Chapter 314: Arrival in Kyushu
The fleet broke the waves and faced the wind from all directions.
The main ship is a balanced quadrangular galleon with four mast bracing, in a conical formation. Five ships with hulls half the size of the main ship, full of 100 people, and ten sea-exploration ships of similar size to the ship, formed a small mobile fleet to the island of Kyushu.
The eagle flying in the high altitude as an early warning, the ship is usually anchored to the sail ship, and when it encounters the reef area, it will be explored by the ship first, and the trapezoidal inclined sail of the shutter general adjusts the degree of the sail according to the strength and speed of the wind.
It is not as heavy as a sail, it can be easily rolled up and opened, it has better maneuverability, and it can also be used to use the wind by adjusting its own angle.
Oars and rudders are already quite perfect ship technology in modern times, but it took nearly a month to arrive in Kyushu from Xuzhou.
The sailors shouted in response, and the fleet came ashore on a gravel beach.
Because the horses accompanying the sea for a long time were too dragged, Liu Cang's entourage turned into foot soldiers, and when everyone landed on the shore in a small boat, even if Liu Cang and Dian Wei felt that their feet were a little erratic.
The ship, still too small. Speed, still too slow.
Mi Fang, the accompanying leader, praised Liu Cang and the others for adapting to the voyage in a short time, while Liu Cang pondered whether he should combine the steam engine with the sea ship first.
"Your Highness, there are a lot of savages on Wa Island, and any tribe you meet here will say that you are a country, and the Chinese dialect is not spoken here, and you still need to take some precautions against the savages here."
Landing on the coast, Mi Fang brought more than a dozen sailors with swords and shields to Liu Cang's end, although he was vigilant about the surroundings, but there were three hundred elite soldiers under Liu Cang's command, as well as a flock of eagles soaring in the sky, Mi Fang's tone was not the slightest nervous.
"This is the island of Kyushu, and there is a wider land to the east, and there will be only one kingdom here."
"Zifang, if the Mi clan wants to take this trade route, you can cooperate with the Zhen clan, but don't be intruded." Liu Cang moved his body to adapt to the feeling of being down-to-earth, and said to Mi Fang.
"Your Highness, there are no special products here, and the Japanese people are so ignorant. Even if it is tortoiseshell coral, Samhan also has an abundant supply. His Royal Highness wants to manage this place, and it is not possible to complete the governance of the natives here in a short period of time. Mi Fang is calm and not optimistic about the Japanese country.
As for Liu Cang's entry into the Kou, to put it simply, the merchant is more afraid of being robbed by thieves, but when he goes out of the country and encounters some wild areas, if the conditions are right, the merchant will also become a robber.
This thing is the same in any country, especially in the face of risky undecided trade routes, which is basically the same as pinning your head to the waistband of your pants. It's not too much to think of a transnational caravan as a special kind of scout, and it's a bit of a stretch to talk about things with kindness.
However, Xuzhou has been sailing for a long time so far, and Mi's sea ships are just ordinary medium-sized sailing ships, and in terms of cost performance, Mi Fang doesn't think there is anything to grab here.
"Hehe, there are still a lot of minerals and precious trees here." Liu Cang said with a smile and did not explain specifically. While speaking, a capable sailor ran to Liu Cang and Mi Fang in a bit of a panic.
"My lord, there are a large number of natives approaching, as if there is a horse caravan." The sailor hurriedly reported, and Mi Fang looked at Liu Cang.
"Nothing." Liu Cang waved his hand, and three hundred flying bear elite soldiers lined up on standby.
About thirty horses opened the way, and then a large number of foot soldiers armed with bamboo guns and bronze swords appeared in everyone's sight with an open sedan chair carried by ten people.
This group should be regarded as the Japanese army, and they do not seem to be surprised or afraid of the flock of eagles flying in the sky.
But when they saw the soldiers of the Flying Bear Battalion lined up on the shore and stopped, they let out a noise that seemed to be panicked and excited.
Like ghosts, and like the legendary god of war, the Waren looked like a group of armor-stomach warriors from a different time and space than them.
The cavalry dismounted, the Chinese army got off the sedan chair, and a woman in Chinese clothes got off the sedan chair, accompanied by a male priest and several cavalrymen wearing hanging armor, and walked quickly towards Liu Cang.
