Four hundred and thirty-five Jiaozhou Shixie
There are too many things in development, but in fact, Liu Zhang can't grasp everything. Of course, if there are not so many messy things, Liu Zhang feels that he can achieve very good results by stabilizing his own development for more than ten years. But in fact, I don't have too many ways to change, I really want to eat a fat man in one go, but if you want to change these places, you have to do it step by step.
It seems that the treasure ship has also lost money after coming out, but it is not a loss to give it to Zhou Yu. During the Chinese New Year, Liu Zhang drove his fleet towards Jiaozhou, and his envoy didn't know if he had arrived, but even if he arrived, it was difficult to pass on the news. However, according to the records, Shixie seems to have surrendered Sun Quan unconditionally?
The big boat sails on the waves, followed by a row of small boats. Gan Ning and Zhou Yu stood on both sides of Liu Zhang, and it was very interesting to talk about that Tai Shici. This person was unwilling to be loyal to Liu Zhang, but he was willing to stick to Wu County. Sun Ce was kind to him back then, Sun Quan surrendered, and Liu Zhang did not kill......
Tai Shici has the ability and responsibility of this person, but unfortunately this person takes kindness too seriously. Liu Zhang persuaded him, and Zhou Yu also persuaded him. He didn't blame Zhou Yu and the others, but he wanted to give Sun Ce three years to repay the kindness of that year. Three years later, after agreeing to follow Liu Zhang out of the mountain, Liu Zhang has no reproach for this kind of person, after all, a principled person is worthy of respect.
"Is the affairs of the lord in the north so laissez-faire?" Lu Su was actually very worried about the north, watching that Liu Bei became stronger and stronger, but Liu Zhang was not in a hurry at all.
Liu Zhang looked at the calm waves ahead, the sea was actually very dangerous. Telescopes are important, especially in the event of a tsunami. Anyway, this thing is easy to produce, and Liu Zhang is ready for mass production. In the future, fighting a war is already a crushing posture, even if others know about it in advance, it doesn't matter.
"Don't worry in the north, this time we will recover Shixie first. In the future, it will be the focus of our south, and it will not be inferior to Luoyang. I plan to hand it over to Bo Yan to manage, and after that, Bo Yan will follow me back to Chang'an, but I have to study the development of things. "Liu Zhang is still looking forward to Lu Xun, this person's methods are still very powerful.
Lu Xun hurriedly said: "Lord Lu Xun will definitely not live up to it." Liu Zhang took them with a sense of teaching by word and deed, and every time he said those questions, he couldn't help but give a few words.
Liu Zhang is actually quite relieved to come out this time. Ma Chao and the others were stationed in Jiujiang, so they didn't have to worry about Cao Cao and the others attacking them. It is estimated that this is the last trip to the south, and after it is over, it is time to free up his hands to kill Liu Bei. As for Cao Cao, it depends on whether he is well-behaved or not, if he is good, Liu Zhang might as well provoke him for the time being, and then recover the Southern Xiongnu.
Cao Cao is like a little white rabbit in a cage for Liu Zhang, and he can clean him up from that aspect and that point, and he doesn't have to worry about him at all. Immersed in the days of fear every day, how would Cao Cao feel? Anyway, Liu Zhang felt that if he was surrounded by people on all sides, he would be driven crazy sooner or later.
"The south of the lord is extremely wild, and we have to develop without decades without results? Northerners are not accustomed to the environment of the south, and they are prone to illness whenever they come here, which is very difficult for us to go south. Lu Xun still knows this, which is why the north has always been the focus, but the south is not.
"Why is this happening, I've compiled the books for you." Liu Zhang is not worried about this at all: "How far is it from Panyu, Nanhai County?" Although his big ship is sailing downwind, it is quite far away from here, and Liu Zhang doesn't know where he is in the wild environment.
A seafarer next to him stood aside and looked at the big man in a circle, and said a little tremblingly: "Your Excellency will take more than a day to reach Nanhai County, and your lord's ship will only take less than two days." The seafarers next to him have been working at sea all year round, and their bodies are tanned. But it was the first time they had seen such a big ship as Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang had a little headache: "In this case, let's go back and rest." Liu Zhang was still going to fish by the side of the boat, and there were soldiers casting nets behind him, and he could catch a lot of fish along the way. The feeling of driving on the sea is far more exciting than the feeling of being on the river. At the very least, it's a refreshing feeling to sail......
It's a pity that Liu Zhang is not interested in it at night, and Liu Zhang doesn't like to eat sashimi at all. However, Liu Zhang still likes grilled fish and stewed fish very much, and Liu Zhang has eaten a lot of seafood in the past six months. Because of the influx of sea salt, salt is not so precious, but the monosodium glutamate delivered to Chang'an is sold at a good price.
