Seeing this wild scene, Li Ji couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

Why does Gan Ning seem to be naturally skilled in this kind of pirate tactics?
However, not every personal guard around Li Ji knew Gan Ning.

This made Gan Ning just land on the deck with such a reckless attitude, and suddenly found that hundreds of personal guards on Li Ji's left and right were almost all drawing their swords and aiming at Gan Ning, and there were a large number of bows and arrows in the periphery. He bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Gan Ning.

Especially since these soldiers had just experienced the Battle of Youzhou, many soldiers had a more iron-blooded and chilling feeling than before.

This made Gan Ning, who had just landed, feel a fatal sense of crisis crazily rising in Gan Ning's mind even though there were countless sharp edges approaching.

"OK OK."

It wasn't until Li Ji raised his hand that many of Gan Ning's personal guards with their weapons drawn and pointed at them took back their vigilant posture.

Gan Ning let out a long sigh of relief. At that moment, Gan Ning felt that as long as he made the slightest movement, it would be the result of thousands of arrows piercing his heart and being torn into pieces with random knives.

However, Gan Ning almost instantly forgot about the sense of crisis, and patted his chest while talking with a smile.

"I'm scared to death..."

However, seeing the slightly playful expression on Li Ji's face who came with Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce, Gan Ning immediately came to his senses, put away the playful look on his face, and explained quickly.

"Mr. Zikun, this is just my habit of speaking. I am definitely not implying anything..."

"Alright, alright."

Li Ji looked at Gan Ning, who was obviously used to being wild at sea, and didn't care about such trivial matters. Moreover, Gan Ning seemed arrogant and outspoken, but Gan Ning knew what he should do.

At least, when Gan Ning jumped over first, he was only wearing a single suit and did not even bring any weapons to prove that he had no evil intentions. In a sense, this performance can undoubtedly better express his loyalty and loyalty to Shangguan. close.

Immediately, Li Ji waved his hand to ask the surrounding guards to step back a certain distance, creating a space for a more confidential conversation, and asked straight to the point.

"How is the situation in Yingzhou?"

Gan Ning heard this and said seriously.

"I am about to report to Mr. Zikun. Previously, Jiang Gongyi and I followed Mr. Zikun's order and temporarily obeyed the order of Jia Changshi to lead 10,000 naval troops to Yingzhou."

"After arriving at Yingzhou, Jia Changshi asked me and Jiang Gongyi to divide the army into two groups. One group was led by me to draw the surrounding sea charts around Yingzhou, and the other group was led by Jia Changshi to attack Yingzhou. Landing in the south to contact the Dog Slave Kingdom."

"And I just drew a preliminary chart of the entire Yingzhou area and joined Jia Changshi not long ago. However, Jia Changshi seems to have successfully completed contact with the senior officials of the Gounu Kingdom, and stationed troops at a natural port near the Gounu Kingdom. ”

"I only asked Jiang Gongyi secretly once about the specific matter, but Jiang Gongyi also didn't know exactly what Jia Changshi did."

When Li Ji heard this, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Garrisoning troops in Yingzhou?

Why does something seem weird?
"Then what is the status of our Han army in the garrison?" Li Ji asked.

Gan Ning originally had a serious expression, but at this moment, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he said.

"The Japanese are all short in stature. How can they compare with us Han people? Therefore, wherever we go, we, the Han people, are naturally highly respected. Even if there is a language barrier, there is an endless stream of Japanese people who admire us, the Han people."

"If the military laws were not strict and the soldiers were not allowed to go out to the garrison without permission, I am afraid that there would be many Han people left in Yingzhou."

Li Ji couldn't help but hold his forehead...

Sure enough, some things deep in your bones will never change.

Could it be that Yingzhou generally possesses an innate garrison holy body?

As for how Jia Xu managed to get the Gounu Kingdom to draw a place for the Han army to garrison, Li Ji was not surprised at all.

On the contrary, Jia Xu only did this to this extent, and Li Ji had some doubts about whether Jia Xu was not working hard and was secretly lazy.

Immediately, Li Ji spoke.

"Where is the sea map drawn by Xingba?"

Gan Ning immediately took out the cloth map that he kept close to his body and presented it to Li Ji. Li Ji took it and opened it to take a look.

With just one glance, Li Ji recognized that the shape drawn on the map was indeed roughly consistent with what he remembered. The three major islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu were all present, except for Hokkaido.

However, Li Ji recalled for a moment and remembered that it was in the late 16th century that people in Hokkaido began to cross the sea from Yingzhou Honshu to build a city.

Therefore, today's Hokkaido is not still part of Yingzhou.

Then Leakey asked. "How is the distribution of power within Yingzhou?"

Gan Ning approached Li Ji and introduced while pointing at the map.

"Nowadays, there are a large number of small countries on Yingzhou, with countless names, and there are many conflicts between them. Until not long ago, two countries grew stronger, and then many small countries on the island respected them."

