The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 307 Invited us to the theater
What Molu Dawa said to McKayman was true.

After he was arrested in Bukui, his freedom was restricted at first.Not long after, Jia Min released him and told him to move freely and go back at any time.

However, he himself did not leave.He was attracted by Jia Min's reform measures in Bukui, and wanted to see for himself what Jia Min really wanted to do.

This is the first time he has seen such reform measures.While making him curious, he also wanted to see what effect it would have.

Of course, I also want to see how capable Jia Min is and whether he is an opponent of the four tribes.

Yesterday, Jia Min invited him to watch a military exercise and showed him the weapons of the Fubing Corps.This time he came back by himself and persuaded McCain to surrender.

This is exactly what Jia Min wanted him to do.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to convince McKamen, but since the safety and future of the entire Mailai tribe was at stake, he still wanted to make an effort.

Now, his efforts failed.

However, it is only now that McCain is under control, and a large-scale battle has not yet been fought. If McCain surrenders at this time, it is still too late.

"McKayman, the situation is over, you surrender."

Morodawa still wanted to make a last effort.

"Morudawa, have you become a traitor?"

"I'm not a traitor. They came here for their own business. I didn't collude with them. I'm not like you. I have my own rules."

"McKamen, we want to beat you, it's just a piece of cake, there's no need to find Morudawa, let's surrender."

Wei Ruoshui was a little puzzled, at this moment, McKayman was still thinking about accusing Morudawa.

"I know the Pukui people who are playing tricks. You were beaten like rabbits by me before, and you only knew how to run away. Now you are plotting against me again. What kind of heroes are you?"

Wei Ruoshui almost wanted to bump himself to death, and at this time, McKayman still said such stupid things.

I call this plotting?I call it a beheading operation, you know that?
"McKayman, according to what you say, are you not convinced?"

"Of course I'm not convinced."

"Then what do you want?"

"Let me go, let's fight a battle openly, and if we lose, I will surrender and pay the money."

"Okay, it's a deal, you can gather as many people as you can, we will come with 800 people, and we will have a decisive battle at Hongshitan tomorrow morning at Yinshi."

After Wei Ruoshui finished speaking, he put away the short gun and walked out of the yurt.

Outside the yurt, a dozen or so members of the owl team were waiting. When they saw Wei Ruoshui coming out, they got on their horses and left together.

Around the accounting room, there were a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

After Wei Ruoshui went out for a long time, McKayman was convinced that the other party had indeed let him go.

He didn't expect that the other party would let him go so easily, they could kill him.

Are they really so sure that they can defeat themselves?
Not to mention only 800 people came, even if 2000 people came, could they still be their opponents with 4000 people?

McKayman didn't believe it, and he had no reason to believe it.

"McKayman, do you really want to fight?"

"beat."

"You're going to kill a lot of kids. You're not going to end well yourself."

"Morudava, you have already said that."

"Okay, McKayman, I won't say any more. However, I want to tell you that the people of our tribe will not follow you to die, so you don't go to them."

After Morudawa finished speaking, he went out.

There are more than 800 fighters in Morudawa's tribe. If they don't go, there will only be more than 3000 people left in McKaymen.

However, more than 3000 people have no reason to lose to 800 people, so McKayman made up his mind to fight to the death with the Pukui people.

"Come here."

McKaymen yelled.

No one came in, his guards were all dead, where else was there?

McKay got out of the yurt, saw the guards lying on the ground, sighed, got on his horse and left.

He wants to gather the tribal warriors to fight the Bukui people on the Red Rock Beach.

Khaki tribe.

The headman Kadel is studying the news sent by Lameihua with the tribe's great shaman Damulo: the Bukui people are coming to attack today.

Like McKayman, they have also received such news for several days in a row.However, there was no sign of a Pukui person.

"Damuro, do you think they will come tonight?"

Kader respects Damuro very much.

Not only because Damuro has prestige in the tribe, not only because Damuro is resourceful, but also because Damuro has always supported him.

In last year's headman battle, Damuro led his own tribe to side with Kader, and used his influence to persuade other major tribes to support Khader, which allowed Kader to successfully board the The throne of the headman.

"Head Khader, do you think they will come?"

"I don't think they will come."

"why?"

The reason why Damuro supports Kadel is not because he is so good, but because he is relatively mediocre among his brothers.

In Damuro's view, the Khaki tribe doesn't really need a good leader.

An excellent leader always wants to do great things and make a name for himself on the grassland.However, the Khaki tribe is the weakest of the four tribes.If the headman forges ahead, he may conflict with the other three tribes in the future, which will harm the Khaki tribe instead.

To compete with other tribes, the ultimate means is war.This is something the khaki tribe cannot afford.

