Chapter 378 Destroying the National Unity of the New World

You are really a rich man who just wants to take out hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of gold. How much gold do you have to have?
He immediately changed his smile and asked the guide to help translate. The main purpose was to find out where the gold was obtained.
The clan leader did not hide anything and pointed to a mountain in the distance. The guide said that the gold was taken out there.
It is either mining or taking, just like picking up garbage, picking out the ore, and then simply smelting it to make tools.
In the language of the Aztecs in America, gold is written as: tl, which means God’s shit.
In the Yin Di’an tribe, it’s almost the same!
Although he didn't know why they were so dismissive of gold, Xiao Wu quickly asked the guide to introduce their situation and described how prosperous and wealthy they were in the Ming Dynasty.
These salts include cloth, mirrors, soaps, and ceramics. As long as there is gold, you can have as much as you want.
Sure enough, Chief Madarao's attention was drawn to this, and he asked many questions about these supplies.
Xiao Wu took the opportunity to bring out the Ming Empire, and after promoting the power of the Ming Dynasty, he hoped that the Yokut tribe would join the Ming Dynasty's family.
There should also be some writings, and they speculated that maybe the Yin Di'an people really had civilization in the past.
In order to build this altar, considering the productivity of the Yokut tribe, it must have taken a lot of effort, and I am afraid it will take several years to complete it.
They couldn't understand it anyway, so they had them collected and planned to take the tortoise shells back to the Ming Dynasty.
The altar was square in shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It looked like a grain bucket buckled on the ground.
The rest of the time was spent talking about gold. Xiao Wu and Bian Yongkang were far more interested in gold than these animal bones and tortoise shells.
"Old Xiao, shut up, are you still doubting what the emperor said? Be careful if someone gets the news and reports that you are destroying the national unity of the New World, then you will not be able to live with it!" Bian Yongkang quickly lowered his voice and said.
After all, many of the stones above were obviously polished by hand, and they were laid out layer by layer, making them look very regular.
The deputy is named Bian Yongkang, with the rank of captain of the National Defense Forces. He was originally the captain of Jiangxi Green Camp.
But if you look carefully, you can roughly guess some of them. For example, there is a circular symbol, which looks like the sun in the sky.
It is divided into three major sections, and each section has countless small sections, all made of stones, and is more than three feet high.
And why do you feel like you’ve seen these ghostly symbols before somewhere? What exactly are they?
Soon after, these people came over with a lot of things like animal bones and tortoise shells. Chief Spottail pointed at these things and started talking.
The guide translated in the middle, meaning there was quite a lot of gold, but some of it was used as sacrifices and the sacrifices could not be given to them.
"It's very possible. It's better to ask them if they recognize what's written on it."
"Get out of here! You can tell that you didn't pay attention to that history training class."
The guide Yin Ba quickly translated.
"Oracle bones? Are you saying they are the kind of oracle bones that our ancestors used to put on tortoise shells and animal bones to record events? The emperor is not telling the truth!"
Because they surrendered too decisively, they fought with their lives to defeat the Qing army after the surrender. They were considered meritorious, and many officers of Jiangxi Green Camp were awarded military ranks.
Xiao Wu: To the north, are these people raising tortoises?
There are so many tortoise shells in the tribe. How come they are not found in other tribes?
The result is that these Yin Di'an people don't know what it means.
"Old Bian, I found that you can do it and you have a bright future!"
Bian Yongkang took the piece of tortoise shell with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't recognize the ghost talisman on it either.
But the chief didn't say death. If the things were good, they wouldn't be able to exchange the sacrifices first.
Early the next morning, Xiao Wu and Bian Yongkang woke up and looked at the tall altar by the lake.
To this end, they also used the historical training that Zhu Kezang had given them before they came out, and told these people many things about how we all share the same ancestry, and even used the name Yin Di'an to talk about it.
It was migrated from China during the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Xiao Wu was also full of questions. Why did he bring out the animal bones and tortoise shells?
Bian Yongkang was not as senior as Xiao Wu, who had followed Ming Zhengqian during the Yizhou Island period, and his military rank and position were naturally not as high as Xiao Wu's.
"I think it's okay, Yin Ba, please translate it: These are an ancient Chinese writing, but my brothers are limited in their skills and don't know what is written on them. They need to take them back and let educated gentlemen study and decipher them.
Come out and tell them!"
But it has nothing to do with them. Once those tortoise shells and animal bones are deciphered, we may know the origin of these Yin Di'an people.
Suddenly he thought of a possibility, and quickly asked Xiao Wu uncertainly, "Old Xiao, I just remembered it. Do you think this thing could be an ancient oracle bone inscription? I remember when we were training, one of them
I’ve mentioned this before, it’s very similar!”
Xiao Wu looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only call his deputy with a little knowledge to ask.
After the chief Banwei heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. He had another dozen pieces of tortoise shells brought in, leaving Xiao Wu and the two of them stunned for a moment.
But this tortoise shell is quite big, and I don’t know how much it’s worth!
Xiao Wu looked at Bian Yongkang, took a breath and asked in a low voice, is he really the so-called remnant of the Yin Shang Dynasty?
After all, the Yin and Shang dynasties had the most oracle bones.
The guide translated and said that Chief Banwei said that this was something that had been passed down from generation to generation in their clan and that it was related to the secrets of their ancestors. He hoped that Xiao Wu could help take a look at it.
They asked the tribe how much gold they were willing to exchange for, hoping that the chief could exchange it for them.
"Old Bian, come here and take a look. What's painted on this thing?"
"Isn't this for you? Why don't you take it back and show it to the old scholars at Gewuzhizhi Academy?"
But if not, it doesn’t matter. If Ming Dynasty says you are, you are!
Do you Yin Di'an still think that you have the same roots as those red-haired ghosts in Spain?
He picked up a half-broken tortoise shell, and then saw some messy symbols all over it, which looked like some kind of writing.
After all, faith can have a price!
At worst, I can just go to the mountains to pick up gold and come back to smelt it. It's such a simple thing.
Bian Yongkang looked at Chief Banwei with an anxious look on his face and couldn't help but bumped Xiao Wu with his arm.
If by then it is really a remnant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, then everyone will be happy!
Chief Madarao was stunned for a moment, and he had no idea whether what he said was true, but it didn't take long for a few people to come over and tell them to get the things.
The two of them walked down and walked up the steps, and found many things similar to the symbols on the tortoise shells.
But the Yin Di'an people don't have writing?
They only have the language they use now, and no writing has ever been handed down.
It was the group that was almost killed by Leerjin, and then decisively revolted and surrendered to the Jiangxi Green Camp of the Ming Dynasty.
"Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut, but you said I won't."
Following the Ming Dynasty, at least these so-called "Yin Shang survivors" can live a good life and wear good clothes. You know, there are many people who want to become Ming Dynasty people!
If you follow those red-haired ghosts, then you are really finished. What those people want is gold and silver, and it will never be finished unless you strip them naked and gnaw them clean.
Xiao Wu and Bian Yongkang stayed here for three days. They went to the place where gold was picked up and found that there were indeed many open-pit ores.
There is also nugget gold that has been washed away by the river for who knows how many years. After being washed by the water and impurities removed, it is almost pure gold.
Three days later, everyone in the exploration team was carrying a pile of gold products, and the chief's son and dozens of tribesmen were also carrying various gold objects, preparing to barter with the Ming Dynasty in Jinshan City.
