Chapter 251 Warfare, House Construction

Training a professional armed force can enhance the tribe's armed strength and can also deal with foreign enemies.

Now, excluding the female support team, the Xia tribe has seven hunting teams with a total of 70 men that can be trained.

After these seventy people are trained, let them serve as coaches and train other tribesmen together. There is no way not to train other tribesmen now, because they still have to build the inner city of the Xia tribe.

Wang Wei could only advance the construction and training plans of the army.

The crisis that the Xia tribe is facing now is like a war. We must seize the time and not waste a moment!

"Xia Feng, did Xia Dazui go to Muma Village?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, he said that Xia Yi has exchanged more than 30 horses. This time he went with one hunting group or seven groups. He will be back today."

"Very good. After we come back, all members of the hunting team will have a meeting. In addition, we should find a flat land with no other tribes around. I think the hot spring valley is good. There is a large grassland there. You first go and build a

Horse pens, smooth grass.”

"What is your Majesty going to do?"

Wang Wei smiled and said: "I want to train you."

"Training? How else to train?"

"Just wait and do as I say."

After Xia Feng left, Wang Wei said to Yi Hu:

"How big and long a log can you carry, Laihu?"

"I haven't tried this yet. I can carry an adult on my back."

Wang Wei guessed that it would only weigh 120 to 30 kilograms, but it was not bad. He saw that the tiger was tall and should be able to carry heavier logs.

"You take people to the logging team to get tools, cut down trees with a diameter of 15 centimeters, logs with a length of 1.5 meters, and polish them smooth. A total of 70 such logs are needed."

Laihu didn't ask what the use of these was, and left with the fifth hunting group.

Wang Wei's military training was carried out using the training methods of modern soldiers, because this is the most efficient and useful training method. It focuses on basic training and physical training, as well as military coordination training.

Wang Wei took into account the current characteristics of primitive people and minimized basic training subjects, increased physical training, and focused on teamwork training.

He planned that the basic training subjects include lining up, standing at attention, walking in unison, running, stepping, standing, and pulling in the middle of the night. This is simple enough. He only needs soldiers from the Xia tribe to stand up straight, walk steadily, and obey orders. But it is also more difficult.

Yes, a simple action like standing in a military posture will be repeated mechanically for an unknown number of times.

Physical training is to strengthen the body and test endurance. Physical training items include double-fist push-ups, 400-meter obstacle course, three-kilometer cross-country run, five-kilometer run, 20-meter frog jump, 100-meter squat, 50-meter duck walk, and sit-ups.

Military cooperation training is to work together to complete a certain training and strengthen cooperation, such as tug of war, sprinting 100 meters, etc.

Finally, there is spear, shield, archery, and riding training. Later, the training subjects of spear, long-handled broadsword, axe, and hammer will be added. Since the hunting group has been using shields and iron spears for a long time, their training is on a regular basis.

In practice, archery and riding skills must be divided into separate people, and Wang Wei will also specially train those with riding and archery talents.

Since there are only these few weapons training subjects at present, the existing hunting groups need to be disrupted and re-divided into arms, such as infantry and cavalry.

Infantrymen need to engage in close-range tug-of-war and capture cities and territories. The tasks are diverse: including exploring new continents, suppressing rebellions, and guarding important cities. They even participate in engineering construction, widening land routes, repairing important roads, building castles, etc.

The greatest advantages of light cavalry are their fast speed and strong mobility. Therefore, on the battlefield, light cavalry is mainly used for flanking, detours, outflanking, penetration, reconnaissance, etc. In addition, they can also explore new continents, transmit information, etc.

Thinking about it this way, the Xia tribe has horses and can form a cavalry. Even the infantry has horses, which will give them greater mobility.

Wang Wei plans to allocate troops according to each person's characteristics in the follow-up training. However, the previous basic training, physical training, and teamwork training must also be carried out.

If you have a plan and you have confidence in your mind, you won’t panic too much.

When Wang Wei was constructing the military training blueprint for the Xia tribe, Cao Ming came to him.

He encountered problems with sewerage and drainage in the newly built city.

Wang Wei's plan for the new city is to drain sewer sewage, rainwater, washing and other water through the sewer into the moat. The water from the moat leads to the upstream and downstream of the Yong'an River, allowing the water inside to move.

The feces in the city must be collected and hauled out of the city to a fixed place every day for composting in preparation for the Xia tribe's agriculture.

