The Central Plains people conquered many places.

Even in the current continent of Europa, the legend of the terrifying Mongolian iron horse is still circulating.

Although that was already something that belonged to the former Yuan Dynasty more than a hundred years ago.

However, from the historical context, the former yuan also belongs to an important part of the Central Plains cultural system.

Now.

For the first time, the people of the Central Plains have set foot on a new continent, and they are about to appear in front of a new human race for the first time.

The Ming army of more than 300 people, in the shape of a wild goose formation, crossed rivers and slopes from the great plains of western North America and stood on the slopes.

At the bottom of the slope is a gathering place for human beings.

The primitive appearance made Zhu Yunwen, Sun Cheng and others think that they had seen the scenes of human life in ancient times recorded in the history books of the Central Plains.

The low house, crudely made of tree trunks, had no windows, and only one door to enter and exit.

It's said that it's a door, but it's actually just an opening for people to enter and exit.

It was getting late.

If it is placed in the Central Plains, the people of the Ming Dynasty, who are gradually getting better, have begun to light candles and oil lamps.

Here, the room was a black hole, and only the fire lit in the middle of the entire gathering place emitted a dim light and threw it into the room, bringing a glimmer of light.

The gathering place was artificially constructed into a circle.

Circles were kept at fixed intervals, and in the middle of the houses made of tree trunks, there were small piles of fires.

The smoke from the stove seen from a distance is coming from these fires.

At this moment, there are many thinly dressed people around the fire, as if preparing food.

Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng's eyes widened.

This was the first time that the Ming found the aborigines in this new land.

Everything here needs to be written down in detail and then transmitted back to heaven.

The people here have yellow-brown skin, which is about the same color as the people of the Central Plains.

The same jet-black hair, but with more hairstyle options.

Hair is loose, braided by both men and women, or a few brightly colored bird feathers are stuck in their heads.

Occasionally, a few men can be seen wearing hat-like headdresses made of intricate, more colorful bird feathers.

And in this climate that has entered autumn, these people are very thinly dressed.

Most people have large swathes of bare skin on their bodies, with equally brightly colored beads hanging from their necks and chests, and large or small red and blue wraps around their waists or shoulders.

Some of the more sturdy men wore horns that seemed to be made of ox horns around their waists.

A couple of horses were tied to the side of the house just by putting a rope in their noses.

The reason why they are called horses, rather than war horses, is that these horses no longer have the saddles and stirrups that Central Plains horses are equipped with, except for the rope that passes through the nose.

If it weren't for those ropes, Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng would definitely feel that these horses would be the same as the horses in the wild horse herd they had encountered on this grassland before.

"Our language and the other party must be different, how can we negotiate later?" Sun Cheng lay on the slope, staring intently at the aboriginal gathering place below the slope.

Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips: "Just treat them as dumb and deaf, let's just show them a big deal." ”

Sun Cheng nodded, this is the only way now.

If these people are willing to negotiate with them.

But if these people are unwilling to negotiate, then they don't have to struggle to compare, and they have only one option: using a knife.

"Let's go together?"

Sun Cheng asked another question.

He inspected the aboriginal gathering place below with the military method, and the number was about 120 people.

If more than 300 of them passed together, the other party would definitely be afraid and jealous because of the difference in numbers between the two sides.

But if there are fewer people going, if something happens, their safety will inevitably be challenged.

Zhu Yunwen snorted: "Let's go together, I will act in the royal way, and I must do things above board." Wait a minute, remember, unless the other person actually does something to us, no matter what happens, don't act rashly. ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were gloomy, watching Sun Cheng pass on his words layer by layer.

In his opinion, this new continent is full of mysteries.

He saw many animals that he had never heard of before, and he also saw many plants that were not found in the Central Plains.

They even discovered large bare deposits of high-quality gold as they traversed mountains and river valleys.

