Win the Ding 1617

PS: The unscrupulous plot continues.

Under the leadership of the pilots, several sea-going ships sailed slowly into the port wharf at the Pearl River Estuary in Guangzhou.

Under the yelling of the leaders at all levels, the helmsmen and sailors on the ship lowered the sail, dropped the anchor, dropped the rope, and lowered the gangway according to the password and operating procedures. own identity.

In fact, they don't need to say much, the flag blown by the river wind on the mast has already explained everything.

Yin Lei walked out of his cabin, stood on the deck full of various goods, and looked at the scene on the shore quite curiously.

"This is the Guangzhou Port you keep talking about?" He looked at the bustling people on the pier, driving horse-drawn carts and carts, nervously carrying what seemed to be an endless stream of unloading from the ship and transporting it out of the warehouse. All kinds of large and small goods.

"Yeah! I haven't been back for more than two years, and it's so lively here!" The sailors on the ship also had sparks in their eyes, eager to complete the port entry procedures as soon as possible, unload the cargo on board, and then go home immediately to meet with family reunion.

Yin Lei didn't have such strong thoughts as the sailors, he was just curious but also with a little trepidation and excitement, carefully observing the city of Guangzhou.Try to print everything you see and hear in your mind!The excited purple face was so red that it was almost bleeding.

If you don't look carefully, Yin Lei has the same facial features as those coolies, officials, and deacons on the pier, with the same black hair and black eyes.The only difference is that the skin is darker.However, compared with those native laborers and official slaves from Nanzhong and Nanyang, his complexion is much lighter.

People like him, not to mention in Ha Tinh and Hue, even in Guangzhou right now, they are all caught by a handful.

However, his arrival is of extraordinary significance.

Yin Lei is the leader of a descendant of the Shang Dynasty from the land of Fusang!

"What's that?" He pointed curiously at the seven or eight strong horses on the South Wharf dragging four or five carriages connected together, and the carriages were piled up with goods like hills.Those horses didn't care at all, they walked like flying under the coachman's yelling.

It's not that Yin Lei has never seen a horse, on the contrary, he is also a good rider.There are several horses in the stable at home.But he couldn't figure it out anyway, how could these horses be able to carry heavy loads so much?The horses in his family can't do anything.

"That's that?! That's called a rail carriage. The best steel is made into long strips and laid on the ashes of the road, and the carriage walks on the rails. Naturally, it saves time and effort and travels like flying. However, it is also costly. Laying a A kilometer of track, among other things, is steel, and a meter of rail costs at least [-] catties! Not counting spikes, sleepers, burnt ashes, and the wheels and tracks of carriages also need to be specially made! Rao, our Southern Guangdong Army It has always been rich in steel, and it can only be laid in important places such as the docks and mines. It is really unusable!"

After hearing the boatswain's rambunctious speech, Yin Lei's mind immediately fell into a blank state of shutdown.To be rich and powerful enough to use steel to lay rails for transportation, what kind of world should this be made by the gods!

"The matter of recognizing our ancestors and returning to our ancestors is really on the right track!" He whispered to several relatives and friends accompanying him in the tribal dialect. "I'm afraid that the addition of ten or twenty Xinchaoge and Dingdong City may not be half the size of Guangzhou City!"

Yin Lei.He was the first descendant of the Yin and Shang dynasties who belonged to or recognized his ancestors. His name was given by Taoist Ruoshui for him.

The so-called Xinchaoge and Dingdong City are the cities, or strongholds, built by Ruoshui Daochang and those men who went to the old place of the Yin and Shang Dynasties by the sea.

In the huge mansion of Liang Guogong, which is as magnificent as a temple, Xu Hongzu, the principal of the Nakano School who is in charge of training the explorers, handed over the map and related reports sent by Ruoshuidao Changshou across the Pacific to Li Shouhan, kneeling on the ground and dared not From the corner of his eye, he peeked at Li Shouhan who lived like a god on several layers of white jade steps.In their eyes, the aloof Li Shouhan is really just like what Taoist Ruoshui said, he is the one chosen by the Emperor of Heaven!

