Chapter 949 Lango Lango
As soon as everyone landed on the island, they heard shouting and fighting in the distance. So Zhang Fan and others led the pirates to a highland to check the situation. On the plain at the foot of the mountain, more than a thousand indigenous people are fighting! Some indigenous people who were captured by their opponents were slaughtered unbearably. Those indigenous people who slaughtered their opponents actually ate these prisoners raw before the war was over!
Even the Maori from New Zealand and Tahiti are frightened. Although they have eaten the enemy's meat, they can't wait to eat like this. At least have a barbecue. Are they all hungry?!
Zhang Fan and the book demon looked at it for a long time and found that one of the indigenous people fell into the wind. According to past experience, helping the fallen indigenous people defeat their opponents will gain more respect from them. Therefore, Zhang Fan and Wang Cuijiao discussed it, and then led the Chinese pirates and Maori to shout and rush down, attacking the indigenous tribes that had already prevailed from behind!
Zhang Fan's book demon and Xuanyuan star took the lead with Willis. Willis was the most excited to encounter such a sneak attack. The engine roared and rolled four rounds down the hillside. While charging, he raised his cannon and fired thunderbolts, creating chaos in the center of the battlefield. Willis is the best at dealing with these indigenous people!
Of course, there is no suspense about the result. The party that originally had the advantage was immediately overturned by the opponent due to the joining of a group of new forces! But strangely, the winner did not chase and fight, killing the absolute hand. He just howled and chased hundreds of meters and then stopped the army. Then start killing the prisoners! Its cruelty stunned Zhang Fan.
After communication, Zhang Fan found that the indigenous people here were also Maori. Because Maori from Tahiti can talk to them normally. It is puzzling why the same race behaves so differently. But after communication, it was learned that more than 2,000 Maori were concentrated on the island, divided into five tribes. Due to the food shortage in recent years, in order to solve the food crisis, we will come almost every three months, otherwise everyone will starve to death.
But since this island can't afford to raise so many people, why don't Maori migrate? The local indigenous people said helplessly because everyone was carving a huge stone statue called 'Moai', that is, the famous Easter Island stone statue! Because large trees are needed to carve and transport these stone statues, all the trees on the island have been cut down, and even the trees for shipbuilding are gone, so they cannot be migrated. Only squeezing on this desolate volcanic island and waiting to die.
The locals themselves can't explain why people made such a huge stone statue. It's just that the stone statue of your own tribe must surpass that of other tribes, otherwise you will lose to others and be bad for your own tribe. Like this victory, the tribe has the right to overturn the carved stone statue of the losing party from the altar by the sea. Especially the stone statues of tribal leaders and priests with red volcanic hats must be overturned!
Zhang Fan's book demon smiled helplessly, which was obviously a primitive comparison psychology. It turned out that the reason for the mysterious Easter Island stone statue was so simple. Perhaps it was the first to create the show-off of the stone statue tribe, which led to the construction of various tribal leaders in the future. In just a few hundred years, this small island is covered with thousands of huge stone statues.
Because the Maori on Easter Island spent all their energy on building stone statues, they abandoned farming and breeding, and even couldn't even build a big wooden boat to fish at sea, which was a ridiculous result. However, aren't human beings in the real world wasting their experiences in unnecessary places, showing off their vanity, poor soldiers, wasting energy, destroying forests and trees, destroying nature, and forgetting the fundamentals of sustainable development?
When Willis heard that he could destroy the stone statue that could destroy his opponent, he immediately roared happily and jumped to the stone statues by the seaside. He turned over and turned into a bull-headed monster, which was comparable in size as the smallest stone statue. The big bone stick in his hand was knocked and beaten, and the electric light sprayed on the horns, and the cannon thunderbolts roared, knocking several stone statues and bombing them into pieces!
If it hadn't been for the rise of this guy's destruction, the stone statues made by the rescued tribe would have been destroyed and stopped by Zhang Fan. I'm afraid it would be comfortable to destroy all these stone statues. However, it seems that the stone materials of these stone statues are not hard and seem to be made of porous and light volcanic rocks. It's not as heavy and strong as it looks.
Zhang Fan did not hesitate to recruit many Maori on the island, but their treatment was probably not so good, because the cabins of the four large ships were limited, which could only squeeze these Maori. These Maori, who have long been suffering from hunger, are happy to follow Zhang Fan's fleet, even if they can only be stuffed into the narrow cabin like slaves, as long as they can be full!
