Liu Yi has not had a good get-together with Gan Ning, the big brother, this time, everyone let go to drink, while listening to Gan Ning this time leading the New Han Army to the north of the Liaodong Peninsula, and then cooperating with Gongsun Chan and Gongsun Du to attack Wuhuan King Louban and so on, talking about the recent attack on the Goryeo Peninsula.

Gan Ning's interest was very high, because, whether it was attacking Wuhuan Louban or attacking Goryeo, for him, this was a foreign war in the true sense, not a battle against those princes in his own Han territory. Although these are also wars, but, as Liu Yi once told them. In the territory of the Han Dynasty, the Han people fight the Han people, no matter how they fight, they are all considered to be fighting behind closed doors by their own brothers, no matter who wins the battle, it is not necessarily how glorious it is. Only by fighting against foreign races, attacking foreign races outside the Han Dynasty, opening up territory for the Han Dynasty, and laying an immortal territory for the Han Dynasty, can this be truly glorious and glorious.

This concept was instilled in Liu Yi to the generals below very early, so whenever it was time to attack a foreign race, the generals of the New Han Army were very excited.

Gan Ning had the experience of following Liu Yi on his expedition to the Wa Kingdom, and he was excited about his experience in the Wa Kingdom. Because when he was in the Wa Kingdom, he could ignore nothing and kill those barbaric Wa people who were shameful to the world and ugly and wicked, and he had no psychological burden at all. It's better that among the big Hans, when the people he kills are Han people who are similar to himself, he will always feel soft in his heart, and he will not kill happily enough.

That, speaking of which, what makes the soldiers of the New Han Army feel the most happy is that in the Japanese country, they can "do whatever they want", kill all those Japanese people, and rob all their women. As long as it is not against humanity, they can do it in the Wa Kingdom.

Gan Ning was itchy about the fact that Lu Bu and Chen Gong led a new Han army and naval army to kill the Japanese State a month or two earlier, and he complained a little about why Liu Yi didn't send him there, if it wasn't for the fact that he was too far away from Luoyang in Goryeo and didn't ask Liu Yi for his life in time. He was afraid that he would have asked Liu Yi for his life and asked to be killed in the Wa Kingdom, even if it was for Lu Bu's lieutenant general, he was willing.

Of course. There are also military generals such as Zhao Yun who have this idea, but Gan Ning is happy that he can follow Liu Yi to the South Seas.

In fact, Liu Yi did think about letting Zhao Yun go with him, but considering the war in the Central Plains and the war in Yizhou and Hanzhong. Especially after figuring out that the governor of the three armies in Yizhou turned out to be Liu Bei, Liu Yi felt that it would be better to send one more general to lead the army to attack. Although Zhang Fei said that he could handle the war in Yizhou, Liu Yi could also see that Zhang Fei had emotional problems.

However, Liu Yi did not tell Gan Ning about these things.

Three days later, Liu Yi, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and naturally Gan Ning's original leader of the 12 zodiac Jinfan thieves, who is now the chief general of the First Army of the New Han Army, went to seven of them together, all of whom were Liu Yi's old acquaintances. There are also a number of generals of the New Han Army who were promoted by military merits.

There are also Yuan Qing, Yin Xiao, and Huang Wudie. These three daughters went to Nanyang with Liu Yi.

This time. It's just that the situation of exploring Nanyang is similar to the situation when Liu Yi led the navy to the Wa Kingdom, so he didn't bring the ministers and civil officials with him.

Guo Jia and Zhou Shang and other civil and military teams came to see each other off.

Liu Yi transferred Guo Jia back to Dongting Lake Xinzhou, asked him to wait for Zhao Yun in Dongting Lake Xinzhou, and led the army to attack Yizhou with Zhao Yun. There are enough advisers in Jiangdong, and there is no need for Guo Jia to preside over the overall situation in the Jiangdong region. Over the years, Guo Jia has stayed in Jiangdong because not long after Sun Ce's son returned to the New Han Dynasty, there was an important minister around Liu Yi who presided over Jiangdong. It would be better. Now, Liu Yi doesn't think that Sun Ce still has any different intentions, so there is no need to let Guo Jia stay in Jiangdong. Staying in Jiangdong for a long time will make Jiangdong's civil and military feel that Liu Yi doesn't trust them very much.

There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the cloud tent will be in the sea.

Even though Liu Yi had already had the experience of taking a boat from Qu'a to the sea, after many years, he once again went to the boundless deep sea of Linhaohan. still makes Liu Yi feel broad-minded and bright-eyed.

