1998: Wasteland

Winter is undoubtedly the most difficult season in Liaodong. For the Jurchens who live in the wilderness, the severe winter comes, and it is even more insignificant to them. In many years in the past, every time this season comes, many elderly children, Naomi, say goodbye to their relatives and stagger into the snowy field alone.

This time, it will naturally be separation from life and death.

There is no other reason, because they do not have enough food to go to the snow field and fend for themselves, leaving precious food for young and middle-aged people and young children in the tribe so that they can survive the winter.

Over the years, their lives have been much better. At least such things have not happened again. Although their lives are still difficult, they can still survive their lives.

This originated from the change in Qi's policy on giving birth to a daughter. In the past, Qi people had only one strategy for giving birth to a daughter in Liaodong. In addition to cruel exploitation, they would suppress it if they were not convinced. Even Wanyan Aguda, the leader of this generation of the birth of a daughter, was a hero who was a rare hero. After all his efforts, he finally united a loose group of daughters in a group, and was still no match for the Qi people.

They once fought outside Yanji City, the governor's office set up by the Qi people in Liaodong, but in the end, they were defeated by Prince Cao Chong of Qi in person to visit the Liaodong Peninsula. This was the closest success they had, but this time, they completely defeated the aura of having a daughter Naoto.

Fortunately, after this victory, the people of Qi did not extort them more. Instead, they reconciled with them under the leadership of Cao Chong.

Of course, taxes have to be paid, but the share paid has dropped significantly. Although it is still heavy, it will not make the Jurchens unable to survive. The exchange of troops for food also allows the Naomi Naomi to have a daughter to be famine last winter.

It is precisely because of this incident that the tribe of the daughter-in-law knew that there was a powerful country in a distant place that was comparable to Qi and could not helpless.

The life of five thousand-year-old sons was exchanged for the safety of the Zhi tribe for a year.

Wanyan Aguda has grown much older this year. His brave son, his favorite successor, died quietly in the distant Ming Kingdom, without even receiving the bones. Five thousand warriors died, which was a heavy blow to the birth of Nao Ren, who had a small population. This also greatly reduced his prestige in the entire tribal alliance. If the leaders of each tribe had not given his son, he would have overthrew him as the leader long ago.

But even so, his appeal is not as good as before.

Just when he was worried about how to survive this winter, Prince Cao Chong of Qi appeared in front of him again. Last year, there was no shortage of food, so this year, the tribe added many small children. The children are the future of the tribe, but they are also mouths.

Wanyan Aguda never thought that in that unspread land, the black water from the Demon Abyss could bring wealth to the daughter-in-law tribe. When Cao Chong made this request to him, he could not believe his ears.

He even felt that God began to favor him again. Those things that seemed to be evil spirits and dare not approach them were actually willing to spend a lot of money to buy.

Of course he was happy to see it happen.

The people of Qi spent 200,000 kilograms of grain to buy this place, and then they began to station troops here, build houses and roads. The Naotomi also gained a lot in this round of construction. After all, on this wasteland, they were more familiar with stones, woods, and sand. As long as they could get here, they could always change money from the people of Qi.

The Qi man who was in charge of this project seemed to be caught from a fire pit. He looked extremely terrifying, but he was extremely kind. He could be said to be a perfect deal with a daughter. In Wanyan Aguda's opinion, it was much more reliable than any Qi man he had ever contacted in the past.

It is really not a good person. Even Cao Chong, the prince of Qi who is considered a close friend of him, also cheated him when he sent troops to Ming Dynasty? If he told him about the real combat effectiveness of the Ming people, then he would definitely consider it again and again on this issue.

Wanyan Aguda once again saw the strength of the people of Qi. In just less than two months, the people of Qi built large houses on this wasteland, such gray buildings, with harder walls than stones. They even added steel bars to it. At that time, Wanyan Aguda felt a twitching pain in his heart. In his eyes, these were sharp swords, guns and arrows. Poor, some tribes of daughters still use wolf teeth, arrows, stone arrows, and thick wooden sticks, which are their most advantageous weapons.

