Chapter 528

I don't know who said that only conquering the sea can open real hegemony.

More than 70% of the earth is sea, and less than 30% of the land. The sea divides the land into six major continents, and there are as many islands as stars.

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

A smaller island nearest to the East Asian continent is rich in copper. However, the Philippines is not the largest copper deposit in Asia. The largest copper deposit is in the Indonesian islands.

Asia is the largest of the seven continents. In addition to the land of the continental plate, the archipelago on the ocean is not small. The best part of Asia, such as some valuable resources, is mostly located in the archipelago.

If he wants to conquer the world island, Liu Yan, after fully recovering the old land of the Han family, will go into the sea and obtain the resources on each big island, which will be a right start.

"This strait is the middle of Yangzhou land and Yizhou (tai1 Bay)." Fu Wei pointed to Yu Fangzhi in the distance and said, "there is Yizhou."

Yu Fangzhi is the eldest son of Yu Yi. He is responsible for commanding the Yu family's invasion of Lin Yi country.

The Yu family did not get too many ships from the state of Han. Only 46 ships were suitable for sea navigation, with a maximum capacity of more than 300 people and a minimum of 58 people.

"Yizhou?" Yu Fangzhi seems to be a little nearsighted? He squinted for a long time, only to see a very vague horizon: "is it Yizhou invaded by Sun Wu?"

It is difficult to study when Yizhou was discovered by the Central Plains Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan heard that there were tens of thousands of families in Yizhou, which could supplement the people's strength and expand the army. Therefore, in the spring of the second year of Huanglong (230), Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead more than 10000 officers and soldiers to "float the sea to seek Yizhou and Chenzhou".

For details on the records of Yizhou, please refer to the annals of the Three Kingdoms, the annals of Wu and the biography of Sun Quan. At that time, Sun Quan's army was stationed in Yizhou for a year, and then returned to the mainland because the sergeant was acclimatized. See coastal water and soil records for details. This is the earliest record of the rule and garrison of the Central Plains Dynasty in the history of Yizhou.

The state of Han also had troops stationed in Yizhou, which was a subsidiary product of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, the Han fleet continued to harass the coast of Yangzhou. Yizhou was one of the transit places. Ports were also built on several other islands, such as jin1men, Mazu and Penghu.

"It is Yizhou that Sun Wu once sent troops to occupy." Fu Wei was the commander of the Han Army's invasion of the southwest peninsula. Naturally, he wanted to know the details: "there are indeed many people in Yizhou. Everyone has their heads down, men wear their ears, women don't wear their ears, and all tribes have the custom of tattooing."

There are others that Fu Wei didn't say. The aborigines in Yizhou are not docile. Each tribe has a fixed headhunting activity every year. They hunt and kill each other to cut off the most heads to show their bravery and show off.

After the Han army landed in Yizhou, it encountered many aborigines, only a few of whom were moderate. Most of them had no communication or attack, forcing the landed Han Army to clean up, but they 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 was no stranger to ZhuYue and Zhuman: "ZhuYue and Zhuman are uncivilized and difficult to communicate."

As the Han army moved southward, the more they fought with ZhuYue and Zhuman, the more they fought. ZhuYue and Zhuman may not be good at fighting, but they were difficult to deal with in the mountains and forests. The Han army encountered the trouble of the southern invasion of the Qin Empire. They were not afraid of the frontal battle between ZhuYue and Zhuman. What depressed them was that ZhuYue and Zhuman traveled and sneaked attacks.

"We'll land in Yizhou." Fu Wei smiled and asked, "are you interested in seeing what Yizhou people look like?"

Yu Fangzhi shook his head directly. Unlike northerners, he was completely unfamiliar with ZhuYue or Zhuman. Moreover, if he had that Kung Fu, he might as well study the climate and environment of the southwest peninsula.

At present, there are only less than 3000 Han troops stationed in Yizhou, which is divided into six places. In addition to the ports of the three islands, the other three are several natural ports on the island of Yizhou.

Fu Wei led his troops to invade the southwest Peninsula this time. His subsidiary task was to leave 5000 people in Yizhou.

