Chapter 1278: The Wa Kingdom

Standing on the beach by the sea, in front of you is an endless, rolling blue sea, between the water and the sky, you can only see a little white sail, and you can't see any land at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Liu Yin knew that on the other side of the not far away, there was a country, for thousands of years, the army of the Central Plains Dynasty had never set foot on a piece of land, and even the Mongol Empire, which had conquered Europe and opened up tens of thousands of miles of territory, faced this island country, but it was defeated in both ways.

This is undoubtedly a very curious thing, once the island country of the projectile, facing a huge country, has never been lost for thousands of years, it is simply a miracle.

There is no need to talk about any navigation technology, Wei Wen of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period can already drive the ship to Yizhou, from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Yizhou, a voyage of more than 3,000 miles, and the shortest distance of the Tsushima Strait is only about 100 miles, and even the Bohai Strait is several times wider than it.

The dirty roads of the people have been opened as early as the Han Dynasty, and even the civilization inheritance of the island country has made a qualitative leap because of the advanced technology brought by the ferry.

"General Yan, how much do you know about the Wa Kingdom on the other side?" Since the Han Dynasty, it has been called the Wa Kingdom.

Yan inquired: "Although the last general has not crossed the sea to the Japanese country, but the last general has seen a lot of people who trade with the Japanese country, so the last general also knows a little about the situation of the Japanese country." In the south of the Korean Sea, there are four large islands, thousands of small islands, and more than 300 countries, which are in constant war. There is a country named Yamatai, the largest among the countries, generations to men as kings, before the Wei Dynasty, set up a woman as the king, called for the humi of the king, good at making the art of ghosts and gods, confusing everyone, it is said that this humi Hu has been hidden in the palace for a long time, never married in his life, the government is handled by his brother, except for a man into the palace to send food, others have no chance to face it, guarding the palace, is when thousands of palace maids. However, under its rule, Yamatai grew stronger and stronger, annexing more than 30 surrounding countries, and became the leading power among the Japanese states. Himihu once sent an envoy to the Central Plains to ask to see Emperor Wei, who gave him a purple ribbon gold seal of his pro-Wei kingdom and rewarded him with some property. There is a country in the south of the Yamatai country called the dog slave country, which is not harmonious with the Yamatai country, and the war is endless, and Himiko has turned to Emperor Wei for help, but the Wei country is also beyond the reach of the whip, and only helps with the text. After Himiko's death, his daughter Tai and his successor are still the queen of Yamatai. ”

Liu Yinqi said: "This humble meiko has never been married in his life, why does he have a daughter?" ”

Yan inquired: "Taihe is the daughter of Himiko from the clan, but it is rumored that this daughter was born to Himiko ** harem, in order to show people's eyes and ears, Himiko has not been out of the palace to meet outsiders for many years. King Yong asked about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom at this time, could it be that he had the intention of crossing the sea to conquer each other? ”

Liu Yin didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "General Yan has been leading the party for a long time, and he is familiar with the affairs of the Japanese country. ”

Yan Xun couldn't figure out Liu Yin's true intentions for a while, so he said: "General Su Mo bluntly said that fighting across the sea will cost a lot, and the country of the Japanese is a wild land, and there is a lack of property, even if the conquest wins, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Liu Yin laughed and said: "The economic account is definitely not cost-effective, but in addition to the economic account, there is a more important account, which is related to the account of his children and grandchildren, but it cannot be measured with money." ”

Yan Xun was very curious, guessing in his heart what Liu Yin said about this more important account, but Liu Yin didn't say, and he didn't have the courage to ask, but in his opinion, the barren and barren Japanese country has no need to conquer at all, and the cross-sea battle is not as good as the land, and the warships and grain and grass supplies required are quite amazing, if the price paid for the expedition is much higher than what is gained, it is better not to conquest.

But Liu Yin's thoughts, and there is something he can understand, although from the eyes of today's people, the Wa Kingdom, which is no different from the wild land, is not worth the Han army's labor and mobilization of troops to fight. But for thousands of years, the Central Plains Dynasty has always held such a prejudice, this year will not be conquered, next year will not fight, so that the Japanese country will become stronger step by step, and later it has become a big trend, and when it is found that the Japanese country has become a confidant, it is already powerless to want to conquer it.

The two conquests of the Yuan and Mongolian empires against the Wa Kingdom became the final swan song, as strong as the Mongols could not conquer the Wa Kingdom, and the later Ming and Qing Empires gradually fell into a passive situation. This small island country has become the last hidden pain of the Chinese nation.

By chance, Liu Yin stood in the closest place to the Wa Kingdom, hundreds of miles away, which was the island country, which was never thought of even when Liu Yin sent troops to Liaoxi.

Whether to continue to move forward, march across the sea, or accept it when it is good, and return to the Central Plains, Liu Yin's heart is still very entangled at this moment, retreating will be successful, and the future will be uncertain if he advances, after all, under the existing conditions, fighting a naval battle is a very high risk for Liu Yin.

Naval warfare is not as good as land warfare, and as long as there is sufficient food and grass and perfect logistics to be given in land warfare, even if it is a journey spanning thousands of miles, it will not cause people to worry.

Naval warfare is no better than water warfare, the same is the use of warships, but the area where the water warfare is carried out is generally inland rivers and lakes, there is no big wind and waves, and the sea is different, there is no wind and three feet of waves, and ordinary ships are not competent for the task of crossing the sea. And the wind and waves on the sea are a very terrible thing, if you encounter strong winds and waves when crossing the sea, no matter how many people and horses and how many boats there are, it will be useless, and you can only be buried in the sea.

However, Liu Yin did not have the slightest intention of retreating, he was reborn, it was to eliminate the suffering of the Chinese nation, Wuhu has now been trampled under his feet, with the fall of Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei, the five Hu chaos that has plagued China for centuries has been eliminated in the bud.

Eliminating Wuhu Chaohua is Liu Yin's short-term goal, and he really wants to eliminate the suffering of the Chinese nation, but it is an extraordinary thing, whether it can play a role, Liu Yin still does not know, but since Liu Yin has stood here, he has absolutely no idea of retreating and fearing.

Although cross-sea combat is a new challenge for Liu Yin, after all, for more than ten years, Liu Yin has been fighting land warfare, and in terms of experience in naval warfare, Liu Yin is completely blank, but all of these can not make Liu Yin cringe, no experience, then look for it from the groping, now Liu Yin does not lack is fighting spirit and determination, no matter how big the difficulty, he can also overcome.
