In the autumn of the sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty, when the attention of the entire Great Song Dynasty officialdom was attracted by the newly established Military Machinery Division. Ji Yi, the notorious colonial pioneer who was called the notorious colonial pioneer by the history books of the Western world in later generations, is full of ambition and is preparing for his "trip to the West" - Ji Yi must have been to the West more than once!

Of course, Ji Yi now doesn't know that because of his many trips to the West, he will leave such an ugly reputation in history, and he doesn't know how much disaster his actions will bring to the peace-loving people of the world in the end!

This guy is a scourge!

Of course, all the bad things were done by Ji Yi! Wu Haogu is a good person, because the positivist school he founded will write history in the future, so he must say good things about Wu Haogu.

As for Ji Yi! He didn't have that many disciples, and of course he was the worst of the badass......

Ji Da Villain, at this time, had already arrived at the Five Islands Islands located at the exit of Bohai Bay on his "God of Light".

And Salmon Island, in the Goto Islands, became an international villain concentration camp at this time. It is crowded with villains from the 400 state army of the Great Song Dynasty, most of them are thieves who kill people and set fires, and more than 2,000 people have gathered! Zhou Daxia, who had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood on the battlefield in the northwest, led a group of divination wickedmen to clean them up, and then divided them into ten commanders to practice martial arts and water warfare every day.

There was also a group of mercenaries from Jiehe Shang City and Jingdong Shang City - all hired through the six "pirate families" of the Wu family, the Hua family, the Ji family, the Bai family, the Xie family, and the Chen family, all of whom were villains who committed crimes at sea but were not arrested...... The total number is no less than 2,000, and they have also practiced water warfare for a while under the command of the three naval army leaders.

Muto Kinichi, a retainer of Takeyoko, brought a group of Japanese villains, five or six hundred of them—by the way, Su Shi had now gone to Heiankyo with the letters and gifts of the Great Song Emperor to meet with Emperor Shirakawain and Emperor Horikawa.

As a sign of friendship with the Great Song Dynasty, Dazaifu in Kyushu naturally relaxed restrictions on Song merchants and Song scholars. The "Tenri Evangelistic Mission" headed by Muto Shinichi was allowed to open a dojo in Hakata, called the "Tenri Dojo", to teach not only Confucianism but also "Muto-ryu Sword and Shield Technique" and "Jiehe Bow Technique".

The former is a combination of a fan shield and a katana. This is the "mystery of kendo" that Muto realized when he was studying at the Yuntai Academy, and with this hand, he has already picked up many swordsmanship masters in Kyushu in Hakata.

The latter is even more powerful, and it is the stunt of the divination war slave soldiers sent to Muto by Wu Haogu. Their bowing skills are superb, and they can't compare to the Japanese samurai who play with bows.

So in a short period of time, Muto Kinichi gained a lot of popularity, and then he took out a "high salary" - a huge amount of five copper coins a year - to recruit a group of wandering samurai who gathered in Hakata. Due to the "Han Kou Attack" incident, Hakata became the base camp of Japan's crusade against the Han Kou.

Oh, and it's not the base camp of the Japanese Imperial Army, but the wandering samurai gathered from all over the western country. They all want to make a big deal in the war against Han Kou.

Unfortunately, the Japanese court did not have much land to use for merit, nor did it have any ships to transport samurai to retake Tsushima and Okishima.

In this case, the wandering samurai gathered in Hakata became more and more difficult to control. Therefore, Dazaifu turned a blind eye to the samurai going out.

By the sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty, in the autumn of the first year of Japan's Jiacheng, Muto had already brought hundreds of bantam warriors to Salmon Island.

The samurai are all big baddies, of course!

On July 15, when the north wind began to hang, Ji Yi, who had gathered multiple villain labels such as feudal bureaucrats, big landlords, big capitalists, and demon sect leaders, had already landed on Shamen Island, where villains gathered, together with his deputy, Li Gang, a great Confucian of the positivist school.

"The last general will wait to welcome the angels, the pavilion is ready, but please move the two angels and relieve the bumpy sea road for a while......"

On the wharf of Shamen Island, a group of well-dressed naval generals headed by Zhou Gao, the inspection envoy of the five islands, and Hu Yanqing, the inspection envoy of the Nanyang, stood in shifts, and all the ceremonies were paid attention to, greeting the two envoys who came down from the "God of Light".

On this occasion, both the villain of Ji Da and the scholar of Li University put on official uniforms, and with every movement, the narrow and long yarn wings trembled slightly. Both of them were graceful and nodded slightly at the generals.

There is the Song Dynasty, no, it should be since the unsuccessful mission of Han Ganying to the Great Qin State, this is another large-scale mission sent by Lang China to the unknown Western world.

Oh, this mission looks a bit like an expeditionary force!

Including 36 galleys, 103 hard-sail transport ships, and a total of 1,000 bed crossbows, the total number of the mission includes sailors, mercenaries, sailors, and accompanying merchants, about 15,000 people!

During the First Opium War, the British expeditionary fleet was not as large as Ji Yi's mission......

