Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 486 No one can know the emperor's heart

Taichang's actions are really incomprehensible.

With a huge fleet of tens of thousands of horses, he had just arrived in America and found a foothold. He didn't do anything, but ran directly to give gifts to the tribes here.

If the tribe here is very strong, that's all.

The problem, the tribes here seem to have no fighting power!
This is not the arrogance of the accompanying generals. The Indian tribes at the moment really have no fighting power.

Because the weapons they used were wooden sticks, stone axes, wooden spears, wooden javelins, wooden bows and arrows, etc.

In other words, they don't even have iron, and their weapons are all wooden.

This kind of weapon is like a joke in front of the well-equipped Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion soldiers.

Actually, this is not a joke.

At this moment, the weapons of the Indian tribes are so backward, they are really incomparable with the soldiers of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion.

You know, the original most powerful Inca Empire on the American continent was conquered by Pizarro with less than [-] Spanish soldiers!

It is also one of the greatest miracles in colonial history.

According to records, the Inca Empire at that time had a population of 600 million and at least [-] soldiers.

However, they were conquered by Pizarro with less than 200 people.

This is a fact.

More than 100 troops can't defeat more than [-] people. It is conceivable how backward their weapons and equipment are.

In other words, the weapons they hold cannot be considered weapons.

Why did the emperor give a big gift to a tribe with such backward weapons and equipment?

And he still put everything down, didn't care about anything, and ran over to give a big gift to someone.

All the civil servants and generals were dumbfounded.

Chen Siming was actually in a daze right now, he really didn't understand why the emperor asked him to find a common language with these people.

These people are not from Nanyang. They have tried all the Nanyang dialects, but they still can't understand anything.

In desperation, he could only break free from the warm embrace of these people, ran up to Taichang, cupped his hands in embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, I have tried all the Nanyang dialects, but it still doesn't work."

This is normal.

It would be strange if it worked after a try.

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you say goodbye to them, and come back tomorrow to continue communicating with them."

Ah!
Come over tomorrow to communicate with these people with hand gestures?
There is no way, who dares to disobey the emperor's will.

Chen Siming could only cup his hands and say "Zunzhi", then he turned his head to greet his translators and hundreds of dark guards, and hurriedly said goodbye to them and left.

This farewell is very simple, and people will understand when they turn around and wave their hands.

They just walked back quickly under the embrace of the Indian warriors and the reluctance of others.

Taichang didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said, "Let's go back first."

To be honest, his behavior really stunned everyone.

After returning to the pier, he actually ordered all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion to disembark, set up tents, and prepare to build ports and cities.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng finally couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that we should take a good look along the west coast of America first, then decide on four harbors, and build ports and cities at the same time?"

This plan does not mean that it must remain unchanged. The situation here is obviously beyond their expectations, and the original plan will naturally change.

Taichang smiled slightly and said: "I really didn't expect that luck would be so good. This place is very good. Let's build a city port here first."

This luck, how should I put it?

If you just look at it from the perspective of taking territory, their luck is indeed very good.

Because there is no Spanish stronghold from here to the north, and the fighting power of the tribes here is basically zero.

In other words, they can easily take over the territory from here to the north, and the Spaniards have nothing to say.

They didn't rob the Spaniards of these sites. After all, the Spaniards haven't even driven out the nearby tribes yet.

They are expanding their territory entirely by themselves, and have nothing to do with the Spaniards.

Question, the main purpose of their trip seems to be to build four large supply points first, and then prepare to dig a canal!

The emperor didn't say that he ran over and grabbed the territory directly.

However, this is also a good thing.

It is a great achievement to expand the territory!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but excitedly said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, should we first take down all the land north of here?"

Who told you that?
Taichang shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, let's find out the situation of all the tribes here first."

Is this to know yourself and the enemy and win a hundred battles?

Question, do tribes that don't have such weapons need to be so careful?
Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, they don't seem to even have weapons. Shouldn't we just run over this kind of force and find out their situation?"

Don't keep thinking about fighting!

Taichang still shook his head again and again and said: "No, we absolutely can't start a war with them. We can't occupy any place where there are tribes gathering here. We have to build a good relationship with them. You have to remember that you must not fight with them." Meet with swords."

Ah!
Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?
Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, is it necessary for us to make good friends with such backward forces?"

Of course it is necessary.

What's wrong with people falling behind?
As long as there is Daming's support, they will soon surpass the European countries!
You have no idea how many Indians there are on the American continent.

That's at least tens of millions!
If they are allowed to develop, and then controlled through weapons and technological advantages, the European countries will definitely not be able to compete with them on this continent.

You simply don't know what the consequences will be if all the territory here is taken away by the European colonists.

In short, if you want to completely change the world pattern, you have to start here and completely change the pattern here.

The pattern here is related to the development trend of the world in the next hundreds or even thousands of years!
Unfortunately, he couldn't make it clear.

He can't say that he is like a god, as if he knows everything and is omnipotent.

That person probably wants to take him for a nerve!

Taichang could only helplessly explain: "Jiandou, we can't just think about making people submit by force, we can also choose to use virtue to make people submit. It won't last long to make people submit by force. long."

Uh, that's not what you said when you fought Japan.

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned.

He really didn't understand what the emperor wanted to do.

At this time, Peng Bin got off the boat with a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry, ready to survey and map with tools.

Seeing this, Taichang simply waved his hand and said: "Okay, Jiandou, you go and command your soldiers to set up camp and prepare to build the city."

After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and walked towards Peng Bin and the others.

He is going to build a big city here that can accommodate a million people. He has already thought of the name, and it will be called New Yindu.

As for why, he didn't bother to explain, because he couldn't explain clearly at all.

Perhaps, in the future, everyone will naturally understand.

His decision stunned Peng Bin and the others.

At the beginning, what the emperor said seemed to be mainly to build ports and wharfs, why did it become mainly to build cities now?
Moreover, it is still a big city with a population of one million!
No one knows why he does this.

Chen Siming was also in a daze at the moment.

What are you doing tomorrow?

He didn't know what he could do by running there. Now they can only communicate with others by gestures, and there is no result at all.

What is the emperor asking them to do?

Fortunately, at this time, Taichang returned to the boat again, summoned all the general translators to the meeting hall, and then solemnly said: "You all go over tomorrow, communicate with people well, it is best to learn their language slowly .”

These people must be talented in languages, otherwise, they would not be able to become general translators who mastered several languages ​​these days.

It is really not difficult for them to learn a language.

As for how to learn, he can't teach these general translators.

Because he didn't know how these people learned several languages ​​without any teaching materials and without any language training schools.

Let them figure it out for themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Taichang ordered someone to take out some oracle bone inscription fragments and some Zhongdingwen utensils, put them on the table, and said seriously: "You will also take these tomorrow, but they are not gifts for them. You must let them understand that these things are very important. Valuable, or worth a lot of goods."

Are these things worth much?
Maybe, these seem to be barely considered antiques.

Chen Siming thought for a while, then asked carefully: "Your Majesty, how much is this thing worth?"

This is simple.

Without hesitation, Taichang said: "The smallest ones, you give them ten taels, the medium ones 50 taels, and the large ones 100 taels, or you can exchange them with goods of equivalent value."

what?
Chen Siming was puzzled and said, "Do they also have such things?"

Taichang said indifferently: "If you don't ask them to find it, why don't they try their best to find such a valuable thing? Tomorrow, you can bring less gifts and just bring a car. You have to let them find it Come trade with us."

Alas, what on earth does the emperor want to do?

Chen Siming was still confused when he heard the words.
