The Fall of the Seng and the Joining of Other Tribes
“Paduka, as long as we can smoothly build a military meadow, have some people and resources, as well as open the path from the Gosari Tribe to the valley, the result will still be worth it!” Raden Said continued to persuade Heru Cokro.
"Well, we'll do as you planned!" Heru Cokro finally made up his mind and continued, “The Military Affairs Division must establish good communication with the Transportation Division and make preparation arrangements. After we returned to the region, perhaps it was time to make contact with the nomadic tribes. It is not good to delay any further.”
"Understood!"
The 23rd of April.
Heru Cokro went on a pilgrimage to Borobudur Temple and earned 10,000 gold coins all of which he gave to the Financial Division for the construction of roads and other infrastructure. At the same time, the expeditionary army escorted nearly 5,000 prisoners held in battle and returned to Java Dwipa.
There was a small incident on his return from the Seng valley, that the great shaman of the tribe committed suicide at the temple after learning that the tribe had been besieged.
News of the suicide of the great shaman spread quickly among the tribe and caused quite a stir. Seeing the spark of rebellion among the tribal people, Heru Cokro decided to stay in the valley one more day with the aim of calming the tribal people and the affection towards the other tribes around the valley. They held a funeral for a great shaman and their actions greatly raised the hatred of the Seng tribe against Jawa Dwipa.
As expected by Raden Said, after the news that the Seng Tribe had fallen to Java Dwipa, within a day, the surrounding tribes, including two medium-scale tribes and six small-scale tribes, were, quickly sent their emissaries to the great shamans of the Gosari Tribe to be the intermediary between them and Java Dwipa. This is also to express their goodwill towards Jawa Dwipa.
With the fall of the Seng, the Gosari replaced the Seng in an inexplicable manner, and became the chief of his tribe. This caused the tribal leader, Yusuf Anshori, to be very proud, and he admired the decision of the great shaman on that day. Seeing that Yusuf Anshori was a little carried away, the great shaman had no choice but to intervene. The shaman warned him that the only reason the Gosari Tribe became what it is today was simply because of Java Dwipa, the only reason it became, so he should not get carried away and take lightly other tribes around the valley because it can cause these tribes to rebel against Java Dwipa.
Under the reminder of his shaman, Yusuf Anshori managed to wake up from his own imagination. To express their gratitude to Jawa Dwipa, they sent two more pairs of hajj sparrows to show their respect towards Jawa Dwipa. As for Heru Cokro, he was clearly satisfied with the actions of Joseph Anshori. The Hajj was sent to the Military Intelligence Division.
He also told Ghozi to try his best to learn the secret techniques of the Gosari Tribe on how to breed and multiply the number of hajj sparrows. This is because these little things are very useful, as they can help in gathering information, conveying the messages and values of these little creatures can easily be condensed into a battalion if used correctly.
The hands of these 600 men were covered in the blood of the Javanese soldier Dwipa. As punishment, Heru Cokro had sent them to the mining site to mine, so as to dispel their animosity. He specifically ordered the person in charge of the mining excavation site to only feed them three times a day, this was the minimum amount so that they would not starve. However, their most basic human rights are maintained because they should not be punished by the warden for no reason or they will be severely punished.
Although Raden Said also suggested choosing some of them and recruiting them into infantry units or territory defense units, Heru Cokro disapproved of his idea and rejected it. Since there were new tribes leaning towards the Java Dwipa, he did not have to worry about no high-quality candidates to be recruited into the ranks of the army. There were still some unstable elements in recruiting hunting members.
The remaining 4000 people were arranged and sent to the Salt Gudang to begin the final phase of the construction of the salt factory. After finishing the Gudang Garam affair, it would reach its maximum limit. With the increase of 4000 people, Pantura is pushed into the size of a medium village and is ready to level up after other infrastructure development is completed.
Heru Cokro was also thinking of keeping these 4,000 people in Java Dwipa to reach a population of 10,000 to advance to an advanced village, but this was no easy task. First of all, the political index, economic index, cultural index, and military index for villages must meet the requirement of 45 points each, and Java Dwipa has met this requirement.
The crucial point was to advance to the advanced village, the territory lord had to submit the application to the game system first. After meeting all the requirements, the system would automatically generate a large wave of bandits to encircle the region. Only after successfully defending the territory would the village manage to rise to the next level.
In addition, the application of this game system is limited several times. Failure to defend the territory would lead to cooling for half a month. If a player registers 3 times and fails 3 times, the territory will lose its promotional qualification permanently. Therefore, one should think twice and be fully prepared before submitting an application.
However, Heru Cokro killed his mind to advance Java Dwipa in such a short time. He cleared his mind, as he had never been a person who acted recklessly.
After returning to his territory, Heru Cokro immediately assembled the Construction Division and Transportation Division to hold the construction of stables in the valley. The Construction Division is not only responsible for building and serving the footpath that connects the Gosari Tribe with the Seng Tribe. They were also required to follow the Transportation Division's request to modify some of the previously constructed buildings in the valley. The unnecessary ones had to be destroyed and the fortress lift bridge had to be redesigned and built into one with enhanced defensive capabilities.
Heru Cokro ordered the Buminegoro to make full use of the tribe's labor. All he had to do was give them food, and the people of this tribe would happily work. Heru Cokro believes that once they feel the sweet life here, the other tribes will eventually lower their vigilance and cooperate with Jawa Dwipa sincerely.
