Chapter 763: Years of Sisterhood.
Chapter 763: Years of Sisterhood.
Ye Kun pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Our large sea ship weighs more than 100,000 jin and has steel plates and armor. What kind of wind and waves can damage our large ship?
Moreover, when we go to Nanyang, there are islands all along the way, connected front and back, so if we really encounter storms, we can stop at any time to ensure safety. "
The sailing route is scientifically planned.
There are indeed countless islands between Izu Island and the eastern South Pacific Islands, which are connected in a line and can be used as a springboard for navigation.
The naval advance team has built simple ports and temporary camps on these islands.
Ye Kun's route was to go to Izu Island first, and then go straight down to the South Pacific from the southern tip of Izu Island.
Theoretically, there are no typhoons in the first month of the lunar year, and there are islands along the way to rest, so safety is guaranteed.
Jiang Yourong nodded: "I can't do anything at home, I can only pray for the emperor."
The huge sailing fleet finally set off.
Dai Xi and Prince Ye Lesheng had received the news long ago and were waiting at Nanwan Port at the southern end of Izu Island.
Ye Kun's ship docked.
Ye Lesheng personally boarded the ship, bowed to his father, and choked up and said, "Father, it's been more than a year since I last saw you. I miss you day and night..."
"Good boy, you have grown up."
Ye Kun helped Ye Lesheng up and said with a smile, "Get off the boat quickly, I want to meet your mother."
Ye Lesheng nodded and helped Ye Kun get off the boat.
Dai Xi stood on the shore, bowed and saluted, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, I see you again."
"Don't cry, Queen Mother. Look who I brought here."
Ye Kun held Dai Xi's hand and said with a smile, "I will stay here for a few days and talk to you. And Jiaojiao and the others can play mahjong with you."
Ma Jiaojiao and others stepped forward to greet Dai Xi.
Dai Xi hugged Ma Jiaojiao and others, crying and laughing, excited and happy.
Years of sisterhood overflowed at this moment, surging like the sea.
Ye Lesheng smiled and said, "Don't be too happy, mother. Father is here with his concubines. We need to make arrangements for the reception."
Zhou Tielan smiled at Dai Xi and said, "Sister Dai Xi, you are now the landlord of Yizhou Island. Hurry up and take out all the delicious food!"
"Okay, I'll make sure to feed you today!"
With a big laugh, he led everyone to the small port town.
Ye Kun walked and looked around, and said to Ye Lesheng:
“Lesheng, your brothers, when they go to Southeast Asia, you must work together to open a long-term shipping route between Izu Island and the eastern islands of Southeast Asia.
Divide the islands along the route among you, and set up ports and logistics supply stations on all of them. This way, it will be convenient for you brothers to share what you have and help each other. "
There are many small islands between Izu Island and the eastern South Pacific Islands.
Ye Kun simply divided everything up and determined the ownership to prevent his sons from fighting in the future.
That night, Dai Xi, Ma Jiaojiao and others drank and played finger-guessing games without restraint.
Ye Kun called Ye Lesheng, Ye Pingsheng and others, divided the territory among them and drew the boundary line.
Also divide up each person's responsibilities.
After the division was completed, Ye Kun said:
"You brothers, swear an alliance tomorrow that your descendants will unite and not fight against each other. If you go against my words today, I will definitely curse you from my spirit in heaven!"
The brothers knelt together: "Father, we will warn our descendants from generation to generation. For thousands of years, we are all part of China. We must maintain the orthodoxy of China and unite as one!"
Ye Kun was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly.
In fact, Ye Kun knew that such an alliance and oath would be effective in the short term.
After one or two hundred years, it won't work anymore.
When the prince's descendants develop and become powerful in their own fiefdoms, they will covet the surrounding countries and islands.
But in the last hundred years, Ye Kun felt that there was no problem.
Because his descendants were busy building their own fiefdoms and had no power to wage war against other countries.
The next morning, several princes prayed to heaven and earth and swore again that they would help each other from generation to generation, build their own fiefdoms, protect the great Chinese nation, pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year.
Ye Kun rested on Izu Island for three days and also accompanied Dai Xi for three days.
Three days later, the sailing team set off again.
Ye Lesheng led his fleet and sent Baili Fang back.
The nautical chart is very detailed, and most of the small islands along the way are marked.
Seeing that the weather was good, Ye Kun ordered to advance at full speed.
After five days of safe sailing, we arrived at Luzon, the northernmost island in the eastern South Pacific archipelago.
However, it has now been renamed Dasong Island.
Lu Kaijiang, who stayed here, as well as the advance team soldiers and technical personnel, a total of more than 10,000 people, have built a very good base camp.
Lu Kaijiang personally led two thousand navy ships to go out to sea to welcome them.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "You can just stay at the port, why do you have to come to pick me up in person?"
"The Emperor has arrived, of course I have to greet him."
Lu Kaijiang clasped his fists and bowed, then boarded Ye Kun's boat, served as Ye Kun's guide, and introduced the situation here.
The big ship entered the port. Ye Kun took everyone off the ship and arranged for the port personnel to unload the cargo.
Civilian immigrants all have their own private property, which is clearly marked and not violated.
Lu Kaijiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this immigration is very large. Fortunately, our advance team brought a large amount of supplies. Otherwise, everyone would suffer."
Ye Kun nodded: "The most important problem for immigrants to come ashore is food and shelter. Once these two problems are solved, other things can be dealt with slowly."
Lu Kaijiang said: "We have built a transitional town 20 miles away from the port, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Food and accommodation are not a problem at all."
Ye Kun nodded, turned around to look at the large number of immigrants, clasped his fists and said:
"All soldiers, all Mohists, you must take good care of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the immigrant team. Some of you will stay at the port, and some of you will follow me to the small town to rest."
A batch of horses, mules, buffaloes and donkeys have been delivered to Dasong Island.
Everyone worked together to load the luggage into the car and followed Ye Kun to the small town.
After entering the city, Ye Kun looked around and was quite satisfied.
The town is built on high ground, far away from the tropical rainforest.
The houses all have stone foundations with bricks and tiles on top.
There were only a few houses, and a number of temporary military camps were built.
All bedrooms are equipped with mosquito nets and mugwort incense.
All the patients in the immigration team were taken to the hospital for treatment.
There are also hundreds of military doctors, carrying medicine boxes, who understand the health conditions of the immigrants one by one and provide psychological comfort.
There is a palace in the small town, which is prepared for Ye Kun.
Ye Kun carried forward his style and lived in a small house himself, leaving the palace to accommodate the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women and children.
Ye Pingsheng and Ye Dongsheng, who have become the masters of Dasong Island, are even more enthusiastic and busy.
Lu Kaijiang suggested: "Your Majesty, there are too many immigrants and the crowd is dense. I think some young people can live on the boat to avoid chaos."
Ye Kun nodded: "Half of the people here are immigrants from Datang Island. These immigrants will live in the port or on the ship. After we rest and get supplies, we will continue to set sail."
Ye Pingsheng said, "Father, you have worked hard on the journey. You should rest for a while before going to Datang Island."
Ye Kun shook his head: "No, the immigrants from Datang Island must be sent over as soon as possible to avoid chaos."
