Although there has been no effective communication with the Central Plains for the time being, Luan clearly knows how powerful the country named Qin is.
They wear invulnerable armor and hold extremely sharp weapons. The crossbows in their hands can shoot very far.
This is not someone Dayebu can provoke.
At present, the total number of men, women, old and children in Daye Department is only 40,000, which is already the limit.
The current fighting in Wanwan is very fierce, because the area of struggle is gradually shifting inward from the coastline, and the connection with the Central Plains is gradually disconnected. According to the original historical process, Wanwan will fall into a period of civilizational regression in the future.
During the Yin-Shang Dynasty and even the Zhou Dynasty, Wanwan, who did not cut off ties and fought mainly along the coastline, could barely keep up with the progress of the barbarian Rongdi.
When the war that lasted for hundreds of years ended, Wanwan was completely cut off from the Central Plains and was trapped and died on the island in disguise. From then on, he could only become a local aborigine.
Luan didn't know what would happen in the future, he only knew that the war was getting more and more intense.
On the outside, the Daye tribe is surrounded by the endless sea, and on the inside, it is surrounded by other tribes, which are like a net bag constantly encroaching on the Daye tribe's survival territory.
If something is not done, Daye will be completely annexed before long.
"Put away your weapons..."
Seeing Luan rowing alone and docking, Jing waved his hand to signal everyone to put down their weapons.
Then the traction rope was thrown and the local indigenous people were brought on board.
The language is...fucking incomprehensible.
After talking back and forth for a long time, Jing couldn't understand a word of the birdsong, and what Jing said before was even more incomprehensible.
"It seems to be an ancient saying...but it's not the same." The internal books of the Yin and Yang family have a certain collection of ancient sayings from the Yin, Shang and even Zhou dynasties.
Jing happened to look at it, but how long was it from the Yin and Shang Dynasties? Where could he find someone who knew the ancient language of the Yin and Shang Dynasties?
But as long as you are willing to communicate, even if you don't understand the language, there are ten thousand ways.
For example, it is the simplest way to reach a truce agreement. After a few gestures, you agreed.
Jing pushed out food and water, and then took out gold, indicating that he would exchange gold for the other party's food and water to replenish it.
Exchange of interests is another synonym for peaceful coexistence.
Gold is hard currency!
It's hard currency throughout the world.
Jing was very generous, and the gold he took out was as big as a fist, and he couldn't take his eyes away just by looking at it.
Of course he wanted to, but this time he restrained his desire and waved his hand repeatedly.
He put the food and water into Jing's hand, returned the gold to Jing, and then pointed at the sword on Jing's body.
The meaning is also very simple, you want weapons!
He knew very well how sharp "Qin's" weapons were!
Jing frowned and did not agree immediately. It did not mean that weapons could not be sold, but before understanding the political structure of this place, Jing would not make such a hasty decision.
Jing shook his head and began to worry about how to explain to the other party what he needed.
You fell into silence...
There is no way, the two sides can only carry out simple and extremely inefficient communication.
"Qin" wants food and water, and Luan wants to exchange weapons with the other party through food and water or trade.
If the Daye tribe can have "Qin's" magical weapons, they will definitely be able to break through the blockade!
But obviously, "Qin" refused!
This was a normal thing. He didn't think it was strange, but he was a little silent for a while.
In fact, even if it is a trade, how many things in the Daye tribe are worthy of exchanging weapons with "Qin"?
At least there is good news. "Qin" is not full of hostility towards the Daye tribe. "Qin" is also willing to communicate with the Daye tribe and even any other tribe on the island.
As you know, the Daye tribe is not special to "Qin". The only difference is that the Daye tribe happens to be the first tribe to come into contact with "Qin".
The last contact was a disaster!
So what about this time?
I have thought about it and hesitated for a long time, and finally!
He made a decision that went against his ancestors.
Luan pointed at himself.
Jing was a little confused.
Then he pointed to the Qin flag with gold characters on a black background flying on the ship.
Jing still didn't understand.
Plop!
You knelt down.
Luan pointed at Jing, then at Qin Banner, and then at the tribe on the shore who were watching Da Qin's ships.
Then he reached out to hold Jing's hand.
Jing realized what the other party was thinking and quickly stopped the other party's actions.
This is surrender!
The other party must surrender!
After being rejected, he was a little dazed, but then he saw Jing's face suddenly turned solemn and he kept talking.
In a moment, someone immediately put a crown on Jing and brought him a banner. The crew stood still in front of Jing.
Just kidding... Jing is wearing casual clothes now.
Logically speaking, Jing is not qualified to accept the other party's surrender, because he represents an individual.
He must be witnessed by the ministers, the festivals and the imperial edict before he is qualified to accept the other party's surrender.
The meaning expressed by Luan was already very clear. He expressed his surrender to Qin on behalf of himself and the tribes on the shore. Naturally, Jing could not pretend to be confused.
