Accompanied by the sound of the wooden boards falling on the deck, a captain shouted loudly: "The general has an order to order us to land and recover Danzhou (Hainan)!"

Accompanied by the "kaka" of iron armor, the soldiers of Wu army got off the boat and landed on the shore. After lined up near the coconut forest on the beach on the coast, Lu Kai pulled out the long sword on his waist with a "clang" sound and said, "Set out!" The waves in the sea were still tirelessly washing the sand.

Bring some crabs, shells and the like to the beach. Even though the sound was a little loud, it still could not cover up Lu Kai's voice and the sound of the iron armor rubbing against each other, making some birds who wanted to rest briefly on this beach and find some food to be deterred. They just kept hovering over this beach, as if they were afraid of these "births" who had just stepped on this land.

Last night, Zhuge Ke called Nie You and Lu Kai, and assigned them five thousand soldiers and horses. He also led five thousand himself and left five thousand soldiers to guard their base camp, which were these fleets.

If the local Li people took this opportunity to sneak into their rear and cut off their retreat when they went to take the counties, that is, they burned the ships, then the man would be thrown away.

We cannot ask the governor of Jiaozhou, who is only separated by a shallow strait, and not only ask for food, grass and materials needed by the subsequent army, but also cut off the army's retreat.

By then, it would not be so easy for them to go back. Swim back? This is in the sea, not in the rivers and streams in Jiangdong. Even if the water quality of Jiangdongerlang is good, it is probably difficult to swim through a strait!

Zhuge Ke personally led 5,000 people to take Zhuya County and Tandu, Daimao County (now Haikou City), Lu Kai led his troops to take Zibei (now Wenchang), Nie You took Gouzhong (now Chengmai), and Zhuge Ke also assigned a task to them for the remaining five thousand people.

That is to transform this beach into a port, where Wu Jun ships can be parked when the wind and waves come, and larger sea ships can be parked like the ports in Jiaozhou. After all, Your Majesty has made up his mind this time.

To be completely incorporated into the rule of this place, just like Jiaozhou before, there will be several ports here, where large ships can be moored and many sea ships can be built using ancient trees in Danzhou.

In this way, the construction of these 5,000 people here would take a lot of manpower and material resources to build a decent port. However, as long as the general and the others recovered a few more counties, they would have more labor (Li prisoners) to help them.

"Li" is his name, which is the name of the Han people for the Li people. Before the Western Han Dynasty, he used "Luo Yue", "Man", "Sui Tang Dynasty" and "Li", "Li" and "Li" to generally call some ethnic minorities in the south, including the ancient ancestors of the Li people on Hainan Island. Later, "Li" was gradually replaced by "Li".

The Li people called the Han people "beautiful", which means "guest". They regarded the Han people as guests, and they regarded themselves as natives.

Due to differences in dialects, customs, regional distribution, etc., there are different self-proclaims such as "Ha" (in the past, it was "Qi"), "Run" (in the past, it was called "local" Li), "Mobil", "Sai" (in the past, it was called "Deto" Li or "Gama" Li), etc., but they generally call themselves "Sai" when they interact with foreign countries, and Sai is its inherent clan name.

Most of the Li people migrated from Baiyue (now Jiaozhou and other places) during the Qin and Han dynasties. The Baiyue people still have these customs, such as hair-breaking tattoos, chicken divination, and nesting habits.

According to the literal meaning, "breaking hair" means cutting hair. The meaning of tattooing is the same as today, which means using paint to thorn or draw patterns on the body. For the Han people, "the body and hair are the parents of their bodies", skin and hair are very precious and cannot be destroyed casually, so "breaking hair and tattooing" is also the biggest difference between the Han people and the Yue people at that time.

There was an explanation in the Book of Han that said that the Yue people lived by the water, and they painted the images of dragons, snakes and other water gods on their bodies, praying to avoid attacks from creatures in the water.

Chicken divination is also known as "chicken bone divination", which is the divination method of the ancient Yue people. "Records of the Grand Historian: The Basic Annals of Emperor Xiaowu" records that Yue witches "sacrifice the gods, God, and hundreds of ghosts, and use chicken divination." The chicken divination method of the Han people is: Chicken divination method uses chicken one dog one, one, and a wish is born. After the wish is finished, kill chicken and dog, and then cook it and sacrifice it. Take the bones of the eyes alone to see the holes on it. It is auspicious, otherwise it will be bad.

The Li people in Danzhou (Hainan) also have "chicken bone divination". After killing the chicken, they extract two femurs from the chicken and inserted them on a small machining branch. Then they insert a small stick into the femur acupoint to determine good or bad luck with the pointing of the small bamboo stick. This is similar to the method of the Baiyue people.

The nesting house refers to a tram-style house, which is an architectural style invented by the Baiyue tribe in ancient times, that is, a house built on the bottom frame of wooden (bamboo) columns above the ground.

This kind of building is made of bamboo and wood as the main building materials, mainly two-story buildings, with animals and piled up debris on the lower floor, people on the upper floor, and dry-straight buildings that can prevent shock.

Neighbors have obvious advantages in avoiding humid and heat environments, staying away from insects and beasts, and using local materials. This living form cleverly uses vertical spatial distance as a boundary, which is a creation for humans in the process of adapting to the environment.

Even if the former Zhuya County County and the county government of the county were taken over to the Han Dynasty when Emperor Wu of Han, there were not many tiled houses in the Tandu County. Only the county governments and other government governments were tiled houses. Other places in the city that were not Han people’s residences were mostly nests like this, and the one-meter-high earthen wall that surrounded the entire county town can prove that this place had traces of Han rule.

After leaving the county town, all the tribes scattered in the rain forest all live in this way, just putting a circle of wooden fences around the tribe.

According to the reliable information obtained by Lu Kai, the Li people in the capitals of various counties in the provinces and counties in the province have only more than a thousand soldiers, and some have only more than a hundred. After all, Danzhou (Hainan) is separated from Jiaozhou by the sea, and it is a paradise far away from the disputes in the Central Plains. There is no need to recruit more soldiers for the time being.

When Zhuge Ke led his army through the rain forest and came to the vicinity of Tandu County, he casually found a place with Kumu, and ordered his left and right to say, "Come here, send some scouts to the outside of the city to check if there are any abnormal movements among the Li people!"

Immediately, several scouts came forward to salute and said, "I promise, I will obey the general's order!"

Half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves sounded around. When the guards on the left and right saw that they were their own people, they put away the weapons in their hands and asked the scout to report that Zhuge Ke was studying the map of Danzhou (Hainan).

The scout stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "General, there are only more than a thousand defenders in Tandu County, and there is no sign of strengthening the guards in the city at this moment."

"Haha, this saved us a lot of effort. Come and prepare some wood, ladders, and the army rested for three hours and then went to Suiwu to take this small pond!" Zhuge Ke stroked his beard and said,
Chapter completed!