"These two countries are the Yamatai Kingdom and the Gounu Kingdom that Mr. Zikun knew before. Among them, the Yamatai Kingdom's sphere of influence includes the largest island in Yingzhou, and the remaining two islands belong to the Gounu Kingdom's sphere of influence. "

Li Ji followed what Gan Ning pointed out and immediately understood that what Gan Ning was talking about was that the Yamatai Kingdom controlled Honshu Island, while the Inu Kingdom controlled Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island. Of course, that may not be the name of these islands today.

but……

Li Ji asked a guard to bring a writing brush, named it directly on the map, and then spoke.

"The three islands will be named after this from now on."

"If the Japanese people from all over Yingzhou knew that they could be named by Mr. Zikun, they would be so grateful that it is beyond words."

Gan Ning immediately sent a rainbow fart, without even thinking about whether the Japanese living in Yingzhou would accept this name.

Or in Gan Ning's opinion, Mr. Zikun only needs to be responsible for naming.

If there are those who do not accept it, then Gan Ning and the Han army have their own way to make them gratefully accept the name conferred by the scholars of the suzerain country.

Then, Li Ji carefully wrote down the map in his hand.

However, in fact, this volume of map depicts only the general outline of Yingzhou, and it is not suitable for direct use as a military map. However, considering the situation of Yingzhou, the Japanese may not necessarily know how to draw a map.

Therefore, this volume of maps actually has considerable reference records, and can be continuously improved based on this, and finally an accurate map of Yingzhou can be drawn.

Li Ji asked while putting the map away. "Xingba, then Wenhe asked you to come and greet him personally. I must have some instructions, right?"

"Mr. Zikun really knows things well. Jia Changshi did have something he told me to tell Mr. Zikun." Gan Ning replied.

"Tell me." Li Ji weighed the map and motioned for Gan Ning to speak.

"After Jia Changshi asked me to meet Mr. Zikun, he asked Mr. Zikun to stay in this sea area for three days before going to the garrison. Jia Changshi will prepare a surprise for Mr. Zikun," Gan Ning said.

"surprise?"

Li Ji thought for a moment and then asked Gan Ning. "Speaking of which, Jia Mu is also in the Dog Slave Kingdom. Has Xingba seen Jia Mu?"

"I've seen it."

Gan Ning replied without thinking. "It can be said that Jia Changshi has his legitimate son with him at all times, so it's no wonder he has seen him before."

When Li Ji heard this, the last trace of doubt in his heart was mostly eliminated.

If something was wrong, it would be impossible for Jia Mu, the hidden man, not to look for an opportunity to warn Gan Ning.

This made Li Ji curious about what kind of surprise Jia Xu would give him.

Moreover, Yingzhou was already in sight, so Li Ji was not in a hurry.

Li Ji nodded and agreed. "Forget it, let's rest in this sea area for three days."

……

Three days came in a blink of an eye.

During these three days, Li Ji asked Gan Ning in detail about the current development situation of Yingzhou.

When this topic is mentioned, Gan Ning's tone always reveals a hint of contempt and disdain that cannot be concealed.

The Japanese, as their name suggests, are all as short as monkeys. When Gan Ning went deep into the Gounu Kingdom, he found no one as tall as Gan Ning's shoulders.

As for the clothes, they are extremely simple. Even for some noble officials of the Gounu Kingdom, Gan Ning's opinion is that their clothes are barely enough to cover their bodies, let alone the lower-class Japanese.

To Gan Ning, who usually liked fine clothes and was proud of them, this was simply a heresy.

In addition, the Japanese weapons and armor also developed certain iron weapons, but there was an obvious generation gap in technology compared with the Han Dynasty. The main weapons and armor were still wooden spears and wooden armor.

If there is only one thing in Yingzhou that Gan Ning should take seriously, it is that the internal systems of Yamatai and Gounu in Yingzhou are much superior to those of Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiqiang and others, and they are vaguely similar to those of the Central Plains. The internal system of the dynasty.

After being described in detail by Gan Ning, Li Ji had a better impression of today's Yingzhou.

However, Li Ji still needs to see Jia Xu to further confirm the current situation before he can determine how to manage Yingzhou.

As three days passed, under the leadership of Gan Ning, the fleet began to slowly move towards Yingzhou Kyushu Island.

At this moment, in the Han army station, in addition to Jia Xu, Jiang Qin, Jia Mu and the Han soldiers who had completed the formation, there were more than three thousand Japanese people lined up among them.

But compared with the Han army, which was relatively tall and strong, well-equipped with armor, and with gleaming weapons.

Most of the three thousand Japanese soldiers wore wooden armor, with only a few iron pieces in key places, and most of the weapons in their hands were made of wood. Only a few of them belonged to leaders, holding some iron pieces in their hands. weapon.

In contrast, the Japanese soldiers next to the Han soldiers felt a bit like they were crowned with monkeys.

In addition, there are some high-ranking officials and nobles who are obviously dressed differently from ordinary Japanese people, standing next to Jia Xu and others.

Each of these high-ranking officials and nobles were also short in stature, and they looked at the Han people's costumes from time to time with awe and curiosity. (End of chapter)