Among the maps and reports submitted by Xu Hongzu.Li Shouhan was pleasantly surprised to find that this magic stick had already established dozens of strongholds, large and small, on the west coast of the Fusang mainland, that is, on the coastline on the day when we were facing each other across the Pacific Ocean.That is to say, Xinchaoge and Dingdong City are the two largest, acting as the core fortress.

From the perspective of geographical location and the direction of mountains and rivers, the location of the two castles chosen by Ruo Shuidao and the Fusang expedition team is probably in San Francisco and Seattle.

This point can also be seen from the gifts presented by Yin Lei and others.

Large chunks of raw gold, colorful fur.There are also various leather goods made of bison leather. Although they are crude and rough, many information such as the scale of the place of origin can be inferred.

Judging from the gifts they presented, as well as the appearances and appearances of Yin Lei and Shang Feng, the two leaders who came to recognize their ancestors, they should belong to the Hopi and Shoshone people distributed in the vast area of ​​the west coast!

From the moment they entered the waters of Guangzhou, the two big bosses had completely determined that they were the descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties that Ruoshuidao Zhang said!Roads, houses, services, all kinds of cultural elements have a sense of deja vu, even the flying dragons and giant birds on the flags are similar to their totems.

"It must be! We must be!" Yin Lei and Shang Feng told themselves very firmly in their hearts.

This is actually the psychology that arises after the backward civilization worships and falls behind the advanced civilization.Speaking of the ability to recognize ancestors, it is really not the largest country in the universe living in a remote corner of the peninsula.It's people from Western European and Mediterranean countries.

Originally, they were a group of northern barbarians who were driven out step by step from the mountains and forests by the Huns. Facing the fast horse bows and arrows of the Huns, they had to migrate westward and southward in waves.The Franks and Germans were all barbarians at that time.But it was this group of barbarians who, in the end, shyly said that they were the descendants or successors of Greek civilization and Roman civilization, playing the banner of Italian revival.I'll bah!If Caesar and Octavian knew that they were recognized as ancestors by a group of northern barbarian descendants, they would probably be so angry that they would go to find the instigator of this matter. Go and do the math!

The Hopi are distributed near San Francisco. They are a matrilineal society, mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, and their main crop is maize.Also grow beans, squash, melons and other vegetables and fruits.Men engaged in farming and animal husbandry, building houses, participating in various ceremonies, making moccasins, weaving clothes and blankets.In addition to daily housework, women also weaved baskets, made pottery, drew water, and engaged in auxiliary work in vegetable gardens and construction.The Hopi, like other Puebloans, are peaceful.Practice monogamy.Women rarely attend ceremonial ceremonies, but sometimes join one of the three women's secret societies as voluntary members.There are a number of secret societies that men can volunteer in, regardless of their village, including fervent Cheng Cheng ceremonies and the annual Solstice-Sawyal celebration.This celebration is very important.Most of the ceremonies are led by senior officials, often village and town chiefs.

Compared with the Hopi people, the Shoshone people appear to be much braver and braver.They are distributed over a wide range from southeastern California, across central and eastern Nevada and northwestern Utah, into southern Idaho and western Wyoming, and belong to those Indian tribes that fought until modern times. .

Initial contact between the Shoshone and whites involved the westward travel of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805 and the arrival of fur trappers and traders in the Rocky Mountains in 1820.White immigration followed, most notably the Mormon settlement in Salt Lake City, the heart of the Shoshone.In the three generations since then, Shoshone chiefs have fought hard against American forces in an attempt to reclaim their lost hunting grounds.Although their struggle was valiant, it ended in failure: in 1890.The last Shoshone tribe was forcibly removed onto the reservation by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The Northern Shoshone resisted the white invasion.In the earliest days, the Northern Shoshone could coexist peacefully with the Mormons, because the Mormon elders tacitly agreed to compensate the Shoshone for hunting and logging damage with food and supplies.Although sporadic conflicts occurred from time to time, between 1847 and the 1850s, there was a generally peaceful situation between the Shoshone and the Mormons; Takes most of the Shoshone's prey. In 50 Jacob Fourney, superintendent of Indian affairs for the Utah District, recognized the impact of the immigration when he wrote: "The Indians . Desperate and starving, the Shoshone began raiding isolated farms and stealing cattle, which in turn increased friction between the Mormons and the Shoshone.Food and supplies to compensate the Shoshone dwindled.

