"What's your name?" Wen Tianxiang asked with a smile, his demeanor can be said to be a standard generation of Confucians who are educating barbarians.

The Mingzhou expedition team has set foot on the land of the New World, but unlike the situation imagined by Chen Dexing, these invaders armed to the teeth did not go ashore with teeth and claws, and then they took a sun and moon flag and stuck it on the ground, and they pulled out a big knife and announced with great momentum: The Mingzhou Continent is a sacred territory owned by His Royal Highness the Ming King, who is blessed by the Taiyi God, and who dares to covet it!

In fact, the invaders sent by Chen Dexing went ashore tremblingly and built the city with fear. 300 people (there are 290 members of the expedition team, 70 people accompanied by monks, Taoist priests, Confucian scholars, Japanese samurai and Japanese comfort women, 12 died of seasickness on the road, there are 348 people left, now 48 people are left to watch the boat, and 300 people are ashore), and the rest of the people were busy for two days and two nights, digging ditches, cutting trees and burying piles, and only then built a small castle on the beach on the north shore of the Jinshan Peninsula. It is said to be a castle, but in fact it is a shallow ditch plus a wooden fence and two watchtowers, as well as dozens of tents.

Wen Tianxiang is a gentleman and a champion, and Zhou Xiaoqi is embarrassed to send him any physical work, so he asked him to look at the Indian who was caught-what a muscular man, although he is not tall, but he is covered with healthy flesh all over his body, and Zhou Xiaoqi's heart is furious.

Although the weapons of the Indians sent by Meng Qi were not very good, they were all stone-polished, but who knows if they have copper and iron guys? Wild Tartars in Liaodong are sometimes hunted with bone arrows.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoqi gave Wen Tianxiang an incidental task to try to communicate with the captive. Inquire about the other party's reality and reality. For example, how many people there are, whether there is a court or not. There is no army, there is no city. What kind of weapons do they have, do they have horses, etc......

Of course, Wen Tianxiang can also use Confucian principles to educate this young Indian...... There is no class to teach! This indoctrination of the Indians was originally part of Chen Dexing's plan to conquer the New World!

If we don't educate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Indian Eight Banners, what strength will we rely on to settle the situation with at least tens of millions of Indians on the continent of North and South Mingzhou?

And Wen Tianxiang is also very enthusiastic about educating this Indian named lobster. He had already thought about it, if he couldn't return to Da Song for the time being. Then open a academy in Jinshan City (that is, a circle of wooden fences and dozens of large tents), accept some Indian students, and teach them some of the teachings of the saints......

In order to train Indian Confucian students, communication with Indians is the first step.

"Lobster" opened a pair of Indian-style triangular eyes, and looked at the big Confucian in front of him in horror. Da Ru has nothing, and the thin skin and tender flesh don't look like a warrior. But these men from the sea had very powerful weapons and ships as big as hills. During the two days of captivity, the "lobster" had already carefully observed these uninvited guests.

They were not strong, but they had many powerful weapons, such as the arrows that hit them were not ordinary stones. It's a very hard stone, I don't know where it was produced? They also seem to have ground the stone into long strips, as long as sticks, which could not be broken, and could be used to cut branches. It's amazing!

In addition, the animal skins worn by these people are also very strange, and it is not clear from any animal at all......

But Mr. Lobster's main concern now is not "hard stones". It's not a weird "hide", and it's not a ship as big as a hill. It's about whether there is human flesh in these outsiders' recipes!

He really wanted to ask if a certain Confucian liked to eat people? If you don't eat people. Will you sacrifice his blood...... Lobsters have heard some such legends, as if there are some big tribes in the south who like to kill people and bleed!

These weirdos who came in big ships couldn't have come from the south, right? The thought of being slaughtered, eaten meat, or bloodletted alive. The lobster trembled, nervous and terrified.

Wen Tianxiang asked several times, but he couldn't get an answer. Looking at the native who was tied up like a dumpling, he was trembling slightly. My heart softened. People are good as savages in Mingzhou, but now they are tied up, and they are left alone here and don't know when they will be slaughtered, which is really strange and pitiful.

Fortunately, I met a benevolent and righteous person like myself, and I think it is also the virtue of a good life in God.

Thinking of this, he sighed, and then took an atlas given to him by Yang Aguo, a one-armed Taoist of the Heavenly Taoist Sect, and opened it for the barbarian lobster to show - Chen Dexing had already thought of the problem of language barriers, so he thought of using the method of reading pictures to communicate with the Indians......

……

"Seventh brother, I've already asked clearly, the natives here have never seen copper and iron blades, only wood and stone tools, but they have seen gold ......"

Just when the expedition team had just settled down and most of the team members had begun to rest, Wen Tianxiang had already communicated with the "lobster" and figured out some things. Xing Chong rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army where Zhou Xiaoqi was.

