In the fourth year of the first peace, in February, Huiji County, on the east side of the sea.

Zhoushan Island, which originally had no name, came from the navy, and Sun Quan named it Zhoushan.

It is rumored that Xu Fu's eastward crossing was from here, so this place is not desolate, there are still many popular people, and it has been occupied by a group of pirates from Huiji and Wu County, this group of pirates has more than 500 people, but only a fighting ship, this group of pirates has some prestige in Huiji and Wu County, and often logs on the coastline to rob.

Because the people of Jiangdong have a deep fear of this sea, they basically dare not go to sea, so this group of pirates is naturally arrogant.

There are hundreds of islands in the vicinity, Zhoushan Island is the largest island, there are thousands of families on the island, nearly 5,000 people live, these people are either robbed by pirates, or they cannot survive on land and flee.

However, as soon as the Jiangdong Navy went to sea, it naturally became the first stop recently, and in the face of the wolf-like Jiangdong Navy, then a little pirate was naturally wiped out, and this became the first base of the Jiangdong Navy.

This time he went to sea, 16,000 people, Sun Ce was the commander, Zhou Yu was the military advisor, and Sun Quan was actually playing soy sauce.

Originally, there was nothing to do with Zhou Yu, but it was obvious that Zhou Yu knew about the two brothers going to sea, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and now the Jiangdong Navy is on the track of development, and in the past two or three years, there are few major wars, and it is enough to have Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin staring at them.

So, Zhou Yu asked Sun Jian to assist Sun Ce to go to sea, Sun Jian thought about it, he was always worried about Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the two little cubs, Zhou Yu seemed much smarter and more mature, so he let Zhou Yu in.

On the island, on the edge of the sea cliff, a ten-meter-high flag, with a black background, and a blood-colored Sun 'character' fluttering in the wind. Taking this island is a no-brainer for the Jiangdong Navy.

"Zhongmou, I have tried the pirate led by me, Ma Lin, a native of Shanyue, was exterminated by the government back then, so he took dozens of brothers and hijacked a boat, fortunately, he was sent here, what should these people do?" Sun Ce was busy for a while, and after placing these hundreds of pirate captives, he looked at Sun Quan and asked.

"This is just our first stop, they have been here in Zhoushan for many years, they are more familiar with the sea than we should be, naturally they are in the team, can't you suppress them?" Sun Quan's figure stood on the cliff, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, staring at the blue endless sea, shrugging his shoulders, and said.

Seeing this blue sea, his heart was a little irrepressible excited.

"Got it!"

Sun Ce's eyes lit up and he nodded. With this person, he Sun Ce can naturally suppress the Lord and join his team, and it will not affect anything.

"By the way, has Brother Gongjin settled the people on the island?"

Sun Quan turned his head and asked: "The location of Zhoushan is very important, in the future, this is the first base of the Jiangdong Navy, you can go to Yizhou in the south, Liaodong in the north, and the northeast corner can go directly to the Wa Kingdom, Ma Han, I plan to put the warship base for the Jiangdong Navy in the future." ”

"All according to what you said, build a ferry, send ships, connect Huiji, make this section of the channel clear, only fighting ships can access it, and then move the population from Wu County and Huiji, establish a city, and establish a county!"

Sun Ce nodded, without some doubts, and asked, "But Zhongmou, although this place is not small, it is a bit desolate, are the people of Jiangdong willing to come here?" ”

"Why not?" Sun Quan squinted.

"You don't want to think about it, what kind of place is this, for people in Jiangdong, there is no guarantee to go to sea, who wants to brave the wind and waves to come here!" Sun Ce pursed his lips and said.

"Big brother, someone will definitely come, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit."

When Sun Quan heard this, the corners of his mouth were lined up, showing a brilliant smile, and he said confidently: "There are already people here who are planting rice, naturally it can be cultivated, and the resources are abundant...... We are here to open up the wasteland, and every family who is willing to come, as soon as they come, they will provide tools for plowing the fields, as well as seeds, and divide more than 20 acres of fields, do you think anyone will take the risk of coming! ”

"Yes!" When Sun Ce heard this, his eyes were shocked, and he couldn't help nodding heavily.

In today's Jiangdong, there are many powerful scholars, and there are many tenants under their command, which is why Sun Jian has never dared to be in Jiangdong Tuntian, because once Tuntian, it will damage the interests of the Jiangdong Shi clan and will inevitably be counterattacked.

But none of these lowly tenants wanted to own their own land, and as long as the Jiangdong Navy could keep this short route sailing safely, there would definitely be people willing to come.

"Eldest brother, you write a letter to your father and tell him that we will handle this section of the navigation line well, and let him recruit a piece of tenants in the name of the General's Mansion and station here, and use this place as a granary for us to develop here."

Sun Quan said in a low voice: "As long as those who are willing to come to the people, they can get thirty acres of land, and they will not collect any taxes for the first three years, and half of the income will be handed over to the general's mansion, and the land will be returned to them after more than five years of cultivation." ”

In this era, the field is a big **, if Zhoushan can be developed, it will inevitably become a granary in Jiangdong.

"This is good, there are definitely many people who are willing to take the risk to come, but this route must be kept safe!" Sun Ce squinted his eyes and burst out with a fine light.

"It's not difficult, after all, it's not far from Huiji, let's stay for a month, explore and explore, find out the safest and closest route, and then let the future ships follow this sail."

