Chapter 66 Solving the "Eastern Japan" Problem from the Root

If the journey started from Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other places, it would be nearly a thousand kilometers away from Japan, which was basically beyond the capability of ships of that era. It was almost a miracle that Xu Fu was able to sail there.

However, after much verification and speculation, Jiang Cheng believed that he did not go directly.

Instead, they first sailed to Goguryeo, and then set out from the peninsula and headed for Japan - that way it was only more than 200 kilometers, not even as long as the diameter of a large city in later generations, so it was naturally easy to pass.

The reason why the Japanese appeared in Youzhou at this time is most likely due to this reason.

Because it is limited to Youzhou.

There are none in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

From the perspective of China's entire strategy, Japan is actually a very good place. It is far away in the ocean and isolated from the world. If all the people are relocated and a military zone is built there, an extremely powerful and self-sufficient navy can be built.

But in order to effectively control that area, they must occupy the peninsula and take down Goguryeo.

This led to Emperor Qin Shihuang's expedition to Goryeo, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo, and Li Shimin's expedition to Goryeo.

Generation after generation of emperors followed one after another.

But unfortunately, Goguryeo was located on a peninsula, a typical place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Chinese emperors of all dynasties who tried to attack there were just trying to get stuck in a dead end and could not take it down at all.

Throughout history, apart from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, which only fought but did not govern, no other dynasty has ever been able to conquer the country.

Gongsun Zan actually fought as well, but was also unable to take the city.

But that was when there were natural barriers to defend on land. Now, with the "treasure ship" bestowed by Jiang Cheng, they can attack from the sea and go ashore directly!
In that case, with the combat power of the "Phantom God of Civil War" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it would be easy to defeat him!

"Everyone, I have already submitted to the Great Heavenly Master. From today on, I will no longer participate in the disputes in the Central Plains court, and will focus on guarding the borders!" Gongsun Zan stood on the treasure ship and said to the two thousand white horse volunteers: "And today, I will set out to recapture 'Yingzhou' as 'Yingzhou', capture Goguryeo, and turn it into 'Lizhou' as the starting point for the Great Heavenly Master to build the 'Flame Great Wall'."

At this point, he drew his sword and shouted, "Would you like to join me in taking over these two states?"

As soon as these words were spoken, subordinates responded one after another.

Shouting "yes".

At this moment, the morale of the White Horse Volunteers reached an unprecedented level: on the one hand, the expansion of territory would surely be recorded in history, and Gongsun Zan and the White Horse Volunteers would be recorded in history books and be famous through the ages.

How could they not be happy?

On the other hand, there is the word "righteousness" in Baima Yicong.

They were not professional soldiers, but followers who responded to Gongsun Zan's call and gathered together. They did not do so to fight against the Yellow Turbans or to conquer the world, but to keep out foreign tribes.

All of these people, to varying degrees, have been persecuted by foreign races.

Be it revenge or be it a righteous cause.

In short, they gathered together just to fight against foreign races, so they were not very enthusiastic about the civil war - when Gongsun Zan joined forces with Yuan Shao to attack Jizhou, they just showed up but did not put in any effort; when Gongsun Zan wanted to fight Yuan Shao, many people did not go.

They say they want to stay, but in fact they just don't want to fight.

Even when Gongsun Zan was finally defeated by Yuan Shao and attempted suicide on a tall building, some of his followers did not help him.

On the contrary, they left before Gongsun Zan had spent all his wealth.

One of them is Zhao Yun!
Gongsun Zan, who had ambitions, was no longer the hero that made them follow him. After intervening in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, Gongsun Zan was no longer pure, and the White Horse Volunteers were no longer pure.

But it's different now.

Gongsun Zan is back!

"The foreign tribes are small, with an average height of only five feet. We are seven feet tall men, so we have nothing to fear!" "Goguryeo women are pretty, and men look like women, so there is nothing to worry about!"

"Kill it!"

Everyone's morale is high.

But he did not get too arrogant, but used all his means like a lion fighting a rabbit. After asking Jiang Cheng for instructions, he even brought the catapult and ladder onto the ship.

Fortunately, it was an extra-large cement cruise ship built by Jiang Cheng using modern knowledge.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to transport so many siege weapons.

……

On the other hand, the envoys from Japan had just arrived in Goguryeo and were meeting the queen who had just ascended the throne and was pregnant - the appearance of this queen was very inconsistent with history and did not appear naturally.

Instead, under the butterfly effect, the originally unknown Goguryeo princess became the queen.

Just because the Yellow Turban Rebellion was victorious and occupied Taihang Mountains and divided the territory with Emperor Ling, the later "King of Zhongchuan" Ranfu and his father thought it was profitable and led their troops from Youzhou to attack and rule the Central Plains.

As a result, as soon as he came out, he met Gongsun Zan who had returned from fighting the Yellow Turbans.

At that time, due to the small reward and the fall of his teacher, Gongsun Zan was very angry, so he led the White Horse Volunteers to severely defeat the Goguryeo army. Both father and son, as well as his little grandson who was watching the battle, were killed.

As a result, only a princess was left from the Goguryeo royal family.

The old emperor's sister and the aunt of Prince Ranfu of Zhongchuan.

I am pregnant.

She was forced to lead the ministers to organize a counterattack, and with the help of natural barriers, she successfully blocked Gongsun Zan's first wave of attack. After that, the second wave of attack was being prepared, but Dong Zhuo appeared, and the princes united to fight against Dong.

Goguryeo was naturally spared.

I somehow managed to sit firmly on the throne while I was pregnant.

"I came here not for His Majesty the Emperor, but for the tenth daughter of our Emperor Jimmu, Princess Amaterasu!" The Japanese envoy said, "She is also a person with great ambitions, just like you. But as a girl, it is difficult for her to achieve anything, so..."

It turned out that this Japanese envoy was not a Japanese.

Rather, they are the descendants of the five hundred boys and girls brought by Xu Fu, and they are the descendants of Xu Fu who are loyal to him.

But unfortunately, although Xu Fu became Emperor Jimmu, his descendants were not very ambitious and failed to completely suppress the group of tamed savages, and their power was seized by the uprising of the lower classes.

After four hundred years of evolution, the "Xu Family" has now declined, with only one woman left.

The descendants of the "five hundred boys and girls" also intertwined with the indigenous people, and most of them turned to the new emperor, leaving only the envoys' branch.

As for why Emperor Jimmu, the descendant of Amaterasu, became Xu Fu.

Why was Xu Fu's tenth daughter called "Princess Amaterasu"? That is not a question of history, but a question of mythology. After China's "Taoist mythology" became widely circulated, the time became earlier than the source Laozi, and Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun also appeared.

It’s just that the Chinese can distinguish between myth and reality, so they don’t get them confused.

But they couldn't tell the difference between some of the 1.6-meter-tall basket-like legs, which looked exactly like some of the white stars.

"Great ambitions? I..." Yu Qian was worried, but at this moment, there was a sudden shout of killing outside. Then, someone rushed over and said, "Oh no! The evil head Gongsun Zan has come to the imperial city under the banner of the Yan bandits!"