The moment Zhu Yunwen saw with his own eyes that there were original inhabitants on this new continent, he had already determined that if they wanted to conquer this continent as quickly as possible, they must obtain the approval and submission of these original inhabitants in front of them.

Zhu Yunwen stood up and cleaned up his robe by the way.

On either side of him, an officer and soldier stood up.

The sudden change soon attracted the attention of the Indians on the great plains of western North America beneath the slope.

Luxurious clothes, a long knife hanging from the waist, a burly body.

In an instant, the Indians became vigilant.

The women jumped up quickly and carried the children around them into the house.

The men gathered and held long sticks with sharpened ends.

Theoretically, for these Indians, in their hands were their weapons, wooden spears.

But in the eyes of Zhu Yunwen and others, this can really only be described as a 'sharp wooden stick'.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Sun Cheng beside him.

Sun Cheng understood, and immediately smiled, holding up a salt bag and a piece of smoked bacon with both hands.

Sun Cheng took the lead, Zhu Yunwen followed, and the other officers and soldiers began to slowly approach the Indian gathering place below the slope in a wild goose formation.

There was a clattering shout from the gathering place.

The Indians looked shocked and terrified.

It was only because of the friendliness shown by Sun Cheng, who was at the forefront, that these Indians did not think that the enemy was coming to the door.

The Indians began to walk out of the gathering place, their weapons clutched tightly in their hands.

The two sides are getting closer.

When there were still about thirty paces between the two sides, the Indians began to stop, and made a gesture to Zhu Yunwen and them to prohibit any further approach.

Zhu Yunwen and the others immediately stopped.

Sun Cheng's hands, which had been up again, improved a little.

He glanced back at Zhu Yunwen, and then looked down at the saber at his waist.

Zhu Yunwen understood, walked to Sun Cheng's side, deliberately exposed his eyes in front of the Indians opposite, and took off Sun Cheng's saber.

"Put it on the ground in front of them."

Sun Cheng reminded him, and Zhu Yunwen did so.

Then Sun Cheng took about ten steps forward, his eyes always fixed on the Indian led by the opposite, slowly squatted down, and put the salt bag and smoked bacon on the ground.

After putting it down, Sun Cheng felt that this was not enough to show.

He opened the bag of salt, inserted a finger, glued some fine crystal salt, and showed it to the Indians, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

Then Sun Cheng tore off a small piece of smoked bacon with both hands, put it in his mouth in front of the Indians in front of him, and ate it into his stomach.

The faces of the Indians gradually softened, and they lost their previous nervousness and uneasiness, but they were still wary of the group of people who came from nowhere.

After Sun Cheng finished showing, he stretched out his hands forward and pointed twice at the salt bag and smoked bacon on the ground, and then slowly retreated to his original position step by step.

"These people are cautious, and I hope they understand what we're here for."

After Sun Cheng retreated, he didn't look away and whispered.

Zhu Yunwen nodded, this is the first positive communication between the two sides, and it is already full of uncertainty.

Opposite side.

The leader of the Indians, after observing Sun Cheng, Zhu Yunwen and others for a long time, turned his head to look at a tribesman holding a long wooden stick beside him.

The clansman held the long wooden stick tightly and stepped forward cautiously.

He did not go directly to the salt bag and smoked bacon that Sun Cheng threw on the ground, but inserted the smoked and dried bacon with a sharpened wooden stick, then picked up the salt bag, and continued to carefully retreat to the leader's side.

This clansman didn't need the leader to order, so he followed Sun Cheng's previous example and stuck a finger into the salt bag.

The crystal clear fine salt produced in the Lianghuai salt field of the Ming Dynasty instantly attracted the attention of several Indians around.

And the Indian tribesman, still with some uneasiness on his face, stuck out his tongue and gently licked the fine salt on his fingers.

The salty taste instantly burst out in the mouth of this clansman.

Seeing the eyes of the Indian, he immediately widened and turned his head to look at the leader.

Under the gaze of Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng, I saw the person opposite babbling at the leader, and then the leader was the same.

