Cooperation with the Gosari Tribe
After 15 minutes, the bird flew back, chirping to the guard. Other than that one guard, the others might not understand anything.
“The leader said that the ruler of Java Dwipa can only bring two people to follow him. As for the rest, they had to wait outside the mountain fortress.”
“How can we do that? We must protect the safety of His Majesty.” The hood could not hold back and shouted.
"This is what the leader says, you must follow him." Said the guard.
Dudung wanted to argue but Heru Cokro stopped him, smiling, "Because that's the case, Captain Dudung and Mahesa Boma will follow me!"
Mahesa Boma is Wiro's oldest student and is the first army sergeant.
“Baginda, this is too dangerous. Why don't we just break down the fort.” The hood clearly did not trust them.
"That's right Your Majesty, this is really too dangerous." Latansa tried to persuade him.
“No need to persuade me. I believe that their leader is not a reckless person. Barbarians are often arrogant and if they want to attack us, they already do.”
Seeing that they could not persuade him, everyone had to accept him. Latansa turned around and shouted to the guards, "You listen, if anything happens to our ruler, Java Dwipa will trample on you."
The guard let out a cold snort after hearing his threat and did not reply.
Heru Cokro did not care, he led Dudung and Mahesa Boma to follow the guards who entered the mountain fortress. When they entered, the guards returned to his post and another barbarian took over.
Along the way, Heru Cokro managed to see the beauty of the mountain fortress, chatting with the two about it. The fortress has its own uniqueness, simple, sturdy, and built roughly. The barbarians passing by, after seeing these few visitors still laughing and talking at such a time, showed respect to them, no wonder they were able to accept the invitation of the leader.
Joseph Anshori brought important members of the tribe to greet them in the meeting room.
“Parents from afar, welcome to Gosari Tribe!” Yusuf Anshori announced loudly.
Heru Cokro smiled and exclaimed, "Thank you very much to the leader at your invitation, and have allowed me to see the sight of the barbarian tribe."
Yusuf Anshori's face relaxed and warmly said, "Please come in!"
"All right!" Heru Cokro followed behind him and walked into the meeting room.
After the two of them sat down, Yusuf Anshori cut off the pleasantries and said, “Paduka Jawa Dwipa, yesterday your people said that they want to cooperate with our tribe, what are the details?"
“Dear leader, I came to find a friend. It does not matter if the cooperation is successful, Jawa Dwipa will give you one hundred thousand units of rice for free.” Heru Cokro hung a carrot in front of them.
When he said those words, Yusuf Anshori was clearly confused.A hundred thousand units of rice could feed them for 3 months. Such generosity immediately made them look at it positively, resulting in less hostility towards them.
Yusuf Anshori was shocked but as the leader he would not easily lose his attitude. "Thank you for your gift, our tribe thanks you."
“Cooperation there are 3 conditions. First, your tribe went down the hill and lived in Kebonagung. Second, your tribe can choose your soldiers to work in the Javanese army of Dwipa and we will pay their salaries. Lastly, your tribe will help us mine minerals, stones and we will pay his salary.” Heru Cokro proposed three methods.
“Our tribe has long lived here, going down the mountain to stay there is difficult to do.” Joseph Anshori rejected the first method.
"How much is the salary of those who serve in the army?" Joseph Anshori asked.
Hearing his question, Heru Cokro felt relaxed, because the big fish seemed to have bitten the bait, “ Normal soldiers would be given a salary based on their rank. If you turn it into rice, at least 10 units and at most 90 units. Based on your soldier's standards, I'll give you a salary of 50 padi.”
Joseph Anshori nodded his head and did not show any expression, continuing his question, "As for the third method, can you explain it."
"of course. Based on my knowledge, this area has silver and gold resources as well as many rare ores. If your tribe can find this ore, then Jawa Dwipa will pay you as compensation.” Heru Cokro knew that in his past Sambari Hakim had found a gold mine through the barbarian mountains.
"Please sit down for a minute, we need to talk about this." After saying that, Yusuf Anshori arranged for the tribe members to stay in the room with them and he himself went to the backyard.
The great shaman was in the backyard, such a big decision could not be made only by Joseph Anshori, so he had to ask the great shaman.
After listening to Joseph Anshori's message, he remained silent. After some time he finally said, “This Paduka is a smart person. 3 months ago the Haji Pipit bird told me that not too long ago, not too long ago, people will come from outside with daggers and mine the wilderness. These people are our chance to achieve prosperity or what causes us to die.”
"Since that's the case, let's attack them!" yusuf Anshori.
“We can't be so careless. This master came sincerely and he might be able to help us out of our bad situation. We can send people to join their forces. As for rice, we should get it quickly to solve our food problem.”
"Alright, how many warriors should be arranged?”
“First generation soldiers should not be too much but we should choose the best. Let's choose 200. In addition, send Pendil Wesi who thinks fast and brave for training.”
Heru Cokro purposely mentioned that their salary had to do with their skill level so as not to let the tribe send some bad soldiers to increase their numbers, it obviously worked.
"I will follow your orders!" Yusuf Anshori said excitedly. Pendil Wesi's ability was at the top of the hunting team and was also the greatest threat to him. Now that the grand shaman had sent him away, he was of course happy.
After Yusuf Anshori left, Pendil Wesi, who had just been mentioned, came out and said respectfully, "Great Shaman, you arranged for me to go to Java Dwipa, do you have any other orders?"
“Pendil Wesi, don't think too much about it. When you go there, you have to treat yourself as part of it. You must be loyal to your master. I feel like this master will be the ruler of all of Gresik. This is an opportunity for our people.” The great shaman actually wanted to keep some things away from Joseph Anshori.
“Yusuf Anshori is too conservative that it hinders progress. You are different, you are smart and adaptive. This time, going to Java Dwipa is an opportunity. Do you understand?" The great shaman said.
"I understand!" Pendil Wesi nodded his head.
"good. Get ready and choose your best soldiers! Don't squiggle the honor of the Gosari Tribe!”
"Yes!" Pendil Wesi turned around and left.
In the front yard meeting room, Yusuf Anshori told Heru Cokro the decision of the great shaman. Hearing the decision, Heru Cokro was very happy, because the results of the cooperation had exceeded what he expected.
"Great leader, let's work well together!" Heru Cokro laughed.
"All right!" After agreeing to cooperate, Yusuf Anshori released Andika and the others.
