    Countless seabirds flew across the sky and heard bursts of chirping. Groups of whales on the sea sprayed out strips of water, which dispersed like rain, forming patches of colorful colors under the reflection of the sun.  ¡Ê¨J The sea and sky are clear, and the grassland and jungles on the coast are intertwined, spreading endlessly to the horizon. The first batch of 10,000 people who were exiled to South China finally arrived at this destination after nearly two months of rough seas.  land.  Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, the seasons here are completely opposite to those in Daqin.  Summer is from December to February, autumn is from March to May, winter is from June to August, and spring is from September to November.  It is a scorching summer in Daqin at this time, but here in Nanhua Continent, you have to wear cotton-padded clothes.  Wang Guichen and his soldiers stood by the port, watching the mighty fleet entering the port, and couldn't help but cheer. This place is really far away from Daqin. Every time they see a ship coming, the soldiers  I was very excited, not to mention that such a huge fleet came all of a sudden this time.  ¡°To transport 10,000 exiled prisoners at a time, as well as their winter food, as well as cattle, horses, sheep, camels and other livestock, probably only the current Great Qin has such a delivery capability.  Along with the 10,000 exiled prisoners, there are also 500 army troops. The commander is named Dink, who is coming to replace Wang Guichen and the others.  Dink and the others will serve here for three years. After three years, the court will send another army to replace them.  Along the way, Dink has prepared for the worst and will live a hard life after arriving.  After entering the port, they discovered that not only was the port well-built, but there was also a decent-looking city built on the shore, and the size Oh my God, it was probably as big as Suzhou City.  On the high city gate tower, a large flag with the Chinese character Qin fluttering in the wind.  When Dink¡¯s soldiers saw this scene, they couldn¡¯t help but burst into cheers, echoing the cheers on the shore.  Even those who were exiled to South China couldn't help but cheer.  After landing on the shore, Dink greeted Wang Guichen warmly. After taking out the official handover document from the court and handing it to Wang Guichen, Dink said with emotion: "I thought this place was deserted. I didn't expect that General Wang actually built a  For such a huge city, General Wang is amazing." Wang Guichen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "To be honest with General Ding, only half of the west and north walls of this city have been built.  There is no time to build, and there are not many brick and tile houses in the city. Most of them are thatched houses General Ding, don't worry, your barracks are definitely tall and spacious brick and tile houses. As for the others, let them wait.  Just build it slowly." "But this city wall" "Don't worry about General Ding. One piece of silk is enough for you to recruit hundreds of natives as coolies. Don't tell me!  , These natives are really hard-working, running very fast on their bare feet, carrying stones weighing six to seven kilograms" Hearing that the barracks had been built, Dink felt a little relieved.  But I still feel a little bit cheated.  Well, Wang Guichen, the city wall facing the port is in good repair. Looking from the port, I thought the entire city had been repaired.  This is really a job that looks good on the outside and specializes in face-saving projects! ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and you made the city so big?  Just pat your butt and leave, isn't this going to tire us out?  Wang Guichen seemed to know what he was thinking, and then smiled and said: "General Ding, I won't let you build the city by yourself. Why are you anxious? There are many natives in Nanhua Continent. As long as you give them some benefits, you don't need to supervise them at all.  People work with a sense of self-consciousness. " "Really?" "I'll let you see it tomorrow, hahaha" This time, he was implicated in the conspiracy and was exiled to Nanhua Continent.  There were as many as 35,000 people.  These 10,000 people were only the first batch, including men, women, and children. After the ship approached, everyone disembarked carrying clothes, bedding, pots, pans, and other large and small bags; Water must be conserved on the ship. These people have not washed their faces in the past two months and are unkempt.  It looked very embarrassed. This was how Qin's colonization of South China began.  When you get here, you don¡¯t need to be guarded by soldiers. No one can escape anyway, unless you can swim across the Pacific Ocean.  After entering the city, except for the barracks where soldiers lived, most of them were thatched houses, but they were all very clean.  For those in exile, having a place to live with their families is extremely valuable.  After settling down, the rest was up to Dink and the others. On the third day, Wang Guichen couldn¡¯t wait to set sail, destination: Nanjing!  Homecoming is so urgent, the clipper ship's towering sails are fully bulged, and its sharp bow plows through the white waves as it gallops.  Along the way, Li Sangui, Mo Liang and others were discussing what kind of seal they would get after returning.?, after careful calculation, their contribution is really not small. They participated in the Luzon War, destroyed the Sulu Sultanate and the Balni State, and opened up South China.  What kind of reward will the emperor give for such a great achievement?  Because they were sailing downwind, Wang Guichen and the others spent 22 days returning to Luzon and stopping at Fusu Port; at this time, there were only 5,000 Qin troops stationed on Luzon Island, but there were 25,000 servants.  , are advancing into remote mountainous areas and expelling the indigenous people there. The men are sent back to Daqin to build roads, and the women are sent to work on military reclamation farms.  Today, young indigenous men are rarely seen on Luzon.  