Chapter 266: Yizhou Landing
Chapter 266: Yizhou Landing
We are a string of pearls from the East China Sea, Ryukyu is my brother, and I am Taiwan. ----------Modern. Wen Yiduo "Song of the Seven Sons: Taiwan"
Ships loaded with fresh water, food, weapons, and even grain seeds managed to rush out of the pit into the sea amid cheers. Chen Long picked up a crockpot full of fine wine and smashed it on the wall of the ship with a bang, just like when a Western iron-hulled ship went to sea, it also smashed a bottle of champagne, which is the so-called broken peace.
With the warm sea breeze blowing, Long Chen stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, staring at the deep blue sea as far as the eye could see. Zhen Mi, Master Li, and all his subordinates also stood around the bow of the boat, and everyone was moved by the endless sea. Chen Long looked back, the sails of the big sea ship gradually rose, and after the slight adjustment of the boat boss, the sails were full of wind, and the big sea ship shook and slowly turned its bow to the east.
Chen Long turned on the route memory function in the light brain and constantly drew new charts. The thin red line gradually shows the position of the ship, which can be compared with modern charts and can be corrected in time for deviations from the course. Chen Long looked at the boat boss, relying on the sun, moon and stars to discern the direction all day long, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, just because he didn't want to be too shocking, so only when he found that the direction of the ship boss was deviated, Jackie Chan would make a point. The captain later understood, as long as he asked Chen Long, he would ensure that he would not go in the wrong direction, and it would save him a lot of trouble.
According to the plan, Chen Long's sea ship was supposed to pass through the Taiwan Strait in later generations and enter the Pacific Ocean, and then sail north along the coastline to enter the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, which could go directly to the Bohai Sea, which was definitely an unprecedented route. The only question is where does Long Chen want to land? Moreover, the landing site must be able to complete the supply of water, fresh vegetables, medicine, and even personnel. The connecting voyage between each station should not be too long, because long-term navigation, if you lack vitamin C, it is easy to get scurvy, and there was no specific medicine for scurvy at that time. The crew was sick and could not be treated, and they could easily die, so they had to be thrown into the sea.
The first stop on Chen Long's chart was determined to land in Yizhou, which is today's treasure island ---------- Taiwan. At that time, there were only some natives in Taiwan, and it was not until 240 AD that Sun Quan sent 10,000 soldiers to Taiwan. This also proves that Taiwan has been a part of China since ancient times.
The boat travels very slowly, and everyone is used to seeing the invincible sea view, and soon they are tired of facing it every day. This was followed by the painful torture of seasickness, and almost all people who were not accustomed to the wind and waves of the sea began to vomit incessantly, and the cabin was always filled with a fishy smell. For Zhen Mi, this voyage* was too hard, but fortunately, there were strong female guards to help Zhen Mi, and finally gradually adapted to the bumps in the sea.
For ten days, I didn't meet a boat on the road, as if the whole sea was the person on board. Only the occasional school of fish, dolphins, whales, and sharks that emerges from the sea will cause everyone to cheer. Those sea creatures that people on land have never seen before bring endless joy to the people on board.
According to the instructions of the red line of the light brain map, the sea ship was about to enter the Taiwan Strait, and Chen Long ordered the sea ship to exercise as close to Yizhou Island as possible. After passing through some well-known cities in the future, such as Kaohsiung, Taichung, Hualien and the like, now looking at the past, it is just a snake's nest of grass and trees. The dense tropical vegetation makes the whole island look like a green piece of cake, and there is no trace of people in the tropical primeval forest.
The ship passed through Kinmen Island during the wilderness, and Chen Long ordered the ship to stop. Passing through the treasure island of Taiwan without landing is simply a crime. Chen Longrang put down the lifeboat and took Zhen Mi, Li Shishi, Zhou Budo and two boats of special soldiers to explore the desert island.
Yizhou Island is full of towering trees, strange flowers and plants. The long vines as thick as the forearms are intertwined with each other, looking like big green dragons from below and up, and their branches have climbed to the branches of trees thirty or forty meters high; It's like ascending the ladder to heaven.