In this building, it is strictly forbidden to have a daughter as straight as the inside. Even if it is as noble as Wanyan Aguda, it is not allowed to step into it. It is just that Cao Chong secretly told Wanyan Aguda that they were using these demonic waters to create some weapons against the Ming people.

Aguda didn't care how the people of Qi dealt with the Ming people. The people of Ming people were too far away from him. As long as the people of Qi could give him more food and more weapons, he didn't care what the people of Qi were going to do.

There are some things that are afraid of when a child is born. If this thing is really powerful, as long as it exists on the wasteland, one day I will be able to figure out the situation inside.

This time, Cao Chong came, not only brought food, but also gave him a large number of weapons and armor, which strengthened his headquarters' strength and was more confident in suppressing some ambitious tribes. Overall, he still welcomed Cao Chong. Although Cao Chong died a son, it was not unacceptable compared to the future and destiny of the entire tribe.

The heavy snow like goose feathers fell down, adding another layer to the already accumulated thick snowfield. Wanyan Aguda and Cao Chong walked slowly forward side by side on the snowfield. Today is the day when Cao Chong left Liaodong and returned to China. Wanyan Aguda came here to see him off.

"Aguda, my friend, are you really no longer considering sending troops to help me?" Cao Chong asked.

Wanyan Aguda shook his head vigorously: "Your Highness, please forgive me for your Qi State, I have no good feelings for you from the bottom of my heart. For many years, you have been the mountains above our heads, the sharp blades hanging on our heads, and countless tribal men who have died in the hands of you Qi State."

"That's all the past. My friend, we all have to look forward, right? Look, aren't we working together now?" Cao Chong stopped and turned around and pointed to the gray buildings in the distance. There were snow everywhere else, but there was a relationship between gray and black.

Agu smiled and said, "Your Highness, as long as you can survive, we will not provoke Ming Kingdom again. That is your enemy. Now that we can exchange these black water for food from you, why do we still need the blood of our children to exchange for!"

"I have heard that the enemy of a friend is our enemy."

"Privately, His Highness the Prince is indeed a friend to me, but for tribes, we are not friends." Aguda shook his head and said. "Your Highness the Prince doesn't have to say more, I will not send troops there."

"Aguda, my brother, I am not afraid to tell you bluntly that the Ming Dynasty is powerful. Now our Da Qi is very difficult and requires your heroic troops to help us fight. Don't think that your place is a pure land. The Ming people have powerful naval troops. If they want to attack you, it is not difficult to cross the sea. The Ming emperor has great ambitions and will never tolerate you to become his transcendent people. Our Qi Kingdom can make you the master of this wasteland, but the Ming people will not. Once we fall, their spearhead will be aimed at you."

"There is really a day that will be a battle." Aguda said indifferently. "Your Highness, Prince, I know you are worried that I will become a friend of the Ming people. To tell you the truth, that is impossible. My bravest son died in their hands. I am not willing to become a vassal of you Qi people, and of course I will not be willing to become a puppet of the Ming people."

Cao Chong sighed: "Okay, then that's it, Aguda, I hope you can protect these Chinese people well. They will not threaten your rule here, and will bring endless wealth to your tribe."

"I have seen it." Wanyan Aguda smiled and said, "I still have to rely on them to survive the difficult years, so you can rest assured that their safety is safe."

Cao Chong looked at Aguda deeply. If possible, he really wanted to uproot these daughter-born tribes, but this was impossible. Even when Qi was in full swing, they did not do it. The vast wasteland became the best place for these barbarians. Once the army arrived, they scattered into birds and beasts and fled, and could not be found at all. The long logistics supply line left the Qi army helpless. Once the logistics supply was lost, these daughter-born men would emerge from the cave like mice, and use their own poles to attack the army until the entire army was defeated.

If it cannot be removed, then it can only be comforted.

He stepped on the war horse and drove away. All the matter here was handed over to Qin Lilai to preside over. He was still very relieved about Qin Li, who was considered his old subordinate.

Looking at Cao Chong's figure leaving, Agu's smile gradually disappeared, and he turned to the people around him and said: "Try every means to figure out what kind of weapons the Qi people have made with these demon waters. If they can get the technology for production, they will be at any cost."

"yes."
