Chapter 170 The End of the World (4)
On December 1, 1647, in the afternoon, Qi Guo explored the fleet and two ships along the coastline of the island to a land that was protruding the bay (now near the town of Kukra Town, South Island, New Zealand), printed in the water
In the eyes of the division and soldiers, there were more than a dozen huge flavor whales, and they jumped out of the sea from time to time.
On the occasion of the blue sea, a figure of a flavor whale will suddenly appear. The beautiful streamlined body shape, the firming and smooth skin, just like a beautiful girl, dancing between the thousand hectares of the Pacific Ocean. Its graceful dance, light spirit, light spirit
Freedom, spray water pillars from the top from time to time, as if he was announcing to the world: I am the ruler of the ocean.
After the whale drifted on the sea to breathe for ten minutes, he jumped up and pulled his tail high out of the water. The officers and sailors on the fleet would inform everyone that this action said that the whale would reach 1 to 2,
I will come out again after an hour.
In addition to the huge whales, there are many dolphins, sea lions, and ferocious sharks in this sea area, and even some "stupid ducks" (penguin) shaking their heads, lazily pacing on the coast.
"With so many whales and sea lions, seals, we should also occupy the islands!" Lu Zusheng looked at the many sea lions on the coast, and whales that jumped out of the sea from time to time.
"Who did anyone come to fill this island?" Dong Fengshan shook his head and said, "As a big place in the local area, we only occupy several points on the coastal area. You know, we are at most at the current at most 25-26.
How to take care of so many sites! '
"Master Ti Governor, even if we have fewer people now, but in the next few tens of years, there will definitely be millions of people. If the time is extended a little, what about three or five hundred years?"
: "In the future, the population will only be more and more, but the land in this world is fixed. Even if we immigrate to this island, we will at least get a few hundred people.
Occupy, slowly develop after staying. '
"I am afraid that hundreds of people can't take up such a big island." Dong Fengshan said: "The indigenous people here are strong, and there are still force. It is estimated that the population is still many.
! ""
"Then send a soldier of the Land Camp to serve the indigenous people here, and we will immigrate!" As soon as Lu Zusheng thought of the scene of eating people in the indigenous camp, there was a cold in his heart.
"Since you have to pay attention to this island, you have to depict the geographical situation here, and do a good job of survey of hydrological geology and weather." Dong Fengshan couldn't help laughing. He found that anyone who had followed Qi Tian before studying
, More or less desire to expand, I can't wait to incorporate all the unknown territories found in Hanzhou, and create a huge living space for the descendants of future generations.
"Follow the governor!" Lu Zusheng laughed and said loudly.
On December 3, the exploration fleet seemed to have reached the north edge of the big island. There was no land in front of it. The fleet turned around and followed the northern end of the island to drive northeast.
The next day, a large crushed peninsula and archipelago terrain appeared in front of the fleet. In order to ensure the safety of the ship, the two explored armed ships shifted the route slightly north to avoid this complex sea area.
"Adults, please dine." Zhang Laifu held the dinner plate and came to Lu Zusheng in front of him respectfully.
Honey wine.
"Well, let's put it there." Lu Zusheng observed the coastline on the left side of the ship's side, while depicting the nearby terrain and coasts with charcoal pen, and the lunch vision was not seen. On the ship, unless he felt very hungry, ordinary people were ordinary people.
There is no appetite for the food on the boat.
Zhang Laifu heard the words, and gently withdrew from the podium, returned to the deck, and continued to work as an observer. He came from Daming Dengzhou two years ago. However, at the earliest, he was a canal.
The boatman on the boat. Later, Jiannu entered the customs, and Liu Zeqing, the chief of Shandong, fled to Huai'an all the way to occupy a large area near the canal. Their who stayed in Huai'an and many ships were naturally conquered by Liu Zeqing.
However, as Jiannu killed from the north, Liu Zeqing wrapped them in these vessels, entering the sea from the Huaihe River, and fled to Haizhou (now Lianyungang).
Many artillery ships in Qi Guo defeated the battle, and their boatmen and boats fell into the Early court.
