Chapter 52: Zhang Mo Goes to the Wa Kingdom
The envoys of the Wa Kingdom had seen it at the celebration banquet in 184, and I had not heard of any envoys from the Wa Kingdom since then.
Don't look at the Wa Kingdom is not too far from China, the key is not only to pass through Tsushima Island to reach the land of Sanhan in this year, and then can enter Liaodong to go to Luoyang, this time to go, it is a year's time. However, the rewards given by the Han Dynasty are very valuable, which can be used to attract local natives and improve their own cultural and industrial level.
Taking the opportunity to acquire a batch of Qi practice methods is also something that the Japanese people will inevitably do. At the same time, the Taoist people who have mastered the Dao method, those guys of the Taoists, also hope to buy some, and the two sides can be regarded as interconnected.
"Xu Fu's legacy of the pre-Qin Taoism...... Speaking of which, Lei Fa is just a remnant, and there is nothing left to practice in the drama Zhicai! Li Ming weighed it carefully, and the copy of the Wa Kingdom might be considered to be brushed up.
The main trophy is a large number of Taoist books, and the key is that it can completely enslave or even exterminate this nation, which is not bad. Naturalization is also possible, but it is necessary to migrate the whole people to the land of China, and the lack of supervision and long-term isolation overseas, once the domestic turmoil immediately relapses, perhaps ethnic extermination is the most convenient way to deal with it.
The key is that the remnants of the South Vietnamese Kingdom are likely to have gone to the Wa Kingdom. No one knows whether they will establish the Yue Kingdom from scratch in the Wa Kingdom. In the end, he took a group of widows and killed them directly. Besides, even if they didn't have this idea, they would have taught them the skills of shipbuilding, and it would have become easier for the Japanese to travel to and from China.
Seriously, there is still plenty of room for the Japanese people to live in these years, and there are not many people on Honshu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido islands. In addition, even on the island of Kyushu, the Japanese people are mainly active in the north, and there is still a very generous living space in the south.
Li Ming couldn't figure out why Emperor Jimmu had to go east, and it was clear that the southern ones had not been thoroughly developed. Emperor Jimmu seems to be Himiko's grandson...... Anyway, did Himiko get married? I don't know if Shenwu's father was born?
"Absolutely not!" Li Ming called Guo Jia and others over, and he said that he planned to go to the Wa Kingdom, who knew that as soon as he said it, one or two ran up and shouted, and made a gesture of dying admonishment.
"The reaction was so big?" Li Ming was also taken aback by them, and only felt that they were making a little fuss.
"Family master, this matter is not negotiable." Zhang Mo sighed at the signal of the others, and then stepped forward, "This time is different from the past, you have a big family now, what if something happens?" Besides, the weather on the sea is unpredictable, even Jiang Qin doesn't dare to leave too far, not to mention that there is no way to finish things for several months this time, could it be that all this military and political affairs have been put aside? ”
"The lord probably didn't want to, he went overseas for a few months, but when he came back, he found that the territory was gone, right?" Guo Jia said with a smile.
This matter is indeed a bit difficult, Li Ming does want to go to the copy of the Japanese Kingdom, but it is estimated that it is enough to let him leave for a few months. After all, there is no phone call these days, and you can understand the situation here no matter how far apart, if you come back and find that Liu Ting has unified China, then it is estimated that you will have to regret it.
"The remnants of the South Vietnamese Kingdom have just been put aside? When the time comes, they will grow stronger and stronger, and they will cross the ocean to take revenge, and we will not be caught off guard? Li Ming immediately complained.
"The head of the family, I remember that Jiang Qin reported a few times ago that he had already discovered two routes. One is to go to Jeju Island via Cheongju, then take Tsushima Island and enter Kyushu Island; Another route is to head north from Ishu, pass through the place called Ryukyu Island, and then go north step by step into Kyushu Island. Nowadays, there are our patrol fleets on both routes, and if the remnants of the South Vietnamese really go north, they will inevitably pass through a certain route, and our people will be able to find out at the first time. Now that they haven't reported the situation yet, it is unknown whether the remnants of the South Vietnamese Kingdom will go north, so why don't we wait a few more days to see? Zhang Mo proposed.
