Li Guoliang seems to have a draft, and he speaks unhurriedly, but his words are correct and round, and he seems to be an authentic Beijinger. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and when he speaks, his eyebrows are slightly raised, his eyes are smart, and he can see that he is a person with jumping ideas.

"I think Captain Cao's plan is very thorough and executed, and I only have a small addition. We can't yet tell what happened to the missing research ship, but one thing is for sure, it was so sudden that it didn't even have time to send a distress signal. In this case, I suggest that we prepare a small boat of several tens of tons, load it with some supplies and equipment, drag it behind the big ship with a rope, and keep a distance of several hundred meters from the big ship. ”

I must admit that Li Guoliang's supplement is more meaningful than Cao's original plan, which seems to be a conservative approach, but in fact solves the difficulties of the previous disappearance, and there are no witnesses. No one can describe what happened to the missing ship, so there is no specific solution, so no matter how careful and bold the plan is, there is a lot of risk. And Li Guoliang's real idea is actually to use the big boat as bait and use the small boat to observe, if the big boat is sacrificed, and the truth of the disappearance can be learned through the small boat, at least it will lay the foundation for the future work.

Li Guoliang's thoughtfulness makes me have to be impressed.

Everyone agreed with this supplement, so we stayed at the port for one more day, and Lao Chen of the Water Affairs Bureau went to transfer a small patrol lifeboat of more than 100 tons, and when the boat came, Li Guoliang had already discussed with Cao's team, separated some supplies and equipment from the big ship, and began to transport them to the lifeboat.

But before we set off, something happened that we didn't expect.

The large boat that the water board prepared for us was requisitioned from the water repair and transportation company, and was accompanied by more than a dozen crew members from the transportation department, most of whom were fishermen and boatmen from the neighborhood. On the day of departure, the crew asked to do a ritual to worship the god of the lake before they could set off. Lao Guo also said to the Cao team that this is a custom that has been maintained by local fishermen for thousands of years, and it is better to respect their habits. Since Lao Guo expressed his position, Team Cao didn't say anything more.

The crew bought a pig, a chicken, and a duck, set up a simple altar on the ship, set up an incense burner, hung a cloth flag, and the captain put on the local dark robes, respectfully offered incense, and recited words in his mouth. Everyone sang and danced around the sacrifice, and then the sacrifice was slaughtered, and the blood was sprinkled into the lake. It is said that the offerings are thrown into the lake when they reach the center of the lake.

I watched the sacrifice from the sidelines, and asked Lao Guo, who was standing next to me, what was the lake god that the crew was worshipping?

I didn't expect that Lao Guo's conversation box couldn't stop as soon as it was opened, and it was until we got on the boat and headed for the center of the lake. Lao Guo told me that there are many ways to say the lake god of Poyang Lake, and there are many lake temples preserved in the counties on the shore of the lake, but the images enshrined in the temples are also strange and different, which is very rare in other river gods, lake gods, and mountain temples in the country.

One theory is that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, a separatist force in the south, fought here for 18 years. Zhu Yuanzhang's boat also caught fire when it fled, and it was about to sink. Everyone had nothing to do, and Chen Youliang's boat gradually approached, and at the critical moment, a big turtle suddenly floated up in the lake, the size of half a boat. Zhu Yuanzhang was frightened, but the turtle told him that the destiny of heaven was in the Zhu family, and it was the divine turtle sent by the heavenly court to rescue him and escort him ashore.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his men climbed on the back of the turtle, and the turtle sent them to the other side, escaped Zhu Yuanzhang, who ascended to heaven, regrouped, and finally took perfect revenge in Poyang Lake two years later, defeated Chen Youliang in one fell swoop, and finally unified the north and south. Zhu Yuanzhang, who sat on the dragon chair, has never forgotten the big turtle that has the grace of saving his life. Feng Da turtle as the god of the lake, built a temple of the old man five times a year, more than 200 years has never been interrupted. Most of the shipwrecks in Poyang Lake over the past few hundred years have also occurred in the waters facing the Lao Ye Temple. In this statement, the lake god is not a human, but a turtle.

Another theory is that after Liu Banglihan ascended the throne, he was afraid that the generals who would fight the world together would support the army and rebel, so in the seventeenth year of Gaozu, on the grounds of intent to rebel, he successively killed the two different surnames Wang Hanxin and Peng Yue that he had sealed. At that time, Yingbu was named the king of Jiujiang by Liu Bang, and his fief was in the area of today's Poyang Lake. Yingbu was worried that he would be the next Han Xin and Peng Yue, so he simply preemptively attacked and raised troops to rebel. However, the rebellion was quickly suppressed, and after being captured in the Anglo-Bu rebellion, it was also shown to the public, and its head was thrown into Poyang Lake.

