"Has Mr.
Chu ever been on a boat?"
Lieutenant Chen Tang is the Marquis of Guannei, the son-in-law of the hussar general, with the dowry of Princess Zhaosu, sitting on three large cities, and is one of the best lords in the palace of the poisonous capital.But he was not proud of this, and kindly invited Chu Shaosun to accompany him, but asked such a question when he boarded the ship."
I've sat on it."
Chu Shaosun looked down, aren't they on the boat now?
He had spent several days on a boat from Punjab to Sindh and had gotten used to vertigo.Chen Tang shook his head: "I'm talking about sea ships."
I heard that Mr.
Chu is from Yingchuan, did he see the sea before he came to poison?
”Chu Shaosun said that he had seen it when he was studying in Donghai County.Chen Tang said: "Since Mr. has been to Langya, how is Langya compared to Taibaigang?"
I've heard that since the establishment of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, some people have found a shortcut to set sail directly from Langya to the Wajima Tai Kingdom.It is said that the island is full of silver mountains, following the jade panning in the Western Regions, and the gold panning in Lishui in the south, the Central Plains began to clamor for silver panning again, and there are countless Qilu people who crowd in the east of Langya Wharf every year. ”"Most of them went with great expectations, and finally returned empty-handed, and they couldn't even make up enough money to go back to their hometown."
Gao Wutong, who was deeply affected by it, interjected, and he had no good impression of the work with Tao characters."
Langya is not as lively as Taibaigang."
Chu Shaosun replied, this is the truth, Langya is a typical Han-style city, and the wharf is only a little at the foot of Langya Mountain.But Taibaigang straddles the delta of the Poison River, and the waterways outside the city make it easy to travel by boat, and some residents even live on the water, building houses on rafts with palm fronds and trees.There were no less than 100 boats on the river, and bamboo baskets were tied to both sides of the boats, filled with all kinds of goods, including dried fish, spices, fruits, and vegetables, and they were far away from the passing boats, only far away from their big ship with the white tiger flag."
Don't look a little shabby, but for us, Taibaigang means that there is one more way home."
When he finally sailed into the water gate of Taibai Port, Chen Tang sighed: "I came late, and when I arrived at the body poison, the Poppy Bin had been calmed, and the Great Xia had also fallen, leaving only the southern Wuyi Mountain to leave the service, but this country was strong and strong, and the ministers belonged to rest, and the whole body was moved, and the general prepared for several years to attack.""
At that time, it was a long way to go back to the Central Plains from the poison, and it took nearly a year for my husband to go one way, so some people wanted to find a direct road from Kashmir, a country north of Zongbin, to Khotan, which could save thousands of miles.""
However, it is difficult to navigate the country, the roads are difficult, the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the peaks and peaks are steep.The hussar general sent people to explore, and found that the wind and snow continued in the four seasons, and the snow was frozen in the hottest part of summer, and the snow filled the valley all year round."
The place called Panshihan has a narrow road of six or seven inches, and an elder of thirty miles.In the unfathomable depth, the walkers ride and hold each other, the ropes lead each other, more than 2,000 miles are to the suspension pass, and the cattle team with them have fallen into the pit and valley before the distance is broken.There are also mountains of big headaches and small headaches, red soil, and hot bodies, which make people hot and colorless, headaches and vomiting, and donkeys and animals are all right. ”"The north is not passable, only to the south, so there is a southern expedition, which is why there is this port."
Chu Shaosun could hear that Chen Tang had a lot of feelings for this harbor he had personally laid, and at this time, the boat sailed to the vicinity of the city building, and Chen Tang let Chu Shaosun rest here, and he had official business to do.In a hurry to see Chen Tang not there, Gao Wutong was in the hall and told Chu Shaosun in detail how Captain Chen made his fortune."
Captain Chen did come later than us.Gao Wutong was still convinced by this Hou Lang Lieutenant: "He also participated in the battle to destroy Wuyi Mountain, and he did not make great contributions, but the hussar general summoned him after hearing his name, praised his words and deeds, and promoted him to be a personal guard, and took him with him for a year." ”"At that time, the Hussar General wanted to select a group of military officials to form a maritime boat division together with the merchant ships from Xuwen Port in Hepu County."
Most of the jade workers are inland, so no one answers.Although I had survived the boat back then, I knew that the sea was dangerous, and I wanted to live a good life, so I was willing to take risks in the wind and waves."
