Dozens of large sailboats carry grain, cloth, salt and tea, and some iron tools.

Ganqi stood at the bow of the boat and watched the big ship ride the wind and waves.

On the left side of Gan Qi was standing Gan Ba ​​Zhou Tong and a team of iron-armored soldiers. On the right side of Gan Qi, Wanyan Wuguru stood with a large waist knife on his waist, he was slightly short, and was still in the development stage. There was no warning and fierce expression on his face, leaving only a youthful and immature look.

Behind Uguru, there were more than a dozen Wanyan Jurchens standing.

From the northernmost Jiangkou of the Korean Peninsula, it was Dandong City in Liaoning Province, to the west was Liaoyang Prefecture, and to the north, it entered the territory of Huiba tribe. Huiba tribe was the Jurchen people.

The Jurchens, in the era when the Wanyan tribe did not really rise, were collectively known as Jurchens and Nuzhi, which generally referred to many tribes surrounded by several mountains, including Daxinganling, Little Xing'anling and Changbai Mountain.

The Northeast Plain in later generations was the plain surrounded by these three mountains. In the Song Dynasty, most of them were Jurchens. Although the plain here was vast, the plain was only on the terrain. There were more endless jungles and even swamps. There were plants and trees taller than people on the swamps. It was completely different from the Northeast Plain in later generations.

From the river mouth, Ganqi brought more than 500 iron armor and many frames. Most of the horses that pulled the cart were purchased from Yanyun, not many, about 100 horses.

There is still a benefit in the Northeast Plain. Although there are many trees, the terrain is relatively flat. When horses are pulled and people are pushed, the frame can be shuttled through the forest, and the Jurchens can also ride horses and run around the forest.

Things like forests become more sparse as they go north, and the more they go north, the fewer weeds. Even the trees in the north have smaller crowns than those in the south and the leaves are smaller than those in the south.

The forests in the south are very dense, with crowns of branches and leaves that hide the sky and sun, and layers of low woods under them. If you reach the tropical rainforest, it will be so dense that it makes you have nowhere to take your feet.

The biodiversity of northern forests is far less than that of the south, and the food chain is much weaker.

This is the difference in climate.

This climate difference actually limits the development of human beings. Humans in cold forests have a gap in the development of civilization than Wen Ling. The population size gap is even larger, because in the cold climate, the output in the forest is too small, and naturally there are fewer people to support. After the Jurchens unified a large number of tribes, they could only raise three thousand people when they launched an army to fight against Liao.

It is impossible for tribes in the forest to live in large groups, because if too many people gather together, they will not find enough food. Only by scattered in the forest can the entire forest be fully utilized.

In fact, the same is true for grasslands. The land production of grasslands is too low for humans. Central Plains civilization, where farming places, the grain produced by one or two acres of land is enough to support a population.

However, the grass grown on the grassland is only enough for a sheep to eat for a few days. After a sheep grows for several months, the sheep is only enough for a person to eat for a few months. In this way, how many acres of grassland can be needed to feed a person on the grassland?

The population gap is this simple truth.

It can also be seen how great progress it has been made in the transition from fishing and hunting civilization to farming civilization. This land in the Northeast was not until the Jurchens truly established the Great Jin Kingdom and truly came into contact with the farming civilization.

The Wanyan Jurchens brought real farming to the Northeast Plain. Later, the rise of Manchus also benefited from the farming production in the Northeast Plain. Without farming, the Manchus' army would not talk about the Eight Banners, but could only fight against the high walls of the Ming Dynasty like the Jurchens.

After Ganqi got ashore, he unloaded a lot of goods and conducted a simple rest at the estuary.

Ganqi also took out more than a dozen pairs of iron armor and placed them on the ground, then called Uguru to his side, and began to make a move: "Put it on, Wanyan people, wear it, put it on your body!"

"Wear?" Uguru also learned from Ganchi to make a move to wear.

"Yes, wear it." Now the communication between Ganqi and Uguru is getting smoother and smoother. Ganqi's focus is still teaching Uguru to speak Chinese, and Uguru also learns very quickly. It is the time for young people to learn, and they will remember many words and words after teaching them once.

"Okay, I, I, wear, this..."

"Iron armor, this is called iron armor, Buren armor, remember? Iron, armor made of iron... also called Buren armor." Ganqi was still very patient and did not waste any opportunity to teach Uguru to speak Chinese.

"I wear this iron armor and the marching armor." Uguru would also repeat the words of Ganqi's teaching.

"Your tribe members and Wanyan tribe members are all wearing them." Gan Qi said again.

"Okay, thank you." Uguru grinned, smiling particularly brightly. Along the way, he had already drooled at the iron armor on Gan Ba ​​and others, but he could not speak, so he could only let Gan Qi give it. This is the strict upper and lower level.

Uguru had already stepped forward and started wearing iron armor, but the process was not going smoothly. The Great Song Bu Ren Jia was so troublesome.

Ganba looked at the back of Uguru's head with a big slap, and then laughed and said, "I'll help you wear it."

"I... wear it myself." Uguru was not angry, but he was also stubborn.

"Hey, who are you?" Gan Ba ​​was not angry, knowing that Uguru followed suit.

"I am you, I am Uguru, you are me."

Ganba laughed loudly and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I am I, you are Uguru."

Ganqi laughed repeatedly when he heard this. He turned around and took out some things from a frame, placed them on the ground, and said, "Uguru, bow, crossbow, which one do you want?"

