Chapter 1390 Going south, going south

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The West Route Fleet left the Taichung Basin and continued south, arriving at the Changhua Plain in the center of western Taiwan.

    The Changhua Plain is bounded by two large east-west rivers, the Da'an River and the Zhuoshui River, and is approximately an equilateral triangle.  It covers an area of ??about 900 square kilometers, with open plains and fertile soil.  Because of the benefits of irrigation, this area is also an important rice-producing area in Taiwan, and has been known as the "Taiwan Rice Warehouse" in later generations.  It is also very suitable for growing cash crops such as sugar cane, rapeseed, and flax. It is an out-and-out treasure land.

    Since it is a treasure land, of course someone will occupy it.  The large amount of cultivated land and village communities are the best proof.

    What is surprising is that when the West Fleet docked at the mouth of a freshwater river, the local aborigines came to greet them warmly and brought them fresh vegetables and venison as greeting gifts.

    This made Tang Youde fully realize that the aboriginal positions are complex and diverse and cannot be generalized.

    Zhao Hao happily accepted their gifts and gave back the ship's cloth, salt and large barrels of wine.  This kind response also made the other party very happy.  After finding an interpreter who could speak Ketagalan among these aboriginal people, the two sides started a pleasant exchange.

    When Mr. Zhao learned that they were aborigines from the Babusa tribe, and that this place was pronounced as 'Lugang' in the Babusa language, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and whispered to Fatty Tang beside him: "The Babusa people are also  An important member of the Eighteenth Society.¡±

    Tang Youde understood immediately and immediately launched a passionate emotional offensive against several of the leaders.  Several aboriginal leaders could not resist Old Tang's tactics. Soon they met him and warmly invited them to have dinner at Lukang Club.

    Mr. Zhao readily agreed. The village community was right under the guns of the battleship, so there was nothing to worry about.

    But he soon regretted it, because when they arrived at the aboriginal village with bamboo huts and earthen walls, and were invited to sit cross-legged on the rattan mat, there were singing and dancing girls who brought bowls to him and Fatty Tang.  Deer blood.

    Tang Youde¡¯s new good friend told them that this was a deer they had just hunted, and the first bowl of blood would be dedicated to the most distinguished guest.

    Fatty Tang immediately put down the bowl and said, "Then I can't drink it. Our young master is the most noble."

    Who would have thought that people would say, it¡¯s okay, just take the second bowl

    Oh, fat man, Tang had no choice but to hold his nose and drink the fishy and hot bowl of deer blood.

    Mr. Zhao knows that he must drink this bowl.

    He sighed secretly, and tilted his neck to drink the bowl of aphrodisiac deer blood.

    ?? It didn¡¯t take long for the two of you to feel hot all over your body

    It¡¯s okay for Zhao Hao, he just went back and did push-ups for an extra hour.  But Fatty Tang didn¡¯t bring a woman on board, only a handsome attendant Although he could handle emergencies, Tang Baolu and his father shared a room!

    ¡®Alas, what should we do tonight¡¯ Tang Youde was secretly worried, wondering if he could let his new friend make arrangements?  No, it will definitely become a laughing stock.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­ Old Tang Never Thought That After He Became a Monopoly, He¡¯d One Day¡­

    ??~~

    After drinking deer blood, eating roasted venison and stewed venison, everyone becomes a family.  Coupled with the Ketagalan people's personal testimony, the Babusa people actually asked to sign a covenant modeled on the "Badouzi Covenant" and said that they would try their best to help attract more village communities to join the alliance.

    Things went so smoothly that Zhao Hao was a little embarrassed, but in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he suppressed his doubts first and asked Tang Youde to sign the "Lukang Covenant" with the Barbusa people on behalf of the group that day.

    After the agreement was made, he arranged another artillery salvo performance as a celebration of the alliance, and to show off his muscles to the allies so that they would not be cautious.

    Then Zhao Hao asked the interpreter to ask if they had any difficulties?

    Several Babuza chiefs were shocked by the earth-shattering power of the artillery salvo, and finally told the truth that they had indeed encountered difficulties - in the past two years, a group of pirates had been regularly attacking their village, snatching food and deer skins.  Their livelihoods were greatly affected, and many village communities moved to the Taichung Basin. Naturally, their strength became weaker and weaker.

    So they want to see if their "powerful allies" who specialize in fighting pirates can help them eliminate this threat.

    Zhao Hao and Fatty Tang smiled at each other after hearing this. It seemed that the aborigines were just uneducated, but they were not stupid at all.  On the contrary, these leaders were very shrewd, and in a blink of an eye they thought of ways to drive away tigers and devour wolves.

    However, annihilating all maritime forces in the Taiwan Strait was originally the mission of the southward fleet, so Mr. Zhao readily agreed and then asked them about the origins of the pirates.

    But the Barbusa people only knew that those people came from the south along the west coast. They should have come from a very far away place, because they had searched all over the country.On the land on both sides of the strait, the dense forests are still full of green, and there is no hint of autumn.

    Zhao Hao knew that Tainan, the most beautiful place in the Jianan Plain, had arrived.  There are many rivers here and the water is very abundant.  It was here that the future Jianan Dazhen would store water and divert it to irrigate other places.

    Continuing to sail forward for thirty miles, we arrived at a huge bay.  The sediment carried by many rivers accumulated at the mouth of the bay and formed a long sandbar, which became the natural breakwater of the bay.

    This is Taiyuan Bay.

    With such an excellent harbor and such fertile land, no wonder the Dutch chose to start here.  In the next few hundred years, this place will be the center of Taiwan for a long time.

    "The future Taiyuan City will be located here." Zhao Hao pointed at Taiyuan Bay and said proudly: "It will become the most prosperous city in Taiwan, bar none!"

    There are no pirates in Tai Yuan Bay.  Because of the Heishui ditch, I haven't seen any ships sailing since I passed Chiayi.

    If it weren¡¯t for the few green coconuts that Tang Baolu brought, Zhao Hao would never have imagined that there was already a large-scale Han immigration area in Dagou, eighty miles south of Damuan Bay.

    He couldn¡¯t wait to hunt the dogs, so the fleet didn¡¯t stop at Dangang and went directly south to hunt the dogs!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
