Chapter 272 New World Conquest Plan

Zhou Deming and Yan Xiangdong looked at each other, walked around the trap, and stopped behind the trap. Seeing that the two of them stopped running, the buffalo's eyes turned red again!

As soon as the hind hoof exerted force, it landed firmly on the pit!
As soon as the bison's four hooves touched the surface of the Xixi pit, there was only a bang, and the bison fell down!
Then there was a painful hiss.

The two were overjoyed. Standing by the pit and looking inside, they saw two bloody spears, like big iron nails, firmly nailing the bison to the ground.

Kong Mingde breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face tightened again, but it turned out that the bison was not completely dead, and was even struggling. He saw that the two spears were about to fall due to the shaking of the bison. down.

Kong Mingde was startled, turned his head and looked around, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Yan Xiangdong: "Xiangdong! Quick, take the spear in your hand, and give this beast another ruthless blow!"

Yan Xiangdong, who was in a daze, suddenly shivered, and then his face turned red.

It turned out that he had long forgotten that he still had a spear in his hand. He didn't pay attention when he was running just now, but he only realized it after being reminded by Kong Mingde. throw away.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiangdong took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and tightly held the spear in his hand...

It was also the first time for him to kill and see blood, and finally he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stabbed out fiercely with a spear!
puff!

Coincidentally, the spear just went right into the bison's eye socket and penetrated straight into the brain. At this point, the bison is considered dead!

"call!"

Zhou Mingde and Yan Xiangdong let out a long sigh of relief almost at the same time, and finally sat down on the ground.

From the small piece of dry food last night to the small piece of dry food at noon today.

Originally, the physical strength was seriously lacking, and they ran frantically for their lives along the way, and were overly frightened. At this moment, the pressure suddenly disappeared, but the two of them could no longer hold on.

It's hard to even speak right now.

Zhou Mingde's tears fell again, this time not tears of despair, but tears of hope!
Finally, with a lot of meat, he and his clansmen can finally survive, even if the meat can only last for three or four days, but he is very satisfied now.

Even Kong Mingde himself didn't notice that in his mind, the so-called sage's way, the sage's study has gradually become blurred.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally recovered and supported each other to stand up.

Such a big buffalo cannot be brought up with the strength of these two people alone.

So, the two returned to the place where the tribe was dispersed at the beginning. At this moment, all the tribesmen who participated in the hunt had gathered.

Hearing that the head of the family and Yan Xiangdong had hunted and killed the bison, everyone immediately cheered. Although more than ten people grinned and their faces were pale, they also laughed with wide mouths.

These few people were all injured when the buffalo went crazy just now when they were knocked into the air, or were trampled by the hooves of the buffalo.

But fortunately, these few people were all skin wounds, and none of them were injured, and the most seriously injured one was only broken skin, and the flesh leaked out, which is simply a miracle.

A group of clansmen gathered for hunting came to the pit non-stop, and got the huge bison out.

This bison is also capable of resisting, and it is considered dead if it is hit with four spears in a row.

In addition to the two spears in the pit, the spear that Yan Xiangdong stabbed, and the spear that Kong Mingde rescued the tribe at that time.

As for the knife, it was the knife in the pit. Of the three knives erected in the pit, two were broken by the weight of the bison, and only one stabbed in.

When everyone saw it, they could only feel lucky!

At this time, the sun also appeared in the sky that had been gloomy for many days.

In an instant, the sky and the earth were bright.

It was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly, but the place where the Kong clan gathered was filled with long-lost songs and laughter.

The fluffy, thick cowhide is hung on the branches and exposed to the sun. This thing is the best for keeping warm.

A bison weighing one or two thousand catties was put on a thick dead wood trunk and roasted on a rack.

The golden yellow fat slowly fell from the steaming huge beef, and dripped on the fire, not to stir up one or two bursts of flames.

All the members of the Kong clan were holding a large piece of steaming hot beef. The feeling of fullness, warmth, and almost intoxicating happiness was something they had never experienced before.

Yan Xiangdong let out a long sigh, and sat down comfortably among a pair of dead branches and leaves. This is the harvest of firewood collected today, enough for the 300 people to burn for three or four nights.

