Chapter 18 Overseas Expansion ([-])
The third year of the Han Dynasty
Southeastern sea area of Wiman Korea
A ship was heading east along the coastline, with a long black flag hanging on the bow, with the word "King" embroidered in gold and a golden crescent moon embroidered on the back.
"Brother, do the Japanese Islands in the legacy of the ancestors really exist?" A girl in commoner trousers stood at the bow of the boat and asked a young man beside her.
The girl's name is Wang Roujing, and she is the daughter of Wang Chong, the second room of the Wang family in Liaodong. She has a youthful and lovely face, and the small dimples at the corners of her face show her immature aura all the time.
But such a noble girl wears trousers that the villagers of the Central Plains only wear, instead of open crotch trousers like the dignitaries of the Central Plains, and then puts a satin dress on the outside of the crotch trousers, and the two trouser legs are rolled up, revealing Her slender and beautiful calves were wearing a pair of straw sandals that exposed her feet.
Because under the influence of the ancestor Wang Kang, the royal family of Liaodong paid more attention to practical clothes, so although they usually wear the same silk and satin gowns as the nobles in the Central Plains, if they go to sea to work, they wear the trousers of the villagers. They will also roll up their trouser legs "shamelessly" to reveal two smooth calves, not caring about the so-called etiquette at all.
Since a few months ago, when the patriarch Wang Taihao vaguely felt that he might be involved in the vortex between the King of Jiaodong and the court, just to be on the safe side, he arranged for Wang Taiyang and Wang Roujing to go out to sea to find the Japanese Islands in the legacy of their ancestors. Be prepared for the possibility of going to sea to avoid disaster.
"Jing'er, the ancestors never make mistakes. As long as we follow the description of the ancestors' legacy and head eastward along the southern coastline of Wei's Korea, we will definitely find the legendary Japanese islands." As the young master of the Wang family, Wang Taiyang was also wearing commoner clothes, but because the sea often encountered wind and waves, the new clothes just changed in the morning would be soaked before evening, so it was not suitable to wear the old fine clothes and brocade clothes.
Along the way, they rested on the coast of Wei's North Korea every time they sailed, picked some fruits on land, hunted some wild animals, collected some river water, replenished various supplies, and then hurriedly continued sailing, for fear of being caught by Wei's North Korea. Discover.
"vomit--"
"Wow—vomit—"
Some sailors vomited and vomited on the ship. Several months of sea life caused their bodies to suffer greatly. Some time ago, some people contracted diseases due to acclimatization when hunting in Weishi North Korea. This disease spread ten or ten times. The virus spread hundreds of times, causing more than a dozen people on board to be infected.
Out of helplessness, Wang Taiyang had no choice but to secretly order the Wang family's private soldiers who accompanied him to assassinate the sick sailor on land. After returning, he lied to everyone that he died after being attacked by the local aborigines.
When they set off, there were brothers and sisters Wang Taiyang and Wang Roujing on board, five maidservants of the Wang family, twenty sailors, and ten armored infantry, a total of 37 people.
But now, without even seeing the shadow of the legendary Japanese islands, 20 people have died due to diseases, accidents, storms, sepsis and other reasons.
Such a tragic situation made everyone, including Wang Roujing, feel desperate, and couldn't help wondering: Do the legendary Japanese Islands really exist?
At this moment, thunderstorms rolled in the sky, violent winds and showers, and huge waves rolled up in the entire sea area.
Rumbling--
Whoops——
boom!
"The Kraken is coming!"
"Don't panic, everyone go back to the cabin!"
The sailors called this kind of wind and waves that cannot be resisted by manpower "the sea monster".
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and struck a distant sea wave tens of meters away. The lightning burst like a spider's web in an instant, shaking the entire sea area.
boom!boom!boom!
More and more lightning fell from the sky, the whole sky became cloudy, and the world was dark.
The Wang family's ship was swaying in the sea like a lone leaf, as if it was about to sink into the bottom of the sea at any time.
suddenly!
A huge wave more than 20 feet high swept from the side of the ship.
boom!bang— bang—
squeak-
The ship rolled over to the other side, and the deck of the ship was almost in direct contact with the sea.
"Brother, are we... going to die?" Wang Roujing, who was hiding in the cabin, knelt on the wooden board and prayed for the blessing of the ancestors, looking at Wang Taiyang next to her with despair.
"Jing'er, I...I like...uh..." Before dying, Wang Taiyang decided to express his heart to his sister, so it was not a waste of time to come to this world.
However, before he finished speaking, another huge wave hit the other side of the ship.
boom!
squeak-
The ship, which was about to sink into the bottom of the sea, regained its balance under the impact of the two waves, and shuttled through the wind and waves again.
After a long time, the ship stopped shaking, and everyone returned to the deck. What they saw was a clear sky, as if the dark clouds and violent storm just now hadn't happened.
Everything was back to normal, with only the many cracks and damp decks of the ship as evidence of the previous crisis.
Everyone who survived the catastrophe showed smiles, but Wang Roujing could no longer look at her elder brother like before, looked at Wang Taiyang with a flushed face, and asked him softly: "What did brother want to say to me just now?"
"Er... I, I..." Wang Taiyang was very embarrassed, he hesitated and couldn't speak.
But he didn't regret it, because the situation was too critical, if it was really the last moment of his life, if he didn't speak his mind, even if he died, he wouldn't rest in peace.
