Chapter 306: Return

Mu Bane was stumped by Lu Dai's words, he only roughly understood the simple Chinese language, and it sounded like a headache for these words that he chewed on the words, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the words, how to translate to the native chieftain?

Chen Wu waved his hand to let Lu Dai retreat first, and explained the meaning of his words to Mu Bane in easy-to-understand words, Mu Bane couldn't help but be deeply shocked, and then asked nervously: "What does the general mean, is it to pass on all the benefits of the Han to Yizhou, so that they can also be as rich as the Han?" Let their warriors be as brave and invincible as the Great Han warriors? ”

I saw Chen Wu nodding with a smile and saying, "It can be understood in this way. ”

When Mu Bane heard this, he immediately learned the etiquette of the Han people, saluted Chen Wu, and said earnestly: "Heroic General Chen, although our Pinghu Island is smaller than Yizhou, we are also loyal to the Han Dynasty, can the general also pass on the benefits of the Han Dynasty to us?" ”

Chen Wu said with a smile: "General Ben sees that you are very loyal, you can relax, I will soon send additional men to your Pinghu Island." I will appoint subordinate lieutenants to coach the middle-aged men of your clan to march and fight, appoint special officials to help you manage, teach you advanced farming methods, teach you to learn Chinese and Chinese characters, and let you quickly get out of the barbaric era. ”

Mubane was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked Chen Wu for bowing down, and translated what he had just said to Chief Askar.

After listening to Mubane's words, Askar pondered for a moment and then said to Chen Wu: "The land here is given by the true God, and we are all slaves of the true God, I don't know what kind of god the Son of Heaven you are talking about?" Will his words work? ”

Chen Wu knew that they had their own beliefs, and he wanted to replace their original belief in the god with the Son of Heaven, so Chen Wu patiently explained to Askar: "The Son of Heaven is the true God, the only representative of the will of Heaven in the mortal world. If you don't respect the Son of Heaven, you will disrespect God and the true God, and this will lead to sin. For example, let you have a drought here, an outbreak of epidemics, an earthquake, ......"

Before Chen Wu finished speaking, Askar was already in a cold sweat, because there was an earthquake here not long ago, killing hundreds of people. He listened to Chen Wu's words and thought that it was because he did not respect the Son of Heaven, and he had already knelt on the ground involuntarily, and said respectfully: "The villain understands, we did not respect the Son of Heaven before, so God has condemned the crime many times, last year we had an outbreak of epidemic here, more than 300 people died in the tribe, and there was an earthquake this year, more than 100 people died, it turned out that we thought that the true God abandoned us, and then we knew that it was because of disrespect to the Son of Heaven, please forgive the general for our ignorance, we will respect the Son of Heaven from today on, and everything will be arranged by the general." ”

Chen Wu was overjoyed to hear this, and he asked Mubane to teach Askar some simple Chinese first, so that they could communicate in the future. Then let Aska return to the tribe and explain Chen Wu's words to the tribesmen again, which filled the hearts of these tribesmen with fear. After that, you can easily get them to surrender and accept their own transformation.

At first, there were provocateurs who opposed the acceptance of sinicization.,But they were all executed by Aska on charges of disrespecting the Son of Heaven.,No one dared to oppose this change.。 Askar took the lead in receiving reform, and with Askar as an exemplary chieftain, Aska's people began to actively learn Chinese. Chen Wu: The communication barriers between them and the Gaoshan people have gradually decreased.

After more than a month of getting along, Chen Wu learned that at this time, the Gaoshan tribe was still in the stage of clan commune, there was no private property, and they lived a primitive social life, they were divided into many tribes, and the tribal members were called "Mi Scales", and they often worked in their mouths, and according to gender, age, and strength, men were responsible for hunting in the mountains, fishing in the sea, defending the tribe, and guarding property.

