Chapter 240: Ryukyu
"I saved her in Tanzhou a few years ago? I don't remember it at all. Since Shun'er knows her, it's okay, but I didn't expect that a person who was saved casually at the beginning would now become the leader of Shanyue and fight a few battles with herself. ”
Li Hao couldn't help but sigh, who knew that he had saved a person, and he actually caused a big mess in Quanzhou Mansion, and finally came over to clean up the mess by himself.
When Wu Shun and Chen Sanniang came over to talk about it, Li Hao was sure that Chen Sanniang was the person he had saved, and the father and daughter were both saved by themselves. It's just that the eighteenth change of the female college has become thorough enough.
Lao Chen died in battle in the third year of joining the rebellion, and his original position was inherited by Chen Sanniang. In addition, when Chen Sanniang was treating in Tanzhou, Wu Shun told her some knowledge of curing, and Li Hao also gave her basic medical skills.
This woman had a high prestige in the rebel ranks, and then after Li Hao forced the Shanyue people together, a leader who knew medical skills became more and more important, so Chen Sanniang quickly sat on the position of the big leader.
"Sister Sanniang's life is not easy!" Wu Shun may have had a good relationship with Chen Sanniang before, and Wu Shun actually helped Chen Sanniang say good things in front of Li Hao.
"It's not easy for everyone these days." Li Hao shook his head and did not answer Wu Shun's words. Chen Sanniang is just a microcosm, and in the future, because of Li Er's several crusades, the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty will become more difficult. History records that the rule of Zhenguan is very good, but what is said is that the main body is good, and some things still exist.
Soon, the boat stopped at an island, which was not the main island of the Ryukyus. There is also a Penghu region between Ryukyu Island and Quanzhou Port, where the first Han people basically fished and dried salt, and then went further to Ryukyu Island. Also because of Li Hao, some things have changed.
There are people living here in the Penghu Islands, and there are still people farming here. It is also a transit point between Ryukyu Island and the port of Quanzhou. Those fleets heading north, if they don't go to Quanzhou Port to dock, will also stop here to rest and go north.
In addition, there is no indigenous influence on the Penghu Islands, in fact, the Penghu Islands have become a prosperous transit station. Li Hao: When they came over, there were quite a few foreign ships resting here.
Basically, they are all Hu people's ships, and these people don't go to Quanzhou Port to dock much now, and they are ready to continue north. After paying the toll here, they add a few things and continue north, so that they can earn more money.
"You left a few people behind, and then let the Quanzhou port help. This place, as well as the Quanzhou port opposite, and the place where we disembarked this time, according to the instructions on the drawings, built a lighthouse here. ”
Li Hao took a break here, and then introduced himself to the students around him. These people are going to work here, and after they get married in the future, if they want to live there, they just need to talk to Li Hao, and Li Hao will settle them down.
"Lang Jun, what's the use of this lighthouse?" Wu Shun and the others followed Li Hao's side, and asked curiously after listening to Li Hao's introduction to build this lighthouse. Li Hao generally doesn't do useless or meaningless things, everything he does has an effect.
"This has a great effect, and when there is wind and waves on the sea in the future, or when there is no star and moon, this lighthouse can become a sign of the direction of all ships at sea, which can be convenient for those ships that run to sea."
The lighthouse was built not only for those ships, but also for one's own fleet. The Far East Fleet is about to be launched, and ships will be arranged in Quanzhou Port and Guangzhou Port at that time, and these lighthouses are just as important to Li Hao.
After the Penghu Islands, Ryukyu Island is not far away. There are many more people on Ryukyu Island today than in the original history, and there are even more officers and soldiers stationed there. In addition to the thousands of people who had just been exiled by Li Hao and the Han people who had originally come over, they built earthen forts and walls near the port of Quanzhou, and then cultivated them, giving it the appearance of a small town.
"I've seen adults." When Li Hao docked, the official in charge here immediately ran over to greet him. Whoever made this place so big, Li Hao's fleet was so big, as soon as he came over, everyone here could see it. In addition to the officials, the children also ran over to watch.
Li Hao brought more than 500 people over, except for more than 300 soldiers and Wushun, the rest were all Li Hao's students. Some of these young people will remain here, and they will be the pioneers of Li Hao's footing on Ryukyu Island, and they will be responsible for investigating the geography and all the conditions here.
These young people are not the kind of scholars who are powerless, they are not left behind when they are learning, they are not left behind, everyone knows some basic survival skills, and the three hundred soldiers led by Li Hao will also be handed over to them to lead after Li Hao leaves the Ryukyus, which is used to ensure their safety.