Not waiting for all the boatmen to get angry, those officers and soldiers of the strong Qi Guo sailors could not help but say that from the captured boatman, more than 2,000 people were selected, and the ship was loaded back to Hanzhou.
God, we have been eating in the small water ditch of Canal in our lifetime. Why have we seen such a vast ocean, and we also took a boat to cross thousands of miles away, so that we finally came to this desolate Hanyhou continent.
Two years when they came to Hanzhou, Zhang Laifu was assigned to Yongchang (now the Gold Coast of Australia) and worked on a transport ship under the local government. In August last year, he was called by Qi Guojian to enter the exploration fleet.
Although the days in the fleet are bitter and dangerous, fortunately, the army is rich, so that Zhang Laifu is very satisfied. In Daming's troubled times, how cheap life is like a dog, how many extravagance can you have? Furthermore
, The fleet explores the unknown area, and it may not be dangerous. After several years of service, a large amount of silver money is accumulated.
However, there are too many rules in the fleet, especially when the boat is traveling, we must resolutely obey the commands of the fleet commander and officers at all levels, and they seem to care about everything.
For example, let's eat on the boat, you can't choose to choose, but you don't want to eat anything. You can always decide. Because you do n’t like to eat sour on your own, not only the teeth are sour, but also
I still feel that the whole gastrointestinal is convulsive.
Ten days ago, he and the other two brothers did not want to eat the dried lemons that were sent out. They secretly abandoned it into the sea.
, I still feel unjust.
In the fleet, everyone is respectful and afraid of the Du Governor. He will punish any of the officers and soldiers who make mistakes.
He cut off that person's head. All officers and soldiers were convinced of this. Because, it is said that Master Titan was a pirate more than ten years ago, and at least a dozen lives in their hands.
However, fortunately, the deputy commander of the fleet, Lord Lu, is more harmonious. Although he will also punish the officers and soldiers of the mistakes, anyway, he will do his best.
What is even more rare is that Lord Lu seems to have read books, understand a lot of things, and will play with a few precision instruments on the boat, draw pictures, and write, which makes a lot of Bai Ding sailors admire.
Yesterday, the fleet acted across a wide strait (Cook Strait), and then turned north to explore the geographical and hydrological situation of this island along the western coastline of another island (North Island of New Zealand).
Several officers, how to name these two islands.
Lord Lu said that on this vast ocean, the island south is like a stone in the sea of Jingwei, dark stacked, and can be called Jingwei Island.
There are tall mountains, like the appearance of the co -workers, which can be called the Gonggong Island. Then the adults of the Governor seem to be very satisfied with these two names. They also praised Master Lu to hear the knowledge and can be the successor of the fleet.
At night, when the fleet was mooring, Master Lu also gave us many officers and soldiers to tell the ancient legendary story of Jingwei reclamation and co -workers. Everyone heard it and has a lot of knowledge.
Zhang Laifu thought of respecting, but thought in his heart. He married his daughter -in -law and gave birth to a baby in the future. You must give your children to study well. Even if you can't get an official, you can at least enter the army.
Famous learned officers.
Of course, during the boat, it was not so smooth. For example, on December 4th, when our fleet entered a northern island's hug bay (now Wellington Bay, New Zealand), a conflict with the local indigenous people. The indigenous people on the shore.
Try to drive us to attack us, and it does not communicate with us first like the indigenous people on the south island on the south.
Well, it may be a group of barbarians. I don't want to contact the people from the outside world. They drive a dozen canoe, holding wooden spears and stones, and want to repel us.
Lord Du Governor immediately ordered the fire to fight back. The gunners on the boat replaced the grape bombs viciously and rushed towards the indigenous ship.
Pain, seven or eight artillery, countless artillery and lead bombs, will definitely hit them with dense holes. We are the sailors who are holding muskets, and even the chances of shooting.
Turn the bow and escape from the shore.
It may be that these indigenous people destroyed our landing operation, so that we had to stay on the boat. Therefore, the gunners were a little angry, and then chased their direction of escape.
The indigenous people who came were killed on the sea.
