Chapter 249: Yi Ji
Jiangdong, Jinling.
The new Ministry of Industry Festival Liquor took office three days ago.
Because it is related to the most confidential Ministry of Industry, there is no need to go through any deliberations, and even other departments only know that there is an extra big sacrificial wine in the Ministry of Industry from channels other than the official.
And the uproar caused by the special body (xing) part (bie) of the big sacrificial wine, when it was still brewing, Gan Ning, who had left Jiangdong for more than half a year, finally re-landed from Wu County - in fact, he had also landed and replenished along the coast of Huiji before, but the news was not as fast as Gan Ning continued to take the sea route!
Going to sea for more than half a year......
In the eyes of many people, Gan Ning and others are already more auspicious, and Hua Xin can even eat an extra bowl of rice every once in a while.
However, it is very "regrettable", and it is lamented that "good people do not live long, and the scourge will last for thousands of years", Gan Xingba is back!
There were no goods, only a few knick-knacks that were barely souvenirs, and a few Zhuxia immigrants, representatives of the indigenous people of Yizhou, and ...... Several special "guests" turned back with Gan Ning.
The size of the fleet was only a third of what it was when it left, and the remaining two-thirds...... Most of them were left on duty in Yizhou by Gan Ning, and a small part was ...... It is forever left in the sea.
Although the casualties have been reduced to "negligible" compared with the same period in history, they are still not "none".
After all, it is the first voyage, no matter how much you have learned before, it is the first time after all, while increasing experience, there must be sacrifices to buy lessons, and what Bai Tu can do in advance is only to make the lessons "cheaper".
Gan Ning found the news of Yizhou and returned, and for a time robbed the popularity of the female festival wine of the Ministry of Industry, and it became popular all over Jiangdong and Yangzhou from Wu County......
Even if it was the staff of the six ministries, the attention of Gan Ning was also focused on Gan Ning at this time.
They are not like the foolish men and fools of the people, thinking that Gan Ning is looking for the elixir - in fact, in the Central Plains and Jingzhou, it is really such a black and white picture, saying that after he gave Jiuxi, he also had a big dream of immortality like Qin Shi Huang!
With their knowledge, they actually know that Yizhou and Bozhou should be two big overseas islands, and it is likely that many people survive, after all, there have been several records of overseas foreign landings and transactions.
Some people even swear that Yizhou is 2,000 miles away from Jiaozhou, with thousands of households, and Bozhou is farther away and has more people......
Of course, there is no basis for these tests, but ...... New population settlements have been discovered, and moreover, overseas, how can the officials of the Sixth Department not care?
At the big level, this is "expanding the territory", and at the small level, it is ...... In fact, there were once wealthy families who did something diametrically opposite to the morality they usually preached when they landed overseas, such as suddenly having more free slaves and the like.
It's just that if they want to take the initiative to organize a "hunting patrol" at sea, it will be completely worth the loss for them, and no amount of investment will be wasted.
As for what he encountered and experienced in Yizhou, not only did Gan Ning not disclose it, but also gave a gag order to other soldiers, just wait for him to return to Jinling to report to Bai Tu.
But judging from the situation that can be understood now, the road of Yizhou is likely to have been completely completed!
Other people can also understand that the situation in Yizhou will now belong to the "secret" of the Great General's Mansion, so they have to wait patiently and look forward to it, and talk to them after Bai Tu.
Gan Ning landed all the way from the harbor near Biling, then changed to a river boat, went upstream, and finally landed at the port outside Gongkou City.
And Bai Tu, who learned the news in advance, personally went to Beijing to greet Gan Ning's triumph - floating in the sea for more than half a year, this is a veritable "gamble"!
Although they actually suffered casualties, when they went to sea, they were prepared to sacrifice more than the front-line soldiers on the battlefield.
"Navy Governor Gan Ning, meet the lord!" Gan Ning had already changed into new clothes when he passed by the port of Huiji.
As for deliberately wearing older clothes, which reflects the hard work of the road, so as to psychologically exchange for more "care" and more rewards for Baitu, the idea will not appear in Gan Ning's brain circuit at all.
Including the soldiers under his command, one by one has long been replaced with brand-new, shiny armor, and there is still Shu brocade tied on the outside, and the characteristic brocade sail is indispensable......
Just looking at their appearance, you can't see what hardships they have suffered, at most...... I found out that they did lose weight!
"Great work! Everyone has worked hard! Bai Tu helped Gan Ning up and said.
Every time you help Gan Ning is a technical job, because every time Gan Ning bends over, he will wait for you to help him by half a beat......
"Let's go, the family has prepared wine and meat for everyone, all get in the car!" Bai Tu greeted the returning soldiers.
In the world of Chengji, this is still very convenient - as long as you take care of the generals, that is, the scale of thousands of people".
When Bai Tu came, he had already requisitioned a large number of hundreds of carriages.
Although it is not far away, Bai Tu is very "superficial" or has a "sense of ceremony", please all the generals follow Bai Tu's carriage and take the car back to Jinling together.
The returning generals, when they heard Bai Tu talking about "home", their eyes were red, and when they mentioned that they wanted everyone to follow behind and ride in the car, they were even more loyal and thankful.
