Regardless of the fact that Luzon is just an island, but before the arrival of slave catchers in Taiwan, there was no unified force here. There were thousands of tribes, large and small. In the subsequent melee, countless tribes disappeared. These disappeared tribes either To be exterminated by others, or to be annexed by others.In this process, the secrets of the tribes were also covered up by history. In the end, although Li Yin's army unified Luzon, the situation in various parts of Luzon was too complicated, and there were too few Han officials on the island, so there were many There is no time to sort out the information, even some important information.

Feng Shijie is undoubtedly a very smart person. He took advantage of the fact that the "government" in Manila was not strong enough to collect information on tribes that might own minerals as quickly as possible. Narrow, but for him personally, it is enough" "Novel.

Excluding those minerals that have been accepted by the government, Feng Shijie still has more than a dozen tribes that may have minerals in his hands. Among these dozen tribes, he selected a tribe that has the most information and is also relatively close to them.The name of this tribe is very qiguài, translated into Chinese, it is called the Pine Tree Tribe, but as far as Feng Shijie knows, the weather in Luzon is hot, and the pine trees are not resistant to high temperatures, so it is basically impossible to have pine trees in the world, but this tribe But it was named after a pine tree, which made him very angry.

But a mere name, although Feng Shijie felt qiguài, he didn't care. What he cared about was the information collected about this tribe.This information was provided by a native who worked in a lumber field outside Manila. According to him, the tribe he belonged to was not too far from the Pine Tree tribe.Knowing that this tribe is rich in gold, many men and women have gold ornaments on their bodies.It's just that this tribe was wiped out by another tribe two years ago.

In addition to the information provided by the native, he also got confirmation from the short black man.There was indeed a pine tree tribe among the Malays back then, but this tribe was far away from the dwarf blacks, so they only heard about it and did not know the details of this tribe.Capital Datang 501

Although the information Feng Shijie collected was only this, and even from a rigorous point of view, this information could not explain anything at all, but Feng Shijie and the others originally planned to try their luck, so this information was enough for them.Besides, Feng Shijie is not a specialized intelligence officer.It was not easy for him to collect such valuable information with money in just half a month.

It is also worth mentioning that although the information on the Pine Tree Tribe is vague, it is already the most detailed information compared to other information.It was precisely because of this that Feng Shijie decided to start with the most certain information, to see if he could find the gold mine left by the Pine Tree Tribe?

Feng Shijie is a very decisive person, he will do it immediately when he makes up his mind.After getting ready to explore the gold mine, he wrote another letter to his family, and after recruiting all the people, he immediately set sail for the destination.

It turned out that Feng Shijie's ship left Manila.They were going to go directly to the approximate area where the Pine Tree Tribe was located, but as the saying goes, it was not long before they arrived at Linga Bay.But encountered a typhoon, and had to take shelter in Linga City.As soon as the wind and waves had calmed down, they set sail immediately.Set off again to the Pine Tree Tribe.

The area where the Pine Tree Tribe is located is not far from the sea, and it is located in Linga Bay, but it is on the east coast of Linga Bay, while Linga City is located on the west side, so Feng Shijie and the others have to cross Linga Bay to reach the destination of this trip.

Speaking of which, Linga Bay has a large mouth and a small belly, like a funnel yiyàng. Although such a bay is easy to enter and exit, it does not block the wind and waves. This is just the opposite in Manila Bay. A great port.

However, although the wind and waves in Linga Bay were strong, they could not stop Feng Shijie and the others from moving forward. Their boat headed northeast all the way. It took half a day longer than usual, and finally reached the east coast of Linga Bay.

Compared with the west side of Linga Bay, the east coast is still a virgin land, and generally few merchant ships would come here, so when Feng Shijie and the others arrived at the beach, all they saw was a deserted beach, even the traces of native people's activities nothing.

It is now evening, and at this time the wind and waves on the sea have unexpectedly increased a lot. Even after the ship was anchored, it was still very bumpy. In the end, Feng Shijie and the others simply disembarked and set up the boat that had been prepared for a long time. Tent, a night on the beach.

In the early morning of the next day, the crew boarded the ship again. One was to prepare breakfast on board, and the other was to transport their equipment to the shore for the trip to the Pine Tree Tribe.At this moment, Feng Shijie called a person from the fleet to him, and asked, "Kanu, according to what you said, this place should not be far from the Pine Tree Tribe. Are you sure you can find the location of that tribe?"

