Chapter 50: The First Stop, Bend
Member......"
Seven ships lay across the sea, and Jing stood on the deck and looked up.
It is a natural harbor suitable for fishing, so there are many villages here.
Yuanqiao is Taiwan.
The earliest history of Taiwan can be traced back to the Yin Shang period, and according to records, it is called Loan, Yuanqiao.
In fact, Taiwan, and even the islands off the southeast coast, were influenced by the civilization of the Yin Shang and even the Zhou dynasty.
During the Warring States Period, the work "Yu Gong", which included the mountains, rivers, topography, soil, and products of various places, also recorded: "Daoyi Huifu, Ji Hui Weaving Shells, Ji Bao Tang Pomelo, Xi Gong." ”
The island here refers to the aborigines of Taiwan.
At that time, Taiwan and Zhuxia had already established certain ties and were influenced by the Zhuxia civilization.
By the time of the Qin Dynasty, Taiwan's aboriginal forces began to disperse, and the regimes were diverse, and the first emperor's eyes were more focused on the Hetao region bordering the Central Plains and the South Vietnamese region, so the establishment of official ties with Daoyi was delayed.
At the same time, because it is far away, the regime is too dispersed, the risk is high and the return is low, and Daqin has no idea of interfering in the internal affairs of Daoyi.
However, the first emperor launched many times to go to the sea to seek immortals, and after all, he could not bypass Taiwan.
And Jing, after becoming a disciple of the Yin and Yang family, has learned a lot of knowledge and has a certain understanding of Taiwan's history, so he can't even name it.
After departing from Fuso, Jing's first stop was not Taiwan, but an archipelago.
Naturally, there are Yi people living here, but the population is smaller than that of Fuso.
For the time being, it is still a tribal system, with fishing and hunting as the main and farming as the supplement.
Because there are many islands, there are a few hundred people on each island, a few dozen people at the few, and at most about a thousand people.
The cultivation technique is very poor, probably just scattering the seeds on the ground and leaving it to fate.
This place was marked on the map by Zhao Si as the Ryukyu Islands, and when he returned to Qin, he passed through here, although Jing and his party only had seven boats and hundreds of people, but they were placed in the Ryukyu Islands, and if they were in terms of combat effectiveness, they were enough to unify the entire Ryukyus.
The population of this place is relatively scattered, there are not a few large tribes, and the tribes attack each other.
Because he had to make the next ocean voyage, Jing landed here, and simply replenished the food and water resources and set off again.
The geographical location of the Ryukyus is still relatively important, leave a coordinate, and sooner or later you will have to take it down.
Daoyi, in fact, is the one that the losers of the group of heroes in ancient times withdrew from the Central Plains.
If you really want to say that the cultural connection with the Central Plains is not small, the Yin Shang period was subjugated to the Yin Shang, the Zhou Dynasty was subordinated to the Zhou Dynasty, the two sides had exchanges with each other, and there was a clear history of tribute.
Although they still use oracle bones, they already have a rudimentary regime and civilization.
Seven sea vessels docked at the port, and nearby islands spontaneously converged in the port.
The small board boats that were still roaming and fishing in the offshore waters also hurriedly docked, and fled into the crowd in confusion.
Armed with rudimentary weapons, they were full of vigilance against Daqin's sea ships.
Jing frowned and rubbed his eyebrows, a little troublesome......
There is no one on my side who is familiar with the other party's language, and no one can communicate, so it seems that most of them are going to do it.
In fact, this is the norm......
The more rudimentary a civilization is, the more likely it is to erupt into violent conflicts, and the more mature a civilization is, the easier it is to exercise restraint.
When he landed in the Luzon Islands for supplies, Jing led a team to destroy an indigenous tribe.
They didn't know where the other party got their courage, and dozens of people dared to attack Daqin's sea ships on small board boats with rudimentary stone tools.
Or take the initiative to attack......
This time, the situation was slightly better, and the other party could at least see the gap, maintained a certain degree of restraint, did not take the initiative to attack, and the vigilance was greater than the desire to attack.
However, looking at the posture maintained by the other side, we also know that as long as our side continues to call at the port, war will inevitably break out.
It's not that Jing doesn't want to try to send envoys to communicate, but the language barrier, the lack of translation, and the limited number of crew members make it unpleasant to put it mildly, and Jing is more willing to kill them all than to take the risk of losing one person.
"Shine the banner of Daqin and continue to dock!"
Wind!
With Jing's command, the Qin flag with gold characters on a black background rose into the air in the Yuanqiao sea area, the fierce sea breeze blew the flag, and the seven sea ships began to dock slowly but firmly.
With the start of the Daqin Sea boat, the island Yi on the shore was obviously more nervous, some people were panicked, some people were stubble, and some people were shouting wildly.
It's a pity that the sea breeze is too strong to understand what the other party says.
"The crossbow bolts are wound, the trebuchet is ready, and once the opponent attacks, return fire immediately!"
Jing was a smart man, and he knew at a glance that the range of the opponent's rudimentary weapons was much worse than that of Great Qin's.
As long as the other party dares to make a move, Daqin can completely wander outside the opponent's range to give a powerful counterattack, and after the fight, he will go ashore in another place, just to kill chickens and monkeys, and show Daqin's strength, lest the other party think that he is a soft persimmon, and he has to weigh it if he wants to pinch it.
