"My lord, we have agreed that before I come back, you will definitely not march westward to attack Yanzhou, right?" After laughing for a while, Taishi Ci approached Wang Yu again and asked with a salivating face.
"Yeah." Wang Yu snorted angrily.
"That's good." Taishi Ci smiled with satisfaction and said: "If you want to fight, you must leave Lu Bu to me. My lord, just deal with that girl from the Lu family. Capture her and do it..." He thought for a while
, the one who did not open the pot and picked up the pot asked: "Hey, my lord, which wife is yours?"
"Ziyi, what do you want to say?" Wang Yu's tone was a little murderous.
Although that jealous little Diao Chan is staying with Cai Yan at home and can't come with her, that little girl has many eyes and ears. Sooner or later, these words will reach her ears, and then it will be another family turmoil. Although every time
All turmoils end in beautiful scenery, but Taishi Ci cannot encourage this kind of atmosphere. What is this called? Well, by the way, his heart can be punished!
"Actually..." Although Tai Shici's tone was hesitant, the look of anticipation in his eyes was clearly visible. Wang Yu's thoughts changed and he immediately guessed what he was thinking.
Deliberately trying to keep things a secret, Wang Yu changed the subject and said, "Ziyi, let's confirm for the last time, what is the purpose of this eastward journey?"
"Open up the territory." Tai Shici replied without thinking.
The outside world only knows that Wang Yu is going to the legendary Penglai Island to find gold mines, but in fact, that goal is a very distant goal. The real goal of this eastward journey is the four counties of Liaodong and the three Han tribes!
The four counties of Liaodong are Lelang County, Xuantu County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County, which were established in the northern and central parts of the Korean Peninsula after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Weiman Korea. They are collectively referred to as the Four Han County. This is the period when Chinese civilization incorporated the peninsula into its administration.
important signs below.
Wang Yu knew that one bite would not make him fat. Of course, he would not just build some ships and sail all the way to the Japanese island. It would be feasible to just explore the route by risk, but the problem is that gold mining also requires
Human hands, where do people come from?
Although he has the ability to be a prophet, I am afraid that even historical experts do not know what the situation was like on the Japanese island in these years. Who made the residents of the island country civilized late, backward and ignorant?
Although Wang Yu likes to take risks, his style is step-by-step. He believes that if you want to go to the Japanese island, you must make preparations in advance. The Japanese island may have a small population, but there are many people from the Sanhan tribe.
According to Gongsundu, the largest of the three Korean tribes, Mahan, has fifty-four countries and a population of nearly 100,000 households. Chenhan and Bianhan each have twenty countries. There are seventy-eight countries in total, with nearly two hundred thousand households and one hundred thousand households.
More than 10,000 people!
There is certainly some water in this data because it was compiled by the Sanhan tribe themselves.
Wang Yu sits on Qingzhou and Jizhou, and has fifteen counties and counties. The area is at least four to five times that of Sanhan, and it is also a fertile land in the Central Plains. However, he only has a population of more than three million under his jurisdiction, a mere one.
The southern peninsula. Can it support one million people?
And the so-called seventy-eight countries...
In his previous life, Wang Yu read novels about the Japanese and Warring States periods, and felt that the Japanese were exaggerated. There were more than sixty countries on the mere Japanese island. Now look at it, Sanhan is much more outrageous than the Japanese. The southern peninsula is the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean.
In such a place, they actually created almost eighty countries!
For them, the word "country" is too worthless, right? It can be seen that the habit of bragging can also be inherited.
In any case, the greater the population of the three Koreas, the more beneficial it will be to Qingzhou's overseas expansion plan. It is the same in any era, only those who have talent can have everything.
While the outside world was scoffing at Wang Yu's plan, only those in the Hussar General's Mansion knew how ambitious their lord's plan was.
"Lord, don't worry. Everyone who has been to Liaodong knows that Governor Gongsun only used more than a thousand miscellaneous soldiers to defend the huge Lelang County, so that the three Koreas did not dare to cross even a little bit. These two hundred elite men under a certain command
, enough to sweep across three Koreas... Of course, I will follow your instructions, my lord, and fight steadily, first in Ziyi Bay..."
