Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 615: Contact with the Aboriginals
"Did you really see people?" Zhang He's eyes narrowed. As early as they found those shells in the belly of the shark, they knew that there must be barbarians living nearby.I just don't know how many these natives are, whether they are easy to fight with, and how powerful they are.

"When Deputy General Wang took me into the mountains to hunt, I found arrows hanging on the prey in the forest." Tan Ma said, taking out an arrow from his arms and offering it to him. Zhang He, Tie Xuan and others all came over. I saw that the arrow was very rough, only made of branches, feathers and stone arrowheads.However, whether it is the grinding marks on the arrowhead or the chipping marks on the arrow shaft, it is clear that this arrow was not born with a long length, but came from the hands of a craftsman with crude skills.

"Vice General Wang asked the villain to come back immediately to report the news, and he also led other brothers to search in the forest."

As soon as Tan Ma finished speaking, Lieutenant General Wang's shout came from behind.

"Master Hou! Master Tie! I saw the native barbarians!" He quickly walked into the room and glanced at a bowl of water on the table. He picked it up and drank it. "Good guy, this is the first time I've seen that look. They are all wearing feathers and leaves, and they are as dark as briquettes..."

"You bastard, please speak more clearly!" Zhang He did not scold him for drinking his own water, but focused on asking. "Which direction is it? How many natives have you seen? Have you alerted them?"

"In the woods about twenty miles southeast of the camp, there are about five or sixty people fighting with seven or eight others! Don't worry, Lord Marquis. I saw them while climbing on the tree with a lookout. I will not be caught. They found out." Vice General Wang said.At the end, he sighed: "Those people have no clothes to wear, but they are really fierce in fighting. While killing people, they are also screaming. Compared with them, those thieves in the north of Ming Dynasty look like scholars. .”

"It's just very chaotic, like a pot of porridge. I can deal with the rabble with only three or five people!" Vice General Wang puffed out his chest.

Zhang He nodded, turned to Tie Xuan and Mao Xiang and said, "If there are indigenous people coming, let's discuss how to deal with it?"

"Before setting off, His Majesty and His Majesty the Fifth Prince told us to listen to Mr. Tie's opinion more," Mao Xiang said. "I just obey."

"That generation has lived here for a long time and is familiar with the geographical advantages, and we don't know how many people there are. We are born here, and there is a shortage of manpower. Everyone is a top priority, so we should take precautions." Tie Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "If a hundred people come here, close the door and turn them away. If ten people come here, open the door to welcome them. How about that?"

"This is very safe, okay." Zhang He nodded.Although he felt that his soldiers must not be afraid of these barbarian natives, he was not willing to waste his troops and start a rash war with these natives.

To build a colony out of thin air, you must try to civilize the local area and recruit all the forces that can be attracted. It cannot just be coercion and exploitation. He has also heard the Fifth Highness talk about this.

He, Zhang He, will not stop at being a marquis.

Vice General Wang's sentinels were always keeping an eye on this group of natives. At night, Tie Xuan and others received a new report from Vice General Wang: "Master Marquis, there are two lone natives coming towards our camp. ."

"Shall we capture them back to the camp?"

"Are you alone?" Zhang He was a little curious. "What happened to them?"

"They are the two groups of natives who fought earlier." Vice General Wang said. "One of the groups couldn't resist the large number of people on the other side, and only two of them were killed and injured. They were smart enough to find an opening and hide."

"However, they can hide from the indigenous people, but they cannot hide it from the eyes of our Ming soldiers. Now they have been stared at by our people. What should we do? The Marquis and the two adults have made a decision, and I can take care of it. Tie Xuan, Mao Xiang, and Zhang He looked at each other, and Tie Xuan spoke again: "Since there are only two of them, let's bring them back."

"First remove their weapons and equipment, and then send them to the camp for treatment. Doing these good deeds may be an opportunity for us to civilize the natives."

Mao Xiang and Zhang He both nodded.They are just two natives, so there is no need to be afraid.

The two indigenous people were soon knocked unconscious, tied to a stick and carried to the camp. It was the time of day labor at dusk, and the indigenous people who entered the camp immediately attracted many people to watch.

"Hey, are these the natives of Fengming Prefecture? Why do they use tree leaves as clothes? Don't they know it's cold?" A farmer asked in surprise.

"I originally thought that the aboriginal people should have black hair like monkeys... Now it seems that there is nothing strange. They are just darker and uglier, not as handsome as us Han people!" A big man with a sinewy face said narcissistically. Touched his face.

"It's better than the Kunlun slaves, but why are their faces painted so gaudy? Could it be that these natives also like to sing opera?" A former well-informed prison officer's son asked curiously.

It is bitterly cold in Fengmingzhou. On weekdays, everyone is only busy with work and has little entertainment.Suddenly there was something strange to see, and it was inevitable to point at the two natives.Listening to the noise, the two natives suddenly woke up. When they opened their eyes, they saw a large group of "well-dressed" people surrounding them. They couldn't help but start struggling in panic.

"Hey, hey, don't move. Why are you moving around? The wound is already split."

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, our country is a country of etiquette, and we will not harm others out of thin air..."

"Hey, Mr. Wang, what are these natives talking about?"

Lieutenant General Wang rolled his eyes and became angry: "I'm not an aborigine. Why don't you ask me what they said?" After saying that, he asked his soldiers to put the two aborigines on the ground and waved to call one over. Colleague: "These natives are struggling hard and it's very difficult to lift them. It's better to find a doctor to come and treat them."

The fleet expedition also brought several doctors with it. One of them was a disciple of Dai Sigong, the master of Taiyuan Hospital. The other doctors were also good doctors who had received Dai Sigong's teachings.The biggest fear when traveling across the ocean is catching an epidemic, so the fleet of medical resources is top-notch.After a while, a doctor crossed the crowd and walked in. When he saw the two natives being tied up, he immediately frowned and said: "How come they are tied like this? The blood is bruised from the restraints. It is important to untie them quickly."

"Doctor Li, you can't let go." Vice General Wang did not dare to make any mistakes in front of the doctor. The life of this poor and remote country might be in their hands at some point.His tone was quite flattering: "These natives are very tight. What if they are loosened and hurt you, old man?"

Doctor Li glanced at Deputy General Wang, with a look of pride in his eyes that said, "Just two natives want to hurt me." He took out a silver needle and stabbed the two natives twice. Down, the native's limbs were seen hanging down limply, unable to struggle any longer, and there was fear in his eyes.

"Look, won't it hurt?" Doctor Li said calmly.
