Chapter 399 shelter
The northern bank of the Huntong River, the tributary of the Hanmao River, travels in the middle of the east sheli tribe. It is probably located in Birobizhan, who was later in life.
Originally, this was a small tribe with about 100 people. After several rounds of expansion, the population had reached 300. However, compared with the larger tribes in the north, their number was still not enough. Fortunately, they had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty and often went to villages designated by the Ming Dynasty to trade, so they lived a pretty good life.
Moreover, because of the protection of the Ming government, those tribes did not dare to bully them.
How could anyone who threatens Ming Dynasty rest on the side of the bed?
There are almost all tribes that are protected by the Ming Dynasty and completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the large tribes in the north uniting and then suddenly happening, these small and medium-sized tribes would have warned the Ming Dynasty long ago.
At that moment, the arrival of the group of people in the Dongsheli tribe made the small tribe nervous.
"King, after taking over that group of Ming people, you have to be careful of the revenge in the north." An elder in the tribe said worriedly to the clan leader Dongsheli.
Although they did not know the news that the large tribes in the north attacked the south bank of the Yangtze River at the beginning, now as some tribes transport supplies back without any concealment, they also know some of the situation.
At the same time, some tribes that usually move closely also received news that several large tribes had asked them for tribute.
In this forest that is beyond the limit, for thousands of years, small tribes have had the rules of paying tribute to large tribes. Before the Ming people came, they had always abide by this tradition. It was not until they accepted the protection of the Ming Dynasty that they traded with the Ming Dynasty by bartering, thus eliminating the tribute to other tribes.
This is a great blessing for Dongsheribu.
After all, the large tribes had great power to kill small tribes in the past. For example, when large tribes had wars with other tribes, their subordinate tribes had to participate in the war. If they avoided the war, they would be the first one to be destroyed.
But if you participate in the war, you will not be able to avoid death or injury. The large tribes use these small tribes as cannon fodder. Once the young and strong tribes in the tribe suffer too much, there is a risk of being incorporated into the large tribe.
Therefore, Dongsheli tribe leader Dongsheli and even most people in the tribe are grateful for their existence. In addition, when they are bartered, raw salt, cloth, canned food, grain and other items have been greatly supplemented.
There have also been great improvements in the quality of life. Some large tribes in the north are not closely related to the Ming Dynasty and are not qualified for trade or the amount of trade is extremely severely restricted. They will turn to these small tribes for exchange.
In this way, the business of the second dealer started.
This earth-shaking life also furthered the gratitude of these small tribes to the Ming Kingdom.
When Tian Run and his party escaped from Tian Tian and came to Dongsheli to take refuge, Dongsheli accepted them without hesitation.
However, the movement outside finally affected the tribe. A few people who were afraid of trouble wanted to drive Tian Run and his party out. There were also some people who were obsessed with greed and tried to cross the river with those large tribes in order to catch up with the troubled waters.
"The Ming people have a deep affection for our Dongsheli tribe. We can bless a few Ming people to repay their kindness. Your words are like the evil wolf who repays grudges with grudges, so don't mention them again." Dongsheli refuted to the clan leader without hesitation.

Although people in the forest have a little primitive life and have limited contact with the outside world, they still understand the most simple rewards.
Of course, this is also related to the strong image that Ming Dynasty has always maintained!
In the forest where the strong prey on the weak, there is no morality that comes from any fist. Dongshe has been to the city of Mingren, and deeply knows the wealth of Mingren. He is also fortunate to observe the army of Mingren, and is completely shocked by the powerful aura it shows.
Therefore, at any time, he warned himself not to make evil with wise people.
While they were talking, a white candle in a steep bark house in the village was placed on the only table, and the light as big as rice grains illuminated the small space.
Three people squeezed into this small room, Tian Run lay on the wooden board covered with dead leaves, his face pale. He tested inside his right leg, wrapped in a circle of rag strips. Little blood oozed out of it, but was injured when he was attacked.
"We can't just stay here like this!" Tian Run said in a low tone.
"But now I'm afraid it's too late to go back to the camp!" Wulinha responded in frustration. He was a naturalized citizen, and his original tribe was on Gelan Road. Under the leadership of the clan leader, the tribe defected to the Ming Kingdom, and the entire tribe was broken into pieces and placed in the new immigrant village of the entire Ming Kingdom.
This resettlement method is also a fear that these tribes will join forces to keep warm after being moved. So it is better to completely break them up from the beginning, which not only facilitates the assimilation of the Ming Dynasty, but also enhances the binding force of the government.
"Don't go back to the camp, go to the city and report to the officials. If you encounter any villages that have suffered on the road, you will inform them together." Tian Run explained: "This attack by the people is too abnormal. The government must be vigilant enough. I wonder if you see that, when we first came to the Dongsheli tribe, they didn't seem to know the news of the attack on the south."
"Is there anything strange about this?" Orzer said in confusion.
His reminder was also very important when he escaped from birth. Otherwise, Tian Run would not have been willing to use the fire tube to shock the people of tribes who had never seen the world so early. But the forest was too big, and everyone was panicked when they escaped.
Therefore, at the beginning, there were about ten people, and after crossing the river, there were only three of them left.
Wulinha had more knowledge, but immediately thought of the key point and said: "Those people have learned to cover up!"
You should know that the small and medium-sized tribes along the river in the north are along the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the Ming Dynasty treats them preferentially is that they are thinking that they will report the movements and things in the north in detail.
But now, the small and medium-sized tribes in the north are completely unaware of anything.
Perhaps other tribes had one, but they did not inform the Ming government in the south. At least they were the workers who built roads by the river, and they would not know that they would encounter an attack. Otherwise, the Ming government's behavior would have long nipped this risk in the cradle.
The ability to block the attack news like this at least means that this attack is not simple. If it involves instigation or arrangements from other forces, it will be even more troublesome and it is not something that workers with limited force can deal with.
