Lord Moyu was forced to open

When Zheng He led his large army to the Keshik tribe’s base, the scene before them left them speechless.

The crude stone city was empty and filled with all kinds of garbage left behind by those who left in a hurry.

The whole city was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and all the doors and windows were open. If it weren't for some stoves still warm, proving that people had lived here not long ago, Zheng He and others would have thought they had run into a ghost town.

The people of the Keshik tribe ran away, and they ran very quickly without any hesitation.

Zheng He chased after them as soon as he received the news, but if the Keshik tribe had any hesitation, then so many people in the Keshik tribe would not have been able to escape so cleanly.

But it was obvious that the chief of the Keshike tribe was very decisive, which made Zheng He and others fail.

"Sir! What should we do? They all ran away. Should we chase them? There are so many of them, so they shouldn't run that fast."

A general suggested.

Zheng He shook his head and said, "It's useless. We are not familiar with this place. If we pursue them rashly, we may encounter an ambush by the enemy. Although our weapons are better than others, it does not mean that they cannot kill us. There is no need to take such a risk.

Since they have already escaped, let's clean up the city first to prevent anyone from hiding inside, and then bring people from other nearby tribes here. The Keshik tribe is the largest tribe of the ancient Gubar people, and they must have the most corn fields. They can run away, but the fields can't. We can just take away all the property and corn they left behind."

"promise!"

The generals bowed in agreement and then dispersed to do their own things.

Zheng He, however, walked in this rough stone city with a small team of guards, with a look of surprise on his face.

Although this city is simple, for some reason it gives Zheng He a familiar feeling.

Whether it was the construction of the city, the layout within the city, or the shape of the buildings, he found that there were some similarities with the Song Dynasty.

This city gave him the feeling that...

After a moment's hesitation, Zheng He suddenly asked in surprise, "Why does this city look a bit like the old Yunzhou City?"

Zheng He was actually an old man from Yunzhou who had followed Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun was granted the title of Yunzhou County and went to the frontier, he was in the accompanying team.

When I first arrived in Yunzhou City, I wouldn’t say that the city looked exactly the same as here, but it was at least 70% to 80% similar!

But it took them half a year to get here by sailing from the Song Dynasty!
How could there be traces of the Song Dynasty here!

Or...

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around him, a crazy idea suddenly popped up in Zheng He's mind.

Could it be that these Indians migrated here from the Song Dynasty?
Otherwise how to explain their faces that are extremely similar to those of the Song Dynasty, the same skin color, and the Indian language that is somewhat similar to Mandarin? All these things made Zheng He start to doubt the origins of these Indians.

While Zheng He was silently guessing the origins of the Indians, the Song army had quickly searched the entire Keshik City and checked every corner of the city, confirming that there were no Indians hiding in the city.

After confirming the safety of Keshik City, Zheng Heshui immediately ordered to use Keshik as a transit station. From the next day, after the Song army attacked the surrounding areas, all supplies were temporarily sent back to Keshik City for storage, and then sent to the ship.

The next day, the Song army continued to spread out in all directions with Keshik City as the center.

The surrounding tribes that had originally hoped that Keshike could stop the Song army were attacked by the Song army and soon all fell, becoming serfs picking corn for the Song army.

Simple wheelbarrows loaded with countless corns came from all directions to Keshike City, and the people from other tribes who usually could not come to Keshike City felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden when they arrived in Keshike City for the first time.

The coming and going of people made the whole city of Keshik lively.

At this time, the people of the Keshike tribe had bypassed the Song army and came to the north and found the largest tribe in the north, the Kerke tribe.

The Kerk tribe was originally derived from the Keshik tribe. The two tribes had the same origin but had little contact with each other on weekdays. Now that the Keshik tribe had arrived in large numbers, the entire Kerk tribe's top brass was immediately alarmed.

Outside the headquarters of the Kerke tribe, the leader of the Kerke tribe, Black Bear, led more than a thousand warriors of the tribe and looked vigilantly at the people of Keshik who were coming across with all kinds of things as if they were moving house.

The chief of the Keshik tribe, Big Bear, was standing opposite him at the moment and said solemnly, "Black Bear, the survival of Gubar Island is now at stake. Foreigners from other places are constantly invading the tribes on it with their powerful military force. If we can't stop them, I'm afraid that the entire tribe on Gubar Island will be defeated by them in the end.

By then, we Indians will probably become slaves of others!"

In response to his statement, Black Bear smiled disdainfully and said:
"Since Gubar Island is facing a crisis, your Keshik tribe, as the largest tribe on the island, should drive out those invading foreigners!

What are you doing here in Kerke with your family?
Chief Big Bear, could it be that you were defeated by those outsiders and fled here in a panic?"

Big Bear had a gloomy face, took a deep breath and then said:

"Black Bear, the whole island is facing a crisis now. I hope you can put aside our past grudges and join forces with us to fight the enemy.

After all, we are from the same tribe, you..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the suddenly enraged black bear.

"Shut up! Who are we from the Keshike tribe?

This is the Kerk tribe! Not the Keshk city of your Keshk tribe!

Big Bear! If you came here today just to say this nonsense, then you can leave now!

As for resisting the outsiders? Haha, aren't you Keshike powerful? There are 7,000 warriors in the tribe, why don't you resist them yourself? You still want to drag us Keerke into the water, forget it!"

Big Bear's face darkened. Thirty years ago, the previous generation Black Bear lost the battle with his father for the position of chieftain, and left with some of his people to establish the Kirk tribe. Since then, the Kirk tribe has had no contact with Keshik.

Over the years, no matter how big the crisis was, Kirke never asked the Keshik tribe for help.

The younger generations on both sides have been hostile to each other since childhood.

It can be said that the situation is like water and fire.

However, their Keshik tribe has already left Keshik City. If they want to find a place to stay, the Kerk tribe is undoubtedly the best choice.

But now, the new Black Bear Chief is obviously still very resistant to them.

This made Big Bear's heart sink. He looked at his tribesmen behind him and gritted his teeth.

"Black Bear! Are you really so heartless?"

Black Bear sneered, "Haha, begging for mercy requires an attitude of begging. Big Bear, are you so used to being the high and mighty Chief Keshik that you don't even remember how those small tribes usually beg you?"

The big bear fell silent.

The other Keshiks also fell silent.

The Kirk people on the opposite side showed a mocking expression.
