Chapter 66 Nujiang Fortress

On the Nujiang military reclamation side, they are going to gather the best stonemasons, warriors, and strong women in the tribe to build a fortress in a surprise attack. A circular fort with a diameter of one kilometer is easier to repair than a square one.

Dig the foundation first, because with the help of iron tools, the work efficiency is much faster than using stone spears and stone axes before.

A circle was dug one meter deep and one meter wide, and the excavated soil and stones were thrown in the center of the circle to increase the height of the foundation in the middle of the fortress.

Then tie the wood with stones, tie ropes, tamp the foundation, and then build stone walls along both sides of the foundation, fill the middle with rocks and soil, and compact it.

After one meter above the ground, a high city wall was built with bricks. This year they first built a 3-meter-high wall, and then increased the height year by year.

They thought about it, what would happen to the Nu River outpost in winter without a natural barrier?

Taking advantage of the cold weather in winter, water is poured on the city wall every day, and then it freezes, slippery and hard, which increases the thickness of the city wall.

This method was learned from the general of the Yang family from my grandfather when I was young.

Build the city wall first, build the city wall up, and build slowly inside.

In order to solve the water source problem in the city, the pottery department was asked to step up the production of ceramic pipes with a diameter of 30 cm. Each pipe is 1.1 meters thick and one end is thin. The thick end fits the thin end. , caulk the joints with lime and velvet fiber.

One warrior resists one, it is very convenient to transport and install.

A 200-meter underground passage was dug from the Nujiang River to the city, and the pipes were buried in it, and then filled with soil, so that it could not be seen from the outside.

The water intake is also chosen to be 1.1 meters below the water surface, where it will not freeze in winter, and the water flows through underground pipes to the spring pool on the small square in the center of the city.

Castles in the Middle Ages in Europe used rivers dug from the surface to lead into the castle. When the enemy came, they would cut off the water source for you, and you would stare blankly.

The envoy of God would not do such a thing. In fact, the real situation is that the envoy of God does not know how to dig a well and is thinking about it.

The sewage and rainwater produced by washing vegetables, face and clothes will be discharged from the urban area through another pipeline.

The water outlet is on the outer wall of the public toilet.

Public toilets are also built on the north side of the city wall, and the cesspool is outside the city wall. A large pit has been dug. To the east is the taro field, which is also convenient for fertilization when the freeze is thawed every spring.

Why not build in the southeast, south?Because in spring when the southeast wind blows, and the south wind blows, there will be a smell.

And when it is cold in winter, there will be north wind, northeast wind and northwest wind. At that time, the toilet will be frozen and will not smell too much.

God envoys adults to give these basic knowledge to the leaders while building.

The patriarch led [-] good hunters to hunt in the wilderness. This year, he must hunt horses and try to match each person with a horse.

With horses, roads have meaning.

And donkeys, women need donkey hides to boil donkey-hide gelatin.

In the spring, groups of wild horses, wild donkeys, wild boars, wolves, antelopes, gazelles, and large beasts have not yet appeared.

The original cattle, sheep, and chickens in the tribe are all breeding, and they have laid calves, lambs, and eggs one after another.

God sent adults to take time to teach women how to express milk, and to add nutrition to the elderly and children under the age of five.

However, the elderly can't drink milk, it's uncomfortable to drink, and they are lactose intolerant.

Instead of drinking goat's milk, and disliked the smell of goat's milk, let the children drink it.

The patriarch's young agent team also participated in heavy and busy farming, pottery making, brick burning, hunting, building forts, making vehicles, planting herbs, and other heavy work.

Every night when I go back to the big house, I will go to class again and listen to the teachings of the God Envoy, the Patriarch, and some brothers.

Because the weather was getting warmer, pottery could not be fired in the big house, so we moved to the foot of the mountain to burn pottery in the same place as the brick factory.

I only use the ground fire dragon here once when making dinner to get rid of the cold at night, and move it outside during the day.

Because the weather was getting warmer, many warriors set up tents in the local area according to the assigned tasks, made a fire and cooked on the spot, and did not come back at night.

