Chapter 554 Pride expands the territory
"Lord, let's talk about it, before I come back, you will definitely not wave your army westward and attack Yanzhou, right?" After laughing for a while, Tai Shici came up to Wang Yu again and asked with a salivating face.
"Hmm." Wang Yu snorted angrily.
"That's good." Tai Shi Ci smiled very contentedly, and said: "If you want to fight, you must leave Lu Bu to me, the lord, you can deal with that Lu family girl, catch it and make ......" He thought for a while, which pot was not opened, and asked: "Eh, how many of your ladies are here?" ”
"Ziyi, what do you want to say?" Wang Yu's tone was a little murderous.
Although Minchan's little vinegar jar was at home with Cai Yan and couldn't follow, there were so many eyes and ears of that little girl, this sentence would reach her ears sooner or later, and it would be another family turmoil at that time. Although every turmoil ends in beautiful scenery, Tai Shici's atmosphere can't be promoted, what is this called? Well, by the way, its heart can be punished!
"Actually, it's ......" Although Tai Shici's tone was a little hesitant, the look of anticipation in his eyes was clear, and Wang Yu's mind turned around, and he immediately guessed his thoughts.
Deliberately selling a pass, Wang Yu changed his words and said: "Ziyi, let's confirm one last time, what is the purpose of this eastward crossing?" ”
"Expand your territory." Tai Shi Ci replied without thinking.
The outside world only knew that Wang Yu was going to the legendary Penglai Immortal Island to look for gold mines, but in fact, that target was a very distant goal. This time to the east, the real target is the four counties of Liaodong and the Sanhan tribe!
The four counties of Liaodong are the Lelang County, Xuansu County, Zhenfan County, and Lintun County established in the north and central part of the Korean Peninsula after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Weiman Korea, collectively referred to as the four counties of the Han Dynasty. This is an important symbol of Hua Xia Ming's inclusion of the peninsula under his rule.
Wang Yu knew the truth that he couldn't become a fat man by eating in one bite, so of course he wouldn't expect to build some boats casually, so he sailed all the way to Wa Island. Just taking the risk and finding the way will work. But the question is, gold mining also needs manpower, and where does it come from?
Although he had prophetic things, I am afraid that even historical experts do not know what the situation was on the island in these years, who made the inhabitants of the island late, backward and ignorant?
Although Wang Yu is adventurous, his style is to take it step by step, and he thinks that he wants to go to Wajima. It is necessary to prepare in advance, Wajima may have a small population, but there are many people from the Samhan tribe.
According to Gongsun Du, Mahan, the largest of the Samhan tribes, has 54 kingdoms and a population of nearly 100,000 households. There are 20 countries in Chenhan and Benhan. A total of 78 countries, nearly 200,000 households, more than 1 million people!
Of course, there is moisture in this data, because it is the statistics of the Samhan tribe itself.
Wang Yu sits on the two states of Qingdao and Hebei, fifteen counties, and the area is four or five times that of three Koreas, and it is also the land of the Central Plains. But he only has a population of more than 3 million people, and a mere southern peninsula can feed a million people?
And the so-called seventy-eight countries......
In his previous life, Wang Yu read the novels of the Warring States Period of the Wa Kingdom and felt that the Wa Kingdom was already very exaggerated. There are more than 60 countries on the island. Looking at it now, Sanhan is much more outrageous than the Japanese people, just the size of sesame mung beans in the southern peninsula. They've built almost eighty countries!
In their place, the word country is too worthless, right? Thus. The habit of bragging is also inherited.
In any case, the larger the population of Samhan, the more favorable it will be for Cheongju's overseas expansion plans, and it will be the same in any era, and there will be people with everything.
Just when the outside world scoffed at Wang Yu's plan, only the people in the Hussar General's Mansion knew what an ambitious plan his lord had formulated.
