There are still some Lingnan naval forces in Haitu. Xiao Cangsheng helped Yun Ye buy some from Hu merchants. Of course, those Hu merchants have since disappeared on the vast sea. In the past few years, the land of Lingnan has been destroyed by Li Anlan.
After the renovation, many things Yun Ye needed were gradually sorted out.
In particular, Mr. Jin Zhu from the Academy stayed in Lingnan for two years and gradually sorted out the development history of Lingnan into a clear context. Especially Mr. Jin Zhu's arrangement of the history of Lingnan's shipping made Yun Ye even more delighted.
After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it began to pacify the Baiyue Land in the Lingnan region. Qin Shihuang sent Tu Sui as the chief general and Zhao Tuo as the deputy general to lead an army of 500,000 to pacify Lingnan. Tu Sui was killed because he killed innocent people indiscriminately and aroused the stubborn resistance of the Yue people.
was killed. Qin Shihuang re-appointed Ren Xiao as general and together with Zhao Tuo led the army to march south. After four years of hard work, they completed the great cause of pacifying Lingnan.
The Qin Dynasty established three counties in the south of Lingnan: Nanhai County, Guilin County, and Xiangjun County, and gradually developed a prosperous Lingnan economic circle with Nanhai County as the center. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, wars continued in the north, and the Lingnan area was ruled by Zhao Tuo, which was known as Southern Guangdong in history.
The country was a rare peaceful region at that time.
After Liu Bang replaced the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty negotiated peace with the Southern Guangdong State in order to implement the policy of recuperation and recuperation, and the two countries were able to develop economy and trade. After Liu Bang's death, the regent Empress Lu had a conflict with the Southern Guangdong State. The two sides fought fiercely in Nanling, and the war ended in a stalemate. At that time, the Lingnan region was mainly
Producing silk textiles, Zhao Tuo began to seek sea routes to Western countries for trade in search of important iron resources for military supplies, reaching as far as Athens.
Mr. Jinzhu found silver vessels in some villages that were obviously not in the style of the Tang Dynasty. These were sacrifices. Through drawings, Hypatia recognized that these things belonged to the city-state of Athens and the ruins of the Nanyue Palace in the jungle.
Above, there are clearly stone pillars made by the Athenians.
After the naval generals combined with the maritime merchants to finalize the chart, the ship set sail from Guangzhou and passed through Dadao, Huan Kingdom, Mendu Kingdom, Guda Kingdom, Dragon Yamen, Luoyue Kingdom, Srivijaya, and Heling Kingdom.
country, and finally reached the savage country, that is to say, we have reached black Africa. This is really surprising.
When Mr. Jin Zhu's research was put in front of Yun Ye, he couldn't believe that the patterns painted on the rock walls by the Lingnan people could actually prove that they could sail across the ocean in canoes in an era before writing existed.
As we all know, the Maritime Silk Road was opened because the Great Eaters cut off the roads on the road, so we had no choice but to try to take the sea route. Now we finally have a very clear route. With the help of trade winds and ocean currents, we can board a big ship.
You can reach distant Africa. Yun Ye's desire to understand the world is sometimes even higher than transforming the Tang Dynasty.
But a large family was holding him back. When he learned that his three big ships had been built, he couldn't suppress his restless heart, even if he couldn't go that far. He went to take a look around.
It's also a good choice, so that's why the Yun family took this big action.
The chart on the wall is so simple, with no longitude or latitude lines, only inexplicable patterns. A coconut means there is water, a stick means there are natives there, and some messy lines mean there are people there.
Turbulent currents rely on these extremely simple ancestors to wander around in the ocean, which makes Yun Ye admire them very much.
The noisy sounds in the yard started again. Needless to say, Xin Yue came back with her shopping army. Before they came back, many merchants sent countless goods. These were all they had today.
The results of the purchase, but one thing I don’t understand is that Hypatia is not his wife and concubine. Why does she need to pay for the things she buys?
Yun Ye put away the nautical charts hanging on the wall and waited for Daming Temple to send their charts for comparison. He also made a supplement. These things need to be sent to Yongzhou to find specialized personnel from the navy to do them.

"Brother, eldest brother. My sister-in-law bought eleven flower-haired maids today, can you give one to me?" As soon as Xiaoya came back, she dragged her brother to act coquettishly. She liked that little Hu Ji very much, and asked her sister-in-law for one on the way.
However, she was scolded and told that those orchids were human beings, not cats and dogs, and they could give you any one to play with, but they didn’t give it to you and they just stayed at home to work. Seeing that it didn’t work at her sister-in-law’s place, Xiaoya ran to
My brother is banging the wooden clock here.
"Why doesn't your sister-in-law give it to you? Your sister-in-law is in charge of these things. Go out and play as you are told, and your brother has something to do." Yun Ye was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Xiaoya. He was collecting charts in Yangzhou these days, which was his business.
Seeing that her brother was busy, Xiaoya wanted to pester him again. When she found Xin Yue walking in from outside, she had to walk away in despair. If her sister-in-law saw that she was pestering her brother again, her money would be much less.