Most of the people in the big house are children, minors, pregnant women, parturients, and the elderly.

The God Envoy also rides back on the snow-white and mighty Huahua when he has classes or when he has something to do. He lives in the fortress construction site on a daily basis and solves the problems he encounters at any time.

When the fortress is built, a blast furnace will be built in the fortress, and the finished iron products will be sent directly to Dragon Valley, so there is no need to bother transporting iron ore.

Because ironmaking is a highly confidential job, there must be a strong fortress, and a place that is not easy to be captured by the enemy is safe.

Montenegro is now just a tent area, and it is far away from the base camp, so it is not safe. Don't think about building a blast furnace right now. When it really develops into a town in the future, you can consider building an industrial base.

All the work is in full swing, busy going on, the witch doctor Ah Mu found the God Envoy and said, "It's time for us to hold the Spring Ritual."

He Qinghuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled; "It's been a year since I've been here." Very busy.

Well, the spring festival is a good thing. There must be something to improve everyone's cohesion. Many big families in the south will hold their own gatherings. The old brothers who have not been seen can also take this opportunity to eat and drink, and the broken family and friendship can be linked again.

Good thing, from now on, we will continue the spring festival every year and have a big meal.

A few key points are mentioned at the moment: First, it will be held in front of the tomb of the martyrs who died in the human-animal war last year, expressing memory and respect.

The second is to pile up all the bones of the beasts that were left behind last year on both sides of the tomb, and make them into a beast Jingguan, which means that they will be buried with the martyrs.

The third thing is to prepare meals for the whole family of [-] people, and have a big meal for all the rest.

This matter is handed over to the witch doctor Ah Mu with full authority, from the process, the location, the dishes, and the deployment of personnel.

The eyes of the witch doctor Amu are shining. There has never been a spring festival like this before. The scale is grand.

So excited, so excited, it will definitely be done.

He Qinghuan thought how would more than 1000 people eat?

The bamboo in Xiaoyue Mountain has not been used yet. In spring, the women went to dig a lot of bamboo shoots and came back to fry meat to eat, adjust their diet and supplement nutrition. The bamboo has not been cut yet.

Immediately organize the women to cut bamboo, and the women are also assigned machetes, which are kitchen knives, which can be used for multiple purposes.

Since they had kitchen knives, women's combat effectiveness has been improved by more than one level. They often kill a rabbit to add vegetables when they are digging wild vegetables.

Cutting bamboo shoots is even easier. This spring, I caught a lot of bamboo rats in the bamboo forest and came back to raise them. When children over five years old and under ten years old go out with women, they carry small baskets on their backs and are responsible for raising them. The animals go to get feed.

Except for breastfeeding children and old people who lie down and cannot move, there is no idle person in the whole tribe. The mothers also carry baskets with their children in them and go out to pick together, not to mention pregnant women. in labor.

Soon the woman came back with bamboo on her shoulders, and Chunhua was in charge of the weaving department, leading a few women to learn from Master Shenshi.

First break the bamboo into four pieces, and then use a kitchen knife to break it into small pieces, and then start to weave a square basket with sparse grids.

It is a square table used for banquets on the southern long street. Put the pottery bowls and basins on it, and sit cross-legged on the ground. It is very comfortable, much more comfortable than eating on the ground.

Moreover, the weaving has a little bell mouth, so that they can be stacked one by one, and do not take up space when not in use.

It is also very light to carry, even if it is rotten, it can be used as firewood. It is natural green and pollution-free, and it is an absolutely environmentally friendly material.

After the Master God Envoy instructed them to make up, they rode Huahua and hurried back to the fort construction site.

Just wait until the morning of the spring festival to come back.

The women and children in the base camp were like ants cutting bamboo back from Xiaoyue Mountain, carrying bamboo shoots in baskets and carrying bamboo on their shoulders.

After weaving less than [-] bamboo tables, I started to prepare the meals for the day.

All the people got the news that they will go back to the base camp to participate in the spring festival three days later, arranged for the personnel on duty that day, and the rest were all in high spirits, looking forward to participating in such a grand spring festival.
