For the other Tan family, this time to catch the sea is a full return, but for Hong Tao, killing more than 20 pilot whales, the blubber obtained is not as much as a minke whale, if it weren't for the fact that he was dealing with these fellow clans, he would have driven the boat back to Ximaozhou, and let this old man Rong go to talk to Chen Mingen about joining the gang. If there are a few more reliable Tan families on Ximaozhou, then the women of the Weng family, the Bu family, and the Ou family can be transferred out of some of them to open up the wasteland, and only Bo Fu and Bo Xiaoer father and son can be left on the island, and a few women who are skilled in boiling oil can be used as masters.

Old man Rong's sudden visit, Chen Mingen and Bo Fu are still very welcome, it seems that this territorial sea person has a good reputation, at least he is not hated. Also, a title that has no practical benefits and can only serve others is generally loved, such as Lei Feng. It's a pity that this title is going to turn bad when it comes to Hong Tao, he not only wants to turn this title into an actual position, but also intends to use this title to seek monstrous benefits for himself. Scourge! Wherever he goes, he will do evil!

"Can you tell him about the wasteland, you two can do it yourself, and I won't participate. The second batch of supplies and personnel was still waiting there, so I went to find someone to unload the ship, washed and loaded the ship, and then set off. Hong Tao believes in the wisdom of Bo Fu and Chen Mingen's life, and they can still weigh it clearly. Now that Old Man Rong can bring new personnel to supplement Hong Tao, he can't take care of it, and there are still a few lonely people thousands of miles away, and whether they can stand on their feet is the key.

Most of the people on the second batch were family members of the pioneer team, and they could not let their families live separately, which was not conducive to social stability. Moreover, the labor ability of the women of the Tan family is not weaker than that of men, and they are better at many things in production and life. In order to cope with the unexpected, Hong Tao took the Explorer with him, and Carl and Bojiao were finally able to fly solo, and the two of them will be the captains together, driving the Explorer to follow the Predator on a long voyage. Once the camp can't be held, one more boat can carry a few more people, and everyone will retreat together, and no one will be left behind.

The voyage did not go well, not so much because of the weather, but because of the formation of the ships. Hong Tao has no experience in this area, he used to sail alone in a sailboat, and he managed himself to complete the task. How two ships with different speeds and different performance can sail together day and night is very simple to think about, but it is very troublesome to do. The night before, as soon as there was a little mist on the sea, Hong Tao lost the explorer, and the light of the firefly-like ship lamp was not visible on the sea.

"I still believe in the abilities of the two of them, as long as you don't forget what I taught and can find the next meeting point, you can't lose it!" Hong Tao deliberately lowered the sail and waited for half an hour, but still found no trace of the explorer, so he could only continue to move forward.

In an era when there were no high-powered lights and no radios, it was a difficult thing to keep a complete fleet at sea. The lanterns hanging on the bow and stern of the ship alone do not help much, and they can be used when the sea conditions are better and the speed of the ship is very slow, but when the wind and waves are strong and the speed of the ship increases, it is possible to lose the ship in a short time, and it is difficult to find it. This problem cannot be solved by Hongtao, and if the lantern is hung on the top of the mast, it can alleviate the problem a little, but it still has little effect in bad weather.

Fortunately, Hong Tao had an extra eye in advance, he marked 3 confluence coordinates on the chart, and told Carl and Bo Jiao that no matter if they can keep up with the Predator, they don't need to panic, just walk and measure according to what they usually learn, and he will wait for them at these three coordinate points. This method was not invented by Hong Tao, the round the world regatta in later generations is played like this, the voyage is divided by a section, there are N meeting points along the way, if anyone gets lost or has a ship failure, don't find the right path, just go directly to the meeting point.

"Your Bo family has produced a real Jiao Shark!" When Hong Tao waited for two hours at the first meeting point, and finally saw the black sail in the telescope, he handed the telescope to Bozhu, who had been worried.

