Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 287 Zhou Hu
When Bai Tu saw the news from Fuyang, he was also baffled - Jia Xu would actually accept Zhang Chunhua as his student?This is not his temperament!
Aren't you afraid of attracting other people's attention by rashly accepting such a "showy" student?
Unless... Zhang Chunhua threatened his life?
However, Bai Tu didn't have any opinion on this. On the contrary, the news of another Fuyang made Bai Tu a little depressed - Qu Yi still hadn't been found.

After Fuyang City fell and Dafu Mountain's defense line collapsed, Qu Yi and the remaining Euphorbia soldiers withdrew from the battlefield, but their bodies were not found. Fuyang's army also searched for them for a while, but found none.

Bai Tu was a little disappointed with this, but after thinking about it, it seemed good if Qu Yi could return to the northern battlefield and cause some trouble for Cao Cao...

At this moment, Bai Tu's golden seal trembled, as if there was some specially marked news, so he hurried to Cheng Ji's mansion.

In addition to Jin Ling Ji, Yu Ji's projection is also there. Yu Ji always spends time in Jin Ling Ji's Cheng Ji Mansion. It even makes Bai Tu wonder whether Yu Ji's hobbies have appeared in the long years after the death of Overlord. What changes...

Although the general's palace is getting stronger day by day, Jinling Ji's sanity is also recovering more and more. Occasionally, she can see flashes of agility in her eyes, unlike the dull look she had just before "Xian Shi Zhi Wen".

And the so-called urgent matters are just "urgent reports". Bai Tu had previously set up several news reports to remind them of urgent reports.

Since six signal towers have been built around Jinling, the speed of reporting directly into Chengji Mansion is faster than the general sending messages.

And this time the news came from the east—news about Gan Ning’s fleet!

Regarding the maritime industry, Bai Tu had always set the news of Gan Ning's fleet as a "key concern". At this time, Gan Ning had been at sea for four months. The plan was to send Guan Ning and Lu Xun all the way to Yizhou, and then go north to Liaodong. By sea, I received news of Gan Ning's last arrival at Wujun more than two months ago.

Compared with the first time I went to Yizhou, this second time I was familiar with the sea route. It only took a month and a half to go back and forth from Piling near the estuary of the Yangtze River to Yizhou!
If the route can be further clarified, the time can be shortened. If the ship's speed and distance are simply calculated, it can even take a few days to go back and forth. However... in fact, it is difficult to locate at sea with the current technology.

For example, in history, Zhuge Zhi first discovered Yizhou a year after going to sea...

Going north to Liaodong by sea is actually less difficult than finding Yizhou. If not, you can still go along the continental shelf.

And because it can sail offshore, a small fleet can be sent back at any time to deliver the message...

However, it has only been two months. Counting the time it took for the letter to be sent back, this should still be the news sent back a month ago. Naturally, it is not that the main fleet has arrived in Liaodong, but... Gan Ning happened to discover "Zhou Hu", which is also known as "Zhou Hu" in later generations. Jeju Island, so I sent someone back first to report.

Considering the time it takes for ships to return to Qu'a, if everything goes well, Gan Ning's main fleet should have arrived in Liaodong by now.

According to the information sent back, Gan Ning's main fleet arrived at "Zhouhu" a month ago and discovered the Tamluo Kingdom here - this was the Chinese name given by Bai Tu after seeing it.

Compared with Yiju, which was still in the tribal stage, Juhu, also known as Jeju Island, now has a unified kingdom.

Although the smelting and planting technologies are relatively primitive, they have become systematic and have their own writing. They belong to a civilization that pays equal attention to planting and animal husbandry.

In addition...Gan Ning discovered that the navigation technology of the Tamra Kingdom was more "developed" than planting and animal husbandry.