The two of them were forced to make child marriages under the arrangement of their grandfather Wang Kang when they were very young. One married his wife and married, and the other took a surrogate son-in-law to marry.
However, the two small and powerful families in Dashui County who were married to the Wang family all inexplicably died a few years ago. It seems that the male of the family was assassinated by an assassin, so that all the family property was inherited by the Liaodong Wang family who married with them.
They didn't dare to blame their grandfather, they only hated their lack of ability to resist the family's decision.
Unknowingly, Wang Taiyang gradually approached Wang Roujing, and the two stood on the bow of the boat. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, their figures merged together, not like a pair of brothers and sisters, but more like a pair of lovers.
"elder brother……"
Feeling the masculine breath getting closer, Wang Roujing's heart was beating fast, her fingers were kneading the corner of her clothes, her silver teeth were biting her lips, her heart was full of struggle and hesitation.
"Young Master! There is an island ahead!"
At this time, a private soldier of the Wang family suddenly shouted excitedly to Wang Taiyang.
"Ah~huh—" Wang Taiyang let out a long breath, temporarily soothing his uneasy heart, and then looked in the direction pointed by the private soldier, which was a small island full of green forests.
Not only that, but in the waters not far from this verdant island, there are many similar islands.
At this moment, Wang Taiyang knew that they had entered an archipelago.
Have we arrived at the Waren Islands?But didn't the ancestors say that the Japanese islands are very big?It is bigger than the county of the Han Dynasty, but these islands seem to be only the size of a county in the Han Dynasty, and they don't seem to match the description of the ancestors' legacy.
Everyone has such doubts in their hearts, and with such doubts, the ship speeds up to those islands.
After a while, the ship docked on the coast of the nearest small island.
"Get off the boat! Watch out for beasts! Watch out for bloodsuckers! Watch out for native savages!"
Wang Taiyang commanded everyone to disembark in an orderly manner, and reminded them of the precautions. These are the situations they often encounter when they land on the coast of Weishi North Korea.
Many crew members felt nothing when they were hit by blood-sucking insects. They went deep into the forest in order to collect wild fruits and were attacked by indigenous savages. All these experiences cost them blood in exchange for rich coping experience.
The crew members rolled down their trouser legs and tightened their cuffs and cuffs with cloth belts to prevent the upper body of the blood-sucking insects all over the forest. They gathered together with spears and long swords in their hands, and walked slowly forward all the time.
suddenly!
"#¥%*¥%%*"
"Are you #&#¥%&#¥people?"
A group of people in strange clothes sprang out from the forest and surrounded them, speaking some strange languages, only a few words were understandable.
One of the leaders was wearing a costume similar to that of the Central Plains, but with horrible blood marks on his face, holding a bronze sword in his hand, standing on an ancient chariot similar to that of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and speaking a language similar to that of the Song Dynasty .
"Are you from the Central Plains?"
At this time, an old man in the crowd actually spoke the official dialect of the Central Plains and asked them questions.
The words of the old man instantly shocked Wang Taiyang. He originally thought that these people were the Wa people mentioned in the ancestor's legacy, or the Chen people on the Korean Peninsula, but when he saw their bronze long swords that were different from the savages , and the ancient chariots in the style of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, I felt very puzzled, and when someone among them could speak the Mandarin of the Central Plains, I couldn't calm down at all.
"Some of you can speak Central Plains Mandarin? Not Japanese? Not Chen?" Wang Taiyang communicated with the old man in Central Plains Mandarin.
"What Japanese people? I haven't heard of them, but Chen people have. We are Chen people." The old man replied.
Later, after some exchanges, Wang Taiyang finally understood.
It turned out that these people were all survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and they were natives of the Jizi Dynasty. Later, when Weiman usurped the throne, they were forced to exile to the land of Sanhan in the south, where they unified the tribes of the three Hans and established the Kingdom of Chen.
Since then, they have called themselves Chen people, and have sent people to the Central Plains to pay tribute to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, a few years ago, their king Ji Zhun suddenly died suddenly. Since they had no heirs, the three Han tribes took the opportunity to support their own kings. , these Yin Shang adherents who called themselves Chen people had no choice but to continue to exile to the south. In order to avoid the persecution of the Chen people by the Sanhan tribe, they crossed the sea and came to this archipelago to survive.
Because they have been separated from the Central Plains for too long, and their language and culture have incorporated some characteristics of the local indigenous people, their current language is completely different from that of the Central Plains. Only some words are similar.
When Wang Taiyang communicated with these Yin and Shang survivors, Wang Roujing, who had just disembarked, couldn't help ordering the maids to take out the cloth, silk, pens and ink from the cabin, and asked the maids to hold inkstones and cloth, silk, and she held them herself. The brush records the great moment of communication between Wang Jiashaojun and the adherents of the Yin and Shang Dynasties through ink painting.
Seeing his sister's actions, Wang Taiyang smiled and said, "What is the name of this painting by Jinger?"
"Hmm..." Wang Roujing was deep in thought, and Wang Taiyang's thoughts were moved by her thoughtful appearance. After a while, she showed her cute dimples and smiled, "Why don't you call it "The Last Yin Merchant", how about it?"
"This painting is vivid, and it records the feat of discovering the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. I believe that in the near future, this ink painting of "The Last Yin Merchant" painted on silk cloth will become a treasure of the world." Wang Tai Yang admires his sister's painter very much, and at the same time understands the great significance of his discovery of the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
