Sweep the World

Chapter 532: : Yizhou



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

Over 70% of the earth is the sea, and less than 30% of the land. The sea divides the land route into six main 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 will call it Australia.

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

Asia is the largest of the seven continents. Except for the land of the continental plate, the area of ​​the islands on the ocean is not small. The relatively elite parts of Asia, such as some precious resources, are actually located in the archipelago.

If he wants to conquer the world island, after Liu Yan has fully recovered the old land of the Han family, his next step into the ocean and obtain the resources on the big islands will be a right start.

"This strait is the middle zone between the land of Yangzhou and Yizhou (Taiwan 1 Bay)." Fu Wei pointed his finger to the distance and said to Yu Fangzhi: "There is Yizhou."

Yu Fangzhi is the eldest son of Yu Yi, and he is responsible for directing the invasion of Linyi by the Yu clan.

The number of ships that the Yu family obtained from Han is not too many. Only 46 ships suitable for HNA can carry more than 300 people at the maximum and only 58 people at the minimum.

"Yizhou?" Yu Fangzhi seemed to be a little shortsighted? He squinted his eyes for a long time, only to see a vague horizon: "Is it Yizhou that Sun Wu sent troops to invade?"

It is difficult to determine 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 be taken abducted to supplement the strength of the people and increase the number of troops. Therefore, in the spring of the second year of Huanglong (230 years), Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge to lead more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to "float the sea to seek Yizhou and Chanzhou."

For the record of Yizhou, please refer to "Three Kingdoms Wu Zhi Sun Quan Biography". At that time, Sun Quan's army was stationed in Yizhou for a year, and then returned to the mainland because the sergeant was not satisfied with the situation. For details, please refer to "Linhai Water Soil Chronicles". This is the earliest record of the rule of the Central Plains dynasty and the garrison in Yizhou history.

The Han State also had a garrison above Yizhou, which was regarded as a subsidiary product of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty when it went south to annihilate it. At that time, the Han fleet continued to harass the coast of Yangzhou, and Yizhou was one of the transit points. Other islands, such as Jin 1 Gate, Ma 1 Zu, and Peng 1 Lake also had 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. Naturally, he wanted to know the details: "There are indeed many people in Yizhou. Everyone is a man. Piercing ears, women don’t pierce ears, and various tribes have the custom of tattooing."

There are some things that Fu Wei didn't say. The aboriginal people in Yizhou are not docile. Each tribe has regular headhunting activities every year, hunting each other, and cutting off the most heads to show bravery and show off.

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

"It's 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 it is difficult to communicate."

As the Han army marched southward, the more they fought with Zhu Yue and Zhu Barbarians. Zhu Yue and Zhu Barbarians may not be good at fighting, but they were difficult to fight in the mountains and forests. The Han Army encountered the trouble of the Qin Empire’s southern invasion. , I am not afraid of Zhuyue or Zhuman fighting head-on. What is depressed is that Zhuyue and Zhumanyou sneak attack.

"We will land in Yizhou." Fu Wei asked with a smile, "Are you interested in seeing what Yizhou people look like?"

Yu Fangzhi shook his head very directly. He was not completely unfamiliar with Zhu Yue or Zhu Man like the northerners. After that, he had the skill to study the climate and environment of the Southwest Peninsula.

At present, the number of Han troops stationed in Yizhou is less than 3,000, and they are divided into six places to garrison. In addition to the ports on the three islands, the other three are the natural harbors on the main island of Yizhou.

This time, Fu Wei led an army to invade the Southwest Peninsula, and the subsidiary task was to leave five thousand people in Yizhou.

The garrisons of Yizhou and its affiliated islands will gradually open up to the hinterland of Yizhou to clear up the area close to the mainland to the greatest extent. As for whether the aborigines encountered are absorbed and integrated or eliminated, it can be seen as the aborigines in the end. Not worthy.

Around the afternoon, the fleet of more than 1,000 ships approached the land to the north of Yizhou. Looking at Yizhou from the sea, what you saw was a pristine landscape, mostly maintaining the scenery of the virgin forest, which led to the opening of the port area. Very conspicuous.

