The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 Hagrid and Ulav were able to go to Wenlan seven and a half years ago because they were guided by Olaf's ancestral spirit possession and manifestation.

In addition, seven years ago, he quickly gained a foothold and relied on Olaf’s guidance to recruit white slaves near Scotland. It was a large population that made it through the siege of Indians and Ekismos, and finally took a place. .

　　 Hearing about the changes in the family from Hudik, I also understand that it was Olaf that allowed the family to escape from the dead in this accident, and the two admired Olaf even more.

Ulav thought for a while, and whispered: "Uncle! I think we still want to find my father and Olaf. We need to work together to develop better. Only with a larger population can we rule Vinland. And I think Olaf will help us. With better development, the Sakya of the'Hroot family' may have a vague attitude. This may be beneficial to our family ruling Iceland and people from Scotland, Ireland, and England!"

　　 Hagrid's martial arts and power are better than Ulav, but his mind is not as sharp as the old nephew. He frowned and nodded after thinking about it, "Okay. Let's go to Hadar right now!"

Ulav nodded and said with a smile: "The entire transfer corner and the nearby 2,000-plus Verget (three square kilometers) land are our territory, and there is no powerful savage tribe on the entire Niutou Peninsula. We are already the strongest. A big existence, if it weren’t for the population to occupy too much of a place, it would have ruled the peninsula long ago. Now my father and them are here, we are going to see him, ask them to come too, and our family will re-establish Herut in Wenlan. The family manor, is it possible to build a country in the future?!"

Ulav is a young man with broad insights and ambitions corresponding to his insights. He has always wanted to recruit white slaves from Ireland, Scotland and other places, and then use it as a basic force to support his manor to expand the area and strength. , Slowly increasing the number of enslaved native savages, and finally completely occupied Wenlan, becoming the leader of Wenlan rule and the establishment of a nation.

　　 Hagrid also knew that his nephew had this idea, and he slowly became a little tempted. After all, the Vikings were one of the earliest colonists in the world. Without the colonial rule of the Vikings, Britain would not have been born.

　　As a descendant of the Vikings, Hagrid also felt that he could try to occupy and develop Wenlan, and then become the leader of a country.

　　 After three days in Hagrid and Ulav banqueting Hudik for a drinking banquet, he took Hudike around his manor.

Hudik discovered that there were only more than 200 whites in Hagerburg, and most of them were young and mature men, with fewer than 20 women, and they were all members of the white slave family. These whites were indentured slaves to Hagrid and Ulav. , To plant and assist in the defense of Hagrid Manor, and only after seven or eight years will he get land and become a free citizen in the manor.

　　 These people are Irish, but most of them are Scots. They live in Hagerburg and are afraid and respectful of Hagrid and Ulav and their soldiers.

　　 There is also a camp outside Hagerburg. It is a large cave dug against the hillside. Nearly 200 Indians and more than 20 Akismo live in the cave.

　　 These are all slaves of Hagerburg, working for the production and life of Hagerburg, such as mining stone, digging ditches, and planting food. They are guarded by four Irish white slave guards and four Scottish white slave guards.

　　 Every morning, eight guards urged the men among the more than 200 slaves to come out to work, while the children, women, and the elderly were still detained in the cave. This was to prevent the indigenous slaves from escaping.

　　 Hagrid stipulated that if a slave escaped, all the slaves in the adjacent grottoes would be executed.

In the early years, Hagrid did kill some people after severely torturing, so these scared slaves chose to endure for the sake of their families. Basically, in recent years, apart from the death caused by disease, the indigenous slaves had some influence. It has made great contributions to the planting and breeding industry of Hagerburg. If it were not for slaves who kept logging, plowing, and picking, it would be impossible to support the material needs of a bastion base by relying on more than 200 white slaves.

　　 Hudik looked at Hagrid's territory and the management mode of the indigenous slaves and felt that he had benefited a lot. He nodded and praised Hagrid for being an excellent colonizer. Perhaps Hadar and him would both learn from Hagrid.

Hagrid smiled and said that if it weren’t for the white slaves who had used their lives to find out the experience of capturing and managing indigenous slaves, they might have died in Wenlan a few years ago, so now the main job of Hegerberg is to send ships every year. Once Ireland and Scotland, then brought back some white slaves to join Hagerburg.

Hudik stayed in Hagerburg for five days, and returned to the Thor's Hammer on the sixth day. Hagrid and Ulav also took seven or eight people out of a large water bay on the west side to pull out a Bethlehem's Hammer. A ship that's a big lap.

Then the two ships went down the river one after the other, leaving the river named "Musk Ox River" and entering the sea. Taking advantage of the period when the northwest wind has turned small in the past few days, they moved slowly along the coastline towards the northeast. go with.

