Chapter 532: Yizhou


I don't know who said that only the conquest of the sea can unlock true hegemony.

More than 70 percent of the earth is made up of sea, and less than 30 percent of the land is land.

The sea divides the land route into six major continents, with islands as many as the stars.

The largest island is only a little smaller than the mainland, and the island has the world's largest iron ore reserves, and it is not far from the East Asian continent, which later generations called Australia.

The closest island to the East Asian continent is a smaller island rich in copper, but the Philippines is not the largest copper deposit in Asia, the largest copper deposit is in the Indonesian archipelago.

Asia is the largest of the seven continents, and the archipelago in the ocean is not small, except for the land of the continental plate.

The relative essence of Asia, such as some of its precious resources, is actually mostly located in the archipelago.

If he wants to conquer the World Island, Liu Yan's next step is to enter the ocean and obtain the resources on the various large islands after fully recovering the old land of the Han family, which will be a correct start.

"This strait is the middle ground between the land of Yangzhou and the bay of Yizhou Tai 1."

Fu Wei pointed to the distance and said to Yu Fangzhi: "That is Yizhou." ” Yu Fangzhi is the eldest son of Yu Yi, and he is responsible for leading the Yu clan to invade Linyi this time.

The number of ships that the Yu clan got from the Han State was not too many, and only forty-six were suitable for sea navigation, the largest of which could carry more than 300 people, and the smallest was only 58 people.

"Yizhou" Yu Fangzhi seemed to be a little short-sighted, he squinted his eyes for a long time, but saw a very vague horizon: "It is Yizhou that Sun Wu sent troops to invade."

It is difficult to find out exactly when Yizhou was discovered by the Central Plains Dynasty.

During the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan heard that there were tens of thousands of families in Yizhou, and the captives could replenish the people and expand the number of soldiers.

Therefore, in the spring of 230 in the second year of Huanglong, Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to "float to the sea to seek Yizhou and Lanzhou".

For details of the records of Yizhou, see the Biography of Wu Zhi and Sun Quan in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms.

At that time, Sun Quan's army was stationed in Yizhou for a year, and then returned to the mainland because the sergeants were not adapted.

For details, please refer to the Coastal Soil History.

This is the earliest record of the rule and garrison of the Central Plains Dynasty in the history of Yizhou.

The Han State also had a garrison above Yizhou, which was regarded as an appendage of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that went south to destroy it.

At that time, the Han fleet continued to harass the coast of Yangzhou, and Yizhou was one of the transit places, and several other islands, such as Jinyimen, Mayizu, and Pengyihu, also had construction ports.

"It's Yizhou that Sun Wu once sent troops to occupy."

Fu Wei was the commander of the Han army's invasion of the Southwest Peninsula this time, so he naturally wanted to know the details: "There are indeed many people in Yizhou, everyone has a beard, men have ears pierced, women do not have ears, and various tribes have tattoo customs. ” There are also some things that Fu Wei did not say, the aborigines above Yizhou are not docile, and each tribe has a fixed headhunting activity every year, hunting and killing each other, and cutting off the most heads to show martial bravery and show off.

After the Han army landed in Yizhou, it encountered many aborigines, only a few of them were mild, and most of them attacked without any communication, forcing the landed Han army to clean up, but it only opened up a safe area near the harbor, and did not go deep into the hinterland of the island and some mountains and dense forests.

"It is very similar to the living customs of Zhuyue and Zhuman."

Yu Fangzhi grew up in the south and is no stranger to Zhuyue and Zhuman: "Zhuyue and Zhuman are not civilized and difficult to communicate. ” As the Han army advanced southward, the more it fought with Zhu Yue and Zhu Man, Zhu Yue and Zhu Barbarian may not be good at war, but they are difficult to entangle in the mountains and forests, the Han army encountered the trouble of the Qin Empire's southern invasion, and was not afraid of Zhu Yue or Zhu Barbarian head-on battle, depressed Zhu Yue and Zhu Barbarian roaming and sneak attack.

"We'll land in Yizhou."

Fu Wei smiled and asked, "Are you interested in seeing what the people of Yizhou are like?"

Yu Fangzhi shook his head directly, he was not like the northerners who were completely unfamiliar with Zhuyue or Zhuman, and it was better to study the climate and environment of the Southwest Peninsula if he had that kung fu.

At present, the garrison of the Han army in Yizhou is less than 3,000 people, and it is divided into six places to garrison, and in addition to the ports of the three islands, the other three are several natural harbors on the main island of Yizhou.

