On the muddy beach, the whistling sea breeze blew up waves of fishy smell.
Not only the fishy smell of sea water, but also the fishy smell of flesh and blood on the ground.
Yin Xian stood on a hillside, looking at the seaside not far away, which was full of dead and wounded enemies lying on the ground, and felt a sense of comfort in his heart.
"Protector!"
"Protector!"
Suddenly, bursts of cheers came from below.
Yin Xian saw that the Sushen people on the island headed by Lao Huang raised their weapons high and let out bursts of cheers in the direction of Yin Xian.
They are enjoying the joy of victory.
Today's victory was precisely due to Yin Xian's handiwork.
After discovering the news that the Sushen people on the other side of the sea were about to attack, Yin Xian asked Lao Huang to contact the surrounding Sushen people tribes and start gathering in advance to fight.
Then they pretended to retreat all the way and led the hostile Sushen people into the ambush trap set by the Han army.
Under the charge of several Han troops wearing iron armor and holding swords and guns, nearly ten times the number of Sushen people immediately collapsed.
The Island Sushen people, who had been pretending to be defeated but were about to become real defeated, immediately regained their energy and turned around to pursue them.
The completely collapsed enemy was chased all the way from the dense forest to the seaside.
"Kill all the wounded soldiers and prisoners, and then kill the strong ones among them, leaving only the obedient ones."
After enjoying the victory cheers, Yin Xian immediately gave the order.
After such a victory, the surrounding Sushen tribe must no longer be afraid of their former opponents.
They have the strength of the Han army like Yin Xian, and they can feel proud from now on.
"Protector, so many heads are considered our military merits, which can offset the previous losses."
A general next to him said to Yin Xian.
Everyone knows how serious the previous losses were to the Anton Protectorate. If the court were to hold him accountable, Yin Xian would be in serious trouble.
Now it's good. Not only did he have the great contribution of discovering gold on Kuyi Island, but he also had the military merit of capturing the heads of hundreds of Sushen barbarians.
After all, everyone can go back feeling proud.
"No, these are far from enough!"
Yin Xian said suddenly.
"Not enough? What else does the Protector have to do?"
Several generals were stunned when they heard this.
"The population on Kuyi Island is sparse, and every young man is extremely rare. In the future, we will mine and dig gold here, but we will need a large number of young men."
Yin Xian said meaningfully.
"After this battle, Heishui Sushen on the other side must have been seriously injured. Moreover, they did not expect that they would suffer a complete defeat and they would definitely be unprepared. If we can lead the Kuyi tribes to counterattack, we will definitely be able to sweep away the Heishui." The young men and women captured by Shui Su Shen's various ministries can also be transported here to be used as slaves for digging gold mines!"
Kuyi Island is the new name of this island today, which is also the Sakhalin Island in later generations.
Yin Xian didn't know what the original meaning was. He only knew that the solemn barbarians here all made such a sound.
And the Heishui Sushen are the Sushen people from across the sea who often come to the island to plunder.
The Sushen people of Heishui had a small amount of copper and iron weapons, and they had completely crushed the Sushen people of Kuyi Island before.
Now coming to the island to plunder is as easy as going to the fields to harvest crops. I really didn't expect that I would suffer a disastrous defeat.
"All the tribesmen in Kuyi are so slim that they are not even as strong as civilians. How can they be used?"
The general on the side immediately raised questions.
In today's battle, Heishui Sushen only had about a thousand men, while the Kuyi tribes had almost twice as many, but they were almost completely destroyed.
Such a huge gap in combat power is really not of much help to Yin Xian, the more than 100 Han army officers and soldiers.
"I watched the battle today, and I saw that these Kuyi tribes also have this fierce spirit. In fact, they are not weaker than Heishui Sushen, but they lack orders and coordination, so that after the battle, chaos quickly broke out, so that The brave are not allowed to enter, but the weak mess up their own position.”
Yin Xian said very calmly.
It turns out that these Kuyi tribes are already sparsely populated. In order to gather enough people to fight today, it can be said that all the young and old, strong and weak, went into battle, and they barely managed to gather enough people.
"Then what do the Protectors plan to do?"
"Reorganize the camps of the Kuyi tribes, set up flags and drums, and give them some weapons and leather armor that we don't need. It only takes ten days and a half to have the strength to fight Heishui Sushen." Yin Xian said very confidently.
