63. The people of Joned

At this time, a gray-robed priest who was preaching in the Baltic Sea region brought a devout Yoned, the Holy Religion is the New Tengri Religion, to introduce Ye Feng to the information of the Yonedians in the Baltic Sea region. Ye Feng was very happy about this www.biquge.info after all, with one more leading party, the cause of the expedition would be much easier.

The three major ethnic groups of Europe during the ancient Roman period were the Germanic peoples, the Celts, and the Slavs.

And what Ye Feng is about to face now is the West Slavs, that is, the Ioneds.

In order to win over and ask for some information about the Yoned, Ye Feng chose to invite the Yonedan to his dinner.

At night, in Ye Feng's tent, a candle was lit, and Ye Feng knelt on a large golden carpet. On a small brown wooden table, on top of an antique wooden table, on a yellow solid wooden plate lay a few pieces of hard beef, the size of half a man's palm, and on several wooden plates, there were several pieces of solidified cheese, giving off an enticing milky aroma.

Of course, several copper flasks are also filled with wine and milk wine.

Ye Feng picked up a piece of beef with his bare hands, chewed it in a big mouthful, and a smell of meat slid into his mouth, the strong beef tasted great, but it was slightly hard, if the mouth was not good, it was not very delicious.

In order to take care of the diet of the Yonedes, Ye Feng also prepared pieces of black and hard black bread, which were neatly placed on brown wooden plates, as well as two sharp knives that could cut meat and cheese and kill.

As Ye Feng's chief guard, Ulding was standing outside the yurt, and he was wearing the best equipment that could be found in this era, extremely heavy scale armor, almost one and a half times the weight of heavy scale armor. Heavy iron-scaled armor seemed to be nothing on his body, a long sword at his waist, and a pair of vigilant eyes roamed the four directions.

"The people of Yonedh have arrived!"

Ulding yelled outside the tent, Ye Feng didn't speak, he slowly finished chewing the beef, tidied up his dress, smoothed out the folds of the apostle's golden robe, and coughed.

The gray-robed apostle walked into Ye Feng's tent with the Yonedan in small steps. Both the Slavs and the Germanic people were Aryans, so the Jønedan also had typical Aryan characteristics, blonde hair and white skin. Because of his Slavic nature, the Yonedan had higher cheekbones, less deep-set eyes, and lighter hair.

The Yonedan bowed slightly, saluted Ye Feng, but said unhurriedly:

"Nichidan"

After saying that, the Yonedan bowed slightly. This stunned Ye Feng, what? Good day?

Then the man of Yonedan muttered a lot of words that he didn't understand, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, looked sideways at the gray-robed priest, and motioned for him to translate, and the poor priest who was in a frenzy of admiration for the apostle and the excitement reacted, and responded with a straight face:

"The man of Jonede said his name was Zhidan"

Ye Feng frowned, Ridan, I'm still every day. The gray-robed priest saw the doubt in Ye Feng's eyes, and hurriedly said:

"Zhidan means child of hope in Jonedan in Jöně German, and the following are the exact words of Zhidan:

To the apostles of the Immortal Heavens, with great respect...

Your faithful servant Zhidan greets you!

Since you don't know us Joned, I'm going to give you a detailed introduction...

May the light of the Lord shine on the Baltic Sea, and the Huns and the Ionedians will be very friendly relations. ”

Ye Feng picked up the knife, cut the cheese into several pieces, and carefully put it into his mouth, a milky aroma hit, this soft feeling was very good. While listening carefully to the gray-robed priest's narration, he nodded yes from time to time.

According to Zhidan's intelligence, the Ionedians do not yet have their own written language, and their religious beliefs are pan-naturalistic. But at this stage, the Yoneds also had a unique form of social organization called "zadruga", that is, a patriarchal family based on clan blood, including children and grandchildren born to the same father and wives and children, as many as dozens of people, who lived together, worked together, and shared the means of production and surplus products. Matriarchs and men have a lot of power.

The Jonedes, like the Germanic peoples, had a strong village community system, and in contrast to Rome's prosperous slave economy, there was no widespread use of slaves, and prisoners of war were treated as freemen.

The Yoneds are polytheistic and believe in pantheism, worshipping the gods of thunder, electricity, heaven, sun, and fire.

On top of that, the Jonedes are currently in an agrarian civilization, with agriculture becoming the main production activity, as well as animal husbandry, fishing, and beekeeping. Of course, the handicraft industry has also developed rapidly, and the metallurgical industry, textile industry, leather industry, wood industry, and pottery industry have developed extensively.

Ye Feng heard this, and smiled slightly, it seems that these Yonedes are not destitute, they will be a good stepping stone for me to achieve great things, a great help.

As a gift to Ridan, Ye Feng made Ridan, as a student of the gray-robed priest, become a probationary priest and learn the sacred script and the Hungarian language, which is simplified Chinese characters.

Ridan stopped at the news, his face was full of excitement and excitement, his big beautiful blue eyes, full of gratitude and admiration, bowed down and said:

"May I serve the Lord and may the apostles live forever!"

Then Didan owed a body and left with the gray-robed priest.

Ye Feng closed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to deal with the Yoneds.

According to the information of Zhidan of Joned, the vast majority of Slavs did not have a good impression of the Huns, because they were forced to come here by the previous invasion of the Huns. The westward advance of the Huns was not achieved overnight, but gradually and slowly. Ye Feng didn't think anyone had a good opinion of the intruder.

But he could take advantage of the scattered relations between the Yoneds. The Yoneds, who have not yet formed a nation, are a broad tribal alliance in which the leaders of the various tribes fight each other for power, and many of the tribes are mortal enemies.

Ye Feng decided not to take an aggressive posture against these Yoneds, because it was very likely to unite the scattered Yoneds, which would be extremely unfavorable to Ye Feng's expeditionary force.

Thinking about it, Ye Feng gradually fell asleep.

The next day, the journey continued, and as the weather cooled down, the soldiers put on leather coats made of animal fur. Ye Feng also put on a bearskin coat, feeling the warmth and slight cool breeze on his body, and felt extremely comfortable.

The next morning, he summoned the gray-robed priests who were missionaries in the Baltic region, and commanded him by the will of the Lord to take the Jonedite Zhdan with them, so that they could go with peace to meet the weak tribes of Joned, who were humiliated by the powerful tyrant.
