Visiting the Grand Shaman of the Gosari Tribe
“In addition, we have to mass produce bows and crossbows. However we need veal veins and horns, the supply is a big problem. Director Said, you need to send cavalry to hunt and kill wild cows to get those items.” Order Heru Cokro.
Raden Said confidently said, “This is not a problem, the cavalry camp is already there, it can be used at any time.”
"Very good. Empu Tumenggung Supodriyo, how many apprentice blacksmiths were developed by the weapons workshop?” Heru Cokro asked.
"In reply to Your Majesty, last month we sent 20 basic blacksmiths to the Armament Division, now we have 50 apprentices." Workshop manager Empu Tumenggung Supodriyo replied.
Heru Cokro shook his head, “That's not enough, far from enough. This month you will have to send at least 100 basic blacksmiths to the Armament Division, sending 30 basic blacksmiths to the Crossbow and Arrow Division and the weapons workshop will need to save 50 basic blacksmiths, as well, can you reach it?”
Empu Tumenggung Supodriyo nodded her head and said, "I'll try my best."
“Not trying your best, you have to do it. If you're short on manpower, go and get some from the Civil Registration Division, I'll give them immediate notice. If you can't finish it then you'll be fired, understand?” Heru Cokro said seriously.
"Yes, I assure you to complete the mission!"
Lastly, Heru Cokro looked at Joyonegoro of the War Preparation Division and said, “The War Preparation Division needs to coordinate with the Material Reserve Bureau and complete the mining and supply program. In addition, you need to contact the Material Backup Bureau and find a suitable wood for the production of bows and cross arrows.”
“Yes, I guarantee you will finish it!” Joyonegoro said loudly.
“Good, that's it. Everyone back to work, I hope to see results in a month.” Heru Cokro concluded.
"Yes!"
2 April the first year of Vishnu.
Batih Ageng, under the help of the main camp, finally completed the construction of the territory wall. From beginning to end, the nomadic tribes were unaware that a military fortress was secretly built in their north.
In order to further increase the defensive power of Batih Ageng, Heru Cokro sent a letter to Zudan Arif to order him to start working in the protective river of the city. The river that protects the city will follow the river from the main camp. To the west of it will be the Bengawan Solo River and to the east will be the Kebonagung river, forming a large sac and Batih Ageng in it.
This way, Batih Ageng would be surrounded by water, and by using the water camp, they could attack and defend, going into an invincible position. Before he built Batih Ageng into an impenetrable fortress, Heru Cokro was not prepared to intersect with nomadic tribes.
After dealing with Batih Ageng, under Director Raden Said and Witana Sideng Rana, they left for the Gosari Tribe. Agus Bhakti led the first cavalry company to protect their safety on the way there.
As they passed through Kebonagung Hamlet, Heru Cokro rested for an hour there to listen to Pusponegoro's report on the current project and situation. In addition, he took the time to test and inspect the newly built Kebonagung Hamlet's protective cavalry company.
Easter is near, and as a food production base in the region, Pusponegoro has started preparing for the festival. The planned 20,000-acre farmland has been reclaimed, and under the influence of the Rembyung Amulet, becomes a fertile farmland. The full 20,000 hectares are used to grow rice.
In addition to reclaiming farmland, Kebonagung Hamlet has also built a large-scale logging camp in the southern forest. The wood supply here is of higher quality than in the main camp, stronger and easier to store. All the resources needed by the shipyard were provided only by the logging camp.
At noon, after a 2-hour walk, Heru Cokro and his men arrived at the Gosari Tribe. This time, their treatment was completely different from the one they received last time. The leader of the tribe, Yusuf Anshori, personally received them outside the fortress.
"Your Majesty, welcome to the Gosari Tribe!" Joseph Anshori said warmly.
This is the miracle of food and grain. Since the Gosari people began working with the Javanese Dwipa, they have eaten enough and never starved. Naturally, Yusuf Anshori's attitude would change and he did not dare to be arrogant towards Heru Cokro.
However, if Yusuf Anshori knew that what they were getting was not even a third of what the White Wolf Mine Farm was producing, how would it react?
Heru Cokro smiled and said, "Hello leader, is that grand shaman alright?"
"Everything's fine! Please login!” Joseph Anshori walked ahead to lead the way as Heru Cokro walked side by side with him.
After the two sides gathered and sat down in the meeting hall, Heru Cokro left Witana Sideng Rana to discuss with Yusuf Anshori about further cooperation, while he got up and went towards the mountain fortress temple to welcome the shaman.
The temple is built on the highest point of the mountain fortress, having more than 200 steps. After climbing to the top, the great shaman stood at the mouth of the temple and greeted Heru Cokro. This is a very battered elder. His eyes looked cloudy and he looked like he was about to die. This elder was the spiritual leader and pride of the Gosari Tribe.
"Guests from afar, I welcome you!" The shaman said in a hoarse voice.
Heru Cokro did not dare to be negligent and said sincerely, “Salam, shaman. The gift you gave us last time was very helpful to our region. To thank you, I have prepared a gift.” Heru Cokro took out a night pearl from his storage bag and gave it to the young shaman standing beside him.
Night pearls are obtained after destroying a great robbers camp. Since the young shaman had never seen such a treasure, he was so shocked that he did not take it.
“Paduka is too polite, a very expensive gift. It's hard for me to accept it.” The shaman gestured for the young shaman to receive him as he walked towards Heru Cokro and said, "Your Majesty, please follow me."
The Gosari Temple is made entirely of stone and is a relatively intact structure.
Heru Cokro was an outsider, so he could not enter the main ancestral hall of the temple. They went to the guest room next to him.
“Dukun, Java Dwipa willing to work with various tribes in the mountain. We don't know if you can help us?” Heru Cokro plunges straight into the core question.
The shaman opened his murky eyes and said, “Our Gosari tribe keeps in touch with the 4 neighboring tribes. Since master has such intentions, I will invite them here.”
“Then, thank you very much to the shaman!” Heru Cokro was overjoyed.
When he left the tribe, he left the Witana Sideng Rana and put him to negotiate with other tribes. The content of detailed cooperation can be similar to that in the Gosari Tribe.
At the same time, in order to thank Heru Cokro for the night pearl, the shaman gave Heru Cokro a pair of Haji Pipit Birds of the Gosari Tribe. These birds are very smart and can travel a long way to get the word out.
