Wu Zhengxi still couldn't stand the nausea caused by the waves at sea.
He asked Zheng Sen, the captain of the Changbaishan warship who was inspecting, for advice.
"Brother Zheng, doesn't your military have a good way for people to adapt quickly and stop being seasick?
I heard that when the navy selects soldiers, those who are afraid of water are thrown directly into the sea and learn to swim after a few splashes. "
Zheng Sen looked at Wu Zhengxi's fair face, which looked like a noble man, and it seemed that he had never endured hardship.
"There is no good way, but there is a stupid way. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
Wu Zhengxi was exhausted from being tortured by seasickness. When he heard that there was a stupid method, he quickly asked what method it was.
Zheng Sen briefly introduced: "According to research from the Naval General Hospital, seasickness is mainly caused by the body being unsuitable for the bumps on the ship.
To reduce the jolting sensation, the stupid method we used was to tie him to the bed.
After our verification, it is best to wear an eye mask, which can reduce the dizziness a lot.
The experience of this method is not very good. "
When Wu Zhengxi heard this method, he thanked Zheng Sen and returned to his room.
He felt very uncomfortable in his stomach and had an extremely strong feeling of vomiting.
He took the spittoon and vomited violently for a while, then immediately decided to adopt Zheng Sen's method.
If he continues to vomit like this, what will happen to his body after he logs in again?
When the time comes, his brothers will be the first to get there and compete for his father's favor.
He had someone use a belt to fasten him to the bed to reduce the shaking of his body.
Wu Zhengxi put on a blindfold and did not observe everything around him.
This method really works and he rides the bumps much easier.
Wu Zhengxi then found that he was very bored, and immediately notified his guards and asked him to invite some eloquent soldiers to chat with him.
During his rest, he learned about the customs and customs of many places.
He had a clear understanding of the situation in and around the Arabian Peninsula.
It may be that stupid methods work, or it may be that after several months of sailing, Wu Zhengxi's body has adapted to wandering on the sea.
The greater possibility is that the fleet is about to arrive in the Arabian Peninsula, and Wu Zhengxi is in high spirits, offsetting his physical discomfort.
After his body returned to normal, he immediately went to find his father.
He saw his father discussing things with Uncle Zhang. They frowned and kept drawing circles on the map.
Wu Zhengxi glanced at the map out of the corner of his eye. This was the map of the Arabian Peninsula. The circled areas were all the coastline.
He stepped forward and said hello: "Dad, Uncle Zhang, what are you discussing.
Is it about immigration?
I learned during this time that immigrants here in India believe deeply in the caste system.
They are an extremely dominant species. As long as they pay a small price and win over a small number of high-caste natives, they can manage a large number of low-caste people.
During the Yuan Dynasty, because the northern Han people had been under the rule of the Liao and Jin aliens for hundreds of years, they did not have strong resistance to the alien rule.
The southern Han people had always been under the rule of the Song Dynasty and extremely resisted foreign rule.
The Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty gave privileges to Confucian scholars in the north and suppressed Confucian scholars in the south.
This is also one of the reasons why the uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was so powerful in the south.
After Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang drove away the Mongols, Confucian scholars in the north called themselves Yuanru and did not recognize the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty.
The struggle between the North and the South at the founding of the Ming Dynasty was actually the struggle between Yuan Confucianism and Ming Confucianism.
We just need to grasp the right to share the cake and let all domestic forces compete for the cake.
They are like monkeys who cannot escape from the hands of Tathagata Buddha, and they are obediently controlled by us. "
King Cai Wu Jie was extremely satisfied when he heard his eldest son Wu Zhengxi talking.
It doesn't matter whether what the eldest son said is right or wrong. As long as he can speak, dare to speak and learn humbly, he can train his eldest son to become a talent.
King Wu Jie of Cai originally thought that his eldest son was being raised as a playboy by his wife, and he rarely communicated with his eldest son along the way.
Now it seems that Wu Jie's son is also somewhat outstanding.
"Brother Daoyuan, how is my dog doing?
I wanted to ask you to be his teacher before, but I never had the nerve to ask, for fear that he would be a dead wood that no one could carve out.
Today, I see that the ability of dogs is not as good as that of heaven, but it is not rotten wood.
Only then did he shamelessly ask Brother Daoyuan to teach him. "
King Cai Wu Jie valued Zhang Daoyuan very much. He was a great talent and he was also a direct descendant of the Taoist sect.
If the Great China Empire wants to serve as an official, it is only allowed to believe in the Chinese ancestors and no other beliefs are allowed.
Zhang Daoyuan did not want to give up his Taoist beliefs and never became an official, but he also had a great reputation among the people.
King Wu Jie of Cai promised that Taoism would become the state religion of Cai State, so he asked Zhang Daoyuan to serve as an official to assist him.