However, on the coast of South America, the fleet can cut down some big trees and build several simple ships in the dense forests of South America. These Maori are masters of shipbuilding and sailing, and when they go to South America, the next sea can travel along the coast without any difficulty. It doesn't matter if the ship is simple.
Zhang Fan is like John. Hawkins was as greedy as buying black slaves, and tried his best to get the Maori who were willing to leave Rapanui on board the ship. Because these Maori will be the first loyal immigrants to hide in the Caribbean. And the next voyage is not as long as expected. With the reminder of the book demon, the fleet can reach the Isthmus of Panama, from there to the Caribbean coast by land.
The narrowest point of the Panama Isthmus separating the Pacific Ocean from the Caribbean Sea is only 50 kilometers. From there, it only takes one day to go ashore from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea. Zhang Fan can arrive at the Caribbean hiding place in advance and inform the 'Caribbean Union' to send a large ship to pick it up. However, Panama is now a Spanish colony, and it is estimated that it will take some time to pass from there.
The four sea boats were like four canned sardines, full of Maori who wanted to live a new life. Zhang Fan even considered whether to sell part of it to the Caribbean to make some money. Anyway, population is the first element for development. Zhang Fan now has four hiding places and needs a large population to develop.
What's more, although these Maori are very civilized, they can grow cash crops, fish and hunt, and fight as pirates. And loyal and reliable, just have a wizard and priest to cheat. Life requirements are very low, which is much more affordable than European immigrants who are smart but have high life requirements and are lazy.
The book demon also gained a lot. He got a batch of 'Lango-Lango' in the two tribes, these large wooden slips similar to hieroglyphics, more than two meters long and more than ten centimeters wide. Even the Maori people in Tahiti and New Zealand can't understand the content written above, and the book demon naturally doesn't know it. However, under the singing of the locals and the deciphering of the book demon, I finally understood the meaning of some words. The words on these wooden slips are cattle farming bodies. One line is from right to left, and the next line is from left to right. It needs to be read around, which is very troublesome.
But after understanding it, it is disappointing. Because most of the contents written on these large wooden slips are daily life and describe tribal battles. For example, in this tribal war, the leaders of the sweet potato tribe taught the leaders of the sugarcane tribe and ate many warriors of the other party. There are also some early Easter Island fishing harvests.
Zhang Fan and Xuanyuanxing thought these useless things, but the book demon read them with relish. Because what he cares about is not the content, but the origin of these words and the connection with other civilized words. Moreover, the book demon finally found a wooden text describing magic in a pile of wooden slips of daily life. Although there are only a few words, it is full of profound and obscure philosophy.
The book demon consulted Zhang Fan. Because of the classic meaning of Buddhism, there are many concepts of primitive magic. Zhang Fan, who is deeply immersed in this, is more thorough than the book demon who understands the teachings of Christianity. Because monoritic religions such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism are very exclusive to primitive polytheisms. People who are opposed to gods or great powers other than God are generally opposed to it, and believers can't understand it. But in fact, even if these great powers are not gods or do not recognize them as gods, their ability and wisdom cannot be ignored.
However, the worldview of the three worlds and six Taoism in Buddhism includes these gods from heaven, the demons of the Asura, the ghosts of hell, the spirits of the beasts, and the humane sages, and explain their origins and abilities, as well as their origins. Exhibition and destruction. Treating all kinds of things equally and objectively explaining the form of all sentient beings is the fundamental difference between Buddhism and other religions. No matter what your origin is, as long as you finally realize it, you are a Buddha.
Of course, we cannot deny the positive nature of monary religion, because the starting points and methods for educating all sentient beings are different. The monastic religion's confinement education for believers, that is, there is no god but God, is also to prevent believers from being exposed to evil and foreign **, resulting in practice going astray and falling into the abys of thought. Similarly, in Buddhism, there are also practices that eliminate ten thousand thoughts and recite Buddha wholeheartedly.
Along the way, in such mutual proof ideas and research and discussion of magic, the fleet has unknowingly arrived on the coast of South America. Zhang Fan and the three measured the latitude and longitude and obtained location information. This is the coast of the Inca Empire. According to the established plan, Zhang Fan will leave the fleet and drive the wooden gull to the Caribbean hiding place to seek a response. The fleet sailed north along the coast of the Inca Empire in South America to the Isthmus of Panama.
