Chapter 272: New World Conquest Plan
Zhou Deming and Yan Xiangdong glanced at each other, bypassed the trap, and stopped at the back of the trap, and when the bison saw that the two of them were not running, his eyes suddenly turned a little red!
As soon as the hind hooves exerted their strength, they had already landed firmly on the pit!
As soon as the four hooves of the bison touched the surface of the pit, they heard a boom, and saw the bison fall!
A painful hiss followed.
The two men were overjoyed, and stood by the pit and looked inside, and saw two bloody spears, like great iron nails, nailing the bison to the ground.
Kong Mingde breathed a long sigh of relief, but then his face tightened, but the bison was not dead yet, and was even struggling, seeing that the two spears were actually shaken by the bison and were about to fall.
Kong Mingde was taken aback, hurriedly turned his head to look around, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Yan Xiangdong: "To the east!" Quick, take the spear in your hand, and give this beast another hard blow! ”
Yan Xiangdong, who was in a daze, suddenly became excited, and then his face turned red.
It turned out that he had long forgotten that he still had a spear in his hand, and he didn't pay attention to it when he ran just now, but now he reacted after being reminded by Kong Mingde, fortunately, this spear, he didn't throw it away after running for a long time.
Thinking of this, Yan Xiangdong took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and held the spear in his hand tightly......
It was also the first time he had killed blood, and finally closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stabbed out with a fierce spear!
Poof!
Coincidentally, this spear happened to be inserted into the eye socket of the bison, straight through the brain, and at this point, the bison was considered dead!
"Whew!"
Zhou Mingde and Yan Xiangdong breathed a long sigh of relief, almost in unison, and finally sat down on the ground.
From last night's small piece of dry food, it has been held up to that small piece of dry food at noon today.
was already seriously lacking in physical strength, and along the way, they were frantically fleeing for their lives, and they were too frightened, and at this moment, the pressure suddenly disappeared, but the two of them could no longer hold on.
At the moment, it is difficult to even speak.
Zhou Mingde's tears stayed again, this time not tears of despair, but tears of hope!
Finally, with a large amount of meat, he and his people can finally live, even if the meat can only last for three or four days, but he is already very satisfied at this time.
Even Kong Mingde himself didn't notice that in his mind, the so-called way of the sage, the study of the sage, had begun to gradually become a lake.
……
I don't know how long it took, but the two finally recovered and stood up with each other's arms.
Such a big bison can't be scrapped with the strength of these two people alone.
So, the two of them returned to the place where the tribesmen had been scattered at the beginning, and at this moment all the clansmen involved in the hunt had gathered.
Hearing that the head of the family and Yan Xiangdong had already hunted the bison, everyone immediately cheered, and although more than ten people grinned and their faces were pale, they also grinned and laughed.
These people were all injured when the bison was hit and flew out when they went crazy, or they were trampled by the hooves of the cow.
But fortunately, these people are all skin injuries, and none of them hurt their muscles and bones, and the most serious one is just a broken skin and leaking flesh, which is a miracle.
The people who had gathered to hunt came to the pit and got the huge bison out.
This bison is also capable of resisting, and it can be regarded as dead after being hit by four spears and stabbing in a row.
In addition to the two spears in the pit, the spear that Yan stabbed to the east, and the spear that Kong Mingde relieved the siege of the clansmen at that time.
As for the knife, it was a knife in the pit, and two of the three knives erected in the pit were crushed by the weight of the bison, and only one was pierced into it.
When everyone saw it, they could only sigh that it was just a fluke!
At this time, the sky that had been overcast for many days also came out of the sun.
Suddenly, there was a light between heaven and earth.
It was afternoon, and the sun was in full bloom, but the place where the Kong clan gathered had already resounded with the long-lost sound of singing and laughter.
Fluffy, thick cowhide, hung on the branches, exposed to the sun, this thing, but the best for warmth.
Bison, which weighed one or two thousand pounds, were put on a thick trunk of dead wood and roasted.
The golden fat slowly fell from the steaming huge beef, dripping onto the fire, not stirring up a burst of flames or two.
In the hands of all the Kong clansmen, they were holding steaming chunks of good beef, and the feeling of fullness, warmth, and almost intoxication was something they had never experienced before.
