"Wenyuan, when are we going south?"
On the way back to Liuqiu Fort, Li Chao and Zhang Zhongjian walked side by side, and the bearded guest asked Li Chao.
"A little while."
Li Chao said with a smile, it will be May in a few moments.
In May, there is a plum wind, and Jianghuai thinks it is a trade wind.
In previous years, the southeast trade winds from May onwards were the time for merchant ships to go south.
In many ports, southbound ships often wait for more than half a year for the trade winds to rise.
But nowadays, there is no need to wait so hard for the trade winds, and the Tang ships with the technology of the eight-sided wind, as long as there is wind, can sail at any time.
It's just that if you ride the trade wind, it will be faster.
From May to September, it is the southeast trade wind, through which it can reach the West Barbarian Sea and Vietnam, as well as the Tianzhu Sea and the Persian Gulf.
"The rainy season in Jiaozhou has arrived."
Zhang Zhongjian reminded Li Chao.
Jiaozhou is the dry season from October to March, and the climate is dry and foggy.
Among them, the dry season is also divided into a hot season and a cool season, with October to January being the cool season and February to March being the hot season.
From April to September, it is the rainy season, and it often rains, and most of them are heavy rain and torrential rain, and the temperature is high and the temperature is also high.
Generally speaking, from the Central Plains to Quang Nam, the most suitable season is the cool season, the three months from October to January are the best seasons in Quang Nam, with moderate temperature, sunny and sunny skies.
It's April now, the southeast monsoon is up, and the rainy season in Jiaozhou has just begun.
Zhang Zhongjian glanced at Li Chao a few times, and always felt that Li Chao's actions were very mysterious, and he couldn't figure out the deep meaning of his actions.
For example, he made a mutual market in Liuqiu, built a school, and also gave a lecture on Sundays and a school district council, and let his feudal country not be defeated first, but he tossed these things all day long on this acre and three points of land.
There must be any deep meaning, but Zhang Zhongjian just can't understand where this deep meaning is.
Li Chao is indeed not in a hurry to go south.
The country of Yue is there, and it is still occupied by the Zhenla people, and the land will not fly.
There is not much difference between Li Chao going south early and going south later.
And during this time, Li Chao was not delayed in vain.
While he was doing these things that many people couldn't understand on this Ryukyu Island, his shadow was collecting the mountains and rivers of the Yue Kingdom, as well as the local people and the army of the Zhenla Kingdom.
Even the specific grain and grass conditions in Jiaozhou and surrounding places are also being collected.
At the same time, Li Chao's 5,000 soldiers and horses are not idle every day.
They trained in the mountains and forests of Liuqiu every day, with Liuqiu Shanyi as guides, and hunters invited from Jiaozhou and other places as consultants, 5,000 soldiers and horses, crawling and rolling in the jungle every day, just to adapt to the climate and geography of the south.
At the same time, it also allows these soldiers to sharpen and fight more elite.
"In a few days, the leaders of the Shanyi tribes will come to the rally, and I heard that Wen Yuan plans to form a council with them," Zhang Zhongjian asked again.
"Not all Shanyi tribal leaders will come, about ninety percent of the leaders will come.
Now we have contact with more than 300 tribes in the central and southern parts of the western part of Liuqiu, and about 40 tribal leaders will not come, and about 300 more tribal leaders will come. ” In the middle of the island, there is a large mountain range that runs north-south, dividing the island into east and west.
It is mountainous in the east and plains in the west, especially in the southwest.
And because the west is separated from the mainland by the sea, the southwest is naturally more important.
"Those dozens of tribes are going to be hostile to us" "Don't worry about hostility, after all, they're only a minority."
Li Chao knew that an opposition coalition was being formed, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Those people were already scattered, and it was not so easy to build an alliance.
Moreover, nearly ninety percent of the tribes in the southwest are still willing to maintain friendly relations with them.
"This council is the same as the current school district council" "How to put it, of course, our long-term goal is to include these Shanyi as the people of the imperial court.
But this is a long-term goal, we want them to become the people of the Tang Dynasty from the beginning, and they will not be willing.
If you think about it, they have lived here for generations, and each tribe has its own fixed mountain forest hunting ground, and if any tribe dares to cross the border, it will definitely fight for revenge. ” "If we say a word now, we want them to be our people of the Tang Dynasty, and let them make the territory that has been passed down from generation to generation into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, do you think they will agree.
In the future, they will have to pay taxes to the imperial court, which they will definitely not accept. ” On the other hand, the expansion of territory is inevitably the conquest of the indigenous people.
No one wants to be easily conquered by others, there will definitely be resistance.
If Liuqiu Island was not the fief of the Li family, Li Chao would not mind using more direct means to directly start a war and conquer it.
But since this is the territory of the Li family, Li Chao doesn't want to come like that.

"Let's form an alliance first, and we will trade with each other and get along with each other.
The head of each tribe is a member of parliament and represents his tribe.
If you have a problem, you can negotiate it in the parliament to resolve it. ” Zhang Zhongjian smiled.
The coalition council sounded like there was one seat for each tribe, and even more for the Shanyi.
But he believes that Li Chao must have made this parliament in order to gain the leading power.
