"Tie Lin, you really figured out this bird-borne message thing, haha!" Ma Yue was delighted. With this thing, long-distance messaging became much more convenient. Cavalry would often be away for a month or two, and the news would have long been outdated.
"This isn't my achievement. It was part of the bargaining chips that Minister Shang Yin made when he was negotiating with the Qingfeng Tribe." Tie Lin said without a trace of greed. "This red-feathered bird is incredibly loyal to its mate and very caring towards its children. It will always find them, no matter how far it has to go."
Oh, so that's the principle. It seems very logical. Don't think that animals don't have feelings. Even in previous lives, there are stories of geese committing suicide for love. As for wild beasts protecting their calves, there are countless examples.
Therefore, if you want to use this bird called Red Feather to send messages, the interval cannot be too long. If it is too long, Red Feather will be separated from its spouse or children for too long and may commit suicide.
"Has it been tested?"
"Well, I've tried it. I flew back from the northern branch with a tailwind and arrived in about half a day. It was really fast!" Isn't this nonsense? Of course flying in the sky is much faster than running on the ground.
It is certain that homing pigeons in the past could fly at speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour with the wind. Of course, the flight of homing pigeons is restricted by many factors, such as the sun, wind, clouds, magnetic field, temperature, natural enemies, their own factors, etc. Long-distance flights also test the pigeons' ability to find food in the wild and roost overnight.
Ma Yue didn't understand homing pigeons, nor did he understand this red-feathered bird, but the general principle was probably the same. Although this red-feathered bird was much larger than a homing pigeon and flew a little faster, it wasn't too exaggerated.
"That's great. If there are enough, we can first spread it to the many branches of our Hai Tribe."
"Yes!" Tie Lin nodded. "Sage, do you want to set up Red Feather Intelligence Stations in other areas as well?"
"You should discuss this matter with Chunwu, and take it step by step, especially in the ghost town area. Don't set up control of the Red Feather intelligence point for the time being, understand?" Chunwu is better at intelligence work. As long as he explains the key points, Chunwu will arrange it.
Ma Yue believed that since Shang Yin was able to scrape out red feathers from the Qingfeng tribe, the number should be quite large.
"You must quickly formulate detailed regulations for raising Red Feathers, including the detailed regulations for transmitting intelligence..."
Tielin left. Ma Yue couldn't help but sigh, "This kid is still too young. How could you come to me on your own to report something like this? You have a superior. Even if you don't come with the three priests, if the intelligence matches, you should find Chunwu first."
It’s understandable that young people are impulsive and like to show off.
Some things can be taught, but some things are hard for others to explain and you have to figure them out on your own.
Actually, Shang Yin was somewhat to blame for this. He'd always thought this thing was mysterious, perhaps a spirit beast or something, suitable for a cultivator to control. Currently, in Haifan City, besides the charlatan, there was only one dead cultivator left, Tie Lin. That was why Shang Yin had handed the Red Feather directly to Tie Lin.
Furthermore, Tielin was usually relatively low-key and inconspicuous. In Haifan City, there were so many capable people that Tielin's role was somewhat unclear. Unlike Wang Chao and Niu Tou, who were older, everyone naturally assumed they were the deputies to the Second and Third Priests.
Besides, Wang Chao and Niu Tou held the title of Director of the Justice Bureau, which meant they were in charge of the position. However, Tie Lin was young, and he didn't look like he was the deputy director of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of such a large city, right? Was there a position for Director of the Justice Bureau...
In fact, Ma Yue didn't know much about Tielin. It was a bit too much for him to be the director of the Justice Bureau at such a young age. So sometimes, young age can be a difficult position for cadres.
Even though Ma Yue knew more about Bing Yueshui and Bing Yueyue, they only held the vague position of a small priest and were not someone who had the final say anywhere.
The people of the Sea Tribe mostly respected the role of the Little Priest because you were a spiritual cultivator. However, within the Sea Tribe's management, there was no such rank as Little Priest, so the position and authority were very vague.
Whether it's the Civil Affairs Department or the Military Department, the Hai Tribe has a hierarchy, with clearly defined responsibilities. In the Civil Affairs Department, above the captain is the director, and above the director is the minister...
At that time, the leaders of the Hai tribe didn't have Ma Yue's scheming, much less understanding leadership intrigues. They spoke directly. Even Tie Lin himself felt that he was still learning about civil affairs and was basically just an errand boy.
As for the three priests, Chun Wu and the like, it was even less likely that they would argue with a child about rights. For the time being, Ma Yue's worries were unnecessary.
Sure enough, when Chun Wu got the magical red feather, she excitedly ran to Ma Yue and talked about the wonders of the red feather.
Ma Yue had no choice but to explain the arrangement for Hong Lingyu to Chun Wu again. Now that they were professionally matched, Ma Yue didn't have to worry about it anymore.
The first thing Chunwu thought of was the team going to attack the Oak Bay Taki tribe. It was a matter of great importance to the overall situation, and news from there had to be received as soon as possible.
So I found Shuichong. Are you the leader of the navy? The navy has returned after transporting Gray Wolf's army. It is impossible for them to wait at that secret seaport. What if they are discovered by the enemy?
Shuichong felt it was very necessary, so several sailing ships of the navy went out to sea with a few red feathers.
In fact, even without the Red Feather, Bing Yueyue, who was accompanying the troops on the expedition, could have brought a spirit boat, and the round trip would have been just as fast. However, as the charlatan said, war is not a game for cultivators, so if the army could popularize the Red Feather messaging system, the timeliness of battle information would be guaranteed.
