In the spring of the fifth year of Yuanshuo, the first batch of Han troops preparing to invade South Asia arrived in zhuyazhou, accompanied by some family armed men.
The season has entered the spring stage. The ice and snow in the northernmost territory of Han has not melted. On the contrary, it is still snowing in spring. It seems that the north will enter the season of warm flowers in spring later this year.
At this time in previous years, there should be continuous heavy rain in the Yangtze River Basin, but this year is somewhat abnormal. There are only a few light rains, and there is no sign of continuous rainy season.
The abnormal climate makes the Han country nervous. The ice and snow in the North has not melted, which indicates that sowing will be delayed, and drought may occur if the rainy season in the central part does not come. The most urgent task of the central civil service system now is to speed up the construction of irrigation water conservancy in various places. If there is a drought, at least in addition to natural disasters, manpower can play some remedial role.
At the southwest end of the Han Dynasty, people in zhuyazhou are not so clear about the inland situation. They are enjoying the most appropriate temperature for the human body and, of course, exotic scenery.
If Zhu Yazhou doesn't look at the output and only looks at the scenery, there is no doubt that it is a very suitable place to relax. Especially if you want to be able to swim, you can take a boat out to the offshore area, look at the mint green sea surface because the water is not too deep, and then look at a yellow and white beach. The scenery will be intoxicating.
"This place is really comfortable!" Fu Wei was lying on the armchair, basking in the gentle sunshine: "this trip really made money."
That is, you will feel comfortable along the coast. The coastal scenery is really very good. If you go deep into the hinterland, in fact, the scenery is not much different from the inland. In particular, it has not been developed at all. If you stay in the uninhabited primitive area for a long time, you will only feel depressed rather than happy.
Fu Wei took a boat to sea with some subordinates and docked about a mile away from the beach.
Most of the coastal areas of zhuyazhou are not too deep, and ships with too deep draft can't get close to them. With the current industrial capacity, only some natural deep-water areas are suitable as seaports. Now, the choice of port can only be natural deep-water area. After all, the construction of artificial port is not so simple.
It is already a mile away from the beach, but the water depth is only six meters at most. Under the sufficient sunlight, the sea water is not as clear as words. It can peep into the seabed from the water surface. There are corals everywhere under the water, and many fish swim back and forth.
At the right time, all the people, including Fu Wei, just wear a pair of underpants. When they like it, they go swimming or diving. When they feel tired, they get on the boat and straighten out their bodies. It's simply too leisurely.
"Come on, come on!" Lu Liang, the Marquis of the army, held a wooden table in his hands, on which was a lobster emitting hot steam: "it's a local specialty. It's just steamed and sprinkled with some scallion oil."
The lobster has been cut. Maybe it doesn't know how to serve seafood. It broke its shell when cooking. It doesn't look very good, but it smells really delicious.
In the army, when you relax, you just need to pay attention to your immediate boss. Your peers at the same level don't speak politely at all. Fu Wei took the lead in "rowing" a small half of the past, and the rest was quickly divided up. Instead, Lu Liang, who brought up the delicious food, finally got only one tail.
Lobster is not only found in zhuyazhou. As long as you want to find it along the coast, you can certainly find it, but it is difficult to find a lobster as big as zhuyazhou.
"At least twice as big as Qingzhou!" Fu Wei is actually talking about Changguang county. There is a rich aquatic product there, and some shell seafood is not lacking: "when a ship returns, pick a large one and bring a few barrels to the king and the princes."
"Like coconut, and what's the name of that?" Lv Liang thought for a while and finally remembered his name: "litchi? Yes, it's litchi. It's all iced. You must give it to the king."
At present, the transportation is not convenient, and the transplanted technology is not qualified. It is obviously a product of the same country, but it can't be seen at a long distance.
Litchi is a specialty in the southwest, and a fruit called longan is also a specialty in the southwest and Southeast.
Lv Liang would say that it was Liu Yan who specially asked the troops invading the south to send longan. He thought that litchi was bigger and sweeter than longan and should be loved.
