Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 208 The New World in Full Swing 【Full Decision】

"God, please save us, let us go in!"

Facing the demands of these people, Hu Guanzhu decisively ordered the door to be opened to admit the more than 100 indigenous people. After they came in, Hu Guanzhu knew the situation.

"The three tribes that have enmity with us have united to attack us, and the tribe has been destroyed." Elder Heilang quickly told Hu to lock up the situation.

It turned out that the enemy acted first and wiped out the White Buffalo tribe.

"Guardian, those savages are already driving in here!" A sentinel on guard came in to report.

"how many people?"

"At least more than 2000 people!"

"More than 2000 people?"

Hu Guanzhu couldn't help frowning.

What a coincidence!
A few days ago, the Ming army discovered some very likely gold mines in a river mouth to the south.

Most of the soldiers of the Ming army left here and went there to explore.

Now there are less than three hundred Ming soldiers in the fortress.

"Command, prepare for battle!"

Hu Guanzhu immediately issued an order.

With the sound of horns sounding on the tower of the fortress, all the soldiers of the Ming army were neatly dressed and ready to attack.

About half an hour passed.

Large numbers of indigenous savage armies are finally approaching.

When these Native American savages dressed in animal skins and sackcloth and holding big sticks and bone spears approached, they were all shocked by the 'huge' fortress in front of them.

They had never seen such a huge building.

Not only the wide trench, but also the high wall built with rammed earth logs, they have never seen before.

As for the tall sentry tower and the taller lighthouse, they have never even thought about it.

These savage warriors were all stunned by the buildings in front of them.

However, their people have already ascertained the situation.

Those who fled from the White Buffalo tribe fled here.

Since no trace of them was found outside, they must be hiding here.

"Woooooo!"

With the sound of horns, dozens of Ming army archers have already occupied their respective positions.

Gunpowder is a precious commodity, and Hu Guanzhu will not use gunpowder lightly when it is not necessary!
As long as these savages dare to approach, it will inevitably be a rain of arrows.

"God, these people are the most greedy poisonous snakes, but don't let them in!"

Elder Heilang spoke to Hu Guanzhu in his unskilled Daming dialect.

"You tell them, if they don't want to die, they should leave here as soon as possible."

Hu Guan grabbed Elder Heilang and asked him to act as the interpreter, shouting to the leader of the savages outside.

After some dialogue, these savages outside not only did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

But it has already begun to weave ladders with logs and ropes.

"Hehe, these guys are courting death!"

Seeing this, Hu Guanzhu showed a meaningful smile.

Although the height of the current fortress is not high, but for those without armor and weapons, this place will be their death place.

"Oh!"

"Wow!"

Following bursts of screaming, these barbarian warriors were already ready to charge.

Hu Guanzhu also personally led 100 people to line up, ready to kill at any time.

Hu Guan stood outside the city wall, staring at the enemy ahead with wide open eyes.

"Array, raise shield, hold gun!"

Hu Guanzhu roared and ordered, and issued the final request for formation.

Hu Guanzhu held a long spear in his hand, and was already ready to fight.

"Whoah!"

With a roar, nearly a thousand savage warriors rushed forward.

Hu Guanzhu saw a yellow savage running towards him in front of him, and when he was only a few steps away, he suddenly threw a big wooden stick studded with obsidian straight at Hu Guanzhu.

The whistling 'wooden stick' drew a circle and hit Hu's closed door.

"Good grandson!"

Hu Guan sneered, and with a light flick of the shield in his hand, he swung the jeweled wooden club away.

However, a soldier next to him was a little unlucky.

"what!"

With a scream, a three-foot-long bone javelin directly hit the soldier's shoulder and penetrated deeply into the seam of the armor.

The huge inertia caused the soldier to fall to the ground instantly.

It's just that the power of the bone javelin is very limited, the soldier patted his butt and stood up again.

"kill!"

Hu Guanzhu, who was already accustomed to fighting in battle, didn't care about the situation next to him.

He held the spear tightly and stabbed forward!
"kill!"

With his roar, the savage warrior was stabbed in the face immediately.

With a bang, he fell to the ground and died.

