The morning sun shines on the grassland, the sky is blue and the breeze is gentle, and it is another rare good weather. Zhao Mingfeng and his team are whistling eastward in the breeze.

This time they were going to the Azina tribe, about 700 to 800 miles away from Jinshan City. If they were to run wildly, they might be able to arrive in one day, but in that case, their mounts would probably be destroyed. Therefore, Zhao Mingfeng did not force people to rush to the road with all their might, but rested all night on the way.

Now, they have been traveling all over the Indian tribes within five or six hundred miles of Jinshan City. The next tribes are at least seven or eight hundred miles away from Jinshan City. The reason for choosing the Azina tribe this time is mainly because they are near the railway line planned by the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhao Mingfeng's current situation, there are more than 200 Indian tribes in North America in total, and it is naturally impossible to visit them one by one in a short period of time.

The steel mill at the Jinshan City base is under rapid construction, and the three vassal state legions that built the railway have all been in place. The railway is just around the corner, and the tribes passing through the railway naturally became his primary goal.

This Azina tribe is also a large tribe of tens of thousands of people, and has a considerable influence on the surrounding tribes. If you can get along well with them, then the Indian tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles nearby will basically be handled.

Zhao Mingfeng has long since started visiting the Indian tribe. Since the legend of the Celestial Kingdom spread on the North American continent, the Indian tribes have obviously regarded the Ming Empire as a relative and savior, and the possibility of them becoming enemies with the Ming Empire is no longer very high.

The reason why he brought so many people to visit was to confirm the legend of the Celestial Kingdom, and to negotiate with various Indian tribes to return to the embrace of the Ming Empire.

Judging from the current situation, the Indian tribes did not have any resistance to returning to the Ming Empire. After all, the British colonists had taught them a lesson. If they did not fall into the arms of the Ming Empire, they would be ready to accept the butcher knife of the British colonists.

Life and death are a very simple multiple-choice question. No one will choose to die inexplicably. They must want to live.

However, they didn't know how to contact the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire and what they had to do to return to the embrace of the Ming Empire, and that was exactly what Zhao Mingfeng wanted to talk to them about.

Thanks to the message from the tribes in the west, the envoys of the Ming Empire of the Celestial Dynasty will descend to the Azina tribe today. The chief of the Azina tribe has long been on the grasslands west of the tribe with a large number of warriors.

As evening approached, a rumbling sound of horse hooves finally came from the distance, and soon, more than a hundred riders appeared in the distance.

This should be the envoy of the Ming Empire of the Celestial Dynasty. The chief of the Azina tribe couldn't wait to bring his soldiers to the horse and greet them.

However, when he came to the more than a hundred cavalry approaching, he was a little stunned.

This seems to be all the soldiers of the Seattle Tribe. The totem they painted on was obviously the totem of the famous Seattle Tribe.

He had heard that the Ming Empire of the Celestial Dynasty was the tribe of the Seattle. What about the envoys of the Ming Empire?

Although he had not seen the messenger of the Celestial Empire, he still welcomed him enthusiastically, greeted each other with the leading Seattle tribe warriors, and then leaned over and gave him a hug.

After hugging, he couldn't help asking: "Where is the messenger of the Celestial Empire? Didn't the messenger of the Celestial Empire come today?"

Now it was Zhao Mingfeng's turn to be stunned. He learned the greetings and he would also be the etiquette of embracing them. However, he couldn't understand the whole story of the chief's words at all!

He couldn't help but look back at the two Mongolian translators and asked them to introduce what the chief was talking about.

Seeing this, the two Mongolian translators rushed to come immediately. One of them repeated the words of the Chief of the Azina tribe in Chinese, and the other introduced it to the Chief of the Azina tribe in Indian.

As soon as the translation finished, the chief of the Azina tribe almost glared out, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Mingfeng up and down.

Is this the messenger of the Celestial Empire? No matter how you look at it, it is exactly the same as the Indians!

At this point, he had no doubt about the legend anymore. The Indians were definitely survivors of the Celestial Empire. Didn’t they see that their appearance and skin color were exactly the same as theirs?

With such "cognition", he became more enthusiastic about Zhao Mingfeng, and even had a hint of admiration in his enthusiasm. It was obvious that he had regarded himself as a citizen of the Heavenly Kingdom.

With the help of the translator, Zhao Mingfeng started to tell stories with ease.

First of all, he told the story of the Bering Strait, that is, there was a very shallow sea area in the extreme north of the two continents. When this sea area retreated, it would directly become a channel connecting the two continents. The ancestors of the Indians came to the American continent through this channel.

Later, the sea water slowly eroded, and the surface of Shanghai rose, and the passage gradually broke, and the ancestors of the Indians lost contact with the Heavenly Kingdom from then on.

Then, he told the story of the Mongols drifting over when they encountered a storm on the sea. This is the story of the Mongols translating their ancestors. When they introduce them, they are naturally more realistic.

Finally, Zhao Mingfeng pointed directly at his skin and his face, without saying anything, and he could see that everyone was his own!

The chief of the Azina tribe naturally believed in this. The two talked and laughed all the way, and soon became their own people.

After entering the Azina tribe, everyone was inevitably attracted to the onlookers again. Almost all the people from the Azina tribe ran over and wanted to see what the legendary envoy of the Celestial Empire looked like.

Needless to say, Zhao Mingfeng is, when everyone knows that he is an envoy of the Celestial Empire, everyone's eyes look at him are the same as God.

Even the warriors of the Seattle tribe benefited from it, and everyone looked at them with envy.

It's really enviable to be with the messengers of the Celestial Empire and wear such beautiful shorts.

After arriving at the residence of the chief of the Azina tribe, he gave gifts as usual. Zhao Mingfeng ordered everyone to take out all the gifts from his backpack and piled them up directly into the living room of the chief's house.

What kind of cloth, porcelain, tea, spices, wine, mirrors, pants and other daily necessities, as well as various exquisite knives, telescopes, and even revolvers, were introduced one by one, making Chief Azina's happy mouth unable to close.

Then, there was a sumptuous dinner. Everyone sat around the flat ground outside, and countless Indian delicacies were served in turn, eating and chatting, which was extremely lively.

Before we knew it, it became dark, and someone lit a huge bonfire in the middle of the flat ground. People who had eaten and drunk started dancing wildly, and laughter and joy spread throughout the Azina tribe.

Zhao Mingfeng answered several questions that the chief of the Azina tribe was most concerned about one by one while eating and drinking.

For example, how to keep in touch with the Ming Dynasty.

This is very simple. You can follow them to Jinshan City Zhizhi Road, or you can wait for the Ming Dynasty to build the railway and build a large city nearby. Then you can just go to the city to contact us.

For example, how to return to the embrace of the Great Ming Dynasty.

This is also very simple. As long as everyone regards themselves as their people of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will also regard them as their people, without much demand or constraints on them. It is enough to assist the Ming Dynasty in finding mines, and the Ming Dynasty will not force them to do other things.

Of course, they can also work in the cities established by the Ming Dynasty, make some money, buy some things they want, or exchange what they want with their own specialties. These are all OK.

The Ming Dynasty did not want to plunder wealth from them. They generally lived a self-sufficient life and had nothing to plunder. Zhu Cijing mainly valued their labor. Once they got used to using the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely go to the cities established by the Ming Dynasty to work and make money. In this way, they would slowly assimilate, and one day they would become exactly the same as the people of the Ming Empire.

As for taxes, they themselves cannot create much wealth, and there is actually not much difference between paying or not. It is better not to pay them taxes to increase their intimacy and quickly gain their recognition, so that it will be easier to assimilate.
