Chapter One Thousand and Twelve: The Voyage Diary of the Learned Man, Summary of the Far North Coast, Eight Ports with the Word 'God'
"God bless you! After the Kingdom's support fleet arrived, facing the 700 Kingdom warriors and sailors, it became a matter of course for all the Makka Whale Tribe to convert. This fishing and hunting tribe of only five to six hundred people had long been with the Kingdom.
The warriors and sailors in the kingdom intermarry and build trust with each other. And this guy Zuvalo even married the youngest daughter of the old hunter Jinghai, the chief of the Whale Tribe, as his fourth wife... Lord God! I seriously doubt it.
, if one day, Zuvalo enters the Kingdom’s Inquisition, I’m afraid he will never come out again!…”
"Although the population of the Whale Club is not large, it is very important to the kingdom! They have unique whaling skills and occupy the straits and promontories where a large number of whales pass. With the Whale Club's technology of attracting whales, they have a better understanding of the whales' habits.
Understand that, coupled with the kingdom's large ships, throwing spears and powerful crossbows, you can stably hunt whales along the coast! And as long as you can capture a large whale, tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand kilograms of fish meat will be produced, and a large amount of high-quality oil will be produced.
This allows almost the entire support fleet to receive sufficient food supplies!…
"Praise the Lord God! In fact, the kingdom's ports and coastal tribes along the way are not rich in food. The kingdom's support fleet has not stored enough food. After arriving at the Whale Department, the support fleet participated
I went on a whaling hunt and killed a beautiful big-winged whale. I got 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of whale meat and thousands of kilograms of oil!…”
"At the whale port, the support fleet unloaded most of the green salt and a small amount of flint, and replenished the food that could support the entire fleet for a full four-month voyage. It was mainly pickled salted whale meat, which is durable in storage.
Edible whale oil! At the same time, the fleet left 60 samurai sailors from the kingdom headquarters and added 30 Makka sailors. As a result, the population of Whale Harbor reached 700 people.
About one-third of them are the headquarters of the kingdom, so they can be guaranteed to be safe!"
"In the arrangement of Whale Port, the first-level preacher priest Zuyu served as the village priest and married the sister of the whale guide. The old chief Jinghai converted to the main god and carved the emblem of the main god on his forehead, and he still served as the village leader of the Whale Club.
, responsible for daily whaling activities. Chief Whale Sea is a truly wise and open-minded old hunter. After the support fleet appeared, he did not object to joining the "amazingly powerful longship tribe", and even easily converted to the blood oath.
, to engrave the emblem of the Lord God on his body. For him, as long as the continuation of the tribe is guaranteed and the life of the tribesmen becomes better, the so-called 'chief, leader' position is not actually important. Of course, life in the North
The chiefs of these small tribes have to lead their tribes to continuously migrate due to hardships and hardships, and have to personally participate in hunting, fishing and gathering, and even have to fight with other tribes themselves. They are really the least enjoyable chiefs I have ever seen!…"
"At the end of April, the support fleet of ten longships was replenished in Whale Harbor. After the handover from Priest Koje to us, he returned to the North Port in the south to find his own achievements. Praise the Lord God! Zuvalo and I are waiting.
After a long half year and a blizzard of winter, we can finally set out again to advance His Majesty’s divine exploration! Of course, our first goal is not the Thousand Mile Island of the Shuslau people in the north, but the southeastern Krale
The Salt Creek tribe of the Mu people. Hundreds of warriors from the fleet gathered together, which is an extremely, extremely amazing power in the North! We want to give the old grandmother of the Salt Creek tribe a little shock! It is best to take advantage of the fleet.
The strength is enough to 'persuad' the other party to convert to the Lord God, even if it is just a nominal acceptance!..."
The night is long, and the stars are like a sea. The stars twinkle in the night sky, reflecting the deep sea. The aroma of whale soup lingers on the top of the mountain, attracting red foxes and arctic foxes in the distance, and they also carefully poke their heads. They have always been concerned about the four-legged ferocious beasts.
They are vigilant and almost their only natural enemies on the island. In this era, the natural enemies do not care about their beautiful fur, but are interested in their few ounces of meat. This is also the reason why they can continue to survive. Until
One day, their pure and gorgeous fur will become a luxury product worth as much as gold, and that is when the real destruction will come!
"Tsk! What a beautiful fox!"
Exploration captain Zuvalo used the firelight to look at a patch of white and a touch of fiery red not far away. He blinked, and there seemed to be no mottled color on the fur of those foxes. If he could bring it back to the capital in the lake, I'm afraid it would be
It was a wonderful gift that would make the noble ladies extremely happy and willing to commit themselves to it. However, the mission of exploration was currently weighing heavily on him, leaving him no time to think about these small things.
"Miki, the old grandmother of the Salt Creek tribe made an alliance with us. She nominally converted to the main god, and also accepted the first-level preaching priest sent by the kingdom, Ta Corn. And with the Salt Creek tribe as an intermediary, we and the Bay of Hundred Lakes
Many tribes in the country also have communication channels, and there is an additional way to obtain salt!..."
"Actually, ten long ships, seven hundred warriors and sailors, such a powerful force, are enough to establish a foothold in the Bay of Hundred Lakes! However, if we continue to explore and build ports, it is impossible to stay in the Bay of Hundred Lakes.
More manpower... Now it seems that the distance to the west from this far north is probably longer than the long west coast!..."
"God bless you! It's true! From Whale Harbor to the north, you can count it as the northwest coast, the extreme north coast! And the supply ports we built along the way..."
Mickey the Knowledgeable nodded seriously. He rubbed his hands, stretched out his fingers, and counted port after port.
"Witness the Lord God! First is the Divine Shell Fish Harbor on the Long Island of the Siuslaw people, followed by the Eagle Wing Harbor at the junction of the Tlingit and Haida people, and then the Tlingit
The sacred Gold Creek Harbor where people fish and hunt is what Your Majesty calls the Juno Gold Mine. Further behind is the sacred Blood Bay Harbor where the Eyak people are located, and the sacred harbor where the Sugpiaq people are located.
The Great Whale Port, the Divine Earth Port where the Unangax people appeared, and the Divine High Mountain Port where we are now!... Just a little calculation, there are eight ports, and a voyage of seven or eight thousand miles!..."
"Yes! On the northwest coast, we have established eight ports named after 'gods'! And in each port, we have left a long ship and sixty or seventy warrior sailors to recruit the surrounding people.
Tribe... Lord God! When we set off from Whale Harbor, I thought that the ten longships supporting the fleet would be enough for us to reach the end of the island chain heading west! But I didn’t expect..."
Speaking of this, the exploration captain Zuvalo smiled bitterly and shook his head. But he also knew that establishing supply points along the way and recruiting various units in the far north were not only His Majesty's divine guidance, but also the most reliable and safe way to develop! After all, they not only
In order to explore this desolate cold coast, we must also open up an extreme northern route that can provide stable supplies. Although the winter on the extreme northern coast is harsh, there is actually not a lot of prey caught in spring, summer, and autumn.
!
"Let me think about it, we were in mid-May, along the Slaus people's thousand-mile long island, detouring hundreds of miles to the south. Then, at the northernmost tip of the long island, at the place I had selected before, I left the first
A long ship built the Shenbei Fish Port! What is the measured latitude of that port? Oh, yes, 51 degrees north latitude!…"