The boat rowed along a small river from the sea, and because of the abundant sun and rain, the trees in it were straight and tall, stretching their branches towards the sun, surrounded by vines and plants, and graceful white birds perched on the trees, and agile apes jumped between the gaps in the treetops. As far as the eye can see, there are all trees, only the clouds in the sky as a reference, and the trees in the distance are like neat bushes, boundless, and it feels like entering the green barrier.
Finally saw a flat land in the forest, Chen Long ordered the boat to stop and dock, and everyone landed happily. Chen Long was full of emotion, the first time he landed on Taiwan a thousand years ago, and I don't know if it was the first time that human beings landed on this Chinese treasure island. His own landing was at least forty years earlier than Sun Quan's army, and it is also exciting to think about.
The woods around the clearing are filled with unknown birdsong, and looking up along the birdsong, the emerald, blue, white, and black colorful birds are singing in the branches, and this crisp call suddenly makes people feel warm in their hearts, and it seems that they have temporarily forgotten the mystery and danger of the rainforest, forgetting that this place is so wild and primitive.
Jackie Chan cut down a few wooden frames, cut them into a cross, flattened one side of the cross, and engraved two big characters on it: Taiwan. A small line is engraved at the bottom: Qinglong Army, 195 AD.
Zhou Budo asked stupidly: "What does Taiwan mean?" Isn't this Yizhou? ”
Chen Long laughed and said, "This is the name I gave him." As soon as he said this, suddenly a wooden arrow flew by with a whoosh, piercing into the middle of the word Taiwan. Everyone was caught off guard, they were all shocked, looking at the direction where the arrow was coming, Long Chen stepped in front of Zhen Mi in one step. Lu Chang had already swooped towards the bushes where the arrows shot out.
With a violent shaking of the bushes, a few natives wearing calf shorts jumped out of the woods, fighting with Lu Chang, and their skills were actually very vigorous, reminiscent of the speed and strength of wild tigers and leopards. Long Chen couldn't help but admire the ability of these natives to sneak in. Unexpectedly, they were lying on the tree, and they didn't even notice the movement. The natives, with their faces covered in black charcoal, chicken feathers tied on their heads, and their bodies covered with knotted muscles, resembled Indian costumes.
Chen Long quickly struck out, subdued several natives in a few strokes, smiled all over his face, signaled not to kill them, and asked them to take him to their place of residence. The natives finally understood what he meant, and when they saw that this man had arrested them and released them, they obviously had no ill intentions, so they took them to the village.
It is said to be a village, but it is actually made up of shacks woven of vines, and dozens of male and female natives live. The Great Chief personally received the outsiders, and the men, women, and children of the village came to see the excitement. Chen Long saw that the villagers were all narrow-faced, pointed-chinned, and stout, with big ears and eyes, and thin branches hanging from them. The eyes are resolute and masculine, and he is short in stature, and he looks quite like a Southeast Asian.
Chen Long's heart moved, if he left the garrison, would he be able to gradually develop Taiwan? Even if the population moves in, it is not impossible. At the moment, a lot of materials were unloaded from the big ship, sent to the big chief, and obtained the qualification of the tun army, which also left a lot of grain seeds, and left a hundred troops on the treasure island, taught the indigenous agricultural planting, and became the first batch of mainlanders to develop the treasure island, which is of great historical significance, enough to leave a name in history.
After staying like this for a few days, and after the amount of wine completely defeated the natives, Chen Long led his troops and set off on the sea ship again. This wild Yizhou will definitely become its own important naval base in the future, not only has enough timber for shipbuilding, but also it will only take one day to land in Minzhou on the other side from here. It's a pity that Minzhou is also a wilderness.
According to the sea chart, Chen Long finally locked on the next landing site: Wu County, where he had pretended to be Yan Baihu. Once there, will it be possible to establish an important military base to seize Koto?
