Bu He took the binoculars and looked ahead.
"It really is. Judging by the appearance of these people, they should be wild Nuzhen." A trace of surprise appeared on Bu He's face.
"Go over and have a look!" Zhao Wen said as he controlled the horse and walked forward.
Bu He, Li Xiaosan and their personal guards hurriedly followed behind Zhao Wen and headed forward.
The distance between the two was getting smaller and smaller, and the people who were scraping the bricks on the city wall also heard the sound of horseshoes.
They stood on the top of the city and looked in the direction of the sound of horseshoes. After they saw it clearly, they panicked instantly.
They dropped the bricks in their hands, picked up the bows, arrows and spears placed on the city wall and hurried towards the broken city wall behind the city wall.
But no matter how fast they are, they can't compare to the speed of war horses.
"Go, rush over!" Zhao Wen flicked the whip in his hand, rushed into the city gate, and met these people who were about to run out.
These people looked at Zhao Wen and others rushing into the city gate, and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the rear.
"Surround these people!" Zhao Wen shouted, controlling his horse and chasing them.
After a while, these people were surrounded by Zhao Wen and others.
Although these people had bows and arrows and spears in their hands, they didn't dare to attack Zhao Wen and others at all.
They threw the weapons in their hands on the ground, hugged their heads, and knelt down, not daring to look at Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen rode on the horse and carefully looked at these people.
There are fourteen of these people, all of them are basically men, varying in age. The oldest one has gray hair and looks like he is in his 70s or [-]s, while the youngest one looks only [-] or [-] years old.
They were covered with buckskin and wrapped their bodies in it.
They had bare feet and no shoes.The face is also full of dirt, and the real color cannot be seen.
Their hair is also similar to that of Jiannu. It is estimated that Jiannu forced them to do so when they ruled them.
"Looking at this, it should be the Wild Nuzhen." Zhao Wen jumped off the horse, looked at these people, and murmured.
Bu He also jumped off his horse, "That's right, these people should be the wild Jurchens, these people probably regarded us as Jian slaves, and they were frightened into such a state when they saw us.
Also, for so many years, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have really brought disaster to these wild women. "
Hearing Buhe's voice, Zhao Wen shouted to these people: "Where do you come from? Where do you come from? Is your tribe near here?"
Zhao Wen called out several times, but none of these people responded.
They buried their heads low, their bodies trembling constantly, and they dared not speak.
"I guess they don't understand what I'm talking about. These people are wild Jurchens, and they probably don't understand Chinese. You tell them that we are not Jian slaves and we won't hurt them. Let them raise their heads and ask them where they live. Where, where is the tribe, what are you doing here." Zhao Wen pointed to these people on the ground and looked at Buhe.
Bu He nodded, then squatted in front of these people, and began to ask questions in Jurchen language.
Buhe is Huang Taiji's father-in-law, and he often deals with slaves, so he can also speak Jurchen.
Regardless of whether it is a mature Jurchen or a raw Jurchen, their language is similar, but the intonation is slightly different, which is equivalent to a dialect in Chinese.
When Bu He's voice fell, the eldest among these people raised his head and looked at Bu He with fear.
"Is what you said true? Will you really let us go? Before, you withdrew from here, and we thought you didn't want this city, so we wanted to pick up some bricks and go back to build a house. It's going to be winter soon."
The older Ye Nuzhen looked at Bu He and said tremblingly.
When he finished speaking, he hurriedly began to kowtow, begging for mercy while kowtowing.
Not only him, but the people kneeling next to him also began to kowtow non-stop.
Buhe translated these words to Zhao Wen.
"Sure enough, they regard us as Jian slaves." Zhao Wen suddenly understood that these people regarded them as Jian slaves.
Looking at these people who kept kowtowing, Zhao Wen said to Buhe: "Tell them our origin, and then tell them that Jiannu has been defeated by us, and then tell them that we will not hurt them."
Bu He nodded and translated Zhao Wen's words.
"We are not Jiannu, we are not Nurhachi Huang Taiji's people, we have defeated Jiannu, and we have wiped them out. Don't worry, we won't hurt you, just don't worry.
