Chapter 1,338 The heavy snow in Heilongjiang, the firebird of Maha tribe~
The snowflakes in October are getting more and more numerous, and this winter seems to be colder than last year. Although the Heilongjiang river is still turbulent, no one knows whether it will freeze after a cold wave from the far north moves south. Therefore, the kingdom's longships
, it’s time to return.
The "blood oath" and "marriage" between the kingdom and the Maha Tribe established the kingdom's first local tribal ally in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. And the closer interest connection is the mutually complementary trade in military supplies.
"Aguda, my uncle, my good brother! You have also taken inventory. We have basically kept all the supplies on the ship. There are a total of one hundred iron spears, ten bundles of iron arrows, ten iron axes, and ten
An iron pot, ten stones of rice, ten boxes of wine, ten bags of salt... are enough for you to arm your tribe and spend this winter well!"
"In addition to this, I also leave you four pairs of heavy cloth-covered armors! When you go out to fight, you can always wear the armor on your body... and the talisman of the Lord God. With the blessing of the Lord God, you will definitely win every battle.
, come back safely!…”
Zuvalo looked sincere and held Maha Aguda's arm tightly. The other party also nodded, with happiness and recognition on his face.
"Zu, my brother-in-law, my good brother! These forty-four tribesmen, four big horses, and the pile of extra furs saved by the tribe are all yours!..."
"Among the forty-four people, Hu Nu is the strongest! He is born with supernatural power. As long as he is trained, his bravery should be no less than that of Xiong Da, or even more powerful! ... The three cavalry are all good at horseback archery. But you
You have to endure them first, don't let them escape with their horses... The twenty tribal war slaves are all candidates for strong warriors, and you have to endure them before you can use them with confidence..."
"As for the last twenty old and weak people, although they are not of much use, they can at least train dogs, raise horses, and make leather and bows. Since you are raising them, let them work hard! ... In the land of dense forests and rivers, they will never
If you raise idle people, even those who are too old will not survive..."
After saying this, Maha Aguda waved to his sister, Maha Henu, to come over. In front of Zuwaro, he scolded his sister with a straight face.
"Henu! Zu is my brother, your husband, and the shaman chief of the tribe! You must respect him, especially in front of the warriors of their tribe! When you come here next year, if you let me know, you will
What kind of injustice did Zu suffer? I will definitely hit you with a sledgehammer to show you how good you look!..."
"...brother, I know!..."
In front of her brother Aguda, Henu finally lowered her head and said nothing obediently. But Zuvalo twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at the sledgehammer in Aguda's hand, and pointed it at him intentionally or unintentionally. He knew what he said.
, basically speaking to myself.
"Aguda, uncle! Don't worry! I will take good care of Henu, just like Fengxue takes good care of the mountains and forests!..."
"What kind of strange metaphor is this?... Let's go! See you next year! Next year, we will annex more small tribes, capture more slaves, and capture more horses!... I will wait for you to grow up.
Ship, come with new supplies!…”
"Okay! It's a deal! Next year, we will come earlier and bring more supplies!..."
Zuvalo grinned, looking at the tribal warriors boarding the ship and those tall fish-skin slaves, his heart was full of confidence and excitement.
During this trip, the kingdom not only had twenty-four more fish-skin warriors who could fight, each of whom was at the level of the kingdom's own warriors, but also had three more... no, four tribal cavalry who could charge with mounted archers! And the kingdom used
The materials exchanged were only half of what was exchanged from the Kazuto clan, and only the start-up cost of a few gold talismans...
"Exchange materials, livestock, craftsmen and farmers from He people... Then transport the materials to the lower reaches of the river. From the Maha tribe, trade warriors, cavalry and horses... Finally, transport all the people and livestock to Hua
Taigang Port, operating the kingdom’s important town on the West Sea, and opening up wider potato fields and barnyard fields!…”
"This is the spirit of the great Lord God, the flow of trade and faith, the cycle of wealth and people! ... As long as the kingdom's ports grow stronger and more warriors can be mobilized, more 'gold' can be used
value in exchange for more and faster development!…”
"The next step is to raise horses in the southern part of Huatai, wait for a new batch of support from the Kingdom of Donghai, and then transport these hard-earned Japanese craftsmen back! Yes, that's it!..."
