Chapter 22: Foothold and Doubts
Li Ru said that the Flying Fox Valley made Han Long and Zheng Zhong both a little surprised, he really didn't know how Li Ru could say this place.
Flying Fox Valley is indeed an important place, on both sides are steep mountains, not far behind there is a rolling long river, legend has it that this long river called Qinjiang runs through the entire boundless grassland, feeding countless grassland aliens, that is, Dajin is established by this river.
And the land there is also quite fertile, so you don't have to worry about farming or grazing.
But that is the territory of the Dajin Kingdom, although after the Flying Fox Valley is the two Dajin cities of Shangcai City and Qifeng City, but the entire Flying Fox Valley, including the twenty miles outside the Flying Fox Valley, is the place of the Dajin Kingdom.
"Mr. Li Ru, don't talk nonsense, it's not something I can calculate with just three hundred people!" Han Long shook his head directly, he didn't dare to expect that he could rely on three hundred soldiers to build a city in a Dajin country that had suppressed the capital of Fuling for a while.
But Li Ru smiled at Han Long, and instead of answering his doubts, he asked him a question.
"Lord, you are the prince of Fuling Kingdom, you said that if I have a small village of a few hundred people in Fuling Kingdom, will your father care?"
Han Long was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then narrowed his eyes and shook his head lightly, "I'm afraid not!"
"Then lord, if it is a small village of a few hundred people, the highest cultivation level is only the Qi cultivation period, do you say that Sun Peishan Sun City Lord will care about this matter?"
"Huh...."Now Han Long understood, and couldn't help but feel bold for Li Ru's thoughts, "You want to slap their mouths in the face openly!"
Han Long's words were a bit vulgar, but they were very vivid.
Although they all know that Han Long is the seventh prince of Fuling Kingdom, the king!
But they have never played this banner, and he has no group of people like a team accompanying the young master on a trip, so even if they run to the border of the Dajin Kingdom to poke a village, it will be fine.
Therefore, even if they go to that place in the end, they really set up a village there, and then they should show weakness and show weakness, and they should be soft and soft, and in the end, it is estimated that the city lords of Shangcai City and Qifeng City will not do anything to them.
After all, they are not stupid, and there is no point in killing them all, it is better to take good care of them and plunder them from time to time.....
But not to mention giving Han Long time, and whether there is anything about the two of them, that is, not giving Han Long time, with Li Ru next to him, a sinister little old man who smiles all day long, can these two cities still fall?
It's not a blatant slap in their mouth, what is it.
Li Ru was also amused by Han Long's statement, and couldn't help but nodded, "The lord is really slapping their mouths openly when he says it to us!"
Zheng Zhong originally wanted to dissuade him, after all, the prince of a country went to the enemy country to build a city, which was really too nonsense, but now that he heard them, he suddenly didn't know what words he should use to refute them.
"Slaves listen to their masters!" Zheng Zhong is such a person, as long as Han Long agrees to something, he agrees unconditionally, his duty is to carry out what Han Long asked him to do, and his task is to protect Han Long's safety.
"Since it's decided, then after the Huo family brothers come back, I'll wait for a good rest and then go to Feihuyu to build a village!"
With one sentence, Han Long set the tone for the future of his own line.
They have food and armor, they have a certain amount of self-preservation, and most importantly, they do not lack anything, what they lack is population and talent.
And these can't be obtained from Fuling Kingdom, but they can be easily obtained from Dajin Kingdom.
Every year, Daikin would send troops to Fuling to rob the grain and people, the money, the grain and the women, and even the officials and craftsmen who robbed them.
But these people went to live in the country very badly, very badly!
Some officials or craftsmen who are willing to take refuge in the Jin State may be better, and those ordinary people and craftsmen who are unwilling to work for him will not be too miserable to live.
Especially those women who have been exiled to the Kingdom of Jin, it is even more miserable.
On the grassland where the people of Jin live, I don't know how many displaced people, not only the people of Fuling, the boundless grassland is really vast, and countless grassland aliens together form a big Jin country.
And next to this boundless grassland is not only a Yunzhong County, or even just a merge state, the huge boundless grassland is connected to the entire three northern states and twenty-seven counties!
The geographical location of Fuling Country is even more special, not only next to this boundless grassland in the north, there are many foreign races in the Dajin Kingdom, but also in the south next to the remnants of the barren mountains.