"This area was named Tai 1 South by the king." Fu Wei had just stepped on the land, and the six days of HNA gave him the illusion of shaking even when he was standing on land: "This port is Established on a natural bay, the bay can anchor more than 1,500 large ships, and can provide 200 docks at a time."

Yu Fangzhi's situation was similar to that of Fu Wei, but his body was a little unstable when he stepped on the land. He had just seen the vastness of the port on the ship, and the corresponding thing was desolation. Simply put, there were too few traces of manpower, and there seemed to be too few houses for people to live in.

"The generals will not be short of houses. The landmen had no choice but to set up tents." Fu Wei paused as he said, standing up and waiting for the port master to approach. After saluting each other, he asked: "Have you received the central document?"

The chief officer was called Huang Ai, and he responded "Naturally". He looked at the fleet that was about to cover the bay and asked, "Should the five thousand soldiers go ashore immediately, or?"

"It must be landed immediately, and the ship has to turn to Yangzhou to transport the soldiers again." Fu Wei patted his thigh, and said without any kind of politeness: "If the resting place is ready, please send someone to lead the way."

Huang Ai immediately smiled and said: "This is the case when the long-distance voyage has just landed ashore."

Fu Wei rolled his eyes and wanted to squat down if he didn't care about his image.

The fleet will rest in Yizhou for two days. I am not worried that most people will not be able to bear it. The Han army preparing to invade the Southwest Peninsula is not a pure navy.

The real situation is that even if it is the soldiers of the inland water forces, they will not be any better when they serve at sea. Everything is only because inland navigation and sea navigation are on the water, but in fact they are two concepts.

"Are the troops stationed in the Central Plains soldiers or southern soldiers?" Huang Ai personally led the way, and there was indispensable chatting on the road: "The soldiers from the Central Plains are not well adapted to the southern climate, and the phenomenon of inadequacy of water and soil is a serious test."

Didn't the Han state destroy the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Only in a few major battles, the Jin army was killed and wounded more severely, and the rest were mostly captured by prisoners. After the Jiankang court surrendered, the regular Jin Army navy surrendered. The central decision was to include the Jin Army navy soldiers, which would be used in the invasion of the Southwest Peninsula.

"Unaccustomed to water and soil is very serious?" Fu Wei said in surprise, "hasn't you been working **** food?"

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

It is also due to climate and environment.

For example, people in the Central Plains have lived in the north where the air is relatively dry for a long time.

Furthermore, the ecological environment of each place is different. It is as if people on earth go to Zenith, even if they have air to breathe, they have no resistance to bacteria that are not adapted to body functions.

Thinking is even more of a big problem. Nostalgia and longing will put a great burden on the brain. There is nothing short of time, and the body is not sick over time, but you will get sick under the constant hint of your mentality.

"That group of soldiers is still undergoing reorganization." Fu Wei was really worried by Huang Ai: "You will report the situation to the center as soon as possible. If Jie Shiwei is still in Yizhou, he will sign it with his signature. ."

Yu Fangzhi rolled his eyes when he heard it. People in the Central Plains would be uncomfortable, but wouldn't the people in the South not? Or does it mean that the veteran soldiers of the Han army need to eliminate the non-combat loss, and the non-combat loss of the soldiers can ignore it?

Huang Ai walked directly into the house, and if he was familiar with the layout, he had no difficulty in writing early: "Immediately, Ai will write right away."

The houses built by the Yizhou garrison are different from those in the Central Plains. There are no adobe walls, and the structure is either wood or bamboo. The houses will tower high and leave a space isolated from the ground.

As there is no threat on the sea, the Yizhou garrison did not set up too many fortifications on the coastline, but just built the necessary observation decks.

The main threat to the Yizhou garrison is in the hinterland. The aborigines were too fascinated. The garrison had to clean up the vegetation around the garrison and put up the fence while setting up guard posts along the line.

"There is no way like in my hometown. There are too many snakes, ants and insects here." Huang Ai said why the first layer should be separated from the ground: "We can't learn from those indigenous people who live in tree tops or caves. It was a very correct decision to learn from Zhuyue and Zhuman on the mainland to build a house."

