Chapter 445 Navigating the South China Sea ([-])

"Return to the lord, take back Tsushima Island, and put all the traitors to death."

Xu Wu sonorously replied that if Tsushima Island had not been taken back, he would not have dared to come to see Xu Ding.

Simply because of his wife's strength, he attacked Tsushima Island with him from the south to the north, and wiped out the Eastern Army above.

"How many people were killed?" Xu Ding asked again.

Xu Wu replied: "Eight thousand!"

"A little less, [-] is suitable, but forget it, let's end this matter like this." After Xu Ding finished speaking, he swept his palm and knocked all the thorns on Xu Wu's back off the boat and into the water.

Xu Wu hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord!"

"The three islands of Wodi need a navy to sit in command. You can stay here. Remember not to be suspicious of each other with the bulls. You can be ruthless to the Japanese people in Wodi. Don't trust any of them, especially the one from the dog slave country. .”

"It's the lord! The general will remember!",

........................

The blue sea is rippling, the blue sky is clear and bright, the fish are happy when they enter the water, and the birds fly high and see the sky.

It is said that Gan Ning and other ministries went all the way south from the mouth of the great river in Yangzhou, sailed along the coast, crossed the Zhoushan Islands, and arrived at Yizhou in less than ten days. They left a boat and hundreds of people to explore Yizhou.

Then the large force continued southward.

"This is the Penghu Islands marked by the lord! It's not too far from the west coast of Yizhou, and we can build a supply station here." Gan Ning and the generals stepped ashore, searched the islands for several days, and finally decided to go here Build your first supply depot.

Xin commented: "At present, this place is more suitable for the time being. Although the soil layer here is shallow, the fertility is insufficient, and the water source is lacking, which is not conducive to agricultural production, the bay on the island is suitable for shelter from the wind and can effectively protect ships.

Moreover, there are abundant fish products nearby, so it is also convenient for soldiers to catch seafood. "

The most important thing is that the geographical location here is relatively suitable, with Yizhou in the south and Kuaiji County in Yangzhou in the north. In addition, there are no indigenous people here, and there will be no conflicts with other forces.

At present, the main responsibility of the navy is to explore, and to reduce unnecessary conflicts, it is most important to complete various investigations.

Of course, if the navy takes root here, they can also drive warships to the south of Yizhou to explore and build new supply bases.

Others also had no objections, so another one was left to be responsible for the construction of the Penghu Islands, and Gan Ning and others continued to go south.

According to the map, they soon sailed 15 degrees north to Nanhai County in Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is located to the south of the Han Dynasty, and in the image of the people of the Central Plains, it is a barren and uncivilized land, where miasma is rampant, heat and poison are pervasive, and the population is sparse.

And Nanhai County is even more desolate.

Traveling along the coast of Nanhai County, Gan Ning and others did not see a city, not even a single person.

The further south you go, the more disappointed you get.

Sure enough, sailing is lonely and boring.

Soon they reached the Pearl River estuary marked by Xu Ding. Looking at the words Hong Kong Island, Macau Island, Zhuhai, and Shenzhen, they felt cheated.

After crossing Omen in Hong Kong, you will enter the Pearl River Estuary, but at this time the Pearl River Estuary or the Pearl River has not yet formed at all.

Like Dongguan, Zhongshan, Shunde, and Foshan in later generations, most of them are still submerged in the water of the inner sea and have not surfaced.

So Gan Ning waited for Jin and went northward, and found that this was a big bathtub, and there were many mountains and islands, and the fog was thick, so he got lost if he was not careful.

Fortunately, they finally found a city.

This is a city built by the Han people, with a population of less than [-]. It is called Panyu City, and it is the county seat of Nanhai County.

Seeing Gan Ning and others suddenly emerge from the south inland sea, the people in Panyu City were also surprised and shocked.

Fortunately, both parties can speak the official language and can communicate, so there is no fight.

After the exchange, I learned that there are only seven counties in Nanhai County, with a population of 25.

The weather here is hot all year round. Although it is winter now, it is as warm as spring.

And they also know that the next stop to sail south is Hepu County, which has only 8 people, five counties, and is even more desolate.

After saying goodbye to Panyu City, the army continued to set off and sailed for eight days to reach a county called Xuwen.

After being corrected by the local officials here, they set off from Xuwen, sailed due west, and arrived in Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou five days later.

Longbian in Jiaozhi County is the state capital of Jiaozhou and the seat of the county. It has an important geographical location and is also the economic and cultural center of the entire Jiaozhou.

"Xingba, we have rashly sailed the warship to Longbian. I am afraid that misunderstandings may easily occur. It is better to send people to the county seat of Zhoucheng to get in touch with the local officials in the west." Xin Ping suggested:

"This Jiaozhi County is no better than Nanhai County. Jiaozhi County has a large population, and there is a state government here. The garrison is strong. If there is a war, it will not be good for our exchanges with the entire Jiaozhou."

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? I want to see how strong Jiaozhou's army is, and the real strength of these guys living in a corner." Gan Ning said:

"Although we didn't intend to fight, but since ancient times, there has been no friendship and kindness for no reason. Don't look at the prefect of Nanhai County who greeted us with a smile. In fact, he is full of male whores and robbers. He deliberately did not tell us the truth about Jiaozhi County. Actually, I know what this guy is up to.

You can see the information given to us by the main bus shows that the real most powerful family in Jiaozhou is the Shi family. They control the military, government, finance and taxation of the entire Jiaozhou. Without mentioning a word, isn't the purpose of deceiving us to come to Jiaozhi County, and then conflict with Zhang Jin, the governor of Jiaozhou, and then see that we are both hurt, and they are reaping the benefits of the fisherman? "

Xin Ping smiled wryly: "So you know about Xingba, then you have to bite the bullet and go up, and let Zhang Jin not step down, so that the scholars can take advantage of it."

"If you don't light up your sword, how can the people of Jiaozhou fear us? No matter if it's Zhang Jin or the Shijia, they have to fight before they understand our true strength. Then we can talk about anything.

And whether we can let the scholars take advantage of it depends on our bows and crossbows, as well as your resourcefulness. Gan Ning went on to say:

"I heard that Zhang Jin had a good relationship with the Yuan family, Zhongzhi, don't let it go."

Zhang Jin, courtesy name Ziyun, was born in Nanyang County, Jingzhou. After the death of Emperor Ling, he was one of the key figures who led He Jin and Yuan Shao to join forces to murder eunuchs.

So it has a very close relationship with the Yuan family.

The Yuan family is Xu Ding's enemy. Since Zhang Jin has a good relationship with the Yuan family, he is also the enemy of the Donglai Navy, and there is nothing wrong with attacking him.

Xin Ping said embarrassingly: "As long as Xingba can spare his life, I will naturally do my best to plan for the navy."

"It's okay to spare his life, having him is also a bargaining chip to restrain the Shi family." Gan Ning never thought that he must kill Zhang Jin.

But it will depend on Zhang Jin's performance at that time. If he doesn't know how to play, it's hard to say.

The naval warships marched westward along the river to Longbian. After receiving the news, Zhang Jin felt as if he was facing a big enemy, and immediately dispatched troops to defend Longbian, preparing to meet the big enemy.

The entire Jiaozhi County also moved after hearing the news, and they all followed the scholars.
