Chapter 737: If the water flickers Fusangdi

PS: The plot of the undisciplined continues.

Under the leadership of the pilot, several sea ships slowly sailed into the port wharf of the Pearl River Estuary in Guangzhou.

Under the shouts of the leaders at all levels, the helmsmen and sailors on the ship lowered the sails, anchored, threw the ropes, and lowered the gangways in accordance with the passwords and operating procedures.

In fact, they don't need to say much, the flag on the mast blown by the river wind has already said everything.

Yin Lei walked out of his cabin and stood on the deck full of all kinds of cargo, looking at the scene on the shore with great curiosity.

"This is what you've always said about the Port of Guangzhou?" He watched the bustling people on the wharf, driving wagons and carts, nervously carrying all sorts of goods, large and small, that seemed to be unloaded from the ship and carried out of the hold in a constant stream.

"Yes! I haven't been back for more than two years, and it's so lively! The sailors on the ship were also excited about the sparks, eager to complete the port formalities as soon as possible, unload the ship's cargo, and then go home immediately to reunite with their families.

Yin Lei, but he didn't have the strong thoughts of the sailors, he was just curious and with some panic excitement, carefully observing the city of Guangzhou. Try to imprint everything you see and hear in your mind! The fuchsia face of excitement was almost bleeding.

If you don't look closely, Yin Lei looks the same as those coolies, officials, deacons and other coolies on the dock, with the same black hair and black eyes. The difference is just that the skin tone is a little darker. However, compared with those indigenous laborers and official slaves from all over Nanzhong and Nanyang, his complexion was much lighter.

People like him, not to mention Ha Jing in Hue, or in Guangzhou right now, are all grasping a lot of them.

But. His arrival was significant.

Yin Lei is the leader of a descendant of Yin Shang from the land of Fusang!

"What's that?" He pointed to the seven or eight healthy horses on the south wharf dragging four or five carriages connected together, and the carriages were piled up with a hill of goods, but the horses did not care at all, and walked like flying under the shouts of the coachman.

It's not that Yin Lei hasn't seen a horse before. On the contrary, he was also a good rider and had several horses in the family's stable. But he couldn't figure out how these horses could be transported so with heavy loads. His family's horses couldn't do anything.

"That?! It's called a railroad. The fine steel is made into long strips, laid on the burnt ash road, and the horse-drawn carriage walks on the rails, which naturally saves time and effort to walk like flying. However, it is also very expensive. Lay a kilometer of track, and nothing else. It's steel, and one meter of rail costs at least forty pounds! Not counting the road spikes, sleepers, burnt ash, and the wheels and rails of the carriage must also be specially made! Rao is our Nanyue Army has always been rich in steel, and it can only be laid in important places such as docks and mines. I can't afford it! ”

Hearing a large number of boatswain Lala's miscellaneous words, Yin Lei's mind immediately fell into a blank state of downtime. To be rich and powerful enough to be transported by rails laid with steel, what kind of world would this be made by the gods!

"We are really on the right path when we recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors!" He whispered in the tribal language to a few of his friends and relatives who were with him. "I'm afraid that even if ten or twenty new dynasty songs and Dingdong City are added together, they may not be half the size of this Guangzhou City!"

Yin Lei. He was the first to attach or say that he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors. It was the chief of the water who helped him to get it up.

The so-called New Dynasty Song and Dingdong City are the cities built by the chief of Ruoshui and those men who went to the hometown of Yin Shang on the seaside, or strongholds.

In the vast temple-like mansion of Liang Guogong, when Xu Hongzu, the principal of Nakano School, who was in charge of training expedition personnel, handed Li Shouhan the map and related reports sent by the chief of Wakasudo across the Pacific Ocean, he knelt on the ground and dared to peep at Li Shouhan who was like a god on several white jade steps. In their eyes, the high-ranking Li Shouhan. It is really as the chief of the water channel said, he is the person chosen by the Emperor of Heaven!