At this time, Yan Xiangdong's mind was relaxed. All the knowledge of saints, family and country, and self-doubt were all gone now. He suddenly felt that it would be good if he could continue like this.

Just when Yan Xiangdong was full of satisfaction, he discovered something was wrong again.

I saw Kong Mingde sitting by the fire, roasting his hands, not eating beef, just in a daze.

Yan Xiangdong scratched his head for a moment. What he was most afraid of now was that the patriarch of Nankong would do something wrong. Once his mood was abnormal, it would immediately affect the hearts of the entire Kong clan.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiangdong could only sigh secretly, walked slowly to Kong Mingde and sat down, and asked with a smile on his face, "Mr. Mingde, what are you thinking about?"

Kong Mingde sighed: "I'm thinking about what the Kong clan will do in the future, can they really only live on fishing and hunting from now on?"

"This... How is this different from those barbarians? I am not reconciled!"

Yan Xiangdong was silent...

Yes, not reconciled, of course he doesn't want to become a barbarian Hu'er, but what should he do?

While talking for a while, Kong Mingde cast his hopeful eyes on Yan Xiangdong again.

Yan Xiangdong was speechless.

Now he has discovered something very wrong, that is, once encountering various problems, everyone from the Kong clan to Kong Mingde himself will subconsciously place their hopes on Yan Xiangdong.

This is simply ridiculous!

It's absurd that the dignified Nankong has to rely on a young man with a foreign surname to survive in the barren land!

But Yan Xiangdong, facing Kong Mingde's hopeful eyes, had to bite the bullet and think of a way, there is no way, now he is relying on the Kong clan to survive, otherwise, if he was alone, he would have been frozen and hungry And died here, Yinzhou overseas.

Yan Xiangdong thought about it so hard, but unexpectedly, he really figured out something.

Seeing him frowning, he said slowly: "The so-called most important event in the world is nothing more than the matter of harvesting!" Guan Zi said: "The warehouse reports the truth, and knows the honor and disgrace! If a person has no permanent property, he has no perseverance. Therefore, now our number one The first thing is to open up wasteland and grow food!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yan Xiangdong himself was stunned, and immediately smiled wryly. What he said was indeed a bit wild and unrealistic.

Sure enough, I heard Kong Mingde helplessly smile: "Xiangdong, don't you even look at this place. There are deep mountains and old forests everywhere, rivers are criss-crossing, wild beasts are infested, and it is also a bitter cold place. Where is there suitable land for farming?"

"Furthermore, even if we have land, where do we get the farm tools and seeds? I have thought about the so-called farming, but...it is really out of date!"

At the end, Kong Mingde was also full of bitterness.

In his life, he only did one thing, and that was to study the Four Books and Five Classics.

Although he didn't know about farming, he understood that if a family wanted to prosper and survive, it must have enough land that could be cultivated.

After Kong Duanyou traveled south with Gaozong Zhao Gou, the reason why he was able to erect the banner of Nankong very quickly relied on two things, one is the scriptures, and the other is the land.

But on this North American continent, both are luxuries.

"Hey! Such a fat 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 they looked back at the same time, and saw a man wearing a helmet and armor, and a big bow slanted, it was actually Hu Dahai.

Behind them are about hundreds of knights with bright armor and staff!
With so many cavalry, it is logically impossible for them not to make any noise.

But once the snow was so deep, the sound of horseshoes stepping on it was not loud at all.

Secondly, the members of the Kong clan were all in ecstasy, and Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong were full of drama at this time, so so many cavalry came to his side, and no one knew it.

The two of them looked at Hu Dahai and his party calmly, and saw that there were hundreds of knights, all of them were carrying prey, such as roe deer or wild sheep, and they even cut logs and built a sled. A few wild boars piled up.

It looked like he was out hunting, and he happened to meet his group of people by chance.

But this is too coincidental!
Thoughts were surging between the two of them, but on the surface they still rushed forward to pay respects: "Sinners, please see Governor Hu!"

At this moment, the surrounding Nankong people had also seen Hu Dahai, and they hurriedly knelt down on the spot.

