At the foot of the cold mountain, in a simple earthen house, Bolo, Nikan, Yue Le, Wu Keshan, Jang Cun-in, Zu Ze-run, and a North Korean named Kim Chung-hee gathered together.

In the room, people from the four ethnic groups of Manchu, Meng, Han and Korea gathered, and now everyone has come to this strange land and become people in the same boat, and everyone realizes that it is necessary to unite together.

At this time, although Fu Lin was the emperor, he actually had no power, and Bolo had to treat the Han and Koreans anew.

Because in the previous battles with the Rakshasas, the main deaths were Manchus and Mongols, and the Han and Koreans who helped the Manchus fish, logg, and build houses were relatively small, and in the process of crossing the ocean, most of the ships controlled by the Manchus sank to the bottom of the sea or were separated from the fleet, so that the population ashore, the Manchus accounted for less than 20%, the Mongols accounted for 10%, and the remaining 70% were Han and Koreans.

In order to unite the people and avoid civil strife, and when they came to a strange place, they outsiders had to unite together, so Bolo and other Manchus had to change the past ethnic policy, regard the four tribes as a whole, and set up a seven-member council to jointly adjudicate major matters.

Of course, although the total population of Manchu accounts for only 20%, it still occupies an absolute advantage in the council.

At this time, the seven gathered together, and a fire was lit in the middle, on which a few corn cobs and sweet potatoes were roasted.

Bolo replaced Fulin as the leader, and he spoke: "Have you counted all the personnel and supplies?" ”

In addition to fighting, the Manchus can only rely on the Han and Koreans in other aspects, Zhang Cunren nodded, "The inventory is out!" There are still thirteen big boats left, two thousand three hundred and eight people, mainly young and strong, and there is basically nothing left, but in this tribe, there is a lot of grain in stock, enough for us to survive the winter. ”

There were only more than 2,000 people left, which made everyone sigh for a while, and at the same time felt the severity of the situation.

Wu Keshan opened his mouth and said, "King Ruizhong, where is this place?" ”

Everyone looked at Bo Luo in unison, Bo Luo frowned, and said: "I don't know about this, what is certain is that this continent is in the east of Guanwai, far away from the world, and it is very large. ”

Bolo asked the chief a lot of questions and wanted to know where they were, but the two sides did not understand the language, so they could only draw strokes, and Bolo could not get much information.

Zu Zerun opened his mouth and said: "In the early years, Li Zhizao, the imperial servant of the Ming Dynasty, once presented to Emperor Wanli a map of Kunyu Wanguo, which was painted with a large piece of land in the east of the world. As he spoke, he picked up the blackened corn cob, "Plus the corn grown by the Wei Kingdom, it is said that it came from this continent, and we didn't get there." ”

Zu Zerun is the son of Zu Dashou, and he has some knowledge.

When everyone heard this, they looked at the corn cob and sweet potatoes, and they were a little frightened. It turns out that Gao Yihuan's corn and sweet potatoes actually come from here.

Nikan was shocked, "Then wouldn't the Wei thief be able to come!" ”

Zu Zerun was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, "It shouldn't be, this is far from Taiyuan in the Central Plains, and no one from the Central Plains has ever been here." ”

Nikan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine! ”

Bolo seemed to be interested, "What is this fast continent called, how big is it?" ”

"I don't know what it's called, but it's said to be very big, and it won't be smaller than the Ming Dynasty." Zu Zerun said.

Bolo fell into deep thought, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, "It's as big as the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know the name, so let's call it Dongzhou." ”

"Dongzhou!" Everyone talked for a while, the east of the world, the name Dongzhou gave them a sense of security, as if it was not far from the Central Plains.

At this time, Bolo suddenly said: "I don't know if you have found a problem?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Nikan said, "What's the problem?" ”

Bolo said mysteriously: "The tribe here is even more backward than the wild people in the north when we were outside the pass, and in the whole tribe, there is no iron tool, but a kind of black stone, no horses, and not even wheels. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone realized that it seemed to be the case.

Nikan didn't understand what Bolo meant, and wondered, "What do you mean?" ”

Bolo mentioned the spirit, "The fact that such a backward tribe can survive shows that there are no powerful forces around, or that the level of other forces is similar to that of this tribe." What does this mean for us? ”

"Chance!" Yue Le's eyes lit up, and he learned to answer.

The various ethnic groups in northern China, influenced by the nomadic culture, have been the jungle for thousands of years, and the tribes have merged, so that the Manchu people from the northeast think that if they are weak, they should be conquered.

A piece of land larger than the Ming Dynasty, and the people living on it are very weak, this is simply the land given to them by God.

The American continent is suitable for human survival and agriculture, unlike the savannah of Africa, and the people living here are extremely backward in metal smelting technology, there are no agricultural tools to reclaim the land, and they are completely out of the Stone Age, which undoubtedly gives outsiders a chance.

The environment in the Americas is closed, there is a lack of communication, coupled with the vast land and abundant resources, you can eat by relying on the sky, life is too comfortable, there is no large-scale invasion, you can live by planting something casually, you can live by planting something, and the lack of motivation for development has caused the slow development of civilization.

This made Bolo and others see an opportunity, but they didn't know that with the landing of Western colonies in the Americas, the Indians of North America were far stronger than the natives of South America, and they would soon evolve from stone tools to iron tools and firearms in weapons, and obtained war horses, which gave the Westerners many major blows.

With excitement in his eyes, Bolo nodded, "Yes, this is indeed an opportunity for us. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Cunren, Zu Zerun, and Kim Jung-hee, "Now, let's clarify the division of labor." Zhang Cunren, you will select the craftsmen among the Han people, look for them nearby, see if there are any iron mines, and prepare to smelt iron. ”

Zhang Cunren clenched his fists, "Don't worry, the king of the county, we all have craftsmen who smelt and build weapons and armor!" As soon as you find ore and coal, you can start working immediately. At that time, we will all be in iron armor, and it will not be a problem to sweep tens of thousands of natives. ”

Bolo nodded, "When looking for mines, you can ask those natives, maybe they know where there are mines, but they won't use them." ”

After speaking, Bolo continued: "Zu Zerun, you let people build houses and granaries to prepare for the winter, and organize manpower to reclaim the land and prepare for next year's cultivation. Kim Jong-hee, you will repair the ship. ”

Several people received orders one after another, and Wu Keshan said: "Then what should I do?" ”

Bolo smiled: "The Mongols are the best at herding horses, and the more than fifty horses will be handed over to you." ”

Wu Keshan nodded, "Those natives don't seem to have seen horses, these horses will be our sharp weapons, and I will let people take good care of them." ”

Bolo nodded, then looked at Nikan and Yue Le, stood up and said, "Let's explore the surroundings of the tribe to see if there are any other indigenous tribes, get some women from them, let everyone settle down again, settle their hearts, and at the same time make these tribes submit to us." ”
