Chapter 657

Liu Yan has a special transportation method, which is only known by a few people, not middle-level people like Si Hongzhuang or Fu Wei.

How much food there will be and how much it will be. It is necessary for someone to make an on-the-spot investigation and send previous personnel to disguise. It is inevitable to set foot on A-San's territory as a maritime merchant.

As soon as Liu Yan opened his mouth, without any effective intelligence, the state began to build a forward base to prepare for invasion, which only shows that Liu Yan's authority is extremely important. Whether it was the previous dynasties or the later dynasties, no emperor could make a decision like Liu Yan. Even the most authoritative first emperor would have been rejected.

Central unconditional implementation of Liu Yan's decision, is that they did not see Liu Yan's fault, and then Liu Yan, many means seem very mysterious. If Liu Yan's authority is on the one hand, on the premise that the Central Plains is about to face a severe drought, invading a San's territory is also a necessity for a dead horse to be a living horse doctor. Of course, there is no lack of military promotion.

It is a common phenomenon that thick fog appears every morning in the primitive dense forest, especially in the humid area of Indochina Peninsula. The most dense fog occurs in spring, and some areas will be shrouded in thick fog all morning.

At present, it is summer. The dense fog will disperse around 9 a.m. and the people of the fleet have repeatedly seen green land. They can see not only trees but also trees, but also mountains layer by layer.

"Damn it." After crossing the Strait of Malacca, Si Hongzhuang can no longer be lazy all day. He often goes to the mast to observe with a telescope: "this ghost place is either a forest or a mountain. However, the plants are very dense. It is definitely a rainy place all year round."

There is no mistake. There are many rainy times in the Indochina Peninsula in a year. Sufficient rain is one of the reasons why plants grow so well. The plants are very dense and there are too many rainy seasons. There are too many factors that can create swamps in this area. It is not generally difficult to explore.

"So it's suitable for farming!" Fu Wei subconsciously looked up at the sky. There were clouds like marshmallows in the sky, and there was no sign of rain: "rice, you know? Those families took out 15 million stones, all of which were rice."

At present, rice is only planted locally in the southwest coast of Han country, not the main food. The main food of Han people is millet, millet, wheat, beans and all kinds of beans. At present, wheat has not been divided into barley and wheat, and the yield is not large. Only dignitaries can afford it. The people eat all kinds of beans the most.

When the Han Dynasty invaded the Indo China Peninsula, the grain was basically supplied to the military, but the army with many people in the North could not get used to rice.

Northerners like pasta. Rice can't be made into steamed bread or noodles. Even steamed buns are made of glutinous rice. Although glutinous rice is a kind of rice, the problem is that rice is different from rare rice. It should be said that glutinous rice was actually planted in the Central Plains, but the quantity was pitifully small.

The road of human taming "food" is through repeated research and improvement, whether livestock or plants.

Livestock is to catch wild animals for captive breeding and artificially change the living habits of wild animals. After years of operation, although pigs are all pigs, domestic pigs and wild pigs gradually become two species. At least domestic pigs don't have the tusks of wild pigs.

The ancestors didn't know how much to pay for plant food before they knew which plants could be cultivated. After repeated exploration and experiments, they took it for granted in the later generations.

The state of Han is now engaged in the project of taming rice. Instead of doing hybridization, it is actually trying to plant in various regions and cultivating in the South first.

Where there is no high-tech in the cultivation process, it is to gradually adapt rice to soil and water, and produce new rice seeds from generation to generation. There will always be a generation of rice suitable for cultivation in the north.

When Si Hongzhuang heard about rice, his first thought was of the delicacy of rice with braised meat. However, braised meat appeared too few times, and more often rice with salted fish.

"The big man got more than rice in a foreign land." Fu Wei knows that there are a lot of fragrant trees on the Indochina Peninsula, including the islands in Nanyang, and there are countless other trees for thousands of years: "the general of the southern expedition has shown the center and proposed to build a dock here."

Those so-called thousands of years old wood are all kinds of towering trees. Any one can be used as a load-bearing beam of a house, and there is absolutely no shortage of wood for building ships.

