Chapter 352 Find the big island
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Brother, this group of Japanese people is really obedient. Ten thousand taels of silver and five thousand taels of gold will be handed over in less than two days."
Wu Song said seriously: "In the future, you will have a lot of dealing with Japanese people. These Japanese people are not as honest as they are today. They are as cunning as wolves. The reason why they paid so quickly is that this battle completely defeated them. A team of more than 3,000 people killed one thousand people and captured two thousand people. If they did not pay the money, the Maori family would be ruined and would be swallowed by other forces and not even left with slag."
This battle should not be too easy for the First Fleet and the Five Hundred Guards. The main ones were the general gunners and giant crossbowmen. The tiger squat cannons fired several times, but not many. As for the archers and other soldiers, they only played a role when salvaging the enemy soldiers.
Not only did he receive compensation, he also signed a trade agreement with the Maori family to build a trade port in the southern part of Hokkaido. Maori Taro was confident that he wanted to trade with the Tongda Commercial Bank.
Of course, trade is done by fleets, and warships play a deterrent role.
The first fleet left Hokkaido and continued northward. There were more islands to go to the north, and there were constant islands in small bundled places.
Wu Song said: "Xiao Qi, give it to your brothers 10,000 taels of silver."
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Is it a little more? This is 10,000 taels? Besides, the fleet received a double salary when it went out to sea."
"Sailors are the bravest soldiers, and they should not be stingy with the bravest soldiers. Although the current fleet development requires a large amount of silver, the bonus must be paid. Five thousand taels of gold are kept for development purposes and cannot be rewarded. However, the ten thousand taels of silver will not be kept. All of them will be paid. You arrange to take out a reward charter, and those who are brave in combat will be rewarded."
"Thank you brother. I arranged the documents and regulations to handle the regulations. If I was issued, I would be distributed at the destination. These guys would go crazy when they were happy." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
There are more whales on the sea surface. I often see dozens of whales traveling around, walking slowly along the way, drawing a chart while exploring the island. At noon that day, Wu Song was resting on the recliner at the bow of the boat. The observer on the mast said: "A huge island was found in the north."
When Wu Song heard this, he felt energetic. Why did he sail for so long? Isn’t it just to find Sakhalin Island? Of course, Sakhalin Island had not been named at this time.
Wu Song stood up and looked north, and saw an island in the distance, which was too far away to see clearly.
"Xiao Qi, please order the fleet to accelerate, and that is likely the island we are looking for." Wu Song said.
"yes."
More than ten minutes later, a huge island appeared in front of you. From a closer distance, it was a road, with mountains, dense pine forests, wide plains in the mountains, clear rivers, and hundreds of elks leisurely grazing on the grass.
"Put down the centipede ship, find the landing point, and confirm safety." Ruan Xiaoqi kept ordering.
It looked full of vitality, but it was deserted, and the port was even less. So Ruan Xiaoqi sent three centipede boats to carefully explore the water conditions on the coast, and soon found a natural port. The water was deeper and suitable for steam warships to dock. The port was sheltered from the wind and could avoid the huge wind and waves on the sea. Six warships entered the port under the guidance of the centipede boat. The vanguard of one hundred people landed. The group of people was led by Zou Run, and they searched near the port with bows and arrows. It was obvious that the island was rare, and elk, yellow sheep, and rabbits were not afraid of seeing people when they were eating grass. Suddenly, a tiger roared out, and a tiger pounced out and took a deer down and took it away.
Zou Run was startled and said, "Come on, don't let wild animals eat it."
"Look, the wolves." A sailor pointed at the river not far ahead, and dozens of wolves were sitting there, looking at the crowd. Obviously they were very unhappy and thought the crowd had invaded their territory.
Eliminating potential threats is the top priority of the vanguard, "Shooting arrows and driving away wolves."
A bow and arrow shot over, puff, puff, puff, more than a dozen wolves were nailed to the ground, and the other wolves fled in a panic.
After searching for several miles, I found dozens of wild boars, and there was no threat from others, so I arrived at the port.
Hundreds of personal guards on the shore are assembling horse-repellent and barbed wire. Other sailors are setting up tents, cutting down trees, marching, fighting and setting up camps. These are the longest training subjects, and it doesn't take too long. Before dark, a solid camp has come out, and there are two watchtowers in the camp gate.
Ruan Xiaoqi immediately announced the reward plan and the bonus was issued immediately.
The team suddenly became excited. The gunners had almost seven to eight taels of silver, and those who made soy sauce also had two to three taels of silver. Even the personal guards who had the least effort took three taels of silver.
Everyone was happy and had a merry night.
One hundred people stayed behind each ship, and all the others landed in the camp to celebrate.
The barbecued elk, seafood, and the jars of good wine and spirits, and the sailors sang ballads.
Wu Song sighed softly and shouted: "Is it good to go out to sea to explore? Do you have any money to get it?"
"It's great to have money to get it." said the sailors.
"Not only money is available, but also land is available. Those who come here this time, even those who cook in the fire are considered to be the most ordinary sailor or soldier. The 20-acre land deeds of the squad leader of ten people, 30-acre land deeds of the captain of the captain of fifty acres, and 50-acre land deeds of the captain of the fleet. This is called military field, which can be passed on to descendants, can be raked by their own family, can be rented, but cannot be bought or sold." Wu Song said.
Although this is just a deserted island, the island is so big that it must be a lot of land, so there is no need to worry about not being able to take out the land to reward everyone. Both the sailors and Wu Song's personal soldiers have special feelings for the land. Now that they have their own fiefdom, their spirits are different.
Jiao Ting said excitedly: "Brother, how much land can I get?"
"Your level is similar to that of the captain. You can get 50 acres of land deeds. Your family probably won't come to plant them. It's good to wait until they are cultivated and rented out. Collecting rent every year is a very happy thing." Wu Song said.
The entire barracks have become a sea of joy. When a soldier has money to get, there are land divisions, and can drink big bowls and eat meat in big mouthfuls. Many people’s first idea is to go home to recruit relatives and friends and make money together.
Night gradually came, and at this time the whistle guarding the outside world issued a warning horn. Ordinary warnings have enemy situations, but there should be no large-scale enemies on this island, so how can the enemy situation come about?
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "What's the situation? Find out quickly."
"The report was that a large-scale wolf pack was found on the north side of the camp, hundreds of which were killed, and three of them were killed on the outside, and the others had retreated."
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "The wolf will give us a warning and the whole army is on guard."
Wu Song said: "You are responsible at sea, and I will command it when I get to land."
