1014 Base in North America

For this long voyage, Liu Pei prepared very well. From the detailed charts to the weather conditions and ocean currents over the years, as well as various scientific instruments are equipped very well.

Because Liu Pei took advantage of the accumulation of weather conditions in later generations, he specially selected the fleet to go out to sea with the least wind and waves. Moreover, they were very lucky, and there were only slight wind and waves before arriving in Hawaii.

So the fleet sailed along the ocean currents and found the Hawaiian Islands very smoothly! What is surprisingly similar to history is that because there is a lot of sandalwood, it still gets the name Honolulu!

The fleet was welcomed by the indigenous people in Honolulu. These indigenous people still maintained their living habits for thousands of years, working from slash and fire, resting from sunrise to sunset.

After the fleet replenished supplies there, a small team of volunteers left. This team of volunteers will take on the heavy responsibility of establishing a supply station in the Hawaiian Islands. At the same time, they are also responsible for imparting cultural knowledge to local natives and naturalizing them into the Chinese civilization circle.

The volunteer team had full confidence in this. Because through short observations, they found that the planting technology they mastered was far higher than that of these indigenous people. At the same time, the superficial medical skills they mastered were also higher than those of the tribal wizards here. So they swear that by the time the second fleet came back, this place would be the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

After leaving Hawaii, the Pacific Ocean finally showed its power! But the fleet was ready, so the losses were very minor. During the entire voyage, dehydrated vegetables, bean sprouts and freshwater collectors played an important role. There was never a lack of freshwater on the ship. The sailors did not suffer from septicemia.

After a long voyage, they finally saw the land and arrived at the target North America! The fleet headed north along the coast and finally found a suitable natural deep water bay, and it was also the outlet of a freshwater river as a base.

The sailors on the ship began to build fortresses outside the harbor, which would become the first base of the long-distance fleet.

The crew of the Far Cruise quickly built two bastions. Then, relying on the bastion, a wall was built. This base was completely

Settling down.

It was not until spring came that they began to explore around carefully. Since there were no horses, the exploration work was very difficult. Therefore, the sailors strongly demanded that the next voyage fleet bring horses to reproduce locally. Otherwise, walking alone would be meaningless to this vast land.

But they were very lucky. After about twenty days of traveling, they finally met several Indians when they were about to return! Fortunately, Ozil met this group of Indians very gentle!

Although they thought the sailors were dressed strangely, they still tried hard to communicate with them. Later, things became simple. Since both parties had the desire to communicate, things would be much easier.

After the two sides exchanged gifts, especially after the Indians got the sugar, the Indians regarded them as good friends. Later they learned that these Indians were warriors sent by a small tribe and were forwards who made way for the tribe. They were a small tribe, and they could probably have about two thousand people.

After the two sides met, the sailors found that the tribe was migrating and the food was not sufficient. So after the sailors helped them hunt a lot of prey with muskets, they were immediately welcomed by the tribe!

As time went by, both sides gradually understood each other's language and communication became smoother. The team members followed Liu Pei's instructions, pointing at their hair, skin and eyes, and advocating that both sides had common ancestors. This was accepted by the Indians half-believingly.

During the tribe's migration process, hunting became easier with the addition of sailors. Because the team members used the rifled rifled guns with Minnie bullets! They had extremely high lethality and accuracy at a distance of four or five hundred meters. Therefore, this tribe spent a happy migration process.

After both sides got to know each other, the team members tried their best to encourage the nomadic tribe to settle down. However, the stubborn tribe elders refused to obey their opinions. After all, they were just a group of strangers, and the elders were responsible for all those who fell, so it was appropriate to be more conservative.

So let it go

It is difficult for the sailors to convince the stubborn elders! In the end, the team members promised that as long as they settled here, they could provide the tribe with food for one year!

They really didn't brag! Because they had sea boats to fish in large quantities. After showing the elders of the tribe, the sailors made oaths according to the Indian tradition. Finally, the elders of the half-believing and half-doubted tribe came to a conclusion after a long period of discussion: the young and strong continued to migrate with the tribe to preserve the vitality of the tribe. However, some women and the elderly could be left behind to follow the sailors to reclaim the land in the local area to see if they could fulfill their promise to plant food that they could never finish eating!

However, the expedition members also had a way. They used the tribe's time to stay and made a large amount of fish from the sea for the tribe to eat. All the people who could work in the tribe were reclaiming land and building canals. Finally, they sowed the seeds of the first season at the end of spring!

After all this, most of the Indians went north, leaving behind a group of old and weak and women.

It has to be said that the land in North America is fertile! Because since the land appeared here, this land has not been cultivated. So even if the land is raw, the grain produced this season is enough! In addition, the fish caught by the team members and the prey they hunted were enough to safely survive the food-scared winter.

Sure enough, when autumn came, the tribe that went north came back again. Moreover, there were many strange women in the tribe and many women from the tribe. Because they met another tribe, they had intermarried each other.

When they returned and saw the old and weak and women all there, and when they saw the full warehouse of grain, prey and dried fish, the whole tribe was boiling! They kissed and hugged every sailor, and announced that they were their own brothers! At the same time, the elders of the tribe also decided to settle down here and learn how to plant from their relatives.
