Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Most of the nautical maps issued by the imperial court use numbers instead of place names, indicating that they have not yet been named, but there are also a few places that already have names, such as this Seattle.

Shi Lang put down the binoculars and said, "Send an order to go down and prepare to land. Tell the marines to be careful. According to the information given by His Majesty, there are quite a few natives in this area."

"Yes!"

Following Shi Lang's order, the fleet anchored near a natural harbor (Port Angeles) on the south side of the bay.

Then Gan Hui, the head of the Marine Corps, personally took a team of people ashore in an assault boat.

After landing, Gan Hui saw a low mountain forest in the distance, with many tall trees that needed two or three people to embrace or even thicker.

The beach area is not large. Although the shrub belt between the mountains and forests has withered and yellowed, it can still be imagined that it was lush and lush in the past.

Looking at the scenery, Gan Hui really wanted to express his emotions by singing a poem suitable for the occasion, but he couldn't help saying: "The land here is so fucking fat!"

The rest of the Marines felt nothing wrong.

Instead, they nodded in agreement.

"It's really fucking fat!"

"It's a pity that no one grows crops on such a fertile land!"

"The imperial court didn't say that this place is just some natives, it is equivalent to a land without owner, and now it belongs to our Ming Dynasty, haha!"

After a burst of "sentiment", Gan Hui immediately dispatched four teams of ten people, each team was divided into two groups, and explored three miles around.

He took the last ten people to stay on the coast to meet the follow-up landing team.

Later, another [-] marines came, and they also carried five tiger squatting guns, looking for a suitable place to deploy on the coast.

Then came the engineering team, who landed directly with the prefabricated panels and wooden piles on the ship, and planned to build a simple bridge first, so that more people could carry other tools ashore.

Since leaving Daming Ezo and coming here, everyone has landed in countless uninhabited lands in half a year, and they are extremely skilled in all kinds of related work, and thinking that this landing can take a long period of rest, everyone started working It's very easy to come.

Standing on a high place, Gan Hui took out a palm-sized clock and looked at it, only to find that a quarter of an hour had passed.

Immediately, he saw an exploration team rushing towards the shore, in a hurry but not in a hurry.

When he saw that all ten people had left the forest, and none of them was missing, Gan Hui felt relieved.

After Nashi Changben came back, he immediately reported to Gan Hui, "Mr. Qian, we have encountered forty or fifty natives, and they are chasing this way!

Most of them wear animal skin clothes, and carry bows and arrows, spears, hammers and axes with short handles, but they are basically made of bone, stone or wood. "

The marines are also scouts, so the chief came and reported the situation quickly and concisely.

But those natives also came very fast, and just after Shi Chang finished his report, they came out of the forest.

When they saw Gan Hui and other large groups of people on a sloping field, they stopped immediately.

Immediately, a person came out and yelled something loudly.

"What are they talking about?"

"How would I know? I'm afraid no one on our side can understand what the natives say."

"···"

Hearing the low-pitched discussions of the soldiers, Gan Hui asked Shichang again: "Have you fought with them?"

"It's not counted as hands-on. They shot a few arrows at our side, but they missed people, and then we retreated."

Gan Hui expressed his understanding, and immediately walked towards the natives with Yishiren and some things.

It seems that there are few people, and the natives are not afraid.

Although the soldiers of the Marine Corps were not nervous, Gan Hui still habitually said something to ease his emotions.

He smiled and said, "According to Supervisor Yu, these natives probably came from us tens of thousands of years ago.

It was the sea to the north when we came, and it would freeze when it was very cold, so they came over through the ice. "

Shi Chang continued: "So they are still the same ancestors as us?"

Gan Hui said: "We can't talk about the same ancestor, we should talk about the same origin."

Whoosh!
A bone arrow landed in front of Gan Hui and the others.

Gan Hui and the others stopped in their tracks, obviously the other party was warning them not to get any closer.

But this distance is already within the range of their flintlock guns.