Si Hongzhuang knows a little about those. For example, to build Chang'an new city in Guanzhong, he has put forward a plan of wantonly logging from the Indochina Peninsula, and is already doing relevant waterway exploration.

Before steel and cement were widely used, of course, a lot of wood was needed to build houses, of which the most wood was needed to build palaces.

Naturally, the more valuable the wood that you want to be used in the palace, the better. Previous dynasties used local materials. In fact, after so many years of felling, there were not many valuable wood, even few trees that met the specifications.

In addition to the wood used for construction, it is more about all kinds of furniture. Chinese civilization has several distinct characteristics. It likes jade and uses jade to describe a gentleman. In addition to the pursuit of jade, there is another aspect of precious wood, which needs to be painted.

"No jade mines have been found in Indochina Peninsula. There are a lot of things called jadeite." Fu Wei's family was also involved in colonizing the Indochina Peninsula, and learned much more than Si Hongzhuang: "I heard that some families in the south are driving the aesthetics of jadeite?"

Jadeite and jade are similar in appearance. In fact, they are all a kind of jade, but jadeite is divided into jadeite. In Chinese history, there has never been a lack of fraud of using jadeite as jade. If it were not for the experts playing Jade, they would not be able to distinguish. There is a gap in the value of the two, and jade is more valuable.

There are no jadeite minerals in the Central Plains. For a long time, it was considered that China did not produce jadeite. This cognition was ended with the discovery of jadeite minerals in Yunnan and Inner Mongolia, but that is a modern thing.

In addition, the Han people have not explored the Indochina Peninsula in depth, otherwise they will find many magical natural creations. For example, there are many fossils in Myanmar. Many trees have evolved over time, some are worthless wood fossils, but there are many jade trees.

The world has never been short of resources. It depends on whether there is the ability to occupy the land. The wider the territory, the more national resources, and the better the development prospect of ethnic groups. If you are unfilial, you can live on the gift of nature. Just like the natural gas and oil company in the north, doesn't it rely on natural resources to continue its life after its decline? And that place was robbed from China.

Sailing on the sea is a very boring thing. Without a chat object, you can suffocate yourself all day in front of the endless sea and the boundless blue sky and white clouds.

Fu Wei and Si Hongzhuang were not friends before. In fact, they met only after the fleet went south. They could not land when they were on the ship. If they didn't talk nonsense, they were worried that they would go crazy because they were extremely eager to step on the land.

The boring voyage has been going on all the time. They found a pre-established stronghold on the seventh day after entering the A3 ocean.

It is a port built on the side of the mountain. You can't see the beach composed of sand at a glance, but the plants growing on the beach are dense.

"I can't help it! This place is not only a plant, but also a plant. It's very difficult for us to find that the waters here can provide ships with a water depth of 10 meters to reach the shore." Tension is the chief officer of this stronghold, and the military rank is junhou. At this moment, he is bare upper body, and his lower body is just wearing a pair of underpants. Without any embarrassment, he complains: "the weather here is very stuffy, and wearing a formal dress is definitely suffering."

If you let the sun shine for a long time, the result is that the skin on your body is generally scalded, resulting in dark skin and peeling. It looks absolutely scary.

The personnel of the fleet don't look much better in appearance. No one will wear a tightly wrapped suit every day. It's a kind of enjoyment to take off only one underpants. Of course, they will also get sunburn in the end. Their sunburn will be more serious after they are stained with seawater. After all, seawater is salty.

The ships of the fleet have not fully entered the port, the construction time of the stronghold is not long, and there are not so many berths. On the one hand, they are in a foreign country, which is equivalent to entering a combat state. There must be warships ready to fight at all times.

People who get off the land from the ship will walk a little bumpy and embarrassed, and they will shake down as soon as their feet step on the land. They have to slow down before they can adapt again.

Tension didn't need to know much about the fleet. He led Fu Wei and Si Hongzhuang to an attic built of bamboo. When they sat down, they opened their mouth and asked, "did you bring anything to their hometown?"

Fu Wei can understand the tension. If he is too far away from his hometown, the whole country will become his hometown. Even if it is not long, he will want to see the products of his hometown, even if he hears some news.

Si Hongzhuang smiled and asked teasingly, "does sake count?"

