Yang Ku heard Chen Baxian's invitation to Wang Ze and disagreed with Wang Ze going to the Chen Dynasty, after all, there are too many examples of going to other countries to be forcibly retained.

Seeing that Yang Ku was the first to stand up and oppose his acceptance of the invitation, Wang Ze was also carefully thinking about whether he could go to Nanchen in his heart.

First of all, look at the East China Sea side, because Goguryeo, the overlord of the East China Sea, is devoting its main 'fine' forces to taking advantage of the Northern Qi, and cannot take care of Baekje and Silla in the south for the time being.

The two countries of Baekje and Silla in the southern part of the peninsula are too busy fighting each other to worry about anything else because the pressure on the north and south has been greatly reduced.

The Wa State was wiped out by a total of more than 100,000 troops in several major battles, and the sailors were basically wiped out, and the remaining warships were not enough to defend the sea near the national capital, and it was impossible to attack Qinjin again, so the threat of the Wa State to itself in Qinjin ceased to exist in a short time.

In addition, a series of generals such as Jiang Chuan and Zheng Kui, who have participated in many major wars, defended Jeju Island and Qinjin Island, and Qu Liulang's naval army was stationed in the East China Sea, which was enough to protect the safety of Jeju Island and Qinjin Island.

Daddy Wang Yong Qizhou has the assistance of Pu Yangxun and Lu Wen and other staff officers of the army, and a series of generals such as Ge Wei, Xun Yun, Hu Bingchang, etc., the army under his command is more than 100,000 troops, and there is a naval army led by Sun Xing on the river to block the waterway, which can also withstand the attack of the Qi army for the time being.

In this way, he can still 'take time' to go to Nan Chen, the key is what is the purpose of Nan Chen inviting himself and his father to go over this time?

If he detains himself and wants to blackmail his father, it won't work, because it is impossible for Wang Yong to go to Nanchen to meet Chen Baxian, and he has two younger brothers who are all healthy.

In case Chen Baxian detained himself regardless of the friendship of his allies and caused the two sides to 'fight' each other, such a situation would be very unfavorable to Nan Chen.

Because the Southern Dynasties have always produced little iron, the lack of weapons in the Northern Expedition this time is still thanks to the large amount of iron provided by the cottage to ensure the supply of weapons, so it is more in line with the interests of both sides to maintain a friendly alliance between the two sides.

Wang Zegang thought of Liu Qing, a Taiqing Taoist on the side of this, and said: "Xiao Langjun, Lao Dao has a few words that I want to say!" ”

As soon as he heard Liu Qing want to speak, Wang Ze hurriedly said: "Old immortal, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" "You must know that Liu Qing was born in the 'door' of the Southern Dynasty Dao, and when he was young, he also traveled around and was well-informed, and he is almost a hundred years old now.

Liu Qing flicked his white beard as if he was thinking about something, and was silent for a moment before he slowly said to Wang Ze: "When Chen Baxian just threw himself into Xiao Ying's mansion, Lao Dao had seen this person in Xiao Ying's mansion. At that time, Chen Baxian was just a missionary in Xiao Ying's mansion, but Lao Dao saw his face as an open-minded person.

Moreover, when Chen Duan, the fourth apprentice of the old Tao, traveled to Guangnan and was about to find a place to cultivate in Nanling, he met Chen Baxian in Da Yuling with Chen Ba, who escorted Xiao Yingling's corpse back to Jiankang, so the two had a 'friendship' relationship.

Chen Duan said that he had the ambition of Kuangfu Sheji but no heart of charm, according to what he had done in the Southern Dynasty in recent years, and the situation of treating the Xiao Liang clan well, he could be regarded as a righteous gentleman! ”

Hearing Liu Qing's words, Wang Ze finally made up his mind to go to the Southern Dynasty, since he was reborn, Wang Ze has been yearning for the Southern Dynasty for a long time, but because of the 'chaos' of Hou Jingzhi of the Southern Dynasty and the series of wars 'chaos' after that, he has not had the opportunity to go.

