Chapter 49 Little Wolf Lord
Wanyan Duo is now just a poor and widowed old man. What are the benefits of worshiping him as his father?
Of course, there is no benefit for people without ambition. But for people with ambition but no power, such as Li Luo, it is of great benefit.
Yan Duo had no money, no food, no military equipment, no official position, and it was not easy to maintain food and clothing.
However, he has tribe members and has a strong appeal to tribe members.
Li Luo has official positions, money, grain, and weapons. But he has no team. The local heroes he recruits cannot become his basic base in a short period of time.
It’s different to be Yan Duo’s “son”.
More Jurchen warriors will become the reliable force he needs most at the moment.
During the Five Dynasties and Song Dynasties, the adopted son had a high status and was not much worse than that of parent-child, and was even qualified to inherit the family business.
Seeing Li Luo and Cui Xiuning bow to Yan Duo, Du Lie and Wu Tu wanted to say something, but they remained silent in the end. This might be the best result.
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning had finished saluting, and Yan Duo smiled and held the two of them up with his own smile, looking very happy. The well-behaved Cui Xiuning quickly poured a glass of water and greeted him, "Entertainment Father."
Cui Xiuning recognized Yan Duo as her father so happily. In addition to hoping to get Yan Duo’s help, she also had emotional factors. She missed her parents very much, and recognizing Yan Duo as her father is also a kind of sustenance.
Li Luo's idea is similar to Cui Xiuning. He was abducted by human traffickers at a young age and still doesn't know who his parents are. After being abducted, his adoptive father treated him badly and kept using him as a child laborer in the porcelain kiln. Recognizing Yan Duo as his father can also make up for his regrets.
Yan Duo suddenly stood up and said seriously: "You are obeying the order. From now on, Li Luo is my husband's son, your little wolf lord, and Miss Li is your little mistress!"
Du Liewutu and the Jurchens were mentally prepared. Seeing Yan Duo so solemnly, they immediately bowed to the two: "I have met the little wolf master! I have met the little mistress!"
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning pretended to be surprised, "Entertainment Father, this..."
Yan Duo said sadly: "No need to hide it now. As a father, Wanyan Duo, the eldest grandson of Emperor Xuanzong of the Great Jin Dynasty. On the other day of the Great Jin Dynasty, he will be named the King of Dian and the Marshal of the Official Capital."
Li Luo had long guessed that Wanyan Duo was a royal family of the Jin Dynasty, but he did not expect that he was still the prince of the Jin Dynasty and the eldest grandson of Emperor Xuanzong.
"It turns out that his adoptive father was still a noble man from Tianhuang..." Li Luo said.
Wanyan Duo shook his head and sighed, "What a noble man in Tianhuang was born in the imperial family for his father. He was in the end of the world, and his vicissitudes changed many times and was drifting for half a lifetime. Now he is just a bearded farmer who is wandering in a foreign country and living under someone else's roof."
Li Luo and Choi Soo were speechless and couldn't help feeling sympathy.
The life experience of falling from the clouds and dust, not everyone can tolerate that huge gap like a natural barrier.
Wutudulie and others all looked sad. Their fathers and grandparents all died in the disaster of the Mongolian destruction of gold.
There are more than one million people slaughtered by Mongolia. A few survivors either serve as slaves or migrate to foreign lands in the border areas and are displaced.
Nowadays, although the Mongols no longer slaughter, taxes and labor service are extremely heavy, and the tribe members live very hard.
A few years ago, the wolf master led his tribe members who were unwilling to surrender several times to rise up to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, but because the Mongolian Yuan was in great power and lacked money, food and weapons, all of them suffered miserable failures.
Yan Duo said again: "Li Luo, since you are a survivor of the Central Plains, you are a hater of the Mongol Yuan. Ask you for your father, what is your ambition?"
Li Luo thought for a while and said solemnly: "The adoptive father, the Yuan Dynasty is indecent. If you can resist, you will rebel if you do so! If you cannot rebel, you will also lead everyone to a good life and no longer be bullied and enslaved!"
"Okay!" Yan Duo applauded, "As for your father, you really didn't know what you said, what you want to hear for your father. If you really succeed, what should you do to the Jurchens?"
Li Luo said without hesitation: "Treat the Han people equally and treat each other equally. Everyone has a share in the fields, mountains and lakes. Fame, wealth and honor are not divided into tribes!"
