The sun was shining brightly and the wind was bright. After the storm, everything was in trouble. Zhang Yu looked at the messy appearance of the native people's city (Tuweizi) and couldn't help but shake his head.

Damn it, it's just a rustic circumference, I can't even stay if I invite you to stay!

After thinking about it, Zhang Yu still squeezed out a smile and walked forward. In front of him was a native leader in strange costumes, running towards Zhang Yu with a bitter face.

This native leader is named "Lao Cui".

Of course, "Lao Cui" is just Zhang Yu's name to the leader of this native tribe. The other party spoke in a local language and did not have a Chinese name. The name can only be written into Chinese characters with pronunciation. However, the name obtained in this way is too strange and difficult to remember, so Zhang Yu can only call the other party "Lao Cui" based on the pronunciation.

A storm that had just ended today made the city (Tuweizi) where the Lao Cui tribe settled was terrible. Now, when Lao Cui saw the "god man" coming, he hurried to complain.

With the help of "translation" of Tongshizhong, Zhang Yu suggested that he organizes people to build a decent earthen enclosure for Lao Cui's tribe... the cost is easy to say, just want to be meaningful.

Lao Cui was very excited about this proposal.

Lao Cui was excited because he saw that the place where the "god man" lived was safe and sound in this heavy rain, but he could not survive the place where he and his people lived.

During this season of each year, storms and rainstorms always come on the sea to the south. Tribes have lived on the island for generations, and of course they have become accustomed to this. The houses they live in have been strengthened and there will be no problem.

But this storm was particularly powerful. Most of Lao Cui's "ancestral mansion" collapsed. The "crystal cup" that he had previously exchanged for coral and other seafood from the "god man" was broken. Lao Cui was heartbroken about this.

After hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately said that he would give one immediately.

It's a gift, free.

Lao Cui was so grateful that he burst into tears. Because the house was seriously destroyed, he accepted the invitation from the "God Man" and took his family to the other party's place to live for a while.

The reason why Zhang Yu was regarded as a "god man" by the natives on the island is that the doctor he brought can cure many difficult and complicated diseases among the residents of the island. Although it cannot cure all diseases, it is much more sophisticated than the medical skills that are almost witchcraft on the island.

Not only that, Zhang Yu also brought the doctors with experienced Wenpo, who delivered the baby to many tribes and kept the safety of all the big and small. This made the leaders and people of all tribes cry and tears.

Taking the doctor and Wenpo to deal with the natives, he achieved twice the result with half the effort. This is the successful experience summarized by the Guangzhou General Administration and the local slang tribes, and it is also the successful experience of Huangzhou merchants doing business in Lingbiao.

Zhang Yu relied on the doctor to successfully gain the initial trust of the tribal leaders on this island. The various rare treasures brought by the ship drew the eyes of the leaders of various tribal leaders, making them more respect for the "god man".

Of course, the most important reason is that Zhang Yu can summon heavenly thunder and easily destroy the strongest tribe on the island.

The so-called strongest tribe is what happened before Zhang Yu's fleet arrived here. In front of an army wearing iron armor and thunder, the so-called strongest tribe, which was not even a few pieces of leather armor, was no different from the scarecrow.

The "Heavenly Soldiers" who showed their divine power made the local soldiers of other tribes so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed. The scene that followed was not a massacre, but a cargo exhibition at the Maritime Bureau.

Zhang Yu, the admiral of the Maritime Division, brought his fleet to this island, not to carry out a massacre, but to do business. As a merchant, if he killed all the guests, who would he sell that thing to? Should he still do business in the future?

The Langzhu said that the Maritime Fleet is a caravan, not a pirate!

Zhang Yu kept this in mind. As for the so-called "strongest tribe", it was because he didn't know the appearance and tried to use violence to seize the "treasure" and that he ended up like this.

The city of "the strongest tribe" has now been transformed into a trading base of the Maritime Bureau. It is extremely strong and has hundreds of soldiers stationed, as well as the family members of the Maritime Bureau, craftsmen, merchants stationed in the island and related people, totaling more than 1,000.

Zhang Yu, who "supposes people with virtue", successfully convinced the leaders of the tribes on the island to gather manpower and material resources to build a new dock so that the Maritime Ship can be more convenient for the docking of the Maritime Ship.

The cloth, silk, porcelain, tea and glassware produced from the Central Plains made the leaders of the tribes on the island dazzled, and they took out precious seafood such as gold, silver and coral to exchange without hesitation.

The wheat from the Central Plains has initially alleviated the food problem for this island with low agricultural levels.

Of course, the food has to be exchanged for seafood, and the price is easy to say.

Although the island has poor products and only seafood can make the Maritime Fleet profitable, among the tribes on the island, many of the citizens are good at sailing and are very familiar with the nearby waters. This is the "special product" that Maritime Fleet needs the most.

When Zhang Yu was in Japan, he learned that Hakata was located in the southern end of the Zhuzida Island (Zhusi Kingdom), and was often attacked by "Southern Barbarian Pirates". Now, the big island where he is located is the nest of the "Southern Barbarian Pirates" that Japan calls it.

The tribes on the island eat by the sea. From time to time, they send people to take small boats and advance along the northeastern islands, reaching the southern end of Zhuzida Island in Japan. After landing, they robbed the villages along the coast, so they were called "Southern Barbarian Pirates" by the other party.

