Volume 18 Chapter 65: The Whisperer of the Wind, the Legend of the Celestial Empire (I)

Soon after the Ming Empire's colonial fleet arrived on the west coast of the North American continent with the second batch of men and supplies, Indian tribes throughout the North American continent began to circulate a legend, a legend about the Celestial Empire.

Legend has it that all the Indian tribes were remnants of the Celestial Empire, and that a long, long time ago, the continent was actually connected to the Celestial Empire, but a huge flood broke the connecting channel, and since then, they have lost contact with the Celestial Empire.

Just a few decades ago, the demons of the West found this continent and began to grab the land with impunity, slaughtering the Indians of this land.

Sensing a revelation from God, the Celestial Empire, knowing that its people were being bullied by demons, began to build huge ships ready to cross the vast sea to save their people.

Just this year, the big ship was finally built, and the Celestial Empire did not hesitate to send a large army to rescue its people.

Now that the armies of the Celestial Empire have arrived on this continent, the suffering of the Indians is about to pass.

Soon, the Celestial armies will drive out the demons, and the Indians will return to the embrace of the Celestial Empire and live happily ever after.

This is a legend compiled by Zhu Cijiong himself, and when he heard the news that the colonial fleet had brought back after the first turnaround, he knew that the strategy of assimilating the local Indians was indeed feasible, so he made up this legend and asked Lu Xiangsheng to find a way to spread it on the American continent.

The Celestial Empire naturally refers to the Ming Empire, and the demon refers to the British colonists.

This legend is not entirely deceitful, as there are indications that the Indians are supposed to have migrated from East and North Asia, but they are too old and separated by oceans, so the language and customs gradually diverged.

However, no matter what, the skin color and appearance will not change much, the newborn Indian children are actually exactly the same as the children born in the Ming Empire, there is no difference in skin color or appearance, but they don't like to wear clothes much in summer, and after years of sun and rain, they will look a little darker than the people of the Ming Empire.

This is not a very obvious difference, the people of the Ming Empire will be as dark as them if they are shirtless for a few days.

The common color of the skin and the common appearance were the basis for the acceptance of this legend, and if the European colonists spread such a legend, the Indians would believe that there were ghosts.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on legends, there must also be envoys of the Celestial Empire to confirm the authenticity of this legend, and Zhao Mingfeng, the envoy of Jinyi Weinan Town, is the head of these envoys of the Celestial Empire.

At this moment, Zhao Mingfeng is leading a large group of people to gallop on the North American prairie.

If people who knew him saw him dressed like this, they would definitely be shocked and their eyes would fall out.

The dignified Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Zhen Fu envoy was shirtless, wearing a pair of pants, and riding a horse on the grassland!

Well, the pants he wore were not the simple pants that the Indians casually wrapped in a piece of cloth, but the briefs designed by Zhu Cijiong himself.

There is no difference in the shape of this kind of briefs from the briefs of later generations, but the material is different.

Like what Zhao Mingfeng is wearing now, it is a special briefs made of woolen sheepskin, which is also painted with various colors, which looks wild!

There were about 100 people in the group he led, most of them were Seattle tribe warriors, only a few were Jinyi Wei masters, and there were two Mongolian translators.

All of them were carrying longbows, spears in their hands, shirtless, and painted with uniform patterns on their bodies, looking like Indian warriors of the tribe.

Interestingly, whether it is a master of the brocade guard or a warrior of the Seattle tribe, they all wear briefs produced by the Ming Empire.

Perhaps, the Indians also found it easier to wear these pants, so they put a set of pants directly on their feet, and then lifted them up and it was done, and no matter how they jumped, they would not fall off.

Unlike the pieces of cloth they originally tied between their crotches, it is troublesome to tie up, and it will fall off if you don't put your mind to it, and it is far less comfortable to wear than this kind of briefs.

This kind of equipment and "clothing" should be regarded as scorpion among the various tribes of North American Indians, and it is the only one, no matter which tribe they go to, there are countless people who cast envious eyes.

Zhao Mingfeng took this group of people to confirm the existence of the Celestial Empire and the strength of the Celestial Empire, in fact, the things they brought were far more than that, and there was a big leather bag tied to the back of each of their saddles, which contained muskets and all kinds of good things made by the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why they all dressed up like this was mainly to increase the intimacy of the Indian tribe, and for this reason, all the brocade guards on the mission even soaked in a special potion to make the whole skin tone a little darker, and it looked exactly the same as the skin color of the Indians.

Zhao Mingfeng has already led people to visit many Indian tribes, and every time he has been warmly entertained by the chiefs of various tribes, basically eating and drinking, and then talking nonsense with people, the task is completed!

In this way, they rode horses and galloped with various tribes, conveying the glory of the Celestial Empire of the Ming Empire, and spreading the legend of the Celestial Empire farther and farther, and spreading the truth more and more.

There are many Indian tribe chiefs who even followed them to Jinshan City, which was built by the Ming Empire, where they visited the warships of the Celestial Empire, watched the weapons drills of the Celestial Empire, tasted the delicacies of the Celestial Empire, bought all kinds of exquisite goods, and had a lot of fun and lingered.

Zhao Mingfeng also slowly got used to this kind of life, and he even felt that he had become an Indian warrior, galloping in the wind, flying in the wind, feeling the speed of the wind, and listening to the whispers of the wind.

This also confirms from the side that if you live in this vast continent for a long time, you will really become an Indian.

No, a group of bison suddenly appeared in front, Zhao Mingfeng immediately rushed up with everyone to beat their horses, and the chasing bison ran wildly, and then, they raised their spears one after another, and threw themselves at the lone bison.

"Brush brush brush" A spear shadow flew by, several bison fell to the ground in response, and without his command, the Indian warriors dismounted, drew special knives, held the bison down, brushed a few knives to end their lives, and then began to skillfully disassemble the flesh and fur.

Bison, at this time, was an animal that could be found everywhere in the North American prairies and was the main food of the Indians.

According to the statistics of later generations, the number of bison on the North American prairie once exceeded 50 million, which was simply flooded, and at this time, the Indians of the entire North American continent were less than 10 million, so they would not go hungry just by eating bison.

The number of bison is not exaggerated, according to historical records, in order to eliminate the Indian tribes, cut off their main food, the U.S. military began to hunt bison in 1800, and by 1890, a total of nearly 60 million bison were hunted, and the number of bison on the North American prairie is terrifying, which can be seen.