Although no too powerful demon beasts will come out, the Shanyue barbarians inside also have nearly a thousand tribes of all sizes, and every time the harvest time of the Fuling Kingdom comes, they will come out of the mountains to plunder.
And that's become a common practice.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many tribal races in this Great Golden Country, and they all looked at each other unpleasantly, I am afraid that let alone the Fuling Kingdom, even those other countries would be unable to block the attack of this behemoth if they combined.
Now coming back to the previous topic, the Dajin Kingdom plundered everywhere, countless people were plundered, and the people of the Fuling Kingdom and even other countries, the vast majority of those people existed as slaves.
They resisted, they struggled, they ran away, in short, countless people needed a stable home, if Han Long could give them this hope, then why did Han Long worry that he had no people?
Those who can survive in this environment are not a body of pain, and which one is not a body of life.
With these people, coupled with a suitable geographical location, if Han Long wants to succeed there, he may not be able to succeed!
But in other words, for so many years, it's not that no one has thought about it, but no one has ever succeeded, mainly because if they were too strong when they went, they would be uprooted as soon as possible.
If they are weak and want to grow slowly, I am afraid there is no way, because their growth rate cannot reach that fast.
Han Long is different, he is reassuring enough now, but the speed of his growth can definitely surprise people.
Soon Huo Jun and the others returned here with people, but what they brought was not good news, but it was not bad news.
"You said those traces are gone?" Han Long looked at Huo Jun who came back, and couldn't believe the news that Huo Jun had just brought back, "You mean that all the traces of life around here have disappeared?"
"To be exact, it should have been cleaned up!"
Huo Jun also nodded with an ugly face, and said in his conscience that it was his eldest brother Huo Du who first discovered this.
His eldest brother Huo Du searched for a long time but did not find the village, so he put forward this hypothesis, whether someone had cleaned up the place.
But Huo Jun didn't believe in this, although people died, burying the dead was not a problem, if they were allowed to burst into the wilderness for a long time, it would easily cause a plague.
But it is normal to bury the corpses, and to clean up all the traces of their lives is simply nonsense.
But slowly, even Huo Jun discovered that the traces of being cleaned up here were too obvious, because it was so clean, so clean that he didn't care about the traces of cleaning.
"Do you know who cleaned it up?" After Han Long asked, he felt that he had asked a stupid question, if the Huo family brothers could see this, then he would be too powerful.
Sure enough, at this time, Huo Jun also shook his head again, expressing that he didn't see anything.
"Hey, that's it, let's investigate this matter slowly!" Han Long shook his head, "This kind of thing is really a little too terrifying, is it possible that there are still some secrets hidden in more than ten villages in this area?"
However, this sentence is also a vain question, so Han Long will not say more.
"We have already decided, the place where we will stand is in Flying Fox Valley!" After Han Long finished speaking, he took the Huo family brothers and walked towards Flying Fox Valley.
The two of them were ordinary bandits before, where did they know the terrain here, where did they know where the Flying Fox Valley was, and they were not like Li Ru, who had traveled a lot of places when they were young.
But the more they walked, the more panicked they became.
"Lord Wang, where are we going?" Huo Jun's mind was still more thoughtful, looking at the grassland that was already somewhat prosperous, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unease.
"Flying Fox Valley!" Han Long said with a nonchalant expression, "It's almost here, not far ahead, the terrain is steep, and there is a big river flowing down from the mountain, the geographical environment is particularly good." ”
Huo Jun nodded slowly, but still asked with some uncertainty, "Lord Wang, are we out of Fuling Kingdom?"
"Uh.... Wherever we are, it's all land!" Han Long didn't answer directly, but said this with a chuckle, and then led everyone to the place where they were in the picture.
"Is this where we want to live in the future?" The grass is everywhere, and it needs to be cleaned up, and the mountains on both sides are steep, surrounded by large rivers, and it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and water on one side, and there is only one way in and out.
But here, it's not the territory of Fuling Kingdom!
"This is it!" Han Long looked at the surrounding terrain, and also took a breath, "Huo Jun went to the mountains to cut wood, and then simply made a small fence outside, not in the Flying Fox Valley, now we are not qualified."
Huo Du, light a fire, burn this place, make a vacant land, and let us gain a foothold!
Zheng Zhong, help Huo Du to clean up here and find a suitable place to build a village. ”
At the same time, he also told Huo Jun that when he went to logging, he must hide most of his materials first and leave some of them, so that he would not feel distressed when he paid them the "protection fee".