Hu Dahai chuckled, and waved his hands: "This world of ice and snow will be spared, get up, get up!"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and came to the bison that was roasting. He drew out 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!"

Then he turned his head to Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong who were following behind him and said: "You don't know, this thing is called Yinzhou Bison. It is full of strength, has a bad temper, and is very terrifying. Even if a tiger or a wolf encounters it, it may not It's a good deal!"

"I'm hunting today, if I encounter this beast, I'm afraid I can only keep silent and stay away from it..."

Speaking of this, Hu Dahai changed the subject again: "Nan Kong has always been known for his literary talents, but he never thought that he would have such a brave spirit!"

Kong Mingde was embarrassed when he heard it: "The governor was joking, the people in the clan were really hungry, and they happened to meet this bison, so they dug a pit to capture this bison..."

"Even so, Mingde almost lost his life today!"

After hearing this, Hu Dahai actually showed admiration on his face: "Yes, to be honest, the rotten smell on my body has been reduced by half!"

As soon as Hu Dahai said this, Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong's expressions froze.

Hu Dahai, on the other hand, still didn't care about anything, just smiled and said: "It's not easy for you and the rest of the clan to get some food, and I can't eat this piece of meat for nothing, how about it..."

"I brought a lot of knives, guns, crossbows, and tents for this hunting trip. These can be regarded as compensation. Oh, and the prey I hunted today are all given to you!"

After all, without waiting for the two of them to react, he ordered the knights under his command to bring down all the things he said.

Immediately, the people of the South Kong people cheered, this was a real timely help. For a while, almost all the people of the South Kong people knelt on the ground again to express their thanks to Hu Dahai.

Only Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong stiffened. They exchanged glances, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. There was something wrong with Hu Dahai.

This bison weighed more than 2000 catties, and Hu Dahai only had to eat that bite of meat, so it was worth so much. Is it a scarce commodity for the South Kong people at this moment?
As for the things he sent, the prey is nothing more than the knives, guns, bows and crossbows...

Let's not talk about how outrageous it is to fire bows and crossbows to exiled prisoners. You must know that they were on the ship along the way, and they also noticed that these soldiers who changed defense were all equipped with muskets.

Logically speaking, one should also bring muskets with him when he goes out hunting, but he actually brought so many cold weapons!

The most ridiculous thing is, who goes hunting in broad daylight and brings so many tents?
Although Kong Mingde has spent all his life on reading, he is not a real nerd. He didn't know that these things were not given to them for nothing, and Hu Dahai must have asked them to do things for him.

After thinking about it in his heart, Kong Mingde didn't hide it anymore, and directly cupped his hands and said: "It is said that you will not be rewarded if you don't get rewarded. Governor Hu gave my people so many urgently needed things. Kong Mingde is very grateful, but he doesn't know what to do Is there anything I can do for you?"

Hu Dahai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, he is the Patriarch of Nankong, and he is indeed a smart person.

However, Hu Dahai still talked about him from left to right. He pointed to the roast beef that was dripping oil and said, "Patriarch Kong, how many days can you eat this bison with 300 members of your family?"

Kong Mingde was a little puzzled, but he said honestly: "If you eat frugally, you can probably eat it for three or four days!"

Hu Dahai nodded: "That's right... But you know the dangers of hunting this bison. If you are not careful, you will be trampled to your death by this bison!"

"Furthermore, even if you can save yourself from danger every time you fight and fight, but these bison are not all over the mountains and plains, they will be eaten up one day, then... so what do you wait for?"

Listening to Hu Dahai talking about the imminent survival crisis faced by the South Kong people, Kong Mingde and Yan Xiangdong were really full of doubts, and they didn't know what he wanted to say at all.

But still Pai cooperated and bowed his hands forward: "Please teach me, Dadu!"

But Hu Dahai still didn't take this issue, but pointed at the hundreds of knights behind him: "I took five hundred knights with me for a mere hunting trip, do you two know the reason for this?"

Kong Mingde just felt tired, this Qiu Ba, does he have a lot to say?

Why do you still have to imitate the sour literati and go around in circles?
