Chapter 180: Rooting

On the second day, the Seattle chief and the elders asked to see Zhao Shujiao again, hoping to see the situation of the tribe's army, Zhao Shujiao asked Fu Guan and Man Gui to invite both Fu Guan and Man Gui over, and then led them to visit the barracks, intending to completely shock the Seattle chief and see what they thought.

Man Gui's idea was relatively simple, he wanted these elders to see how powerful his army really was, in case of any conflict, he could achieve the intention of surrendering the army without a fight, and as soon as his army arrived, the soldiers of these tribes fled with a lot of urine.

Fu Guan was more careful, he had already seen fear in the eyes of the Seattle chiefs, and worship in the eyes of those elders, and his plan was to subdue this tribe and let them join his territory.

Now the barracks are basically regular, the number of soldiers has been reduced to about 2,000 at Fu Guan's request, the rest of the soldiers have been converted into construction troops, more than 1,000 craftsmen are simply not enough, and there are still a large number of factories that need people to work. Looking at the large amount of territory obtained by Fu Guan's soldiers without a fight, Zhao led the teaching. Man Gui agreed to his request, but the remaining 2,000 soldiers were definitely selected elite soldiers, and they would be the originators of professional soldiers in the future.

After entering the barracks, the big teeth of the Seattle chiefs and elders were almost shocked, the shooting speed and distance of the cartridge rifles were incomparable to those bows and arrows, the rows of neatly placed mortars were murderous and terrifying, and the straight-handed machine guns looked like man-eating beasts, which made people feel a sense of powerlessness when they looked at it. Looking at the training of the army, it is lined vertically and horizontally, and when you look at a line obliquely, the powerful and uniform movements of the armed forces make people know the strictness of military discipline at a glance. This is definitely a division of tigers and wolves, once it is launched, it will be invincible and unstoppable.

A group of soldiers stood up and smashed the paper targets 60 zhang away by lying fire, and the hand-cranked machine gun was test-fired, and all the paper targets 120 zhang away were broken. The most terrible thing was the covering blow of the mortars, after the twelve mortars fired a base number of shells, a large number of craters appeared one hundred and fifty feet away, and there was not a single grass nearby, and if anyone stood there, it must have become meat sauce long ago.

Looking at Seattle at this time, they were all prostrate on the ground, and I don't know if they were scared, or they worshiped the artillery fire, in short, Zhao Shujiao and Fu Guan's strategy was successful, which made the Seattle tribe completely admired to the bones, or scared to the bones.

Fu Guan called them up softly and asked them to go to dinner with his people, after all, they had been visiting for a long time, everyone was a little hungry, and they hadn't invited them to dinner since they came here in Seattle. There is a saying in later generations called 'If you want to conquer a woman, you must first conquer his belly', that is, if you want to marry a good woman, you must first satisfy her appetite, this is an eternal truth, Fu Guan also wanted to use this method to test these Indians.

Now the cooking skills of the Ming people have been greatly improved, and countless appetizing seasonings have been found in the vast land, coupled with countless experiments of the Daming School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so that the dining table of the Ming Dynasty is extremely rich. At the noon table, the chefs of Daming fully demonstrated the rich catering culture of Daming, and made several kinds of cuisines in the north and south of the world, so that the elders of the Seattle tribe who were still in the era of drinking Mao Ru's blood. One by one, they ate all over the ditch, and they had long forgotten the panic just now, and the older ones were about to die, so Fu Guan also prepared hawthorn soup for them to eat, otherwise, they might really be killed by a few.

After lunch, Zhao taught them to go back to rest, and the rest of the Seattle sat on comfortable chairs, staring at each other with big eyes, and they didn't know whether they were stupid or stupid, anyway, no one spoke for a long time, just looked at each other.

