"How did these four people get together?"

Nikan was a little confused.

But I thought to myself: "They are all from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they are all famous, so it is possible to be together from time to time."

Then he asked, "How long have you been waiting in Xindongyang?"

Gu Yanwu said: "It's only less than two years."

"Oh? I'm going to the east prairie. What can Mr. Tinglin teach me?"

"This..., Khan, don't you want to know why I appeared here? Why aren't I with King Yue?"

"King Yue? Hahaha!" Nikan laughed, "You are all well-educated scholars, and the land is only a hundred miles, and the people are less than a county, so you dare to be the king. With your knowledge, you naturally can't get along with Xu Du. I guess you can seize the opportunity and sneak away. With Xu Du's strength, you can't wait for you."

Gu Yanwu felt a stern, "That sweating desire..."

Nikan laughed and said, "It's okay, just wait in this new Shengzhou. I won't disturb you. However, Missoula in the south is the territory of Daxia. You must restrain the Pingtou tribe and do not go south to harass you."

Gu Yanwu and others looked at each other, and finally he said, "Khan, you really asked the right person. Among the four of me, only I am very interested in the mountains and geography. In the past three years, I have not participated in any war, but I have a good understanding of the eastern grassland."

"Oh?" This is not surprising to Nikan. Gu Yanwu is different from others. He has a special liking for practical learning and has specially written "The Book of the Profits of the Counties and Counties in the World".

"I'm not hiding the Khan, since... occupied the land north of the Yellow River in Daming, the Ming Dynasty lost the horse farm. We came to Yingzhou to join Xudu, one to confirm the records of ancient classics, and the other is to find a new horse farm."

"Absurd! Even if they find a new horse farm, which is nearly 20,000 miles away, how can you use it?"

"What the Khan said is that after we arrived here, we gradually gave up our minds. With the prosperity of the cavalry of the Xia Dynasty and the number of war horses, no matter how many horses there were in the Ming Dynasty, it would be useless. Moreover, when the Ming Dynasty had a large number of horse farms in the past, the Jiannu and Tartar slaves were still unable to catch the strength of the Jiannu..."

"Haha", Nikan interrupted him without hesitation, "You are not waiting for it, but you are distracted and killed Yu Qian, Mao Wenlong, and looked down on Qi Jiguang. It was the result of a great country called the Celestial Empire. Ming Dynasty? Haha, it is not as good as the Southern Song Dynasty. Although they killed Yue Fei, who was loyal to the country, they could still maintain half of the country. Wait, haha."

Gu Yanwu couldn't speak at once. Nikan originally wanted to take out some situations about the eastern prairie from him, but in the end he gave up.

Even if the Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty were some of the famous people, they were mostly those with high expectations. In the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could catch up with Fan Zhongyan, who was known as the Song Dynasty.

Of course, compared with the Qing Dynasty, at least they still had people who could be called Confucian scholars. By the Qing Dynasty, even those who met this title were gone.

There were no scholars in the Song Dynasty, how trustworthy!

...

Nikan left, these people were all talented people, but he didn't want to bother with it too much. As for what Gu Yanwu and the others were going to do here, he didn't want to know. The only thing he knew was, "Even if they were fifty years later, they would hesitate. Under the powerful force and culture of Daxia, they could only bow their heads."

Ten days later, the brigade finally arrived on the eastern prairie.

As soon as he arrived here, Nikan's mood finally became widespread.

In front of me was an endless green area. The green carpet was sparsely dotted with trees, shrubs, hills, and grasses, about half a person tall. After the breeze blew, the yellow, white and red flowers were exposed, and the grizzly bears and wolves lurking inside to hunt were exposed.

The size of those wolves was astonishing. Originally, Nikan believed that in the area where the grasslands and forests were intertwined in the north of Nebchu, the wolves had sheep and deer to eat, and the population was already quite amazing. There were only a few more than thirty heads, usually fifty or sixty heads. But when he rode his horse to a small hill covered with shrubs and weeds, the strong wind exposed the wolves hidden inside that were constantly approaching the buffalo herd, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Their place is located not far from the Forest River, near Augusta, Montana, later generations. The river bank is covered with trees, and further away are shrubs, and outside the shrubs are prairie. Such places must be the favorite place of the beasts.

"One Hundred and Twenty Two!"

Nikan held a telescope, and in front of him, in the grass between the forest and the grassland, there was a huge wolf pack family. With the protection of the forest and the half-human tall weeds, they were very close to the bison and pronghorned antrees in front. He counted carefully and found that there were more than one hundred wolves. If the ones at home were included, they would definitely be one hundred and fifty. Such a huge number of wolves had no rivals at all!

The hunting began, and the wolves quickly showed their strong and shrewd side. They had more than one hundred heads divided into three groups. One group suddenly jumped out of the grass and rushed towards the bison herd, and the other group pounced on the antelope herd, while the third group still hid in the grass and remained motionless.