Only Chen Tang stood up, claiming to be a native of Shanyang County, who has been fluttering in Onozawa since he was a child, and he is very watery.So the hussar general let him board the ship, and although Chen Tang vomited and fainted on the ship, he still held on.He trained with merchant ships, day and night, and after a few days he was able to stand firm on deck and shoot his bow. ”"As a result, at this time, a ship collided, and Chen Tang accidentally fell into the water, and everyone knew something."
Chu Shaosun said: "What's the matter?"
”Gao Wutong said with a smile: "He doesn't know how to water, he almost drowned, what do you say that in Onozawa, he has practiced water since he was a child, and he actually deceived the hussar general!"
”"Isn't that a punishment?"
Gao Wutong shook his head: "Chen Tang pleaded guilty to the general, and said that Bowang first set foot in the desert and didn't know the distance; Zhongjie sent an envoy to the Huns, nor did he foretell the cold of the North Sea; People are not born to be good at water, and they are all acquired.The general gave the soup another three days, and the soup will definitely be able to be flexible in the water!
”"It turned out that for the past half month, he had been secretly going out after dark to get used to water, and the general gave him another three days.Chen Tang practiced in the sea every day after eating, and was almost swept away by the waves after several degrees of exhaustion, but after three days, he was really able to swim in the shallow sea. ””The general was surprised, so he asked Chen Tang to make meritorious contributions, and sent him and a dozen ships formed by the capture of Wuyi Mountain's Liguo Boat Division to go to the seaside islands to sweep away the remnants of Wuyi Mountain, and won a complete victory.Don't look at Chen Tang as a white-faced scholar, but he knows the art of war, and he is quite talented in commanding battles, and since then he has become a favorite general under the command of hussars."
This is indeed a capable, ambitious and courageous fellow, he is brave and thoughtful, scheming, and happy with his feats, and every time he passes the mountains and rivers of the city, he often climbs the record.At present, the Protectorate occupies the entire territory of the northern body poison.The western body poison and the middle body poison are dozens of small states that are fragmented; Dongshen poison is the inheritance of the two dynasties of the Peacock and Xunjia dynasties of the Gan Po Kingdom and the ancient kingdom of Kalinga; It is said that there are 30 cities, 100,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, 1,000 elephant troops, and at the end of the peninsula is the country of Zhulin, and there is also an island in the southernmost part of the subcontinent, Sri Lanka.Almost all of these countries that rely on the sea have been swept away by Chen Tang.Gao Wutong said: "First, Taibai Port opened a route to Ptolemaic Egypt in the west, and originally Westerners and merchant ships mostly went to Gujarat, India, to trade in the west of the poisonous Su Thorn country.When the country of Suzhutuo is the road to the West Sea, everyone is the benefit of the sea, and the sale is the industry, and the trade is not moved.Now I heard that there is silk for sale in Taibai Port, and they all come here. ”"Su Tingtuo country is not happy, relying on the desert and sea barrier, thinking that the Han can not come, Yuankang three years, send a boat division to pretend to be a sea robber to plunder, Chen Tang is outnumbered, the thief is overseas, defeated, Su Jiantuo country then towards the capital to protect the house, dare not fight for the route again, this is his first battle.""
Because the road of faith and virtue to the east is a great desert, to go to the west body poison, south body poison, east body poison, only the waterway is the most convenient, and the Han southern boat to the capital to protect the house, also have to pass through three places.There are many pirates in the southern poison injection country, and they plunder merchants across the sea.During the Yuankang period, the general ordered Chen Tang to ask for it.In the first year of Liuhe, Chen Tang asked people to pretend to be merchants, attracting the Zhu Yuan State to send troops to pursue, and then rode the wind with a boat division, defeated Zhu Yuan in one fell swoop, and captured more than ten ships."
There is an island in the south of the country, and there is a lion country on the island, and the Han ships must enter the port and dock after passing by, but they are extorted by the lion king.In the second year of Liuhe, the general ordered Chen Tang to go to ask for the guilt, and Chen Tang directly took as many as 100 boats, landed and seized a port in the Lion Country, forcing the Lion King to cut the land and pay tribute. ”These are the three battles that allowed Chen Tangjin to seal the Inner Marquis, and the navy of the Imperial Protectorate has grown from scratch to strength.However, from Gao Wutong's narration, Chu Shaosun heard a little sour.The next day, Chu Shaosun understood why Gao Wutong was in a complicated mood when he talked about Chen Tang and Master Zhou's merits.But it was because Chu Shaosun tried to inquire more about local rumors with the little officials in this building, but it didn't matter if they didn't talk, as soon as they spoke, the two sides found that they were both yellow-skinned and black-eyed, and they didn't understand the language!
