And on the other side, above the distant sea!

The sea ships flying the Qin flag are drifting with the current......

"There is land! There is land! ”

A crew member stood on the lookout and looked up, and Jing Wensheng, who was squatting in the boat box and fighting with the crew, rushed out quickly.

Tanned by the sun, Jing looked bare-chested at the distant skyline, symbolizing the gray lines of land.

Far away, you can see scattered greens.

"It should be almost there...... "A smile squeezed out of Jing's dark face.

"I hope so......" said an equally topless crew member on the side.

Most of the people who followed Jing Yuan to explore the world were disciples of the Yin and Yang family, and they were elites who were literate and proficient in various knowledge such as geography and astronomy.

It's just that after a long sea drift, few people can still retain the appearance of elites.

The direct rays of the sun have made most people's bodies dark and shiny, and everyone has gradually become accustomed to enjoying the sea breeze with their bodies exposed.

The panic and stress of not seeing land for long periods of time also require a variety of simple and crude stimuli to alleviate it.

The stronger ones are good, and the worse ones are nothing more than those things.

As the land gradually faded away, fights and gambling occurred from time to time.

After all, none of these so-called elites have experience in ocean voyages, and the performance of the crew who returned from going to sea with Zhao Si is much better in comparison.

It's not too peaceful along the way......

There were more than one sea storms in the middle, and under Jing's skillful response, although no ships were scrapped because of this, the sailing route was completely deviated, and the ships were in urgent need of repair before they could sail again, and some manpower was also lost.

Fortunately, the ship was successfully drifted to the vicinity of the island, and the ship did not sink, and there were hundreds of ready-made coolies taken from Wanwan in a boatload of people, as well as a large number of technical personnel, and the repair of the ship was relatively smooth, but it took a long time.

The only good news is that there are indigenous people on the islands to which they drift.

They were provided with fresh water and food, and a group of slaves were captured to help with the work.

Both men and women have ......

When leaving, Jing took only female slaves with him.

It's a very real problem, and the crew needs something to calm their nerves, which is not so difficult for the indigenous opposite sex to accept.

After a long time of twists and turns, the ship continued to follow the current towards the Indonesian archipelago.

Hainan Island has already been there, and that place is also a bunch of natives, and the main purpose of Jing and his party is to explore and collect various crops in the open sea, so they just built a small stronghold on Hainan Island, and after throwing down three Yin Yang disciples to negotiate with the local aborigines, they set off again.

If the voyage is relatively smooth, Indonesia is actually not particularly far, mainly because of the bad luck and the sea storm, which made Jing delay for a long time.

Fortunately, I finally arrived nearby......

As the ship got closer, Jing discovered that it was not land, but a small island.

"Anchor in order, go ashore carefully!"

Jing Fa gave the order, six sea ships docked one after another, and the crew landed and explored one after another.

Jing's ship continued to anchor above the sea and did not come close.

"The island is small, there are no natives, but there is a small lake." It didn't take long for a crew member to come up and report the situation.

"There are islands nearby...... I stood on the hill and watched, not too far. ”

"I found a small port here...... There are also a few abandoned rafts. ”

Jing silently summarized the information.

"Uninhabited, but there are traces of human activity, and the island is very small, so it is unlikely that it will meet the conditions...... The surrounding islands are dense. ”

Jing smiled and looked at the crew: "Dock for supplies, it looks like we've found a place." ”

Indonesian archipelago......

It is impossible for such a small island to have indigenous people, and there must have been traces of human activity from nearby.

There are people, that means the land is not far away!

And that's exactly what happened.

After resting for a few days on an unknown island, Daqin's seven ships set off again.

The frequency of encounters with islands in the middle is increasing, and the traces of human activity are increasing.

It wasn't until half a month later that Jing first arrived on an island where there was an apparent human settlement.

On the islands, there are harbors suitable for boats, and there are even small boats that catch fish in the nearby sea, and there are scattered human movements along the coastline.

"Ready to negotiate!"

Jing gathered the crew, and the ships gradually converged.

In order to give the opposite side enough time to react without causing a riot, the speed of the voyage was slow.

This is not Wanwan......

Since Wanwan was cut off from the Central Plains, the social development has been ridiculously slow, and it was not until the Central Plains was re-established that it gradually caught up with the rhythm.

The main reason is the problem of the strait, and there is no difference between the strait between Wanwan and the Central Plains to cross directly and send them to death under the ancient navigation conditions, and other routes must be taken.

Therefore, the bay of this period is probably no different from the self-sprouting of the enclosure.

And the Indonesian archipelago is different......

First of all, the area is much larger than Wanwan, and it naturally has the factors for the birth of culture.

Secondly, there is a lot of activity between the Indonesian archipelago, and the distance from India is not too far, and the most important thing is that the sea here is relatively safe.

Two centuries before the park, that is, when the Great Qin ruled the world.

With the increasing frequency of exchanges between the Indian mainland and the Indonesian archipelago, and the increasing number of external cultural exchanges, the Indonesian archipelago was also influenced by the Indian mainland, and the first slave state, the Ye Diao State, was born.

The location is probably near the modern islands of Sumatra and Java.

No matter how big India is, it has a great influence on the culture of neighboring countries, and later Ye Tuo collapsed, Buddhism spread from India to Indonesia, and some Buddhist countries were born...... Many of the stories, including Buddhism, are based on the Indonesian archipelago.

Oh, it is worth mentioning that as the birthplace of Buddhism, India, Buddhism has been completely G, but the filthy land has been reborn in other places, and even to the Central Plains.

Of course, the Buddhism of the Central Plains can be said to be unrecognizable compared to Buddhism itself, after all, foreign religions must be localized.

Ancient history in general, and history of BC in particular.

In fact, whether there is a civilization born in some places mainly depends on whether there is a serious main civilization in the surrounding area.

In this era of the ascendant, most of the surrounding civilizations were actually influenced by the main civilization.

The more exchanges, the faster civilization was born, like Wanwan being separated by the strait, even if it is not too far from the Central Plains, it is still in the era of primitive people for a long time.

"The purpose of this time is mainly to enter India through Ye Diao, ......"

Jing looked at the map, and remembered the explanation his brother had given him.

Sooner or later, Great Qin will have to deal with this part of India, whether it is from land or sea, and will establish comprehensive contact.
