Chapter 399 The Eve of Departure
Yangzhou, Moling City, General Wei's Mansion.

"Sanggong, why do you want to go to that place called Japan? Isn't this Yangzhou well brought? And Yan'er has never heard of this place! Is there a place called Japan in the big man?" Cai Yan sat on the bed Head, stroking the slightly swollen belly, said to Zhao Lei.

"Yan'er, actually that place isn't called Japan, maybe...it should be called the country of Japanese pirates right now!" Zhao Lei laughed.

"Ms. Xianggong is talking about the country of Wa on the coast of the East China Sea, west of Penglai Port?" Cai Yan asked in a daze.

"You actually know the geographical location of that country?" Zhao Lei was surprised. In this era, people who know the geographical location of Japan simply do not exist...

"I just read it in an ancient book, my husband, where are you really going?" Cai Yan asked worriedly.

"Well, I didn't have a chance before. Now that I have this condition, I naturally want to go. Don't worry, Yan'er, it's just a barren land. Even if there is an army, the equipment can't be compared with my regular Yangzhou army. It's okay, I just formed an alliance with the local forces in the past few months, and I will be back soon." Zhao Lei patted Cai Yan's head and smiled.

Seeing Zhao Lei's persistence, Cai Yan finally nodded.

"My lord, Army Master Zhang Han is out to see you." The soldier at the door shouted into the room at this time.

"The man came to look for me, Yan'er, you wait for me here for a while, I will come whenever I go." Zhao Lei said.

General Wei's mansion, study room.

"Xiao Lei, you must be careful when you go to Japan this time. I read it on the Internet before. Japan in the Eastern Han Dynasty was very chaotic." Zhang Han said, taking a sip of tea.

"How do you know?" Zhao Lei asked.

"According to historical records, Japan was also in the sea southeast of South Korea at that time, but it lived between mountains and islands. At that time, there were more than 100 vassal states. After Han Wudi destroyed North Korea, there were [-] countries that established friendly relations with the Han Dynasty. The country, the head of the country is called the king, and it will be passed down from generation to generation." Zhang Han said.

"Japan already has inheritance at this time?" Zhao Lei asked.

Zhang Han nodded and continued: "No, not only that, at that time Japan also produced rice and mulberry, and of course white pearls and sapphires were produced in the water, and there were red soil on the mountain. Because of the temperature adaptation, there were also vegetables. But there were no Cattle, horses, tigers, leopards, sheep, magpies and other birds and animals. The weapons are also very clumsy, such as spears, shields, wooden bows, and arrows made of bamboo. Men like to tattoo their faces and engrave patterns all over their bodies, depending on the size of the patterns To distinguish the level of status. Men’s clothes are worn horizontally and knotted together. Women’s long hair is loose, and the clothes are like a single-layer quilt, which is tightly wrapped from head to bottom. Red paint is used to paint the whole body , just like the powder used in China at that time. They also had a castle house, their parents and brothers did not live together, and they ate with their hands directly. They are also very big, and it is said that many of them live to be a hundred years old. There are many women in Japan, and polygamy was advocated at that time. High officials can have four or five wives, and the rest can have two or three. It seems that in At that time, it was very common in Japan to have a mistress and raise a mistress. Women have a very good temper, and they are said to be neither greedy nor jealous. It is rare for the people to see theft, and there are very few lawsuits. There are crimes, As long as his wife is held accountable, if it is serious, he will kill his whole family, and even his family. After listening to the dead body for more than ten days, the whole family cried, could not drink or eat, but often used songs and dances to express their inner feelings .Japan is sometimes very barbaric. They are surrounded by the sea. Sometimes when they cross the sea, they often use burnt bones to predict good or bad luck. Let a person who does not bathe, eat meat, and stay close to women be called "sustaining decline". If in On the way, the person doing things smoothly will give him many benefits, such as property and so on. But if someone else gets sick while crossing the sea, the people on the same boat will think that this person is not careful, and they will kill him together. Han During the time of Emperor Guangwu, Japan was called the Wonu country at that time. It once entered the court to offer congratulations. The envoy claimed to be a doctor. The roster of the people, hoping to be received by the emperor. During the period of Emperor Huandi Lingdi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Japanese slave country was in chaos, you beat me and you beat you, the people were in dire straits, and even a person who came forward to manage it could not be found. There was a woman named Himihu, She is a capable person. When she was old and couldn't find a partner, she pretended to be a ghost every day, saying that she could confuse others and let everyone make her a queen. At that time, she had more than 1000 maids, and the strange thing was that there was only one man who fed her. She spoke. The place where she lives is also a palace, with guards guarding the gates, and the laws are very strict, but even so, Japan does not agree, and there are some other small countries, which later evolved into Li Ruzhen's novel "Flowers in the Mirror". Yes. The Chinese have always believed that they saved these nations at that time. Doesn’t the famous story of Xu Fu’s journey to the east illustrate this point? I don’t know if the descendants of Xu Fu’s virgin boys and girls are still alive today, but I think those who took Weapons to China for murder and arsonRobbers are obviously not the evil species that China once sent. "

"Wait! You said that during the period of Emperor Huan and Lingdi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an informer in Japan called... called..." Zhao Lei said.

