2253 Underworld
The Yueshi people are in the area under their actual control. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Wang Ba and the others entered the actual control area of the Yueshi people with a reinforced platoon, and they wanted to find a tribe that was very friendly to the Qin people, and then they would fix it down and observe what they wanted to see.
"This is the actual control area of the Yueshi people, and it is safe here." Wang Ba said on horseback.
"Hmm." Zhou Gang and the others just looked at the surrounding terrain. Here mountains are connected to mountains. I can't see where the road is. Seeing this, Zhou Gang frowned.
"What's wrong?" Wang Ba came over and asked.
"The terrain here is too complicated. It was very difficult to develop, but this is the only place leading to the Yueshi people, and it is very difficult to build a railway. Zhou Gang said worriedly.
"You're studying military affairs, so you should see that the terrain here is very complicated." Zhou Gang said.
"Well, I know that, the road here is very difficult, not only because of that, but because it is mountainous, you have to take quite a detour here. This undoubtedly increases the time for transporting troops. In addition to these, there is ambush. Wang Ba looked at the mountains.
"If we build a railroad here, it's easy for the other side to attack, and our railroad is being built at the valley floor. And they just have to stay in the mountains. If we built it on a mountainside, it would have been much more difficult. I'm afraid no one wants to spend so much money on building such a railway. Wang Ba said.
"If the Yueshi people cooperate, it's okay, but if the Yueshi people don't cooperate, or if we can't go further in the future, this kind of terrain is for us. Very bad. From a military point of view. If we don't occupy this place, it will be difficult for us to move forward. Wang Ba said, looking at the complicated terrain around him.
"I'm more worried about the risks of investing here. There will be a lot of risks, and, in such a place, the construction of railways. and the economic value it brings. To be honest, it's not optimistic. If I were a banker, I would never have spent such money on the construction of these railways, plus the possibility of armed attacks. Call. Zhou Gang exhaled heavily.
"It's not optimistic." Zhou Gang said.
"If we have a lot of economic value to develop, I don't think that's a problem." Wang Ba said.
"Perhaps, but the first thing we need to consider is control of the region. If the security and environmental security issues are too big and the development costs increase, I don't think there will be people coming here to develop them, because there are a lot of people here. However, there are certainly few indigenous people in the area. Zhou Gang said.
"Along the way, all we saw were the shadows of the Yueshi people, plus the land here was barren." Zhou Gang shook his head and said.
"It's only suitable for grazing, a small part of the farming, other places. I don't know what else to say. At this time, Li Jing came over and said.
"Oh." Zhou Gang said.
"You say, what will happen if you go to the place of the Southern Mauryan Dynasty?" Zhou Gang asked.
"I don't know, we can only know when we get to the actual place." Li Jing said.
"However, in a place like that, agriculture is very developed, after all, plants need a lot of water." Li Jing said.
"Wait." At this time, Wang Ba asked Zhou Gang, Li Jing and others to stop. Wang Ba noticed that a group of people was walking towards them.
"All on alert." Wang Ba immediately ordered his people to be on guard, he was worried that the other party would not be good for him, although he did not know who the other party was.
"What's going on?" Li Jing asked worriedly.
"I don't know, someone is coming. Who knows who. Wang Ba said worriedly. Such talents are not something that the Qin army can afford to lose, and they have only entered the area controlled by the Yue people, and they have not yet reached their destination.
"Sir, it seems to be a slave, a whole bunch of slaves are coming towards us." A sergeant took the binoculars in his hand and looked at it.
"Slaves?" Song Shi said.
"Everybody's waiting." Wang Ba asked everyone to be careful. After waiting for a while, they finally saw clearly. It turned out to be a team of Yueshi people escorting a large group of slaves of the Mauryan Dynasty. Some of these slaves were dark-skinned, some were white-faced, and they appeared to be of two different races. They were very sparsely dressed, they looked very unaccustomed to the mountain climate, and some of them looked sick. Some walked extremely tired.
"These people may be the Mauryan people mentioned in our report." Li Jing said at this time.
"Hmm." Wang Ba looked at the slaves and nodded. It was the first time he had seen such a person, and there was nothing in his eyes except surprise. After all, these people are not worthy of pity.
"Wait. Can I buy several slaves? At this moment, Zhou Gang stood up and shouted loudly.
"Stop. Zhou Gang, what do you want to do? Wang Ba immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Stop, I want to buy some slaves." Zhou Gang continued to shout loudly. And the Yue people who were guarding looked nervously at the Qin people in front of them, they didn't understand what the Qin people said, not every Yue people could understand what they said.
"Qin Guoren, do you have anything to say?" At this moment, a young Yueshi man in his early twenties stood up and asked.
"You. Will you speak our words? Zhou Gang asked suggestively.
The young man looked back. The Yueshi people immediately relaxed.
"My name in Qin is Zhou Yue. Yue's people. Zhou Yue introduced.
"I learned the Qin dialect from one of your observers, in fact, I already knew a little bit before, and I learned some common words in trading from your merchants." Zhou Yue said.
"Hmm. My name is Zhou Gang. This is Wangba. Zhou Gang then introduced a few of his friends.
"Are these Mauryan prisoners of war, or slaves?" Zhou Gang asked excitedly at this time.
"The Mauryan Empire? What is that? Zhou Yue asked puzzled.
"This, isn't this a prisoner of war of the Mauryan Empire?" Zhou Gang then asked.
"Nope. I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about the Mauryan Empire? However, these people are indeed our prisoners of war. But our slaves. Zhou Yue said puzzled.
"Did they get it from the South?" Wang Ba asked concisely at this time.
"Yes. It was indeed obtained from the south. Zhou Yue said.
"However, we don't call them the Peacock Dynasty, we call them the Netherlands." Zhou Yue said.
"Netherworld?" Wang Ba and the others asked puzzledly.
