Chapter 355 Black Water

Beihai, Youdu Mountain, has been renamed Fangshan at this time.

"Honorable Lord Fengjun, this Fangshan Mountain and the surrounding area of ​​a hundred miles are all your territory!"

An old man prostrated himself in front of Fang Yuan, speaking with the most humble attitude.

"Oh? Then tell me, how much wealth do I have here?"

Fang Yuan played with a black iron dagger in his hand and asked casually.

Beside him, Wei changed into a cloth and stood holding an iron spear, followed by more than a hundred slaves.

Although they were slaves, they were specially selected by Fang Yuan. The prisoners of war from various tribes were physically strong and proficient in various fighting skills. As long as they were trained a little, they could be used to great effect.

Being able to buy these is naturally because of the reward from King Xia.

After holding the ceremony of enshrining the emperor, Xi also bestowed a lot of wealth, and even these slaves would not have been so easy to collect without the permission of the high-level.

In the eyes of the nobles of the Xia Kingdom, King Xi was extremely kind to this outsider.

But in fact, this is just a very common choice. Fang Yuan even received Xi's instruction to form an army, ready to go to the south of the Hundred Thousand Mountains at any time to compete with the survivors of Jiuli.

For this Jiemeng elder, the dream master from the Jiemeng is the real direct descendant!

That being the case, what else is there to say?

"My lord!"

The old man trembled, feeling some kind of pressure, and said in a trembling voice: "We have three small tribes around this mountain, with a total of 10,000 people, and we have reclaimed 15,000 mu of land. Choose more than a thousand fighters!"

In fact, everyone is a soldier at this time, and if production is ignored, three or four thousand can be pulled out, but this is unnecessary.

"15,000 mu of land? The output seems to be a little scarce...but at this time there are hunting supplements, so it's almost the same..."

Fang Yuan rubbed his chin: "Let the leaders of these three tribes come over, acknowledge my suzerainty, and offer prey and flowers to show their submission. If they don't agree, I will demote their entire tribes into slaves!"

"Obey! Your will will be carried out!"

The old man trembled all over, and immediately gritted his teeth and answered.

"Yuan... the whole mountain, and its surroundings, are all ours?"

Looking at this scene, Wei's face turned red with excitement: "Such a big fiefdom can completely move the entire Xiangyang clan here..."

"How can it be so easy to move the clan? Of course, if the clans here don't submit to me, there is no way!"

Fang Yuan said it on purpose, just to spread the word and create pressure.

At this time, after walking around a few more times, I selected a place, which was a flat land with a small stream flowing around it: "I will camp here tonight, and... I am going to delineate a few foundations and build rows of wood. Come out of the house! That's right...we still have to burn bricks, so we can't live in thatched huts all the time, can we?"

He felt very novel now, as if he was playing some kind of primitive strategy game.

Not long after, the old man arrived with three groups of people.

"Honorable Lord Fengjun, we are the leaders of the three divisions of Baishan, Heishui, and Xuandu, and we offer our loyalty to you!"

The three savage-like guys bowed their heads and presented gifts such as animal skins and flowers to express their sincerity.

"Well, as your lord, from today onwards, I will collect the items you handed over to the Xia Kingdom... Also, I want three hundred people from each of your tribes to come to my place to obey orders!"

Hearing what Xi said, the turmoil in Jiuli in the south is imminent, and an army must be established to suppress it.

"this……"

A tribe, at this time, is only a few thousand people, and three hundred people is one-tenth, and they are still strong. These three leaders are a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, they come to me to receive military training, food, grass and weapons, I will naturally provide them!"

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

"In that case, we are willing!"

Considering that this was Feng Jun's first order, the three leaders gritted their teeth and agreed.

"Very good... Come with me and inspect this Fangshan Mountain!"

Fang Yuan nodded, and walked directly into the mountain: "Is there any specialty around here, or is it dangerous?"

"Of course there is!"

A leader's eyes flashed: "In Youdu Mountain, there are all kinds of black wolves, tigers and leopards. They are ferocious in nature and invincible to mortals. They often attack our tribe and devour our population!"

"A black... beast?"

Fang Yuan listened, but thoughtful.

As the group walked, they came to the outskirts of a tribe.

There are large fields with continuous ridges and a circle of fences. Inside are some small animals. Obviously influenced by the Xia Kingdom, the tribes here have learned to breed.

"My lord, this is the Baishan Department!"

A leader came out and said proudly.

"leader!"

At this moment, a young hunter ran out from the forest, his body was covered with blood: "We met a black leopard, it ate many of us, and chased it all the way!"

"What? Don't be alert immediately!"

The leader was shocked, subconsciously clenched his weapon, and looked at Fang Yuan again.

"Black leopard, interesting! I'll go and see!"