For more than 20 days, the fleet slowly wrapped around the island to the north-oh, at this time it should be called Gonggong Island-almost half a circle, on the east coast of this island, there are many good landing points.
In the future, it is suitable for establishing immigration settlements. But unfortunately, it seems that these good places have local indigenous people occupy. In order to avoid trouble, we did not try to contact these indigenous peoples.
Of course, with the humble canoe of these indigenous people, it is not possible to threaten us. When we see our ships passing from the shore, they wave their wooden spears and jumps.
Adults said that in the future, the brothers of the Marine Corps will be on the island to let them know the power of modern civilization.
As for what is called modern civilization, I haven't figured it out. However, we want to come, we want to be stronger than the indigenous works on these islands, and the level of living is much higher than them.
Regarding the indigenous people on these two islands, the Governor of the Governor proposed another way of dealing, saying that we should try to assimilate it, and use these indigenous people's brave heart to cultivate our military servants.
To conquer the natives on the Nanyang Island. This move can not only consume the local natives, but also expand the soil for our Qi State to save our own force.
Although I don't know much about the discussion of the adults, I privately feel that the method of the adults of the Governor is really a good suggestion. At that time, the boatmen of the canal boats surrendered to build a slave with Liu Zeqing.
The slave officers are all the original Han people, but they surrendered the slaves very early and became their main "thugs".
The slave stepped step by step, and finally entered the Guan, harmed us millions of Han people.
On January 12, our fleet had bypassed the northeast coast of the Gonggong Island and came to a protruding peninsula area. It was stopped here and took one day.
It is available to eat wild vegetables. Next, we may have to carry out a long range. Because, the adults of the Governor are preparing to end the Communist Party, the exploration of the two islands of Jingwei, and began to explore in the northeast seas of the northeast.
At the temporary stop, we used fishing nets to catch some fish and ate a rich and fresh dinner. The Dudu adults deliberately allowed all officers and soldiers to drink a drink. Whether it was honey wine or shochu, everyone cheered for this. We
Everyone knows that in the future for a long time, we will not have fresh food and drinking water, and we must stay in the small and closed cabin. Maybe it is half a month, maybe one month, maybe one month, maybe
Who knows?
On January 14, the exploration of the fleet sailed, leaving the Gonggong Island (North Island of New Zealand), to the northeast, followed the footprint of the Dutch a few years ago, to find the island called the island they called Tabu (Tongjia) a few years ago.
Then, then
Compared with the voyage of Bliss Island (now Tasmania, Australia) to Jingwei Island (now South Island of New Zealand), the waters where the fleet is driving northeast, whether it is weather or sea conditions, it must seem to seem
It is extraordinarily calm, deserved to be the title of the Pacific Ocean.
However, because of the calm and quiet, the fleet's overall driving speed is not fast, maintaining the speed of two sections per hour, and even at some point, when encountering windless or breeze, the speed of the fleet will be slower.
The sailing time may be twenty days, or for a month, Zhang Laifu can't remember it. At the beginning, the sailors on the boat often asked Master Lu how much distance the distance was sailing daily, but for a long time, everyone didn't seem to have no one.
I am interested. I open my eyes every day and see the endless sea, as if I can never reach the end, and then ask how many voyages I have drove, it seems that it does not make much sense.
There is no flying bird in the sky, which means that our fleet is still far from the mainland or islands, and it floats on the vast sea. Now, the sailors on the boat do not like to speak, and the atmosphere has become very depressed and dignified.
Then, then
It may be that I felt the low morale of the officers and soldiers. In the afternoon of the wind and the sun, the adults of the Governor fell all the sails of two ships and two ships.
Performable fruit cans, share with all officers and soldiers.
Then let the officers and soldiers who were depressed take off their clothes and swim in pain in the sea (I think it is disguised to let sailors take a bath), take out the fishing nets and fishing rods to kill nearby fish, and let everyone enjoy two fresh meals.
I took a bath in the sea and ate a few delicious grilled fish. Zhang Laifu was holding a golden roasted grilled grilled fish and was ready to send it to Lord Lu.
The adults are reporting to the Duoduo. It seems that the position of the fleet has shifted a bit, and the original route has been southeast.
