Chapter 212 Who of you stay?(1/4)
(Thanks to boss Ivanyu for his reward, congratulations to boss Ivanyu for being one of the fan list.)
After looking at the peanuts in Zhu Gaochi's hand, Fang Shiyu was immediately overjoyed. Although the Ming Dynasty now had the three magical items of sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes he presented, peanuts are still rare crops for the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with the other three major crops, the planting of this thing is much simpler, and the land requirements are not that high, but rather more suitable for storage.
"Not bad! I actually found it!"
Zhu Gaochi smiled proudly and said, "Master, I not only found this thing for you, but also brought you something more important."
Fang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, looked up at the surroundings, and saw nothing else except this peanut!
The next second, Zhu Gaochi waved outside, and then he saw only a man wearing Ming army's soft armor slowly walking in.
"Who is this?"
Fang Shiyu looked question-marked.
"Master, this is amazing. He is the owner of the thing you are looking for. He has planted crops locally for decades and is the person who is the best at raising crops here."
"I think we can't leave for a while anyway? I simply brought him over and asked him to find a few pieces of land near our military camp, cultivate all the crops that our Ming Dynasty did not have, and then give us some seeds."
"When we return to the Ming Dynasty, we will have seeds to bring back."
Zhu Gaochi introduced himself while looking at the other people proudly.
It's almost like it's written on your face, you haven't seen it before? Have you never eaten it? I've tried it just now, this thing is delicious!
In fact, in order to bring back some crop seeds that the Ming Dynasty did not have, Fang Shiyu was prepared and brought many talents who were good at farming from the Ming Dynasty. However, these people had never seen these crops at all, so it took a long time to learn.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi's little head was quite flexible. He directly found a local expert. With this expert's life, the speed was naturally much faster!
It was more than a month since they landed. The military camp was basically completed. The river basin that was suitable for living was also found, and peanuts were also found. There were more and more Indians gathered nearby.
After all, these Indians still lived a life of slashing and fire. They spread to ten and ten to hundreds of people. They learned that there was not only food here, but also a lot of things they had never seen before. As long as you are willing to work, you can get it, so you gather more and more.
These things are undoubtedly extremely tempting for these Indian natives.
Fang Shiyu expressed his high recognition of Zhu Gaochi's self-decision and immediately asked Zhu Gaochi to be responsible, selecting land suitable for planting near the military camp and starting to cultivate seeds.
No wonder Zhu Laosi wanted to pass the throne to Zhu Gaochi, not Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaochi is indeed a talent!
However, although Zhu Gaochi was praised, hesitated.
"Little fat man, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're constipated?"
Fang Shiyu couldn't help but become curious.
"Master, we have very little food and salary left. Do I think we should send some soldiers out to hunt?"
Zhu Gaochi sighed and couldn't help but suggest.
Fang Shiyu was stunned for a moment. This suggestion was very consistent with the current situation. Hunting and filling his stomach is always a good choice.
But Fang Shiyu thought about it, shook his head and rejected Zhu Gaochi's suggestion.
"Don't go out to hunt for the moment. Prepare more people first and plant local crops on a large scale."
"In addition, continue to send people to the base camp as the center, continue to search around, and increase efforts!"
"Except for the soldiers who are responsible for supervising the construction of the city, all the others will go to the water to catch fish. Didn't the fleet prepare a lot of fishing nets? Take them out and use them all!"
"When you go out to hunt, you will be surprised and frequently in the jungle. Don't take this move unless you have to!"
Fang Shiyu began to command while giving orders.
The wild game in the jungle is probably not even as good as the sea.
Therefore, hunting in the jungle requires not only the unknown dangers, but also the waste of ammunition. The fleet's gunpowder is limited, so it is less to use, and there is no way to replenish military supplies here. Therefore, the harvest of hunting is completely inconsistent with the effort.
It is obviously much more cost-effective to plant local crops on a large scale and temporarily go into the water to catch fish and satisfy hunger. Moreover, whether it is the Tamsui River in front of you or the sea not far away, fish are basically inexhaustible.
"Feng Cheng, I'm sending me an order that if it is not necessary, I won't use food and food for the time being, and use fish as the staple food."
Fang Shiyu continued to give orders.
"The last general will take the order, let's do it now!"
Feng Cheng bowed and took the order, turned around and walked outside.
"Sir, you won't know that these Indian natives are gathering here crazily at an unpredictable speed. If they are not controlled, we will sooner or later be dragged to death by these Indian natives!"
Zhu Quan immediately frowned and said.
"Brother Fifteen is right!"
Zhu Zhi nodded and agreed.
"Master, I think, should we think of a way to get some food from these natives and hold on first?"
Zhu Gaochi also frowned and made his own suggestions again.
"How much surplus food can these indigenous people have in their hands? How can they be enough to consume tens of thousands of troops? You can figure out how long it takes for this thing to take from planting to harvest locally, right?"
Fang Shiyu waved his hand and flatly rejected Zhu Gaochi's suggestion.
If you go to the Indian natives to get food, wouldn’t you become a bandit invader?
I finally managed to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and chopped off three Ming soldiers who bullied men and women. Wouldn't all my efforts be wasted?
Moreover, in Fang Shiyu's heart, although he knew that even in the 21st century, there was no accurate statement whether these Indians were survivors of the Shang Dynasty, but they were much more pleasing to those Kunlun slaves and white-skinned pigs.
What's more, even in later generations, they recognized that the Indians were not a nation. Indians were collectively known as all Native Americans except the Inuits (also known as the Eskimos), and did not refer to a certain ethnic group or race alone. Indians were distributed in countries in South America and North America. There were hundreds of languages they spoke.