Yan Xiangdong sighed and sat comfortably in a pair of dead branches and leaves, this is the harvest of today's firewood, which is enough for these three hundred people to burn for three or four nights.
At this time, Yan Xiangdong's brain was relaxed, what kind of sage learning, what kind of family and country, what kind of self-doubt, all of them were gone at this time, he suddenly felt that if he could continue like this, it seemed that it would be good.
Just when Yan Xiangdong was full of satisfaction, he found something wrong.
I saw Kong Mingde sitting on the edge of the fire, roasting his hands, and not eating beef, so stunned.
Yan Xiangdong suddenly scratched his head a little, what he was most afraid of now was that this head of the Nankong family would come up with something else, once his mood was abnormal, it would immediately affect the mood of the entire Kong clan.
Thinking of this, Yan Xiangdong could only sigh secretly, slowly walked to Kong Mingde and sat down, and asked with a smile on his face, "Mr. Mingde, what are you thinking?" ”
Kong Mingde sighed: "I'm thinking about what the Kong clan people should do in the future, can they really only make a living by fishing and hunting from now on?" ”
"This ...... What is the difference between this and those barbarians? I'm not reconciled! ”
Yan Xiangdong was silent......
Yes, unwillingly, of course he doesn't want to be a barbarian, but what to do?
After talking for a while, Kong Mingde set his eyes on Yan Xiangdong again.
Yan Xiangdong was speechless.
He now found a sign that something was very wrong, that is, once he encountered various problems, from the Kong clan to Kong Mingde himself, they would subconsciously put their hopes on him Yan Xiangdong.
It's hilarious!
The dignified Nankong, it is ridiculous to rely on a young man with a foreign surname to survive in a wild land!
But Yan Xiangdong, facing Kong Mingde's hopeful gaze, had to think of a way, no problem, now he relies on the Kong clan to survive, otherwise, if he was alone, he would have died of starvation here, overseas Yinzhou.
Yan Xiangdong thought about it so hard, but unexpectedly it really made him figure out something.
I saw him frowning and said slowly: "The so-called first major event in the world is nothing more than the matter of crops!" Guan Zi said: Cang is honest, know honor and disgrace! If people have no permanent production, they will have no perseverance, so the first thing we are waiting for now is to open up the wasteland and grow grain! ”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiangdong himself was stunned, and then there was a wry smile, what he said was indeed a bit whimsical and unrealistic.
Sure enough, I heard Kong Mingde smile helplessly: "Xiangdong, don't you look at what kind of place this is, here are deep mountains and old forests, rivers are criss-crossed, wild beasts are infested, and it is also a bitter cold land, where is there suitable land for cultivation?" ”
"Besides, even if we have land, where do we get the tools and seeds? I've thought about farming, but ...... It's really out of place! ”
In the end, Kong Mingde was also full of bitterness.
In this life, he only did one thing, and that was to study the Four Books and the Five Classics hard.
Although he did not understand the matter of cropping, he understood that if a family wanted to prosper and survive, it must have enough land that could be cultivated.
After Kong Duan followed Gaozong Zhao to cross to the south, the reason why he was able to erect the banner of Nankong quickly was that he relied on two things, one was the scriptures, and the other was the land.
But on the North American continent, both are luxuries.
"Wow! What a raw and fatty roast beef! ”
Just when Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong were silent, a rough and hearty voice suddenly sounded.
The faces of the two changed, and when they looked behind at the same time, they saw a person wearing a helmet and armor, straddle the big bow, and it was actually Hu Dahai.
Behind him are about hundreds of knights with bright staffs!
With so many cavalry, it stands to reason that it is impossible not to make a sound at all.
But as soon as the snow came, the snow was so deep that the horse's hooves didn't make much noise when they stepped on it
Second, the people of the Kong clan were in ecstasy, and Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong were full of drama at this time, so so many cavalry came to their side, and no one knew.
The two of them quietly looked at Hu Dahai and his party, and saw that these hundreds of knights, all of whom were carrying prey, either roe deer, or wild sheep, and even cut logs and tied a sleigh, on which a few wild boars were piled up.
It looks like he's out hunting, and he happened to meet his own gang.
But that's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
The two of them were thinking in their hearts, but they still hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "Sinners, etc., see Hu Dadudu!" ”
At this moment, the surrounding Nankong people had already seen Hu Dahai, and they hurriedly knelt in place one by one.