This is also related to the fact that he was crowned king too late. King Zhang Yuliang of Fujian and others went overseas to found a country. At that time, they were still able to poach the imperial civil servants.
With the improvement of the various systems of the Dahua Empire, it has become impossible for King Cai Wu Jie to poach the corners of the Dahua Empire.
He could only choose talents with good reputation among the people. After screening and inspection, he decided to choose Zhang Daoyuan.
Wu Jie, the king of Cai, was even willing to sell his official position and get a title. He was willing to do anything for the support of Jianguo.
Just by accepting the Taoist sect, you can get a lot of assistance from the Taoist sect. This is very worth doing.
He asked his son to worship under Zhang Daoyuan's sect, which was also deepening the relationship between them and stabilizing Dao sect's heart.
Zhang Daoyuan also understood what Cai Wang Wu Jie meant. As Wu Zhengxi's teacher, he was more suitable to show off his talents in Cai Guo.
He touched his beard and said: "His Royal Highness is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the old Taoist admires him very much.
We are about to arrive in the Arabian Peninsula. After the Cai Kingdom is officially established, the old Taoist will accept the prince as his disciple. "
King Cai Wu Jie said happily: "I will give the dog son to Brother Daoyuan."
He looked at Wu Zhengxi who was standing aside blankly and ordered: "What are you doing so stupidly? Why don't you meet the teacher quickly?"
Wu Zhengxi bowed to Zhang Daoyuan and said: "Disciple Wu Zhengxi pays homage to the master."
After seeing the ceremony, he still asked curiously: "Dad, teacher, what are you discussing, please let me help you.
As the saying goes, after three days of separation, scholars should look at each other with admiration, and three bad guys will be as good as Zhuge Liang. "
King Cai Wu Jie said simply: "Brother Daoyuan and I are discussing where to establish the country.
The Arabian Peninsula is surrounded by sea on three sides, and the side close to Persia is not considered because it is not on the mainstream route and cannot borrow the power of the imperial navy.
This side of the Red Sea is too close to Jin and Min.
The Red Sea is so wide that you don't even need a small sampan, you can just swim across it with a piece of wood.
When we first arrived here, we tried to keep a low profile and not conflict with Jin and Min.
Brother Dogen and I reached a consensus that we must choose a location close to the main route.
This can build up the power of the Imperial Navy. After building the port, it will be easier to import and export various materials.
The difference between me and Brother Dogen is where to land in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula.
None of us can convince anyone else, and our respective opinions are very reasonable. "
Wu Zhengxi listened carefully to the opinions of his father and teacher.
His father hoped to log in from the east of the Arabian Peninsula.
This place has the largest indigenous tribe in the Arabian Peninsula.
After the imperial navy attacks, these indigenous tribes will definitely disperse like birds and beasts.
Landing on the east side also helps keep a low profile.
Wait until Cai Guo becomes stronger before making his voice heard.
Zhang Daoyuan does have a different opinion. He believes that it is better to log in in the West.
There are better ports in the west of the Arabian Peninsula.
When Cai Guo founded the country, he had to rely on foreign trade to maintain domestic stability.
Establishing Cai Guo's core area at a good port will be more conducive to Cai Guo's development.
This is the core opinion of the two parties compiled by Wu Zhengxi himself.
Dad's opinion is based on Cai Guo's safety, and the teacher's opinion is based on Cai Guo's development.
This cannot directly explain who is right and who is wrong.
Security and development are extremely important to Cai Guodu.
Wu Zhengxi turned his eyes and said: "I can't judge which of these two options is better.
I have some ideas of my own, and I would like my father and teacher to comment on them.
I think we must land close to the Red Sea.
This place is a traffic artery for the route.
The ships going back and forth, whether they are going around the Red Sea and the Suez Canal to Europe, or they are going to Europe through the Cape of Good Hope.
This place is a must-pass, and all ships taking this route cannot go around it.
This important location must be seized from us.
Otherwise, if the Jin State reacts and directly seizes this place, we will be very passive.
The Red Sea is too narrow, and it is very easy for Fujian and Jin to occupy the Arabian Peninsula.
We must first set up boundary markers on the Red Sea.
The difficulty of dealing with the Min and Jin states is not at all the same as the difficulty of dealing with the indigenous tribes. "
After Cai Wang Wu Jie heard Wu Zhengxi's suggestion, he burst out laughing.
"Brother Daoyuan, look, this is my Qilin'er.
Previously we only considered the factors of the Arabian Peninsula itself.
It was believed that with the auspices of the Great China Empire, Fujian and Jin would not occupy the Arabian Peninsula.
We are still too naive to pin our national affairs on the kindness of our opponents.
Zhengxi is right, we must stop the possibility of Fujian and Jin reaching out to the Arabian Peninsula.
