"General Tu Ju and General Zhao Tuo have joined forces and are marching towards the Dian Kingdom."
"We will capture the Dian Kingdom soon."
"In time, the entire Lingnan Baiyue will be completely brought under the jurisdiction of the Qin Dynasty."
We changed to a larger ship and entered the Dongjiang River from Meijiang River.
Within the cabin.
Ren Xiao was reporting on various important matters in Baiyue, Lingnan.
According to the previous march plan, the responsibility of his own army has been completed, and only Tu Ju's army in the west and Zhao Tuo's army in the middle are left.
Therefore, according to the instructions of General Mengwu, he did not need to continue to lead the army to the west, but he had to lead his troops to pacify the lands occupied by Lingnan one by one.
Although it is not a war, it is more important.
It has been like this for several months.
Now, the Marquis of Wuzhen County has also come.
"Dian Kingdom!"
"If I remember correctly, Zhuang Qi, the general of the Chu State Army, went south to conquer Baiyue in the south of Lingnan. Later, due to the war between Qin and Chu, his way back was blocked, so he stayed in Dian."
"Established the Dian Kingdom."
"Afterwards, the King of Chu was furious, and Zhuang Ji, a tribe of Zhuang Qi, rioted because of it. Zhuang Ji's riot was born, and the state of Chu suffered a lot. It was also because of Zhuang Ji that the Xiang family became stronger in the military."
Zhou Qing was sitting quietly in the cabin, with only Qian Hong beside him. As for Xue'er and others, they were on another ship, and their words fell on Dian Kingdom.
I do know a little bit about that place.
Everyone knows that Zhuang Ji revolted, but they don't know why the King of Chu was harsh on the Zhuang Ji tribe. The reason was that Zhuang Qi failed to return with his troops and established the Dian Kingdom.
"But so."
"The strength of the Dian Kingdom is not weak, and the number of people reaches more than 100,000."
"Of course, no match for the Iron-Blooded Master of Great Qin!"
Ren Xiao gives a gift.
Since what the princes and princes said is true, the origin of the Dian Kingdom is indeed true.
Even so, that's it.
At that time, Zhuang Qi could not return to Chu because of Qin's obstruction. Now his descendants will not return, so it is better to surrender.
If you don't surrender, there is only one way.
"More than 100,000 people, that's quite a lot."
“There are too few people in Baiyue, Lingnan.”
"The Longchuan City we just passed by is pretty good."
"Ren Xiao, according to His Majesty's wishes, after you have conquered Jiangnan and Baiyue, you will most likely have to stay here."
"I will next take charge of the counties south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, I am going to order you and others to guard the Nanhai, Xiang, and Dian areas respectively."
"how?"
The entire Dian Kingdom was very large, almost as large as Guanzhong, but it only had more than 100,000 people in total. It was absolutely vast and sparsely populated, and Zhou Qing was deeply moved by it.
As he said this, the conversation changed to the follow-up matters here in the South China Sea.
If nothing else happens, Ren Xiao, Tu Ju and others will guard this place. As for Zhao Tuo, he has other uses.
"Let the princes and princes order you."
Ren Xiao bowed deeply and did not dare to have any other opinions.
"Hahaha, if you let me order you, then your burden will be heavy next."
Zhou Qing smiled.
"I am willing to serve the prince!"
Ren Xiao saluted again.
Sure enough, if you stay in the South China Sea, it will be under the jurisdiction of the princes.
Even though I was in Baiyue, Lingnan, I had already known the news about Xianyang.
The Marquis is your Majesty's half-brother. He has a distinguished status and a high position of power. This can be seen from looking at the counties south of the Yangtze River under his jurisdiction. When the Marquis takes over, it is natural to express his position as early as possible.
"Hahaha."
"What does it mean to serve me?"
"You serve Jiangnan, your Majesty, and Da Qin."
Zhou Qing shook his head.
Along the way, I chatted with Ren Xiao.
Regarding the land of the South China Sea, although he has known a lot over the years, after all, it is still wild now, and what Ren Xiao knows is more real.
Going south along the Longjiang River, you will reach Boluo.
This is also a simple small city.
He didn't stay in Boluo for too long and went straight to Panyu, where Ren Xiao was now based in the South China Sea.
It is close to the sea, and the stone city is still being built. It is surrounded by military camps. It is of great benefit to bring food, grass and baggage southward either from the sea or from the Five Ridges Canal.
"Sir, this is the South China Sea!"
After stopping here for a short time, he rode on horseback and ran towards the sea outside Panyu City.
The turbulent waves of the blue sea are coming towards you. It is very different from the refreshing atmosphere in Zhenze, and is mixed with a fishy smell that is unique to the sea.
Xueer showed her hand and pointed to the far distance, which was the southern sea area, and she was a little curious.
"Yes, it can be considered as the South China Sea."
"Speaking of which, it should be early autumn in Guanzhong right now, but the South China Sea is still a warm place."
“You can also see flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables.”
"This is the value of Lingnan."
Zhou Qing reined in the reins, his purple eyes flashing as he looked into the distance.
South China Sea!
Came by myself.
It really feels a little different.
"Sir, the rice here will be harvested twice a year. If it is specially cultivated by the Central Academy, then... the food and grass supplies in the land south of the Yangtze River will be quite sufficient."
From Minzhong County to the land of Nanhai.
Bai Qianhong has seen various countries. She used to observe the five-year plans of various countries, but now she has a different feeling. The land south of the Yangtze River... seems to be a real treasure.
Rather than a barren and barren place.
"Especially since *********yu is a fertile land with a radius of hundreds of miles. The rivers have created many acres of land. Sure enough, if the land is reclaimed, it will be enough for the entire South China Sea."