"Xingba rides with me." Bai Tu pulled Gan Ning and got into his car together.
Bai Tu also can't wait to know what Gan Ning has encountered and experienced in Yizhou.
Gan Ning didn't sell anything to Bai Tu, and talked about his three months in Yizhou......
It took three months to arrive in Yizhou before, but when I returned, because the route was more familiar and the ocean currents were more familiar, it only took one month, and I had already landed in Huiji, and the other three or four months were spent in Yizhou!
When Bai Tu heard that when Gan Ning met the first indigenous tribe in Yizhou, the woman who offered to the other party put on a brocade robe, and the woman became a "concubine", he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
At this moment, a little skinny looking Yi Ji appeared next to Gan Ning - fortunately, Bai Tu's carriage was big enough, in addition to Lu Lingqi, the chief of the guard who always protected Bai Tu, another Gan Ning also had space to fit this little Yi Ji, and it was even very spacious.
After incarnating as a concubine, this Yi girl looks white and pure, and it is easier to see her age, so she should ...... That's about thirteen or fourteen years old!
Before Yu Ji was transformed into "Yi Ji", she just listened to her own dictation, and Yu Ji herself was ignorant.
And now...... An example of a human being transformed into a strange concubine was placed in front of Bai Tu's eyes.
There is also a lot of touch on the birth principle of Bai Tu's speculation about Yiji and Chenghime.
And that's not the point!
Gan Ning didn't even give Bai Tu a chance to ask further questions, and continued to talk about his experience after that......
At this time, in Yizhou itself, large and small, in terms of tribes, I am afraid that there are hundreds, even hundreds, but the most "powerful" is only more than 20 - or the most stable, and other small tribes can be said to be born and destroyed.
Although the language of the two sides was completely different, the scribes who brought it, after referring to the book records of the Zhuxia immigrants, found that the name of the ancestors of Zhuxia should be translated as "Dongan" - in fact, in the Han Dynasty, there was indeed a habit of calling people from other seas "Dongancho people".
Therefore, Gan Ning is also called this for the time being.
The so-called powerful tribe of the Dongancho people is also vulnerable in Gan Ning's opinion, in fact, the tribe he first encountered was already considered a "winner", and it was already one of the twenty-two "powerful" tribes, and it also enslaved several smaller tribes, so it would be confident to meet Gan Ning as an outsider at the beginning.
Gan Ning remembered Bai Tu's advice, and was very restrained when he shot at the local natives - no matter how backward they were, they needed to remember that they were also human beings, their own kind.
After the initial shock, the other party quickly surrendered spinelessly, and sacrificed the most beautiful girl in the tribe.
However, Gan Ning ignored such a backward way of surrendering, but by mistake, Yizhou gave birth to a strange concubine!
Seeing the strange state of Yiji's birth, the people of the tribe immediately poured out of the cave and bowed down to Gan Ning and the new Yihime, and made a voice that although they couldn't understand it, they also knew that it was reverence and surrender.
It was also at this time that Gan Ning discovered...... This Akime can act as the best "translator"!
Using Yihime's communication, the characteristics of language can be ignored, and Gan Ning can also communicate with the local natives through her.
Relying on this, Gan Ning grasped the situation in Yizhou faster.
The Yi Ji "inspired" by Gan Ning was not the first Yi Ji in Yizhou, and there were already five Yi Ji in Yizhou at this time, or rather...... Yihime?
At the request of the other party, Gan Ning gave her a new name - Kaihua Ji.
Enlightenment, Ganning's purpose for the natives.
Although Bai Tu repeatedly ordered him not to rely on strength and treat the other party as livestock when facing the natives, he ...... Civilization, or the spread of civilization, is a must.
It sounds a bit outrageous, but ......
Don't ask, asking is both weak and aggressive!
Before the Kaihua Ji, Yizhou actually had Yiji, but ...... Kaihua Ji felt that she was not quite like them.
The five most powerful tribes all possess Yiji, and they are respectively in the northern hills, the western plains, the southern mountains, and the east and west coasts of Yizhou, and each of the five places is dominant, and it is regarded as the head of the other tribes around it.
The place where Gan Ning landed belonged to the West Coast, and this tribe was already the largest tribe on the West Coast, except for the Yellowtail (shi) tribe that owned Yihime.
Normally, if a new Ihime appears, it should be "connected" to other Ihime in real time, but Kaihua Ji is not connected to any Ihime......
And in terms of function, Kaihua Ji also found that her ability was completely different from the Yi Ji she had heard about before!
The other Yihime usually wear formidable beast masks, hair ornaments polished with Yizhou's specialty nephrite jade on their heads, and their clothes are also Dongan-style style, not as "showy" as Kaihua Ji.
And more importantly, in terms of ability......
Other Yi Ji's abilities are purely for killing, such as being able to give tribal warriors who have passed the trial the power to tear apart tigers and leopards, and can stimulate the combat power of tribal warriors through screaming.
Kaihua Ji does not have these abilities at all, but can extract manpower, train warriors, and also be able to point the technology tree......
