963 good natives

"Quick, dock." At this time, the captain said calmly and loudly.

"Docked." All the people on board were waiting hopefully for the arrival of the shore. Bring them great dreams of wealth.

"As soon as we get on the shore, will we get rich?" A younger Korean mercenary asked.

"I don't know. However, we are not far from riches. A slightly older mercenary said. They are here just to make a fortune.

"Prepare to land." One of the sailors shouted. The ship slowly approached.

The waves of the sea lap against this unexplored virgin land.

"Quick, get our flag planted." The Korean businessman shouted loudly with joy.

Behind him were a number of exhausted Korean mercenaries, exhausted and exhausted to climb the new land.

"This land will be mine from now on." The merchant called out loudly.

"I'm going to build a house here the size of a royal palace. There's a lot of salt pans here. "The merchant began to plan his grand and vast plans. And the mercenaries behind him clearly did not have such great ideas. What they're thinking about now is how to fill their stomachs and get them back on their feet.

"Someone." This time. A mercenary shouted.

And all of them were nervous and stood still. The merchant looked around nervously.

"It's indigenous." Another mercenary shouted nervously when he saw it.

"Prepare to shoot." At this time, a sailor picked up the flintlock pistol in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Don't shoot." A mercenary stopped.

"Shoot, they're coming closer." The merchant shouted nervously. When the natives really come. The merchant has completely lost that greedy nature.

"Don't shoot, we can't beat them now." The mercenary stopped.

And after the people around heard this. They all looked at each other. There were only six of them. There were only four people who could shoot and fight, and the natives who came across were obviously not just four, but many. At least one tribal one.

"If we shoot, we will die, maybe they will be kind to us." The mercenary said at this time. The reality is that even if a whole boatload of people comes over, they will have a hard time resisting. Because, many people have lost their combat effectiveness, so they are not capable of fighting.

Because of the draft, the boat needed a small boat to ferry them to the shore. And those mercenaries, who have been adrift for many days in a row, can no longer adapt to life on the ship. At this time, they are weak.

"Okay. Let's give it a try. "This time. The sailor put down the rifle in his hand, he wanted to live. The matter of getting rich is already on the back of my mind.

"Woo-la-la." The natives were visibly delighted, and a native, wearing a lot of feathers and a deerskin, shouted loudly. And the surrounding natives soon surrounded them. It seems that there is no natural conflict between them.

The natives brought a lot of food. These foods are foods that Koreans have never seen before. And the people on the big boat, seeing this situation at this time, also put down the ferry boat and docked and met them.

Hospitable natives were quick to treat these "guests." "Give the introduction to your own home.

Human exploration is not just in danger and suspicion, but more often than not. It is the locals who welcome the "guests" who come from afar as a kind of host. "Traveling with weapons is obviously a bit of a burden.

Soon, South Korea was among the first to arrive in this unexplored area. Received a warm welcome from the local indigenous people. And these Koreans, they came with weapons, and their purpose was to conquer here. Enslavement of the local people. But now, they're treated like guests. It's a historical joke.

Actually, there's an even bigger joke. This place discovered by the Koreans is not the mainland. It's an island. Judging by the later personal diary records as well as the records of the logbook. The Koreans, with the help of the northeast wind, allowed them to discover a large island, which is today's Taiwan.

Coincidentally, the Koreans were originally going to follow the coastline to discover the Viet people who were located on land from the sea. But their luck was a bit back, and they were blown to sea by the northeast wind of winter. If they continue sailing, it is likely to be a disaster, because they will enter the Pacific Ocean, where they may encounter some small islands. However, there are more disasters, lack of water, food, and all kinds of disasters that often occur at sea, storms. These could destroy them completely.

Fortunately, their captain realized the danger in time, and they began to turn around and head west, hoping to return to the mainland as soon as possible. If they're late, they're going to be in for a big disaster.

In their westward journey, they mistook Taiwan's eastern coastline for the mainland, and they quickly landed on the coast here. It was the first place where the Yue people were indigenous.

