The soldier was bold.
He stepped forward, handed the gun to his companion, took off his short sword and gave it to his companion, and then slowly took a few steps forward.
The negroes watched him come alone, and stared at him closely.
The soldier walked up to the black man, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the Ming army behind him and said: "Da Ming."
He said it several times.
He picked up a small branch from the side, then drew a simple boat shape on the ground, and said: "Ship."
After saying a few words, he used the branch to make a cut on the side of the boat, and then said: "Ship."
Broken, the ship is broken.”
In fact, the black people naturally couldn't understand the meaning of what he said, but they could still understand his gestures and graphics.
So the soldiers and they began to draw and tell a story about a ship that was sabotaged and forced to go ashore.
Zheng Zha was not in a hurry and let the Ming army rest on the spot.
After almost an hour, the soldier finally explained the tragic experience of the group clearly, and the black people also seemed to understand.
A man who looked like a leader took out a bag made of tree bark and took out some unidentified food for the soldiers to eat.
Another black man took out a conch and handed it to the soldiers, making a gesture of drinking.
The soldier put the food into his mouth with a smile on his face, as if it was delicious.
He picked up the conch and drank the water inside, nodding in praise.
The leader was overjoyed and asked the black men to bring more food to the Ming army.
Seeing that the soldier was okay after eating, Zheng Zha let some soldiers eat first and gave some dry food to the black leader.
The dry food of the Ming army was fried rice noodles with butter, carrot powder, potato powder, and salt added to it.
It tasted very good.
The black people had never eaten such delicious food.
Everyone was very happy to eat, and while eating, they glanced at the dry food bags of the Ming army.
Zheng Zha said to the soldier: "Wang Wen did a good job, keep up the hard work and let them take us to where they live."
Wang Wendao: "No problem.
We will slowly understand what they mean by comparing it with them.
What he gave us should be a kind of meat.
It tastes pretty good.
General, would you like to try it?"
Zheng Zha shook his head and said: "Only 30% of people can eat it first.
Before you know what it is, be careful."
At this time, several figures walked over in the grass nearby.
Zheng Zha thought they were humans at first, but found out that they were beasts that were taller than humans.
The black people started making noises, some pointed spears at the beasts, and some threw the trefoil-shaped weapons in their hands.
The weapons flew through the air, touched the beasts, and flew back.
Black hands.
Zheng Zha said with some interest: "This thing is interesting."
The soldiers had already picked up the firecrackers and pointed them at the beast.
The commander gave an order, the sound of firecrackers sounded, and the beasts fell to the ground.
When the sound of firecrackers sounded, the black people were startled.
When they saw the beast falling to the ground, the black people knelt down and kowtowed to the Ming army.
They were frightened by the sound and power of the firecrackers and thought it was the God of Thunder.
Now that he has established his authority, it will be much easier to communicate with black people later.
The black people took the initiative to clean up the beasts.
Zheng Zha looked at the beasts carefully and said: "Sure enough, there are bags in front of them.
This is the kangaroo that His Majesty the Emperor said.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
His Majesty is thousands of miles away, but he can know this place."
This thing is really a blessing to my Ming Dynasty.”
Wang Wendao: "Why don't some of them have bags?"
Zheng Zha scolded: "His Majesty's letter said that this is a pouch.
Do you, a man, go to raise children?
Go and compare with them.
Let's go and see where they live."
Without Wang Wen's need to speak, the black men stepped forward and invited the Ming army to their camp.
Their station is not far from here.
There are some small, crooked sheds.
The insides are very simple, with some stone objects on display.
Some strips of meat are drying outside the sheds.
They look somewhat similar to the kangaroos killed this time. .
The black people did not farm, but lived by hunting and occasionally collecting wild vegetables for food.
Zheng Zha looked at the endless deserted land and knew in his heart that this was the right place.
Zheng Zha asked people to get the others off the boat, leaving only a group of soldiers guarding the boat.
After the immigrants disembarked from the ship, they quickly started building houses on the seaside.
Not far from the building point was a large piece of land that looked very fertile.
The old farmers among the immigrants thought that now was a good time to sow seeds.
After burning the land with fire, everyone planted the wheat and potatoes they brought.
The number of immigrants this time was small, with a total of only 200 households and more than 800 people.
When the Ming army and the immigrants were building houses, the black people stood and watched.
Wang Wen led a few alert soldiers to make gestures with the black people, striving to allow both sides to have simple communication.
After Zheng Zha built his army at the seaside, he left behind 500 soldiers and enough food for a year.
He found that there were a lot of kangaroos here.
If they just killed the kangaroos and ate them, the Ming army and the immigrants would actually have enough food.
This was probably one of the reasons why the local black people did not farm, because there was no shortage of food.
It's just that Ming people are not used to eating meat.
Besides, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that every time we occupy a land, we must ensure that the food here must be at least self-sufficient.
It is best to have excess food that can be stored, so this food and so on Of course it must be planted well.
The immigrants were also given some vegetable seeds and scattered them into the soil.
However, they did not bring any poultry or livestock this time, so such a large pasture was wasted.
After Zheng Zha returned to the capital and reported the situation here to the emperor, Zhu Youxiao ordered that chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, etc. be transported to Xinmingzhou, but he ordered that rabbits must not be brought into Xinmingzhou.
Zheng Zha was also asked to send people to Japan to purchase some cattle and horses and bring them to Xinmingzhou.
At the same time, a group of Wu Youxing's students were also brought here to treat immigrants bitten by poisonous snakes.
Although they didn't understand why rabbits were not allowed to enter Xinmingzhou, everyone strictly followed the emperor's instructions.
At this time, the Immigration Guidance Bureau also recruited more than 3,000 immigrants to live in Xinmingzhou.
When Zheng Zha returned here half a year later, the grain harvest had already been harvested.
This season's food is enough to feed the original immigrants and the army for more than two years.
The immigrants' houses have also been repaired.
Wang Wen and others have basically understood the language of the black people and can communicate simply with them.
With the addition of new immigrants, more houses were quickly built here, and Zheng Zha gathered immigrants during the slack period, made simple repairs to the landing site, sorted out the appearance of a dock, and built a military city , equipped with artillery, could control this landing point named Nanquan by the emperor
