Marin remembers that in a historical novel that I saw in his previous life that traveled through the Song Dynasty mentioned the fact that he sent troops to occupy Hokkaido and raised horses in Hokkaido. But he knew that although the plains on Hokkaido were not small, most of them were covered by forests and were not suitable for raising horses.
However, this is not a problem. Because the Sorenma is a breed suitable for jungle activities and is familiar with the jungle. The Ishikawa Plain, the Yongfu Plain and the Tokaka Plain on the island are good places to raise the Sorenma.
Moreover, the island can also be used as a training ground to train Sauron mercenaries and savage Jurchens to fight in the jungle. After all, according to Mizuko, there are also tens of thousands of Escherichia people on the island, which is just for the Soren and savage Jurchens to practice.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the Hokkien people are barbarians, but they are not fierce enough. As barbarians, they are not as fierce as the Northeast fishing and hunting nation, and their combat effectiveness is very average. Therefore, they are often beaten by short Japanese people. After fighting for thousands of years, they first lost the northern part of Honshu Island, and later even Hokkaido was simply thrown away.
Therefore, although it is called Barbarians, the Ainu people are very shameful of the barbarians. After all, the barbarians should be a group with strong combat power. As a result, the Ainu people have become leveling monsters for Japanese people who are as short as elementary school students, without the terror of barbarians.
You should know that the Jurchens are much stronger than the Ainu people as well. The combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's northern border army was not bad. At that time, they repelled the 200,000 Japanese troops who invaded North Korea. However, in front of tens of thousands of Jurchen Eight Banners soldiers, the Ming army could only defend the city and protect themselves.
According to the current population of the Ekima people, it should not be difficult to gather tens of thousands of soldiers. However, they still cannot defeat the Japanese Daming army, which shows how weak they are.
What era was this? The Japanese village chief was in the Warring States Period! Daming in the north, because of his poorness, every time he went to battle, there were at most hundreds of small Japanese samurai in front, and a row of sharpened bamboo poles in the back, wearing thousands of bamboo and wood armor.
In this era, the Japanese army actually relied on samurai to decide the outcome. The slightest role of the Japanese can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. Even such an army cannot be defeated and has been defeated again and again, which shows how bad the combat power of the Ekima people is.
As for why this is the case, Marin thought about it and felt that this might have a lot to do with traditional habits. The Hokkaido people were good at making canoes and fishing. Strictly speaking, fishing activities were more than hunting.
The fishing and hunting people in the Northeast region say they make a living by fishing and hunting, but because the water surface is frozen half of the year, most of the time they are actually hunting.
When hunting, you will naturally often use bows and arrows to hunt animals. If you are not lucky, you will also encounter Siberian tigers and blind bears. If you want to survive, you can only fight to the death.
Therefore, the fishing and hunting nations in the Northeast naturally have to be much more brave and brave. After all, they are all forced out. The Hokkaido where the Hokkaido is located is close to the Hokkaido fishing ground, with extremely rich fishery resources. There is no need to fight with tiger bears in the deep mountains and forests, so they naturally have not developed strong combat power.
In addition, because of its proximity to Mongolia, the fishing and hunting nations in the Northeast are not only powerful in archery, but also able to fight on horseback. They are also sharpshooters and horseback fighting on horseback. The fishing and hunting nations in the Northeast are naturally much stronger than the Eagle people.
However, Malin likes the characteristics of the Hokkaido people being good at fishing. Because this can provide a lot of food...
If the backward canoe fishing method of the Hokkien people is abandoned and replaced with the large fishing grounds and trawls in the Beihai Kingdom, the fishing catches that can be provided will be greatly improved.
Therefore, while allowing barbarian warriors from the northeast to capture the island of Xiayi, Marin planned to capture thousands of Essay fishermen to take to Newfoundland Island and let them use large fishing boats to help them catch fish in Newfoundland fishing grounds. In this way, thousands of fishermen's labor can be saved and then used for maritime transportation and naval warfare...
The North Sea Kingdom is still short of human resources. For example, in the Newfoundland Fishery, Marin arranged thousands of English and Germans to act as fishermen to fish there and provide enough salted fish for the colonies and the local area.
If you can get thousands of Hokkien fishermen and help use large fishing boats and trawls to fish, you will definitely be able to greatly increase the fishing yield and support more people.
Moreover, Marin is now asking people to seize the time to study the whaling cannon triggered by gunpowder, which is specifically used for whaling. Once the whaling cannon is developed successfully and combined with the large whaling ship, the Beihai Kingdom will not lack meat in the future. After all, as long as a whale is caught, the amount of meat obtained will be amazing.
In addition, whaling cannons can also be used to deal with whales that are fast swimming and cannot be dealt with in the traditional whaling industry. The original traditional whaling can only deal with a small number of breeds with slow swimming speeds. In this way, the range of whaling can also be expanded.
Large whaling ships can cut and extract whale oil on the spot after using whaling cannons to kill whales. In addition, whale meat can be divided and marinated and preserved on the spot. However, if it is traditional whaling, there is often not enough space to load whale oil and whale meat obtained after whaling. Even whale oil needs to be docked before refining. However, because whale oil is not refined in time, whale oil often deteriorates and emits a odor...
In addition, traditional whaling is mostly used in small boats or even small boats, and often they cannot take away too much after hunting whales. After hunting a whale, most of the whales will be discarded, which is very wasteful.
Therefore, Marin planned to promote modern whaling, using multiple large ships to cooperate with whaling cannons to carry out modern whaling. Because the ship is large and the whaling cannons are powerful, it can quickly kill high-speed whales, so the benefits of whaling will be great.
Once a whale is hunted, the sailors on the whale can cut the fat in the whale's body on the spot and refine the whale oil. Then, cut the whale meat, marinate and store the whale meat on the spot with the salt carried on the boat.
In this way, most of the huge whales will not be wasted after being hunted. And residents on land can also taste a lot of whale meat to supplement enough nutrition...
...
In fact, the Ainu people are a nation that is good at whaling. Marin saw related reports in his previous life, saying that the Ainu people learned to use collecting toxic plants to extract toxins very early, and then apply them to whales to kill whales.
It is said that the plant toxin extracted and produced by the Ainu people has a strong paralysis effect on fish and can accelerate the process of whales losing resistance. Moreover, the meat of whales that have been knocked down by this plant toxin has negligible impact on humans, and everyone still eats whale meat...
