"At 34 degrees north latitude, the narrow coastal area where the Chumash people live, and the valley between mountains, is the Kingdom's Sanshan Port. When the support fleet arrived, Ke Yuan and Kejie were surprised to find that this valley port by the river mouth, It's not the 200 people in the report, but it has expanded to more than 800 people! Seeing that this supply port is about to be established as a town from a village. And the first-level priest Kebao who presides over this port has also Definitely going to be promoted to the second class..."

"Praise the Lord God! Priest Kebao led only fifty warriors, and in the narrow valley with a radius of more than one hundred miles around the mouth of the river, he initially established the management order of the kingdom. And the Chumash, who were loose and primitive and had no more than a few dozen people The tribes have also accepted the belief of the Lord God, migrated around the port, and planted rough fields. There is no doubt that the development of the kingdom here is a kind of enlightenment of the Lord God! The plain and blank hearts of these Chumash people have been converted to After gaining faith in the Lord God, they became extremely devout. They followed the teachings of the priests and deacons earnestly, learned the farming techniques of the kingdom, and planted the potatoes brought by the kingdom. After last year's autumn harvest, they saw with their own eyes the The unprecedented and abundant food they harvested, their faith returned the same and became stronger!…”

"The support fleet replenished some food at Sanshan Port, unloaded a batch of bronze weapons and tools, and even some iron farming tools. Priest Kebao brought a few young deacons from Chumash, and asked for the support fleet to stay. Send some craftsmen who can build boats. He wants to develop a fishing industry for the port where the tribe gathered. At the same time, he also wants a few elite scouts to further explore the east and west mountains and the northern tribes in the upper reaches of the northeast. ..."

"Keyuan and Kejie expressed their support, leaving behind dozens of kingdom warriors and sailors, supplementing some Chumash tribal sailors. If there are dozens of people like this in the surrounding mountains and the upper reaches of the big river The size of the tribe, the port size of the Sanshan Port, can obviously be expanded! In fact, the priests of the kingdom have already discovered that the smaller the tribe in the north, the more loose and ignorant, and the less food production, the easier it is to spread The belief in the main **** is easier to be absorbed and assimilated by the kingdom!"

"At 35 degrees north latitude, it is the oak tree department of the Salinan people. At 36 degrees north latitude, it is the seaside tribes of the Costanoan people. Ke Yuan and Ke Jie told me that between Sanshan Port and Xishan Port, this thousand Doli, the wet coast suitable for planting, seems to have been preliminarily determined by His Majesty as a place of exile... The kingdom is likely to exile the southern noble chieftains and noble warriors who lost their land after the conquest of Shenzhan! After all, , The west coast of the seven thousand miles is really too vast and desolate, and it is also full of dense forests. To develop this coastline, it is necessary to obtain manpower as much as possible, especially those who have mastered farming and construction techniques..."

The red clouds are dark, and the clouds are floating and foggy. Seeing this, the knowledgeable Mickey and the exploration captain Zuwaro looked at each other, feeling a little flustered.

"Zualo, I'm a little worried... If the kingdom exiles the noble warriors from the southern tribes to the west coast, it will inevitably lead to conflicts between them and the local tribes!..."

"Witness of the Lord God! Mickey, you don't need to think too much. This kind of inter-tribal conflict is completely controllable. The exile of the southern tribes to the north can bring better farming techniques and cultivate more corn fields and potato fields. , and feed more people! The exiled nobles have a small population, and only by marrying, annexing, and assimilating small local tribes can they expand slowly. After all, no matter whether it is the tribes in the north or the south, they are all yellow-skinned The descendants of the Glue Man, the fusion is also very fast... The exiled nobles and warriors can also bring better construction and manufacturing technology, and establish towns and cities, so that this wild and vast west coast can be truly developed. !..."

Hearing this, the knowledgeable Mickey was silent for a long time before he lowered his head and gave a soft "hmm". He secretly made up his mind to sort out a set of clear order rules for the colonization, exile, and development of the west coast, and for the marriage, annexation, and assimilation of the tribes, and even incorporate them into the kingdom's religious law in the end!