In the map and report submitted by Xu Hongzu, Li Shouhan was pleasantly surprised to find that this divine stick had established dozens of large and small strongholds on the west coast of the Fusang Continent, that is, on the coastline of the day across the Pacific Ocean from us. Among them, the new Chaoge and Dingdong City are the two largest, which serve as the core fortress.

In terms of geographical location and the direction of mountains and rivers, the two castles chosen by the Ajou Shui Chang and Fuso expeditions are probably in the San Francisco and Seattle areas.

This can also be seen from the gifts presented by Yin Lei and others.

Large chunks of raw gold, colorful furs, and various kinds of leather goods made from bison hides are crude, but there is a lot of information about the size of the production area.

Judging from the gifts they presented, as well as the costumes and faces of Yin Lei and Shang Feng, the two leaders who came to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, they should belong to the Hopi and Shoshone people who are distributed in the vast area of the West Coast!

From the moment they entered the waters of Guangzhou, the two big leaders had already completely decided that they were the descendants of Yin Shang in the mouth of Ruoshui Dao Chief! Roads, houses, services, all kinds of cultural elements have a sense of déjà vu, even the flying dragon on the flag, the giant bird, is also similar to their totem.

"It must be! We must be! Yin Lei and Shang Feng both told themselves with great firmness in their hearts.

In fact, this is the psychology that arises after the backward civilization worships and lags behind the advanced civilization. Speaking of the ability to recognize the ancestors, it is really not the first country in the universe living in a remote corner of the peninsula. It's people from Western Europe, the Mediterranean.

Originally, they were a group of northern barbarians who were driven out of the mountains and forests step by step by the Huns, and had to migrate west and south in waves in the face of the Huns' fast horses and bows and arrows. The Franks and Germans were all barbarians at that time. But it was this group of barbarians, who later came to say with a shy face that they were the descendants or successors of Greek civilization and Roman civilization, and branded some kind of Italian revival. I'll just phew! If Caesar and Octavian knew that they were recognized as ancestors by the descendants of a group of northern barbarians, they would be so angry that they would go to find the initiators of this matter, Wei Qing and Huo Quai, the main culprits of the great migration between the Eastern and Western peoples. The first piece of dominoes is going to be reckoned with!

The Hopi people are a matriarchal society near San Francisco, mainly farming and pastoralism, the main crop is maize, but also beans, pumpkins, melons and other vegetables and fruits. Men were engaged in farming, mandulking, building houses, attending ceremonies, making moccasins, weaving clothes and blankets. In addition to daily household chores, women also weave baskets, make pottery, and draw water. He also worked as an ancillary worker in vegetable gardens and construction. The Hopi, like other Pueblos, are peace-loving and monogamous. Women rarely attend ceremonies, but sometimes they become voluntary members of one of the three women's secret societies. Regardless of the village, men can volunteer to participate in a number of secret societies, including the lavish ceremonial ceremony and the annual Winter Solstice-Soyal celebration. The celebration was very important, and the ceremonies were mostly led by high-ranking officials, often village and town leaders.

The Shoshone in comparison with the Hopi. It seems to be much more fierce and brave. They are found in a vast area from southeastern California, across central and eastern Nevada and northwestern Utah, into southern Idaho and western Wyoming, and belong to the Indian tribes that fought until modern times......

The first contact between the Shoshone and the white people involved the westward journey of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805 and the arrival of fur hunters and traders in the Rocky Mountains in 1820. This was followed by white immigrants, most notably the Mormon settlement in Salt Lake City, the heart of Shoshone. For three generations after that, the chiefs of Shoshone fought hard against the U.S. army in an attempt to reclaim their lost hunting grounds. Although their struggle was valiant, it ended in defeat: in 1890. The last Shoshone tribe was forcibly relocated to the reservation by the U.S. Indian Affairs Administration.