Taishi Ci chuckled: "I like this name. First occupy that bay, build the port and fortifications, then wait for reinforcements, divide two ships and go south, continue south along the route on the map, explore the sea route, and other ships return.
Continue to increase the number of troops, and when the number of troops reaches 500, we can begin to expand outwards... Oh, by the way."
Looking at Wang Yu's face, he clenched his fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand, and added as if he suddenly realized: "If things are not harmonious, you can abandon the stronghold of Ziyi Bay and retreat northward into Lelang County."
"Yes." Wang Yu nodded noncommittally. Gongsun Du was also vague about how strong Sanhan was.
Although he sent people by land and sea many times to rob the three Koreas, he did not encounter any elite troops during the robbery, only the old, weak, sick and disabled. However, it cannot be concluded that the three Koreas have no fighting capacity. After all, they are big countries with a population of one million.
, there are so many ants that they can kill an elephant.
Every time the Three Hans were robbed, they would at most send envoys to Gongsun Du to complain, but they never counterattacked Lelang County. According to the King of Ma Han, this was a sign that the people of the Three Hans respected their superior country and loved peace.
, Gongsun Du could only be dubious about this.
After all, the three Koreas are not in harmony with each other and have constraints on each other. Maybe they really feel that the loss is not too great and they cannot afford to provoke a powerful enemy like the Liaodong Prefect?
Therefore, Gongsun Du only warned the generals who went to the Three Hans to rob, to be careful and not to go too deep, and then forgot about this matter. The combat power of the Three Hans has always been a mystery.
Hearing that Wang Yu intended to conquer the Three Koreas, Gongsun Du laughed in addition to laughing. He felt that Wang Yu must have been full, and instead of fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, he went to that barren land to cause trouble.
Looking at the huge profits from sea trade, Gongsun Du approved Wang Yu's plan with a wave of his hand, ensuring that Wang Yu would not continue to increase the intensity of plunder after conquering the Three Koreas, and provided a lot of information, but in his heart after all
If you don't take it seriously, naturally the information cannot be too detailed.
In line with the principle of showing leniency to the enemy, Wang Yu asked Taishi Ci to act cautiously, fearing that he would be impulsive and have another crazy record of attacking an army of 20,000 with 300 cavalry.
Now it seems that Taishi Ci has remembered all his words. But whether he can implement it 100% is still a question. The biggest shortcoming of this guy is that he easily gets hot-headed.
Taishi Ci himself was not aware of this. The word "Ziyiwan" brought up a question that had always been itching in his heart: "By the way, my lord, where did you get that map? Even Penglai Immortal
The island...well, a place like Wajima was drawn! It’s incredible.”
What most liked Taishi Ci among the officials in the General's Mansion was that he could always ask questions that everyone was thinking about but didn't dare to ask. At this point, except for Zhuge Liang, no one in Qingzhou could compare with him.
The reason why the General's Mansion has more confidence in the eastward crossing plan is not entirely due to Wang Yu's prestige. The key is that Wang Yu has produced very convincing evidence maps!
Not the map of Qingzhou and Jizhou, but the map of the entire Bohai Sea and even the East China Sea!
What is outlined on the map is not mountains and rivers, but a long coastline. It even has reference distances marked on it, which is incredible data. Take this eastward crossing as an example. The starting point is Dongshanjiao, and the plan is to sail all the way due east.
The expected end point is an unnamed bay nearly four hundred miles away, named after Taishi Ci, the general who made the crossing to the east.
In addition, the map also shows the direction of the entire Samhan Peninsula. There is a large island at the southern end of the peninsula, and to the east of the large island is a strait about a hundred miles wide.
According to the plan, the only two voyages of the expedition fleet are from Chengshanjiao to Ziyi Bay and two voyages across the strait. The other journeys will be along the coastline.
Risks are reduced to the extreme.
