In fact, the fact that the Indians from various villages were able to come to this conference room in the fort today represents their trust in the overseas corps of Beihai Town.

In the eyes of these Indians, these outsiders of the same skin color as themselves did not rely on the fearful weapons in their hands to bully the tribes, and made very fair and reasonable transactions, much better than the Spanish.

In the past, they used to exchange a pot of at least ten beaver skins from missionaries or fur merchants, and a sharp dagger costs fifteen, and muskets could not even be thought of. But now they only need to use half or even less beaver skins to exchange for the same items, and there are more and better types.

What is particularly valuable is that these outsiders in Kinmen Town respect their tribal beliefs. They also worshipped the wolf god and the eagle god in their temples, which made the Miwak people feel both novel and touched.

The bad things the Franciscan missionary has done over the years have made the Miwack people extremely disgusted. Although they have resisted, how can the bow, arrow, stone axe in their hands resist muskets, cannons and spears?

Since the tribe where Catata is located, everyone has witnessed the power of the guns and cannons of the overseas corps with their own eyes, and has also seen the mountain of food brought by the "Thor" and the "Java". After a little consideration, they collectively made the decision to stand on the side of the overseas corps and fight against the Spaniards together.

For the request of the Miwauker people to obtain firearms, the condition for Kinmen Town is to participate in military training. As long as they become a tribal militia, they will respond to the call during wartime, and each person will have two muskets, one long and one short, a belt made of cowhide and a short sword; the squad leader can also be equipped with an additional officer's sword and a metal breastplate.

Since defeating the Spanish army's invasion, Kinmen Town now has the most lack of various hot and cold weapons. There are as many as thousands of flintlock guns and flintlock guns seized from cleaning the battlefield, as well as thousands of halberds and swords, leather jackets and breastplates, etc., which are piled up like mountains. For this reason, Ruchi had to build several warehouses on the open space on the west side of the fortress to store these things. In addition, on the south of the Lonely Mountain in later generations, a large open space was surrounded to raise captured war horses, pack horses, cattle and sheep. Those responsible for caring for those animals were Spanish prisoners of war.

Several other Miwauk tribes saw that the first one to eat crabs could get so many benefits, and decided to join, and sent young and strong men to participate in militia training. For them who only rely on hunting and gathering for a living, with muskets, it will be easier to obtain prey; if there is enough food, children and elderly people in the village will not starve to death in winter and spring famine.

In this way, the Miwaukers were completely tied to the chariots of Kinmen Town and formed a close alliance with each other. Although their main purpose was to fight against the Spaniards and obtain more materials through trade with Kinmen Town, since it was an alliance, then marriage was natural.

However, after the translation was finished, the Indians present were shocked by the dowry gift given by Kinmen Town. If they still didn't agree to such a condition, they would definitely be a super stupid one. But when they were excited, they thought again, is there a fifteen-year-old unmarried girl in the village?

There were thirty-five Indians present today, 28 villages belonging to three tribes. The population of these villages is nearly 300, and the fewer are more than 100. If the age standard for girls is reduced to two or three years old, it would be fine to select more than 100 unmarried women from thousands of people. But the fifteen-year-old indigenous women are all children!

Speaking of the fact that Indians in primitive society developed earlier, and girls had reached the age of marriage at the age of twelve or thirteen. They usually entered puberty after they were ten years old, and the tribe would hold an adult ceremony, allowing them to enter a special hut, live alone for 15 days, and pass the menarche period. When the solitary life ended, it means that the girl has grown up and can get married.

In fact, the increase in marriage age in human history is not only due to changes in ideas, but also the increase in average life expectancy is a very important factor. In a society with an average life expectancy of less than fifty or even only forty years old, genes will force people to develop and mature in advance to increase labor force, and early marriage and early childbirth becomes inevitable.

Even in modern times, in some primitive tribes in Africa, there are many people who get married and have children at the age of eight or ten. Since survival is in danger, reproduction of blood is the first priority.

If Beihai Town had not improved its productivity through large-scale use of agricultural machinery and equipment in the past ten years, and spared no effort to improve the level of education and medical security, the 16-year-old marriage and childbirth would have been just empty talk.

The air in the conference room seemed to have solidified, and all the representatives of the village felt that this was difficult to deal with. While pondering, some people looked at each other and then started whispering in a low voice. Almost all the conversations of these people were just about to go to another tribe to grab a group. The key is to grab who is better?

