Chapter 1023 Taixia Guoshu, Powerful Tribes in Northeast Asia

"Captain Sager, this golden stone looks golden, as if it is the big dust gold that the old grandmother said..."

"Ancestors! These densely packed symbols, neat and weird, seem to indicate the guidance of the divine deer... Is it the pattern of shaman divination?..."

In the deep night, there are also bright stars in the starry sky of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Wrapped in thick leather robes, the sailors of the Northland tribe skillfully dug shallow pits and built short leather sheds to protect them from the wind. They separated a team of people to watch the night, and others formed a small circle along several campfires, lying on the leather pads to rest. And the inner and warmer circle is the southern warriors of the kingdom. Although they are strong and fierce, they are far less cold-resistant than the tribal sailors recruited in the Northland, and they have to stay close to the campfire to fall asleep.

The innermost bonfire is naturally the exploration captain Zuvaro and two Itelmen hunters who arrived. Zuwaro took out the gold and credentials, and looked at the two expectantly, but their reactions were blank, not as strong as predicted.

"Witness of the ancestors with spirits! I am a tribe from the eastern sea. I am not a shaman of the tribe, so I can't understand your shaman runes!"

The hunting captain Mugou pulled his hair and shook his head vigorously, expressing that he has no shaman heritage. Afterwards, he cautiously returned the leather paper covered with "runes" to Zuvaro, and pointed to the mountains in the north, with awe on his face.

"Friend... Our old grandmother in the mountains has the inheritance of an ancient shaman, maybe she will recognize your runes..."

"Well...you don't know it? Well...you point to the north? Does anyone in the north know it? No, your Majesty's prophecy said that it is on the big island in the south...Oh, you said the tomb of the ancestors, your tribe is in the north ?...What is there in the mountains of the north? Oh, dancing, singing, around the fire, tribal priests?..."

Seeing the Mu dog's reaction, the exploration captain Zuvaro touched his head, making gestures to guess what the other party meant. Soon, he understood, slightly disappointed, and took back the unfolded parchment.

He glanced at the first vertical line, the big square characters written by His Majesty himself, "Letter from King Taixia of the East China Sea to the King of Japan", and then at the red jade seal engraved on the eyelid paper, carefully rolled it up and put it away. Then, he put this volume of "Certificate of Credence" into a small waterproof copper box under his feet, and put it together with several other important "Certificate of Credence" carefully, and put it away carefully.

In fact, there are only four copies of such a solemn and peculiar vertical jade seal "national book" in the copper box! He had already secretly read the names of these national books. In addition to the "King of Japan", there were also "Letter from King Taixia of the East China Sea to the King of Korea", "Letter from King Taixia of the East China Sea to Khan of Dayuan Dayuan"... and the last The formal one is also the longest, the format is extremely neat, and the wording is the most modest, "King Taixia of the East China Sea pays homage to the Chinese Emperor Daming Emperor's Credentials"!

"Your Majesty said that no matter what the three islands and the tribal alliance, the women's straight tribal alliance, the Korean tribal alliance... are not particularly powerful, they will know the scriptures of divine revelation, and they can have equal contact. Only this last 'Daming' The Great Alliance of the Han Tribes is stronger than ever before! Their strength is equivalent to ten times the sum of the alliance world!"

"Although it is unbelievable and unimaginable, His Majesty's divine revelation has never been wrong. It should indeed be an extremely powerful alliance of big tribes! It is said that their chiefs are called 'Son of Heaven', also called 'Emperor', supreme, He is regarded as the only son of the gods. If you want to see their great emperor chiefs, or the great chiefs and great chiefs who can get in touch with the affairs of their states, you must show enough respect!"

"According to His Majesty's prophecy, the supreme emperor chief and those respected Confucian priests highly value the respectful attitude of foreign envoys, even more than everything else. However, those close to the emperor chief, those cronies who hold power The female snakes, as well as the great chiefs in charge of the city-state, are particularly fond of gold! And the way to deal with these different people has to be dealt with according to their different identities..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro lowered his eyes, thinking over and over again, the last part of His Majesty's prophecy. He doesn't know what the supreme emperor and chieftain is, what is a powerful alliance that has never been seen before, let alone what is a respected Confucian priest, a trusted female snake who holds power... He just follows his past knowledge, and still With His Majesty's inspiration, let's work hard to speculate!

And according to His Majesty's revelation, there is the most clear and simple way to distinguish these powerful tribal alliances, and that is to look at their attitude towards gold!

