The early morning sun sprinkled all over the grassland, the blue sky was clear, the breeze was slow, and it was a rare good weather, Zhao Mingfeng led a group of people and horses to meet the breeze and roared to the east. Fastest updates

This time, they were going to the Azina tribe, which was about seven or eight hundred miles away from Jinshan City, and if they galloped wildly, they might be able to reach it in one day, but in that case, their mounts were estimated to be scrapped, so Zhao Mingfeng did not let people rush with all his strength, but rested for a night in the middle.

Now, the Indian tribes within five or six hundred miles of Jinshan City have been run by them, and the next tribes are at least seven or eight hundred miles away from Jinshan City, and the reason why they chose the Azina tribe this time is mainly because they are near the railway line planned by Daming.

According to Zhao Mingfeng's current situation, there are more than 200 Indian tribes on the North American continent, large and small, and it is naturally impossible to visit them all in a short period of time.

The steel mill at the base of Jinshan City is under rapid construction, and the three subordinate regiments to build the railway have all been put in place, and the construction of the railway is just around the corner, and the various tribes along the railway route have naturally become his primary target.

This Azina tribe is also a large tribe of tens of thousands of people, and it also has a lot of influence on the surrounding tribes, if you can get along with them, then the Indian tribes within a radius of 100 miles in the vicinity can basically be done.

Zhao Mingfeng has long been nervous and worried about visiting the Indian tribes at the beginning, since the legend of the Celestial Empire has spread on the North American continent, the Indian tribes have obviously regarded the Ming Empire as their relatives and saviors, and the possibility of them becoming enemies of the Ming Empire is not very large.

The reason why he brought so many people to visit everywhere was to confirm the legend of the Celestial Empire, and also to negotiate with various Indian tribes to return them to the embrace of the Ming Empire.

Judging from the current situation, the Indian tribes have no resistance to the return to the Ming Empire, after all, the British colonists have taught them a good lesson, and if they don't throw themselves into the arms of the Ming Empire, they are ready to accept the butcher's knife of the British colonists.

Life and death, this is a very simple multiple-choice question, no one will choose to die inexplicably, they definitely want to live.

It's just that they don't know how to get in touch with the Celestial Empire, and what they have to do to return to the embrace of the Ming Empire, and Zhao Mingfeng wants to talk to them about this.

Due to the message from the western tribes, the envoy of the Ming Empire of the Celestial Empire will descend on the Azina tribe today, and the chieftain of the Azina tribe has long been waiting on the grassland west of the tribe with a large number of warriors.

Towards evening, there was finally a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and soon, more than a hundred horsemen appeared in the distance.

This should be the messenger of the Ming Empire of the Celestial Empire, and the chief of the Azina tribe couldn't wait to meet him with his warriors.

However, he was a little dumbfounded when he came to the front of the more than 100 riders.

This, it seems, is that all the warriors of the Seattle tribe, and the totems painted on their bodies are obviously the totems of the famous Seattle tribes.

He had already heard that the Ming Empire of the Celestial Empire had descended on the Seattle tribe, question, what about the envoys of the Ming Empire?

Although he didn't see the messenger of the Celestial Empire, he greeted him warmly, exchanged greetings with the leading Seattle tribal warriors, and then leaned over and gave him a hug.

After hugging, he couldn't help but ask, "What about the envoy of the Celestial Empire, didn't you say that the envoy of the Celestial Empire is coming today?" “

Now it was Zhao Mingfeng's turn to be dumbfounded, he had learned the greetings, and he would also know the etiquette of hugging, but he couldn't understand what the chief said!

He couldn't help but look back at the two Mongolian interpreters and ask them to explain what the chief was talking about.

Seeing this, the two Mongolian interpreters hurriedly came up, one of them repeated the words of the chief of the Azina tribe in Chinese, and the other introduced it to the chief of the Azina tribe in Indian.

As soon as the translator's words fell, the eyes of the chief of the Azina tribe were about to pop out, and he couldn't help but look Zhao Mingfeng up and down.

