Gongsun Kang went to Yizhou (Taiwan) in February, when Liaodong was still snowy, but Taiwan had a temperature of about 20 degrees, which is still the time of the year when the temperature on the island is relatively low.

On the sea route from Wu County to Yizhou, the waves are calm and the waves are not prosperous. Gongsun Kang deliberately chose this point in time, if it was summer, it would not be like this.

If it is summer, sailing in the Taiwan Strait, with the navigation level of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Kang's fleet is likely to be wiped out and disappear into the belly of the fish.

The reason is that there are many typhoons passing through Yizhou Island, and the typhoon season is from June to September, with an average of three to four typhoons hitting Yizhou in summer and autumn every year. Typhoons provide abundant water to Yizhou, but due to the uneven spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall, it is prone to disasters such as floods and landslides.

Looking at the boundless waves, the sky and the water were blank, Gongsun Kang remembered the fashionable Taiwanese girls in later generations, as well as those snorting voices. Taiwan has not been liberated when it crosses, Sister Chiling is already old, right?

Speaking of Sister Chiling, Gongsun Kang had seen her in person in his previous life. It was in Yangcheng, a scorching hot summer. A Taiwanese clothing store opened, and Sister Chi Ling was invited to cut the ribbon. Gongsun Kang, as a passerby, happened to pass there. I saw Sister Chi Ling standing in front of the clothing store and being surrounded by everyone.

Compared with the images on TV and pictorials, either showing her thighs or showing her back, Sister Chi Ling wore very tightly that day, so tight that she couldn't even see the skin of her calves and arms.

At that moment, Gongsun Kang understood: the flesh of celebrities is not exposed casually. There are different dresses for different occasions. If you don't have enough money, you won't see even an inch of extra skin in such a public setting, even on a hot summer day.

So now in Yizhou, is there a beautiful girl?

Boy, you think too much!

Yizhou is in the southeast of Linhai County, and it is 2,000 miles to the county. The land is free of frost and snow, and the plants and trees do not die. On all sides are mountains, and all the mountains dwell. On the top of the mountain, there is the white shot by the king of Yue, which is a stone. Each of these names is the king, the land is divided, and the people are different, everyone has a head, and the ears are pierced, and the women do not have ears. As a room dwelling, planting wattles for the fertile. The land is fertile, and it produces both grain and fish. Uncles, aunts, sons, and fathers, men and women sleep in a large bed. When rendezvous, each does not avoid each other. It can be made of fine cloth, and it can also be used as a speck. Cloth carving, there is an article in it, so that it is also decorated.

Look at it, it's the uncivilized natives!

There are even more terrifying:

Such as chiseling teeth, "women are married, are missing to go to the front of the teeth", the Atayal people in northern Taiwan, until the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is still this style, young men and women fall in love, men and women "chisel the three teeth next to the jaw door to give women, women also chisel three teeth to pay men, a certain day, on the woman's room marriage, lifelong return".

Another example is headhunting, the warrior "fights the head, the head returns, the atrium is built with a large material, more than ten zhang high, and the head difference is hung up in order to get it, and it is not less than the years, showing its merits". The indigenous people of Taiwan have maintained this custom for a long time, "the head of the slaughtered person, the skin and flesh are dug up, the fat is boiled, the paste is painted, and the gold is smeared, and the high pavilion is hidden in the high pavilion, and the victory is more, which is called the heroic cloud."

Thinking of these records, Gongsun Kang smiled bitterly. If it weren't for Jiang's development of Taiwan, where would there be fashionable girls like Sister Chiling?

It took a month for the Liaodong Navy to find a sea route from Wujun to Yizhou, and the water patterns and reefs have been recorded. The next time I come, it is estimated that it will take half a month to arrive.

Gongsun Kang anchored in the northern part of Yizhou Island, later called Keelung Harbor. Because in memory, there is a deep-water pier here.

Tai Shi Ci sent a few small boats to explore the way, and found a port where a large ship of 2,000 stones could be berthed, and all the ships slowly docked up.

There are no indigenous tribes on the shore, which is a good thing. Gongsun Kang ordered to camp and rest. Although it was in the face of the natives, the soldiers were still meticulous. Drop the horses and dig trenches. Cut down trees and set up camps. The strength of many people is great, the division of labor and cooperation, and it will be done in an hour.

In later generations, Taiwan's forest area accounted for about 52% of the entire territory; In the Han Dynasty, it was simply full of deep forests, and the most important thing was wood; Only 25% of Taiwan's land is suitable for farming, and the rest is mountainous and hilly. It's very similar to Samhan's environment.

