Huang Zhong asked, "Bo Fu, you mean we want to occupy this place?"
Sun Ce nodded after hearing this, and said, "We can build a few cities near the strait, and let the exiled criminals from Taiwei come to work and log to build cities."
"At the same time, we can build an overseas military base for our Western Fleet near here!"
Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan nodded their heads when they heard the words. They also agreed with Sun Ce's approach.
The idea is indeed interesting.
They are all experienced generals who are well versed in the art of war. Naturally, they can see the geographical superiority of the Strait of Malacca, not to mention that this place is so rich in materials... The only pity is that there are too few local aborigines and no labor force.
It seems that the city must be built from scratch, attracting exiles from the country or attracting a large number of cheap labor from places such as Tianzhu in the West to build the city first.
It can be said that in the near future, this place will become the most developed maritime trade place
Sun Ce named the Malali Strait as Haizhou Strait for later generations.
Sun Ce named Sumatra Island, which is located on the south side of the Malali Strait, as Rubber Island. After all, there are many rubber trees in this place.
The Taiwei Western Fleet stayed in the Haizhou Strait for many days.
Sun Ce ordered the soldiers to build camps and make preliminary preparations for the construction of military bases and rubber factories. In addition, he also sent several investigation teams to explore the inland of Rubber Island and the peninsula north of the strait.
Of course, in addition to these tasks, there is one more important task.
Sun Ce plans to set up a radio system in the Haizhou Strait that is sufficient to get in touch with Taiwei. This can be said to be a very critical deployment.
Otherwise, how would the court of Taiwei manage and supervise such an overseas enclave far away from Taiwei?
Among the Western Fleet... Youge Institute... Engineering Institute and communication experts from the Great Wei Science and Technology Department also brought enough equipment and tools.
However, with the existing technology, the wireless telegram of the Western Fleet cannot be sent directly to Wei.
Therefore, the Western Fleet must set up stations on some nearby islands, and use the Funan Kingdom as a relay to transmit the telegram to Luoyang.
The trouble is a bit troublesome, but the transmission is no problem.
The cost of doing this is not too high, and there is no need to send envoys back and forth in three days, which is very troublesome and risky, and the efficiency is ridiculously low.
"General, the casting of the camp has been completed, and various facilities have also been deployed!"
Cao Jun was very efficient and quickly set up a camp. This camp can not only accommodate tens of thousands of people, but also deploy four small power stations, which can be used to make batteries for telegraphs, or to energize some important areas.
In addition, the food storage area and the medical medicine storage area are all readily available, which meet the standards of the Wei military camp. In the future, it can be used as a basis to directly build a city.
The rubber island is very annoying. Fortunately, it is February, otherwise many soldiers would suffer from heat stroke.
Sun Ce had a lunch in the camp. The staple food was a few Shiqiu heavy prawns caught by his own soldiers in the sea. The taste was quite sweet and delicious, which shows that the nearby fishery resources are also well developed.
At this moment, the general Gan Ning ran over.
"The general found some natives."
It turned out that when the aborigines living in the coastal area came out to collect, they were discovered by the soldiers of the Wei army who went into the woods to investigate.
Sun Ce personally interviewed these people, and he found that these people were more barbarians than barbarians.
It doesn't matter if it's Funan country...Wo country...or the Hu people in the north...Although they are very backward, at least they are civilized.
But the people in this place are simply primitive people.
They are black and ugly, short and skinny, without any problems, and they don't know how to smelt. The weapons they hold are only sharpened spears, and they live by collecting wild fruits and catching fish and shrimp.
They had never seen an outsider, let alone Yibing of the Taiwei Empire, all of them were so frightened that they curled up trembling on the ground pale.
If Cao Ang is here, it can be judged that these should be the ancestors of the Malays, the Mala tourists living in Sumatra.
They did not establish a formal civilization until the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Nowadays, the Moluo tourists are only primitive aborigines and still maintain the most primitive, and the average life expectancy of the oldest tribe aborigines may be less than 30 years old.
Gan Ning was very disdainful of this, and then said: "The world wishes to have such ignorant people."
"They seem to worship the Taiwei soldiers as ghosts and gods."
"General, I don't know the number of these people. Do you want to send troops to pacify them all? So as not to cause trouble for us in the future."
Sun Ce heard the words, and then said: "There is no need for this at all. With their equipment and abilities, it is impossible to pose a threat to my Taiwei!"
"We have a serious shortage of labor on the rubber island. It is better to gather them to cut down trees and build camps for us."
Sun Ce is not an ordinary famous general, he has the talent of a hero, and he looks at problems from a different angle from ordinary people.
Chapter 753: Indigenous Enemies
Faced with such a situation, although Wei Yan, the general of the Great Wei Empire, felt a little too nervous, he also knew that if he backed down from this matter, these beasts would definitely rush forward and kill them all. Divided.
Under such circumstances, Wei Yan naturally would not let such a thing happen, and then he could clearly see that Wei Yan roared angrily at the three heads in front of him.
In such a scene, no one thought that the soldiers of the Great Wei Empire who came here with Wei Yan were also deeply shocked after seeing such a scene.
Yes, the roar of General Wei Yan was really shocking, even more shocking than the roar of the beast in front of him.
Not only the group of them, but even the three lions who were confronting them trembled in fright after seeing Wei Yan's situation.
It is estimated that these three beasts did not expect that they just wanted to fill their stomachs, but they were killed by this very weak man in front of them.
Looking at their companions lying on the ground, the remaining three lions all lowered their heads one by one, and then ran towards the jungle behind with their tails between their legs.
Ran away!
With his own strength, Wei Yan directly beheaded four black lions and ran away three. Such a battle, such a feat, is simply shocking.
At this time, after seeing the three black lions fleeing, Wei Yan relaxed his vigilance a lot.
Regarding them, if they insisted on attacking just now, then Wei Yan would have only one result, and that would be death!
Fortunately, these black lions don't know what psychological warfare is, they just instinctively think that Wei Yan in front of them is very strong and they can't beat them.
After seeing all the black lions fleeing, Wei Yan also hurriedly dragged the soldiers who were attacked by the black lions to the back, trying to stay away from the jungle.
The attack this time was something that no one had thought of, and everything came out of the blue.
Under such circumstances, Wei Yan was the only one left in the search team.
Earlier, seven or eight soldiers were directly killed by those black lions, and the next five or six soldiers could not be rescued because of their serious injuries.
Wei Yan looked at the soldiers lying on the ground, feeling very angry and sad.
