Chapter 55: Mountain Infantry
"Oh. So that's what happened. Zhao Ji's fingers kept tapping on the horse's back, thinking about something, and then ordered: "Let Mu Kede come over." ”
When Mu Kede heard that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was going to recruit them, he hesitated again, thinking that Xiao Yiyuan had slaughtered the Dadu Kingdom, he was terrified. But fate is already in someone else's hands, and in order to live, what can be done but humble supplication?
Mu Kede knelt on the ground, quickly climbed in front of Zhao Ji's horse step by step, and kept kowtowing. This made Zhao Ji feel very good. After being an emperor for so long, what makes him most happy is that his opponent surrenders at his feet.
"The Great Song Dynasty is unchangeable, and it is impossible to return the hunting ground to you. However, without a hunting ground, I can keep you alive, even better. Zhao Ji put on the emperor's stand and said majestically. Zhao Tong on the side hurriedly acted as a translator.
"Xiaomin thanked His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty for his grace, but without hunting grounds, we have no food and no clothes. The Great Song Dynasty has a vast territory and rich products, where is our little hunting ground? Your people are starving and cold, and these of my people have not had a full meal for more than a year, so please be gracious to your people, Your Majesty the Emperor. Mu Kede kowtowed desperately, and said with a handful of snot and tears.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile, he couldn't imagine that the Great Song Dynasty developed Liuqiu and made the local people of Liuqiu live so miserably, he nodded and said: "Seeing that the clansmen behind you seem to be hungry, so let's do it, I need more soldiers to fight the world, so these people of yours will stay and be soldiers for me, I won't starve them." The salary for me as a soldier is very generous, and if your tribe's food and clothing are insufficient in the future, you can go to Keelung City to buy it. ”
Zhao Ji intends to build a mountain infantry regiment. The climate of Liuqiu is very similar to that of Southeast Asia, and hunters who live in the jungle all year round or in the rainforest are naturally the best soldiers. They live in the mountains all year round, whether it is over the mountains or in the mountains and forests to survive has unique means.
If Liuqiu encounters the contradiction between the developers and the natives, then in the future, when the Maritime Silk Road is opened up and the development of Mayi continues to be developed in the south, such a thing will definitely be encountered. At that time, what was needed was an iron army that could fight in the mountains and forests all year round.
After listening to Zhao Ji's words, Mu Kede was startled, they did not bully other races, if this thousand good fighting clansmen were taken away, they were very likely to be exterminated by other clans, so they kept kowtowing and said: "This, this." If these people of mine remain, what shall it be good for the other tribes to attack my people? I beg His Majesty the Emperor to give my people a way to live. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, since you are my people, the other tribes are also my people. I now appoint you as the commander of the mountain corps, and Zhao Tong as the military advisor. The two of you will recruit at least 30,000 soldiers from all the tribes, and destroy any people who do not listen to their commands. Of course, I will divide the territory for you. My people can only obey my command, and no personal fighting is allowed. Zhao Ji said indifferently.
Zhao Ji's word "extermination" made Mu Kede almost fall into hell, and he saw the horror of the emperor with his own eyes. However, the thought of being able to serve as a commander for the emperor made him excited. It's just that the emperor's requirements are too high, 30,000 people, so wouldn't all their clansmen who can fight be soldiers for the emperor? Fortunately, it's only 30,000, and if it were a little more, it wouldn't be possible.
"Thank you, Holy Heaven." Zhao Tong hurriedly knelt on the ground. Seeing that Zhao Tong was grateful, Mu Kede also hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
"Well, that's good. Gou Zhizhou, those native soldiers will be handed over to you for arrangement. Zhao Ji arranged, was silent for a while, and then continued: "Your tribe has iron mines? Very good, I'm going to check it out. ”
"Yes." Gou Hongshe arched his hand and said, seeing that Zhao Ji was going to go to the Turen tribe in person, he hurriedly advised: "The Turen tribe is too dangerous, and there are many poisons of all kinds, what if you get hit by a miasma?" The Holy One should appoint someone else. ”
"Don't be afraid, isn't there a Pang Divine Doctor?" Zhao Ji pointed to an iron arm guard soldier and said.
Doctor Pang is Pang Anshi, who was the leader of the medical battalion during the expedition to Jiaozhi, and is now transferred to the Iron Arm Guard as a general.
"Xiaomin will definitely protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor." Mukod hurriedly pledged his allegiance.
"Mu Kede, I will give you the surname Han now, and I will ask for Zhao De. You and Zhao Tong lead the way. I'm going to your tribe and see the iron mine. If it is true, there will be a great reward. Zhao Ji commanded.
Zhao Ji looked at the mountains and forests not far away, the mountains were not very high, but the trees were too dense, especially those low depressions, where the grass and trees grew flourishing, and there was no place to walk at all, unless he eradicated all the grass and trees. If you want to go to the Atayal tribe, you can only go to the slope with a slightly loose tree. In such a place, it is indeed very difficult for a large army to enter and suppress it.
Zhao Ji dismounted and followed Zhao De into the mountain with more than a dozen iron guards. Zhao De and Zhao Tong led more than a dozen clansmen to open the way in front.
"I didn't expect the saint to be so powerful, as soon as the saint came, the barbarians automatically surrendered, and now we have a lot of things missing." Gou Hongshe watched Zhao Ji enter the mountain and joked with Bai Bolang.
