Historically, some tribes in South America and North America fought, and if they were touched by each other, it meant losing, and the natives would consciously sit on the ground and wait to be captured.

Later, when the Europeans colonized the area, the natives would stop attacking when they encountered the Europeans, thinking that the Europeans would sit down and wait to be caught, but the Europeans did not understand the rules of the natives at all, and directly shot backhand.

And the natives here in Tai O also have their own rules.

Like the tribe in front of you, after the leader is captured or killed, it means that the tribe has failed.

Someone will flee, others will follow the rules and sit on the ground, waiting for the victors to capture them.

Of course, according to their rules, they are the slaves of the victor henceforth, but the victor must arrange for them to eat and drink.

But Xu Shishi doesn't understand.

About a third of the scene fled the basin after the uproar, but two-thirds were sitting on the ground, waiting to be taken prisoner.

Li Wangcai watched several people sitting on the ground, stepped forward and slashed three times with a knife, and then found that the other party had no resistance, and he was a little stunned for a while.

These natives are different from the Jiaozhi masters, stupid.

He saw that there were too many people sitting down at the scene, and he was a little panicked, so he wanted to cut them all, and moved forward with a knife.

"Don't kill it." Xu Shishi hurriedly stopped him.

Xu Shi carried the head of the local leader and walked over, and the local people saw him lying on the ground and kowtowing to him.

"Xu Baihu, is this taking you as the head?" Li Wangcai laughed: "If Xu Baihu doesn't return to the Central Plains, he can be an indigenous leader here." ”

The corners of Xu Shishi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't stop smiling bitterly.

They couldn't communicate with the natives, and Xu Shishi didn't want to kill more, so he first saved the family of the king of Qi, and then drove the natives to the foot of a mountain in the north.

There were many caves over there, and nearly 200 natives, men, women, and children, all cowered in horror at the foot of the mountain in the north, looking at the five Ming troops who were like wolves and tigers.

The flames kept burning, and the weather slowly darkened.

Xu Shishi asked Li Wangcai to take the dog back along the same road to see Li Chonghou and them, there was still smoke here.

When he was assigning a task, an elder native came boldly and pointed out to him.

Xu Shishi pointed at him and said a few words, and then the two looked at each other, not understanding what the other wanted to express.

Old Xu Tou thought about it, rushed over and pushed and bumped, forcing the natives into the hole one by one.

The natives seemed to understand, and they retreated into the cave.

So nearly 200 natives squeezed into dozens of holes.

In less than half an hour, the cheerful voices of the two puppies rang out.

The big head in the back and the prosperous wealth in front met again, and the prince Zhu Xianhong finally saw his family, he couldn't help himself with excitement, and thanked Xu Shishi for his kindness.

Xu Shi felt a bit like a dream.

A few years ago, a clan like Zhu Xianhong was still a big figure out of his reach, but now he cries and worships him.

He suddenly had an idea in his mind, if he didn't go back, he would be a king here.

But the next moment, he quickly shook his head.

I still have to go home, my mother-in-law and two sons haven't seen each other for a long time.

After dark, Xu Shi chose to sleep in a small house with a wooden and stone structure, although it was still relatively simple, but at least it looked like a Han Chinese, not an indigenous.

He was going to call a few brothers together to discuss, these natives had used the bow of the Ming army before, and they should have seen Zhu Di's men and horses.

A few of them praised these hundreds of people, and Zhu Di had tens of thousands of people in his hands, and he would definitely be able to dominate here.

Tomorrow, I have to find a way to communicate with the natives and ask them where Zhu Di is.

But after waiting for a while, Lu Dashan still hadn't come.

"Where's the mountain?" Xu Shishi said strangely.

Li Wangcai was stunned: "Special mother, it won't be to play with the little lady, he just told me that these native mothers-in-law are very interesting." ”

“。。” A few people.

"I can't stand the smell on my body." Someone shouted, "I guess I never take a bath." ”

"It's not a Mongolian, there's water everywhere here, how can you not take a bath."

A few people began to discuss.

Lu Dashan really went to play with the little lady, and when he came back, he had a particularly unfinished expression.

But he was teased by a few people.

Early the next morning, Xu Shishi summoned the natives, and then the two sides scratched their fingers again, playing the piano to the cow, and they still didn't know what the other party wanted to say after rowing for a long time.

Xu Shishi also specially took the bow he took back that day in his hand, and kept pointing at the bow, but the other side still didn't know what he wanted to say.

"Damn." Xu Shishi was a little annoyed, walked to the side, and wanted to kick a small stone away.

"Ahh

Everyone around was in a panic.

Everyone in the Ming army also looked over.

Xu Shi was angry and picked up the black stone, and it felt thicker and heavier when he started, not like a stone.

He took it in his hand in surprise and gently wiped off a layer of black ash from it, and the next moment, a golden metallic luster appeared in front of him.

"What the hell?" Xu Shishi said strangely, then turned around and shouted, "Call Zhu Xianxuan over." ”

When Zhu Xianhong arrived, he took it to his hand and looked at it, and exclaimed: "Gold? ”

This is the so-called dog's head gold in later generations, a large piece of gold.

"Hiss" The Ming soldiers gasped in unison, looking incredulous.

"Ahhh

"And, you mean?" Xu Shi said excitedly: "Where is it, where is it, take us to see." ”

The native turned and left, and the people hurried to follow.