"Kill!"

At this time, the entire formation was already fighting into a mess.

Relying on their large number of people, the barbarians have already formed an all-up offensive in the front.

Hu Guan led the elite to fight calmly, preventing the savage warriors from advancing any further.

Steel armor versus rags.

Long knives and long spears against wooden sticks and bone guns.

The offensive of the savage warriors soon collapsed under the counterattack of the soldiers of the Ming army.

Coupled with the fact that the crossbowmen kept shooting on the rear camp wall, these savage warriors suffered heavy casualties.

"kill!"

Hu Guanzhu roared, and led the soldiers beside him to countercharge forward.

He has already seen it.

These savages in front of them are no threat at all.

Weapons of wood and bone, smashed on the armor, are useless at all except for bang bang.

Up to now, Hu Guanzhu has not seen a Ming soldier fall down.

Instead, these savage warriors... have already fallen to the ground.

After this easy victory, Hu Guanzhu thought about it for three days and three nights!

He also didn't want to understand, who gave the courage to let these Yin people with sticks and stones attack him?
"Yin people" or "Yin people" is Zhu Han's official name for the aboriginal Indians in North America.

In this day and age, it was Ming who discovered the American continent, so naturally there will be no more Indians.

There are nearly ten million indigenous people in the New World. If Ming wants to conquer this land, he must make good use of so many human resources.

Otherwise, only by immigrating from the Central Plains to the New World, can the land be managed well in the Year of the Monkey.

Assimilation is the best characteristic of Ming Dynasty's conquest of these natives.

After discovering the New World, Zhu Han immediately asked the Ming court to officially endorse that the aborigines in the New World were rooted in the Central Plains.

Legend has it that when King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties, a large number of Yin and Shang adherents crossed the sea eastward after the demise of the Shang Dynasty, and finally disappeared.

Now it is time to place this legend on the heads of the Indians in North America.

In fact, people in North America migrated to the New World much earlier than 2 years ago.

If they were really descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties, they wouldn't be so broken down like they are now.

The aborigines in the New World are still in a backward primitive society, and only the ancestors of the more developed Mayan and Inca civilizations in the south still have some shadows of early slavery.

But all the aborigines on the entire continent don't know how to smelt bronze, let alone iron, and the weapons they use are all made of wood, bone or obsidian.

In the early days of Yin Shang, they could cast large bronze ritual vessels and weapons.

However, to assimilate so many natives of the New World into the manpower that Daming can use, who cares what the truth is?

Anyway, as long as they know that they are from China and belong to the same lineage as Daming, they will be fine.

Hu Guanzhu firmly believed in the statement made by His Royal Highness that the residents of the New World were descendants of Yin merchants.

After this disparate battle not long ago, Da Ming completely defeated these Yin people.

They showed complete obedience to the heavenly soldiers of the Ming army.

Hu Guanzhu, in order to more effectively control these turtle grandchildren of the Yin tribe, immediately followed the conquest strategy provided by Zhu Han, and first changed the image of these surrendered tribes.

First of all, according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, all the men of the tribes who surrendered must learn the custom of the Han people to tie their hair.

Women also pay attention to their personal image, and no longer show armpits and big white legs at every turn.

Secondly, all the Yin tribes who surrendered were all imprisoned by Hu and took Han surnames. For example, the White Buffalo tribe who first defected to the Ming army adopted the surname Bai. White Mountain.

According to their own characteristics, other tribes adopted flowers (there are many flowers near the tribe), forest (the tribe near the woods), Hu (the tribe by the lake), cattle (the part where there are many bison), gold (the tribe has a lot of flowers). a large number of gold mines), high (tribes living in mountains or highlands), etc.

After obtaining the allegiance of these tribes, Hu Guanzhu immediately had a large number of human resources to use.

The Ming army not only quickly established three strong fortresses here, but also explored the surrounding land, mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles.

The more the Ming army explored inland areas, the more they discovered the benefits of this new continent.

On this continent, there are vast grasslands and forests everywhere, and there are treasures that are hard to see in the Central Plains.

Soldiers of the Ming army can often find patches of towering trees.

