Chapter 30: The First Encounter with the Natives
"It's delicious." Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Chumo held a big coconut and poured coconut water on their heads, and Xu Yang was dumbfounded.
Just now, these two guys jumped up the tree like monkeys, but they scared themselves.
"Big brother, how do you know that there is so much water in this, and it is so sweet, it quenches your thirst." Wei Chi grinned and grinned.
"Eh" Xu Yang is also full of black lines "This plant is called coconut tree, the fruit is coconut, and it contains edible thick fleshy large nuts. When the fruit is fresh, it has a clear liquid called coconut water. This kind of thing was mentioned in my ancient books of Guigu, and I also saw it by chance. β
"Oh?" When Cheng Chumo heard that there was still flesh in it, he immediately became excited, directly took out his sword, put the coconut on the ground, and split it with a sword, only to see that a huge coconut was split in half, revealing snow-white coconut flesh, which looked tempting.
"Slip." With an obvious sound of snorting, Cheng Chumo pulled down a large piece of coconut meat with his sword and stuffed it directly into his mouth, the chewy coconut meat combined with the coolness and sweetness of the coconut water made him eat with a full face of intoxication.
Yu Chi Baolin saw that his brothers were eating so hard, and he was not to be left behind, so he hurriedly pulled out his sword, and when he went down with a sword, his coconut also died tragically under the sword, and he directly took out a piece of coconut meat and stuffed it into his mouth, Yu Chi's expression was also like a climax, which made Xu Yang's appetite move.
A coconut was obviously not enough to eat, the two quickly cleaned the coconut, Yu Chi Baolin wiped his mouth, rolled up his sleeves, and once again performed his tree-climbing stunt.
I saw that he climbed a coconut tree several meters high after two or three strokes, took out the sword on his waist, and cut it vigorously with the sword for a while before cutting a coconut vine, and a Nuoda coconut fell.
Xu Yang shouted under the tree, "Cut one for me too." β
When Niu Jinda was still maintaining order in the village, he saw three guys holding a round ball in their arms, with a reed pipe stuck in it, and they kept sucking.
"What is this?" Niu Jinda was a little stunned.
"Hurry up, give Uncle Niu one, this kind of cool and heat-relieving thing can be described as a godsend." Cheng Chumo hurriedly said to the subordinates on the side.
A small servant next to him hurriedly took out a small dagger, found the true eye of a coconut, put a reed pipe into it, and presented it to Niu Jinda with respectful hands.
Niu Jinda has a good look, but also sucked it with his mouth, and a stream of cool and sweet water juice soaked into his mouth, full of fragrance, and the aftertaste is endless.
"Oh? Where did you get this stuff from? Niu Jinda is also full of curiosity.
"Hehe" Cheng Chumo finally had a place to show off, and pointed to a few tall coconut trees in the distance, "Uncle Niu, it's the fruit of that kind of tree." β
Niu Jinda took a few more sips, nodded and said: "It's really good, if this thing is presented to His Majesty, it is also a rare thing to relieve the heat in summer, pass on my order, collect the seeds of this tree, and return to Chang'an to plant in the future." β
Xu Yang was speechless again, and hurriedly interrupted: "Uncle Niu, oranges born in the south are oranges, and oranges are oranges born in the north, and this thing can only be planted in this tropical environment, and if you bring it back to Chang'an, it will bear fruit at all." β
Niu Jinda was very surprised, and then said very worriedly: "Then according to this, won't the high-yield crops you said be the same, and they can't be planted when they are brought back to Chang'an?" β
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment by Niu Jinda's divergent thinking, and then he was relieved: "Uncle Niu don't worry, this master once made it clear that those high-yield crops can definitely be planted in Datang." β
Although Xu Yang looks a bit hip-hop, not like the legendary Guiguzi, but the magic of his Guigu lineage has indeed been verified by all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, there is no doubt about this, especially his supernatural ancestors, who are even more admirable, so Niu Jinda is convinced of Xu Yang's words about the ancestors
Cheng Suilu cautiously followed behind his brother, and the village was now full of soldiers wearing bright armor, a spectacle that Cheng Shulu, who was only nine years old, had never seen before.
"Brother, are these all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?" Cheng Shulu asked in a low voice, pulling the hem of his brother's clothes.
"Yes, Luzi, these soldiers are our protectors, because we are all Tang people now."
