sweeping the world

Chapter 530 There Are Many Problems
Time entered the spring of the fifth year of Yuanshuo, and the first batch of Han troops preparing to invade South Asia arrived at Zhuyazhou, accompanied by some family armed forces.

The season has entered the spring stage, and the ice and snow on the northernmost border of the Han Kingdom have not yet melted. On the contrary, it is still snowing in spring. It seems that this year's northern part will enter the season of warm spring and flowers blooming later.

At this time in previous years, there should have been continuous heavy rains in the Yangtze River Basin, but this year it was a bit abnormal. There were only a few light rains, and there was no sign of a continuous rainy season.

The abnormal climate has made the whole Han country tense. The ice and snow in the north have not melted, which indicates that there will be a delay in planting. The rainy season in the central part may not come, and there may be drought.The most urgent thing for the central civil service system is to speed up the construction of irrigation and hydraulic power in various places. If there is a drought, at least after natural disasters, manpower can play a remedial role.

At the most southwestern tip of the Han Kingdom, the people in Zhuyazhou are not so aware of the inland situation. They are enjoying the most suitable temperature for the human body, and of course the exotic scenery.

Zhuyazhou is undoubtedly a very suitable place to relax if you don’t look at the production but only look at the scenery, especially if you can swim, take a boat out to the offshore area, and look at the mint green because the water is not too deep On the sea surface, look at a piece of yellow-white sandy beach, the scenery will be intoxicating.

"This place is really comfortable to stay in!" Fu Wei was lying on the armchair, basking in the gentle sunshine: "This trip is really profitable."

That is, you will feel comfortable on the coast, and the coastal scenery is indeed very good.If you go deep into the hinterland, the scenery is actually not much different from the inland, especially since this side has not been developed at all, and staying in the uninhabited primitive area for a long time will only make you feel depressed instead of happy.

Fu Wei went out to sea with some of his subordinates and docked about one mile away from the beach.

Most of the coastal areas of Zhuyazhou are not too deep, and ships with too deep a draft cannot approach. With the current industrial capacity, only some natural deep water areas are suitable as seaports.But now the only way to choose a port is to choose a natural deep-water area. After all, the construction of an artificial port is not that simple.

It is already one mile away from the beach, but the depth of the water is only six meters at most. Under the sufficient sunlight, the sea water is also unbelievably clear. It is possible to peep from the surface of the water to the seabed. There are corals everywhere under the water. The fish swim back and forth.

Fittingly, everyone, including Fu Wei, just wore a pair of underpants, went swimming or diving when they liked, and boarded the boat when they felt tired. It was so leisurely.

"Come, come!" Marquis Lv Liang held a wooden table with both hands, on which was a steaming lobster: "The local specialty, just steam it, and sprinkle some scallion oil to smell it."

The lobster has been cut up, probably because I don’t know how to serve seafood. The shell was broken during cooking. It doesn’t look very good, but it smells really delicious.

Being in the army, when you are relaxing, you only need to pay attention to your immediate superiors. The colleagues at the same level are not polite at all. Fu Wei took the lead in "swiping" a little over, and the rest was quickly divided up. Lu Liang, who brought up the delicious food, only got a tail in the end.

Lobsters are not unique to Zhuyazhou, as long as you are looking for them along the coast, you can definitely find them, but it is very difficult to find lobsters as big as Zhuyazhou.

"It's at least twice as big as Qingzhou!" Fu Wei was actually talking about Changguang County, where the aquatic products are abundant, and there is no shortage of some shell seafood: "When there are ships returning home, choose the big ones for them. Bring a few buckets and dedicate them to the king and the princes."

"It's like coconut, what's the name of that?" Lu Liang thought for a while, and finally remembered the name: "Lychee? Yes, it's lychee. Serve them all iced, and you must offer them to the king to taste. "

The current transportation is not convenient, and the transplanted technology is not good enough. It is obviously a product of the same country, but it is impossible to see it if it is far away.

Litchi is a specialty of the southwest, and a fruit called longan is also a specialty of the southwest and southeast.

Lu Liang would say that because Liu Yan had specially ordered the army invading the south to send longan quickly, thinking that lychees were bigger and sweeter than longan, so they should be loved.

