Chapter 16 Viagic
Bai Jieyou finally convinced Dai Qing, perhaps because Dai Qing believed that there were still Pecenege people and the Xhosa people between his tribe and the Thunder Ye Army, and it would take a long time to fight him. With his ability, it would be understandable to live a day.
Of course, he still had the idea of "the dark forest in the north is extremely vast, and at most he could retreat into the dense forest."
In any case, the arrival of the Bulgarians established some subtle connection with the Qin State.
In fact, Sun Xiurong was not very concerned about the Bulgarians, he was concerned about the Viajiki people further north.
According to Marovet's recollection, "We used a grandmother as a village and would build two rows of long houses in the jungle to live for the grandmother's daughter and granddaughters. Each row has about ten rooms, a total of twenty rooms."
"Every room lives with daughters and granddaughters' underage children, about fifteen years old. When boys are fifteen years old, they will go out to hunt under the oldest male, while girls start to learn to build houses, collect fruits, farm, and sew leather jackets under the arrangement of their grandmother."
"This is a village. Each village can accommodate a limited population. If there is too much population, some men and women will be driven out and they will rebuild the village far away from their grandmother."
"We learned to farm from the Varyag people. We only know how to plant rye. Before planting, we will choose a place close to the river, burn all the trees and weeds there, and then dig out shallow gullies on the ground, plant the seeds and then don't care."
"After several years, if the land is too small, the village will migrate, move to the next unburned wasteland, and then repeat it."
"There are many wild animals and wild fruits in the forest. Hunting, gathering income, and rye can fully support a family. Sometimes the excess males who are expelled will secretly approach another village, kill the males there, and finally take the village for themselves."
"This phenomenon is intolerable by my grandmother. In our myth, such people will go to hell. Therefore, although there are, there are not many such phenomena. However, with the rise of the Varyag people, this phenomenon began to permeate the dark forest like a plague."
"My grandmother is the longest-lived parent in a century. It is said that she is 100 years old. Her great-granddaughter has begun to have children. This proves what she said is true. For this reason, she is very famous in the Orlo area. People who advocate longevity believe that they must be favored by the gods."
"Although the phenomenon of father-oriented people began to appear in Viajichi, due to the appearance of grandmother, many villages began to gather in Orlo. Ahem, Orlo, in the language of Viajichi, it is a credible mother."
(Orlo, near Kirov, later generations, Russia)
"At the beginning, there were only ten villages, but finally they developed to one hundred. By the time the Bulgarians invaded, they had developed to about three hundred, all around the Viajichi River Basin centered on Orlo, with an area of about five hundred miles. By the way, when the Viajichi people tracked their prey, they could only walk out of ten days, which is fifty miles a day, a total of five hundred miles, otherwise they would be punished by heaven."
(Viagichi River, later generations flowed through the Viatka River in Kirov)
"A village with two rows of houses has twenty rooms, each room can accommodate four to five people, about a hundred people, one hundred people is ten thousand people, and three hundred people is 30,000 people."
"In other places, there are many large settlements like this, but there are few villages like my grandmother, and there are generally around 100 villages. We were knotted at that time, and more than 300 were difficult for my grandmother."
"As for how many such large settlements are in the vast dark forest, I can't tell you clearly, because the colder the north is, there must be not many people who can gather. In this case, there are only ten large settlements like my grandmother. One time, I followed my tribe members to track down a group of prey. On a whim, I forgot the time and chased them to the desolate ice field without forests."
"There were a huge white bear, and we ran back in horror. We only saw a large settlement like my grandmother along the way. My grandmother's settlement was moved from the west. They kept moving eastward, remembering the time in their hearts. It took me about half a year to arrive here."
"That is to say, from here to west and north, there are only six settlements like Grandmother, including the tribe, including the tribe, which is between 150,000 and 200,000. The Viajiki people have no concept of households, only villages, that is, two thousand villages, scattered in the dense forest."
Before going to the dark forest, Malovis, who came from the Great Viajichi settlement (they could not be called a tribe), introduced the legendary forest in detail to Bai Jieyou.
"My grandmother is called Buqika, which is actually the grandmother of the Viajiki people. However, when she is regarded as a god, she can only call her Babushka."
(Babushka, the meaning of grandmother in Russian)
"And our large settlement, which is still precious to mothers, is called "Buqika". Originally, we built a long house where the Kazan River flowed into the Attila River. After being robbed by the Bulgarians, we went deep into the dense forest until Olor."
