After the flotilla returned to the banquet on the day, Sun Xing and Qu Liulang came to the local meeting hall with Wang Yong and others, and took turns to tell everyone about the process.

This time, the fleet went east, rested for the night near Sungsan, and then continued eastward, and because it was a new type of sea vessel, it took only four days to reach the southern town of Goguryeo, ----- Comfortseong (now Seoul, South Korea).

Originally the capital of Baekje, it was captured by Goguryeo 80 years ago, and is now an important town in the south, because the plains of the Han River valley where it is located are rich in land, so trade is very prosperous.

Merchant ships from the Southern Dynasties and Baekje often came here to 'trade', and 20% of the goods carried by the fleet were bought by these fleets.

Subsequently, the fleet sold only 50% of the goods, and then bought some local goods from Goguryeo and continued south. In mid-February, come to the port near the Baekje capital city of Sihyun.

Baekje was founded in 18 BC on the south bank of the Han River by King Wenjo, the third son of Goguryeo's founder, Zhu 'Mong', according to the 'Bang' sons themselves.

However, according to the historical materials of Liaodong recorded in the Later Han Dynasty, it is inferred that the state of Baekje should have been established after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty at the earliest.

At its peak, Baekje encompassed most of the western part of the Korean Peninsula, reaching as far north as Pyongyang and gradually annexing Mahan in the south. When it was strong, he even defeated Goguryeo for a time and killed the king of Goguryeo.

This surprised Wang Ze, who once thought that Baekje was just a weak country that was oppressed by Goguryeo, and he didn't expect that Baekje had ever been so bullish!

Baekje has fertile land, a mild climate, superior water conservancy conditions, and a relatively developed agriculture, and has even begun to raise silkworms and spin silk.

At this time, Baekje was in a period of cultural heyday, and the reigning king was Buyeo Chang, who was known as King Waideok, and he had a large number of sea ships, making it a maritime power at that time.

After moving the capital to Sihyun, he made every effort to absorb the culture of the Southern Dynasties, widely used Chinese characters, and established a Confucian education system in the 4th century.

Beginning in the ninth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (384 AD), Baekje repeatedly requested cultural imports from the Southern Dynasty. In the 7th year of Emperor Wu of Liang's reign (541), Baekje asked Emperor Wu of Liang to 'ask for scriptures such as Nirvana, Dr. Mao's poems, craftsmen, painters, etc.

The two led the fleet to stay for more than 10 days at the seaport near Sihyun, and after collecting a large amount of information and information on Baekje, they continued southward and encountered a strong wind and wave after bypassing a series of islands and reefs in the south.

The fleet made an emergency stop at a large nearby island, which according to the chart was supposed to be the island named Jeju on the chart.

Qu Liulang and Sun Xing agreed that the name given by Xiao Langjun is good, and everyone sailing on this sea is not in the same boat?

At this time, there were only about 20,000 indigenous people on Jeju Island, and the inhabitants of Jeju Island were called Zhou Hu by China, with a short body and shaved hair, because they resembled the Xianbei people, and were once considered by later historians to be the descendants of the Xianbei people. He likes to raise cattle and pigs, and his clothes are up and down, similar to his 'naked' body.

During this period, Tamna was a vassal state of Baekje, but as a small country between Baekje, Silla, and Wa, it also had eye to eye with the two countries, and from time to time merchant ships from various countries docked to rest and replenish.

Therefore, when the fleet led by the two docked, it did not attract too much attention from the Tamna people, but some Tamna people came to 'trade' as usual.

Even in winter, the Tamna region is relatively mild, so the latest woolen wool from the cottages brought by the fleet is not valued by the locals.

Fortunately, these woolen wool have already been 'traded' between Goguryeo and Baekje, and the goods on the ship are purely samples left for the purpose of opening up sales.

Therefore, whether it is sold or not, the two of them don't care.

On the contrary, a large number of iron-made agricultural tools carried on the ship were frantically purchased by the islanders, and a large number of pearls and corals were exchanged for them.

Later, I learned that in the past few years, the countries of the North and the South have been fighting endlessly, and the iron smelted by themselves is not enough, so the steel is restricted from leaving the country.

Not to mention the level of iron-making in Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Wa Kingdom, there were also endless wars between several countries, and the consumption of iron tools was also very large.

Therefore, the Tamna people have been extremely short of iron farming tools in recent years, and when they saw that the fleet had brought iron tools, they went crazy to buy them. If it weren't for the fact that the fleet had four or five hundred people, I was afraid that it would have been robbed.

Speaking of this, Qu Liulang smiled at Wang Ze and said, "Xiao Langjun, I'm afraid that your attention to Tamluo will be in vain!" ”

"Hey, how did the sixth brother see it?" Wang Ze was taken aback, and then reacted, "I'm afraid that the nautical chart I drew leaked out!" ”

Qu Liulang nodded yes, and said in a solemn voice: "Xiao Langjun, I waited in Baekje that day, and saw the mighty ships of his country, not to mention a hundred. Tamna is also a subject country of Baekje, only more than 150 miles away from the southern part of Baekje. It is also 200 miles away from Silla and Wa Kingdom, and it is a key place between the three kingdoms, and it is not easy to seek this place! ”

Tamna originally claimed to be a vassal to Silla, but when Baekje failed to attack Silla, he turned to conquer Tamna and made it a subject state of Baekje.

At this time, the Wa kingdom had a special interest in the Mu-han region in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and was in a de facto alliance with Silla, and united with Silla to put pressure on Baekje to force Baekje to withdraw from the occupied Mu-han region.

