Chapter 5 The Humble Camp I Saw
The soil quality here is really not good, there is a lot of sand and gravel, the nutrition is poor, it is really strange to be able to grow good crops, so many crops are planted in this hills, it is obvious that they have to do what they have to do, there are hardships, I remember that the Ming Dynasty was a military household system, and military households had to cultivate themselves, but this is also the model here.

I asked, "These crops are not growing very well, and the harvest is not much better." ”
"The land here is barren, not suitable for cultivation at all, and at the beginning I couldn't even recover the cost of seeds, but now it's better, it's a drop in the bucket, it's unsustainable, and it's reduced to the point where you need to go into the mountains to hunt." Gao Ling said bitterly.
"There are many dangers in hunting in the mountains, and there are not many wild animals in the mountains, so I am afraid it is not a good way." What I saw in the mountains were all pheasants and hares, which were difficult to hunt, and they were busy for a long time, but the harvest was small.
"Yes, this ambush was when I and a few clan brothers went into the mountains and forests to hunt, who would have thought that the pirates of the Whale Shark Island Country would appear there, if it weren't for the benefactor, my life would have been long gone." Koling Road.
"Whale shark pirates are so rampant, why is the royal court not afraid of extermination, cutting grass and roots, uprooting, such a garrison to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, wasting national resources, financial resources, material resources and manpower in vain." I suggested.
"This is a long way to say," Gao Ling Gao Shen said, "Since the whale shark pirates have been in trouble in this Donghai County, the defenders of Donghai County are powerless to suppress the thieves, and through the Taishou of Donghai County, the royal court has sent additional troops and horses to exterminate it, but I don't know why the whale shark pirates every time they get the news, they can't hold out, and the royal court is in vain, and over time, the royal court has nothing to do, but only issued an edict to order the local poor to move to avoid trouble, however, the migration strategy can only delay the time of being robbed, and the pirates still do not forgive, Hundreds of miles deep into the land of Donghai County to plunder, and the entire Donghai County defenders will be weak soldiers, most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, there are 20,000 defenders, but they are looking at the pirates to come and dare not fight, wait until the pirates loot away, only then do they chase after the horses, but they dare not chase too tightly, they are afraid that the pirates will turn back and strike, they will be unable to resist and lose their lives. ”
"Why didn't the royal court remove the guards and generals here, and appoint capable people to govern Donghai County, strengthen the defense, and completely exterminate the pirates, such a delay and indulgence is afraid that it will further and further fuel their arrogance." I said righteously, remembering the sea disasters of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the invasion of the Japanese devils, and I gritted my teeth and squeaked with hatred.
"The royal court is treacherous, and the villain is willing, how can we and other people who are not from death be allowed to live," Gao Ling sighed, "This is all fate, becoming a king and defeating a villain, and surviving for a long time." ”
"I see that your combat power is above that of the pirates, since you have this combat power, why don't they reuse you, so that you can resist the pirates for a long time, and in the long run, it is not impossible to exterminate the pirates." I said.
"Herein lies the problem." Gao Ling didn't seem to want to say more, and I didn't want to ask too much.
I once had a dream, dreaming that I would go to ancient times to be a soldier, of course, not an ordinary sword soldier, but the kind of general who killed all sides and had infinite strength, and became a feudal official who defended one side through some efforts.
But I didn't expect that I didn't travel to ancient times, but left behind in this world, it's really funny and interesting, why it's funny because I put it to death and live afterlife, and the great disaster will not die There will be a blessing This very common prophecy tempted me, I feel that although I can't go back to the earth, it's nothing, because, I have survived, and I can still integrate into this world, and the boring and repetitive days on the earth are really nothing to be nostalgic about, and it is not beautiful to be able to start a new life in this world!
However, when I looked at the desolate camp, I really didn't know whether I should stay or not.
A watchtower that seems to suddenly appear stands alone in the center of the clearing, and the TV is not all two echoing each other from afar, each other is a horn, and here it becomes a live target for attack, standing on it and looking at a live target, this little soldier is unlucky enough, it is estimated that the money is not enough, and he has this dead man's difference.