Li Ming felt that it made sense, but he didn't want Jiang Qin to send back the message two days later. One of the fleets patrolling the route north of Yanyishu to Kyushu lost contact, and at the same time, the wreckage of the ship's hull was found in the waters near the Ryukyus.
"It seems that they did go to the Wa Kingdom!" Li Ming was already sure of the whereabouts of the remnants of South Vietnam, so he summoned everyone over again and explained the matter to them.
"If the remnants of Nanyue really go to the Wa Kingdom, then compared to us, Yuan Shao and the imperial court are actually more nervous than us. might as well send someone over and discuss it with them......" Zhang Zhao felt that this matter could not be made by Li Ming's family.
"No!" Guo Jia shook his head, "This will expose the existence of troop carriers!" ”
Now Yuan Shao and the imperial court did not set their sights on the sea at all, and even the naval army was not formed. Yuan Shao was still very nervous about the naval army under Li Ming's command at first, but later saw that there were not many things that the ship could only transport, and the size of the fleet was not large, so he dispelled the idea of establishing a navy, and only did a good job of guarding the shore.
A troop carrier is a large transport vessel that can transport up to six hundred soldiers in the case of extreme transport. Under normal circumstances, it is more than enough to transport 500 soldiers and complete the landing combat mission. In the past two years, there have been six such ships, which can transport more than 3,000 soldiers to land and fight at a time, and in eastern Liaodong and even in western Liaoning, 3,000 elite troops can completely occupy the two counties.
At that time, not to mention the imperial court, Yuan Shao was only afraid that he would completely sever all trading relations with Li Ming. Even the construction of the navy has begun, so that the landing operation plan that was originally planned to be launched in June this year, that is, more than two months later, will be canceled.
Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Huang Xu, and Chen Heng have already prepared, and the early war horses have been transported to Jeju Island, and there are enough horses there to replace them. At the same time, Ren Jun had already prepared with 20,000 reclamation regiments, and as soon as the large army entered Liaodong County, the military cantonment work was quickly carried out, and the first batch of cold-tolerant wheat seeds had been put in place.
"Actually, there is no need to be in such a hurry, the remnants of South Vietnam have just gone to the Wa Kingdom. To conquer the natives, it is not an overnight thing to conquer the Yamatai Kingdom in the later period. Why didn't we finish the landing operation, stabilize the territory, and then arrange for an elite force to enter Kitakyushu from Liaodong through Tsushima Island? Xi Zhicai proposed, "It doesn't need much, as far as the strength of the Japanese people is concerned, the subordinates think that they only need to send out the guards, of course, it is best if they can move Hao Langdao to go over together." ”
"Why Hao Lang?" Li Ming looked at Xi Zhicai, and his eyes seemed to ask, 'Why not you'.
"Daoist Hao Lang has always hoped to have a stable, and the ecosystem is very stable, to build the Spirit Gathering Array. It is estimated that the lord of Huaxia will not agree, but in the Wa Kingdom, the problem is not big. No matter what else you do, you can't let the big demon fly over the sea and come to us for trouble, right? Xi Zhicai proposed, "At the same time, my subordinates hope that in the more than two months of the northbound mission, my subordinates can accompany the army as staff officers to give advice to General Xu Huang." ”
"I have a heart!" Li Ming looked at Xi Zhicai and nodded. It is said that it is a suggestion, but it may not be without the meaning of surveillance, and placing an absolutely loyal subordinate next to the expatriate general can be regarded as an insurance method.
"So, Zhang Mo, you have to get ready to go to sea!" Li Ming looked at Zhang Mo.
"After I go back, I will be scolded to death by Cai Yan......" Zhang Mo suddenly sighed, but he still gladly accepted his order.