The Arabian Peninsula is full of desert, but it is also our territory and cannot be allowed to be interfered with by other forces. "
After King Cai Wu Jie finalized the plan, he immediately found Fleet Admiral Li Pinglang and asked the Imperial Navy to assist them in wiping out the indigenous forces entrenched near the port.
This was something Emperor Su He specially ordered, and Li Pinglang happily agreed.
The fleet has sailed to the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, and they used telescopes to look at the scene of the Arabian Peninsula.
Zhang Daoyuan put down the telescope and said curiously: "According to rumors, the Arabian Peninsula is entirely a desert with only a few oases.
I saw lush vegetation on the shore, not the sky full of yellow sand he imagined. "
He said with some surprise: "This is different from what I know. It does not mean that the Arabian Peninsula is entirely a desert.
It's strange how I still see tall trees. "
Wu Zhengxi listened to the naval soldiers telling stories during this time and learned a lot about things here.
He explained: "Teacher, a lot of the news we got before was spread among businessmen, and some of the news was too one-sided.
The Arabian Peninsula is indeed mostly covered in desert.
But places near the seaside are the only exception.
The seaside in our country is a place with abundant rainfall, and I think the seaside here is no exception.
We experienced a lot of heavy rain along the way.
It rains very frequently at sea here, and it is difficult to form a desert near the ocean. "
Zhang Daoyuan said in surprise: "This is really great. There is plenty of rainfall on the seaside, so we can grow food.
This can alleviate food pressure and eliminate the need to purchase all food from outside. "
"This is really good news." King Cai Wu Jie came over and heard the two talking, and he interrupted.
"I have already discussed with Admiral Li Pinglang that the Imperial Navy will help us deal with enemies near the coastline.
I took a small boat to rendezvous with the troops, and with the cooperation of the navy, directed the troops to land.
You stay on the warship and wait for the troops to land successfully before landing in a small boat. "
After Cai Wang Wu Jie finished speaking, he took a small boat to join the army.
Cai's army was very weak and could not compare with the Imperial Royal Army.
But they all have rifles in their hands and have undergone at least half a year of training. Their strength can be compared with the empire's new recruits.
Wu Jie, King of Cai, judged the strength of the army and found that there was no problem in fighting the wind and defending the city.
Wu Zhengxi watched his father go away, with a worried look on his face.
He heard at home that his father kept winning battles. At that time, he had no feelings at all and just enjoyed the joy of his father's success.
Now that he was on the battlefield in person, he had a different feeling.
King Cai and Wu Jie acted quickly. The cargo ship transporting the soldiers immediately launched many small boats with mortars and machine guns mounted on them, preparing for beach landing.
The indigenous people on the shore are also a large-scale indigenous tribe and have encountered enemies from the sea.
These native troops were arranged in a chaotic formation. They prepared oil-soaked bows and arrows and a large number of trebuchets, preparing to deal with the enemy coming from the sea.
When Wu Zhengxi saw his father preparing to land, he wondered why the Imperial Navy hadn't taken action yet.
When he wanted to go to Zheng Sen to ask about the situation, he saw the Changbai Mountain armored cruiser breaking away from the Imperial Navy's queue and approaching a simple small port on the Arabian Peninsula.
He widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Is it possible that the Imperial Navy can suppress the enemy forces on the shore with just this one warship?"
boom! boom! boom!
Three huge cannon blasts immediately brought Wu Zhengxi back to his senses.
The cannonballs, with a huge whistling sound, fell into the chaotic formation of the natives.
The main gun of the armored cruiser weighs more than one hundred tons, and the shells are extremely powerful.
When the shell hit the ground, there was a crater with a diameter of twenty to thirty meters.
The enemy troops three to four hundred meters around are all within the effective killing range of the artillery shells.
After three shells, the native army suffered at least one-third casualties.
Their morale completely collapsed and they were running around like headless flies.
King Cai Wu Jie commanded the army and took the opportunity to launch a landing to deal with the enemies on the beach.
He was very dissatisfied with the performance of the army ashore. This army was still too immature, but the enemy army had collapsed and there was no problem in fighting with the wind.
The soldiers were full of morale, roaring with their rifles, and rushed towards the chaotic enemy troops. They shot and killed the natives who dared to resist.
Zheng Sen saw Wu Zhengxi's surprised look, and he simply explained: "We are just acting as artillery.
It is difficult to have artillery support for landing operations, so I will help you.
The local natives had not experienced artillery bombardment.
This time the effect was very good. After the shelling, the indigenous army immediately fell into chaos. In this state, the indigenous troops would definitely lose. "
When Wu Zhengxi lamented the power of naval ships, he saw the flags on the shore.
His father had already dealt with the remaining soldiers on the shore, allowing non-combatants to come ashore one after another.
Wu Zhengxi couldn't wait to take the boat ashore.
He wants to go ashore as soon as possible and establish a strong country here. (End of chapter)
