Chapter 1302 South of the South (Additional update for the charming and mature young uncle Xiong Diting)
The so-called Jiuzhen and Rinan naturally refer to Jiuzhen County and Rinan County in Jiaozhou.
That is the coastal area south of Hanoi, Vietnam in later generations.
To the east is Beibu Gulf, and on the edge of Beibu Gulf is Hainan Island.
That is to say, Sun Quan sent people out, and the destination of this trip was Zhu Mingzhou.
In the early years, Shi Xie's son Shi Hui raised troops to rebel against Wu, and was finally put down by Lu Dai.
After Lu Daiping established Jiaozhou, he served as the governor of Jiaozhou. During this period, he sent officials many times to "promote the nationalization of the south" and sent envoys to "the great southwest continent" (Nanyang Islands) and many countries in today's Southeast Asia.
As a result, Funan, Linyi, Tangming and other countries sent envoys to pay tribute to Wu.
The sea routes used by these small countries to pay tribute sometimes passed through the vicinity of Zhuzhou.
Therefore, when he learned that Sun Shiwan had sent troops to attack Zhu Mingzhou, Feng immediately thought of Hua Xiaowu—the cavalry under his command who often crossed Ailao Mountain to go to Funan and Linyi to make money.
After so many years, Hua Xiaowu's cavalry team has long taken a mature route from Nanzhong to the south via Ailao Mountain.
As soon as Feng Da Sima's words came out, Hua Xiaowu's eyes immediately flashed with vigilance:
"What do you want to do? That's what I left for my son!"
To the people of the Central Plains, the other side of Ailao Mountain may be a place where beasts and insects are infested, and miasma is everywhere.
But for the people of Nanzhong who are accustomed to living in a hot and miasmatic land, it is a treasure house with countless treasures hidden there.
It may not be possible to say that it is inexhaustible for generations to enjoy.
After all, it was agreed at the beginning that the imperial court would issue policies, Xinghan would provide money and supplies, and the cavalry would provide men.
As long as it is a newly explored place, he will have thirty-year trading privileges, and Xinghan will have the first right to acquire the products there.
But in thirty years, if you work hard, you can make a fortune for several lifetimes.
Regardless of the cavalry teams that go there every year, many people die.
But every time a cavalry team is organized, who is not rushing to go?
Hua Xiaowu naturally regards them all as her private plot - according to the agreement, it is indeed her private plot now.
Now when Feng opened his mouth, Hua Xiaowu subconsciously wanted to protect his food.
This man really didn't have any good intentions and actually wanted to steal his son's things!
Feng Da Sima clicked his tongue and scolded angrily:
"what are you thinking about!"
He knocked on the table and urged:
"Hurry up, I have something to arrange for you to do."
Don't look at Hua Xiaowu's cavalry, in the eyes of Xinghan Hui, it is not a big deal at all.
But Nanzhong has been developed for so many years. Even if they have been growing sugar cane, the Yi people in Nanzhong have begun to accept Chinese culture.
Because he is giving money to the Han people to grow sugar cane!
Accepting Chinese culture means accepting small money!
As long as the money is in place, I will not only accept Chineseization, I will also take the initiative to integrate into the Han culture!
Otherwise, when Feng said that Hua Xiaowu would be given a place in the school, why would Hua Xiaowu close her eyes and grit her teeth and prepare to sacrifice herself?
Because the Han Dynasty is the most dazzling beacon in the world, accepting Chinese culture and integrating into the Han Dynasty is the right way for the surrounding barbarians to continue to progress!
Perhaps in the eyes of the Han people, they still cannot get rid of their status as barbarians.
But if you take the weapons that the Han army eliminated in the early years, wear Han clothes, and carry Han things, and run to the other side of Ailao Mountain, you are directly the Master Tianlong!
In addition, Hua Xiaowu was cheated so many times in his early years, and he and Feng Gui Wang have been on the same bed these years, and even the children are almost good at making soy sauce.
