Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 689 Identification
Luo Sigong was really in a hurry.

It has been more than [-] days since he led the army here, and he took down the Portuguese cities and farms, expanded the port terminal, and roughly transformed the vicinity of the port into a large military camp and logistics base.

Then, basically there is no more.

As for the task of inquiring about the specific situation of the entire South American continent, he also seized some Portuguese information and interrogated the captives, but there was basically no progress in the follow-up.

There is no way, this primitive jungle is really difficult for people to move.

It would be difficult for the people he sent to go through the jungle to get out of the Natal territory, let alone cross a distance of two to three thousand miles to Bahia to investigate.

Of course he knew that this was not going to work. Even if he couldn't complete the investigation mission before the emperor arrived, he had to try his best to change the status quo and prepare for the follow-up investigation.

Otherwise, his vanguard would be for nothing, and the emperor would definitely be extremely disappointed.

As for how to change the status quo, after much deliberation, he could only win over the tribes here, try to make them form a tribal alliance and become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

In this way, they can get through land transportation with the help of tribes in the jungle.

This approach seems a bit similar to what the Portuguese colonists did. At least, on the surface, they all wanted to win over the tribes here.

However, the purpose of Ming Dynasty is completely different from the purpose of the European colonial bandits.

No matter how sanctimonious the European colonial robbers pretended to be, their purpose was to rob, plunder land, plunder resources, seize markets and even people.

In a word, no matter whether they come to write or come to Wu, whether they do it openly or secretly, their ultimate goals are the same.

The essence of a colonist is a robber, and it’s okay if you don’t rob him.

If you don't steal it for him honestly, he will wipe out your entire group.

North American Indian tribes are an obvious example.

Daming is different, at least, the Ming led by Taichang is different.

Taichang is really kind to his own people, and he treats the Indian tribal people who identify with Ming Dynasty as if he treats his own people.

This is also the main reason why Luo Sigong could think of this method.

Because this is what Taichang did in the North American continent. At this moment, he just changed the method from the North American continent to the South American continent to implement it.

The reason why he came to Li Shuben was to ask for help to win over the Indian tribes here.

Li Shuben is not a nerd who only knows how to study herbs, he also knows the priorities.

This herbal medicine can be studied slowly, but the emperor's plan cannot be delayed.

He immediately ordered Zhao Baiyun to invite the chief of the tribe here to see if he could help.

The primitive tribes here are not the same as the Indian tribes in North America. They only have chiefs and no elders or chiefs.

Because the tribes here have a small population, basically a few hundred people, and one chief is enough.

After hearing Zhao Baiyun's report, the chief of the Dao Tribe nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, we will listen to the doctor, and we will do what the doctor says."

Uh, that's what I said.

We are asking you to help, not to teach you how to do it.

The matter of this tribal alliance is not so simple.

Li Shuben thought about it, and simply asked: "Do you think other tribes will agree to form an alliance?"

The chief of the Dao tribe still nodded without hesitation: "As long as you speak to the genius doctor, they will definitely agree."

How do I speak?
This tribal alliance is not a one-sentence matter. How you form an alliance, how to gather young people to help after the alliance, and even how you manage the tribal alliance after the alliance, etc. have to be discussed.

Li Shuben thought about it, and then said to Luo Sigong: "Master Luo, why don't you let him send someone to invite all the chiefs from the nearby tribes over, so we can have a good discussion with them?"

Of course this needs to be discussed.

Luo Sigong also nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, let him invite as many tribal chiefs as possible, and let's ask them carefully to see what their opinions are."

This time, I'm afraid it's too late!

Li Shuben couldn't help reminding: "Lord Luo, didn't you say that the emperor will be here soon? It will take time for them to summon the chiefs of the nearby tribes. If they also call the chiefs of the tribes two or three hundred miles away, it will take ten days. It’s enough for them to notify everyone, and it’s hard to say whether they can rush over.”

Well, this is indeed a problem.

How to do it?

Luo Sigong thought about it carefully, and then said decisively: "Well, let them notify the chiefs of the tribes who can arrive within three days. After three days, we will discuss with the chiefs of the nearby tribes before deciding what to do next."

It can only be done now.

Li Shuben nodded slightly, and then discussed with the chiefs of the Dao tribe, and directly set the time for the chiefs of the tribes participating in the discussion and the meeting.

During these three days, Luo Sigong was not idle either. He ordered people to inquire about the preferences of the primitive tribes here, and then began to carry things to the Dao tribe.

Corn on the cob, dried fish and meat, salt and spices, pots and pans, etc., everything related to eating, the tribes here seem to like it.

As for what to wear, they didn't seem very interested.

At this moment, the people of the Dao tribe were no longer naked, because Wang Chong looked at them pitifully, so he gave them some cloth, and asked the people of the North American Indian tribe to teach them how to make simple clothes.

However, each of them only wore a simple short skirt, and there was still space hanging underneath. As for the tops, they didn't make them, and they didn't want to wear them.

There's no way, it's too hot here, and they're just used to it, so they can't wear it at all.

Of course, these are not the point.

The point is that they are really grateful to the people of the Ming Empire, and they treat the young and strong Indian tribes in North America as relatives.

Because the people of the Ming Empire and the young and strong of the North American Indian tribe not only saved the lives of most of their tribe, but also brought them a lot of delicious food.

In the past, they were desperately looking for food, and they often screamed with hunger. These days, they eat all kinds of delicacies every day.

Moreover, you don't have to go to the jungle to work hard, at most you can just show people the way.

There is no comparison between the days before and the days now!

Although they didn't know much, they all knew that these were brought to them by people from the Ming Empire and North American Indian tribes, and they were really kind to them.

People in Indian tribes all have a fine tradition, that is, they will treat whoever is kind to them, and they will work hard for whoever saves their life.

This fine tradition has brought them misery in history, because in history they encountered hypocritical European colonial bandits.

People treat them well at the beginning with a purpose, and the result of their kindness to others is to be wiped out by others!

It was different now, what they encountered was the Ming Empire and the North American Indian tribe.

The Indian tribes in North America are their kind, so naturally they will not harm them, and the Ming Empire is not some kind of colonial robber.

Moreover, they have all understood in detail that the reason why the Indian tribes in North America can live their lives today is because of the help of the Ming Empire.

At the beginning, they were worse than them. At any rate, they hadn't encountered any murderous colonial robbers, or the Portuguese couldn't handle them.

However, the Indian tribes in North America were killed by colonial robbers, and many tribes and even tribes perished.

At the moment, the Indian tribes in North America have no worries about food and drink, and their lives are much better than theirs.

All this was brought to them by the Ming Empire!

After listening to the descriptions of the young and strong Indian tribes in North America, the members of the Dao Tribe did not treat the members of the Ming Empire as outsiders at all.

Like the Indian tribes in North America, they agree that they are of the same race as the people of the Ming Empire, and the people of the Ming Empire came to help them from their original place.