The next day, Gongsun Kang left only a few sailors to guard the camp and ships, and the rest of the soldiers were led by a thousand commanders to capture the natives.

Gongsun Kang planned to establish the city of Keelung first, which would serve as the basis for Qiao Rui's rule over Yizhou. This Keelung city also does not need a city wall. But the houses in the city need to be built by the natives.

Taiwan has abundant hydropower, forest, and fishery resources, but other natural resources are limited, and only a small amount of coal and natural gas are produced by itself. Metallic minerals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron are also scarce, and are mainly stored in the volcanic rock areas of the north and the central mountain range.

Therefore, there is no need for natives to mine, only for them to build houses, build roads, farm land, and fish. In addition, it is to build a large marina. Gongsun Kang plans to build two world-class marinas on the two sides of Yizhou Island, namely Keelung and Kaohsiung. to serve as a base for his conquest of Southeast Asia.

Taiwan is located in the tropics, rich in rice, two to three crops a year, good rice quality, high yield. It is also possible to grow cane sugar and tea, vegetables, fruits, flowers. These Gongsun Kang have all made plans and are ready to hand them over to Qiao Rui for execution.

Yizhou has abundant fresh water resources: abundant rainfall has created good conditions for the development of rivers on the island, and there are 608 large and small rivers that flow into the sea alone, and the water potential is turbulent, there are many waterfalls, and the water resources are extremely rich. Digging some canals, building some waterwheels or anything is definitely not a problem.

In short, Yizhou must first be self-sufficient, and cannot transport grain from the mainland; Further, it was requested that food and other supplies could be replenished for the soldiers who went on overseas expeditions.

The first step may be a little more difficult and difficult, but Gongsun Kang is already ready to let Qiao Rui and 200,000 Japanese people eat fish and meat for a year. In order to preserve food in the hot climate, the residents of Yizhou marinated the fish meat in large clay pots, which were not only used as delicacies for themselves, but also used to entertain guests. To follow the local customs, you must learn the diet of the indigenous people of Yizhou, so that you can overcome the unsuitability of the water and soil and take root.

Because of the frequent earthquakes in Yizhou, it is not possible to build high-rise houses, and at the current level, it is enough to build wooden houses, and the winter in the south is not cold anyway. In order to isolate the dampness, Gongsun Kang chose a stilted building. The first floor is hollow, and the high hanging ground is not only ventilated and dry, but also can prevent poisonous snakes and beasts, and sundries can also be placed under the floor slab.

Leaving Xun You to guard the camp, Gongsun Kang took Xi Zhicai and 1,000 personal soldiers to capture the natives. The main thing is that he himself wants to see what the Taiwanese indigenous tribes are like in this era.

Before everyone set off, they divided the area on the map so that there would be no omissions or duplications. As for failure? The Liaodong soldiers didn't think about it at all. Will it fail against primitive people with wooden sticks and stone axes?

Gongsun Kang and his 1,000 soldiers all rode horses and went on expeditions overseas, and it was inconvenient to carry grain and grass, so the 20,000 naval army and the 9,000 Sanhan Eight Banner Army did not ride horses. The whole army, no more than 2,000 people on horseback. It took them half a day to come to the designated area, which was also the outermost area.

It is a hilly area with undulating terrain. As luck would have it, it didn't take long to find that there was a tribe on a low hill.

Gongsun Kang looked through the binoculars, and the tribe was all low grass houses, and the residents had yards, and thorny thorns were planted between the yards, and the thorns were used as courtyard walls.

There are several families, and there are wooden poles several zhang long erected in the courtyard, and several or a dozen human heads are hung on the wooden poles. The flesh of the human head has been dug up, boiled and anointed, and coated with golden lacquer. It seems that this is the residence of the tribal chiefs and tribal warriors.

There were men coming and going in the small courtyard, all of them shaved some of their hair, like the heads of the steppe nomads. They also all had piercings on their ears and wore a few earrings, and it was not known if the earrings were metal or bone. The natives of Yizhou, who also drifted from the mainland, must have some copper and iron products, but there should not be too many.

It is recorded: "There are tens of thousands of families in the world, and the people on them sometimes go to the customs cloth, the people of the East County of the Huiji, and the people who are moved to Bozhou by the wind." "Being able to reach Huiji County shows that Yizhou's navigation level is okay. If you can buy cloth, then you can buy ironware.

And Lu Xun and Quan Cong once said: "Its people are like beasts, they don't get enough to help, and they don't have enough to lose the people." "It shows that Sun Quan's idea of plundering people from overseas is unreliable. And Gongsun Kang planned to use these savages as slaves on the spot and as laborers.