When you find something good, it's right to think of giving it to the king at the first time. Especially the soldiers on the frontier expedition have the elements to show off their martial arts. In fact, they also have a spiritual sustenance.
Zhu Yazhou has many wonders that can be dedicated to the center, and only a small part of them can eat. If you spend some time exploring and collecting, coral is one of the major items, and then there are luxuries such as pearls and gemstones.
At present, coral is not famous at all in China's entertainment industry. The main reason is that there are few ways to obtain it. It will not become popular in the South until HNA trade prospers. Jade has always occupied the main market in the north.
In terms of pearls, Donghai pearl is the most valuable pearl in the Central Plains. It is mainly that Donghai pearl is large and mellow enough, but the Pearl on zhuyazhou is larger and better in color than Donghai pearl. In addition, Japanese pearl.
When the fleet arrived at zhuyazhou, it did not immediately invade Linyi and Funan. After stopping at zhuyazhou, it entered a rest period. As long as the generals had no official business, they could hunt for wonders anytime and anywhere, and the soldiers took turns on holidays. They need some time to adapt to the climate, and their bodies need to be recuperated in order to invade with a full attitude.
Fu Wei also learned the fact that the climate on the southwest peninsula is extremely changeable in spring. It is not a simple rain, but a violent storm. It is a violent storm in the real sense, that is, the terrorist existence of hurricanes and typhoons floating from the sea.
The Han Army had not seen hurricanes and typhoons and had no intuitive impression. There were other reasons.
After a long sea voyage, landing operations will be carried out without any rest. Too long sea voyage will worsen the state of officers and soldiers and cause great fearless casualties. In this way, it will be simple. No country's army will enter the landing operation immediately without rest after a long voyage at sea.
Today is the third day of rest, and after seven days of rest, it is time to send the first invading troops.
With the demise of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, most of the Jiaozhi areas belonging to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were accepted by the Han state, and some areas were suddenly invaded and occupied by Lin Yi state and Funan state.
The Han army will land in rinan county. The landing place is a place called Bijing (Modern Guangxi). There is a natural harbor in Jiaozhi, which is closest to Zhu Wu (West of modern Donghai). Lin Yiguo occupied the west of Zhu Wu, which originally belonged to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The first stage of the invasion of the southward fleet is to recover the lost land first.
Although it was decided to invade South Asia, the Han state was basically blind to the local terrain. It had a preliminary understanding only after consulting the map hidden in the palace of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The problem is that the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not know much about South Asia, and many of them still scribbled and painted on their own.
For example, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty marched into South Asia, recovered part of the territory lost in the Eastern Han Dynasty and re established Jiaozhi. The fatal thing is to recover only near Danang in the south of Yue1 in later generations, while it directly penetrated to the southwest in the Western Han Dynasty.
In addition to not completely recovering the lost land in the Western Han Dynasty, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not care about the hinterland at all. It only recorded some rough records, such as the mountains in the hinterland, what the mountains are, how high or long the mountains are, and basically did not mention a word.
Seven days later, Fu Wei personally arrived at Bijing with the first batch of landing troops. He was greeted by Jiaozhi Lieutenant Wu Ding, who met him once in zhuyazhou.
"Unfortunately, it happened to be rainy." Wuding frowned and looked at the dark sky. The sky was pouring rain like water: "enough ginger soup has been prepared. I hope you have brought enough rain gear. Do you want the soldiers to get off the ship or wait for the rain to stop?"
Fu Wei also felt very unlucky. When they set out from zhuyazhou, it was sunny and the weather was good on the way. It rained only after they entered the Beibu Gulf. Unexpectedly, the rain on Jiaozhi side would be greater than that on the sea.
Among the first troops to land in Jiaozhi, the number of the Han army was only 3000, while the family armed forces, including the Yu family, were 4000, which would be transported and delivered in batches later.
Yu Fangzhi and Huan Xu are completely ignorant. They are eager to know when the rain will stop.
"I'm not sure." Wu DingCai was a Jiaozhi colonel for less than three months. He waved to a returning Jin army general. They got close and asked, "when will the rain stop?"