Jing agrees with what Zhao Si once said.
"After going to sea, communication with the barbarians must be established within the range of the Qin crossbow!" Jing repeated what Zhao Si had said.
In this era, most of the regions are still tribal, not so monolithic, it is nothing more than a change of place to dock at the port, and it is a good thing to let the other party understand that Daqin is not easy to mess with through a fight.
"Chief! Oh no! Oh no! ”
Within a "palace", if it can be called a palace......
A few swarthy young men with their upper bodies hurriedly broke into the palace comparable to the mansion of the county-level local tyrant in the Qin State.
"The Qin people are here! The Qin people are here! ”
A few guys, you say a word, and a slightly obese middle-aged man sat up in shock when he heard the sound!
"Qin people? Where? ”
"The Qin people are in the port!"
Today's Daoyi from the Central Plains to the submission of Yin Shang and even the Zhou Dynasty has now fallen into fragmentation.
At present, the area near this port is ruled by the mountain, known as the Daye Department, with independent smelting technology and cultivation technology and even the historical records of documents, objectively speaking, the mountain is still the orthodoxy of the island, but now it can only shrink in this harbor, ruling a radius of hundreds of miles, most of the ancestral foundation has been lost, and the area suitable for cultivation has almost been robbed.
It stands to reason that the currently divided Daoyi has no channel to know that the Central Plains has been changed to Qin.
Toxufu's Hongfu ......
Xu Fu went to sea to find immortals, and falsely claimed that Yuanqiao was Yingzhou, that is, one of the three Penglai immortal mountains.
At that time, although the Daye Department was in decline, it was still able to dominate the surrounding area with its smelting technology and cultivation technology.
At that time, the leader of the Daye Department was Luan's father, Chuan.
Unfortunately, Xu Fu came to Penglai Immortal Island with hundreds of large ships, preparing to land at the port under the jurisdiction of Dayebu.
By the way, it crushed a group of self-defeating natives who tried to hinder the landing of the Qin people.
Chuan angrily summoned his clansmen and the Qin people to war.
Then it was crushed by the hand, Sichuan was also killed in battle, and the Daye Department was swallowed up by the surrounding because of the defeat, and Luan was ordered to abandon the land and wealth with the remnants of tens of thousands of people.
After several years of recuperation and encroachment, the current population of Daye has recovered to 40,000 people.
But because of the limited terrain here, the place that can be cultivated is really limited, and there can only be so many people, and now the surrounding tribes are guarding against the Daye Ministry, if nothing else, the Daye Department may be locked in this population for a long time, and it will no longer be able to recover the glory of the once 300,000 tribes and dozens or even hundreds of tribes.
"How could it be...... The Qin people didn't come from this port last time......" Luan's face was full of surprise, puzzlement, fear, and inexplicable powerlessness.
I've migrated hundreds of miles here, co-author of the unlucky guy or the Daye Ministry?
Isn't this the tracking and positioning of meteorites that fall from the sky?
Although he did not participate in the last battle, the fear of the Qin people was deeply engraved in Luan's heart.
"Go and restrain the tribesmen, let them lay down their weapons, don't act on their own, you go and evacuate the tribe, and I will go to the port to ...... myself"
The fat body of the mountain burst out with amazing momentum at this moment, and even regardless of the ride, he directly pulled a war horse and hurried towards the port.
The good news is that Dayebu's territory is now pitifully small, and this port is a rare open harbor that is convenient for fishing, so the palace of Luan is very close, and it didn't take long to rush over.
Objectively speaking, if Luan gets on a boat and goes to sea, it can be regarded as going abroad.
"Put down the swords! Put down the swordsmen! ”
Luan shouted under the arch guard of the guard, and Daoyi trusted Luan, put down his sword and soldiers, and was restrained by Luan to retreat.
"Let them dock in port, they are not trying to encroach on our land, nor are they trying to plunder our food, don't resist, no one will die!"
……
Jing stood on the deck and watched a farce.
A man who looked slightly better dressed was shouting under the arch guard on a warhorse.
Shimayi retreated in a chaotic manner......
"Tribal leader? Anyway, a person who can talk, and looks like he can try to touch it? Jing touched Baal and turned to give orders.
"You go and prepare to take a boat to dock at the port and contact the other party......" Jing assigned a person alone, motioning for the other party to take a small boat and try to communicate with the other party.
Although the language is different, it is not impossible to establish some simple conventions.
As long as you don't come up and meet each other, there is a basis for communication.
The assigned soldier was just about to put down the boat and dock alone, but was stopped by Jing again.
"Wait a minute, he's coming......"
Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance!
The person who had just restrained the tribe from retreating and lowering his sword looked likely to be someone of extraordinary rank among the other party, who was stepping on the boat with the help of the people around him.
Alone!
Alone! He didn't carry any blades, and in order to prove his honesty, Luan even took off his coat and exposed his arms.
Rowing the sails hard!
The terrifying warships of the Qin people hovered over the sea like sea beasts.
Just now, a wonderful thought flashed in Luan's heart.
Now, Daye has been locked up by the surrounding tribes, and he wants to gamble with his life on a future!
(Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much, March, tomorrow must be three watches, don't let me down again!) )