After babbling for a long time, Chu Shaosun could only give up.This is not an isolated case, out of the building, in this Han people inhabited in the heart of the island city around the circle, talking to people, found that most of the chickens and ducks speak, this group of people's dialect is obscure, and they can't speak Chang'an Yayan.After Gao Wutong woke up, he saw Chu Shaosun who was returning in a huff, and said with a smile: "Most of them are people from Jingchu, and there are even Ou people, Yue people, Mr.
Yingchuan people, if you can understand, it will be strange!""
It turned out that because of the summer heat in the Sindh area, the jade diggers were reluctant to settle here.Most of the local Han immigrants were southerners who came with Xu Wen's merchant ships after the opening of the sea route, and they heard that the Han people could be masters when they were poisoned, and the Ouyue people also approached by virtue of their appearances and came pretending to come.They were accustomed to the hot and humid environment, and their food was rice, rice, soup and fish, and they were indeed very adapted to the climate of Taibai Port."
Have you heard that, sir?
Latecomers prevail!
It's this group of southerners. ”The disdain in Gao Wutong's tone appeared again, and the regional discrimination of the Han Dynasty is still effective overseas, because of the relationship between accent and living habits, it is normal for people in different regions to hold together separately.In addition, the navy joined by Jing Yang and the Yue people, under the leadership of Chen Tang, fought almost every year, and often won big victories.On the other hand, the army composed of jade workers, although the hussar generals occasionally took them to conquer the disobedient country, but they were all petty fights.What made the old army of Taoyugong even more unhappy was that thirty percent of the annual income of the Duhu Mansion was used by the general to expand the navy and merchant fleet, recruit locals who were familiar with water as sailors, and spend money to hire seafarers in the southern coastal counties of the Han Dynasty."
Most of the taxes are paid by us, but they fatten the doves of the south."
Gao Wutong scolded and scolded, very unconvinced.They also asked Captain Wang Feng and others to lobby the hussar generals to launch a big war against Gan Po and Baicheng, who had not yet paid tribute to the Han.But the general had no interest in continuing to expand his territory, and for ten years, Ren Hong's eyes had always been overseas.It is rumored that the hussar general has been alchemy recently, and frequently sent Chen Tang and others to the sea, perhaps to go overseas to find the Queen Mother of the West who is said to be in the west of the Great Qin Tiaozhi County, above the weak water, in order to seek immortality!
Chu Shaosun recorded the dispute between the north and the south, the dispute between sea and land, and in the afternoon, Captain Chen Tang sent someone to summon him, saying that the date for going to sea had been set, and he could go to see the fleet with him today.Leaving the city of Hexin, where the Han people gathered, he came to the vast sea where the Delta of the Shenzhi River merges.I don't know if it's an illusion, Chu Shaosun only feels that this tropical sea is indeed bluer than the one he has seen in Donghai County, not a dark blue, but a light blue like indigo mixed with milk, although it is the middle of winter, the sun is shining, and it looks very comfortable.The port was somewhat busy, and in addition to the Han merchant ships coming from the long coastline in the south, there were many large ships gathered together and busy loading goods.There were hundreds of them, and the monsoon was coming, so they had to be prepared to go west, bypassing the Sabbath and trading directly with Ptolemaic Egypt, so that they could make a lot more money.Chu Shaosun didn't know how to ship, and he could see that the shape of the sea boat was quite different from the boat on the Shenzhi River and the Han boats, but he couldn't say why."
Mr.
Chu, do you know water?"
Chen Tang suddenly asked such a question, which made Chu Shaosun not know how to answer, and even worried about this voyage, so he only replied: "Swim in the Peixian River." ”"That's not really going to happen, only when you get the sea can you show the quality of the water."
Chen Tang shook his head, thinking that he didn't drink less seawater back then.As he spoke, the ship circled the cape, and Chu Shaosun saw hundreds of warships moored here in the bay that curved like the crescent moon, with a shipwreck, a large wing weighing thousands of materials, a middle wing of 500 materials, and a small wing of 300 materials, all of which hung the white tiger flag representing the protection of the poisonous capital.The sails fell, and the fleet was like a flock of floating white geese, and there was no movement, but this scene had already shocked Chu Shaosun, and in a few days, he was going to follow them to the west and go to an unknown country?
Chen Tang introduced: "Since Mr.
Chu wants to write history, then write it down, the boat master in front of you is invincible and invincible, and the great Sima Hussar General personally named it "West Sea Fleet!"
