506 [Lin Shiyi and Wei One-eyed]
Hokji, Japan.
Hundreds of years later, the fishing port called "Omamachi" is still a small fishing village. It doesn't even have a name, Da Ming Detective Haibo Zhuhai, two years ago named it "Ping'an Harbor".
This was the last Asian port that the Ming fleet passed through on its way to the Americas, leaving here and entering the vast ocean.
When China goes to sea, there is not enough food and water. When I came to Japan's "Heian Port", I was able to fill up the fresh water, buy a lot of salted fish on the spot, and even buy a lot of fresh wild fruits.
Lin Shiyi led his subordinates and escorted the immigrants off the boat to breathe.
This year's batch of immigrants are all Shandong thieves, and they are old thieves, all of them are very fierce, and their hands are covered with blood. It stands to reason that they should all be killed, but Wang Shangshu was merciful and asked Tan Haibo to take them to Fushan (San Francisco).
Lin Shiyi kicked over the person in front of him, and scolded: "What are you staring at? If you don't get off the boat honestly, go back to the cabin and sleep! ”
Wei Duyan is the fourth person of the Shandong thieves, born in the army, and can fight well. He also has a nickname called "Xiao Xiahou", last year was shot in the eye by an arrow by the official army, he learned from Xiahou to pull out the arrow to eat his own eyes, the thieves suddenly boosted their morale, and the officers and soldiers who killed the bandits fled in embarrassment.
This group of thieves, the second and third have been killed in battle, Xiucai military division committed suicide, and the first thief was sent to the capital to be chopped alive. Wei Duyan, as the fourth in command, thought that it would be impossible to escape death, but who knew that he was actually escorted to Fushan of Laoshizi.
Wei Duyan wore shackles and leg shackles, got up from the deck in embarrassment, and glared at Lin Shiyi without showing weakness: "In other words, half a year ago, Lao Tzu could pinch you to death with one finger!" ”
Lin Shiyi said with a smile: "Ten years ago, Lao Tzu's sneezing scared you to death!" ”
Lin Shiyi didn't lie, he was Ling Shiyi, the number one general under King Ning. When King Ning was defeated, he fled in embarrassment with two boats, first went to Taihu Lake to be a water bandit, and then encountered the officers and soldiers to clean up, so he took his men to Nanyang to make a living, and two years ago they collectively took refuge under the command of Tanhai Bo.
Wei Duyan obviously didn't believe Lin Shiyi's nonsense, and he was pushed to the fishing port, lined up with the other immigrants, and then sat on the ground to breathe in the fresh air.
Lin Shiyi took out an apple from his arms, wiped it on his sleeve, and took a big bite.
Apples were introduced to the Central Plains in the Yuan Dynasty, and were originally transliterated as "apples and grains", and were renamed "apples and fruits" after being used to it, and finally simply referred to as "apples". Because apples are mostly grafted on sand fruit trees, sand fruits are also called "Ringo", so apples are also called "Ringo" in the Ming Dynasty.
Japanese fishermen are carrying fresh water, this kind of worthless thing, the Ming people actually use money to buy, the Ming is really rich to the heavenly kingdom of oil.
A few Japanese samurai guarded the harbor. When the Ming fleet paid the supply to the fishermen, the samurai immediately rushed over to collect taxes and steal most of the fishermen's income.
At first, where the bird didn't, there was no shadow of a samurai at all. With several supply transactions, it soon attracted the attention of the lord Nanbu clan, and Nanbu Anshin immediately sent samurai to act as tax collectors.
In fact, the Southern Anxin wanted to control the supply trade, but the Ming fleet only traded with local fishermen. As for whether the money was snatched away by the samurai, the Daming fleet didn't bother to care.
It doesn't seem to make much difference, but the nature is completely different.
The Ming fleet traded directly with the lords, and the fishermen felt that they were being oppressed by both sides. And if the Ming fleet gives the money to the fishermen, and the samurai snatch the money away, the fishermen will only resent the lords and samurai.
After the samurai finished grabbing the money, they rushed over like pugs, trying to buy their favorite goods at a low price.
The fleet buyer smiled and asked the cotton cloth to be taken out of the cabin, and the supplies that had just been spent were earned back as they were.
At the same time, more than 1,000 immigrants were exiled to North America, each receiving not very fresh fruit.
Lin Shiyi said to the immigrants: "Don't hide the fruits, eat them now, these are all loaded in Shandong, and they will be fucking rotten if they are left for two days." Uncle (Zhu Hai) is kind-hearted, and he will give you fruits to eat, and replace them with those black-hearted maritime merchants, and you will wait to nibble on bacon and pickles every day! The far sea is more dangerous than the near sea, and fruits are life-saving things, and if you don't eat fruits and vegetables, you will get scurvy. ”
Under the supervision of armed crews, the migrants honestly ate the fruit that was about to rot.
Lin Shiyi turned his head to look and saw that a fisherman was staring at him. The fisherman was less than one meter three tall, and he was not as dressed as a Ming beggar, lying there like a dog.
"What are you doing looking at Lao Tzu?" Lin Shiyi asked.
The fisherman cowed in fright and stared at the apple core on the ground.
Lin Shiyi kicked the apple core over and said with a smile: "Take it and plant it in the soil, maybe I can find you to buy Lin Yi (apples) in the future." ”
The fisherman picked up the sand-stained apple core, and instead of taking it back to make seeds, he picked it up and nibbled on the remnants of the fruit. Although there are wild fruits in the area, the fishermen have never seen apples, and they regard them as a good thing that the samurai cannot afford to eat.
