Chapter 314 Arrival in Kyushu
The fleet cut through the waves and faced the wind from all directions.
The main ship is a balanced quadrilateral sailboat with four masts stretched out in a cone-shaped formation. The five ships are only half the size of the main ship and are full of hundreds of people, as well as ten sea exploration ships with a ship shape close to that of a ship. They form a small ship heading to the Japanese island of Kyushu.
Mobile fleet.
The eagle flying high in the sky serves as an early warning. The stern usually docks with the sailing ship. When encountering a reef area, the stern will explore the way first. The shutter-like trapezoidal gaff sail adjusts the degree of expansion and contraction of the sail according to the strength and speed of the wind.
It is not as heavy as a cloth sail, and can be easily rolled up and unfolded. It has better operability and can also take advantage of the wind by adjusting its angle.
Oars and rudders are already quite complete ship technologies in modern times, but it took nearly a month to get from Xuzhou to Kyushu.
Amid the shouts and responses of the sailors, the fleet docked on a gravel beach.
Because the horses accompanying them during the long sea transport were too much, Liu Cang and his troops turned into infantry. When everyone landed in small boats, even Liu Cang and Dian Wei felt that their feet were a little unsteady.
The boat is still too small. The speed is still too slow.
Mi Fang, who was accompanying the team leader, praised Liu Cang for how they had adapted to sailing in a short time. Liu Cang then thought that he should first combine the steam engine with the sea-going ship.
"Your Highness, there are many savages on the Japanese island. If you meet any tribe here, they will say that they are a country. Chinese is not widely spoken here. We need to take some precautions against the savages here."
After landing on the coast, Mi Fang and a dozen sailors holding swords and shields approached Liu Cang. Although he was wary of his surroundings, there were 300 elite soldiers under Liu Cang's command and a group of eagles soaring in the sky. Mi Fang's tone was not nervous at all.
"This is Kyushu Island. There is even more vast land to the east. From now on, there will be only one kingdom here."
"Zifang, if the Mi family wants to follow this business path, they can cooperate with the Zhen family, but please do not invade." Liu Cang moved his body to adapt to the feeling of being down-to-earth, and said to Mi Fang.
"Your Highness, there are no specialties here, and the Japanese are very ignorant. Even if it is toy coral, Sanhan has a rich supply of it. If Your Highness wants to run this place, it will not be possible to manage the indigenous people here in a short time." Mi Fang said calmly.
I am quite unfavorable to Japan.
As for what Liu Cang said about entering the bandits, to put it simply, merchants are more afraid of encountering bandits and plundering, but when they go out of the country and encounter some wild areas, if the conditions are right, merchants will also become plundering bandits.
This thing is the same no matter which country it is placed in, especially when facing trade routes with uncertain risks, it is basically the same as putting your head in your belt. Strength and weakness are just gains and losses. It is not too much to regard transnational caravans as a special kind of scouts.
Good talk is a bit nonsense.
However, it took a long time to sail to Xuzhou, and the Mi family's sailing ship was just an ordinary medium-sized sailing ship. In terms of cost performance, Mi Fang didn't think there was anything to grab here.
"Haha, there are still a lot of rare minerals and precious woods here." Liu Cang smiled and did not explain in detail. As he spoke, a capable sailor ran up to Liu Cang and Mi Fang in a panic.
"Sir, there are a large number of natives approaching, it seems there is a cavalry." The sailor reported urgently, and Mi Fang looked at Liu Cang.
"Nothing." Liu Cang waved his hand, and three hundred Feixiong elite soldiers lined up and stood by.
About thirty Japanese horses cleared the way, and then a large number of infantry armed with bamboo spears and bronze swords appeared in front of everyone, guarding an open sedan chair carried by ten people.
This group of Japanese people, who should be regarded as the Japanese army, did not seem to be surprised and afraid of the eagles flying in the sky.
But when they saw the soldiers of the Flying Bear Battalion arrayed on the coast, they stopped and made a noise that sounded like panic and excitement.
Like ghosts and the legendary God of War, the Japanese looked at a group of armored warrior monsters that seemed to come from a different time and space from them and knelt down to worship them.
