Chongzhen Undergraduates

"The villain met the adults when he got on the boat." Huang Wu didn't hide anything, let alone look up.He did indeed see Li Yan boarding the boat secretly through the gaps in the wooden planks of the cabin, and he also met Li Yan once in Nanjing.

"So, you already know the destination of our trip?" Li Yan asked Huang Wu with a dark face.

"The villain didn't know at first, but the villain guessed that it should be Xiangdong, about..." Huang Wu's forehead was sweating. He took the risk to exploit Li Yan's relationship, but he didn't dare to guarantee that Li Yan would not Will kill him for secrecy.

"Why, you still want to steal and play tricks, are you qualified? Tell me the truth!" A guard in the room drew out his knife with a groan, and put the knife on Huang Wu's shoulder unceremoniously.

"My lord, please forgive me. The villain knows about America." Huang Wu pissed in fright. How could his little tricks fool the eyes of the dignified chief minister? Even Li Yan's little follower couldn't beat him.

"Oh! What do you know?" Li Yan asked, staring into Huang Wu's eyes.

"The villain knows Cherokee, Iroquois, Lakota, Dakota..." Huang Wu regained his energy and tried his best to show off the little thing in his stomach.

The so-called Indians are not what they call them. It is what the Europeans thought they saw as Indians. In fact, the North American aborigines have their own tribes. For example, what Huang Wu mentioned now is the name of the Indian tribe.Especially the northernmost Eskimos, who are now the Inuit, are authentic yellow races and share the same ancestor as the Tungus.

Chapter 699: Survival is not easy

No one, including Huang Wu, would have thought that the land they landed on was called San Francisco in a certain time and space.His real name was San Francisco, formerly known as Java Buena.This is the first landing point in North America that has been decided long ago, and the Chinese name of this place has also been verified by Zhu You, and the name of San Francisco is still used.

Regarding the issue of place names in the New World, Zhu Youjian certainly will not use the names of the Europeans, but he will not use the names of the indigenous people either, neither of which is suitable for the usage habits of big celebrities.Therefore, except for this most representative Chinese translation place, Zhu Youjian will not be serious about naming rights.

There are aborigines in California, such as the Anasazi, Mogollon, and Hohoka tribes. However, if you want to compare the east coast, the original civilization of the west coast of America is more primitive and still in the process of collecting And the era of fishing and hunting, occasionally a bit of agriculture, and it is also the most primitive agriculture.

Huang Wu led Hattori Zhengchen away, but Li Yan didn't know where he went.After they left, the entire fleet began landing operations.A large number of Japanese laborers were driven off the ship, and then on a slightly gentle high ground, they began to arrange the foundation, cut down trees, and build the castle.Of course, this is a long-term project, and it cannot be completed quickly with the modern machinery of later generations like the first landing in Lingao.

Any home is built slowly, and the scene of tens of thousands of people working together is spectacular and efficient.In less than ten days, several rows of simple wooden houses were built.There are two main scenes of labor in front of me, one is the camp, it can already be seen that this is a huge castle; A large group of Japanese people are taking turns with sledgehammers to smash wooden piles to the bottom of the water.

This is a highland along the coast. The entire camp is centered on wooden houses, surrounded by large tents. Standing in the camp and looking west, not far away is the San Francisco Bay, which is full of ships of all kinds.The beautiful scenery is unobstructed, and Li Yan is looking at the strait in the distance, not knowing what he is thinking.

"Sir, more than a dozen Japanese laborers ran away last night." Deng Wenchang came to Li Yan's side and looked at the documents in his hand with some concern.Since the labor force on the ship was transferred to the wooden house a few days ago, Japanese escaped every night, from one or two people at the beginning to more than a dozen people every night now.The strange thing is that every time Li Yan heard the news, he didn't take any action to strengthen the supervision, as if the chief minister didn't care at all.

"How much food is left?" Li Yan ignored Deng Wenchang's report and turned to the question of food.

"Barely lasted for two months." Deng Wenchang flipped through his notebook again and replied.

"Haven't the two whaling ships come back yet?" Li Yan asked again.

"Sir, have you forgotten? It takes at least ten days and half a month for the whale ship to go to sea once." Deng Wenchang thought that Li Yan had forgotten this matter, and reminded.

"Why don't I know, it's just that food is a big problem right now. I wish they could come back once a day." Li Yan sighed deeply.

This is a story of fish and bear's paw.If only an expedition team of a hundred or ten people landed here, they could bring more food for supplies, or they could support themselves just by fishing.This is also the reason why Tian Chuan's group was able to successfully complete the mission.But now, there are more than 3 people gathering here, and more than half of them are still under construction. Food is the biggest problem.It is a good thing for each person to share one more fish per day.

"Didn't we send an expedition team of 20 people before? They might find food." Deng Wenchang said, he really thought that group of people were just looking for food.This is also the thinking of many officials here. In their view, this land is just a little bit more desolate, and maybe it is the same as the northwest of Daming. You can find villages and food if you go farther.

"Hehe, I guess they are already on their way back." Li Yan smiled slightly and said with Deng Wenchang's incomprehensible expression.

At the same time that Li Yan and Deng Wenchang were talking, Huang Wu and Hattori Zhengchen were searching for a Mogron camp a hundred kilometers away.Like the camp in San Francisco, this place is more like an abandoned village.A thatched shed built from a few branches, plus a natural cave.If there is anything of value, it is that the clay pots scattered over the several fires are a product of civilization.

"Have you found any food?" Huang Wu looked at this disappointedly. There was a dead body wearing a grass skirt lying at his feet. It could be seen that it was a young man.