"Although my grandmother had a high prestige, she was first hit by the Varyags and invaded by the Bulgarians. Even her grandmother realized that relying on women alone could not guarantee the integrity of her tribe, so she began to fix the women's partners. When I was kidnapped, I also knew who my father was, although his status was not as good as my mother."
"In a man whose grandmother is still alive, he is at least thirty years younger than her. Under his command, he gradually has a unit that usually makes a living by hunting and patrolls the surrounding forests. They do not have iron weapons, they all tie sharp stones with wooden sticks, and they can't make bows and arrows, but they will use appropriate stones to smash people from a distance."
"The most powerful ones can also use ropes to tie stones to attack enemies and animals. Such people are called warriors by their tribe members."
Bai Jieyou nodded and thought to himself: "As what the king told me, such a tribe is still in the matriarchal social stage, and such a tribe is too stupid. Why does the king still want us to go deep into it and contact it? I want to take down the Khanate of the Khanate of the Xhosa and the tribes attached to the Khanate of the Xhosa."
"Although the entire Xhosa Khanate is not as good as ours, there are two million people. If they take over their national strength, they will suddenly increase by a large part."
"If you are worried about religious factors, the current Khra Khanate is only aristocrat with centurion or above who believe in Judaism, and the majority of herders are still believers of shamanism. It is only a matter of time before their children are included in the school. After the Ye Army broke up, it is only a matter of time before they all turned to the Great Qin State."
"According to Malovis, even if the entire Viagiki people were taken down, there would be only 200,000..."
Thinking of this, Bai Jieyou seemed to have caught something, "Malovis, what is the lifespan of your tribe?"
"It's not long, most of them are around thirty years old. Because they value girls over boys, the children born naturally take special care of women and ignore men. Therefore, the tribe has more women and fewer men, with a population of 200,000, and the female population accounts for almost 60% of them."
Bai Jieyou said intimately: "Although this Slavs is wild, they are all blonde hair, high nose and deep eyes, and have fair skin. According to the king's theory, Dingkou, only by fully integrating can more excellent genes be passed on. And those Xhosa, Bulgarian, and Alan are almost all Turkic people from the east, with similar faces to me."
"If all these ignorant Slavs were included, especially those who could give birth to a large number of women, it seemed that they would bring some improvement to the face of the Great Qin State. These people had no words, their language was also very crude, and their vocabulary was no more than three hundred words, and assimilating them was much easier than these Turkic people."
Thinking of something again, he asked, "Where is the Varyag people? How many are their number?"
Malovis said: "They are descendants of the Normans and Viajikis from the far west. Because the Normans can smel iron tools, build large ships, and are good at robbery. They have very strong combat power. They quickly conquered the Viajikis from several large lakes in the west."
"Their full-time warriors have dozens or even hundreds of Viajichi women alone. The children born are trained according to the Norman tradition. Both men and women will fight, and they will also farm. By the way, their level is naturally not as good as that of the Great Qin Kingdom, but they are not bad in the dark forest area, and they can stay around a piece of land for at least 10 or 20 years."
"From the sea to the east, about a thousand miles away, they are their territory. Because of the higher grain output and abundant fish, they can feed more people. It is estimated that Dingkou is more than Viajiki in the east, but it is twice as many as 300,000 to 400,000 people, among which there are a few thousand warriors, but there are about twenty thousand young and strong men."
"They can make iron weapons, and they are best at making big axes, sledgehammers, spears, shields and armors, and can make small boats that can travel freely across rivers in the forest. Therefore, in terms of number and speed, they are far superior to the Viagiki people, nor much worse than the Mazar and Pecheneg people."
"Otherwise, I would not have been barely defeated in the last battle of Kiev, but I still saved the Kiev Wood Fort."
Speaking of this, a glimmer of light appeared in Malovis' eyes.
"According to the grandmother, the Viagichi moved from the southwest of the Varyags. According to the Jewish merchants, there were Germans and Slavs in those places. Unfortunately, the Germans gained the upper hand again, and the Slavs became their slaves."
"But they are all serfs who are fixed on the land, with their own wives and children, and cattle and horses used to cultivate them. In addition to handing over the grain and vegetables they harvest, they can also leave a considerable portion of the harvest for themselves. However, the amount of grain they pay for still needs to be decided by the men."

"When there is war, you also need to go to war."
