Ming Zuo

Chapter 805 Explore
The vast and primitive Nuer Gandusi exudes majesty and magnificence all the time.

The beauty here is quite different.

Like the vast ocean, where the end is unknown, it attracts people who can't stop.

At the same time as the construction of the cement castle, the exploration of the Northward Legion also began.

Wei Yuanfeng is a person who can't sit still.

He and Zhang Keda led hundreds of soldiers and entered Heilongjiang in a boat against the current.

The sky that has not been polluted by civilization is blue and clear, the big river below exudes a dark and deep light, and the virgin forests on both sides are lush and green.

The tall wild bear walks leisurely on the shore, and even stops to look curiously at the big boats in the water.

Wild animals here are not afraid of the novelty.

Appreciating the magnificent scenery, Wei Yuanfeng felt relaxed and happy.

"This big river is comparable to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. It's a pity that the two sides of the river are desolate and there are not many people inhabited. They cannot be well developed and utilized."

"The river here is wide and the water flow is gentle. No matter how big the boat is, it can pass smoothly. Daming really has a treasure in his hand and doesn't know it. He wasted such a good land for nothing."

Zhang Keda used his binoculars to patrol back and forth, firmly engraving the terrain here in his mind.

From his point of view, such a big river has great strategic value.

However, although the Ming Dynasty fought here at the beginning, it was a pity that they finally abandoned it.

The fleet traveled upstream and traveled a long distance before finally seeing people.

A few women in animal skins were washing something by the river, when they suddenly saw a huge monster coming from the water, they ran away in fright.

Their whereabouts were naturally locked by the people on board.

Not to mention that there is smoke rising not far behind them, which proves that there are people gathering here.

"Let's go and have a look."

Wei Yuanfeng and his two brought more than a hundred soldiers to the shore in small boats.

Just as they landed, dozens of wild men with wooden spears and bows ran out from the dense forest.

Those savages didn't dare to approach, they stood a hundred meters away and kept screaming, not knowing what they were shouting.

"Lian Shanhai, what are they talking about?"

At this time, it is natural to turn to the natives for help.

However, Lian Shanhai blushed.

"I don't know what they're talking about."

Wei Yuanfeng's head was full of black lines.

"Aren't you a tribe?"

Lian Shanhai shook his head.

"Our tribe is only on the island, and we have nothing to do with these people."

Due to the vast territory and inconvenient transportation of the entire Nuergandusi, there is no communication between the various primitive tribes.

Although they are all officially called the Wildling Jurchen, they are actually not the same race at all.Whether it is language, customs, or living habits, they are not quite the same.

Seeing that those savages were very vigilant and might attack at any time, Wei Yuanfeng also had a headache.

They came here just to explore, not to plunder, so they didn't want to conflict with the aborigines here.

He thought about it and decided to give it a try.

"Bring an ax here."

"What are you going to do?"

Zhang Keda asked.

Wei Yuanfeng weighed the ax in his hand.

"See if you can trade with these people."

After speaking, he walked out of the formation alone, and got closer to those people, but he didn't dare to get too close.

When these savages hunt, they will smear poison on their arrows.

He also didn't want to die before leaving the teacher and throw his life in this kind of place.Otherwise, he would be laughed to death by his former colleagues.

Walking to a distance of about [-] to [-] meters from those savages, Wei Yuanfeng stood still and yelled at the opposite side.

The people on the other side saw someone coming forward from this side, they were all startled, but they also became quiet.

Wei Yuanfeng took the opportunity to raise the ax in his hand so that the people opposite could see clearly.Then he walked to a tree that was as thick as a thigh, and swung his ax to chop it down again and again.

In just a few strokes, a small tree was completely cut off by him and fell to the ground.

It is commonplace for the Northward Legion to respond, but the savages on the opposite side all became agitated.

Apparently they had never seen such a sharp tool.

After cutting the tree, Wei Yuanfeng pointed to the ax in his hand to those savages, and then threw it far away.

After doing this, he retreated back to his formation.

The ax landed some thirty paces ahead of the wildlings' formation.

There was silence for a while, and then a young savage stepped forward alone, carefully picked up the ax and brought it back.

I don't know what those savages discussed together, but it is obvious that through this communication, those savages seem to be less hostile.

This time, it was the turn of those savages to move.

Two people ran out, ran to the place between the two sides, put the things in their hands on the ground, and then pointed to the axe.

Apparently, they meant to exchange for more axes.

However, seeing the things they put on the ground, the eyes of the people here are all straight.

pearl!

Egg-sized pearls!
This is a priceless treasure.

But it was thrown on the sand randomly by those savages, like ordinary stones.

Zhang Ke couldn't laugh or cry.

"I don't know whether these savages are poor or rich?"

Wei Yuanfeng didn't know what to say.

But things were going well, and he didn't dare to delay.

There are too many things that can be exchanged for these two priceless pearls.

Although these savages should be satisfied as long as they give them two axes, Zuo Menggeng once specially instructed that dealing with these simple people must be fair and honest, so Wei Yuanfeng did not dare to cheat.

He hurriedly gathered together in his team, and finally gave out twenty axes.

For the part that is not enough, fifteen steel knives are attached.

Even so, everyone knew that the value of those two pearls was completely inferior.

But there is no way, there are only so many things they can come up with.You don't know what you will encounter later, and it is impossible to trade everything.

But even so, the Wildlings were all glad to get their finely forged axes and knives.

This time the person who came out was replaced by an old man.

Obviously, the status of the elderly is the highest in primitive tribes.

Here, Wei Yuanfeng walked over with Lian Shanhai.

The two sides initially abandoned the hostility and can communicate normally.

It was only when they had a face-to-face conversation that they discovered that although the language of Lian Shanhai and his tribe was different from that of the savages here, they also had similarities.

So the two sides talked and gestured, but there was no misunderstanding.

The old man also carefully took out a silver medal from his pocket and handed it to Wei Yuanfeng.

"This is handed down by our tribal ancestors. It is said that it was bestowed by the high officials of the Celestial Dynasty. As long as you see someone from the Celestial Dynasty, just take out this sign."

Wei Yuanfeng took the sign, and when he saw the words on it, he couldn't help being shocked.

Because the content above turned out to be written by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di himself.

[Qin bestows Gejihewei with loyalty and goodness from generation to generation, and protects the northern border forever. 】
