Bang!
Another punch.

These punches did not have much effect on the tiger. It twisted its body hard in an attempt to throw Zhu Kai away, and its tail also swung towards Zhu Kai.

Bang!
Zhu Kai was swung by the tiger's tail. When the tiger wanted to attack Zhu Kai with its tail again, Zhu Kai grabbed it with one hand: "You beast, you still want to resist me after seeing me?"

He stood up from the tiger, grabbed the tiger's tail and swung it hard: "Die for me!"

The huge tiger was thrown away by Zhu Kai.

Zhang Fengnian, who had been trying to protect Zhu Kai from behind, widened his eyes when he saw Zhu Kai's actions.

Zhu Kai, is he not a human?
With just this one swing, the tiger was thrown away... This tiger looked like it weighed more than a thousand pounds. Was Zhu Kai's arm strength so great?

Click!

The tiger smashed into a tree as thick as a thigh, breaking the trunk directly.

The tiger's bones were also broken.

He was lying on the ground with blood coming out of all his orifices, and he was breathing in more than out.

"Haha, you beast! Can't I subdue you?"

Zhu Kai stepped forward and broke the tiger's neck in one move, then called out to the soldiers behind him: "Take my prey away, find a good master to skin it, and remember, there can't be any external injuries, I still want to sell it for a good price."

"Yes!"

There were stars in the eyes of the soldiers as they looked at Zhu Kai. They knew that Zhu Kai was brave and had seen him fight against a hundred people alone on the battlefield. But what Zhu Kai was facing now was the king of beasts, the king of the jungle. He could actually suppress the tiger so that it couldn't fight back, pinch the tiger's neck, ride on the tiger... and even kill the tiger with just a few punches.

This fighting power makes people feel scared when they see it. Who wouldn’t be afraid when seeing a tiger?
Zhu Kai, awesome!
However, Zhu Kai was not satisfied after killing a tiger. He became unhappy when he saw Zhang Qingyun and Zhang Fengnian cutting the tiger with knives.

Zhu Kai knew very well the price of a complete, undamaged tiger skin and the price of a tiger skin with cuts all over.

"Let go of the tiger, let me do it!"

Zhu Kai was furious. "You spendthrift, don't you know how valuable tiger skin is? Stop cutting it, let me beat him to death with my fists!"

"..."

Zhang Qingyun and others were very helpless... Zhu Kai was just that kind of person, and he was easily attracted by money.

Zhu Kai came out of the deep forest and brought out five tigers, three wild boars, a blind bear, a leopard, a python, a deer... Zhu Kai's first trip to the forest was very rewarding!

The only regret was that Zhu Kai did not find ginseng or other rare treasures, which made Zhu Kai a little disappointed.

Ginseng would be better...how about using some white radishes from a super ocean freighter as a substitute?
Ahem... forget it.

Zhu Kai immediately filtered this idea out of his mind. Doing so would be cheating others, so forget it.

Zhu Kai brought out five tigers from the deep mountains and forests. Three of them were killed, and there were two cubs whose eyes were not even open. They were held in his arms like kittens. Zhu Kai was very happy when he saw them, and said that he wanted to raise two tigers to liven up the fun. Zhang Fengnian wanted to persuade him, saying that the tigers were too wild and might easily hurt their masters, but seeing that Zhu Kai was in high spirits, he did not say it.

Let’s talk about it after Zhu Kai gets tired of it.

……

Zhu Kai came out from the deep mountains and forests. Everyone was excited when they saw the tiger skin that Zhu Kai took out.

Tiger skin, this is a big one.

There are many wild beasts in these deep mountains and old forests. If these merchants are willing, they can catch them, but when they think about their own strength and Zhu Kai’s strength... forget it.

If we form a tiger hunting team to hunt tigers, it's fine if we catch them, but if people die in the process, then the loss outweighs the gain. The money we get from selling the tiger skin may not even be as much as the money we spend.

It would be better for them to go directly to Zhu Kai to buy it. Their money is all kept in Zhu Kai's bank, so there is no need to worry about who is cheating whom.

In the following period of time, Zhu Kai was immersed in hunting. He often hunted tigers and leopards, and pheasants and birds were no problem. Several times, Zhu Kai even came across ginseng in the mountains. Looking at the ginseng that was thicker than his arm, Zhu Kai became more determined to build Liaodong well.

Liaodong is full of treasures.

As Zhu Kai gradually went deeper into the deep mountains and forests of Liaodong, many tribes that relied on the mountains and the sea for their livelihood gradually appeared in Zhu Kai's sight. They had no contact with the outside world and lived on hunting. They didn't even know what year it was or which dynasty it was.

Zhu Kai was helpless in the face of these savages who knew nothing. He couldn't let these people hide in the mountains forever. The Ming Dynasty needed people to build it right now. How could you continue to stay in the mountains?

Come with me to build the Ming Dynasty.

I do not want to go out?

no problem!
Zhu Kai drew the knife from his waist, and when the people from the tribe saw it, they all chose to surrender.

The place where Zhu Kai is now was called the Liaodong Haixi Road Tixing Anchasi during the Yuan Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty had not yet included it in its administrative plan, but only had a general name for it, Liaodong.

It’s not that the Ming Dynasty doesn’t want to intervene, but there are not so many people to be sent to Liaodong. There are still many gaps in the number of officials in the counties and provinces within the Central Plains, not to mention sending more people to Liaodong and the grassland.

Zhu Kai was familiar with this place. Five hundred years later, this place will be the Songhua River.

It's too remote, and no one is willing to come here except the indigenous people who have always lived here.

The indigenous people living here are referred to by the combination of place name and tribe, collectively known as: Haixi Jurchen. When Zhu Kai met the leader of the Haixi Jurchen tribe, he heard that there were the Heishui Jurchens further north. The Jurchens there lived an even more miserable life, without even using fire, and ate raw meat.

Eat it raw!
After hearing this, Zhu Kai felt incredible. They didn't even use fire. What's the difference between them and savages?

There really are savages in love.

Zhu Kai had never expected that he would actually meet people from the Haixi Jurchens here. On the Internet in later generations, some people highly praised the Haixi Jurchens, saying how strong their fighting ability was... In fact, it was not that the Haixi Jurchens were strong. It was that they lived in such a cold and deserted place, competing with wild beasts for living space all day long. As long as they could survive in such a place, it would be unjustifiable if they did not have strong fighting ability.

According to the chief of the Haixi Jurchens, they had never left this area after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty. The people of the Yuan Dynasty did not care about them and left them to fend for themselves. As for the Jurchens who were exterminated by Zhu Kai, they had nothing to do with them.

Zhu Kai knew that these Haixi Jurchens migrated south from various Haixi tribes in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, forming four tribes: Ula, Hada, Huifa, and Yehe. They were later unified by Nurhaci and became one of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Nurhaci's ancestors had been killed by Zhu Kai, and the remnants of the Liaodong tribes were gradually assimilated by the Ming Dynasty. From now on, there will be no other tribes in Liaodong, only a unified name: Han people!

From now on, there will be no more Jianzhou Jurchens. When the guide led Zhu Kai and his party to the bank of the Songhua River, the people living there thought that the Mongol "angel" (the messenger of the emperor) had come again, and they quickly knelt down to greet them.

They have had no contact with the outside world at all, and until now they still believe that the world belongs to the Mongols.

Zhu Kai asked curiously, "Has no one told them that the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty have perished?"

"No."

The guide shook his head and explained to Zhu Kai: "If you hadn't come here, I might have forgotten that there is a tribe called Haixi Jurchen here."

There were many tribes within the Haixi Jurchens, but when the outside world referred to them, they simply added the place name in front of their ethnic group to form a general term.

Who would come to this corner for no reason?
The place where the Haixi Jurchens lived was separated from Liaodong by a large forest. Even if there were roads, they were basically deserted and they would not come here unless there was something important.

Even during the Mongols' Yuan Dynasty, when they ruled the Haixi Jurchens, they would only come to this place to read out the imperial edict every eight or ten years.

"...No wonder they are so fierce. Who wouldn't be confused if they met a tribe that knows nothing?"

Zhu Kai whispered to himself, and soon the leader of the Haixi Jurchen tribe appeared in front of Zhu Kai with a group of tribal leaders. They had disheveled hair and black faces. If you didn't know them, you would think they were African chieftains.

Fortunately, the leader of the tribe can speak Chinese, which is said to be the language passed down by their ancestors.

The leader of the Haixi Jurchen tribe was called Kulexu, a Jurchen tribal leader without a surname.

When Kulexu heard that the Mongols had collapsed and that the dynasty established by the Han people once again occupied the Central Plains, Kulexu excitedly knelt down in front of him and said that Zhu Kai was their god.

When Wanyan Aguda established the Great Jin Dynasty, the Haixi Jurchens were indeed involved. But later they offended Wanyan Aguda's family. In order to avoid rebellion, they fled directly back to Haixi and have lived here ever since.

When Zhu Kai heard that their first contact with the outside world was when Dajin was just established, he was convinced.

He has been hiding for more than a hundred years without any contact with the outside world. If it were Zhu Kai, he would go crazy!

