The blacksmiths are a father and a son. Their surname is Qi. The father’s name is Qi Dashan and the son’s name is Qi Xiaoshan. People here call them the old blacksmith and the young blacksmith respectively.
Huang Yi realized the importance of the blacksmith to a tribe, and was not prepared to ask Hedanbaat'er for someone. He just took out a crossbow arrow as a sample and asked the old blacksmith to follow suit.
After seeing it, the old blacksmith said that it was possible to make the general appearance, but it was impossible to make it exactly the same.
This is not a problem. There are enough blanks. Huang Yi originally wanted to do it himself, repair it carefully with a file, and grind it slowly with a whetstone to minimize the error.
Huang Yi asked him to make it as quickly as possible.
The old blacksmith knew how to read people's words and saw that Huang Yi was a master. He hurriedly agreed, saying that as long as he brought iron and steel materials, he would start the furnace immediately.
Forehead! How can Huang Yi have steel in his hands?
But he didn't think the blacksmith's house would be without any steel.
Huang Yi did not use force to coerce, but sat down and had a good talk with the old blacksmith, and finally reached an agreement to exchange ten sheep, one piece of coarse cloth, and two kilograms of salt for ten steel crossbow arrows.
No matter how much he wanted, the old blacksmith was helpless because he told Huang Yi that he only had a little bit of fine iron at home, which might only be enough to make ten crossbow arrows.
Huang Yi originally wanted to make a Minnie gun, but he had to give up without the raw materials!
The Minigun also does not belong to this era and should be a product of two hundred years later.
But Huang Yi knows how to do it!
It's not that Huang Yi is extremely smart, but because Huang Yi knows the principle of minion bullets and has an exploded view of a matchlock gun and a video of a flintlock gun saved on his phone.
I believe that as long as the blacksmith can produce rough parts, Huang Yi can use files to modify and assemble a minigun. It will only take a lot of time and may scrap a lot of barrels.
The minigun is actually the pinnacle of the muzzle-loading powder gun, with an effective range of more than 800 meters. It is actually a muzzle-loading flintlock rifled powder gun. What makes it unique is the design of the minigun.
It's a pity that it was born at the wrong time. Not long after its birth, the Mini gun was eliminated by the more convenient and practical breech-loading Dresser rifle.
Huang Yi believes that it shouldn't be too difficult to make one or two miniguns by yourself with the participation of a blacksmith. There is a structural diagram of a flintlock gun on his mobile phone!
In fact, it is not difficult to make a breech-loaded Dresser rifle, and this exploded view is also saved on your mobile phone.
It's just that the Dresser rifle needs to use a mercury fulminate primer. This thing is not black powder, but a chemical product, and it won't be tinkered with for a while.
well! No matter what gun you make, even a red tassel gun, you have to use steel.
Huang Yi is in urgent need of steel, but unfortunately this thing is a scarce commodity on the prairie. It is not only expensive but also in small quantity.
There is no good solution for the time being. I can only tell Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong to collect any iron objects they see in the future.
In fact, this is completely nonsense. All the grassland tribes regard iron objects as treasures and cannot throw them away, even a rusty iron nail.
The victory over the Bayan'er tribe was Hedanbaat'er's greatest victory since he became the tribal chief. It more than doubled the tribe's population, food, supplies, cattle, sheep, and horses.
No one can monopolize the spoils, of course they must be distributed according to merit.
As a result, Huang Yi not only divided up five Han slaves and a twenty-five tael of silver ingot.
He also received three sets of leather armor, one cotton armor, ten cows, three horses, and three hundred sheep.
Three yurts, two large pots, ten pieces of coarse cloth, two bags of grain flour, etc. were also added. Another six Mongolian families became, how should I say?
The relationship between them and Huang Yi should be equivalent to the owners and tenants of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Yi was their manager.