When you find something good, you should think of dedicating it to the king as soon as possible, especially the soldiers who go on an expedition outside the border. In addition to showing off their martial arts, they also have a spiritual sustenance.

There are not too few strange things that can be dedicated to the center in Zhu Yazhou, and the edible things are only a small part of them. If you spend a little effort to explore and collect them, coral is one of the big items, and pearls, Luxuries like gems.

Coral is currently not well-known in China's ornamental circles. The main reason is that there are not many ways to obtain it. It has to wait for the prosperity of HNA trade before it becomes popular in the south. The north has always been dominated by jade.

In terms of pearls, the pearls in the Central Plains think that the East China Sea pearls are the most valuable, mainly because the East China Sea pearls are large enough and round, but the pearls on Zhuyazhou are bigger and better in color than the East China Sea pearls, and the other is the Japanese pearl.

After the fleet arrived at Zhuyazhou, they did not immediately invade Linyi and Funan. After docking at Zhuyazhou, they entered a rest period. As long as they had no official duties, the generals could hunt for novelties anytime and anywhere, and the soldiers took turns to take vacations.They need some time to adapt to the climate, and their bodies need to be recuperated before they can invade at their peak.

Fu Wei also learned the fact that in spring, the climate on the southwestern peninsula is extremely changeable. It is not just raining, but violent storms, which are real violent storms, that is, hurricanes and rainstorms that come from the sea. The terror of typhoons exists.

There are other reasons why the invasion has not yet begun, but it is not because of the natural climate. The Han army has not seen hurricanes and typhoons, and has no intuitive impression.

After a long sea voyage, landing operations without any rest and reorganization, too long sea voyage will cause the soldiers' condition to deteriorate, and will cause a lot of fearless casualties.In this way, it is simple. No country's army will immediately enter the landing operation without a rest after sailing at sea for a long time.

Today is the third day of rest, and after another seven days of rest, it is time to send the first batch of invasion troops.

With the demise of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, most of the Jiaozhi area belonging to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was taken over by the Han Dynasty, and some areas were captured by the sudden march of Linyi Kingdom and Funan Kingdom.

The Han army will land in Rinan County, and the landing site is a place called Bijing (modern Guangxi), which is a natural seaport in Jiaozhi, closest to Zhuwu (west of modern Donghai).And Lin Yiguo occupied the west of Zhu Wu, which originally belonged to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The first stage of the southward fleet invasion was to recover the lost land first.

Although it was decided to invade South Asia, the Han State was basically blind to the local terrain. It was only after consulting the map in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty that it had a preliminary understanding. The problem is that the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not understand South Asia well. Not many, many of them are scribbles of my own imagination.

For example, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty marched into South Asia, regained part of the territory lost during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and re-established Jiaozhi. The terrible thing is that it only recovered to the vicinity of Da Nang in the south of Vietnam, while the Western Han Dynasty penetrated directly to the most southwestern tip.

In addition to not completely regaining the lost land in the Western Han Dynasty, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not care about the hinterland at all. They only roughly recorded some things such as a big mountain within one or two hundred miles of the hinterland, what kind of mountain is the mountain, how high or how long is the mountain? , and the like are basically not mentioned a word.

Seven days later, Fu Wei arrived at Bijing with the first batch of landing troops in person. He was greeted by Wu Ding, the Jiaozhi school captain who had met once in Zhuyazhou.

"Unfortunately, it happened to be raining." Wu Ding frowned and looked at the dark sky, which was raining heavily like splashing water: "I have prepared enough ginger soup, I hope you have brought enough rain gear .Should we let the soldiers disembark, or wait for the rain to stop?"

Fu Wei also felt very unlucky. It was sunny and sunny when they set off from Zhuyazhou, and the weather was also good halfway through the voyage. It rained only after entering the Beibu Gulf. Unexpectedly, the rain on the Jiaozhi side would be worse than It's bigger than the sea.

The first batch of troops to land on Jiaozhi, the number of the Han army was only [-], and the armed forces of those families including the Yu clan had [-], which will be transported and delivered in batches later.

Yu Fangzhi and Huan Xu were completely bewildered, they were eager to know when the rain would stop.

"I can't say for sure." Wu Dingcai had been a Jiaozhi captain for less than three months. He waved to a surrendered Jin army general, and when the others came closer, he asked: "When will this rain stop?"

