Chapter 1,540: Recite two poems and see four treasure ships!
July is coming to an end, the Gulf of Alaska, 58 degrees north latitude. Big Whale Island, Kingdom Harbor, God Great Whale Harbor.
The mountainous mountains in the distance are covered with green coniferous forests, and goshawks soaring on the top of the mountain. The stream at the foot of the mountain flows slowly, and the pink shallow trees and yellow grass and flowers are bathed together in the sunlight of 18 hours during the extreme day.
There is vitality everywhere.
The vitality brought by the stream extends close, and the long meadow suddenly turns into a cultivated potato field. In the more than 1,000 acres of potato field, there are hundreds of tribes busy weeding, and the potato seedlings that are several palm-heated.
After two months of planting, green buds have appeared on the potato seedlings, and pink and white flowers are about to bloom. Under the warm fields of summer, the growing rhizomes of potatoes are nurturing autumn harvests, preparing for
The most valuable winter ration.
Although it is the same latitude, under the joint protection of Alaska warm current and northern mountains, the coast of Alaska in summer is far warmer than the Kamchatka Peninsula under the influence of the Thousand Islands Cold Current, and can even be exaggeratedly higher than "10 degrees".
Above, this is a sub-cold marine climate, which may be more suitable for potato growth than Hokkaido, which is more than 40 degrees north latitude!
"Ka...Ka...Ka...Ka!"
Two tall Jurchen horses walked on the long summer meadow and "slid" from a distance. The four hooves of walking alternated into four beats, without leaping in the air, and there was always a horse's hooves landing on the ground. This is a horse
The slowest and most stable gait is suitable for beginners and relaxing training.
Looking closer, the two horses each rode a high priest from the kingdom. They both wore a short Northern style crown, a round obsidian necklace, and a sea otter fur robe with tight-sleeved pants.
We also tied a gilded belt and tied the legs into the deer leather boots. This priest suit, which is more suitable for horse riding, looks like some of the Northeast Asian nomadic tribes, and are integrated with the Northwest Coast natives of North America, as well as the plateau Nava culture.
style.
“The heaven and earth are nothing but ancient hotels, In tlalticpac zan huehueyaloya,”
"The sun is just an alternating flame. In tonatiuh zan tlapetlahuilia."
"Night is the place of dreams, In yohualli zan tlahuelilocayotl,"
"Life is like a flower blooming, fleeting! In tlakatl zan cueponi, zan hueyollo!"
Two high-ranking priests were standing by the stream. One of them was not tall, with a vicissitudes of expression and a little melancholy on his face. He looked at the large fields flowing through the stream, and the tribal camps that spread out continuously behind the fields, using the Kingdom of Lake
The accented Nava language makes poetry come to his leisurely. As far as he sees, the rows of wooden houses and huts in the camp are obviously more than a thousand people. Such a tribal scale is for the kingdom stronghold along the Alaska coast.
, it's really amazing.
In fact, Chimel, the god of horse-raising, has become the largest kingdom stronghold among the entire Alaska coastal port!
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Speaking of horses, a little further away, seven mixed-blood horses of all sizes were looking for food in the meadows in the port area. More than a dozen horse-raising apprentices brought by Suichiro were serving carefully.
Yes, the first three horses of one male and two female in the camp have been heated and reproduced three times in three years, and six new horses have been successfully born. And the strongest two-year-old foal is with
The original Jurchen horse, "Ati", rode under the two high priests.
As for why it is named "Atti"? Because "Atlcahualo" is called "January", which symbolizes "the end of water", which is the "original beginning".
"Where is the truth? Only the singing is drifting! Ompa ye nelli, zan oncan cuicatl!"
"Why are the flowers blooming? Why do the songs dissipate? Tleipan xochitl huetzca, tleipan cuicatl polihui?"
"Ah! Alas! Ohuaya, ohuaya!"
The melancholy high priest sighed twice as the end of the poem. "Ohuaya" is a lament in traditional Nava poetry, expressing the short-lived sadness of life. The two rhetorical questions in the second to last sentence, and the self-question and self-answer of the third to last sentence
, it is also a more traditional Nava poetry style, which all express the shortness of life and has a deep sad color.
In short, the second half of this poem is quite regular, follows the Nava tradition, conforms to aesthetics but not stunning. What is really amazing is the first half...
"Okay! OK! Comparing the heaven and earth to a hotel, the rise and fall of the sun represents time, and the dream of the night flies with the soul... and our life is like a flower, blooming and falling in this heaven and earth and time... Lord God! This is really the same
A good poem!”
Priest Chimere stroked his hands and praised him, and sat on the horse with his legs, showing his confident equestrian skills. He praised him and said with a smile, looking at his somewhat melancholy old friend beside him.
"Praise the Lord God! Mickey, my great knowledgeable person... I didn't expect that you wrote such a masterpiece after just two years! What other good poems can you read together and let me enjoy it!...
”
"Ha! Chimel, this is not a poem I can write, it is a new masterpiece that has been circulated in Trochtitlan..."
“The masterpiece of the capital in the lake?!”
"good!"
Talking about the Navar’s favorite poem, Mikey, a knowledgeable person, was a little excited. He touched it from his arms, took out a volume of copied poems and essays, and handed them to Chimeer with a smile.
"Here, it's all here! This is His Majesty's father, the Alliance's Poetry Saint Sok, and the "Collected Poetry" of his excellent works in recent years..."
"…oh?!"
Chimere's eyes lit up, and he took the booklet and opened it happily. The first poem at the beginning was a religious poem praising the Great Temple and the Lord God, called "The Great Temple Sets the Sky".
“The Great Temple is towering, and it stands as high as a hundred arrows, Huey Teocalli tlacati centzontli mitl,”
“You can reach the stars in the sky with your hands. Niman oncan tlacchialoa in Citlalmeztli.”
