Chapter 963: Kind native

"Quick, get to the shore." At this time the captain said calmly and loudly.

"It's docked." All the people on the boat were waiting hopefully after they docked. Bring them great dreams of wealth.

"As soon as we get to the shore, do we get rich?" asked a younger Korean mercenary.

"I don't know. But we are not far from wealth." said a slightly older mercenary. The purpose of their coming here is just to make a fortune.

"Prepare to dock," a sailor shouted loudly. The ship docked slowly.

The waves of the sea slapped this undeveloped virgin land.

"Quickly, put our flag in." The South Korean businessman shouted happily.

And behind him are some exhausted South Korean mercenaries who exhausted their strength to board this new land.

"This land will be mine from now on." The businessman called out loudly.

"I want to build a house the size of a palace here. I also want to get a lot of salt fields here." The businessman began to plan his grand plan. The mercenaries behind him obviously didn't have such a great idea. What they are thinking about now is how to fill their stomachs so that they can recover.

"Someone." This time. A mercenary shouted loudly.

And everyone was nervously scheduled to stop. The businessman looked around nervously.

"It's an indigenous person." Another mercenary shouted nervously after seeing it.

"Prepare to shoot." At this moment, a sailor took the flintlock in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Don't shoot." A mercenary stopped.

"Hurry up and shoot, they will get close to us." The businessman shouted nervously. When the indigenous people really come. The businessman has completely lost that greedy nature.

"Don't shoot, we can't beat them at all now." The mercenary stopped.

After the people around heard this sentence. They all looked at each other. There are only six of them. There were only four people who could shoot and fight, and the aboriginal people who came across were obviously more than four, but many. At least a tribe.

"If we shoot, we will die. Maybe they are very friendly to us." The mercenary said at this time. The reality is that even if a whole ship comes, they can hardly resist. Because many people have lost their combat effectiveness, so they will not be able to fight.

Because of their draft, the ships need a small boat to ferry them to the shore. And those mercenaries who have been wandering for many days have been unable to adapt to life on the ship. At this time, they are very weak.

"Okay. Let's try it." This time. The sailor put down his rifle, he wanted to survive. The matter of getting rich has been put behind my head.

"Woo la la." The aboriginals were obviously very happy. An aboriginal wearing a lot of feathers and deerskin yelled something. The aboriginal people around quickly surrounded them. It seems that there is no natural conflict between them.

The indigenous people brought a lot of food. These foods are all Korean foods that have never been seen before. The people on the big boat, seeing this situation at this time, also put down the ferry boats and drew to the shore to meet them.

The hospitable indigenous people quickly introduced these "guests" into their homes.

Human exploration does not only come from danger and suspicion, but more often. It is the locals who welcome those "guests from afar" as a kind of host. Traveling with weapons is obviously a bit burdensome.

Soon, the first batch of South Korea arrived in this undeveloped place. Received the warm hospitality of the local indigenous people. And these Koreans came with weapons, and their purpose is to conquer here. Enslave the local people. But now, they are treated like guests. This is a historical joke.

In fact, there is a bigger joke. The place discovered by the Koreans is not the mainland. It's an island. From the later personal diary records and logbook records. With the help of the northeast wind, the Koreans made them discover a large island, which is today’s Taiwan.

It’s a coincidence that the Koreans originally wanted to discover the Vietnamese area that entered the land from the sea along the coastline. But their luck is a bit bad, they were blown to the sea by the northeast wind in winter. If they continue to sail, it is likely to be a disaster, because they will enter the Pacific Ocean, where they may encounter some small islands. However, there are more disasters, lack of water, food, and various disasters and storms that often occur at sea. These may completely destroy them.

Fortunately, their captain realized the danger in time, and they began to turn to the west, hoping to return to the mainland as soon as possible. If they are late, they will have a great disaster.

During the westward journey, they mistakenly regarded Taiwan’s eastern coastline as the mainland, and they quickly landed on the coast here, and here. It was originally the place where the Vietnamese were indigenous.

