Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 507
The Dakota Prairie is the territory of the Sioux Dakota Tribal Alliance, and it is also the closest prairie to the New Yin Capital City.

There are endless grasslands, undulating forests, and herds of buffaloes moving slowly like black clouds. The scenery is so magnificent that it can be said to far exceed the grasslands of Duke Wen's mansion.

However, at this moment Taichang has no intention of admiring the scenery here.

Because he is too tired.

On this journey, he led tens of thousands of cavalrymen from the Shenwu Battalion to run for more than 2000 miles and ran for nearly ten days.

There is no way, this continent is really too big, and the territory of the Sioux people is also very large.

The territory of the Dakota tribal alliance is still within the range of five hundred to two to three thousand miles from the capital of Xinyin, and the territory of the other two tribal alliances is four to five thousand miles away from the capital of Xinyin.

There are no planes at this time, and there are no trains on the American continent. The fastest way to go by land is to ride a horse. In order to make it easier for all the tribal chiefs of the Sioux to gather, he can only choose the meeting place in Dakota. On the prairie.

Fortunately, all the Sioux tribes now have war horses. Otherwise, the chiefs of all the Sioux tribes might have to wait three or four months.

It has been more than ten days, and I don't know how many chiefs of the Sioux tribe have gathered.

Taichang looked at the endless grass in front of him, his face was full of contemplation.

The reason why he helped the Indian tribes to form a tribal alliance-style vassal state was mainly to gather the young and strong of each tribe and practice it well so that they could deal with the colonists who invaded this continent.

The problem is that the Indian tribes are too scattered, and even the nearest tribes are separated by tens of miles.

In this case, it will be more troublesome to gather the young and strong from various tribes.

It is impossible for him to equip every young man with a horse, and most of them have to walk to the assembly point by foot.

This is a distance of tens or hundreds of miles, how long does it take to gather the young and strong of twenty or thirty tribes?
It seems that the first step is to follow Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion, first help them build the acropolis, and gather people from twenty or thirty tribes together in advance, so that it will be much more convenient to gather and train the young and strong.

However, gathering people from [-] or [-] tribes will face a problem, and that is the problem of food.

Originally, these tribes were mainly hunting, and not many tribes really knew how to grow crops.

Moreover, even tribes that know how to cultivate crops do not grow a lot of crops, and the yield is not terrible.

In this case, how to solve the food problem by gathering people from [-] or [-] tribes?
Hundreds of thousands of people are hunting in an area, and the prey within a hundred miles will definitely be hunted down soon, and there will be a famine at that time.

It seemed that after the establishment of the Acropolis, they had to be taught to cultivate wasteland, otherwise, the people of these tribes would have to rely on him for food.

There is no problem in helping them for a year or two, but it will not work if they continue to do so.

People are like this. If you get used to eating plain rice and can get enough without doing anything, you will become lazy.

If the people here are too lazy to open up wasteland and farm by themselves, and the population grows explosively like the royal family of Ming Dynasty, then there will be big troubles.

Alas, none of the accompanying officials seemed to understand this particularly. Opening up wasteland and farming land is the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture. If I knew it earlier, I would have brought Chen Zilong here.

Now that it's all over, we have to send a boat to Beizhili to pick up people.

He was sighing inwardly there, some dark spots appeared faintly in front of him.

This should be the settlement of the Wacht tribe.

He raised the binoculars hanging on his chest to have a look, and sure enough, there was a huge grass shed densely packed in front of him.

There is no way, the Indians building a house at this moment will only use branches to prop up a bracket, and then spread hay outside.

Alas, they still have to be taught to build houses, build walls and so on.

Fortunately, this time the officials from the Ministry of Industry brought enough officials to teach them how to build the Acropolis first, gather people together, and then teach them how to grow food.

He pondered for a while, and the settlement of the Wacht tribe was close in front of him, and there were probably hundreds of people standing on the opening of the fence built with tree branches.

These should be the chiefs of the Sioux tribes.

