Chapter 341 Southern Stronghold
On New Year's Eve, although there are annual celebrations, it is much quieter than in previous years.

After the celebration, Wang Lang spent a rare reunion year with his family.

Although he became the emperor and reached the pinnacle of power, he suddenly felt that he was so tired. What he longed for was to be a faint king who wakes up and takes power in the world, and lives a life of incomparable elegance, but the reality forced him to do nothing. A moment of respite.

From the tribal leader to the emperor of the empire, you face one threat after another all the time.

That night, Wang Lang drank a lot of wine, and in a daze, he seemed to see his parents smiling at him in the sky.

Amidst the doubts of the crowd, Wang Lang knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards the void.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Wang He asked puzzled.

"He, kneel down!" Wang Lang said seriously.

Hearing this, Wang He looked back at his mother in puzzlement.

Seeing Fanxing nodded slightly, she knelt down beside Wang Lang.

"Kowtow to your grandpa and grandma!" Wang Lang said slowly.

"Father, you drank too much, grandparents are not here." Wang He said.

Wang Lang said with a straight face: "Nonsense, your grandparents are clearly watching me here, can't you see that they are there?"

As he spoke, he pointed to an empty place in front of him.

Wang He sighed, it seemed that his father really drank too much, but in order not to make Wang Lang angry, he had no choice but to kowtow to the front.

Wang Lang nodded in satisfaction and said, "If you didn't have your grandparents to raise me up, how could there be such a bastard like you."

Wang Lang stood up with a wry smile, staggered towards the bed, and soon there was a soft snoring sound.

Fan Xing asked the others to step down and took care of Wang Lang himself.

On the New Year's Eve in the early days, when the family gathered together, in the barracks, in order to boost morale and alleviate the soldiers' homesickness, Wang Lang specially asked the Ministry of War to distribute rewards for the soldiers.

On this day, trading stations around the world sent abundant supplies to the army for labor.

In the new barracks where Zhou Xiong was located, there were constant shouts. This group of energetic men was celebrating the very popular wrestling in Xia Kingdom.

This kind of competitive activity handed down from the tribal era has become an activity for soldiers to vent their excess energy in the army.

Watching the competition between the two strong men in the arena, this group of drowsy military men screamed excitedly. Even the cold weather could not stop the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Cheer for the side you support.

On this New Year's Eve, the people of Xia Kingdom celebrated this sacred festival in different ways.

At the end of the new year on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang He bid farewell to Wang Lang, and returned to the military camp with his comrades on a giant deer.

Now the eastern part of the mainland of China has completely become the territory of human beings. Facing the threat of human beings, the beasts entrenched here are far away from the gathering places of human beings. Even on the deserted roads, it is rare to see wild beasts. .

Even when encountering wild beasts occasionally, after seeing the figure of human beings, they subconsciously avoid them far away. After massacres, the wild beasts all know that human beings are a very terrible hunter.

Wang He returned to the barracks a month later with a smooth journey.

The place where Wang He is stationed is a small town on the eastern coastline called Tonghai City. The small town is just a county seat with a small population. The people who live here, besides farming for a living, their main source of income is going to Brother Ocean fishing.

The coastal waters here are rich in fish, and there are no large sea beasts. With such natural advantages, the living standard of Tonghai City is even better than that of some inland counties.

The army was stationed ten miles south of Tonghai City. After returning to the barracks and reporting to the chief, Wang He returned to the busy training.

The officers all knew Wang He's identity, but they didn't treat him any differently because of his status as the prince.

With Wang Lang's example, even if the children of Xia Guo's senior officials are very ineffective, there are no dandy children. The prince is so noble that he can put down his identity and start as a soldier. If other people do something, people will complain. Their respective fathers could beat them to death without Daxia's laws.

After two years of training, Wang He is already very familiar with military skills, as long as he has seen blood, he is a veteran.

In the barracks, officers at all levels continuously drilled the soldiers for formation training. The uniform pace and loud slogans made people excited.

