Chapter 686
Faith is an indispensable reliance when people are stuck in certain situations in their life.

Even materialists yearn for the existence of gods and Buddhas at some point, even though they know they don't exist.

Faith can make people forget their lives.

If it is mixed with utilitarianism, then the motivation for people is really that they will not hesitate to go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire.

The young Cossack named Egor has changed his appearance now.

Because of the frostbite and the blowing of the cold wind, the traces of vicissitudes are all over the face, and the unshaven beard is no longer the handsome appearance of the past.

What he does the most every day is to pray for the protection of God and the great black banner king Wuerte.

This was 161 days of their expedition deep into the Far East.

It is different from when the governor of Yakutsk sent out to explore and collect taxes from the indigenous tribes under the control area. In the past, it was a suit of clothes, weapons and dry food that could only be maintained for a short period of time. This is the investment of the governor.

If they can't bring enough returns, they won't be able to survive in Yakutsk.

What about this time?
Most of the tribes related to the black flag in the Liaodong area can support them. All the items purchased for expeditions before departure are reimbursed by the government, and their political status is much higher than before.

But even so.

The living environment in the Far East is extremely harsh for human beings, so he can only sincerely pray for the protection of the gods.

The prayers are over, and it's time to write down the notes again.

The clerks in the team were Han Chinese from the customs. They were literate but not proficient in Chinese, and they were not very good at playing. They wanted to apply for an official as quickly as possible, and they had to be high-ranking officials.

Now that I have walked for more than 100 days, I have expressed my regret for at least [-] days.

The remaining fifty or sixty days are spent fighting with nature, and there is no time to call out.

In the large shack made of animal skins and half buried in the ground, when the animal skin curtain was opened slightly, the piercing cold air rushed in immediately, diluting the turbid and smelly smell in the shack, which was extremely refreshing.

"Let's talk."

"Ah."

Yegor saw that the person on the opposite side picked up a pen and was about to start writing the beautiful words. He immediately cleared his throat and began to speak in Chinese with a bad accent: "There have been two indigenous tribes stationed in the Far East for the winter. It's been a month, because the previous tribe didn't have enough food, so we can only transfer to a Chukchi tribe to live.

The ship they sailed to Vladivostok turned back successfully, and brought a lot of good things from Liaodong. We are very grateful to the adults in Vladivostok for the sugar. The natives still hid their gold before, and now they are willing to use a lot of gold. Come in exchange for our supplies."

In the dark corners of the snow-covered land, people here struggle to survive.

The expedition team also had to cower, and even had the intention of retreating a little.

But Yegor couldn't give up the baron title that he might get in the future.

"Let them send the notes this time, and hope God bless them to go back and forth safely again."

A group of native sailors who trained for less than five days completed a long-distance offshore voyage under the command of the sailors of the expedition team, which can only be said to be shocking.

But when these natives knew that there was a powerful and wealthy empire within reach of their south.

If you are willing to include them in the scope of your subjects, you can trade with them, sell them inexhaustible food, and do not impose harsh taxes on them. If you don’t come up, you will plunder them and seize their small living space.

Their longing for a better life makes it seem like they can do anything.

Therefore, whether they were facing the Cossacks or the Black Flag expedition, they were quite suspicious.

why?

They also thought that the land under their feet was the best and the most suitable land for survival.

So much so that those Cossacks came to snatch it.

But after having a small cargo ship, they discovered that it was not the case at all.

There are many places to go that are better than theirs!
So in a sense, there is no difference between the natives of the Far East and the cultural people of Ming Dynasty.

They all need a ship, they need a real gap, and real changes are posted on their faces to help them better understand the world.

As soon as the writing of the expedition record was finished, the curtain outside the door was lifted directly, and the cold wind howled in.

Several figures squeezed in, and one of them quickly closed the curtain.

The leader is the leader of this Chukchi tribe.

"I'm still here to persuade you, this time we want to buy more things, as long as you buy the goods across the sea together in a boat, we can give you more gold, the distance is so far, wait for this time to buy things safely Bring it back..."

Before the translation was finished, Yegor waved his hand resolutely, with a divine light of faith and utilitarianism intertwined on his face: "We must continue to go north! To the end of the land, this is the mission given to me by the Great Regent! "

"Almost half of you are dead, you said it yourself."

"So you have to help us and fulfill the order of the Great Regent. Your sons and daughters, the sons and daughters of your clan can go to Liaodong, and live a good life without hunger or cold for the rest of their lives."

This kind of speech is suitable for those who are in deep water.

Induce them to make a choice.

The leader of the black and blue banner, Zhu Yuxi, also sat quietly in the hall as in the past.

Opposite, is an old priest.

When she was a proton in Xi'an before, she wanted to become a monk to avoid the world, so she often ran to Taoist temples.

Later, he became the banner owner, so he borrowed the old Taoist from the Taoist temple in Xi'an in the past, and was frightened by the old Taoist at that time.

The old Taoist is getting old, not to mention uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, he is prone to dozing off and making a fool of himself in front of others.

So after sitting for an hour, she finally smiled helplessly, got up and stretched her body a little: "Princess, it's not a problem to sit like this all the time. How about going for a walk with the princess?"

"Very good."

It is said to be walking, but in fact it is to open up and talk.

"Princess, if you can't let it go, you can't let it go. Why torture yourself like this."

Auntie Zhu gritted her teeth and said, "But I am a woman after all."

"People outside say that it is improper for women to hold power. The princess can send someone to smash their mouths. This is the post of the banner owner bestowed by His Majesty. Who can take it lightly? Then there is marriage. The relationship between men and women is human nature. If you can't avoid it, you won't avoid it, the princess is a nobleman, how can she look like she's running away in a panic?"

The old Taoist smiled and looked at Aimee Zhu.

Aimee Zhu was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and then laughed twice: "There are a lot of things involved here."

"Not much, not much."

The old Taoist waved his hands again and again: "The poor Taoist really can't stand the princess letting go of such a large army, disregarding the great wealth and power, and just blindly avoiding the world to torture me, an old woman, and please ask the princess to only care about herself. The matter can be entirely up to His Majesty."

 The next chapter is blocked, and the application for lifting the ban has been revised. It is estimated that you will be able to see it in the morning