Sun Quan smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Let Brother Gongjin, immediately take the three thousand navy, take the Tiger, Taihu, and six fighting ships, and return immediately, on the one hand, determine the navigation line and mark it clearly, on the other hand, return to Huiji, and let the county guard urgently dispatch a group of tenants to come, wanting to enliven the atmosphere here for me." ”

……

Zhoushan Island is in full swing, more than 16,000 people from the Jiangdong Navy went to sea, plus more than 5,000 people on the island, more than 20,000 people, started a big project, there are many natural stones here, Sun Quan and they used these stones to build a stone city in the place where those people originally lived.

While exploring the shipping route with the navy, he quickly established this small city.

When Sun Quan first went to sea, he insisted on bringing a mixed team of 3,000 craftsmen and craftsmen, just for such a preparation, some of these craftsmen and craftsmen, plus elite soldiers came to build the city in person, and the speed was very fast.

In half a month, the outline of a city wall made of stone emerged, of course, this is only the outline of the most basic level, if you want to build a city, it will take at least a year, at this time, Zhoushan together with the waterway of Huiji, also let the Jiangdong Navy detect very clearly, after all, the distance is not far.

Back and forth, the Jiangdong Navy has made a clear route, so as not to make its ship not go around in circles on the sea, at sea, the first point is naturally the waves, the overwhelming waves, is a natural threat, at least at the moment the Jiangdong Navy is difficult to deal with.

Another point is the direction, although there is Sinan in today's era, but it is not widely used, and no one will use it in shipping, Sun Quan on the basis of Sinan, the compass made in advance, with the compass will not be lost in a boundless, directionless sea area.

In the newly built Zhoushan County, many houses are being built, a simple wooden house, Sun Ce and Sun Quan are discussing the direction of the next stop, and Zhou Yu will come back.

"Zhongmou, this compass is really useful, at sea, they can clearly let our fleet recognize the direction clearly, and will not get lost, we didn't know that Sinan can have such a big role now." Zhou Yu returned to Zhoushan Island with a fleet of 3,000 tenants urgently recruited by the Tongguò Huiji County Guard.

"Hehe, that's natural, the compass is a must-have for navigation, by the way, what about the waterway, have you drawn it?"

"Here."

Zhou Yu took out a map from the hand of a personal soldier beside him and spread it on the table, this map showed the terrain of Zhoushan and Huiji in detail, he pointed to the map, and carefully analyzed: "In fact, when we didn't go out of the sea, we always thought that this qiē was too dangerous and complicated, but now the terrain comes out, it is very simple, here, here, here...... These have a small island, which can indicate the place, together with Huiji, we can build a ferry from here in Huiji County, from Zhoushan to Chengxian, I sent boats, tried many times, as long as we grasp the direction, the wind and waves are not big, and we can reach it at most. ”

"Has the ferry crossing in Cheng County been established?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan stared at the chart and asked.

"When I came out with the fleet, the county magistrate of Cheng County had already set out to build this ferry." Zhou Yu nodded.

"Our ship still has to go to sea, absolutely not moving, from Huiji and Wu County, transfer two fighting ships, ten ships, to form two fleets that often go back and forth between Zhoushan and Cheng County, back and forth to transport supplies and population, there should be no problem!"

Sun Quan's eyes burst with a twinkle, and said: "One trip, one trip, only someone is willing to come here, they can come at any time, as soon as the channel circulates, with the place here, there are resources, in less than ten years, this place is definitely more lively than Shanyin!" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the success of the first stop made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have a lot of confidence in going to sea, Sun Ce nodded, then looked at Zhou Yu, and asked, "Gongjin, does my father have a letter?" ”

"Oh, I almost forgot, when I was recruiting tenants in the county guard's mansion, I sent your letter back to Wu County, this is the reply to you after the lord read it." Zhou Yu nodded, quickly took out a letter from his arms, and said.

"Zhongmou, your father's consent to build Zhoushan County here, under the command of Huiji County, he will send a county magistrate." Sun Ce spread out the envelope, looked at it, showed a smile, and said: "Father also agreed, in the name of the General's Mansion, recruit another 20,000 tenants to be stationed in Zhoushan, in Zhoushan Tuntian, but my father emphasized that we must ensure the safety of the waterway, if there is a problem with the waterway, he will cancel Zhoushan immediately." ”

"Very good, the affairs of Zhoushan County should develop slowly, our navy work will end here, and let the people behind take over the rest of the matter, just leave a general development plan, and we will move on to the next step."

Sun Quan drew a picture he personally drawn, taking the map of Huiji as the original appearance, adding some maps of the East China Sea that he remembered, he used a wooden stick, pointed to the area near the sea in Huiji, and said: "Zhoushan is here, this is only the offshore sea, relatively speaking, there is no danger, and the next step, we have to follow the seaside of Huiji, in the end of Dongzhi, and then replenish here in Dongzhi, and then set off, in one breath to enter Yizhou, Yizhou is here, this is the real sea, we must be cautious." ”

"Zhongmou, have you ever been to the sea, how do you know the direction of Yizhou?" Zhou Yu was a little puzzled and asked.

"Hehe, I know a lot of things, I don't have any little skills, how dare I take you to form a fleet to go to sea, on this sea, it's not wrong to listen to me!"

Sun Quan smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Prepare immediately, and in ten days, set off." ”

(I'm ashamed, there are only two shifts today)
