Chapter 253: The Malay Ruins
Chapter 253 The remains of the Malays
After two weeks of sailing, the ship of Li Ji and others finally passed through the tropical windless zone and the equatorial countercurrent. The yacht that has experienced several convective rainstorms characteristic of the equatorial sea docked at the core island of the Seychelles archipelago called Mahé in the old time and space, which has been controlled by the Indian Ocean Fishing Group under the Chenji Group, and the small port established is also a convenient supply port for fishing, and the island called Liping Island by the discoverer Wang Qi is to commemorate his beloved wife.
According to the principle of who finds and who names it, this romantic island name is indeed an alternative, most of the islands are either the name of the discoverer himself or the name of the object he wants to shoot, in the tradition of Chinese, the most are named after the fathers and grandparents, and the names of wives and children are basically not, so this is even more precious.
This island is not an uninhabited island, but there are aborigines, but because the aborigines have not yet established a civilized country, the international map printed is the name of the first civilized country when it was discovered. The names of uninhabited islands are all like this, while the inhabited ones are named according to the transliteration method. Then it is very common to have two names for places where there are indigenous people, one is the name of the indigenous person for the locality, and the other is the name of the person who issued and used the map.
The small fishing port on Liping Island does not provide much for Li Ji and others, but because it deviates from the main shipping routes, the trade here is underdeveloped, and there is a lack of many consumer goods and necessities, and waiting for the trading fleet to arrive on time every year has become an activity comparable to the festival. When the boats appeared at sea level, the residents of the area came to the pier to see the excitement.
A luxury yacht is not a fishing boat or a trading ship on a bad street. You may never see each other in your life. The crowd of people who were strongly watching had to wait until half a day had passed, and watched the lively crowd disperse before disembarking. The managers and officials of the Chenji Group in the port, who had already been contacted, only knew that a big man had come, but they didn't know who it was. Carefully inquiring about the identity of the person who came, they obediently shut up after seeing the documents of the head of the Imperial Security Agency's foreign offices, don't inquire if they shouldn't ask, it's no good to know too much, and it's not a good thing to accompany a few top bosses who may be top bosses. In order to avoid leaking their whereabouts, being targeted and pulled by people with good intentions to eat, drink, waste time and even harass, the crossing public issued a strict order, and absolutely no one should be allowed to know the identity of the others. The idle and idle 'old monster' came to the only market in the port, conducted a random survey of market prices and people's livelihood, and then returned to the ship. The only hotel in the port is not bad, but the service provided does not meet the minimum star standard, and the hygiene, safety, and cost performance cannot satisfy the crossing public. I had to go back to the ship for the night.
This fishing port is not only the center of this archipelago, but also the only port in this huge fishing area, although it is not a thousand lights at night, but the afterglow of dusk reflects the fishing fire of more than 100 boats docked at the wharf and the port residents of thousands of people follow the good habit of sunrise and daily income, most of them are reluctant to light the lights, and a small number of lights in the dark building also make the passing public experience the beauty of tranquility and comfort.
Early the next morning. Lee Ki is ready to leave this temporary stop and head to Bat Island (Mauritius), where the legendary dodo can be seen, to taste this legendary meaty treasure. I'm tired of eating fish and trays every day. When he was about to leave, a local newspaper that he bought with him was ready to relieve Li Ji's boredom, and the headline on the front page immediately attracted Li Ji's attention. Has Liping Mountain discovered ancient ruins?
The highest point of the island is the top of Liping Mountain in the southwest of the port, and after several years of accelerated migration to develop the island, the mountains in the southwest and the plains in the southeast have opened up many rice and tropical crop plantations, which have begun to meet the local food demand. The stone tools and bones excavated during the excavation process confirm that the indigenous people were Malays from distant Southeast Asia, and this evidence greatly expands the range of Malay migration, confirming that the global seafaring migration of primitive societies actually had a low technical threshold. This discovery is of great significance in anthropology, history, and related interdisciplinary sciences.
In addition to a small number of stone tools and fossilized bones, these prehistoric remains also prove that the Malays settled here far more than previously estimated, and the first people who came to the archipelago thought that the indigenous people of these islands were from the more recent branch of the black people of Xuanzhou. But a comparison of languages and customs revealed that these people were a branch of the Malays, who came from as far away as Southeast Asia.
As an important branch of the Austronesian language family. The migration of the Malays was an epic that rivaled the expansion of the Polynesians, a seafaring race, in the Pacific. Without the support of hardware and software such as astronomy and navigation, the expeditions of these two races on the vast seas were much more powerful than those of their ancestors who went out of the African land, and even more powerful than those who had technical support to sail far away. The simple canoes and rafts, carrying the longing for a new land and limited water, sailed away like this, everyone knows that this is a high-risk death journey, without any confidence and guidance, even if you go to the new land, you may not be able to survive smoothly, and the risk of dying before a new island or land seems to be nothing.
Even if they are not able to develop a glorious civilization and become a powerful people who have the last laugh, their pioneering courage and spirit in human history is a valuable legacy even if it is not inherited by their direct descendants. Realizing that this lofty wealth of spiritual civilization was a thousand times more important than the dodo, a common thing that satisfies the appetite of the mouth, he immediately sent a report to the students in charge of the intelligence bureau and the foreign affairs department, asking them to pay close attention to this archaeological operation, strive to expand the Malay migration circle to the most detailed limit, and at the same time do a good job in publicizing the death of Sri Buddha, and strive to do a good job in the historical and theoretical innovation of the friendship between the two countries to a higher level.
Archaeological madman Zhao Shouzhong was also stunned, the attraction of marine civilization to him is no worse than that of the ancient civilization of China, but this kind of prehistoric archaeological remains is a great impact on his spirit and faith, originally thought that the four ancient civilizations are the existence that represents the essence of the most civilized society of ancient civilization, but the exploration and expansion of the Malay ancestors is more vigorous than the blue wisps of the road reflects the essential power and never-ending power of the expansion of civilization.
In the doctrine of empire, the emerging school of expansion has constantly advocated that the core ruling areas of the empire from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present day are constantly expanding and building on the basis of conquering foreign races, and establishing legitimacy for the empire's colonial system through various archaeological evidences. But this remnant of the Malays shows that there is not just one race or nation on earth that has the right time and place to rule the world, and that once expansion stops, civilization may decline.
This kind of major theoretical innovation, which has a bearing on the height of the world's universal world outlook, must be in the hands of the traversal people. This was a crucial turning point related to the abolition of Taoism, and a wedge in the theory of establishing a pluralistic political and civilizational system that crossed the hopes of all. Of course, it is also related to the key to the future civilizational structure and political direction of the empire. In the hope that Chinese civilization would expand forever until the end of the sea of stars, they would like to see any useful theoretical and ideological content that would turn the desire for land into a desire for honor and wealth.
Including the Maritime Silk Road, the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and the trade to get rich since the Qin and Han dynasties, the stories of going out from the inside out should be told day by day, month by month, and the stories of those foreigners who came to China to trade and get rich should also be told day by day and month by month in order to attract talents and foreign capital. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a set of theories of coercion, the so-called sailing against the current will not advance or retreat, and a nation without a sense of crisis is dangerous, and it is also necessary to establish some theories that prove that there may be a competitor nation other than the Chinese Empire.
At the same time, win-win cooperation should also prevent micro problems, and at the same time continue to make money, there must be an invisible whip to ensure the orderly and lasting competition, only in this way, can the society embrace vitality. The key affairs are a kind of ruler's mode of thinking, and the results of the migration of the qi and the body through the past few decades have initially produced results. (To be continued......)