"I dare not speak loudly, Amo nimitztlahpaloa in nochi tlahtolli,"
"I'm afraid of disturbing the spirit of Vizilopochtli! Mochipa nicchipa tlazohcamati Huitzilopochtli!"
Seeing this novel four-line poem, Chimer opened his eyes wide, recalling the majesty of the Great Temple, and his longing once again emerged in his heart.
"The main god on Snake Mountain! The most magnificent temple in the capital in the lake is the closest to the Kingdom of God and the most sacred place! The immortal wonder of "up to hundreds of arrows" can touch the stars with tentacles. And Mochipa
nicchipa, is 'eternal awe', 'eternal prayer'...good poem! Not bad! It is worthy of being 'poet Saint Xiu Sok'!..."
The two priests talked about the poem and felt much better. Chimel looked at Mickey's expression before comforting him.
"Mickey... Life on the sea is indeed as short as flowers. For the sake of the Lord God's faith, the warriors who died on the sea will ascend to the red kingdom and be resurrected there... I drew a new painting a few days ago to pay tribute to that
The heroes on the two ships... and on the sacrificial tower by the sea, I also prepared to erect a stone tablet, carve their names and patterns there for a permanent memorial..."
"By the way! The daylight is very long in summer and it's still early. Do you want to follow me to take a look at the beach sacrifice tower and pray again?"
"Yeah... OK!"
The knowledgeable Mickey nodded quietly for a moment. Then he clamped his horse's belly, maintained the speed of a beginner, followed Chimel's horse behind. The two of them rode horses to the sea near the port.
.
"Ka...dah..."
In summer, the sea of Big Whale Island flashes with a light blue and emerald green, like a gem in a lake. Dozens of four-meter tribal boats, full of Sugpiya fishermen who converted to the Lord God, pulled outside the port.
Fishing with fishing nets. Three twenty-meter long kingdom boats and two newer kingdom sand boats are also busy fishing on the seas on the outer side. A little further away, you can see occasionally passing whales.
I heard the long song of whale floating from nowhere, from nowhere.
"Woo~ahhhh! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The whale song comes from the sea and floats to the inside of the port. Four large ocean-covered ships are quietly anchored in the port like a fishing village. These four ocean-covered ships are extremely large in shape, like the real long whale of Cui Wei. Even if it is not a matter of fact, they are not aware of the harbor.
Compared with the long ship of the kingdom, it is also significantly shorter and much shorter!
Yes, this is the fifth support fleet of the Kingdom, and it is the second newly built "Daoyang Chasing Ship". This batch of Yangchasing Shiping Ship has been built for two years, not only has the shipbuilding time exceeded expectations, but the ship was
The shape is also beyond the original plan, and the volume is twice as large as before!
With the support of the great wood of the kingdom with extremely high quality, the tireless guidance of the golden ship craftsman, and the construction of many senior carpenters... The Southern Shipbuilding Department used thirty meters of large wood as the keel bone, and used this large keel bone as the "rule" to comply with
Shipbuilding French, expanding the original ship type, and then reinforcing the expanded space. Finally, it took two years to successfully build five "big foreign ships with 400 materials"
"!The load load of each of these four hundred foreign ships is nearly twice that of the previous two hundred foreign ships, reaching an "amazing" 120 tons!
Well, although the 400-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-fo
In the fleet, the medium-sized Clark sailing ship "Santa Maria". The "three-masted Chinese vertical sail" used by the Dachao Ocean Ship is also more flexible than the European Clark sailing ship of this era, and the efficiency of using wind is more efficient.
Higher, faster boat speeds when sailing along the coast!
In October last year, five large ocean-covered ships and twelve sand ships formed the fifth support fleet and went north together. Seven hundred kingdom warriors and sailors, as well as an incredible total load of more than 1,000 tons, made
The scale of the northbound support fleet this time is far greater than any previous one!
"Master God! What a spectacular fleet that was when it set sail last year!"
At that time, the knowledgeable man Mickey was proud and took the letter written by Shuloth to him, and personally led the fleet north as the fourth-level general priest of the Kingdom and the captain of the support fleet. As long as this time he went to sea successfully,
With his achievements, the epic of navigation written by him, and the connections of the priests in the lake... Then, it is simply indisputable, and it is near to you!
However, fate is always unpredictable, like a storm on the sea. The first half of the year Mickey's support fleet's voyage from Lake Kingdom to Whale Harbor was relatively smooth. Although, they also encountered the sea in Northern California.
Hurricane encountered a large wildfire burning the entire mountain range... But the fleet did not lose any personnel or ships, and successfully used 300 tons of coal from Flint Town, 100 tons of salt from Ipa's large tribe, and 100 tons of salt from the same sand ships.
, all successfully replenished ports on the west coast of the Kingdom.
Everything was blessed by the Lord God until early May this year when the ice sea in the north melted. Mickey was full of confidence and once again led five large ocean-covered ships, two sand ships, carrying more than a dozen tons of pickled whale meat from Whale Port, well
Dozens of tons of coal, along the Alaska warm current, to the north of the North Coast...
As a result, last month, the fleet actually traveled to Shenda Whale Island at Shenxue Bay Port, and the northernmost part of all voyages. It encountered the extremely cold floating ice flowing down the north, and drifted silently.
The fatal danger! And it was still in the terrible weather of fog! In the face of the surging underwater ice, even the extremely strong large ocean-covered ship cracked at the moment of impact, and it could no longer be replenished when it appeared.
The big hole in the...
"Master God! The terrible scene of that day, the two ships that hit the ice... Please cast your blood-red eyes like the sunset of the setting sun, and guide the warriors to death from the cold bottomless deep sea in the extreme north.