The Apache tribe has many people and many powers to defeat, and even the Spanish dare to fight. Why don’t you choose Vala? But everyone’s relationship was pretty good in the past, so it’s hard to start! Or are the Ruizen people in the south?

Of course, there are also many Indians present. Their idea is that they have the final say forty-five, just like their own girl just passed the thirteenth this year, but what if I want to say fifteenth? Indian girls develop early, and they can't tell at all that they are one or two years old.

Li Shi didn't know that these natives would have so much thought for a while. When he saw that everyone was talking in groups of three or five, he said that our bride price was already very generous, and he was not satisfied yet?

Thinking of this, he asked Suke, the translator standing beside him, "What are they talking about?"

Su Ke listened for a while, then explained in plastic Mandarin. Li Shi was stunned when he understood. He got married at the age of twelve or thirteen. What a joke! This is not about finding a wife, it is clearly about finding a child bride!

Speaking of which, the medical system of Beihai Town has been promoting health knowledge to the people through the grassroots medical system over the years, so that women should not have children before the age of seventeen. You should know that fertility is a very dangerous thing before the female pelvis is fully developed, and surgery on the belly is simply terrible for people in this year and every sounds cunning.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. After Li Shi reported this situation to Ruqi, Ruqi felt that he should not make any marriages. He might as well wait for the Li Dynasty to immigrate to come. If it weren't for the group of North Koreans on the south bank of the Tumen River that the committee said before had not arrived, he wouldn't have come up with such an idea.

However, at this point, he was no longer going to do it if he didn't want to. That afternoon, the tribe where Katata was located sent an envoy to pass on the message, asking Kinmen Town to pick people tomorrow. Ruqi was unable to ride a tiger, so he had to give Li Shi, who reported the situation, to work hard tomorrow, bring a team of people, and get some gifts.

Li Shi was very depressed. There were so many officers in the base who didn't look for him and insisted on letting him do the matchmaker and pulling the line. When he called Su Ke, who was the translator, and told him to follow him to the opposite side of the strait tomorrow, Su Ke was very happy. He had been in Kinmen Town for almost a month and missed his family very much. However, he had just left the barracks and retreated.

Seeing this, Li Shi asked casually: "What else is there?"

Suk walked up and asked with some complacent words: "Sir, do you want a woman?"

"Nothing! I have a wife!"

Of course, Li Shi had a wife, his son was two years old, and he showed Su Ke the photos, which shocked the other party. But in Su Ke's opinion, your wife is on the other side of the sea, wouldn't it be nice to find another one? So he smiled and said, "Chief, one wife is not enough, three are not too many. We chief, four wives!"

“…”

After saying that, this guy narrowed his eyes and looked at him not talking. He thought the other party was moved, so he plucked up the courage to introduce: "My sister, sixteen years old, just died of husband and a son, do you want it?"

"Go out!" Li Shi was almost angry by this guy and waved his hand to signal him to get out quickly!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The anchor point Zhao Xin chose for himself was the "fortress park" located in another time and space. In order to avoid his sudden disappearance and scary appearance, he chose the specific location on the lonely mountain more than 400 meters southeast of the fortress park. This place is called a mountain, but it is actually a small mountain bag with an altitude of more than 100 meters.

When the sun was at its peak at noon, there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the streets at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Xin was wearing a large plaid short-sleeved shirt and jeans, a pair of tactical boots, a baseball cap and sunglasses, and a pair of simulated beards on his neutral and chin. He walked to a trash can at the intersection of the Lonely Mountain, drank all the mineral water in his hand in a fake manner, and then threw the empty bottle into the trash can.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Xin had already observed the surrounding situation carefully. When a car slowly drove past him and drove more than 200 meters, he no longer hesitated and quickly drilled into a bush on the hillside behind him...

“Ah~~~!”

Zhao Xin, who had just returned to the 18th century, was not doing anything, but heard a woman's scream coming from beside him, and then a big foot wearing boots kicked his calves hard. Unpredictable, the guy groaned and fell forward, rolling down the hillside for a few meters before stopping.

Zhao Xin, who had eaten a mouthful of dirt, felt his right leg numb. Just as he was about to get up, a hard and cold object was pressed against the back of his head. Then a man with a slightly southern accent sounded: "Don't move! Hold your head with both hands!"