While dragging his armored skirt, Uguru came to Ganchi and asked, "Bow? Crossbow?"

"This is a bow, this is a crossbow, which one do you want to use?"

"Bow, Uguru wants a bow, Wanyan people, bow."

Ganqi picked up a standard bow and handed it to Uguru: "Try it."

Uguru took the bow, pulled it casually, and staggered. He looked at Gan Qi in surprise, and used his strength to pull the bowstring. His face turned red. He slowly pulled the bowstring, as if he had used all his strength, and then slowly let go of the bowstring.

"Bow, good, good bow, Wanyan bow, bad, your bow, good!" Uguru was very excited and looked at the bow repeatedly. He wanted to see why this bow was so good.

Gan Qi was also laughing. He thought that Uguru, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, was too young to pull the standard longbow in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that this kid would pull it all over.

As for the difference between Wanyan bow and the Song bow, it is actually one reason, the difference in social development level. In the field of ordnance production, the Central Plains dynasty has been crushing other ethnic groups around him. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, one of the countries in many Central Plains could fight nomads and run away with their heads. When the Han Dynasty invented the crossbow, they shot Huns into hedgehogs, and when the Tang Dynasty crushed the Turks, the four-meter-long Ma Shuo assassinated countless Turks and would not break them. This is the difference.

The Khitan Liao people only greatly improved their military level since they won Yanyun and millions of Han people.

At this time, the Jurchens' social level was still far from that. The bows made were almost only used to tickle the iron armor on Gan Ba's body.

"Bow, you have more than ten of them, Wanyan people, and spears, you will be brought here soon, it's yours." Gan Qi wanted to arm his dozens of Wanyan people to his teeth, let them smell the smell of the forest and open the way for him.

Uguru was so excited that he jumped left and right like a child, calling friends, both iron armor, waist knife, hard bow, long spear, well-made straight arrows, sharp iron-headed arrows.

He was already dazzled.

Gan Qi actually felt a sense of accomplishment at this moment.

A sense of accomplishment.

"Uguru, go, go to Wanyan." Ganqi urged.

"Okay, I'll wear it, go to Wanyan." Uguru suppressed his excitement, carried a lot of iron armor, looked at it with his left hand and his right hand, a little anxious.

Ganba's fat slap hit Uguru on the back of the head again: "I'll teach you how to wear it."

"I'm wearing it, I'm wearing it." Uguru was no longer stubborn this time. He really didn't know how to wear this iron armor. But he really thought Ganba's name was "I'm".

Gan Ba ​​helped Uguru wear iron armor with all his hands and feet. The rest of Wanyan people followed suit and dressed almost the same thing. After passing this thing once, you will naturally understand. The Jurchens are not stupid.

"I, go to Wanyan." Uguru's excitement had not yet dissipated and waved to Ganba.

Gan Ba ​​was laughing: "Good son, go Wanyan."

Uguru smiled foolishly, taking the lead, with more than a dozen Wanyan iron-armored men and a rope, leading twenty slaves strung together.

Go north.

Huiba tribe belonged to the half-breed Jurchens. Sometimes they would listen to the Liao Kingdom's orders and even pay tribute. Sometimes they rebel against the Liao Kingdom and stopped paying tribute and even rob the Liao people.

However, Wanyan and Huiba still have a grudge. The grudge in the forest cannot be found, but there is a grudge anyway. It may be because of a roe deer, maybe because Huiba people have also been a ghost, maybe because they didn't meet a look.

Uguru in the forest can smell the smell of humans. This is an innate sixth sense. Maybe it is not necessarily done by smelling it, but seeing traces on the ground. Maybe it is a feeling.

He raised his hand and looked back at Gan Qi in front of the team.

Ganqi asked in the direction he pointed, "Who is there?"

"Okay, there are people over there, there are people." Uguru nodded and replied.

"At this time, you should say it right, not say it's OK."

"Okay nod."

"Nod, right, right. Do you understand?"

"Yes, someone, over there," said Uguru.

"Go, go." Ganqi's order was also simple.

"Yes, go, go, go, people."

"It should be said that it is OK, do you understand? It is OK at this time."

"Okay, yes, yes, yes, over there, people." Uguru couldn't turn his head. What's good, right. He didn't understand, and he said it, that's right.

Ganqi rode a horse and had already started, heading towards the direction Uguru pointed, but along the way he was still tireless to teach Uguru what to say "right" and when should he say "good".

After walking for a long time, Uguru suddenly stopped, covered his hand in his mouth, signaling Ganqi not to continue, and then pointed to a small hill.

Ganqi understood that the place was not far away, so he got off the horse and followed Uguru to climb up the hillside.

Below the mountain buns, there is a small village, a place where hundreds of people live. Looking at the wooden thatched houses, Gan Qi can calculate that there are about twenty or thirty adult men in this small village.

Gan Qi turned around and said softly: "Daiba, you bring a hundred people to the front to block it, Zhou Tong, you bring a hundred people to the back to block it."

The two nodded and left.

Ganqi pointed at himself and then at Uguru: "I, you, rush down and kill?"

"Kill, right, okay, kill." Uguru nodded repeatedly, bloodthirsty and ferocity were already in his eyes.

"Wait for a while, wait for Daiba and Zhou Tong to block both sides."

"wait?"

"Yes, wait, just don't move."

"Don't move?"

"If you don't move, you don't move. Look at me, I'll get on, you'll get on again. I understand?" Gan Qi made a move.

"Okay, right."
