Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 617: Dongying People

Wang Gui and Wu Jie continued to lead the fleet towards the north, and they saw countless islands, large and small, along the way.

Most of the islands are uninhabited, and only a few islands have some Ainu people!

The Ainu people are a completely different race from the Central Plains people, and also completely different from the Koreans and Dongying people. They belong to the descendants of the Caucasian race, and there are no pure-bred Ainu people in modern society.

In the earliest days, there were Ainu people throughout Dongying, but later they were expelled by Dongying people to the northern islands.

In mid-May, the navy led by Wang Gui and Wu Gong came to another big island, and thousands of navies started to explore this big island.

The size of this big island is hardly below that of Hokkaido. There are actually quite a few savage Jurchen tribes on this island, and of course there are also some Ainu people.

After a few days, they had a basic understanding of the situation on the big island.

At this moment Wang Gui and Wu Gong are standing in front of a big lake, there are strange waterfowls playing in the big lake, their faces are full of excitement.

"I didn't expect that there are so many undiscovered lands in this world! With so many big islands, it is almost a Koryo again! I think the imperial court can set up another province here, called Beihai Province!" Wu Gong laughed.

"This seems to be where Kuye Island is!" Wang Gui said.

Although Wang Gui, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and others were all farmers, they were familiar with military books and martial arts since they were young, and they know a lot about the affairs of the world! In fact, this is where the Sakhalin Island of later generations is located. During the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains people began to rule here, and it was called "Bitter Page Island" at that time! Historically, this place used to be the largest island in China. Unfortunately, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, this place was occupied by the Russians along with a large area of ​​northern territory. The Chinese lost this place forever! Its area is more than twice that of Taiwan, and its products are much richer than Taiwan!

There are a large amount of oil, natural gas, and coal stored on Sakhalin Island. As for tree resources and fishery resources, they are extremely rich! Here, like Hokkaido, is a treasure land. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Central Plains people lost their right to rule here, and now the Song Army has come here again!

"So that's it! Now this place belongs to our Da Song again!" Wu Gong said.

"There are some savage Jurchen here, but the number is not very large. There are at most 100,000 savage Jurchen and Ainu people on such a large island. If we want to really occupy this place, we still need to emigrate here! However, we can first Set up a naval base here, and educate these savage Jurchen and Ainu people!" Wang Gui said.

Wu Gong nodded.

The two of them did not stay long in Sakhalin before continuing north.

In July, the two of them came to another big island!

The area of ​​this big island is several times larger than that of Hokkaido and Sakhalin!

After walking for half a month, they still haven't come to the end!

In fact, this is not an island at all, but a peninsula connected to the mainland!

This is called the Kamchatka Peninsula in later generations, and its area has reached 370,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the combined area of ​​Hebei and Henan provinces in later generations!

This place already belongs to later generations of Siberia, and the environment and climate here are very different from those in the Central Plains!

"It's only July, and the weather has just entered autumn, yet it's so cold here!" Wu Gong said with emotion as he walked in the pine forest.

"Our way to the north seems to be a barren land, and there are not many people living there!" Wang Gui said.

There are only some wild Jurchen tribes and Oroqen tribes on this peninsula, but the number is extremely rare! Because the environment here is too harsh, it is fine in summer, but it is extremely cold in winter, and neither Chinese nor Europeans have entered this area yet!

"The wood here is excellent, and it can be used to build a strong ship!" Wu Gong said.

"We may have to go back!" Wang Gui said.

"Go back?" Wu Gong was taken aback.

"It has been more than three months since we came out. The navy still has countless things to deal with. We can't keep exploring this continent! In short, no matter how big this place is, it belongs to our Great Song! Our Great Song The Yellow Dragon Flag has been planted on this piece of land, from now on we Song people can come and go here freely, and the barbarians and Jurchens here can also be regarded as Song people, we can go back now!" Wang Gui said.

"I still want to continue going north to see what is going all the way north!" Wu Gong said.

Wang Gui frowned, thought for a long time, and said: "Okay, you lead a thousand soldiers to stay and continue to explore this land, and see what goes all the way to the north! I will return to the naval base in Korea first!"

"Great!" Wu Gong couldn't help but cheered!

This time they brought out a total of 4,000 soldiers, and almost all of them wanted to stay here! Exploring the unknown is human instinct, everyone wants to see what else is in this land! Besides, there are almost no enemies here, they just need to go all the way forward!

Wang Gui was still worried, and in the end he left all 2,000 people here!

"Let's go! Let's move on!" At noon that day, Wang Gui returned along the original road, while Wu Gong pointed the sword in his hand forward and laughed.

*** ***

In Yanjing City, once again it is the season of autumn rain.

Zhao Chen is sitting in a side hall at the moment. This side hall is different from other palaces in the imperial court. It is extremely luxuriously furnished, but there is an indescribable sense of elegance in the luxury.

There are all kinds of treasures in the side hall, which are magnificent.