He had been fortunate enough to learn some art of war, and he still had some ideas on how to train new soldiers.
"Go and recruit Lao Huang and the others!"
Soon, the leaders of various Kuyi tribes, led by Lao Huang, arrived happily.
In today's battle, they not only defeated the enemies they did not dare to look directly at in the past, but also captured a large number of weapons and armors. Although they were all junk that could not be seen by the Han army, they were all valuable to Kuyi Sushen's troops. It is a rare treasure.
"Protector!"
"Protector!"
As soon as they saw Yin Xian, the leaders of the Kuyi tribe cheered again.
In fact, they didn't understand the meaning of "Duhu" at all. They just heard that the Han soldiers called Yin Xian "Duhu" one by one, so they thought it was some noble name and started to learn it.
Yin Xian is now approaching the status of a messenger sent by the gods in their hearts.
When they heard that Yin Xian was going to lead them across the sea to attack the Blackwater Sushen people, they all agreed without thinking.
Although they have no knowledge, they are not stupid.
In today's battle, almost a thousand Blackwater Sushen people were killed, and their vitality was definitely severely damaged. If they pursue the victory, they will definitely be able to plunder more property.
"However, if you want to follow the great man, you must obey my orders. You must retrain and prepare for war, and then you can go and kill Sushen in the black water to avenge him!"
They all agreed to Yin Xian's request without thinking.
The ferocious appearance of these Han troops had just been imprinted in their minds, and no one dared to refuse any of Yin Xian's requests.
Later, Yin Xian organized the Kuyi tribes into four tribes according to their strength.
The local products are scarce, and there is not much fabric to make the flag. We can only remove a few pieces of cloth from the ship, and distinguish them with white, yellow, blue and red as the signs.
Because the number of people in each department was too small, and each department did not even have enough people for a military commander, Yin Xian simply named each department after four kinds of flags: white, yellow, blue and red.
"Captain, more than a thousand Kuyi people have just come to join us. Adding in the people who have joined us in the past few days, there are already more than two thousand people. How should we deal with them?"
A few days later, all the tribes on Kuyi Island heard the news about the defeat and massacre of the Heishui Sushen people, and they all came to seek refuge.
Nonsense, there is a force more terrifying than Heishui Sushen coming to the island. If you don't hurry up and hug your thigh, why are you waiting to be fucked!
In late spring, the flowers are in bloom.
As the carriages entered Luoyang City one after another, the people in the entire imperial capital cheered.
Everyone rushed to the streets for this rare sight.
Dozens of four-wheeled carriages marched in a neat queue, and piles of golden items were exposed to everyone's view.
"gold!"
"It's really gold!"
"So much gold!"
The onlookers on both sides of the street all exclaimed and became excited.
"I heard that the Anton Protectorate crossed the sea to attack Su Shenman and found a large island with gold and gems everywhere on it!"
"Now it seems that this rumor should be true!"
Some well-informed people immediately started talking among themselves.
Others who had no information immediately asked the people around them out of curiosity.
It turns out that from the beginning of spring, news came from the Andong Protectorate, saying that the original Andong Protector Yin Xian and others did not die in the previous storm, but instead drifted to another place where the Sushen people lived. on the big island.
The island was full of gold, pearls and other rare treasures, and the Sushen people on the island were obedient and aware of current affairs, and immediately submitted to the Han Dynasty's Anton Protectorate.
Yin Xian, the governor of Anton, used these Sushen people to defeat other Sushen tribes who did not respect orders. Not only did he expand the territory of the Han Dynasty thousands of miles, but he also harvested countless gold treasures.
Looking at the carts of gold in front of them, everyone immediately fell into the torture of greed.
Unlike these common people who could only see but not touch, when the carts of gold were transported to the palace, Liu Yu was able to appreciate them carefully as he pleased.
"With so much gold, is the gold mine on Kuyi Island so rich?"
Liu Yu took a deep breath as he looked at the carts of gold, and couldn't help but ask Yin Xian beside him.
"Your Majesty, most of this gold is actually accumulated by the Kuyi tribes over the years. The majority of the gold is actually mined and refined."
Yin Xian said proudly next to him.
Ever since Yin Xian led the Kuyi Sushen people across the river to counterattack the Blackwater Sushen, they quickly won a series of victories.
The surrounding Heishui Sushen was caught off guard, and except for some distant tribes, they all fell to the sword of the Han army.
