Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1054

Seattle has a mild and humid climate, fertile land, abundant water resources, and a wide variety of wild animals living in hilly lakes. For those indigenous people who rely on hunting and gathering for their livelihood, it is a paradise.This branch of the Sioux tribe came here chasing a group of migrating bison and temporarily settled down by the lake and river. They are invincible.At least for those bison and reindeer, they are invincible.

However, the invincible Sioux also has their own troubles: the number of wild animal and plant resources in this wasteland is limited after all, and it is becoming more and more difficult to support the growing tribe. In the past, the hunters of the tribe could easily hunt enough for the entire tribe. The prey is full, but now the number of hunters has increased several times, there is still no way to get enough food, and starvation is becoming more and more frequent. The tribal elders know that it is time to migrate to other places.

For the Sioux, migration is a part of their life. Every tribe is constantly migrating, looking for a place with more food. When the place can no longer bear the increasing population, they will separate. , and then migrate in different directions, again and again.Therefore, the hunters of the tribe were very busy during this period, looking for prey in the wilderness all day long, and the women were also sent out to collect edible roots and grass seeds, so as to reserve as much food as possible for the upcoming great migration. food.As for Seattle, maybe after more than ten years, they will come back after the animal and plant resources here are restored. If it is occupied by other tribes at that time, they can only resort to war. People in the wasteland, solve the problem. The way the problem is it's that simple.

But now, a team of hunters has brought back a group of mysterious visitors. They wear exquisite clothes and carry weapons made of steel. Many of them even carry a weapon with a long metal pipe. People who live in this land, people who live in the wilderness don't have these things!What surprised everyone the most was that these mysterious visitors were just like them, with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes!This confused the elder. He had seen people who got off the big ships, but they didn't look like this. Those who crossed the ocean and came to the wilderness in big ships had snow-white skin, blue or brown eyes, and golden hair. , or red, plus an eagle-like nose, like a monster, it's scary, and these people in black clothes... seem to be no different from them!
The leading man in black made a very strange courtesy to the elder, and said a few words in a strange language.

The eagle warrior next to the man in black immediately translated: "My master said: He came from the far east, under the order of their emperor, to find the tribe branches scattered in every corner of the world, and came to this wasteland under the guidance of the gods , hastily stepped into the noble territory, what an offense, please forgive me!"

Hmm, it's definitely not those demons from Europa, those demons are not so polite!

The elder settled down, and also performed an ancient and weird etiquette to this well-mannered man, and said in an almost chant tone: "Guest from afar, although I can't imagine how far away you came from. , but I also know that in order to come here, you must have suffered a lot... Hurry up and enter my tribe, I hope that the food we provide and the dance of our tribe girls can make you forget the pain and exhaustion of the journey!"

The eagle warrior translated it.

The man in black smiled: "Thank you very much for the elder's enthusiasm! My name is Yao Chonggu. It's not easy to come empty-handed when we meet for the first time. I just prepared some simple gifts. Please accept them!" A warrior with a headdress somewhat similar to that of Father Sun brought several boxes to the elder, opened them, and then retreated respectfully.Yao Chonggu opened it with his own hands, and all the Indians who came to watch widened their eyes!
The first box contained knives, yes, dogleg knives!Don't worry about its weird shape, just looking at the texture of the steel is enough to make every Sioux warrior fall in love at first sight!

The second box contained a box full of cans. It is not known what was in the cans, but for the Indians who were extremely short of metals, the cans alone were a good gift. Triangular layers are stacked and glued together to make good arrowheads, much better than stone or bone arrowheads.

The third box is filled with exquisite cotton cloth, the beautiful pattern and beautiful luster make the heartbeat of every beauty-loving Indian woman.

The fourth chest contained linen, also very fine.

The fifth box contains clothes that have been made in advance, with bright colors and exquisite patterns. There are ten sets in total, for both men and women, old and young.

The sixth box contained things like pots, bowls, cups, spoons, etc. It was not beautiful, but it made people more and more curious.

