Chapter 470 Ezo Bear Hunting
The Hokkaido in the north of Japan is the Hokkaido in later generations. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the Hokkaido was still a homeless land and did not belong to Japan. There were also natives living on the island. These natives were the Ainu people in later generations. However, because these Ainu people had thick body hair, most people prefer to call them Mao people.
In order to have enough troops to attack Japan, Li Yan followed Wang An's advice and moved a group of Hu people on the northern grasslands of the Tang Dynasty to Siqi, and promised them that if they captured Japan, they would give them a piece of land to grazing, and this land was chosen by him on the Hei Island.
In the war against Japan, the grassland troops did not work very hard, and tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. Among the several troops that organized the attack on Japan, they suffered the most casualties. After the war, Li Yan also kept his promise and sent all 170,000 Hu people to the Hoiyi Island, but this aroused the dissatisfaction of the local Mao people and then fought with the Hu people. Unfortunately, the Mao people were short and in the primitive society, and there was no iron weapon. How could they be the fierce Hu people? So in a short time, the Mao people on the Hoiyi Island were driven into the jungle in the middle of the island and did not dare to come out at all.
The appearance of the Hokkien Island looks like a crab without legs, and the center is high and the surrounding area is low. Most of the surrounding areas are flat, which is very suitable for agricultural and animal husbandry land. It is precisely because of this that after the Hu people on the grassland moved here, they cut down the trees around the island and sold them to Han merchants who came by boat. Han merchants brought oil, salt, cloth and other daily necessities to exchange with the Hu people on the island.
After the plains around Essential Island were cut off from the forest, they soon turned into plump pastures. Li Yan divided Essential Island into Essential State. Old Duer's Luoyun tribe was supported by Li Yan and became the largest tribe in Essential State. At the same time, Sochel, the head of the Essential State, became the first governor of Essential State.
On a large plain southeast of the Essential Island, a large river flows out from the forest in the center of the island. It flows into the sea through the plain. On one of the relatively flat river beaches, two brown bears are drinking water and catching fish in the river. Occasionally, some other animals come to the riverside, but they dare not get too close to the brown bear.
"可~可~" With a few crisp gunshots, the two fat brown bears let out two shrill screams, and several blood holes appeared in their chests. One of them was probably hit by the heart, so they immediately fell down and twitched for a few times. Although the other one was seriously injured, they did not die immediately. Instead, they rushed towards the place where the gun was shot, as if they wanted to tear the things that had injured themselves into pieces.
However, before the brown bear could rush to the front, more than a dozen people turned out from the woods at the shooting position. They saw that these people were wearing military uniforms of the King of Qi's mansion, muskets were on their backs, and now they were holding bows and arrows in their hands, and the tips of the arrows were all facing the brown bears rushing towards them. The leaders were two extremely burly men. They looked very ferocious and even when they looked at them, they looked like two brown bears in clothes.
Seeing the brown bear rushing, the soldiers were about to shoot the other party to death. However, they were stopped by the older and burly man in front and said, "I'm leaving this bear to me, you all retreat!"
Hearing the man's order, the young and burly man next to him said anxiously: "Father. When you came, have you promised Uncle Zhou that you will never take risks anymore?"
"Hehe. I promised not to take risks anymore, but the brown bear was already injured. There was no threat at all. Do you think I can't beat a stupid bear, Dad?" This older and strong man was Hu Li, the first fierce general under Li Yan, and the young man next to him who looked very similar to him was his eldest son Hu Qiang.
Speaking of Huli and his family, they are really poor. Aunt Hu and Lu Hong have been married for many years, but they have not been pregnant. Lu Hong is unwilling to take a concubine. As a result, the two still have no children and are now considering adopting one of Lu Qing's sons to inherit the incense of their lineage.
As for Hu Li, he didn't have a son, Hu Qiang, until he was in his thirties. He is only eighteen years old now. He looks like he was carved from the same mold as Hu Li. In addition, Hu Qiang and several sisters, most of them are big and thick. After seeing him once, Li Yan admired the strength of their Hu family's genes from his heart. In addition, he was also worried that he didn't know if these daughters of Hu Li can still get married?
Just as Hu Li finished speaking, the injured brown bear had already crossed a hundred steps and rushed towards Hu Li like a locomotive. However, Hu Li sneered twice, ran a few steps, and then collided with the brown bear fiercely.