The troops stationed in Yizhou and its affiliated islands will gradually expand to the hinterland of Yizhou and clean up the area close to the mainland to the greatest extent. As for whether the aborigines are absorbed, integrated or destroyed, it depends on whether the aborigines deserve it or not.

Probably in the afternoon, more than 1000 fleets were close to the land in the north of Yizhou. Looking at Yizhou from the sea, they saw a primitive style, mostly maintaining the scenery of primitive forests, resulting in the very conspicuous port area opened up.

"This area was named Tainan by the king." Fu Wei's feet had just stepped on the land. The six-day sea voyage left him the illusion of shaking even when he stood on the land: "this port is built on the natural bay, which can anchor more than 1500 large ships and provide 200 ships to dock at a time."

Yu Fangzhi's situation is similar to that of Fu Wei, but his body is a little unstable when his feet step on the land. He had just seen the vastness of the port on board. The corresponding thing was desolation. In short, there were too few artificial traces, and there seemed to be too few houses to live in.

"The general will not lack houses, so the soldiers on the shore have to set up tents." Fu Wei stopped, stood up and waited for the port master to approach. After saluting each other, he asked, "have you received the central document?"

The chief officer called Huang AI. He answered "nature", looked at the fleet that was about to cover the Bay and asked, "do five thousand soldiers land immediately or?"

"It must be landing right away. The ship has to return to Yangzhou to transport soldiers again." Fu Wei patted his thigh and said politely, "if the rest place is ready, please send someone to lead the way."

Huang AI immediately smiled and said, "it's just like this when I just landed on a long voyage."

Fu Wei gave a white eye and wanted to squat down if he didn't care about his image.

The fleet will rest in Yizhou for two days. It's not that most people can't stand it. The Han Army preparing to invade the southwest Peninsula frankly is not a pure Navy. Many people can only swim and can't stand the sea turbulence for too long.

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

"Are the soldiers stationed in the Central Plains or in the south?" Huang AI personally led the way and talked more on the road: "the soldiers in the Central Plains do not adapt to the climate in the south. The phenomenon of acclimatization is a serious test."

Didn't the state of Han destroy the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? In only a few major campaigns, the killing and killing of the Jin army were relatively serious, and the rest were mostly prisoners. After Jiankang's court surrendered, the regular Jin army's Navy surrendered in an all-round way. The central resolution was to recruit Jin army's navy soldiers, which would be used to invade the southwest peninsula.

"Acclimatization is very serious?" Fu Wei was surprised and said, "haven't you worked hard on diet?"

"I can accept it for the time being. I'm afraid it will take a long time..." Huang AI kept smiling bitterly: "diet is useful, but climate plus homesickness... It's not just diet that can change."

Or climate and environment.

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

Then, the ecological environment of each place is different. It's like people on earth go to zenith. Even if there is air to breathe, they have no resistance to some bacteria that do not adapt to physical functions.

Thinking is a big problem. Homesickness and missing who will give a great burden to the brain. There is nothing in a short time. Over time, it is clear that the body is not ill, but it will also be ill under the constant hint of mentality.

"Those demobilized soldiers are still being reorganized." Fu Wei was really worried when Huang AI said, "you should report the relevant situation to the center as soon as possible. If Jie Shiwei is still in Yizhou, he will sign it together."

Yu Fangzhi turned his eyes when he heard this. The people in the Central Plains would not accept the local conditions. Wouldn't the people in the south? Or is it that the old soldiers of the Han army need to be eliminated from non combat damage, and the non combat damage of demobilized soldiers can be ignored?

Huang AI walked directly into the house and was familiar with the layout. It was not difficult to write early: "right away, Ai Ma will write."

The houses built by the Yizhou garrison are different from those in the Central Plains. There are no adobe walls. Structurally, they are either wood or bamboo. The houses will be towering, leaving a space isolated from the ground.

Because there was no threat on the sea, the Yizhou garrison did not set up too many Fortifications on the coastline, but just built the necessary lookout.