The fence of a permanent camp turned out to be a waist-high bar, which was very low-cost, nothing more than a tripod with three large logs together, and there were numbers everywhere in the mountains, just bring a firewood knife and a saw to cut and saw.
About twenty large tents are scattered in the northwest corner of the clearing, and they look so desolate horizontally and vertically, this is the camp of the Huoyue people, and I have some doubts that when the typhoon comes, it will be safe and sound, if the roof is lifted, it will not be killed by the rain.
In this world where slaves were still slaves, weapons were still swords and arrows, and horses were undoubtedly the best partners in battle, but as far as the eye could see, I could see no other creatures except the mighty sergeants fighting in twos and threes, and I was really disappointed again.
Following Gao Ling into the so-called gate of the camp, I felt like a clown, because the sloppy and sloppy sergeant in the camp was looking at me with hatred, as if I had something strange for them to see, and I couldn't help but be a little nervous, because the barracks should have the murderous aura of the barracks had appeared around me.
A few brave and combative sergeants even grabbed the axes and sledgehammers in their hands, why did they do this to me, did they regard me as an enemy or a spy, but I was neither an enemy nor a spy, but a comrade-in-arms.
A sturdy fierce man rushed to Gao Ling's front with a stab, and asked sharply: "Gao Ling, why did you come back alone, my brother and Heishi and them?" ”
The clothes on his chest are rotten, tied together with a wool rope, it looks very awkward, it is worse than me, I haven't changed this dress for more than half a year, I wear it every day, every night.
"They ......," Gao Ling looked frustrated, "on the way back we were chased by a large group of pirates, and they ......"
The fierce man grabbed Gao Ling's collar and said with an extremely excited expression: "What's wrong with them, what about them?" ”
"They...... They can't come back. Gao Ling sighed.
"They are gone, they are dead, they are sacrificed, it is you who hurt them, it is you, you are a sinner, you know the danger, you want to go, why don't you die, but they die, did you leave them and escape?" The strong man was sad, blindly scolding, his emotions began to get out of control, grabbed Gao Ling's collar and pushed it a few times.
Gao Ling didn't know what to say, it was indeed his proposition, his leadership, and such a tragic end.
Some fierce men in the camp have gathered around, most of them are dressed in tatters, I don't know how many times they have been sewn up, but they seem to be small leaders, with extraordinary bearing, eclectic, a tall and thin man: "Baimo, this matter can't be blamed on Gao Ling, Gao Ling just wanted to hunt, I didn't expect to encounter pirates, you listen to him tell me what the situation is." ”
The tall and thin man took Bai Mo's hand away and placed it in the middle, in case of another conflict, it was out of control.
"If he doesn't hunt, won't my beloved brother come back?" Bai Mo asked viciously.
"Gao Ling went out to hunt for the sake of our entire Huoyue people, this can't be blamed on him, the matter has come to this point, only revenge is, not playing tricks in the nest." The tall and thin man said angrily, Bai Mo didn't even listen to him.
Bai Mo couldn't suppress his emotions because of the loss of his own brother, and he couldn't accept such a tragic fact at all, he didn't dare to think that his beloved brother had passed away, how could this be possible.
Bai Mo scolded in disbelief: "Gao Ling, you are dissatisfied with me, you can come to me, you can't take your anger on my brother, he doesn't understand anything." ”
Gao Ling was speechless, as smart and capable as he had planted such a big fight this time.
The tall and thin man said something to one of the people beside him, who withdrew from the crowd and beckoned, and four equally tall and muscular men standing not far from the horse barrier quickly walked over.
The tall and thin man looked serious and said straightforwardly: "Bring weapons, this group of pirates has quietly broken through Wutu Mountain, we have to contact various outposts, otherwise, they are afraid that they will be more than lucky." ”
The four strong men looked at each other one by one, and seemed to understand, and quickly dispersed, and after a while, each of them came out with swords and shields in their hands, still without words, without pause, and left the camp under the leadership of the leader.
