Zhu Jun went down the stilt house and saw only the fire at the back door of the mountain village soaring into the sky. Hundreds of torches meandered down, covering half of the glorious light of the full moon and stars.

The people of the Karen tribe burst out from the back door. Mu Jianming pushed the crowd away and looked around and found Zhu Jun's position. He was covered in leather armor and looked heroic under the swaying of the fire. He walked to Zhu Jun in three steps and edited: "Your Majesty, obey your will, all the three hundred brothers from Shenji Camp have come, each carrying twenty kilograms of food."

Zhu Jun said: "You ask the generals to line up and then rest in the village. Don't have conflicts with the members of the Karen tribe."

"The last one will follow the order." Mu Jianming hugged his fists: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the village have already had a big fuss and said they would jointly advise him."

Zhu Jun smiled bitterly and waved his hand and said, "Go and distribute the food you brought to these natives, and I'll talk about it later if you have anything to do."

Mu Jianming nodded and turned around. Soon, the Karen people burst into a noisy cheer. In order to save rice and grain, many of them could only eat a meal of clear porridge every day. At this time, they learned that someone had sent food, no matter whether the other party was a Han or not, how could they not be happy?

Toulon's face was red, leading several elders to distribute food non-stop. His black robe was stirred in the night wind, just like his heart, and he could not calm down. A few elders who spoke coldly to Zhu Jun during the day had already come over with guilt and asked Toulon to apologize to Zhu Jun in Chinese. Toulon waved his hand and responded carelessly: "Brother Zhu is my good brother and our good friend of Heikelun. He will not be so stingy. Go back and have a good meal with your children and grandchildren. Wake up tomorrow and see how the Han brothers expel wild elephants. Elder Abu, Brother Zhu's friendship with our copycat. We must repay us well in the future. We Heikelun will never do anything to do to our friends, nor will we let our good friends suffer losses."

"Okay, I, Abu, listened to the elder. To be honest, I haven't had any water and rice in the whole day. I have nothing to do. I just pity my good grandson who is still in my infancy. Elder, did you ask the women in the village to entertain guests from afar with sweet tea?"

"You're still thoughtful, go quickly." Toulon patted the elder Abu on the shoulder.

Soon, a sweet smoke rose above the mountain village. Under the bright moonlight of the back door of the mountain village, three hundred soldiers from the Shenji Camp lined up in five rows and sat on the ground under Mu Jianming's military order. After a while, Zhu Jun walked over. He was still a little worried about expelling the wild elephant, fearing that there was a bragging element hidden in Mu Jianming's guarantee. If he didn't ask clearly, he would probably have insomnia tonight.

"Long live my emperor." Many soldiers who were sitting on the ground stood up from the ground and wanted to salute. This time Zhu Jun was much more generous to them and waved his hands quickly and said, "It's hard for all the soldiers to travel. This gift is for now. You can rest soon."

The soldiers all agreed to the promise, thanked their grace, and sat back to their original place, leaning against each other to rest.

"Mu Qing's family, follow me to the mountain village for a walk." Zhu Jun turned around and said to Mu Jianming.

Mu Jianming nodded and followed Zhu Jun along with each other until he was far away from the soldiers. Zhu Jun turned around and said, "Mu Aiqing, are you sure you will deal with the wild elephant tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty, the general will never be humiliated. This time, the general heard that you were going to let the Shenji Camp go into the mountains to kill elephants. He specially brought one hundred crossbowmen and two hundred musketeers. All of these musketeers were confiscated after the pirates were wiped out, and more than one hundred and thirty muskets were Franchisemen."

"The range and penetration of the steel crossbow are much better than that of the musket. Why do you still have to bring a musket?" Zhu Jun was secretly surprised.

Mu Jianming said: "The emperor doesn't know that wild elephants are rough and thick in flesh and large in size. Neither steel crossbows nor muskets can effectively kill them. Therefore, hunting wild elephants must be mainly deterrent. When the musket is fired, it sounds loud and blue smoke comes out. The wild elephants don't know what this is, and they will definitely escape in panic. At that time, we will seize the opportunity and shoot thousands of bullets at once. Not to mention wild elephants, even if they are ten times larger than wild elephants, they will be sure to beat them into sieves."

Zhu Jun nodded as if he had some insight. Seeing Mu Jianming being very sensible, he finally felt a clear idea. It was the first time he heard that muskets had the magical function of deterring opponents. In fact, it would be very reasonable to think about it carefully. In this era of cold weapons, let alone wild elephants, even humans at that time could maintain their original morale after tens of thousands of guns were fired at the same time.