The natives on this large island are very familiar with the surrounding waters, which is exactly the talent that Zhang Yu urgently needs. As the admiral of the Maritime Division, he must find ways to open up reliable routes and find new trade resources. Only in this way can he strengthen the maritime power of the Zhou Kingdom.

Maritime trade is very risky, but it has huge profits, which can give poor fishermen on the coast a chance to make a name for themselves. The Maritime Trade Bureau wants to do everything possible to promote the development of maritime trade, so the fleet arrives at various islands in the East China Sea and will not engage in massacres, but will do business and explore the sea area.

The huge profits of sea trade can attract more and more fishermen to go out to the ocean. Only when more people participate in sea trade can the sailing level of the Central Plains develop rapidly, and the overseas islands, foreign countries and the Central Plains recorded in ancient books will become closer.

The big island where Zhang Yu is located cannot find the exact name from the Central Plains classics, and even knows whether his ancestors have been here, so the name must be "newly written".

After roughly "surveying and mapping", the fleet of the Maritime Bureau reported to King Bin to the approximate shape and latitude of the island. King Bin then named the long striped and north-south island "Ryukyu" and officially reported to the court.

Zhang Yu found this strange because according to the fishermen on the coast of Fengzhou, "Ryukyu" or "Liuqiu" should be the big island facing across the sea in the east of Fengzhou, and it should not be here.

That big island is also known as "Yizhou". It is located southwest of "Ryukyu" where Zhang Yu is located. It is a large island. The exploration team sent by the Maritime Bureau is now investigating.

This exploration team set out from Langya Port, arrived in Ryukyu and headed to Yizhou. At the beginning of this year, it had established a stronghold near the entrance of a river at the northernmost end of Yizhou.

This stronghold has a name, which was drafted by King Bin himself, and is called "Chicken Cage".

The chicken coop is located at the northernmost end of Yizhou and will be stationed for hundreds of people. The officials of the Maritime Conservatory use the chicken coop as a warehouse and try to deal with local natives. The purpose is still to do business. They do not intend to move the people of the Central Plains to reclaim wasteland and settle down in Yizhou.

Because this is just a port on the "South Road Route" planned by the Maritime Bureau, it provides supply, berth, and berths for passing ships to avoid storms, and it is temporarily unable to open up territory.

After sailing north from Fanyu, Guangzhou, arriving in the waters near Houguan in Fengzhou, you can turn east to cross the ocean, pass through a rapid flowing ocean current from north to south, and arrive at the Yizhou Chicken Cang.

After a short rest, sailed along a series of islands northeast of Jilun to Ryukyu, and continued to walk northeast along a series of islands to reach the southern end of the Zhuzida Island in Japan.

The fleets starting from Langya Port and Huaikou can not take the traditional "north route" and go south along the ocean current and turn to the "north route" in the waters near Houguan to the "north route" to Japan. This does not require the risk of crossing the Black Water Ocean, nor does it require the coastal areas of Goguryeo and Baekje.

After all, not all sea boats have the courage to cross the ocean directly, because there are "rolling waves" deep in the East China Sea. Once a sea boat encounters it, it will be difficult for it to move forward and a dilemma.

Not to mention that when crossing the ocean, if you encounter a sea storm, the ships have no place to hide.

This "South Road" has many islands along the way, which can be used as a reference for fleet navigation, so it is not easy to go to the trek. These islands can also allow them to have reliable berths when avoiding sea storms, which can maximize the normal development of trade with Japan by the Maritime Bureau.

Zhang Yu felt very honored to be able to survey this route for the boss, but by dealing with the natives, he discovered something unusual.

In the east of this large island, which has been named "Ryukyu" by the Maritime Bureau, according to the leaders of the tribes such as "Lao Cui", there is a huge ocean current flowing from south to north, and its sea water flows very quickly and continues throughout the year.

Many tribes sent small boats to the north to rob the robbery, and with the help of the current, they easily reach the large island in the north (Water Bus Zida Island) and land on the robbery of the coastal villages.

This ocean current has a significantly darker color than normal sea water, so it is called "black water" by natives. However, after Zhang Yu took a boat around himself, he thought it was more appropriate to call it "black tide".

The natives of Ryukyu have been passed down from generation to generation, saying that their ancestors came from a large island in the distant southern region, taking a boat to the north with the help of this "black water" and came here to settle here.

Another group of people continued to take a boat north and took advantage of this black water to settle on the big island to the north.

This black water flows from south to north all year round. After passing the big island to the north, it will flow through the waters near Dagang (Nanbazin) in Japan. There, the black water turns eastward and continues to flow.

The natives believe that this black water will flow to the end of the world.

What is the end of the world like?

have no idea.

Many generations ago, it was said that several warriors, who took their family, as well as food and pairs of poultry and livestock, rode on a large wooden boat, planted a mighty totem pole, headed north along the black water, and then turned east to explore the end of the world.

There was no news about the warriors as soon as they left. Many years later, everyone thought that these people had fallen into the abyss at the end of the world. However, one day, the mighty totem pole drifted from the south on the black water flowing from south to north.

What the hell is going on?

Zhang Yu really wants to figure it out.
