This time, Shao Xuan and Duo Kang brought a total of 200 people, and they couldn't bring more.
There is also a member of the Enriching Tribe in the team, Qingyi, who was a mid-level totem warrior at the time, but has now been promoted to a senior level, and before Qingyi often took the team out to trade, he is quite experienced among the people of the Enlightening Tribe. . Moreover, all eyes are brown. In the Embrace tribe, people with eyes of this color are relatively mild-tempered, not easy to be irritable, and not reckless.
This time, it was Qingyi himself who proposed to Shao Xuan that he wanted to accompany him. He himself had brought his team to the Pu tribe many times before to trade. Compared to the trip, it really seems like a joke, so this time, when Qing sees Yanjiao and wants to travel far, he asks to follow him and go out to gain insights.
If nothing else, Qingyi is already the next leader of the default, and when Fanmu steps down, Qingyi will take over. In other words, the next leader of a tribe should have a wider range of knowledge, but the scope of activities of the tribesmen is too small, and many things are only known after the establishment of the Yanhe trading area, and it is limited to hearing. Therefore, Qingyi wanted to seize this opportunity to go out and have a look to see what a real long-distance trip looks like.
Unexpectedly, this trip of Yanjiao is much farther than that of other tribes. Instead of giving up, Qingyi is looking forward to it even more. The Yanjiao tribe has a kind of water sun stone, which is obtained from the sea. If there is a chance, he also wants to go and see what is there.
Shao Xuan did not refuse, Qingyi could control his temper, not impulsive, and he would not talk nonsense about things that should be kept secret.
When Shao Xuan brought people to the Changzhou Tribe, the river flowing through the Changzhou Tribe was blocked for a long time, but there were very few long-distance teams to go there by boat, and Shao Xuan did not. See the boats stuck there.
After hearing the news that the Yanjiao people had finally arrived, the leader of the Changzhou tribe, Mu Lu, walked out of the tribe.
"You are finally here!" He had already received a letter from Yanjiao, and eagerly did all the preparations, and even blocked the section of the river in order to protect the boat.
Before they fused the fire, they agreed to the conditions of Yanjiao, and this time the people of Yanjiao were going to sea, which was exactly the wish of the Changzhou tribe.
They have been looking forward to this day for a long, long time.
Everything was ready, and after waiting for several days, I saw Yanjiao's boat coming.
"You're too slow!" Timber complained. "When do we set off? We can sail at any time!"
Shao Xuan looked at the river. When he came to the Changzhou tribe, there were many large and small boats docked on the river in front of the Changzhou tribe, but now, all the others have disappeared, only fifteen boats. Docked there, ten large ships and five small ships, of course, that is only relative, because the five small ships are the same size as the two ships given to Yanjiao by the Changzhou tribe, and they should have been built in the same batch. .
Shao Xuan had suspected when the Changzhou tribe delivered the boat. The Changzhou tribe might have bigger ambitions and even better things hidden in the dark. Now, he finally saw it.
Those ten big boats were twice as big as the boats Shao Xuan and the others were on now. At first glance, they were newly built and had never been used before.
After the fusion of the fire, the ambitions of the Changzhou tribe seemed to be ignited.
If it wasn't for Yanjiao's proposal to go to sea this time, the Changzhou Tribe might not have exposed these ten ships so early.
"Why, are you scared?" Seeing Yanjiao's group's surprised or amazed eyes, Mu Fa's face was bright, "How many boats do you think we will take out?"
"What? Think it's a small boat? Are you kidding? Are you sure you're going out to sea instead of going out to play?... Think there are only ten? What? You look down on our Changzhou Tribe? When did our Changzhou Tribe only go out with only ten ships? Ship?!"
When Shao Xuan was chatting with Duokang and the others, he got on the boat to visit. The internal construction is similar to the two boats sent to them by the Changzhou tribe. The boats are designed with watertight compartments, and the masts and sails have also been improved, making them more suitable for travel in strong wind and waves.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that a tribe in the interior has been thinking about how to go to sea.
Because they were in a hurry to go to sea, the leader of the Changzhou tribe's expedition was personally led by the leader Mu Lu.
Without the original fire, after integrating the fire, they can leave the tribe for a longer time without worrying about the degradation of their strength. This time, there are nearly three hundred people from the Changzhou tribe who traveled with the logging. On average, there are only twenty per boat. There are only about twenty people, but they can control a large ship very well.
Human rowing? If there is a need, isn't there still the Flaming Horn
The boat is already full of supplies, enough for them to roam outside for a long time. The Changzhou Tribe does not have the jerky made from the meat of the fierce beasts like Yanjiao, but they have other substitutes, such as some grains unique to their tribe, which they never use. Foreign transactions are only kept in their own hands, and every year the expedition team will bring some. For this expedition, because the preparation time is too short, they have purchased a lot of other food from other tribes that can be stored for a long time. .