The natives went straight to one of the caves.

The cave was slowly dug by them, and it can be seen that they have lived here for many years.

I couldn't see anything when I walked in front, and after about a dozen steps inside, a faint gold appeared on the wall.

"Gold mines, gold mines, this is gold mines." Zhu Xianhong exclaimed excitedly.

"Mother's." Xu Shi scolded, can't he go home now?

——

"Plop." A thin figure fell to the ground with a bang.

"Wow" Zhu Zhanji hugged his face and cried.

There was laughter all around, and Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help his son.

Not far in front of "Squeaky Squeak", a strange animal opened its teeth and danced its claws, demonstrating to Zhu Zhanji.

This is an animal that has never been seen in the Ming Dynasty, obviously with four legs, but only the first two stand.

Just now, it directly knocked out Zhu Zhanji.

This is the kangaroo endemic to Tai O.

Whoosh, the kangaroo waved his fists in the air a few times, glared at Zhu Zhanji fiercely, and then turned around violently, puffed, and soon ran away.

Zhu Zhanji was slapped with a panda eye on his face and was crying in his mother's arms.

"Mother, I, I just want to feed it, why are you hitting me, it's not cute at all." Zhu Zhanji cried to his mother.

"Kangaroos may think you're playing with him, so don't get too close to him in the future." Zhang's voice whispered softly about his son.

"Mother, can you eat this kangaroo?" Zhu Zhanji asked again.

"This-" Zhang was stunned when asked: "Your second uncle didn't say it." ”

"The child wants to eat the kangaroo." Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said.

There was laughter all around.

Zhang's face turned straight, and he said in a deep voice: "If you have to eat kangaroos because a kangaroo has beaten you, then what is the difference between you and some villains who will take revenge?" ”

"Didn't my father say that we don't have enough food?" Zhu Zhanji said: "Why can't you eat it? ”

Zhang didn't say anything more, but his expression became uncomfortable.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were laughing just now suddenly couldn't laugh one by one.

Everyone's faces were heavy, because it was true that food was getting shorter and shorter.

At this time, two or three miles behind them, a large number of Ming and Turen were building the city wall.

This is Zhu Di's newly built Yancheng.

After Zhu Di's people went ashore, they went to the southeast for more than a month, and came to the location of Victoria in later generations.

The northeast of Victoria is a mountainous area with towering peaks, between 1000 meters and 2000 meters above sea level, the southeast part is covered with vast forests, as well as numerous caves and lakes, and the west is a vast hill and grassland, known as the "Garden State", known as the "microcosm of Australia", it is the traditional economic state of Australia in later generations, and it is also the most densely populated, the most industrialized, and the most developed state of agriculture and animal husbandry production in Australia.

Zhu Di's place is also carefully selected, there are mountains in the northeast, forests and lakes in the southeast, and the west is where they are, all hills and grasslands.

There are mountains, rivers and grasslands here, Zhu Di chose to build a city here and named it Yancheng to establish his status and name.

After the Ming people arrived, they first conquered the surrounding natives, labored the natives, and then supervised them to take rocks on the spot and use them to build the city.

Because of the difficulties in collecting mountain rocks, from September last year to July, almost a year has passed, and the outermost wall foundation of Yancheng has not been completely completed.

Of course, the scale of Yancheng is far inferior to Beiping, and the circumference of Zhu Di's design is only ten miles, about half of Beiping.

Looking at the current progress, it will take about two years for the city foundation alone, and it may not be able to be built.

"Bring the Sulph stuff." At this time, Zhu Di was standing on a mountain, followed by some civil and military henchmen.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi is far behind, and his attitude is completely different from when he was in the Central Plains before, the key is that Zhu Gaochi has lost a lot of weight, and his current figure is faintly closer to Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Di.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for him.

At this time, Jin Zhong took a stack of parchment and handed it over.

Zhu Di took the parchment and flipped it left and right, and it was full of things written by Zhu Gaoxu himself.

He couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, after the imperial army sent them here, he immediately turned around and left, Zhu Di also left them to fend for themselves, and later Jin Zhong said that before Zheng He left, he gave him a small book, which was written by Emperor Zhu Gaoxu to Zhu Di.

"Gao Xu said that the gold mine, silver ore and iron ore in Shengqian here, we have been here for almost a year, and we have not found any mines, and the tools have broken so much, how to repair them in the future, in the long run, the cultivation of the fields will not be able to continue."

Zhu Di is most concerned about cultivating the fields now.

The place he chose was the most developed place for agriculture and animal husbandry in later generations, which was suitable for livestock and tuntian, but unfortunately their tuntian technology was really not good, and this year's output was not good.

"The King." Xu Li said in a deep voice at this time: "We should use fewer people to build the city, and a large amount of manpower should be used in tuntian, hunting, and fishing." ”

The priority now is to stay alive.

Zhu Gaoxu asked him to build the first city near the sea, so that the imperial court could supply and contact, but Zhu Di didn't listen at all, because he was afraid that after his city was built, the imperial court would send people to attack it, so he took people deep into the inner abdomen.

Now they lack aquatic products, they can't dry salt by themselves, and they won't get supplies from the imperial court, which is full of difficulties.

At this time, Zhu Di raised his head and looked into the distance.

I saw that the front was densely packed, and all kinds of figures were busy.

If you want to live, Zhu Di finally felt that he was wrong again.
