open sea

Chapter 614
Magui, who is far away in North America, has no way of imagining how famous he has become. In the land across the sea and the ocean, his name is known to everyone.

In recent years, with the prosperity of publishing and printing in Nanyang, the extraordinary market culture has been driven from south to north. Dozens of down-and-out novelists supported by the Chen family have worked tirelessly to write heroic stories of characters who went to sea one after another.

These heroic ambitions are difficult to be recognized by the mainstream culture, but whether they are pawns in the market or dignified officials and bachelors, they have all seen them—the only difference is whether they like to share them with others.

"This magui is amazing. In such a ghostly place of ice and snow, Yu Chaozhong died once, and he was still able to stand on his feet. The latest issue of Heroes said that the court had learned of their whereabouts and sent a fleet to search for them. No—but isn't America bigger than ours?"

The person who said this was none other than Yang Zhaolong in the northwest of Xinming Island, holding a jug and feeding raw meat to wild dogs. He didn't read books, and he didn't read books. Read it to him word for word.

In fact, the environment of Bozhou people landing in Xinming is not much better than that of Amerika, where Magui landed. This impermanent climate is another extreme. The barren land is reclaimed and the harvest is not good. There could be more reclaimed. However, as the pathfinders sent by Yang Zhaolong went south, the land became barren, and the end of each river was endless desert and Gobi.

Even where there are green trees, the land is dry and yellow, and it is not as green as the tropical forests on the neighboring islands in the north of Xinming.

It's okay if the form is difficult to get to this place, there are still snakes everywhere, and there are super strong marsupial rabbits on the road that come up to fuck anyone they see, and they really can't beat it with bare hands.

But Yang Zhaolong is good in Xinming Island, and the transportation is convenient.

Set sail from Yanglai Bay to the northwest, reach Tangmin Island in [-] days, and reach Sulu in [-] days. The pirates followed Lin Afeng to harm the west of Malacca. No more trouble, sea navigation is very safe, and the prosperous environment of the trade route is much better than the barren land of North America.

It's just that the temperature is almost the same throughout the year, which makes Yang Zhaolong miss Zhongtu with four distinct seasons.

There are more and more people in Yanglai Bay. At first, it was only a few hundred families in Bozhou brought by Yang Zhaolong. Later, a few small tribes around were gathered together, so that the number of people under each household reached [-]. Living in a nomadic way with legs, and occasionally going to Yang Lai Bay to rest, everyone agrees that Yang Zhaolong is the king of this land and pays homage to him.

There is no trade relationship, which seems to be due to the lack of enemies. The tribe here seems to be much friendlier than the tribes in the Yunnan-Guichuan mountain area. When they wandered to Yanglaiwan, they offered him the good things they picked up on the road. Strange branches, stones with weird shapes, bones from slaughtered animals, and sometimes the fur that is worn on the body is too hot to give to Yang Zhaolong.

At first, Yang Zhaolong thought that this kind of relationship was an unstable trade, but he always found that the natives here would forget to take away the goods he gave them after the 'trade', and had to send people to chase them and stuff them. Only then did he realize that this was a gift.

He never knew where this favor came from. He didn't tell him until a few local natives learned the language with him for more than half a year and could speak Chinese clearly, because everyone thought he was very powerful, leading the huge The tribe lives in a woodland area with water sources, wears strange costumes, and can tame more than a dozen big dogs. Everyone envies him and thinks he is a fairy, so occasionally come to see if he is dead.

People who live without being nomads - that's weird.

During the long-term mutual gifting, Yang Zhaolong understood a little bit how the Son of Heaven felt about the tribute, that is, these strange branches, strange stones, animal bones and furs on his body were offered to him with goodwill, but in fact It is of no use.

When Chen Mu sent people to send Duzhangman to Xinming, the land they cultivated was not enough. On the long coastline, their fleet found green land everywhere, but the green land can be as short as ten miles inland, and as long as it is long. After hundreds of miles, there are deserts and Gobi, and it is impossible to feed tens of thousands of people.

The first batch of thousands of Duzhangman people were assigned to various valleys and woodlands along the coast near Yanglai Bay to reclaim and cultivate them. They were all separated by deserts and could not communicate with each other, occupying a coastline as long as [-] miles.

Some places have forest farms, some have rocky mountains, some places can grow vegetables, some places can hunt, and some places can raise livestock. Two large trading ships sail back and forth in this sea area, trading with themselves all day long.

Immediately after, Manila sent a large number of livestock, and Yang Zhaolong jumped up in anxiety, "I can't even feed people, how can I raise so many animals? My brother-in-law wants to send a lot of wild animals, and his brother-in-law will be hungry immediately." Die here!"

As for the mine that Chen Mu asked him to find, there is still no place for it. Yang Zhaolong has been busy supporting himself and his subordinates for a whole year. In this new continent with magnificent scenery but harsh environment and barren land, they have already struggled to support themselves and are powerless at all. Exploring inland, it is impossible to find mines.

It took nearly two years before they were able to use the income from cutting down trees and fish to exchange for the necessities of life with the trade fleet, just to ensure a balance of income and expenditure.

Three months after Yang Zhaolong uttered these words, a fleet sent a letter from Chen Mu to the north, opening the door to a new world for Yang Zhaolong.

"My brother-in-law just believes that there are mines here, and there are a huge number of them. Do you have to find them?"

Yang Zhaolong complained rather irritably, and ordered four maids to pack his luggage.

"I need to prepare four sets of clothes. Take out the breastplate and hat with the inscription of the Nanyang Army Mansion. I want a boat, a sword, and I don't think I will need a sword. Take a dagger for self-defense. I want the Indian pattern." Steel."

A few maidservants packed up their clothes, Yang Zhaolong stood in the room and opened his arms, then closed his eyes and waited for the armor to be put on by himself.

First, the armor skirt made of folded iron sheets is wrapped around the brocade gown with a round neckline, and the wide cowhide belt with Nanyang buckle is crossed on the shoulders and returned to the waist to be fastened. The slightly longer armor just covers the back waist, while the front is slightly shorter to expose the two rows of gunpowder cartridges on the waist belt.

The throat guard hanging on the chest was also brought up and buckled up, tightly protecting the neck and chin, the steel armbands on the arms were also tied up, and finally the helmet with a cloth-covered mail curtain.

These military tools were skillfully put on Yang Zhaolong's body by the maid, and he opened his eyes again, took the dagger handed to him, grabbed the wheel flintlock from the table and put it in his waist, and held it up. The heavy Shenmu kills the blunderbuss.

After looking at Zixiong for a moment, Yang Zhaolong put down his heavy gun and embraced the two young and beautiful maidservants one by one on the left and one on the right and kissed them one by one, then he grinned and said: "It's still most comfortable to have you here, bring our tableware Tea set, let's go exploring!"

　Good morning!