Raising his hand to stop Dian Wei, who wanted to stop the other party from approaching, under the curious comments of Huang Zhong and a cadre of soldiers, a group of several people knelt down to worship Liu Cang.
"Welcome to Yamatai." The woman with a bulging lower abdomen was none other than Queen Yamadai, who had changed her name to Himiko, and beside her, the newly-dressed priest was Liu Cang's divine envoy? That is, the host of Amaterasu Palace, who helped Liu Cang manage the turtle.
Seeing that this woman, who should have a very high status among the Japanese people, knelt down to worship Liu Cang, and the Chinese with some dialect tones also made Mi Fang and his party look weird.
However, Liu Cang's side, except for Huang Zhong, is a veteran who has followed Liu Cang for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the situation that his lord has nothing to do and receives the divine throne.
"Get up, Lone is also the king of Dongping of the Great Han Dynasty." Originally, he was just blindly in the Wa Kingdom, but now that he wants to develop the Wa Kingdom, Liu Cang has changed his official identity.
It is not unusual for Himiko to know Liu Cang's identity for a long time, but the face of the real person on the Divine Official Dao has changed slightly.
"On the road, Amaterasu Palace is well managed." Glancing at the real person on the road, Liu Cang said, and a pious smile appeared on the priest's face again.
"Obey the oracle." The real person on the road responded, and Liu Cang smiled secretly. It doesn't seem that all of these things are willing to ignite the divine fire.
With a fair skin covering, coiled silk hair, and even if he is wearing a spacious dress, his figure is still petite. Looking at Himihu, who was obviously pregnant, Mi Fang, who also knew a little about Liu Cang's entourage, frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, do you plan to spread Han technology in the Wa Kingdom?" Mi Fang asked softly, her tone suspicious. And Huang Zhong on the side also frowned slightly.
"Well, this woman is the current emperor of the Wa Kingdom, and she should be a lonely cub in her belly, well, even if this one is not, there will definitely be nothing wrong with the next one." Bei Mi Hu led the way, wanting to let Liu Cang take a sedan chair, Liu Cang let him ride by himself, and casually answered Mi Fang's question.
"Ahem~!" Mi Fang suddenly, Huang Zhong on the side seemed to be choked.
Emperor, this name seems to be very awesome, there is an imperial character, at least he is the leader of a large tribe, right?
Dian Wei was not surprised by this, Mi Fang and Huang Zhong couldn't help but look at Himihu's bulging lower abdomen.
Very good and powerful, no wonder Liu Cang brought a group of Xixi and craftsmen in addition to the soldiers, so he couldn't let his cubs play happily with a group of savages all day long, right?
And Huang Zhong pondered in his heart, the lord is young and energetic, and he may let his daughter hide from Liu Cang in the future. Mi Fang has no worries about this, he is just a girl, too young, there is no need to worry.
"Nie Lian, you are temporarily leading the troops here, helping her train the troops, and try to help her unify Dongying within two years." Regardless of Huang Zhong and Mi Fang's psychological activities, Liu Cang said to the heroic female soldiers beside him.
"Well, but... Sir, I want a child too. "Nie Lianying, she is Liu Cang's internal servant, and there is nothing wrong with this request.
"Ahem~!" This time, not only Huang Zhong coughed, but Mi Fang also coughed.
During their voyage, they had seen this woman training with the generals in the army, and she was very strong, Huang Zhong didn't dare to shake her, this woman could be a heroic female.
Under Liu Cang's command, in addition to Cai Yan and Zhang Xiuniang, Nie Lian's inner servants can be said to have been with him for the longest time. Peers are guards, they are intimate, and they are always trained, and the Flying Bear veterans are not necessarily their opponents.
This time, Nie Lian was specially dispatched to lead the troops, and the woman had no scruples about getting along with Himihu. And Nie Lian had already wanted to have a child, so she took off the ghost face that was buckled on her face, and looked at Liu Cang with a pair of watery eyes on her pretty face.
"Well, becoming, becoming." For Nie Lian's request, Liu Cang responded with a mouthful of words, and he threw people into the country, and there was nothing wrong with making a baby for others.
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! Huang Zhong coughed heartbreakingly, and he was determined that his daughter must stay away from his father-in-law.
