Chapter 780: The beautiful king's territory, the three tribes of the natives

Zhu Huiyan also felt that it was not easy for Zhu Changrun to survive the journey. When Zhu Changrun was in the worst condition and almost died in critical condition, she even regretted taking Zhu Changrun to the vassal state with her.

Now that she has successfully arrived at the Huiwang Territory, the scenery of the land in front of her and the ocean behind her is beautiful, and she is in a good mood.

"Father, when our King Hui is rich, my daughter will build a Buddhist temple for you, and invite a monk from China to serve as a presidency, so that you can accompany you to study Buddhist scriptures."

Hearing this, Zhu Changrun became even happier and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, what a lonely and good daughter, hahaha."

After saying a few words to Zhu Changrun, Zhu Huiyan went to watch the login in person.

When the fleet led by King Hui landed, a small number of the remaining ships continued to sail west along the coastline. It was the last guard of the Yingzhou Dusi of the imperial court, the fleet of the Nangang Guard.

There is Nangang Guard to the west and Southeast Guard to the east, so it is not lonely.

The seaside of King Hui is mainly plain terrain, and there are hills and grasslands inland, which have temperate marine climate. In addition to grasslands and bushes, it is a forest composed of tall trees. The land is opened up more than Yanzhou.

The island is much easier.

But the land here is obviously not as fertile as Yanzhou. Even if you plant wheat, sorghum, and corn, you can only plant one round a year.

Zhu Huiyan naturally considered this a long time ago, so the fleet brought a lot of food, enough for more than 5,000 people to eat for more than a year.

If you add the meat obtained from fishing and hunting here, the wild fruits collected, etc., you can eat them for two years.

Now, when I landed, I saw a large group of fish near the port. The right chief Yuzan had already assigned people to fish.

Goodbye, Princess Kunqing recommended Zuo Changshi Zhu Zhixi to direct the landing in an orderly manner, so Zhu Huiyan went up to the taller tower of the Throne Hui boat and looked at the surrounding things with binoculars.

If it was in the Ming Dynasty, it was late spring, and the world would be green. But as the "Yingzhou" class said, the forests, shrubs and grasslands here were already withered and yellow, and it was in autumn!

The autumn is bright and cool, so it is suitable for opening up fields.

But she didn't know if the crops grown in autumn, such as winter wheat, had no time to plant. After completing the landing, she had to ask the old farmers who were immigrating.

After seeing the overall environment, Zhu Huiyan caught a familiar figure in her eyes - Kangaroo.

It is really as mentioned in the "Yingzhou" class taught by the Emperor, kangaroos are everywhere in Yingzhou.

Every time she landed, she could see the traces of kangaroos on the shore. There were even kangaroos on some islands, and she didn't know how their ancestors traveled across the ocean to the island.

Speaking of which, these kangaroos did not take the initiative to attack people and were born by eating herbs. As a woman, Zhu Huiyan actually thought these kangaroos were quite cute.

But as the female princess of King Hui, she agreed to form a hunting team to hunt kangaroos and make jerky meat in the earlier meeting of the King Hui.

"whale!"

A burst of exclamations came from the ship, which made Zhu Huiyan look at the sea in the south with a telescope.

I saw that a few water columns soared into the sky from the sea, and underneath were huge figures, which were whales.

If the kangaroos everywhere on land were shocked and surprised for the Ming Dynasty immigrants, then the various types of whales that were constantly seen along the way were shocked and surprised.

Whales are naturally much more powerful than kangaroos and are the overlords in the ocean, but Zuo Changshi Zhu Zhixi proposed whaling on the road.

Because whales can not only provide meat, they can also provide high-value materials such as whale oil and baleen.

But Zhu Huiyan refused.

The main reason is that whaling is too dangerous - only coastal fishermen in the Ming Dynasty had the experience of whaling offshore. When King Hui led the recruitment of immigrants, he did not specifically recruit such talents.

She heard that some of the immigrants recruited by the Tang King knew how to catch whales, because the immigrants led by the Tang King mainly came from coastal areas such as Guangdong and Fujian.

Of course, if a whale stranded on the coast of King Hui, she would not stop everyone from killing whales and making profits.

A few days later, the immigration base of Huiwangling in the port was also initially taken.

When the sun sets in the west that day, Zhu Huiyan held a meeting in the royal tent.

The main participants in the meeting were the left and right chiefs of the royal palace, Yu Guowang, the deputy commander of the army, and Yang Shang and others.

"The prince, according to the observations and judgments of many old farmers in the immigrants, Wang Lingzheng should be the time to plant winter wheat, but he needs to plant it earlier. If it is late, there will be no harvest next year.

