open sea

Chapter 1135 Good Luck
Zhang Si's boat is full of losers in life, and most of them have similar experiences.

They went to sea out of failure, and they failed even more when they went to sea. Some people were honest and timid, and missed many opportunities for wealth and wealth;

The devastated island of Ireland is their last hope.

The ship originally wanted to use Li Yuxi's light to go to England to sell goods, but it was heard at sea that the Restoration Army had arrived in Ireland. After traveling around the sea for a long time, it finally landed at the mouth of the Lagan River in the northeast of the big island.

Some people's luck is not very good. If Zhang Si chooses to use this boat to help Li Yuxi sell Muye cigarettes when he leaves Daxi Port, he may be able to earn Tongbao that he could not earn in the past ten lifetimes.

But he chose to bring a group of irrelevant people from Daxi Port. Except for [-] pieces of cotton cloth and hundreds of woolen blankets, the boat was not food or water. He even knew that he had landed in the Kingdom of Alan. The ground came to my mind, and I began to count those who brought self-defense weapons and those who had military experience when they boarded the ship.

They follow the crowd, say they are here to do business?It might be, after all, there were still some frivolous goods on board, but when selecting the goods, everyone cleverly avoided Daming's overseas products with the highest added value.

Can you say that they are a bit like colonists?More than half of the crew and passengers didn't even have knives for self-defense. There were [-] guns in total, but Chang Sheng's training on the immigration organization Baojia helped them. Almost all of them had touched weapons.

Maybe they themselves don't know what it is to come to the Kingdom of Alan without fear of thousands of miles of waves.

They really can't do anything, just like Ying Ming's first thought after the vanguard arrived in Alan Kingdom, this place is different from what they imagined.

After landing in the river mouth for several days, 86 people were divided into five teams. Except one team stayed behind to watch the ship, the four teams explored in four directions ranging from tens to hundreds of miles, but they couldn't find anyone who could communicate.

"It's easy to find people. There are people 46 miles to the west, [-] miles to the northwest, and to the north, but they don't understand the language, and they're not very friendly."

The four teams reunited by the river after the expedition. The person who spoke was Wang Quan, a retired flag soldier from the Eastern Army. He lost his left arm in the battle with Spain in Changsheng. In his hometown, he bought [-] mu of land in Changsheng and brought his family over.

However, Wang Quan was not content with the status quo and became a farmer. He went to Daxi Port to apply for a mercenary instructor.

With the experience of veterans, he helped everyone a lot during the voyage.

When Wang Quan spoke, he scratched his mouth with his only right hand, and said: "If you want to stand firm, you have to fight with them sooner or later. You can't do without weapons, what do you think?"

He didn't ask Zhang Si. Wang Quan knew Zhang Si's character so well after the voyage together. He was a good old man who valued peace. He couldn't understand why such a person would take a boat to the sea and go to Ailan country where the war was taking place. Come.

He was asking about a Changsheng aborigine who carried a short spear, an iron ax at the waist, and wore a Jinghai suit and a Westerner's breastplate, but was decorated with animal bones and feathers. He was pierced with animal bones in the middle of his nostrils and lower jaw. A young man with a very strong body. His name is White Tiger.

The white tiger is the son of Baitao, the chief of the White Horse Alliance. He is an outstanding hunter in the tribe. His unique skill is to single out the big golden cat with a short spear. It was under the order of Baitao to follow the footsteps of the Dongyang Army Mansion to the Alan Kingdom to see if it is suitable for business.

He brought five warriors from the tribe, and Wang Quan cared more about the opinions of the six of them, because if there was a battle, they could fight side by side with the veterans.

But the white tiger seemed absent-minded about the possible conflict. He squatted on the ground with a pipe in his hand, grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it carefully, looked at the bow of the boat and said, "The soil here is very good. We grow potatoes, dig wells, and there are boats coming from the river mouth." , sell them."

Bai Tao is probably the best among the aboriginal chiefs. The process of capital accumulation is extremely smooth. He easily mobilized his troops to unload goods at the dock and earned the first pot of gold. Afterwards, he got a loan from Chen Mu to buy short. Changsheng's value plummeted Cocoa beans, and when he returned from the north, he became the largest slave trader and fur trader in Asia.

Later, in a few years, the caravans of the White Horse Alliance expanded rapidly. With the kind permission of Chen Mu, the White Horse Tribe was the first among all the aborigines to own a fleet, communicate with the Chilean saltpeter route, transfer Jincheng wooden square iron, hemp Aboriginal tribes home to harbor furs and canned meat.

Impressed by his ears and eyes, it seemed that the white tiger whose muscles had grown into his brain also had this talent. He turned his head to look at Wang Quan, and said, "The boat will carry weapons."

"Hey, peace is the most important thing. Although the natives are a little strange, we don't understand what they mean, but we don't necessarily have to fight, let alone we are not an army."

Zhang Si didn't want to fight, Zhang Shou persuaded Wang Quan, and said to the white tiger: "Tiger, you are right, let's build a building with civil engineering at the mouth of the river, and then open some land to plant potatoes, and then not only can we sell it to the exchange Merchants, you can still sell it to the local natives, so the natives of every tribe are not so fierce, right?"

"Correct!"

Zhang Si reminded Wang Quan that the one-armed veteran agreed with this very much, and repeated: "Not every tribe wants to fight with us. Tomorrow, I will take people to take cotton cloth and go to the surrounding villages. Tiger you people follow me, we can buy from them... what is that?"

On the far bank of the river, a cavalry unit familiar to the crew came out of the forest. Dozens of cavalrymen on tall horses were in front, and behind them were countless soldiers pushing simple carts full of spoils and holding ropes. The captive with tied hands stood far away, looking like he had just experienced a battle.

It seemed that the cavalry had spotted them a long time ago, and the young man with the appearance of an officer led a few cavalry and rode straight towards them from a distance.

The young officer headed by him was Yingming, the Chief Banner Officer. After several easy battles in the past ten months, he defeated six small local lords who did not want to stand with King Alan. Zhu Xiaoen made his official position rise rapidly.

At this time, his apparent official position was still the Chief Banner Officer of the Eastern Military Mansion, but in the Kingdom of Alan, he was the Deputy Thousand Households of the Qianhu Department of Tailong Youwei Hekou.

"Where are you merchants from, Beiya?" Ying Ming looked at the group of Ming merchants who were as confused as the lucky boat that was stranded at the mouth of the river. He raised his hand and said, "Your luck has come, I will send you off." A fortune, but I have to get some food for my soldiers first, they are all exhausted."
