Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 249: Attacking the weak and attacking the ignorant
From some fragmented records, the scribes of Ganning Navy finally discovered that Yizhou is not only these dozens of scattered islands - in fact, from the perspective of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, some of them can be considered "slightly valuable" There are less than ten islands.

The real Yizhou Island is still further east. Even when Gan Ning flew to the limit of the Golden Jade Armor and used a telescope to look far into the distance, he could already see the shadow of some "huge" coastline!
It is not far from the Yizhou Islands. These Zhuxia immigrants have been there before, but they only left behind the unfriendly warnings of the local aborigines that are still circulating...

But for Gan Ning, this was obviously not a problem. After resting for a few days on the Yizhou Islands, Gan Ning set sail again with [-]% of the fleet.

It is very comfortable to vaguely see the coastline with a telescope...

Three days later, Gan Ning arrived at the main island of Yizhou. Looking at the size of this big island, Gan Ning breathed a sigh of relief - this trip was not in vain!

Occupying Yizhou at this time, for the General's Mansion, the real significance is to build a secret shipyard at sea - so secret that outsiders can't even come.

Moreover, a Yizhou with warships can control Jiaozhou nearby, remotely control South Vietnam in the middle, and declare power in Southeast Asia far away.

Gan Ning didn't have a big idea about Nanyang. After all, when it came to the south during the Han Dynasty, it was Nanyue, or the land of Baiyue.

South Vietnam, firstly, refers to the South Vietnam Kingdom established by Zhao Tuo during the war at the end of Qin Dynasty, including the current Jiaozhou, and the southernmost point can reach the central and northern parts of Vietnam in later generations. Secondly, it represents the South Vietnam region, which generally refers to the entire Indochina Peninsula... later Thailand, Myanmar, Laos... can all be considered South Vietnam.

However, there is almost no communication with Nanyang, or Nanyang Islands. In the geography of the Han Dynasty, the "Nanyang" mentioned in the Han Dynasty is also in the Yuanyang category.

It was only during the Sui and Tang Dynasties that there were recorded exchanges with Nanyang. During the Ming Dynasty, "navigation to Nanyang" was even regarded as a novice mission for "navigation to the West"...

Gan Ning had never heard of Nanyang before, but...since it was Bai Tu who said it, he believed it.

However, Gan Ning was disappointed with the previous Yizhou Islands - how many people could survive on such small scattered islands, even if they were fully cultivated?I'm afraid Qianhu is reluctant!
How can this fulfill the General's Mansion's expectations for Yizhou?
It wasn't until he discovered the local records of Yizhou that Gan Ning regained hope. However... the description of the immigrants from Zhu Xia only vaguely said that they were "the size of a country", so Gan Ning was still a little uneasy before. The country... is bigger than the current territory controlled by the General's Mansion, but if it is smaller... it may not be as big as just one county!

Now that he actually came to the main island of Yizhou, Gan Ning finally felt relieved—the mission was perfectly accomplished.

The only troublesome thing is that, as Zhu Xia immigrants said, the native Yi people in Yizhou are not friendly to outsiders.

The Zhuxia immigrants from the Yizhou Islands have basically given up on going to the mainland. Although the other party still has the skills of rough copper and stone axes, they can't handle the large number of people. Moreover... the smelting technology of the Zhuxia immigrants is only slightly stronger, and the number of people is still far away. Not as good as the other party.

But in the face of Gan Ning's regular army, these barbarian aborigines are obviously not enough.

When Gan Ning and others had just landed in the boat, a group of Yi people swarmed up. They should be a tribe on the seaside - they could see that the other party was also able to use weapons similar to bows and arrows, but... this range has three Ten steps?
Gan Ning tried his best to use body language to show goodwill, but he did not get a friendly response. The other party was still trying to drive them away with something that could barely count as a bow and arrow. Gan Ning had to give the order first: "Throw to the ground! Pay attention to the distance!"

After a round of throwing, countless steel-tipped arrows were pierced into the land in front of the indigenous people...

Hearing the thunderous sound of arrows and watching the sharp blade that fell from the sky and hit the ground for three points, the opponent's offensive immediately stalled.

Even they knew that if these arrows were fired directly, they would have become "prey" long ago.

At this moment, Gan Ning also stepped forward with armor and cut an ancient tree in two as thick as several people could hold it together!

As the ancient tree fell, a group of hundreds of disheveled Yi people immediately let out unexplained exclamations and fled back to the forest in confusion.

Bai Tu warned Gan Ning not to kill the natives of the states indiscriminately, and not to "distinguish between Yi and Xia" and talk about the difference between humans and animals. It is necessary to put oneself in their own shoes and understand that both Yi people and Zhu Xia are real "human beings". "Those who rely on their strength to attack ignorance are beasts.

of course……

Under the premise that they are all "people", there are also differences between enemies and friends. It does not mean that Gan Ning cannot fight back when he is hit or scolded.

In the face of the natives who were blindly attacking wildly, Gan Ning also chose to use absolute force to deter them first.

Since the Yi people here were not as friendly as the Zhu Xia immigrants, Gan Ning also chose a different strategy.

