Chapter Eighty-Four: The Takins Are Untamable
Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tain Is Untamable
Originally, it was very stressful to be stared at by Wang Xu's strange heavy eyes.
In addition, Wang Xu's expression and gaze were very subtle at this time, which made Wang Li even more uncomfortable.
Shaking the goosebumps that had arisen inexplicably, Wang Li shrunk his shoulders and hugged his chest and frowned, "What are you looking at?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Xu smiled and waved his hand, "If you don't like him, don't look at him, he is now the key to our ability to sneak into the city in advance." ”
Wang Li snorted coldly, got up indignantly, whistled and called the war horse, "Actually, the best way is to give me a month, I have trained 500 cavalry, plus the Lan Army, to conquer the city." ”
"And then let you slaughter the city?" Wang Xu shook his head with a smile.
"These savages may take us as saviors, do those Yidi of the Baidi Department of the city also approve of it? People don't have to worry about eating and drinking, they don't lack food and clothing, and they don't have the danger of wild beasts. Wang Li rode on his horse and said coldly.
"So I know that I know the other, it is impossible not to lack things, a monarch who has been usurping the throne for less than a hundred years, it is impossible for people's hearts to be stable." Wang Xu smiled and shook his head.
Wang Li frowned slightly, and left to explore the terrain.
Wang Xu smiled, got up and walked towards the stone palace, he gave Qiu He a morning to persuade all the women and children in the secret room, I don't know how it went.
As soon as I walked into the stone palace, I heard the sobbing of women and children inside, as well as the sound of Qiu He's speech.
"What is he talking about?" Wang Xu frowned and asked Tu Tan, who was guarding the door.
"Returning to the Emperor, he is telling the history of Yin Shang, telling these women and children that their true identities are all remnants of Yin Shang, and now you have come to save them and take them home." Tu Tan replied truthfully.
Wang Xu looked at Qiu He, who was dancing on the high platform, and felt a bit like a mentor who made micro-business speeches in later generations.
"It doesn't seem to be very good, why are you crying?" Wang Xu chuckled.
"Frightened, the formation of the Lan Gang Army was undoubtedly based on the fear of these people, and the corpses of their forgotten people." Tu Tan smiled, "But these Yidi women have a characteristic, that is, they don't love their families, as long as they are given a stable life, they can be from the Lin Hu Department today, and they can also be from the Bai Di Department tomorrow." ”
"So they're waiting for a promise?" Wang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"These are not worth worrying about the emperor, if Qiu He can't even solve this, then it might as well be slaughtered with a knife." Tu Tan grinned.
"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice." Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "Go, tell them that there is one sheep for each person, including children." ”
Tu Tan was slightly stunned, "This may not be in line with the regulations, the Lonely Bamboo Country has always had no private property, and it is all uniformly equipped." ”
"When they arrive at Chaoge, they will naturally treat them as precious ewes and send them to the sheepfold in the clan, and soon forget that they should have property." Wang Xu said with a chuckle.
Tu Tan blinked and walked towards Qiu He.
After hearing Tu Tan's relay of Wang Xu's grace, Qiu He's waist straightened instantly, and his voice became a little louder, "You fools!" Don't listen to your good ideas, a group of uninformed things, the grace given to you by the Emperor Yin Shang, one person and one ewe, take it away, move! If you don't want to, stay here and wait to be eaten. ”
After speaking, Qiu He knelt down to Wang Xu's position and made a big salute.
Hearing that they could take away a ewe of their own, these women who had just been pear blossoms and rain instantly became full of smiles, wiped away their tears and followed Qiu He, bowed to the new 'leader', and loudly expressed their gratitude.
Women and children in the wilderness, like cattle and sheep, are important strategic materials and fertility tools, so these women and children have long known their fate, it doesn't matter who is the leader, as long as they can protect them and feed them.
A ewe of their own is undoubtedly a great fortune, how can they not be happy.
