The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 279 Hunting the Kun

The foreign tribesmen followed Lu Chen through the meeting. After each obtained their own share, they left Youzhou City and returned to their own tribes to prepare for the share they would need to hand over next year.

Of course, if it is impossible to produce such a large share by then, it will depend on which tribe of people raises cattle that actually eat grass. Then the cattle may eat people in the future, so I must tell them about the differences on the grassland. Reasons for eating beef.

After all, Zhao An only maintains the stability of Youzhou and does not care about the bloody communication between alien races.

Even though there are now tens of thousands of alien prisoners in the Coal and Steel Division every year, a very important reason is that the aliens decisively accept the policy of exchanging prisoners for supplies.

For them, people who are not members of the same tribe are not considered kinsmen, and there is no concept of loyalty to the emperor. Even the Xianbei tribe itself has not yet completed its unification. If their own tribe cannot capture it, why can't Murong Xianbei not be captured either?

Therefore, the Duan clan of Duan Wenyuan and Duan Shujun, with the support of Liu Tai, began to gradually grow in size in the north.

After all, Liu Tai did not treat these two guys badly. As long as they could capture foreigners and fill them into the Coal and Steel Division, Liu Tai would recognize their contribution. High-end armors such as scale armor were not open to them, but those who retired one after another The leather armor was still traded to them.

Of course, in addition to leather armor, the weapons in their hands are also metal weapons, which can also be exchanged for them.

With the replacement of equipment, this naturally makes their tribe more and more powerful.

There were even conflicts between the Duan tribe and the Murong tribe several times, but no one was at a disadvantage.

But I want to sit down and talk together, but both parties also find it very difficult to talk together.

Because Liu Tai is not like a Taguo who wants to physically destroy the Xianbei people, but just wants to turn the Hu into a hypocrite.

The Xianbei tribe is not a race with average per capita like the Jie tribe. This is the Xianbei tribe. Not to mention the reform by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. This Liu Tai has really studied and knows that the Xianbei tribe has completely integrated into the Han people and has become Han Chinese. typical case.

Not to mention that after I came to this era, I had a certain sense of discretion in looking at people and things. Like Liu Yuan, who alone raised the overall upper limit of the Xiongnu, Xianbei seemed to have a special sense of belonging to Han culture.

In the beginning, whether they followed Wang Jun or Liu Kun, or even if they follow themselves now, it seems that they are all happy to become a part of Han culture.

To be honest, Liu Tai didn't understand this feeling, but Liu Tai was willing to help Xianbei become Han.

Therefore, although those foreigners who entered the coal and steel companies worked in a life-or-death situation, there were still some who stood out step by step, learned Chinese, understood Chinese etiquette, could write Chinese characters, and some even understood allusions.

And when they succeed in their studies, although their generation cannot directly enter the Han nationality register, their children can.

At the same time, at this time, they had two choices. One was to stay in the Coal and Steel Department. After all, managing so many foreign races naturally had to arrange for them.

The other is to allow them to return to the Xianbei tribe and assist the Duan family in managing Xianbei.

Because of their experience of studying in the Coal and Steel Company and their ability to understand Chinese characters and the Xianbei language, they were often reused by Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan.

Because the people who really stand out are, to say the least, the rarest of talents.

Anyone who will be caught in the Coal and Steel Division, even if they are from Xianbei, cannot expect their status to be high.

After all, you have to move bricks here, and it is really hard work. Every day is even more difficult and makes you want to commit suicide!

However, when these people realize that these tests are only to select outstanding and tenacious talents like themselves, they will instinctively support this system and complete the status separation of the slaves who cannot even pass this mere test.

What's more important is that in the process, they read the "Book of Han" and learned the Han rites, and they naturally embraced the culture that could change their destiny.

Probably just like the English teachers after the reform and opening up, most of them admire foreign cultures. It may not necessarily be that they have actually been abroad. It is just that they rely on English to make a living, so they naturally have a good impression of foreign countries.

Now for these people, the Xianbei people have no culture or etiquette, and they have become slaves under the Xianbei system. Now that the big man has given them the opportunity to jump over the dragon's gate, and has given them a new future, they will naturally feel grateful.

The most important thing is that the Han Dynasty is so powerful now. Although I don’t know what the King of Han Liu Tai is like, just looking at his growth trajectory gives people a sense of strength and beauty. How can such a powerful king be kind? Why don't you surrender?

