The next day, without waiting for Shi Feng to escort the Goryeo captives to the Star Lord, he met the Star Lord and the Prince on the way.

It turned out that the Tamna people who were sent back yesterday had already reported to him the defeat of the Goryeo people, but the star lord was terrified. On the one hand, this offended the Goryeo court, and on the other hand, I didn't expect the always mild Song people to beat the Goryeo army without saying a word, this force is too powerful, right?

Any ruler is afraid of a powerful force around him that he can't control, and the Star Lord is naturally no exception. So he hadn't been able to fall asleep since he was woken up in the middle of the night, so he had been thinking about what to do with it, and he hadn't been able to figure out a perfect solution until the morning—he had never been in this situation before. But he decided to see if he could save the captured Goryeo, and then he couldn't let the court fall out in this case. So he called the Venerable Master to run to the Song people early in the morning, and only then did he meet him halfway. When the star lord saw a large group of Song people carrying broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, lined up in a neat formation, holding the dejected Goryeo officers and soldiers, he unconsciously shivered.

When Shi Feng saw the star lord, he stepped forward and explained that it was the Goryeo who made the first move, and he was forced to fight with the Goryeo, and now in order not to exacerbate the conflict, he put the Goryeo people back. And he also explained that he had written a letter to the Goryeo court and asked the general to bring it back.

The Star Lord had already understood that he could not afford to provoke either side, and he did not dare to speak much, so he only led the Goryeo people back to his city. Soon, Shi Feng received a report that the son of the Star Lord had followed the Goryeo people to sea.

If you think about it with your ass, you know that the star lord went to ask the Goryeo court for guilt, and the next step is to fight and it is not easy to guess. The rebels were not resigned to fate, and immediately began to prepare for war, distributing weapons, digging trenches around villages and towns to build walls, and waiting for the Goryeo to attack again.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the departure of the Koreans, a fleet of ships returning from the north appeared on the surface of the Tamna Sea. Here, the fleet loaded with fresh water, grain and vegetables, leaving behind iron, sulfur, and bows and arrows purchased from Liaodong. In order to prepare for a possible war in the future, Shi Feng left a large amount of whale oil to be used to set fires. Luo Xiucai wrote the situation of Tamna and the experience of using gunpowder and firecrackers into a secret letter with numbers for the captain to take back.

A large group of Bohai children in fur and snot were chattering about the novelty. Two oxen borrowed from the Bohai tribe dragged their ploughshares across the land that had just been set on fire, and the black, shiny soil was turned up. On the newly reclaimed field, two old farmers from Shandong picked up the soil that had just been turned up and examined it carefully, and it took a long time to put the soil down and smile from ear to ear.

An old farmer, who was already a little hunchbacked, said to Tao Wei with a smile: "Tao Daguan, this soil is really fat, I am afraid that I can have a good harvest without fertilizing for a few years." Such good land is wasted, and no crops are grown, and it is a waste in the hands of these savages. ”

Tao Wei smiled: "Those Bohai people don't know how to farm." Don't you see that they don't even have decent farm tools? I heard that they just get some seeds and sprinkle them on the ground, and they don't take care of them, and they can make money if they can grow a little. ”

Another old man said distressedly, "What a sin." Such a good land, if it is not planted well, it is really a sin. ”

Tao Wei laughed again: "If they can farm, where can you have the opportunity to farm here?" ”

The two old peasants nodded again and again: "That's right." ”

Tao Wei was not as optimistic as them, reminding them: "The climate here in Liaodong is different from that of Jingdong Road, with late thaw and early frost. Even in summer, the nights are cold, and you can't farm according to Jingdong's yellow calendar. So the first year is mainly experimental, and the land should be divided into several plots to be planted at different times, so that the most suitable time for planting can be found. ”

Tao Wei has been with Li Buqi for so long, but he has learned a lot of experimental methods, and he has listened to the two old farmers very convincingly.

