Chapter 107: Alternative Conquest
"Snow, you translate it, just say that we will buy all these prey with gold, and let them enter Xinhua City if they want, and we will not have anyone to stop them. However, if they want to enter Xinhua City, they must follow the rules of Xinhua City. ”
Zhao Weiji had just finished speaking, and the group of hunters just now were a little unhappy, but just when they were about to speak out against it, Zhao Weiji gestured to them, meaning to let them calm down for a while.
Since the prince has expressed his position, they are not good enough to oppose it, and they can only see what the idea of the prince is.
And Snow completely translated Zhao Weiji's words to this group of Indians. The Indians were glad to hear this, for there was gold to be gained.
However, they did not immediately express their position regarding entering Xinhua City, but they promised to bring Zhao Weiji's words to their leader.
So Zhao Weiji asked people to pay, and then the hunters carried these prey and everyone went home.
However, on the way back to the city, because the hunters really didn't understand Zhao Weiji's reluctant behavior, they had the audacity to ask:
"Why did the prince pay those people gold, they were unreasonable, we don't need to swallow our anger like this, not only that, but the prince also invited them to Xinhua City. These actions made the villain a little unfigured. ”
Of course, Zhao Weiji knew that his actions just now would cause the dissatisfaction of these hunters, but the thing that pleased him was that they had endured it until now that no one asked.
However, Zhao Weiji had already prepared a rhetoric that could appease them: "I know you are dissatisfied, but what should we do in that situation at that time is the wisest?" I don't think it's a wise choice to reason with that group of people, and I think you have learned from the contact just now that that group of people is not reasonable people at all. ”
When Zhao Weiji said this, the hunters all nodded, and the group of people couldn't reason with them at all, and it was polite to say that they were barbaric.
"Since it can't be reasonable, what else can be done? Gather the guards from Xinhua City and kill them? I don't think you can do anything like that. ”
Orions think about it, this is also the reason, we can't bite back because we were bitten by a dog, or just kill this dog, it's nothing more than a prey, and it's not enough to kill people.
But although the words were said so, the breath in his heart still couldn't be swallowed, so another person said: "But even so, we can't swallow our anger like this, with us people, even if we take away all these prey directly, I don't think that group of people may have the ability to stop us." ”
"That's true, but don't you think that if we do this, we won't have a chance to contact that group of people again?"
"Why do we have to contact those people?" Now not only the hunters can't figure it out, but even Snow and Ling Huhuang can't figure it out.
"I know you can't figure it out, but that's because you haven't been in contact with this group of people, so let Snow tell you about the characteristics of that group of people." At this time, Zhao Weiji did not explain why he continued to contact the Indians, but kicked the ball to Snow.
"Snow, tell me, what are the characteristics of those people?" Everyone's curiosity was teased by Zhao Weiji, so Snow suffered.
"Features? Wait for me to think about it. Snow thought about it again and again, as if there were no characteristics worth mentioning, "Judging from the other group of people we have met before, they are nothing more than simple and kind. However, the group of people I met today didn't seem to see this characteristic. ”
"Think about it again, what else? I think about it from dressing. Seeing that Snow didn't come up with it, Zhao Weiji couldn't help but remind him.
"Dressed? They don't wear much clothes, do they? By the way, they seem to have a lot of gold ornaments, quite a lot of gold. ”
As soon as Snow said this, the others seemed to react to something.
"What do you mean, Lord Wang?"
"I think you've all understood something, those people are actually no different from the barbarians, they are very backward, but they are gold. You have a group of people who have gold first, but many of them have never seen anything later, how will they react once they enter Xinhua City? ”
"Naturally, I'm curious."
"In that case, is it possible for us to get all the gold back from them?"
"It's possible."
Having said that, Zhao Weiji didn't have to continue, because now these people understood why Zhao Weiji had to swallow his anger so much and retain the possibility of continuing to contact with that group of people.
It's just that what they understand is only a small part of Zhao Weiji's whole plan, and in Zhao Weiji's whole plan, the most important thing is to Sinicize a large number of Indians into his people in North America.
Zhao Weiji is very confident in this point.
From the perspective of the development process of human history, high-level civilizations have a natural attraction to low-level civilizations, and most low-level civilizations are generally assimilated by high-level civilizations.
