- Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 746 Throughout Madagascar, there are a total of 18 races, and each race has obvious differences.
For example, the tribes on the east coast have obvious black features in their faces and facial features, but their skin color is more like yellow people, and some settlements have Arab features. Their most formal attire is directly Arabic robes, and there are even circumcisions from the Green Cult.
The area where Deng Youzhang and the others are located belongs to the territory of the Sakarawa people.
The population of the Sakarava race is not the largest, but the land accounts for one-third of the entire island.
Decades ago, the Sakarava people established a country in the southwest, named the Kingdom of Malagasy. But the country has collapsed, split into two major allied powers. Under the two major forces, there are many small tribes.
After living on this island for two months, everyone felt that there was no hope of returning home, and they married local aboriginal women one after another.
They dragged three of the ship's guns, all of the smallest calibers. The ones with larger calibers can't be moved at all, so they can only be left on the seashore to be exposed to the wind and sun.
Li Luosheng, the incense owner, became a busy man. He moved the Mazu shrine to the village, and all the married people asked him to preside over the ceremony. Those brown-skinned indigenous women followed the heaven and earth in a muddleheaded way. They only knew that they were going to marry, but they didn't know the meaning of such worship.
?After another three months, the two sides continued to communicate and integrate, and learned some daily expressions from each other, but they still didn't know how to express more complicated content.
One day, the surviving indigenous man approached Deng Youzhang to talk about the matter.
The young man's name is Ka Luo, he is about 1.6 meters tall: "Deng, let's go"
"Where are you going?" Deng Youzhang asked.
Caro pointed to Deng Youzhang's room. He entered the room and picked up one and put it down, and picked up another and put it down again: "Take it, let's go!"
Seeing that Deng Youzhang still didn't understand, Caro became more and more anxious, pointing to the distance and saying, "Go, over there."
Deng Youzhang stepped in that direction, but Ka Luo held him back. Go back to the house, pick up the things, and say: "Take, let's go, over there."
It is not clear at all, no matter whether you use Chinese or the local dialect here, you cannot communicate this important message-migration!
The terrain here is a plateau, and above the plateau, there are many plains, hills and valleys. The aborigines are semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural, and they only live in one place for one or two years.
They would move to fertile river valleys, burn wasteland and plant land, and take their cattle and sheep to the nearby grasslands to graze. In one or two years, or two or three years, the soil fertility will not be enough, and it is necessary to go to the next valley to burn wasteland.
The natives packed up their things one after another, preparing for a migration.
The wife wanted to move out of nowhere, but the Chinese husbands of course refused, and almost every household was quarreling in confusion.
There are only more than 20 surviving adult male aborigines. They can't survive Chinese men. This tribe is already in the hands of the Chinese.
A navy soldier from Guangdong grabbed the soil from the field, found Deng Youzhang and said: "The local people don't know how to accumulate fertilizer, and the soil fertility is getting worse every year. This is similar to the Guoshan Yao in Guangdong. They change places every two or three years, and then start again. Burn wasteland and cultivate land. They must be taught to accumulate manure, and the field must be leveled. What do you mean by stones everywhere in the field?"
"I understand." Deng Youzhang nodded.
In Madagascar, which is a little bigger, some tribes have already built terraces, while others are still slash-and-burn.
This river valley, in Deng Youzhang's opinion, is not bad, and after the migration, it has to work hard to open up wasteland.
He gathered all the Chinese people, and after assigning tasks, they went home and brought out their wives. Some people not only married wives, but even had cheap children.
The Chinese took the lead in clearing the stones in the fields, and the aborigines followed suit in a daze. In fact, they have been tidying the fields for a long time, but there is no such large-scale collective labor. Even the excrement of cattle and sheep in the grassland was picked up and piled up one after another.
Large and small broken stones were picked up from the fields and piled up in the village.
These crushed stones can be used to build walls.
The messy land was tidied piece by piece, and Deng Youzhang even redistributed the land. After regularizing the land, the retting manure was sprinkled on the land to increase its fertility, mixed with a lot of plant ash.
After more than a month of tossing around like this, they organized to dig aqueducts again.
The amount of engineering is not large, mainly because the indigenous people do not know how to do it. There is not even a wooden barrel for carrying water, and all the water is fetched in clay pots. The rice is also grown upland rice, and the yield of rice is much lower than that of rice.
In fact, it is not suitable for growing rice here because the annual precipitation is relatively small.
? The further north the worse, the proper tropical?, both used a lot of slaves. "
"Grazing, keeping slaves, and migrating are similar to the Mongols, but they don't have war horses," Deng Youzhang said. "This kind of tribe cannot be allowed to grow and grow. You have to lead troops to fight. Their slaves are rescued and compiled." Every household is the people. Robbing some more women and children will increase our population.¡±
Deng Youzhang's adaptability is very strong, and he has completely changed his thinking. Many rules of the Datong Army are no longer acceptable.
The entire island of Madagascar is in a primitive society and a slave society. The more powerful the tribe or country, the more slaves there will be.
For example, the Kingdom of Merina in the central plateau is currently the most powerful force on the island, adopting a three-level social structure of nobles, commoners, and slaves.
Deng Youzhang did not intend to raise slaves, but plundering the population was necessary. Especially in the northern grassland area, where there is not much food to grow, the tribes there will invade instead. Then take the initiative to go out, reduce the enemy's population, and increase your own population.
? On the 382nd day after arriving in Madagascar, Deng Youzhang led a hundred troops into battle, taking the first step of their expansion.