"Yes. I've been made big by the barbarians. There is harassment everywhere. People are reporting everywhere. After a few more reports, it is estimated that the inspector will have to report and remove me. Bai Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hippie smile.
After walking for half an hour, Zhao Ji and the others came to a mountain stream. The Atayal people who led the way in front said a few words to Zhao De, Zhao De nodded, and turned to Zhao Xu: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, next, you have to be careful." It's easy for me Atayal people to cross this mountain stream, but I don't know if you can get by. Why don't you build a rattan bridge first? ”
"How long does it take to build a rattan bridge?" After listening to Zhao Tong's translation, Zhao Ji hurriedly asked.
"Half a day's look. If you build a rattan bridge, you probably won't be able to return to the tribe tonight. Zhao De explained.
Zhao Ji got up and looked at the mountain stream, it was not very wide, but it was bottomless, and it was impossible to survive if it fell. There are many towering trees growing on both sides of the mountain stream, and the branches of the large trees on both sides intersect, and the rattan climbs all over the big trees, hanging upside down, covering the mountain stream. It is likely that the natives climbed the rattan to get there.
"You can bring it in front, and I will naturally have a way to get there." Zhao Ji waved his hand and said.
Soon, the natives, one by one, fell upside down and climbed through the crossed branches leaning against the rattan.
Zhao Ji stared with his eyes, those natives were light and could go over. But both he and the Iron Arm Guard had armor on them, and the weight was too great for them to pass.
"King Ming, is there any good way to get there?" Zhao Ji couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he asked Liu Qidao.
"The last general can go alone." Liu Qi replied helplessly.
"There's just no way? Take my sunset bow. Zhao Ji commanded.
Li Xiang'an hurriedly handed over the sunset bow, and Zhao Ji took the rope from the iron arm guard and fixed it at the end of the arrow. After fixing it, Zhao Ji stepped on the sunset bow and shot at the big tree on the opposite bank, and the arrow feathers actually penetrated the thick branches. Zhao Ji fixed the rope on the branch here. Then, he pulled out the Qinglong knife, held the back of the knife, pressed the rope, and kicked his foot hard, and slid smoothly.
The natives were dumbfounded, and the soldiers of the Iron Arm were equally surprised, and they crossed the mountain stream one after another. Only Liu Qi didn't move, only to see him take a deep breath, open his arms, and actually fly. Liu Qi slowly swung his arms and flew over the mountain stream. Everyone's mouths were wide open, and their eyes were about to fall. This is so unbelievable that it simply violates the laws of nature. Those natives, one by one, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, as if they had seen a fairy.
"Aoki, how is it compared to you?" Zhao Ji turned his head and asked Shaolin monk Aoki.
"King Ming's volley flight has been practiced to the highest level. Shaolin seventy-two stunts, the end will be half, the main is the golden bell jar, and the body is almost a fire throat. Aoki said calmly.
"That's pretty good, too." Zhao Ji said with a little envy. Originally, Zhao Ji also wanted to learn, but later learned that practicing such advanced martial arts has many restrictions, and not everyone can practice it.
When Liu Qi also came, the team set off again and advanced towards the Atayal tribe. The natives of the Atayal tribe looked at Zhao Ji at this time, and their eyes were completely different from Liu Qi. In their eyes, Liu Qi is a god, and Zhao Ji is still the emperor of gods.
The next mountain road is not too steep, but this so-called mountain road does make Zhao Ji and others suffer a little, and the weeds along the road are more than one high. The Atayal natives in front of them waved their javelins and hit the grass on both sides while walking, and they came to frighten the initial set hiding in the grass, and the huge dead trees on both sides stretched their branches, and if they were not careful, they would cross the bodies of Zhao Ji and others, and walked straight for half an hour, the steeper the mountain road became, and the road that originally only needed to be walked by feet gradually had to be replaced by limbs. Although Zhao Ji and the others were fully equipped and full of martial arts, they were still disgraced. Only Liu Qi was very relaxed because of his light work.
Those Atayal natives walked very fast, as if they were walking on flat ground, and they left Zhao Ji and the others behind in a moment, and they had to stop many times, waiting for Zhao Ji and others to catch up. The Iron Arm Guard soldiers were very unconvinced at first, but later they couldn't get through it, and they would accept the help of the Atayal natives, and they were willing to let the Ayal natives take a hand when they encountered some steep places.
walked like this for nearly two hours in a row, except for Liu Qi and Aoki, everyone else was tired, and they couldn't wait to take off their armor. But there are advantages to having a battle armor, at least it won't be like those natives, ragged. Zhao Ji stopped, gasped, and spoke: "Rest, rest." No more. ”
With Zhao Ji's order, everyone fell to the ground. Li Xiang'an brought a smooth stone to help Zhao Ji rest, and then he also rested on the side. After that, several iron arm guards took water bags and dry food from their waists and sent them to Zhao Ji. Originally, these were all must-bring foods, such as fried rice and dried meat.
Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "You can eat by yourself, I'm not hungry, just drink some water." ”
The rest of the Iron Arm Guards were obviously hungry, and they each enjoyed the dry food they brought, and the Atayal natives on the side saw that the Iron Arm Guards were eating with relish, and they all came up one after another. The Iron Arm Guards were not unkind, and they shared some of the food in their hands. They get along well and get along.
After resting for a while, the group set off again.
"Holy Lord, the last general looks at the terrain here very interestingly, in fact, we have taken a lot of detours." Liu Qi approached Zhao Ji and said.