Therefore, whether these people choose to stay in the Coal Division to manage the foreign tribes, or return to the Duan tribe to assist Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan, they all feel good about the big Han from the bottom of their hearts, because they believe that their future is bound to the big Han. of.

In fact, for Duan Shujun and Duan Wenyuan, the current Duan Xianbei tribe is constantly approaching the Han Dynasty and constantly learning Han culture, allowing them to gradually become the Xianbei tribe in the northwest from their original abjection, and they are all supported by the Han Dynasty. , which makes them even more convinced that it is right to continue to follow the path of Chineseization.

As for these Xianbei talents trained from the Han Army Coal Division, while mastering Han culture, they also have the same ideal as themselves, which is to continuously Chineseize their tribes and keep getting closer to the beacon of Asian civilization.

On the contrary, although Murong Huang reused Han counselors, Murong Xianbei still maintained his own habits, which to a certain extent had more appeal to the Xianbei people.

It can be said that at this time, the forces of Murong Xianbei and Duan Xianbei had not yet expanded to the point of real contact.

Therefore, rather than saying that the two sides are constantly competing, it is better to say that the Zahu and Xianbei forces on the road to confrontation between them are unlucky.

But to a certain extent, the two sides can be regarded as two choices for the Xianbei clan to reach a crossroad.

One is that the Duan clan Xianbei promoted the integration of the Xianbei people into the Han people, allowing the Xianbei people to integrate into the Han people and become a part of the Chinese civilization, thus surviving smoothly.

On the other hand, as Murong Xianbei strived for, the Xianbei people can truly be independent as an independent nation and survive on the land of East Asia.

The battle between the two sides is not so much a battle over turf as it is a battle on two lines.

As for Duan Xianbei, because Liu Tai continued to invest in sinicizing Xianbei, his will to actively sinicize became more and more unified.

Although Murong Xianbei pursued national independence, especially when he saw that the Southern Huns were able to take over the Central Plains, he had some thoughts in his heart about why he couldn't do it, and he even had a vague ambition to take over the Central Plains.

All small countries want to become big countries, and all big countries want to become powerful countries. It can be said that it is the instinct of every country and even every nation. It doesn't matter to Liu Tai whether Duan Xianbei and Murong Xianbei have a secret conspiracy or are firmly opposed to each other.

The only thing Liu Tai needs is that the Xianbei of the Duan clan can provide him with a steady stream of foreigners thrown into the Coal and Steel Company for mining, and that the production tasks he assigned to them can be successfully completed.

After all, in Liu Tai's view, he could ignore whatever the Duan tribe told him, but the foreign captives he sent over every year were not fake after all.

And the Xianbei elites who were also cultivated by themselves and were friendly to the Han people were not fake.

Adhering to the principle of freedom, I gave the right to stay and leave to these Xianbei elites who understood Chinese language and etiquette, so that they could further feel the goodwill of the Han Dynasty and let them know that the beacon of East Asian civilization was in the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, any normal and flourishing organization will not stab its allies for no reason when it is bound to the interests of one party. Even Soochow really couldn't win Hefei, so it turned around and stabbed Jingzhou. .

But the problem is that both Duan Wenyuan and Duan Shujun were defeated head-on by Liu Tai, and Liu Tai personally guided the development path of the tribe.

So they were convinced by Liu Tai. At least Liu Tai didn't force them to survive, and they wouldn't betray without reason.

Adhering to their own morality and the safety of the ethnic group, they had to fight Murong Xianbei no matter what. At least if they couldn't defeat Murong Xianbei, they would sit on the fence or do other things that might betray Liu Tai.

In the final analysis, the foreign races are more pure than the Han people, because they only strive for strength and follow the beauty of strength, so they surrender to Liu Tai, and even if Liu Tai squeezes them, it is natural for these foreign races.

As long as the strength of others is not up to standard, whether it is Duan Wen Yuan or Duan Shujun, let alone their loyalty or disloyalty, their entire tribe, or even the genes in their bodies, will not allow them to surrender to the weak inexplicably.

It can only be said that this garbage world is a real world that pursues strength and beauty.

Therefore, Liu Tai somewhat let Duan Xianbei and Murong Xianbei go, and even more deliberately reduced his influence on Duan Xianbei, because Liu Tai thought of waiting until the moment the war broke out between Duan Xianbei and Murong Xianbei.