To say that she has learned nothing would be to underestimate the intelligence of the barbarian girl.
Will the cavalry teams going to the smallest countries remain simple and honest, and exchange trade with others fairly and justly?
King Feng Gui didn’t believe it!
Forced by King Feng Gui's lewd power, Hua Xiaowu could only say in a hushed voice no matter how unwilling he was.
"There are a few of them. Those tribes in the south are very barbaric!"
"I don't want to talk to my people, so I don't find some obedient locals to communicate with them. Some good things they don't want to hand over at all..."
Feng Guiwang glanced sideways at Hua Xiaowu:
You say you are a barbarian and rude every day, but now you have the nerve to call others barbaric?
Besides, I don’t care what your people are doing over there, why do you explain so much?
As long as your people are good citizens in the Han Dynasty, it will be fine.
It's not the land of Han people now. I don't care where your people went. Did they fall in love with someone else's mother or their daughter-in-law?
You are barbarians anyway, and it is normal to be disrespectful.
Of course, there must be a reason for Feng to think so.
Because the Han envoys of the Han Dynasty before the Han Dynasty did this kind of thing when they were envoys to other countries.
The Queen Mother of Nanyue during the Pre-Han Dynasty had a relationship with a handsome boy named Anguo Shaoji before marrying the King of Nanyue.
It was precisely because of this relationship that Emperor Xiaowu later asked the Queen Mother of South Vietnam's first love to go to South Vietnam as an envoy to discuss the issue of peaceful reunification.
Sure enough, when the Queen Mother of South Vietnam saw her old lover, she immediately rekindled her old love, so she was put to sleep by the Han envoy.
After being put to bed, the Queen Mother of Nanyue not only agreed to the annexation of Nanyue to the Han Dynasty, but also immediately prepared her luggage and planned to choose a day to go north to Beijing with her son, the King of Nanyue.
Who would have expected that the Prime Minister of South Vietnam would insist on interfering with the situation, going against the trend of history, and disagreed with this matter.
In the end, they even raised troops to rebel and killed the Queen Mother of Nanyue, the King of Nanyue and the Han envoys.
Now, it’s okay, there’s still peace, let’s send out troops!
In the end, Nanyue was destroyed, the prime minister of Nanyue was beheaded, and his descendants' clans were moved to Shu.
In order to warn the surrounding small countries, Emperor Xiaowu specially set aside a place to keep them captive:
"Buwei County (today's Baoshan County, Yunnan Province) was established to show the evil deeds of our ancestors."
Of course, Feng thought of this because he felt:
One day, the steam engine that Amei built will start to play its real role. Ji Han has to learn from the prehistoric and take a shot at the Indo-China Peninsula, right?
But now, I don’t have the ability, so naturally I can only borrow Hua Xiaowu’s spokesperson first.
"You can ask your people to send something over there for me later, and then find a way to ask one of their chiefs to pay tribute to Sun Quan."
Hua Xiaowu, who had been working on his own strategy for a long time, couldn't help but let out an unexpected "Ah" when he heard this request.
Seeing that Feng Da Sima didn't give any other instructions, she couldn't help but ask again:
"That's it? Gone?"
"Can you do it without being discovered by Sun Quan?"
Hua Xiaowu was sure that Mr. Feng didn't want to touch her little treasury, so she felt relieved, and then her body, which had been sitting upright, twisted a few times.
After thinking for a moment, he answered:
"If you are careful, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Nanzhong, which already had a local school, was indeed qualified to call the barbarians further south barbarians.
Even compared to Jiuzhen and Rinan, who were brought under the rule of the Han Dynasty, today's Nanzhong cannot be said to be more civilized than them.
There are also many tribes hiding in the mountains and forests in Jiuzhen and Rinan, which are not much different from Nanzhong before the Prime Minister's southern expedition.
As for places other than Jiuzhen and Rinan, let alone that.