"Give me a good ship like this, and I can too!" Bo Zhu had always been worried about her nephew, and she thought it was wrong to let a 12-year-old child and a red-haired ghost sail out to sea alone, but she didn't dare to oppose Hong Tao's decision. Now that Hong Tao has proved his correctness once again with the actual results, Bo Zhu has been relieved from his worries and has begun to be a little jealous.

"Well, the next ship will be called Azhu, when the time comes, you will be the captain, and the sisters-in-law will be the crew, and we will go to sea together!" Hong Tao doesn't think that women can't sail far, but it's better not to be in the same boat as men, because that will cause a lot of trouble. If he gets a women's military ship, maybe the effect is not bad, and he plans to give it a try, just to make up for his shortcomings in manpower.

"I can't be a captain...... "Bozhu is quite modest.

"Who says a woman can't be a captain? I don't believe in it! Now that you're the acting captain of this ship, you're ready to set sail, and Jiao has caught up. Don't be afraid, I'll keep an eye on it for you, just like you used to chase whales in a boat, it's easy. Seeing that Bo Jiao and Carl have been able to sail independently, Hong Tao is very happy, even if he can't complete that huge plan, as long as he can cultivate a few more people like Bo Jiao and Carl, they will naturally follow their own steps. Because that's human nature, and the more people like that, the more likely it is that their plans will come true.

With Hong Tao's encouragement and persecution, Bo Zhu became the captain of the ship, and several sisters-in-law and younger siblings became female crew members. Hong Tao was a navigator and a boatswain on the other, and he was busy with a bunch of women to raise and lower the sails, which added a little fun to the boring life at sea. However, compared with the training of the Tan men, the women of the Tan family are more difficult, their spirit of hardship is not weak at all, but they have too little knowledge, less experience in going to sea, and their understanding of ships is relatively shallow, so they have to take their time and are not in a hurry.

As for Bo Zhu, she is not a qualified captain, but a qualified instructor. She could be seen all over the boat, one time to help her sister-in-law raise the sails, and the other time to help her younger siblings turn the sails, every turn of the ship was her busiest time, but she forgot the most important things. If it weren't for Hong Tao who had been helping her record charts, it was really hard to say where the ship would end up.

Golden River! This is the name that Hong Tao marked on the nautical chart for the pioneer point, and it is also the official name of the river on Luzon Island. Regardless of whether others agree or not, anyway, now it's called Jinhe, and it's not enough for his own people to know, Hong Tao also asked Wen Lao Er to carve a line of words on the trunk, smeared with dye, and inserted this trunk into the mouth of the river. Hong Tao told them that this is called a boundary post, which is used to mark their territory, and as long as the place where the stake is inserted, it will belong to the cooperative, that is, everyone's property.

If you don't want to make profits, you won't get up early! As soon as they heard that this stake could do this, the pioneers stuck it all over the place. Not only at the mouth of the river, but also on both sides of the riverbank, there is one a few hundred meters apart, they are more ambitious than Hong Tao, the north side of the river bank must be occupied, and the south side of the river bank cannot be let go. Most of these wooden stakes are written with crooked Chinese characters, some of them are written with the Tanjia Jinhewan, and some are simply written with the words Bo family, Huang family, Wen family and so on. However, Hong Tao does not intend to recognize these private territories, where is this done, it is too unorganized and undisciplined, and it is now the stage of cooperatives, and it is still far from private ownership.

"Who did this Nima? What is a circle? I can't even write a name, and you're embarrassed to insert a boundary stake! Seeing the end, Hong Tao couldn't stand it, there was not even a text on many boundary posts, only a mark was carved with a sharp weapon, and it was inserted on the ground.

After 5 days, the originally quiet Jinhe Bay has been broken by a group of people. Five or six men, shirtless, were sawing wood in a clearing on the bank of the river, shouting trumpets as they sawed. The clearing, which was only about half the size of a football field, was surrounded by a simple stack of felled logs, but the branches had been simply removed, and even the bark had not been peeled. There were two newly built wooden houses in the middle of the clearing, and after Hong Tao saw it, he was very helpless and clicked his lips. The material of the house is log, but there is no difference between the appearance and the bamboo building, and it is cost-effective that these Tan families will not build other house styles except for the bamboo building.
