Chapter 853 Exchange of Yizhou in the Sea for Jiangzhou
"In the first month of the second year of Huanglong in the Eastern Wu, General Wei Wen was sent to send General Wei Wen, and Zhuge Zhi to fly to the sea to seek Yizhou and Danzhou."
"In the third year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, Zhu Kuan, the cavalry guard of Sui Yu, and He Man, the sea division, went to the sea to seek foreign customs and arrived at Liuqiu. Because of his lack of language, he captured a native and returned."
"In the sixth year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, Chen Ling, the general of Wu Ben, led 10,000 Dongyang troops, headed south along the coast, and advanced to Yi'an County. He joined the servants obtained during the conquest of Linyi, went to sea from Chaozhou, and went straight to seek......"
Guanzhong,
Qizhou, ninety-year palaces.
In early March, the emperor took the queen to visit Jiucheng Palace and left the prince to supervise the country.
This time, the emperor left all eight prime ministers in Chang'an, but brought the national uncle Changsun Wuji, as well as Qin Qiong, Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi, Changsun Shunde, Liu Hongji, Li Xiaogong and other veterans by his side.
The conditions in the camp are very good, the queen's condition has improved greatly, and even Li Shimin feels much more relaxed.
The emperor and the elders hunted and drank tea, and lived a comfortable life.
Li Shimin was surprised to see Wu Huaiyu's latest letter.
"Your Majesty, this Yizhou and Liuqiu seem to be the same place?" Yang Gongren said.
"Well, it's east of Zhang, Quan and Fuzhou, across the strait for hundreds of miles," Li Shimin replied.
"Then this Liuqiu Island is not next to Lingnan. Why did Duke Jin suddenly mention this here? Could it be that Duke Jin has taken a fancy to this island?"
Chen Shuda is from the south, but he knows more about Convective Island.
"This Liuqiu Island is not small, probably as big as Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou together,"
"There are three states?"
Li Xiaogong talked about another thing, "In the sixth year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang sent general Chen Ling to cross the sea to seek Liuqiu. He set out from Chaozhou and wandered on the sea for a month before he arrived at Liuqiu."
"Didn't it meant that it was only a few hundred miles apart?"
"That was because Chen Ling's fleet was not familiar with the route. I remember that when Wu sent people to search for Yizhou, he set out from Jianye and finally arrived on Yizhou Island, it took a whole year."
At that time, the Eastern Wu was the weakest in the Three Kingdoms. The Eastern Wu wanted to expand his territory and increase his population. He not only sent a fleet to find Yizhou and Danzhou, but later also sent people to explore Hainan Island, and even opened up routes to Liaodong to establish ally relations with the north.
After Wei Wen and his friends found Yizhou and landed, they found that the island was good, and it was indeed as gentle as the rumor said, and the land was fertile.
However, the local high mountain barbarians were not very friendly, and they came to drive away all kinds of backward weapons in animal skins. Although the Wu army was the weakest among the Three Kingdoms, they could at least divide the world.
The Wu army easily defeated the barbarians and drove them back to the mountain.
Wei Wen and his friends began to establish strongholds, set up camps, and began to reclaim land and farmland. They also remembered the task of the King of Wu, who was to expand territory and lead the recruitment of troops for the Wu Kingdom. So they sent people to talk to the barbarians, and gave gifts to establish relationships with the barbarians.
The Wu army built cities and farms in Yizhou. More than 10,000 people worked very hard, but they were not adapted to the local conditions and the soldiers were infected. The fleet brought not much medicine. The soldiers died soon.
After staying for a year, I couldn't hold on anymore. Wei Wen brought the remaining people back. When he left, he also found a way to take thousands of Yizhou barbarians back to pay the job.
This matter was greatly lost to Sun Quan's expectations. Under Lu Xun's attack, Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi were beheaded in the end, and Sun Wu did not continue to develop Yizhou.
But since then, the mainland also knew about the situation in Yizhou. Although there was no official development, many merchants began to go to Yizhou to conduct business transactions.
Official records of Yizhou say that Yizhou is in the southeast of Taizhou, the land is free of frost and snow, the plants and trees are not dead, and there are mountains on all sides. The savages live on the mountain, each of them is king, and divide the land and people. Everyone has their heads shaved, men wear ears and have their hair cut tattoos.
The land is fertile, and the grains are grown, and fishing and hunting are also said that the whole family sleeps in a big bed and does not avoid it when having sex.
It can weave fine cloth and dye patterns. It can be sharpened with deer antlers and bluestone as weapons.
After killing someone, he left his skull and sang like a wolf dog howling.
Anyway, they are just a group of savages, but their production level is actually OK.
By the time of the Sui Dynasty,
Zhu Kuan arrived at Liuqiu and went to Zhaofu Island to pay tribute to the Great Sui Dynasty. However, the tribes on the island each claimed to be kings. They knew that there was a continent to the east of the sea and that there were great powers there, but why did they take the risk of tribute to you?
Yang Guang was most happy with the excellence and was very unhappy when he was rejected.
At that time, Sun Quan was just thinking about the land population in Yizhou. He wanted to expand his territory and increase the military tax base. He sent more than 10,000 people to risk their business for a year. Later, he found that he had lost money, so he would not mention it again.
Yang Guang wants to build a great cause.
Although Yang Guang had not yet conquered Goguryeo, he had already conquered Linyi and captured his capital, destroyed Yiwu, and overthrew Tuyuhun. The Turks also surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.
Just as he was about to do Goguryeo, Xiao Xiaoliu asked not to respect the Great Sui Dynasty, so he sent troops to attack and kill them. He just practiced his skills first.
