Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 509 Indian Youth

The North American continent in the middle of the 17th century was almost completely wild. The bodyguard group led by Bu An might not even meet anyone for a few weeks. The bodyguards were completely against nature.They carry their own tents, crossbows, rifles, and all necessary survival tools. Their food comes from hunting and picking, just like the ancestors of Homo sapiens tens of thousands of years ago, but now the dart group has more suitable tool only.

"That tree, the jaguar." Poeso bowed and whispered to Bai Mingxiu beside him.

Bai Mingxiu quietly stringed the crossbow in his hand, staring at the jaguar enjoying the meal on the big tree.

Poisuo stared at Bai Mingxiu and did not take action.He is the best hunter in the Cheyenne tribe, but he is slandered by Wu Zhu and rejected by the whole tribe.When he came to the escort group, although these escorts were not very affectionate towards him, the operating mechanism of the escort group was more like a fair and reasonable tribe.Anyone who works can be allocated their own food, and the rewards will be higher if the credit is greater.Everyone obeys the arrangement of the leader.Once, Bai Mingxiu ordered Poeso to be the leader of the hunting team and asked others to obey his orders, and the escorts also obeyed.

Poeso feels that he likes this kind of atmosphere a little bit, there is no extra nonsense, and everyone gets ahead by their abilities.

Poeso also admires Bu'an, the leader.Poeso felt that he was both a powerful chieftain and a qualified wizard.The chief can lead the people of the tribe, and the wizard can appease everyone's hearts.Bu'an, the leader, can do these things.

Moreover, the person with the best shooting skills in the dart group is Bu'an, which makes Pu Aesuo very admired.

Bai Mingxiu stared at them for a while. They were covered with a special smell, which made it difficult for the prey to distinguish.With a muffled sound of an arrow, Bai Mingxiu shot an alloy steel arrow from the crossbow in his hand, directly pierced through the side of the jaguar's head, pierced through its brain, and flew out from the other side.The carcass of the jaguar fell directly from the treetops, and Poeso rushed up immediately.

The thin monkey praised: "The boss is really a good shot, this time he has preserved the leopard's skin."

Escorts have already gone up to peel off the skin of the jaguar. They are very sharp and basically do not damage the fur. After opening the jaguar, they quickly removed the flesh .

Meat from such big cats is certainly not tasty, but Darts are not a fussy bunch, they handle their food and don't waste anything.Even the internal organs of animals, which cannot be eaten, will be smashed to make things like fishing bait or prey bait.

"I have collected dozens of high-quality furs. I think they will go to New Amsterdam and sell them to our fleet." Jin Zhu smiled, full of expectation.

Escorts don't have much money, but they have a lot of ways to make money.

These days, Bai Mingxiu occasionally logs into Bu'an's body to experience the feeling of challenging the wilderness. He knows the difficulties of the colonists during this period, but he is also full of confidence.

Poiso walked up to Bai Mingxiu and said using the few Chinese words he knew: "My name, Chinese."

Bai Mingxiu looked at this skinny Indian young man, and knew that his life in the bodyguard group had given him a certain sense of identity with this small group.This Indian youth will call himself the chief in the Algonquian language, and he is quickly learning all kinds of knowledge in the dart regiment.

"Do you want me to give you a Chinese name?" Bai Mingxiu smiled.

After confirming that this was Poeso's meaning, he thought for a while and said, "You are from the Cheyenne tribe, so let your surname be Xia. What about your name? Your kid runs as fast as the wind. How about calling him Xia Feng?" ?”

It took the Indian young man some time to understand what the long sentence of "chief" meant. He bowed his head to Bai Mingxiu in Cheyenne etiquette to show respect and accepted the name.

After finishing speaking, Xia Feng went to hang out with Lao De, the chef in the bodyguard group.Lao De is a escort in his 40s. He is very talkative and likes to talk a lot, so by hanging out with him, Xia Feng can learn a lot of Chinese.And the most amazing thing about Xia Feng is the food cooking skills of the members of the bodyguard group, which is much more delicious than the food in their tribe, so whenever it is time to cook, Xia Feng will clumsily help Lao De, trying to "" Stealing "how to make delicious food.

Seeing Xia Feng's appearance, Bai Mingxiu couldn't help but smile.This may be the first Indian to integrate into the life of the Ming people, but Xia Feng is not popular in his tribe, so he came to the escort team, but he chose a new tribe.

Bai Mingxiu also believed that in the future, some Indians like Xia Feng would leave their tribe due to various factors and join the living community of the Ming people.Daming does not reject giving these people a better life, nor does it reject them choosing to continue their own way of life.

For example, the Salish ethnic group around the Long Live City, because of the appearance of the Long Live City, many Salish people evacuated to more remote places, but there was no particularly large-scale conflict, which may not be the same as the Salish people. Not particularly brave.There are also some Salish people who choose to live in harmony with Long Live City, and the two sides have made some transactions.It is not unimaginable that a small number of Salish people have also joined the life of Long Live City.

"It will take two months, and we should be able to reach the east coast of the North American continent." Bai Mingxiu looked down at the map in his hand. He had seen this map countless times before crossing, but he really used his own When you measure the earth with your feet, you really feel the difficulty.

Today, there are only a small number of British colonies on the east coast, namely Virginia and Jamestown. The population is not large, and the armed darts are even capable of completely destroying a British Puritan colonial town single-handedly.It's just that Bai Mingxiu is not interested in doing these things right now.

The most important mission of his bodyguard group is now to clearly demarcate their borders with the British.In the northeast of New Netherland, the British have already established colonies in Hartford, New Haven and other places. In the south, there is a colony of Maryland. Although the scale is not large, Bai Mingxiu is not interested. Now he is in trouble with the British. Endless colonial disputes.He wants to divide the territory well, and send some people there safely to colonize it.

So after Liang Haisheng arrived in London, he negotiated with the British on the complete demarcation of the colonies on the east coast of North America.

To the west of the Housatonic River, to the north of the Potomac River, including the Delaware Peninsula, the Ming Dynasty gained complete sovereignty. It was named Hongwu Xuanweisi after the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
