Extraordinary Sailing

Latest website: The next day of the wind banquet.

Aiwen and the crew have taken over the inspection mission and can’t wait to set sail again for the mainland.

Not because of how much I love the job, but because...the last batch of smuggled goods must be delivered.

call--

Even if it was sailing against the wind from south to north, with the help of "Head Statue·Monsoon Goddess", "Storm Horn" also ran out of a high speed of 6 knots, and reached the destination of this trip in less than a day— -East Lunzi.

It was originally the first colony established by the East Lundz Company established by the royal family. After the later reforms, it was directly placed under the royal family. Now the East Lundz Company cooperates with the governor sent by the royal family to jointly manage it.

The message was delivered in advance through the tern.

When the "Cape Storm" arrived, the businessman who belonged to the East Lunzi Company had already been waiting here.

"Captain Ivan! Welcome to the beautiful East Lunzi."

Seeing Aiwen's arrival, he immediately rushed to him and shook hands with him with a smile on his face.

"Hello Mr. Lixos!"

Ivan took Milan and Gary off the ship, and the first officer Borg stayed behind.

Step on.. step on.. step on..

Behind them, two rows of soldiers carried wooden boxes and filed down the "Storm Horn", which was the 200 flintlock muskets and matching ammunition that Ivan brought from the kingdom.

Two kinds of smuggled goods carried on board.

As a common commodity, industrial textiles have been sold out in the previous colonies, and only the most valuable and most sought-after munitions have not been processed.

Of course, even in this relatively turbulent place, arms trading is not something everyone can do.

Most lucrative businesses, including arms trading, are generally monopolized by the kingdom and big powers with access.

Ordinary people don't even want to get involved.

But for Aiwen's current status, it is nothing. He wants people to have connections, and he needs to have a capital, plus he is one of the strongest armed forces in the New World.

If it weren't for the idea of ​​trying the water for the first time, it would be no problem to double the number of guns.

What's more, these muskets are not advanced military weapons controlled by the military. They are originally "trade muskets"!

Because in the new land colony with sparsely populated land.

There is no strong government and law to protect the lives of pioneers. For most of the pioneers who are just ordinary people, the guns in their hands are the only faithful and credible force.

It is also used to exchange valuable commodities such as fur, and important strategic materials for concluding an alliance with the indigenous Atrians, and can even be directly circulated on this land as hard currency.

So in addition to the sophisticated muskets used by the pioneers, a simple "trade rifle" came into being.

The structure is simple, it is convenient for mass production, and the cost is relatively low, because it is mainly used for the fur trade in the northern part of the New World, and even has a proprietary name: "fur rifle".

"Your Excellency, please come with me. Our Director of Trade, Mr. Necardo, has been waiting for a long time."

"Ok."

The entrainment of private goods by the navy is basically a semi-public matter, and no one can take the risk of offending the entire navy group to be true. Therefore, neither side has the slightest smugglers consciously slander the market.

Even one of them is the official administrator of this colony.

In fact, the business clerk of the Donglunzi company is a member of the ocean-going fleet. Hearing that Ivan has a group of guns that have not yet confirmed the buyer, he immediately recommended himself for the Donglunzi company.

When I was leaving, I asked to consider my company again and again. I didn't expect that Ivan would actually come to the door within a few days. Of course, I was overjoyed.

After half an hour.

"Deal with natives?"

Sitting in the luxurious office of the Director of Trade, Ivan took a sip of high-quality coffee from the New World and asked with interest.

"That's right! Today is the day when we are trading with the Yucatan tribe. Are you interested?"

The chubby Director of Trade, Mr. Nekado, is very polite to Ivan, not only because of his status as the captain of the battleship, but also hopes that by establishing a good relationship with him, he can win more "sources" in the navy.

For the current colonization process in full swing, there will never be too many things like arms.

What's more, the company's two current competitors, North West Leather Co., Hudson Bay Leather Co., are the first old-brand leather companies to enter this industry, and they all have deep backgrounds.