Chen Ling and the others were not familiar with the route, so they circled around the sea for a month before reaching Liuqiu. After getting ashore, Liuqiu people thought it was a business trip from Han area, and they were quite enthusiastic.
When the Kunlun people who were familiar with the Liuke in the Sui army contacted them, they found that it was the group who came to recruit people to pay tribute before, and immediately refused the condolence again.
So Chen Ling and Zhang Zhenzhou led their troops to attack the barbarians who were dissatisfied with Wang Hua.
Liu Qiu Wang Huansi was quickly defeated. The Sui army conquered the low-facial cave and killed the old model Wang Huansi.
Later, the Sui army took advantage of the victory to attack. Although King Liuqiu fought to the death, he still lost to the Sui army. The Polotan Cave was defeated, and King Liuqiu was also killed.
The Sui army achieved its goal of going to war, killed the kings and big and small, captured Liuqiu Prince Island Mason, and thousands of men and women, and finally burned the royal city and returned to the court to victory.
Chen Ling and his team cross-sea conquest were purely for Yang Guang's face, dispatching more than 10,000 troops, consuming countless money and food, and even causing many soldiers to suffer casualties.
As a result, they left after the battle, and neither stayed to occupy the captured land nor immigrated to settle down.
Economically, this is definitely a big loss.
However, things are not that simple. Liu Qiu's name is "Huansi Hsai Ladou" and Xiao Wang's name is "Huansi Old Model", which actually means the leader of the Indian language, and is not the real name. The translation is probably a certain king of the Chenru Dynasty.
In the second year of Tianjian in Nanliang, Funan sent envoys to pay tribute. Emperor Wu of Liang directly called Funan King "King Chen Rujieye Varmo" in his edict.
The Low-Mutantan where the King Liuqiu lives is a different translation of Viatra, the old capital of the Funan Kingdom, which means the hunter's city. The Palodan where the king lives comes from the Buddhist scripture "The Great Wisdom Treatise", which means crossing the donation river to get the other side.
Therefore, the Sui army conquered the kings and the two cities they captured were not entirely natives of Liuqiu Island. They were more likely to be colonial sites established overseas by the prince of Funan.
This situation was not uncommon at that time. The sea trade between the Nanyang islands was frequent, and some royal families went to other islands to establish states. Some island countries even went to sea to other islands to build countries after their defeat. Many of them even went back to restore their country.
When the Sui army conquered Linyi, the Zhenla Kingdom on the Indochina Peninsula annexed most of the territory of Funan Kingdom. Among the southern people brought back by the Sui army after attacking Linyi, many of them were Zhenla people and Funan people, and later they took them to conquer Liuqiu.
Funan was annexed most of its territory by Zhenla, and its national strength was weak. Some royal families and nobles sailed to other islands, which was also a very common tradition.
The Sui army would later go to conquer Liuqiu, or it might be that the Zhenla people who had contact with the Sui army were trying to provoke it. The Zhenla people used the Sui army's hands to attack the forces outside Funan, so as not to make a comeback in the future.
The Hinduism of Funan Kingdom's colonial stronghold on Liuqiu Island was thus captured and destroyed by the Sui army.
The letter Wu Huaiyu gave to the emperor about Liu Qiu is very long.
From the search for Yizhou in the Eastern Wu of the Three Kingdoms, to the Sui Dynasty crossing the sea to conquer Liuqiu, it was said that Liuqiu was very large, and the indigenous people on the island were very weak, but the land was fertile and the climate was mild, and it was an undeveloped treasure land.
It is only a few hundred miles away from Zhangquanfu, but it is as big as the three states of Zhangquanfu.
Wu Huaiyu proposed to develop this Yizhou Liuqiu, and said that he had mastered the route from Guangzhou to Liuqiu, of course the most important thing,
It was Wu Huaiyu who proposed a deal.
He was willing to lead the army to cross the sea for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Liuqiu, expand territory for the imperial court, conquer Liuqiu's descendants, and establish Liuzhou for the Tang Dynasty.
Wu Huaiyu requested to change the title of Liuzhou.
The request for Jiangzhou has changed from Liuzhou to Liuzhou.
Although Yizhou is large, it is still Zhongzhou overseas, with a population of nearly 20,000. Although it is in the south of the Yangtze River, it is in an important position in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The two important waterways and trade routes of the Yangtze River and Ganjiang River are many times better than those of a large overseas island full of barbarians.
In the emperor's mind, let alone Liu Qiu, who is still in the hands of the barbarians, even Hainan Island, which already has four prefectures in Yadan, is not as good as a former governor of Jiangzhou.
Changsun Wuji said, "Wu Huaiyu has always opposed His Majesty's system of being a governor. I would like to change his throne to Yizhou. I am afraid that those who retreat to advance will oppose it again."
"Your Majesty, if you enthrone Yizhou in the world, it really seems to be harsh on meritorious officials, and it is suspected of being demoted and migrated."
"This Yizhou is more overhanging than Danzhou."
All the veterans felt that Wu Huaiyu must not really want to ask for help, but this was just an opposition to the system of the Supreme Principal.
Qin Qiong sat next to him and didn't speak much, even when talking about his adopted son,
"Shubao, do you also think Huaiyu is complaining, complaining, thinking that my meritorious officials are living in the world, but instead moving?"
Qin Qiong stood up, "Your Majesty, Huaiyu's letter doesn't seem to be complaining, but it seems that he really wants to do something practical for the court.
This Yizhou was unexpectedly bigger than Hainan Island. The imperial court had four prefectures on Hainan Island. Now the Feng Xian tribes are vigorously developing islands.
I think that although Yizhou Island is not as convenient as Hainan Island and the mainland, its potential is also considerable. If it can be taken down, reclaimed, operated, and immigrated to farm, there may be great potential.