The warships of the New Han Army are constantly changing, and after a lapse of three years, the sea ships that are now reproduced and manufactured are no longer pursuing the size of their hulls, but are pursuing more stable keys and speeds, as well as storm resistance.

The largest warship still can carry about 2,000 people, and it is still a five-masted ship, with a five-story building. However, a pedal-pedal runner paddle was added to speed up the ship in a short time, and a long oar was added to control the speed and direction of the ship. After hanging the sails, the sea ship can travel thousands of miles a day, and it is more conducive to actual combat.

In addition, on the hull, equipped with iron guards, even if there is no iron guard, but also added a special layer of cowhide, the bow is equipped with ploughshare-shaped iron horns, if you add sails, manpower pedal runner paddle acceleration, and oar control, the warship can directly adjust the direction, at a very fast speed, can sink the enemy ship with impact force.

Many of the setups are new ships that have been modified based on the empirical data gained from the previous expedition to the Japanese Kingdom.

This is a new sea ship that Liu Yi decided to transform after the experience of going to sea last time, as well as the specific shipbuilding technology of this era, and after discussing with a group of shipbuilding experts such as Hong Ying and Jiang Liang.

It was also Liu Yi who took into account that with the shipbuilding technology of the Three Kingdoms era, it was not possible to build those sea ships that needed to be driven by power in later generations, so he could only work the existing shipbuilding technology and how to transform the current sea ships to make the sea ships more solid and able to resist sea storms.

More than 200,000 naval forces of the New Han Army dispatched nearly 50 large sea ships, hundreds of small and medium-sized warships, with the army as a unit, each army, about five large sea ships, and nearly 100 small and medium-sized warships assault boats to escort them, floating mightily on the boundless sea, announcing the advent of the era of great exploration in this era.

This, or Lu Bu and Chen Gong led more than 200,000 sailors and most of the ships of the sea to conquer the Wa Kingdom, otherwise, hundreds of thousands of New Han army sailors went to sea together, and the scene would be even more spectacular.

In the past few years, Qu'a's new shipyard has made so many large warships at full capacity, and now the warships that remain to patrol the Yangtze River basin and stay in several inland lakes such as Dongting Lake are all warships made in the shipyard in Dongting Lake Xinzhou a few years ago.

In addition, the two shipyards are developing larger transport sea vessels, which Liu Yi does not require to have much combat strength, but only to be able to resist storms in the sea. It is not easy to sink ships, and it can also increase the volume of transportation, including the ability to transport a large number of war horses.

From the Yangtze River port, that is, Hangzhou Bay in later generations. Bypassing Zhoushan Island, we drove at full speed and sailed along the coastline all the way to the South China Sea.

In just over a day, the fleet sailed close to the Taiwan Strait in the future. The current Ryukyu Strait.

Anchoring the ship near the shore for the night, Liu Yi looked in the direction of Ryukyu from afar, and finally suppressed the urge to lead the army to board the Ryukyus and return to the Han territory. This Taiwan Island, which has been Chinese since ancient times, has been lonely in later generations and has not been able to return to the embrace of China, which has become a regret for countless Chinese people. Returning the Ryukyus to the territory of the Han Dynasty would be a very glorious and accomplished thing for Liu Yi.

But Liu Yi knew that in this life, no one would be able to carve Ryukyu out of the map of China, and no one would dare to challenge the authority of the Han Dynasty. The former aggressor. In this life, it will inevitably be annihilated in the world, and there will never be that ugly race again.

This is also the main reason why Liu Yi has always been so obsessed with subduing Lu Bu and letting Lu Bu lead the New Han Army and the Navy to conquer the Wa Kingdom.

Because whether it is Pai Ganning or Zhao Yun, or Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and other super fierce generals, it is difficult for them to do it too thoroughly. Don't look at Dian Wei evil, Xu Yuyong, often shouting about how to do it, but if you really want to let them do that genocide. They're going to have a hard time getting there.

Don't talk about them, even if it's Liu Yi, in the face of those Japanese people who can't be exterminated even though they are disgusting, but. When they no longer have the strength to resist and kneel on the ground and cry and beg for mercy, Liu Yi will also be unbearable, unable to do anything, and unable to give orders. Only the fierce god Lu Bu can really succeed.

Kill the Huns and flee the flying general. A generation of war gods is not bragged about, but killed with a knife and a shot. This is the clearest Gao Shun who has followed Lu Bu.

