Chapter 762 It is better to open the farm than to hang
"Do you know Yizhou?"
Yang Feng asked Sun Quan with a majestic look on his face.
"When I go back to your Majesty, as far as I know, Yizhou is on the sea two thousand miles southeast of Kuaiji. There is no frost and snow on the ground, and the plants and trees are not dead. The people are like savages, and there are tens of thousands of families."
Sun Quan said.
“Conquer this place!”
Yang Feng said.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be prepared."
Sun Quan said in surprise.
"I'm ready. This is a sea chart. Yizhou is not two thousand miles away. It's a voyage from Kuaiji along the coast. It's only three or four hundred miles from Dongye to the east. This is a new type of shipbuilding map. This is not a paddle boat but a sailboat. Not to mention a few hundred miles of water, it can sail even if it's a few thousand miles. I remember that Dongye happens to be your main shipbuilding place? This is a compass and a telescope. The former can indicate the direction on the sea, and its needles always point to the south, and the latter can be seen far away. There is also a canning method to store food and prevent diseases."
Yang Feng put out and said.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what is in Yizhou?"
Zhang Zhao said carefully.
It seems that the situation is wrong. His Majesty the Emperor is too generous. There is no important thing. How could he think about Yizhou so much? It is definitely not for the purpose of expanding territory. The Han Dynasty now has no shortage of land, and two-thirds of the population have died. The remaining wasteland is everywhere. The reason why they pay attention to Yizhou is just because there are people there. What they are thinking about is pulling people here. In fact, whether they are Liu Bei or even Cao Cao, the most important thing is to attract people. For example, Liu Bei used Ma Chao to desperately pull the Qiang people and Di people, and they tried hard to catch Shanyue. To put it bluntly, after decades of war, everyone has discovered the importance of population, so no matter who they are, as long as they can plow the fields and have children, they can open up wasteland and enrich the territory.
"Gold, there is gold!"
Yang Feng said calmly.
"You think you already know that I have taught Liu Bei a lot of good things in Yizhou, such as gold and copper. I will not favor one or the other. Then they are all ministers of the Han Dynasty. You will also have them. Needless to mention the agricultural technology, the method of making sugar and salt will be taught to you, and there are also gold and copper, so there are copper. Not to mention copper. Jiangnan copper smelting is all in your hands. I will teach you the new method of smelting copper. You must also have this gold. The gold in Yizhou is for you."
He continued.
Sun Quan and his wife looked at each other and quickly thanked them with a smile.
This is a pie falling from the sky!
"But I heard that this Yizhou is a place where miasma is a place. I am afraid that many soldiers will die at that time, especially if the gold mine is opened, it must be stationed for a long time. At that time, the epidemic will be in trouble!"
Zhang Zhao said.
He means you won't give me some solution?
"I have considered this matter for a long time. Here is a manual for epidemic prevention. As long as you do as you do it, the epidemic will be insignificant. In fact, the epidemic mostly comes from drinking water. As long as you don't drink raw water, all drinking water will be boiled, and all foods will be cooked will be mostly avoided!"
Yang Feng said.
Sun Quan and others quickly thanked each other again.
That's all, the sailing strength of the Eastern Wu is still worthy of recognition. Not only did they go to Taiwan, they also went north to Liaodong, and even went south to trade with Southeast Asia. In fact, being able to form a stable connection with Jiaozhi means that they must have traded to Southeast Asia. But this is not enough. They still need to evolve to the level of truly voyages from the ocean, and just take the pioneering of Taiwan for them to practice. For Yang Feng, it is not important for them to explore Taiwan to find some gold. What is important is the new fleet they established in this process and the sailors they cultivated. These are the real and most important things.
This is the real precious wealth.
"Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty gave Yizhou new military ordnance and military training methods?"
Lu Su asked tentatively.
He arrived just now, including Lu Meng, and Jiang Qin returned to Ruxukou. Lu Meng also returned to Changsha, but Lu Su stayed for the time being. Anyway, they and Liu Bei could not continue fighting. Guan Yu's army of 10,000 is still stationed outside Jianye City!
"Give you too!"
Yang Feng said generously.
Isn't it just Modao and the Divine Arm Bow? In fact, the Han crossbow is not much worse than the Divine Arm Bow. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was said that it was based on the Han crossbow machine dug out from the grave to improve the crossbow. Modao and the Killing Horse Sword are also in line with each other. Sun Quan almost played Modao, but he was definitely first-class on playing crossbows. Jianghuai crossbows have always been famous, and they can teach them the bed crossbows. At this time, there were bed crossbows, but they were even worse than the peak state of the Song Dynasty. In short, the three parties must have their own strengths. Cao Cao must have cavalry on the side, and Sun Quan was a crossbow. In the future, Cao Cao's cavalry on the side and Liu Bei's Modao team were mainly developed on land, and Sun Quan's crossbows were also conquered by sea.