There are six boxes of gifts in total, and each box is provoking the curiosity of the Sioux people.Yao Chonggu smiled and said, "This is the clothing and utensils from our hometown. I don't know if the elder likes it?" He glanced around and saw a tall, fair-skinned girl hiding in the crowd, her eyes turned to this side Looking around, he waved to her, picked up a long green dress and handed it to her.The girl came over timidly, and when she saw the patriarch nodding, she reached out to take the long skirt in a daze, and fiddled with it subconsciously, but she didn't know how to do it.Yao Chonggu smiled and waved, two maids stepped forward, he said to the elder: "This girl likes this suit very much, can I let her try it on?"

The elder didn't have any objections, because this girl who was fiddling with a long skirt and her eyes were getting brighter was his most beloved granddaughter.After obtaining his consent, the two maids went into her tent with the girl, apparently to help her dress up.

Yao Chonggu picked up a box of canned beef, opened it, dug out a small piece of beef with a knife, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then handed it to the elder.The elder looked suspicious. Seeing that the guest had eaten first, and the hunters who brought the guest back were swallowing their saliva, he probably realized that it was delicious, so he didn't say much, and followed Yao Chonggu's example to dig it out with a knife. Just chew the beef.After chewing twice, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he did not speak, but his chewing movements became faster and faster...

Yao Chonggu laughed, opened several boxes of canned food and handed them to those old people who seemed to have status.These old people tasted a piece, just like the elders, without saying a word, they just kept chewing faster, and the chewing sound became louder and louder...

Yao Chonggu asked someone to bring another can of candy and distributed it to those little kids and girls. After those little kids and girls licked it, their eyes were as bright as a hundred-watt light bulb. Maybe it was the first time they had grown so big. Did you know that there is a taste called "sweet"?This wonderful taste captured all the children at once.

... It's not without reason that Yang Menglong gives candy to children every now and then!
The elder, who finished eating the canned food, still couldn't get enough of it, and looked at Yao Chonggu eagerly.

Yao Chonggu didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked someone to bring a jar of sugar and hand it over.The old guy picked up a little bit and put it into his mouth, his expression immediately became very weird.He didn't try anymore, but immediately put the lid on and had someone sent to his tent to hide, immediately, immediately, speed!

Exquisite fabrics and clothing, extremely sharp knives, and delicious food, all these made these Sioux people realize that the other party came from a completely strange world and enjoyed a rich material civilization beyond their wildest imagination. They don't know how many years ahead!The whole tribe was jubilant, just in time, someone had brought back two bison, and everyone hurriedly peeled off the cowhide, cut off a large piece of beef and roasted it on the fire, chopped up the internal organs of the cow and put them in an earthen pot to cook. The girls and boys of the tribe put on bright costumes, sang and danced beside the fire, and the whole tribe became a sea of ​​joy.Yao Chonggu paid attention and found that the main cooking utensils of this tribe are earthen pots. Their cooking method is to chop the ingredients and put them into the earthen pots for cooking.He secretly sighed in his heart... so backward, no wonder tens of millions of Indians faced with a small number of white immigrants, only to be slaughtered. civilization, what choice is there other than being beaten?

Of course, the most powerful weapon used by white immigrants to destroy Indians is bacteria.For a long time, the center of human civilization has been in the Eurasian continent. The American continent is isolated by the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and is isolated from the circle of civilization. While staying in the Stone Age for thousands of years, it also blocked the possibility of diseases from the European continent being introduced to the American continent.Compared with the Eurasian ethnic groups who have been ravaged by smallpox, plague, cholera, typhoid and other horrific plagues for thousands of years, the natives of the American continent at the side of the Pacific Ocean are like flowers in a greenhouse, growing up in a sterile room The little white mice, they only worry about drought and hunger, plague?That's something that doesn't exist!However, the arrival of white immigrants brought germs from the European continent. Plague, smallpox, cholera and other diseases spread rapidly. The Indians, who had been protected by the ocean for thousands of years, paid a terrible price for their comfort. The disease that had appeared crazily attacked their bodies, killing them by the tens of thousands. Pieces of densely populated cities turned into wastelands, and prosperous cities turned into ghost towns...