The coast where the overnight berth was close to Fuzhou and other places in later generations, but the army did not need to get off the ship for the night, and the military rations used by the 200,000 troops on the ship had already been prepared on the warship, which was enough for the army for two or three months.

Early the next morning, the army continued to set off along the coastline, crossing the Taiwan Strait and entering the South China Sea.

Although Liu Yi has a world satellite map of the map of later generations, Liu Yi has never been to sea before, of course, even if he has been to sea, he does not know the route. In the middle of the ocean, it's easy to get lost, even with a compass. Therefore, it is better to sail along the coastline, first establish a relatively safe navigation route, and then establish a route that can directly pass through the South China Sea when the conditions are ripe in the future.

The huge fleet of the New Han Army's naval army sailed south on the coastline visible to the naked eye, and along the way, it alarmed many people living along the coastline, but in this era, the population of the south was indeed small, especially the population of the Han people. It can be said that before the Great Qin unified China, the Han people in the Lingnan area were almost nothing, and at most some people from the Central Plains fled to Lingnan. Most of the people living in the Lingnan area are some indigenous people and aliens.

Later, the Qin Emperor sent 500,000 troops into Lingnan and never returned, and then after the rule of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, after three or four hundred years of reproduction, the Han slowly occupied the main ethnic position in the coastal area of Lingnan.

So, although it alarmed some people now, it didn't cause much commotion.

When passing through the Pearl River port, Liu Yi finally resisted the urge to lead the army to kill it. Head straight to the Leizhou Peninsula.

Another day, the Xinhan army passed through the Leizhou Strait and entered the Beibu Gulf.

Lewy headed for rubber trees and sweet potatoes.

However, Liu Yi didn't know whether the Nanyang region already had these two materials in the Han Dynasty.

The encyclopedia of solar mobile phones is actually not complete, and it is even more impossible for Liu Yi to search the Internet of later generations and find out the information. If it weren't for the little starlet who happened to be filming a movie on the Three Kingdoms issue, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so much information about the Three Kingdoms on my mobile phone.

Lewi really didn't know that rubber trees are actually native to the western region of the Marayae in the Amazon basin of Brazil and other countries such as Peru and Colombia, that is, rubber trees, at the beginning, were only found in South America. And, in South America, it is called the "weeping tree" by the Indians. It was regarded as a treasure and a precious item by the Indians, and it was very well guarded.

It was not until 1873 and 1877 that it was transplanted from South America to England and then to Singapore, that is, the South Seas. Therefore, if Liu Yi wants to look for rubber trees in Nanyang now, I am afraid that he will really return in vain.

But Liu Yi, who was still unaware of the situation, was still preparing to look along the coastline of the northern coast of Vietnam to the south in later generations.

In fact, in Liu Yi's heart, he was not confident that he would find such an important material. However, for sweet potatoes, Liu Yi was a little mentally prepared, because in his impression, the red book seemed to be transplanted from Nanyang, and if he couldn't find it, Liu Yi was also mentally prepared.

But Liu Yi still came, this, mainly a story that Liu Yi had heard, and he suspected in his heart that sweet potatoes were originally something in Nanyang. In this way, he did not hesitate to mobilize the crowd to Nanyang to find it.

Among the stories that Leo Yi has heard, there is one about sweet potatoes, which is a little different from the origin of sweet potatoes recorded in history.

Historically, the description of sweet potatoes should have been introduced to Middle-earth in the 16th century, that is, in the Ming Dynasty. After some authoritative research, it can be learned from the works of the famous great writer and historian Guo Moruo that the time when sweet potatoes were confirmed to enter China was 1593. However, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded sweet potatoes as a medicinal plant early on, but Li Shizhen was from 1518 to 1593. So, it is unlikely that as soon as this sweet potato was introduced into China, Li Shizhen knew about it and recorded it in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", right?

Of course, this is not important, but the important thing is that in some of the earlier accounts, there seem to be accounts of something similar to the Red Signature. Liu Yi heard a story about the Red Office in Nanyang, that is, the local aborigines, who have always lived by eating the Red Department, have always regarded the Red Department as a holy relic, and never let outsiders obtain it.

In this way, Liu Yi suspects that the Red Department, most likely, existed in Nanyang and even Huaxia early on, but it has never been discovered and taken seriously, and it has not been planted as a separate food.

Naturally, the name will definitely not be sweet potato, it may be sweet potato or, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with sweet potatoes at all.

Therefore, even if Liu Yi has a little hope, he wants to look for it, hoping to find even a seedling to bring back to Dahan. (To be continued.) )
