The surging waves on the sea were far beyond the imagination of a cadre of people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. On the second day of sailing, some children of aristocratic families vomited so much that they felt like they were going to die.
More than 40 aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River cried and shouted to land on the third day. They hysterically thought that if they didn't land again, they would die at sea.
"We can only lean towards the coastline and send them ashore in a boat."
"Yes, that's the only way."
If the aristocratic family son of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty died on the ship of the Han Army, many things would not be clear during the introduction. The fleet had no choice but to turn a corner and lean towards the coastline of Xuzhou. It was only when it sent those who couldn't stand it ashore that it continued to set out.
Those who landed went on to Qingzhou after cultivation, or turned around and went back to the south of the Yangtze River, which had nothing to do with the fleet. The fleet sailed at sea for nearly five days and arrived at Changguang County of Qingzhou. The landing site is located at the lower reaches of Youshui (Dagu River), that is, the other side of Jiaozhou Bay.
Along the way, the fleet passed by with many ships, which fully enabled people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to see the number of ships at sea in the Han Dynasty. Especially when they arrived at Jiaozhou Bay, the dense ships on the channel made people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty understand that the use of maritime navigation by the Han Dynasty was not a small fight.
"In fact, this is not the most prosperous port." LV Yi was ordered to receive the envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Facing Yu Yi's question, he replied, "the busiest port is Penglai in Dongmou county."
Penglai, of course, is a newly established County, located more than 80 miles northeast of Laishan. Originally, it was used as the boundary of Huang County. Later, Huang County was abandoned, and Penglai county was developed on a large scale because of its geographical location.
The Miaodao islands are only less than 20 miles away from the port of Penglai County, which means that Penglai county is an important port connecting the Miaodao islands. The Miaodao islands also serve as a transit station between the Central Plains and the east of Liao 1. How can there be fewer ships?
On the land, because of the fatigue of the boat and car, it was naturally impossible to hurry immediately. Everyone, including Yu Yi and sun Chuo, was arranged to rest in the nearby Jiji city.
Sun Chuo is the Deputy envoy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He is very interesting. He has written articles three times when sailing on the sea to describe the danger and vastness of the sea, but there are always some mysterious and strange things in his poems, such as guessing whether there is Kunpeng or whether there is a fairy Island on the sea.
Since the ancient pre-Qin period, people in the Central Plains have been speculating. For example, there is an island outside the East China Sea called Penglai, Penglai has a fairy mountain called Xiange, and there are immortals on the Xiange, which can refine the elixir of immortality.
Great as the first emperor Ying Zheng, he sent ships to sea many times to look for Penglai Fairy Island and wanted to ask the immortal for the elixir of immortality. The magicians sent back many times said they had seen the immortal, but it took time for the immortal to refine the elixir of immortality. As a result, the fleet sent by the first emperor was larger and larger, and the largest one was Xu Fu who directly disappeared with the fleet.
In the following years, more than one emperor followed the footsteps of the first emperor and sent ships out of the East China Sea. However, many islands were found. However, none of them had fairy mountains, nor did they find the so-called fairy pavilion or immortal, nor even savages.
"There are many overseas islands. We have explored the East China Sea and found at least dozens of islands, but we have never seen buildings. Some are just deserted." Lu Yi's truth is very cruel: "many islands are not only desolate, but many islands even have no place to stand. They mainly focus on sharp reefs and sharp shells. When they step on the sole of their shoes, they are pierced and can't find a young seedling."
There are still many shady islands, but they are really deserted, not even a few big trees. It is the strong wind of the offshore islands, and there will be natural forces such as hurricanes and typhoons from time to time. It is impossible for trees to grow and become big trees without wind disasters for several years.
"If Xu Fu took people to escape, he should have gone to Fusang Japanese Islands?" LV Yi hesitated and said, "most of the Japanese are short, dressed strangely, and even don't wear a shame cloth. There is really no sign of the spread of the culture of the Central Plains."
Now on the Japanese islands, the form of clothing is relatively close to that of Fuyu people and Quwo people. We really can't see many elements of the Central Plains.
"As we know, the yeomatai state, which had contact with the Central Plains, has been forced to migrate eastward. Instead of the yemaatai state, a group of 'imported people' headed by Fuyu people." The state of Xie Ma Tai mentioned by LV Yi is the matriarchal tribal alliance that paid tribute to the emperor of the Central Plains for the first time. He said, "as for what happened after the East migration of the yematai people, I don't know much."
Winter is approaching, and Changguang county is preparing for matters related to snow.
LV Yi didn't take Yu Yi and others everywhere. In fact, there was no beautiful scenery, but he didn't know how to walk to the construction site.
