Waiting is always anxious, and Lu Xiangsheng is no exception, he knows how dangerous Zhao Mingfeng is to go, if he is not the coach, he even wants to take someone with him.

He could not predict what the outcome would be, because he had not dealt with the Indians either.

Now, he can only hope that the emperor is like a god, if it weren't for the emperor's confession that he must find a way to win over the natives here, he really won't let people take this risk, after all, as long as the army is surrounded, no matter how big the indigenous tribe is, it has to be honest, he doesn't believe that the indigenous tribe without guns can beat the Tianxiong army under his command.

As a result, it was naturally "expected" by Zhu Cijiong, and about three hours later, Zhao Mingfeng finally returned safely, and he also brought more than a dozen natives.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw the Indians in sleeveless short robes in the telescope, he was also pleasantly surprised, this service, this appearance, it was so much like a Mongolian person!

He couldn't resist summoning all the Mongols to the deck and personally leading them to wait there.

Sure enough, after the Indians in sleeveless robes got on the boat, they chatted a few words, and immediately an old man from the Mongolian tribe went up and chatted with them excitedly.

After chatting a few words, the old man said excitedly in Chinese: "Generalissimo, they are our lost clansmen!" “

Finally able to communicate well with the natives here, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help laughing.

With the Mongolian people translating from it, the two sides soon figured out the specific identity of the other party, on one side was naturally the expeditionary force of the Ming Empire, and on the other side was the Seattle tribe, and their chieftain was called Seattle.

After a brief introduction, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't wait to say: "You hurry up and tell them what our Ming Empire means." “

What does the Ming Empire mean?

Naturally, it can't be said that they came to colonize, and if they say so, it's strange that people don't turn their faces.

The Mongolian people who were selected were trained, and they already knew what to say.

What Zhu Cijiong told them was that the Ming Empire came to North America this time mainly to help the local Indians clean up the anti-Habsburg alliance powers.

Because the great powers couldn't defeat the Ming Empire in Europe, they ran here to plunder, and in order to prevent them from developing through raiding, the Ming Empire also followed.

The purpose of the Ming Empire was to help the Indians hold on to the land and prevent the enemy from growing through raids.

Well, most of this is nonsense, and the purpose is naturally to fool the Indians with the banner of justice, so that they think that the Ming Empire sent troops to help them.

What Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect was that after listening to the translation of the people, the Seattle chief was so excited, looking at his dancing appearance, he should have taken what the Mongolian people said seriously.

What's going on here?

It was only after the Mongolian translation that he learned that he actually knew about the invasion of the Americas by the European powers!

It turned out that the British had begun to invade the North American continent more than 30 years ago, and they had already established six colonial bases on the West Coast, and the entire West Coast was about to be occupied by them.

Many tribes on the West Coast were torn apart by the colonists, and the remnants of these tribes were forced to move around, which naturally spread the news throughout the North American continent.

Lu Xiangsheng attaches great importance to the information provided by the Seattle chief, you must know that even Zhao Mingfeng, who has been investigating here for more than three months, has never seen the shadow of the British.

However, he was soon disappointed, for the Indians did not have a specific unit to measure the distance, and the chieftain could only describe the distance in terms of horses, which he described as at least ten days to reach the British colony from here!

Ten days, if it is calculated according to the Ming Dynasty's horse journey, it is quite terrifying, the Ming Dynasty's horse journey in a day is at least five hundred miles, ten days, that is at least five thousand miles, such a long distance, it is almost life.

Of course, now is not the time to start a war with the foreign powers, with a general direction, he can still directly send scouts to investigate, and always find out where the British are, now, the most important thing is to build a base, or build Jinshan City.

It can be said that so far, the Seattle chieftain has a good impression of the Ming Empire's army, because the two sides have a common skin color, a common enemy, and even a common language, and it is easy to have a sense of intimacy.

Do you want to ask for the city to be built right away?

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it for a while, or stabilize the relationship first, or continue to fool around, now that the two sides have only communicated for a while, they want others to give up their territory, this, it is estimated that it is difficult.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng began a wooing strategy.

For example, he took out a lot of Ming specialties, such as cloth, porcelain, tea and even grain, and gave the chief a lot;

For another example, take this chief to visit the armed fortune ship and super battleship, so that they can understand the strength of the Ming Dynasty;

For another example, let his soldiers demonstrate the power of muskets and cannons to the chieftain, let them understand the strength of the European continent powers from the side, and let them subconsciously have the idea of asking for help from the Ming Empire.

After a few days of wooing and hinting, the chief of the Indian tribe had already regarded the Ming Empire as a friend, and even many people from the entire tribe walked up for an hour or two every day to see the fleet of the Ming Empire.

The communication between the two sides is becoming more and more frequent, and the relationship is becoming more and more harmonious, and it seems that it should be about the same.

On this day, Lu Xiangsheng personally went to the chief's house to visit with gifts, and after greeting for a while, he pretended to frown and said embarrassedly: "Dear Seattle chief, I have something I want to ask you for help. “

Chief Seattle is also a very enthusiastic person, and when he saw Lu Xiangsheng's expression, he immediately said with concern: "My friend, what's wrong, if you have any difficulties, just say it, I will definitely help you if I can help." “

Lu Xiangsheng said a little embarrassed: "Dear Seattle chief, this is the case, you also know that our enemies are very powerful, with the current number of people under my command, there is no way to drive them away, I have sent a request to our Emperor His Majesty, asking him to send more soldiers to help Indian friends." “

When Chief Seattle heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "This is a good thing, my friend, come on, come and have more people to help us drive those demons away." “

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said embarrassedly: "Respected Seattle chief, to drive those demons away, at least a million warriors are needed, and the people of our Ming Empire are used to living in the city, I have searched all the nearby areas, only this big lake is suitable for building a large city, and there is not enough water in other places to support the consumption of millions of people." “

The Seattle chief listened to the Mongolian translation, obviously stunned, and then he asked the Mongolian people a bunch of questions, and the Mongolian man in charge of the translation began to dance and make a gesture, it seemed that he was introducing how big the city of the Ming Dynasty was.

The Seattle chief listened for a moment, then pointed to the ground under his feet and asked, "My friend, you mean you want to build a huge city here?" “
