Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1848 - 1332: Do It, Zu! Wipe Out This Southward Tribe! (Part 2)

With such meager income, if you don't use the sword and spear in your hand to do some "sweeping the barbarians," "demanding tribute," or "killing the innocent for military credit," let alone getting married and building a house, just eating and drinking enough each month would be difficult! Of course, officials at all levels are aware of this situation, so they usually turn a blind eye to the plundering and slaughter by the soldiers. Some even personally lead the team to plunder and mingle with the soldiers, just like the "Liaodong famous general," "Godfather Old Slave" Li Chengliang who was born thirty years later...

In such a situation, if Zuwaro really appeared in the vision of the Liaodong Border Army with four to five hundred jin of gold, equivalent to seventy to eighty thousand taels of silver, equal to the annual income of more than twenty thousand border soldiers, intending to do some "tribute trade" with the Ming Dynasty. And he is still in the identity of a barbarian chieftain with only one boat and sixty to seventy people... the scene is simply too beautiful, it is really unimaginable!

By then, even the current Liaodong Chief Soldier Li Gao might have to close his eyes and take ruthless action, deploy three hundred horse armor-clad house servants to smile and accept this windfall, and not leave a single survivor!

"Chief Divine! What is the appearance of the southern Ming Dynasty? ... In this mountain forest full of man-eating predators, will there really be a beast that eats vegetations? ..."

After five days of thinking, Zuwaro finally calmed down. He dared not take risks, dared not gamble on the Southern Great Tribes, dared not gamble on the attitude of the Ming Dynasty's "border tribes"!

The Kingdom spared no expense and transported over twenty thousand miles, took several years to send this little ship and manpower. This is the Kingdom, and it is his only capital. He simply cannot lose, nor can he afford to lose. Under unequal circumstances, not to mention any equal or peaceful trade, that is simply impossible and unrealistic. If he rashly establishes contact with too much strength disparity now, it means delivering his head into someone else's hands for them to decide life and death!

"Chief Divine protection! The most urgent thing right now is to strengthen the Kingdom's power in the Western Sea, and forge alliances with local tribes... And the craftsmen and livestock urgently needed by the Kingdom, on the southern side of Maoshili Great Island, the Insect Mountain Clan where the Japanese are not considered strong, is a safe and reliable source! ..."

"As for the Fish-Skin Tribe here..."

Zuwaro blinked and looked at the Maha Agudah in front of him, as strong as a brown bear, suddenly showing a genuine smile.

"Agudah! Brother-in-law! My close brother! ..."

"Sss! ... Zu! Boat-Using Chieftain! Sly fox! What are you trying to do? ..."

"Sell me a few of your Jurchen Stallions! ..."

"Impossible! Horses are our partners for fighting and killing, and also helpers for migration and transportation! We don't even have enough for ourselves, how could we sell to you? ..."

"I will trade with food you need, with the drinks you like, and with the ironware you lack! ..."

"Impossible! Without horses, when we encounter an unexpectedly appearing tribe, we are likely to not be able to defeat them! If we can't beat them, the Maha tribe will be gone, and having more food will not be useful! Even if we defeat them, without horses, the tribe will have more warrior casualties, losing too much strength... so, horses absolutely cannot be sold! ..."

"... Then trade the tribe slaves, those dozen strong men, all to me! Food to eat, wine to drink, ironware for battles, all can be traded! ..."

"You want our tribe slaves? Willing to trade ironware? ... This? ... Let me think about it ..."

Upon hearing, Maha Agudah hesitated. These tribe slaves have endured for half a month, and it's estimated that after another half month, they can be roughly used, that is, to become ready warriors of the tribe.

In this cruel era, the northern cold forces countless forest tribes to move southward, with endless fighting along the way. Since there is fighting, naturally there will be casualties, tribes will be annexed. When the population being born cannot keep up with the frequency of losses, absorbing tribes for marriage or as captives naturally becomes the choice of each tribe!

For the south-moving Tungusic barbarians, all captured male slaves go through this process: they start from captured tribe slaves, at first endure their rebellious nature, become ready warriors of the tribe, then undergo tests of common hunting and battle, and finally formally join the tribe, becoming members of the tribe! And when they have children with women in the new tribe, this brutal integration is completely accomplished...

In this way, the southward tribe migration and fighting are also accompanied by tribe integration and strengthening. It's like an invisible big hand gradually molds each scattered "Wild Man Small Tribe" into the named "Shengshu Jurchen Big Tribe"!

For example, the over two hundred members Maha tribe, when first moving south had only a few dozen people, and even had no tribe name. After decades of frequent marriages, fighting and annexation with other tribes, the Maha tribe gradually grew to over two hundred people. Then, the previous Great Chief, Maha Agudah's father, named the tribe after "Big Mahayu," finally creating a newly born, named "Great Tribe"!

And further south, the collision of various south-moving tribes results in larger Shengshu Jurchen Tribes. Like the "Hurkha," "Valka," "Sahalien," "Sarhacha," that have left names in history in the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River, these newly formed Shengshu Jurchen Big Tribes are now famous, reaching scales of hundreds and thousands. And these recently formed Shengshu Jurchen Big Tribes can field hundreds of fierce barbarian soldiers, with their beast-like ferocity and fearlessness making the various Shushu Jurchen Tribes wary, forcing them to migrate to avoid...