"Husband, you are in charge of that sunset. Everyone's heart has been turned to stone. When you see people selling people at the auction house and women stripping naked, you are actually indifferent. Tell me, is it because of Hypatia?
Bad teaching?" Xin Yue complained to her husband while admiring the silk and satin brought by the maid.
"Well, it is indeed excessive. Those things are very common in the West. They are all savages. It is not strange to do anything. Here is the most basic etiquette in the Tang Dynasty. We still have to talk about it. Otherwise, everyone will be like an animal. The Great Tang
Tang Ye is ruined. Now that you have seen it, with your bodhisattva heart, you must have bought all those women. Just now, Xiaoya was pestering me for one to play with. She said she liked her gold-like hair." Yun said.
Ye simply sat down. Since Xin Yue wanted to talk, she might as well have a good talk.
"That's not possible, husband. It's not that I don't want to give it to Xiaoya, but I'm afraid that the child will be insignificant. This is a human being, not a plaything. You also know her carefree temperament. If she kills someone, what do you mean, concubine?
Should she be punished physically?"
"What you said is too much. Xiaoya has been a kind-hearted child since she was a child. She was sad for half a year after Hanhan died. She has never had a pet since then. She didn't like the civet cats I gave her. Since she
If you like it, just share it with her and serve her, and tell her clearly not to abuse others."
"Yes, sir, you are right no matter what. Once the housekeeper has trained these women, he will send one to my aunt. By the way, husband, I was a little unreasonable today and snatched away the female slave I bought.
Sorry." Xin Yue confessed to Yun Ye very embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. You are doing good deeds. If you rob, you will rob. If you rob a few slave girls, no one should have any objections. Huh? You were always so proud when you did this kind of thing in the past. Why are you suing today?
Okay, could it be said that he was cruel? "These little tricks of the old couple cannot be hidden from Yun Ye.
"No one was dead. When I asked Old Zhao to take the people back, many people jumped out. If our bodyguards hadn't been so powerful, they would have suffered a loss. Dong Ping and the others were just good at shooting them with crossbows, and they were all crippled." Xin Yue
He secretly looked at Yun Ye's face and said carefully.
"It's good that no one died. Since you were the one who was rude first, let Lao Zhao take my post to someone and apologize tomorrow. This matter should be settled. There will be many maritime merchants coming to visit tomorrow. You can make arrangements for Lao Zhao."
It'll take a while." Yun Ye stopped talking when he saw the food being served. He was really hungry after a busy day today.
Halfway through the meal, Lao Zhao said that someone had come to plead guilty, and they were carrying a large group of people with injured legs, the same people who had been shot by the guards. It was dark outside and it was hard to see clearly whether they were coming to plead guilty or to demonstrate.
Seeking justice.
Yun Ye smiled because he actually saw Xin Yue pouting, and he had not seen such a childlike expression for a long time. He licked her lips with his fingers, turned around and stood under the hall to see what was going on.
Two rows of guards stood in the yard holding horizontal knives. The servants hung up lanterns in the yard and then retreated. As soon as the gate opened, someone outside signed up to enter.
"Qiu Ningte, the owner of Tianfu, came to the house to plead guilty and pray for the Lord Hou's punishment." A majestic man with a curly beard strode in from outside with his upper body bare, walked to the middle of the yard, knelt down on one knee, and begged for punishment again.
"My subordinate is ignorant and bumped into my wife. I asked the Marquis to punish me." Yun Ye walked around this guy. It was interesting. He carried a thorn tree full of barbs on his back with tangled muscles.
The legs of the seven or eight men who were carried in were all exposed and swollen. It seemed that the doctor had already treated them and the medicine had been washed away. This was a strange way to express apology.
"Dongying School Captain Qiu Hu is here to greet the commander!" Hearing this voice, Yun Ye saw another person standing next to him. His subordinate Qiu Hu, who used to be the leader of the team, was a school captain who had won the battles of Korea and Dongting.
This guy is considered a pretty good soldier, and he can win a lot without losing his life in battles. I didn't expect that this guy actually has a relative who is a maritime merchant.
"Qiu Hu? Well, it's rare that you still remember your handsome man. I thought you had eyes and buttocks after you were promoted. Why, why are you here to seek justice for your relatives?"
Yun Ye's two sentences were heart-breaking. The sweat on Qiu Hu's face gathered on his chin. He didn't know what to say, so he could only kowtow continuously.
"You bastard, you only have so much courage. You thought you could become more courageous by following me. If I come to you to question you, I will give you a thumbs up. The Lingnan Navy doesn't have any head-kowtow bugs."
"Commander, forgive me. It's all the fault of my humble position. My younger brother Qiu Ning has never seen a big scene and acted wantonly. Please forgive him for his diligence in killing enemies in his humble position." Qiu Ning was lying on the ground.
Ning never thought that his subordinates had a fight with others and lost, so why did he listen to his elder brother and die? (To be continued...)
