"God bless you! The Kingdom's support fleet replenished some food in Xishan Port, repaired the long ships that came along the way, and exchanged three old long ships in good condition. There are four Kingdom long ships stationed in Xishan Port The ship is the largest Kingdom port on the west coast! Subsequently, the support fleet retained sixty or seventy Kingdom sailors, added the same number of Miwok sailors, and continued north. In fact, there was a constant exchange of sailors along the way. , which can make the fleet more adaptable to the environment of the North, and also help increase the proportion of the Kingdom headquarters in various ports..."
"At 39 degrees north latitude, the Pomo Bear Hunting Tribe is a large tribe of 3,000 people, occupying a vast estuary, coast and mountain forest. The Bear Hunting Tribe has a very friendly attitude towards the kingdom. One of the main reasons is that the Cedar Sa Secondly, it is due to the kingdom's strong strength and the continuous emergence of huge fleets and warriors. The last and most important reason is the kingdom's continuous supply of southern trade goods that the Bomo people are eager to demand. , including 'rare' lake gems, precious metal axes and spears, and practical cotton cocoa!…"
"Like the mountain and forest tribes in the East, the farming level of the Bear Hunting Tribe is still very primitive and cannot provide much food for the fleet. However, this powerful tribe has many strong Pomo hunters who are good at hunting in the forest. There are also a lot of furs traded during hunting. In the mountains and forests around the tribe, there are a large number of towering redwoods, firs, oaks, and white pine, all of which are excellent timber... Therefore, the goods that the Bear Hunting Department can provide are a small amount of food. , a moderate amount of furs, a large amount of wood, and tribal hunters that can be recruited!…”
"With the nod of Xiong Feng, the chief of the Bear Hunting Department, the support fleet left a first-level preaching priest Nolan and several young aides from the kingdom to spread the faith of the Lord God in the Bear Hunting Department and teach them how to grow potatoes. .At the same time, the support fleet is also here, using metal tools and weapons to recruit a dozen strong and tall Bomer hunters as a supplement to the crew. Their strength is really not small, and their stature is obviously higher. Cutting off, especially good at throwing spears!…”
"At 41 degrees north latitude, the Kingdom's Huwan Port is built around the Huyuan Department of the Viyot people. It currently has a population of more than 500! Most of the population of Huwan Port comes from the surrounding Weiyote people who converted to intermarriage. The Yotes are a model of the assimilation and integration of tribes in the North! The missionary priest Sibee, who is in charge of the port, has built a large shack and wooden house, as well as a stone temple for the main god. And his leader’s wife Tulan has just gave birth to their first child! As for the other kingdom warriors and sailors who stayed in the kingdom, they all married local Viyot women, and many of them had children!…”
"Praise the Lord God! On behalf of the kingdom, the second-level priest Kejie expressed the blessings of the Lord God to them and left many metal tools. Later, he took two hundred warriors of the kingdom and more than ten baskets of rich gifts to personally I met with the kind and kind old leader of the Huyuan Tribe, Tu Jing, and persuaded him to convert to the main god!... Finally, the old leader Tu Jing nodded in agreement, took the tribe leaders, participated in the conversion ceremony, and converted to the belief of the main god! And two or three The Lake Garden Department of thousands of people has since embarked on a bright and positive path!..."
Night falls over the land, and bonfires are lit in the mountains. The hunting cold wind blows from the north, bringing the coldness of October in the Far North. White Bear Gaowa set up a clay pot on the campfire, dug some snow cubes into the pot, and threw in a large piece of frozen salty whale meat. She glanced at the two "chiefs" who were attentive, thought for a while, took out a small bag of refreshing herbs, put them in a clay pot, and cooked them together.
"Blessed by the Lord God! The honest Huyuan Department has taken refuge in the Lord God!...Bliss, delicious grilled eel..."
Mickey the Knowledgeable's eyes flashed, remembering the delicious grilled eel from the Lake Garden Department, and couldn't help but lick his lips that were dry from the cold.
"Lord God! I don't know when I will be able to return to Huwan Port in the south... No matter what, it must be eight or nine thousand miles away!..."
"Well, let's calculate the series of supply points set up along the way. From Huwan Port to Gaoshan Port, there are ten voyages and eleven ports in between... It should be exactly ten thousand miles!..."
Exploration captain Zuvalo smiled and shook his head, looking a little sad. After this ten thousand-mile journey, they will continue to head west, and they don’t know how many years will pass before they can return again... Perhaps, these ten thousand miles of danger and danger, and the endless waves, will completely swallow them up, and they will never have the chance to return...
"Yes! Next to Huwan Port are Nangang and Beigang!..."
