The cold in winter is not too harsh on the southern border of Daqian.
In the island land, the weather is still a little hot.
Daoyi is the name given to the Penghu Islands in this era.
Originally, there were many fishermen living in Daqian on the Penghu Islands.
After the natural disaster, a group of Japanese pirates came from the north. They killed all the fishermen on the island and took the Penghu Islands as their own.
Moreover, water fortresses and early warning towers were established on several important islands in the Penghu Islands.
Over the past few years, the Penghu Islands have been turned into a water village for Japanese pirates.
To the east of Penghu, Taiwan faces the treasure island across the sea.
At this time, Taiwan was called Liuqiu, and the main people living on the island were mainly local ethnic minorities.
The main ethnic groups include Atayal, Saisiyat, Bunun and other more than a dozen ethnic minorities.
The total population of these ethnic groups exceeds half a million.
These ethnic groups are distributed throughout Liuqiu.
Only the western coastal area is home to about 200,000 Dagan people.
Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, refugees have been seeking migration to Liu.
At the end of the previous dynasty, wars caused a large number of people in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to flee to the sea.
The Dagan people who arrived in Liuqiu were mainly concentrated in this period.
After the Great Qian Dynasty, the government sent people to Liuqiu to recall the people, but these people were already settling down in Liuqiu, and few returned to their homeland.
During the natural disaster, Liuqiu also suffered considerable losses, and about 70% of the islanders are still alive.
Starting from the year before last, Japanese pirates occupied the Daoyi Islands, and the masses were asked to organize armed forces to drive away the Japanese pirates.
It’s just that the Japanese pirates are cruel.
The people in Liuqiu returned miserably.
From then on, Liuqiu Xihai became the territory of Japanese pirates.
Liuqiu had to pay taxes to the Japanese pirates when he went out to sea to fish.
In autumn this year, Song Jing, the third king of the Southern Sea and the third son of the Song Dynasty, returns from his western expedition.
Most of Lingnan Road is embraced by Daqian.
Winter is about to enter, and the mountainous climate is not suitable for the South China Sea Renaissance Army's operations.
Song Jing then withdrew his troops to defend the city.
At the same time, he focused on Japanese pirates.
Song Yang asked him to find the lair of Xiaoquanjia, a Japanese pirate force.
Song Jing searched for poop in the coastal area but found nothing.
However, coastal areas are still infested by Japanese pirates from the sea.
After the autumn harvest, the coastal patrol team rescued a fisherman on the beach.
This fisherman is a Han Chinese in Liuqiu, and his ancestors moved to Liuqiu to make a living.
He was a fisherman, and he was caught in a storm when he went fishing and was swept to Chaoyang Beach.
Only then did Song Jing remember that there was Liuqiu not far from the sea.
In fact, it’s no wonder that Song Jing’s relationship with Liuqiu and Daqian basically stopped in the early years of the Kingdom.
After decades, there was no news.
If Song Jing were not from the royal family, he would know a lot of information.
Ordinary people may not know that a place like Liuqiu exists.
Song Jing suspected that the Japanese pirates' lair was in Liuqiu, so he asked the fisherman if he had seen any Japanese in Liuqiu.
As a result, this question actually directly revealed the matter of Japanese pirates stationed in Daoyi Islands.
"Do you know the chart of the Nadaoyi Islands?"
"I don't know. There used to be some fishermen on the island, but they were all killed. Over the years, they have taken the island area as their own and will not let us enter."
I couldn't ask for details about Daoyi, but at least I knew Daoyi's location.
Although this fisherman did not know the detailed map of the Daoyi Islands, he agreed to take Song Jing's fleet to the waters outside the Daoyi Islands.
Song Jing thought about it and decided to send someone to explore the way first.
So we arranged for a boat to take the fishermen to the island to investigate.
Two speedboats went to explore the road, but they veered off course and ended up directly at Liuqiu.
As a last resort, we set off from Liuqiu and headed to Daoyi.
The Japanese pirates on the island were very vigilant. When they noticed a ship approaching, they immediately triggered the guard ship.
