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

Chapter 619 God Controls God
Regarding Fengmingzhou, in addition to the Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms given by Zhu Su, the only information they had was "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Book of Liang" and other information obtained from ancient books.

Although the Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map contains many Western countries, it is completely blank about the indigenous forces here.Tie Xuan can only try to find some clues from the books of Chinese sages in the past.According to "Book of Liang·Fusang Kingdom Biography": "The Kingdom of Tattoo is more than [-] miles northeast of the Japanese Kingdom... The Kingdom of Han is five thousand miles east of the Kingdom of Tattoo... The Kingdom of Fusang is [-] miles east of the Han Dynasty, and is located in the east of China. This record, combined with the experience of the fleet crossing the ocean, makes it almost certain that the legendary Fusang Kingdom is located in this Fengmingzhou continent.

The so-called "Fusang Kingdom" is also their biggest imaginary enemy in Fengmingzhou Continent.

Mao Xiang's Tiqi and Zhang He's Tanma searched for the location of the "Fusang Kingdom" from land and sea respectively. However, the Fengmingzhou continent was too vast and densely covered with jungles, so there were very few results from the exploration.However, Mao Xiang's men had some unexpected gains when they monitored the natives entering the city recently.

In order to exchange silk, embroidery, and porcelain with the Ming people in the settlement, the indigenous people spent almost everything on their bodies.In line with the principle of being a rare object, the Ming immigrants did not reject this mess of things.After all, the requirements of these indigenous people are really low. They are willing to exchange for shoes with holes and broken bowls with corners missing, beautiful feathers, exquisite shell carvings, and even gold.

Among such a pile of gold, fur, feathers, shells and other objects, Mao Xiang keenly discovered this piece of bark with patterns on it.

"Just take a look at this thing." Mao Xiang unfolded the mottled bark. Tie Xuan and Zhang He both looked closer and saw that some kind of dye was used to draw some crooked lines on the bark. There is nothing wrong with it, I just feel mysterious and simple.But when they took a closer look, they found clues. Zhang He slapped his knee: "This, isn't this a map!"

I saw that the lines on the bark, although a bit crude, were almost exactly the same as the terrain near Jinshan Fort 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 both text and graphics. "The place marked with the figures is where the indigenous tribes are stationed. Therefore, I infer that these figures symbolize the meaning of 'tribe'."

"And this place." Mao Xiang pointed to the east side of Jinshan Fort. "It is marked with many such figures..."

Tie Xuan looked intently and saw that, as Mao Xiang said, across the bay from Jinshan Fort in the east, there were many "figures" marked on them, dozens of them scattered all over the place. "Does Mr. Mao think that these tribes are most likely to be the Fusang Kingdom, and may also be hostile to the previous indigenous people?"

Mao Xiang nodded. "If there are indeed many tribes on the other side of the bay, please tell me how to deal with Tan Ma after encountering them."

Tie Xuan was about to speak when he saw Vice General Wang walking into the hall. Seeing that the three directors' superior officers were all there, he gave a military salute. "Three adults, I am here to inform you about the aboriginal people."

"Those natives seem to be leaving and want to say goodbye to Lord Iron."

"How did you know they wanted to say goodbye to me? Could it be that you can understand the native language?" Tie Xuan asked curiously.

Vice General Wang scratched his head and smiled honestly: "Hehe, I really don't understand it, but by watching their gestures, I can understand some of the meaning."

"Sir, these natives are not bad people. Do you want to keep them for a few more days?"

These days, these natives stayed here, and he actually developed feelings for these natives.

Tie Xuan thought for a moment, and Shu Er raised his head and smiled: "How about this? You go and talk to the priest."

"How about letting his whole family move to the outer city? There are only a few hundred people in their clan. As long as they can stay in peace and regard me as the Zhengshuo of China. I, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, are also willing to protect them from foreign aggression."

"Really?" Vice General Wang was delighted. "I just said that Mr. Tie has a kind heart and will definitely not let this bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled fend for themselves." After saying that, he happily went to find the indigenous priest. "This guy is actually hanging out with these natives." Zhang He scolded with a smile.

"General Wang has a pure heart. Perhaps it is because of this that he is able to communicate with the natives."

"Are we really going to let those natives move into our Jinshan Fort?" Mao Xiang looked a little reluctant. "The natives are ignorant and will be in trouble if they live in the same place. What's more, they may have enmity with the Fusang Kingdom. It is unwise for a small tribe to attract the hatred of a large tribe."

Tie Xuan did not take it seriously, but said firmly: "Even so, if China wants to establish a foothold here, it is necessary to rely on the strength of the local indigenous people."

"This group of natives is in trouble, and if the guess is correct, the Fusang Kingdom is quite powerful. If we want to open up the situation, we should start with the weak. If we rush to the Fusang Kingdom, they may not be willing to be friendly with us. "

"As for causing hatred... I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. We will continue to run this place. If they dare to come, we can just repel them."

"If they are really stubborn, we can come out and destroy them when the Ming Dynasty's follow-up army arrives. At this time, we can educate this indigenous group first, and when we destroy other indigenous tribes in the future, we can also let this group All the indigenous people will help us educate the Fusang people."

When Mao Xiang heard this, he said nothing.After all, Tie Xuan is the person in charge of this matter. Since he has made a decision, he just follows orders.

So Tie Xuan began to devote himself to the work of trying to civilize these indigenous people.I thought that these natives had seen the products of China and highly respected the Chinese people. They would kneel down and kowtow at every turn. It would be very easy to persuade them to learn the Chinese language and adopt Chinese clothes.Unexpectedly, although these natives agreed to move their tribesmen to outer cities, they were not willing to accept Chinese culture.

A priest holds supreme power over the tribe.It is precisely for this reason that no priest will easily allow his tribe to accept other cultures.Although they still have respect for Tie Xuan and others, it concerns their own authority. Even if the tribe is moved here, they still cling to their sacrificial culture.

Vice General Wang contacted the priest several times, but still failed, and reported the matter to Tie Xuan. Tie Xuan thought for a while, but then ordered: "In this case, the Yellow Emperor's Ancestral Hall will be completed tomorrow, and the first grand ceremony of our Jinshan Fort will be held. . And invite the priest to come with you."

"Invite him here?" Vice General Wang was stunned, and then asked in confusion: "We ourselves are worshiping our ancestors, why do we want him, an indigenous person, to come?"

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

"It doesn't matter, just do as you are told." Tie Xuan was not worried.He remembered that in the Imperial Academy, he had heard Master Zhu Su talk about the situation in the far west.

I remember Master said that religion is rampant in the far west.Things often become extremely complicated when religious gods are involved.It would be extremely difficult to conquer such a region by relying solely on force and interests.

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

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