Yin Xian finally gained confidence and returned to the Anton Protectorate after repairing the ship.
And soon reported the battle situation to the Luoyang court, including the situation on Kuyi Island.
After learning the news, Liu Yu immediately sent someone to summon Yin Xian to the court to receive the reward.
This is a great hero who has opened up new horizons!
The Han Dynasty's expansion in the Northeast region was about to stop, but now there was a new tension, which made Liu Yu have a brand new plan.
"According to your estimation, how many more gold mines can be captured?" Liu Yu asked bluntly.
"Reporting to your majesty, I don't know the specific quantity. I just know that rivers with gold sand can be found everywhere on Kuyi Island, and those Kuyi Sushen doesn't know any craftsmanship. They are all simply sintering to extract gold. If Qingzhou's alchemy is used, It’s probably as good as a Donglai gold mine!”
In the Yinxian area of Qingzhou, there are many gold deposits, and it has been a famous gold producing area since ancient times.
Since Yin Xian dares to say this, it means that the gold mine discovered on Kuyi Island is definitely a huge amount.
"Every bustle in the world is for profit; the bustling world is for profit."
Liu Yu couldn't help but utter this famous saying of Tai Shigong.
"I am determined to completely eradicate hidden dangers around the border. The only thing I am missing is a strange person like you who can find another way!"
Hearing Liu Yu's praise, Yin Xian was immediately very happy.
"Your Majesty, I was just lucky at that time. Later I thought about atonement for my merits, and that's why I got this little credit. I dare not accept your Majesty's praise."
"No, you deserve praise, and you deserve great praise!"
Liu Yu happily patted Yin Xian on the shoulder.
The Kuyi Island discovered by Yin Xian was the place that later became Sakhalin Island.
Sakhalin Island, located in a bitter cold land, is truly a treasure land. It not only has rich fur resources, but also a huge amount of gold.
Moreover, much of the gold in this barbaric era was found in open-pit mines located in river valleys and streams, making it almost difficult to mine.
All you need to do is encircle a piece of land and drag people there to pan for gold.
"I plan to set up another Protectorate here, called the Blackwater Protectorate, specifically to target the Sushen Fuyu people with the Anton Protectorate, and to dig some gold mines by the way. What do you think?"
After arriving at the main hall, Liu Yu said to Yin Xian.
"Your Majesty is so wise, I only feel admiration and admiration for you!" Yin Xian said flattering words in a nondescript manner.
At this time, Liu Yu was staring blankly at the huge map on the wall and did not respond to him at all.
On this map, the markers for the northeastern area are vague. Although some geographical locations are roughly marked, there are no annotations.
When Liu Yu drew the map from memory, many places were blurred and had to be blurred.
But to the east of this vast and wild land, there is a sea, and there is nothing else.
But Liu Yu knew that the real situation was not like this.
Behind the huge ocean to the east, there is a vast and fertile continent.
The aboriginal people on that continent were very backward, even inferior to the Sushen people conquered by the Anton Protectorate.
"Yin Xian, if I give you sufficient support, how long will it take you to build the Blackwater Protectorate into a key place that can be attacked and defended?" Liu Yu asked.
"Your Majesty, I feel that if we want to establish the Blackwater Protectorate, the most lacking thing is manpower. This place is full of extremely cunning Sushen tribes. Without thousands of soldiers and civilians, I am afraid that we will not even be able to accumulate food to sustain ourselves. .”
"I will find a solution for you regarding this matter. I will send some petty criminals who have committed crimes into black water, so that you can have some supplements."
The most scarce resource at this time was people. Even some minor criminals who committed crimes were resources that could not be wasted for the Han Dynasty.
"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's love!"
Yin Xian knew that if a large number of criminals were exiled from the Central Plains, they could build cities and cultivate grain as reserves on the territory of the Heishui Sushen people.
"And it's not just these exiled criminals. Today, when these golden cars are unveiled in the city, there will definitely be many people who are eager to make a fortune and will definitely find a way to visit the Blackwater and Kuyi Island areas."
"At that time, I will also hand over the jurisdiction of these people to you and let them contribute to the Blackwater Protectorate."
The more Yin Xian listened, the more he felt that Liu Yu was a little strange. Why did the Blackwater Protectorate with such a sharp horn care so much? If he used it on the Anton Protectorate, he was afraid that the conquest of Su Shen and other barbarians would be even faster.
