Chapter 498 One Hundred Thousand Islands
Chapter 498 One Hundred Thousand Islands
When Lu Bu's side was in full swing, Dongli Lilang ran over and asked Lu Bu and the others to build the camp closer to their base camp.
Lu Bu was a little surprised. He thought that the ancient spirits would wish that the people on his side were as far away from them as possible, so as not to compete with them for the island's resources.
After questioning, Lu Bu found out that Feilong Island was not peaceful.
Guling fruit is ripe twice a year, once in summer and once in early winter.
There is a bigger island, a big tribe, basically they will come to plunder when the ancient spirit fruit is ripe.
This group is very special "four five zero", not only strong, but also has the speed of wolves, very difficult to deal with bandits.
The ancient spirits called this group of people the werewolves.
They have fought countless battles with the werewolves, but unfortunately they have never taken advantage of it.
Fortunately, the werewolves seemed to be only interested in the ancient spirit fruit. If the ancient spirit tribe did not stop them from picking the ancient spirit fruit, the werewolf tribe would not take the initiative to attack.
This also led to a tacit understanding between the ancient spirit tribe and the werewolf tribe. The ancient spirit fruit forest at the southeast end was not picked by the ancient spirit tribe in exchange for peace.
It’s just that in recent years, the size of the werewolf tribe seems to have increased, and the ancient spirit fruit at the southeast end can no longer satisfy them. It is very likely that their appetite will become bigger and bigger. .
Hearing this, Lu Bu finally understood why the Ancient Spirits surrendered so easily.
It turned out that these dwarves were not idiots and cowards, but wanted to use the power of these Ming Dynasty people to fight against the werewolves.
Although the Ancient Spirits had ulterior motives, they had worked very hard in the previous battle with the Tartars. If it wasn't for them, even if they won, they would have suffered heavy losses.
Everyone is desperately trying, so naturally they can't do too much.
"Since the werewolf tribe has a soft spot for the ancient spirit fruit, why don't they just occupy Feilong Island?" Lu Bu asked.
"I don't know either. Maybe the island where they are located is better than here?" Dongli Lilang smiled wryly.
Lu Bu's heart moved, and he said, "How much do you know about Hundred Thousand Islands?"
Of course, it is impossible for Lu Bu to be satisfied with a mere Flying Dragon Island.
"The closest island to our Long Snake...Feilong Island is an uninhabited archipelago. The place is quite large. There are a few islands that are bigger than our Feilong Island, but they lack fresh water resources and are not suitable for too many people. They live in groups, so there are dense forests, and there are quite a lot of wild beasts and poisonous insects, and no one dares to live there. We dare not go to the islands farther away. It is necessary to take risks."
Lu Bu nodded, and said: "Although your motives for submitting to me are not pure, but I don't mind. From now on, the Ancient Spirit Clan will be a part of my imperial family of Ming Dynasty, and protecting the Ancient Spirit Clan is a matter of course!"
Dongli Lilang expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, our Ancient Spirit Clan will definitely be loyal to His Highness.
"Well, you arrange manpower to assist us in logging, and use it to build the city and resist the werewolves.
"As ordered, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Go!"
Lu Bu sent Dongli Lilang away, and asked a soldier where Wang Chengen was....
Although Wang Chengen is a eunuch, he is also the most prestigious one in the team, and it is most suitable for him to preside over the logging and construction work.
Lu Bu called him and told him about the werewolves.
Wang Chengen was worried: "Your Highness, our soldiers plus the crew are only two hundred and eight people now. I'm afraid we won't be able to protect the ancient spirit clan!"
Lu Bu smiled and said: "The ancient spirit tribe surrendered to us, so we must protect them. Before killing the Tartars, the ancient spirit tribe did not stand idly by. Don't chill the hearts of the ancient spirit tribe. As for the manpower, I have already made plans ." 050207404F102030]
Wang Chengen's eyes lit up, and he said: "Our population problem is the most serious. With only two hundred of us, and all of them are all men, how can we spread out our branches and carry on the family? How many years will we have to stay here? Woolen cloth?"
"The coastal area of Fujian is so big that the population is not a problem. Also, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, many people have traveled across the oceans to live in the Nanyang area. It is actually not difficult for us to establish our own power 0.3 and grow, because we It represents the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty. However, before absorbing the population, we must have a solid base, sufficient food, and be able to give them the confidence and reason to defect to us, so we need to build a large scale.”
"Well said!" A voice came from behind.
You don't need to look back to know that it is Zhu Zu.
"His Royal Highness." Wang Chengen knelt down and saluted.
Zhu Zu had an admiring expression on his face, and his eyes sparkled brightly: "What the prince said is very true, you have finally grown up."