In particular, the history of China is the most convincing, and throughout the history of China, most of the minority civilizations that were dissolved from the Central Plains were eventually sinicized.
Whether it was the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Di or Qiang during the Wuhu Chaos period, or the later Turkic, Khitan, and Jurchen, almost all of them were sinicized.
The only exception is the Mongols, but that is also because the Mongols have already come into contact with the Christian civilization and Islamic civilization of the same magnitude as the Central Plains civilization before they came into contact with the Central Plains civilization.
Moreover, the Mongols who refused to sinicize did not verify the words of their ancestors in the end: Hu Lu has no luck for a hundred years, and he will return to the desert after ruling the Central Plains for more than 90 years.
Therefore, the assimilation ability of Han culture is very terrifying, in fact, there is another side example that can prove the horror of the assimilation ability of the Han people, that is, the Jews.
As early as the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Jews migrated to the Central Plains. And the Jews are known as the most unlikely race in the world to assimilate. But the Jews who migrated to the Central Plains were no longer any different from the Han Chinese after a few centuries.
In view of the assimilation ability of the Han people, Zhao Weiji was fully sure that he would assimilate these Indians in a short period of time after making full contact with them.
The reason is very simple, first of all, the civilization level of these Indians is very low, and they cannot resist the temptation of the advanced civilization of the Han people.
Then Zhao Weiji had full confidence that these Indians became dependent on the materials in Xinhua City, such as salt or iron tools.
Moreover, if the Indians are really Chinese remnants as the legend says, then they will have a natural affinity for Chinese culture, which will accelerate the process of their sinicization.
Sure enough, on the third day after the incident, Zhao Weiji received a report in the city hall, saying that there was a group of strangely dressed people outside the city, saying that they were looking for the city lord and wanted to enter the city.
After receiving this news, Zhao Weiji decisively took Snow to check, and it should be those Indians if nothing else.
Sure enough, when they reached the location outside the city as mentioned by the squire, there was really a large group of Indians gathered outside the city, and the leader should be the chief judging by the amount of gold ornaments he carried.
Zhao Weiji talked with Snow in the past and came to a positive conclusion that the person who should be the chief was the chief, and he led the people over in the hope of being able to enter the city to have a look, and by the way, some material exchanges.
Zhao Weiji naturally had no reason to oppose this request, he wished that this group of Indians could enter the city, but out of responsibility for the safety of the people in the city, Zhao Weiji still had to ask Snow to introduce the basic laws of the city to the Indian chieftain, so as not to have another incident.
When Snow told the Indian chief about the basic laws in the city, Zhao Weiji happened to take the time to look at the Indians.
In Zhao Weiji's impression, the Indians in North America did not develop any advanced civilization, and the representative Mayan civilization, the Aztec civilization and the Inca civilization, which are representative of the Indian civilization, were all produced in Central and South America.
There have even been archaeological confirmations that most of the Indian civilization in North America has always stayed in the matriarchal clan stage, although they have certain agricultural technology, but the social form has not developed much. The group of Indians in front of them should be those who are still in the matrilineal clan stage.
Zhao Weiji believed that with the advanced culture of the Central Plains, it should be easy to conquer them.
And from Zhao Weiji's investigation just now, he found that this group of Indians actually carried a large amount of supplies, maybe they wanted to enter the city to see if they could exchange for the materials they needed.
However, in Zhao Weiji's opinion, if the materials brought by these Indians were to be exchanged through barter, they did not want to exchange them for any materials in Xinhua City. Because the materials they brought were not lacking in Xinhua City.
Thinking of this, Zhao Weiji secretly muttered a few words in Snow's ear, meaning to let Snow find an opportunity to talk to the Indian chieftain that if barter could not be exchanged for what they needed, they could exchange it for gold.
And Snow also added this sentence after explaining the decree.
However, the Indian chief did not take the latter sentence to heart, and all her energy was focused on the decree in Snow's mouth, which was actually nothing that could not be done after entering the city.
Because in the heart of this Indian chief, she didn't think that there was anything too great about Xinhua City, and she was very confident in what her tribe had taken out.
Even she wasn't confident that she would get what they needed, she came here out of curiosity.
But she didn't expect that when she entered Xinhua City, her world would change.
