Chapter 1010 The Nautical Diary of the Knowledgeable Person, the Chaoyang Department Converted to the Sun, and the Germination of the Northern Faction

"At 44 degrees north latitude, it is the Chaoyang tribe of the Xiuslaw people, a large coastal tribe with more than 2,000 people! Chinook, the sun shaman of the Chaoyang tribe, is wise and friendly. He once had a trade supply agreement with the kingdom. However, The first fleet of Kingdom ships that passed through the Chaoyang Department was only about 200 people. But this time, there were ten Kingdom longships, fully loaded with 700 warriors and sailors who were good at fighting! Such a huge scale of force could overwhelm the west coast The Chinook shaman of the Chaoyang Department will be shocked by any big tribe in the country!"

"The Chinook shaman appeared in person and talked with the priest Kejie who led the team all night. This time, he talked about the sun again, about the ancestor of the sun revered by the Chaoyang Ministry, and the main sun god believed by the Longchuan tribe. Many "common" places... and Priest Kejie was also very happy to say that the Chaoyang tribe is also a descendant of the Jiaoren, and also a long-lost "brother" tribe in the Kingdom... The talks between the two parties ended in joyful sincerity and unity. The Chinook shaman represents the Chaoyang Department, and the Kejie priest represents the Kingdom of the Lake. The two sides are blood-to-blood alliances, and the relationship has been upgraded from a trade supply relationship to a mutual covenant of allies..."

"After the blood oath of the covenant, faced with the sincere 'request' of Priest Kejie to convert to the Lord Sun God, Chinook Shaman pondered for a long time, took the Sun Hummingbird Amulet of the Lord God with a smile, and put it on his neck. A symbolic move, representing the Chaoyang Ministry of more than 2,000 people, is walking towards the arms of the Lord Sun God... Then, he took the initiative to invite the kingdom fleet, leaving behind Chawa, the first-level missionary priest, and several people who are good at planting potatoes The young deacon spread faith and new crops among the tribe. The support fleet also added some special food from the tribe from Chaoyang, including kelp, sun beans, vetch, bear's paw fern, thorn fern...and recruited more than a dozen A Xlaus sailor who is familiar with the Northland and can arrange kelp fields..."

In the extreme north in October, day and night are equally divided, and the brilliant galaxy hangs high in the clear and distant sky. From ancient times to today, the stars here are so bright that they have never been affected by the bright and dense lights in human towns. The North Star for navigation hangs clearly on the zenith, and is almost stable in one position. It is like the clear and eternal guidance of the Lord God, telling the sailing kingdom fleet where they are! …

"North latitude 52 degrees... is only eight latitudes away from Chaoyang at 44 degrees north latitude. And the longitude mentioned by His Majesty, the distance we traveled from east to west is at least six or seven thousand miles. To calculate the longitude, Your Majesty said that we should use Time, but I don't know when, can create an accurate timekeeping 'clock' in the divine revelation..."

The knowledgeable Mickey drank the last sip of warm whale broth, looked up at the starry sky for a while, and then let out a long breath and said with a smile.

"Zuvaro, the kelp from Chaoyangbu must be added to this whale broth to make it delicious!"

"Haha! Mickey, adding kelp to any soup will be delicious. This kind of seafood, which is produced in a lot, can be so delicious and thick, probably a gift from the sea elves!"

The exploration captain Zuvaro smiled, and ate the firm whale meat indifferently. He doesn't have too many requirements for food, as long as it can fill his stomach and replenish his energy.

"Praise the lord! Zuvaro, after the Rising Sun Ministry becomes an ally of the kingdom, their technology of cultivating kelp, growing sun beans and bracken can be promoted among the coastal ministries and the kingdom's ports! You can't always eat whale meat or Potato…"

"Well, not bad! It's always good to have more sources of food. Sun beans and bracken can be planted on the salty land along the coast, and they don't compete with potatoes for land. Kelp is even more so by the sea pond, and it can be raised along the way. fish…"

Exploration Captain Zuwaro rubbed his chin, thinking of the unique agricultural heritage of the Chaoyang Department, he smiled meaningfully.

"Haha! The sun shaman Chinook is indeed a smart and cunning old shaman. Last time the two of us persuaded him to convert to the main god, he still kept a smile and didn't talk about it. This time Kejie brought the warriors of the Seven Hundred Kingdoms When the sailor arrived, he turned so smoothly, it was a blood oath alliance, and a recognition of faith... This is really an old fox!..."

"Well, the Lord God is witness! The Kingdom still needs to have strength as its foundation for exchanges and contacts between the kingdom and the various tribes in the Northland. The large tribes in the Northland live in such a harsh and wild environment, and they have a better understanding of strength than the tribes in the southern plateau and jungle. They are indeed much sharper! Of course, their tribal population is at most thousands of people, and it cannot be compared with those city-state tribes in the south with tens of thousands..."