Therefore, in the records of later Arabs, Ji Yi was not an envoy of the Great Song Empire, but the commander of the Chinese expeditionary fleet!

The real commander of the expeditionary fleet, Hu Yanqing, the envoy of the Nanyang Inspection, was the highest-ranking military attache present, and under the promotion of Wu Haogu, the rank officer had reached the deputy envoy from the Qipin Supply Warehouse, and was the deputy envoy of the ministers among the ambassadors. There is still a lot of difference between him and Ji Yi's status as a courtier, so he humbly made a solemn gesture and said to Ji Yi: "Please, these days are the north wind, and it is a good time to go south......"

In this year, the sea route basically depends on the wind, and the wind direction is right, and the wind direction is not right, and it turns in place. And now is the time when the wind is in the opposite direction, if you set off immediately, you can reach Haizhou in two days and two nights at most.

For the 36 warships under the command of Hu Yanqing, it is not a big deal to miss this gust of north wind, anyway, when the north wind often blows in May and June, they can always blow them to Sriwijaya.

But for the 103 hard-sailed merchant ships that followed these 36 warships, the north wind blew a lot of money. None of these merchant ships were empty, and they were all loaded with wood, furs, medicinal herbs, cattle and sheep, liquor, blankets, lacquerware, paper fans, umbrellas, porcelain and other commodities, some of which were to be sold in Haizhou. After selling some of the goods in Haizhou, they had to load porcelain, charcoal, ironware, books and various handicrafts produced near Xuzhou and transport them to Mingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

The whole trade process can be said to be one stop after another, and if one of the stops is missed, then there will be a problem that it is difficult to sell or get the goods - other merchant ships will be the first to sell, so you will have to make a lot less money.

Ji Yi himself is also from a maritime family, of course he knows the importance of wind direction to maritime trade, and he is not seasick, but he is worried that Li Gang may not be able to stand it.

"Bo Ji," Ji Yi asked, "now the wind is good, if you set off tomorrow, you can get to Haizhou in two days, and when you get to Haizhou, you can find a comfortable place to go, and you can raise it for a few days." If you miss the time, there is no downwind boat to sit on, and it is possible to walk more than 1,000 miles by sea for half a month! ”

Li Gang can also withstand it, he has also been in the Yuntai School Palace for many years, and he often has to take a boat to and from Tianya Port and Yuzhou Island, which is already a little used to it. However, he was only used to drifting back and forth in the calm Haizhou Bay, and this time he walked in the slightly windy and rough Bohai Bay, and his stomach was full of rivers and seas.

If you really want to get out of Bohai Bay, you don't know what you are going to become?

However, when he was still young and vigorous, how could he show weakness in front of Ji Yi, a middle-aged fat man who was not diligent? At that time, he said: "The official family is eager for the West, how can a certain courtier be afraid of the wind and waves?" Today and rest for the night, tomorrow I will board the boat and head south, in order to reach the Great Food Country as soon as possible. ”

Looking at his face, Ji Yi knew that there was no need to arrange any reception banquet - eat something light and easy to digest, and then sleep well, and then go to meet the wind and waves of the sea!

"Xia Capital," Ji Yi said to Hu Yanqing, "Mou and Li Gang have had a bumpy journey, they are a little tired, rest early today, there is no need to socialize, we all set off tomorrow, let's get close to Haizhou after we go."

By the way, have the white members of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce arrived? ”

It is Li Gang who needs to lie down and not move, Ji Yi has ancestral anti-wind and wave genes, don't look at his body is far less strong than Li Gang, but he can still eat and sleep at sea, and he is in good spirits!

Therefore, there is no need to rest at all, but to hurry up and meet with the heads of several sea merchants to convey the fate of Wu Haogu, and to discuss a unified "trade policy" - that is, the pricing principles and route maps in future maritime transactions.

And Bai Siwen of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce is the most special existence. He's a Celestial Cultist! For a long time, it has been a competitor or even an enemy of Han Chinese maritime merchants in the Nanyang market!

This time, Wu Haogu and Ji Yi used a lot of profits, that is, the Srivijaya Strait Commercial Market (I don't know where it is yet?). Later, he chose a one-fifth stake in Temasek Island, and added the identity of a "transfer emissary" (with this identity, Bai Siwen could go to the Western world to be abducted), and only then did he and his family become a leader of Western routes.

However, Ji Yi is still a little uneasy about this big businessman of the Tianfang Sect, after all, people have firm beliefs - Ji Yi himself is a Manichaean and understands the power of religious belief too well.

So he had to give Bai Siwen a beating! Zhao Qianshun, the emperor of today's official family, is very powerful, and no Black Khan Uighurs or Seljuk Turks can defeat Zhao Qianshun, the king of Xiping.

If Bai Siwen didn't want to see the Buddhist expeditionary force holding high the banner in Baghdad, then he still persuaded the caliph to apologize to the Great Song Dynasty, and then provide some good horses, treasures, and beauties...... Everyone can still live together peacefully in the future.
