In the rolling hills and mountains, several large eastern sentinels were unarmouring and swimming by a small stream.

The ghost weather here is surprisingly bad, the climate is so different that even when the summer is almost over, the temperature is ridiculously high.

"Hey, where are you from, this is my hunting ground, please leave quickly!"

A man wearing a crest of eagle feathers and dressed in fancy clothes came to the river, shouting at the sentry riders who were making noise in the river.

Originally, everyone was playing happily, but no one noticed that a big living person jumped out of the surroundings, until the big living person shouted that the sentry riders were startled.

"What is this chicken feather talking about? Do you understand? ”

"I can't hear the birds!" A sentry quipped.

"Hahahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter, and the sentry riders continued to laugh and swim in the bath, except for a few whistling at the natives.

The Indians used the feather as a symbol of bravery, a sign of honor, and often inserted it on their hats to show off.

Possession of bird feathers symbolizes bravery, beauty and wealth, and the man wears a crown of eagle feathers, making him naturally the number one man in the nearby tribes.

Looking at these strangers in front of him, unmoved and giggling, the man suddenly got angry and threw a stone into the river very unfriendly.

Soon, an argument ensued, and a sentry jumped bare-chested from the river ashore and went up to bring down the Aboriginal man.

The two of you don't understand me, I can't understand you, scolding and scolding are entangled together.

The Indian man with the eagle feather crown did not come alone, otherwise he would not have had the courage to provoke this group of strangers.

The language barrier makes it impossible for them to communicate at all, and as long as they speak loudly, it is likely to be considered a provocation.

With the addition of more than a dozen Indians armed with wooden sticks, stone axes, and javelins, the situation deteriorated, and the sentinels of the Great Eastern Kingdom were directly shot and killed.

The outcome was not surprising, and the aborigines were brutally abused.

Not only that, but the Dadongguo sentinels, who only had a dozen people, pursued all the way, drove away all the Indians of a tribe, and captured many prisoners, and returned triumphantly.

After this incident, the language barrier became the first problem that Hong Chengchou had to solve.

Because if you want to know more about the local area, you must first learn the local language!

Language communication between different ethnic groups was a problem that the Manchus often had to face, and as the former regent of the Qing Dynasty, these were small things.

Mutual language learning is indispensable, including both the learning of the Indian language by the Han Chinese and the learning of the Han language by the Indians.

Language learning can be divided into two types according to its characteristics, one is encounteral learning and the other is systematic learning.

Under Hong Chengchou's will, many captured native Indians entered the territory of the Great Eastern Kingdom and acted as servants, translators, mistresses and other roles of the Han Chinese, which was opportunistic learning.

Systematic learning is the study of each other's language in an organized and planned manner based on a deliberate purpose.

In the period of exploration and even colonial conquest, systematic learning lacked the method and scale, and excursive learning played a key role in many places.

After tossing for a while, some people with language talent in Dadong have almost explored the language of the local aborigines.

Hong Chengchou has been an official, led soldiers, served as a regent, been a queen mother, bullied the emperor, and now he is an emperor, which can be described as a double spirit and ambition.

At the beginning of the dynasty, it had to fight several waves on the external battlefield, which is an old tradition.

In view of how to make the rise of the Great Eastern Kingdom, a task of great historical significance, Hong Chengchou has already had a countermeasure.

At this time, there were basically no colonists on the west coast of North America, and most of the colonies of European countries were located on the east coast near Europe, and the main powers were Britain, France, Portugal, and Spain.

The closest to the Great East is the fortress of Christina, which is owned by the New Swedish Company, which was acquired by purchasing land, France also has a colony in Iroquois, Spain has a colony in South America, and in North America it is mainly indigenous Indians.

In North America, there are more than 20 indigenous tribes such as Sioux, Algongen, Shoshone, Creek, Boni, Pueblo, Iroquois, etc., and there are about hundreds of thousands of people.

In the past few months, after the continuous reconnaissance of the Great Eastern Sentinels, the territory of the Great Eastern Kingdom has expanded to the area of California in the United States, and also to the territory of the Shoshone people.

The vanguard army of the Great Eastern Kingdom found that the nearby Shoshone were divided into four tribes, the West Shoshone, the Northern Shoshone, the Wind River Shoshone, and the Comanche.

Among them, the Komanche is the most powerful and the first branch of the Shoshone to form a tribe, they are good at raiding, and there have been constant contradictions since the split of the Shoshone people in the Wind River.

This also led to the union of the Wind River Shoshone and the North and West Shoshone peoples.

However, the Northern and Western Shoshone did not have a unified tribe, and were divided into loosely related family groups, subsisting on wild plant seeds, small mammals, fish, and insects, and only united with other families during large hunting or against the Komanche.

Hong Chengchou's purpose is to unify these tribes, and then continue to march east and south, constantly expanding the territory of the Great Eastern Kingdom!

As for the way, it is a routine often used by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, catching people as cannon fodder!

However, Hong Chengchou was a great Confucian who had read the books of sages and sages after all, and he knew that he would salute before soldiers, so he first sent envoys to various tribes of the Shoshone people to ask for a meeting with the local territory.

The envoy took several captured Shoshone people as guides and read out the imperial letters of the Emperor of the Great Eastern Kingdom in public.

The content of the letter is very simple, mainly to persuade the Shoshone people, Hong Chengchou said bluntly: "I am the son of heaven, I came to this world from heaven, I hope that your large and small territories can come to my Great Eastern Kingdom as a guest, I will treat you as friends and brothers, you come quickly, I am eager to meet you!" ”

If anyone who knows Hong Chengchou reads this letter, he must know that Hong Maniac is preparing to invite someone to dinner!

In addition to boasting and full of friendly letters, the envoys of the Great Eastern Kingdom also brought a great deal of wealth to show that we have money, a lot of money!

Sure enough, some of the indigenous territories, lured by the wealth of the Great Eastern Kingdom, began to try to go to the Great Eastern Kingdom to find out, hoping to get information.

When they arrived at the town center of Daitokoku, everyone was stunned.

The camp in Daito looked like a beautiful city, and there were so many tents that the Indians were filled with fear.

Moreover, according to the messenger who greeted them, the army of Daito Kingdom numbered tens of thousands!

This number is enough to make the Indians shudder, and they are all wondering, is this so-called Great Eastern Kingdom really falling from the sky?

Puzzled and curious, the lords stepped into the "palace" of Daito Province, a huge wooden building.

There is no accident, Hong Chengchou's system of inviting guests to dinner is still as passionate as ever, just like the suppression of Kou in Shaanxi back then, all the leaders who came to the banquet were killed at the opening of the banquet!

After settling these Shoshone aboriginal territories, the army of the Great Eastern Kingdom raided the various tribes of the Shoshone in separate ways, leveling dozens of large and small tribes in one fell swoop, and capturing tens of thousands of people.

This wave of operations can be described as fast as lightning and as fast as the wind.