Li Shouhan was very curious. Although Ruoshui Daochang was known for being good at fooling around, how did he subdue two Indian tribes in just over two years?Set up settlements in such a vast area?

All these were answered in the conversation between the professionals from the Business Intelligence Department and two honest and honest men, Yin Lei and Shang Feng.

Although both of them are stuttering Chinese that can't express their meaning.However, even with guessing, Li Shouhan gradually understood how the head of the water channel opened up the situation in Fusang.

"I'm afraid it's 'goose mouth'."

Dressed as a doctor and carrying a medicine box, Taoist Ruoshui.In the eyes of several Hopi people who were either staring at a tiger or full of confusion or full of expectation, they looked at the scrawny baby in the arms of a Hopi woman.

The child could not stop crying; the small mouth was wide open, the corners of the mouth were drooling, the inside of the mouth was covered with white spots like snowflakes, and the throat was red and swollen, which was very serious thrush.

"Thrush" is surgery. Chi Ruoshui has a long experience in the rivers and lakes, and has also done business selling wild medicines. He knows the treatment methods for various common diseases of bruises. He nodded and said, "Let me take a look!"

"Alas!" While watching, Ruo Shui said with compassion, "It's too late. The child's illness has been delayed!"

"So it is." The Hopi woman said with tears, "I also asked the wizard to look at it and skip God, but it didn't get better."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Taoist Ruo Shui hurriedly ordered Tong Shi to comfort her, "I am half practicing medicine, and half acting on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven to save people and do good deeds. You don't have to worry about healing people with predestined relationship."

The woman naturally thanked her more than ever.Under the watchful eye of a group of Hopis, the head of the water channel began to treat the baby. First, he wiped off the white spots with a piece of clean white silk, and then took out a goose quill from the medicine box, and applied mint and borneol on the baby. .These two cool medicines.The burning pain in the baby's mouth was reduced, and the crying actually stopped.

At this moment, Ruo Shuidaochang immediately became a fairy-like figure in the eyes of these Hopi people!

"Great wizard! Please continue to cast spells to save this child!" Several Hopi women stopped Ruoshuidao who turned around and was about to walk.

"Pindao said just now that Pindao was sent by the Emperor of Heaven. There is a predestined relationship between medicine and medicine. You are all descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, so naturally you and Pindao are predestined people. However, Pindao needs to cure this child right now, but he lacks a blind medicine. , you have to go back to get it. You have blocked the way of the poor, how can this be done?"

"What's missing, there are many warriors in my tribe who are willing to help the great wizard! Just ask the great wizard to explain!" Yin Lei, who was not called Yin Lei at that time, helped his mother out of his house.

"No and no!" Director Ruoshui waved his hands as he watched the furs and raw gold that a dozen Hopi people hurriedly took out from their homes, indicating that he was not for these things.He even opened the lid of the medicine box and signaled for everyone to watch: "I need to use 'Liu Qingsan' for thrush. There are four medicines in total, and I only bring three of them; if one medicine is missing, the effect will be worse. So, in order to save this child. I have to go to the place where I live to get this medicine!"

Seeing that Director Ruoshui spoke so earnestly, and there was absolutely no taste of extortion by a temporary price increase, Yin Lei and the others immediately raised their favor towards him to another level.

"Then ask the great wizard to send a guide. There are some people in our tribe who are good at running and walking. Let them go to your place as soon as possible to get the medicine they need!"

