Chapter 1927: Ainu and whaling
Marin remembers that in the history of the Song Dynasty that he saw in his last life, he mentioned that he sent troops to occupy Hokkaido and raise horses in Hokkaido. But he knows that although the area of Hokkaido's plains is not small, most of them are covered by forests, which is not a grassland suitable for horse breeding.
However, this is not a problem. Because Sauron horses are suitable for jungle activities, they are also familiar with jungles. The Ishikari Plain, Yongfu Plain and Tokachi Plain on the island are good places for raising Sorren horses.
Moreover, the island can also be used as a training ground to train Sauron mercenaries and Savage Jurchen mercenaries in jungle warfare. After all, there are tens of thousands of small Yiyi people on the island, according to what Shuizi said, just for those Saurons and savages.
The Yi people are barbarians in the eyes of the Japanese, but they are not fierce enough. As barbarians, they do not have the bravery of the Northeast fishing and hunting people, and their fighting power is very general. Therefore, they are often crushed by the small Japanese. Thousands of years ago, I lost the northern part of Honshu Island, and then even Hokkaido.
Therefore, although the name is Mani, the Ainu people are very humiliated. After all, the barbarian should be a powerful group. As a result, the Ainu people have become the leveling monsters of the Japanese who are short as elementary school students.
You know, the same barbarians, Jurchens are much stronger than the Ainu. The fighting capability of the northern frontiers of the Ming Dynasty was not bad. At first, the 200,000 Japanese troops that invaded North Korea were repelled. However, in front of tens of thousands of Jurchen Eight Banner Soldiers, the Ming army could only defend the city and protect itself.
According to the current population of tens of thousands of Yi people, it should not be difficult to get tens of thousands of soldiers. However, they still can't beat Japan's famous military, it can be seen how weak they are.
What is this era? Japanese village chief in the Warring States period! In the north, because of being poor, every time I play, there are at most a few hundred small Japanese warriors in the front, and a row of thousands in the back with sharpened bamboo poles and bamboo and wood armor.
In this era, the Japanese army actually relied on the samurai to decide the victory and defeat. The decisive role was only icing on the cake. Even this kind of army can't beat it, and it has been defeated again and again, which shows how bad the fighting capacity of the Yi people is.
As for why this is so, Marin thought about it and thought it might have a lot to do with traditional habits. The Yiyi people are good at making canoes for fishing, and relying on the Hokkaido fishing ground, strictly speaking, fishing activities are more than hunting.
The fishing and hunting nations in the Northeast are said to be fishing and hunting, but because the water surface is frozen for half of each year, most of the time they are hunting.
Hunting, naturally use bows and arrows to hunt animals. Bad luck, I will also encounter Siberian tigers and bear blinds. If you want to live, you can only desperately.
Therefore, the fishing and hunting nations in the Northeast are naturally more aggressive and brave. After all, it was forced out. Hokkaido, where the Yi people are located, is close to the Hokkaido fishing ground. The fishery resources are extremely rich, and there is no need to work hard with tigers and bears in the old forests of the mountains.
In addition, because of its proximity to Mongolia, the fishing and hunting nations in the Northeast not only have great archery but also can ride horses. He is also a sharpshooter and a horseback rider. The fishing and hunting people in the Northeast are naturally stronger than the Yi people.
However, the characteristics of Yiyi people are good at fishing, but Marin really likes it. Because, this can provide a lot of food ...
If the abandoned canoe fishing method is abandoned, and the large fishing grounds and trawls of the North Sea State are replaced, the catch that can be provided will be greatly improved.
Therefore, while letting the barbarian warriors in the outer northeast conquer the island of Yiyi, Marin intends to catch thousands of fishermen from the Yiyi to take them to Newfoundland to let them use big fishing boats to help them catch fish in Newfoundland fishing grounds. In this way, thousands of fishermen ’s labor can be saved and then used for maritime transportation and naval warfare ...
In the North Sea countries, human resources are still lacking. For example, the Newfoundland fishing grounds, Malin arranged for thousands of English and Germans to serve as fishermen, fishing there, and providing enough salted fish for the colonies and the mainland.
If you can get thousands of other fishermen, and help use large fishing boats and trawlers to catch fish together, you will definitely be able to greatly increase the catch output and feed more people.
Moreover, Marin is now ordering people to seize the time to study the whaling gun triggered by gunpowder, specifically for whaling. Once the whaling artillery is successfully developed and cooperated with the large whaling ships, the North Sea will not be short of meat. After all, if you catch a whale, the amount of meat you get is amazing.
In addition, the whaling cannon can also be used specifically to deal with whales that swim fast and cannot be dealt with by the traditional whaling industry. The original traditional whaling can only deal with a few species that swim slowly. In this way, the scope of whaling can also be expanded.
The large whaling ship can cut and refine whale oil on the spot after killing whales with whaling guns. In addition, the whale meat can be divided and preserved and preserved on the spot. If it is a traditional whaling, there is often not enough space to load the whale oil and whale meat obtained after whaling. Even whale oil needs to be refined after docking. However, because the whale oil is not refined in time, it often causes the whale oil fat to deteriorate and emit a smell ...
In addition, most of the traditional whaling uses small boats or even small boats, and often does not take much away after hunting whales. After hunting a whale, most of the whale's contents will be discarded, which is very wasteful.
Therefore, Marin only intends to promote modern whaling, using multiple large vessels and whaling guns to carry out modern whaling. Because the ship is large and the whaling artillery is powerful, it can quickly kill high-speed whales, so the benefits of whaling will also be great.
Once the whale is hunted ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The sailors on the big whaling ship can cut the fat in the whale on the spot and refining the whale oil. Then, cut the whale meat and use the salt carried on the boat to marinate and store the whale meat on the spot.
In this way, most large whales will not be wasted after they are killed. And residents on land can also taste a lot of whale meat, supplementing enough nutrition ...
...
In fact, the Ainu people were originally good at whaling. Marin had seen relevant reports in his previous life, saying that the Ainu people learned to use toxins to extract toxins very early, and then smeared them on whaling forks to kill whales.
It is said that the phytotoxin extracted by the Ainu people has a strong paralytic effect on fish and can accelerate the process of whales losing their resistance. Moreover, the meat of whales that have been laid down by this phytotoxin has negligible impact on humans, and everyone still eats whale meat ...
Therefore, the Ainu people were originally good at whaling races. Newfoundland fishing grounds are particularly rich in whale resources, catching thousands of fishermen, using modern large fishing boats and trawl nets, plus whaling artillery, can provide the North Sea country with very rich whale oil and whale meat resources, greatly improved The quality of life of the people of Beihai.