Secondly, the blood relationship between Indians and the blood relationship between Chinese people in later generations has changed. Therefore, the so-called modern DNA technology proves that Indians have no relationship with Chinese people cannot explain any problem.
But Indians are yellow people, and they are in the same skin color as Chinese people and have similar appearances. Most Indians (including Eskimos) have the characteristics of yellow people: black and straight hair, yellow skin, shovel-shaped incisors, and cyan birthmarks on the buttocks of babies who are not possessed by white and black people.
Intuitively, many Indians are like Chinese.
From the blood relationship, scientists have also discovered evidence that Indians and Chinese belong to the same species.
In addition, Indian culture is similar or even similar to ancient Chinese culture: such as Lingtai culture, Qiudun culture, jade burial customs, and legends about Tiangou eating the moon, similar flood stories, common dragon culture and feather snake culture, common Tai Chi diagram and Taotie pattern and cloud thunder pattern, similar travel and ju game, same herbs and bone needle treatment methods, same seven-hole flute and musical pentagon scales, even folk remedies for drinking children's urine to keep their health and eating tadpoles to defeat fire.
Ancient Chinese characters have been found in American ruins many times, which are very similar to Chinese oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. Some characters are written exactly the same as Chinese oracle bone inscriptions.
These do not indicate that the Indians have a connection with the ancestors of the current Chinese.
Of course, the narrow statement of ancient Chinese people generally refers to tribes within the central scope of Henan, China, and in a broad sense, people on mainland China.
Chinese civilization and mainland China are two cultural concepts, with characters as the standard. Chinese civilization has a history of more than 3,000 words. It is about 5,000 years later. Previously, what ethnic groups in mainland China have lived in cannot be proved?
Based on various information, it can be confirmed that Indians are now a complex population, but in the early days, they were undoubtedly mainly yellow people who migrated through Asia.
Moreover, the migration of the Indians was not completed at one time. It may have been many migrations to the Americas through the still close Bering Strait tens of thousands of years ago.
However, in the future, the ethnic groups in mainland China migrated to the Americas many times, and the more famous one was the "Yin people crossed the Americas." The first to propose that the Yin people crossed the Americas was the British Medhurst. When he translated the classical Chinese document "Shangshu", he proposed that when King Wu of Zhou defeated King Zhou of Shang, the Yin people might have fled across the sea and encountered a storm on the way and was blown to the Americas.
Xu Huijin, a doctor in the United States, also proposed that after the failure of the "Three Prison Rebellion" by the son of King Zhou of Shang, Wu Geng (called Lu Fu in the Records of the Grand Historian), and other royal members fled to the American continent to reproduce and survive and leave cultural relics after the failure of the "Three Prison Rebellion".
(Please pay attention to the author's words, there are supplements to the relevant content. If you put it in the author's words, you can watch it for free.)
What is proof of this is the earliest American civilization discovered in Labenta on the east coast of Mexico. The mother of American civilization, the "Olmec civilization", is clearly marked by the Shang Dynasty, and it can also match the time.
In Chinese history, the incident of losing and fleeing across the sea is recorded in "The Great Biography of Shangshu: Tang's oath": "On the day of Jie, I heard that there are people overseas, and they all left with 500 people." That is, in the late Xia Dynasty, when Shang Tang defeated Jie of Xia, there was an incident of fleeing across the sea.
The Yin people were originally a navigable nation. The Book of Songs·Shang Song·Chang Hair says: "The land of Xiangdi is fierce and there is a severance overseas." The scope of their jurisdiction was originally extended to "overseas", and it was normal for them to escape across the sea after they were defeated.
Therefore, in Fang Shiyu's heart, he was even more willing to believe that these Indian natives were the survivors of the Shang Dynasty.
Zhu Quan couldn't help but sigh and said slowly: "What should I do now..."
"Concentrate manpower and divide labor reasonably. As long as you survive the New Year, everything will be solved."
Just as everyone was depressed and frowning, Zhu Ziyi suddenly walked over and spoke.
"At most, one month will be over, and the first month will be over. Now the food and salary in the army is only enough for two months, and the number of these Indian natives has approached 100,000."
"One hundred thousand Indian natives, plus tens of thousands of Ming soldiers, are accelerating the construction of cities, and the consumption of food and wages will only get faster and faster. Therefore, the best solution is to let the women among Indian natives participate."
"Men and women have their own duties. Women can build fishing nets, burn stone bricks, open mountains and log wood. Although they may not have the strength to move stones and wood, they still have the strength to lift an axe to cut trees. Besides, you haven't noticed that the physical fitness of the Indian native women here is much stronger than that of our Ming women?"
"Ten thousand soldiers can be divided into a large part of them, dozens of people in groups. Now our warships are in idle state, so we can completely let these people go to sea and fish on a large scale. It should not be a problem to survive the difficulties in front of us."
Zhu Ziyi said slowly.
"My master's wife is so smart! This is awesome! I admire her!"
"My master's wife is right, and my fifteenth brother is right!"
What a mess?
Fang Shiyu suddenly realized that something seemed wrong with this generation. Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi called him a gentleman. If he married Zhu Ziyi, they would have to call him a sister and a master's wife...
Fang Shiyu: "..."
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhu Ziyi seemed to be worried at this time, and she had no intention of caring about her two younger brothers' teasings.
Fang Shiyu frowned, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and asked curiously: "Little fat man, what's going on with you? He's always frowning?"
"Master, it's not my fault! I'm really worried! The Indian natives are still gathering towards our camp at an astonishing speed. Once there are too many people, I really can't guarantee whether there will be a riot!"
"Although we have firearms, armor, and elite soldiers, the number is only tens of thousands. Most of them have to be divided into fishing, and some people have to be divided into supervising the construction of the city! Once the number of Indian natives is multiples, we may not be any rivals..."
To be continued...
