The bay of Jinshan is clear, light blue with some translucent green. The sea outside the bay is a deep blue.
The sunlight falls on different water surfaces and reflects the rippling waves, just like the two people's mood at the moment.劚
"Lord God! Mickey, you...you promised the structure and construction of the longship to the North Bay Department?!" Exploration Captain Zuvalo's eyes widened, like the deep sea, looking at the knowledgeable man. Mickey.
His mood was up and down, he grabbed Mickey's arm and spoke in a deep voice, like the low roar of the sea.
"Damn it! If the Miwok people learn how to make longships, then the kingdom will have an advantage in ships in the North..."
"No! Zuvalo, building a longship is not that easy!" Mickey the Knowledgeable shook his head and interrupted seriously.
"Witness the Lord God! The Miwok people don't have any metal tools. It's difficult for them to process large wood and build large ships! With their production capabilities, even if they understand the longship, they can only imitate a slightly larger canoe. Let them It won't hurt us to have better boats for better fishing and transportation... they are our allies!"
"Allies? How many days have we been forming an alliance? It's the same in the Yipa tribe! Mickey, you trust these northern tribes too much!..." When Yao mentioned the alliance, the exploration captain Zuvalo was obviously disapproving.
After all, he did not believe that these thousands of tribes in the north really had the strength and qualifications to form an alliance with the kingdom.
"Zuvaro, the blood oath covenant is witnessed by the gods and ancestors! It is based on the trust of both parties, in the hearts of both parties!...You don't regard them as true allies and bring real beneficial help...They How is it possible to treat you as a real ally and come to help you?" Mikey, the knowledgeable man, pursed his lips, his eyes full of clarity, just like the bay of Jinshan.
"Mutual trust is mutual, and no one is a fool!... Zuvalo, the teachings say that the tribes in the North are our Jiao people brothers who separated thousands of years ago! Since we say so, we hope to reintegrate with the brother tribes... Then We have to really do this and treat us like brothers, then they will regard us as compatriots and be willing to unite with us!"
"The teachings of the Lord God... Brother Jiaoren..." Hearing this, the exploration captain Mickey raised his brows. He looked into Mickey's sincere eyes and was silent for a while before sighing helplessly.
"Hey! Mickey, treat the tribes in the North as brothers and treat them like brothers. What you said is indeed correct, and it is also the tenet of the kingdom. But..."
"Um?"
"O God! This man has lived a long time and seen a lot, and he has turned into a fox. That cedar shaman is really an old fox. He eats you cleanly, just like a turkey..."
"Zuvarro, Cedar Shaman has never used force to suppress others. He has always been in equal exchange with us." Mikey, the knowledgeable man, frowned and explained.
"The fleet has sailed thousands of miles, and when it gets here, there are already many damages. To repair the long ship, we need strong wood... If we have to cut and process it ourselves, we don't know how long it will take! Now there is wood readily available in the North Bay. With human hands, it only takes more than ten days to complete the repair!…”
"What's more, as the kingdom explores the north, it will soon encounter the predicted storms and waves. At that time, the need for repairs will become more and more frequent... With the Beiwan tribe, a large tribe that provides wood and manpower, If we train a group of shipwrights who can repair ships, the fleet's exploration will be much smoother!"
"Timber and manpower...the stronghold for ship repair..." Hearing this, the exploration captain Zuvalo opened his mouth, unable to refute for a while.
After a while, he pursed his lips and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Mickey, it's not difficult to use the situation to pressure others. What's rare is that you really know what you need and what we need! Cedar Shaman is such an old fox!..."
"Food, translation books, guides, covenants, intelligence, tokens, ship repairs... He grasped our needs for northward exploration. Every condition we could not refuse was beneficial to both parties! And with these conditions for cooperation, he He also gained the knowledge he needed and left many opportunities for the future..."
"This is the scary old fox! He is also the number one person among all the ministries we have encountered since we went north!" Hearing Zuvalo's emotion, Mickey the Knowledgeable thought for a while.
He thought of the old but tough old shaman who worked tirelessly to learn writing, language and mathematics from him day and night, and couldn't help but nod in admiration.
"Zuvarro, you are right, he is indeed an outstanding person! But no matter what, the help he brings to the exploration fleet is practical and unprecedented! He can enable our northern exploration, Speed up a lot!”
"As for how his tribe develops and leaps forward with the help of the kingdom's knowledge and technology, that's their business!" When Yao said this, the knowledgeable Mickey's thoughts drifted away, his eyes flashed brightly, and his voice also Got excited.
"His Majesty the Divine Enlightenment has said that there are two continents in the world, the North and the South, with tens of thousands of miles of land! And in those lands, there are countless tribes with black hair and yellow skin, as well as countless outstanding people! In the entire world, those who have courage There are so many heroes and wise men! They just lack the current situation and a little enlightenment..."
"The invasion of white-skinned evil spirits will not happen once or twice, nor will it happen every year or two! They will come in a steady stream from the northern continent to the southern continent! In order to resist them and protect the tribe's land , to protect the entire world, we must establish an alliance for the entire world and become the leader of the tribes in the world!..."
"From the extreme north to the extreme south, as long as it is a place where the kingdom's fleet arrives, His Majesty will not be stingy in the spread of knowledge, technology and new crops! He only hates that the tribes in the northern and southern continents are not developing fast, and will not hide it. Waiting, watching them stay where they are, being destroyed and eliminated by the white people..."
"The powerful Mexica Alliance, the leaping lake kingdom, will become the leader of the entire world and the beacon of the north and south coasts, leading all the tribes in the world to keep galloping forward!..."
"Ah! His Majesty's ambition! The leader of the world!..." Hearing the loud declaration of Knowledgeable Mickey, exploration captain Zuvaro clenched his fists and punched his chest hard.
His whole body was warm, and his heart was burning with excitement, like a fire. And the surging pride, like the boundless tide, surged in his chest!
劚
"Mickey! You're right! That's very good! We have to do what His Majesty said!..." After a while, Zuvalo calmed down.
He took a deep breath for a while, then looked at Mickey and asked with some confusion.
"Mickey, when did His Majesty say these words? Why don't I remember... You're not making it up, are you?"
"Zuvarro, with my knowledge, can I make up such a statement?" Mikey, the knowledgeable man, raised his eyebrows and responded solemnly.
"This is what His Majesty said to the accompanying Divine Priests when he was in the alliance's lake capital a few years ago. At that time, the Alliance wanted the kingdom's cannon-casting technology, so His Majesty summoned the Divine Priests, discussed it, and made He taught the decision of forging cannons hand-in-hand! And at Shenwei University, facing the children of noble chiefs from various tribes in Colima, the kingdom did not hide it, but also taught them the techniques of searching for mineral deposits and smelting metals..."
"Moreover, before heading north this time, His Majesty also sent a message: The tribes in the northern continent are our brothers and compatriots. There is no harm in making them stronger and living a better life! ... The land in the north is big enough. It can accommodate many powerful tribes, alliances and even kingdoms. And if there are big nobles who want to establish a feudal kingdom in the far northern continent, he will also support it!..." Yao
"Ah? Establishing a feudal kingdom in the northern continent?" Upon hearing the news, exploration captain Zuvarro's heart moved, and he vaguely grasped something.
He was still thinking about His Majesty's profound meaning, but Mickey grabbed his shoulder again, interrupting his contemplation.
"Zuvarro! From the Cedar Shaman, I also learned about the climate in the North... We must go to sea as soon as possible!"