It is very likely that the natives here arrived here by boat from the sea, that is, from the mainland, and the reason why they reached the east coast is most likely that they crossed the entire island of Taiwan. I lived here. Perhaps, these natives themselves do not know. It's an island, and it's a big island. Because they can't perceive the exact size of the island.

The Koreans discovered the island by accident, but they originally came here to make a fortune, but now, they can't make a fortune. Because they have been floating on the sea for too long. After a long period of wandering, they were no longer able to maintain their physical strength to fight. They desperately need to rest and regain their strength. Only then will they be able to go to war.

And the Koreans only after waging war. When it comes to transporting their wealth back home. They will find out that they have accidentally discovered a large island. However, this is a matter for the future, and this matter will need to be put on hold for quite some time. They need to regain their strength.

This inadvertent discovery by the Koreans will reveal a historical aspect.

And on the mainland. Today's location in Fujian, eastern Guangdong. It was the territory of the Chu people. More and more Chu people joined in the hunting activities, and a large number of slaves were transferred to the Qin people under the hunting of Chu people.

The Chu people developed along the coastal line, because their navigation technology was not very mature, they did not have knowledge such as latitude and longitude, and at the same time did not have instruments such as navigation clocks and sextants, so their expansion was carried out along the coastal line.

And the Koreans found the island of Taiwan is indeed a big surprise, they have no advanced knowledge, and at the same time, they do not have any advanced equipment to help them discover the island, on the contrary, they just rely on luck, which is enough for them. If it weren't for the winter winds and the captain's sense of danger, it is likely that they would have been buried in the sea. Or, they will drift farther away, and in the end they will not escape their fate.

Both Chu and Korea had already made bold attempts at their seafaring ventures, but on the contrary, the Qin people had made no progress in this regard.

The Qin State was still a traditional land state, and the country's strategic policy remained on land, and there were not enough interests in the sea to divert their strategic attention. Moreover, the Qin State only valued the shipbuilding industry, the ship transportation industry, and so on. These industries are enough for them to make more huge profits.

Some Chu merchants who had made a fortune from slaves were buying some ironclad ships, which were faster, carried more people, and had more supplies. They want to meet their needs with more speed, but there are still some technical and logistical requirements, but then a certain number of ships will be enough for them.

But more Chu merchants once again opted for wooden ships, which relied on sails, that is, they had less logistical pressure. Moreover, the cost is relatively cheap, and if you build twenty such wooden ships, you can build one ironclad ship. It can be said that ironclad ships are expensive.

In addition, there is also the relationship between the Chu State, and the Qin State cannot cross the threshold of the Chu State, because the Chu State will occupy the position of the entire downstream, and the Qin State must cross the Chu State if it wants to open up a maritime career. Obviously, if you cross the state of Chu, you must destroy the state of Chu. And the state of Qin does not have such a capability at present. Their forces were extremely limited, and they could not draw troops to launch a war against the state of Chu.

There are many reasons why the Qin state did not make significant progress in its maritime undertakings, but, most importantly, the Qin state itself did not have this awareness of developing navigation, and although Shang Wen had always emphasized this point in the Qin state, the Qin state was still a traditional land state, in their opinion. Growing food on land is far more useful for the development of those seafaring undertakings.

In addition, Qin's land surroundings are relatively special, and the more Qin expands its territory, the more enemies there are around Qin. The more the Qin state needs to increase its national defense forces, more and more. And in this way. Qin Guo's attention was all shifted to this. And the Qin State naturally did not have such a big heart for the navigation industry.

"We still haven't gone to sea, we haven't even seen the sea, although we have a navy, but the navy hasn't seen the sea, is this still called a real sea?" Shang Wen often asked himself.

"Our navy can only be called a navy now." Shang Wen muttered to himself. Shang Wen attaches great importance to the navigation industry, but there has been no progress for a long time, Shang Wen is very helpless about this, Qin is a land country, there is no need to develop navigation.
