Chapter 413: A Feeling of Freedom
After a difficult choice, the prudent envoy could only reluctantly accept Yang Hao's request to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Yang Hao saw that the envoy of Su Shen agreed, and immediately asked people to bring pen and ink, and immediately wrote down the Qisu Treaty, and wrote the terms of the previous words clearly on the paper.
After both sides pressed their fingerprints, the treaty officially entered into force.
It is not clear how much of a treaty can be binding on both sides.
At least in Yang Hao's view, this kind of treaty can only give more content to the history books of later generations.
Anyway, regardless of whether the treaty exists or not, after the national strength of the Qi State is raised to a certain level, what treaty is not as good as wiping the ass.
The truth is within the range of the cannon, and this sentence is indeed an eternal truth for the country.
A few days later, the envoy of Su Shen left the prosperous Chang'an City with a feeling of helplessness.
It's just that when he left, he didn't forget to bring back some souvenirs from Chang'an.
In particular, the exquisite cloth of Qi people is loaded with two large cars.
As for the carriage that pulled the goods, the male Yang Hao was generous once and gave it to Su Shen for free.
After all, in the future, for a certain period of time, Su Shen may be able to bring a lot of surprises to himself.
The Northeast region is not able to develop itself for the time being, but it is a good choice to buy back the things there at an extremely low price through the hands of these people.
And in this way, being able to circulate Qi money to those wild areas, no matter what kind of fight between the poor and the cautious sides, he will make a lot of money, and being that yellow finch is indeed a good choice that Yang Hao thinks Qi is currently making.
After all, the cost of personally participating in the war is too high, and the death of a soldier requires a lot of pensions from the imperial court.
To a certain extent, the lives of Qi people are indeed much more valuable than those barbarians.
As for the weapons and equipment that the Qi court promised to trade, it was definitely not the sophisticated equipment of the regular army of Great Qi, and those arrows and spears that were in tatters and waiting to be rebuilt would be sold to the Su Shen people at a high price.
Although these things are not looked down upon by Qi people, but Su Shen, a savage who is still in the Stone Age, with these equipment, his combat effectiveness will at least be improved by one level.
It's just that Yang Hao, in order to prevent Su Shen from becoming bigger uncontrollably, sent people to the border town of Youzhou soon after the Su Shen envoy left, and ordered the officials there to closely monitor the situation outside the Guan, and if there was an obvious disadvantage on either side, it must be reported to the court in time.
Pulling one faction and fighting another faction is Yang Hao's main strategy to deal with the barbarians outside the Guanwai.
As long as the outside of the customs is not peaceful for a day, the border of Qi will be peaceful for a day.
While Yang Hao was proud of his ability to play between the two forces and applause, the Qi expedition finally arrived in the south of Sakhalin in mid-August.
After nearly two months of sailing, the crew was already exhausted.
The food on the ship had already been eaten and was about to vomit.
But fortunately, they can also catch some sea fish to regulate their palate.
Canned fruit is an invaluable commodity, and although it is sweet and delicious, all sailors know it is the key to surviving on a long voyage after a year of training.
Therefore, compared with other materials, canned fruit is extremely strictly controlled in the fleet, and a person can only eat a small piece in three days.
But they didn't know that the small piece they ate was so expensive that it had long been beyond their imagination.
Even Yang Hao, who is rich in the world, will hesitate again and again if he wants to eat a bite of canned fruit.
Stony Brook led the fleet in choosing the best place to stop.
After the big ship was lowered and riveted, the sailors who were about to land on the island set out for the island in small boats.
Sakhalin Island in August is a picturesque place, with large pine forests decorating the shore.
From a distance, brown bears can occasionally be seen in the woods.
Although this kind of bear looks much bigger than the bears in Qi country, the sailors feel fear, but extremely excited.
Such a big bear, if it is caught, stripped of its finest fur, and when it returns to Qi State, it will be enough for a person to eat and drink for half a year.
Such a rich island made the sailors paddle a lot faster.
The boat docked, and Stony Brook immediately put a team on guard.
He didn't worry about the beasts, what worried him the most was the possible presence of natives on this island.
After all, they are outsiders, and even if they are well-equipped, if they are careless, they may capsize in the gutter.
After carefully searching the landing site, there was no trace of human activity, and Stony Creek felt a little relieved.
Order the flag-bearers to raise the flag and tell the fleet that everything is okay on the island and that supplies can be transported ashore.
According to the plan, the fleet will leave 200 men here to set up a supply depot, and the brigade headquarters will not stay here for too long, and after replenishing fresh water, it will continue to advance north.
At night, Stony Creek used the light of the fire to write the logbook of the past few days.
"In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the thirteenth day of August, it was sunny, and the voyage was forty-three days.
Today the fleet arrived at the first supply island, the scenery here is very charming, the crew saw the brown bears, there is a lot of food here, I think the crew who stayed here can do what is required during the training, it should be much easier than us on a long voyage.
Over the next seven days, we will build an improvised defense along this coast, find a river to replenish fresh water, and the fleet will continue sailing.
After leaving here, we may not be able to get supplies for a long time to come, and I hope the gods can bless us.
Maybe there is really a salmon in the northern peninsula that the king said, if there is, you must get some to taste there, God bless!
”
I blew the ink, closed the very casually written log, lay on the soft sand, felt the cool sea breeze, looked at the Milky Way across the night sky, and a helpless and self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.
Sometimes he can't understand why he appears on the vast sea, in Daqi native, he has a good status, even if he doesn't work hard, he will live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and enjoy the life that ordinary people envy.
On this tranquil beach, he felt freedom, a freedom that he felt when he thought back to the nearly two-month voyage he had seen with his own eyes that countless people had never seen.
He figured out why he wanted to put down his family, put down his good status, and risk his life to go to the continent thousands of miles away.
That's freedom, that's the life you want.
Fame and fortune are just passing glances, and what is happier in this life than doing what you like.
Stony Brook thought.