Fu Wei said that he felt weird and somewhat impressed. When Huang Ai was so reminded, he remembered that the savages in Lingnan all made houses like this!

"Here are only snakes and insects, and there are dragons on the other side of Jiangzhou." The dragons Yu Fangzhi said were not real dragons, but some small crocodiles in southern China, such as the Chinese alligator in the "Zhou Chu Three Harm". He asked curiously: "Why didn't you sprinkle lime or sulfur around the house?"

"Experience, experience!" Huang Ai said with a bitter expression: "This is not unfamiliar with the south, and even more unfamiliar with Yizhou. A fleet has been sent back to the mainland to get lime and go to the Wa Islands to collect sulphur."

Lime anti-snake and ants are no strangers to the Chinese descent, and sulfur also has a corresponding effect, which is only known after communicating with the Wa Islands.

"Wai Liedao?" Yu Fangzhi was stunned, before he suddenly said, "Indeed, there is a lot of sulfur on the Japanese islands."

There is nothing to make a fuss about. The Wa Islands are a volcanic area. Not only are gold and silver reserves amazing, but sulfur is really indispensable because of the existence of Iwo Jima.

The most prosperous period of the Central Plains dynasty and the Japanese islands to trade raw materials was in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the materials used to make gunpowder in the Song Dynasty depended on the imports of the Japanese Kingdom.

"It's not just sulphur, people can also get it from the Wa Islands." Fu Wei was already lying on the wooden floor, and said casually: "Those half-civilized dwarfs are used to deal with completely uncivilized barbarians. They are also very much in the mountains and forests. Flexible."

"..." Huang Ai was completely stunned for a while, and after reacting, he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Why didn't a certain think of it!"

The countries of the Japanese Islands now have a vassal state that is all Han, and they all obey the call of the sovereign state. Several countries have contributed nearly 70,000 troops to the battlefield of Liaodong Goguryeo against Murong Xianbei.

To talk about the biggest impression of the people in the Han country on the several countries of the Wa Islands, the first impression is that of dwarf scorpion, the second is that they are abnormally obedient, and then I am afraid that the flexibility of the mountains and forests.

"You can definitely ask for a servant army to come over!" Huang Ai felt that this idea was simply too good: "It doesn't hurt for the servant army to die too much!"

Yu Fangzhi was a little dumbfounded at first. He had the impression that the small imperial court in the Middle East treated the vassal state as if it were serving the ancestors. Why didn't the Han state take the vassal state seriously, and even tried all kinds of abuses?

In fact, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have a real vassal state, but anyone who went to worship under the name of a certain country was really extremely cherished. This is what they want to retain the last face of the Heavenly Kingdom.

"Well~www.wuxiaspot.com~ That's right!" Fu Wei continued to say casually: "A certain leader of the army to conquer Funan should also go to the table and let the center get some servants over."

Yu Fangzhi suddenly discovered that being a vassal state of Han was really a blood mold that had fallen for eight lifetimes. I won’t say a general who was only a captain. The dignified generals also had the same mentality. I didn't take the vassal state seriously, and wanted to pull people from the vassal state to fill it with human lives whenever I felt dangerous.

Thinking that way, Yu Fangzhi was also extremely tempted. After all, it is better to kill someone else than to kill himself. He also asked: "Can I wait like this?"

Huang Ai had already written the official document, urged Fu Wei to sign it quickly, and responded nonchalantly to Yu Fangzhi, saying: "Of course there is no problem with the military's dispatch, and the private... is not clear."

That's right, including the Yu clan, who want to participate in the invasion of the Southwest Peninsula, their invasion is only a civil act.

This time, it’s not too few families to follow the Han fleet to the south. There are thousands of people in each family, such as the Yu clan, and the few are dozens of people who have come to try it out. It can be regarded as tracing the footsteps of the pioneers of the ancient and pre-Qin Dynasty. , To use two big feet to step on a new round of spontaneous pioneering history.
