Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 704 How dangerous is the jungle

At the port of Xinmacheng, more than [-] troops have been scattered around the river bank of more than [-] miles long, and rows of piers are under intensive construction.

These piers are big and small, the big ones may be three or four feet high, and the small ones are about ten feet high. Dozens of piers are neatly arranged on the river bank, which looks really spectacular.

The chiefs and young adults from nearby tribes ran over to see the scene, and they were all dumbfounded in shock.

To be honest, they just haven't seen much of the world.

When the Portuguese came over, they were already shocked by just a few "giant ships" of one or two thousand materials.

At that time, they were still watching secretly in the distant jungle.

Now they don't have any scruples, because the Ming Empire is not Portugal.

The people of the Ming Empire have the same roots as them, and they are very kind to them. Even if they stand on the pier near those giant ships to see the people of the Ming Empire, they will not speak of them.

Moreover, they also heard from the tribes on the grasslands in the north and the tribes in the jungles in the south.

The Ming Empire came to help them. The tribes on the grasslands in the north and the jungles in the south all received the help of the Ming Empire, and now they are living a good life without worrying about food and drink.

There is no need to doubt these, because everyone is holding the swords and guns presented by the Ming Empire.

Those knives and guns were frighteningly sharp, they could chop off a book as thick as an arm, and poke a big hole in a tree as thick as a waist with a single blow, they were many times stronger than the weapons they used.

There is also that delicious food, people lead the horse, pull over a big bag, and give it to them without hesitation.

And that horse, the feeling of riding it is really cool.

So, when they heard that the people from Natal said that the Ming Empire was going to help them, they all rushed over.

Unexpectedly, when they ran over to take a look, they saw rows of huge docks and giant ships.

These giant ships are really huge and scary, and one of them is as huge as a mountain.

They really couldn't believe it, it could be made by manpower.

The tribal chiefs and Qing Zhuang who rushed over were all looking at the Emperor with shock on their faces, but Taichang on the Emperor was turning his binoculars and looking at the direction of the entrance of the river.

He really didn't expect that Wang Chong and the others would survey such a large area in less than six days, and they would even bring all the tribal chiefs from this area.

Everyone has arrived at this moment, but the machine for cutting trees has not arrived yet!
How to do it?

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Ruoyu, go and inform Wang Chong, let him tell those chiefs, let's get together to discuss it tomorrow morning."

I have no choice but to ask them to go back and make preparations. It will be faster to notify them to organize the migration of the tribe after the tree-cutting machine arrives.

In the early morning of the next day, Maoshi arrived, and more than [-] chiefs from nearby tribes were already sitting cross-legged in the arranged meeting place beside the pier, waiting for Taichang to speak.

Taichang didn't talk too much, he went directly to the high platform and sat down, then said loudly: "I'm very happy that everyone came here so quickly to discuss.

I won’t say anything else, I believe you have heard it from your fellow clansmen who picked you up in the past few days.

Here, I will reiterate here, as long as you obey Daming's orders and work hard, I guarantee that you can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

Do you all understand? "

In the past few days, the young men from the North American tribe and the people from Natal have indeed told these chiefs a lot, and they also believe that as long as they follow Daming, they will have a good life.

All the chiefs nodded repeatedly to indicate that they understood.

Well, it's good to understand.

Taichang immediately said loudly: "I plan to cut down all the trees in the area where you live together, and then build a large city. At that time, you can find anything to do in the city and you can live comfortably. Good day, do you have any comments?"

To be honest, he really didn't know if these chiefs would have any objections.

After all, people have lived here for thousands of years, and suddenly they want to cut down all the jungles where they live, what will they think?
This is really bad.

It's normal for people to have opinions. Let's see what they say first, and then enlighten them based on what they said. There should be no problem.

So what would these people say?

When the chiefs heard the words, they were stunned for a while, and then discussed in a low voice, and then they shouted, their expressions seemed to be a little frightened.

such a big opinion?

Taichang couldn't help looking at Zhao Baiyun, who was in charge of the translation, with a puzzled face.