The council is actually just a tool that Li Chao uses to control Liuqiu and control the tribes.
It may sound a bit difficult, but he believes that Li Chao will definitely be able to do it.
"The Council of the Tribal Alliance is to safeguard the common interests of the entire alliance, and whoever infringes on the interests of the alliance, then the alliance will attack it and crusade together."
Zhang Zhongjian gave a thumbs up, "King Yue's trick is clever, and I admire it so much." ” For this tribal gathering, Li Chao has been preparing for a long time.
He had been preparing for more than a month, and a month earlier he had sent messengers to visit the tribes to invite them, to give them gifts, to describe the importance of the assembly, to propose the formation of alliances, and so on.
It is true that many tribal leaders have expressed their willingness to come, but there are already about 40 or so tribal leaders who are reluctant to come.
Most of these tribes are because the city of Ryuqiu encroaches on their interests, or because they covet the wealth of the city.
As the council of the Liuqiu tribal alliance was about to be formed, an anti-Tang alliance was slowly forming.
The fourth year of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan, the first day of the fifth month.
Li Chao's 5,000 subordinates were also transferred back from the mountains, and even the 900 escorts stationed at Liuqiu Fort were canceled today.
The militia of the various tunzhuang also assembled today.
The Yuewang guards wearing red military robes, the Liuqiu Li family guards wearing blue clothes, and the Liuqiu militia wearing blue clothes.
The port of Ryuqiu, the fort of Ryuqiu, the city of Ryuqiu, and the roads were full of guards and militiamen who were standing guard and guarding.
The location of the meeting is in the outer city of Ryuqiu City.
The outer city is still under construction, but the outer city walls and moats have already been built first.
The tall outer city gatehouse towers.
Li Chao stood in the city tower in a python robe, watching the tribal teams arrive one after another.
These leaders are still very faithful and come as promised.
Each tribal leader came with many young tribesmen, not so much for the alliance as for a big deal.
Bringing all kinds of commercial goods from the tribe to come, and even bringing a lot of women and children, the team is huge, and it is really a big gathering.
However, when they saw that there were soldiers everywhere inside and outside the city today, they were still a little surprised, and some small tribes were even a little uneasy.
There are more than 300 tribes, covering the central and southern regions of the western part of the island, with a population of more than 100,000.
There are more than 300 tribes and a total of more than 10 alliances.
Whenever they arrived at a tribe, an interpreter immediately shouted loudly, and then a Tang person raised a flag to them.
The flags will have the names of their tribes written on them, and there will even be some of their traditional totems, etc.
They were led into the city, and the chiefs were invited to the meeting, and the warriors were placed aside, and the women and children were led directly to the market.
By the time it was almost noon, there were more than 370 tribes, and there were 331 tribes.
"King Yue, everyone who should have come has come, and those who haven't arrived are the forty-four on our blacklist."
Li Chao nodded, and sure enough, he still didn't come.
"Let's go, let's meet with the tribal leaders, these will be our friends from now on."
When Li Chao and Zhang Zhongjian arrived at the venue, Fan Lubing and Ke Shan were already maintaining.
More than 300 tribal leaders, said to be tribal leaders, are actually more than 300 village heads.
Many villages are still related by blood, and they are considered to be in the same alliance.
Therefore, more than 300 village chiefs, divided into more than a dozen piles, everyone got together, greeted each other, and even took this opportunity to talk about which girls and boys in their respective villages have reached the age of marriage, which guys have been tattooed after hunting people's heads, and which girls have learned the weaving technique to tattoo their faces, and asked each other if there is a suitable wave of marriage.
Hundreds of people, chattering, and bustling.
"The opening of the Tang Empire is the same as the three divisions, the Shangzhu State, the Taishi, the southwest condolences and pacification and disposal ambassadors, and the king of Yue" Wang Xuance stood at the door, opened his throat and shouted.
When he finished shouting, an interpreter next to him began to repeat loudly in Yi, and he repeated it several times, because there are several languages in the 300 or so villages here.
The room fell silent.
"Friends, welcome to come," Li Chao stepped forward with a smile and opened his hands to everyone in a hug.
The reaction of the leaders below was mediocre.

Li Chao didn't care, waved his hand, and someone gave many gifts.
Each leader gave a Tang knife, a few pieces of fine silk, and a few sets of gorgeous porcelain.
This gift was nothing for Li Chao, but it made those leaders smile one by one.
Such a generous Tang people, they like.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are destined to be together, and that is fate.
I propose that we form an alliance together, so that in the future we can live in peace, and we will earn money together and make money together."
The simple words made the Shanyi very satisfied, they couldn't understand it if they said it too deeply, but they were really satisfied with the current relationship with the Tang people.
"Alliance," Li Chao shouted.
A group of Shanyi leaders who took the gifts also shouted happily, "Form an alliance" "Okay, today we will form an alliance here, and in the future, we will attack and defend the alliance, help each other, and support each other in case of family difficulties.
Whoever dares to offend one of the alliance, the alliance will crusade together" Li Chao smiled and raised his glass, "After this glass of wine, everyone will be members of the alliance" t1706231537:
