Chapter 332: Yingzhou

Yingzhou is very interesting, there are many islands connected together, there are no gods living on it, but there are many people, with different accents and different words. Thankfully, they can still use the same script.

In fact, in the beginning, the text was also different.

A long, long time ago, there were Qin people who crossed the sea with boys and girls and brought Qin Wen. Over time, there were no Qin people on the island, but Qin Wen stayed. Because of the intensification of the annexation wars of many tribal leaders on the island, a country was born, called the Wa Kingdom.

The Wa sent an envoy across the sea to find the Han Dynasty on the other side of the sea, and their emperor was called Emperor Guangwu, who gave him a gold seal with the Han and Wa kings written on it.

Until a long time ago, the Wa Kingdom went to war with many small countries on the east side of the island, and by this time, there was no longer a Wa king on the island, but a Wa queen, named Himiko, who lived in a very deep palace, never met with outsiders, and used the method called the Tao to drive the non-existent ghosts and gods to draw the allegiance of the people.

When the queen was still very young, on the other side of the sea, an uninvited guest broke into the island, and his name was Yi Yinmo. He was the second son of the king of Goguryeo, a great northern country, and they landed on the other side of the island wearing iron armor, holding bright long knives in their hands, and carrying large bows made of sandalwood.

They had no art of war, no tactics of war, no unique language, no writing of their own, and even the written word came from the Han Dynasty on the other side of the sea. The Goguryeo people knew the Chinese language, but the Japanese people did not know the Goguryeo language, and their letters were invisible to the Goguryeo people, and no one could lead them to win such a battle.

But war can promote technological development.

The Goguryeo people brought iron and methods for smelting iron; They brought with them bows, and they also brought with them the skill of making longbows. They also brought horses, tall beasts that could be ridden on the backs of warriors...... Unfortunately, these horses have been stabbed under their buttocks and cannot give birth to foals.

The queen of the Japanese did not call for the help of the spirits, the warriors were defeated one after another, the people were impatient, and one tribe after another surrendered, and everything seemed to be to no avail.

The wind is coming.

The wind blowing from the north brought a huge warship that rode the wind and waves in the thick fog, and the samurai wearing iron armor and carrying a large crossbow and holding a ring sword on the warship resembled the long-rumored god of the Wa Kingdom, and the name of the god was Tian Yu.

Yi Yin Mo died, and died in the battle with the gods, what else could it be? No one could fight against the gods, not even the mighty Goguryeo, the big ship swept through the Goguryeo Muzhai from east to west, like a strong wind sweeping through the rice fields, like a thunderbolt splitting huge trees, Goguryeo, an extremely terrible opponent for the Japanese people, was swept away in just one month, and those tribes who betrayed the Japanese did not get any good end.

In order to thank the heavenly general Tian Guorang for his kindness, the queen was willing to give all the treasures to give back to the Han Dynasty, among those treasures, Tian Yu knew what the king of Zhao needed, so he left his cronies and hundreds of sailors here to choose what the Zhao country needed, and then contacted the sea ships of Lelang County to come to transport. Of course, Tian Yu could not take the artifacts of the tributary country for nothing, and exchanged the handicrafts from Lelang and Liaodong, and the king of Zhao opened the sea city in the south of Lelang County in exchange for huge supplies at sea.

When Tian Yu was on the table, he continued to lead the fleet west, which was discovered a few years ago, when Tian Yu was ordered to recruit the fleet to participate in the Yan offensive against Yuan Shao in Xuzhou.

When the market opens, Yanbei has always been keen on opening the market. Especially when he knew that the sea routes of the Wa Kingdom could bring whale skin, whale glue, tortoiseshell, Dongzhu and other curiosities to the Zhao Kingdom, yes, of course, silver.

He couldn't find a reason to refuse, the transaction was fair and reasonable, these things were not necessities for the Yan clan, but they were precious enough, in addition to being handed over to the caravan to circulate all over the place in exchange for money, the biggest use was probably nothing more than as a tool to reward his subordinates, so they were not very precious items for Yan Bei, so their value was slightly lower.

And what does the Wa Kingdom need most?

Iron pots, baking trays, painted furniture, of course, agricultural tools from the Han region, of course, not simple objects such as hoes, those things can be worth a few dollars, waterwheels, water vertebrae, this is the crystallization of the most advanced technology in this era, is it too much to replace an assembled water vertebral with a Dongzhu? I have a great mill and an iron plow.

That's it!

Want a forge, or get rid of a skilled blacksmith? Don't you think that such a request has affected the good opinion of His Royal Highness King Zhao towards you? If you can't eat enough, don't think about what you have and don't have.

In short, the sea market was thus decided, and the people who traded with each other were not only the Wa Kingdom, but also the Yi people who lived on many islands, and the kindness of His Royal Highness King Zhao came to the Quartet.

This is the origin of Sun Ce and the others who met them on an unknown island and thought they were searching for their Tian Yujun, in fact, on the islands outside the Han Land, most of them had fleets coming and going, and the people of all countries would load the goods they wanted to exchange with each other on the sea ships of Zhao State, deliver them to the officials of Zhao State's Lelang County to count the quantity, and bring them back to the island by freely exchanging equivalent commodity farm tools or handicrafts with the people on the ships - the value of the goods was determined by Zhao State.

Of course, Yanbei's approach made the officials and people in the country quite slight, and many people thought that His Royal Highness King Zhao was too stingy, and the people were sincerely attached, and they actually used this way to exchange for huge profits. A pair of waterwheels and water vertebrae are exchanged for pearls, and you won't give people a rollover thirst that is really worth the price, even if you are doing business, you don't do it, right?

But King Zhao didn't care at all, in his opinion, this was obviously very suitable, what kind of soldiers and horses to prepare, everyone went to dig shells and pick up hawksbill turtles, in exchange for a waterwheel to grind iron plows to farm, and soon lived and worked in peace and contentment?

Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, two years passed in a blink of an eye, and the time advanced to the time when the Sun family fled overseas, and these uninvited guests with helmets and armor finally landed in Yingzhou in their minds after wandering for half a year.

The army of the queen was defeated, and the more than 200 Lelang sailors left on the island were also unable to stop the remnants of the Sun clan who were several times their size, and the lax armament was not enough to resist such a powerful enemy.

This vassal country, which had just paid tribute to each other for less than three years, was breached in the national capital, and the news spread across the sea to the palace of Handan in Zhao State, causing Yanbei to be furious.

However, Yan Bei frowned and looked at the letter from the Wa Kingdom, what did the Sun family want to do?

Yan Bei groaned and read out the letter: "Zhao Guoyingzhou Mu, Sun Zhongmou? Who can tell Lone, who is this Sun Zhongmou! ”
