The narrowest part of the Taiwan Strait is from Pingtan Island, Fujian to Hsinchu, and the straight line distance is about 130 kilometers.

This seemingly not far distance, but the seaway between them is a natural danger that is difficult to cross, and is called the "Black Ditch".

Heishuigou is commonly known as Penghu waterway.

The waterway in Penghu has the fastest flow rate, deep and bottomless, and the sea water is as color as ink, so it is called black water.

If you go from Xiamen to Taiwan, you must pass the "ocean";

If you choose to transfer in Penghu and go from Penghu to Luermen in Tainan, you must go through "Xiaoyang".

The ocean and the small ocean make it very difficult to cross the strait in the east and west directions. Moreover, due to the depth of the water, the sailboat must go down the wind and move quickly. If it does not have time to pass, it will be swept away by the current and lose its direction.

Therefore, there is: "Ten go, six die, three stay, and one turn back". About the average of ten people, six will die on the sea, only three can arrive safely, and the last one will turn around and give up crossing the sea.

Of course, this situation will not happen to Liangshan Army. Most of the ships that occur in this situation are small sampans manpower wooden boats, while Liangshan Army's ships are all large ships. When they cross the Black Shui Ditch, they rushed over in one breath.

The biggest trouble that Liangshan Army encountered was disease.

The warm and humid climate of the subtropical and tropical regions makes regional infectious diseases and terroir diseases more serious than those in the north.

Shortly after the Liangshan Army landed in Taiwan, one-third fell ill one after another.

Fortunately, Li Yan took Andaoquan everywhere he went, and all the troops in Liangshan had military doctors. Otherwise, the trouble would be great, and maybe more than half of them would be lost in one go. The key is that he could not take over the territory of Taiwan.

As soon as a large-scale illness occurred, Li Yan immediately asked Li Jun to go back and pick up Kong Hou and 500 doctors, and at the same time, he received a large amount of medicinal materials.

An Daoquan and Kong Hou joined forces to quickly control the condition and developed a special medicine.

At the same time, Li Yan was so angry that he set a fire on the vast plains in the west.

The fire burned for twenty-two days and burned thousands of square kilometers of white land on the island.

I don’t know if it was because of the fire released by Li Yan, the miasma on the white ground was not that powerful.

Later, Li Yan discovered that the local natives liked to bite the peninsula, and this thing seemed to have a certain effect on defending against miasma, so he forced everyone to chew betel nut.

In addition, Li Yan was forced to drink boiled water, and personally established a health system based on the knowledge plan of later generations, etc.

In short, despite the difficulties, the Liangshan Army finally gained a foothold in the land of Taiwan.

...

The future county town of Taiwan County.

While watching Tao Zongwang and Jin Dajian command the two largest military forces of the Liangshan Army to build Taiwan City, Li Yan said: "Jeju Island has just been built, so I will transfer you here to open up land. The conditions here are still so difficult... Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Wang Lun smiled and said, "I'm still afraid that my brother will let me stay on Jeju Island for the rest of my life."

Li Yan said with a stern face: "What's this? Most of the money and food we got from Goryeo were stored on Jeju Island before, so we naturally had to find a safe person to manage it. If not, I'll ask you to go to Seoul to take charge of me."

Wang Lun smiled and said, "I'm just joking... I've been on Jeju Island for a few years. My mentality is much better than before. My brother is the destiny of heaven. As long as I try my best to assist, I will have a day to shine my family and win the wife and children in the future."

Li Yan looked at Wang Lun for a while and saw that Wang Lun didn't seem to be making a false statement. He thought to himself: "Whether it is true or fake, unless I am doing my own death, my current status is no longer something that anyone can shake."

Li Yan said, "I will let my brothers have that day." After a pause, Li Yan said, "All the people in Penghu will move to Taiwan County, and then let Ou Peng and his amphibious army stationed in Penghu. Anyone who comes to Penghu will be sent to Taiwan County. It is necessary to keep it confidential and must not let Song know that we have occupied Taiwan County."

Wang Lun said: "I know the importance of it, so I will definitely not ruin my brother's major affairs."

Li Yan said: "Well... I will build this place as soon as possible. I will gradually move two million people to this place. I am going to make this place the second Goryeo."

After hearing Li Yan's words that he would move two million people and build this place into the second Goryeo, Wang Lun's eyes lit up. If this is the case, his status would never be below Wen Huanzhang!

Li Yan also said: "The southern region here has a tropical monsoon climate, which is very suitable for farming. If rice is grown here, there is no problem with two ripening a year, and it can even be ripening three ripening a year. If you build this place well, we will not be short of food in the future. In addition, this will be an important place for our foreign trade in Liangshan in the future. As for the military status here, I have told you before. In short, Taiwan County is very important, so your task is very heavy."

Although he didn't understand what tropical monsoon climate was, Wang Lun still said solemnly: "I must do my best!"

Li Yan said: "As for the local natives, try to make them integrate into us... If they don't integrate into us, then don't be ruthless, let alone ruthless."

The local natives have a very bad custom to make grass.

The so-called grass hunting custom is to kill a person and bring the head back and put it in the head of the family or tribe to show its achievements.

They cut off people's heads, not mainly for hatred or money, but for reasons that seem sacred from their perspective, such as worshiping ancestors, proclaiming adulthood, showing courage, exorcising diseases, etc.

The targets they make are often foreign races with no connections, so the large number of Han people often become the main victims.

You can't reason with such barbaric behavior, you can only give them two choices: either obey or die.

Anyway, these natives have only more than 10,000 people in total. If they don’t choose to merge, there is no way. Li Yan can only choose to kill and stop killing.

Wang Lun smiled and said, "Although I am a scholar, I will not be lenient when I kill someone."

Li Yanxin said this, and did not look at what Wang Lun did before, so Li Yan did not continue this topic, but instead changed the topic: "Xiao Jiasui has talent in the world. Please communicate with him more. After all, one person has a short plan and two have a long plan. In addition, you will draw up a list of required talents, and I will provide you with it as soon as possible."

Wang Lun replied: "Okay, I will discuss with Judge Xiao Tong in a while and give my brother a list as soon as possible."

Li Yan said: "I have too many things to do. I can't stay here for too long. At most, I have to leave for more than one or two months. Therefore, I have to rely on you here. In addition, there is no need to garrison here. I will leave the 5th Army, the 7th Army, the 8th Army, and the 12th Army of the Infantry Army of Penghu. In addition, the 11th Army of the Infantry Army of Penghu should be enough for you to deal with any emergencies. Also, you must establish a flying slave system as soon as possible. In this way, if you really can't handle the situation, I will send reinforcements to you as soon as possible."
