Chapter 248: Attacking the Weak
From some fragmented records, the scribes of the Ganning Navy finally discovered that Yizhou was not only these dozens of scattered islands—in fact, from the perspective of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were less than ten small islands that could be regarded as "slightly valuable".
The real Yizhou Island is still further east, and even when Gan Ning flies to the limit of the gilded armor and uses a telescope to look into the distance, he can already see some shadows of the "huge" coastline!
It is not far from the Yizhou Islands, and these Zhuxia immigrants have also been there by their ancestors, but only the unfriendly warnings of the local natives are still circulating......
However, for Gan Ning, this is obviously not a problem, and after resting for a few days on the Yizhou Islands, Gan Ning set sail again with a seventy percent fleet.
You can vaguely see the coastline with a telescope, which is very comfortable......
Three days later, he came to the front of the main island of Yizhou, looking at the scale of this big island, Gan Ning also breathed a sigh of relief - this trip was not in vain!
At this time, the occupation of Yizhou, for the General's Mansion, the real significance lies in the construction of a secret shipyard at sea - the secret is so secret that outsiders can't come at all.
And a Yizhou with warships can be near Huai Jiaozhou, China can remotely control South Vietnam, and far away can Xuanwei Nanyang.
For Nanyang or something, the concept of Gan Ning is not big, after all, when it comes to Nanyue in the Han Dynasty, it is Nanyue, or the land of Baiyue.
Nanyue, one refers to the Nanyue State established by Zhao Tuo at the end of the Qin war, including the current Jiaozhou, the southernmost point can reach the north-central part of Vietnam in later generations, and the other is to represent the Nanyue region, that is, the entire Indochina Peninsula...... Later generations of Thailand, Burma, Laos...... All of them can be regarded as South Vietnam.
However, in the case of the Nanyang, or the Nanyang Islands, there is almost no communication now, and the "Nanyang" mentioned in the geographical chronicles of the Hanshu is also a guide.
It was only in the Sui and Tang dynasties that there were recorded exchanges with Nanyang, and in the Ming Dynasty, "going to Nanyang" was regarded as a novice task of "going to the West......
Gan Ning hadn't heard of Nanyang before, but ...... Since it was Bai Tu who said it, he believed it.
However, the previous Yizhou Islands disappointed Gan Ning - such a small scattered island, even if it is fully cultivated, how can the people survive? Thousands of households are afraid that they are all reluctant!
How can this bear the expectations of the General's Mansion for Yizhou?
It wasn't until the discovery of the local records of Yizhou that Gan Ning rekindled hope, but ...... According to the description of Zhuxia immigrants, it is only vaguely said that it is "the size of a country", so Gan Ning was still a little apprehensive before, after all, it was a country in the Spring and Autumn Period...... At best, it's bigger than the current general's palace controlling the territory, but if it's smaller...... I'm afraid it's not as good as just a county!
Now that he has really come to the main island of Yizhou, Gan Ning has finally put his mind at ease - the task has been completed perfectly.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is that, as the Zhuxia immigrants said, the Yi people in Yizhou are not friendly to outsiders.
The Zhuxia immigrants in the Yizhou Islands have basically given up going to the mainland, although the other party is still a rough copper and stone axe technology, but it can't stand the many people, and ...... The smelting technology of the Zhuxia immigrants is only slightly stronger, and the number of people is far inferior to that of the other party.
However, in the face of Ganning's regular army, these Yi natives are obviously not enough.
When Gan Ning and the others had just landed in a small boat, a group of Yi people swarmed up, it should be a tribe by the sea - it could be seen that the other party was already able to use a weapon similar to a bow and arrow, but it was ...... Does this have a range of thirty paces?
Gan Ning tried his best to use body language to show kindness, but he didn't get a friendly response, the other party was still trying to drive them away with something that barely counted bows and arrows, and Gan Ning had to order first: "Throw the ground!" Watch the distance! ”
I saw that after a round of projectiles, countless steel-tipped arrows pierced the land in front of the indigenous Yi people......
Listening to the thunderous rain of arrows and watching the sharp blade that fell from the sky and entered the ground for three points, the opponent's offensive stagnated.
Even they understood that if these arrows were fired directly, they would have become "prey" long ago.
And at this moment, Gan Ning also stepped forward with armor and cut off an ancient tree that was hugged by several people!
With the fall of the ancient tree, a group of hundreds of people in disheveled clothes immediately let out an exclamation of unknown meaning and fled back to the mountains and forests in a mess.
Bai Tu told Gan Ning that for the natives of Zhuzhou, they should not be killed indiscriminately, and they should not be "Yixia distinguished" and talk about the difference between humans and animals, and they need to understand from their own position that both Yiren and Zhuxia are real "people", and those who rely on their strength and raise their butcher's knives against ignorance are beasts.
Of course......
On the premise that they are all "people", there is also a difference between enemies and friends, which is not that Gan Ning can't fight back or scold back.
In the face of the natives who blindly attacked wildly, Gan Ning also chose to use absolute force to deter first.
Since the Yi people here are not as friendly as the Zhuxia immigrants, Gan Ning also chose a different strategy.
First let his soldiers choose a suitable location to camp in the area near the coastline, and gradually transport most of the soldiers by boat, and then start to the island step by step, chasing the indigenous settlement just now!
