Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 437 Yingzhou
Uh, how to make it, I don't know, Zhou Cang's face turned black. "How to make it needs to be explored by Zifang. I only know that the alcohol can be cooled into spirits through distillation."

Mi Fang pondered, "I have heard of the method of distillation, but I have never tried it. Since the lord has the method, it will be easy to handle."

Zhou Cang was most worried that Mi Fang would ask himself to explain what distillation was, but Mi Fang knew it, saving himself a lot of talking. "This matter needs to be top-secret. Even if the development is successful, we don't want to produce it. It is estimated that we will have surplus food in one or two years, and we will produce it again at that time. The spirits produced are not allowed to be sold in Han, and all are sent to the grasslands to sell at a high price."

Mi Fang felt dizzy for a while, did Zhou Cang plan to exchange a jug of wine for a horse or a cow?

Zhou Cang stayed in Seoul for two days before heading south to Busan.Deng Ai began to ask again: "Is it a strategy for the teacher to send spirits to the grassland?"

Zhou Cang smiled and said, "Exactly. Xiao Man, is the wine good?"

"Of course it's delicious." Dianman blurted out, then covered his mouth and said, "Don't tell my mother, uncle."

"Deng Ai, you see, even Xiaoman thinks wine is delicious, so it can be seen that wine is addictive, but drinking too much will hurt his body, so his mother won't let him drink. It's good to have a drink, but it's hard to control yourself for a long time. I think Guo Jia’s short life is related to his excessive drinking. It’s cold in the north, and spirits will have the effect of repelling the cold, but this is just an illusion. After drinking for a long time, you will become dependent on alcohol, and you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t drink for a day.”

"I understand. Xianbei's exchange of cattle and sheep for wine is beneficial to me, and it can also hurt them and defeat them. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if we cut off their supply one day?" No alcohol!"

"I don't drink alcohol when I'm on duty!" Dianman thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said ruthlessly.

Zhou Cang smiled and didn't care about them, and continued southward. The biggest feeling along the way was that there were many mountains and rivers, and it took ten days to reach Busan.

"Xingba has chosen a good place." Zhou Cang said with a smile.

Gan Ning chuckled, "The scenery on this island is very beautiful, my lord can stay here for a few more days. I chose this place to build a water village just to be close to the country of Wa."

"Xingba, let's listen."

"The local people said that fishermen from the Japanese country once came here in a storm. Unfortunately, they didn't know anything about it. They only know that there are many islands in the Japanese country. The island where they live is called Nagasaki, which is less than [-] miles away. There are also Dongyi fishermen who have been to the Japanese country. But the expressions are different. Some say that it is in the east, and some say it is in the north or south. I suspect that Wa Kingdom is composed of several large islands and several small islands. I sent three fleets to explore, and the return is indeed the same. And said, The Wa people are short in stature, extremely poor, and seem to have a Himiko woman as king."

It was not easy for Gan Ning to obtain such information.Zhou Cang asked, "Have you ever drawn a good sea chart?"

"My lord, please take a look." Gan Ning unfolded a map, the drawing is very rough, but the outline can be seen.

Zhou Cang had no intention of making a big break on the map, pointing to the map and said: "Since the sea route has been discovered, I won't talk about it, but the name of the Wa country will be changed in the future. Well, let's call it Yingzhou." With a posture that has already brought the Wa Kingdom into his arms, he pointed to the area of ​​Hokkaido and said, "This will be the North Island in the future", and then pointed to Kyushu and said, "This is called the South Island." Pointing to the Shikoku Road, "This is called the Central Island." Island", and finally pointed to Honshu and said, "This is called Honshima, and it will be the seat of Yingzhou from now on. As for the Nagasaki Island just mentioned, it will be called Tudao Island."

The so-called name is just a code name, as long as the titles are unified, Gan Ning immediately picked up a pen and marked the name on the map.

"How does Xingba plan to use his troops?"

Gan Ning has been planning for a long time, and immediately replied: "I want to take the island first, build a water village, and use it as a food and grass turnover place. Next year, I will send troops to the main island, and it will be wiped out in one year. I will take the middle island and the south island first, and finally the north island. "

"Are there enough troops?"

Gan Ning didn't dare to take it seriously, and shook his head slightly: "First, the Liaodong Navy has three battalions, and Tai Shixiang needs to patrol the Bohai Sea in case of accidents, so there are only two battalions with about 2 people. Years to calm down, difficult."

Think about it too, 2 people are enough to fight a war, but if you want to conquer and rule a country, you have to vomit blood from these people just by walking, not to mention that these are navy troops.

"I have ordered Xu Sheng to lead the army northward to assist you. I think he is on the way at this time. I can order him to fetch the way island as a warm-up. In addition, Zang Ba has sent troops to Dongwoju. I promised him to give assistance on the waterway. Let Sun Da also go to warm up." Zhou Cang thought for a while, but it seemed that it was still difficult to rely on only 1 sailors, and then said: "I can't transfer the infantry of each battalion to you, but Yuan Fang suggested that I Xuzhou has set up a garrison camp with [-] soldiers each, and I will assign half of each battalion to you, and the leaders of the two camps, Huang Xu and Liu Qing, will be under your command."

After hearing this, Gan Ning was overjoyed. With 1 sailors, [-] infantry, and five generals, it would be no problem to take over the island.Although the equipment and quality of the garrison battalion are not as good, but compared with the Japanese people, it must be a sky and an underground. I heard that most of the soldiers of the Japanese have no armor, and most of the bows and arrows are bamboo arrows.

"If it's not enough, I can only hand over the Wu Gang Independent Camp to you." Zhou Cang laughed.

"Enough, enough." Gan Ning said hastily, he dared not use the independent battalion. "I would like to issue a military order to take the island within a year!"

"I don't worry about sending troops from Xingba, but there are two things I have to tell you." Zhou Cang said solemnly: "One is natural disasters. There are many hurricanes in the sea of ​​Japan. It's okay to take Tutu Island. The road is short, but you must pay attention to the main island. Be careful, and know more about the tide and wind. The sea is not like a river. Once it encounters a hurricane, the whole army will be wiped out." Kublai Khan wanted to conquer Japan, and sent [-] Mongol warriors, but they all sank into the sea. It is frightening to think about it. "In addition, earthquakes occur frequently in the country of Japan. Once a violent earthquake occurs, the soldiers must learn to save themselves."

"Secondly, when marching across the sea, the soldiers must not be disobedient, so they should bring more medicines, especially to prevent and control the plague."

Gan Ning is not afraid of the arduous battle, but he will be helpless in the face of natural disasters. Listening to Zhou Cang's instructions, Gan Ning nodded frequently: "The final general will remember."

"In addition, there is another important matter for you. The northwest of the island is rich in silver. If you occupy the island, you will send someone to escort Liu Li to search for mines and organize mining. Therefore, all the captured Japanese will rush to mine."

Gan Ning frowned. This job is not easy. It is easy to kill people but difficult to capture them. In addition, he must allocate at least 6000 to [-] people to escort the prisoners and supervise their mining. "My lord, although this matter is not difficult, it is very manpower-intensive, and what should I do if there are no Han people to take down the island?"
