The first thousand two hundred and sixty-three chapters pioneering the era (3)

The fleet stayed in Funan for a month. It was mainly in Funan and encountered several merchants from Duyuan (now Sumatra).

Merchants told Xin Qingji an important information at this time of year, the wind and waves on the sea will be very surging. It takes a month to wait for the wind and waves to slowly calm down in autumn, and it is possible to cross the ocean and arrive at the Huangzhi Kingdom (now Jinna, Bay of Bengal).

So, Xin Qingji simply stayed in Funan for an additional month.

By the way, he helped Zhennan Port, wiped out several nearby barbarians who often raided the port, and sent troops to escort the King of Funan to return to his capital to restore order.

This made Funan cry out in gratitude.

Immediately sent an envoy to Chang'an with gold and ivory, and embarked on the road to pilgrimage to Chang'an.

And during this month, Xin Qingji and Du Yue became familiar with each other.

This is mainly because Xin Qingji heard about Du Yue’s study at the Imperial Academy, so he was willing to make friends with him.

It’s too student, although it’s not as precious as before.

But it was also the ruling class of the Han Empire and the backbone of future officials.

Although the Xin family in Longyou is extremely rich now, they cannot help but plan for the future.

Especially in recent years, Xin Wuling has been in poor health. He is just in the name of General Beihai Tower Ship and Governor of Beihai. In fact, he is recuperating in Chang'an. The actual power of Beihai Governor's Office and Beihai Tower Ship has fallen into the hands of Gong Yu, the Beihai Tower Ship and the Governor's Office, sent by the Prime Minister.

Fortunately, this Gong Tongshi has a close relationship with the Xin family.

The year before yesterday, Gong Yu was widowed, so Xin took his daughter as his wife.

Xin not only married his daughter to Gong Yu. Over the years, almost all the daughters of Xin from Longyou have married young people who passed the examination and then performed well in their careers.

Xin Qingji's sisters who were married all married to young officials like county magistrates and county magistrates.

Du Yue didn't know these things, so he was naturally flattered and did all his compliments and flattery.

But I didn't know that this would make Xin Qingji look down on him.

Fortunately, during his time in Funan, Du Yue showed outstanding language, communication and communication skills.

For example, he contacted and communicated clearly with Duyuan merchants.

Therefore, although Xin Qingji was a little disgusted with Du Yue's character, he was still willing to take him to continue traveling south.

In September of the seventh year of Yongshi, the fleet left Nangang, Funan Town and continued to move south.

However, this time, the journey of the fleet became extremely difficult.

After leaving Funan, the vast sea and the blue waves are endless. You can rarely see land, and there are only some islands.

However, Xin Qingji was very happy.

Because along the way, he discovered many bird droppings islands.

This is a credit that fell from the sky!

So, people were ordered to draw detailed nautical charts and mark the island location on the nautical charts.

After sailing on the sea for almost half a month, a strait appeared in front of the fleet.

"This is what the Duyuan people and Funan people said about the 'Changxia'?" Is it?" Mounted on the deck of the gunboat, Xin Qingji held a thousand-mile mirror and observed the strait that appeared in his sight from afar.

I don't know how long this strait is.

But it must have been better than the Yingzhou Strait (Daimaru Strait) he passed through when he came here, and it must have been longer and more magnificent than the Fusang Strait (Miyoko Strait) he had been to.

The strait in the mirror of a thousand miles, the blue waves are rippling and seagulls are flocking.

In the distance, there are dense forests, towering cliffs, and snow-white beaches.

Just no one.

In other words, humans in this strait area rarely come to the coast.

"This place controls the key to the north and the south, and leads to the way to enter and exit..." After sailing in this strait for several days, Xin Qingji knew that from the south of the sun, this place was the most important place.

In the future, this place will definitely be a place where military strategists are fighting for the same as China's Taihang Mountains.

"When I return on this trip, I will report to the Prime Minister to build a country here!"

At least, several marquis and even princes must be enfeoffed here, immigrated tens of thousands of people and completely controlled the place.

As long as we keep this place, the entire sea area after this strait will become the Hanjia Neihu!

So he immediately sat down and picked up his pen to write the memorial.

…………………………………………

It's already October.

In the ancient city of Fahrenheit, Wei Lu lay high on the golden throne of the Mauryan king, looking down at the trembling sacrifices in front of him and his subordinates who were urgently summoned.

As a conqueror, Wei Lu has conquered this once-prosperous old land of the Mauryan Dynasty for five years.

The last kings and nobles who replaced the Mauryan Dynasty, the Sungai Dynasty, are still hanging on the road outside the city.

Used to shock those lowly slaves and indigenous nobles.

The conquerors replaced the Brahmin and Kshatriya classes who were so high in this kingdom in the past and became brand new masters.

The Brahmin sacrificial priests and Kshatriya nobles who once ruled here, now, except for the dozen people in front of him, others were either thrown into the barking or even the untouchable class, or had already moved.

So, Wei Lu and his subordinates lived a very comfortable life.

On average, everyone has obtained hundreds of slaves and countless wealth and land in the process of conquering this area.

Now, they just need to lie down and eat fat beef and mutton, drink delicious cheese, and everything is done by slaves.

They just need to do one thing to practice archery and horses, and then ride horses and go out to conquer.

From Fahrenheit to the north, south, east, and on the vast subcontinent, countless city-states were their targets of conquest.

Under the horse's hooves of the Great Wei Dynasty, all city-states that did not surrender were destroyed.

Therefore, Wei Lu changed the Huafa City to Nanling City to commemorate his hometown tens of thousands of miles away.

only……

Such happy time is too short after all.

"The legend of the giant ships on the sea in Huangzhi state came..." Wei Lu looked at the summoned military nobles of the Wei Dynasty and slowly spoke: "There is a legend of merchants. There is a fleet of black dragon flags flying from the distant ocean to Huangzhi..."

"They may have arrived now..."

So all the nobles of the Great Wei immediately shuddered.

Black Dragon Flag...

No one would want to see that flag, appear in his sight.

"Why do the Han Dynasty just refuse to let us go?"

"We have all been hiding so far!"

Back then, because they were afraid of the Han people's pursuit, they even abandoned good places like Weishui and Lanshicheng. They came all the way south and finally laid a foundation, but the Han people still chased them.

Countless people cursed, but the remaining local sacrifices did not understand why, and why his invincible master was suddenly so scared?

"It's just a fleet!" Wei Lu stood up and looked at the frightened subordinates: "How many people can there be?"

"If they dare to come, don't go back!"

In any case, Wei Lu knew that he would never let that possible Han Dynasty fleet go away.

Because if they go back and report the matter to Chang'an, then the next time they will not be just a fleet, but a huge fleet like the Han Dynasty destroyed Nanyue decades ago!

Danger must be killed in the cradle!

"Wei Jing!" Wei Lu waved to his eldest son: "You bring three thousand elite cavalry and ten thousand slave soldiers to Huangzhi Kingdom. If there are really Han people, don't let anyone go!"