Not long after, the herd of wild bison and antelope began to run. Driven by the wolves, most of the herds and sheep ran in one direction, but there were still terrified bison, and the wild sheep ran to the place where the third group of wolves were ambushed.

This group is the real main force of hunting!

The previous two groups had only about thirty, and the ambushed group could not help but take care of the area, and the number was as high as more than 60.

The screams of wild bison and pronghorns appeared on the grassland where there was only the whistling wind before.

There were more and more birds of prey gathering in the sky, and the huge figures of grizzly bears appeared one after another. At this time, the two wolves had caught a small number of pronghorns. When they saw the grizzly bears pounced over, they all put down the pronghorns in their mouths and returned to the ambush.

In this way, they "sent" a small amount of prey to the grizzly bears, but they still harvested a large amount of prey themselves.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Nikan couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this scene.

But the gray wolf was not given for free. They soon discovered a group of "animals" nearby that they had never seen before!

It's fine to have horses, but the people riding on horses are also what they fear. The natives of America, even the natives holding obsidian spears, are not able to compete with the wolf pack. However, their huge ethnic group has finally obtained a large amount of prey, how could they give up easily?

The two wolves that had just "felt a shot" slowly approached Nikan and the others, and the main hunting force was constantly howling, naturally calling for more new forces.

Not long after, the grizzly bears in the forest came out of the forest after seeing the vultures in the sky.

"Ten adult grizzly bears and one hundred and forty gray wolves, guarding the ten-mile-long Forest River"

Nikan was a little surprised. How did so many beasts gather together?

Turning to the west, the snow-capped top of Rocky Mountain is very eye-catching, less than thirty miles from the mountain.

Most of these beasts settled on the eastern foot of Rocky Mountain. Now it is a good season for hunting. They temporarily moved to the forest on the bank of the Forest River. After the cattle and sheep here moved away, they had already grown fat and strong. They just returned to Rocky Mountain to spend the winter. In winter, there were still a large number of deer and goats to eat.

"Bang!!!"

The flintlock rifle was fired in the hands of the guards near Nikan. Then, the flying dragon cavalry under Etuhun rushed over with a tiger rifle.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 wolves who had touched him ran away after half of their bodies were left. However, they would not leave easily on the hunting battlefield occupied by the main force.

Nikan ignored them, and he would not have any energy to enter this prairie in the next ten years, and he would not have the energy to enter. In this case, keep them and dance with the natives.

This large prairie includes the three Canadian prairie provinces in later generations, Montana, Wyoming, Dakota, and Nebraska. It covers an area of ​​nearly two million square kilometers and is also high-quality pastures. If a nomadic tribe saw it, it would definitely be smiling.

In this way, they went north, hunted, and drew maps along the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountain. Finally, a month later, in early July of the eighth year of Dongxiao, they arrived at the junction of the United States and Canada in later generations, and the place where the Blackfoots flourished.

At this time, it was midsummer, and most of the Blackfoot people were hunting further north, and only a few Blackfoot people stayed. As soon as they saw Nikan, the powerful cavalry team, was shocked.

"Bogda"

I heard that after the team in front of me was known as the "Bogda" division, an old man who stayed in the tribe grabbed Nikan.

“In the east, there is a big battle”

Under An Ning's translation, the dark-faced old man was talking.

However, compared with the tribal languages ​​west of Rocky Mountain, the languages ​​of the tribal languages ​​east of Rocky Mountain are very different, not to mention the black-footed people who migrated from central Canada before?

Fortunately, the language of the Blackfoot man is 60% similar to that of Nezper. After all, An Ning finally understood the meaning of this man.

"Your Majesty, this old man should be talking about it."

"At present, Xu Du, the leader of the southern Blackfoot, King of Yue, cough cough, the Blackfoot here calls him Teskatripoka, which means a god with a divine beast, but Xu Du only has dozens of divine beasts under him, and His Majesty is the real god. After hearing that 'Bogda' is also the god of heaven, he asked me to go east."

"In the five-day journey to the east, your Majesty and the natives are good at running. They can walk about eighty miles a day, and five days are four hundred miles a day. There is a big battle there. The Blackfoot, Xudu, and Tatanka are fighting a very powerful tribe in the east. The name of this tribe is... Su."

"Siu?"

Nikan immediately reacted.

"Your Majesty, Su is the name given to them by the surrounding tribes. They call themselves Lakta, which means similar to Texas. Friends means a powerful tribe on the eastern prairie. According to this old man, the black-footed people and the Nezpers are not their opponents in the combined."

Nikan nodded. This Lakta is actually Dakota, which is the tribe that lived in the north and south of the United States in later generations. Not only that, they also occupied Nebraska and eastern Montana at this time.

However, the eastern grassland is vast. According to the hunting level of the natives, the animals here should be inexhaustible, and the tribes should be peaceful. Why did they fight? What's more, the three major tribes were killed in a group?