Of course, it is more reflected in the "software", that is, some navigation technology. As for ship manufacturing... it is still very primitive!
Zhouhu are the Sanhan people in the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula. They were given a name. Gan Ning also struggled with logic for a long time before he realized that these people were "zhouhu". Unlike Yizhou, which was isolated from the world, the Zhouhu people are now Not only does it have its own kingdom, but it also has sea routes to communicate with the three Koreas.

In history, during the Three Kingdoms period, the ships of the Tamra Kingdom could even reach the Central Plains. Especially starting from the Western Jin Dynasty, the people of the Tamra Kingdom gradually became keen on trade with the Central Plains and the Three Koreas. By the Tang Dynasty, the Tamra Kingdom It was also one of the countries that often paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. It was also at that time that the Tang people began to translate their country as "Tanluo" or "Sheluo".

Therefore, the current Tamna Kingdom, despite its poor craftsmanship and primitive farming and animal husbandry, has a relatively good understanding of the sea.

Therefore, Gan Ning also directly hired the local Zhouhu people and the Sanhan people in Zhouhu, and used them as guides to continue sailing north - they were familiar with this route!

It is precisely because the Zhouhu people are connected with the Sanhan people, and the Sanhan people are also connected with the Han people, that Gan Ning does not have no means of communication with them. In Zhouhu, he can even find Sanhan businessmen who understand Chinese.

After all, the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula (not Goguryeo, referring to a certain sensitive place name) is still the four Han counties - even if the control is reduced, at least Xuantu and Liaodong are still in charge of the Han people, and the two counties of Lelang and Daifang are still in Gongsundu in name. Under the control of the Fuyu State, the leader of the Fuyu State is still Gongsun Du's son-in-law. Facing the threats from the Xianbei people in the north, the Goguryeo people in the northeast, and the three Han people in the south, Fuyu State is very dependent on Gongsun Du.

Compared with Yizhou, Zhouhu had a higher level of education at this time, and it was also easier to communicate.

Seeing that Gan Ning's fleet still had armour, they invited Gan Ning to the capital directly without even having a direct confrontation.

Ordinary barbarians in the state lived in animal skin tents in the summer and cave dwellings in the winter. Only in the royal city could one see stone houses.

Gan Ning's identity as a Han general was also recognized by the Sanhan people who were merchants here, and he was soon treated as an honored guest in Tamluo Kingdom.

after all……

Even if this fleet is divided into two and then fights fiercely, the remainder will be enough to destroy two people from Tamluo.

It was precisely because of the exchanges and even the discovery of three Han people that Bai Tu believed that Gan Ning should have arrived in Liaodong.

Gan Ning's report was mainly about his attitude towards Zhou Hu.

Because the Zhou Hu people had dealt with the Sanhan people before, they had also heard of "Han". When they saw Gan Ning's fleet, although it was their first contact, they rationally did not have a conflict.

Gan Ning went to Liaodong for trading, so naturally he brought a large amount of grain, brocade, silk cloth, and... farm tools and weapons!

A tenth of the cargo was unloaded in Zhouhu. Although it did not include weapons, it was enough to suppress the opponent's "Star Lord".

In Zhouhu, or the Tamluo Kingdom, the king is called "Star Lord" and the general is called "Prince", and they are the top rulers in the kingdom.

Except for the royal capital, the living conditions of the local people are similar to those of the "savages" of China in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they were all still under a semi-tribal culture.

The items traded are mainly honey and slaves - of course, according to the rules of the General's Palace, if a slave is brought back to the area controlled by the General's Palace, it will automatically be deemed to have terminated the sale contract and concluded a ten-year contract.

Gan Ning did not want to take it back. In addition to honey, he mainly asked for, or rented, a port and nearby land from the "Star Lord", and promised that after the Han army was stationed, there would be more honey every year. goods to trade.

At first, the star master and the general were a little unhappy, but while Gan Ning was practicing outside the royal capital, he privately assured the star master and the prince that if the three Han people had any ideas about their kingdom in the future, the upright Han Da General, you can mediate on your behalf...
