"Governor, there's a coastline ahead! See the coastline too! It's the direction in which the sun rises! ”

On the main ship of the Fufune fleet, a naval soldier stood in the watchtower on the mast and shouted excitedly.

When "Gandudu" heard this, he immediately took off into the air and looked at the east from afar, where the sun had just risen......

Before going to sea, in addition to Gan Ning's position as the Taishou remained unchanged, symbolizing waiting for his return, Bai Tu also named him the Governor of the Navy.

It represents that Gan Ning has the supreme command of the naval fleet, and to avoid the disagreements and decentralization that may occur after going to sea to the greatest extent, to ensure that Gan Ning has the highest authority!

It can be said that if Gan Ning wants to be "Xu Fu", as long as he drifts all the way down the river......

Of course, Bai Tu understands no matter how well Gan Ning will never be the king of savages - he has supreme power, but he wants to be far away from prosperity and enjoyment, and even away from aesthetics? How other people will choose, Bai Tu doesn't know, but Bai Tu believes that Gan Ning will definitely be the same as himself, and he will never choose like this!

Going to sea is different from being on land, especially when it is the first time to explore the route, and no one knows how long it will be on the sea, and any slight constraint at this time may become a foreshadowing of the total destruction of this navy.

Giving Gan Ning the greatest authority is a trust in Gan Ning and a responsibility for the safety of this navy!

Gan Ning took off into the air at this time, and the helmet of the battle armor stretched out the "farsighted lens" in the eye socket - this is the function after loading the telescope.

Sure enough, it is the coastline that I have been thinking about for a long time, and although it is not like the land of China, it is also full of mountains and forests, and it seems that there are several islands connected, not like ordinary small islands - it has been three months since I went to sea, even Gan Ning, seeing this coastline, my heart is also a little excited.

After all, it has been two months since I left the last land port, and in the past 60 days, when I looked around, there was only the endless sea around me, and the small islands I occasionally found were all bitter water and dead places, and everyone would have some psychological disorders.

Fortunately, I was well prepared before, not only did I have enough fresh water, but also to prevent fresh water from rotting, and I also brought a large amount of blended light wine, beans used to make bean sprouts to prevent scurvy, and tea leaves for boiling tea, and even brought special entertainment utensils, which were well prepared in all aspects......

This also strengthened the confidence of the officers and men of the navy, otherwise, if the water source is insufficient halfway, I am afraid that in this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, the morale will quickly fall out, and people will be easily impetuous.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were already sayings of Yizhou and Bozhou.

Although some folk rumors say that this is the name of "Overseas Immortal Mountain", in fact, some people in the Jiangdong clan vaguely know that there are two such islands overseas.

Because in the coastal land of Wu Yue, you can occasionally see the natives of the two states who come to trade, so in the middle and late Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan will send Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen to the sea to find Yizhou and Bozhou, hoping to plunder overseas Yi people to enrich the Wu State.

It's not that Sun Quan had a whim, he had to go overseas to find "Xianshan", at least at that time, Yizhou and Bozhou would have sporadically communicated with Wu Yue.

Even Sun Quan believed in the common sense summarized from "hearing and guessing", such as ...... It is believed that there are more than 100,000 households in Yizhou, and it is believed that Bozhou is farther away and has a larger population......

At that time, the scholar-type Confucian also inherited the mantle of Confucius, and relied on imagination to make up for all the things he didn't know.

Those who swore by it said that Yizhou was two thousand miles southeast of Linhai County......

Well, Linhai County is a county in the east of Jiaozhou, which is about the location of Fujian in the future, and the general location of the southeast is correct, but it is ...... Two thousand miles? That's three or four times the number!

Although many Wu ministers felt that this matter was unreliable at that time, Sun Quan still insisted on sending Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen to the sea - it can also be seen how desperate Sun Quan was for the Northern Expedition, and he would rather seek overseas people.

And in history, Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen were even worse than Gan Ning, sailing for more than a year, according to the charts made up by those people's brains, the tens of thousands of soldiers who went around and around died ninety, and the ships of the fleet were also greatly reduced, and finally arrived at Yizhou a year later, that is, the treasure island of later generations......

This is also the first time that Chinese civilization has begun to form a cultural influence on the treasure island!

It's a pity that Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen, with the rest of the soldiers, sent back thousands of Yimin by fraud and robbery, but they were beheaded by Sun Quan for a crime of "violating the edict" - after all, the losses are too heavy to outweigh the losses, and there was a group of ministers who opposed it before, and Sun Quan didn't want to bear this pot himself!

In contrast, Gan Ning is much luckier now, not only is he more prepared, but also the route is clearer, the size of the Fuchuan fleet is also larger, and the technology is higher, it only took three months from Wu Jun to go to sea, and the last time he went to sea in a coastal port was two months ago, and now he has seen "Yizhou"......

This is also why, Bai Tu made "Xunyizhou" a novice task of the navy, instead of going north to Liaodong.

Judging from the historical experience of Soochow, it takes longer to go to the sea from Jiangdong to Liaodong than to find Yizhou, just because it can dock along the coast, so it is much safer, and more importantly, it is ...... Won't get lost.

In terms of actual distance and location, it is much easier to go to Yizhou than to go north to Liaodong.