The geographical location of Tamna is between several countries, and the location is very delicate, so Qu Liulang and Sun Xing are quite worried.

When Wang Yong and the others heard that Wang Ze really had the attention to fight Tamluo, they also persuaded Wang Ze: "Da Lang, since this place is a place of right and wrong, let's find another place!" ”

Cheng Chong also said: "Da Lang, why do you want to plot the outer land, our cottage is now a soldier's 'fine' food, once the world is 'chaotic', we can create a big thing!" ”

Wang Ze smiled bitterly, the general historical trend of the next few decades, others don't know, but he still knows roughly.

In the nearly two hundred years since then, whether it was the original Western Wei Dynasty, the current Northern Zhou Dynasty, or the later Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were all the stage of the Guanlong Xianbei military aristocratic group.

In the past hundreds of years, the Guanlong Xianbei military aristocratic group can be said to have produced many talents, and now the strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is unstoppable.

When the time comes, it's really not enough to rely on these people to conquer the world, so it's better to find a way back as soon as possible.

So Wang Ze told everyone what he was worried about and chose 'sex', and everyone was silent and pondered one by one.

Because over the past few years, Wang Ze has done a lot of things under the banner of immortal disciples, and his analysis of the general trend of the world several times is also quite in line with the subsequent development.

It's just that Wang Yong, Cheng Chong, Zhu Rui and other cadres are extremely reluctant to give up the huge foundation that has been developed in the cottage.

At this time, Wang Ze said to Wang Yong: "Daddy, in a few months, the child wants to personally lead the team to Tamna to seek this place, thinking that it will be our future inheritance." ”

"Absolutely not, Xiao Lang Jun, Fang Cai Liulang has already made it clear that Tamluo is a land of right and wrong, and Xiao Lang Jun is the eldest son of the Great Commander, so he needs to take care of himself!" Before the others could speak, the military advisor Lu Ze had already hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Rest assured, I will not act rashly, and in a few months, I will prepare carefully, and we will go to the shipyard to build 20 more large ships this year, and we will go there at that time." Even if Wang Ze persuaded Lu Wen, he was also telling Wang Yong and several uncles.

Wang Yong was also anxious: "Ze'er, you have to think about it carefully, you are going, I am afraid that your mother will be worried, I think you should think about it more!" ”

"Mother's place, the child will go to persuade him, not to mention that the child has two younger brothers, but I am afraid that the mother will not have time to estimate other ~~~~~," Wang Ze said.

It turned out that in the past two years, Wang Ze also had two younger brothers, the eldest brother was just two years old, and the third brother had just finished the full moon wine last month.

Wang Yong knew his son very well, and seeing that Wang Ze's attitude was so resolute, he had no choice but to agree.

Then, Qu Liulang continued to give the topic that had just been interrupted.

"After a delay of more than ten days on Tamna Island, it was the end of February, and the two of us set sail to prepare for the Japanese country, and traveled east to 200 miles.

After a pause, he said, "At this time, the population of the whole country is about 1.45 million, and Ding Zhuang is about 3.4 million. The country is divided into three major islands, namely Tsukushi, Iyo, and Honshu, and there are many mountains and forests and few flat lands, so there is a large amount of land reclamation in Silla. ”

Sun Xing added at this time: "Although the people of the Wa Kingdom were short, they were extremely aggressive, and when the fleet came to the shore, there were samurai who fought each other for some reason. However, the swords we brought with us were extremely popular. ”

It turned out that Wang Ze's thoughts were indeed sinister, so he asked the iron workshop to roughly make a batch of iron swords with extremely thin and light sword bodies, and then paste a thin layer of steel on the blade of the sword, and then beat it.

In Cao's blacksmith's opinion, this is Wang Ze fooling around again, but he still made hundreds of them to deal with things, but these iron swords that Cao blacksmith didn't look down on were sold for an unexpected price when they arrived in the Wa Kingdom.

The people of the Japanese country are short, and when they saw this sword, they thought that this sword was so light and agile, and it could be made of such a length, and what was even worse was that the snow-bright steel blade was so sharp, and it was indeed worthy of being produced by the Heavenly Empire, and they were vying to buy it.

As a result, each sword was sold for a sky-high price of two catties of gold, although the Wa country produced more gold, but this price was also high in the Wa country.

On the return voyage, there were pirates from the Japanese kingdom who followed him, and were left behind by the fast speed of the fleet, and then Sun Xingqu Rokuro decided to go to Silla to investigate again, so he sent a ship to return to the voyage first.

However, because the warships of the three kingdoms were 'fighting' each other on the sea near Silla, a group of warships of the Japanese kingdom saw that the fleet was about to approach the captured fleet, and the two immediately turned around when they saw that the situation was not good, and they were chased out of the way for a hundred and ten miles before they were thrown away, and the two had no choice but to turn back and sail towards Tamna.

At this time, Tamluo Island is also considered to be sparsely populated, but Sun Xing is old, no matter what Wang Ze plans, he still has to prepare first. So he stayed for a few days when Fang Hang stayed in Tamna, and bought tens of thousands of acres of grassland near the sea in the north of the island for future use.

Wang Ze was very excited when he heard this, and hurriedly praised the two for doing a good job, and immediately asked Wang Yong to arrange hundreds of people to go to the reclamation.

Wang Yong immediately arranged for a convoy of boats carrying 500 cattle and 5,000 sheep to Tamna a few days later.

Then everyone hid from Wang Ze's mother, Gongxi, and silently prepared for the upcoming voyage.