Lin Shupi looked at the troops practicing on the school field, and said with pride: "With such a majestic army, they will definitely protect my summer!"

"What the chief soldier said is very true. With such high-intensity training, these recruits have made great progress. I believe that they will be able to reach the level of fighting the enemy in a short time." An officer laughed.

Lin Shupi nodded and said: "You have all seen those firearms from years ago, I believe they will be equipped with the army in a short time, and with the help of firearms, I want to see how those dinosaurs can compete with us .”

"Chief soldier, those firearms are really magical weapons. They can be said to be corrupted for miles in one shot. There is also the Ten Thousand Arrow Chariot, which is also an amazing weapon. The gunpowder is really a god-given thing to us." The officer beside him was excited. Said.

Lin Shupi chuckled and said, "Oh, God? It's enough to tell ordinary people about that thing, and this is what gave us these things."

He pointed to his head as he spoke.

Everyone looked at Lin Bark in puzzlement, listening to the meaning of his words, the gods were not worth mentioning in his eyes, which surprised them quite a bit.

Xia Guo will hold sacrificial activities on every major festival and major military operation, which shows the importance of worshiping heaven and offering sacrifices to gods in the hearts of Xia Guo people.

Seeing their wide-eyed and narrow-eyed looks, Lin Shupi sneered and said, "What are gods? Gods are just our spiritual sustenance. Everything we have in Daxia today is bestowed by the gods, not through us." Wisdom, our hands, built civilization from this barbaric area, if it weren't for these, how could we have clothes to wear, and now we are still eating raw meat and stinky blood like wild animals in the wild, but what did the gods give us, life after death Well, that's a fart, who knows what will happen after death, just live every day well."

Seeing their chief utter such shocking remarks, all the officers kept silent, watching their noses, noses, noses and hearts, as if they were coming in from one ear and coming out from the other.

Lin Shupi looked at them and felt bored. His remarks were deeply influenced by Wang Lang. As Wang Lang's confidant general, he naturally followed in Wang Lang's footsteps.

Lin Shupi, who felt that he had nothing to say to these vulgar people, said slowly: "Drill these soldiers well, and be prepared to fight at any time."

"Your subordinates obey!" All the officers said in unison.

southern seas.

After spending the New Year hastily on the sea, the fleet continued to sail westward, and a month later, the fleet arrived at the sea area where the Nanhometown tribe was located.

Although Li Mu and the others can also land from other places, if someone familiar with this area leads the way, many dangers can be avoided.

The sea was calm and there was no one on the beach.

"Hometown, your people won't migrate!" Li Mu asked.

"No, we have lived here for a long time, and we will not migrate without special circumstances. I guess they are in the cave now!" Nan Guxiang replied.

Li Mu nodded and ordered the whole team to dock.

A small number of soldiers were left behind on the ship, and the soldiers who went ashore piled up supplies on the beach. Li Mu planned to build a stronghold here, and from here, the population in the south would be transferred to Xia Guo.

After choosing the location of the stronghold, Li Mu led more than 100 people and followed Nanguxiang to the cave where their tribe was located.

After walking through the jungle for half a day, everyone came to a mountain range.

"General, after turning over this small hill, you will arrive at my tribe." Nan Guxiang said respectfully.

Just in case, Li Mu asked all the staff to be on guard, and the soldiers shot their knives out of their openings and fired their arrows into the strings.

Seeing this, Nan Guxiang was shocked and said, "General, what are you doing? Aren't we here to bring them back to Xiaguo to live a good life?"

Seeing his nervous look, Li Mu smiled and said, "My hometown, don't be nervous, we are also afraid of accidents, after all, this is a barren area, and anything can happen."

Nan Guxiang breathed a sigh of relief. He had lived in Xia Guo for a year. He knew the strength of Xia Guo's army. If it was not good for his tribe, he would have no way to resist it.

Under the leadership of Nan Guxiang, everyone turned over a small hillside and finally saw traces of humans.