"We're going to stay here for a while, you can make some arrangements." Li glanced at the official who received him, and then asked him to arrange it. Li Hao's people also brought their own camping things, and they will go deep into the middle of Ryukyu Island this time.
After going ashore and resting for a night, Li Hao took these people and prepared to set off along the route he had arranged earlier. Several girls followed, and this time Li Hao asked them to stay on the boat, and they didn't do it, which made Li Hao feel a headache.
However, there are not many natives on this Ryukyu Island, basically a tribe of about 1,000 people, and the pressure is not great for the regular combat troops with hundreds of people on Li Hao's side, not to mention that they also brought some killing weapons to defend themselves, and the Ryukyu side also sent soldiers to follow.
It's just that to Li Hao's surprise, their people haven't set off yet, and when they first receive the news of Youshengfan's invasion, Li Hao's exploration action stopped, and then went to the military camp here.
"My lord, there are people here who were attacked by Shengfan when they were trading with the local people in the past, what should we do?" After the person in charge here saw Li Hao coming, he hurriedly reported everything to Li Hao.
There are Shengban on Ryukyu Island.,Everyone knows this.,But in addition to Shengfan.,There are people who aren't of other races.。 Li Hao banished those merchants from Quanzhou Port to this side, but he didn't expect these people to quickly open up the situation on Ryukyu Island again.
They took advantage of the fact that some Yi people got along well with the Han people, and then established trade relations with those Yi people, and further influenced those Yi people to slowly get closer to the Han people, this unexpected change was unexpected by Li Hao.
"Call those people over to me first, and I'll find out what's going on." These people seem to be very good at dealing with the Yi people, when they were in Quanzhou Port before, they got along well with the Shanyue people, but they didn't expect that after being banished here by Li Hao, these people actually mixed with the Yi people here, which made some of Li Hao's arrangements seem to have some more changes.
"I've seen adults." Soon the people who were asked by Li Hao to come over came to the barracks here, and these people looked worried, with a trace of indignation in their hearts. They have already been punished for their mistakes in Quanzhou, so should they be punished for trading with the natives in the Ryukyus?
"Sit down." The look on Li Hao's face looked very kind, and he didn't mean to kill all these people. "I did it to you in Quanzhou Mansion before, and it was because the military order was in place, and I wanted to subdue the rebellious Shanyue people. When you come to the Ryukyus, there are no rebels here, so naturally I won't do anything to you. ”
"I came to you this time mainly to learn about the situation on this Ryukyu Island. The imperial court wanted to set up a government office on this Ryukyu Island, and it was also necessary to vigorously develop this area. You have a good relationship with the Yi people here, so there are some things that need your help. ”
"If the matter on Ryukyu Island is successfully resolved this time, I can promise you that your status as prisoners will be revoked, you and your family can vigorously develop on this Ryukyu Island, and the government will even provide you with some convenience."
After Li Hao's words were finished, all the people in the room were stunned. Who Li Hao is, after such a long time, they are generally clear through other channels. In addition to trading with the Shanyue people before, they did not support this new Shangguan in some things, so they ended up like this.
Now Li Hao's words are a new opportunity for them to choose, and if they choose wrong, they may end up worse than before, "We are willing to do things for the government, please ask your lordship to give us." ”
These people are a lot more well-behaved now, they are fish and meat now, Li Hao is a knife warrior, and he has no choice. They know a lot of the Eyi people on Ryukyu Island, but they don't have many contacts. One is that the road is too far, and the other is that there is still life in the middle, so their current trade is with the Pingba people who are not far away.
There are many people in Pingba, and they are divided into several tribes. The business of the people of Pingba is relatively easy to do, and the distance of fifty miles can be gone one day and back the next day. The deer skin, deer antler, musk, deer blood and preserved venison of the Pingba people are all valuable and good things, and they sell iron tools and salt from the craftsman village, and they have double the profit back and forth.
For these nimble merchants, they were the first to participate in this trade, and the other Han people here followed suit. They made a lot of money some time ago, but this time they have to lose a lot because of the previous battle report.
The chieftain of a small tribe on the other side of Pingba ran to report that the Han people here followed the caravan of their clan back to the port, and encountered an attack by the Shengfan people on the way, and those Han caravans and several other Pingba people were captured!
"Call that Yi chieftain here, I'm going to ask him." After getting to know his own people, Li Hao immediately asked the chief who came to report the news to also be brought over. Li Hao has always heard about the Shengfan, and it is said that many of the Han people who came here to reclaim in the early days were killed by those Shengfan.
