Daming Military Empire

Chapter 672 Win over the natives and build a base
Waiting is always anxious, and Lu Xiangsheng is no exception. He knows how dangerous it is for Zhao Mingfeng to go here. If he is not the coach, he even wants to bring someone there by himself.

He couldn't predict what the result would be, because he hadn't dealt with the Indians either.

Now, he can only hope that the emperor can predict things like a god. If the emperor hadn't confessed that he must find a way to win over the aborigines here, he would not let people take this risk. After all, as long as the army is surrounded, no matter how big the aborigines are, The tribe also had to be honest, he didn't believe that the indigenous tribe without guns could defeat his Tianxiong army.

In the end, Zhu Cijiong was naturally "predicted". About three hours later, Zhao Mingfeng finally returned safely, and he also brought a dozen or so natives.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw those Indians in sleeveless tunics through the binoculars, he was also very pleasantly surprised. This service, this appearance, is simply too much like a fool!

He couldn't help calling all the Mongolian people to the deck and took them there to wait.

Sure enough, after the Indians in short sleeveless tunics boarded the boat, they chattered a few words, and immediately an old man from the Mongolian tribe went up to chat with them excitedly.

After chatting for a few words, the old man excitedly said in Chinese: "Marshal, they are our lost clansmen!"

Finally able to communicate with the natives here, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help laughing.

With the translation from the Mongolian, the two sides soon figured out the specific identity of the other party. One side is naturally the expeditionary force of the Ming Empire, and the other side is the Seattle Tribe, and their chief is called Seattle.

After a brief introduction, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't wait to say: "Hurry up and tell them what we mean by the Ming Empire."

What does Ming Empire mean?
Naturally, it can't be said that they came to colonize. If they say so, it would be strange if they don't turn their faces.

These Mongolian people who have been selected have been trained, and they already know how to speak.

What Zhu Cijiong told them was that the Ming Empire came to North America this time mainly to help the local Indians clean up the anti-Habsburg alliance powers.

Because the great powers could not defeat the Ming Empire in Europe, they came here to plunder. In order to prevent them from developing through plunder, the Ming Empire also followed.

The purpose of the Ming Empire is to help the Indians defend this land and prevent the enemy from developing and growing through plunder.

Well, more than half of this is nonsense, and the purpose is naturally to confuse the Indians with the banner of justice, making them think that the Ming Empire sent troops to help them.

What Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect was that the chief of Seattle was very excited after listening to the translation of the tribe. Seeing his dancing and dancing, he should have taken what the Meng people said seriously.

What is going on here?
He only found out after being translated by others, that he actually knew about the invasion of America by the European powers!
It turned out that the British had begun to invade the North American continent more than 30 years ago. They had successively established six colonial strongholds on the west coast, and the entire west coast was almost occupied by them.

Many tribes on the west coast were shattered by the colonists, and the remaining Indians of these tribes were forced to move around, which naturally spread the news throughout the North American continent.

Lu Xiangsheng attaches great importance to the information provided by the chief of Seattle. You must know that even Zhao Mingfeng, who has been investigating here for more than three months, has not seen the shadow of the British. Now someone knows the news of the British. Come without any effort.

However, he was soon disappointed. The Indians did not have a specific unit for measuring distance at the moment. The chief could only describe the distance in terms of horse distance. According to his description, it would take at least ten miles to reach the British colony from here. Heaven's ride!

Ten days, if calculated according to Daming's horse distance, it would be quite terrifying. Daming's daily horse distance is at least [-] miles, and ten days, that is at least [-] miles. Such a long distance is simply fatal. ah.

Of course, now is not the time to go to war with the big powers. With a general location, he can also send scouts to investigate directly, and he can always find out where the British are. Now, the most important thing is to build a base, or build a Jinshan City.

It can be said that so far, the chief of Seattle has a good impression of the Ming Empire army, because the two sides have a common skin color, a common enemy, and even a common language, and it is easy to develop a sense of intimacy.

Do you want to immediately put forward the request to build a city?

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, and it is better to stabilize the relationship first, or continue to fool around for a while, now that the two parties have only communicated for a while and they need someone to give up the territory, this is probably very difficult.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng started a wooing strategy.

For example, they took out a lot of special products of Ming Dynasty, such as cloth, porcelain, tea and even grain, and gave the chief a lot;

For another example, take the chief to visit the armed Fuchuan and super battleships, so that they can understand the strength of Ming Dynasty;

Another example is to let the chiefs demonstrate the power of muskets and artillery to the chief, let them understand the strength of the European powers from the side, and let them subconsciously have the idea of ​​asking the Ming Empire for help.

After a few days of courting and hinting, the chief of the Indian tribe had already regarded the Ming Empire as a friend, and even many people from the entire tribe went to one or two hours a day to see the fleet of the Ming Empire.

The exchanges between the two sides are becoming more and more frequent, and the relationship is becoming more and more harmonious. It seems that it should be almost the same.

On this day, Lu Xiangsheng personally brought a gift to visit the chief's house. After greeting for a while, he pretended to frown and said awkwardly: "Dear Chief Seattle, I have something to ask for your help."

The chief of Seattle is also a very enthusiastic person. Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's expression, he immediately cared and said: "My friend, what's the matter, just tell me if you have any difficulties, and I will help you if I can help."

Lu Xiangsheng said a little embarrassedly: "Dear chief of Seattle, it's like this. You also know that our enemies are very powerful. With my current number of people, I can't drive them away at all. I have already told our emperor Send a request that he send more fighters to help his Indian friends."

When Chief Seattle heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "This is a good thing, my friend, come on, come more people, and help us drive those demons away."

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said awkwardly: "Dear chief of Seattle, at least a million soldiers are needed to drive those demons away, and people in our Ming Empire are used to living in cities. I have searched all the nearby areas. , Only the side of this great lake is suitable for building a large city, and there is not enough water in other places to support the consumption of millions of people."

The chief of Seattle was obviously taken aback when he heard the Mongolian's translation, and then he asked the Mongolian a lot of questions in a chattering voice. The Mongolian who was in charge of the translation began to dance and gesture. It seemed that he was introducing the size of Ming's city.

The chief of Seattle listened for a while, then pointed to the land under his feet and asked: "My friend, do you mean to build a huge city here?"
