Chapter 18 Overseas Expansion (I)

Third year of Yuan Dynasty

Weiman Southeastern waters of North Korea

A ship headed east along the coastline, with a long black flag hanging on the bow, the golden "king" embroidered on the flag, and a golden crescent moon embroidered on the back.

"Brother, does the Japanese archipelago in the ancestors' teachings really exist?" A girl in cloth clothes and trousers stood at the bow of the boat and asked a young man beside her.

The girl's name is Wang Roujing, who is the legitimate daughter of Wang Chong, the second wife of the Wang family in Liaodong. She has a youthful and cute pretty face, and the dimples on the corner of her face show her tenderness at all times.

However, such a noble girl was wearing trousers that only the villagers of the Central Plains wore, instead of wearing open-crotch pants like the powerful people in the Central Plains. Then she put on a piece of satin clothes outside the open-crotch pants, and her two trouser legs were rolled up to reveal them.

Slim and soft calves are wearing straw sandals that reveal their feet.

Because under the influence of his ancestor Wang Kang, the Wang family in Liaodong was more practical in dressing. Therefore, although they wore long silk dresses like the powerful people in the Central Plains on weekdays, if they went to work in the sea, they would put on the trousers of the villagers, even for women.

They will also roll up their trouser legs "shamelessly" to reveal their two smooth calves, without caring about the so-called etiquette at all.

Since a few months ago, when the head of the family, Wang Taihao, felt that he might be involved in the whirlpool between the Jiaodong King and the imperial court, in order to be on the safe side, Wang Taiyang and Wang Roujing brothers went out to sea to find the Japanese islands in the teachings of their ancestors, for the future

Be prepared to avoid disasters if you may go to sea.

"Jing'er, my ancestors never make mistakes. As long as we follow the description of the ancestors' teachings and move eastward along the southern coastline of Wei's North Korea, we will definitely find the legendary Japanese islands." As the young king of the Wang family, Wang

Tai Yang also wore a common clothes, just because she often encountered wind and waves at sea. She changed her new clothes in the morning and would be soaked before the night, so she was not suitable for wearing the previous gorgeous clothes.

Along the way, they rested on the coast of Wei's North Korea every time they sailed for a distance, picked some fruits on the land, hunted some wild animals, collected some river water, and replenished various supplies, and then continued to sail, for fear of being the Wei's North Korea.

Discover.

"vomit--"

“Wow——Vomit——”

Some crew sailors vomited and bleed on the boat. Months of life at sea caused their bodies to suffer huge torture. Some time ago, someone was still caught in a disease due to the discomfort of the water and water while hunting in the Wei family. This disease spread to ten or ten.

It spread to hundreds, causing more than a dozen people on the ship to be infected.

Out of helplessness, Wang Taiyang had to secretly instruct the private soldiers of the Wang family who were traveling with him to assassinate the sick sailors on land. After returning, he lied to everyone that he had died after being attacked by local indigenous people.

When they set off, there were Wang Taiyang, Wang Roujing, five maids of the Wang family, twenty sailors, ten armored infantrymen, a total of thirty-seven people.

Now, even the legendary Japanese islands have not seen the shadow, but twenty people have died due to diseases, accidents, storms, sepsis and other causes.

Such a tragic situation made everyone, including Wang Roujing, feel desperate, and I can't help but wonder: Does the legendary Japanese archipelago really exist?

At this moment, the sky was thundering, storms were storms, and huge waves were rolling up in the entire sea.

Boom-

Huh--

boom!

"The Siren is here!"

"Don't panic, everyone will return to the cabin!"

The sailors called this kind of sea storm that humans could not resist as "Simon". This is not the first time they have encountered this situation, but today's "Simon" seems to be particularly powerful.

boom!

A lightning slashed down from the sky and struck a wave of more than ten feet in the distance. Lightning like a spider web exploded instantly, shaking the entire sea area.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

More and more lightning fell from the sky, the whole sky became dark clouds, and the world was dark.

The Wang family ship swayed on the sea like a lonely leaf, as if it was about to overturn the seabed at any time.

Sudden!

A huge wave more than twenty feet high swept across from the side of the ship.

Boom! Bang—bang—

Scream-

The ship rolled to the other side, and the deck on the ship was almost in direct contact with the sea.

"Brother, are we... going to die?" Wang Roujing, hiding in the cabin, knelt on the wooden board and prayed for the blessing of his ancestors, looking at Wang Taiyang next to him in despair.

"Jing'er, I...I'm happy...uh..." When he was dying, Wang Taiyang decided to express his feelings to his sister, and it would not be a waste of time to come to this world.

However, before he could finish his words, another huge wave hit the other side of the ship.

boom!

Scream-

The ships that were about to overturn the seabed returned to balance under the impact of two waves and shuttled through the wind and waves again.

After a long time, the ship stopped shaking. Everyone returned to the deck, but they saw a clear sky, as if the dark clouds and storms had not happened just now.

Everything was back to normal, only the many cracks and wet decks on the ship proved the previous crisis.

Everyone who survived the disaster smiled, but Wang Roujing could no longer look at her brother as before. She looked at Wang Taiyang with a flushed face and asked in a soft voice: "What did your brother just say to me?"

"Uh...I, I..." Wang Taiyang was very embarrassed and hesitated and couldn't speak.

But he did not regret it because the situation was too critical. If it was really the last moment in his life, if he didn't say what he was in his heart, he would not be in peace even if he died.

Both of them were forced to marry a child at a very young age under the arrangement of their grandfather Wang Kang. One married his wife and the other married his son-in-law.