Hu Li is the number one strong general under Li Yan and a famous strongman in the Tang Dynasty. He is two meters tall and his muscles are tangled all over his body. Judging from his appearance alone, he is no less than a brown bear. In addition, Hu Li is well versed in fighting. When he collided with the brown bear, he had already used clever force, so he not only did not get injured, but also knocked the brown bear back two steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Li held a fist as big as a casserole and hit the brown bear's chin with an uppercut. If it were someone else, this punch would probably be enough to crush the bones on the other party's chin. However, the brown bear was thick in skin and flesh, so this punch could not do anything about it at all, but it aroused its fierceness even more, and the man stood up and rushed towards Hu Li.
If it were someone else, I would probably have to dodge, but Tiger Li relied on his strength to hit the brown bear's chest with his shoulder, which suddenly knocked over the brown bear who was standing unsteadily. At the same time, the gunshot wound on its chest was also bleeding, and Hu Li's body and face were also splashed with bear blood. In addition, his back was also cut by the bear crawling. Not only did his clothes be torn, but he also suffered some skin injuries, which looked a little more tragic and bloody.
Seeing the brown bear fall to the ground again, Huli would not give it another chance. He ran a few steps to the brown bear, pressed the brown bear's head with one hand, and then clenched the other hand and used all his strength to hit it. Every time he hit the vital point behind the brown bear's ear. As a result, no matter how hard the brown bear struggled, he could not get rid of the iron fist of Huli. In addition, the vital point on his head was constantly attacked, so the bear soon lost the ability to resist, and finally stopped moving after a few roars.
"Hahaha~, please feel free. This bear is so strong. If it hadn't been injured with a musket in advance, it would have cost a lot of money to deal with it!" Hu Li saw that the brown bear finally stopped moving, and then stood up with a laugh, then took the kettle from the guard behind him and took a few sips. He looked very excited.
However, Hu Qiang next to him took a medicine bottle from his personal guard helplessly, then walked over and said, "Dad, take off your shirt, I'll disinfect your wound!"
Hu Li suffered a little scratch on his back. Although it was only skin trauma, it would be a life-threatening person if it was inflamed. So after hearing his son's words, he did not refuse. He took off his clothes and exposed his strong back. Hu Qiang poured the disinfectant alcohol in the medicine bottle on the wound and applied it evenly with a cotton swab, but his face was full of helplessness.
After being occupied by Li Yan, Japan was also classified as a separate state, named Wuzhou. Although the two major Japanese traitors, Ishikami and Suwo, were guarded by Wuzhou, they still could not help but save the situation. It is precisely because of this that Hu Li, Zhou Long and others have been stationed in Japan with their troops. Hu Qiang is at the age of time when he is time to experience it, so he was called from Taiwan to Japan by Hu Li, and now he serves as his personal guard. At the same time, he also learns military tactics with him and Zhou Long.
Hu Qiang is different from his father Hu Li. Although Hu Qiang is big and thick, he is actually a meticulous person. He likes to read since he was a child and is very knowledgeable about military tactics. Regarding this, Hu Li also thinks that his son is not like him. If Hu Qiang was not carved from the same mold as him, he would doubt whether the other party was his own species.
Now Hu Qiang follows Hu Li and Zhou Long, mainly learning their experience in leading troops and training troops. This is very consistent with Zhou Long's appetite, and he has clearly decided to accept Hu Qiang as his apprentice, intending to teach him all his knowledge. This time, Hu Li received the order from Li Yan and left Japan to go to Heiyi Island to do business. Hu Qiang naturally wanted to open his eyes.
Originally, Zhou Long wanted to come with Huli and his son, and the people had already arrived on the Hokki Island. However, the day before yesterday, because he received the news, another force in the north of Japan was ready to move, which made Zhou Long very worried, so he handed over the task to Huli and took his people back to Japan to take charge.
However, before leaving, Zhou Long forced Hu Li to make an oath and never take risks in the future! This is mainly because when Hu Li saw brown bears everywhere on the Hokkien Island, he felt itchy and actually became more powerful than the brown bear. As a result, he soon fell in love with this dangerous movement, which made Zhou Long worried that Hu Li would have an accident, so he made an oath. However, it seems that this oath is not very binding on Hu Li.
After Hu Qiang gave his father medicine, several guards worked together to lift a brown bear. Hu Qiang carried the other one by himself, and then followed Hu Li back to the camp. Speaking of which, both bears had five or six hundred kilograms. Even if a few guards worked together, they would have to replace them in a while. However, this was obviously very relaxed for Hu Qiang. After all, his muscles passed down from his family were not a decoration. Even if he was not as good as his father Hu Li now, he was not comparable to ordinary people.