Not only the people in Changzhou were in a hurry, but the people in Yanjiao were also unwilling to delay. Therefore, after staying in the Changzhou tribe for one night, the team set off early the next morning.
The ships of the Changzhou tribe are in front, they are familiar with the waterway and lead the way ahead.
Among the people traveling, Shao Xuan also saw a few acquaintances, such as Mu You. The long-distance travel of the Changzhou tribe is spent most of the time on the boat, running along the various rivers, and the knowledge that they should have. Observing the sky is a skill that many crew members need to learn. They can judge the weather as soon as possible, and can also predict the weather in advance. Be prepared to reduce losses. Mu You, the elder of the Changzhou tribe, is considered to be the leader in judging celestial phenomena, but Mu You did not dare to look directly at Shao Xuan. When he was looking for green-faced fangs in the fierce beast forest, Mu You was beaten in the face by Shao Xuan.
Now the two tribes are considered to be cooperating, and their interests are related, and Mu You will not directly shake his face, but it is just embarrassing, and try not to contact Shao Xuan. As soon as he saw Shao Xuan, Mu You would think of the fact that he was slapped in the face at that time. He, the leader in judging astronomical phenomena, would be wrong! The most embarrassing thing is that at that time, most people chose to believe in Shao Xuan instead of him! Fortunately, not many people know about this.
Shao Xuan asked for another boat from the Changzhou tribe. There were no big boats, but there were a lot of smaller boats in the Changzhou tribe.
Because he was in a hurry to go to sea, he did not hesitate to cut the wood this time, and agreed very boldly, and in order to round up a whole number, he directly transferred two more ships. Although they were used, there was no quality problem. The Changzhou tribe still attaches great importance to the maintenance of the boat.
Twenty ships, in this place where even ships are rare, are not small in scale, especially the first ten ships, which are quite eye-catching.
Wherever they passed, there were always many people who stopped to watch and waited until the twenty ships left and could no longer be seen before they retracted their sights. Shipbuilding also requires talent. Why is the ship of the Changzhou Tribe not easy to sink? The secret involved in this is not the slightest bit. Even if someone imitates it and creates such a shape, it will not be able to create such a quality.
Moreover, this time the ship was built using some new bronzes that the Changzhou tribe bought at a high price from Yanjiao. They could not get the new bronzes, and the people of Yanjiao would not be stupid enough to tell them the secrets in the new bronzes, while the Changzhou boat It is also what Yanjiao needs, so there will be such a mutually beneficial transaction.
The people of the Changzhou tribe would rather use stone tools themselves than cut corners on the boat, so Shao Xuan can also trust the quality of these twenty boats. If there is anyone else who can build the most secure sailing ship, it is probably only the Changzhou tribe.
Of course, outsiders do not know about the transaction.
And those who stood on the shore watching the fleet thought at first that it was another big action by the Changzhou tribe, but those who were careful found that this was not the case. There were also people from the Flaming Horn.
Why do you know Yanjiao people? Because of the transaction area and the matter of the king beast behind, the flame horn has become popular on this continent for a while, and now many people know the flame totem symbol of the flame horn.
Along the waterway guided by the Changzhou tribe, the fleet reached the grasslands. The grassland is very large. Without the guidance of the Changzhou Tribe, Shao Xuan would have no idea that there is such a waterway here. It is a route that Shao Xuan and the others have never traveled.
As he sailed forward, Shao Xuan perfected the map.
The further forward, the deeper the doubt in Shao Xuan's heart.
The tribal people living on both sides of the river on the grassland seem to have come to understand the behavior of the Changzhou tribe. The boat tribe has been able to build boats many times larger than their tribe's largest tent.
Apart from the fact that sometimes it takes a little more effort to go upstream, there are no major obstacles along the way. One is that in the grasslands, there are very few threatening beasts in the river, and the other is that the tribes living here are opposite to each other. The Zhou tribe is familiar with them, and they are unwilling to provoke the people of the Changzhou tribe.
When he reached the end of the grassland, Shao Xuan also saw people from the Hui tribe.
When Shao Xuan set off from the tribe, he asked Zhacha to bring a letter to the Hui tribe. Now Zhacha is waiting here with the people from the Hui tribe. The Changzhou tribe will follow a few people in case they encounter other giant eagles on the mountain. There are people from the Hui tribe, and it is a little safer to avoid the attack of the giant eagles in this area.
The river meanders between the mountains, and Shao Xuan asked Timber, "Is there really such a route from long boats to grasslands and then through these mountains?"
Mufa paused and looked at the river flow in front of him, as if passing through time and space, "Of course there is no original, the reason why it can flow through is because we, the Changzhou tribe, drove it out by ourselves!"
Otherwise, why can it be smooth all the way up to now
"What do you think our Changzhou Tribe's fleet travels every year?" Logging said meaningfully.
Many rivers did not intersect originally, but because of the people of the Changzhou tribe, they intersected.
Connect the most suitable rivers and explore the most suitable waterways, Changzhou people have planned it all!
Manpower created this route into the sea!