The cavalry dismounted, the Chinese army got off the sedan, and a woman in gorgeous clothes got off the sedan. Accompanied by a male priest and several cavalry wearing armor, she walked quickly towards Liu Cang.
He raised his hand to stop Dian Wei, who wanted to stop him from approaching. Under the curious explanations of Huang Zhong and a group of soldiers, several people in the group knelt down and worshiped Liu Cang.
"Welcome the Lord God to Yamatai." The woman with a bulging belly was the Queen of Yamatai who changed her name to Himihu. Next to her, the newly dressed priest was Liu Cang's envoy? That is, the angel who helped Liu Cang take care of the turtles.
Hosted by Terumiya.
Seeing this woman, who must have a high status among the Japanese, kneeling down to worship Liu Cang, her Chinese with some dialect tones also made Mi Fang and his party look strange.
However, Liu Cang's side, except Huang Zhong, are all veterans who have followed Liu Cang for many years, and they have long been accustomed to the situation of their lord taking the throne without incident.
"Get up, Gu Yi is the King of Dongping of the Han Dynasty." Originally he was just wandering around the Japanese country, but now that he wanted to develop the Japanese country, Liu Cang changed his identity to a more formal one.
It's not unusual for Himihu to have known Liu Cang's identity for a long time, but the expression on the priest's path changed slightly.
"On the road, Amaterasu Palace is well run." Liu Cang glanced at the real person on the road and said, a pious smile appeared on the priest's face again.
"Please obey the oracle." The real person on the road responded, and Liu Cang secretly laughed. Gods don't seem to all voluntarily light the divine fire.
With fair skin, silk hair tied up, even though she was wearing spacious Chinese clothes, she still looked petite. Looking at Bimihu, who was obviously pregnant, Mi Fang, who was somewhat familiar with Liu Cang's entourage, frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, do you plan to spread Han technology in Japan?" Mi Fang asked softly, her tone seemed to be questioning. Huang Zhong on the other side also frowned slightly.
"Well, this girl is the current Emperor of Japan, and she should have an orphan in her belly. Well, even if this one isn't, the next one will definitely be fine." Himiko led the way and wanted Liu Cang to ride in the sedan, but Liu Cang let him ride on his own and casually answered Mi Fang's question.
question.
"Cough~!" Mi Fang suddenly realized that Huang Zhong on the side seemed to be choked.
Emperor, this name seems very awesome. With the word "emperor", he is at least the leader of a large tribe, right?
Dian Wei was not surprised by this, Mi Fang and Huang Zhong couldn't help but look at Bei Mihu's bulging belly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is very good and powerful. No wonder Liu Cang brought a group of teachers and craftsmen in addition to soldiers. He could not let his cubs play happily with a group of savages all day long.
Bar?
And Huang Zhong was thinking that since his lord was young and energetic, he might let his daughter stay away from Liu Cang in the future. But Mi Fang had no worries in this regard. He was just a girl, too young, so there was no need to worry.
"Nie Lian, you can lead the troops here temporarily, help her train her troops, and try to help her unify Japan within two years." Regardless of Huang Zhong and Mi Fang's psychological activities, Liu Cang said to the heroic female soldier beside him.
"Well, but... Master, I also want a child." Nie Lian responded. She was Liu Cang's chamberlain, so there was nothing wrong with her request.
"Cough~!" This time not only Huang Zhong coughed, but Mi Fang also coughed.
During their voyage, they had seen this woman sparring with an army lieutenant. She was so fierce that even Huang Zhong did not dare to compete with her. This woman was truly a hero.
Under Liu Cang's command, apart from Cai Yan and Zhang Xiu Niang, Nie Lian, the internal servants, have been with him the longest. They are his personal guards, and they are close to each other. They train them all the time. Even the veteran Fei Xiong is not necessarily their opponent.
This time, Nie Lian was specially assigned to lead the troops, and women had no worries about getting along with Himihu. And Nie Lian had long wanted to have a child, so he took off the ghost mask on his face, and looked at it with a pair of watery eyes on his pretty face.
Liu Cang.
"Well, live, live." Liu Cang agreed to Nie Lian's request. He had thrown him into the Japanese country, and there was nothing wrong with making him a baby to play with.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Huang Zhong coughed heartbreakingly, and he was determined that his daughter must stay away from her lord.
