"At 34 degrees north latitude, the narrow coastal area and mountain valley where the Chumash people live is the Kingdom's Sanshan Port. When the support fleet arrived, Ke Yuan and Ke Jie were surprised to find that this valley port by the river mouth, It is not the 200 people in the report, but has expanded to more than 800 people! Seeing that this supply port is almost ready to be established from a village to a town. And the first-level priest Kebao who presides over this port is also Will definitely be promoted to level two..."
"Praise the Lord God! Priest Kebao only took fifty warriors and initially established the kingdom's management order in a narrow valley with a radius of more than a hundred miles around the mouth of the river. And those loose and primitive Chumash people only had a few dozen people. The tribes also accepted the faith of the Lord God, moved to the port and planted rough fields. There is no doubt that the development of the kingdom here is a kind of enlightenment of the Lord God! The simple and blank minds of these Chumash people converted to After gaining faith in the Lord God, they became extremely devout. They carefully followed the teachings of the priests and assistants, learned the farming techniques of the Kingdom, and planted potatoes brought by the Kingdom. After last year's autumn harvest, they saw with their own eyes that from With abundant food harvested like never before, their faith returned the same and became stronger!…”
"The support fleet replenished some food at Sanshan Port and unloaded a batch of bronze weapons and tools, and even some iron farm tools. Priest Kebao took several young aides from Chumash and asked for support to the fleet, leaving He wanted to hire some craftsmen who could build ships. He wanted to open up a fishing industry for the port where the tribes gathered. At the same time, he also wanted a few elite scouts to further explore the Northland tribes in the East and West mountains and the upper reaches of the northeast. …”
"Ke Yuan and Ke Jie expressed their support, and left dozens of kingdom warriors and sailors, supplemented by some Chumash tribal sailors. If there are dozens of people like this in the surrounding mountains and the upper reaches of the river, For such a large tribe, the port of Sanshan Port can obviously be expanded even further! In fact, the priests of the kingdom have already discovered that the smaller the northern tribes are, the more loose and ignorant they are, and the less food they produce, the easier it is to spread. The belief in the Lord God will be more easily absorbed and assimilated by the Kingdom!"
"The 35th degree north latitude is the oak tribe of the Salinan people. The 36th degree north latitude is the coastal tribes of the Costanoan people. Ke Yuan and Ke Jie told me that between Sanshan Port and Xishan Port, these thousand The multi-mile, moist coast suitable for planting seems to have been initially determined by His Majesty as a place of exile... The kingdom is likely to exile the southern noble chiefs and noble warriors of the tribes that lost their land after the Shenzhan conquest here! After all, , this 7,000-mile west coast is too vast and desolate, and is full of dense forests. To develop this coastline, it is necessary to obtain as many manpower as possible, especially those who master farming and construction techniques..."
The red clouds are dark and the clouds are drifting and foggy. Seeing this, Knowledgeable Mickey and Exploration Captain Zuvalo looked at each other, their minds a little confused.
"Zuvarro, I'm a little worried... If the kingdom exiles the noble warriors from the southern tribes to the west coast, it will inevitably trigger conflicts between them and the local tribes!..."
"Witness the Lord God! Mickey, you don't have to think too much. This kind of conflict between tribes is completely controllable. The exile of the southern tribes to the north can bring better farming technology and open up more corn fields and potato fields. , and feed more people! The exiled nobles already have a small population. Only by marrying, annexing, and assimilating small local tribes can they slowly expand. After all, both the northern and southern tribes have yellow skin. The descendants of the Jiao people can integrate very quickly... The exiled nobles and warriors can also bring better construction and manufacturing technology, and build towns everywhere, allowing this wild and vast west coast to be truly developed. !…”
Hearing this, Mickey the Knowledgeable was silent for a long time, then lowered his head and said softly, "Yeah." He secretly made up his mind to formulate a clear set of order rules for the colonization, exile and development of the west coast, as well as for the marriage, annexation and assimilation of tribes, and even eventually incorporated them into the kingdom's teachings!