The knowledgeable Mickey nodded affirmatively. Over the past two years, his understanding of the tribes of the Northern Lands has grown much deeper. To be honest, compared with the plateau tribes and jungle tribes, the tribes in the Northland value food, mouths and weapons more, and they don't pay much attention to the tribe's land, and they are very flexible in their beliefs.

From the perspective of tribal characteristics, the vast majority of northern tribes are hunting tribes who value reality and ignore beliefs, and the boundless northern continent is their ancestral homeland. If they encounter a threat of force that is difficult to resist, their first choice is to form an alliance to show their goodwill and turn the threat into an ally. And if the threat of hostility is irreconcilable, they will choose to migrate with their families, abandon the originally settled territory, and go to the vast and endless inland.

The tribes in the north have a tradition of tribal migration, and also have the ability to attack and harass in the mountains and forests. Therefore, the kingdom's exchanges with them are still mainly based on peaceful marriage alliances, missionary conversions, assimilation and mergers, while the use of force is relatively cautious. Most of the time, the kingdom just showed its strength and told the northern ministries that it was very strong and not easy to mess with!

"45 degrees north latitude is God's Palm Peak, blessed by God. Priest Kejie led the support fleet and held a large-scale prayer ceremony again, boosting the morale of the fleet. Not far to the north of God's Palm Peak is Tillamoke There are only a thousand tribesmen in the Teemo tribe. The female chieftain of the Teemo tribe, Tila, the grandmother of the tribe, was amazed by the size of the fleet and the number of warriors, and she was both secretly vigilant and enthusiastic! ..."

"The support fleet stayed in Teemo for three days, and the female chief Tila made it clear that she was willing to accept the belief of the Lord God! ... However, we all knew in our hearts that they just worshiped a powerful god from the south, far away from the real and only There is still a distance away from God's Palm Peak... After discussions with the priests of the fleet, we left Miboluo, the missionary priest, who married the youngest daughter of the female chieftain Tila, and was responsible for guiding this small group of thousands of people to convert. The tribe... The fleet also left a few deacons, twenty warrior sailors, intermarried with Tillamok women, to integrate into the Teemo tribe..."

"Huh? Mickey, I remember, Mi Boluo is your brother, right? Just graduated from Shinway University?"

Exploration Captain Zuwaro blinked and looked at Mickey the Knowledgeable. Mickey scratched his hair, frowned slightly, and nodded affirmatively.

"That's right! Mi Boluo is my younger brother. He is 20 years old this year and has just graduated from Shenwei University. Many of the young priests in this group of supporting ships have just graduated from Shenwei University, and many of them are similar to the first The priests of the first batch of fleets have something to do with it. After all, there are not many vacancies for priests in the counties of the kingdom, and there are so many priests of noble origin... In fact, for the priests of the kingdom who were born as commoners, it is important to come to the northern continent to preach , may be the best way out!..."

"Well... Although the Teemo tribe is poor and has little production, it is still a medium-sized tribe with a thousand people, controlling a coast of two to three hundred miles. Kejie asked Miboluo to stay there, and left 20 kingdom warriors. I personally arranged and presided over his wedding...I'm afraid, it was because of the sake of the two of us!..."

Speaking of this, the knowledgeable Mickey lowered his eyes, lowered his voice, and said softly.

"Witness of the Lord God! Zuvaro, I have been a little uneasy... We have flexibly relaxed the doctrine, allowing young priests to marry and have children in the Northland, and marry various tribes... And the priests in this series of strongholds are mostly Born in Shenwei University, they are inextricably linked with each other... If things go on like this, the seeds planted will grow into pumpkins and become entangled with each other, will it be..."

"The lord god blesses! Guiding the Jiaoren compatriots in the north to return to the bright and right path of the lord god is exactly the duty bestowed by the priests of the kingdom! Even if it is a little bit beyond the religious law, it is for the true faith!  …"

The exploration captain Zuwaro also lowered his eyes, prayed in a low voice, and interrupted the knowledgeable Mickey. The discussion between the two ended here, and they buried all their thoughts about the future of the Northland in their hearts.

After all, even if the priests of the Northern Continent finally relied on the converted tribes and established ports everywhere, in the priesthood of the Kingdom, they formed a separate Northland faction... Then initially explore the northern coast and create the Northland The two people in the first line will also naturally have the status of the leader of the faction! If such a political faction is really formed, for the two leaders, whether they return to the capital or stay in the Northland, the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages!

"Praise the Lord God! After the Teemo, it is Beigang at 46 degrees north latitude! The port of this kingdom has received many migrating small tribes of Krasop, and it looks like it is thriving! And when the powerful fleet of the kingdom arrives, encountering The envoys sent by the tribal alliance at the mouth of the river in the north are at the right time!..."