The main threat of the Yizhou garrison is the hinterland. The aborigines are too haunted. The Garrison has to clean up the plants around the garrison and put up fences. At the same time, sentries should be set up along the line.

"There's no way like home. There are too many snakes, ants and insects here." Huang AI said why the first floor should be separated from the ground: "we can't learn from those aborigines who live on tree tops or caves. It's a very correct decision to learn from ZhuYue and Zhuman on the other side of the mainland to build houses."

Fu Wei said that he felt strange and had a little impression. After being prompted by Huang AI, he remembered that not all the barbarians in Lingnan built houses like this!

"There are only snakes and insects here, and there are dragons over there in Jiangzhou." Yu Fangzhi's dragon is not a real dragon. It is some small crocodiles in southern China, such as the Chinese alligator in "eliminating three pests around". He asked with a little curiosity, "why didn't you sprinkle lime or sulfur around the house?"

"Experience, experience!" Huang AI's face was forced: "this is not unfamiliar with the south, but even more unfamiliar with Yizhou. He has sent a fleet back to the mainland to get lime and collect sulfur from the Japanese islands."

Lime snake and ant control are not new to Chinese Miao people. Sulfur also has a corresponding effect, which is known only after communicating with the Japanese islands.

"The Japanese Islands?" Yu Fangzhi was stunned and suddenly said, "indeed, there is a lot of sulfur on the Japanese islands."

There is nothing to make a fuss about. The Japanese islands are a multi volcanic area. Not only are gold and silver reserves amazing, but there is really no shortage of sulfur because of the existence of sulfur island.

The peak period of trading raw materials between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Japanese islands was in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the materials for making gunpowder in the Song Dynasty depended on the import of the Japanese.

"Not only sulfur, people can get it from the Japanese islands." Fu Wei was already lying on the wooden floor and said carelessly, "those semi civilized dwarfs are also very flexible in the mountains and forests to deal with completely uncivilized barbarians."

"..." Huang AI was completely stunned for a moment. After reacting, he patted his thigh excitedly: "why didn't you think of it!"

The countries of the Japanese islands are now all vassal states of the Han state. They all listen to the call of the suzerain state. Several countries have contributed nearly 70000 troops to fight Murong Xianbei on the Koguryo battlefield in Eastern Liaoning.

What is the biggest impression of the Han people on the Japanese Islands? The first impression is that they are short, the second is that they are exceptionally obedient, and then I'm afraid it's the flexibility of the mountains and forests.

"You can ask the conscription servant to come from the army!" Huang AI thought the idea was simply too good: "it doesn't hurt how many servants die from the army!"

Yu Fangzhi was stunned at the beginning. He had the impression that the small court of the Middle East Jin Dynasty treated the vassal state like serving its ancestors. Why did the Han state not take the vassal state seriously at all, and even tried every means to abuse it?

In fact, there was no real vassal state in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Anyone who went to worship under the name of which country really cherished it. If so, they want to keep the last face of China.

"Well, that's right!" Fu Wei continued to say carelessly, "if someone leads the army to levy Fu Nan, he should also go to the table and let the center get some servants to come from the army."

Yu Fangzhi suddenly found that as a vassal state of the Han state, it was really bad luck for eight generations. A general at the rank of Colonel would not say it. The dignified Yilang general also had that mentality. It can be seen that the upper and lower levels of the Han state did not take the vassal state seriously. Whenever there was any danger, they wanted to pull the people of the vassal state to fill in with their lives.

I think so, but Yu Fangzhi is also very moved. After all, it's better to die someone else than yourself. He also asked, "we can do the same?"

Huang AI had written the official document, urged Fu Wei to sign it quickly, responded carelessly to Yu Fangzhi, and said: "of course, there is no problem with the military dispatch, and the civilian... Is not clear."

Yes, all families, including the Yu family, want to participate in the invasion of the southwest peninsula. Their invasion is only a folk act.

This time, there are not a few families following the Han warship team to the south. Each family, such as the Yu family, sent thousands of people, and a few dozens of people came by boat to test. It is to pursue the footsteps of various pioneers in ancient and Pre-Qin times and step on a new round of self-development history with two big feet.