Therefore, the subordinates suggest that the construction of a house can be concentrated later on, and the manpower can be concentrated on reclaiming fields and planting seasonal crops such as winter wheat." Yu Zan, who is in charge of logistics related matters, said with a look on his face.

This right-ranking chief was in his early forties, with a thin appearance, a clear voice, and a serious face when speaking, and quite majestic.

Zhu Huiyan also had this intention and immediately looked at Zhu Zhixi and asked, "Zuo Changshi, how many people can be squeezed out in all aspects now?"

Zhu Zhixi was 30 years old and had the temperament of an official and gentleman, but at this time he smiled bitterly: "There are nearly 3,000 people who have reclaimed land and farmed, so how many people can be squeezed out in other aspects?"

Yu Zan said: "The hunting team doesn't need many people - what to do when fighting so many kangaroos? The kangaroo meat is not delicious.

In addition, it doesn’t take so many people to build a house. Although the weather is already in autumn, it is still dry. You can wait until the winter wheat is planted before people can build a house."

Zhu Zhixi sighed and said, "I will squeeze out 300 more people."

Yu Zan frowned, "Where are three hundred people enough?"

At this time, Zhu Huiyan said: "Allocate two hundred people from the personal army, each with one yuan per month for land reclamation subsidy, so that they can temporarily join the land reclamation team."

Yu Zan didn't say anything, but Zhu Zhixi said, "Criminal, this matter is not possible. How can only 300 relatives take care of the safety of the immigration base?"

Zhu Huiyan said: "The immigration base is dangerous outside but not inside, but in the past few days, Commander Yu and Commander Yang have explored the surrounding area for thirty miles and found only three native tribes.

The smallest ones are only about 200, and the many are only about 500. Although they are not very civilized, they are not a life-saving game.

Commander Yang has also made transactions with these three tribes and has established friendly relations. We have so many people, and they will not come for no reason."

After Zhu Huiyan finished speaking, Yang Shang (Zhu Huiyan's husband) spoke, "That's true, these three natives are not a problem. Even if they really come, we only need dozens of personal troops to defeat them.

”

"So that's it." Zhu Zhixi had no objection, and then he felt aroused and asked: "Can they be hired to help reclaim the fields with low-priced items? It is not suitable for them to log wood; but they are cleaned up the stones and plant rhizomes in the fields,

I guess they can do it, right?"

Zhu Huiyan looked at Yang Shang.

Yang Shang said: "Tomorrow I will go to the leaders of these tribes to communicate and give it a try."

Although Yang Shang was the deputy commander of the personal army, he actually did not know how to lead troops to fight. On the contrary, he was very talented in leading the team to do business, so he has always been responsible for communicating with the natives in the past few days.

Zhu Huiyan instructed: "The natives are ignorant, so you should pay more attention to safety when communicating with them."

Yang Shang's heart was warmed by his wife's concern, but in front of everyone in the tent, he didn't say much, but just nodded slightly.

The next day, Yang Shang brought a hundred kings to lead his personal army, and then left some sugar, cloth, and pottery.

He first went to the Sosa tribe closest to the immigration base, five or six miles north of the north. The tribe name was Yang Shang's name because the leader of the tribe always liked to say "Sousa (say Sa?)" before speaking.

Even the name of this leader made Yang Shang called "Sousa". He didn't know if the other party understood it, but he didn't object anyway.

When they arrived near a river, Yang Shang and others saw simple tents made of animal skins and wooden sticks by the river.

The Sousa tribe has the largest number of people among the three tribes, with more than 500 people, so there are one or two hundred tents by the river, which is quite large.

Yang Shangling was waiting here with fifty people, and he only brought another fifty people and goods for exchange.

Before he could approach, more than a hundred people came out of the Sosa tribe. The leader was a middle-aged strong man with yellow and black skin, black curly hair, feathers on his head, white patterns on his face.

native.

This strength is only compared to other natives. In fact, this native is only in his early 1.6 meters and has a big belly.

Seeing that it was Yang Shang and others, the leader smiled and said loudly: "Say it! @#%"

Yang Shang also smiled and said, "Sousa! I'm here to deal with you!"

Then, Yang Shang gestured with the leader of Sosa there, plus some physical movements.

After communicating in the past few days, Yang Shang discovered that the indigenous gestures here were quite complicated and could express a lot of meanings - but unfortunately he didn't understand.

Fortunately, natives have a high understanding of body language.

After struggling for more than half an hour, Yang Shang finally made the leader of Sousa barely understand the meaning of his desire to hire someone to work.

The reason why it is said to be forced is that Yang Shang understands that most of these natives do not have the concept of hiring people to work.

Sure enough, he made a lot of trouble later, so that the leader of Sosa led a hundred young and strong men to return to the immigration base with him.
