After another four days of walking, the army finally arrived at the territory of the Black Forest Tribe.

As soon as he entered the territory, Zhang Sanfeng found that more than a dozen survivors who had been hiding that day were looking at them with some dementia.

He sighed helplessly and asked these people to take care of them.

"Search again! Dig out everything in the house! Yan Zheng gave the order.

Two platoons of soldiers immediately began to search, and in a short time a lot of things were found in the house.

Yan Zheng looked for it in this pile of things, and soon found a string of copper coins, and when he picked it up, he found that it said Yuanfeng Tongbao!

He didn't know which dynasty it was, he only felt a tingling in his scalp, and he was faintly happy.

This place has been connected with China since ancient times, indicating that this place is not far from the Chinese Dynasty.

"How many tribes are there near the river?" Yan Zheng asked again.

"I know that there are four tribes upstream, and I know three tribes downstream!" Zhang Sanfeng replied.

Yan Zheng thought for a while and said: "Don't worry about the upstream, let's rest for a day, take the army downstream, and greet all the tribes along the river until we see the sea!" ”

Several platoon commanders nodded and went down separately to assign tasks. Let the soldiers take turns to be on guard, bury the pot to cook, and clean up the thatched huts left by the Black Forest Department by the way.

Yan Zheng took Lu Wan to the river and erected a wooden sign by the river. He saw that the river was wide, the water flow was slow and the water was clear, and it looked like a silver belt from a distance, so he named it Beidai River.

"The heavy rain falls on Youyan, the white waves are surging, and the fishing boats outside Qinhuangdao are blowing. I don't see a single ocean, I know who I am on! ”

He read this poem lightly, and after a few days, his heart changed from initial panic to faint excitement.

This excitement comes from what he has learned, what he has mastered. In a more civilized era, in a feudal era, the cause he made could be even greater!

So some young and frivolous dreams gradually emerged again - that is, the Ethnographic Museum!

Can you have an ethnographic museum in primitive times? No! Only in this age, which is already a little civilized, can you make an ethnographic museum!

Yan Zheng laughed, things have to be seen dialectically, disadvantages are always accompanied by benefits.

As long as he thinks about the future, he can collect a bunch of maids of different colors and regions to serve him like a stamp collector, he thinks it is a great thing!

…………

The next day, after a day's rest, the army marched down the Beidai River under the leadership of Lu Wan.

The water was gentle, and all the soldiers were in a good mood, after all, it was the happiest thing to be able to walk by water.

Yan Zheng also had to sigh at the extent of the dense water network in this place.

The distance between the Yan'an River and this river is estimated to be very short, as long as all the dense forests are cut down, it can be turned into a large area of good land for communication.

They soon discovered the first tribe along the coast, and Yan Zheng asked Zhang Sanfeng to take a platoon to communicate with him first.

The other party was very knowledgeable, and silently took out some treasures collected by the tribe.

After Yan Zheng saw it, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, this tribe also has copper coins and a harpoon-like thing.

This shows that in this region, the activities of overseas people are still quite frequent.

It's just that he was a little worried, if he continued to trace the river to the beach, he would find a certain European-style bastion.

If that were the case, he would have to keep going. even have to take Mona to comprador together.

Because if you don't work as a comprador for a few years first, you can't get enough capital to fight against the great powers of the Age of Discovery.

Continuing downstream, I met three more tribes along the way, and in these three tribes, some things that did not belong to the primitive society were also found.

This further confirmed Yan Zheng's guess, and about half a day later, they found another tribe, and this tribe was also very talkative.

When he saw that there were many people on Yan Zheng's side, and they were carrying knives one by one, they immediately staged a play of sending food to women.

Yan Zheng felt very strange, were these people used to being abused? How can you be so docile?

When asked, they learned that this tribe had fought against a group of men with knives, and they knew that it was impossible to fight at all.

So when I saw a similar group of people, I immediately knelt down, so as not to make any more massacre.

Yan Zheng kindly told them that he was the god son of Monabu and would not kill people indiscriminately, and returned the girl, leaving only food, and took out some furs and refined salt to give to the tribe.

This made the tribe surprised and a little overjoyed at the same time.

When he set off again, Yan Zheng's face became a little solemn, and he felt that it was necessary to change his attitude towards the tribes along the river, and he couldn't exterminate the tribe at every turn.

Since there can be other armed forces to patronize here, in the face of such foreign forces, it is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united.

In other words, these tribes suddenly have united front value!

"Our future expansion focus should be on the other side of the Yan'an River!" Sitting on the bamboo raft, Yan Zheng said suddenly.

An San glanced back at him and asked, "Why don't you expand to the lower reaches of the Yan'an River first?" ”

Yan Zheng said with a smile: "The downstream tribes, we should take more direct measures to quickly naturalize them!" ”

"A more direct means?"

"Well, just wipe them all out, and capture all their men and women into the prisoner of war camp!" Yan Zheng said coldly.

"Why is it so urgent?" Ansan asked again.

Yan Zheng looked at the horizon in the distance and said, "I don't have so much time to rub shoulders with them, and our expansion on the other side of the Yan'an River is first to eliminate the headquarters of the Mao Wu Society!"

There is also the headquarters of the Kishiri Society, and we have to find a way to get rid of it, and all the headquarters of the Society are not allowed to exist in this area! ”

After thinking for a while, Ansan asked, "Is it because of the presence of overseas people that we have to change our strategy?" ”

"That's right! If there is such an organizational form as a society, then if they come into contact with people from overseas, they may be trained to become agents!

They will be used to contain us, to interfere with us! This possibility, as long as it exists, is a great threat to us! ”

Yan Zheng said slowly: "I will not allow anyone to involve our pace in the internal fighting, so we must eliminate the headquarters of these societies as soon as possible, and all the tribes that rely on the river, as long as the lower reaches of the Yan'an River, we need to get rid of them to prevent them from coming into contact with people overseas!" ”

"What about the river!" Ansan asked.

Yan Zheng smiled faintly and said: "All our policies must be changed and formulated with time, place, and conditions, for the North Belt River, we need to make friends with these tribes, and when we thoroughly digest the middle ground from the Yan'an River to the North Belt River, we can kick them away!" ”

"And by maintaining friendship with these tribes, we have a pair of eyes to keep an eye on this side for us, thus strategically forming a siege of this middle ground!"

An San nodded, knowing that the stakes were high, otherwise Yan Zheng would not have made such a major adjustment.
