Chapter 293: On the way north
Yan Changwu took two fifth-class cruise ships, four sixth-class cruise ships, two supply ships and four big blessing ships along the coast of the Kingdom of Korea, receiving supplies from time to time. The local officials and people along the way welcomed them warmly.
Whether it is a native of the country, or the husband and wife of the country, the officials and the people are eager to welcome and please them, so that they can get fresh drinking water, vegetables, and fresh meat from poultry and livestock.
What is commendable is that the Southeast Fleet’s attitude when it came to visit the land, according to the principle of fairness in buying and selling, purchased the other party's materials at market prices, so that the North Korean officials and people made a small profit. They were full of praise.
Some officials have experience, and they feel even more hateful. The Houjin people are arrogant. They came to North Korea for forced extortion. Things don’t count if they are not paid. If they are not good, they are beaten and scolded, not just scolding. It was punches and kicks, and the reception officials were miserable!
In contrast, going to a country is going to a country, and the quality is very good! !
Alas, it's a pity that Shangguo couldn't win the war with Houjin barbarians. The North Korean officials hope that Shangguo will win!
They have ideas here, and similarly, the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Fleet also have great feelings.
They berthed beside a larger North Korean city, supplying supplies and organizing visits.
At first glance, the Kingdom of Korea is far from my southeastern government!
The buildings throughout the Kingdom of Korea are low and low, even if the city’s appearance is far less than that of the ten towns of Taiwan in Southeastern Prefecture, the streets are small and not counted, and the goods are scarce. Hygiene work, garbage collection is very good.
The North Korean people generally have a dishonorable face, and they are obviously undernourished, leading to short stature.
Needless to say, the clothes are made of crude homespun except for the silks and satins used by the dignitaries.
Their military strength is very miserable. The west coast of North Korea is a little better. The navy on the east coast is mostly small boats. There are few big ships, very thin-skinned ones, and the army is negligent in training, looking lazy and lacking energy, and poorly equipped. There are not many guns, and few matchlocks, bows and arrows, hey, small bows and arrows, the navy is generally equipped with knives and guns.
Can this fight a water war?
If you are not afraid of bad, you are afraid of comparison. After you have seen it, you will love your Southeast Mansion even more!
The Kingdom of North Korea has been established for hundreds of years, but my southeast government has only been established for a few years, which is dozens of times shorter. But what achievements have we made!
There is no need to compare with the Kingdom of Korea, that is, compared with the mainland, and many parts of the mainland can't compare with my southeast province!
Of course, the mainland’s humanities, culture, productivity, and buildings are incomparable to us, but the people’s life in the Southeast Mansion really surpasses the general public on the mainland. Together with the strength of the military, we can now boast: we Good job!
The pride in everyone's hearts spontaneously arises.
...
In the waters of Busan in the Kingdom of Korea, a merchant ship from the southeast prefecture stayed and waited there, and then sent a small boat to load a few people and drove it over to the flagship to be two dwarfs.
Was originally a Japanese!
They are all big pie faces of water, calves, small eyes, and they are no more than 1.5 meters tall. Everyone should look down at them (without slandering them. Until 19 AD, Japanese people were very short in stature, which makes a lot of sense. Simple, no nutrition), their arms are abnormally thick, almost as thick as their turnip calves.
They are two brothers, named Yamaki Daro and Yamamoto Jiro, from Wada Town, Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture in the southern part of Edo. This place is a whaling fishing village with a long history in the country. The locals are skilled in whaling and slaughtering whales, and whale meat. It is one of the staple foods of the locals.
The area of Wa is small and there is not enough land. There is no place to raise cattle, sheep and livestock, so I have to eat more fish.
The reason why Yamaki Daro and Yamamoto Jiro were favored by the Southeast prefecture, they were good whalers, so they were lucky enough to be selected to help the country catch whaling.
Whaling in the country has a long history. Take Hota Town as an example. Southern Hammer Whales go for food near the Boso Peninsula in Hota Town every June. The whaling season for local fishermen lasts until September.
However, whaling in the country is mostly offshore, with few offshore operations.
When they got to the flagship, they immediately knelt down to Yan Changwu. Yan Changwu comforted them with an interpreter and asked them to show their skills to help the army kill whales and reward them!
The brothers kowtowed their heads sincerely, the Chinese people were generous, paid enough to buy their lives, and brought knives and guns. How dare you offend such high-rollers!
They brought the guys to eat: the whaling fork and the whaling axe. The former is used to hunt whales and the latter is used to kill whales.
The formation has been heading north and has left the scope of the Kingdom of Korea. They saw the boundless land on the coast, and also saw dense forests, all of which are coniferous forests. Looking at the past, there is a green sea!
There are also countless birds and beasts hidden in the woods and rivers flowing into the sea.
It’s a scene like this all the way. Others just say "very rich!" Others say "It's very cold, and people will freeze to death in winter!"
Yan Changwu looked unhappy, because he knew that this vast and infinite wilderness was originally the area of my Greater China. There were also traces of Ming dynasty officials in those areas. The Ming dynasty was on the opposite bank of the Xianggun River Mouth (Amgun River Mouth). The Nurgandu command and envoy was established in the Trin area to govern the Heilongjiang and Ussuri river basins, including the Sakhalin island further north. A guard station was once set up, and the tribes on the island sent formal tribute to the Ming government. delegation.
Later, the old wild boar skins rose, and this area was taken over by him. It was enough to take over, and finally ceded to Lao Maozi...
There is no need to mention the sad past, now Young Master Yan is here, and he believes that he is responsible for keeping the land and he must not lose any inch of territory!
...
Fleet sailing, there are charts along the way!
The geographical distribution and water depth of the sea area are clearly marked, so that the fleet can safely navigate according to the map without any leaks.
Moreover, the distribution of people and the geographical situation on the shore are also drawn~www.wuxiaspot.com~The fleet can send people ashore to fetch water at intervals, and shoot and kill some birds and beasts by the way.
There is no one anywhere, so there is no need to worry about enemy attacks.
With such a smooth flow, the hydrogeological exploration team set up by Yan Changwu is divided into two groups, which belong to the army, and sail all the way north. The farthest point has been the Sea of Okhotsk and the Kamchatka Peninsula in the north of Sakhalin. , The southernmost is already active in the Strait of Malacca!
In the name of trade, they are actually spy ships. At first there were only two ships in each brigade. The ships and funds increased year by year. So far, each brigade has ten big ships and dozens of small boats, so that the fleet always has seas. Tu Keyi became one of the reasons why senior officers were convinced of Yan Changwu.
What's better than having a chart during an ocean voyage!
Not only that, because the boss was dispatched, the Hydrogeological Exploration Brigade specially sent the captain Huo Yonghe, who had traveled several northern routes to the Kamchatka Peninsula, as the pilots of the fleet and guided them to the southern tip of Sakhalin. Japanese stronghold.
Yes, the Japanese people are already active in the southern tip of Sakhalin.