By the way, at this time, those small countries in the semi-primitive states on the surrounding sea could withstand the shooting of the Divine Arm Bow?
Speaking of Japan, it’s Yayoi era!
Or in other words, they have not entered the civilization era, and they are still in the era of the emperors they fabricated. Even the Emperor Rendeyu they fabricated has not been buried in the large tomb of Nara. If it is true, it will take more than a hundred years to enter.
By the way, such an enemy still uses the Divine Arm Bow?
Carrying a ring-headed knife is enough to conquer the islands!
And Goryeo also...
Well, there is no Goryeo. At this time, the northern part of the peninsula was the territory of the Han Dynasty, which belonged to Gongsun Kang. The modern Bangzi part of the southern part of the peninsula was the semi-primitive people of the Sanhan Dynasty. However, the modern Changbai Mountain area was the territory of Goguryeo. Gongsun Kang just destroyed the poor Xiaomaru capital, and then after a few years, Wuqiu Jian destroyed the Great Goguryeo that the bands fantasized about was over and over again. The territory to the north was Fuyu and other countries, and the territory to the west was the territory of the Xianbei and other tribes, but in front of the Han Dynasty, they were all ruined.
Needless to say, going south to Yizhou or Taiwan, then going south to Linyi. In fact, Gongcao from Rinan County killed the magistrate of Xianglin County to rebel.
The next one is Funan.
This is the first Southeast Asian country that really appeared in Chinese historical records. Originally, Sun Quan sent people to serve as missions in history, and his territory was much larger than that of modern Cambodia, including southern Vietnam. However, there was no truly unified country in southern Thailand and Myanmar, which was just a messy small tribe. The records at this time were also called countries, such as Dunsun.
But its strength...
Yang Feng didn’t know his strength. After all, there was too little history in this area. What Yang Feng could know was that Funan was the boss of this area.
In short, if we do not consider plague, a fleet of Zheng He can basically sweep across Southeast Asia and sweep to India. At this time, India was being swept by foreign tribes, and there was a melee in East India. West India was the territory of the Kushan Empire, and the Kushan Empire was in its heyday at this time. However, Yang Feng's expansion could not reach their place for at least twenty years. Before entering the gunpowder era, Yang Feng's purpose was only to build a series of colonies in Southeast Asia to ensure the maritime trade line to India. After all, there was no need to conquer there for the time being.
What do you do if you have such a small population and so many places?
Even in an era where there are no corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even rice in the city, the highest record once supported more than 60 million people, and now there is no more than 20 million people. At this time, the most important thing is not to grab territory, but to hurry up and have children.
So the most important thing next is to establish a real medical system.
Especially for the prevention of plague, midwife training, and young children’s nutrition.
Nothing else matters. As long as the country's population exceeds 100 million, then in this era, all opponents can be crushed to death.
But this is a bit difficult.
"It seems that I have to do some more things!"
Yang Feng stood up with a solemn expression and said.
"Go and call Yun Chang, Ji Xing, Zhongkang and others!"
He continued.
Sun Quan quickly ordered him to call him with a confused look on his face. Soon these people gathered together and looked at their Emperor, who were also confused. At this time, their Emperor was dismantling his jade carriage. The carriage made of aluminum alloy was almost dismantled, and turned into a pile of silver metal of different shapes. There was also a carriage next to it waiting to be dismantled.
His Majesty the Emperor ignored them and continued to work there.
Soon, he dismantled both carriages, and then began to change the shape of these metals and reconnect them. In the attention of these guys representing all parties, a silver bird was completed like this, and it could not be said to be a bird. In fact, it was two very long wings, and there was a cylinder with both openings on the front and back, but the two wings were really long, and they combined more than five feet. There were wheels under the two wings and on the cylinder.
"After this matter, you will return to Xuande and Duke Wei. I want to go overseas to obtain immortal seeds for the people. This immortal seed can never be hungry in the world. It will take several months to travel back and forth. During this period, you will be cautious in the border. If you dare to raise troops, I will never forgive you when you return. In addition, I have a set of medical books in Zhaoyi. You will copy one copy of each. This medical secretary has a way to prevent various plagues, including water gu in the south of the Yangtze River. I have ordered Zhang Zhongjing to come here, and Zhaoyi's book was given to him. In the future, he will inspect various prefectures and counties on my behalf. Regardless of the local herds and commanders, he will take him as the main commander for epidemic prevention."
His Majesty the Emperor said as he looked at his work.
"Your Majesty, where is this overseas place?"
Sun Quan said carefully.
"This overseas place is called Jinzhou. It is 20,000 miles away from the eastern sea. There are three immortal species such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. If you get one, you will never have hunger in the world. There are also immortal species such as peppers and cotton. I will go here to see if I can get them together."
Yang Feng said.
Well, he decided to cheat on this era. Since he couldn't get it from modern times and couldn't wait to spend more than ten years developing the Pacific route, so just take a trip in person!
Just fly over!
Chapter completed!
