For Feng Mingzhou, in addition to the map of Kunyu Wanguo given by Zhu Su, their information is only the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Book of Liang" and other materials obtained from ancient books.

Although there are many Western countries in the map of Kunyu Wanguo, there is a blank for the indigenous forces here. Tie Xuan can only try to find some clues from the books of the Chinese sages of the past. According to "Liangshu Fusang Guo Biography": "The tattoo country is more than 7,000 miles northeast of the Wa Kingdom...... The Great Han Kingdom is 5,000 miles east of the tattoo country...... Fusang country is 20,000 miles east of the Han Dynasty, in the east of China, and its soil is full of Fusang wood, so it is named", combined with the experience of the fleet crossing the ocean, it is almost certain that the legendary Fusang country is in this Fengmingzhou continent.

And the so-called "Fusang Country" is also their biggest imaginary enemy based on the Fengmingzhou continent.

Mao Xiang's Ti Cavalry and Zhang He's Tan Ma explored the direction of the "Fusang Country" from both land and sea respectively, but the Fengmingzhou continent was too vast and densely forested, and there were few results in going out to explore. However, when Mao Xiang's subordinates recently monitored the natives who entered the city, they had some unexpected gains.

In order to exchange silk, embroidery, and porcelain with the Ming people in the settlement, those natives almost emptied everything on their bodies. In line with the principle of being a rarity, the Ming immigrants did not refuse to come to this mess. After all, these natives have very low requirements, wearing shoes with holes, broken bowls with missing horns, they are willing to exchange beautiful feathers, delicate shell carvings, and even gold.

In such a pile of gold, furs, feathers, shells and other objects, Mao Xiang was very keen to find this piece of bark painted with figures.

"Look at it." Mao Xiang unfolded the mottled bark, Tie Xuan and Zhang He both looked closely, only to see some crooked lines drawn on the bark with some kind of dye, and they couldn't see anything at a rough look, only felt mysterious and quaint. But after a closer look, they found a clue, Zhang He patted his knee: "This, isn't this a map!" ”

I saw that the lines on the bark of the tree, although simple, were almost exactly the same as the terrain near Jinshan Fort that they had just drawn.

"It's not just that." Mao Xiang said, continuing to point to a place on the bark that seemed to be words and graphics. "This marks the place where the graphics are located, where the indigenous tribes are stationed. Therefore, I deduced that these figures symbolize the meaning of 'tribe'. ”

"And this one." Mao Xiang's hand pointed to the east side of Jinshan Fort. "There are many such graphic ......"

Tie Xuan stared at it, and as Mao Xiang said, there were many "graphics" marked across the bay from Jinshan Fort in the east, dotted with dozens of them. "Lord Mao thinks that these tribes are very likely to be the Fusang Kingdom, and they may also be hostile to the previous natives?"

Mao Xiang nodded. "If there are so many tribes on the other side of the bay, please tell me how to deal with them after the encounter with the horses."

Tie Xuan was about to speak, but when he saw Vice General Wang walk into the hall, and when he saw that the three directors were there, he gave a military salute. "Three adults, I'm here to spread the word about the natives."

"Those natives seem to be leaving, and they want to say goodbye to Lord Tie."

"How do you know they want to quit me? Can you understand the indigenous language? Tie Hyun said.

Vice General Wang scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Hehe, I really don't understand it, but looking at their comparisons, I can know some meaning." ”

"My lord, these natives are not bad-hearted, do you want to keep them for a few more days?"

These days, these natives stay here, and he still has a relationship with these natives.

Tie Xuan thought for a moment, and Shu'er raised his head and smiled: "It's better to go and talk to the priest." ”

"How about letting him move his family to live in an outer city? There were only a few hundred of them on the left and right. As long as they can keep to themselves and serve our Huaxia as the right one. I, the Ming soldiers, also want to protect them from foreign insults. ”

"Really?" Vice General Wang was happy. "I just said that Lord Tie is kind-hearted, and he will definitely not watch this bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people fend for themselves." So saying, he went to the native priest with joy.

"This rammer is in the same place as these natives." Zhang He scolded with a smile.

"General Wang has a pure heart, maybe because of this, he can communicate with those natives."

"Do you really want those natives to move into our Golden Mountain Fort?" Mao Xiang looked a little unwilling. "The natives are ignorant, and if they live together, there will be a lot of trouble. What's more, they may also have a grudge against Fuso. It is unwise for a small tribe to attract the hatred of a large tribe. ”

Tie Xuan didn't care, but said firmly: "Although this is the case, if I want to gain a foothold in this place, I must rely on the power of the local natives." ”

"This indigenous group is in trouble, and if the Fusang country is guessed correctly, it is quite powerful. If you want to open up the situation, you should start with the weak. If they rush to find Fusang, they may not be willing to be friendly with us. ”

"As for arousing hatred...... If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, we will continue to run here, and if they dare to come, they will be repulsed. ”

"If they are really stubborn, when my Ming follow-up army arrives, they can come out and destroy them. At this time, we can first educate this indigenous tribe, and when he destroys other indigenous tribes one day, we can also let this indigenous tribe assist us in educating the people of Fusang. ”

When Mao Xiang heard this, he didn't say anything. After all, Tie Hyun is the one who is in charge of this action, and since he has made a decision, he only obeys his orders.

So Tie Hyun began to devote himself to trying to educate these natives. I thought that these natives had seen the products of China, and they highly respected them, the Chinese people, and they knelt down and knocked at every turn, and it should be very easy to persuade them to learn the Chinese language and dress from China. Unexpectedly, although these natives agreed to move their tribesmen to other cities, they were reluctant to accept Chinese culture.

A priest who holds the supreme power of the tribe. It is for this reason that no priest would easily allow his tribe to accept other cultures. Although they still have a reverence for Tie Hyun and the others, it is a matter of their own authority, and even if they move the tribe over, they still stick to their sacrificial culture.

Vice General Wang contacted the priest several times, but it was still unsuccessful, and reported the matter to Tie Xuan, who thought for a while, but ordered: "In this case, tomorrow the ancestral hall of the Yellow Emperor will be completed, and the first big sacrifice of my Jinshan Fort will be held." Invite the priest with him. ”

"Invite him?" Vice General Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he was puzzled: "Our own people worship our ancestors, what do we want him to do as an indigenous person?" ”

"Such a solemn scene, in case something happens."

"It's okay, just do it." Tie Hyun is not worried. He remembered that in the Guozijian, he had heard his master Zhu Su talk about the situation in the extreme west.

I remember that the master said that religion is rampant in the far west. When it comes to religious deities, things can often get extremely complicated. It is absolutely impossible to conquer such a region by force and profit alone.

It is also necessary to find a way to subdue the local sect so that it will no longer cause chaos for the king.

As for how to subdue religion, the master also gave precise ideas and methods.
