Beiyang new warlord

The New World is indeed not friendly enough to the Eastern Empire.

Next to the Atlantic Ocean of the European continent, not only is the sea closer, but there is only one relatively small Appalachian Mountains in the mountains, next to the famous Central Plains, south of the Appalachian Mountains , is also a fertile coastal lowland plain, which is especially suitable for agricultural operations. Most of the thirteen colonies that were born in the United States are located in these areas, so it can be said that you can live here.

On the other hand, close to the west coast of Asia, the entire Cordillera Mountains occupy more than one-third of the mainland. Like the Nevada Desert, the Grand Canyon of Colorado is all here. The scenery is gorgeous enough for large-scale immigration to cultivate. The deserted land is very little.

But fortunately, God has closed the door for you, and will definitely leave a window for you!The oriental proverb is also true, there is no unparalleled road!

The fast horse gallops south along Lake Alexandria, and the eyes are full of steep and straight coastal mountains filled with ice and snow, densely packed with yellow firs, hemlocks, spruces, and fir trees, rustling in the northwest wind. It is indeed an undeveloped virgin land. In the mountains and forests, there are groups of wild deer and muntjacs happily gnawing on the bit of dry grass exposed in the ice and snow. When they hear the horseshoes in the distance, these guys will not be in the first place. After running away, they looked around curiously for a while, until they saw a "big monkey" with various furs on horseback showing a greedy smile, these guys just woke up like a group of big show jumpers Bounced like that and fled into the forest.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Amidst the ping-pong-pong gunshots, several beautiful stags fell into a pool of blood.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, next to the stream formed by the melting water from the snow-capped mountains, the prey is disembowelled on the spot, the deerskin is extravagant, and the intestines are thrown aside, only the delicious deer heart is kept Dried deer, washed in stream water, fresh and tender red meat smeared with coarse sea salt, and thrown directly on the hot shale for roasting, the tangy aroma immediately hooked the mouth water.

Especially for the sailors whose eyes turned green after eating canned food and sea fish for four months.

Women are always different from men. When Song Yongzhong and the sailor leader Dongfang Meng and other iron-blooded men were busy hunting, Han Xiaomo unexpectedly brought back a small handful of wild vegetables. Cut some of the deer heart, liver and lung, and threw them together with the wild vegetables into the small earthen jar that I brought.

I really don't know how much the woman holds grudges. She holds a wooden stick in her left hand as a spoon to stir the crock pot, and she holds a writing brush in her right hand, viciously writing those front-line reports that may never be published.

"On November [-]th of the third year of Haiguo Kaihong, the sky was fine, and a group of dead profiteers raised the price of rice tenfold, making this reporter unable to eat delicious rice, and cursed them for having a son without chrysanthemums! Bara Barbara~”

Hearing this girl's muttering, the prince could hardly maintain his aloof personality. With a face of ice cubes, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time. He quickly turned his head away, looking serious into the distance. looking out.

Among the majestic mountains in the east, a steaming cloud attracted his attention.

Mao Jue started. The series of volcanoes on the border of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have made the greatest contribution. The Roman cement made of natural volcanic ash was used to build a solid city. The effect can be said to be the greatest contribution. Even though Mao Xingjian was very disgusted with many of his father's policies, he still knew the auspicious volcano of the Mao family clearly.

Similar to Xinghaizi Port, there are also volcanoes nearby!Still an active volcano!

Where there is a volcano, there is volcanic ash!There is sulfur!With volcanic ash, he could make cement, build houses, build cities, and build roads, and with sulfur, he could develop gunpowder and rest the terrain. This discovery made him quite happy.

To say that extreme joy begets sorrow, when a group of people looked at the mountains, watched the mountains, barbecued barbecues, wrote reports and wrote reports, and were enjoying themselves, Han Xiaomo suddenly heard a sharp panting sound, and turned his head in amazement, but was frightened. Her soul almost flew out, and she couldn't help screaming.

"Oh my god! Blind bear!!!"

Song Yongzhong, who was gnawing on a deer leg with his mouth full of oil, jumped up cleverly when he heard the shout, and at some point in the snow beside the creek, such a big man appeared unexpectedly, with his tongue clattering like a long man, He looked greedily at the group of people.

Seeing the dark color, Song Yongzhong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still as if he was facing a big enemy, not daring to relax at all. Under the nervous gaze of more than [-] people, he picked up the deer thrown at his feet He got into the water and threw it out viciously, at the same time he yelled like a gorilla.

Following him, those cavalrymen of the New World Expedition Team also yelled at Oou. Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, and the deer intestines and kidneys thrown nearby, this black and strong thing finally gave up and picked it up. He jumped into the water, turned around and fled into the woods.

"Why didn't you hunt it?"

Seeing this thing run away, Mao Xingjian was rather dissatisfied, and questioned angrily. Seeing the aggressive appearance of the crown prince Xingshi asking the teacher, Song Yongzhong couldn't help but rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Prince, one pig, two bears and three tigers, don't look at this thing is bulky, but it runs much faster than us, and it has rough skin and thick flesh, and it can't be shot down one by one, especially now when these guys are hibernating. Yes, they all woke up from hunger, and they are very fierce! The distance just now is enough to rush over and shoot two or three of us to death.

"It's also fortunate that it's a black blind man, not a brown blind man, and it's not wild enough, otherwise it would have been dangerous just now!"

I didn't know about the common-sense questions, but after listening to Song Yongzhong's explanation, I was persuaded in my heart, but in face, Mao Xingjian still looked arrogant and snorted disdainfully.

"No courage!"

