”Greetings Lord General.”
As the vanguard team, Qin Hong and Qin Wei rushed over to pay their respects to Yang Lin. They had been on the island for more than ten days, and this was the first time they had seen outsiders.
”Get up. How is the island?”
After Qin Hong, Qin Wei and the others arrived at Cook Islands, they only had a basic understanding of it. Due to the entire Cook Islands being covered in snow and ice, and the time being added to that, they did not leave the harbor that far. They only visited the nearby tribes.
”Lord General, from what we know, there are three tribes and ten tribes in the Cook Islands, a total of five ten thousand people s. They live in the north, middle and south of the Cook Islands. These people all lived in caves, where they hunted and fished for a living. It was hard to believe that there were six thousand rivers and more than sixteen hundred lakes in the Cook Islands, producing crabs, herring, cod, and salmon. It is said that there is one of the largest freshwater fish, the Wing Fish. It is over ten meters long and weighs over three thousand catties. ” Qin Hong said excitedly.
”Oh …” Is there still such a big fish? ” The Zhang Banxian suddenly became interested and asked loudly: ”Have you all seen it before? ”Is it good to eat?”
”Hehe …” I just heard that I've never seen nor eaten it. ” Qin Hong laughed and said embarrassedly.
”The wild fish's whole body is precious, its meat thickness is small, its taste is delicious and fresh, the lips are made into fish lips, the bones are made into fish bones, the swim bladder is made into fish bellies, the fins are made into fish wings, and the fish sauce is made out of fish ingredients.” Yang Lin knew about this fish, and laughed: ”That's why, Cook Islands is a true treasure island, we must control it in our own hands.”
”Lord General is right, Cook Islands is indeed a treasure island.” Qin Hong said excitedly: ”Many bitter barbarian have a kind of giant eagle in their homes. bitter barbarian is called Divine Eagle, it's body length is about three feet and its weight is about ten kilograms. They can even catch large prey like the deer trainer, and their hunting speed is extremely fast, just like the Arrows s that come out. ”
”Hehe …” This is the Arrow Condor. It is named for its speed, and because it is large in size, it is also known as the Giant Falcon. It is a very beautiful and fierce falcon. ” The top-grade Arrow Falcon was the gyrfalcon, a hunting tool for the emperors. Yang Lin waved his hand and changed the topic: ”Have you conquered the bitter barbarian yet?”
”Lord General, the life of the bitter barbarian in the Cook Islands was extremely difficult, and they did not form any Tribal Alliance, so they did not have any hostility towards our arrival. The tribes closest to the ports of the Devon also sent guides to lead our troops to several nearby tribes. All these bitter barbarians know that the Darky Court is willing to submit to the Chinese army.
Without even using a single move or a knife, Qin Hong had already seized the Cook Islands and proudly introduced it to Yang Lin. Aside from a few merchants, very few people from the Cook Islands came to the island. In addition to the harsh conditions, no one was willing to live on the island. As a result, the bitter barbarian was not wary of outsiders.
”Since bitter barbarian is willing to submit, we don't need to waste any time here.” As the time for the seal to freeze got closer and closer, Yang Lin decided to leave the port. ”Qin Hong, Qin Wei, you guys stay behind with a squadron to guard the Cook Islands.
”Lord General, we expected that you would leave a Company, so we are prepared.” After Qin Hong said this, he pointed to the officers behind him. ”These are the Company Leaders Zhang Gu and Liu Zhi, they will stay here and guard the Cook Islands.”
”All of you are quite attentive.” Yang Lin looked at Qin Hong and Qin Wei with gratitude, thinking that these two brothers had matured quite a bit. He turned around and smiled at Zhang Gu and Liu Zhi, saying, ”Since bitter barbarian has pledged his allegiance to them, don't disturb them for now. We will leave you with one year's worth of food, and you can also catch some fish. When spring opens next year, we will send Wasteland soldier over, and this Cook Islands will become even more lively.
”Thank you Lord General. We will definitely protect Cook Islands.” Zhang Gu and Liu Zhi bowed towards Yang Lin, then looked at each other. Zhang Gu said: ”Lord General, you said that you want us to fish, how can we fish in this kind of environment?”
”Haha …” Only then did Yang Lin remember that amongst the people at this time, probably no one had ever seen the glacial lake fishing, guarding so many large lakes without any fish to eat, so he smiled and said: ”We have many fish net s on our warships, quickly go and get them. I will teach you how to fish in the glacial lake.”
Not far from the cove there were two rivers, two great rivers that nourished the land to such a fertile and rich extent that the vast expanse of land was covered with lakes, which could be called a land of many lakes, and between the two rivers alone there were more than nineteen lakes of various sizes.
Due to the unique nature of this lake, there are many insects in the water. The fish eat the insects in the water and the grass seeds by the lake, which form the unique texture of flesh. The direction of the wind here was also strange. Sometimes, the southeast wind would suddenly turn northwest, causing the grass seeds that had just moved in the opposite direction to fall into the water, becoming delicious food for the fish.