I'll take a look! Zhao Xin's first reaction was that he was so angry. The commander of the three armed forces in Beihai Town, the future emperor, was actually captured by someone with a gun! His sunglasses were also dropped and he didn't dare to look at the other party, for fear that they would recognize him, so he lowered his head and hugged his head and said repeatedly: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's his own! Be careful of getting angry!"

Just now, a tall black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, which scared Katata so much that he screamed. He Xianyang beside him was also shocked, but because he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he instinctively raised his foot and gave it to him.

Katata did not return to the village last night, but lived with a few girls who came with them in the tents of the same villager in the trading market. It was a market during the day, but at night it became a campground. It was surrounded by wooden walls and fences. There were soldiers standing guard all night on the sentry towers of nearby fortresses, which were quite safe.

When the meal was in the fort at noon, He Xianyang did not go to the cafeteria, but brought it out in lunch boxes. Because there were many people in the trading market, the two of them ran to the hill where they often came. They just sat down and hadn't eaten yet, Zhao Xin came.

He Xianyang, holding a revolver, heard the other party saying Mandarin, and his first reaction was to confirm that the big man was his own. Because whether he was a Spanish prisoner of war or an Indian, the Mandarin was not as casual as he spoke, and he also had the unique voice of Beihai Town.

He Xianyang looked at Zhao Xin from head to toe and saw the boots on the other party's feet. He was sure that his own people didn't run away. Only those from Beihai Town have such boots... By the way! The Katata also has a pair, which was given by himself.

He felt that the tall man in front of him looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. As soon as a face appeared in his heart, he immediately instinctively denied it again.

Just kidding, how is it possible!

He Xiwen put away the revolver and said angrily: "Get up. Are you from the engineering team? Why are you here?"

"Hehe, don't you want to find a higher terrain to see the sea?" Zhao Xin let out a long sigh and deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice. While he was getting up, he had already seen the military uniform on the other party, and he glanced at the terrifying alien girl not far away from the corner of his eyes.

Unexpectedly, when he stood up, He Xianyang and Katata were shocked again, thinking that this man was so tall. He Xianyang was 1.6 meters tall, and Katata was a little over 1.5 meters tall.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you two continue, I'm really sorry!" Zhao Xin had no time to delay, and was afraid that He Xianyang would see the flaws. He tilted his head and raised his hands over his left shoulder, hugged the two behind him, and endured the pain in his legs and walked quickly towards the fortress to the north.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who is this? Where did it come out?" Katata looked at the back that was constantly moving away, walked to He Xianyang and grabbed the other party's hand.

"It should be a guy from the engineering team. I guess he was lazy and napping just now. He was reckless!"

"He's really tall."

"Yes. It's quite tall." He Xianyang said smoothly, and began to recall who was a big man in Kinmen Town.

Zhao Xin walked out more than 200 meters in one breath. Seeing that the Kinmen Fortress was getting closer and closer to him, he stopped and bent down and rubbed his knees a few times, and then carefully looked at the fortress.

Unlike the red tiles and white walls of buildings in another time and space, the Golden Gate Fortress in Beihai Town almost completely reproduces the "Middle East US Military Base" in another time and space movie.

The entire Kinmen Fortress covers an area of ​​nearly 30,000 square meters, slightly larger than the four standard football fields in later generations. The exterior wall of the fortress is made of "foldable explosion-proof walls" made by Beihai Town. Each unit is 1.2 meters high and one meter wide. It is filled with canvas bags and sand and gravel. After filling, it can be stacked upwards. The Kinmen Fortress has three layers of built-in. Outside the wall, silver-gray explosion-proof wall panels covering the front wall are installed.

When Ruchi and his team were preparing before departure, considering that Kinmen was full of sandy soil, neither hard stone nor trees, the Spanish fortress would not have been an adobe building. After some discussion, they finally decided to follow the example of the US military base, use explosion-proof walls, and use movable houses inside.

From the outside, the buildings inside the fortress are very tall, and they are all gray-white square buildings. Inside each side wall, there are four ten-meter-high mattresses, all of which are built with steel pipes and angle steel, and there is a small house for observation and observation on the top.

At this time, on a sentry tower inside the fortress wall, Ruqi was stroking around with a telescope. According to what Zhao Xin said in the telegram, the other party should have arrived today. But I don’t know what time it will be and where it will come.

After lunch, he couldn't sit still, so he took the guards to the sentry tower and wandered around. Thinking that if he was condescending, Boss Zhao would be able to discover it in time if he came.
Chapter completed!