MSG greatly enhances the taste of food, and even half of the wild vegetables will taste a little better if you put some of them. It's a pity that because the production was very small at the beginning, only the wealthy families in Chang'an could use it. As soon as this thing appeared, it immediately became a money-making project in Shanghai. It can be said that the merchants who wait there every day have formed a long line, and kelp has become a relatively new type of demand item.
At night, it was impossible to sail, and the ship stopped at sea. The two-day voyage basically exhausted Liu Zhang's passion, but Liu Zhang saw a lot of coconut trees. There are many fruits in the south, but unfortunately there will be no fruits after the New Year. By the afternoon of the second day, Liu Zhang had seen a lot of islands, and he seemed to have entered Panyu (Guangzhou City) from Hong Kong.
There were also a lot of fishing boats on the road, and when they saw Liu Zhang's big boat from a distance, they immediately avoided it. Behind the big boats were a dozen or so small boats. It is said that it is small compared to Liu Zhang's big ship, but it is still too terrifying for the people here. Liu Zhang is still looking forward to his steel giant ship, which is what he really needs.
Passing through the mouth of the Pearl River all the way to Panyu, I saw the land in the distance at night. Liu Zhang's arrival disturbed the residents here, this place was already the most prosperous place in the south, but there was still a sense of wilderness. There were only some traces of human activity on the seaside, and Liu Zhang couldn't see it clearly when the sky darkened for a while.
I believe that Shi Xie also knew that he was coming, but he didn't know what he was thinking now. Maybe you want to see your own strength, or do you have other thoughts? But it was right that he didn't come out to see him so late, Liu Zhang knew that this person had a certain influence in the entire Jiaozhou, and what he said was definitely better than himself. It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhang takes a fancy to him. This will play a decisive role in ruling the whole of the South, and of course, no one can be sure that what is recorded in history will be correct, so we have to see how to do it.
The Central Plains here is too far away, I'm afraid that except for a few people who have great Han hearts, the rest of them have a feeling of being an emperor of the soil? Of course, to be himself, Liu Zhang also has this kind of thought. Of course, the feeling of the Earth Emperor is more comfortable than being restrained by people, not to mention that it is too far away from the center of the Great Han. It's been half a year since the decree arrived.
Liu Zhang thought a lot, but this person should be a self-aware person. This kind of deserted place is most suitable for guerrilla warfare, and if this person has a mind, Liu Zhang will still be difficult to do. At least when his army can't come, he can only give up here temporarily. However, I only want them to collect raw materials for themselves, or build ports or something. This is of great significance to my future arrival.
These people are too poor, and Liu Zhang doesn't expect any taxes here, nor does he expect them to pay for the construction of a dock or anything like that. Whether there is a tax here is still a problem, even if there was a before, it was difficult to collect, if it was in peacetime, it might be okay, but now it is really a bit difficult. Of course, if Shi Xie surrendered himself, then maybe it was still possible?
The sky is getting brighter, and the night's rest expels most of the fatigue, and the view of the sea and sky here is still good. When Liu Zhang got up early to wash, he saw a small boat coming in the distance. Compared to his own big boat, it is really a dilapidated fishing boat. Standing on the fishing boat stood an emaciated middle-aged man, looking to be in his thirties, perhaps only twenty-seven or eighteen. As he arrived, the surrounding soldiers were on alert.
Gan Ning got off the boat to take a look, Zhou Yu and the others were all by Liu Zhang's side. Liu Zhang felt that this Shixie was still quite visionary, and he brought people over so early. This person rushed from Cangwu County to Nanhai County, where he waited for his arrival. Glancing at Gan Ning and the others in the distance, Liu Zhang was almost finished. Before he could eat, Shi Xie had already come up.
"I've seen General Liu." Bending down and saluting Shi Xie, he was very shocked in his heart, he knew a little bit about the situation in the Central Plains. The young man in front of him is actually the most powerful? Judging from the territory alone, this one is definitely the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty.
The person in front of him did not lack etiquette because he was in such a wild area, and his scholarly temperament was still quite sufficient. This person does not seem to have been born in the Central Plains region: "Weiyan, you are a local? Liu Zhang doesn't remember it very clearly, and the people around him are even more unclear.
"Cangwu Guangxin people, I don't know why the general came from afar?" Shi Xie didn't know why Liu Zhang was here, and he didn't understand what was worth Liu Zhang's arrival. But when he saw the giant treasure ship, he inevitably felt a little abrupt in his heart, was this to attack them?
Not to mention anything else, this big ship alone is enough to show that Liu Zhang is very strong. As for the dozens of small ships in the back, they are only relative to this big ship, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of troops, right? If this were to attack them, it would be said that there was no power to resist. Don't think that they have any combat effectiveness, there are less than a few thousand soldiers who can really fight.
The combat effectiveness of the south is very poor, and if it were not for the terrain and environment, they would not be able to withstand the army of the north at all. The environment is the best weapon of destruction, but the arrival of these big ships directly overcomes this series of difficulties.