Women and children mainly collect tree seeds, wild fruits, and plant roots and stems within the jurisdiction of the tribe, prepare meals for all the tribe members, barbecue meat, and eat together, and distribute the food equally. The supreme head of the tribe is the chief, and there is complete equality within the clan, and the chief's house is the same as everyone else's, a house made of stone.

Put a wooden fence around the house. The only thing special about the chieftain's house is the many skulls on display, because according to local custom, the more human skulls are displayed in the room, the more enemies are killed and the greater the skill. In the clan tribe, there is no law, only custom is used to deal with problems. If there is something to do, we will hold a tribal meeting to discuss it together.

In order to show his respect for Chen Wujun, the chief Askar held a grand welcome ceremony, in which men, women and children all wore bright, dazzling, delicately textured, and colorful clan costumes, their hair was coiled on the top of their heads, tied with bone flutes, necklaces made of beads, shells, bones, etc., and bracelets made of jade on their wrists and ankles. From day to night, bonfires were set up, and Chen Wujun's soldiers also joined the crowd of singing and dancing, and Chen Wu, Lu Dai, Zhuge Zhi and others frequently raised glasses with local chiefs and their entourage to celebrate.

LΓΌ Dai, Zhuge Zhi and others began to live in Yizhou, they helped the Gaoshan people to farm, and taught them agricultural production techniques and casting techniques, the Gaoshan people were very grateful to them, and sang praises to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, due to Chen Wujun's lack of adaptation to the water and soil, many soldiers fell ill, and the Gaoshan people did their best to help them heal. However, their medical standards are relatively backward, and Chen Wujun's medicine is running out, and more and more people are dying of illness.

Chen Wu made a decision after discussing with Lu Dai, he decided to keep all the remaining medicines and return to Jiangdong with those who were not sick first. Chen Wu had long known that Han Xuan had the intention to carry him thousands of miles away, because Han Xuan was afraid that Chen Wu would be heartbroken when he watched him lie on the bed waiting for death, so he made up the lie of looking for medicine overseas. Chen Wu just didn't dare to face this fact all the time, the reason why he insisted on coming to Yizhou was just to fulfill Han Xuan's entrustment to him, our journey is a sea of stars! Chen Wu remembered their ideals, and couldn't help but tears welled up in his eyes.

Chen Wu left LΓΌ Dai here to continue to explore Yizhou on his behalf, and Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen also stayed. After everything was arranged, Chen Wu boarded the building ship and prepared to return home. Some Gaoshan people want to go to Jiangdong with them to see the style of the Han Dynasty. So Chen Wu, Zhou Tai, LΓΌ Dai and others said goodbye with tears, and returned to Jiangdong with more than 1,000 soldiers and Gaoshan people.

On the way back, Chen Wu and his team encountered a strong wind and waves of nearly ten meters at sea, which damaged several small sea boats, but fortunately, when they went back, it was almost winter, and there was no typhoon at this time. The hull was bumpy and unstable, and there was only one person in the cabin, Shen Kai, a Confucian scholar. There were more than 100 scholars, doctors, farmers, blacksmiths and other people from Yizhou brought by Chen Wu this time, and Shen Kai was one of them.

He had long heard the legend of the overseas immortal mountain, and now he had gone to Yizhou with Chen Wu in person. He gained a lot from this trip, and he happily recorded the appearance of Yizhou in his book "Linhai Tuzhi": "Yizhou is in the southeast of Dongye County, and it is 2,000 miles to the county. The land is free of frost and snow, and the plants and trees do not die. On all sides are mountains, and all the mountains dwell. On the top of the mountain, there is the white shot by the king of Yue, which is a stone. Each of these names is the king, the land is divided, and the people are different, everyone has a head, and the ears are pierced, and the women do not have ears. As a room dwelling, planting wattles for the fertile. The land is fertile, and it produces both grain and fish. Uncles, aunts, sons, and fathers, men and women sleep in a large bed. When rendezvous, each does not avoid each other. It can be made of fine cloth, and it can also be used as a speck. Cloth carving, there is an article in it, so that it is also decorated. ”