He wanted to see the 'Spring' River, which had not yet been destroyed at this time, and also wanted to see the Stone City, which was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and Chen Baxian, who was the majestic and strategic.

Of course, Wang Ze also wanted to meet Chen Baxian's strange nephew Chen Qian, as well as his famous male queen Han Zigao, who has been passed down through the ages, and he didn't know what he should look like.

Considering that there are still ten days to go before the Chinese New Year, Wang Ze is ready to set off again on Jeju Island for the sixth day of the New Year, after all, the sergeants have gone through many days of fighting since the attack on Pyeongwon-gun, and one team has not had a good rest, and it is time to take a good rest and reunite with their families.

Originally, it would have been possible to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River by sailing west directly from Jeju Island to Namchen for ten days, but Wang Ze did not plan to sail west directly to the mouth of the Yangtze River this time.

He was going to explore the series of islands that Lu Zhen said that Xiao Yu and the others docked when they crossed east, which should be the Ryukyu Islands in the future.

Later generations of Chinese people had very mixed feelings about this string of islands, and the Milicians stationed on them were even more infuriating.

This time, Wang Ze planned to go south along this string of islands, on the one hand, to explore a new route to the south of the Chen Dynasty, and on the other hand, to investigate the location of the settlement and the construction of the port in the future.

····························

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Ze was ready to set off, because Qu Liulang also had to lead the navy to guard the waters around Jeju Island and Qinjin Island, and the Changmen' waterway was also blocked and could not set off with Wang Ze, so Wang Ze only set off with the fleet of fifteen warships under Gu Bin's command.

There were also a large number of ships loaded with immigrants to the Japanese kingdom, all of whom were looking forward to the future, but no one knew that there were two fleets heading for the cold north at the same time.

Wang Ze first had to lead the fleet and the migrant ships to set off for Qinjin together, after all, there was still a certain danger on the surface of the East China Sea.

Although the Japanese navy was completely wiped out, there were still naval forces such as Silla and Baekje that could threaten the migrant ships; In addition, there are a large number of pirates in the East China Sea, so Wang Ze attaches great importance to the safety of migrant ships.

Anyway, going to the southern sea was also to make supplies in Qinjin, so Wang Ze decided to escort the first batch of migrants to arrive safely and stop at Qinjin first, and then turn to the south.

The first place that Qinjin could immigrate to was the Qinjin Peninsula, that is, the old camp of the Liang army where Cao An Mengxian landed for the first time, and there was a city called Nagasaki in later generations.

After the Battle of Chikushijima, a number of settlements had been built there after nearly a month of hard work by a large number of Japanese slaves and prisoners of war.

The first settlers settled here temporarily, and then gradually advanced and occupied the Bungo Plain as the army cleared the island's natives.

After a small meeting with Qu Liulang, Zheng Kui, Cao An, Zhu Bofu and other generals on Qinjin Island, Wang Ze boarded the ship and went south with the fleet.

The voyage at sea is boring, but Miss Cheng and Zhu Qingqing, who are the doctors on board, have added a lot of 'color' to Wang Ze's voyage.

After two days of sailing, the fleet stopped on the shore of a large island with a beautiful scenery on the afternoon of the third day, and after driving around the island for a while, Gu Bin found an excellent harbor on the east side of the island.

Although Wang Ze had never been to the Wa Kingdom in his previous life, judging from the sea charts he had drawn before, the big island docked in front of him should be Yakushima.

There is also a large island called Tanegashima Island in the waters near the east of Osumi Island, and these two islands are the only two large islands in the southern part of Qinjin.

In order to prevent the big ship from running aground, he first sent a fast boat to survey the depth of the water before letting the big ship dock, and the surveyors on the ship had already begun to map the island and its vicinity.