The construction of Yingling hall and Yanhuang temple has lasted for nearly three years. Even when Liu Yan led people to withdraw from the Central Plains, it did not stop, but the scale was slightly reduced.
Yingling hall covers a large area of about 30 hectares, which is divided into construction area and tomb area. The construction of the palace complex is progressing slowly, and only the outline has been built so far. The main hall is relatively large, covering an area of about 50 mu. It is also the most perfect area of the whole building complex. It should be able to be capped next year. The remaining side halls are numerous and carefully divided, such as the area dedicated to officers in the future, and some civilians who do not make special contributions to the army.
"Is this...?" Yu Yi saw rows of things from a distance. He couldn't see them clearly from a distance: "are those?"
"Tombstone." LV Yesu said in a voice, "follow you to fight on the battlefield and the tombstone of the soldiers who died in the war."
Looking from a distance, there are dense tombstones arranged neatly. If you can see rows of tombstones on the green grass in other seasons, the scenery is desolate. At the same time, if you are heartless, the scenery is very good and there is no gloomy feeling.
Yu Yi frowned. He just thought that the large-scale construction was building palaces. In fact, it was really palaces, but it was for the dead soldiers, not for Liu Yan to enjoy.
Since ancient times, the soldiers of Chinese civilization have fought in the battlefield. They talk about burying at the side of the road. Only a very few generals and schools will be specially buried. More importantly, they have become the meat in the mouth of wild animals or become a corpse that no one cares about. No one will spend any effort on settling the dead soldiers.
Yu Yi actually wanted to ask, "is it necessary?" And so on, but he couldn't open his mouth. What's more, he felt that his chest was blocked. At least he was a man with feelings and compassion for soldiers. Sun Chuo looked around with curiosity.
Sun Chuo was very interested in what he saw and heard. He thought he would come to a place as if it were wild. It would be a desolate and barbaric society everywhere, but what he saw after his arrival was not like that.
Changguang county is not desolate because of the population migrating from everywhere. It should be said that it is still full of human flavor. Because of the surge in population, local construction will naturally become frequent, resulting in busy crowds even near winter.
"This is the hall of heroes?" Yu Yi pointed to the distance and asked, "where is it?"
LV Yi said with a smile, "it's a place to pay homage to our ancestors."
It can't be said that he is building Yanhuang temple, or Yu Yi will definitely leave with the newly arrived Eastern Jin Dynasty embassy. The small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty described itself as zhengshuo and believed that only they were qualified to sacrifice and worship Yanhuang in the whole world, implying the patriarch of the whole Yanhuang Miao people.
In fact, the so-called "great event of the country lies in worship and Rong". A large part of the "worship" in it is worship and belief. There are not only "imperial heaven" and "thick earth" in the belief, but also various ghosts and gods. There is no lack of "Yanhuang", among which "Yanhuang", as well as "imperial heaven" and "thick earth" are the most important.
The emperor is not only the patriarch of an ethnic group, but also holds the power of sacrifice. Only as the patriarch of an ethnic group and the emperor of the country, all citizens will spontaneously obey his orders. This phenomenon is the end when the inheritance is cut off, and when is it cut off? It's really hard to say, at least before the Song Dynasty, the emperor was not only the patriarch of the ethnic group, but also existed.
A month later, the Eastern Jin mission set off again, and a large number of cars were arranged here in the Han Dynasty.
"It's heavy!" Within a month, sun Chuo wrote many poems, mostly describing the scenery. A few wrote about the busy and pursuit of a better life of the Han people, and asked anxiously how long peace could be maintained. He pointed to the huge number of Han troops: "how dare you send such a large army to escort along the way?"
Yu Yi doubts what sun Chuo has done this month. It's true that those Han troops want to go to Xiami. Escorting them is just by the way. No one pierces this. It doesn't matter in the Han ministry. The envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also get vanity, but if you want to be serious, there is a problem with Eq.
The number of new Han troops from Changguang county to Xiami is 18000, all of which are recruited by the rear. Of course, there is no lack of mobilization of military settlements around the country.
It's not a good choice to dispatch troops in winter, but it's absolutely impossible not to dispatch troops. There will be a big war in the spring next year. It's really not easy to judge the scale. The only thing that can be confirmed is that it will be very large!
Shi Hu has been angry more than once. Zhao Guo in Shijie is in a violent state. At present, it seems that Shi Hu plans to solve ran min, a traitor who seems to hate very much, but the Han ministry should definitely make its own preparations, either meet the war or attack at the necessary time.
It is not false to say that Shi Hu hates ran min. people all over the world know this. What is in front of Liu Yan? We can't just look at what is going to happen and how much we should do in it.