The roe deer carriage arranged by Mo Ren has been waiting outside for a long time, and all the women and children of the Lin Hu tribe went to the sheepfold to choose the ewes they wanted, drove the sheep, and happily followed Mo Ren in the direction of Haodu, without any nostalgia for Lin Hu.
Even in the face of the nightmare army that gave them the night before, there was not much fear.
"What a group of people with strong hearts... Man. Wang Xu looked at the huge flow of migrating people and sighed.
"I don't like this group of cunning and ruthless women, if it is a woman from the Lonely Bamboo Country, even if she fights to the last drop of blood, she will not be so lowly." Mo Lian frowned and muttered behind him.
"So the country of Guzhu is a country, and Linhu is just a tribe." Wang Xu smiled and touched Mo Lian's head, "They are not born cunning, it's just that the living environment forces them to become like this, and when they integrate into the Lonely Bamboo Country, they will naturally become women in the Lonely Bamboo Country." ”
"Will it?" Mo Lian frowned, a little puzzled, "I still think they are different from Qingniang." ”
"Yes, these women and children will integrate faster than the young women." Wang Xu chuckled and said, "Are you dissatisfied with the current situation of the Lonely Bamboo Country? ”
"The country of lonely bamboo is the best country!" Mo Lian said with pride on his face: "Because the Lonely Bamboo Country has the best emperor." ”
"Sweet mouth." Wang Xu pinched Mo Lian's nose dotingly, and chuckled, "A satisfying country, no one doesn't want to fit in." ”
Mo Lian touched her nose with a red cheek, and suddenly frowned, "Is Qiu He a man or a woman?" ”
"Men of course." Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, looked at Mo Lian's suspicious eyes, and shook his head with a smile.
It is the natural instinct of all women to be interested in beautiful things, and at the same time it is an instinct to be hostile to beautiful same-sex people.
"Then why does Wang Li keep saying that he is a fox?" Mo Lian frowned and wondered.
"Maybe it's Wang Li's nickname for Qiu He." Wang Xu smiled unconsciously with some ill intentions.
"What is a nickname?" Mo Lian blinked more and more curiously.
"Well, it's a special term for people who are closer to each other and call each other." Wang Xu explained.
Mo Lian blinked, stared at Wang Xu for two seconds, then lowered her eyelids silently, pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"The ink wolf is here." Not caring about Mo Lian's subtle changes, Wang Xu looked at the ink wolf who was driving a takin cart by the Shihe River to cause panic in the migration team.
The moose, a high-quality mount, was recruited and trained by Wang Li to become an iron horse, and the small deer such as the roe deer was not suitable for mounting, and there were no extra horses in the clan at present, so the ink wolf set his sights on the takin.
In the last big hunt, a kind of takin cubs captured more than 500 takin cubs, this stubborn animal never set up a group when faced with a round-up, but rushed into the whole set by itself, and was finally caught.
It is impossible for adult wild takins to be tamed, after all, the smallest are behemoths weighing 800 catties, and they are all made into jerky and blankets because of their hot temperament.
Although the takin cub has inherited a fiery temper, but after all, it is a juvenile, the heaviest is more than two hundred catties, the two warriors can easily control it, plus the chew and traction ring on the quilt, as well as Mo Ren's unique taming skills, these little guys have become very well-behaved in these months, even if they are free-range, they will not attack people, but will rely on the clansmen to eat.
And they don't hold grudges at all, not realizing that these 'two-legged beasts' who smile and feed them every day are their 'father-killers'.
However, takin is still different from the moose, which is a docile and quiet animal, and does not suddenly get excited unless provoked and attacked.
But the takin is different, the takin seems to get excited easily, and the strength is so great that it is like a wild horse off the leash, so it is difficult to control, and even with a saddle, it is very difficult to ride.
So Wang Xu came up with a way to imitate the working mode of sled dogs, tie dozens of takins together, and then drag a large wooden cart, so that under the mutual balance of forces, it can be easily controlled.
But even so, the takin is still very easy to get excited, and suddenly accelerates or suddenly slows down, which makes the ink wolf have a headache all the time.
But he was unwilling to give up these mounts, after all, after seeing the iron horse of the rhy, he, the warrior under the great Sima of the Lonely Bamboo Country, could only ride a short and cute roe deer every day, which was really embarrassing.
Although it is not as tall as a moose, the takin with horse armor is much more ferocious.
The ink wolf and the two riders shook their whips and scolded the little takins who were bent on rushing into the river, but in the end they couldn't control them, and the people fell into the stone river on their backs.
Some of the more than 30 soldiers in the car did not have time to jump out of the car, and they were thrown into the water together and climbed to the shore in embarrassment.
In the distance, the Lan soldiers who harvested the dealers cast curious glances, and Yu Chun laughed loudly by the dock.
The ink wolf asked his subordinates to pull the takin up, walked to Wang Xu's side and saluted, "Let the emperor smile." ”
"Why did you bring so many people?" Wang Xu smiled and waved his hand.
"The emperor patrolled and pointed to this group of foolish guards, and the ministers were really not at ease." The ink wolf glanced at Yu Chun on the other side of the river and smiled.
There are very few men in the country of Guzhu, only more than 600 people, and the newly recruited slaves cannot be regarded as 'clansmen' for the time being.
With more than 600 people, they still gathered the savages of the surrounding primitive tribes, although they have been integrated into the Lonely Bamboo Country, they are still in the low-level soldier stage in terms of physique and communication.
At present, the combat effectiveness of the Lone Bamboo Country is divided into three levels.
The first is undoubtedly the fifty-three Wang family troops led by Wang Li.
The second is the original warrior of the Lone Bamboo Country, the twenty-two warriors surnamed Mo led by the ink wolf, these twenty-two warriors surnamed Mo, these twenty-two people are named after the heavenly and earthly branches, except for the ink wolf, who inherited the name of the previous generation of Sima alone.
Later, Mo Kui included the leaders of the twelve tribes he had gathered into the team, expanding the team to thirty-six people, and gave them the surname Mo, and Wang Xu named them after the twelve zodiac signs.
This is the most primitive way of Mokui to reward surnames to win people's hearts and promote tribal integration, this army is called the 'royal army', which is a regular army inherited from the Shang Dynasty.
The third echelon is the 'Kite Iron Cavalry' selected by Wang Li among the savages during this time, and there are currently a hundred regular soldiers, and the rest are reserve soldiers.
The last to take the ladder was the Lan Jia Army, which had just formed an army.
The thirty-six soldiers surnamed Mo in the 'Royal Army' have long since become the current management class of the Guzhu Kingdom, and they generally follow Mo Kui to manage the affairs of Chaoge.
Now, except for Mo Ren, who is in charge of animal husbandry, Mo Hai, who is in charge of farming and gathering, and Mo Ding, who is in charge of exploring, they are all sent by Mo Kui.
It is equivalent to Mo Kui sending the 'Manchu Dynasty civil and military' over to Wang Xu's guard, I have to say that this behavior is really useful.
Even if Wang Xu knew Mo Kui's purpose, he was still useful.
Looking at the royal army competing with the takin, Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "The takin is untamable, it takes time, this time in the forest Hu department captured four hundred war horses that can be ridden directly, you can go and choose two, learn to ride the horse first, remember not to use the saddle." ”
The ink wolf was stunned, although he was curious why he couldn't use the saddle, but he didn't dare to ask more, and beckoned his subordinates not to compete with the takin and choose a war horse.
"The Great Witch sent all the royal troops, which means that he also thinks that the Emperor's trip is inappropriate, or he should hand it over to me and the ink wolf." Mo Lian frowned and said.
"It's not that he thinks my trip is inappropriate, but he's worried that he has too many people under him." Wang Xu squinted and chuckled.
Mo Lian tilted her head slightly, her little face full of doubts.
Obviously, two days ago, Dawu was still complaining that there were too few people, which delayed the progress of building the city.
