Liang Shi took Elder Wusi into the room and served tea, and Elder Wusi gradually got used to their tea with a little bitter taste, especially after eating the delicacies of the seafood, coming to such a cup of tea is not only greasy, but also has a long aftertaste.
After a brief polite greeting, Elder Uss finally said what he meant. Fearing that the other party would not understand, he devoted a great deal of space and as simple language as possible to the history of the fall of his tribe, and tried his best to exaggerate the brutality of the Toltecs, and expressed deep sympathy for his compatriots under their rule......
In the final analysis, there is only one purpose, hoping that the powerful Great Song Empire will help it defeat its enemies and maintain world peace!
Liang Shi and the others listened to him patiently for a long time, and the angry expression they should have was the same as the timely applause.
In the end, Liang Shi concluded: "What the elder means, is he thinking that I will help you defeat that Toltec, right?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Elder Uss nodded hurriedly: "Captain Liang is so smart, that's what I mean!" Don't worry, we won't let you work in vain, everything you're looking for is on me! ”
Liang Shi: "Hehe! The elder is so gracious! With your help, we can't ask for it! But this war is a big deal after all, and I can't make a rash decision, and let us think about it, I wonder what the elders think? ”
Elder Uss: "Yes, yes, you think slowly, I'm waiting for you!" ”
Liang Shi gave Qi Zhonghao a look, and did not shy away from Elder Wusi, first translated Elder Wusi's intention to everyone, and then began to discuss on the spot, anyway, he couldn't understand Chinese, so he could only speculate from the expressions of several people.
Liang Shi asked straight to the point: "What do you think?" Shall we lie down in this troubled water? ”
Qi Zhonghao was the first to speak actively: "In my opinion! Let's them, with their equipment level, they are not at the same level as us, it's not difficult to bully them, by the way, let the brothers practice their hands and feet, the big guy has been holding back for more than half a year, and they should be let out to vent their fire! ”
Liang Shi: "Big brother, don't think I don't know what you think, don't talk about your brothers, it must be your own itchy hands!" Although these natives are relatively backward, and their weaponry and training level are far inferior to ours, they are not useless, at least the combat effectiveness of each person exceeds that of our soldiers. If we start a war with them, not to mention whether or not we have violated the will of the Holy Lord, it will be difficult for us to ensure that we will be able to escape with all our bodies. If I let my brother bury his bones here because of this, I personally can't bear it, this is my personal opinion, Yutang, tell me what you think! ”
Bai Yutang: "Captain, the Holy Lord told me to manage military discipline and protect your safety, as long as I don't violate this principle, I will do whatever you say!" ”
He was very disgraceful, and he took himself out directly, Liang Shi had to continue to think about Yang Sien and asked, "Sien, what do you mean?" ”
Yang Sien did not rush to express his position, but took out the banknotes and spread them on the table, beckoning a few people to come forward: "A few people, please see!" According to the map given to us by the Holy Lord, we should now be at the junction of North and South America, that is, the most detailed place, maybe we can see the ocean on the other side when we cross it this time. According to Elder Uss, the natives of this continent seem to be concentrated in this slender and narrow area, and they are all fighting for this place, as for the reason for this is not known for the time being, we will not consider it for the time being. What I want to say is that, according to the previous teachings of the Holy Lord, this American continent is rich in products, fertile land, and vast in area, far exceeding the land of the Central Plains. I think such a good piece of land should belong to our Great Song Dynasty, and it must also belong to our great emperor, what do you think? ”
"Right! Such a nice place has to be ours! Qi Zhonghao stood up and shouted again.
Liang Shi ignored him directly, and then asked, "Sien, do you mean to help them defeat those Toltecs?" ”
"Yes and no!" Yang Sien pretended to be 13.