Wang Ze said to Gu Bin, who was directing the fleet to dock: "Commander Gu, let's stop here for two days to investigate the situation on the nearby islands, and if possible, select a few settlement points and the location of the port on the island, so as to supply the merchant ships in the future." ”

Gu Bin belonged to the practical faction, and when he heard Wang Ze's order, he immediately responded to it, not only Yakushima sent people to investigate, but even Tanegashima and some small islands nearby went up to inspect it.

As soon as Gu Bin passed by, Xiao Jing walked out of the cabin with a yawn, looking like he had just woken up from a nap. Because Xiao Jing was familiar with the situation in the Southern Dynasty and had a lot of dealings with some high-ranking nobles, this time he was also dragged by Wang Ze to the Southern Dynasty together, while Yang Ku was left on Jeju Island to preside over civil affairs.

When he heard Wang Ze and Gu Bin's words just now, he looked at the island in front of him again, so he said to Wang Ze: "Xiao Langjun, although this island looks majestic and magnificent, the island looks uninhabited, and it is mostly mountainous, but I am afraid that there are not many flat land, which is not suitable for people to move!" ”

"It's better to investigate first and then draw conclusions, this island is so big, you should still be able to find a few places where you can build a port," Wang Ze said to Xiao Jing with a smile.

In fact, Wang Ze felt that what Xiao Jing said still had some truth, because in later generations, he had not heard of how many people lived in Yakushima, and this era was probably even more unsuitable.

However, the island is densely forested and has many cedar trees, which is suitable for the logging industry, but Wang Ze has always paid attention to protecting the environment, and these logging industries may not be able to be carried out.

However, Yakushima is also a big island after all, and there must still be a few suitable places to live, so let's take a closer look first, and then Wang Ze has a group of surveyors on the ship to draw a sea map of the nearby islands.

In fact, Sun Xing, Qu Liulang, and even He Liang's merchant fleet all had surveyors, and their responsibility was to survey and draw local maps, nautical charts, and so on everywhere they went.

Just as Wang Ze and Xiao Jing were talking, Zhu Qingqing also came out of the cabin with the support of Cheng Xueying, looking a little pale, Wang Ze hurriedly walked over and asked worriedly: "Qingqing, what's wrong?" You okay!? ”

After all, Cheng Xueying has studied medical skills for a few years, and said with a big bag: "Don't worry, Dalang, Qingqing is just a little seasick at sea, just go to the island and rest for a day." ”

Although Zhu Qingqing's face was pale, he still smiled and said softly to Wang Ze: "Dalang, I'm fine, the wind and waves in the morning are a little big and a little dizzy, just take a rest!" ”

So Wang Ze hurriedly shouted Liu Wancheng of the ironclad battalion that had landed and waited for him and the others to go ashore together, and then invited Xiao Jingdao, "Mr. has been floating at sea for a few days, why don't you go to the island with us and others to have a look?" ”

After landing on the island, Cheng Xueying and Zhu Qingqing were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery of the island, and the seaside of Yakushima Island in winter was still unusually warm in the twenties, but from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, several distinct vegetation belts were formed, and the top of the mountain was covered with snow.

The gentle ground by the sea is full of big trees, the most is the big banyan tree, and there are a large number of giant fir trees with a diameter of more than ten meters.

Wang Ze looked at the two 'female' children having fun and smirked, as a guard, Liu Wancheng said on the side: "There are still few cedar trees on Xiao Langjun's side, and when I was driving around the island, I saw that there were obviously more big trees on the west side of the island than here!" The island is full of forests, but there is a lot of game! ”

Saying that Liu Wancheng also 'licked' his mouth and lips, as if he was missing something delicious, Wang Ze looked Liu Wancheng's big man who was nearly 1.9 meters in the future, and muttered in his heart that this product is really a foodie!

He looked at the shady forest on the island and said to Xiao Jing, "Since this island is full of towering giant trees, why don't you call it Giant Wood Island!" ”
