"Don't panic, don't panic." Li Guoyong also wanted to ask these natives, and quickly signaled everyone not to be impulsive.

He walked over with everyone, and found that it was indeed planted by people, I don't know what kind of dish it was, there were banana trees not far away, Daming's bananas usually ripen from September to December, but there are perennial in Brazil, and they all encountered a lot of wild bananas along the way.

Li Guoyong also hurriedly stuffed it in his mouth, and then walked forward with Liu Baihu, walked through this planting field, the terrain in front of him was getting higher and higher, and he saw a hillside, but when he got to the bottom of the hillside, he looked down, hissed, and gasped.

I saw that the hillside looked like a valley, and a small river crossed the valley, and on both sides of the river were buildings that looked like hollows, and a large number of natives were doing all kinds of farm work on both sides of the river.

This should be the gathering place of a local tribe, at least a few hundred people.

The two had just stood for a while when someone saw them below.

"Woo woo woo" The natives below shouted at them, and then more natives looked this way.

Li Guo was used to seeing black people with them, and it was the first time he had seen such strange people on the other side.

A fierce whistle sounded at the foot of the hillside, and many natives began to assemble, and they ran to the house first, and after a while various wooden and stone weapons appeared in their hands.

Li Guoyong looked at the black line on his face, and was thinking about how to communicate with them.

Suddenly.

There was a bush on the other side of the hill, and suddenly the sound of trumpets sounded again in the jungle.

Li Guoyong and Liu Baihu were inexplicable.

Then woo-woo-woo, more natives rushed out of the jungle opposite.

When the screams and shouts of killing were heard below, Li Guo reacted with the two of them, and it was such a coincidence that another tribe came to attack this tribe.

That tribe might have wanted to sneak attack, but Li Guoyong and the two suddenly appeared, and this tribe gathered people.

When the tribe saw it, they thought it had been discovered, and attacked directly.

The tribes that attacked were all strong, and the number was not large, only more than a hundred.

The two tribes immediately fought below, Li Guoyong and Liu Baihu were dumbfounded, and after looking at it, they found that they basically had no metal weapons, let alone bows and arrows.

"What should I do, proprietor?" Everyone gathered around Li Guoyong.

Li Guoyong almost didn't hesitate: "Let's help this tribe defeat the other first." ”

Although they didn't bring iron armor, the benefits of armor were not comparable to the natives, Li Guoyong was originally half a scholar, and after this almost a year of overseas journey, they were as elite as the Ming army, and their bodies were full of muscles.

"Kill." As soon as he gave the order, the Ming people rushed down, and they had fought many times with the natives in the past year, plus they had hunted often and had rich experience, and the bow and crossbow were now used very well.

Fluttering, only a dozen arrows were shot, and the opposite side was screaming everywhere.

The attacking side saw that the situation was not good, and quickly turned around and ran.

"Woo woo" The defending side was surprised and delighted, and shouted one after another.

After a while, the attackers were repulsed, and the Ming people gathered together and did not attack again, and the tribe on the other side knew that these outsiders were helping them.

The tribes of the defenders gathered one after another, and after a while, a leader who looked like a small jar cautiously stepped forward and handed it to them.

Li Guoyong motioned to Liu Baihu to take it, Liu Baihu didn't know what to do, and the other party made a drinking gesture.

Liu Baihu turned around and handed it to Li Guoyong, joking, he didn't know what was inside, how dare he drink it.

Li Guoyong looked at it and didn't see what it was, but after thinking about it, he took a bite and drank it.

The entrance is actually a little sweet, and I don't know what it is.

"Woo woo" shouted frantically on the other side, and all the natives looked excited.

The man hammered his chest with his fist, and Li Guoyong hurriedly hammered it too.

The leader was overjoyed, stepped forward, and hugged Li Guoyong heavily.

The two sides still have a language barrier, and Li Guoyong sounds almost no different from the Bantu people on the African side.

Indeed, many of the indigenous Brazilians are Bantu and can be communicated.

But Li Guoyong doesn't understand Bantu either.

The locals welcomed them warmly and served them with delicious food, which of course was a bit unpalatable to them.

Li Guoyong compared with them, but of course he still couldn't communicate.

It's all right, he led the leader to a tree, then took a long knife, fluttered, and slashed at the tree.

The head man looked at him inexplicably.

Li Guoyong stretched out his hand, and someone behind him handed the water bag, and he poured the water bag into the wound of the tree, and the water slowly flowed down.

The head man still looked puzzled.

Li Guoyong and the others looked at him nervously, Li Guoyong pointed at the water from time to time, and after thinking about it, he slashed again, and then poured water on the wound, pointing to the water flowing down.

"Ahh Finally, Li Guoyong heard the voice of the head man, and the expression was a bit like that of the Ming people.

The head man suddenly realized, turned around and whined.

After a while, the servant came, and the head exchanged some words with him, and the man turned to go out again, and when he came back, he had a small ball in his hand.

The head man took the ball, the horn, threw it to the ground, and bounced it again.

Li Guoyong almost burst into tears, plopped, fell directly to the ground, snatched the ball from the ground, he pinched it a few times, very elastic: "Wow" finally couldn't hold back, tears burst out of the frame.

I knew that it was so difficult to be an official, so it was better to study hard back then, which would make Li Guoyong regret very much that he didn't study hard at the beginning.

The scene of "Wow Roar" sounded earth-shattering cheers, Liu Baihu also burst into tears in an instant, and the Ming people hugged each other one after another, excited.

Their cheers startled the natives, and then they cheered after them.

From February of the twelfth year of Hongxi to February of the thirteenth year of Hongxi, exactly one year has passed.

They went through hard work, and Tang Seng learned from the scriptures, and finally found the legendary rubber in South America, tens of thousands of miles away, and the difficulties may only be known to them.

This is the season when rubber seedlings grow and a large number of seeds can be obtained.

Historically, after the local people in Brazil knew that rubber could make money, it was strictly forbidden until 1876, when the Englishman Wykohan collected more than 70,000 seeds from the Indian tribes in Brazil, transported these seeds to his own ship under the guise of orchid bulbs, and smuggled them back to England. After returning to China, Wykehan successfully cultivated 2,700 plants out of 70,000 seeds, which were later widely planted in Malaysia, Ceylon and other places. It took 40 years to end the monopoly and prosperity of rubber in the Brazilian Amazon.

Two days later, the local natives showed them the real rubber trees, and the Ming people burst into tears again, and the scene was full of weeds, like endless weeds.

Li Guoyong made another gesture, and the natives climbed the tree for him and took seeds.