Although Wang Yu has repeatedly stated that this map can only be used for reference. The distance is not true, but even if he is not being modest, this map is shocking enough.
Without ten or twenty years of exploration, who can draw something like this out of thin air? On the other hand, who can spend ten or twenty years of hard work to explore for this kind of thing? With this time, how can one draw a portrait of a big man?
Wouldn’t it be good to present detailed maps of states and counties to the emperor?
In short, this is a very convincing and incredible thing. I don’t know how many people have been tossing and turning in sleep. Unfortunately, Wang Yu has been unwilling to say it clearly, and no one dared to ask. Today, someone finally asked, and everyone
He pricked up his ears and stretched his neck, trying to get what he wanted.
"Everyone is curious, right?" Wang Yu looked around, his eyes filled with sparkling eyes. Even Jia Xu, an old fox, and Tian Feng, an old antique, nodded involuntarily.
"Then let's talk about it..."
To put it bluntly, this secret is not worth mentioning. Wang Yu is a special soldier after all. How could he not even draw a map of his own territorial waters? This map is of course not very accurate. On the one hand, Wang Yu is not a geological expert, and he does not have the precision drawing tools of later generations.
On the other hand, the geographical conditions of this era were also different from those of later generations. The coastline of later generations extended further.
Therefore, Wang Yu said that the map can only be used for reference, which is definitely not modest.
Of course, this reason cannot be given. In the face of everyone's expectant eyes, Wang Yu made nonsense: "When I was a child, I met a Taoist priest. He taught me many things, including this map and the directory... Then
Who is the Taoist priest? Then how do I know? He didn't say... In short, this is the truth of the matter. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."
"..." Everyone was speechless.
"..." They looked at each other in confusion.
"So that's it, my lord, you are indeed the one destined by fate, and you have been enlightened by the gods!" Only Taishi Ci suddenly realized.
"Really? It's best if you understand..." Wang Yu patted his confidant on the shoulder with great relief. He is a close friend.
"Then my lord, what did you promise me?" Tai Shici asked again.
"Get on the boat as a whole team!" Wang Yu waved his hand: "Come here, play some music, I am going to compose a poem and act with righteousness as a strong man!"
"Here!"
"When..." In the fierce wind, the music of the chimes became longer and longer;
"Dong, dong..." Accompanied by the rhythm of the huge waves, the sound of war drums sounded;
"Woo, woo, woo..." the horn sounded long, pushing the atmosphere of generous travel to its peak.
Wang Yu climbed to the top of the mountain, his energy was flowing into his Dantian, and a famous poem was about to come out!
"To the east, I made a stone to look at the sea.
The water is still sluggish, but the mountains and islands are standing tall.
There are many trees and lush grass.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising.
If the journey of the sun and the moon comes out of it;
The stars are as brilliant as if they came from within.
Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition!"
This song "Looking at the Sea" was originally written by Cao Cao in the 12th year of Jian'an when he climbed the Jieshi Mountain during his northern expedition to Wuhuan and returned in triumph. It expresses his heroic ambition and the atmosphere of this scene at this moment is exactly the same.
The fit is just fine.
Wang Yu sang generously, and within a few words, everyone was infected by the heroic spirit and sang in unison.
The bells add color to it;
The sound of drums strengthens its sound;
The sound of the trumpet will be engraved in history!
After Wang Yu recited it once, the music kept rising, soaring high into the clouds! The people who shouted in harmony were no longer limited to the civil and military officials, the escorting sergeants, the relatives and friends seeing off, and even the 350 people who had already boarded the boat.
Warriors, at this moment, we are singing with one voice!
The sound of music fills your heart!
The song penetrates the clouds and cracks the rocks!
The sails are rising like red clouds, unfolding in the wind, blowing fiercely in the north wind!
The boat moves forward proudly like a sharp arrow, cutting through the waves, singing loudly and moving forward indomitably!
In the long song, the fleet gradually moved away, towards the depths of the sea and the sky, the vast and unpredictable distance, taking the first step of the Han Dynasty to forge ahead and dominate the world. (To be continued...)
