Chapter 1012 The Sailing Diary of the Knowledgeable Person, the Summary of the Extreme North Coast, and the Eight "God" Ports
"Lord God bless! After the arrival of the kingdom's support fleet, facing the 700 warriors and sailors of the kingdom, the conversion of all the Maca whale tribe became a matter of course. This fishing and hunting tribe, which is only five or six hundred people, has long been in harmony with The warriors and sailors in the kingdom intermarried and built trust with each other. And this guy Zuvaro even married the youngest daughter of the whale chief, the old hunter Jinghai, as his fourth wife... Lord God! I seriously doubt it , if one day Zuvaro enters the Kingdom's Inquisition, I'm afraid he will never come out again!..."
"Although the population of the whale department is not large, it is very important to the kingdom! They have unique whaling skills and occupy the capes of the strait where a large number of whales pass. With the technology of the whale department to attract whales, the influence of whale habits Understand, coupled with the kingdom's large ships, spears and crossbows, you can stably kill whales along the coast! And as long as you can catch a big whale, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of catties of fish meat, a large amount of high-quality oil, Almost the entire support fleet can get 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 been able to store enough food. After arriving at the whale department, the support fleet participated I went on a whaling hunt and killed a good-looking humpback whale, and got 40,000 to 50,000 catties of whale meat and thousands of catties of oil!..."
"In Whale Harbor, the support fleet unloaded most of the green salt and a small amount of flint, and supplemented the food that can support the entire fleet for a full four-month voyage, mainly pickled salted whale meat, storage-resistant Edible whale oil! At the same time, the fleet left behind 60 warrior sailors from the Kingdom Headquarters and added 30 Maca sailors. In this way, the population of Whale Harbor reached 700 people. About one-third of them are the headquarters of the kingdom, which can be guaranteed to be safe!"
"According to the arrangement of Whale Harbor, Zuyu, the first-level missionary priest, served as the village priest and married the sister of the guide Whale Dog. The old chief Jinghai converted to the Lord God, and after engraving the emblem of the Lord God on his forehead, he still served as the village leader of the Whale Division. , 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 with blood , to engrave the emblem of the main god on his body. As long as the continuation of the tribe is guaranteed and the life of the tribal people becomes better, the so-called "chieftain and leader" positions are actually not important. Of course, life in the Northland The chiefs of these small tribes have to lead the tribes to migrate continuously, participate in hunting, fishing and gathering, and even fight with other tribes in person. They are really the least enjoyable chiefs I have ever seen!…”
"At the end of April, the support fleet of ten long ships was replenished at Whale Harbor. Priest Kejie handed over to us and returned to North Harbor in the south to find his own achievements. Praise the Lord God! Zuvaro and I are waiting After a long half a year and a snowy winter, we can finally set off again to advance the exploration of His Majesty’s revelation! Of course, the first goal of our departure is not the long island of the Xiuslaw people in the north, but the southeast Clare The Yanxi tribe of the Mu people. The gathering of hundreds of warriors in the fleet is an extremely, extremely amazing force in the Northland! We want to give the old grandmother of the Yanxi tribe a little shock of the main god! It is best to take advantage of the fleet The strength is enough to 'persuade' the other party to convert to the main god, even if it is only 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 mountain, attracting red foxes and arctic foxes in the distance, and they also carefully probe their brains. They are always on guard against ferocious four-legged beasts, and are almost their only natural enemies on the island. In this era, the natural enemies don't care about their beautiful fur, but plot for their pitiful few taels of meat. This is why they can continue to survive. Until one day, their pure and gorgeous fur becomes a luxury that is worth more than gold, and that is when the real destruction comes!
"Tsk tsk! What a beautiful fox!"
Exploration Captain Zuvaro took advantage of the firelight to see a spot of pure white and a spot of fiery red not far away. He blinked, and there seemed to be no variegation on the fur of those foxes. If it can be brought back to the capital in the lake, it will probably be a wonderful gift that will make the noble ladies very happy and promise them with their bodies. However, the mission of exploration is so heavy on him that he has no time to think about these trivial matters.
"Mickey, the old grandmother of the Salt Creek Department made a covenant with us, converted to the main god in name, and also accepted the first-class missionary priest sent by the kingdom, Ta Maize. With the Salt Creek Department as an intermediary, we and the Bay of Hundred Lakes The many tribes in our country also have channels of communication, and they can have an extra way to obtain salt!..."
"Actually, ten long boats, seven hundred warriors and sailors, such a powerful force is enough to gain 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. Many people... Now it seems that the distance to the west of this remote extreme north is probably longer than the long west coast!..."
"Blessed by the Lord God! Indeed! From Whale Harbor to the north, it can be counted as the northwest coast and the extreme north coast! And the supply port we built along the way..."
The knowledgeable Mickey nodded seriously. He rubbed his hands together, stretched out his fingers, and calculated port by port.
"Witness of the Lord God! First is the port of the god shell fish on the long island of the Siuslaw, then the port of the eagle wing at the junction of the Tlingit and the Haida, and then the port of the Tlingit The Shenjinxi Port of the Fishing and Hunting Land, which is what His Majesty called the Juno Gold Mine. Further on, there is the Holy Blood Bay Port where the Eyaks are located, and the sacred place where the Sugpiaqs are located. Great Whale Harbor, the Shendadi Port where the Unangax people (Unangax) appeared, and the Shengaoshan Port where we are now!...Just a little calculation, there are eight ports, and the 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 with sixty or seventy warrior sailors to recruit the surrounding 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 in the west! But I didn't expect..."
Speaking of this, the exploration captain Zuvaro shook his head with a wry smile. But he also knows that establishing supply points along the way and recruiting ministries in the extreme north is not only the guidance of His Majesty's divine revelation, but also the safest and safest way to develop! After all, they not only want to explore this desolate and cold coast, but also open up an extreme northern route that can stabilize supplies. Although the winter on the extreme north coast is harsh, the catches in spring, summer, and autumn are actually quite a lot!
"Let's think about it. In mid-May, we walked along the Thousand Miles Long Island of the Slaus people and circled hundreds of miles on the south side. Then, at the northernmost tip of Long Island, the place I selected before, left the first A long ship established the Shenbei Fishing Port! What is the measured latitude of that port? Oh, yes, 51 degrees north latitude!..."