It may be common for a tribe with a few hundred people to be crowned as a monkey and openly proclaim the country.
Otherwise, why could Lu Dai find so many small countries to pay tribute?
Some small countries may not even know where they came from.
However, Sun Quan thought that this was the coming of all nations to the court, and he was very happy!
"Actually, I have a suggestion."
After learning that her little treasury was worry-free and understanding what A Lang wanted to do, Hua Xiaowu's attitude suddenly became positive:
"The tribes over there are much more chaotic than those in Nanzhong. I heard that a commander of a small tribe made himself a king and went to pay tribute to Sun Quan."
"Sun Quan didn't even ask where his tribe was, so he rewarded him with a lot of things and let him come back."
Hua Xiaowu said excitedly:
"Later, when my people investigated the area near that tribe, they heard that their clan leader had paid tribute to the Central Plains, so I thought about whether I could ask him to help as an interpreter."
"When we arrived at that tribe's territory, we discovered that they were wild monkeys who didn't even know how to plant, and could only pick fruits from the trees to eat..."
"Wild monkey?"
Feng Dasima glanced at Hua Xiaowu. If he hadn't often heard her bragging to the children, he would have liked to call the people over there wild monkeys and had bad habits.
He really thought she was talking about real wild monkeys.
"Only hanging leaves and animal skins," Hua Xiaowu gestured and said confidently, "You don't even have any serious clothes. What is it if it's not a wild monkey?"
Feng Da Sima asked: "What then?"
"Then?" Hua Xiaowu was stunned and said nothing.
Feng Dasima narrowed his eyes.
Hua Xiaowu lowered his head, clasped his fingers, and whispered:
"Those wild monkeys were very savage. When they saw my people, they screamed and wanted to kill them, so my people had no choice but to resist..."
Feng Dasima almost laughed out of anger.
Your people are armed with standard military weapons and are forced to fight against a group of wild monkeys?
Fortunately, the journey is far away and there is no way to send it back. Otherwise, the sugar cane plantation in Nanzhong will probably need an extra batch of laborers.
Feng Da Sima looked thoughtful.
Of course I'm not thinking about the outcome of that tribe of wild monkeys.
A tribe of wild monkeys further south than Nanzhong cannot make even the slightest waves in the heart of the chairman of the world's largest labor company.
"You mean, I can have someone pretend to be a member of that tribe, go to pay tribute again, and take the opportunity to send things up?"
Feng Da Sima's eyes lit up and he looked at Hua Xiaowu with admiration: "What a wonderful idea!"
Unexpectedly, a barbarian girl's brain might one day work well.
Oh, I said it wrong.
Barbarian girls have always had a good mind.
After all, Amei’s mother is also a barbarian.
Hua Xiaowu next to him was dumbfounded for a moment, and made a few more noises.
Feng Dashima was a little confused: "Any more questions?"
"Isn't it too simple?" Hua Xiaowu said unwillingly, "Shouldn't Alang make more preparations?"
"How much more preparations should I make?"
Feng Da Sima glanced at Hua Xiaowu strangely.
Weird!
Why is this little girl so smart today?
My heart was so gurgling, but my mouth said:
"Of course we should make more preparations. There will definitely not be only one tribe that goes to pay tribute..."
"That's right!" Hua Xiaowu immediately became excited again, raised his hand and said, "I know there are several other tribes, it's very suitable!"
Hua Xiaowu's somewhat abnormal attitude finally caught the attention of King Feng Gui.
In other words, Feng Ghost King may naturally have a passive suppression aura against the barbarians.
"Would you like me to send some people over to help you?"
"want!"
Hua Xiaowu spoke quickly for a moment, and then saw the playful look in King Feng Gui's eyes:
"Are those tribes very unfriendly to your people?"
Baby, do you want to play tricks in front of me?
From south to north, from Yi people to Di people, to Qiang people, to Xianbei people, to Huns, and even Dingling people...
The tribes and tribes I have dealt with range from a thousand to hundreds.