"Did they kill all the natives?"
"Yes, I don't know if these sergeants will kill all the natives, I heard an officer say that the Tang Dynasty is in great need of slaves now, and they plan to catch a few boatloads of slaves to go back to work."
"Wow, that's not great, if we are left on this island, then the food we grow will be our own, and we will never go hungry again." Cheng Shulu said innocently.
"Hey, hey." Cheng Shuofa touched his brother's hair, and looked at the highest mountain in the distance, which was Mount Prog, and under that mountain was where the Tagalu and Iroku people lived
Zhao Mengjun is very excited, he now has a strong expectation for the voyage, the first time he landed on the island, he was promoted by the main general Niu Jinda from the captain to the Huaihua general because of his good command.
Entering the village and killing the invaders was also because of the bravery of his school team, so General Xu Yang gave a special reward of the 'High Quality Medal', which only the most heroic subordinates could receive.
Today is the day when the army has swept through the Turen villages, and the soldiers have been successfully assembled, and in order to protect the Tang people on the island, every enemy will have to pay the price of their bullying of the Tang people with blood.
Luzon is huge, but most of the land is untouched and is a thorny rainforest, with only a few human settlements having roads.
The army followed the only road leading to Ploger Mountain, Niu Jinda held a meeting yesterday, because the equipment of the natives was too backward, and this attack was not intended to be a surprise sneak attack, and the expeditionary navy of the Tang Dynasty was going to formally face to face.
Xu Yang followed the army, in fact, he didn't want to go, after all, he was a modern person, and he was very afraid of death, but Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin, Li Chongyi, and Li Dejian's eyes were shining in anticipation, Xu Yang checked his inner armor again, all of which were the latest alloy steel armor in the research room, and the solid Cheng dΓΉ almost five stone bows and arrows could not be shot through at close range, and it was finally a life-saving equipment for Xu Yang.
In fact, Xu Yang is still far from the front line, Cheng Chumo and a few people have already stepped forward, Niu Jinda has no opinion, yesterday when the natives in the village were cleared, the other party's combat effectiveness was not even as good as the auxiliary soldiers, after killing dozens of natives, the rest would kowtow and beg, all of them were tied back and sold as slaves, for this kind of natives who had bullied the Tang people, Niu Jinda did not treat them as human beings at all.
The army marched quickly, and there was a trace of expectation on everyone's face, surrendering without killing, all of them were brought back to Datang as slaves, these are all military merits, and no one who is a soldier will think that he has many military achievements.
In front of you can vaguely see many backward villages, are some thatched houses, I saw that there are also a lot of people standing here, divided into two waves, one wave headed by an old man, the other wave is headed by a middle-aged man, the crowd is black and pressing, it is estimated that there are thousands of people.
I saw the middle-aged man standing on a high place, holding a stone spear in his hand, shouting something.
Everyone was actually not far away, and Cheng Chumo asked Cheng Shufa on the side with disdain: "What did that guy say?" β
Cheng Shuo replied very respectfully: "If you return to the general, that person is the leader of the Tagalu people, and he is calling on everyone to resist and avenge his dead brother." β
"Oh?" A cruel sneer appeared at the corner of Cheng Chumo's mouth, only to see him take out a bow and arrow from behind his back, raise the bow and arrow, put the feather arrow on it, aim it from a distance, charge his strength, and fly out with an arrow!
"Poof!" I saw that the middle-aged man standing on the high ground in the distance was suddenly hit by an arrow in the chest and fell off the high platform, obviously unable to survive.
The dozens of fighters in the audience who originally supported this man immediately rushed up with enthusiasm, brandishing their spears.
Cheng Chumo said coldly: "Release the arrow!" β
I saw dozens of sharp arrows flying out like the wind, instantly shooting the dozens of natives who rushed up into a sieve, and the death was extremely miserable.
Seeing this scene, there was a commotion among the natives, and then the old man walked out of the crowd, and Cheng Chumo also walked out on horseback.
The old man stepped forward and knelt down and said a lot, Cheng Chu silently asked Cheng Shuofa next to him: "What did this old man say?" β
Cheng Shuo replied excitedly: "Back to the general's words, this old man said that they are willing to surrender." β
"I'll rub, this is surrender, the master hasn't tried the power of the grenade yet, cut "RS."