Tension immediately licked his lips, and the chicken nodded: "count! Of course!"

The sake mentioned here is not Japanese sake. In fact, it was created as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is usually brewed with high-quality water and millet. The official name of Zhuxia is "Jiang", which will take many nice names, such as jade pulp, but it is actually sake and usually has therapeutic effect.

It is not rare for a long voyage ship to have only wine. On the contrary, it is bound to carry a large amount of wine when sailing. The wine will choose a lighter variety, and the fruit wine is excellent.

Fu Wei shouted to the outside and asked his soldiers to go to the flagship and move down the wine barrel. Some processed dried vegetables and sauces can't be less. Fruit can't be taken. Yuanhang depends on this to provide rich vitamins so that the body won't get septicemia.

Why did the Chinese Navy prepare so well? That's not because Liu Yan exists!

As for what preparations should be made for ocean voyage, if it were not for Liu Yan, in fact, all countries, including the Han country, did not understand it, and it would take more than 1000 years to have relevant knowledge, so that there are preconditions for ocean voyage. Otherwise, the ship can withstand the wind and waves, and the people on board can never suffer the diseases caused by the lack of necessary vitamins.

The fleet led by Fu Wei carried many fruits. Nanyang is extremely rich in bananas. They carry them on the ship in piles over Luzon. There are a lot of coconuts, but the most important oranges are brought from the mainland.

After a long chat, Si Hongzhuang took the lead in standing up, and his tension immediately got up.

The three people knew what to do next. They left successively to change into formal clothes. When they met again, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before, but became solemn.

Si Hongzhuang's official title is captain. His arrival is to become the chief officer of this place. There is a nice name called pingman captain.

The official name is just like his post. The pingman general established in the Western Han Dynasty was specially used to kill the barbarians. The responsibility of Si Hongzhuang, a pingman lieutenant, is to bring this territory into the effective rule of the Han state, and it is necessary to wipe out the non compliant foreigners around. And the southern alien is not Zhuman in the official position of Zhuxia?

There was not much routine in the handover of the army. Si Hongzhuang took out the half tiger talisman of the unified army and the other tiger talisman held by Zhang Li to confirm the authenticity. The appointment document issued by the Taiwei house was not as important as the tiger talisman, because the tiger talisman was kept by the king, and the appointment document of the Taiwei office was just a writing seal.

There are a large number of military appointment documents that need to be stamped. When it comes to the appointment of school captains, the whole set of procedures is not simple. It can be said that the king's letter seal (emperor's letter seal), Taiwei's seal and senior general's seal are indispensable. If officers above the level of school captains are appointed in the local territory, they also need to be endorsed by the chief military officer of the county according to the different location.

The emperor's letter seal is used to send troops, which is matched with the tiger amulet. Liu Yan has not yet become emperor, but the emperor needs a lot of clothes, because he has not appointed a senior general, and even the military seal of the senior general is in his own charge.

Tension checked and confirmed one by one. After everything was right, he became a subordinate of Si Hongzhuang. He should call the officers and men to gather and hand over military power face to face, while confirming the relationship between the Department and the subordinate.

Standing high, Si Hongzhuang glanced at the heads below and found that the garrison in the stronghold had cleaned up and dressed in a very short time. After the bronze drum was played, no one was missing. He said some words of encouragement and praised the soldiers for their loyalty in foreign countries according to the routine. Finally, the whip could not disappoint the king or the people.

"Captain pingman..." Fu Wei joked when he waited to return to the pavilion: "he was very magnanimous when he spoke, like a captain who can wipe out the dissatisfaction."

Tension didn't follow him back to the attic that originally belonged to him. Then someone will come to clean up. It will become Si Hongzhuang's.

Si Hongzhuang pretended to be lost: "my brother has full psychological preparation. If he doesn't make great contributions, he will stay here for the rest of his life."

Originally, Fu Wei, who wanted to make some jokes, couldn't speak at once.

There are captains with titles, such as Dongyi captains, Nanman captains, Xiwu captains and Huqiang captains. They really have to guard a place outside the mainland for a long time. It's not a good job for some foreign nationalities to be too aggressive in the garrison, and it's common to die captains with special prefixes.
