Chapter 1190 The First Great Geographical Discovery - Landing
Cao Guangxiao carefully observed the tree trunk again and found no traces of felling. After confirming this, he turned his head and ordered the flag soldiers to tell the ship: "No human habitation was found!"
"There is no human habitation? So no one lives in this land? It is a large area of uninhabited land!" Fang Mingqian shouted.
"What a blessing! I bless you!" Zhu Bai couldn't help but say. He and Fang Mingqian originally thought that there must be people living in such a large area with suitable weather and not barren land. During the boat trip from the Beijing Sea in the north to the south
We had intense discussions on how to deal with different local people or governments when encountering them, and made various plans. But unexpectedly, these plans seemed to be in vain.
"Since it's deserted, let all the soldiers disembark." Fang Mingqian said: "It's been floating on the sea all the time. Even the veteran sailors can't stand it anymore."
"Let them all disembark." Zhu Bai nodded in agreement, but then ordered: "Be careful. There are no people here, and there may not be venomous snakes and beasts. We still have to let the soldiers set up camps and take precautions."
"Let Cao Guangxiao continue to lead the soldiers to explore the forest, but not more than thirty miles, and return immediately after reaching thirty miles."
"Yes, Your Highness." Fang Mingqian agreed and ordered the soldiers to disembark.
After hearing the news from their superiors, the ship suddenly erupted into cheers! For four months, most people had not left the ship since they left the Ainu people, even all year round.
People who are drifting on the sea can't stand it anymore. Those who rarely take boats feel that their feet are shaking all the time and they have no energy to do anything. How can they not be happy that they can finally get off the boat today?
After everyone cheered, they immediately returned to the cabin to take out all their belongings and get off the ship. The generals of each ship had to keep shouting: "You can't carry too many things, put them all on the ship first! Wait until the camp is set up!"
"Follow your own line of thousands of households to get off the ship and line up!"...
The commander, Zhao Yuanyuan, first led his troops off the boat, selected a flat area close to the river, ordered some people to clear the ground, and ordered others to wield axes to cut down trees.
The birds and beasts brought on the ship were the third batch to disembark. These terrestrial animals, like people, were obviously not used to floating on the sea for a long time. Many of them died at sea and had to be roasted and eaten. This time it was finally the first time.
A settlement was decided, and the people who raised these livestock immediately brought them down. More than ten dogs, more than twenty chickens, and six pairs of rabbits were driven down. The people who kept the livestock brought them down before the houses for people to live in were built.
A breeding room was built for them.
Among them, the most precious ones are dozens of horses! Before leaving, Yunxi asked him to take a lot of horses with him, more than a hundred of them. Half of them died on the road, leaving less than sixty.
Zhu Bai was so distressed that he quickly took them down.
After that, the fourth batch of soldiers who disembarked were responsible for searching for something edible. The food they brought from the mainland and Japan was almost exhausted. In fact, if they hadn't kept fishing for food along the way, they would have been killed long ago.
I starved to death on the way. I urgently needed to replenish food. And most of the people were almost vomiting after eating the fish, so they really wanted to eat something else.
It's a pity, "Your Highness, Governor Fang, all the soldiers can find are still fish and shrimps. However, these fish and shrimps are all fish and shrimps growing in the river, and the fishy smell will not be as strong as that of sea fish."
Baihuhui report led by the team.
"Hey, I still can only eat fish!" Zhu Bai sighed.
"Your Highness, I can finally eat fish and shrimps from rivers and lakes. It is better than always eating sea fish, and my taste has changed." Fang Mingqian forcibly comforted him.
"That's all, even if what you say makes sense. I just hope that the soldiers will not complain." Zhu Bai said.
In this way, when it was time to stay in the evening, a tent that could accommodate thousands of people was finally put up hastily, and a fence was built around the perimeter with wood. Most people got off the boat holding their bed rolls and came to the tent assigned to them.
tents, and only a few people were left to guard the boats.
When everyone saw that their dinner was still fish, they were very dissatisfied, but they still endured it. When they first arrived in a strange place, and they didn’t know what was poisonous and what was not poisonous, they really couldn’t eat it randomly. It was better to eat some familiar fish.
The exploration team led by Cao Guangxiao also returned from the forest and brought back a few birds to offer to Zhu Bai and Fang Mingqian. However, Zhu Bai took a look at the soldiers who were eating fish and decided to stew them with a wave of his hand.
A bowl of broth and some minced meat.
After dinner, Zhu Bai ordered the soldiers to rest early. In summer, the sun rises early. If you rest early today, you can get up at sunrise tomorrow to build a more complete building in this place.
The soldiers themselves were obedient and fell asleep. This was a deserted place, there was nothing outside the camp, and what was there to see at night?
Even the people standing guard were drowsy. The excitement of arriving in a foreign continent for the first time had long since disappeared, and all that was left was boredom. Most people missed their relatives back home and looked forward to returning home as soon as possible. In addition,
The exploration team had reported that there were no people around, so they naturally relaxed their vigilance.
They would not have thought that at this moment, in the dark forest, there were pairs of eyes staring at this dimly lit place.
…
…
"Jero Mudmask, you are right. Sure enough, someone has come to the land where we have lived for generations!" At the edge of the forest, a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face said to a young man next to him.
"Chief Qilika, I never lie, especially about such an important matter!" The young man known as Jero Mudmask heard this and said unhappily.