The North American continent is more fortunate. The climate here is relatively cold, and the disease is difficult to spread. In addition, the land is sparsely populated, so the disasters in South and Central America have not yet been staged here.But with more and more white immigrants coming to North America, how much of their happy hour of singing and dancing is left?
Yao Chonggu can't think of such a long-term thing for the time being. He just wants to conquer the aborigines in this land, help them establish their own country, and then ask Daming for a vassal.The North American continent is so vast, there must be a lot of land suitable for farming. As long as a few vassal states belonging to the Ming Dynasty are established here, the Ming Dynasty can immigrate here in large numbers... They have the same skin color as the Indians, and it is far more difficult to integrate the Indians. Those white pigs are much easier!In South America, he has already established a Kingdom of La Plata, and the fertile plain of 150 million square kilometers has become Daming's pocket. For all generations, there will be no more worries about land annexation. The descendants of the Yan and Huang descendants will be distributed all over the world, and tens of millions of Indians will survive because of this.
Unlike white pigs who just savagely slaughtered, Yao Chonggu had already summed up a set of ways to conquer these aboriginals in a bloodless way in the process of dealing with Australian aborigines and South American aborigines. Grab their stomachs, catch their eyeballs, let them feel admiration and envy for themselves, and then make the best use of the situation, how difficult it is to conquer them!The cloth he sent out just now has undoubtedly conquered the elders and girls of the tribe, and the steel knife has conquered the young men of the whole tribe. Now it's time to conquer their stomachs.He proposed to the elders through Pachaku to show them the unique cooking methods of the East, and the elders readily agreed. The guests gave them so many exquisite gifts, and they have not yet decided what to give them. This is a small request. They have no reason to refuse.

So, several chefs quickly set up the pot, put down the chopping board, took out the seasonings, and got a portion of beef and a portion of beef offal. The kitchen knives were flying up and down, and they were cleaned up in a while, and then they were thrown into the pot and added Chili, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings are ready to make a fragrant beef stew.The indigenous people gathered around the pot and watched without blinking. Someone reached out to touch the pot and was immediately burned to the point of grinning.They chattered:

"What is this thing made of? It's so thin and light, lighter than the most exquisite earthen jar!"

“It heats up so fast and works better than my crock pot!”

"It holds so much, ten earthen jars can't hold so much!"

"And it smells so good! Yes, I can smell it now, it must be delicious!"

"It's a treasure! Maybe I should exchange my buckskin for this treasure!"

"Trying to trade a buckskin for it? Don't even think about it! I may have some hope for two otter skins..."

While discussing, there was a burst of exclamation, and the group of foodies who were already drooling looked at the prestige, and their eyes were straight when they stared:

A girl in a light green dress with long hair reaching her waist is coming out of the tent with a shy smile. The gorgeous dress makes her look noble and elegant. When the wind blows, her long hair is dancing. Her skirt was dancing, and every pattern on her clothes was dancing. She walked across the grass lightly, like the incarnation of a fairy, and these barbarians were stunned!They have never seen such a beautiful woman!Only a few people muttered uncertainly: "Isn't this Xingna? How did she become so beautiful?"

Yao Chonggu nodded secretly, after that girl changed into this dress, she seemed to be a different person, it really depends on the clothes!With such a free model, it should not be a problem for the costumes from the East to conquer these indigenous people, right?
The young girl Xingna looked over the crowd and landed on Yao Chonggu. She smiled sweetly, and immediately the clouds in the sky lost their color.She lifted the corner of her skirt, and walked towards him quickly, her steps became more and more light and graceful, making the hearts of countless young men beat like a deer!If at this time the girl announced that she would marry the bravest warrior, the whole tribe would soon be bleeding into rivers.Everyone looked at her obsessively, reluctant to blink.

Then I saw this beautiful girl tripped by the skirt, blah!He fell to the ground.

Yao Chonggu: "..."

Xingna got up quickly, and walked towards Yao Chonggu again, before taking two steps, her body swayed, and she fell down again!
Everyone: "..."

Congratulations to Xingna, she also acquired a not-so-beautiful skill while getting beautiful clothes:
Fall flat!