The indigenous people here probably arrived here from the sea, that is, by boat from the mainland. The reason why they reached the eastern coast is probably because they crossed the entire island of Taiwan. Just lived here. Perhaps these indigenous people do not know it themselves. This is an island, and it's a big island. Because they cannot perceive the specific size of this island.

The Koreans accidentally discovered this island, but they originally came here to make a fortune, but now, they can't make a fortune. Because they have been wandering at sea for too long. After a long time of wandering, they have been unable to maintain their physical strength to fight. They desperately need to rest and regain their original strength. Only in this way can they go to war.

The Koreans only started the war. When transporting their wealth back to the country. They will discover that they accidentally discovered a big island. However, this is something for the future, and this matter needs to be put on hold for a long time. They need to regain their strength.

This unintentional discovery by the Koreans will reveal a historic side.

And in the mainland. Today Fujian, the location of eastern Guangdong. There is the territory of Chu people. More and more Chu people joined the hunting activities, and a large number of slaves were hunted by the Chu people and transferred to the Qin people.

The people of Chu developed along the coastal line, because their navigation skills were not very mature, they did not have knowledge of latitude and longitude, and they did not have such instruments as maritime clocks and sextants, so their expansion was along the coast. Line unfolded.

It was indeed a big accident for the Koreans to discover the island of Taiwan. They neither had any advanced knowledge, nor did they have any advanced equipment to help them discover the island. On the contrary, they only relied on luck, these lucks. It is enough for them. If it were not for the effect of the winter monsoon and the captain's awareness of self-danger, then it is very likely that they would have been buried in the sea long ago. Or, they will wander farther, and in the end they will also be unable to escape bad luck.

People in Chu and South Korea have boldly tried their sailing careers, but on the contrary, the people of Qin have not made any progress in this regard.

Qin is still a traditional land country, and the country's strategic policy still stays on land. For the ocean, there is not enough interest to divert their strategic attention. Moreover, Qin State only values ​​the shipbuilding industry, ship transportation industry and so on. These industries are enough for them to obtain more huge profits.

Some Chu merchants who made a lot of money from slaves are buying some iron-clad ships, which are faster and carry more people and materials. They want to use more speed to meet their needs, but there are still some technical and logistical requirements, but this way a certain number of ships will be enough for them.

But more Chu merchants once again chose wooden ships. These ships rely on sails, which means that they have less logistical pressure. Moreover, the cost is relatively cheap. By building twenty such wooden ships, one can build an iron-clad ship. It can be said that ironclad ships are expensive.

In addition, there is also the relationship between the State of Chu, and the State of Qin cannot cross the threshold of the State of Chu, because the State of Chu will occupy the entire downstream position, and if the State of Qin wants to open up a maritime business, it must pass the threshold of the State of Chu. Obviously, if you cross the Chu Kingdom, you must destroy the Chu Kingdom. And Qin currently does not have such ability. Their military strength is extremely limited, and they cannot deploy their troops to launch a war against Chu State.

There are many reasons why Qin State’s navigation career has not made significant progress. However, the most important thing is that Qin State itself does not have this kind of awareness of developing navigation. Although Shangwen has always emphasized this point in Qin State, Qin State still It is a traditional land country, in their view. Growing food on land is far more useful to develop those maritime undertakings.

In addition, Qin's land surrounding environment is relatively special. The more Qin's territory expands, the more enemies there will be around Qin. Qin needed more and more national defense forces. And this way. Qin Guo's attention was completely shifted to this. And Qin naturally didn't give such a big heart to the sailing cause.

"We still haven't gone to sea. We haven't even seen the sea. Even though we have a navy, the navy has never seen the sea. Is this the real sea?" Shang Wen often asked himself.

"Our navy can only be called the navy now." Shang Wen said to himself. Shangwen attaches great importance to navigation, but has not made any progress. Shangwen is very helpless. Qin is a land country and there is no need to develop navigation.