I was too lazy to be serious with him, seeing the master raised his head to look at his mountain again, Song Yongzhong didn't say much, picked up the half-gnawed deer leg, blew the dirt on it, and gnawed it again Mouth dripping with oil.

Han Xiaomo's heart, lung and wild vegetable soup became the finishing touch of this picnic. It was greasy to eat, but the refreshing vegetable soup became the best dessert after a meal. Each person poured a bowl with the big shells picked up by the sea, and the sailors and cavalry who drank it were endless. If it wasn't Naoki's thumb, even Mao Xingjian, who was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, couldn't help but secretly nodded.

But the episode just now was also a vaccination for Song Yongzhong. The New World is not as safe as Daming. After eating, the command staff roasted the venison into jerky. Immediately afterwards, he walked to Mao Xing's fitness side, hugging him heavily. She clasped her fists: "Prince, it's getting late today, let's go back!"

"go back?"

Who knew that these words made Mao Xingjian hear some kind of Arabian Nights, a pair of handsome eyes of a scholar stared round, and then he shook his head heavily with his pretense fan.

"Gu's goal is outpost 22! Gu won't go back until he gets there!"

One sentence almost choked Song Yongzhong to death, full of astonishment, he yelled extremely sadly: "Prince, you can say that you are a field hunter!"

"Of course it's field hunting! But Gu didn't say a few days! Like my father, Mulan Qiudi, he hunted for half a month. How many days does Gu have?"

Really helpless, Song Yongzhong bowed again, wanting to cry without tears: "Prince, Your Majesty's autumn hunting is protected by an army. You saw that bear just now. If you spend the night in the wild, you might meet a few more! If you If you insist on going your own way, forgive me for being humble and on official business, so I can't have fun with you!"

However, even Mao Jue dared to contradict Mao Xingjian. Mao Xingjian was not frightened. Song Yongzhong threatened to leave, but he looked indifferent, nodded and hummed indifferently.

"Since Mr. Song is busy with military affairs, please go back! I will take a few of my subordinates for a stroll, and don't go far!"

After finishing speaking, he really got on his horse, yelled, and led his subordinates to stroll southwards.

"Master Lieutenant, what shall we do?"

There were still a few pieces of roasted dried venison hanging on his waist. Song Yongzhong's subordinate Chen Datou looked at the backs of these Royal Navy sailors with some disdain, and turned his head to ask.

Just because he was in a bad mood, Song Yongzhong slapped him on the forehead angrily, and yelled angrily.

"What else can I do, follow up!!!"

No move!Everyone knows that the crown prince came out with him!He patted his buttocks and went back. The crown prince had a problem. He, the captain of the whole team, couldn’t cut off three heads. He was on a pirate ship. Packed up, and the cavalry of the expedition team were also pumping their horse’s buttocks and trotting come up.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes behind him, Mao Xingjian couldn't help showing a look of complacency on his face, the lonely two hundred shi of rice is so easy to get?

However, this complacency was also fleeting, and was soon replaced by the aloofness and arrogance set by others.

Under the coercion of Mao Xingjian, a cavalry team of more than 20 people stepped on the snow and rode the cold wind, and rushed all the way south without counting the time. On the contrary, the sound of rushing water soaring into the sky roared endlessly in my ears.

On the last platform of the coastal mountains, an extremely swift waterfall is dragged by a silver curtain, rushing down with indomitable momentum, and countless silver flowers are floating in the water below, and the elves are having fun in the ice and snow. The majestic Columbia River suddenly cut a bloody path among the mountains, split the originally towering mountains in two, and then rushed into the Pacific Ocean.

Here is the window that God did not close, the road that never ends in the sky, led the horse, climbed up from the nearby hillside, looked forward towards the river, and a fairly flat canyon scouring the small plain came into view Under the ice and snow, the soil is fertile, and even at this time, there is still a trace of greenery. The treasure box on the west coast has opened a gap slightly to Mao Xingjian here.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, the crown prince who had climbed up the river valley and plain got on his horse again, and lashed his whip heavily. Looking at his joyful back, Song Yongzhong couldn't help howling.

"Stay away!!!"

Chapter 768. The prince's awkward search

Mao Xingjian and his party traveled upstream along the ever-flowing Columbia River through the dense virgin forest for more than two days.

Standing on the misty nameless mountain and looking down, holding the wet binoculars, finally at that moment, Mao Xingjian was so moved that he wanted to cry.

At this time, the rushing Columbia River has gone, replaced by a meandering and slender river. On both sides of the river, the fertile plains stretch as far as the eye can see. When they came out, there were even large herds of bison walking on the great plain, gnawing on the exposed grass with their heads down.

The Snake River Plain, where Outpost 22 is located, has arrived!

Although compared to the Central Plains after crossing the Rocky Mountains, this place is really a bit insignificant, but in terms of area, it has reached the level comparable to several large basins and plains in Shanxi, and in terms of fertility, I am afraid that here It must be above Shanxi. After all, it has been cultivated for 2000 years since the Jin and Zhao countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and here, the original humus soil everywhere is no joke.

Even Idaho, the later generation of the United States, is also a large agricultural production area, rich in potatoes and peas, and famous all over the world.

What made the crown prince Mao Xingjian drool even more was the herd of cattle grazing on the Snake River Plain with their heads bowed. The big cattle can be used for labor and meat. A godsend gift for him, a farming party.

It's just that Mao Xingjian didn't notice that standing behind him on the three-meter-high outpost No. 22 made of cement and stones, Song Yongzhong, who was also looking down with a telescope, couldn't help showing a twinkle in his eyes. With a dignified look, his eyes also fell on the herd of bison grazing leisurely.
