At this time, Doctor Yu, who was originally just here to deliver pills to Mao Geng, interrupted:

"It is recorded in the book that the Northern Wei Dynasty once sent people to the Heiyi Island north of Japan to seek whale oil. I wonder if that Heiyi Island is the island referred to by Chief Executive Mao."

Mao Geng didn't expect that Hokkaido was famous for whaling before the Tang Dynasty. He was quite curious about how much the old man knew, so he smiled:

"I guess it's this island. Can Mr. Yu tell me other records about this island?"

Doctor Yu stroked his beard and smiled slightly, and said slowly:

"When I was young, I liked to read the history of the previous dynasty and read a lot of unofficial history notes. Whenever I was amazed at the civil and military achievements of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was like this Emily Island. During the Han Dynasty, it should be under the jurisdiction of the Han and Liaodong counties. During the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, the Emily people came to pay tribute and received the enthronement of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, Emily Island was under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate. The only records about Emily Island that I know about are the only ones."

Mao Gengxin said you already know a lot.

Are these facts! Let’s use the counter-proof method to reason. If the Celestial Empire had not covered the Hokkien Island, the Japanese would have occupied the Hokkien Island long ago. It is unimaginable that they could have waited until the end of the 16th century. In this way, the reason why the Japanese were not occupying the Hokkien Island for a long time was probably due to the Celestial Empire! At the end of the 16th century, Japan and the Celestial Empire had turned their faces and then seized the Hokkien Island. In this way, what PhD Yu said may be a historical fact. In this way, what a small Diaoyu Island in later generations is worth fighting for! The relevant departments should just declare righteously and sternly: Hokkaido has been ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, our hands were indeed stretched long enough in the past.

Looking at Han Tuozhou's surprised look, it should have been unheard of before. Han Tuozhou was completely looking up to Doctor Yu at this time, but in fact Mao Geng was the same. Han Tuozhou couldn't help but sigh:

"Is this really the case? Mr. Yu shouldn't have heard of it?"

Doctor Yu smiled bitterly:

"These are indeed recorded by predecessors, and are definitely not fabricated by old people. It's just that the source is a bit remote, so Lord Han may not have paid attention to it."

Mao Gengxin said that the old Chinese medicine doctor in front of him was actually a member of the party's examination in the past. When he was young, he was obviously an angry young man! The scholars of the Song Dynasty were in such an era of weak military power, which was really a bit sad and pitiful. They could only admire the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties. When looking back on history, they dreamed of a strong country. Alas! Most of the scholars of the Song Dynasty had the complex of opening a map to open a border and making a strong country. The young man surnamed Yu was probably this type of person. Haha!

Han Tuozhou picked up a pencil casually, wrote two words "Xia Yi" on a piece of paper, and then asked:

"Is it the word "Xia'an"?"

Damn! Han Tuozhou simply imagined the indigenous people on the island as the Chinese clan who moved overseas in China, Xiamen Island! Haha! Han Tuozhou's imagination is really rare!

"In the literature I read, there are two words "Xia Yi", "Xia Yi" of shrimp, and "Xia Yi" of barbarians. I think the Esai Yi people have no words, but there are languages. Could it be that they originally mean "Xia Yi". The translator only said that since this Esai Island is smaller than Japan, but the place where shrimps live, they mistakenly translated "Xia Yi" into "Xia Yi". Today, Koreans wrote the word "Xia Yi". I think that maybe it is the original truth."

Good! I didn't expect that Doctor Yu was so old that he still held an angry youth complex and sang to the middle-aged angry youth Han Tuozhou, and inadvertently divided Hokkaido into the territory of the Celestial Empire.

Han Tuozhou obviously entered the role and said:

"In this way, this Xiayi Island has been my territory of China since ancient times. Now it is lonely overseas. We should make suggestions to the court and sending personnel to Xiayi Island is the right thing to do."

Hello, I said, why did you two go off topic as you said, I didn’t mean that at all. I mean, first, be strong, and then take it. But if you say that, Han Tuozhou probably won’t accept it for the time being, so let’s change the word:

"This Emily Island has been my Chinese territory since ancient times, and this is certainly good. However, I have cut off contact with the Emily people for two hundred years in the Song Dynasty, and the Emily people have no words. I am afraid they don't remember the major events in history that they had attached themselves to the Celestial Empire."

When he saw Han Tuozhou nodding slightly, his expression changed from excitement to depression, Mao Geng changed his tone:

"Mr. Han, whether it is Xiayi Island or Xiayi Island, whether the indigenous people there recognize the Celestial Empire or not, just drive the ship and occupy a piece of land. It is said that the Hokkien Island is twice as big as Taiwan Island, but the climate is a little harsh, but the sea area is really a super fishing ground, which is really not to be missed. Look, the Northern Wei Dynasty was rich in whale oil. I dare to guarantee that as long as I get there, I will definitely make a profit and not lose money. How can I miss such a transaction?"

