"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.

The bitter barbarian that lived in the Cook Islands were usually fishes in summer and autumn, and fish in winter and spring. No one knew that the glacial lake could also fish in winter. Since they did not know how to farm, they had no source of food other than prey. What they ate were prey, and what they wore were prey as well.

Hearing that they were going to fish in glacial lake, Zhang Gu and Liu Zhi's squadrons all surrounded them. They were going to hold out here. Who knew how long they would have to hold out? Not to mention eating fish, even to pass the time, fishing in the glacial lake was pretty fun.

Not long later, the soldiers of Land Warfare Brigade carried the fish net off the ship. In Yang Lin's fleet, there were many transport ships modified by Triple Korea's large-scale fishing ships, there was naturally a need for fish net and tools to catch fish. Following Yang Lin's orders, they even brought down the winch on the boat.

"Come, let's open the ice hole from here." Yang Lin held a ferrimonium and stuck it on the ice a few times, ordering the soldiers to start opening the ice hole. He pointed to both sides and said loudly, "Starting from this ice hole, follow the curve and open up a ice hole every five Zhang until it closes in front of you."

Following Yang Lin's order, the soldiers began to search for their position on the ice, and then began to bore holes in the ice. Perhaps they felt that this was too funny, as the soldiers were digging ice and laughing loudly at the same time. A lively scene appeared in the entire glacial lake.

It was probably because they had felt the excitement of the scene in glacial lake that the sun had come out to join the liveliness. A ray of sunlight shone onto the ice. The thick layer of ice emitted a bright silver light, shining on the young faces of the soldiers.

Zhang Banxian frowned, she could not understand no matter how she thought about it. This was a fish net that fishermen were fishing in the sea. Its circumference was at least seventy to eighty Zhang, and on the frozen lake surface, how could this large net be opened underwater? Can you also use fishing nets?

Once he got through, they would follow a huge arc and cut another ice hole down at a distance of 15 meters. With thousands of people digging at the same time, the scene was very spectacular, but the Zhang Banxian was still unable to understand, if so many small ice hole s were able to throw their huge fishnet into the lake to fish, would that mean that they would be able to catch a fish?

Yang Lin ordered the soldiers to put in two pieces of wood, which were tied to the ends of the fish net s rope. Then, he put the fish net into the water from ice hole at a square opening, and this hole was called the bottom of the net. He had chosen this hole beforehand.

"Lord General, are you prepared to spread the fish net along each of the ice hole's cloth?" Zhang Banxian had been watching from the side the whole time, thinking about how to open up the big net. Seeing all the ice hole gather in a big circle, he finally understood.

"Yes, the fish net will follow these ice hole s."

After Yang Lin commanded the soldiers to put the fish net into the water, he used the bamboo pole to push the wood to the left and right. At the next hole, a soldier reached out his bamboo pole and used a bamboo pole's hook to hang the piece of wood. Then, he pushed the piece of wood towards the next ice hole.

There were fewer and fewer nets around the entrance, most of them already under the ice. At this time, the Zhang Banxian saw through the mirror-like ice beneath her feet that the gigantic fish net had actually already activated and was still slowly moving. Strange, how did the net spread under the ice?

Zhang Banxian walked along the ice hole s one by one until she was in front of the soldiers who were working in the distance. She saw that they were pulling a rope out of the ice hole with a hook. How did this rope come under the ice, and why was it in the ice hole?

Just when the Zhang Banxian was astonished, a soldier brought a bamboo pole to the front of the ice hole. He then twisted the thing into a ice hole and a piece of wood suddenly appeared under the ice. The reason the rope appeared in the ice hole was because the piece of wood was connected to the ice hole one by one and then passed through them. Then, the bamboo pole would be used to control the movement of the wood, allowing it to follow the arc created by the ice hole. Thus, as long as he pulled the rope tied to the rod, he could move the fishing net and stretch it out.

"God, what a brilliant idea!" Zhang Banxian was filled with admiration, her eyes filled with worship: "Lord General, I dare not say that I have read a lot, but I have read quite a few books, I have never heard of such a method of fishing, how did you think of it?"

"Hehe …" I suddenly remember. " Yang Lin was a little embarrassed, he had seen it on TV before, but this was the first time using it, he did not know if it would work or not. In order to avoid being unable to catch any fish and feeling awkward, he smiled and said, "Let me give it a try first. I should be able to catch fish."

After four hours, Yang Lin began to prepare the net. He first took out the ice log from the hole in the net, and then the other rope from the fish net was taken out of the water. After attaching one end to the winch, the fishing net was slowly pulled up by the winch. Although the fish had yet to come out of the water, it had already become the focus of many eyes.

But for such a huge net, just relying on the soldiers' strength was not enough to satisfy the force required for it to move underwater. The Zhang Banxian quickly found the answer. Originally, Yang Lin had the soldiers carry down a winch in the boat, and tied it with a fish net rope. Only under the rotation of the soldiers did the winch produce enough motivation to open the enormous fishing net.
