【Weiwen Xia Yizhou】

Yizhou is the ancient name of Taiwan, in the second year of Huanglong (230), Sun Quan sent the generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead tens of thousands of soldiers wearing armor to sail to seek Yizhou and Kangzhou. It is said that Bozhou is between the sea, and the elders say that Qin Shi Huang sent Fang Shi Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls to sail the sea to find Penglai Immortal Mountain and immortal medicine, and settled in Bozhou and did not return. It has been passed down from generation to generation and is now tens of thousands of households, and the people there often come to Huiji to bring cloth to buy and sell, and people in the east of Huiji sail, and some drift to Bozhou in the face of a big storm.

In the "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Lu Xun", it is recorded that Sun Quan is seeking Yizhou and Zhuya (but this matter was opposed by the ministers headed by Lu Xun, Lu Xun and others believed: "There are many people in Jiangdong today, enough to use, should not cross the ocean, go deep into the barren land, send troops to attack people thousands of miles away, the sea is stormy and turbulent, it is difficult to predict. Moreover, once the people change the water and soil environment, it will definitely cause diseases, and they will be even more damaged if they plan to increase their people's strength, and they will be harmed by it if they plan to make profits; Moreover, the local people are like beasts, and it is not enough to get them to help the cause, and without them, the people will not be deficient. However, Sun Quan did not listen.

After full preparation, Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi formed a team of more than 30 ships, with enough food and fresh water, led 10,000 soldiers, set sail to sea, and began to look for Yizhou.

After a day and night voyage, after several months, they finally arrived at Yizhou. As soon as the men and horses came ashore, and before they had time to enjoy the scenery of the island, the residents of the Gaoshan tribe on the island gathered with drums and rushed over with spears, bows and arrows, and sticks. Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi hurriedly called the soldiers to meet the Gaoshan people, although they fought bravely, their weapons were backward. At this time, the soldiers of the Wu State used iron armor and steel helmets, while the spears used by the Gaoshan people were made of animal horns, and the arrows were made of bluestone.

After the Gaoshan people retreated, Wei Wen Mingjin told the soldiers not to chase and set up camp on the spot. He and Zhuge Zhi discussed in the account how to eliminate misunderstandings, establish friendly relations with the natives, and complete the tasks assigned by King Wu. At this moment, soldiers came to report that a representative of the Gaoshan tribe had asked to see him. So the two hurried out of the tent to greet them. During the conversation, I learned that the Gaoshan people thought they were robbers, so they fought hard, and now according to local customs, the defeated party should send someone to the other party to thank each other and give gifts, which can be regarded as reconciliation. Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi immediately explained their intentions and sent representatives to bring gifts to worship.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Gaoshan people were still in the stage of clan communes, there was no private property, and they lived a primitive social life, they were divided into many tribes, and the members of the tribe were called "Mi Scales", and they often worked in their mouths, according to gender, age, and strength, and men were responsible for hunting in the mountains, fishing in the sea, defending the tribe, and guarding property; Women and children mainly collect tree seeds, wild fruits, and plant roots and stems within the jurisdiction of the tribe, prepare meals for all the tribe members, barbecue meat, and eat together, and distribute the food equally. The supreme head of the tribe is the chief, and there is complete equality within the clan, and the chief's house is the same as everyone else's, a stone house. Put a wooden fence around the house. The only thing special about the chieftain's house is the many skulls on display, because according to local custom, the more human skulls are displayed in the room, the more enemies are killed and the greater the skill. In the clan tribe, there is no law, only custom is used to deal with problems. If there is something to do, we will hold a tribal meeting to discuss it together.

In order to show friendship to the Wu army, the chiefs of the Gaoshan tribe held a grand welcome ceremony, men, women and children all wore bright and dazzling, delicate texture, colorful clan costumes, hair coiled on the top of the head, tied with bone flutes, neck with strings of beads, shells, bones, etc. Zhuge Zhi and the others and the local chiefs frequently raised glasses to celebrate.

Wei Wen and others began to live in Yizhou, helping the Gaoshan people to farm, and teaching them agricultural production techniques and casting techniques, and got along very well with the Gaoshan people, but due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, many Wu soldiers became ill, and the Gaoshan people enthusiastically helped them heal. Because their medical level is also relatively backward, the medicine carried by the Wu army has also been used up, and more and more people are dying of illness, Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi made a decision to return to Wu after discussion, and some Gaoshan people were willing to go to Wu with them, so Wei Wen, Zhuge Zhi and Yizhou Gaoshan people said goodbye with tears, and returned to Wu with thousands of Wu soldiers and Gaoshan people.

This is also the first official record of contact with the island of Taiwan in Chinese history, and since then the economic and cultural exchanges between Yizhou and the mainland have further developed. Therefore, Taiwan has been an inalienable part of China's territory since ancient times.

Although Wei Wen and the others found Yizhou, because of the remoteness of Yizhou, Wei Wen and the others finally failed to get there, and only brought a few thousand people from Yizhou back. When Sun Quan learned the news, he was very regretful and angry, so he thought that Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi both returned in vain for disobeying the edict, and both were imprisoned and executed.

In fact, Sun Quan sent these people to find the elixir of life, mainly to find Bozhou, but the result was unsuccessful, and the two generals were killed by the black cauldron.

【Pan Junfa Wuxi】

Pan Jun was originally under Liu Bei, and was subjugated by Sun Quan after Guan Yu's death, and earlier Wuling engaged in Fan Zhou's attempt to incite the Wuxi barbarians to sacrifice Wuling to Liu Bei, and was quelled by Pan Jun with 5,000 people. After Sun Quan became emperor, Pan Jun was appointed as the Shaofu and became the Marquis of Liu Yang. Later, he moved to Taichang.

In the third year of Huanglong (231), Sun Quan granted Pan Jun the Fu Festival, ordered the overseer army of 50,000 to crusade against the Wuxi barbarians, and transferred Lü Dai back from Jiaozhou to help Pan Jun. Pan Jun rewarded and punished appropriately, and in a few years, he killed and captured tens of thousands of people. Since then, the Wuxi barbarians have gradually declined, and one side has been able to be peaceful.

According to the Book of Wu, the hussar general marched to the mouth of the Hussars and asked to recruit the counties to increase the troops. The right to ask Jun, Jun said: "Hao will be idle in the people, waste and chaos are harmful, and he is famous, and he is flattered by him, and he can't listen to it." "The right to obey. Zhonglang will Yuzhang Xu Zong, there are celebrities, taste the Beijing master, and Kong Rong knotted, but the Confucian birthday, the ministry is wide and longitudinal, not the festival, for the public as a palace, Jun then beheaded. It is not afraid of private discussions, and it is like this. Returning to righteousness and concealment, oral argument is good for heroes, and Jun Zizhu also whirls with him and feeds him. Jun Wen was furious, and he said: "I have received the grace of the country, and I will repay my life, and my generations are in the capital, so I should be obedient, pro-virtuous and good, why do I pay with the captives?" Hearing this from afar, my heart shook and my face was hot, and I was melancholy. If he is neglected, he shall be in a hurry to receive a hundred rods and urge him to pay for it. "At that time, the people were salty and strange, and Fanguo tried to rebel and punish him, and everyone was subdued.

PS: Although Taiwan and the mainland are one country and two intelligences, they are still part of China.