Zuvalo cleared all his thoughts, smiled and grabbed the hand of Mahal. Mahabalo mounted the horse, sprinted, and carried Zuvalo onto the long boat on the river. The two of them held hands like this
Armed with him, he rode on the horse and waved to Maha Aguda. Then, the long boat raised its half-sail, stowed the heavy stone anchor, rowed the oars, and rowed along the turbulent river... nearly twice as long as before.
Speed, quickly head towards the estuary!
"Let's go! Let's set off! I can't wait to return to Shenhua Taigang to see the future center of the kingdom!..."
"Let's go! Zu! I can't wait to see your other wives and compare with them to see who is the real tigress!"
"Uh... Henu, none of them can compare to you... Let me think about it, Sona can compete with you in archery. She should be better at training dogs than you, but she can't ride a horse..."
"...Sona?!..."
“…!…”
Heavy snow falls from the deep sky, spreading a silver-white curtain, covering the endless forest and swamps. The Buddhist temples and earthen huts in the distance are blurred in the wind and snow, and become smaller and smaller, just like the shore
The figures are the same.
Priest Kui Huo waved his hand and watched the kingdom's longboat go further and further, then turned around and disappeared behind the bend of the river. Then Maha Aguta turned around and looked at the "ship priest" who stayed behind.
Like a tiger glaring at an elk that comes to your door.
"Hey! You who can't fight, what do you call the 'Burning Firebird'?..."
"Dear Chief Aguda, my surname 'Kui' is 'Eagle', and my first name is 'Fire'... Well, it doesn't matter, just call me 'Firebird'!..."
Priest Kui Huo smiled and bowed his head to Aguda. Then, he pointed to his arm, which was not strong, and then to his head with Nava bun, and said seriously.
"Chief Aguda, I really can't fight. But you are a strong tiger king, and you don't lack warriors who can fight. What you lack is a wise head, a fox that can assist you! No matter how brave the tiger is, it can't hide.
The tiger can't get through the hunter's trap, but in the trap, the tiger's bravery cannot be used. The fox can help the tiger catch the largest prey with the least effort, and avoid competition from other hunters or tigers..."
“…”
"More specifically, I will help you calculate how many people the tribe's material reserves can support and how long they can last. I will arrange for perishable food to be eaten first, and calculate how many horses and dogs should be raised. And when I understand the surroundings clearly
After setting up your hunting and fishing grounds, I can also help you arrange the order for hunters to hunt, and weave more effective fishing nets... Well, if someone is injured while hunting, I will also disinfect and bandage them, all of which are skills learned at Shenwei University.
!…”
“…”
"Of course, apart from these, my most important help is to build a real altar for you and ignite the flame of faith in the main god! Then, lead your tribe to pray to the flame, and while praying to the gods, also
Promote your divinity and bravery!…”
"..."
Maha Aguda blinked his eyes and looked at the serious priest Kui Huo, who seemed to be really capable. After a while, he paused heavily with his stone hammer and laughed loudly.
"Haha! This chirping... looks like a powerful little fox! It's a pity... your tribal language is so bad, I can't understand it at all!..."
"Let's go! Come back with me first! I have to find you a wife and teach you the tribal language... From now on, you will be a member of the Maha tribe!..."
"The mountain god bless you! The main god bless you! Hahaha!..."
The wind and snow became even heavier, so heavy that they obscured the view. The chief carrying the stone hammer and the little priest dragging his feather crown quickly disappeared by the Huntong River. The bonfire of the Maha tribe was lit in the snow, and a new kind of
The order comes in the flames!
It will truly stimulate the potential of this tribe, allowing them to gradually unite more loose small tribes from a disorderly and powerful individual, and move towards a cohesive and powerful alliance! Then, the Firebird's order will expand along the river until it encounters
Other powerful tribal opponents!
These opponents may be the Uliangha Mongolian tribes in the west, or the Mature Jurchen tribes in the south, and more likely, they will be other powerful Jurchen tribes migrating south first... Of course, all of this is still possible.
It takes time, it takes a long time for a tree to grow into a white birch mixed with the river~