"Lord, don't worry. Anyone who has been to Liaodong knows that Gongsun Taishou only used more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers to defend the huge Lelang County, so that Sanhan did not dare to overstep slightly, and the 200 elites under a certain command were enough to sweep Sanhan...... Of course, a certain will follow what you said, steady and steady, first in Ziyi Bay......"
Tai Shi Ci smiled: "I like this name." First occupy the bay, build a port and fortifications, and then hold on to the reinforcements, divide the two ships to the south, continue south along the route on the map, explore the sea route, and the other ships return, continue to increase the troops, and when the strength is replenished to five hundred, you can begin to expand outward...... Oh yes. ”
Looking at Wang Yu's face, he smashed his fist with his right hand into the palm of his left hand, and suddenly added: "If things are not harmonious, you can abandon the stronghold of Ziyi Bay, retreat north, and retreat into Lelang County." ”
"Hmm." Wang Yu nodded noncommittally, how strong Sanhan's strength is, Gongsun Du is also vague.
Although he sent people to Sanhan to rob by land and sea many times, he did not encounter any elite troops during the robbery, only the old, weak, sick and disabled, but it cannot be concluded that Sanhan has no combat effectiveness, after all, it is a large country with a population of one million, and there are many ants that can bite and kill elephants.
And every time Sanhan was robbed, at most he would send a messenger to Gongsun Du to cry, and he had never counterattacked Lelang County. According to King Ma Han, this is a sign of the Samhan people's respect for the kingdom and their love for peace, and Gongsun Du can only be skeptical of this.
After all, the three Koreans are not very harmonious with each other, and they also contain each other, maybe they really feel that the losses are not too big, and they can't afford to provoke a strong enemy like Liaodong Taishou?
Therefore, Gongsun Du just warned the generals who went to Sanhan to rob him to be careful and not to go too deep, and then he left this matter behind. Samhan's combat power has always been a mystery.
Hearing that Wang Yu intended to conquer Sanhan, Gongsun Du laughed in addition to laughing. He felt that Wang Yuzhun was full of food, and he was not good at fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, so he went to that barren land to make trouble.
Seeing the rich profits of the sea trade, Gongsun Du waved his hand and approved Wang Yu's plan, guaranteeing that after Wang Yu conquered Sanhan, he would not continue to increase the intensity of the raid, and provided a lot of information, but after all, he didn't think so, and the information naturally couldn't be more detailed.
Considering the principle of leniency for the enemy, Wang Yu asked Tai Shici to act cautiously, for fear that he would be impulsive and make a crazy record of 300 horsemen attacking 20,000 troops.
Now it seems that Tai Shici has remembered his words, but whether he can implement them 100% is still a question, and the biggest disadvantage of this product is that he is easy to get hot-headed.
Tai Shici himself is not conscious of this. The three words Ziyiwan evoked a question that had been itching in his heart: "By the way, lord, where did you get the map?" Lian Penglai Xiandao...... Well, it's a place like Wajima! It's incredible. ”
What Tai Shici likes most about the ministers of the General's Mansion is that he can always ask questions that everyone thinks in their hearts but dare not ask. At this point, except for Zhuge Liang, no one in Qingzhou can compare with him.
The reason why the General's Mansion is more confident in the Dongdu plan. It's not entirely because of Wang Yu's prestige, the key is that Wang Yu came up with very convincing evidence - map!
It is not a map of Qingzhou and Jizhou, but a map of the entire Bohai Sea and even the East China Sea!
The map does not depict mountains and rivers, but a long coastline. There is even a reference distance on it, which can be called a data against the sky - taking this eastward crossing as an example, the starting point is at Dongshanjiao, and the plan is to sail all the way to the east, and the expected end point will be an unnamed bay nearly 400 miles away, named after Tai Shici, the master of the eastward crossing.
In addition, the map shows the direction of the entire Samhan Peninsula, and there is a large island at the southern end of the peninsula. To the east of Oshima is a strait about 100 miles wide.
According to the plan, the only two voyages of the expedition were from Chengshanjiao to Ziyi Bay, and two voyages across the strait. The rest of the journey will be along the coastline.