First, let your soldiers choose a suitable location to camp near the coastline, and then gradually transport most of the soldiers over in small boats. Then, step by step, start heading towards the island to trace the original settlement of the indigenous people!

The fighting methods of these natives were still rudimentary, and their methods of concealing their whereabouts during retreat were completely "open eyes" in the eyes of Gan Ning's scouts.

That night, the scouts reported to Gan Ning the location of this indigenous settlement near the sea.

The indigenous people here estimated to have hundreds of families, because... they mainly lived in caves, and the scouts only made a slight estimate based on the number of people they saw.

Judging from the situation of Zhuxia immigrants, a tribe with hundreds of households should not be considered small.

In addition, some traces of planting were also found near the settlement, but they were still very preliminary, and... Judging from the planting area, the Yi people here should mainly fish and hunt, supplemented by planting.

In fact, the Xia immigrants on Yizhou Islands also paid equal attention to gathering and farming - after all, they were immigrants who came during the pre-Qin period. During the pre-Qin period, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were not many purely agricultural countries among the Xia.

In areas where wild chestnuts grow, such as Yanshan, "wild people" can basically make a living by picking wild chestnuts as their staple food.

The real and complete transformation of farming came after the unification of the Han Dynasty and the outbreak of population expansion.

After Gan Ning received the reward, he ordered repairs overnight. The next day, he led dozens of soldiers and walked towards the settlement.

In order to avoid further irritating the opponent, Gan Ning did not bring many people with him, and did not expose his swords and weapons.

But even so, it still aroused the other party's vigilance. But when Gan Ning came to the settlement, the Yi people and natives huddled in the caves. From the dark entrances of the caves, one could vaguely feel the wary and fearful gazes.

Of course, it’s not like a silly roe deer pretending that the “enemy” can’t see him…

In front of the cave nest, there were already various kinds of food, animal skins, shells... and a naked girl sitting in the middle with an expressionless face.

The appearance of the indigenous people is somewhat different from that of the Han people. They are slimmer and have darker skin. It can be said... Even if both sides do not use weapons, the ordinary captains on Gan Ning's side can fight five or six of these thin and short "young and strong" ".

However, the girl who was regarded as the "offer" was obviously carefully selected out of universal aesthetics, which also made Gan Ning feel that her appearance... wasn't bad, well, it was just not bad.

Although this was Gan Ning's first time seeing this scene, he could understand what it meant if he had some logical reasoning ability.

Perhaps in Yizhou, the battles between tribes were like this - the losers offered food, property, and... beautiful girls.

Looking at the naked woman, some of Gan Ning's generals were also a little stunned.

Although the aesthetics are a little biased, but... this is just a small tribe. With their military power, can they be here... emmm...

The devil is always whispering in the ears of the "strong".

One of the generals couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and then... he felt pain in his buttocks, and was kicked by Gan Ning like a dog.

"Captain..." The general looked at Gan Ning with some injustice. I didn't do anything... No, I didn't even say anything!
"Go back and copy the military regulations and instructions ten times!" Gan Ning said expressionlessly.

The general did not dare to refute, but he said happily: "Captain, we only have enough paper and pens for the teachers and teachers... Otherwise, I'll keep vigil all night."

"During the vigil, write on the ground and I'll check it tomorrow morning." Gan Ning continued to remain expressionless.

General A:...

I saw Gan Ning walking towards the thin woman and taking off his brocade robe.

After two months of sailing with almost no supplies, Gan Ning's fifty sets of brocade robes were no longer enough to change, so he could only... choose a relatively clean one to wear every day.

However, when he was replenishing fresh water on the Yizhou Islands, Gan Ning finally washed all the brocade robes - well, although he couldn't take off one piece and throw it away like he did in Yangzhou, and never wear it a second time. , if you don’t throw away five or six pieces a day, it’s like spending a day at home... But after washing the brocade robe again, Gan Ning’s mood improved a lot.

The Yi woman couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw the man who looked like a peacock approaching.

She understood that she was placed here as a symbol of surrender.

As the winner, if you are satisfied with her, you can leave with her and other trophies. She will face the rest of her life as a slave. Of course... there will probably be no second half of her life. The trophies will be consumed in a few days. It is also very common for products to be "consumed".

If the other party is not satisfied, he will pierce her chest with a stone spear to express his rejection of the surrender of her tribe.

How can this not be stressful?
However, after the peacock man came over, he did not use weapons or roughly pull her away, but took off his "peacock feather".

When she saw the other person reaching out, Yi Nu closed her eyes in fear, but still didn't dare to say anything, but the next moment...

Smooth and supple?

An unprecedented touch spread on her skin. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the peacock man's arms were just wrapped around the back of her neck, covering her body with the gorgeous peacock feathers...

At this moment, Yi Nu didn't know what emotions she was feeling in her heart, bursts of rays of light appeared in the sky and fell on Yi Nu, who was wearing a brocade robe.

Accompanied by visions, strange fragrances, and strange sounds... Yi Nu was enveloped by the beam of light, and the brocade robe and cloak she wore turned into a well-trimmed brocade robe. Her originally rough skin instantly became shiny and messy. The ends of the hair hang neatly and naturally.

An aura that is different from human beings, but familiar to Han people, ripples around Yi girls...
