During the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sanhan tribe had begun to enter the era of slavery. The original Sanhan tribe had just become three countries, namely Baekje, Gaya and Silla.
The most powerful among them is Baekje in the west of the peninsula. Baekje is a country of foreign monarchs and native people. The upper class of Baekje are the Buyeo people from the north. After conquering the Mahan natives, the Baekje Kingdom was established. .
After the Buyeo people went south to conquer the Mahan natives and established the Baekje Kingdom, Gaya and Silla experienced rapid development and progress under the threat of powerful foreign enemies.
Today's Sanhan can be regarded as the beginning of a salty fish's turnaround, but history will show that this salty fish turnaround is still a salted fish and will not turn into a big yellow flower.
However, with the caution of a tiger fighting a rabbit, Liu Yu still had to make serious plans.
The first is the time to cross the sea. The plan is to go to sea in late autumn, because there will be almost no typhoons and huge waves on the sea at this time.
The second is the ships used to cross the sea. Because Donglai County has always had a tradition of crossing the sea to trade with Liaodong, Lelang, Daifang and other places, the ships used for transportation can still be gathered together. Although the water combat capabilities of these ships are weak, However, according to the information Liu Yu received, these merchant ships were enough to crush the small wooden bathtubs of the three Han people.
The third is the strength of the attack force. Because he was afraid that his retreat would be cut off when he went to sea, Liu Yu had to leave most of his troops to guard the rear, and he also had to leave a trustworthy person.
Liu Yu was really in a dilemma when it came to selecting the people to stay in Donglai. There were many people with this ability, such as Gongsun Sheng and Dong Ping who had always been capable men, and Wang Li who had been guarding Yinxian County until he arrived. Several of them are competent in terms of ability, but not everyone can make Liu Yu completely at ease.
In the end, Liu Yu, based on the idea of going into battle as a father-son soldier and fighting a tiger as a brother, asked his eldest brother Liu Yi to stay behind.
Unlike Liu Yu who loved riding and shooting swords and guns since he was a child, Liu Yi has been a Confucian scholar of the Ming Dynasty who has followed famous teachings since he was a child. He devoted himself to the study of Confucian classics. He was not as accomplished in both civil and military affairs as other Confucian scholars, but he had a mature and steady character. Very suitable.
When he heard that his younger brother asked him to be the temporary commander guarding his lair, Liu Yu's eldest brother shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, I don't know anything about military matters. How can I sort out these soldiers?"
And there is another reason Liu Yi did not say. How did Liu Yu get this imperial position? As the eldest brother, Liu Yi knew very well. He was very afraid that the court would settle old accounts in the future, so he thought that besides Liu Yu, there would be no one else in the family except Liu Yu. He asked everyone else to stay out of the matter. If the court turned against him, he could still use his relationship as a master and classmate to help the family.
Liu Yu had probably guessed what his brother Liu Yi was thinking.
Regarding this cheap brother who was more than ten years older than him, Liu Yu knew that if he told him the facts and reasoned with him, he might not be able to convince him in three days.
So Liu Yu directly revealed his thoughts to him.
He told Liu Yi that he had caused so many casualties to the powerful men of Donglai County twice. The grudges were so deep that they had long carried the grudge to the whole family. It is not as simple as you think, brother. Is it really true? Do you think that only one person is responsible for what Liu Jixing did alone? At this time, the number of people in Donglai County who want to destroy our whole family can be counted on one hand. If we don’t hold the knife handle in our hands tightly, I don’t know how many people will want to. Come up and bite us to death.
After settling his brother Liu Yi, Liu Yu immediately led his people to the military camp.
Liu Yu now has four thousand soldiers under his command, whether they are iron armor or leather armor. Fortunately, he has four thousand soldiers. Because of training three times a day, these soldiers have made strong progress in just a few months. What is lacking now is some more practical experience.
When Liu Yu entered the camp, he could feel the heartfelt support of the soldiers in the camp, because Liu Yu did not regard them as ordinary soldiers or recruiters, like other soldiers of the era who joined the army for military service or remuneration.
Liu Yu had already promised to allocate fields and land to all his soldiers, and it seemed that during the Western Jin Dynasty, there was no shortage of cultivated land, but sufficient manpower. Therefore, Liu Yu also promised his soldiers that as long as they performed their military duties well, they would be able to The landowners who plowed the fields would also give them their share immediately.
Liu Yu came to the army and summoned the generals to arrange the deployment of troops from each battalion and brigade. He only brought two thousand soldiers this time and asked the generals to try to select those soldiers who were not too seasick.
"General, what should we do with those guys from Gentleman's Camp?"
One of his generals asked Liu Yu.
The Junzi Camp was the hostages sent by powerful families in Donglai controlled by Liu Yu. Most of them were nephews of each family. Liu Yu organized them into a separate camp of less than a hundred people. Although they were hostages, they were always delicious. While drinking and making offerings, apart from doing some daily writing and recording work for myself, the rest of the time was spent bragging and spanking together.
When Liu Yu leaves, these people will definitely not be able to stay.
"We all set off with the army. After all, the savages in the three Koreas are ignorant and need these gentlemen to teach them."
After nearly ten days of continuous preparation, a new pirate, or merchant, who had defected to Liu Yu, brought back the news. They had already set up a location on the coast of Sanhan according to the previous plan, and could wait for the wind to go out to sea at any time. .
Finally, on a sunny day with a gentle breeze, dozens of large and small sailboats left the port and slowly drifted toward the northeast.
On the sea, these small sailing boats looked bumpy, and many soldiers in the Dongnae Army quickly became seasick.
Liu Yu stood on the bow of the largest tank ship. The vast sea in front of him looked no different from the ocean two thousand years later, except that the cruise ship under his feet had turned into a small wooden sailing ship.
But this three-sail trough ship is already considered to be the strongest technical level in China's seas today. Not to mention the watertight compartments of this ship, nor the mortise and tenon joints, nailing and caulking of this ship, just the two sides of the hull. The racket stick raised high on the side can deal a fatal blow to any ship that dares to question it.
On this voyage, the name of the leading ship was Yi Zhong.
He had already joined Liu Bogen when he raised his army, and got acquainted with Liu Yu, and later became Liu Yu's navy general.
At this time, Yi Zhong was in the cabin, playing with a long needle floating in a basin.
While playing with the long floating needle, Yi Zhong looked at the sky outside, and from time to time looked down at the simple chart in his hand.
The more he did it, the more he looked at it, the more affectionate on his face became a mixture of surprise and caution, and finally he couldn't help but laugh out loud with joy.
"Father, what are you happy about?"
His son Yiqiao looked puzzled. He felt that his father was very strange today. He actually spent a long time playing with a needle, and he became inexplicably happy.
"You unimproved little brat, you can't even understand."
Yi Zhong was angry that his son didn't know the ancestral skill of sailing and piloting. When he was his age, he could sail a boat at high speed.
"Son, let me tell you, with this thing, you will never be able to find North again on the sea."