The risk is compressed to the extreme.
Although Wang Yu has repeatedly explained that this diagram can only be used for reference, the distance is even more untrue. But even if he wasn't modest, the picture was appalling enough.
There is no exploration for ten or twenty years. Who can draw such a thing out of thin air? On the other hand, who can spend ten or twenty years of hard work to explore such a thing? With this effort, wouldn't it be good to draw a detailed map of Dahanzhou County and dedicate it to the Son of Heaven?
In short, this is a very convincing and unbelievable thing, and I don't know how many people can't sleep. It's a pity that Wang Yu has always refused to say it clearly, and no one dares to ask, but today someone finally asked, and everyone pricked up their ears and stretched their necks, wanting to get what they wanted.
"Everyone's curious, aren't they?" Wang Yu looked around, and his eyes were full of sparkling eyes, and even Jia Xu, the old fox, and Tian Feng, the old antique, couldn't help but nod.
"Let's talk about it......"
This secret is not worth mentioning to put it bluntly, Wang Yu is a special soldier, how can he not even draw a map of his own territorial waters? Of course, this map is not very accurate, on the one hand, Wang Yu is not an expert in geology, and there are no sophisticated mapping tools in later generations, and on the other hand, the geographical conditions of this era are not the same as those of later generations, and the coastline of later generations extends farther.
Therefore, Wang Yu said that the map can only be used as a reference, and it is definitely not modest.
Of course, this reason can't be said, in the face of everyone's expectant eyes, Wang Yu said nonsense: "When I was a child, I met a Taoist priest, and he taught me many things, including this map and the list...... Who is that Taoist priest? So how do I know? He didn't say anything...... In short, this is the truth of the matter, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. ”
"......" everyone was speechless.
The "......" looked at each other.
"So that's the case, my lord, you are really a person of destiny, and you have been enlightened by immortals!" Only Tai Shi Ci suddenly realized.
"Right? It's best if you understand......" Wang Yu patted his confidant on the shoulder with great satisfaction, confidant.
"My lord, what did you promise me?" Tai Shici asked again.
"You're going to board the boat as a team!" Wang Yu waved his hand: "Come here, play music, and I will write a poem, and act with the righteousness of the strong son!" ”
"Whoa!"
In the strong wind of "Dang......, the music of the chimes is very long;
"Knock, knock ......" accompanied by the rhythm of the stormy waves, the sound of war drums sounded;
The horn of "Woo, woo, woo......" pushed the atmosphere of generous travel to the peak.
Wang Yu climbed to the top with a horizontal lance, and he was angry with the dantian, and a famous chapter through the ages was about to come out!
"The east is facing the stone, to view the sea.
The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging.
The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant.
The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging.
The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it;
The stars are splendid, if out of it.
Fortunately, even ah, the song is a song! ”
This first view of the sea is Cao Cao's twelfth year in Jian'an, when he marched north to Wuhuan and returned triumphantly, he climbed the stone mountain and felt it. expresses his intention to move forward and take it, which is in line with the atmosphere of this scene at this moment.
Wang Yu sang generously, and after a few words, everyone was infected by the heroic spirit in it, and they made peace with each other.
The sound of the bell adds color;
The sound of the drums is strong;
The sound of the trumpet will be engraved on the history!
Wang Yu read it again, and the music was constantly high, high-pitched, straight into the clouds! The loud voices are no longer limited to the military officials, the sergeants who escort them, the relatives and friends who saw them off, and even the 350 strong men who have already boarded the boat.
The music is full of music!
The song pierces the clouds and cracks the stone!
The sails, rising like clouds, unfurl against the wind, drumming the north wind fiercely!
The ship, like a sharp arrow, marches proudly, chopping waves, singing and moving forward!
In the long song, the fleet gradually drifted away, towards the depths of the sea and the sky, the unfathomable distance, and took the first step of the Han Dynasty to forge ahead and dominate the world.