As a senior officer in the squadron, Gan Hui knew what their mission was here, so he didn't kill for no reason.

He took out a small clay pot from the burden, took out the white sugar inside and ate it, making a delicious and intoxicating gesture, and then put the clay pots in the middle of each other.

A native youth came up and took the pot away, and ate some of the white sugar inside with his fingers, then his eyes lit up, and he chattered to his companions.

So more than a dozen natives tried the white sugar one after another, and all of them became excited and looked excited.

More natives wanted to try it, but were stopped by the leading middle-aged man.

At this time, Gan Hui took out a short wooden sheath knife to perform wood cutting.

Although this short knife is made of iron instead of steel, it is still very sharp when cutting wood.

Seeing this scene, the natives on the opposite side stared wide-eyed, showing expressions of shock and fear.

Obviously, this was the first time they had seen such a sharp weapon.

Gan Hui smiled and placed the dagger between each other.

The leader of the natives on the opposite side showed unbelievable surprise first, and then hurriedly asked someone to come forward and take the dagger.

He tried it himself, and immediately couldn't put it down, his face was full of excitement.

Finally, holding a short knife, he led his companions to shout to express their excitement.

After they were done, they put all the dozen or so small prey they had caught in the open space, and gestured that they belonged to Gan Hui and the others.

Gan Hui smiled and asked people to take it back.

Then he started further communication.

He asked people to take out ten sugar bowls and five short knives, and put them on the open space.

Then he pointed to the port where they landed, then pointed to the surroundings, and made a gesture of his own.

At this time, the natives noticed the ten large ships floating in the sea, and they were stunned for a while.

Immediately, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and worshiped him!
Gan Hui and others were not surprised by this.

They also encountered natives on some islands along the way, and when they saw their large ships, they all bowed down and worshiped them as gods.

The yellow-skinned, black-eyed natives in front of them were obviously the first time they had seen such a large sea-going ship, and they worshiped in shock.

After the worship was over, the leader decisively put away the sugar bowl and dagger, and made a gesture that the port and its surrounding areas could belong to Gan Hui and the others.

Then he gestured to emphasize that the other side of the mountain was their territory, and Gan Hui and others were not allowed to hunt.

The above are all Gan Hui's guesses, and he doesn't know whether they are completely correct.

Therefore, when these natives left, he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he said to several marines: "Be careful and strengthen your vigilance!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the other three teams came back, said they hadn't met anyone, and described the surrounding terrain. Then Gan Hui took out the walkie-talkie and reported what happened to Shi Lang...
Ningbo ship.

Yu Chenglong, Yao Qisheng and Shi Lang were standing on the deck together, watching with binoculars.

In fact, they had seen what happened on the shore just now.

After listening to Gan Hui's report, 27-year-old Yao Qisheng stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "It seems that the natives here are not only similar in appearance to us, but also not difficult to communicate with, so we will hire them to do things in the future." It shouldn't be difficult."

Yu Chenglong, who is already 34 years old, is more stable. He said: "It is still necessary to ascertain the distribution of the forces of the surrounding natives as soon as possible, and even figure out the relationship between them, so as to avoid being besieged."

After hearing this, Yao Qisheng couldn't help but said: "With their weapons and equipment, even if thousands of people come to besiege, we can easily defeat them. Why should the supervising army worry?"

Yu Chenglong frowned and said: "We are here to set up strongholds and open up bases, not to fight the natives!"

Yao Qisheng is bohemian by nature, even a bit rebellious, and he is not afraid of Jackie Chan, a superior, who will continue to argue when he opens his mouth.

Along the way, Shi Lang had already understood the tempers of the people around him, and hurriedly said: "Don't argue, we'd better complete the landing as soon as possible——if this place is really suitable for establishing a base, we have a lot of things to do later. Then you won't be so free."

Shi Lang's temper is also relatively tough, while Yu Chenglong's character is stubborn and serious.

It is not easy for a leadership combination like the American Exploration Squadron to come to Seattle safely.

First more.