The Haixi Jurchens made a living by hunting and had little contact with the outside world. Such a blank-sheet tribe, combined with the blank-sheet Liaodong... was not a problem.

However, before becoming a Ming citizen, Zhu Kai had to test their quality first.

Looking at Kulexu, Zhu Kai said, "I see that your tribe has many warriors. I have rarely encountered rivals in the Ming Dynasty. Call the bravest man in your tribe to fight with me."

Kulexu could speak Chinese, but he didn't know the etiquette. When he heard that Zhu Kai wanted to fight with someone from his tribe, he immediately nodded in agreement.

In the Jurchen tribe, strength is the highest etiquette. If Zhu Kai can beat all the capable people in their tribe, Kulexu will not be angry but will be happier. They will think that the current Ming Dynasty is a powerful dynasty and they will follow it wholeheartedly.

Soon, more than a dozen very dark and strong men came in. They were wearing animal skins, with their arms exposed and their muscles bulging, looking very ferocious.

Although they were smaller than Zhu Kai, they outnumbered him. Zhu Kai's eyes lit up when he saw them. He immediately tore off his clothes, strode into the middle of the crowd, and waved to a sturdy man with an animal bone hanging around his neck: "Let's fight!"

The sturdy man also stepped forward, opened his hands, and looked at Zhu Kai with a fierce look.

Zhu Kai understood that they were going to wrestle.

Zhu Kai has never fallen down before, but has he ever seen a pig run even though he has never eaten pork?

It all depends on who has a more stable lower body and who has more strength!

Skill?
Zhu Kai also has it.

Soon, neither of them gave in and rushed towards each other. The moment the other approached Zhu Kai, he bent down and lowered his lower body, hugged Zhu Kai's waist with both hands and prepared to throw him. Zhu Kai used his legs to force the ground with his toes, grabbed the animal skin on the other's back with both hands, and growled: "Get up!"

Then, Zhu Kai grabbed the fat man and threw him backwards, knocking him to the ground.

Solved one!
Zhu Kai felt unsatisfied, so he continued to hook his hand forward: "Keep going!"

This is a pure battle of strength. No skills are required. Whoever has greater strength is the stronger one.

Fall down one, try again!

Then change another batch!
More than a dozen strong men were warriors from the Haixi Jurchen tribe selected by Kulexu. Unexpectedly, they were completely defeated by Zhu Kai. Each of them was beaten by Zhu Kai twice.

“Huh…so cool!”

Zhu Kai knocked over a dozen strong men to the ground, sweating profusely. The exhilaration after the wrestling made Zhu Kai smile. He pointed at Kulexu and said, "You are qualified to become citizens of the Ming Dynasty."

"Ok?"

Kulexu didn't understand what Zhu Kai meant and stood there in a daze.

Zhu Kai asked again: "Walk out of here and be included in the Ming nationality. Are you willing?"

Zhu Kai proposed to Kulexu the idea of ​​letting them become naturalized citizens of the Ming Dynasty. The leader of the Haixi Jurchens looked at Zhu Kai as if he were a monster and said, "How can we, the lowly people, become Han people?"

"why not?"

Zhu Kai looked at Kulexu and said to him: "As long as you are willing, we will give you a chance, but don't think about betraying the Ming Dynasty after becoming a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will never show mercy to traitors."

"If my people and I become subjects of the Ming Dynasty, who would be willing to betray us?"

Kulexu was still excited. He said to Zhu Kai, put the four fingers of his right hand together and put his thumb on the palm of his hand: "If my people betray the Ming Dynasty, I will let all my people hunt down the traitor and the traitor's family together."

Becoming a Ming citizen made them more excited than being rewarded with a piece of land.

Seeing that Zhu Kai was really going to make them citizens of the Ming Dynasty, Kulexu immediately informed his people of the news in the tribal language. His people immediately became excited and began to sing and dance.

Later, Kulexu told Zhu Kai that although his people had never been to the Central Plains, they all knew that it was a very prosperous place and the people there lived a life of luxury. Therefore, every member of the Haixi Jurchen tribe hoped to become a Central Plains person, but generation after generation died with their hopes unfulfilled.

Now, they have met Zhu Kai and their dream has finally come true.

After singing and dancing, they all knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves to express their gratitude and admiration for Zhu Kai.

One man defeated the most capable member of the Haixi Jurchen tribe and remained unharmed, and then gave them the opportunity to become people of the Central Plains. Zhu Kai was their god... Oh, no, he was more useful than their gods!

Kulexu lay down in front of Zhu Kai, crawled on the ground and wiped Zhu Kai's shoes clean with his hands, then raised his head and said to Zhu Kai devoutly: "Your Highness, please accept your servant." (End of this chapter)