"At 38 degrees north latitude, in the vast Jinshan Bay, is the kingdom's most important port on the west coast, the ever-expanding Xishan Port! There are already more than 1,300 people in the entire port, one-third of whom are warriors from the kingdom or southern tribes The remaining two-thirds of the sailors are Miwoks, Costanoans, and Yokuts who converted to join. In the process of recruiting local tribes in the kingdom, the help and appeal of cedar shamans are indeed crucial. Important. And the North Gulf, with a scale of more than 10,000 people, has also become the kingdom's most powerful tribal ally on the entire west coast!..."

"Witness of the Lord God! Xishan Port cultivated and planted a lot of potatoes on the plains and hills by the lake, and had a good harvest last year. Although the potatoes in the kingdom are small, they don't pick the land at all, and they can be planted on the hills. It's also very long. As long as the tribes in the Northland get this crop, they don't dislike it. Among all the tribes, the North Bay of the Cedar Shaman has the largest area of ​​potatoes! The birds they occupy In the Cat River Valley (Napa Valley), the agricultural conditions are very good, and the yield of potatoes is very high, which made the preaching priests sent by the kingdom amazed!..."

"Praise the Lord God! In addition to the development of agriculture, a small shipyard has also been established in Xishan Port. This simple shipyard can only build catamaran warships and slightly larger fishing boats at present. It also It is not possible to build long galleys, but there are sufficient craftsmen and materials for repairing longships! Here, Ke Yuan and Ke Jie saw many carpenters and shipwrights from the Miwok people, all of whom came from the North Bay The North Bay even sent many young nobles to study the Kingdom's characters, calendar and the "Ali Jing" in Xishan Port..."

"Blessed by the Lord God! The rapid development of the North Bay, and the yearning for the glory of the Lord God are far beyond our imagination! Under the guidance of the cedar shaman, the North Bay of the Miwoks encountered the Xishan Port where the kingdom is based. It’s like finding the beans of corn. They are closely entangled with the port of the kingdom, learning everything from the kingdom, and constantly gaining the pillars and strength to grow up!…”

The island hangs in the White Sea, and the long wind comes from the ice field. The knowledgeable Mickey pursed his lips, thinking of the wise and knowledgeable cedar shaman, he had a complicated expression on his face. He pondered for a moment, looked at the thoughtful exploration captain Zuvaro, and said in a low voice.

"Zuvalo, the second batch of large kingdom support fleets arrived at Xishan Port, and the cedar shaman immediately sent an envoy to greet them. Not long after that, he personally rushed to Xishan Port, and the second-level priest Ke Yuan had a long talk!..."

"Huh? Mickey, is it related to the cedar shaman that the priest Ke Yuan stayed in Xishan Port?"

"Very likely! No, it must be!"

The knowledgeable Mickey nodded affirmatively. He thought for a while, then said with a serious expression.

"Lord God bless! The cedar shaman has already been able to converse with the priests of the fleet in Nahua proficiently, and can even recite most of the passages of the "Ali Sutra". He is very strong, and he is also very curious about the southern kingdom...Listen Ke Jie meant that the Cedar Shaman intends to take the returning longboat and go to the Kingdom of the Lake to meet His Majesty! He is willing to hold a ceremony in the Kingdom of the Lake to formally convert to the Lord God... and Priest Ke Yuan is happy to facilitate this, UU Reading www .uukanshu.com is his first dazzling achievement after arriving on the west coast of the Northern Continent!..."

"What! In just one year, the cedar shaman has learned Nahua language and Kingdom characters, and mastered the "Ali Sutra"?!"

Hearing this, the exploration captain Zuvaro was taken aback. On the one hand, he was amazed by the Cedar Shaman's language talent, and on the other hand, he was amazed by the other party's sensitivity and courage to change.

"Lord God! If the cedar shaman really arrives in the kingdom, meets His Majesty, and takes a blood oath to convert to the Lord God...then, as the first tribal shaman with outstanding reputation in the Northern Continent to convert, His Majesty will definitely not be stingy There is even a possibility that he will be directly promoted to a glorious fourth-level priest!..."

"That's right! If that's the case, the mighty North Bay can join the Kingdom of the Lake in the form of an independent fiefdom... and the fate of the entire Miwok tribe will also usher in a turning point! The kingdom may not need to use any force, just You can bring all the tribes along the coast of the Golden Bay into the order of the kingdom, and set up a model of peaceful assimilation for all the tribes... God bless you, may your glory shine among the mountains on the west coast!"