At the same time, warships were dispatched to pursue Song Jing's two ships.
In the end, the two ships determined the location of Daoyi and withdrew back to the South China Sea.
Without detailed sea charts, Song Jing did not dare to go to sea to fight rashly.
It is said that the hydrological conditions of the Daoyi Islands are complicated, and if you go there rashly, you are likely to lose the battle.
For safety reasons, Song Jing sorted out the news and sent it to Jiangzhou to let Song Yang make up his mind.
It was already mid-November when the messenger set off from Nanhai City.
By the time he arrived in Jiangzhou, he was already Niangen, and Song Yang had already gone north to Kaifeng.
The messenger came from the far south. It was freezing on the road, so he could only hand the letter to Fang Zhe and ask Fang Zhe to convey it on his behalf.
Fang Zhe knew that Song Yang attached great importance to the Japanese pirates.
Immediately send someone to deliver the news to Kaifeng.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Song Yang was studying the combat deployment after the beginning of spring, and the messenger sent by Fang Zhe arrived.
"Your Majesty! The Japanese pirate Xiaoquan's lair has been found!"
The messenger's words put Song Yang in a beautiful mood.
At this time, annihilating the Japanese pirates made him happier than wiping out the remnants of Luo Xin.
"Where is their lair?" Song Yang was also curious about where these Japanese pirates were hiding.
The coastal areas were almost searched, but the puppy's home nest was still not found.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the King of Nanhai. I heard that the place is called Daoyi." The messenger handed over the letter and said.
Song Yang was stunned, what kind of place was Daoyi? I had never heard of it.
He only knows that Taiwan is called Liuqiu, but he really doesn’t know what Penghu is called in this era.
I was so busy that I opened Song Jing's letter and read it.
The letter also said that the little dog's family's base camp was found, which is on the Daoyi Islands.
However, the hydrology of the Daoyi Islands is complex, and there is no certainty that the Japanese pirates will be cleared.
So Song Jing wanted to ask Song Yang for advice.
"Where is this... Daoyi?" Song Yang looked at Yu Ming and Cui Qiang.
Both of them shook their heads.
They are all members of the army. They have at most been to the frontier fortress, so they know things about the seaside.
"Your Majesty, maybe the old master can know?" Yu Ming mentioned Gao Liangping.
Gao Liangping and Liu Huairen paid New Year's greetings to Song Yang and then returned to Kaifeng. They were not in Liyang at the moment.
Song Yang thought about it, maybe the old teacher really knew, so he immediately stood up and said: "Let's go back to Kaifeng and ask the old teacher for confirmation."
As soon as he left, Song Yang immediately took the messenger out of Liyang and headed straight for Kaifeng.
It was already midnight when we arrived in Kaifeng. When the city defenders saw Song Yang coming back, they thought something had happened on the front line.
Song Yang didn't let anyone publicize it, and waited until the next day to notify the old master.
Hearing that Song Yang came back in the middle of the night yesterday, the old master thought something serious had happened and came to see him in a hurry.
"Old Master, do you know where Daoyi is?"
As soon as Gao Liangping arrived, Song Yang asked directly.
The old teacher was stunned.
You came all the way back all night just to ask me where Daoyi is?
The old master was confused when he was asked: "Is the island located in the sea?"
Song Yang: There's nothing wrong with you, old man!
"No. I want to ask where the island barbarians are." Song Yang changed his question.
The old master shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I haven't been there either."
Song Yang collapsed, and the old teacher didn’t know about Dao Yi?
"Why did the prince think of asking about this place?"
"Third uncle discovered that the Japanese pirate Xiaoquan's family's lair is in Daoyi, so I wanted to ask where Daoyi is. Old master, how did you know about Daoyi?"
The old master said with memories: "This is the matter. When Liu asked for tribute, a chief gave a coral to the late emperor Daoyi. The late emperor gave the coral to the old minister. It turns out that the coral was very beautiful.
"
After the old master finished speaking, Song Yang immediately grasped the key point: "Old master, you just said Liuqiu? Was it the Ryukyu Islands? Or Yizhou?"