However, the two local little powerful families in Dashui County who married the Wang family inexplicably died out a few years ago. It seemed that the family man was assassinated by an assassin, and all the family property was inherited by the Liaodong Wang family, who married it.

They dare not blame their grandfather, but only regretted that they were inadequate and could not resist the family's decision.

Before they knew it, Wang Taiyang gradually approached Wang Roujing. The two stood at the bow of the boat. Against the setting sun, their figures intertwined, not like a brother and sister, but more like a lover.

"elder brother……"

Feeling the masculine aura getting closer and closer, Wang Roujing's heart thumped quickly, kneading the corners of her clothes with her fingers, biting her lips with silver teeth and bare teeth, and her heart was full of struggle and hesitation.

"Shaojun! There is an island in front of you!"

At this time, a private soldier from the Wang family suddenly shouted to Wang Taiyang excitedly.

"Ah~Huh——" Wang Taiyang let out a long sigh, soothing his uneasy heart for a while, and then looked in the direction pointed by the private soldier. It was a small island full of green forests.

Not only that, there are many similar islands in the sea not far from this green island.

At this moment, Wang Taiyang knew that they had entered an archipelago.

Have we arrived at the Japanese archipelago? But the ancestors' teachings mean that the Japanese archipelago are very large? It is larger than the counties and states of the Han Dynasty, but these islands seem to be the size of each county of the Han Dynasty, and it seems to be the same as the ancestors' teachings.

The description does not match.

Everyone had such doubts in their hearts. With such doubts, the ship accelerated to those islands.

After a while, the ship docked on the coast of a small island nearest.

"Drop the ship! Pay attention to the beasts! Pay attention to the blood-sucking insects! Pay attention to the native savages!"

Wang Taiyang directed everyone to disembark in an orderly manner and reminded them to pay attention, these are the situations they often encounter when they landed along the Wei Korean coast.

Many crew members were left with blood-sucking worms but had no feelings. They went deep into the forest to collect wild fruits, resulting in attacks by indigenous savages. These experiences cost them the price of bleeding, and they received rich experience in dealing with them.

The crew rolled off their trousers and tightened the trousers and cuffs with cloth straps to prevent the blood-sucking worms spreading all over the forest from being on their upper body. They held spears and long swords gathered together, and always paid attention to walking slowly in front of them.

Sudden!

“#￥%*￥%%*”

"You#&#￥%&#￥ people?"

A group of people in strange costumes rushed out of the forest, surrounded them, and spoke some strange language in their mouths, with only a few words that could be understood.

One of the people in the head was wearing a gorgeous costume similar to the Central Plains, but had terrifying blood patterns on his face, holding a bronze sword in his hand, standing on an ancient chariot similar to the Western Zhou Dynasty, speaking a somewhat similar language to Song Dynasty.

.

"Are you from Central Plains?"

At this time, an old man in the crowd actually spoke Zhongyuan Mandarin and asked them questions.

The old man's words instantly shocked Wang Taiyang. He originally thought that these people were the Japanese people mentioned in the teachings of his ancestors, or the Chen people on the Korean Peninsula, but when he saw their bronze sword that was different from the savages.

, and when the ancient chariots in the early Western Zhou Dynasty were very confused, and when some people could speak the Central Plains Mandarin language, they could no longer calm down.

"Some of you can speak Central Plains Mandarin? Not Japanese? Not Chenren?" Wang Taiyang communicated with the old man in Central Plains Mandarin.

"What Japanese people? I haven't heard of it, but Chen people have heard of it. We are Chen people." The old man replied.

Afterwards, after some exchanges, Wang Taiyang finally understood.

It turned out that these people were all survivors of the Shang Dynasty, and were from Jizi Korea. Later, Wei Man usurped the throne and they were forced to exile to the south of the Three Koreans, unify the Three Korean tribes and establish the Chen Kingdom.

Since then, they have called themselves Chen people and have sent people to the Central Plains to pay tribute to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, a few years ago, their king Jijun suddenly died suddenly. Because they had no descendants, the three Han tribes took the opportunity to support their own kings.

, These Shang survivors who claimed to be Chen people had to continue to exile south. In order to avoid the persecution of the Chen people by the Sanhan tribe, they crossed the sea to survive in this archipelago.

Because they were separated from the Central Plains for too long, and the language and culture have integrated some of the local indigenous characteristics according to the customs, their current language is completely different from that of the Central Plains. Even the Song people who are of the same origin and species as them have already become very different.

Only some vocabulary has similar words.

When Wang Taiyang was communicating with these Shang survivors, Wang Roujing, who had just got off the boat, couldn't help but instruct the maids to take out the cloth, silk and pens and ink from the cabin, and let the maids hold the ink inkstone and cloth, which she holds in her own hands.

The brush records the great moment of Wang Family Shaojun and the remnants of the Shang Dynasty through ink painting.

Seeing his sister's actions, Wang Taiyang smiled and said, "What is the name of Jing'er's painting?"

"Well..." Wang Roujing was thinking, and her thoughtful look made Wang Taiyang feel excited. After a moment, she showed her cute dimples and smiled: "Why better call it "The Last Shangren of the Yin Dynasty", how about it?"

"This painting is vivid and records the feat of our discovery of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. I believe that in the near future, this ink painting "The Last Shang Dynasty" painted on silk and cloth will surely become a treasure of the world." Wang Tai

Yang admired his sister's painter very much, and at the same time understood the great significance of his discovery of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty.