This time, Fu Wei led his army to invade the Southwest Peninsula, and the secondary task was to leave 5,000 men in Yizhou.

The garrisons of Yizhou and the affiliated islands, they will gradually open up to the hinterland of Yizhou, and clean up this area close to the mainland to the greatest extent.

Around the afternoon, a fleet of more than 1,000 ships approached the northern land of Yizhou, and when you look at Yizhou from the sea, you can see a pristine landscape, mostly maintaining the scenery of primeval forests, resulting in the port area that has been carved out is very conspicuous.

"This area was named Tai 1 South by the king."

Fu Wei had just stepped on the land with his feet, and the six-day voyage left him with the illusion of shaking even when he stood on land: "This port was built on a natural bay, which can anchor more than 1,500 large ships, and can provide 200 ships to dock at a time. ” Yu Fangzhi's situation was similar to Fu Wei's, but his body was a little unstable when his feet stepped on the land.

He had just seen the vastness of the harbor on the ship, and the corresponding desolation was too few traces of artificiality, and there seemed to be few houses that could live in it.

"There will be no shortage of houses in the general's school, so the soldiers who have landed on the shore have to set up tents."

Fu Wei stopped as he spoke, stood and waited for the port master to approach, and after saluting each other, he asked, "Have you received the central paper?"

The chief officer's name was Huang Ai, and he replied "Naturally", looked at the fleet that was about to cover the bay, and asked, "Will the five thousand soldiers land immediately, or?"

"It must be landed immediately, and the ship has to turn back to Yangzhou to transport the soldiers again."

Fu Wei patted his thigh, and said politely: "If the resting place is ready, please send someone to guide the way." ” Huang Ai immediately smiled and said: "This is how it has just come ashore on a long-distance voyage. ” Fu Wei gave a roll of his eyes, if he didn't care about the image, he would want to squat.

The fleet will rest in Yizhou for two days, not that most people are worried that they can't stand it, and the Han army that is preparing to invade the southwest peninsula is not a pure navy to put it bluntly, and many people can only swim and can't stand the turbulence of the sea for too long.

The real situation is that even the soldiers of the inland river army will not be much better off when they serve at sea, all because although inland navigation and sea navigation are both on the water, they are actually two different concepts.

"Is the garrison a soldier of the Central Plains, or a soldier of the south" Huang Ai personally led the way, and it was indispensable to talk more on the way: "The soldiers of the Central Plains are not very suitable for the climate of the south, and the phenomenon of not adapting to the water and soil is a serious test. ” Didn't the Han State destroy the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the killing and wounding of the Jin army in several major battles was relatively serious, and the rest were mostly prisoners.

After the surrender of Jiankang's imperial court, the sailors of the regular Jin army surrendered completely, and the decision of the center was to incorporate the sailors of the Jin army, which would be used in the invasion of the southwest peninsula.

"It's very serious to adapt to the soil and water," Fu Wei said in surprise: "Haven't you already worked your diet?"

"It's okay to accept it for the time being, but I'm afraid that it will take a long time" Huang Ai kept smiling bitterly: "Diet is useful, but the climate and homesickness can not be changed by diet alone." ” Or climatic and environmental reasons.

For example, people in the Central Plains have lived in the north where the air is relatively dry for a long time, and after coming to the south, they are not adapted to the humid air.

Furthermore, the ecological environment of each place is different, just like earthlings go to the Zenith, even if there is air to breathe, but there is no resistance to some bacteria that have not adapted to the body's functions.

Thinking is a big problem, nostalgia and longing who will give a great burden to the cranial nerves, there is nothing in the short time, and the body is not sick for a long time, but it will also be sick under the constant hint of the mentality.

"Those soldiers are still being reorganized."

Fu Wei was really a little worried by Huang Ai's words: "Your side will report the relevant situation to the center as soon as possible."

If Jie Shiwei is still in Yizhou, it will be signed together. ” Yu Fangzhi rolled his eyes when he heard this, the people of the Central Plains will not adapt to the soil and water, won't the people in the south still say that the veteran non-combat losses of the Han army need to be eliminated, and the non-combat losses of the soldiers can be ignored Huang Ai walked into the house very directly, and it was not difficult for him to write and ink early when he was familiar with the layout: "Immediately, Ai will write immediately." ” The houses built by the Yizhou garrison were not the same as those in the Central Plains, with no adobe walls, structurally either wood or bamboo, and the houses would rise to leave a gap isolated from the ground.