"At 38 degrees north latitude, in the vast Jinshan Bay, is the kingdom's most important port on the west coast, the ever-expanding Xishan Port! There are already more than 1,300 people in the entire port, one-third of whom are warriors from the kingdom or southern tribes The remaining two-thirds of the sailors are the Miwok, Costanoan, and Yokut people who converted and joined. In the process of the kingdom recruiting local tribes, the help and appeal of the Cedar Shaman are really crucial. Important. And the Beiwan tribe, with more than 10,000 people, has become the kingdom’s most powerful tribal ally on the entire west coast!…”
"Witness the Lord God! Xishan Port cultivated and planted many potatoes on the plains and hills beside the lake, and it also obtained a good harvest last year. Although the potatoes in the Kingdom are small, they are not picky at all and can be planted on the hills. It's also very long. As long as the tribes in the North land get this kind of crop, there is no one who doesn't like it. Among all the tribes, the North Bay of Cedar Shaman has the largest area for growing potatoes! They occupy the The agricultural conditions in the Cat River Valley (Napa Valley) are very good, and the yield of potatoes is very high, which even amazed the missionary priests sent by the kingdom!…”
"Praise the Lord God! In addition to the development of agriculture, a small shipyard has also been established in Xishan Port. This simple shipyard can currently only build catamaran war boats and slightly larger fishing boats. It also has It is impossible to build a galley longship, but there are enough craftsmen and materials to repair the longship! Here, Ke Yuan and Ke Jie saw many Miwok carpenters and shipwrights, all of whom came from the North Bay. . The Beiwan Department even sent many young nobles to study the kingdom’s writing, calendar and Ali Sutra in Xishan Port..."
"Blessed by the Lord God! The North Bay Department is developing so fast, and the yearning for the glory of the Lord God is far beyond our imagination! Under the guidance of Cedar Shaman, the Miwok people's North Bay Department met the Xishan Port where the kingdom was based. They are just like beans that have found corn. They are closely entwined with the port of the kingdom, learning everything from the kingdom, and constantly gaining support and strength for growth!…”
The island hangs in the white sea, and the long wind comes from the ice field. Mickey the Knowledgeable pursed his lips, thinking of the wise and knowledgeable Cedar Shaman, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face. He pondered for a moment, looked at the thoughtful exploration captain Zuvalo, and whispered.
"Zuwaro, after the second batch of huge Kingdom support fleet arrived at Xishan Port, Cedar Shaman immediately sent a messenger to greet him. And shortly afterwards, he personally rushed to Xishan Port and met with the second-level priest Ke Yuan had a long chat!…”
"Huh? Mickey, is it possible that the Ke Yuan priest staying in Xishan Port is related to the Cedar Shaman?..."
"It's very possible! No, it must be so!"
Mickey the Knowledgeable nodded affirmatively. He thought for a while and then spoke seriously.
"Blessed by the Lord God! Cedar Shaman has been able to converse proficiently in Nahua with the priests of the fleet, and can even recite most passages of the Ali Sutra. He is very strong and very curious about the southern kingdom...Listen What Kejie means is that the Cedar Shaman intends to take the returning longboat and go to the Kingdom of the Lake to meet His Majesty! He is willing to hold a ceremony in the Kingdom of the Lake to formally convert to the main god...and the priest Ke Yuan is happy to facilitate this as he arrives. The first dazzling achievement after reaching the west coast of the northern continent!..."
"What! In just one year, Cedar Shaman learned the Nahua language and Kingdom script, and became proficient in the Ali Sutra?!"
Hearing this, exploration captain Zuvalo was shocked. On the one hand, he was surprised by Cedar Shaman's language talent; on the other hand, he was amazed by the other party's sensitivity and courage to change.
"O Lord God! If the Cedar Shaman really arrives in the kingdom, meets with His Majesty, and takes a blood oath to convert to the Lord God... then as the most prestigious tribal shaman in the northern continent and the first to convert, Your Majesty will definitely not be gracious. He will be rewarded, and it is even very likely that he will be directly promoted to a glorious fourth-level priest!..."
"Yes! If so, the powerful Beiwan tribe can completely join the Lake Kingdom in the form of an independent fiefdom... and the fate of the entire Miwok tribe will also usher in a turning point! The kingdom may not need to use any force. You can bring all the tribes along the Golden Bay into the order of the kingdom, and set an example of peaceful assimilation for all tribes... With the blessing of the Lord God, may your glory shine among the mountains on the west coast!"
