Shoshone?
Li Chengdong asked, "How many people are in this tribe?"
”Zhang Yida gritted his teeth and said: "I can't know how many people there are, but they are very widely distributed, and it is estimated that there are at least millions of people. ”Li Chengdong smiled: "Yes, it's him!"
”The Shoshonees, like many Indians, lived in small tribes and even families scattered through the mountains and forests of North America.As the white colonists encroached on the Americas, the living space of the Indians was compressed, and they gradually entered into fierce conflicts with the whites.The Comanche, the descendants of the Shoshone, acquired horses and evolved into a nomadic civilization in a very short period of time, which terrified the Spanish colonial authorities.Now, although these indigenous people are backward, if they are incorporated into the ruling order of the Han people, with the help of Chinese civilization, they can immediately end the tribal state and evolve into an advanced agricultural civilization.Li Chengdong did not let his subordinates go to the mountain city, but camped in the bay, because of the poor conditions, many dependents did not land and stayed in the cabin.After all, there are beds and toilets on board, and there is nothing on the shore.At this time, the results of last night's battle have been counted, a total of 300 people were killed, most of them were natives and black slaves, and more than 700 people were captured, most of them were natives.When Li Chengdong came over, he brought a lot of craftsmen, and he handed these people over to Zhang Huangyan for the time being, asking him to help choose a site and build a city.After Zhang Huangyan inspected the surrounding terrain, he chose to build a city by a large river in the distance, but considering that the city construction project was too large, Zhang Huangyan suggested that only the castle should be built to garrison the army, and the residential area and workshop should be built outside the castle, and then the city wall would be built to enclose it if there were financial and manpower resources in the future.At this time, Zhang Huangyan organized the people, and the captives repaired the city for Li Chengdong, and Li Chengdong gathered his subordinates.1,000 soldiers of the Penglai Kingdom, as well as 330 men of the Xincheng Domain who had changed their equipment, formed a coalition army of more than 1,300 people.After Li Chengdong and Zhang Yida discussed, the coalition army was divided into four divisions, each with 333 people.Li Chengdong left one division to stick to the camp, and the remaining three divisions marched in three directions: east, southeast, and south.Their location is in Vancouver Bay, which is too cold to the north and sparsely populated, and to the west is the sea, so they can only search for the indigenous tribes in three directions: east, southeast, and south.Because the soldiers of Penglai Kingdom were not familiar with the terrain and the situation in Dongzhou, the three divisions that set out to search were mixed with men from the Xincheng Domain.The local civilization is backward, and the productivity of the tribe is not enough to support thousands of people, and tens of thousands of people gather to live, so the various divisions are also scattered.The soldiers of Penglai Kingdom are all well-dressed plate armor, with iron helmets and ghost faces, up and down their bodies, only showing two eyes, holding muskets in their hands, grenades on their chests, and short axes, war knives, ropes, and water bottles hanging around their waists, and they are extremely well-equipped.This equipment, even Zhao Ming's guards, did not have equipment, and it was all given to Li Chengdong, which can be described as a conscience.The men of the New City Domain, after seizing the equipment of the Spaniards, also changed their shotguns, wore ill-fitting plate armor, held muskets, and were armed to the teeth.Li Chengdong immediately ordered the troops to be divided into three routes to explore.The two divisions were to lead three hundred men to the south and southeast, checking the traces of the Spaniards and conquering the tribes along the way.Li Chengdong and Nguyen Jin, together with another detachment, marched west to attack the lair of the Shoshone.Although the Shoshone people live in a scattered area, they have formed a social structure similar to a tribal alliance, and the entire Shoshone people are widely distributed, from the coast in the west to the Great Lakes in the east.With such a vast area, it was difficult for the Shoshone people to establish close relationships and a system of rule due to their level of civilization, so they were divided into twelve large surnames, which were distributed in different regions.The Shoshone near Vancouver are similarly scattered, but they share the same surname, and obey the orders of a tribe of more than 2,000 people at the western foot of the mountains.If Penglai wants to conquer the Shoshone people in the territory of the country and liberate them from the primitive society, it must first destroy their original chieftains and social system, so as not to let these chiefs, with the territorial people, refuse to embrace civilization.In March, a team of nearly 100 people, waving through the branches, shuttled through the jungle, they were dressed in iron armor, the bayonets on the muskets flashed coldly, and the cold air was overwhelming.At this time, Li Chengdong, Ruan Jin and others drilled out of the woods one after another, and the soldiers behind them slowly gathered.In front of them was a valley full of low mud huts, in which some corn and sweet potatoes were grown.Li Chengdong pestled the ground with a musket, looking at the indigenous tribe in front of him, his eyes were bright, shining with bright light, and his heart fluctuated.This scene, hundreds of years later, was included in a historical biography book of "When the Stars of the Ming Dynasty Shined" and became a classic scene.Li Chengdong and Ruan Jin, who had been walking through the jungle for a long time, waved their hands and walked towards the valley with a hundred soldiers."
Gurgling" came from a burst of local language, and a native warrior stepped forward to stop it."
Bang bang bang" muskets rang out, white smoke came out of the muzzles, and the native warriors fell to the ground on their backs."
Rush!"
At the moment of shooting, Li Chengdong and the others let out an angry roar, and a hundred soldiers raised their muskets and rushed towards the valley.In the valley, the indigenous tribes are performing bloody human sacrifices to pray for good weather and protection from the gods.The priest saw a group of alien soldiers and shot the soldiers who stood in their way to death, and the surrounding native women screamed loudly, and the crowd scattered in a hurry.At this time, the tribal chieftain, led hundreds of warriors, armed with bows and arrows and pikes, came to stop him.These warriors were valiant, but their weapons were rudimentary, and their arrows and spearheads were polished with obsidian to pierce the armor of the soldiers.In front of the natives, the soldiers of Penglai and Xincheng are like invulnerable.More than 1,000 Spanish people can defeat the more than 100,000 troops of the Aztec Empire, not that Spain is too strong, but the weapons of the Aztecs are really too poor.Li Chengdong led the soldiers, drew his weapons, and slowly met these lean and fierce, murderous locals."
Kill the outnumbered!"
Li Chengdong shouted.Muskets were fired, and the soldiers rushed into the natives, swords split, bayonets thrust, blood splattered, and in less than a quarter of an hour there were no natives standing in the valley.The tribe of 2,000 people, the chieftains and the priests were all hacked to death, and none of the rebellious warriors could stand, and the remaining natives crouched in the corners and shivered.In Vancouver Bay, Penglai City has begun to take shape, and the soldiers of various units have taken the prisoners back to the camp, and after a short rest, they set off again.Within a month, Vancouver Bay had more than 20,000 native captives, building cities, houses, and cultivating fields, and gradually becoming more and more manpowered.Li Chengdong returned to the camp and saw the castle rising from the ground, and his heart was very happy, on the one hand, he distributed the captured native women to the soldiers as concubines to calm the army's heart, and on the other hand, he asked Zhang Huangyan to build a fort to strengthen the defense of Vancouver Bay.While Lee was in Vancouver, Spain's defeated army had fled back to Mexico City.The Spanish governor was greatly humiliated by the defeat, and his grandfather had made a plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty with 20,000 men, but his 2,000 men did not capture even a small Chinese city.This result was unacceptable to the governor, and he was determined to regroup, mobilize more troops, and definitely eliminate the Chinese in the Americas.