At this moment, the voice of reporting came from outside, and Zhao Chen agreed.

After a while, more than ten people walked into the side hall from outside.

These dozen or so people were all wearing strange robes, their stature was much shorter than that of the Central Plains people, and everyone had a humble expression on their faces.

They saw Zhao Chen sitting on the throne in front of them, and more than a dozen people knelt down together, bowing three times and nine times to Zhao Chen.

"The subjects of Dongying see His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty!" The dozen or so people said in unison.

It turned out that all these ten people were from Japan! Judging by their attire, most of them are Japanese Confucian scholars or Japanese nobles! There are also a few people who are dressed as Japanese warriors.

"Stay flat!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The dozen or so people stood up, the expressions on their faces became more humble, and at the same time, there was an indescribable excitement in the humility!

They came to the Central Plains for a study tour, and they did not expect to be received by the Emperor of Song Dynasty. For them, this is the highest honor.

"It's been a year or two since you came to Dasong from Dongying. What do you think of Dasong?" Zhao Chen laughed.

"The Great Song Dynasty has a vast land and rich resources, beautiful city construction, and order everywhere. This is the real celestial dynasty! In comparison, Dongying can only be regarded as a remote and rough village!" A Dongying man in his fifties praised.

"The culture and civilization of the Celestial Dynasty is far better than my Dongying! Especially after I came to the Celestial Dynasty, I saw all kinds of practical books. Now the Celestial Dynasty has begun to study various knowledge of agriculture, mathematics, engineering, business, and law. My Dongying Even Confucianism cannot be popularized now! The civilization of the Celestial Dynasty is a thousand years ahead of ours in Japan!" A Confucian scholar in Japan also said in admiration.

"This is the most prosperous and civilized place in the world. We all hope that we can become the people of the Celestial Dynasty and live in the Celestial Dynasty forever! In the Celestial Dynasty, even being an ordinary citizen is better than a territory of Japan!" A Dongying humane dressed as an aristocrat.

"If you are willing, I can grant you the status of the citizens of the Celestial Dynasty right now!" Zhao Chen laughed.

ah!

More than a dozen Dongying people stayed there for a while, and after a while, more than ten people knelt down together, all of them had expressions of extreme surprise on their faces.

"Pingshen!" Zhao Chen laughed.

The dozen or so people stood up again, with their heads bowed and their expressions seemed more respectful. In their view, they are already citizens of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course they should be more respectful when facing the King of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Dongying was originally a barren land. Thirteen hundred years ago, Xu Fu, the lord of the Central Plains, ordered alchemist Xu Fu to lead five hundred virgins and five hundred virgins overseas to search for the elixir. Instead of returning to the Central Plains, they went to Dongying! At that time, Dongying did not have any civilization, and Xu Fu spread civilization in Dongying, so there is only Dongying today! In fact, the current royal family of Dongying is after Xu Fu.” Zhao Chen thought for a while, and slowly Slow down.

"Your Majesty is right, I have heard such rumors too!" said the fifty-something Dongying Ren.

"This is not a rumor, but a real thing! It's just that Xu Fu is only an alchemist after all, and the knowledge he imparts is limited. For more than a thousand years, Dongying people have come to the Central Plains to learn culture and civilization. Still far worse! Dongpu is still very chaotic, not even as good as it was during the Warring States period in the Central Plains!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yeah! The Emperor of Dongying is just a puppet in the hands of powerful ministers. There are many lords in Dongying, and not many people obey the emperor's orders! People in Dongying don't understand civilization, don't learn culture, don't understand how big the world is, and don't know how powerful the Central Plains is. Prosperous!" said a Japanese nobleman deeply.

"I want to spread civilization to Japan, you are all from Japan, are you willing to help me?" Zhao Chen said.

"Spread to Japan? Dare I ask His Majesty how to do it?" the Confucian scholar who spoke before asked curiously.

"I will send troops to Dongying, establish a government in Dongying, and then build a school in Dongying to impart knowledge! From now on, Dongying will be as civilized and prosperous as Song Dynasty!" Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know how His Majesty will treat the Emperor?" a Japanese nobleman asked.

"The emperor will continue to enjoy the glory and wealth like the kings of Koryo and Dali! I have conquered the world and plan to gather all the royal families of the world together. Soon the National Assembly will introduce a bill to ensure the status of the royal families of the world." Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen's eyes swept over these Dongying people, and for a long time, only Dongying people said in unison: "I am willing to assist Your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "After Dongying is also returned to civilization, you will manage Dongying on my behalf!"

At the moment, the faces of the dozen or so Dongying people showed ecstatic expressions.

"Your Majesty, among the lords from all over Japan, there are many people who have long wanted to join His Majesty, and I can persuade them!"

"Your Majesty, we can persuade Confucian scholars and monks from all over Japan!"

The dozen or so Dongying people spoke one after another.

"Very good! You all need to return to Dongpu as soon as possible, and then just wait for our army to arrive!" Zhao Chen said.
