Chapter 1037 East of the World
At the foot of the cold and windy mountain, in a simple earthen house, Boluo, Nikan, Yue Le, Wu Keshan, Zhang Cunren, Zu Zerun, and a North Korean named Kim Jong-hee gathered together.

In the room, people from the Mongolian, Han, and Korean ethnic groups gathered together. Now that they have come to this strange land, they have become people on the same boat. Everyone realizes that they should unite together.

At this time, although Fulin was said to be the emperor, he actually had no power at all, and Boluo had to deal with the Han and Koreans again.

Because in the previous battles with the Raksha people, the people who died were mainly Manchus and Mongols. The Han and Koreans who helped the Manchus fish, log, and build houses had fewer casualties. In the process of crossing the ocean, some Most of the ships manned by the Manchus sank to the bottom of the sea or were separated from the fleet. As a result, the Manchus accounted for less than [-]% of the people who went ashore, the Mongols accounted for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% were Han Chinese and Koreans. .

In order to unite the people and avoid civil strife, and when they come to a strange place, they, outsiders, must unite together, so Boluo and other Manchurians had to change the past ethnic policy and regard the four ethnic groups as a whole. Set up a seven-member meeting to jointly decide major issues.

Of course, although the total population of Manchus only accounted for [-]%, they still had an absolute advantage in the discussions.

At this time, the seven people gathered together, and a fire was lit in the middle, and several corn cobs and sweet potatoes were roasted on it.

Boluo seemed to replace Fulin as the leader. He said, "Have all the personnel and supplies been counted?"

Apart from fighting, the Manchus can only rely on the Han and Koreans in other aspects. Zhang Cunren nodded, "The inventory is out! There are still [-] large ships left, with [-] people, mainly young and strong, with basic supplies. There is nothing left, but in this tribe, there is a lot of food, enough for us to survive the winter."

There were only more than 2000 people left, which made everyone sigh and feel the severity of the situation.

Wu Keshan said, "Prince Ruizhong, where is this place?"

Everyone looked at Boluo in unison, Boluo frowned, and said, "I don't know about that, what is certain is that this continent is in the east outside the pass, far away from the world, and it is very large."

Boluo found the chief and asked many questions, wanting to know their location, but the two sides did not understand each other, so they could only draw strokes, so Boluo could not get much information.

Zu Zerun said: "In the early years, Li Zhizao, a servant of the Ming Dynasty, presented to Emperor Wanli a map of Kunyu Wanguo. In the east of the world, there is a large land on the map." corn on the cob, "In addition to the corn grown in Wei State, it is said that it came from this continent. Could it be that we have arrived there."

Zu Zerun is the son of Zu Dashou, and he is quite knowledgeable.

Everyone heard the words, looked at the corn cobs and sweet potatoes, and was a little startled.It turned out that Gao Yihuan's corn and sweet potatoes came from here.

Nikan was startled, "Wouldn't the Wei thief be able to come too!"

Zu Zerun was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "Probably not, this place is far from Taiyuan in the Central Plains, and no one from the Central Plains has ever been here."

Nikan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's great!"

Boluo seemed to be interested, "What is the name of this continent and how big is it?"

"I don't know what it's called, but it's said to be very big, not smaller than the Ming Dynasty." Zu Zerun said.

Boluo fell into deep thought, and after a while a smile appeared on his face, "It's as big as the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know its name, so let's call it Dongzhou."

"Dongzhou!" Everyone discussed for a while. The name of Dongzhou gave them a sense of security in the east of the world, as if it was not far from the Central Plains.

At this moment, Bo Luo suddenly said, "I wonder if you have discovered a problem?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Nikan said, "What's the problem?"

Boluo said mysteriously: "The tribes here are even more backward than the savages in the north when we were outside the customs. In the whole tribe, there is no iron, but a kind of black stone, and there are no horses, not even wheels. "

After he said this, everyone realized that it seemed to be the case.

Nikan didn't understand what Boluo meant, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Boluo lifted his spirits, "Such a backward tribe can survive, which means that there are no powerful forces around, or other forces are at a level similar to this tribe. What does this mean to us?"

"Opportunity!" Yue Le's eyes lit up, and he learned to answer quickly.

The various ethnic groups in northern China are influenced by nomadic culture. For thousands of years, the strong preyed on the weak and the annexation of tribes made the Manchus from the Northeast think that the weak should be conquered.

A piece of land larger than the Ming Dynasty, and the people living on it are very weak, this is simply the land given to them by God.

The American continent is suitable for human survival and farming, unlike the tropical grasslands of Africa, and the people living here have extremely backward metal smelting technology, no farm tools to cultivate the land, and they are completely from the Stone Age, which undoubtedly gives opportunities to outsiders.

The environment in the Americas is closed, lack of communication, coupled with the vast land and abundant resources, you can eat by relying on the sky, life is too comfortable, there is no large-scale invasion, you can just plant and manage things to survive, and lack the motivation for development, resulting in the slow development of civilization .

This allowed Boluo and others to see an opportunity, but they did not know that with the landing of Western colonists in America, the Indians in North America are far stronger than the natives in South America, and their weapons will soon change from stone tools to iron tools. And the evolution of firearms, and the acquisition of war horses, have repeatedly dealt major blows to Westerners.

Boluo nodded with excitement in his eyes, "Yes, this is indeed an opportunity for us."

As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Cunren, Zu Zerun, and Jin Zhengxi, "Now, let's clarify the division of labor. Zhang Cunren, you select craftsmen from among the Han people and search nearby to see if there is any iron ore, and prepare to smelt iron tools. "

Zhang Cunren clasped his fists, "Don't worry, the King, we have craftsmen who can smelt and make weapons and armor! As long as we find ore and coal, we can start working immediately. By then, we will all be in armor, and it will not be a problem to sweep tens of thousands of natives."

Boluo nodded, "When looking for mines, you can ask those natives, maybe they know where there are mines, but they just don't know how to use them."

After finishing speaking, Bo Luo continued: "Zu Zerun, let people build houses and granaries to prepare for the winter, and organize manpower to reclaim the land and prepare for farming next year. Kim Jong-hee, repair the boat."

Several people took orders one after another, Wu Keshan said: "Then what should I do?"

Boluo smiled and said, "Mongolians are best at herding horses. I will leave the 50 or so horses to you."

Wu Keshan nodded, "Those natives don't seem to have seen horses before. These horses will be our sharp weapons, and I will let people take good care of them."

Bo Luo nodded, then looked at Nikan and Yue Le, stood up and said: "We will check around the tribe to see if there are other native tribes, and get some women from them, so that everyone can resettle and settle down. Come down, and at the same time subject these tribes to us."