The Northern Shoshone put up stubborn resistance to the white invasion. In its earliest days, the Northern Shoshone were able to coexist peacefully with the Mormons. Because the Mormon elders acquiesced in the use of food and supplies to compensate the Shoshone for the damage they had suffered in hunting and logging. Although sporadic clashes occurred from time to time, between the 1847 and 1850s, there was a largely peaceful situation between the Shoshone and the Mormons; After the 50s, an influx of caravans and gold diggers snatched most of the Shoshone's prey. In 1859, Jacob Utah, the administrator of Native American affairs, was in charge of Indian affairs. Recognizing the tremendous impact of immigration, Fourney wrote, "The Indians were due to the entry of whites. Started to get hungry. "The Shoshonees, desperate and starving, began raiding lone farms and stealing cattle, which in turn exacerbated friction between the Mormons and the Shoshone, and the food and supplies to compensate the Shoshone dwindled.

Li Shouhan was very curious, although the god stick of the waterway chief was known for being good at fooling, how did he subdue two Indian tribes in just over two years? Settlements in such a vast area?

These. The answers were found in a conversation between the professionals of the Department of Business Intelligence and Yin Lei and Shang Feng, two simple and honest men.

Although both of them stammered in Chinese, they were even guessed and confused, and there were more generals acting as a bridge of communication on the side.

"I'm afraid it's a 'goose mouth'."

Dressed as a man and carrying a medicine box on his back, Ruoshui Dao was at ease in the eyes of several Hopis, either looking at the scrawny baby who was being held in the arms of a Hopi woman.

The boy wept incessantly; The small mouth is wide open, the corners of the mouth are drooling, the mouth is covered with white spots like snowflakes, and the throat is red and swollen, which is extremely severe thrush.

"Thrush" is surgery, Chi Ruo Waterway has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and has also done the business of selling wild medicine, and knows how to treat various common diseases of bruises, nodded and said: "Wait for me to take a look!" ”

"Alas!" While watching, he said sadly as he spoke, "It's too late to see." The child's illness has been delayed! ”

"I am." The Hopi woman said with tears in her eyes, "I have also asked the sorcerer to come and see it, and I have skipped God, but it is not good." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" If the chief of the water channel hurriedly ordered the minister to comfort her, she said, "I am half practicing medicine, half saving people and doing good deeds on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven; You don't have to worry about medicine to cure people. ”

Naturally, the woman thanked her. The chief of the waterway began to treat the baby under the strict guard of a bunch of Hopis. First, use a piece of clean white silk to wipe off the white spots, and then take out a goose feather tube from the medicine box and blow peppermint and borneol for the baby. These two cool medicines reduced the burning pain in the baby's mouth, and the crying actually stopped.

This time. Immediately, the chief of Wakamizu became a fairy-like figure in the eyes of these Hopis!

"Great Wizard! Please continue to cast spells to save this child! A few Hopi women stopped the long way of Wakasumi, who had turned to go.

"Poor Dao just said, Poor Dao was sent by the Emperor of Heaven to cure people who are destined to be treated. You are all descendants of Yin Shang, and you are naturally destined for poverty. However, the poor road wants to cure this child now, but there is a lack of medicinal materials, and you have to go back to get it. ”

"Something is missing. There are warriors in my tribe who are willing to do a trip for the Great Wizard! Just ask the Grand Wizard to explain! Yin Lei, who was not called Yin Lei at the time, helped his mother out of his house.

"Neither nor not!" If the chief of the water department looked at the dozen Hopi people who were busy moving furs and raw gold from their homes, he couldn't stop waving his hands, indicating that he was not here for this. He even opened the lid of the medicine box and motioned for everyone to see: "This thrush needs to use 'Liu Qingsan', a total of four flavors of medicine, and I only brought three of them; So, in order to save this child. I'll have to get it from where I live! ”

Seeing that the chief of Ruoshui said so earnestly, there was definitely no taste of temporary price increase and taking the opportunity to extort. Yin Lei and the others suddenly had a good impression of him and rose to a new level.