Liang Shi: "What does this mean?" ”
Yang Sien pursed his mouth: "Stains!" The saint is right, you literati are too old-fashioned, and you don't know how to work around! Let's think about it, how far is this place from our Great Song, how can we have the energy to take care of it now? ”
Liang Shi: "I think so too!" Why don't I know how to work around? ”
Yang Sien: "That being said, we might as well let it become our territory in name first!" As for when we will come to get this land, it depends on the mood of the saint! We, as courtiers, must first pave this road for the Holy One, don't you say? ”
Bai Yutang nodded: "What do you think, let's discuss and discuss, as long as it doesn't violate the principles, I will support you!" ”
Yang Sien took a pen and drew a line in the middle: "It's very simple! We want to help the Wusi tribe, but we can't help to the end, and the benefits we deserve are not less. It's just a basic condition for them to help us find those things, and I also need them to admit in writing that all of North America belongs to my Great Song Dynasty! ”
Liang Shi was surprised: "No! Will they agree to such a large piece of land? ”
"Hehe" Yang Sien smiled evilly: "How do you know if you don't try!" Captain, I believe in you, come on! ”
Liang Shi looked at the remaining two, and saw that they all had dog eyes that saw bones, so he had to sigh: "Okay! I'll give it a try! ”
Elder Wusi saw Liang Shi walking towards him, and took the initiative to greet him: "Captain Liang, are you done talking?" ”
Liang Shi: "Elder, we're done talking, but it's a little difficult for you to do!" As you must know, our Great Song Dynasty is too far away from here to ask our emperor for instructions in a short period of time, nor can we mobilize more reinforcements to come over. So the people that we can mobilize are the people out there that you see. Let's not talk about whether we can beat the Toltecs, even if we can beat them, but our Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it has always been a model of peace-loving, and you can't beat people for no reason, don't you say this is a breach of peace? ”
Elder Uss shook his head: "Captain Liang's words are wrong! How can you be a breach of peace! Those Toltecs are destroying the peace, and you are clearly keeping the peace! As for the Toltecs, you can rest assured that with your mighty army, it is no problem to defeat them. And we, the Chichen Itzas, are not defenseless, we also have tens of thousands of warriors, with your help, we will definitely be able to defeat the Toltecs! ”
Liang Shi exclaimed: "You still have more than 10,000 warriors? How can it be? ”
Elder Uss was satisfied with his reaction: "Hehe, Captain Liang doesn't know, our Uss tribe is the divine blessing tribe of the Maya, and is responsible for guarding the Mayan inheritance. Originally, there were thirteen such tribes, but now there are only seven left, and our Uss tribe is the smallest one left. We have already discussed before, as long as we can ask your troops to help, we will gather all the warriors, fight back to the city of Kirigua, drive out the brutal Toltecs, and hope that Captain Liang will be completed! ”
Liang Shi pretended to be embarrassed: "Elder, although we are very sympathetic to your plight, we also want to help you drive away the invaders. But for you, we are outsiders after all, and we are rashly involved in your war, so it is unreasonable! Our Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and the teacher is famous, so I have to ask the elders for forgiveness! ”
Elder Uss frowned, with a slight pleading, "Captain Liang, can't you just be flexible?" ”
Liang Shi: "This ...... This is not to say that there is no workaround, but I am afraid that the elders will not agree, and it will hurt our feelings if we say it! Don't say it! ”
"Say, speak! Captain Liang, just say it! As long as we can do it, we are not ambiguous! Elder Uss said hurriedly.
Liang Shi: "Actually, it's very simple, don't you also say it, you don't like the north, and there is no one living there, so you can transfer the land in the north to us in name, so that we can help our neighbors expel the invaders, and no one has anything to say, right?" And you don't have anything to lose, anyway, you don't want the land in the north, we can't really want these lands so far away, we just need to get by in righteousness, what do the elders think of my idea? ”
At this time, the centers of Native American settlements were concentrated in the narrow strip of land bordering North and South America, perhaps because of the large number of ferocious beasts in the depths of North and South America, coupled with the sparse population. In addition, these natives are not familiar with the overall situation of the continent they are in, and in their opinion, their own central area is the best, just like everyone yearns for the Central Plains. And they don't know how much territory they have in the north, so it doesn't matter.
Therefore, when Elder Wusi heard this, he also thought about it carefully, and felt that he didn't need to pay more than giving the other party a nominal promise, and he was still grateful in his heart that these Song people were really as they advertised - a civilized country, a country of etiquette!
After the two parties reached an agreement, in order to give them more confidence, Liang Shi specially invited all the elders of the Qiqin Itza Divine Blessing Tribe to come and observe their small military exercises.
When they saw the arrows waving in the air, they all smiled with satisfaction, and Liang Shi and the others also gained the right to speak in the revenge army.
After a short period of preparation, Liang Shi and other major leaders led nearly a thousand marines, gathered the indigenous legions of the seven Divine Blessing Tribes, and drove to the southeast with great fanfare......