Is this the messenger of the Celestial Empire? No matter how you look at it, it's exactly like the Indians!

At this point, he no longer has any doubts about the legend, the Indians are definitely the remnants of the Celestial Empire, haven't they seen that their faces and skin colors are exactly the same as their own!

With such a "cognition", he became more enthusiastic about Zhao Mingfeng, and there was even a hint of admiration in his enthusiasm, it was obvious that he had regarded himself as a citizen of the Celestial Empire.

Zhao Mingfeng, with the help of a translator, told the story with ease.

First of all, he tells the story of the Bering Strait, that is, there is a very shallow sea area in the extreme north of the two continents, and this sea area will directly become a passage connecting the two continents when the dynasty retreats, and it is through this passage that the ancestors of the Indians came to the American continent.

Later, the sea slowly eroded, and the sea level rose, the passage gradually broke off, and the ancestors of the Indians lost contact with the Celestial Empire.

Then, he told the story of the Mongolian people who were drifted by a storm at sea, which is the story of the Mongolian people translating their ancestors, and they introduced it naturally, which is more realistic.

In the end, Zhao Mingfeng pointed directly to his skin and his face, without saying anything, he understood at a glance that everyone was his own person!

The chief of the Azina tribe was naturally convinced of this, and the two talked and laughed all the way, and soon became their own people.

After entering the Azina tribe, everyone inevitably encountered onlookers again, and almost all the people of the Azina tribe ran over, all wanting to see what the legendary messenger of the Celestial Empire looked like.

Needless to say, Zhao Mingfeng didn't need to say, when everyone knew that he was the envoy of the Celestial Empire, everyone looked at him like a god.

The warriors of the Seattle tribe were also stained, and everyone looked at them with envy.

To be with the envoy of the Celestial Empire, and to be wearing such beautiful pants, is really enviable.

After arriving at the residence of the chief of the Azina tribe, it was normal to give gifts, and Zhao Mingfeng ordered everyone to take out all the gifts in the backpack and directly piled them up in the living room of the chief's house.

Cloth, porcelain, tea, spices, wine, mirrors, trousers, and other household items, as well as all kinds of fine knives, binoculars, and even revolvers, were introduced in the same way, and Chief Azina's mouth could not be closed.

Immediately after that, it was time for a sumptuous dinner, where everyone sat outside on the flat ground, and countless Indian delicacies were served in turn, chatting while eating, and it was very lively.

Before you know it, the sky is dark, a huge bonfire is lit in the middle of the flat ground, and the well-fed people begin to dance wildly, and laughter resounds throughout the Azena tribe.

Zhao Mingfeng answered several questions that the chiefs of the Azina tribe were most concerned about one by one during the time between eating and drinking.

For example, how to keep in touch with the Great Tomorrow Dynasty.

This is very simple, you can follow them to Jinshan City to recognize the road, or you can wait for the Great Tomorrow Dynasty to build the railway, build a large city nearby, and then go directly to the city to contact.

Another example, how to return to the embrace of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty.

This is also very simple, as long as everyone regards themselves as the people of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, the Great Tomorrow Dynasty will also treat them as people, there are not many requirements for them, and there are not many constraints, just assist the Great Tomorrow Dynasty to find mines, and the Great Tomorrow Dynasty will not force them to do other things.

Of course, they can also go to work in the city established by the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, earn some money, buy some things they want, or exchange their own specialties for what they want, these are all okay.

The Ming did not want to plunder the wealth from them, they generally lived a self-sufficient life, and there was nothing to plunder, Zhu Cijiong mainly valued their labor, once they got used to using the things of the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely go to the city established by the Ming Dynasty to work and make money, so that they would slowly assimilate, and one day they would become exactly the same as the people of the Ming Empire.

As for taxes, they themselves do not create much wealth, and it makes little difference whether they pay or not, it is better not to pay taxes to increase their intimacy and quickly gain their approval, so that it is easier to assimilate.