Mikey, the knowledgeable man, was startled for a moment, and touched Vicissitudes' chin, his eyes also a little dazed. By the orange bonfire, he looked at the voyage diary in his hand, as if he saw the past that had been developed and the future that would eventually prosper!
"Praise the Lord God! Not far from the bay of the lake to the north, just a day or two's sail away, is the towering God's Enlightenment Tree. Priest Kejie led everyone to hold a prayer ceremony on the coast where the God's Tree is located, and then paid tribute again to North. At 42 degrees north latitude, there are the Sequoia Tribe and the Leaf Grass Tribe of the Tolowa people who are hostile to each other. These are two large tribes with thousands of people, and they have attracted a number of small tribes from each other. In the years of fighting, they gradually formed The prototype of the tribal alliance..."
"The arrival of the kingdom's fleet of more than 700 people greatly shocked the two large Tolowa tribes. On behalf of the kingdom, the priest Kejie stayed for a few days and met with Ye Cao, the chief of the Ye Cao tribe, and Da Mu, the chief of the Sequoia tribe. Expressing the Lord God's bright kindness and his expectation to mediate the conflict between the two sides! But his final gain was only to establish business relations with two large tribes, obtain permission to spread the Lord God's faith, and obtain the two tribes' permission for longship transit. Peace guaranteed... The hatred between these two large tribes has accumulated for many generations and may not be easily quelled. Likewise, the two large tribes fighting each other value human beings very much, and the kingdom cannot recruit brave Tolowa warriors. We can exchange weapons for some prisoners of war..."
"At 43 degrees north latitude, the quiet bay where the Kusi people live is the southern port of the kingdom. In just one year, the port of this kingdom has grown from a population of sixty to seventy to more than 300 people! Obviously, a full belly The bad-water Zuwaro taught many messy methods to the Keshu priests who managed this place. The warriors and sailors stationed in the kingdom used deception, sneak attacks, temptations with gifts, and even seduction with wine...each of them married several people. A Kusi woman. And these small tribes with semi-matrilineal inheritance, like iron motes attracted by a magnet, gathered dozens of miles around Nangang, estimated to number six or seven hundred..."
Seeing this, exploration captain Zuvalo touched his nose unnaturally. He coughed twice and explained in a low voice.
"Miki, the Lord God bless you! In order to spread the glory of the Lord God, for the prosperous future of the kingdom, and to enlighten the ignorant tribes in the north... the devout warriors and sailors of the kingdom are willing to make hard and hard 'sacrifice'!... Praise the Lord God! Let our bloodline be closely integrated with that of our fellow Jiao people in the north, regardless of each other!..."
"Ha! Integrate tightly, regardless of each other?... Zuvalo, you are really good at it!... Uh..."
Hearing this, Mickey the Knowledgeable grinned and laughed. But when he saw the newly grown up White Bear Gaowa next to him, who was cooking, his voice suddenly dropped. After a while, he rubbed his cheeks and sighed.
"Witness the Lord God! Intermarry with the northern tribes, merge with each other's blood, and then convert the beliefs of the relatives to the right path of the Lord God... It is indeed the fastest way for the kingdom to develop on the vast west coast!... It's just that, the kingdom is loyal Warriors and sailors came here to marry wives and have children, and it was impossible to go back! And throughout the kingdom, how many loyal warriors and sailors were able to migrate thousands of miles to this vast and desolate west coast and settle down ever since? Woolen cloth?…"
Hearing this question, exploration captain Zuvalo narrowed his eyes and remained silent. He understood what Mikey the Knowledger meant and could understand the other party's concerns.
The two fleets heading north brought nearly two thousand young warriors and sailors from the kingdom. And these people are all selected from each county. They are the most devout believers and the most loyal and obedient to the kingdom! Even if there are tens of thousands of Dingkou in various counties of the kingdom, there are definitely not many such backbones.
Therefore, it is impossible for the kingdom's subsequent support to maintain such crew quality forever. And whether it is the exile of nobles or the migration of tribes, many unreliable people will be introduced... By then, the order on the west coast may not be so stable and harmonious! …
"Blessed by the Lord God! With a huge fleet in hand, the kingdom also controls the lifeblood of the west coast, and will not be challenged by any tribe or fiefdom! The Lord God's faith will eventually spread throughout the North! And when we arrive at the western continent, Just like His Majesty’s divine prophecy, we will surely obtain four-legged riding beasts that roam the land, and huge ships that connect the coast!…”
I've been a little busy these past two days, and I'm also a little lacking in energy. It's a new month, a new beginning, so I have to work hard to update!
