When a whaling ship sails on the sea, unlike ordinary ships, it never relies on routes, but follows whales, and it even sails to every corner of the vast sea.

It has been a few weeks, but the whale meat in the boat is only a few dozen tons, and they have not even encountered a big whale once.

The "Sky Rich" whaling ship continued to sail forward quietly.

They sailed through the Kuril Islands, where there was no slightest population, only some unmanned whaling stations, where they could temporarily stop for a day or two to replenish fresh water. As for the food, the whale meat in the cabin was enough for them to eat for a long time.

In this way, the whaling ship "Sky Rich" continued to sail northward, and it even sailed to the ice sea. This sea area was named after the many floating ices on the sea. In another world, this is the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in Russia. Although there is a lot of floating ice in this area, it has a reputation as the "Sea of ​​Whale" just like the North Sea (Sea of ​​Japan). Although the temperature is very low, the places close to the coastline have not yet frozen. However, everyone knows that soon, thick ice will be filled with. Whether in another world or now, it is a barren land, and only some natives live here.

However, even natives are extremely rare here.

For whaling ships, this is the world. They never know where they are. They will follow whales to every corner of the world.

That night, the weather was clear.

The bright moon hangs high, the waves ripples, and the sea is filled with charming silence.

The lookout hand standing on the top of the main mast is looking out. In fact, everyone knows that there is no need to lookout hand on duty at night, because everyone knows that even if a whale is found at this time, according to the habits of whalers, they will not rashly get off the boat to chase, because it is dark now.

The night is a friend of whales and the opponent of whalers. At this time, it is easy to get into trouble when chasing. If the boat capsizes, it is very likely that people will not be found. The only way to wait for whalers to fall into the water is to die.

Moreover, this is still near the sea. If you encounter a reef while tracking it, it will not be as simple as a dead person, and it may even be a shipwreck.

Just as he looked down at the shore, he suddenly shouted loudly.

"There is a fire on the shore! It's a native village!"

The shore is indeed an indigenous village. This area is called "Magadan" in another world. It is located in the eastern part of Russia and is on the coast of the Okhotsk Sea. The indigenous people living in this area have been far away from the civilized world. In another world, until the Stalin era, under Stalin's rule, many prisoners were driven here to build the Kolema Highway from the Magadan coast to the capital Yakutsk. The locals have always called this road "The Road of Corpse", because it is said that one prisoner died on an average of every meter of road.

Of course, there is no road leading to this area now, which is far away from the civilized world.

Even though the Ming whaling ships often appeared in this area, no ships had arrived in this area. The captain and sailors of the "Sky Wealth" did not even know that they were the first Ming people to arrive here.

"Since there are natives, go ashore tomorrow to check it out to see if you can change something."

Even if it is a whaling ship, they will occasionally work part-time trading ships. For example, when they sail in the "volcanic island", which is called the "Kamchatka Peninsula" in Russia, in addition to whaling, they will also row a sampan to land while cruising along the coast, trade local indigenous tribes, and trade fur with cheap commodities. The most popular commodities include ironware on the ship, ceramics, cotton cloth and other commodities. The indigenous people here only have primitive iron smelting technology and pottery making techniques. A high-quality axe can be exchanged for more than a dozen bear skins, and a plate can be exchanged for several deer skins. In a word, if you are lucky, you will encounter an indigenous tribe's chance of making money, even better than whaling. More importantly, the money belongs to them and does not need to be given to the boss.

However, indigenous tribes are often hard to come by, and now they encounter native tribes.

"Hurry up, prepare your family, let's go ashore, Lao Liangtou, bring your Japanese sword. If they dare to make any noise, they will just chop them..."

Li Si shouted loudly, "There is a chance to make a lot of money from the natives, and of course there is a possibility of losing their lives." After all, there are a few natives who are gentle and kind, and the so-called gentle and kindness are all because the knife cuts too hard.

They are good at singing and dancing, and are hospitality... they are all after being beaten. Of course, sometimes the reason why they are hospitality is because they don’t understand.

The boat was parked near the sea. For the sailors, countless people were dreaming of making money that night.

The next day, the fog on the sea had just dissipated. Taha, who had walked out of the tent, heard the soldiers of the tribe huddled on the shore and pointed at the sea. In the distance, there was a large ship as big as a hill parked there.

"What kind of ship is that?"

They had never seen such a large ship, and all the natives in reindeer leather jackets stood on the shore in surprise.

When the natives on the shore looked at the big ships on the sea, the people in the big ships also looked at them, looking at the natives wearing knee-length leather robes.

"Be careful when you get ashore later, these may be ghosts."

The so-called "Liugui Man" originated from the Tang Dynasty. There is Liugui Kingdom north of the North Sea, which is 15,000 miles away from Chang'an. In the 14th year of Zhenguan, the envoy Yu Zhi was sent to Chang'an, and Emperor Taizong of Tang used She Zhi as the cavalry commander. Liugui Kingdom should be the northernmost country among the Asian countries that were envoyed by Tang.

However, no one knows what the Liugui Kingdom, which "goes 15,000 miles to the capital, is directly northeast of the Hei Shui Mori, and blocks the sea from three sides." Until now, no one knows where it is.

Compared with "river ghosts", they prefer to use another word to call them "savage Jurchen". However, in another world, the tribes living here are called "Koriaks" by Russia. They are similar to the savage Jurchen on both sides of Heilongjiang. Those who live in the inland live with reindeer, while those who live by fishing and hunting fish and beasts in the sea make their living.

These people have lived here for thousands of years and have rarely been exposed to foreign civilizations.

When Taha and others saw the boats lowered from the big ship, they all looked at the sea with their weapons with vigilant eyes.

A group of ten people took a whaling boat to slowly row to the shore. When they approached the shore, the natives did not attack immediately, but were curious to observe each other and their clothes. They had never seen such a dress before.

Before going ashore, the two sides were twenty or thirty steps away, Li Si looked at each other first. He noticed that the spears, bows and arrows of these people seemed to be made of copper, and there seemed to be no iron tools, so he shouted:

"We have no malice."

The native leader also stepped forward and said something "Ji Li" to him.

When the chickens talk to the ducks, no one can understand what the other party said. After a simple test, Li Si of course had to give them some gifts. The so-called gifts were gadgets such as cloth and glass beads. These gifts were naturally welcomed by the natives.

Although they are speechless, they do not prevent them from simply colluding, especially after these "big ship guests" from the sea did not show goodwill, they became guests of the natives.

At the enthusiastic invitation of the native leader, Li Si and others entered the village. Liang Min, who seemed to be smiling, were all paying attention to the situation in the village. The residences of these natives were half-cellars.

Perhaps it is because of the thousands of miles of mountains and forests in the north that ice fields blocked human migration and the spread of civilization. Perhaps it is because of the weather that the natives here did not seem to have developed agriculture, but made a living by hunting and grazing reindeer.

When the indigenous people came to watch, they saw many women holding pots and pots in their hands. It seemed that they could make pottery and even some simple iron tools.

The first meeting between the two sides was very harmonious. The native leader asked someone to kill a few reindeer to entertain these guests from afar. Of course, Li Si and others did not eat for nothing. After discovering that these natives had only sour milk wine, they brought a barrel of "sugar cane wine" from the ship.

"Wine, drink, drink..."

Li Si reached out and gestured. After taking a sip, the native leader suddenly shone and shouted excitedly.

stew!

Spiritual wine!

While he was full of wine and meat, the drunk native leader even came to perform native dances for these guests.

The guests and hosts had fun this night...
Chapter completed!