Zhao Baiyun listened carefully for a while, then frowned and pondered for a while, and then explained: "They said that some places are too dangerous to cut down trees. If they go there, many people will die."

uh, dangerous?

It's not that people have opinions for a long time, but they are afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties if they enter dangerous places.

Taichang couldn't help but said dumbly: "Ask them, what kind of danger is it?"

He really couldn't imagine that there was anything in this jungle that could cause heavy casualties to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Just kidding, the army of more than [-] is not a vegetarian, even the beasts everywhere in the jungle can't hold the guns and artillery.

Besides, they use machines to cut down trees, not people.

What can bite the steel plate?

After Zhao Baiyun heard the words, he thought about it again, and then he appointed a chief whose speech was the easiest to understand, and asked him to stand up and describe the dangers.

Hearing this, the chief immediately stood up, dancing and gesticulating.

What he said at the beginning should be beasts, such as leopards or something.

Sure enough, Zhao Baiyun shook his head again and again, said a few words to others, and then explained: "Your Majesty, he said that there are several places in the jungle where there are ferocious beasts. We shouldn't be afraid of this, right?"

This is nothing, no matter how ferocious the beast is, it is just a cloud in front of the soldiers of the Ming army.

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, this is nothing, you let him continue talking."

Then the chief gestured like a crocodile in the water, which was fine.

Taichang still asked Zhao Baiyun to signal him to continue.

Then the chief gestured like piles of poisonous snakes. This is a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem.

Taichang still nodded slightly, and asked Zhao Baiyun to signal him to continue.

The next thing the chief gestured seemed to be a twisting thing.

What is he talking about, a boa constrictor?

It doesn't seem to be the case. Not only have they seen pythons, but they have also eaten them. It shouldn't be a long time before they can't figure out what it is.

Seeing that Zhao Baiyun was still in a daze after listening for a long time, Taichang simply asked, "What did he say?"

Hearing this, Zhao Baiyun quickly explained: "He said that this thing is also in the water. It looks a bit like a snake and has sharp teeth. It hurts to bite people. If you can't scratch it, you will die if you scratch it."

What is this?

Still can't catch?

Taichang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Ask him, why would he die if caught, and how to die?"

When Zhao Baiyun asked, the chief immediately performed a gesture of grabbing something, then fell straight on the ground, and stopped moving after a few pumps.

Taichang instantly understood that what this guy was talking about was an electric eel!

The electric eel is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. It is really untouchable, and it will shock you hard if you touch it.

It is said that electric eels can emit thousands of volts of high voltage, and humans cannot stand such a high voltage.

If this thing is not in the water, it is better to say, just wear a rubber glove to grab it.

The problem is, this thing is in water, and water is conductive, so wearing rubber gloves is useless.

Moreover, this thing has sharp teeth, so the net bag probably won't be able to carry it. Perhaps, a barbed wire bag with a wooden handle will do.

This has to be tried to know.

Taichang thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "I see, you can ask him if there is anything else."

Zhao Baiyun asked, and the chief made gestures again.

This time Zhao Baiyun understood right away, and she quickly explained: "Your Majesty, he said that there are fish with fangs in the water, and these fish eat meat, and they come in groups. It will soon be eaten to the bone."

This is the piranha. It is indeed a bit difficult to deal with a large number of these things, and they may not be able to clean their nets.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then motioned for him to continue.

This time what the chief said seemed to be something very scary.

Hearing this, Zhao Baiyun's expression changed with fright, and he carefully explained: "He said that there is also a very small fish that can burrow into people's bodies and hurt people to death."

Uh, and this kind of fish!
This is really difficult to deal with, Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then nodded slightly and said: "I see, you can ask him if there is anything else."

Zhao Baiyun asked again, the chief consulted the opinions of other chiefs, and then shook his head, indicating that it was gone.

Seeing this, Taichang solemnly said: "Okay, let them roughly describe the location of these things he said to the map, and then go back to prepare, and I will send people to pick up everyone in their tribe in a few days. "