In fact, apples are also expensive in Daming and are only grown in a few northern provinces. This apple was bought by Lin Shiyi himself, and the fleet would not purchase it for the crew, and those immigrants would not be able to eat the apple.
The fisherman gnawed the apple core to the core, and Lin Shiyi smiled when he saw this: "Something like a dog." ”
Wei Duyan stared at Lin Shiyi while gnawing on the fruit, and muttered, "Something like a dog!" ”
The two actually didn't have any big enmity, but when they boarded the ship in Shandong, Lin Shiyi whipped Wei One-eyed and two whips.
……
Three and a half months later, the flotilla reached Fukuyama Bay (San Francisco Bay).
On the way, more than 30 crew members and immigrants died of illness, and many more were left to fate.
The flotilla first drove south along the coast and docked, fired a shot at the sea, and then had the crew use small boats to carry supplies to the shore.
Not long after, the first batch of immigrants from Mazu Lake spontaneously came to help transport supplies to the Mazu Lake colony when they heard the sound of cannons. At the same time, the sick people on the ship were also brought to recuperate, and the small boats returned with some fresh water and vegetables.
The crew and immigrants, Mei Zizi drank clean water and ate fresh vegetables, and rested on the ship that night.
On the second day, we crossed the Fukuyama Strait and headed to Oakwood Bay on the opposite side.
It was the site of the second group of immigrants, densely covered with oak trees. In a few more years, a group of shipbuilders will be brought in, and a shipyard can be opened here, and the inexhaustible supply of oak trees is the fine timber for the construction of sea ships.
After unloading supplies at Oakwood Bay, the fleet turned around and headed northeast.
After passing through a canyon, you will come to the confluence of two rivers.
The leader of the fleet went to communicate with the natives of the river, and the shackles of the immigrants were opened.
Lin Shiyi led them out of the boat, formed a team by the river, and said with a smile: "You are all old thieves, you don't need me to teach you to fight or anything." Now that you have reached the far east, you should not think of going back, and you will live here in the future. ”
Wei Duyan said angrily: "We are all gentlemen, how can we live without a mother-in-law?" I see that there are women on the other side of Oak Bay, why don't we have any women here? ”
"Hey, damn it," Lin Shiyi laughed angrily, "You guys who have been wreaking havoc in Shandong for several years, and you should all be executed." The court is already very kind to you for your life, and you still want to travel thousands of miles to transport your mother-in-law? If you want a mother-in-law, you can do it, there are many upstream, take a knife and grab it yourself! ”
One by one, the wooden boxes were carried off the ship, and when they were opened, they were full of military equipment.
Wei Duyan was given a pair of bamboo armor, a waist knife, a spear, and the armor on his body, he was a little overwhelmed, and subconsciously asked: "Burn, kill, and loot, whatever you want?" ”
Lin Shiyi said: "First, it is not allowed to kill Han people; Second, it is forbidden to kill the two indigenous tribes in the vicinity. To tell you the truth, there are big tribes upstream, and the natives there are unreasonable. The gold in the lower reaches has been almost mined, and this trip is to let you attack the upstream tribes. Kill all the old natives, men can be slaves for you, and women can be robbed to be mothers-in-law. Children can be killed by you, they can be raised, and they can even be collected as sons to pass on incense! ”
These old thieves, all of whom kill people without blinking, not only have no moral burden when they hear this, but they are eager to try it one by one.
Three days later, the armed colonists set out, and thirty musketeers pressed them down.
The indigenous tribe was very large, divided into three settlements that were very close to each other, and together there were several thousand. They have become mainly agricultural, fishing, hunting, and gathering are only side jobs, and even have extremely rudimentary wooden walls.
As soon as the foreign enemy came, the natives quickly assembled.
The armed colonies are not in a hurry, they wait there slowly, and the enemy will gather to serve it.
Wei Duyan was amused, the enemy troops in front of him were all stone axes, stone knives, stone hairs, flying ropes, blow arrows and other weapons, and the formation was even more chaotic and unorganized.
Thirty musketeers, after a volley, the native army all fled.
Lin Shiyi shouted: "Still stunned, hurry up and chase and kill!" ”
"Is this a war?" Wei Duyan muttered, pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Sons, follow me after the enemy!" Don't kill women, don't burn houses, don't step on crops, those things are ours! ”
Lin Shiyi pursed his lips and stood in place to watch the play.
The main role of transporting more than 1,000 old thieves is to capture prisoners and completely control this section of the river. If it was just killing, they would have done it a long time ago, so why would they wait until now?
The Spanish colonizers were not able to do so, because there were too few people who came to the Americas, so they could only establish colonial strongholds, and then drive out, kill, and rob the natives, and they could not effectively control an area at all. At least at this stage, Spain has not yet completed its primitive accumulation and is not in a position to organize mass migration, and spontaneous immigrants have not yet appeared.
took out a pipe, put in the tobacco, and Lin Shiyi took a leisurely puff.
As a water bandit who has been accumulating years and rebelled with King Ning, and is still the number one general of the rebel army, he really never thought that he would go to sea one day.
Although this business is a little hard, it is novel and exciting, and he makes a lot of money, and he is not afraid of the officers and soldiers to clean up, because he himself is the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Weihai. He has already purchased hundreds of acres of land in Nanyang, accepted a few concubines, and the eldest son can already call his father.