Isn't it a better way to kill the enemy at a long range with a steel crossbow and use muskets to supplement the enemy with deterrence when it approaches.

"I understand. After you go back, you go and say hello to the craftsmen. I heard that Chen Sanxi's musket was well made. Give him a Fran machine musket, let him learn from his strengths and weaknesses, and make a batch of muskets for me. Later, the Divine Machine Battalion is divided into two groups, one group to train steel crossbow shooting, and the other group to train the attack methods of muskets. You might as well mix them together during the drill, and maybe you can get miraculous effects."

The process of seeking strength can also be called a process of seeking change. Those who are determined to be self-confidence will perish, and those who seek new reforms will be strong. If you can find a new path through trying and study a new set of tactics, the benefits you gain will be self-evident. Since ancient times, Shang Yang's reforms of the Qin Dynasty and King Wu of Zhao's Hu clothing, riding and shooting are all the basis of the hegemony of the strong country. Zhu Jun is a modern person. He knows that although blind reforms harm people, summarizing a new set of paths through exploration is the way to survive.

The bright moonlight hangs in the sky, and the stars shine with bright spots and embellish the dark sky, sprinkling light. Although they cannot shine everywhere and illuminate the sky, they are still so dazzling.

The next day.

Three hundred soldiers ready to go began to gather at the front door of the mountain village, and around them were filled with onlookers. They wanted to see what these Han people were relying on to expel the elephant group.

Mu Jianming held the hilt of the sword inserted slanted around his waist and looked around. Seeing that the time was almost over, he raised his hand and shouted: "Brothers, prepare to set off."

"Commander Mu has an order, prepare to set off!" The messenger shouted in his throat.

Krak... After a wave of friction in the armor, the soldiers stood up straighter.

Mu Jianming stepped on the square foot, and the military boots creaked the mud under his feet. He swept around and said to the straight and straight soldiers standing: "I will not say much nonsense. I will advise you to take one step back and forth, no mercy will be executed immediately!"

"We will never dare to violate military orders." The soldiers responded.

Zhu Jun walked slowly with the Black Karen Elder Toulon. The onlookers made way out of a corridor. They saw Zhu Jun's eyes becoming respectful and enthusiastic.

"The Han people are not all bad people, just as we Karen tribe have bad people, such as these noble guests who work tirelessly to drive out wild elephants, bring us food, and even food. They are our saviors and our best friends to rely on."

This is what the elders in the Heikron village said in person. The elders and elders are wise men of the Heikron tribe, and every word they say cannot be questioned.

Some people have already set up the incense platform, and a few natives come out with jars of rice wine. These are some of the only luxury goods left in the copycat.

Toulon's face was solemn. He raised his hand and stopped the people who were talking about it. He said loudly in Karen's voice: "The people of the tribe, we were blinded by hatred in the past. Brother Zhu's great kindness not only made Toulon remember it in his heart, but also made me realize that the Han people were not all conscientious. Today, Brother Zhu and I swear to each other here, from now on, we will become brothers, share wealth and hardships, and never let each other down. Today, the people of the tribe are here to testify. If Brother Zhu is in trouble, in water and fire, if I, Toulon, frown, I, should be cut into pieces, and my descendants will not die well."

Before the tribesmen could recover, Toulon picked up a dagger from the incense table and cut his fingers, dripping blood into the bamboo tube containing half a barrel of water on the incense table.

Zhu Jun repeated it in Chinese. Before he finished speaking, Mu Jianming on the other side was so scared that his chin was about to fall off. The emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to be a brother to a local chief, which was great.

"Emperor." Mu Jianming stepped out.

"You don't have to say it anymore. I know what you are going to say, and I know what you are doing. You don't need to advise you. After you go back, I will explain to Master Mu." Zhu Jun had stopped Mu Jianming's words.

He had considered this issue for half a night. The so-called great power of the Celestial Kingdom, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, is just a gimmick. At this point, who would take you seriously? If he still claims to be a Chinese dynasty and claims to be respectful, it will only make the local people around him even more disgusted. If he wants to gain a foothold, he can only let go of his figure and win over any forces that may be attracted, so that he can pull the tiger's skin and get the greatest benefits.

The Karen tribe is the second largest tribe in Myanmar, with a population of 700,000 and has always been hostile to the Burmese King. If it can be used slightly, it will be like a tiger with wings for Zhu Jun. Who else can Zhu Jun be afraid of in this southern Myanmar, which is thousands of miles apart?