After Yuan Fang surrendered, he performed well and was used. He used to be a miscellaneous general, but now he is a Marquis of the Han army. He thought for a moment and said, "according to the experience of previous years, should it rain for four or five days at this time?"
Four or five days of rain is not too long. There is a similar climate everywhere.
"After the rain stops, the weather will not become sunny or cloudy." Yuan Fang frowned when she saw the people who had just landed from the ship, smiled bitterly and said, "it's like this in spring. It's cloudy. It's just that the air is wet. It's uncomfortable when it's rainy season."
People familiar with the peninsula climate will know that spring is not a good time for invasion at all, and autumn is not suitable. It should be summer or winter.
There are many rainy seasons in spring on the peninsula. It's not right to say that the rainy season is just trouble. There are still quite a lot of extended problems. First, the continuous heavy rain will make many primitive jungles filled with water, and then the debris flow will be extremely serious. There is no traffic. Then, the peninsula is originally the ecology of the primitive jungle. Spring is the season for the recovery of all things. All plants grow rapidly. Even if a road is opened up, believe it or not, the cleared plants grow everywhere in a few days.
"Linyi is a country built in dense forests, and very few areas are plains." Yuan Fang said strangely, "they have almost no cities, mostly in the form of villages. There are almost no traffic roads, and some temporary roads."
Yu Fangzhi's face grew bitter the more he listened to it. Before he came to Linyi, he had a preliminary understanding. He knew that it was a wild land. Only when he saw and heard what familiar people said with his own eyes did he know how wild it was.
Other family leaders began to doubt whether it was right to come to this broken place.
"It's true that crops grow more than a year. At least two waves can be harvested a year, and the most areas can be harvested four or five times a year." Yuan Fang said with disgust: "most of the local savages don't work in production. They usually sleep and wander. They can eat every day relying on melons and fruits."
Fu Wei likes to listen to this. His main goal this time is not to lay down much territory, but to rob food.
"Grain?" After Yuan Fang got the answer, he was stunned and said casually, "if it's just for food, just inform Lin Yi people and Funan people that there are cloth and iron tools here, and they are happy to exchange them."
At this time, Wuding knew that the fleet was going south for food. Some said, "there are mountains of food in the granary at Jiaozhi..."
Yu Fangzhi's face became more bitter. The official came for food. The family armed came. In addition to various resources, the main goal was land.
"The so-called pile up like a mountain..." Fu Wei stared: "how much is it?"
Wuding said uncertainly, "there should be tens of thousands of stones?"
Yuan Fang said with great certainty, "there are more 120000 stones."
Without saying a word, Fu Wei asked the people still on the ship to get off the ship. In addition to the accompanying soldiers, 500 special personnel came.
The so-called special personnel are naturally system farmers. They come to build system buildings.
Of course, the 120000 stones stored in Jiaozhi are not enough for Fu Wei. Their set goal is to reduce the number of millions of stones.
Sun Tzu Suan Jing is very detailed. Sixteen Liang is one (Wrestling), thirty (Wrestling) is one Jun, and four Jun is one stone. 100000 people average one (Wrestling) a day, so the daily consumption is about 833 stones, and 100000 stones is only enough for 100000 people for about four months.
Han used a very large number of troops, not only the lack of food for the military. Because the production system was damaged and has not been restored, it can be said that the whole country needs food.
Considering that there may be a large area of drought in the Central Plains and the south in the future, and the output of grain will certainly decrease, the demand for grain will increase sharply. Liu Yan's eagerly sending troops to invade the southwest peninsula is a psychology of being prepared.
[spring is not suitable for fighting. Should we start spreading news to Linyi and Funan, as yuan junhou said, to attract them to Trade grain?] Fu Wei felt very headache. He came to plunder and become a trade. He thought the following eggs began to hurt: [if it really evolved like this, he would be laughed to death by his colleagues?]
Next, Fu Wei did nothing else. While sending warships to patrol the coast, he looked for reliable mountain maps and studied them constantly