But since then, at the turn of spring and summer every year, the fishermen in the lake always see a huge glowing hideous human head floating up from the bottom of the lake at night, and the souls drowned in the lake under the lake will follow around this head, and the water surface within a radius of several miles will reflect a little phosphorus fire, which is terrifying. If you don't make sacrifices at this time, throw some cattle and sheep sacrifices, and soon Poyang Lake will flood, the nearby villages will suffer, and the boats traveling in this area will capsize inexplicably. In this statement, the god of the lake turned out to be the head of Yingbu.

Of course, the god of Poyang Lake is also said to be the ancestor of Wanfa, that is, the founder of the Taoist Maoshan faction, and is also respected as the Emperor Zhenwu. It is also said that it is a figure in the twenty-four filial pieties of the Tang Dynasty, and a generation of literary heroes Liu Zongyuan made a gift for Rao'e. But no matter which lake god it is, in Director Guo's view, it is related to the mysterious shipwreck of Poyang Lake and the special weather activities.

I still agree with Director Guo's point of view. When we look at ancient legends from the current perspective, we always feel that there are many illusory legends, many fabrications, and many false rumors, but in fact, in ancient times when science and technology are underdeveloped and the level of knowledge is low, in the oral transmission of the people, when encountering things that their cognition cannot explain, there will be exaggeration, there will be ghosts and gods, and there will be taboos, but it cannot be completely denied that the starting point of these legends does not exist, but the way of expression is different.

Li Guoliang also sat on the bow of the boat at some point, and seemed very interested in the small talk between me and Director Guo. At this time, I vaguely felt that this myth and legend might really hide the key to unlocking the secret of the disappearance of the research ship, so I simply called Cao Team and Xiao Lei, and everyone discussed it together.

It doesn't matter whether the turtle rescued Zhu Yuanzhang or not, the ancient emperors would always get some auspicious rui to stick on themselves to show their destiny. But the important thing is that the Poyang Lake water battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang happened really, and it was fought intermittently for 18 years. In the past 18 years, Zhu Yuanzhang has lost many times and won less, and has been forced into a desperate situation many times, which is a fact. But in the decisive battle that decided the outcome of the battle, various historical materials have recorded that Chen Youliang's superior naval army suddenly encountered strong winds and waves in Poyang Lake, and many warships sank mysteriously, losing more than half, while Zhu Yuanzhang's naval army seemed to know what was going to happen, and all of them hid in safe waters, and were not affected much, and finally annihilated Chen Youliang's historical facts.

Of course, this incident was eventually attributed to the mandate of heaven by the compiler of the history of the Ming Dynasty, which made future generations feel absurd and uninhibited. But it is undeniable that Chen Youliang's failure is directly related to the shipwreck.

The affairs of Yingbu are also recorded in history. Yingbu was beheaded, and Liu Bang also renamed the city Xiaoyang City to deter his subordinates. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the city was submerged by the ever-expanding Poyang Lake, and the county system was withdrawn, and eventually the city became an isolated island in the lake, which was completely submerged during the high water season. The missing scientific research ship once inspected the ruins of Xiaoyang City that was exposed to the water and confirmed that it was an ancient city of the Han Dynasty.

But coincidentally, the two places where the legend took place, the Lao Ye Temple and the ruins of Xiaoyang City, are the places where shipwrecks often occur in Poyang Lake. As for the matter of the Patriarch of Wanfa and Rao'e, there are not many historical records, and most of them are transmitted orally. However, the patriarch of Wanfa founded the Maoshan faction, and used the Dinghai Pillar to shock the lake demon and solve the flood disaster is recorded in the Taoist classics, and the Dinghai Pillar is now the big lonely mountain in Poyang Lake.

In Rao'e's story, her father is a boatman, who drowns because of a sudden storm on the lake, and the boat and the people do not know what happened. Rao'e went on a hunger strike on the shore of the lake and wept bitterly, crying to the heavens to complain about her grievances, and finally moved the queen mother and gave her father's body back. After Rao'e buried her father, she threw herself into the water and died. Liu Zongyuan can make a memorial for her, and I think this story shouldn't be made up.

But why there are various lake gods in a lake, and they have been worshiped by the people around the lake for thousands of years, my opinion is simple. The power that caused the sinking of the boat in the lake is very mysterious, and no one has really seen what is going on, so there is no record of the specific form, so the object of this sacrifice is invisible, and many images and events can be inserted into it by later generations. Therefore, there are various versions of the legend of the lake god, but what we will have to face in the future may be beyond our imagination.
