Chapter 219: Expedition to Sindhu? Don’t be ridiculous!

"Yin Jiao is in Sindhu? Does he dare to run any further?"

Deng Chanyu looked at the letter in her hand, feeling both amused and annoyed.

Oh my goodness, wasn't Yin Jiao dead? Why did you go to Sindhu all of a sudden? Why don't you go to Egypt? Go there and get some pharaoh mummies. The nobles of the British Empire like this stuff, maybe the nobles of the Great Yin Empire would like it too?
There is naturally no Egypt in the ancient world. Whether it is called Shentu or Tianzhu, it is actually influenced by the Xia culture.

The ruler of India at the time of Tang Monk was called Emperor Yizong. It was said that he had established his country for more than 500 years and had an era name called Jingyan.

As for now? Bashu is completely desolate, not to mention Sindhu, where there are more wild beasts than people.

Deng Chanyu handed the letter to Mei Bo: "Mei Bo, take a look, is this the handwriting of His Highness?"

Mei Bo read it carefully twice and said, "It is indeed the handwriting of His Highness. I cannot be mistaken."

What was the meaning of Yin Jiao writing to Deng Chanyu all the way from Sindhu? Of course, he was here to persuade her to surrender.

It is said that he obtained the support of the Grand Master of the Kingdom of Sindhu, raised an army of 500,000, and prepared to attack the Shang Dynasty and unify the world.

The letter specifically mentioned that if the Deng family surrendered now, they would still be enfeoffed as marquises, otherwise once the army arrived, they would all be crushed to pieces.

Deng Chanyu casually handed the letter to the guard beside her: "Eight hundred miles, send it to Chaoge urgently."

"Yes."

The Deng family built many roads along the line from Nanjun, Sanshan Pass to Xuzhou. Officials along the way thought the Deng family was stupid.
Regardless of whether it was stupid or not, the information was transmitted much faster. In less than five days, the messenger arrived in Chaoge City with Yin Jiao's letter of surrender.

"How dare you, this rebellious son! This is also a rebellious son!" King Zhou didn't care why Yin Jiao was still alive, but was annoyed that this son dared to covet his kingdom.

Deng Jiugong immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I, an old minister, am willing to lead our army into Shu and march west along the ancient road. I will not return until I have conquered the tiny kingdom of Shentu!"

King Zhou waved his hand and said, "Stop kidding. I finally tricked you into coming to Chaoge. How can I let you go?"

I think your daughter who is devoted to practicing Buddhism is a good person. Go ahead.

Huang Feihu wanted to lead an army to fight, but he was rejected.

The title of King Wucheng could not be promoted any higher, so he could only continue to be respected.

King Zhou was only angry about Yin Jiao's actions, but he was not actually worried at all that the Kingdom of Sindhu would attack the Shang Dynasty, because the two sides were too far away from each other!
His instruction to Nanjun was to "act according to one's discretion."

It's up to you.

Deng Chanyu wrote two more letters asking for help, asking for weapons and food.

King Zhou did not give weapons to the army, but he gave enough food and fodder for two months to feed the 100,000-strong army.

Deng Chanyu happily accepted it, and never mentioned the matter of Sindhu again, neither good nor bad, and just let it go.

The expedition to Sindhu is really just talk. Who would go to such a remote, poor and remote place?

Let Deng Chanyu march west?

First go to Bashu, and then enter the primeval forest within the ancient Dian Kingdom. It is still more than 800 years since the founding of the ancient Dian Kingdom, so the Zhuchen Pearl is definitely not found.

After going through untold hardships, they walked out of the primeval forest, followed the Dulong River to the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula, and then built a ship and crossed the sea to Sindhu.

This route is theoretically possible. If 100% of the troops reach Sindhu, about 10% will still be left.
A large army expedition is simply not feasible, as they can't get there, and they can't get there either. Merchants can go, though.

This merchant does not refer to the people of the Shang Dynasty, but to a group of people engaged in trade.

Seriously, going from the Central Plains to Shentu is impossible. It would take years to go back and forth, assuming you didn't encounter any monsters or demons. Even if the profit of the goods increased a thousandfold, it wouldn't be enough. What kind of goods can have a profit of a thousand times? Who would buy it if you increased it?

However, merchants took turns selling goods from the Central Plains to Nanjun, then to Hanzhong, and finally to Bashu, and finally walked along the ancient road, crossed the snow-capped mountains, and arrived in Shentu. This situation did exist.

In history, when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, he saw Shu brocade there. The locals said that it was purchased from Sindhu. This shows that at the grassroots level at that time, the caravans had actually opened up the trade route between Shu and Sindhu.

"General Ding."

"My subordinate is here."

Deng Chanyu thought for a moment and said, "Go back and ask our caravan if they have any cotton seeds from Sindhu. If they do, bring some back and I'll pay you a thousand gold coins."

Ding Ce had obviously never seen cotton, and Deng Chanyu didn't know the ancient name of cotton in this era. She stretched out her hand and used her magic power to outline the appearance of cotton in the air. It was probably something like this.

Yuan Futong and his men rebelled because the north was getting colder. It didn't matter whether it was due to the catastrophe or the Little Ice Age, as many people in the north were frozen to death.

If the cotton seeds could be brought back, they would be able to save many lives.

"If possible, bring me some slaves from Sindhu, and ask them to be able to grow cotton."

"My subordinates will remember it."

No one in the Central Plains knows how to grow this thing. Everyone has their own expertise. The people of Sindhu are good at growing cotton, so they should be very good!
After finishing the backlog of official business, Deng Chanyu came to Chaoge City and inquired about the plague control there. There had been no plague control envoys in the central region, so she often had to come and keep an eye on it herself.

The Ma family is quite organized among the people of Chaoge. A group of old men and women distribute rice and chant spells to eliminate the plague, which works quite well. In addition, Chaoge has a strong Yin and Shang Dynasty aura, so there are no signs of a major epidemic at present.

Deng Chanyu stayed at the Deng Mansion, preparing to go on a journey tomorrow! Nuwa had told her to wander around and see the world instead of just practicing asceticism, and she agreed.

Just as he was about to take a break, he heard that Huang Feihu and his wife Jia came to visit.

"Are you here to find me?"

She was a little puzzled. Deng Jiugong and Deng Xiu didn't know what the reason was for coming to visit so late in the evening. The three of them, together with Huang Yan's sister-in-law, met Huang Feihu and his wife inside the mansion, and then welcomed them in.

The two men came quietly and covertly. If you didn't know, you would think they were discussing a rebellion.

"My dear niece, there is something I really don't know whether I should tell you or not." Huang Feihu looked a little hesitant.

If it were someone else, it would definitely be "inappropriate to say".

The Huang family is now an ally of the Deng family, and Huang Feihu was named the Emperor of Dongyue after his death.

As for other gods, it's all up to fate. Who goes up and who goes down depends on God's will. He, the Emperor of Dongyue, has actually been decided internally. Huang Feihu was a god before, and now he just takes the opportunity to adjust his job position.
"Uncle Huang, just speak frankly."

Jia was beautiful and didn't look like a woman in her forties at all. No wonder King Zhou was attracted by her beauty.

At this time, the beautiful middle-aged woman was sitting aside and crying silently. Huang Feihu told her something that was not too secret for a time traveler.

"Tianlu isn't my wife and I's eldest son. We originally had another son named Tianhua. When Tianhua was three years old, a strong wind blew through, and he disappeared while playing in the mansion!"