An old farmer pointed behind Tao Wei and said, "Look, the head man is here again." ”

Tao Wei looked back and saw that it was Zhou Qing who accompanied Maibuku from a distance, so he turned around to meet him.

In the past, Li Buqi often reminded Tao Wei that the backward nation had a very strong sense of learning, and Tao Wei was very unimpressed at that time, but after getting along with Maibuku for a while, he had to admit that what Li Daguan said was indeed right. The chief of the Bohai people saw that the Song people were camped here, and ran here almost every day, probing his brain every time, just to learn something. He saw that the Song people were tinkering with the land, how could he not come and see what was going on?

Looking at the newly turned soil, Maibuku smacked his lips and picked up a piece of soil in front of him: "Oh, you farm like this?" ”

Seeing Maibuku's serious appearance, Tao Wei remembered that Li Buqi had repeatedly told him that when he arrived in Liaodong, he should use the advanced culture and technology of the Central Plains to draw those small tribes into his camp, so that they could develop as soon as possible. Now he sees Mabuku as a target for his experiments.

His local dialect was so bad that he had to say to Mabuku in the local dialect plus Chinese and the analogy: "They say the land is fertile. We will try to grow food. If it succeeds, in the future, we and you will not have to buy food from others. ”

Maibuku now knew a few words of Chinese, understood what Tao Wei meant, and asked in surprise: "We don't have to buy grain either?" ”

"yes. We can teach you how to grow food. With so much wasteland here, there must be a lot of food to be produced. ”

Maibuku understood, grinned to the base of his ear, and gave Tao Wei a big bear hug: "Thank you, generous man. You must be friends of our tribe from heaven. I think we should be brothers......"

Tao Wei looked at Zhou Qing with a confused face - what did you say, could it be that the people here are so casual in worship?

Zhou Qing squeezed his eyes at him, and Tao Wei had no choice but to say, "Oh, good." It is an honor for me to be brothers with the head of Maibuku. ”

So the three of them once again became brothers with different surnames.

Li Buqi learned that it was the end of May when the Goryeo people went to Tamna Island, and it was still Mizhou who sent someone to quickly deliver Luo Xiucai's secret letter.

The secret letter was translated by Zhang Yingniang. Because of the involvement of her relatives, Zhang Yingniang immediately became anxious and sent someone to invite Li Buqi, who was at work, to come back and show him the secret letter.

Seeing that Li Buqi hurriedly read the letter, Zhang Yingniang asked eagerly: "Official, Brother Luo, can they hold Tamluo?" ”

Who would dare to pack a ticket for war? Li Buqi could only say: "Yingniang, there are already 4,000 of our people on the island, and most of them are young and strong, and they can make up a thousand capable soldiers. Your officials have done everything they can to arm them to the teeth. Tamna is 200 miles away from the coast of Goryeo, and the island is not rich in products, so the Goryeo people fought across the sea, and it was the limit to invest a few thousand people at a time. The combat effectiveness of the Goryeo army is very poor, and our men have many secret weapons, as long as they do not make serious mistakes, Tamna will definitely be able to hold it. ”

Zhang Yingniang said: "There are still fewer people in Tamna. ”

Li Buqi said: "Yingniang." There were too many people going to that place at one time, but they didn't eat or drink. But you don't have to be in a hurry, as by July, when the trade winds were strong, more than 500 men bought from Salmon Island were sent to Tamna, and another thousand people were sent from Mingzhou and Mizhou, most of whom were young and strong. As long as they can hold out until these people go to the island, little Goryeo can only look at the island and sigh. ”

Although Li Buqi said it very surely, Zhang Yingniang was still worried: "There is still a month until July." ”

Li Buqi said: "The lady must have confidence in the Luo leader and the stone leader. Your officials should also hurry up and train their cavalry. When Goryeo suffers a loss in Tamna, maybe he will turn to the Liao State for help, and then the Liao State will make trouble again nine times out of ten, and maybe it will have to fight a good battle. Hehe, when the time comes, it will be up to you to build up your merits. ”