Fang Yuan nodded and pointed at the hunter: "Follow me!"

"No!"

The young hunter was originally a warrior in the tribe, but at this moment he panicked and panicked, and was obviously strongly stimulated: "You can't go, it will kill you!"

Hoo hoo!

Suddenly, the wind howled, the bushes fell, and a huge black shadow rushed out from the mountains.

This is a giant leopard two people tall, with dark fur all over its body, glowing mysteriously in the sun, with blood dripping from its mouth, and seeing the Baishan tribe again, greed appeared in its eyes.

"Call the tribe! We fight it!"

The leader of the Baishui Department gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be rushed into the tribe by it!"

"Let me come!"

Fang Yuan did not rush, stepped on a few steps, and came to the front of the black panther like a shape-changing shadow: "Little cat, go back!"

call out!

There was a flash of black light in his hand, the black panther was stunned, and maintained a forward posture. Suddenly, the huge leopard's head fell off, and the blood was like a fountain.

"This this……"

The three leaders were all stunned.

Even if they summoned all the warriors in the tribe, they could only kill this kind of beast by using traps, and even suffered heavy losses. But now, this new lord just waved his hand, and his head fell off?

Such overwhelming force immediately made them lose all thoughts.

"Haha... look silly? Yuan is the number one warrior who has killed the great monster Wu Zhiqi, so what is a mere black panther?"

Wei laughed and said, looking at Fang Yuan's back full of pride.

"grown ups!"

In an instant, the leaders of the three tribes were truly convinced and came to Fang Yuan to salute.

"Well, let the people in the tribe share this meat!"

Fang Yuan looked at the black leopard's body, and an inexplicable color appeared in his eyes: "I want to go into the mountain to have a look!"

Seeing this, several leaders moved their lips, wanting to say that this mountain is very dangerous, but thinking of Fang Yuan's force, they immediately fell silent.

...

Among Fangshan.

Fang Yuan pushed aside a bunch of vines, and asked casually, "Apart from black beasts, what else is there on this mountain?"

"There is also black water, flowing across the cracks in the ground, corroding the earth's atmosphere, and no vegetation will grow wherever it passes!"

Blackwater leader said.

"Huh? Take me to see!"

Fang Yuan's heart moved, and he came to a place where the ground was cracked. Sure enough, he saw pools of black water in the low-lying area, which seemed to be gushing out from the bottom of Jiuyou, which was daunting.

"Okay, let's go back!"

After confirming this scene, he didn't stay long and went back home directly.

Only Wei, who was closest to him, could hear Yuan repeating his murmur: "There is a saying in the "Shan Hai Jing": There is a mountain in the North Sea, called the mountain of Youdu. The black water flows out, and there are mysterious birds, Black snake, black leopard, black tiger, black fox with puffy tail."

"Yuan, what are you talking about?"

She was confused and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing... the leader of Blackwater!"

Fang Yuan laughed: "From now on, I will only need this kind of black water for your tribe's offerings. It won't be difficult for me to collect it, right?"

"It's not difficult, of course it's not difficult!"

The leader was startled, and immediately agreed in haste.

"This black water looks so dirty, what do you want it for?"

Wei was even more puzzled when she heard this, and asked immediately after the three leaders were sent away.

"I'm going to... use it as a weapon!"

Fang Yuan smiled secretly: "If there is no magical power of the witches, this original Youdu, today's Fangshan, might be the foundation of the emperor!"

After this investigation, he has determined that, in fact, this black water is oil in its original state!

Of course, without a complete set of industrial systems, even if a large oil field is discovered, it would be useless, but there are still not many problems in primary utilization.

In this respect, Fang Yuan doesn't mind imitating the ancients, such as...Byzantium!

Wei was even more confused.

"Go and collect a batch of brass, wood pipes, and a group of craftsmen, and I will tell them how to process Greek fire!"

Fang Yuan spoke directly.

good!

What he wanted to come up with at this time was a little invention called Greek fire.

This is a liquid combustion agent made of petroleum, known as flowing fire, which can spray and hurt people, and most importantly, it cannot be extinguished by water!

'Although there are still a few technical problems, but this world has supernatural powers, and I myself have mastered the ability to control fire, so I can still solve it by detour... In fact, if it is a world where the extraordinary is not obvious, this is the rising power. Now, being able to make ordinary people suddenly grasp flames is still a killer move in military battles! Used well, it can determine the outcome of a war! '

Fang Yuan thought silently.

Of course he doesn't need these things himself, but the ordinary people under him definitely need them.

Even the most primitive incendiary weapons were sufficient for ordinary warfare in the pre-Qin era.

Even if the opponent is the people of Jiuli, it is impossible for everyone to awaken their supernatural powers, and most of them must be mortals, which can come in handy.