"Oh? Can he understand you? Zhou Xiaoqi was bowing his head next to a table made of logs, looking at some of the stone tools that Meng had just sent - most of them were weapons, including stone axes, stone spears, and bone arrows.

"Where you can understand, you are looking at the picture, nodding if you have it, and shaking your head if you don't." Wen Tianxiang glanced at the things on the table, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" Another fight with the barbarians? ”

"In the morning," Zhou Xiaoqi nodded, "a small group of stragglers, they should have come to investigate, and they touched the people who were covered at the edge of the woods, and were driven back by our people with guns and crossbows." ”

"Captured a captive?"

"No...... The two sides were very far away and did not come close to fight. Zhou Xiaoqi said, "Champion Gong, what did you just say?" The natives here have no iron and copper, but they have gold? ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded, frowned, and said, "That's what that person said...... Gold is easy to obtain, but copper and iron are hard to find. It looks like there's a gold mine here! ”

"And it's easy to mine! Otherwise, these natives would not have been able to harvest gold. Zhou Xiaoqi smiled. With gold, there is no fear that no one will come to the Mingzhou Continent! ”

The current gold and silver ratio is one to four, that is, one tael of gold and four taels of silver, and it is replaced by a short catty of two Song copper coins (at this time, the copper coins are not only not in good condition, but also in short quantity, and the money should always be a thousand Wen, in fact, it is seven or eight hundred Wen) at least eight times.

In history, when the California Gold Rush was rising, tens of millions of dollars of gold were mined from California every year, and according to the price of gold at that time, it was almost millions of taels, which was converted into tens of millions of copper coins in the Song Dynasty in the 13th century!

With such a large amount of wealth attracted, there will naturally be a flood of gold diggers, and there will even be some princes and wealthy families who are attracted by gold and are willing to come to the New World to open a branch. Even if the sea is high and the waves are rough, it will be overcome by people's greed.

Historically, California's gold rush has attracted gold diggers from all over the world, including many Chinese.

Wen Tianxiang shook his head, his brows still not unraveled, "But there are a lot of natives here, although there are only wood and stone tools, but there are not many people!" ”

Zhou Xiaoqi sneered, "There are many people who are not afraid, as long as they dare to come, even if it is tens of thousands, there is a way to subdue them." I'm afraid that they will flee to the mountains and forests to engage in sneak attacks and ambushes. ”

"Seventh brother, what are you going to do?" Wen Tianxiang frowned.

Zhou Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Of course, it is to convince people with virtue and to convince people with ceremonies...... Zhuangyuangong, why don't you go get some delicious food and drink, invite the local man to enjoy, find a few more beautiful Japanese chicks to dance with him, and give him a spear with a knife as a spearhead, and then let him go! ”

Good food, drink, singing and dancing, and gifts before leaving, but to convince people with virtue, is it just so useful?

"Yes, of course it works!" Zhou Xiaoqi said to Wen Tianxiang, "There are not many people here, there are delicious food, delicious food, beautiful women, and good knives...... Isn't this a fat sheep? Can the natives not flock here? His tone suddenly sank, and he said coldly, "At that time, it's time to use thunder means!" ”

……

Eastern Mongolian steppe, on the shore of Yuerbo (** Lake). It's the crisp autumn season, and even the sky is bright and far-reaching in this season. The golden grasslands are densely covered with countless yurts. The white clouds are like flocks of sheep, flowing on the hillside. Between the whole heaven and the earth, it seems to be like a grassland landscape painting.

On the south shore of the clear Yuerbo, which looks like a blue spring, a huge yellow tent is guarded by countless yurts, which is the residence of the king of this wild grassland.

The Khan King of the Ulus, the younger brother of the Great Mongolian Emperor, Bol Jin. Tachar is now sitting in the yellow tent. His brows furrowed, and he looked at the other kings of the Mongolian host.

The Khan king of the Horus of Hesar, the Khan king of the Ulus of Belgutai, and the Khan king of the Urus of Hechiwen were all gathered together. These three and Tachar, who sat upright in the big tent, were all kings of Eastern Mongolia and Liaodong, and the warriors under their command together exceeded 150,000! is the descendants of today's Great Mongolian Xue Chan Khan Kublai Khan, and they are not as many as a few of them combined. Historically, they played a key role in the battle between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge. Tachar's power expanded greatly after the war, and when his grandson Naiyan was in power, he could even unite with Haidu to rebel and challenge Kublai Khan's throne!

But today, these four characters who originally stomped their feet in Liaodong and Eastern Mongolia were trembling, but they frowned and didn't say a word. The air pressure inside the big tent seemed to be getting lower and lower, and finally I couldn't even breathe when I was depressed!

I don't know how long it took before I heard Ta Cha'er sigh and said, "Whether it's fighting or leaving, you have something to say!" (To be continued......)