There are eleven men in these six Mongolian families, all of whom are from the Bayaner tribe who surrendered. Huang Yi guessed that he should be a small leader equivalent to a captain of ten.
This time no knight asked to exchange slaves for Huang Yi's leather armor.
This is of course because a lot of them were captured and all the knights had leather armor points.
Karitu and Geereng not only gained leather armor, but also a pair of iron armor.
A total of four sets of armor were seized in this battle. The original owners were Bayaner, the leader of the tribe, and his two sons.
Iron armor is so precious that Bayaner owns two pairs. He would rather keep one idle than give it to his warriors.
It can be seen how failed you are in being a person and doing things.
Hedanbaatar is completely different. Not only is he not afraid of death and charging at the forefront, he also has the spirit to share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates.
It is also because of this kind of character that his tribe has been able to persist.
This battle is won! Not only did Huang Yi get the spoils and population, but all the warriors who followed Hedanbaat'er's night attack were rewarded according to their merits. Probably a small number of them became captains of ten.
A total of more than forty young and middle-aged men were killed on both sides, and dozens of old, young, women, and children from the Bayaner tribe died in the melee.
The population has decreased by about a hundred, and there is not much loss of supplies. Not only is there more food, but the soldiers formerly under Hedan Battle also have two layers of armor.
It can be seen from this that if there is not enough food, we have to fight! The poorer you are, the worse you get.
The principle of fairness is very important!
This time the division of the spoils should be considered basically fair!
Including Hedan Battle, there are five warriors with iron armor plus leather armor or iron armor plus cotton armor.
Of course, these five people include Geerleng and Kaletu, who are undoubtedly the most skilled, bravest and most capable of fighting.
With the armored equipment, Karitu and the other five knights will definitely not be defeated in a head-to-head battle with Jiannu.
In fact, Jiannu are not good at cavalry, they are more adapted to infantry fighting.
Hedanbaatar gave the strongest warriors the best equipment, which not only improved their combat effectiveness, but also made other knights more brave, and everyone strived to obtain iron armor.
Next, Huang Yi offered advice again. He suggested that Hedanbaatar should continue his efforts and strengthen himself when morale is high and the gods are blessing him.
There was no need for Huang Yi to talk nonsense about how to strengthen himself. Hedanbaat'er, who felt that he was possessed by the gods, immediately sent Geereng and Karitu to lead a dozen knights to search for the nearest tribe.
Of course, if you find a big tribe, you should avoid it. If you find a small tribe, then you will be sorry.
Huang Yi, who was not assigned a mission, spent all his time practicing horseback riding and getting acquainted with his Mongolian family and several Han people.
Of these five Han Chinese, three men and two women, only one named Ma Wu was about the same age as Huang Dazhi and the others.
There are two women. One husband's surname is Tian, who is about the same age as Zhang, and the other is an unmarried surnamed Li who is in his early twenties. Both of them are sallow and thin, but they are both hard-working people.
The older man's surname was Liu, Liu Shifu, and Huang Yi called him Lao Liu.
Lao Liu is an expert at tending animals and driving carts. According to him, he is also an expert at farming. He also knows how to deliver babies to large animals and domesticate cattle.
He was a former slave of Bayaner and had been a slave for six years.
He also brought a big dog with him. This dog was not his. It was the hunting dog of the original owner, Bayaner, and he had always kept it.
When Bayan'er tribe was attacked at night, Lao Liu hugged the dog tightly to prevent it from jumping out and biting people, which was equivalent to saving a dog's life.
After Huang Yi learned about Liu Shifu's specialties, he asked him to choose a few of his own dozen cows to try to domesticate. The cows that could be domesticated would not be traded in the future.
Another man named Jiang Yugui was about thirty years old and stronger than Lao Liu. He was a military household in Liaodong, and his whole family was massacred by Jian slaves and Tatars.
He was not caught by the slaves and bought into the prairie, but he escaped to the prairie and was captured by the Mongolian tribes as a slave.