Seeing that the distance was so close, Taichang quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop moving forward."

"Yu." A burst of intensive yelling sounded, and tens of thousands of cavalry from the Shenwu Battalion quickly gathered behind him, faintly forming a huge square formation.

He looked around for a while, and then pointed to the small river not far to the left: "Wen Zhao, take your cavalry to set up a big camp by the river."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand slightly, dismounted with the accompanying civil servants and military generals and a group of expert guards, and walked towards the tribal chiefs.

As soon as he walked in front of those tribal chiefs, the chiefs "crashed", all lay down on the grass, and let out a mountain call.

Uh, it seems that I have to teach people to read and write quickly, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to communicate with them.

Taichang was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said: "Excuse me, let me be flat."

Chen Siming translated it aloud, and the chiefs quickly got up from the ground.

The next step is to introduce the names of the tribes and chiefs one by one.

When Taichang heard this, his head grew big.

Forget the name of the tribe, what names do these people have, such as Black Deer, Baiyun, Sitting Bull, War Eagle, Little Black Bird, and Red Hat.

Well, let's wait until the camp is set up.

He smiled and nodded for nearly two quarters of an hour, and more than a hundred tribal chiefs finally finished their introductions.

By this time, the camp was almost set up.

He thought for a while, and then recruited an accompanying captain in Jinyi to whisper a few words, and then waved and led the chiefs to the camp.

There is no way, they came here by horseback this time, and they can't bring too big a tent. His tent is only a tent for ten people, and it simply can't hold so many people.

He could only order someone to place the table and benches and so on outside the big tent.

Soon, a large group of people came to the open space in the middle of the camp.

Taichang sat down on the bench in front of the big tent, and a group of translators began to direct the chiefs to form three small squares in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand directly, and Chen Siming took out the imperial edict and read it aloud.

Of course, Chen Siming read the Sioux language.

It probably means that the Ming Dynasty named the Sioux Dakota Tribal Alliance as the Suda State, the Sioux Nakota Tribal Alliance as the Suna State, and the Sioux Lakota Tribal Alliance as the Sula State.

All three countries manage the affairs of the tribal alliance in the form of a council of elders. Each tribe elects a grand elder to participate in the management of the tribal alliance. If there is something that cannot be decided, the governor of Ming Dynasty can be asked to mediate.

This time, the tribal chiefs need to agree on the boundaries of the three countries and the location of the capital.

From now on, the Three Kingdoms will be the vassals of Daming, and Daming will build cities and fortresses for all countries, provide food aid, and teach various knowledge.

In addition, the three countries each selected 4 to [-] horses to form a [-] Sioux coalition army. Daming would provide the Sioux coalition with weapons, equipment and various military supplies, provide food and salaries, and send generals to practice.

I hope that the Sioux Allied Forces can fight bravely under the command of General Daming, and together with other Allied Forces of the tribes, they will completely drive the invaders out of the North American continent.

When all the chiefs heard the words, they all lay down on the ground and shouted excitedly.

They have been really scared of being abused by the Spaniards these years.

They all know that if there is no tribal army and advanced weapons and equipment, they will only be beaten.

This time, it was Daming who forced Spain with hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of warships to return the territory to them. If Da Ming's army withdrew, even if they were not abused by the Spaniards, they might still be beaten by the invaders from the east what!
Now, Da Ming will not only give them weapons and equipment, but also lead them to completely drive the invaders out of this continent!
Daming will also build cities and fortresses for them, provide food aid, and teach them various knowledge.

From now on, they don't have to worry anymore, and they can finally live in peace and stability.

Seeing that these people were almost shouting, Taichang stood up, personally picked up a big flag with the word Su written on it, unfurled it against the wind, and then said loudly: "From now on, you will be the vassals and subjects of the Ming Dynasty. Clan surname, Su."

When the chiefs heard this, they were a little dazed at first.

However, after Chen Siming explained, they shouted excitedly again.

It turned out that they were going to have the same name as the Daming people, and from now on, they would live the same life as the Daming people!