After Yuan Fang surrendered, he performed well and was called in. He used to be a miscellaneous general, but now he is a military lord of the Han army.He thought for a while and said, "According to previous years' experience, it should rain for four or five days at this time?"

Four or five days of rain is not too long, any place has a similar climate.

"After the rain stops, the weather will not become clear, it will still be overcast." Seeing the people who had just disembarked from the boat, Yuan Fang frowned, and said with a wry smile: "This is the case in spring, and the overcast is not bad, just The air is a little more humid, and it would be uncomfortable if it came to the continuous rainy season."

Those who are familiar with the peninsula's climate will know that spring is not a good time to invade, and even autumn is not suitable. It should be summer or winter.

There are many spring rainy seasons on the peninsula. It would be wrong to say that the rainy season is just a trouble, and there are quite a lot of extended problems.First of all, the continuous heavy rain will make many primitive jungles flooded with water, and then the mudslides will be extremely serious, and there will be no traffic.Then there is the ecology of the original jungle on the peninsula. Spring is the season of recovery of all things. All plants grow fast. Even if a road is opened up, believe it or not, those plants that have been cleared will grow everywhere in a few days.

"Linyi is a country built in dense forests, and very few areas are plains." Yuan Fang said strangely: "They hardly have any cities, and most of them are in the form of villages. There are almost no traffic roads, and some are temporarily opened. out the trail."

Yu Fangzhi's expression became bitter the more he listened.Before he came here, he had a preliminary understanding of Linyi, knowing that it was a barren land, and only after seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it from people he knew well did he know the extent of the barrenness.

Some other family leaders, they began to doubt whether it was right to come to this broken place.

"It's true that the crops grow more than one year. At least two waves can be harvested a year, and the most areas can be harvested four or five times a year." Yuan Fang said with disgust: "Most of the local savages don't do production. Sleeping and lounging, relying on melons and fruits can feed you every day."

Fu Wei liked to hear this. The main goal of his army this time was not to conquer a large territory, but to plunder food.

"Food?" Yuan Fang was stunned after getting this answer, and said casually, "If it's just for food, just inform the people of Linyi and Funan that there are cloth and ironware here, and they will be happy to exchange them."

At this time, Wu Ding realized that the fleet was going south for food, and he said a little stupidly: "In the granary on the side of Jiaozhi, the grain is piled up like a mountain..."

Yu Fangzhi's face became even more bitter. The official came here for food, and the family's armed forces came. Besides various resources, the main target was land.

"The so-called pile up like a mountain..." Fu Wei's eyes widened: "How much is it?"

Wu Ding said uncertainly: "There must be tens of thousands of stones?"

Yuan Fang said with great certainty: "12 shi is more."

Fu Wei greeted the people who were still on the ship to disembark without saying a word. Apart from the accompanying soldiers, there were [-] special personnel who came.

The so-called special personnel are naturally system farmers, and their arrival is to build system buildings.

The 12 stones stored in Jiaozhi is certainly not enough for Fu Wei, and their stated goal is to go to the number of one million stones.

"Sun Tzu's Suan Jing" is written in great detail, 16 two is one (wrestling force), thirty (wrestling force) is one jun, and four jun is one stone. 10 people average one (wrestling) per day, so the daily consumption is about 833 shi, and 10 shi is only enough for [-] people to consume for about four months.

The military force used by the Han Dynasty was very large, and not only the military was short of food, but because the production system had been destroyed and had not yet been restored, it can be said that the entire country needed food.

Considering that large-scale droughts may occur in the Central Plains and the South in the future, food output will definitely decrease, and the demand for food will increase sharply. Liu Yan hastily dispatched troops to invade the Southwest Peninsula to be prepared.

[Spring is not suitable for combat. Do you want to start spreading news to Linyi and Funan as Yuan Junhou said, to attract them to come and trade grain? 】Fu Wei felt very headache, and the looting turned into a trade relationship, and the balls began to hurt after thinking about it: 【If it really turns into this, it will probably be laughed to death by colleagues, right? 】

Next, Fu Wei did nothing else. While sending warships to patrol the coast, he searched for reliable maps of mountains and rivers and continued to study...
