The key to farming lies in the copper plowshare, whose toughness and hardness are incomparable to stone plowshares. It is said that the emergence of metal tools is the key to the significant increase in productivity.
The scale of copper production in Haifan City is now very large. However, except for the two major tribes in Ghost City, who have the opportunity to exchange copper ingots with Haifan City for copper plowshares, other tribes cannot buy them.
The Hai tribe also consumes copper plowshares, so it needs a lot of copper plowshare reserves. In addition to trading copper plowshares with the large tribes in Ghost City, the Hai tribe has shifted its own copper production to tools.
At present, the most produced tool in the Sea Tribe is the copper axe. This thing is extremely useful when doing daily work. When fighting, it can be an important weapon for swordsmen and shieldmen. It is very practical.
Copper spear points were also mass-produced. The copper plowshares were used as a temporary replacement for spear points, after all. Their actual combat effectiveness was certainly not as good as a dedicated spear point. At the very least, the copper spear point was significantly longer than the copper plowshare.
In the future, the Sea Tribe will eventually achieve widespread copper weapons. They haven't even satisfied their own copper wares yet, so they certainly won't trade them away easily. The Ghost Town also had copper wares back then, and the Sea Tribe wouldn't have exchanged a single cent for them, right?
"I can bear it!" Ma Yue gritted his teeth when he heard the news that Poseidon City was looted by grassland people.
"How long can you endure this, you charlatan?" Shuichong asked tentatively.
"We'll talk about it after the autumn harvest."
“That makes sense!”
After the autumn harvest, the ground in Poseidon City will be completely frozen.
It's just ice. If there is an ice and snow vehicle in winter, it can carry more than the cavalry.
"Water Bug, Three Priests, spread the word! After the autumn harvest, I'm going to attack Sun City!"
"ah?"
…
The Sea Tribe was making a big move, ready for war. Poseidon City began recruiting soldiers from its northern and southern branches. Accepting a single tribe as a whole was out of the question; the Sea Tribe needed capable soldiers.
As for the elderly and weak, the Sea Tribe would not accept them, so they could continue to stay in the North and South branches and continue to cooperate with the two branches to farm next year. They would not starve to death. Cooperating with the Sea Tribe to farm was the most cost-effective farming model, and no one was unhappy about it.
In other words, the Hai Tribe's recruitment this time is mainly aimed at tribes that cooperate in farming. The subtext is that if you are not willing to serve in the Hai Tribe and fight in the war, next year, we will not cooperate in farming with your tribe.
The Hai Tribe's appeal was truly immense. Within ten days, the northern and southern branches had already recruited 5,000 men. This showed how many people were gathered further south and north of the two branches.
The recruits were gradually sent to Haifan City for large-scale rotation training, which began before the autumn harvest. A large number of instructors joined the ranks of the new recruits. Bingyueshui and Bingyueyue no longer went out to sea, and Shanyao, Tiedan, and Wuqi all joined the rotation training.
The Hai Tribe had already become very proficient in training new recruits. They had a basic model in place, and they had more basic backbone forces...
Everyone knew the Sea Tribe was about to make a big move. The Grasslanders had plundered Sea City, and it would be strange if the powerful Sea Tribe didn't retaliate. The Sea Tribe, with over 50,000 men, had a disproportionately low percentage of able-bodied men. While the Grasslanders were numerous, could they outmaneuver the Sea Tribe?
The Sea Tribe's military achievements were truly remarkable, especially its army. With advanced weaponry, a large force, and abundant livestock, this super-sized tribe was a behemoth on land.
Less than ten days after the new recruits' training, the Hai tribe's overall autumn harvest began.
Is it very nervous? Not really. The sweet potatoes for spring plowing are ripe first, so we just harvest them first.
Haifan City recruited 5,000 new soldiers, leaving only 1,000 in the city. The rest, men, women, young and old, all joined the Great Harvest Movement.
Autumn harvest is the biggest event for the Sea Tribe. Only when we have food can we survive, right?
No accidents happened, and no enemy raided the Hai tribe's autumn harvest.
Large quantities of sweet potatoes and potatoes were taken into the hands of the Hai tribe.
So much food, can they eat it all? The answer is that even if the Hai tribe recruited 5,000 more men, they still couldn't eat all the food.
"Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, charlatan, all the navy and marines are ready! The reserves of fish oil are very abundant." Shuichong said.
"Alright! Mizumuseum, you'll lead the team this time. I hope the history of the navy will start changing with you."
"yes!"
Almost all the ships of the Sea Tribe were concentrated on the coast of Haifan City, and a large number of marines began to board the ships.
The northern and southern divisions each had two thousand cavalrymen moving towards Haifan City.
“So many ships?”
"It seems that the Sea Tribe has not stopped building ships."
"With fewer ships, we can't transport troops on a large scale, right?"
"It seems...something's wrong?"
Spies from many tribes gathered outside Haifan City, sending messages in various bird-like patterns...
Speaking of which, Ma Yue was a little nervous. He was really unsure about the navy's combat effectiveness. Daily training was different from actual naval combat. In addition, the navy's previous combat record was not very good.
The navy went off to war, but the sea tribe had to continue production, and they dried as many sweet potatoes as possible into dried sweet potatoes.
Two big Kun fish from the Qinghai tribe came and exchanged a lot of sweet potatoes.
Production requires people. Fortunately, the Hai tribe has recruited 5,000 new soldiers and has been training them for more than a month. The order is good and the Hai tribe is not short of people.
Gradually, the cavalry from the north and south divisions also gathered in Haifan City.
"Is the fish oil enough?" Ma Yue asked.
"We can't have a naval battle. It consumes too much fish oil. Almost all the stocks have been taken away by the water bugs' navy." said the third priest.
"Let's boil this batch of fish oil as soon as possible. It's needed for the next war."
"Don't worry about this, charlatan. We have many people. It's just a matter of stewing two Kun fish. It's a piece of cake. It will only take a few days." There are many people in the Hai tribe and they have enough tools. It's just a matter of stewing two Kun fish. How big of a deal is that?
"Chun Wu, is there any change over in Dongshui Bay?" Ma Yue asked.
"The latest news is the same. The combined forces of the grassland people and the Taki tribe don't have as many ships as we do, and our navy has an absolute advantage in numbers."
That’s right! Ma Yue’s target was not the grassland people of Sun City at all, but the grassland people of Dongdong Bay in the East China Sea and the navy of the Taki tribe’s coalition.
With so many ships gathered in Dongshui Bay, as well as a large and capable grassland cavalry army, Ma Yue couldn't concentrate on conquering Sun City. Without eliminating the worries of defeating the grassland and Taki tribe's combined navy, the Sea Tribe couldn't do anything with peace of mind.
The southern grassland coalition had dared to sneak across the river and attack the Hai tribe last time, and they might do it again someday. Ma Yue didn't dare underestimate the southern grassland people's shipping capabilities. They could easily ship thousands of cavalrymen, which posed a huge threat.
Ma Yue wasn't sure whether these grassland people in the south were colluding with the grassland people in the Sun City area. What if the grassland people in the Sun City area deliberately looted Poseidon City in order to lure Haifan City to send troops to Sun City?
Regardless of what the enemy might be thinking, Ma Yue didn't want to send his troops according to their likely assumptions. You think I should attack Sun City, but I won't.
"Spiritual stick, the envoy from the Ghost Forest King Tribe has arrived."
