A news spread throughout the Suifen River Basin, the Tumen River Basin, and even the Ussuri River Basin.
The Ming Dynasty sent people again. It has been two hundred years.
Ever since Emperor Xuanzong abolished Nuergandusi, this cold land has been cut off from the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.
I heard that the person who came from the Ming Dynasty was the post-commander, who was a first-class military attache. I heard that he also had the title of Uncle Dingyuan. This was a real nobleman. Although they had cut off contact with the Ming Dynasty for a long time, they still had no respect for the Ming Dynasty.
I still know about the official position. After all, the old man is also spreading the news by word of mouth.
Two years ago, when Li Huaishu and others landed, they did not use the banner of the Ming Dynasty, because it was Yang Fan's private act. Therefore, it was very difficult for them to gain a foothold in the Suifen River Basin. The surrounding tribes were hostile to them.
Just like wild animals have their own territory, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Tigers know how to urinate everywhere to mark the boundaries of their territory, let alone these tribes.
In terms of productivity and the number of people they can support, the agricultural people have the largest number. They can feed the largest number of people on a single piece of land. They are followed by the nomadic people. Although only a dozen kilometers of grassland can support a small tribe of 100 people, this is less than the fishing and hunting people.
The nation is strong.
The fishing and hunting people have a very strong sense of territory, because the animal and plant resources in an area are very limited, and humans are the top creatures of the food chain. To support a tribe of 100 people by fishing and hunting requires a very large area of mountain forests. Mountain forests are no different from grasslands.
The grasslands are all flat land and pastures where sheep can be grazed. The animals and plants that can be eaten in the mountains are much less than in the grasslands. The virgin forest blocks out the sky and the sun, so you can't even see the sun, let alone find food.
Therefore, as soon as these strangers landed, they were attacked by the nearest tribe. Unfortunately, these Han people had advanced weapons. They were beaten to pieces with a single shot of musketry. The attackers were killed, and their tribesmen were all captured.
took these Han prisoners.
In this ancient world, whoever captures the prisoner is his slave.
These people had no choice but to work in Vladivostok, but they soon discovered that they could actually be clothed and fed, which shocked them.
Their daily lives are basically three days and nine meals, which is just enough food to sustain life. They have never had a full meal since they were born, not even once. Because the food is always not enough, which is just to sustain life.
.If anyone eats enough, someone will starve to death.
Since they were captured, the tyrannical soldiers took off their clothes and threw them into a hot water pool. They were so hot that they screamed and screamed. But they did not dare to resist, because those who dared to resist were shot to death with muskets.
They were horrified that these people were planning to eat them, so they washed them clean.
These people never bathe. When winter comes, they smear their whole bodies with animal fat to prevent freezing. Over time, they become like wild boars rubbing pine oil on pine trees, forming a hard shell all over their bodies. It is like natural armor.
.
They don't even know how to build houses. They know how to solve housing problems.
The Hezhen people used birch bark to build shacks for shelter and sewed clothes from fish skins. The savage Jurchens dug shafts in the ground, spread them with Ula grass, and covered them with herringbone shacks. They lived in caves inside. The Jurchens of the East China Sea were not much better.
go.
Ewenki, the herd of deer, migrates around with the herds of deer and builds herringbone shacks made of branches and deer skins in the wild wherever they go.
Li Huaishu discovered that there are only ten days of hottest weather here in the year, and there is no need to cover them with quilts. At such a temperature, it is easy to catch a cold while bathing, and there is a risk of death if you catch a cold. So they try to avoid bathing.
Li Huaishu was shocked at what kind of life these people lived. They were simply savages.
Gu Wuli's family of ten was ransacked by Li Huaishu's cavalry, who slipped them out of the shaft and took them to Vladivostok. This tribe had just attacked the city of Vladivostok the day before yesterday, and the Han people's revenge came quickly. They were killed in one day
Found the tribe's headquarters.
The Han people killed the warriors who dared to resist and captured the rest. They also set fire to the village.
At that time, Gu Wuli was soaked in hot water and trembling with fear.
When he came in, he saw a dozen large pots boiling water. He still warned his family in a low voice not to resist. These Han people are murderous devils. The patriarch led fifteen soldiers to attack, but none of them came back.
.
After being soaked for an hour, he was lifted up again. All his hair was shaved off, and then he was placed on a rack, and his skin, which had not been washed since birth, was rubbed with burlap cloth to bring out its original color.
Gu Wuli struggled desperately and roared loudly.
Li Huaishu frowned and asked, "What does this savage call?"
The translator told Li Huaishu that he would freeze to death in winter if the grease he had accumulated over thirty years was washed away.
In Li Huaishu's view, there is almost no difference between these people and wild animals. Except for their language and social structure, cavemen live like animals.
Their hygiene is extremely poor. Only by shaving all their hair can they completely remove lice and fleas and prevent infectious diseases. The master said that these people eat marmots and rats and should be careful of hemorrhagic fever and plague.
After these people were thoroughly cleaned, new cotton clothes and pants, felt boots, and dog-skin hats were distributed.
Gu Wuli's whole family's eyes widened. They had never worn such warm clothes before. This was cloth. Only the tribal leader had a cloth robe.
Then, they were placed in the city of Vladivostok to work as stevedores. The docks needed many workers.
There are many people like Gu Wuli's family. After they were captured, they lived in a warm wooden house with a fire kang, which was very warm. In addition to working, they also took care of three meals a day.
You can eat all three meals freely, as long as you can eat them.
They have no wages, and of course they don’t know what wages are. But they are very satisfied with their current life. They have plenty of strength and are not afraid of working, as long as you give them food. They are not greedy.
In the past two years, the surrounding tribes have been attacking these outsiders. But they were all defeated by these Han people. Because their fish bone spears, bows and arrows, and stone weapons ground from volcanic obsidian, could not penetrate the plate armor at all.
Not to mention, they also had cavalry and firearms.
Even the farmers who are farming carry muskets on their backs to hoe the fields. There are also big yellow dogs on the fields to keep watch. As soon as the gunshots are fired, the cavalry will arrive in an instant. Every attack will kill one or two Han people, and then the cavalry will kill them.
Kill and chase them all the way until the entire army is wiped out.
After losing these strong men, these tribes will not be able to survive in this jungle world. This is equivalent to declaring the tribe's demise, and they will all freeze to death in one winter because there are not enough strong laborers to store winter supplies.
Li Huaishu captured the elders, women, and children of these tribes and used them as labor force. If he left them alone, the best outcome for these people would be to be annexed by other tribes. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive this winter.
However, no one wants to annex the women and children of other tribes in winter because they are pure consumers rather than producers.
Although these people were captured as slaves by the Han people and killed the strongest men in the tribe, they did not hate the Han people because this was the law of survival here. The natural law of the jungle. They would not complain and would die if they did not want to resist.
, just accept your fate obediently.
In the past two years, the entire Suifen River Basin and the Amur Peninsula have been gradually occupied by Han immigrants.