"Himiko!" Zhang Han said.

"That is to say, although Lingdi has been dead for several years now, but in 196 AD, Japan was under the rule of Himiko?" Zhao Lei asked.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Yes or no, you can only verify it yourself. There are also some things about Xu Fu. This time we go to Japan, we can also get some research."

Zhao Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that time travelers still have the benefits of time travelers. There are some things that cannot be explained in history, we can explore them!"

Zhang Han smiled and did not comment on Zhao Lei's words.

One month later, Zhao Lei brought everyone to Qu'a Port in Wu County, where Gan Ning had already parked the big ship that Gan Ning had prepared for Zhao Lei to go to Japan. Zhao Lei called this huge ship an aircraft carrier. Indeed, this In this era, a ship of this size can be regarded as a huge fog.

Zhao Lei sat in the hall of Wu Jun Taishou's Mansion, raised his hand, and said to Zhao Yun, Li Lei, Wen Pin, and Jiang Qin: "Okay, brothers, you are all excused."

As the number one general under Zhao Lei, Zhao Yun's action this time was to protect Zhao Lei all the way. At this moment, Zhao Yun was fully armed and in silver armor, standing behind Zhao Lei.

"My lord, according to my lord's wishes, my subordinates have prepared five sea-going ships pretending to be merchant ships, and some goods for the envoy have also been loaded on the merchant ships, mainly including our Yingcha from Yangzhou and some Grain or something. Now, as long as the lord gives an order, you can go to sea immediately." Gan Ning, wearing a blue and white military uniform, stood straight in front of Zhao Lei, and cupped his hands.

The military uniforms of the Yangzhou Army have been preliminarily finalized after two years of transformation. The horse army, infantry army, and navy army all have different uniforms. They are no longer the ancient uniforms, but they have not reached the standard of modern military uniforms. In between, the body is tied, the waist is cinched, and it looks neat and neat when worn on the body, and officers of all ranks in the army have specific clothing standards, and one can tell at a glance what position the person wearing the uniform is in the army Yes, it must be wearing steel armor.

After Zhao Lei listened to Gan Ning's words, he said, "Very well, the reason why I asked you all to gather here today is to tell you that, except for Gan Ning, the four of you will accompany me to Soochow, and you will be in charge of everything alone. A ship, I manage a ship myself."

Wenpin is the deputy governor of the Jinfan Army. When he heard that he was about to go to sea, his face was happy, and he asked, "My lord, when will you go out?"

"Leave early tomorrow morning. Today you go to prepare first. This is the first time our Yangzhou army and navy have set sail. You can go to Japan with me, so you can see the strength of Himiko's navy in Japan. Come back. Afterwards, we started to focus on building a naval army." Zhao Lei said.

"promise"

Early the next morning, Zhao Lei, accompanied by Gan Ning, came to the seashore port. He saw five huge ships parked near the seashore, with the flag of Jinfan Army on them, and a few soldiers standing on the deck. Zhao Yun, Li Lei and Wenpin stood on three boats respectively, and looked at Zhao Lei.

"Very good. Although there are only more than 5000 people in the navy, they are very sophisticated. In the future, I will tend to expand the navy, whether it is in terms of armaments or military pay. After all, the situation of ships in the south and horses in the north is terrible It can't be reversed, I want everyone in the world to know that our Yangzhou army's navy is the number one in the world." Zhao Lei expressed his feelings after seeing it.

"My lord... My lord..." At this time, Huang Yueying galloped towards Zhao Lei galloping on a fine horse.

Zhao Lei turned his head and saw that Huang Yueying was coming, so he smiled and said, "Is she finally here?"

After a while, Huang Yueying came in front of Zhao Lei, turned over and jumped off the horse, cupped her fists and said, "See my lord."

"Mr. Huang is polite." Gan Ning, Wen Pin and others hurriedly bowed to Huang Yueying.

In the past two years, Huang Yueying has become Zhao Lei's second female military adviser, and she has designed a series of tricks such as wooden cows and horses for the Yangzhou army, so she naturally has some status in the hearts of the generals.

"My lord, why did you leave in such a hurry? Fortunately, I caught up in time. Otherwise, I would have missed this opportunity to go to sea." Huang Yueying complained.

Zhao Lei scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's urgent, so I have to leave in a hurry. Besides, I also sent someone to notify you. According to the time, you should have arrived yesterday. Why are you here now?"

Huang Yueying said: "I was in Chaisang and sister Xiaoqiao talked about strategy and world affairs every day. After receiving the notification from the lord, I was delayed for a while, so I came a bit late."

"Oh, you little girl, I also hit it off with Xiao Qiao. By the way, how did I order you to form a female soldier unit last year?" Zhao Lei asked with a smile.

"Well, everything is going well so far, otherwise I would not have the opportunity to go to sea with the lord! The response of this female soldier unit in Yangzhou was not very good at first, but after a period of time, it has now recruited 2000 people. At the same time, General Gan Ning Under his training, several female generals were produced."
