Chapter 429: Andalas Island
The 100 warships of the Han Dynasty left the east coast of Laiya and went south along the east coast of the Kra Isthmus, and the next plan was to pass through the Pizong Strait, all the way northwest into the Body Poison Ocean, and then pass through the Body Poison Ocean to reach the Body Poison Continent in the South Asian subcontinent!
In addition to carrying 10,000 sailors, these 100 warships did not carry marine soldiers and baggage.
The original plan was for the fleet to bypass the Pizon Strait and anchor at the west coast of Kra Isthmus, which is also the west coast port of Reyya, and then the marines and colonial Hans-Mins would board the ship again and load supplies onto the ship at the same time.
Doing so saves a lot of resources, and it also saves the Marines and Hermes-Epitek from having to travel some distance on warships.
There were 50,000 Han troops in total, including 10,000 naval troops, 10,000 marine cavalry, 20,000 marine infantry, and 10,000 marine logistics troops.
Since there are 10,000 naval troops, these 10,000 naval troops are on battleships and will not land to fight, so there are only 40,000 people who have landed in the Han army. Of the 40,000 Han Army, 10,000 are logistical, so the number of landing personnel who can really carry out operations is 30,000.
In addition to the 50,000 Han troops, including 10,000 sailors and 40,000 marines, there were also 50,000 Han people who went to sea to colonize.
Liu Xie's current plan to conquer the world is basically based on cultural output, population export (integration), and industrial output, followed by military force.
Conquest does not mean aggression, and Liu Xie does not want to invade, including Wadao, Northeast Asia, and Funan, all of which were conquered in a semi-peaceful way, and the people in these places also sincerely obeyed the Han Dynasty!
After subjugating the Han Dynasty, the local people can really get unexpected benefits, first of all, they have enough food and clothing, everyone is equal, they are no longer enslaved, their income increases, and their lives are convenient.
Therefore, wherever the Han army went, it was basically able to look at the wind and surrender.
In addition, in the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of the world was basically very high, and many places were very empty.
For example, in the Americas, two continents of this size, there is no decent country, basically there are scattered tribes scattered all over the place, so Pang Tong and Lu Su, who colonized the Americas, their work there is very good, and it is easy to get along with the local natives.
But the next target is different, body poison, like Huaxia, is one of the four ancient civilizations, with a long history, a vast land, and a perfect civilization and national system.
This conquest may be met with stubborn resistance, making it a veritable war of invasion and counter-invasion.
Therefore, Liu Xie has not been in a hurry to go to the body poison, he has been in the Funan Peninsula for more than half a year, and Laiya has stayed for half a year, in addition to local construction and armament construction, in fact, he is also waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Before the conquest of Wajima, Goguryeo and Fuyu, all because of the existence of a big boss ghost car, even in Funan, there is a modern military base for ghost cars.
So he also hopes that the ghost car will appear in the body poison this time, and he will have an excuse to destroy the ghost car as a reason to conquer the body poison by the way.
However, many scouts were sent, but they did not find out the whereabouts of the ghost car.
And there is a sub-task of conquering the body poison in the system task, Liu Xie really can't wait any longer, there are many other sub-tasks in the future, so he led the army to the body poison!
On this day, on the west coast of Laiya, the Han fleet of 100 warships had bypassed the Kra Isthmus and passed through the Pizon Strait to the west coast.
The port was noisy, and thousands of people gathered at the port to see off the Han army and pioneers who were marching westward.
The send-off procession included local people and immigrants from the Han Dynasty, who were basically the builders of Laiyiya City and the Laiyiya Canal and their families.
On the port, Hera couldn't go with him, so he saw him off, and in reluctance, Hera said: "Your Majesty went to poison this time, and I don't know how long it will take to return it." ”
Liu Xie said: "The body poison is different from other places, it is a continent with a vast land and a large population, and it has a very powerful country: the Baicheng Dynasty!" It will be more difficult for me to conquer it than ever before! Therefore, this expedition is possible for as little as half a year, as long as five or six years, or even more than ten years. ”
Liu Xie expressed his worries, and also told the fact that in the countries adjacent to the Han Dynasty, if there is no high-tech support, it is true that only the body poison can match the Han Dynasty.
The Baicheng Dynasty, a unified feudal kingdom on the Poison Continent, has a history of more than 3,000 years of civilization (with the Eastern Han Dynasty as a time reference).
The predecessor of the Baicheng Dynasty was the Mauryan Dynasty, which was a powerful slave kingdom, and after the fall of the Mauryan Dynasty, the Baiyan Dynasty rose and continued to grow.
The northwest adjacent to the Baicheng Dynasty is the world-famous Kushan Empire, with a population of 8 million, which is also a very powerful force.
But now Liu Xie's first solution is the poisonous Hundred Vehicles Dynasty.
Liu Xie said to Hera: "Concubine Ai lives in peace in Laiyiya, and when she gives birth to a child, I will send someone to protect you." ”
Liu Xie bid farewell to Hera and many others who came to see him off, and boarded the flagship Galaxy 1. At the same time as the soldiers and pioneers boarded the ship, Liu Xie held a meeting on the flagship.
The commander of the fleet who commanded the voyage this time was Gan Ning, and since the return of Eastern Wu, Gan Ning, who was still very proud, has also been completely obedient, and many years have passed.
At the meeting, Liu Xie asked: "When you came from the Pizong Strait, did you find any people from Baicheng?" ”
The Baicheng Dynasty that Liu Xie said in his mouth naturally refers to the Baicheng Dynasty, and the Baicheng Dynasty is the largest country on the Poison Continent.
Gan Ning said: "Your Majesty, everything is right for you, you see ......"
Gan Ning said and came to the hanging large map money, pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty, you see this is the Pizon Strait, the one on the right side of the strait is the southernmost part of the Kra Isthmus, and on the left side of the strait is the island of Andalas in the Java archipelago, this island is very large, in addition to the natives of the Java archipelago, there are also hundreds of colonists. ”
The Kra Isthmus stretches to the southeast, and at the end of this isthmus is a relatively prominent peninsula that looks like a mango hanging from the Funan Peninsula.
Therefore, the land that extends from the Kra Isthmus where the country is located is also called "Namuen", which means "mango" in Funan language.
However, in the half year that the Great Han Dynasty conquered the Kra Isthmus, Duwu had also been subordinated to the Han Dynasty and was planned under the territory of the Kra Kingdom.
And the Andalas Island that Ganning refers to is actually today's Sumatra.
Ganning continued: "The colonists of Baicheng were basically in the northwest and southwest of Andalas Island. ”