"This place is close to the sea and is connected to the Five Ridges Canal, making it easy for caravans to travel."
"Sir, given time, Panyu will definitely become a pearl in the entire Jiangnan."
Bai Qianhong said with more certainty.
“Panyu is really nice here.”
Xueer agreed.
At least the weather is very good. Autumn here is like spring in Guanzhong, and it won't be very cold even in winter.
Living here is also very pleasant.
"Follow me to the depths of the South China Sea."
Zhou Qing's whole body flashed with purple light, turning into a stream of light and running towards the depths of the sea.
When Bai Qianhong and others saw this, they also walked against the wind and followed in the air.
After a few breaths, everyone used Xuan Gong to explore the depths of the South China Sea. Looking back, the land of Panyu became smaller and smaller.
Not long after, dozens of miles away, it became even smaller, like an ant.
If you are hundreds of miles away, you can't see anything.
In the void above our heads and in the sea below us, we can sometimes see islands of different sizes protruding from the surface of the sea, continuing to penetrate deeper into the sea against the wind.
I even saw waves that were several feet or dozens of feet high.
"Sir, look...what is that?"
Suddenly, Yan Lingji looked to the right and to the front, where... a water column up to a hundred feet high suddenly spurted out from the sea.
In the meantime, there was a melodious sound that spread throughout dozens of miles.
Taking a deep look, a group of huge dark-colored animals were wandering under the sea. The animals were dozens of feet long and extremely large.
"We'll find out if we go down and take a look."
Zhou Qing smiled and said, taking one step forward and disappearing, the mysterious light had already entered the sea.
"Son."
"The slave family doesn't like water."
Yan Lingji hummed, "Even so, the Xuan Gong body protector, together with Xue'er, swooped down and ran into the sea, and the water in the sea was not intrusive."
As for breathing, at the level of spiritual transformation, the Xuan Gong can be turned within.
"What a big fish!"
Several feet deep into the sea, Xueer's spiritual sense was transmitted, and Xueer looked at the fish in the sea in amazement, there were many, many, thousands of them.
Moreover, the fish are so big that it is impossible to grow them in Zhenze or river water.
And the big fish that just spit out a hundred feet high.
It's really huge.
In front of that big fish, I really looked like an ordinary fish.
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty. Its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it has. But it turned into a bird. Its name is Peng. The Peng's back is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it has."
"It flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, it is a bird."
"The sea transport will migrate to Nanming. The one in Nanming is Tianchi, and the one in "Qixie" is also the one with Zhiwei."
"Wild horses are like dust, and living things blow them with their breath."
"The water column just now was the breath of the big fish."
"One movement and one stillness, one yin and one yang, one hardness and one softness, the universe is in harmony with each other!"
Xiao Meng held the Wuchen Sword in her arms, with a cyan light shield protecting her body, and looked at the big fish quietly. It was really big, really huge.
Looking at this fish, my soul can't help but feel a word floating around.
The words of Taoist sage Zhuang Zhou's "Xiaoyaoyou"!
You cannot know how big a fish is unless you take a real look at it.
"This fish can be called Kun."
"But is there really a roc in the world?"
"Will such a big fish turn into a peng?"
Xue'er stretched out her hand and teased the fish swimming by. It felt so interesting.
The big fish in front of me is definitely Kun.
Since there is Kun, then there must be Peng?
"There is a saying in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"."
"There are also words in "The Five Tribulations of Heaven and Man" recorded by Young Master."
"The Kunlun Mountain is so high that it reaches the sky and can be used as a pillar of heaven. It has a radius of three thousand miles and a circumference of 100 meters. There is a back house below, one hundred feet in diameter. It is ruled by nine immortals. There is a big bird on top."
"Extending the left wing can cover the Prince of the East. Extending the right wing can cover the Queen Mother of the West. There is no feather in the small part of the back. It is nineteen thousand miles away. When the Queen Mother of the West climbs on her wings, she will also meet the Prince of the East."
"If there really is a Peng in the world, it is most likely only in Kunlun."
Bai Qianhong’s spiritual awareness spreads.
In response to Xue'er's words.
Maybe there really is a roc.
But the roc cannot stay in the sea, it will only stay on the highest mountain.
And among all the summers, the highest mountain...is only Kunlun.
"There should be a roc bird."
"I just don't know how the Dapeng bird compares with the colorful phoenix?"
Yan Lingji is looking forward to the two of them fighting to see who is stronger.
I think the colorful phoenix is more powerful.
After all, the four spirits of heaven and earth are occupied by Suzaku, the descendant of Suzaku, the Phoenix.
It seems that there are only legends about Dapeng birds, and there are no such records in ancient books and catalogs.
"There is nothing more magical than this in the sea."
"Maybe there is something bigger than it in the sea."
Zhou Qing smiled softly, took a step forward, the light flickered, and stood in the air again.
Xiao Meng and others followed.
"Then continue to take a closer look."
"The island there seems to be a little bigger."
Xiaomeng used her magical power, her purple eyes surged with mysterious light, and she looked into the depths of the sea, pointing in one direction.
"Go and have a look."
Zhou Qing nodded, he had nothing to do, he might as well go for a walk in the sea area.
"I wonder if there are people on the islands there."
Xueer is looking forward to it.
"You'll know just by looking at it."
Baiqianhong is not certain.
At this moment, they are already three hundred miles away from Panyu. Although three hundred miles is not far, however... if the ship goes out to sea for three hundred miles, the possibility is already slim.
Because if you go deep into the sea, you may not be able to come back.
Even if there is Sinan, it is only a general location.
Moreover, as you go deeper into the sea, the waves become more and more violent, and the small ship cannot withstand the impact at all, and may collapse in a few random hits.