Even a colonial company with an official background in the Kingdom, such as the Donglunzhi Company, has no power to completely conquer them, or to rob them of their monopoly position.

Then only do business honestly.

At this time, arms, a hard currency that is harder than gold, of course have to strive for it.

Especially when the kingdom's overall capacity is limited, if you can fight for more, your competitors will be less.

With good grades, he can be stable in his position, and it is even possible to be transferred back to the local headquarters for promotion.

Otherwise, for a "small business" that is less than one thousand Golden Lions plus freight, there is absolutely no need for the director to act in person.

"Of course, I am very interested. To be honest, when I came to the New World for the first time on a mission, I have not seen what the natives living in the wild look like."

After looking at Milan next to him, Ivan immediately agreed.

Since you have to stay in the New World for at least the first half of the year, it is of course indispensable to deal with the indigenous people.

Aiwen has long wanted to see what the state of the "wild" Atrians living in the wild as a tribe and relying on planting and hunting for a living.

I don’t like the small business Director Nekado. Does Captain Ivan like him?

He just wants to adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible. No matter how much information he collects, it is obviously not as true and efficient as to see it with his own eyes.

Director Necardo’s proposal was a surprise to Aiwen.

Especially when he has reached the peak of the official knight and must prepare for his future path.

Contacting the "Eagle Warrior Training Method" previously obtained from the first officer of the "Eagle Spirit", I wonder if the indigenous tribes here have a similar extraordinary heritage?

If you can create a few more copies of this special occupation secret scroll, it will be of great help to your own analysis of the power of that special tattoo.

Necardo only regarded this as an ordinary outing to bring ties closer, and he didn't realize that his guest already had a different idea...

Da Da Da... Da Da Da...

A group of people rode high-headed horses and rushed inland with four horse-drawn carriages.

The big-waisted director walked side by side with Irving on horseback. He had a very good conversation, and he spoke clearly and citing the classics. If he is not an administrative official, he is also a good guide.

"I heard that at the beginning, the pioneers used a musket for the fur to be as high as the gun. Tsk tsk, it's not working now..."

Before the arrival of the first colonists, the aborigines here did not invent wheels or horses. They talked about the hardships of the pioneers, and talked about various specialties and the current situation of the indigenous people.

Of course, these Sorella horses that they are riding now, originally from the Kingdom of Ilya, are indispensable.

They have the spirit of pride and bravery, as well as the temperament of tame and easy to get close to others, and at the same time possess strong explosive power and graceful demeanor.

The most important thing is that the price is high, which obviously gave Ivan a lot of face!

The convoy went all the way, and the tall deciduous broad-leaved forest around it gradually became dense.

According to Necardo.

Although mainly living in the inland areas, not all indigenous tribes are far from the colonies.

Except for the Gashna Empire, which once lived on the northwest front of the New World, and the Azik Empire, which lived in the south-central part, many indigenous tribes in other regions actually lived a semi-safari and semi-settled life.

In colonies with large areas and sparsely populated areas, the forces of natives and colonizers are often in conflict with each other, and it is difficult to define the boundaries of forces.

And outsiders can't even imagine it.

The indigenous Akalians themselves are not monolithic, and the hatred between the tribes is even far greater than that of the colonists. They have never reached a consensus, nor can they unite their strength.

Even if he gets a musket, he always shoots at his own person first.

Even Gashna and Azik, which are known as empires, are more like federations governed by a common government. The chaotic internal forces only recognize the status of the sovereign in name.

When Hilius landed, the two empires were not completely broken by violence, but the Hilius took advantage of their internal contradictions, united one group to fight another group, and easily achieved brilliant results.

The same applies to the northern part of the New World where the "Tulip Alliance" takes root.

There are many tribes, large and small, and there are hundreds of languages ​​alone. One can imagine how many tribes are divided into. Iroquois, Hurons, Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondaga, Senesa, Cayuga...

Among them, Iroquois and Huron are even more deeply feuds.

This also happens to give the relatively weak pioneers a chance to deal with them!