Jing Yuluan stood still in front of him, his face filled with joy...then he couldn't wait to put Jing's hand on his head.
This is not hasty, Wanwan is not like the scattered natives in Ryukyu who can directly sweep.
There are miasma poisonous insects here, as well as the natural barrier of Wanwan Strait, but offshore, Wanwan is a place that cannot be avoided.
The local indigenous people of Wanwan have also formed a simple political power, and their combined population is not small. Daqin needs an entry point to intervene in Wanwan.
It is also necessary to understand the internal political structure and population distribution of Wanwan. It is best to also understand the topography and power division of Wanwan.
This all requires close communication with the local government.
Da Qin does not need to care about the other party's purpose. Da Qin only needs to achieve his own purpose.
In this way, under the leadership of Luan and witnessed by everyone, the Daye tribe surrendered to Qin.
"Send people to supply supplies and set up the Qin flag at the port! You guys stay here and help them establish exchanges with Great Qin."
Jing began to give explanations to the prepared Wanwan left-behind personnel.
It is not easy to go to the Central Plains in a detour, and it is too difficult to pass through the strait. It is better to go to Fusang, which happens to be Daqin's first overseas stronghold.
In short, after going around, the left-behind personnel in Wanwan can communicate with Daqin on their own.
They need to stay here, stay in the Daye tribe, learn their language, writing, and understand their civilization and political power. If there is a chance, they do not rule out the possibility of trying to intervene in the local political power struggle. After all, in the offshore, Da Qin can still Try your best to interfere.
There is no need to send troops, just provide weapons and armor, and you can kill everyone here.
"Don't trust them completely. After learning their language well, try to establish communication with other tribes here."
Even if the other party chose to surrender, Jing remained cautious and did not choose to dock the entire ship for supplies.
Instead, they chose to take turns docking.
Each ship stays in port for two to three days, replenishing food and water supplies and having some fun at the same time.
Of course, in order to reward the opponent's surrender, Jing also gave fifty Qin swords as a reward.
A total of ten crew members were stranded in Wanwan, responsible for establishing a connection with Wanwan, while Luan paid tribute to a hundred tribesmen as proof of his allegiance.
One hundred strong laborers is not a lot, but for the Daye tribe with a total population of only 40,000, it is really sincere.
"What you give is what you ask for. It seems that the battle here may be a bit fierce!" Jing stood on the deck and fell into deep thought.
"But it's best to have a fight. This place is not far from Fusang, and Da Qin has the power to intervene."
In Jing's eyes, it's best to use the dog's brains in places that are close, so that Da Qin can divide and win over, establish contact and clamp down on the surrounding area.
As for Yuanhai, of course, I hope that the other party will have a stable political power and be able to establish effective and long-term exchanges with Da Qin.
"Okay... let's go!"
Jing stood on the deck and once again looked back at the Qin flag floating in the port.
After going to sea, he really couldn't bear to leave the land, but he still had more important tasks to do.
Continue south...
In fact, it is difficult to travel around the world from Fuso further south. With the current navigation technology, we can only try our best to travel around the world along the coastline.
If you want to go south and travel around the world, you have to cross the Atlantic Ocean, which is a bit whimsical for this era.
But Zhao Si's traveling around the world is simply traveling around the world. He can go directly north from Fusang.
Jing and the others have to consider Da Qin's strategic purpose.
The establishment of certain exchanges in the Southeast Asian waters from Fuso southward and even with Indonesia and other regions is currently what Daqin needs.
Wanwan, Luzon, Ryukyu, Hainan Island, Indonesia, these areas that can be involved, areas where Daqin can exert its capabilities to a certain extent, must give priority to on-site inspections.
Especially Indonesia, where there are things that Zhao Si said must be brought back.
cotton!
If you go north from Fuso and follow the Japan Warm Current and the North Pacific Warm Current, you have to make a full circle, and it will take several years before it is the turn of these areas.
First go south to explore the political structure of the nearby areas, then turn back to the north, return to Fusang, follow the ocean currents and the continental belt, and then return to Daqin from Southeast Asia.
After all, this is the first trip. There are few ships and many things to do. One ship can only be used as two ships. When Da Qin's ships are completed in the future, another fleet can be divided on this basis. Jing does not need to do this. Trouble.
"Senior brother? Senior brother and the others are still busy digging gold mines..."
It is impossible to expect Lin Baiyu to send more ships to explore. Shijian Yinshan and Zuodu Golden Island have already been found. One less ship means one less ship of gold and silver.
"But counting the time, the first batch of gold and silver dug out by senior brother should have been sent back to Daqin, right?" Jing looked at the coastline.
The coastline is getting farther and farther, and even the flag of Da Qin gradually becomes a black spot, and finally disappears in the ever-lengthening sky.
On the other side, the First Emperor's motorcade was patrolling the world...
An urgent note from Langya, sent straight for you!