This guy named Kanu is short, dark and thin, with curly hair and a look of awe on his face. He can be recognized as a native of Luzon at a glance.In fact, this guy named Kanu was the native who told Feng Shijie about the Pine Tree Tribe. His tribe was originally not far from the Pine Tree Tribe, and its strength was not weak. Zhou Long's army was defeated, and all his tribes were reduced to slaves.

Originally, Kanu was assigned to be a slave in a lumber camp outside Manila, and fell down trees exhaustingly every day. It happened that Feng Shijie sent someone to bribe the guards of the lumber camp and went in to inquire about the news about the minerals. As a result, Kanu told him what he knew. The news about the Pine Tree Tribe told the other party that he also got a good meal for this.

Later, when the news was reported to Feng Shijie, it aroused his attention. In the end, he even redeemed Kanu and his family, making them his personal slaves. He acts as a guide.

Hearing Feng Shijie's question, Kanu replied in blunt Chinese with a flattering smile on his face: "Respected master, don't worry, although I have never been to the residence of the Pine Tree Tribe, I know that the place where they live is surrounded by a group of mountains. If I can see those mountains, then I will be sure to find their place."

Feng Shijie nodded after hearing this, with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he stepped forward and patted Kanu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, as long as you can help me find the Pine Tree Tribe this time, and there is really gold there." If it is mine, then I will let your family get out of slavery and become a fourth-level foreign race with household registration."

"Thank you...thank you, Master!" Hearing Feng Shijie's words, Kanu immediately knelt down and said trembling with excitement.

The so-called four-level alien race is actually a level assigned by Li Yin to the alien race under his rule. There are four levels in total, of which the first level is the highest and the fourth level is the lowest. However, slaves are talking tools and are not among these four levels.For example, slaves like Kanu can only become a fourth-level foreign race if they have the consent of their masters and the masters help them pay a lot of money to get rid of slavery.If Kanu still wants to raise his level, it needs his own efforts, because each level has many strict requirements, such as the mastery of Chinese, the amount of tax paid every year, whether there is a criminal record, etc. .

Regardless of the lowest level of the fourth-level foreign race, it marks that Kanu will become an official resident under Li Yin's rule. He can go to work openly, and at the same time get paid from work, and can also enter the store to buy goods. Walking on the road without worrying about being interrogated by the police, these rights seem very common, but for slaves like Kanu, they are dreamed of.

Seeing Kanu's excited look, Feng Shijie smiled slightly. During breakfast, he specially asked someone to add a meat dish to Kanu, which made the native slave even more excited, and even wished that he could fly to Kanu immediately. The resident of the Pine Tribe, helping the master find the gold he needs.Capital Datang 501

After breakfast, Feng Shijie gathered all the crew members. This time he went to the Pine Tree Tribe, and it was estimated that he would have to cross mountains and mountains, and there were tropical jungles everywhere, so it was impossible to bring too many people there.In addition, their ship also needs to be manned, so this time he plans to take only a team of fifteen people.

These fifteen people are all Feng Shijie's confidantes, such as the bald man in the wheelhouse with him before, nicknamed the bald man, and the 30-year-old Lin Ge, and the short man, they are all The brothers who stayed with Feng Shijie in the slave hunting team back then had life-long friendships, and this time they were looking for those priceless gold mines, so Feng Shijie didn't dare to bring other people along, so he had to take the dozen or so Brothers, plus the guide Kanu, there are fifteen people in total.

Feng Shijie told the remaining sailors to keep an eye on the ship, and then each of them carried a special big bag and wore special clothes. This kind of clothes was an imitation of the military uniform of King Qi. The upper and lower clothes were separated, which was very convenient and neat when walking Especially in the jungle, it is much stronger than robes.In addition, the cuffs and neckline of this kind of clothes are tightened to prevent insects and poisonous snakes in the jungle from getting in.

Speaking of which, in tropical jungles, there are poisonous snakes hiding in the leaves, and poisonous insects burrowing everywhere, there are even more vicious crocodiles in rivers or swamps, and there are mosquitoes that are faster than flies in size. The doctor said that these mosquitoes can also transmit diseases. If you are not careful, you may be bitten. God knows what kind of fatal disease you will get?

Feng Shijie couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he thought of the legendary dangers in the tropical jungle. He went all the way to Australia with the expedition fleet, and visited countless islands along the way, but they only dared to move around the seaside, not at all. He went deep into the jungle, so he didn't know much about tropical jungles, and he didn't have much confidence in this operation.To be continued...)