"Then ask the Great Wizard to send a guide, there are people in our tribe who are good at running and walking. Let them come to your place as soon as possible to get the medicine they need! ”

"You're the head of the house? If you send a few men back with my guide, and let the people of the city fetch all the medicines I have carried, I will be able to save hundreds of lives of your people who are infected with the plague!" ”

If the chief of the water channel can see clearly, among Yin Lei's tribe, except for this baby who suffered from thrush. Many people have also suffered from diphtheria, an infectious disease.

For the Hopi, this is a terrible disease that can wipe out the tribe.

If the chief of the water channel had already learned of the epidemic of this tribe from the mouth of the spy, from the situation described by the spy, there were white spots on the left and right sides of the throat, pain in the throat, difficulty in drinking, fever with or without sweating, or chills and cold limbs, headache and dizziness, pain in the joints, red face and red lips, upset chest tightness, cough and thirst, greasy tongue, sweet or bitter mouth, white or slippery or gray, dry and painful throat, upset, dizziness, tinnitus, dry and red mouth, and sudden fever without cold, or fever in the afternoon, or fever recurring after sweating, or sweating burning that does not go away. It happened to be diphtheria that he could treat, otherwise he wouldn't have ventured to come.

The purpose of ordering Yin Lei to send people to Dingdong City to get those medicines. In addition to treating these patients and subduing the hearts of this tribe, he also intended to let those tribesmen see the strength and momentum of Dingdong City. At that moment, he fully demonstrated the true character of a competent and excellent god, "Poor Dao was sent here by the Emperor of Heaven, so he will naturally do his best to save the Chinese Miao descendants." ”

"Poor Dao this medicine, but it is also blessed by the Emperor of Heaven, all my Chinese Miao descendants, Yin Shang descendants, naturally take the medicine to get rid of the disease. If there are distracting thoughts in your heart, or if you deviate from the thoughts of Huaxia, you can't help it! Sure enough, it is a character who has been walking on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and in addition to raising his identity and fooling him in a few words, he also took away the responsibility for those who were too ill and had ineffective treatment. They don't think they're of Chinese Miao descent! Or, they are not descendants of Yin Shang at all! How do you let the poor be cured?

However, the vast majority of the people in Yin Lei's tribe are descendants of Yin Shang. Several pairs of medicines based on book lotus, cicada clothes, pond chrysanthemum, burdock seeds, forsythia, sweet yellow seeds, bellflower, nepeta, tempeh, and bamboo leaves, and then adjusted and decreased according to the different symptoms of the patient, upset and soybean soup, cough plus kernel, abdominal pain and diarrhea plus skullcap, dry nausea plus orange red, bamboo ru, sandwich plus hawthorn, vomiting plus chuanlian, bamboo ru, diaphragm plus yujin, diaphragm plus root, soon, it was controlled.

Diphtheria is a kind of mild disease, and sometimes it is divided into evil and evil. For those who are caused by the evil of the times, it is advisable to be spicy and cool, such as Jingyun "wind and lewd inside, and treat it with pungent and cool", and the total ten flavors are synthesized and spicy and cool.

Seeing that the men and women in the tribe who were originally sick and dying were alive and vigorous in the blink of an eye, and could walk and work in the field, how could they not be regarded as miracles by the people in the tribe? What's more, those Hopi people who went to Dingdong City to contact and pick up medicines served as free volunteer propagandists among the tribes after they returned, and they tirelessly boasted about the strength and prosperity of Dingdong City for Ruoshui Dao Chang in the tribe.

Words are false, but seeing is believing. While the people of the tribe were skeptical about the scene described by the people who had been to Dingdong City, a caravan from Dingdong City that had come to the village of Yin Lei to buy or trade arrived.

Corn, pumpkins, beans, vegetables, turkeys, sheep, deer, and other things raised by the tribesmen were all varieties that Wakasui and his companions had to procure.

"Our castle is going to be expanded, and I heard that you are all good at building houses, so we have come to recruit people to build houses!"

The front foot has just gone to purchase a batch of non-staple food, and the back foot has come a group of recruiters to recruit craftsmen.

The will of the gods and their great strength invisibly attract the Hopi people. (To be continued.) )
