Chapter 131: A New Chapter, Chizhou
Half an hour later, Chen Mu had already taken control of the capital of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. The "new king" and the rebel generals were also caught.
Chen Mu summoned the young man named Riabadon, praised him, and then appointed him as the new reserve captain.
Then let the little king and the instructor pacify the people.
This time, the people of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom have seen the power of the cannon, and they should not rebel again.
Due to the rapid development of Great Xia's national strength, Chen Mu ignored this. It seems that when the subject countries worship in the future, they can have a military parade to show off the muscles of Great Xia and make them dare not move.
A few days later, Chen Mu led his army back to Great Xia.
Soon after, the rubber of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom also arrived, and it was all native rubber sheets, which were white. The tires are also white.
Chen Mu thought that the black tires in his previous life should have additives, so he ordered the Institute of Engineering to study in this direction.
Moreover, now there are only solid tires, and the elasticity is not very good, so it is necessary to study the technology of pneumatic tires.
That's all for later, but now this solid tire is also useful to increase the coefficient of friction, reduce noise, and reduce vibration.
Chen Mu arranged for state-owned units to start producing solid tires, and then sold them to the private sector in the form of tire fitting services.
Later, when you have pneumatic tires, you can think about bicycles and tricycles.
In a blink of an eye, the New Year came, and after Chen Mu finished the New Year, he couldn't be idle again. He came to the palace and explained his next plan to Chen Xingtian.
Chen Xingtian asked in surprise, "In the south of the Isis Kingdom, there is still a large area of land?" And it's the size of three kingdoms of Is! ”
The land of the Isi Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is already about the same size as that of Great Xia, and the Chizhou mentioned by Chen Mu is as big as the three Isi Kingdoms.
In other words, it's about the same age as the three Great Summers!
Chen Mu nodded, "Yes, but there is very little land suitable for cultivation there, and most of the areas are grasslands and deserts. However, there are many rare minerals there, which are still worth exploiting. ”
Chen Xingtian didn't ask Chen Mu how he knew, anyway, he couldn't understand the explanation.
"Okay, you should be more careful, go early and return early, bring more people and horses, bring more grain and grass, and bring more ......"
Chen Xingtian is like an ordinary father telling a child to go out, chattering endlessly.
Chen Mu smiled, "Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing." ”
This time, Chen Mu only brought fifty guards and one thousand invincible flying soldiers, and only brought muskets and no cannons.
On the one hand, it is to travel lightly and speed up, and on the other hand, it is also because Chen Mu knows that Chizhou must be a primitive society, and there is no need to prepare too many troops.
Chen Mu chose to bring more supplies, one hundred and six military vehicles, and four hundred vehicles for supplies.
In addition to the usual items such as grain, dried meat, and dehydrated vegetables, Chen Mu considered that the nights in Chizhou could be very cold, so he also brought a down jacket and a cotton tent with him.
It can be said that there is no need to worry about food and clothing.
After everything was ready, Chen Mu led his troops to Persia, Xiqiang, and Is, and then passed through the narrow passage between the two continents and came to the Chizhou continent.
Later, when navigation technology developed, it was possible to consider digging a canal here to communicate the sea on both sides, but now it is obviously not necessary.
The northern part of the Chizhou Continent is full of deserts and high mountains, and Chen Mu led a large army to draw maps as he went.
He had drawn a large frame, a triangle wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Then add information such as mountains and rivers.
As they walked, the army entered the mountains.
There are trees on the mountains here, indicating that there is a water source nearby, which must be marked on the map, and it is also a resource needed by the army.
The convoy searched the mountains for a road, discerning the nearby trees and soil, and after a while, they came to a narrow area through which the electric tracked vehicles could only pass one by one.
That's when the unexpected happened.
This section of the mountain suddenly landslided, and the electric crawler that Chen Mu was riding fell down the sliding soil and rocks.
The nearby soldiers stood up with their hairs.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No!"
"Help!"
And as he spoke, someone was going down from here.
Zhang Zhong hurriedly stopped, "No! ”
"It's dangerous to go down from here!"
The soldiers shouted, "But we are going to save His Highness the Prince!" ”
Zhang Zhong: "This will make the landslide again!" If the car and people get out of control, they may also hit His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
The crowd fell silent.
Zhang Zhong said again: "Now divide into two teams, drive away from this position carefully, and then split up to look for it." ”
"If there is a major discovery, a signal flare will be fired."
The soldiers were ordered to split up to look for them, and at this time, Chen Mu had already knocked down countless trees and slid to the ground.
Chen Mu coughed violently a few times, then smoothed his breath and looked around. The trees here are so tall that they block the view and you can't see what the mountain road is looking like.
"Li Ke. Li Ke? ”
Chen Mu turned to look at the driver, but found that the driver was silent. He hurriedly stepped forward to check and reached out to touch the carotid artery. Then he shook his head and stood up.
Li Ke was already hopeless, so Chen Mu could only pick up the things in the car and look for a way back.
Chen Mu was injured internally, so he unsheathed the sword and used it as a crutch, walking along the mountain step by step. He looked as he walked, but he didn't pay attention to his feet.
As he walked, Chen Mu suddenly felt that his feet and necks were trapped, and then the rope was tightened and Chen Mu was hoisted.
There are traps here!
Chen Mu hurriedly bent his waist, pulled out his long sword and cut the rope.
At this time, I heard a burst of human voices around me, whining and screaming and rushing towards this direction. Chen Mu held a long sword in his hand, leaning against the mountain, keeping his vigilance.
A wild man dressed in animal skin and holding a spear came out of the bushes, waving his spear at Chen Mu with a strange scream.
It is said that it is a spear, but in fact it is just a sharp stone tied to the branch, and it has no power.
However, immediately after, the second and third quickly jumped out of dozens of people, screaming and confronting Chen Mu.
Chen Mu let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his internal injuries were not yet healed, and it was not a good strategy to fight the enemy.
He put away his sword and hung it back on his waist to show that there was no hostility. Then he gestured with his hand to signal that he had fallen from above.
The few savages in front looked at each other, called a few more times, and then stopped talking and looked at Chen Mu quietly.
Chen Mu was thinking about what to do, when he suddenly noticed that someone had moved behind the wild man team, and they separated a road and let one person in.
As soon as he saw this person, Chen Mu was stunned.
This person's dress is clearly a Westerner!
Although it is said that the clothes on his body are in tatters, it can still be seen that they are the clothes of the western country.