In front of a small cave, a fire was lit, and a group of naked savages were sitting together, drooling at the food on the fire.

One of them roared excitedly when he saw a group of people suddenly appearing in the jungle.

The rest of the savages looked this way, suddenly excited and inexplicable.

Nan Guxiang saw these familiar faces, and after seeing the life of ordinary people in the Xia Kingdom, now he saw that his own tribe lived so miserable that a roasted black piece of meat could make them so happy, his heart Some panicked.

Li Mu patted Nan Guxiang on the shoulder and didn't say much.

Nan Guxiang nodded, stepped forward, and talked loudly with the group of savages in his native language.

I don't know what Nan Guxiang said to this group of people, but I saw this group of savages dancing happily as if they had been injected with chicken blood. If he hadn't stopped them, these savages would have liked to kneel down at Li Mu's feet and bow down.

"Let's go, build the camp first, this will be my Daxia's territory from now on." Li Mu said in a deep voice.

Nan Guxiang nodded and followed the team with a group of wild men who were extremely excited.

Before leaving, the savage didn't even forget to take the lump of black meat that was roasting on the fire, but Nan Guxiang frowned when he saw it, snatched it away, and yelled at them several times. In other words, throw the meat on the ground.

The savages looked at the food on the ground with painful faces, this was their first meal in three days.

Seeing their reluctance, Nan Guxiang was furious and beat up a few people, which made them look away from the food.

Back at the camp, Li Mu asked Nan Guxiang to take care of these savages. At this time, the camp had begun to take shape, the sparse wooden fences had been erected, and the camp was busy.

At night, these savages finally understood why Nanguxiang didn't care about those barbecues. Compared with the food of these gods, the previous things were simply wasteful. The same meat can be cooked in the hands of these people. different flavors.

That night, Nan Guxiang described the prosperity of Xia Guo to his people. In his description, Xia Guo became a paradise on earth and the center of human civilization.

After talking about the threat of the dinosaurs, the savages were terrified. They were so frightened that they wanted to go to Xia Guo immediately and pray for the protection of those gods.

"General, my subordinates have something to report!" Nan Guxiang said in an unskilled language.

"My hometown! Sit down and tell me what's going on!" Li Mu waved his hands.

After sitting down, Nan Guxiang said: "General, I just learned from my tribe that some familiar tribes nearby already know about Xia Guo. They, like my tribe, yearn for Xia Guo very much. As long as I go Tell them, I believe they will join us immediately."

Li Mu nodded and said: "This is a good thing, there is no rush for this matter, after we get a foothold here, let's do these things."

"Everything is according to the general's orders." Nan Guxiang said.

"Being away for more than a year, nothing happened to your tribe, right?" Li Mu asked.

When Nan Guxiang heard the words, his expression darkened.

Seeing this, Li Mu asked, "What? Did something bad happen?"

"Many people died in the tribe, and many familiar faces were lost." Nan Guxiang sighed.

"What's going on?" Li Mu asked hastily, the army was away on an expedition, such things had to make him vigilant.

"About half a year after we left, the clan members were killed or injured while hunting. They were attacked by ferocious beasts, and many people died. Our tribe is very backward, and it is normal for such things to happen." Nan Guxiang said slowly.

Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't dinosaurs or those horrible bugs, he didn't care about mere beasts.

"Those wild beasts won't last long. If the army passes by, any wild beasts that dare to show their heads will enter our stomachs."

Nan Guxiang nodded and said: "I also told the clansmen that there are a lot of beasts here, enough for us to eat."

Half a month after the construction of the camp, it was initially completed. After preparing a few books, Li Mu felt that it was right to send out a search, and start gathering the humans living here. This place is the last wilderness gathering place on the Shenzhou Road.

A team of more than 20 people, led by Nan Guxiang and a few savages, walked towards several nearby tribes. He believed that there was such an example as himself. He could recruit these tribes only by talking to those tribes. .

　Happy New Year, fellow readers!