We are from Xuanzhen, does Xuanzhen know?Xuanzhen is Daming, and we came from Daming.The city here is not ours, don't be afraid, we will not harm you, where is your tribe? "
The older wild Jurchen looked at Buhe with doubts on her face.
"Get up!" Bu He said again.
However, no matter how Bu He persuaded them, these people just couldn't get up, they just knelt on the ground like that, unable to get up alive.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Wen felt dizzy.
"My lord, I'm afraid these people don't believe our words, what should we do?" Bu He stood up and looked at Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen frowned and pondered for a while, and after a while, Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan, "Go get some canned food and give them to eat."
After hearing Zhao Wen's voice, Li Xiaosan hurriedly ran outside.
Not long after, Li Xiaosan led seven or eight soldiers to Zhao Wen.
Li Xiaosan and these personal guards jumped off the horse, took a sack from the horse's back, and put it on the ground.
These burlap bags contained canned food, but they were not heated.
Zhao Wen pointed to the cans on the ground and said to Li Xiaosan: "Open these cans and look at the appearance of these people, they probably haven't eaten, let them eat first.
I still don't believe it, if we do this, they will treat us as slaves. "
Li Xiaosan nodded, squatted down, opened the cans, and placed them one by one in front of these wild Jurchens.
The fragrance wafted out of the can, wafting non-stop.
The heads of these wild Jurchens were buried low, and the halazi flowed out.
Even so, they still dare not look up at the cans on the ground.
"Tell them, this is for them, let them eat." Zhao Wen looked at Buhe.
"This is food for you. Eat it. It was rewarded to you by adults. Don't be afraid, eat it." Bu He looked at these people and said.
However, no matter what Bu He said, these people dared not eat, but kept swallowing.
"Eat, do you want to eat? If you don't eat it, you won't give me face, or the chief soldier. If you don't give me face, if you don't give the chief soldier face, then you are courting death."
Buhe persuaded for a long time, but these wild Jurchens still dare not move.
Buhe became angry after persuading them, and finally drew out his waist knife and shouted at them loudly.
These wild Jurchens who were kneeling on the ground buried their heads even lower, their bodies trembling non-stop, still not daring to move.
"I've lived so long, and I've never seen such a stubborn person. He's a savage, a savage." Bu He cursed angrily as he looked at the savage Jurchen who was motionless. "I really want to hack you all to death, what a waste, a waste."
Cursing and cursing, Bu He took the waist knife back, took out the big black star that Zhao Wen had given him, and shot towards the sky.
"If you don't eat it, you're going to die."
The gunshots echoed in place, and to these wild Jurchens, the gunshots were like thunder from the sky.
When the gunshot rang out, it almost scared the wild Jurchens to death.
Amidst Buhe's roar and gunshots, these wild girls finally picked up the cans on the ground tremblingly.
When they took a bite tremblingly, their eyes lit up instantly.
When they tasted something they had never tasted before, they excitedly put death behind them, no longer afraid of these people, and began to eat without hesitation.

Chapter 527
"There's salt, there's salt in this, there's salt in this!"
After taking a sip, these wild women couldn't bear it any longer, and they started to eat the canned food wantonly.
These wild Jurchens live in the mountains, and usually eat prey from hunting, but because of the lack of salt, eating meat is like chewing wax.
When they ate the canned food, the salty taste filled their mouths instantly.
"It's so fresh, it's so fresh!"
The wild Jurchee devoured the canned food like a wolf, and did not forget to lick the soup inside after eating.
After they finished eating, Bu He looked at them and asked, "Now do you believe that we have no ill intentions towards you? If we had any ill intentions towards you, do you think you can eat such delicious food?"
"Believe it, I believe it now." The leading wild Jurchen nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"What's your name? What are you doing here? Where is your tribe? How far is it from here?" Bu He asked.
The leading wild Jurchen said: "My name is Aji, and I am the leader of the tribe, our tribe is not very far from here.
We came here to get some bricks to build a house. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and if there are no houses built with bricks, many people will freeze to death.
In the past, the man who managed us was called Morgan, and he was the highest official here. We have to pay them taxes and provide young people every year.