There are already a lot of Chinese here. In recent years, the imperial court has provided preferential policy guidance, and with the prosperity of trade routes, the number of merchant ships coming and going is very frequent, which has brought many business opportunities. Many people from provinces such as Guangdong and Fujian have voluntarily come to Luzon to buy property;  Now the total number of Han people is nearly 60,000, and most of them live along the west coast of Luzon Island. I heard that because there are not many indigenous men left, the goal of eliminating the indigenous people in Luzon has been basically completed, and the imperial court is already considering sending officials to govern them.  .  Wang Guichen and the others rested for a day in Fusu City. After replenishing food and water, they set off in a hurry. It took them nine days and nine nights to return to the estuary of the Yangtze River.  The waterway at Haijiangkou is very busy, with an endless stream of merchant ships going to Shandong, Beijing, Liaodong, Korea, Japan, Fujian, Guangzhou, Guangxi, Nanyang, India, Persia, and Africa.  , even heading to Europe; In the past few years, Daqin's various shipyards have been fully booked with orders, and a large number of ships are launched every day, especially fast clipper ships, which have become the mainstream of construction and maritime trade.  develop.  It is growing at an astonishing speed.  There are six to seven hundred merchant ships entering and exiting the Yangtze River Estuary every day. These merchant ships are not only from Daqin, but also from various countries.  This busy scene is absolutely unprecedented. Countless Daqin goods are usually sold to all parts of the world by sea, and then brought back with goods from other countries and a large amount of gold and silver treasures.  Just looking at the busy scene at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is not difficult to imagine how prosperous the empire is now.  When they saw the mouth of the Yangtze River, many soldiers couldn't help but throw themselves on the side of the ship, jumping and screaming, laughing.  The tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing down.     came back!  After traveling thousands of miles and thinking about it day and night, I¡¯m finally back!  Even Wang Guichen's eyes were blurry. The glory of the empire required soldiers to develop and sacrifice. However, living away from home for many years inevitably accumulated too much longing for the motherland and hometown. At this moment.  Wang Guichen even wanted to go to the shore and kiss the land in front of him.  As soon as they entered the mouth of the Yangtze River, the soldiers immediately carried buckets of Yangtze River water and drank it with their heads down, as if they were drinking sweet rain.  Such as drinking alcohol, and after drinking enough, buckets of wine are poured on the body, making the whole body wet, and then some people can't help but burst into tears.  Like a group of madmen, like a group of drunken madmen, crying and laughing.  Dancing and singing.  Give me a ladle of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water, that wine-like Yangtze River water.  The taste of drunkenness is the taste of homesickness. Give me a ladle of Yangtze River water, Yangtze River water.  Give me a palm of Begonia Red, Begonia Red, that blood-like Begonia Red.  The burning pain of boiling blood is the burning pain of homesickness. Give me a palm of Begonia Red, Begonia Red.  Give me a piece of snowflake white, snowflake white, the same snowflake white as the letter.  The waiting for that letter from home is the waiting of nostalgia, giving me a piece of white snowflakes.  Give me a flower of wintersweet, the fragrance of wintersweet, the fragrance of wintersweet like my mother.  That mother's fragrance is the fragrance of the country, give me a flower of wintersweet, wintersweet.  If you have never been on a long voyage, if you have never been in a life-and-death struggle with romance, if you have never experienced a narrow escape, you will not understand how sincere the soldiers' emotional expression is. They will not stay in front of the enemy even if they die.  A drop of tear, but when I returned from thousands of miles away and saw the land of my motherland, I couldn't help but feel my heart surge and burst into tears.  Wang Guichen and the others were so eager to return home. Originally, according to the arrangement of the court, they were supposed to rest in Zhenjiang for a night, take a bath, change into brand-new military uniforms, return to the imperial capital in a refreshed manner, and receive the emperor's commendation and the blessings of the people in the city.  cheer.  But they were so impatient that they didn¡¯t stop in Zhenjiang and went straight back to Beijing.  When they returned to the imperial capital, it was already dusk, and twilight was approaching on the river. Under normal circumstances, the city gates would be almost closed at this time. Wang Guichen and the others thought that no one would come to greet them, and they were inevitably a little disappointed.  However, when the boat arrived at Yanziji, I looked up and saw thatYan Zijitou suddenly saw a large umbrella with golden tassels, and a figure wearing a black dragon robe stood under the umbrella.  The figure stands high on Yanziji, with the setting sun shining slantingly, and the river wind blowing the black dragon robe. The soldiers and horses behind the tall figure are solemn.  "That's Your Majesty!" "That's Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty has come to greet us personally. Your Majesty is here" Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers on the ship were so surprised that they couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement.  They quickly stood up in military posture and paid the most solemn military salute to Yanzijitou from a distance!  "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ****************************** ps: Bow and thank China ~ Huangdi,  Hua Xiaoyun, "Crescent Moon", Ding Xuesong, Seven Color Pineapple Buns, Qiuqiu Husband, Ba Bajiejie, You Qing, Autumn Light, Lintian Wanzi, steel223, You airv, It's hard to name, firewindj, Yufeng  Seeking fate, Falling Leaves 89, Ancient City Idle Person, pi, Good Friends in the Battlefield, Can¡¯t Understand Sky, Meng Qingxi, Underwater Glacier, abc19791205, Yunfeng Wuhen, Sparrow Qianyuan classmates cast your precious monthly votes or  Tips, thank you all.  Sincerely seeking recommendation votes and subscriptions!  .(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
