Chapter 349 Little Indigenous
"Don't panic, what happened?" He Yi stood up and asked.
"Sir, there seems to be someone in that place!" the soldier said, pointing to a place.
"You guys, go to the left, you guys, go to the right, and there are not many people hiding in that place, so they will be surrounded." He Yi commanded a small group of soldiers to act, "Maybe they are just some wild beasts."
Soon the team of soldiers was divided into two groups and surrounded from the left and right sides. All members of the pioneer regiment were holding muskets and waiting for the result. However, they were not afraid. On this wasteland, except for the winter snowstorms and hidden swamps, no force could threaten the troops of all four hundred men equipped with muskets. The local natives could gather 400 young men and women who had never seen them.
"Sir, is it an indigenous person or a little furry boy." The small team of soldiers returned from the darkness and dragged a young indigenous person in his teens.
The little native was wearing animal skins, and his face turned red and he struggled, and he still yelled in words he couldn't understand.
"Hahaha, it turns out that it is a little furry, I thought it was a wild beast. If it was a wild beast, we could have a good meal today, right?" He Yi and others laughed, "Let him go, a little furry, there is no need to argue with him."
The captured little natives couldn't understand He Yi and the others' words, so they grabbed a small stone on the ground and threw it at He Yi who looked like the leader.
Fortunately, He Yi was quick to react and avoided the stone with just a step, otherwise he would have really seen blood.
"This little native is really fierce. We have no grudges and grudges against him, and he actually looks like he hates us to the core." He Yi said.
"Do you want to throw this little wild boy into the river to teach him a lesson? Most of the natives here know how to water, so there should be nothing wrong." said a member of a pioneer group.
"Can he be hungry and come to us to find food?" said a kind-hearted member of the pioneer group.
Seeing that He Yi did not hit him, the little native gritted his teeth and stared at He Yi and the others with red eyes.
"Does he really hate us?" He Yi was a little puzzled why this little native always targeted him, "Is there anyone who can understand what he said?"
There was a commotion among the members of the pioneer group, and many of them from the tribes from the Heilongjiang River basin shook their heads slightly.
But a few people soon stood up: "Sir, this person does not speak Mongolian, but more like the declining Turkic language. Although it is a little different from the Turkic language I have learned, I can understand the general idea."
"Yes, our pioneer group has indeed recruited talents who know Turkic language. It turns out that they are descendants of the Turkic people." He Yixi said, "Go and listen to what this little native is saying."
"Most of Siberia are descendants of the Mongols and Turks or have been ruled by them, but this is very good for us. After all, we can find people who understand their language in the southern part of our wasteland." Chen Xiaode was also very satisfied.
After these people who knew Turkic and the little natives chattered for a while, the angry little natives gradually calmed down. People who knew Turkic used Turkic language, which made the little natives feel that they were their own people, and they were considered to have gained the trust of the little natives.
"What is this little native saying? Why does he always have to go against us?" He Yi came over and asked.
However, when the little native saw him, he curled up in panic. The members of the pioneer group who knew Turkic language quickly explained to the little native in Turkic language, and the little native reassured.
"Sir, this child said they were people living near this river. Recently, foreign races invaded this area and stole a lot of their furs. He regarded us as those foreign races, so he became full of resentment towards us."
"There are other alien races near this river?" He Yi and others looked at each other.
Their pioneer group set out from the Heilongjiang River Basin and arrived all the way to the Lena River Basin. Apart from the local natives, they had never seen any pioneer group that was doing the same thing as them. However, the pioneer group they discovered seemed a little more barbaric, and they didn't even bother to do such behavior as bartering, so they simply snatched it up.
"I remember the military leader once said that the Tsarist Russian Empire in the distant West seemed to be doing the same thing as us. Several adventure teams were exploring the east side of the Siberian plain, but they didn't know where to explore. And we were exploring the west side, but we didn't expect to bump into them here." Chen Xiaode said.
"First ask how many people they have and what equipment they have." He Yixiang's subordinate who understood Turkic language gave instructions.
After communicating with the little natives, these people said to He Yi: "These children said that there were about 200 people, including blond and blue-eyed beards, as well as black-haired and brunette people, holding objects like wooden sticks in their hands, and their tribe members would be beaten to death for no reason."
He Yi and others looked at each other, and they were convinced that this group of people were the Russian Russians mentioned by the military leader. However, their expedition team was very fast and had arrived at the East and West Siberia Plain. This shows that in the Central Siberia Plain and the West Siberia Plain, they were already the sphere of influence of the Russians.
"Crass, we have worked hard to explore, but I didn't expect that some parts of the eastern region that only had time to occupy were probably not even able to grab one-third of the Siberian Plain. The western and central regions have been stolen by Tsarist Russians!" He Yi was more puzzled after hearing this.
Originally, Chu Yun sent them here to build a city and a transit station here while no one claimed sovereignty, and to maintain their rule with as little force as possible. However, Chu Yun probably did not expect that the Russians had already entered the Eastern Siberian plain as early as the late Ming Dynasty.
"What's the point? I guess they just built several transit stations along the way like us. As long as we grab them, this is our territory. Under our musket, who dares to say it's not?" Chen Xiaode said without mind.
The members of the pioneer group nodded one after another, saying that was right. No matter whether the Russians' power had penetrated into the East and West Siberia plains, as long as they had force, they would just fight them all the way and take the Russians' territory for themselves!
"The wooden sticks mentioned by the little natives should be the muskets of the Russians. These Russians also have muskets, and we need to deal with them carefully." He Yi said, "Fortunately, the logistics team added a batch of dreiser rifles to us before this expedition. We used a mixed flintlock rifle and dreiser rifle, which should have a considerable advantage over their flintlock rifles and flintlock rifles."