Since there was no threat from the sea, the Yizhou garrison did not set up too many fortifications along the coastline, but only built the necessary lookouts.

The main threat to the Yizhou garrison was in the hinterland, and the aborigines were so elusive that the garrison had to clear the vegetation around the garrison, build a fence wall, and set up sentry posts along the line.

"There's no way to be like back home, where there are too many snakes, ants, and insects."

Huang Ai said why the first layer should be separated from the ground: "We can't learn from those natives who live on the top of trees or caves, and it is a very correct decision to learn from the Zhuyue and Zhubarians on the mainland to build houses." ” Fu Wei said that he felt weird and a little impressed, and when Huang Ai prompted him, he remembered that the barbarians in Lingnan didn't all build houses like this "It's just snakes and insects here, and there's a dragon on that side of Jiangzhou."

The dragon that Yu Fangzhi said is not a real dragon, it is some small crocodiles in southern China, such as the Chinese alligator in the three evils of the periphery.

Curious, he asked, "Why didn't you sprinkle lime or sulfur around the house?"

"Experience, experience" Huang Ai looked bitter: "It's not that I'm not familiar with the south, I'm even less familiar with Yizhou, I have already sent a fleet back to the mainland to get lime and go to the Japanese Islands to collect sulfur." ” Lime anti-snake and ants are no strangers to the Chinese Miao descendants, and the corresponding effect of sulfur is only known after communicating with the Japanese islands.

"The Japanese Islands" Yu Fangzhi was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Indeed, there is a large amount of sulfur on the Japanese Islands. ” There is nothing to make a fuss about, the Wajima is a volcanic area, not only the gold and silver reserves are amazing, but there is really no shortage of sulfur because of the presence of Iwo Jima.

The peak period of the Central Plains Dynasty's trade in raw materials with the Japanese Islands was in the Song Dynasty, when the Great Song Dynasty relied on imports of gunpowder from the Japanese Dynasty.

"It's not just sulfur, people can get it from the Japanese Islands."

Fu Wei was already lying on the wooden floor, and said casually: "Those half-civilized dwarfs are very flexible in the mountains and forests when they are used to deal with completely uncivilized barbarians." ” Huang Ai was completely stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he patted his thigh excitedly: "Why didn't I think of it?"

The countries of the Wa Archipelago are now all vassal states of the Han State, and they all obey the call of the suzerain, and several countries have contributed nearly 70,000 troops to fight against Murong Xianbei on the battlefield of Goguryeo in Liaodong.

If you want to say what is the biggest impression of the people on the Han side of the Japanese Islands, the first impression is that the dwarf is dwarf, the second is that it is extremely obedient, and then I am afraid that it is the flexibility of the mountains and forests.

"It's completely possible to ask for the servant army to come over" Huang Ai felt that this idea was simply too good: "The servant army doesn't feel distressed how many times it dies" Yu Fangzhi was a little dumbfounded at first, he had the impression that the small imperial court of the Middle East Jin Dynasty treated the vassal state as if it were serving its ancestors, why did the Han State not take the vassal state seriously at all, and even tried every means to carry out all kinds of abuse In fact, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have a real vassal state, but anyone who went to worship in the name of which country was really cherished.

This will be the last face of the Celestial Empire.

"Well, that's right" Fu Wei continued to say casually: "If you lead an army to conquer Funan, you should also go to the table and let the center get some servant troops over." ” Yu Fangzhi suddenly found that as a vassal state of the Han State, it was really a blood mold that had been poured for eight lifetimes, not to mention a general at the level of a captain, and a dignified Lang general also had that mentality, so it can be seen that the upper and lower levels of the Han State did not take the vassal country seriously, and whenever there was something dangerous, he wanted to pull the people of the vassal country over and fill it with human lives.

Thinking so, Yu Fangzhi was also extremely tempted, after all, it is better to die others than to die his own people, so he asked: "I can wait like this" Huang Ai had already written the official document, urging Fu Wei to sign it quickly, and responded to Yu Fangzhi nonchalantly, saying: "Of course, there is no problem with the dispatch of the military, but the civilian one is not clear." ” That's right, including the Yu clan, the various families who want to participate in the invasion of the Southwest Peninsula are just folk acts.

This time, there are not a few families who follow the Han army fleet to the south, each family has more than a few such as the Yu clan to send thousands of people, and the few is dozens of people who take a free boat to come over to try, which can be regarded as following the footsteps of the pioneers of the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty, and to use two big feet to step out of a new round of spontaneous development history
