Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 492

This morning, the port of New Yin Capital was once again crowded with ships of all sizes.

The sides of the newly built more than ten large piers are densely packed with armed merchant ships and Aegis ships, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who are carrying supplies almost form a line between the piers and the city gates.

Sun Chuanting finally led the fleet back to the voyage, and this time he brought all the urgently needed supplies of the Indian tribes.

Among them, there are thousands of war horses alone.

In this way, the plan that Taichang and Lu Xiangsheng have discussed for several days can also be implemented.

He immediately ordered someone to recruit Chen Siming and Hong Yun.

At this moment, Hongyun even learned the etiquette. When she saw Taichang, she bowed with the head, just like a courtier of a vassal state.

Of course, Taichang asked Chen Siming to teach him this.

Because the tribes here must first learn about respect and inferiority. If they don't understand respect and inferiority, it will be difficult to control.

Chen Siming has also learned almost the language of the Albena department, and there is no problem in translating it.

Taichang nodded slightly, motioning for them to be free from courtesy, and then asked: "How about it, can all the young and strong in your clan know how to ride horses?"

Hong Yun nodded repeatedly and said: "I know it, I know it, our Albena warriors know how to ride horses."

Taichang was quite pleased and said: "Very well, how many young and strong are there in your clan?"

Hong Yun said without hesitation: "There are about one thousand and one hundred people who can play."

Well, so many people should be enough.

Taichang said without hesitation: "I will give you a thousand horses and a thousand black iron knives."

what?
Hearing this, Hong Yun almost jumped up excitedly.

Seeing her appearance like this, Taichang couldn't help being taken aback.

It's a bit weird that this elderly woman dances and dances.

In fact, he misunderstood.

Hong Yun is not very old, she is only in her forties.

In fact, the appearance of a person has a lot to do with the living environment, nutrition intake, daily maintenance and so on.

Just like many movie stars in later generations, many of them are 60 or 30 years old and still look the same as [-] or [-] years old.

The scene of the classmate reunion is so weird, they are obviously the same age, but they look like two generations.

The same is true for Taichang. Although he was not liked by Wanli when he was the prince, the Queen Mother Li and Queen Wang at that time treated him very well.

Since he was a child, he was dressed in rich clothes and fine food, and he served a bunch of eunuchs and court ladies.

Therefore, he looks relatively young.

In fact, he is about the same age as Hong Yun.

It's just because the conditions of the Indian tribes are too difficult, so the people here are a bit premature.

Their average age is now less than 50.

That is to say, from the appearance, Hongyun has indeed entered the stage of an elderly person who is exhausted, but in fact, she is not very old.

Well, those are not the point.

Taichang was also just stunned for a moment, then continued: "I don't give away these horses and black iron knives for free. The young and strong of your clan must serve me and do things for me after they are equipped."

This is of course no problem.

Hong Yun nodded again and again and said: "Chief of all people, if you have anything, just say it, and we will try our best to help you."

Taichang nodded slightly again, and immediately ordered Wang Chengen to present a map of North America.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to the map and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

It's a pity that Hongyun doesn't know.

After all, at this moment, the Inca Empire and Aztec Empire had only developed to the stage of knotting records and using a small amount of pictographs. These Indian tribes scattered all over the Americas did not have any characters. How could they understand maps? .

Hong Yun looked at the map, then shook his head repeatedly and said, "This, I don't know what it is."

Uh, this is a little troublesome.

Taichang thought for a while, then simply picked up the brush and pulled out a piece of white paper, then pointed to the outside and asked: "There is a city outside, do you know that?"

Of course I know this.

Hong Yun nodded again and again, "I know this."

Taichang nodded slightly, drew a big square frame on the white paper, and then introduced: "We can draw the city outside like this, do you understand?"

Well, they still can draw.

However, they usually draw on the ground, and most of them are animals, and the scale is not so large.

Hong Yun looked at the square frame on the white paper, pondered for a while, then nodded slowly and said: "I understand."

Just understand.

Taichang then drew a few small boxes in the big box, and then introduced: "Look, this is the main hall you visited last time, and this is the side hall you are in now. Can you understand this? "

Hong Yun just thought for a moment before nodding and said: "I understand."

well.

Taichang roughly drew the nearby rivers and bays on the side of the big square, and then explained: "This is the sea in front, and this is the river next to it. Can you understand it?"

The effect of this sequential teaching method is not bad.

Hong Yun nodded without hesitation and said, "I can understand."

It shouldn't be much of a problem now.

Taichang picked up what he drew, slowly put it on the map of America, then pointed to the position of the bay on the map and introduced: "Look, this is the sea in front of our city, this is the river next to our city, and yours The Horde is here."

Oh, that's what it means.

In fact, they also sometimes draw maps.

For example, when the young people in the tribe go out to hunt, the old people will also hold sticks and gesticulate on the ground, telling them how long to walk along the river, and then go hunting when they see woods or mountains.

This map is just much bigger than the one they drew.

Hong Yun nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. In fact, we often draw this kind of pictures, but what we draw are the nearby rivers, mountains, forests and grasslands."

That's it.

Taichang said happily: "The first thing I want you to do is to send people on horseback to inform all the tribes you can find, and ask them if they want to get Da Ming's help.

If you want to, send someone to ride your horses to the capital of Xinyin and tell me how far their tribe is from here, where it is roughly located, how many people there are, and how young and strong they are.

Do you understand it? "

Uh, there's a problem.

Hong Yun thought for a while, and then asked: "The distance and location you mentioned are based on the direction of the sun or the direction of the river, how many days to walk or how long to ride on horseback?"

Well, it looks like they don't have a concept of units of length yet.

What about this?

After all, not everyone walks at the same speed, and not everyone gallops at the same speed. If they want to calculate the distance based on this, it is likely to be messy and wrong at all.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "How about this, when the young and strong of your clan go to inform other tribes, bring our people, and you don't have to worry about the distance and location."

That's fine.

Hong Yun nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, when will we send someone to notify the other tribes, shall we go later?"

Uh, don't worry, I have to summon the scouts to explain.

Taichang thought about it again, then shook his head and said: "You should send someone tomorrow, we have to prepare before we can follow you."

no problem.

Hong Yun still nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, you can go whenever you want."