But a few months ago, they left suddenly, and we don't know where they went.Originally we wanted to wait for them to come back, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't come back. We saw that they hadn't come back, so we wanted to get some bricks from here. "
Aji looked at Buhe and told his situation in detail.
Buhe translated Aji's word for word to Zhao Wen.
After listening to Bu He's translation, Zhao Wen said to Bu He, "Tell him, let him take us to their tribe. I want to visit their tribe."
After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiaosan, "Order the whole army to set up camp on the spot and wait for us to come back."
Li Xiaosan cupped his fists at Zhao Wen and ran to the rear.
After Li Xiaosan left, Bu He translated Zhao Wen's meaning.
"My lord is going to visit your tribe, you don't have to worry, we have no malicious intentions. You can take the bricks here as you like, Jianu has already been defeated by us.
Jiannu is the one who informed you that these people will never come back again, we are from Daming, don't worry. "
When Aji heard that Zhao Wen was going to their tribe, he hesitated.
Aji thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "I can take you there. You say you are from Daming? I heard the elders in the tribe say that Daming is thousands of miles to the south of us. The elder said Daming is the best place in the world, where everyone has clothes to wear and food to eat.
And I heard that our place was under the management of Daming before, but we have never seen this Daming, nor heard of this Daming, and we don’t know if this is true. "
After Aji finished speaking, Buhe translated Aji's words to Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen pointed to Aji and said to Buhe, "Tell him, this place will be managed by Xuanzhen in the future, and everyone will have clothes to wear, everyone will have food to eat, and they won't have to hunt in the deep mountains anymore." .”
Bu He nodded, and translated Zhao Wen's words to Aji.
"Responsible to Xuan Township? Then do we have to pay taxes in the future? Do we still have to provide you with youth? Can you let us pay less taxes?" Aji looked at Buhe expectantly.
"Tell him that they don't need to pay taxes for the time being, and we'll talk about it later." Zhao Wen pointed at Aji and looked at Buhe.
Bu He hastily translated Zhao Wen's words.
When Aji heard that he would not have to pay taxes for the time being, he jumped up excitedly.
"Our tribe is not far from here, I'll take you there!" Aji yelled at Buhe, then pulled up the tribe who was kneeling on the ground, and walked out of the city.
When they left, Aji and the others did not forget to bring the canned food they had eaten.
Zhao Wen looked at Aji who was leaving, and said: "Go, follow up and have a look. In the future, we will compile a yellow book for these people and include them all. Let's take a look at their situation now to prepare for the future."
"My lord, these people are all savages. What's the use of them? They don't even know how to use a hoe. It's useless to have these people." Bu He looked at these wild Jurchens with disdain on his face.
Although Buhe was from the grasslands, even though the Central Plains people looked down on them, this did not prevent Buhe from looking down on these wild Jurchens.
From Buhe's point of view, these people don't know how to farm, weave, or forge iron, and they can only shuttle in the deep mountains and old forests. Bringing all these people here is just a burden, and it is useless at all.
"Why is it useless? These people are more familiar with the terrain here than we are, right? Moreover, although these people look wild, they are not serious savages. It's just that their living environment and way of life are backward. If you give them some help , will become our help.
Besides, there are so many people in the world, is it possible that every time we conquer a place, we kill all the people in that place?This is not acceptable.
As the old saying goes, the barbarians who enter China are Hua Ye.As long as he agrees with us and our culture, no matter what ethnicity he is from, he is still ours. "Zhao Wen looked at these wild Jurchens who were leaving, and said to Bu He with earnestness.
In Zhao Wen's view, although these people are all wild Jurchens, there is no friction or hatred between the wild Jurchens and Daming.
You can use any means to deal with Jiannu, but you can't deal with these like you deal with Jiannu.
In Zhao Wen's view, the best way to deal with these people is to assimilate them with culture.
After Nuergandusi is re-established, officials will be sent here to organize these people to cultivate food, speak Chinese, and write Chinese characters on the land of Nuergandusi.
If things go on like this, within a hundred years, these people will become almost the same as the Han people.At that time, who knew that they were wild men and wild Jurchens before?