When that time comes, it's almost time for Tian Tian to take the first team to dig out Murong Xianbei's lair.

Again, Liu Tai is not afraid of the development of the Duan family in Xianbei.

After all, the Xianbei tribe was conquered by Liu Tai from the beginning, and later he continued to inject Han genes into the Xianbei tribe. What was Liu Tai afraid of?

It's just that it's not cost-effective to conquer the Liaodong Peninsula by myself, so I cultivated a sword for conquering the Liaodong Peninsula.

Whether it hacked the Murong tribe to death or he was hacked to death by the Murong tribe, Liu Tai didn't feel bad at all.

Liu Tai only hoped that the Duan tribe could contain the Murong tribe as long as possible before he conquered Jin.

At this moment, Tian Tian, ​​who was Liu Tai's back-up man, was galloping on the sea, and his hands could not help but tremble nervously.

Because he really didn't expect that after communicating with these orcas for so long, these guys actually understood the meaning of the navy, and led the team to the depths of the ocean, where they happened to see a big kun spraying water on the surface of the water. !

Without any hesitation, Tian Zhen immediately asked the fleet to be connected together with thick iron chains, thereby increasing the overall stability of the fleet. Then the fleet lined up horizontally, and the city-breaking crossbows retreated to the deck. At Tian Zhen's order Among them, launch begins!

In an instant, these powerful crossbows that originally attacked the city wall hit the big Kun's body.

This completely unexpected blow from the water made the fat layer of the Kun, which was almost invincible in the sea, unable to play much role at all. Powerful crossbows penetrated directly through the body, but the barbs inside were firmly attached. stuck in its flesh.

To be honest, just this salvo shot the strong crossbow through the heart of the big Kun, causing the blood to flow mixed with the sea water. However, the amazing vitality of the big Kun caused it to start a crazy struggle, trying to get rid of the terrifying ape. Surround and kill.

But facing the sea fortress with chains and boats at this moment, even the giant kun, a sea creature with amazing power, could not compete with it, especially as its life was lost in the constant struggle and it completely turned into a cold corpse!

Seeing this scene, Tian Tian showed a satisfied smile. As a human being, he could completely conquer the Kun with the help of ships. The sense of conquest brought about by Tian Tian made Tian Tian addicted from the bottom of his heart.

Tian Tian even couldn't help but think that if the world was peaceful in the future, he would lead his navy to fight against this giant Kun. If he fought several times a year, he believed that his soldiers would mature quickly.

After all, Tian Zhen did not want to hunt the giant Kun to extinction, but only hoped to use hunting the giant Kun as a training project for the navy after the world was at peace.

And if nature kills so many unlucky giant kuns more than a year, it will naturally have no impact.

"I'm afraid it's going to be winter today. Give me a brief treatment of this big Kun. According to the king's order, cut off the tongue of the big Kun to the reverse halberd Kun, and then take the big Kun back to the naval base. This This is our new year’s product this year!” Tian Tian said.

"The general is mighty!" After hearing Tian Tian's words, everyone responded enthusiastically.

They all know very well that the whale's ambergris is to be sent to the internal coffers, and the whale's skin is to be made into leather armor, and the oil is to be made into materials for maintaining weapons. As for the meat on the body, it is very important to a navy. As far as the base is concerned, it is used for extra meals.

Even though their treatment has been much better after joining the army, they still cannot eat meat stably for a long time.

So the soldiers were naturally very happy. After all, as long as they are human, who doesn't like to eat meat!

As the big Kun was surrounded and set up by a sea fortress with iron cables and boats, the soldiers initially dealt with the big Kun directly on the spot.

Cut off the giant kun's tongue and throw it to the orcas who were responsible for guiding the way, and then together they dragged the huge kun back to the navy base.

When the orcas saw the whale's tongue dropped, they swarmed up and had a delicious meal.

At this time, Tian Kan looked at Tian Tian who seemed to be deep in thought, and couldn't help but ask, "Father, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm just thinking that fighting on the sea is a little different from fighting in rivers. Stability is more important than speed!" Tian Tian said to Tian Kan:

“Even though the ship is very heavy, I still feel that I need to use stronger and heavier wood to make the ship.

After all, I was lucky this time. One salvo hit the giant kun hard. What if it didn't happen next time and the ship was dragged into the sea by the giant kun?

We need stronger and bigger ships! "

"This... you should discuss it with the Su family!" Tian Kan couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Tian Tian's words.