Cao Ming's idea is that whoever has dirt should be discharged into the sewer.

Wang Wei disapproved of it. In hot weather, mosquitoes are prone to appear, the smell is not good, and you may even get sick due to poor hygiene.

He also went to the city's construction sites to check. Currently, housing, canteens and warehouses are being built at the same time, and the foundations have already been completed.

In addition, sewer trenches are being dug and bricks are being laid.

There are more than a dozen toilets in the city, ranging in size, all of which are dry toilets. The toilet cesspools are made of cement and bricks, and must be waterproofed. Because wells must be dug in the city, safety and sanitation must be ensured.

Before the internal construction of the new city, Wang Wei made some adjustments in the previous planning. For example, the courtyard he built had major adjustments, including kitchens, warehouses, toilets, bathrooms, halls, dining rooms, etc. The area of ​​the courtyard,

The rooms have been increased.

In addition, seven or eight courtyard houses have been built. Although they are much smaller, they still have some basic functions. They are prepared for people with great merit.

Everything necessary must be built within the city, such as barracks, small hospitals, government offices, specialized conference rooms, schools, workshops, warehouses, animal pens, etc.

The barracks planned for the hunting group in the city will be converted into barracks in the future. The barracks occupy a small area and are mainly used to store weapons and station soldiers guarding the city. Datongpu will be built in the housing. Ten people can live in one room, which is about

At present, there are only about a hundred people in the Xia tribe's regular armed personnel. In the future, they may expand and perhaps build a camp outside the city.

The small hospital is a comprehensive place where Xia tribe integrates research, medical treatment, hospitalization, etc.

The Yamen is the area where Wang Wei works for people with public offices in the Xia tribe. For example, Wang Wei himself does not have a fixed office and travels around all day. Now that the Xia tribe is engaged in construction, he can give guidance wherever he goes.

.In the future, when he is not busy, he and others will need a fixed place to work.

The special conference room is also in the Yamen, next to the office. There is a large podium on the top, which is basically where Wang Wei holds meetings, and rows of seats below.

The school is a very important teaching area for the Xia tribe and will cultivate talents for the Xia tribe.

Since the city is not big, brick-making and pottery-making are all outside the city. When there is time in the future, these places can be enclosed by walls.

The workshops in the city retain the ironworks and carpentry workshops.

The iron smelting workshop is very important. The Xia tribe can make weapons, and the tools must be kept secret.

The carpentry workshop is also very important. In addition to regular furniture production, Wang Wei's new weapons, such as bows and crossbows, will also be produced confidentially.

Horse pens and stables are often used here. Other animals are usually raised outside the city and are only moved to the city in emergencies.



The construction of the inner city has been going on for two days, and several houses have been built.

Wang Wei came to one of the rooms and saw skilled workers from the Xia tribe leading people to build a fire pit.

This fire pit was built based on Wang Wei’s yellow clay model.

The fire pit is stretched in a row against the wall and is 2 meters wide, accounting for half of the entire room. The fire pit is built with bricks. Since there are no steel bars, Wang Wei had to use cement bricks with a length and width of 80 centimeters instead. Bricks are laid every 70 centimeters inside the pit.

, leaving a gap of 20 cm on the other end without sealing it. Then, build from the gap with a distance of 70 cm, leaving another gap on the other side. Just enough cement bricks can be placed between the two sections of bricks.

Until it is completely covered, use cement to smooth the entire surface of the heated kang.

The walls and floors of such a house will eventually be smoothed with cement, and the walls will be whitewashed with lime.

Wang Wei watched their operations for a while, and there was no problem. They were all done in strict accordance with his requirements.

The bricklaying tools they used were all made by Wang Wei at the request of the carpentry team and the ironmaking team. The trowel boards used were made of wooden boards; the bricklaying knives were made of iron; and the ash boards were also made of wooden boards.

There is also a tool called the pendant maker, which is used to control the vertical plane. It is made of iron and has a conical shape. The pendant wire is dropped as a reference for verticality. Various wooden rulers of different lengths and sizes are also made.

Exact dimensions are engraved on it.

He came to the other side of the room. This was a small house where wood would be piled in the future. This house had a special stove for burning the kang, which was connected to the kang next door. A clay pot would be installed on the stove, which could boil water.

Used to wash feet, face, etc.

On the other side of the fire kang, this is the smoke outlet of the fire kang.