Salt.

One of the indispensable items for human beings.

When the Indian leader tasted the salt, the bag of salt was naturally hidden in the sack around his waist.

Next up is the smoked bacon.

After determining the salt, the Indian finally relented this time, and seemed to be afraid that the leader would take it all, this time the tribesman tore off a piece of bacon that far exceeded the need for identification and stuffed it into his mouth.

After tasting the flavor of smoked bacon.

The clansman nodded heavily at the leader.

Naturally, the leader tasted a small piece of it, and then the piece of bacon went into the cloth bag around his waist as usual.

Then, under the gaze of Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng, these Indians began to gather together and discuss something in a whisper.

Not much.

Several women stepped out from behind the men.

The large wooden bowl dug out of the stake was filled with a mushy food that emitted a strange smell.

The women, like Sun Cheng before, just put the food in the middle of the two sides.

As a native of the Central Plains, whether it is Zhu Yunwen or Sun Cheng, he already has the power to be picky about food.

Such mushy food, even in the army, will only eat one or two bites when the army is in a hurry.

And it is also very characteristic of the Central Plains, in line with the taste of the Central Plains people.

It's just that the salt and smoked bacon they brought, the other party has already tasted it. Naturally, it was impossible for them to refuse to taste each other's food.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Sun Cheng, he felt that it was better to leave this kind of thing of tasting new things and increasing new knowledge to Sun Cheng.

Sun Cheng rolled his eyes, and after making sure that the women were all retreating, he stepped forward again.

"Don't even have a spoon?"

Sun Cheng lowered his head and looked at the big bowl of paste in front of him, and whispered.

Then he could only take out a little paste with his hands in front of the Indians on the other side and stuff it into his mouth.

Strange taste.

Strange smell.

Strange food.

It's not delicious, but it's not unpleasant either.

If it was unpalatable, these people wouldn't eat it.

Seeing Sun Cheng eat the food of the tribe, the Indians finally had a smile on their faces.

The leader, escorted by his clansmen, walked up to Sun Cheng and spread his arms.

But Sun Cheng just stood up, then turned sideways and looked at Zhu Yunwen behind him.

It's the rule.

Even if the two sides don't understand the language, he has to let these people understand that Zhu Yunwen is the person with the highest power and status in this new land of the Ming Dynasty.

Since crossing that frozen strait, Sun Cheng has always felt that maybe one day in the future, Zhu Yunwen, a young man, will reappear in the Ming Dynasty Hall with another face and status.

The empire's first vassal king in the New World?

Maybe it's a good chance of coming true.

Seeing Sun Cheng's performance, although the Indian leader on the opposite side couldn't understand the language of these people, he could understand what the other party meant.

The leader glanced at the more than 300 officers and soldiers behind Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng, and stretched out his finger.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Sun Cheng, who seemed to intend to use Sun Cheng as an envoy between the two sides.

Sun Cheng was a little helpless, but he could only start to gesture with his hands, and his mouth imitated some sounds like beasts.

Soon, the Indian leaders understood that these more than 300 officers and soldiers were protecting Zhu Yunwen's safety.

In the same way, the leader also knew that Zhu Yunwen was from a very distant and powerful force.

As for how powerful?

In the hands of the man who kept making comparisons, the leader could no longer imagine.

After all, if a random person comes out, there can be more than 300 guards, and such a thing does not exist in this land.

When the sky was completely dark, the fire in the Indian gathering place finally played its original role and emitted a bright light.

Sun Cheng's representative, Zhu Yunwen, declined the invitation of the Indian leader, and instead chose to set up camp on the edge of the other party's gathering place.

When the Indians saw that these people had built tents with cloth, they were shocked, and they became even more curious and in awe of the powerful force in the comparison.

When Sun Cheng took out a pot of wine and fed it to the mouth of the Indian leader.

After a brief meeting in the evening, a young Indian girl appeared outside Sun Cheng's tent.