It takes more than a dozen people to embrace these big trees, and some of them can reach tens of feet in height.

These trees are not only tall, but also straight in shape. If they are used to build palace beams or sea ships, each big tree can be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver in the Central Plains.

But in this new continent, these towering trees are everywhere.

Because the tools of the Yin people were backward, it was impossible to develop these towering trees with only bones and stone tools in their hands.

Apart from these tall and frightening trees, another sight that pleased the Ming soldiers the most was that the continent was full of fat bison.

These bison of the New World are a special species, different from the common buffalo or cattle in the Central Plains, their tempers are exceptionally irritable, and even a newborn calf is difficult to domesticate.

For the Yin people who only have stone and wooden tools in their hands, it is really risky and difficult to capture these New World bison.

But to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, although these huge herds of bison looked strong and ferocious.

But they are all a group of stupid and simple people, they are extraordinarily courageous, and they are not even afraid of people.

When the soldiers of the Ming army approached with strong bows and muskets, the buffalo herds didn't even know how to run.

In front of sharp knives, guns and firearms, the Ming army captured a large number of bison.

The number of these prey was so large that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty became the home of beef for three meals a day.

Just as Hu Guan was writing a memorandum about the exploration of the New World, the news of the meal came from the guard outside the door.

"What's for lunch today?" Hu Guanzhu walked out of the room and asked the guard next to him.

"My lord, today's lunch is minced beef pancakes with beef soup!" said the guard.

Hu frowned slightly and said, "Damn it, Chef Wang is having sex with beef jerky!"

Calculated according to the solar terms, it is now equivalent to the twelfth lunar month of the new year. Although the temperature in the New World is not cold, there are no fresh vegetables to eat.

The potatoes, corn and wheat seeds brought by the Ming army from the ship are all needed for planting next year, so naturally they are reluctant to eat them.

And the dry food and canned food on board were really hard to swallow.

Therefore, after the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had the help of the Yin people, they ate beef almost every day in the New World.

So much so that Hu imprisoned such a carnivorous person, and now I feel a little tired of thinking about all kinds of beef.

"I'm really tired of eating meat!"

"We can only wait a little longer. We will be here at the beginning of spring next year, and let those Yin people open up wasteland and farm!"

"When the time comes, these high-yielding crops from my Ming Dynasty will turn this place into a fertile land for thousands of miles!"

Before Hu Guan lived in the New World, Zhu Han had already formulated a detailed colonial expansion strategy for him.

The first is to subdue some Yin people for their own use.

Next, the Ming army used the labor force of these Yin people to reclaim the land, cultivate food to achieve self-sufficiency, and turned the Yin people who were originally hunting and gathering into fixed farming tribes, allowing them to gradually accept the civilization of the Central Plains.

The productivity of the farming society is much higher than that of hunting and gathering. In addition, the Ming army can provide advanced tools and materials. It will not take long to assimilate these Yin people.

Then, Hu Guanzhu could recruit local soldiers among these assimilated Yin people, and continue to expand the Ming army's control area outward.

There is not much difference in appearance between the Yin people in the New World and the Han people in the Central Plains.

After they have been educated culturally, there is no need to worry about betrayal at all.

After Hu Guanzhu had lunch, he summoned several of his generals to discuss the education of these Yin people.

"My lord, I went to see those tribes. There is a lot of gold in the land they occupy, and everyone in the tribe has a lot of gold jewelry. I used a few bottles of fruit wine in glass and bought them here." A bag of gold!" A general grinned, and then he took out a cloth bag from his pocket and threw it on the table with a clatter.

I saw a lot of gold jewelry in the cloth bag. Although the gold had many impurities and the craftsmanship of the jewelry was relatively rough, everyone loved the shiny color.

"The two tribes surnamed Jin you went to seem to be well-deserved!"

Hu Guanzhu glanced at the gold on the table lightly, and said with a smile.

Since they came to the New World, although the gold in the hands of the aboriginal Yin people was precious to them, it was just some pretty decorations, at most, they were used to put it on display when offering sacrifices to the gods.

And any item in the hands of the Ming army is far more precious than gold to the Yin people in the New World.
