Daming Military Empire

Chapter 590 New Functions of Tunwei

Although this journey is quite difficult, it is not a big deal for Tunwei who has been farming in the fields all year round. By the evening, nearly half of the journey has been completed. Naturally, it is impossible to drive at night on this rugged mountain road. After taking it, Luo Zongshan decided to find a place to set up a tent, bury the pot for cooking, and rest for a night before leaving.

He was about to order someone to find a place to camp when the Baihu old Xie who was in charge of opening the road ahead suddenly ran back and shouted, "Boss, we found a pack of wolves ahead."

A pack of wolves!Luo Zongshan was taken aback when he heard the words, but seeing Lao Xie's expression, he didn't seem to be scared, he couldn't help wondering: "How many heads?"

Lao Xie replied excitedly: "About ten or so."

Hearing this, Luo Zongshan almost kicked him up. He said with contempt: "Ten why are you running back? Don't you have more than a hundred people under your command? You are afraid of ten wolves. What you hold are knives and guns, not fire sticks." .”

Old Xie said in embarrassment when he heard the words: "No, boss, there is a forest ahead, I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to hold back and let the pack of wolves run away."

When Luo Zongshan heard the words, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What do you mean, did you find the wolves, but the wolves didn't find you?"

Lao Xie thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Maybe they found out, but they were eating there, they didn't pay attention to us, and they didn't intend to run away."

It turned out that this was the case, Luo Zongshan couldn't help bursting out a huge idiom: "You idiot, tell me earlier."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and yelled at the back: "Stop, stop, come here with weapons, hurry up, kill the wolf."

With his voice, the convoy stopped quickly, and hundreds of men in formal attire surrounded them, shouting, "Where is it, where is the wolf?"

Luo Zongshan frowned when he saw this posture. Now even he felt that the group of people under his command was too lacking in training, they were chaotic and had no discipline at all, especially some of them ran away with a gun or a longbow Come here, what can you do here, kill the wolf, don't get scratched by the wolf.

He couldn't help shouting: "The one with the knife will follow me, and the others will stay."

After that, he turned around and followed Lao Xie forward.

Although these people were chaotic, none of them dared to disobey his order. Soon, three hundred or so men with knives followed them and walked forward, while the others obediently ran back to the convoy.

A group of people walked along the road for about half a mile, and there was a row of wide woods ahead. Passing through the woods, the grass on both sides of the road has grown to the height of half a person, and more than 100 guards with waist knives are standing in a semicircle, hiding behind the grass with their waists bowed.

Luo Zongshan raised his hand to stop the people behind him, then followed Lao Xie Mao and walked forward gently, carefully stretched out his head to see, there were indeed a group of wolves eating in the middle of the path dozens of steps ahead. what.

He looked at the woods on both sides, then pulled Lao Xie again, and the two walked back with their waists bent.

He directly divided the ten hundred households into two waves, and then gave the order: "Old Xie, take half of the people to the left, Lao Zhang, take half of the people to the right, and go through the woods to form a big circle. I call Come on, let’s go together, don’t let these wolves get away.”

All the hundreds of households nodded upon hearing the words, and led their people into the woods on both sides, and soon formed a huge encirclement circle. The wolves in the middle seemed to have discovered something, and looked up and down frequently. However, they It seems that they have no experience of encountering humans, and they are not very afraid. Besides, it is very unlikely that they will leave the half-eaten prey and run away. Therefore, they still eat carefully around there, and have no intention of running away.

When Luo Zongshan saw that the encirclement was almost formed, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Go."

Immediately, four hundred or so people held their gleaming waist knives, pushed aside the bushes, flashed out from behind the tree, and rushed up. The dozen or so wolves realized that they were afraid at this time, and fled in all directions, but it was too late.

A flash of knife light flashed, and there was a howling sound of "woo woo" at the edge of the woods and beside the path. Soon, the howling sound disappeared and was replaced by a group of people discussing enthusiastically.

Luo Zongshan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while. He walked towards the center while thinking, and when he saw those wild wolves with cuts all over his body, he finally remembered: a whole wolf skin Ten taels of silver, one tael of silver for a piece of wolf skin!
Thinking of this, he immediately went up and inspected more than a dozen wild wolves one by one. They were all rotten. He couldn't help but stood up and shouted angrily: "You bunch of melons, don't you know how to chop off their necks? Don't you know how to cut off your head, how to make clothes after cutting it like this, and make bellybands for your mother-in-law?"

Everyone lowered their heads in shame when they heard the words, only Lao Xie bravely went up to comfort him and said, "Boss, forget it, we don't lack clothes, and hunting so many wolves is just to eat wolf meat, the leather is chopped to pieces Just chop it up, at worst peel it and throw it away.”

Hearing this, Luo Zongshan couldn't help roaring at him: "You know a hammer, a whole wolf skin is ten taels of silver a piece, a broken wolf skin is a tael of silver a piece, more than 100 taels, now it's more than ten taels, Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat, and taking 100 taels of silver to buy meat can make you all dead."

After this painful lesson, Luo Zongshan decided to organize this group of people to practice when they arrive in the jurisdiction, at least they must practice their hunting skills well. The most valuable prey here is leather, so they should go up and chop it up like this. If you cut the leather to pieces, you can still make money!
After sighing with everyone for a while, Luo Zongshan ordered people to look for water sources everywhere, and soon someone found a small river not far ahead, so he simply sent people to go back and inform that he would camp in this woods tonight, eat and rest for the night , and hurry up tomorrow morning.

That night, the whole forest smelled like dog meat, and everyone didn't know how to make wolf meat, so they simply followed the dog stew recipe, added some spices, and stewed it in dozens of pots, so that everyone could drink it Bowl of broth.

Everyone worked together to set up the tent, eat and drink enough, rest for one night, and continue on the next day.

They didn’t meet any wolves in the back, and all kinds of ferocious beasts didn’t dare to come up when they saw such a large group of people. In addition, it was very cold here all year round, and poisonous snakes and other reptiles were not very common, so they didn’t encounter any danger along the way. After driving for half a day, at noon the next day, Luo Zongshan finally arrived at the jurisdiction with a large group of people.

He compared the map carefully, and after confirming that he had found the right one, he ordered people to search the center of the jurisdiction for a while, and finally found a good place with mountains and rivers. The next step was to set up barracks, cut down trees, and mine stones. , fired bricks, prepared to build a masonry house, and officially settled down.

Through what he has seen along the way, Luo Zongshan knows that it is not difficult to survive in this place. In such a large area, hunting, cutting trees, and raising livestock can be exchanged for enough food, but this is not him. He has several children who need to start a family and start a business, and he must make money.

What he didn't know was that he was promoted to Qianhu precisely because he had many children. If he wanted to find a bachelor to be Qianhu, how could he lead the people below to try their best to make money!