Yan Duo nodded with satisfaction and said to Du Lie and others: "You have heard it all? This is my son's promise. Where are your promises?"
Du Liewutu and others said together: "Of course, follow the orders of the little wolf master, go through fire and water, and be loyal."
Yan Duo also said: "Now all ethnic groups in the Central Plains resent the Mongolian Yuan. They often advocate righteousness and the scenery of thousands of men follows. Although they suddenly rise and fall, they continue to follow one after another. This shows that the people's will, the Mongolian Yuan is so cruel and will not last long. If you can take effect, you may not be unable to return to the Central Plains and return to your roots. If you get the help of God, it will be a success in the future."
Everyone bowed their heads and said, "As the teachings of the wolf master, I will never dare to see what I say today!"
Yan Duo said to Li Luo again: "The Jurchens who are now scattered in Goryeo are mostly old subordinates of their fathers, and now there are about 5,000 people. These people can still summon them as fathers. Under the rule of the Liaodong Road General Administration, there are still tens of thousands of Jurchen residents, all of whom migrated from the Central Plains. Some of these people still obey the orders, while others probably won't listen."
Li Luo was delighted. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Jurchen survivors on Liaodong Road, at least 5,000 people in Goryeo could serve him.
Of course, 5,000 people, including the elderly, weak, women and children, should be at most hundreds of people who can serve as elite soldiers.
The reason why they lived in scattered was of course to dispel the concerns of the Mongol Yuan and Goryeo and to show that they were willing to be obedient to the people.
Yan Duo continued: "I won't talk about it in Liaodong. Because these thousands of people in Goryeo are scattered in various prefectures and counties, they are difficult to gather in urgent need. Nowadays, only the Jurchen refugees on Jianghua Island can be used."
Du Lie interrupted, "Wolf Lord, there are now fifty elites who are serving as village heroes for the little wolf Lord. The Jurchens on Jianghua Island can still serve as elites, with only forty or fifty people at most."
Yan Duo said: "Du Lie, you are responsible for gathering these dozens of people immediately. Together, nearly a hundred people should be enough."
"Yes." Du Lie received the order.
Li Luo quickly said, "Thank you for your adoptive father."
Yan Duo shook his head: "Don't thank me first. There are loopholes in your plan, and there are still two things missing. One is that there are not enough weapons, and the second one, have you ever thought about it?"
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning looked at each other and said, "It's a sea boat."
"Not bad." Yan Duo was very pleased, "You are still short of a sea boat that can carry a hundred people. Without this boat, you can't get rid of the aftermath if you kill Turnuma. Since you know you need a sea boat, you must have a strategy?"
Li Luo said: "Yes. Er and Xiuning discussed that the ambush did not go into the city route, but landed on the sea five miles away from the Red Pine Forest, and then crossed the mountains and entered the Red Pine Forest to ambush. After the matter was completed, he crossed the mountains and left, went down the sea and sailed, making people think it was the work of pirates."
Yan Duo nodded and praised, "Your strategy is good. However, it is best to pretend to be the Sanbiao Zhuan. The Sanbiao Zhuanbao Zhuan came out from time to time to harass the Mongolians, and pretending to be the most believing."
Li Luo smiled and said, "Jiang is still the old man's spoils! What his adoptive father said is very true. Then pretend to be three and don't copy it."
Yan Duo said to Wutu: "Take a few people immediately, cross the sea to the other side of the continent, and buy a ready-made medium-sized sea boat. Then buy fifty strong bows, thousands of arrows, and fifty straight swords in Hanyang Prefecture, Jingji and other places. Remember, you must buy them in a variety of ways. Buy up to five bows at most after tomorrow."
"Yes!" Wutu received the order.
Cui Xiuning asked Wutu: "How much does it cost?"
Wu Tu thought for a while and said, "Go back to the little mistress, a medium-sized sea ship will carry 300 stones, and it will cost more than 200 stakes. A good bow costs 18 stakes, a good arrow costs 5 stakes, and a straight knife costs 4 stakes. In total, it will cost about 1,600 stakes."
Cui Xiuning was immediately distressed. No wonder it was difficult to raise soldiers. This weapon really cost money! The two thousand stagnants I got from the Liu family were about to be spent in a blink of an eye.
Chapter completed!
