After arriving on the coast of Brazil in South America, Niu Venus was not interested in this place, because it was too far away from Daming, and even leaving some people would not make much difference. Carlos told him that both the Dutch and the Portuguese were now colonizing near the coast, and that those who really went deep into the interior were still in the south, and near the equator were tropical rainforests, which were not very inhabitable, and they were all in a primitive state. Now dominated by the Dutch in the north and Portuguese in the south, his aim is to lose Brazil's southern port city of Rio de Janeiro if he can't find an opportunity here. You might as well follow him there to find opportunities, and there are many people you know.

In this way, Niu Venus was also tempted, so they drove south along the west coast together, and sailed to Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro is on the Tropic of Capricorn, and the climate of Guangzhou is about the same, this is a Portuguese colony, where Niu Venus saw a large number of Indians who looked more like their own Ming people, these Indians were slaves in the white farms of Rio de Janeiro, there was no personal freedom, and there were many slave markets on the streets. Many farmers chose their slaves here.

Bull Venus walked into the market and wandered around the slave markets, talking to the marketers with more proficient Portuguese, trying to find some useful information. The effort paid off, and Niu Jinxing finally found useful information, and in a market, Niu Jinxing saw about a hundred Indians being sold, and unlike other sold slaves, they were all tied with ropes, and the people who sold them asked for a very low price.

Through talking to the traders, I learned that these slaves were called raw slaves, they were sold from the far west, they were the spoils of war plundered by those slave traders by force, these people were not easy to manage, and they also had violent tendencies, and generally people who did not have strong guards did not dare to buy these slaves. Since it was shipped from the far west, it must be on the other side of the Americas, where it can directly face the Pacific Ocean, and the opposite shore is the Ming Dynasty.

So Niu Jinxing bought all these slaves at a very low price, and then sent them all to his fleet. After arriving at the fleet, Niu Jinxing found Yu Hualong and told him about his plans, and then the two of them found the leader among these people, and by the way, they also brought a few people who seemed to be good to ask them about the current situation in South America.

Although Yu Hualong can't compare to Niu Jinxing's language talent, but in the past six months, he has been desperately familiar with Portuguese and Spanish, it is not easy for him to speak these words proficiently, and it is still possible to understand simple conversations, you must know that the most popular in the world is not the English language family, but Spanish-Portuguese, these two languages are from the same family, just like the local dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

Niu Jinxing first asked the Indian leader in Portuguese, "What is your name?" Why was it sold as slaves? But you yourself don't have the consciousness to be a slave? ”

Looking at Niu Venus, the leader said, "Do you speak Spanish?" I don't know much Portuguese. ”

Niu Jinxing repeated his words in Spanish, and the leader glanced at the young man next to him, and the young man took over and said: "His name is Yidao, and he is the most powerful swordsman in our people, because all the people in our tribe are not as good as his sword, and in the first battle with the Spaniards, he killed a Spanish soldier with the first knife, and we will give him a name called Yidao." ”

Niu Jinxing smiled and asked, "Then what's your name?" ”

This time, it was the leader named "One Knife" who replied: "His name is a bull, because his strength is greater than that of a bull." ”

Niu Jinxing continued: "I bought you not to be my slaves, but to see that you are different from other slaves, and you have no intention of submitting to those people. I come from far away in the Ming Dynasty, and our great Emperor His Majesty has heard that some people who look like us live here, but they have received unequal treatment from Europeans, and asked us to come and see them. You see, we've just come here, we're not familiar with a lot of things, we're weak here, we need to know a lot about here and see if we can help you guys. Now that you're free, will you tell us what's going on here? Would you like our help? ”

Yidao listened to Niu Jinxing's words, his eyes were full of tears, and he recounted the tragic fate of his tribe to Niu Jinxing in a sad tone. "Our ancestors have lived here for a long time, and we hunted, farmed, and picked fruit," he said. There is no limit to the wealth here, and we are hospitable and sincere to all people, including guests from far and wide who we do not know. But our kindness and hospitality brought us bad luck, and those who came from afar took possession of our land, destroyed our country, killed our tribesmen, and for almost a hundred years, our people became fewer and fewer, some were killed by them, some were trafficked by them to unknown places, and many more people got diseases that we have never seen before, and died in large numbers. They also forced us to follow their religion, saying that we were born to listen to them and work for them, and that all those who did not want to work for them were either trafficked or killed. We killed our guards, but they caught them all and were trafficked here. Dear nobleman, if you are willing to help us and save our brothers and sisters from being oppressed by those hateful people, we are willing to be friends with you, I don't know if you look up to us? ”

Niu Jinxing said: "When we came here, our Great Emperor His Majesty asked us to help you, as long as we can do what you ask, then it is not a problem, now tell me what help you need, okay?" ”

Before he could reply, the bull snatched the words away, and he cried out: "We need weapons, we need the best knives, spears, bows and arrows, and with these we can take back our own land, and drive out those hateful whites, do you have these weapons?" ”

Yidao continued: "Honorable nobles, we know that these things need to be purchased with gold and silver, but now we don't have these things, they are all robbed by those hateful people, if you are willing to help us, we are willing to share our land with you, as long as we do not sell our people elsewhere." ”

Yu Hualong asked, "Where is your hometown?" How can we get you back? ”

Yidao said: "Our hometown is in the far west, they transported us by boat, it takes a long distance to go by land, and there are countless mountains and wild beasts blocking the way, if you have enough big ships, we can return to our hometown, I don't know if you can do it?"

Yu Hualong glanced at Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing nodded, and Yu Hualong said to Yidao and the bull: "In order to reassure you, now you come with me to see if our strength is enough to take you home, and whether we are qualified to help you regain your hometown." ”

Yu Hualong took a knife, a bull and all their people, and looked at all the one hundred and fifty ships together, and then let them see the cold weapons they brought when they came out this time, which made these South American Indians lose their big teeth, and their eyes were round, what a good weapon this is! If you can't retake your homeland with these weapons, you can only say that you can't do it, even the Spaniards' knives and guns are not as good as these weapons, and these weapons are not a few, it has a whole twenty boats, which can allow too many people to use knives and guns, and no longer have to fight with those white people with sticks.

Yidao also picked up a pair of Xuefeng knives that he liked very much and compared them for a while, looking at the fast knife with a cold air, Yidao's eyes gave off a sparkling light. The bull picked up a crossbow arrow, gestured for a while, and could not use it, so he picked up another machete and slashed at a stick, which broke off in response.