　　 Hagrid and Ulav’s ship is called "Hope". It was originally the wealth accumulated by the grandfathers of Hadar and Hagrid for several generations. It is a new type of brig mixed sailing ship that is a circle larger than Thor's Hammer.

　　 Ships in the great nautical era were still completely affected by wind. It can be said that sails were the lifeblood of sea ships before the emergence of steam ships.

　　 When the wind does not help, maybe it can't get out of a nautical mile in an hour.

　　 The current "Thorhammer" and "Hope" were caught in the leeward direction of the tortoise's speed. After a day, the two ships finally reached the north of Vinland Island.

Hagrid and Ulav had turned Wenlan and the surrounding island continents around these years, and also drew a sketch. After Hudik looked at his drawings, he drew the sketch of Wenlan and knew Vinland Island is actually a triangle, but there is a missing piece on the north corner, turning into a coastline of hundreds of miles, and then a strait with a large island on the north side is written to the southeast.

The camp of Hadar and others is on the west side of the strait, and the environment is not worse than Hagrid’s transshipment angle. However, the warm Atlantic wind and the cold current of the Arctic Ocean circulate hundreds of nautical miles on the east side. If you develop a settlement here, set sail. Getting in and out is far less convenient than the transit corner at the intersection of warm currents and cold currents.

Hudik was actually shocked after reading Hagrid’s sketches, because the north and south sides of Vinland Island, which he thought was not much smaller than Iceland, were vast land that was much larger than Iceland, which shows that Vinland really It's just a large island in northern America.

This discovery shocked Hudick. He felt that if he and others occupies the land under the eyes of the Spaniards, it would be dangerous. Spain, which loves to eat alone, has a strong fleet. If he starts to wait for others, he There is no chance to fight back.

Having lived in Vinland for seven and a half years, Hagrid, who has dealt with both English and French businessmen, is very clear about the situation in the Americas. He saw Hudick’s concerns and smiled and advised him not to worry, and explained the Americas. The real situation.

　　 Nowadays, the Obaro people know that America was forbidden by Spain and Portugal as early as a century ago, and it cannot tolerate other countries to intervene to share the benefits.

However, because the Spanish Invincible Fleet failed to conquer England on several occasions more than 20 years ago, England and the Netherlands rose rapidly, and France also took the opportunity to tear apart Spain’s defenses against the Americas. Britain, France and the Netherlands both penetrated into the Americas and extended their share of the pie. big hand.

Even the current Danish King Christian IV has awakened that overseas colonization is a means of power and a necessary means of plundering wealth in the era of great voyages, so he established the Greenland Colonial Company and the East India Company successively, and the West India Company will be established in 45 years. The Indian colonial company, and successively occupied St. Thomas, St. John’s, St. Croix and other places in the Caribbean, and engaged in slave trade and the development of colonial plantations. It was not until 1917 that the United States was awarded 25 million US dollars. I bought three islands for the price~www.wuxiahere.com~ Although the European powers will eventually carve up islands and colonies in the hands of Spain and Portugal, it was the first that the Netherlands began to seize the Brazilian region in 1624. The real countries simultaneously seized a large number of colonies from It only started in 1634.

　　 It is 1627. Whether it is a powerful country or a chaebol company that has been coveted by the West for many years, they are still waiting for the opportunity to cut into the richest Central and South America, which is the so-called Latin America in later generations.

　　 North America currently has only two or three dispensable, self-defeating strongholds established by Britain and France from the early seventeenth century. They were of little use before 1630, and at most they collected some animal skins for His Majesty.

　　In other words, there are no gold and silver mines in North America, and the vast environment is not suitable for planting sugarcane to make sugar. It would be better to develop Central and South America in order to obtain the greatest wealth.

Hagrid appeared in Vinland at this juncture. In the eyes of the French and British colonists who were only concerned about North America, an Icelander who grew grain and grapes and enslaved savages was not harmful, but they were rarely seen in the barbaric land. Good neighbor, so instead of causing hostility and targeting, the armed merchant ships of the two countries bought some hides from Hagrid and sold some food and cloth to Hagrid.

At present, Hagerburg and France established Quebec City on the lower reaches of the St. Lawrence River in the east of Wenlan and the seaside colony of New England established by England four hundred nautical miles south of Wenlan Island. Both maintain occasional trade and provide some treasures for the colonial companies of the two places. The fur of the animal is considered to be in a harmonious relationship.

　　 Hagerburg, Quebec City, and New England were later hailed as the three major colonial bases in North America. They were also called "the three jewels of civilization in the cultural wasteland of North America" ​​by most scholars, opening up the three sources of the spread of civilization in North America.
