The Chinese brought by Li Quan were allowed to live temporarily on the island.
As for how long to stay, it is inconvenient for the two sides to communicate, and the specific issues are not clear.
But one thing is certain, the warchief will not allow them to settle permanently.
Historically, Captain Cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands by accident. And on the day he came, the aborigines were offering sacrifices to the god Long Nuo, and the sacrificial team needed to sail around the island to celebrate, and Captain Cook was also going around the island to check the situation. The behavior of the two parties was so coincidental that the aborigines regarded Captain Cook as "Long Nuo" and descended to earth.
The islanders paid homage to Captain Cook and presented him with a helmet and cloak, which are the attire of the upper class.
Captain Cook stayed on the island for a month before setting off to explore the Northern Sea Route. He deliberately did not go with the wind and the current, and soon encountered a storm, and the ship was damaged and decided to return to Hawaii for repairs.
The chief is angry, although you are a god, but I am the leader here. If you go down to earth, I will serve you too, why are you still coming back? Want to grab a seat with me? If you don't want to go back to the God Realm, then I will send you back!
So the two sides fought, Captain Cook was killed, and his soul finally returned to the God Realm.
The islanders were very happy, and held a funeral for Captain Cook, all in accordance with the specifications for burying the gods. The internal organs of the corpse were hollowed out and then roasted with fire, and the bones were preserved for future religious offerings and sacrificial ceremonies.
Playing tricks and playing tricks will end badly.
Li Quan stayed on the island for several days and called the leaders under his command to a meeting. The missionary officer Ye took the lead in saying: "The aborigines here grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. We know that sweet potatoes and potatoes were brought by Europeans from the Americas. These aborigines should have never seen Europeans, and where did they come from? Sweet potatoes, potatoes? Could it be that their ancestors came from the Americas and were able to cross the ocean hundreds of thousands of years ago?"
"The aborigines here also feed pigs and dogs. Are there pigs and dogs in America?" Guo Ziwei, a star guide, asked a question.
"Not sure." Everyone shook their heads.
There are not only pigs, dogs, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the island, but also the original cotton variety "wool cotton". The aborigines are already planting and cultivating wool cotton, but the cotton production is still very low. Only the nobles on the island can afford cotton cloth, and the sails of the aborigines are also made of cotton cloth.
Li Quan chewed the exchanged bananas, and said with emotion: "The islands here are isolated overseas, and there are secrets hidden everywhere, and they will not be clear for a while."
Guo Ziwei said: "The latitude and longitude have been measured. This island is located at 37 degrees east longitude and 19 degrees north latitude. According to the longitude calculation, we have sailed 9,500 miles from the port of Manzanillo. From here, we will return to Luzon or Taiwan. , You have to continue sailing for 17,000 miles."
"That is to say, this island is located at one-third of the entire voyage," Li Quan said, "then this place is very important, and it is entirely possible to establish a stronghold for resupply and accommodation for the wounded and sick."
Feng Qianli, the captain of the deputy ship, said: "In the past few days, I have explored five large and small islands in the northwest, and it is enough to conquer one of them by force. Then, leave 50 soldiers to stay on the island and marry indigenous women as concubines. , lest they cannot bear the loneliness."
Ye said: "I'm afraid no one is willing to settle on the island, and they have family members in the country."
"The longest stay is only two years," Feng Qianli said, "Leave 50 soldiers this year, and take away 25 when they come next year, and change the other 25 soldiers to live here."
Ye asked: They left, what about the native wives on the island? "
Feng Qianli said: "The wife stays on the island and waits for her husband to come back in a few years."
Li Quan smiled and said: "If you rotate like this, doesn't every soldier have to marry a wife on the island?"
"If you can endure two years of loneliness, you don't have to marry," Feng Qianli said. "We only bring 300 soldiers on board. Even if we all marry wives, we only need 300 aboriginal women. There are so many aboriginals here, 300 Women are sure to find them casually."
Li Quan asked for everyone's opinions: "Should we raise slaves?"
"It must be raised. Is it possible to take down the island and release all the slaves?" Guo Ziwei said.
No one objected.
Ye said: "Let's call them tenants. The imperial court does not allow slaves."
The name is different, but the essence is the same.
The Han landlords in Luzon and Yecheng raised many tenants of different races. To put it bluntly, they were no different from slaves, so the government was not allowed to kill slaves casually.
"Boom~~~~"
A loud noise accompanied by a slight earthquake interrupted the meeting in an instant. They turned their heads and saw thick smoke billowing in the distance.
volcanic eruptions!
This is the largest island of the Hawaiian Islands - Hawaii Island, also known as Volcanic Island.
VolcanoInquire about the situation behind the Chinese fleet.
And Papu, the chief of Maui, has long been vigilant, because Chinese ships have gone around the island to investigate.
Papp felt that his "navy" would definitely not be able to defeat outsiders. Therefore, after the Chinese fleet appeared, he mobilized as many troops as possible, and also recruited nearby civilians to form an army to fight on a beach.
"The enemy is to the east!"
"There are probably more than a thousand people, all of them are men. It seems that women are not allowed to fight."
The Chinese fleet explored around the island, found the location where the enemy gathered, and went to the enemy specifically.
One boat after another was lowered, and more than two hundred soldiers rowed close to the beach.
"Boom boom boom!"
The five large ships fired suddenly, and the shells flew towards the native army.
Ali Kamiya watched from a distance, then shouted in horror: "Go back quickly!
He often sent troops to Maui to plunder, robbing food and slaves while the enemy was not paying attention. Similarly, the natives of Maui will also go to his territory to plunder. But neither of them thought about it, and completely annexed each other.
At this moment, Ali Kamiya saw with his own eyes that his mortal enemy was scattered by a burst of shelling.
What a terrifying outsider, it seems that he is really descended from the gods.