Before dinner, the Seattle chief brought the elders to ask to see Zhao Shujiao, and Zhao Shujiao received them in the living room with Fu Guan and Man Gui, Seattle and everyone sat down, and said straight to the point: "Chief Zhao, I and the elders have decided to join your territory and become your subordinates, I don't know if your tribe is willing to accept it?" ”

The three of you, look at me, I look at you, this is too simple, before they have time to let Fu Guan fool them, they themselves fooled themselves and are willing to take refuge in Daming?

Zhao said, "Chief Seattle, we are very welcome for your tribe to join, but do you have any conditions?" ”

Seattle said, "We have no conditions, O chief, but we hope that the chief will treat us well, so that our children can also read and write, and become wise in the future, and as for those of us, we are at your disposal, and we will do whatever you do without complaint." ”

Listening to Seattle's firm tone, Fu Guan really had mixed feelings in his heart, these people gave up everything they had for their children and grandchildren, it is really "pity the hearts of parents in the world" The sentence "pity the hearts of parents in the world" works in the world! It is these people who are almost in a society of ignorance know it.

Fu Guan took this and said: "Chief Seattle, I don't know if your tribe or other tribes have written records, or if they are recorded like pictures, if so, can you let me see it?" ”

One of the chiefs who came with Seattle replied, "Our tribe only has some simple graphic records, but there is no text like yours here, and I have brought some simple drawings that I have drawn from the place of worship, and what I have taken from there, you can see it, I can't read it myself." ”

Fu Guan took those pictures, they were all animal skins and other things, and some seemed to be painted on some carapace, and then he looked at them carefully, about half an hour's work, everyone was a little impatient, Fu Guan took out some tortoise shells and other things from his cabinet, he put the two things together, and then asked people to go to the school to find two Indian students who were better at learning Chinese.

When the two or three students arrived, Fu Guan asked them to be the translator and tell them what he had to say to Seattle. It turned out that what was said was relatively simple, and they could understand each other through language and expression, but now Fu Guan said more, I was afraid that they wouldn't understand, so I asked these children to translate, and by the way, Seattle made them even more surprised.

Fu Guan asked everyone to be quiet, listen to him tell some stories, and hoped that everyone would be patient and not disturb anyone. Seeing that Fu Guan's tone of voice was very serious, not to mention Seattle, even Man Gui would have a serious face, quietly waiting for Fu Guan to tell the story.

Fu Guan said in a slow tone, from Pangu to open the world, Nuwa to create people, Shennong to taste a hundred herbs, Cangjie to create words, and then how the three emperors and five emperors benefited the world, how to develop, how to conduct the war between them, until Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, how to formulate the unified measures of "the same book and the same track", although these little guys are not very well translated, but whether it is the Ming people who can fully understand it, or they don't know much about Seattle, they all listen to it like they are demented, Completely immersed in the story told in this slow tone.

After telling these stories, Fu Guan picked up the two pictures on the table, compared them and explained them to Seattle, the pictographs on these pictures began to become vivid, first picked up a "person" word and talked about it again, and then picked up a "day" word to explain again, after explaining a few words in a row, Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui They haven't reacted to what's going on, Seattle and an elder knelt on the ground and bowed, why? Fu Guan means that we are brothers of the same clan, otherwise why the ancestors used similar glyphs. Why is there such a big gap now? That's the result of the changes after the unification of the ancestral dragon!

Looking at Fu Guan again, this guy lifted Seattle and another elder who were kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, and said, "We are all brothers of the same clan." In ancient times, your ancestors left their homeland and came to this rich land, where they took root and sprouted. Our current Emperor Ming is wise and martial, and he calculates that you are going to encounter an unfortunate disaster, because those white people have landed from the east, and some have landed in the far south for nearly a hundred years, and the scourge there is not a good appearance, so he sent us over to help you resist those evil white people, I don't know if you have seen those people or heard of those people? ”

"We've heard about those people, there are a lot of tribes from the south who have migrated to us, and we don't know what is going on in the east, some of them are too far away, and there's a lot of news about them in the sea in the south, and we're scared," Seattle said. ”
