From leaving Chang'an City in a hurry, to entering Yizhou Island, and now going to Nanyang under the official name of Luguo, it has been more than a year unconsciously.

All the way south, the scenery is very different from Guanzhong, and even the climate is getting hotter.

At this time, it was only mid-February, and according to the climate of previous years, even if there was no snow in Guanzhong, it was enough to add several layers of clothes, but on the Luguo Gong number, Hou Junji was dressed in a light Luo sheng coat that would only be worn in the hot summer, and set up a chair in the shade on the top deck.

The sea breeze hunted, blowing the hem of the raw clothes and flying, causing Hou Junji to hum comfortably:

"The climate of this treasure land in the South Seas is pleasant, but it is too humid."

Yes, although it has only been half a year since the official voyage, now Hou Junji also seems to understand why later generations will never forget to go to sea.

Just like the country of Linyi, which has been temporarily left behind, there is no hunger, cold, and cold, there are melons and fruits that can be picked up, there are rare and exotic beasts in the forest, and there are jewels in the sea.

It can be called a patient but a rainstorm and a hurricane, and it can be called a place of life.

Such solemn words made Wu Ba tremble from the bottom of his heart, and he subconsciously fell to the ground.

Obviously, the killing of prisoners was going on here, which made Hou Junji frown.

One side was dejected, all tied to the ground, half of the dead, and the other was significantly more numerous, some gathered to point fingers at the fleet, but there were also people who continued to kill the losers.

Wu Ba shook his head honestly:

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Heavenly Soldiers coming here, I would still be serving that nobleman... What about thieves. ”

"Your Royal Highness, this Nanyang may be because of the simplicity of life, so the local people live in mediocrity without thinking about the destiny of heaven, and even make the ambitious people arrogant to attack and kill the county commander because they are far away from the Central Plains."

It can be seen that Wu Ba, a native man, is trying his best to be careful with his wording so as not to cause displeasure to the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and this way of speaking chewing words also makes him quite laborious:

At this point, the mountains on the shore were finally left behind, and the plains that had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared.

Wu Ba, who was standing next to him, rarely refuted Lu Guogong's opinion:

After continuing to sail like this for nearly a month, the fleet had left Lin Yiguo far behind, bypassing the southern part of Indochina and turning westward.

Hugging mountains on three sides and facing the sea, hundreds of rivers flow thousands of miles of fertile soil, the mountains are blocked without the worry of hurricanes, you can have a full stomach when you pick up, and you don't need to worry about freezing and frustration when you lie on your back.

According to Wu Ba, with the help of accurate maps of later generations, supplemented by the method of counting learned before leaving Beijing, Hou Junji calculated the area of this plain in his room: at least 500,000 hectares! It's much bigger than the Guanzhong Plain.

It is no wonder, after all, from Jiaozhou to the south to Linyi County, the land is long and narrow and there are mountains in the west, and the further south, the more mountains, and Jiaozhou is more than 3,000 miles away.

And the reason why it takes effort to make the other party return to their hearts is more because when they arrive in Nanyang, they find that there are dozens of countries here, and often the language and customs are different, in this case, a "Nanyang translation" who can understand barbarian is very important.

"Those who have merit, good fields and beautiful houses, and Lord BMW can all be expected, and all of them will be rewarded."

Today's lord of Zhenla does not forget his identity as the prince of Funan, and raises troops to attack Funan, wanting to annex it, and the two countries are temporarily fighting in the south of this plain, and they are temporarily ignoring a country called Duheluo in the north.

The feeling of suffocation in sailing is not unique to Hou Junji alone, seeing that there is flat ground, other ships can't help but cheer.

Wu Ba was stunned for a moment, carefully reading the meaning of the words of the Tang Dynasty, and then his face was full of ecstasy, almost incoherent, and even secretly hated that there were too few elegant words learned from his father when he was young, and it was difficult to express the excitement in his chest at this time.

From the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, successive dynasties either chose to govern this place, such as Linyi County, or chose to conquer and plunder it, but in short, the narrow and long coastal land where Linyi is located seems to be the end point of the previous dynasties' exploration to the south.

"I don't."

Well, except that the climate is a little too hot.

This information was told again and again, until Hou Junji confirmed that he was familiar with it, and then he simply asked Wu Ba to teach the local language.

Such a scene is ...... for Hou Junji No surprises.

"Those who have transgressed will be hanged and exiled, thrown into prison and beheaded, and they will not be soft or show favoritism."

In fact, Wu Ba knew that he had already said something clean to Hou Junji like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, but since Guogong wanted to hear it, he could only explain what he had said several times in detail.

I am afraid that the envoys and generals of the Han Dynasty and the former Sui Dynasty of the Liu Song Dynasty all thought that there was no value in exploring further south.

"And if this place is really a treasure land, why has it been my Xia people who have frequently gone south to educate this place for thousands of years, and I don't see that the people here have once gone north to do something for my Huaxia?"

spoke again to appease Wu Ba, and Hou Junji lay down again and chose to change the topic:

"Tell me again about the three kingdoms of Na Zhenla, Funan, and Na Du and Luo."

Immediately, Hou Junji accentuated his tone:

"And the flat treasure land on which these three kingdoms are based needs to be emphasized."

As the ship approached, Hou Junji didn't need a thousand-step mirror to clearly see the scene on the shore:

The battle on the shore was over, and the two sides could hardly even be called soldiers, with rudimentary weapons, almost no armor, and more ornamented with the skins and feathers of some birds.

"When my father was alive, he said, no matter how good this place is, the Central Plains has four distinct seasons and clear solar terms, spring flowers and summer travel, Akita hunting and winter snow, that is called a beautiful land."

Hou Junji squinted and listened very carefully, even though these contents had been clearly marked on the fine map of his cabin, he still took the trouble to choose to listen again, intending to fill in the gaps.

No matter how you say it, he is also a standard former minister of the Qin Palace, and he has participated in the affairs of Xuanwu Gate from His Majesty's army to Xuanwu Gate, and it is easy to handle a half-native person.

Hou Junji got up and stretched his body, then lowered his head and said with a pleasant face:

"Passing through the South Seas is the duty of the country's public, and it is also where your ambition lies, and I look forward to being a minister in the same hall with you."

The Duke of the Tang Dynasty waved his hand and gave a brief order:

But Uba told him to continue sailing south to the coast, and that if he had bypassed the mountains, he would come across a piece of heaven.

Hou Junji suddenly laughed:

"Wu Ba, you grew up here, have you seen the snow?"

And the history of this treasure land is also very simple, Funan is slightly stronger, Zhenla is slightly weaker, a few years ago the prince of Funan became the horse of Zhenla and took this opportunity to become the lord of Erzhenla.

No way, HNA is too boring, if you don't find something, Hou Junji feels that he is likely to go crazy.

Hou Junji did not hesitate to draw a big cake immediately:

"I inherited my destiny to pass through the South Seas, and I can go up to heaven to listen."

And soon the soldiers holding a thousand-step mirror on the top of the ship have already warned: there is a battle on the shore!

"We need to make the outsiders know the righteousness when we come here, and we can't kill the captives and beasts."

"Stop it, and if you don't obey...... Sortie! ”