"Except for these, there is nothing." Huang An gathered a pile of wild fruits on the ground, and replied with a little disgust.

"xx, the last village still has half a fan, why is this village so poor." Huang Wu pouted.

Hattori Zhengchen picked up a clay pot and was about to see what was boiled in it. At this time, an indigenous woman grabbed Hattori's thigh and kept muttering.Hattori kicked the opponent away impatiently, but the opponent not only did not hide, but also rushed towards him together with the two children.

"噗!" With a click, Hattori drew out the Japanese sword, making a gesture to chop.However, his action didn't work, and the opponent didn't let go at all.

"What are you talking about with a broken jar? It's the only valuable thing in their house." Huang Wu laughed.

After these few days of killing, this group of people knew what the natives cared about most. In the eyes of these people, clay pots on the ground were worth more than gold nuggets around their necks.After that, Hattori let go of the clay pot in his hand, which made the woman catch it and hold it tightly in her arms, for fear of breaking it.

From the moment he left the custody of the Ming army, Hattori let himself go.He felt a freedom he had never had before, even freer than in Kyoto.I am afraid that there is no piece of land in the world where he can do whatever he wants like now.Here he kills as much as he wants, and does whatever he wants.No one will be held accountable!

It turns out that being a robber is the coolest thing.

After packing up the loot, Huang An asked Huang Wu: "Brother, shall we continue to go east, or go back?"

After hearing this, Huang Wu glanced at Hattori and said, "Didn't you see that we have encountered more and more villages in the past few days? Further east, there are probably large tribes."

This sentence was obviously meant for Hattori, and it meant to tell him that we can still attack small tribes, and if we encounter a large tribe, just this few people are not enough for others to swallow.What to eat is a real problem. Don't think that the indigenous people are used to what they can eat.In order to solve the problem of food, they lived by robbing the indigenous people along the way. As for the bag of fruits that Huang An took, it was basically for people to see.If you think that the wild fruits collected in the deep mountains have a good taste, you are completely wrong. If there are no improved fruit trees, the wild fruits and bark will be a little stronger.

"Go back!" Huang Wu didn't expect Masato Hattori to answer so simply.

"We haven't found food, how can we go back?" Huang An didn't understand what his brother was thinking, and he still liked the present life.

"You don't know how to hunt prey? Yesterday we saw a large herd of cattle-like things." Huang Wu slapped Huang An on the head, cursing bitterly.

The cattle here are American yaks, which have not been domesticated, and there are groups of wild yaks.

Chapter 700: Primitive society is good

Don't underestimate a team of 20 people. After being equipped with weapons and equipment equivalent to the nineteenth century, in the primitive North American continent, it is like a god.With this paramilitary organization of 20 people, it can even attack primitive tribes with hundreds of people.This is the way Hattori Masato and the others survive.

Huang Wu's words are definitely not acceptable, and he said it just to find a reason to go back. With these 20 people hunting and a journey of more than 100 miles, how many prey can they bring back?Therefore, there is only one way to truly complete the task, and that is to capture prisoners.

Before Huang Wu could say it, Hattori Zhengchen understood Huang Wu's thoughts and said, "Huang Sang, I'll catch you if you want someone. But after you go back, you have to share more with me."

It turned out that the reason why Hattori Zhengchen agreed to go back was because he was worried about his subordinates.This person is quite loyal. In the final analysis, those Iga ninjas followed him to their current fate, and he really has the responsibility to take care of it to the end.

"I agree to this matter. The more meat we bring back, the more we will distribute to them." Huang Wu was full of joy.

Just when they were about to leave, suddenly a few black shadows rushed out from the grass not far away, and saw five or six ragged, dirty figures holding sticks and crazily attacking the two of Masato Hattori. attack by one of his men.

what's the situation?Everyone was taken aback, could it be that they were counterattacked by the natives?

"Baga!" Of course Hattori's subordinates were not easy to mess with, and after kicking over one by one, they pulled out Japanese swords without any hassle.

"!￥...9" There was a burst of chatter, and the group of beggars actually spoke Japanese.

Hattori Zhengchen's face turned black when he heard that, he ran over in two or three steps, aimed at those people and slapped them.Judging from the clothes, although the torn clothes of the few people in front of them are ugly, they are still cloth.Needless to say, they were definitely not aboriginals, and the aboriginals here hadn't invented cloth at all.

"Brother, the Japanese are rebelling?" Huang An was a little flustered. He felt that the Japanese had come here.

"Fart! Look at them, they obviously escaped." Huang Wu dismissed it. It would be strange if the dignified chief minister of the Ming Dynasty was rebelled by the Japanese.

As soon as the matter was asked, it became clear that these people were indeed Japanese who had escaped. Poorly they thought they could be free as long as they ran out.But I don't know what kind of environment this is. The few people who ran out alone, without a guy, either starved to death or were eaten by wild animals.Only those with enough salt and equipment like Huang Wu and the others can survive.

"Huang Sang, I have a request. Can we search around for a few days and find all the trash." Hattori Zhengchen felt helpless, and he asked Huang An to do something again.

"No problem. Since everyone came here together, we are all companions. We Ming people are very fond of nostalgia. When fellow villagers see fellow villagers, tears will flow from our eyes." Huang Wu was generous again.Talking about fellow countrymen on the mouth, I pissed off several times in my heart.If it weren't for tens of thousands of miles away, who would have a relationship with you as a fellow villager?Fellow countryman, a shot in the back.

The development of the matter has completely exceeded Huang Wu's expectations, but he is not worried, because all the situations are under his control, and the time is only delayed.

……

As time went by, food became less and less, and the situation became more and more serious.Even though Li Yan has the style of a general, he is a little anxious.