"Are you the leader here? As long as you send a few people back with my guide, let the people in the city take some of the various medicines I carry, and I can treat the number of people in your clan who are infected with the disease." A hundred lives!"

If the water director saw it clearly, among Yin Lei's tribe, besides this baby suffering from thrush, many people also suffered from diphtheria, an infectious disease.

For the Hopi, this is a serious disease that can wipe out the tribe.

Director Ruo Shui had already learned about the prevalence of the tribe's disease from spies.According to the situation described by the spies, there are white spots on the left and right sides of the throat, swelling and pain, difficulty drinking, fever with sweat or no sweat, or aversion to cold and cold limbs, headache and fainting, joint pain, red face, red lips, upset and chest tightness, Cough, thirst, greasy tongue, sweet or bitter mouth, white or slippery or gray fur, dry and sore throat, upset, dizziness, tinnitus, dry mouth and redness, sudden fever without a cold, or fever in the afternoon, or fever subsides and recurs after sweating , or persistent sweating.It happened to be diphtheria that he could treat, otherwise he wouldn't have ventured here.

The purpose of ordering Yin Lei to send people to Dingdong City to get those medicines was not to treat these patients.In addition to conquering the hearts of this tribe, he also intends to let those tribe members see the strength and momentum of Dingdong City.At the moment, he has fully demonstrated the true qualities of a competent and excellent magic stick, "Poverty Dao was sent here by the Emperor of Heaven, so he will naturally do his best to save the Chinese Miao descendants."

"Pimpedao's medicine is also blessed by the Emperor of Heaven. All my Huaxia Miao descendants and Yin Shang descendants will naturally take the medicine until their illnesses are cured. There is nothing I can do to help!" Sure enough, he is a person who has been walking on the rivers and lakes for a long time. In addition to exaggerating his own status and fooling around, he also took away the responsibility of those who were too seriously ill to be treated and failed. .They don't think they are Chinese descendants!Or, they are not descendants of Yin Shang at all!How do you let Pindao treat this?

However, the vast majority of people in Yin Lei's tribe are descendants of Yin Shang.Several pairs of medicines mainly prepared with book lotus, cicada, pond chrysanthemum, burdock seed, forsythia, ganzhonghuang, platycodon, nepeta, tempeh, and bamboo leaves, and then adjust the increase or decrease according to the different symptoms of the patient. Hezhichi decoction, add Ren for cough, add Scutellaria baicalensis for abdominal pain and diarrhea, add orange red and Zhuru for dryness and evil, add hawthorn for sandwich food, add Chuanlian and Zhuru for vomiting, add Yujin for diaphragmatic distress, add reed rhizome for rash, and soon Got under control.

Diphtheria is a kind of febrile disease, sometimes divided into evil and subdued evil.For those who develop due to seasonal evils, it is advisable to relieve it with pungent coolness, as the scriptures say, "wind is promiscuous in the interior, and it is cured with pungent coolness".

Seeing that the men and women who were dying of illness in the tribe were alive again in a blink of an eye, and they could walk and work in the fields. How could they not be regarded as miracles by the people in the tribe?What's more, those Hopi people who went to Dingdong City to contact and fetch medicines, after returning, acted as free voluntary propagandists among the tribe, bragging about the strength and prosperity of Dingdong City tirelessly in the tribe for Ruo Shuidao .

Words are false, seeing is believing.When the people in the tribe were dubious about the scene described by the people who had been to Dingdong City, a caravan from Dingdong City came to the village of Yinlei for purchasing or trading.

Corn, pumpkins, beans, vegetables, turkeys, sheep, deer and other things raised by the tribal people are all the varieties that Ruoshuidao Zhang and his companions want to purchase.

"Our castle is going to be expanded. I heard that you are all good at building houses. We came here to recruit people to build houses!"

A group of purchasers of non-staple food just left on the front foot, and another group of recruiting craftsmen came on the back foot.

The will of the gods and the powerful strength all attract the Hopi people invisibly. (~^~)