How many vendettas were there between the various tribes of the Hu people and the Yi people? There were countless people who wanted to use the help of King Feng Gui or the Xing Hanhui to get rid of their enemies.
If King Feng Gui can't even see through this, what's the point of foresight?
Unexpectedly, after Hua Xiaowu was seen through by Feng Guiwang, his face only warmed up slightly, he puffed up his chest and said confidently:
"There are people behind them supporting them. If you don't help me, who will I help? After all, it's your son's property over there!"
Anyway, I have been manipulated by King Feng Gui for so many years. If he sees through it one more time, it is not a big deal.
"Is it the Wu people?" Feng Dasima finally had a slight surprise, "Your people are having fun over there, and they have all gone to the Wu people's sphere of influence?"
The most civilized places in Indochina are Jiuzhen County and Rinan County.
But these two places are within the sphere of influence of Wu State.
Hua Xiaowu's people actually took on the tribes supported by the Wu people, which shows that at least they are already on the periphery of the Wu people's sphere of influence.
After being exposed by Ghost King Feng, Hua Xiaowu finally felt guilty, his eyes flickered, and he did not dare to look at Feng.
"It doesn't count as a conflict with the Wu people. It's just that a few of their tribes are not willing to trade with my people because of their connections with the Wu people. They are always blocking it."
At this point, Hua Xiaowu raised her voice, "I'm so angry, I can't swallow this breath!"
Over the years, Hua Xiaowu has used Feng Guiwang's ghost skin to run rampant in the south, and even the Xinghan Society has given her some bad treatment.
She is used to going smoothly, but a few barbarian tribes dare not give her face. How can she swallow this sigh of relief?
Now that King Feng Gui has taken the initiative to bring up the matter in the south, why shouldn't she take the opportunity to add some private goods?
When King Feng Gui saw her like this, he couldn't help laughing and said casually:
"How angry are you? If you can't swallow it, don't. Just let them breathe."
When Hua Xiaowu heard this, his eyes lit up and he came over:
"Alang agreed?"
"Since we are going to do things there, it would not be a bad idea to test the attitude of the Wu people there."
As the power of the Hua Xiao Wu Cavalry continues to expand in the south, sooner or later, it will collide with the local forces pro-Wu people.
What the Wu people's attitude is towards this is indeed a matter worth exploring.
"Alang is so nice!"
Hua Xiaowu yelled, rushed over, sat in Feng Da Sima's arms, hugged his neck, and nibbled randomly a few times.
It is almost late autumn, the weather is indeed cool, but the weather in autumn is relatively dry.
Dry weather makes it easy to get angry...
Autumn, it seems like something worthy of careful discussion?
Hua Xiaowu's soft moans reached his ears, and Feng Dasima finally realized, Hey, what is my hand holding?
"Ahem!"
There was a cough at the door:
"What are you doing? It's daytime!"
"You don't even close the door. Aren't you afraid that the children will see you?"
General Guan Da walked in the door and when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately glanced at his wife.
Sitting in the arms of another man in front of me?
What about women’s ways?
What about decency?
And me?
PS:
The prerequisite for sealing of steam engines is the sealing of artillery shells; rubber needs to be vulcanized, and the prerequisite is to refine sulfur.
In fact, these idiots have been working on the foundation for decades.
Coke is made in Nanxiang, sulfur is made in Liangzhou, and Jiuding is cast in Pingcheng. These are all the preparations.
The rubber is not made for the sealing of the steam engine, but for supporting the steam engine.
These industrial and chemical things are briefly mentioned in the book, or even mentioned in passing, rather than explained in detail.
After all, it is a historical novel, not a chemical manual.
It would be good for everyone to take a look at some of these things, because the author is not a chemical major.
Sometimes I want to write down the process in detail, but when I look up the information, my scalp goes numb.
Finally, I would like to thank readers xhx_cat and others for their comments. I did miss some points.