However, the "Yizhou" that Gan Ning saw at this time was not a treasure island, but the Penghu Islands not far from the treasure island!

But in the eyes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this belongs to the category of "Yizhou".

Because the Fu ship is a single keel pointed bottom ship in terms of structure, the requirements for the depth of the port and the water situation are higher when docking, so it is around to a small half a week, Gan Ning found a good position, as close as possible to the island, after anchoring, take a small boat, and go to "Yizhou"!

Such a ostentatious circumambulation around the island has naturally attracted the attention of some "natives" for a long time, and at the time of landing, some people had already gathered on the shore......

But Gan Ning is not worried - his side is all elite soldiers, and these natives, even if some metal spearheads are "artifacts", what is there to fear?

This means that you don't have bad intentions, otherwise the other party should be afraid!

And in fact, in the Penghu Islands, the two sides can still communicate simply......

The treasure island itself was influenced by the Chinese civilization and began in the Three Kingdoms period, but ...... However, in the pre-Qin period, there were refugees from Zhuxia countries who came here to avoid disasters.

As for why the Penghu Islands and the Treasure Island are so close, but they have not been able to bring the Chinese civilization to the Treasure Island?

Mainly because these people are here to avoid disasters, most of them are remnants of the country who can't live their lives, and the natives on the treasure island, although they are still very primitive, have already become large-scale after all, and they are not affected by these refugees.

For primitive civilizations, it is not "advanced" that necessarily spreads to "backward", if the fist is not big enough, the reverse is possible!

Moreover, the environment of the Penghu Islands, to be honest, has a very low livability index, which is far from the result of later generations opening up and improving......

However, it is better than landing directly on the treasure island and facing the local natives, at least the navy brought by Gan Ning is of the same root as the people of the Penghu Islands, although the two sides have no understanding of the language, but even the words with analogies can also be carried out in a simple exchange.

And as pre-Qin immigrants, although they have multiplied for hundreds of years under such harsh conditions, many living habits have long been very different from those of the Han family, and the conditions do not allow them to abide by the cumbersome etiquette of the pre-Qin dynasty, but ...... At least they don't have to be as barbaric as primitive tribes, even if there are fights with each other, but there are no cruel religious rituals and mutual slaughter.

Even some of the bamboo slips and utensils brought by their ancestors are kept.

Penghu people...... That is, the people of Yizhou in the opinion of the Ganning Navy, they are still very enthusiastic at this time.

Although he was startled by the big boat that Gan Ning and the others were on at first, and was a little wary, after discovering that Gan Ning and the others had no malicious intentions, they quickly took out food and water to entertain these guests from afar.

At this time, Gan Ning specially brought only a few dozen human generals, in order not to arouse the vigilance and tension of the other party, he did not come too many people, nor did he bring Ji Zao soldiers.

Led by a man in his thirties, but who looks to be middle-aged, it seems that he has become acquainted with Gan Ning, and the two even talk and compare, and they don't know if the meaning of each other has really been conveyed......

Gan Ning also ordered the crew to bring some wine, cured meat, tea and silk and linen as a return gift to these "Yizhou people".

Of course, the heaviest gift was the one that Bai Tu reminded him to bring in advance - boxes and boxes of hoes and iron heads of rakes!

For the man who talked and laughed with him, Gan Ning even untied his saber and gave it to him.

After seeing Gan Ning's kindness, these pre-Qin remnants also took them to their own settlements.

These metal farming tools allow them to welcome guests from afar in the grandest way......

They were originally remnants of the pre-Qin period, and there were not so many rules at that time.

Weekly rites? Zhou Li is a high-class person and a scholar, and he has nothing to do with these "refugees".

Especially since it has been bred in this environment for hundreds of years, the customs are ...... Well, anyway, from Gan Ning's point of view, everyone is also dressed a little "sexy".

After both sides gradually lowered their guards, Gan Ning pulled the middle-aged man led by him, returned to the beach, and told him that there were still many companions.

After that, the entire fleet, 3,000 humans and more than 10,000 soldiers, began to land one after another.

After watching the first half, the middle-aged man looked at Gan Ning excitedly, pointing and shaking his head.

Gan Ning also understands that this is telling himself - there is not so much food!

Gan Ning signaled that they all brought food, not to flee, and the middle-aged man was relieved.

But...... Gan Ning is also really worried - if the so-called "Yizhou" is this scale, they will really lose a bit on this trip.

Although he was not worried that Bai Tu would dump the pot, Gan Ning himself was not reconciled......

Fortunately, there were still twenty scribes in the fleet—when they were first selected, they could be called dead soldiers!

Because it was discovered that "Yizhou" was not the focus, and Baitu did not want to plunder the population and resources, but to immigrate and control, so a group of scribes were specially recruited - all of them were "Xinxue" scribes trained by the General's Mansion itself.

They may have known how to read before, but what they really went to "further study" was the "new learning" they learned in the county school.

And...... Most of them are not from poor backgrounds, otherwise they would not be able to go to school, let alone sign up for the sea.

Three days later, these scribes finally understood the situation here from those antiquities and the difficult exchanges with the natives, and also let Gan Ning know that this is not the real "Yizhou......