Thinking of this, the exploration captain Zuwaro smiled, took out two gold cakes with holes, tied them with slender laces, and put them on the necks of the two tribal hunters with his own hands.

"Witness of the Lord God! Tribal brothers who live in the northern mountains... This is a special product of our longboat tribe, two gold sun amulets, one is exactly one catty!..."

"Eh? Spiritual ancestors! ... Is this, a golden, shamanic amulet?"

The hunting captain Mu Hound held the gold cake in his hand and stared at it for a while. A pound of gold cake sounds like a lot, but it is actually less than half the size of a palm in your hand. The front of this gold cake is engraved with an abstract sun, and inside is an unknown bird. On the back of the gold cake, a mysterious shamanic rune, "God", is engraved. In fact, this one-jin gold cake is not exactly the same as the main god amulet preached by the alliance, but it can only be said to be exactly the same.

"Hey! This heavy weight is really gold dust! Captain, the old grandmother once said that yellow and heavy gold can be exchanged for domesticated dogs from the horse department in the west, and it can also be exchanged from the island in the south. Ministry, in exchange for edible salt... Can this small piece of gold cake be exchanged for a dog? Or a bag of salt?..."

"Molu, don't talk nonsense, think about it! Can you walk past the hostile coastal deer tribe, past the murderous game tents, to meet the legendary herding horse tribe, or can you row to the In the south, go to those villages in the islands to give away heads?... This piece of gold cake is not very useful for deer, it is the shaman amulet given to us by the longboat tribe. Keep it well, shaman of the sea department It is estimated that it will attract the blessing of the Sea God and bring some good luck in fishing!…”

"Uh, that's right!...Captain, you still think too much, think everything, you are worthy of being the Sage Dog King of our mountain!..."

"Haha! The spiritual ancestors bless us! It seems that these Haibu are not malicious now, and they may become our friends in the Shanbu... Oh no! We have to go back and tell the old grandmother about the situation here! To avoid Mutu The guys can't wait for us, and bring Ding Zhuang out of the mountain!..."

Exploration Captain Zuwaro narrowed his eyes, observing the reaction of the two tribal hunters after they got the gold. He caught the expressions of the two of them, and it seemed that he was just a little bit happier, and he didn't have the greed and excitement in the prophecy.

"Hey! It seems that these tribes in the mountains are indeed not the ones His Majesty mentioned. And the trade that His Majesty hoped for may not be able to start... Well, the powerful tribal alliance in the prophecy should still be in the south! "

"However, the sea is about to freeze, and this year's voyage is over! We have to find a warm and sheltered winter camp to prepare for the coming terrible winter!..."

It was freezing cold, and it was already late at night. The language barrier between the two sides relies on gestures and drawings, and it takes too much effort to communicate. But the slow communication has brought basic mutual trust and the possibility of further cooperation.

"Spiritual ancestors! You, want to go to our tribe and see the wise old grandmother of the tribe?"

"Yeah, we want to go to the mountains in the north to meet you, chiefs or priests! We want to know the situation of the surrounding ministries, and we also want to trade with you, that four-legged beast, and the crops that can be grown!"

"What? You, want to know the surroundings, tribe? You, also want to transport people, reindeer? Oh! And food, berries?"

The hunting captain, Mu Hound, lowered his head, looked at the four-legged beasts and plants eaten by humans painted on the snow, and then looked at Zuvaro's serious gestures, showing vigilance on his face.

For the Kamchatka tribe, inquiring about news from other tribes was usually a precursor to attack and plunder. Thinking about it, the opponent has ninety elite hunters, with excellent copper axes, big bows and leather armor, and a big boat that can go deep into the river...

There is no doubt that in the northern snowfield where the tribes are sparsely populated, this is a powerful tribal force, and it will not leave in a short time! And since they want to stay here for the winter, they will inevitably look for food for the winter and a camp for the winter. Under such circumstances, the most common solution in this extremely northern sub-Asian snowfield where fighting is endless, is naturally to attack the weak tribes, kill the men who are taller than the waist, and then kill the women, food and Take the camp for yourself! …

"Hmm... ancestors with spirits! On the desolate and cold snow field, the fighting between tribes never stops, the difference is only killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy!..."

"Maybe... this sea tribe that emerged from the southeast sea can become an ally of our mountain tribe to fight against the deer tribe that is heading south from the northwest! ... No, I have to go back overnight to meet the wise old grandmother of the tribe!"