In history, as the leader of the four major tribes, Iron Buddha has a relatively distant relationship with the Khaki tribe, so let alone Iron Buddha, even if there is a conflict with Mai Lai and Luo Sun, Iron Buddha will not stand by them .

The biggest possibility is that Tiefo took the opportunity to conspire with the other two tribes to carve up Khaki.

"First, Bu Kui's troops are insufficient. They only have a total of more than 700 people. Among these people, there are still many who are the heads of the official village, and there is no way to get them out."

"Second, it's autumn harvest time, and they are afraid that we will attack Bu Kui to grab food, so they will defend in Bu Kui and will not take the initiative to attack at all."

"Third, they fought against us before, and they were defeated every time. We have more than 600 warriors, and he dare not come to provoke us."

Hearing what Kadel said, Damuro shook his head slightly.

"What's the matter, Damuro, is there a problem?"

"Kader, how many times has Bu Kui played against us in the past six months?"

"Seventeen times?"

"How many people do they come each time?"

"A hundred people."

"How many troops do we send each time?"

"1000 people."

"How many of them died?"

"two."

"What about us?"

Cadel fell silent.

"We lost 170 people. Can you still say that we won? Kader, this is not the main thing. We lost in other places."

"where is it?"

"How is the money you make this year compared to previous years?"

"Sixty percent less than in previous years."

"It's not bad for you. The people are all losing money. This year they used their savings from previous years, and there are still a lot of debts. The spices are embargoed, the leather and meat are rotten, and there are not many craftsmen left. No, things can’t be sold. Many people haven’t prepared winter fodder yet. The Bukui people are officers and soldiers, and they are busy fighting every day and don’t need to do anything else.”

"But, can we do it? Now, salt, tea, and ironware are not embargoed. If these things are also embargoed, what should we do? Are they all smuggled? How much will it cost?"

"The ministries will come out to fight at every turn, and no one is doing the work at home. Those exiled slaves were either captured by them or fled. Therefore, the current ministries have long been tired of war."

"In the past, the Bukui people would fight and run away. Now if there are more people coming and fighting us, how many people do you think will work for you? Over the years, your family has received tribute money from the court, However, they were not handed over to the imperial court, and they were all kicked into the purse of their own home, this is the true opinion of the followers."

"In their eyes, you are just a fake headman now. So, we have lost now."

"Damuro, what do you say? Do you really want me to surrender?"

"Whether to surrender depends on whether it is worthwhile?"

"What do you think will happen after the surrender?"

"Hand over 50 years of tribute, and then ask the court to confer title, you will be a real leader. This is a nominal benefit, and another benefit..."

"Any other benefits?"

"Another advantage is that we don't have to fight anymore, and our tribes can live and multiply in peace. The business routes outside are open, and we can have more opportunities to make money. There can be more livestock. Salt, tea, spices, etc. No matter what, there will be no embargo. With the protection of the court, Mai Lai and Luo Sun dare not bully us, and Tie Buddha will not annex us again. The money you handed over can be earned back soon. "

"Damuro, I know what you say makes sense, but I'm very surprised, why do you have these views?"

"It's not my opinion, it's another person's opinion."

"Whose opinion?"

"Feng Ziying."

"Feng Ziying? Feng Ziying, Bu Kui's number two? Damulo, you?"

"This is what he told me. He is at my house now. Would you like to meet him?"

"You mean, he's here to negotiate?"

"He came to negotiate, but he said that there is no rush to negotiate, he wants to invite us to watch a play first."

"What show are you watching?"

"Go to Red Rock Beach and see how their 800 people beat Mailai's 4000 people. After watching this scene, we will negotiate."

"You mean, they want to use 800 people to defeat Mailai's 4000 people. How is this possible?"

"He said so. I think we can go and have a look, and we can talk about it after reading it."

"How many people did they come? They won't be playing any tricks, right? The Han people are very cunning."

"There are three people here. Why are we afraid of him?"

"Who are we going? Take 1000 people there?"

"It doesn't take that much, does it? Feng Ziying said, just take all our commanders and centurions. I think what he said makes sense. If he wanted to plot against us, he wouldn't just come with three people. I think he is sincerely."

"Why did he invite us to the theater first? He also asked the commander of the thousand and the commander of the centurion to go?"

"I think he wants us to see that we can't beat them. In this way, we can only negotiate with them."

"You promised him?"

"I promised him to persuade you, but in the end you have to decide, you are the leader."

An hour later, all the commanders of thousands and centurions armed by the Khaki tribe, under the leadership of Kadeer and Damuro, went to the Red Rock Beach together with Feng Ziying, chief of staff of the Bukui Mansion Corps.

They will be there to watch the decisive battle between 800 people from Pukui and [-] warriors from Mailai.
