Chapter 286: Zhou Hu
When Bai Tu saw the news from Fuyang, he was also puzzled - Jia Xu would actually accept Zhang Chunhua as a student? That's not his character!
Rashly accepting such a "swaggering" student, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of others?
Unless...... Zhang Chunhua gave him a threat to his life?
However, Bai Tu didn't have any opinion on this, but another news of Fuyang made Bai Tu a little depressed - Lu Yi still didn't find it.
Previously, after the fall of Fuyang City and the collapse of the defense line of Dafu Mountain, Lu Yi and the remnants of the Euphorbia Warriors withdrew from the battlefield and did not find their bodies, and Fuyang's army also searched for a period of time, but did not find them.
Bai Tu was a little disappointed by this, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it would be good if Lu Yi could return to the northern battlefield and find some awkwardness for Cao Cao......
At this moment, Bai Tu's golden seal trembled, as if there was some specially marked news, so he hurriedly came to Chengji Mansion.
In addition to Jinling Ji, Yu Ji's projection is also there, and Yu Ji is always soaked in Jinling Ji's Chengji Mansion, which even makes Bai Tu wonder if it is after the death of the overlord, Yu Ji's hobbies have changed in the long years......
Although the General's Mansion is getting stronger and stronger, Jin Lingji's sanity has also recovered more and more, and occasionally his eyes can see flashes of agility from time to time, not as dull as when he was just "Xian Zhiwen".
And the so-called urgency is only an "urgent report", and Bai Tu has set several kinds of letters and newspapers to remind the urgent report.
Since six signal towers have also been built around Jinling, the speed of directly reporting to the Chengji Mansion is faster than the war general's message.
And this time, the news came from the east - the news of the Ganning fleet!
At this time, Ganning has been going to sea for four months, and the plan is to send Guan Ning and Lu Xun all the way to Yizhou, and then go north to take the sea route to Liaodong, and received the news of Ganning's last Wu County docking more than two months ago.
Compared with the first time I went to Yizhou, this second time I was familiar with the sea route, from Biling near the mouth of the Yangtze River, it only took a month and a half to go back and forth to Yizhou!
If the route can be further clarified, this time can be compressed, and if the speed and distance of the ship are simply calculated, it can even be a round trip for several days, but ...... In fact, with current technology, it is difficult to locate at sea.
For example, the first time Zhuge Zhi discovered Yizhou in history was a year after going to sea......
From the sea route north to Liaodong, it is actually less difficult than looking for Yizhou, and no matter how bad it is, you can walk along the continental shelf.
And because it can sail offshore, a small fleet can be sent back at any time to deliver the news......
However, it has only been two months, counting the time when the letter came back, this should still be the news that came back a month ago, naturally it is not that the main fleet has arrived in Liaodong, but ...... Gan Ning happened to find "Juhu", that is, Jeju Island in later generations, so he sent someone back to report it first.
Considering the time it would take for the ships to return to Qu'a, if all went well, Ganning's main fleet should have arrived in Liaodong by now.
According to the information sent back, Gan Ning arrived at the location of "Zhou Hu" a month ago and found the Tamna Kingdom here—this is the Chinese name given by Bai Tu after seeing it.
Compared to Yiju, which is still in the tribal stage, Juhu, that is, Jeju Island, has now emerged as a unified kingdom.
Although the smelting and planting technology is relatively primitive, it has also become a system and has its own writing, which belongs to a civilization that attaches equal importance to planting and animal husbandry.
Other than that...... Ganning discovered that the seafaring technology of the Tamna Kingdom was more "developed" than that of cultivation and animal husbandry.
Of course, it is more in the "software", that is, some nautical technology, as far as the construction of ships...... It's still very primitive!
The Sanhan people in the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula were given their names - Gan Nyeong also took a long time to understand that these people were "Juhu", unlike the isolation of Yiju, the Seonghu people now not only have their own kingdom, but also have sea exchanges with Samhan.
Historically, during the Three Kingdoms period, the ships of the Tamna Kingdom were even able to reach the Central Plains, especially from the Western Jin Dynasty, the people of the Tamna Kingdom gradually began to be keen on trade with the Central Plains and Sanhan, and by the time of the Tang Dynasty, the Tamna Kingdom was also one of the countries that often paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and it was also at that time that the Tang people began to translate their country as "Tamna" or "Shiluo".
Therefore, now in the Tamna Kingdom, regardless of the craftsmanship, the planting and animal husbandry are also very primitive, but they have a better understanding of the sea.
Therefore, Gan Ning also directly hired the local Zhouhu people, as well as the Sanhan people in Zhouhu, and they used them as guides to continue sailing north—this route is familiar to them!
It is precisely because the Zhouhu people have connections with the Sanhan people, and the Sanhan people also have ties with the Han people, so Ganning will not have no means of communication with them, and they can even find Sanhan merchants who understand Chinese in Zhouhu.
After all, the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula (not Goguryeo, referring to a sensitive place name) is still the four Han counties - even if the control is reduced, at least Xuansu and Liaodong are still the Han people, and the two counties of Lelang and Obifang are still nominally under the control of Gongsun Du, and the Buyeo State is still mixed here, and the lord of the country is still the son-in-law of Gongsun Du, and in the face of the threat of the Xianbei people in the north, the Goguryeo people in the northeast, and the three Han people in the south, the Buyeo State is very dependent on Gongsun Du.
Compared with Yizhou, Zhouhu was more educated at this time, and it was also easier to communicate.
Seeing that Gan Ning's fleet still had armor, and there was not even a frontal conflict, he directly invited Gan Ning to the royal capital.
At this time, the ordinary Zhou Hu people lived in animal skin tents in summer and caves in winter, and only stone houses could be seen in Wangcheng.
And Ganning's identity as a Han general can also be recognized by the Sanhan people who are merchants here, and he was soon treated as a guest in Tamna.
After all......
This fleet, even if it is divided into two and fights again, the remaining remnant is enough to destroy the two back and forth of Tamna.
It was precisely because of the exchange that he even found the Sanhan people, so Bai Tu believed that Gan Ning should have arrived in Liaodong.
Gan Ning's return this time is mainly to report his attitude towards Zhou Hu.
Because the Zhou Hu people had dealt with the Sanhan people before, they had also heard of the "Han", and when they saw Gan Ning's fleet, although it was the first contact, they saniently did not have a conflict.
Gan Ning went to Liaodong to trade, and naturally brought a large amount of grain, grass, brocade, silk cloth and ...... Farm tools and weapons!
A little unloaded one-tenth of the goods in Zhouhu, although it did not include weapons, it was enough to suppress the other party's "star lord".
The state of Hu, or the kingdom of Tamna, is called the "Star Lord" and the general is called the "Prince", and he is the top ruler of the kingdom.
In addition to the royal capital, the living conditions of the local people are similar to those of the "wild people" in China in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they are still in a semi-tribal culture.
The items traded were mainly honey and slaves - of course, according to the rules of the General's Palace, if a slave was brought back to the control of the General's Palace, it was automatically deemed to be a cancellation of the deed of sale and a ten-year deed.
Gan Ning didn't want to bring it back, except for honey, he mainly asked the "Star Lord" for a port, or leased land, and promised that after the Han army was stationed, more goods would be traded every year.
At first, the star lord and the general were a little unhappy, but while Gan Ning was practicing outside the royal capital, he privately assured the star lord and prince that if the Sanhan people had any thoughts about their kingdom in the future, the upright Han general could mediate on his behalf......
