My Daming New Empire

Page 705

The soldiers in front screamed, and the soldiers in the rear fell to the ground, not daring to move.

More crow warriors bypassed the battlefield, ran to both sides, and fled in a hurry without daring to look back.

Di Pingxia in the rear watched thousands of people surrender directly, but less than 300 of them died.

He was a little dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "His grandma ran away without even hitting her! And surrendered directly?"

He didn't even think about how much impact they had on the crow tribe.

Among the Indian civilizations, apart from the Mayan civilization that has disappeared, strictly speaking, there are only the Aztec civilization and the Inca civilization.

Because only these two countries have formed a class society and have the embryonic form of the country.

Indians is just a general term, there are many branches among them.On the land of the Americas, the indigenous Indians are not a unified community.

They are divided into more than 600 different tribes; they speak more than 200 different languages.Their stature, shape, skin color, language, beliefs are different, and the development of civilization is uneven.

Because there is no writing, their civilization can only be called primitive civilization or ancient civilization.

Although they have planting and cultivation techniques of various crops represented by corn, they have become one of the cradles of agricultural civilization in the world.

Although their architectural art represented by the Pyramid of the Sun God has become a wonderful flower in the history of world architectural art.

Although their national costumes, represented by eagle feather crowns, are bright in color and exquisite in workmanship, adding bright colors to the world's national culture.

However, this primitive totem civilization is in its infancy, so in the original history, facing the Europeans who already had a modern civilization, they were conquered even if they were numerous.

Being in the ignorant stage of civilization, they have natural fear and worship of things they don't understand.

Seeing the clothes on the soldiers of Ming Dynasty and the iron objects in their hands, they were dazzled.

But seeing the weapon that emits white smoke and makes a loud noise, they will only think that it is a god descending from the earth.

So, they are going to escape...

The escape of the Crow Clan made the Blackfoot Clan overjoyed. Although they were brave and good at fighting, they were smaller than the Crow Clan and had far fewer people.

More importantly, the crow tribe occupied the plains and hills, and their continuous herd of buffalo provided food, while the Blackfoot tribe had a much smaller number, which made them no match for the crow tribe on the battlefield.

They regarded the Ming soldiers who saved them as their saviors, and raised their hands one after another, bowing down to salute the soldiers.

When Di Pingxia saw the scene in front of him, he sent an order to Wang Quan immediately from the guards. "Set up camp and gather prisoners. I won't leave today. Let Wang Quan contact the other party, let them send some people as guides, and then exchange some food with them. By the way, we need some tamed cattle..."

Di Pingxia and the others didn't carry too much food. If they didn't have anything to eat, they could exchange it directly with the Indians. If they didn't exchange it, they could grab it directly.

Although they haven't reached the richest part of the continent yet, these coal-carrying natives can live a carefree life, and it's impossible for them to survive.

Wang Quan's negotiation with the other party was very successful. Before the Ming soldiers' camp was built, Wang Quan had already brought the other party's leader outside the camp.

"My lord, it only takes ten strings of glass beads and a horizontal knife, and they will fill our empty carts with corn, beans, pumpkins, and dried beef. In addition, in order to thank us for saving them, they will Send ten old men, twenty strong men, and twenty and a half young men to act as our guides."

"Ask them if they have gold. If so, we can stay a few more days and exchange some cloth and ironware with them."

The crow clan's army fled a mile away, only to stop when they saw that the Ming people hadn't chased after them.A certain amount of conflict arose among several tribal elders over whether to go back to worship the "god" in order to continue escaping.

After some disputes, a small half of the people left, but most of them stayed in place, and sent soldiers to come back to check the situation.

Because the Ming people didn't chase after them, they turned their heads and thought about it, and they didn't want to miss the opportunity to contact the "god".

Di Pingxia received several elders of the Blackfoot tribe in the big tent, and he laughed when he heard that the Crow tribe returned and wanted to see him. "Let them in."

He knew very well that he was just exploring the way, as long as the other party didn't mess with him, he had no loss, and there was no need to make waves.

No matter whether His Highness decides to appease or exterminate them in the future, that is a matter for the future, and now he only needs to preserve his strength.

One year, now only one month has passed.It is said that in winter, the roads will be blocked by heavy snow. If you want to go directly to the east coast, you can't slack off.Nor can the measurement be delayed because of some trivial matters, hindering the itinerary.

Two hostile tribes, the Crow and the Blackfoot, sat together. Di Pingxia led them out of the big tent. Not far from them were two injured deer.

With a big wave of Di Pingxia's hand, ten muskets rang out, and each deer was shot five times in the head, and fell down in response.

Killing a deer in the air, this scene is even more frightening than just now on the battlefield.

Seeing the fear on their faces, Di Pingxia smiled with satisfaction. "We are the envoys sent by the heavens. In this land, all tribes should live in harmony. From now on, Daming will be your arbiter. If anyone is disobedient, he will end up just like those two deer. "

From Di Pingxia's point of view, there was nothing wrong with saying this.He came on behalf of the Son of Heaven and was going to conquer this land, so he was an angel.

And when the chef delivered the food cooked in a large pot, the rich aroma made them wonder.

These spiced meals, as well as the rice and noodles, were never seen or eaten by these Indians, and they quickly conquered their stomachs.

After their vigilance was removed, Di Pingxia asked them about the East.

In his opinion, understanding the surrounding environment as much as possible is the most important thing for them to reach their destination along the way.

The people of the crow family did not hide anything, and gave a detailed explanation of the situation from Montana to North Dakota.

After staying in place for two days, the exploration team exchanged some items with the Blackfoot people, and they wanted anything from the Ming people.

However, Daming does not want tobacco or furs, but only gold, and there are not many things they can exchange.

At this time, they didn't have any thoughts of robbing.

After departure, we walked for three days.Under the leadership of the Crow Clan, Di Pingxia finally saw what he wanted to see.

There are great emperors nourished by rivers everywhere, as well as the boundless prairie, and on the prairie, the dust and smoke raised by the galloping cattle are so charming in Di Pingxia's eyes.

"This is really a piece of land that has been blessed by the heavens. From now on, I will turn all of this land into the territory of Ming Dynasty."

Chapter 100 Northbound

(My head twitched yesterday. There were indeed no horses in America at that time. I knew it a long time ago, but I forgot it when I wrote it, and it has been revised.)

Compared with Di Pingxia's success in the north, Yi Xin has encountered many obstacles since he entered the sphere of influence of the locals.

The Aztec Empire, which once dominated one side in history, has not yet been established, and it has only just developed.

This is because in the north, each tribe is still in a primitive stage.

But in the south, because of the climate, the development of civilization is faster than in the north. There are already clear classes and ruling classes, and the rudiments of the country have been formed everywhere.

In 1372, a Cuhuacan-Aztec king, Acama Pichitilli, came to the throne.When Tepanix and the Aztecs were expanding, the Acohua Kingdom in the east of the Valley of Mexico gradually became stronger.

War broke out between the two countries, and the Aztecs played a crucial role.After the victory of the war, Tenochtitlan also became a big city.

In 1426, Tezomok, the king of Tepanix, died, and the kingdom of Tepanix fell into civil strife.

After two years of war, the new king of the Aztecs, Itzcoatl, finally won. He integrated Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan to form an alliance at that time, and achieved Dominion of the Valley of Mexico.