"But if the Xia people do not recognize the Celestial Empire, we cannot send large troops to conquer. There is thousands of miles away from our Song Dynasty. If you go rashly, you will have no support. How can you gain a foothold?" Han Tuozhou knew that the current emperor's foreign policy was to shrink rather than expand, and it was an exception to accept Taiwan. Don't expect the support of the official to occupy the place that eight poles could not be hit.

When Mao Geng saw that Han Tuozhou was not a blind reckless person! Yes! As a generation of powerful ministers in history, he would not be a fool! He could be inferior to one person and overwhelmingly over the government and the country, of course he had political wisdom. History is also suspicious to beat Han Tuozhou into a treacherous minister. Han Tuozhou just wanted to complete the great cause of unification that could not be accomplished by the Song Dynasty. Perhaps he should not be misled by the "Dream of a Strong Country" in his heart, and even more so, he overestimated the military value of the Song Dynasty. That's all!

Since working with Han Tuozhou, Mao Geng felt that at least Han Tuozhou was not bad to him, and no one was perfect, so it was normal for some problems. For such a person who was so idle and fond of meddling in other people's business, Mao Geng decided to continue to guide:

"I mean, if you can, you can occupy it, if you can't, you can rent it. Lord Han, Jiang Kui is in Annan, and is discussing the land rent with the King of Annan. He is expected to rent 20,000 acres, and once you rent it for a hundred years. I think if Lord Han sends a boat to Heiyi Island, he can handle it accordingly. In short, if you can, you can occupy it, and if you can rent it, you can rent it. Anyway, the territory of Heiyi Island is very large, and the indigenous people there may not make things difficult for the tenants from afar. Do Lord Han agree?"

Jiang Kui discovered a very shallow coal mine buried in a bay near Guangxi in Annan. Han Tuozhou also heard about this. Of course, it is not as detailed as Mao Geng’s grasp. After two or three days, there will be pigeons sending letters to Chameng and Annan. However, unlike the pigeons sending letters in the Song Dynasty, Mao Geng’s pigeon system transmits password letters. Mao Geng claims to be a commercial secret and must keep the secret in the message. It is imagined that once the information of the super coal mine is leaked, things like the concession may be ruined.

Well, "concession" is a way.

"You mean, let's drive a fleet and rent a concession with the Aboriginal people of Xiayi Island?"

Han Tuozhou has never heard of the legend of the Dutch who exchanged fourteen pieces of cloth for large land with Taiwanese natives in later generations, nor has he heard of the Indians who welcomed the immigration of the British "May Flower", so he was a little unsure, which is not surprising.

But Han Tuozhou did not have this knowledge, and Mao Geng was familiar with it. In fact, except for the territory of a kingdom with smooth government orders, most of the indigenous people on this era were in the primitive tribal era. As long as they have enough courage, hundreds or thousands of people could gain a foothold in a strange territory.

Mao Geng believes that Han Tuozhou may not be a suitable candidate to unify the Central Plains, but it is undeniable that Han Tuozhou is also very talented after all. So, letting him lead overseas colonization should have a promising future. The combination of maritime trade and colonization was once very outstanding in the era of sailing in history. Could it be that Han Tuozhou is not as good as those European governors and other guys!

"I mean, it's best to buy land, just like the demolition compensation in Taiwan. If it doesn't work, then rent it. If it's 100 or 200 years, it's a BOT strategy. I believe the Estoman will be very welcome."

When Mao Geng thought of the case in Hong Kong in later generations, a "BOT" appeared accidentally. Then he thought of saying it. Although Hong Kong is an illuminated model of implementing "BOT" - construction (Build), operating (operate), and transfer (transfer), it is obvious that he is playing the piano for Han Tuozhou.

"Biwuti?"

Oh no! How do you explain this shocking "Biwudi"?

"I mean, Emi Island has been my Chinese territory since ancient times, which is not bad! Emily, but even relatives will become unfamiliar if they do not interact for a long time. Therefore, it is normal for the Emirati people to not recognize the Celestial Empire. At this time, you must first avoid their sharpness and treat them with courtesy, and then sleep on firewood and taste gall, and in time, you will eventually be able to practice the way for heaven."

Han Tuozhou seemed to understand:

"It turns out that it is 'avoid, lie down, replace', Mao Geng, don't be so careless about words in the future, okay? It's not good to make people guess. But the three words 'avoid, lie down, replace' also make some sense."

"So, did Lord Han decide to send a boat to Heiyi Island?"

"You say that, if you occupy it first, if you can't, rent it. There is also 'avoid, lie down, replace'. You see, you have already thought about the strategy, it's good! It looks very feasible. Moreover, the most fundamental thing is that this Xiayi Island has been my Chinese territory since ancient times. If I don't want to say it's swaying, it's fake! But you have to tell me what's so wonderful about this whale and whale oil? Is it really valuable to be valued by Mao Geng?"