The way these natives fought was still rudimentary, and the means of hiding their whereabouts when retreating seemed to Gan Ning's scouts to be completely "open-eyed".
That night, the scouts had already reported to Gan Ning the location of this indigenous settlement near the sea.
The indigenous people in this place, there are probably hundreds of families by sight, because ...... They mainly live in caves, and the scouts only make a slight estimate based on the number of people they see.
Judging from the situation of Zhuxia immigrants, a tribe has hundreds of households, which should not be considered a small scale.
In addition, some traces of planting have also been found in the vicinity of the settlement, but they are still very early and ...... From the point of view of planting area, the Yi people here should be mainly fishing and hunting, supplemented by planting.
In fact, the Zhuxia immigrants in the Yizhou Islands also paid equal attention to gathering and farming - after all, they were immigrants who came in the pre-Qin period, and in the pre-Qin period, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were not many pure agricultural countries in the Zhuxia period.
In areas where wild chestnuts grow in Yanshan, the basic "wild people" can use wild chestnuts as their staple food by picking them, and they can make a living by pure collection.
The real and complete transformation of agriculture was after the unification of the Han Dynasty and the outbreak of population expansion.
After Gan Ning was rewarded, he ordered a night of repairs, and the next day, he led dozens of soldiers to the settlement.
In order to avoid further irritating the other party, Gan Ning did not bring many people, and did not expose the sword weapon.
But even so, it still attracted the vigilance of the other party, but when Gan Ning came to the front of the settlement, the Yi natives shrank in the cave, and from the dark cave entrances, they could vaguely feel the eyes of vigilance and fear.
Of course, it's not like a stupid roe deer, pretending that the "enemy" can't see you......
Before the cave nest, it was already filled with all kinds of food, animal skins, and shells...... and a naked girl, sitting in the center with an expressionless face.
The appearance of the aborigines is somewhat different from that of the Han people, with a weaker body and darker skin, which can be said to be ...... Even if neither side used weapons, the ordinary military commanders on the Ganning side could fight five or six of these thin and short "young and strong".
However, this is regarded as a "offering" girl, which is obviously carefully selected, out of universal aesthetics, and it also makes Gan Ning feel ...... It's not bad, well, it's just not bad.
Although it was the first time Gan Ning had seen it here, he had a little logical reasoning ability and could understand what it meant.
Perhaps in Yizhou, the battle between the tribes is like this—the loser gives food, property, and...... Beautiful girl.
Looking at the naked woman, some of Gan Ning's generals were also a little straight-eyed.
Although the aesthetic is somewhat deviant, it ...... It's just a small tribe, and with their force, here is not possible...... emmm……
The devil always whispers in the ears of the "strong".
One of the generals couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then ...... After pooping, his buttocks hurt, and he was kicked by Gan Ning.
"Governor ......" The general looked at Gan Ning with some wrongedness, and I didn't do anything...... No, I didn't even say anything!
"Go back and copy the military rules and precepts ten times!" Gan Ning said expressionlessly.
The general didn't dare to refute, but he said with joy: "Dudu, the paper and pen are only enough for the teachers to use...... Or I'd better keep vigil. ”
"At the vigil, write on the ground, and I'll check tomorrow morning." Gan Ning continued to be expressionless.
Partial General A: ......
I saw Gan Ning walking towards the thin woman at this time, and at the same time untied the brocade robe on her body.
Originally, there was almost no supply for two months, and the fifty sets of brocade robes that Gan Ning brought were no longer enough to be changed, so he could only ...... Pick a relatively clean one to wear every day.
However, when he was supplying fresh water to the Yizhou Islands before, Gan Ning finally washed all the brocade robes - well, although he couldn't take off one piece and throw one away like when he was in Yangzhou, he would never wear it a second time, and if he didn't throw five or six pieces a day, he would be considered a day away...... But after washing the brocade robe again, Gan Ning's mood was still a lot better.
The Yiren woman couldn't help but feel a little nervous as she watched the peacock-like man come over.
She knew that she was being placed here as a symbol of submission.
As the victor, if satisfied with her, you can leave with her and the rest of the loot, and she will face the second half of her life as a slave, of course...... It is likely that there will be no second half of life, and it is also very common for the loot to be "consumed" as consumables after a few days.
If the other party is not satisfied, a stone spear will be cut through her chest, indicating that she is rejecting the surrender of her tribe.
How can this not be stressful?
However, after the peacock man came over, he did not use his weapon or pull her away roughly, but untied his "peacock feather".
When she saw the other party stretching out her hand, Yi Nu closed her eyes in fear, but she still didn't dare to make a sound, but in the next moment......
Smooth and supple?
The touch that she had never felt before spread on her skin, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the peacock man's arms were just around the back of her neck, draping the gorgeous peacock feathers on her body......
At this moment, when Yi Nu didn't know what feelings she was feeling, a burst of light appeared in the sky and fell on Yi Nu in a brocade robe.
Accompanied by visions, smells, and sounds...... Yi Nu was shrouded in a beam of light, and the brocade robe cloak she was wearing on her body turned into a well-trimmed brocade robe, and her originally rough skin instantly became shiny and bright, and the dirty hair tips also hung down neatly and naturally.
An aura that is different from human beings, but Han Epitek is very familiar, ripples through Yi Nu's body......
