Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 310 First Arrive in Indonesia
And on the other side, above the distant sea!
Ships flying the Qin flag are drifting with the tide...

"There is land! There is land!"

Some crew members stood on the observation deck and looked up, Jing Wensheng, who was squatting in the ship box and wrestling with the crew members, rushed out quickly.

Thorn, sunburned and bare-chested, looks at the distant skyline, the gray lines that symbolize the land.

Far away, sporadic green can be seen.

"It should be there soon..." A smile appeared on Jing Hei's face.

"I hope so..." A crew member who was also shirtless on the side said.

Most of the people who follow Jing Yuanxing to explore the world are disciples of the Yin Yang family, elites who can read, read, and are proficient in various knowledge such as geography and astronomy.

It's just that after a long sea drift, few people can still retain the appearance of an elite.

The direct sunlight makes most people's bodies dark and shiny, and everyone gradually gets used to exposing their bodies to enjoy the sea breeze.

The panic and stress of not being able to see land for a long time also needs various simple and crude stimulations to relieve it.

Those with stronger concentration are still good, and those with weaker concentration are nothing more than those.

As the land gradually recedes, fights and gambling happen from time to time.

After all, in the final analysis, none of these so-called elites had the experience of ocean sailing. Compared with them, the performance of the crew who followed Zhao Si back from the sea was much better.

It's not going to be peaceful along the way...

There were more than one sea storm in the middle. Under Jing's skillful response, although no ship was scrapped due to this, the sailing route was completely deviated because of this, and the ship also needed urgent repairs before it could sail again, and some manpower was also lost.

Fortunately, the boat drifted to the vicinity of the island without sinking. There were hundreds of ready-made coolies brought from the bay and a lot of technical talents in the boat. The repair of the boat went smoothly, but it took a lot of time. relatively long.

The only good news is that there are indigenous people on the island where we drift.

They obtained fresh water and food supplies, and also captured a group of slaves to help them work.

Both men and women...

When leaving, Jing only took the female slaves with him.

This is a very real problem. The crew needs something to calm their uneasy mood. Compared with the difficulty, the indigenous opposite sex is not so difficult to accept.

After going through a lot of twists and turns, and tossing for a long time in the middle, it returned to the original channel, and the ship continued to head towards the Indonesian islands along the ocean current.

We have already been to Hainan Island, which is also a place full of indigenous people. The main purpose of Jing and his party was to explore the distant sea and collect various crops, so they only built a small stronghold on Hainan Island and left three Yin Yang disciples and After negotiating with the local aborigines, they set off again.

If the sailing is relatively smooth, Indonesia is actually not too far away. The main reason is that luck is not good, and there is a sea storm, which makes Jing delayed for a long time.

Fortunately, it's finally here...

As the ship got closer, Jing found that this was not land, but a small island.

"Moor in order and be careful when getting ashore!"

Jing gave the order, six ships docked one after another, and the crew landed and explored one after another.

But Jing's ship continued to berth above the sea and did not approach.

"The island is small and there are no natives, but there is a small lake." It didn't take long for the crew to come up and report the situation.

"There are islands nearby... I stood on the mountain and looked at it. It's not too far away."

"I found a small port here...and a few ruined rafts."

Jing silently summarized the information.

"No one lives, but there are traces of human activities. The island is also small, and it is unlikely to meet the conditions...the surrounding islands are dense."

Jing smiled and looked at the crew: "Dock for supplies, it seems we have found a place."

Indonesian archipelago...

It is impossible for such a small island to have native aborigines, and traces of human activities must have come from nearby moors.

Someone, it means that the land is not far away!

And it is.

After resting for a whole day on an unknown small island, Daqin's seven ships set off again.

The frequency of encountering islands in the middle is increasing, and there are more and more traces of human activities.

It wasn't until half a month later that Jing arrived for the first time on an island where there was obviously a human gathering place.

On the island, ports suitable for berthing ships can be seen faintly, and there are even small boats on the nearby sea to catch fish. On the coastline, sporadic activities of people can be seen.

"Ready to negotiate!"

Jing summoned the crew, and the ships gradually gathered.

In order to give the other side enough time to react without causing a disturbance, the sailing speed was very slow.

This is not Wanwan...

Since the Wanwan area was disconnected from the Central Plains, social development has been ridiculously slow. It was not until the connection with the Central Plains was reestablished that it gradually caught up with the pace.

The main reason is the problem of the strait. There is no difference between the strait between Wanwan and the Central Plains under the ancient navigation conditions and death. You must take other routes.

Therefore, Wanwan in this period is probably no different from Enclosure Zimeng.

But the Indonesian archipelago is different...

First of all, the area is much larger than that of Wanwan, so it naturally has the factors for the birth of culture.

Secondly, activities between the Indonesian archipelago are relatively frequent, and the distance from India is not too far. The most important thing is that the sea here is relatively safe.

Two centuries before the park, that is, when the Great Qin ruled the world.

With the increasingly frequent exchanges between the Indian mainland and the Indonesian archipelago, and the increase in external cultural exchanges, the Indonesian archipelago was also influenced by the Indian mainland, and the first slave country, Ye Tiaoguo, was born.

The location is probably around the modern islands of Sumatra and Java.

India is considered a big country no matter what, and it has a great influence on the culture of neighboring countries. Later, Ye Tiao was destroyed, Buddhism spread from India to Indonesia, and some Buddhist countries were born... Many stories, including the prototype of Buddhism, happened in Indonesia Islands area.

Oh, it is worth mentioning that, as the birthplace of Buddhism, India, Buddhism has been completely G. Instead, the filth has been reincarnated to other places, even to the Central Plains.

Of course, compared with Buddhism itself, Buddhism in the Central Plains can be said to be beyond recognition. After all, foreign teachers must go through localization when they enter the country.

Ancient history in general, and BC history in particular.

In fact, whether civilization is born in some places mainly depends on whether there is a serious main civilization in the surrounding area.

In this ascendant era, the emergence of most peripheral civilizations is actually influenced by the main civilization.

The more exchanges there are, the faster civilizations will be born. For example, the Gulf is separated by a strait, even if it is not too far from the Central Plains, it will still be in the age of primitive people for a long time.

"The purpose this time is mainly to enter India through Ye Tiao..."

Jing looked at the map, and recalled the explanation his brother gave him in his mind.

Sooner or later, Great Qin will have to deal with India. Whether it is from land or sea, comprehensive contact will be established.