Hu Dahai smiled and waved his hand: "This ice and snow are free, get up quickly!" ”
So saying, he took a few steps forward to the roasting bison, drew his saber, cut off a piece of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.
Hu Dahai's eyes lit up: "It's really good meat!" ”
Immediately, he turned his head to Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong, who were following him, and said: "You don't know, this thing is called Yinzhou Bison, it is brute force, short-tempered, and very terrifying, even if the tiger and wolf meet, it may not be able to please well!" ”
"If I encounter this beast on my hunting trip today, I'm afraid I can only keep silent and stay away from it......"
Speaking of this, Hu Dahai changed his words again: "When Nankong has always heard about it, he never thought that he would have such a martial and brave style!" ”
Kong Mingde listened with embarrassment: "The Governor laughed, the clan was really hungry, and they happened to run into this bison, so they dug a pit and captured this bison in desperation......"
"Even so, Matilda almost died today!"
When Hu Dahai heard this, his face actually showed appreciation: "Yes, to be honest, the smell of rotten Confucianism on his body is half missing!" ”
As soon as Hu Dahai's words came out, Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong's faces were stagnant, and they didn't accept it, and they didn't accept it, so they were so embarrassed.
But Hu Dahai still didn't care about anything, just smiled and said: "You and other clansmen, it's not easy to get some food, and I can't eat this mouthful of meat for nothing, so ......"
"I brought a lot of knives, guns, bows and crossbows, and tents on this hunt, which can be regarded as compensation, oh, and the prey I caught on today's hunting, all of which will be given to you and wait!"
After that, without waiting for the two to react, he ordered his knights to bring down all the things he said.
Suddenly, the people of the Southern Confucian tribe cheered, this is the real charcoal in the snow, for a while, almost all the people of the Southern Confucian tribe knelt on the ground again and thanked Hu Dahai.
Only Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong stiffened, and the two exchanged a look with each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes, something was wrong with this Hu Dahai.
This bison is more than 2,000 catties, and Hu Dahai only eats that bite of meat, is it worth so much At this moment, it is a scarce material for the people of the Nankong tribe?
As for the things he sent, the prey was just a prey, but knives, guns, bows and crossbows......
Not to mention how outrageous it is to issue bows and crossbows to exiled prisoners, you know, they have also noticed on the boat along the way, these soldiers who changed guards are all equipped with muskets.
It stands to reason that you should bring muskets with you when you go hunting, but you actually brought so many cold weapons!
The most ridiculous thing is, who goes out hunting in the daytime and still brings so many tents?
Although Kong Mingde has spent all his life on studying, he is not really a nerd, he doesn't know where he is, these things were not given to them for nothing, Hu Dahai must have asked them to do things for him.
Thinking about it in his heart, Kong Mingde didn't hide it, and directly arched his hand: "The so-called merit is not good, and the governor of Hu Dadu has given my people many urgently needed things, Kong Mingde is grateful, but I don't know if there is a place where we can help?" ”
Hu Dahai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, in the end, he was the head of the Nankong family, and he was really a smart person.
It's just that Hu Dahai still looked at him left and right, he pointed to the roast beef that was dripping oil and said, "Master Kong, this bison, how many days can you eat it for three hundred people in your clan?" ”
Kong Mingde was a little confused, but he still said honestly: "If you are frugal and eat, you can eat for about three or four days!" ”
Hu Dahai nodded: "Not bad...... But you also know the dangers of hunting this bison, and if you are not careful, you will be trampled on by this bison! ”
"Besides, even if you can save the day by fighting every time, this bison is not all over the mountains, and it will be eaten up one day, and then ...... How about you wait? ”
Listening to Hu Dahai talking about the existential crisis that the Southern Confucian people were about to face, Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong were really puzzled, and they didn't know what they wanted to say.
But he still cooperated and bowed his hand forward: "Please teach me!" ”
But Hu Dahai still didn't take this stubble, but pointed to the hundreds of knights behind him: "I just went hunting once, but I brought five hundred knights, can you know the reason for this?" ”
Kong Mingde only felt tired, this Qiu Ba, can't you finish talking about it?
Why do you have to learn to go around in circles with sour literati?
