The peach blossoms on the Songyang River are flooding, and the wind sends the boat off in spring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Xinyin Society left the Western Capital before the first month, and what I was afraid of was that it would be too late to catch up with the peach blossom flood of the Songyang River.
At this time, the cold wind is still bitter, the snow and ice at the west end of the Songyang River have not yet melted, and the river channel is narrow and the water flow is stable, which is very suitable for boating.
Shang Xuesleeve stood at the bow of the boat, she followed the boat when she was very young, and she still had a vague impression of when the Songyang River was gentle and when the waves were big throughout the year.
But a rare reader like Zhan Qifeng actually knows it.
She looked at Zhan Qifeng, who was standing at the bow of the boat, dressed in a coarse cotton robe, with his hands in his sleeves, and did not look elegant at all, and was talking with the boatman at the helm with great interest, talking about the spring and autumn floods, the drought and flood conditions on both sides of the strait for several years, and the crop harvest.
This ship is obviously not as comfortable as the one prepared by the sixth master at the beginning, because now all the expenses are really out of the money earned by the Xinyin Society itself. Really hired a luxurious ship, Shang Xuesleeve felt very painful when she thought about it, and she finally understood why the old team leader Qi was so picky.
The current in front of him was rapid, and the boatman had no time to chat anymore, so Zhan Qifeng slipped to Shang Xue's side and said, "The squad leader can feel that the boat is much faster?" β
Shang Xuesleeve nodded, because the speed of the boat was faster, so the wind passing by her felt a little stronger, and Rao was dressed as bloated as Zhan Qifeng, and she couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
Zhan Qifeng walked to the hatch, opened the door and asked Mama Song to take a cloak out and hand it to Shang Xuesleeve, after watching her skillfully wrap herself around again, he smiled and said: "This year seems to be warming up early, the ice and snow in the upper reaches are melting fast, and the water flow here is going to be turbulent, I think this year's peach blossom flood will be advanced." But that's fine, I arrived in South County earlier than expected. β
He was right, but after a day or two, the boat flowed down the river almost effortlessly as the water flowed eastward.
Shang Xuesleeve looked at the two sides of the strait again, and patches of faint green smoke could be faintly seen on the south bank, pink and pink. The rosΓ© is not significant, I think it is just a bud, you can imagine how lively it must be when the peach blossoms along this line are in bloom!
Zhan Qifeng saw that the expression on her face finally showed a rare joy and joy, and a little expectation, so he said: "The peach blossoms on the south bank are often deceived. β
Shang Xue said strangely: "How can you say that you were deceived?" β
"The peach blossom tree is in a hurry, as long as there is some warmth, the flower bones will be pumped, and then a little spring will be eager to open. However, along the river, the climate is in real time, and this generation of water vapor is extremely large, and once the spring cold comes, there will be an ice rain. The peach blossoms will be frozen alive on the tree. β
He smiled at the corners of his mouth, his hands still in his sleeves: "But how can a tree have a memory?" Almost every year, I am deceived, there is a word cloud, 'cold fragrance condensation, a frozen snow cluster of peach blossoms', which is the peach on the south bank of the Songyang River, which is a famous scene in Nanjun. β
Shang Xuesleeve couldn't help laughing and said, "This is really an unlucky peach blossom." Then he shouted to the head of the pipe and said: "The scenery in the south is good, let the big guys open the windows to breathe, otherwise they will suffocate themselves." β
Zhan Qifeng saw that she was interested, and also said: "Don't worry, the class master, this peach blossom is the same every day, if you are not in a hurry, stay at the gentle boundary of the river, there is a small pier on the south bank for a few miles each, which is specially for pleasure boats to stay and play, and you can also go ashore to see." β
Shang Xuesleeve finally noticed that what he had been saying was "peach blossoms on the south bank", and turned around and looked at the north bank, and sure enough, except for a row of extremely thin saplings, it was bare, almost nothing.
Zhan Qifeng explained: "Jiangnan has a strong literati atmosphere, and the previous dynasty especially liked elegance, and the coast was not afraid of spending huge manpower and material resources to plant willow peach blossoms, which is not only the row you see, there are many layers of them." β
Shang Xuesleeve still didn't understand why the contrast between the two sides of the river was so significant, besides, when the previous dynasty, wasn't the north bank the territory of the previous dynasty at that time? Why favor one over the other?
"The north shore belongs to the West County, and when it was founded, it went through war." Zhan Qifeng frowned and recalled: "When Emperor Wu conquered the Western Capital, he also took the Songyang River and the land route, and both roads were very tragic. On this road of the Songyang River, the military ships attacked the shore hard, and used rockets before going ashore, and the history books say, 'If it is tomorrow, there will still be afterflames for more than ten days'. β
Shang Xue said in his heart: It turned out that a fire was burned out.
Immediately her mind drifted away again, His Royal Highness this time is also two lines, he and Li Yu will be under the Western Capital, thinking of this, she found that she is no longer afraid and hate Li Yu, and even has some faint gratitude.
However, although the previous dynasty was eroded, the trees on both sides of the strait were beneficial to the people's livelihood. In a word, Emperor Wu burned hundreds of miles on the north bank before there was a flood in the Songyang River. β
"What about the South Shore?"
Shang Xuesleeve wondered why Nan'an was able to escape the catastrophe instead.
Zhan Qifeng said with a smile: "I heard that the master of the business class studied under Dayue and Xiaoyue, and learned calligraphy, poetry and painting. β
Shang Xuesleeve suddenly remembered that he was in the Western Capital at that time, and when he talked about the army that came ashore from the Songyang River, the two of them were very sure that it was impossible for Nanjun to send troops to support the prince...... Does this have anything to do with the south bank peaches in front of you that are still in the cold wind but are eager to open?
Looking at Shang Xue's sleeve thoughtfully and dazed, Zhan Qifeng said: "Huodu is located at the confluence of three rivers, and it is said that the culture is prosperous. In fact, compared to Nanjun south of Huodu, there is still a lot of background. The previous dynasty was weak, it can be described as internal and external troubles, the people are not happy, the emperor of this dynasty was born recklessly, but he is a true dragon emperor, worthy of a 'Wuyun Changlong' comment. Emperor Wu first pacified the north, and finally the army pressed the border and went straight to the county - at that time, it was not called Nanjun, it was called Yuezhou, and it was the fief of the Yuehou of the previous dynasty. β
Maybe because the town day was boring on the boat, Zhan Qifeng was extremely patient.
The kind of dangerous place in the west, although it suffered heavy losses, was beaten down by Emperor Wu in the end, but Xishu has not recovered until now! It's all because after the defeat at that time, the literati over there were still arrogant, refused to bow their heads, and were killed a lot!
Yue Hou also clearly realized that this Tu Baozi, surnamed Lian, who is about to reign over the world, is not afraid of the dead at all!
Jiangnan's literary prosperity has led to an atmosphere of emphasizing literature over military force, and he can continue to resist, but how long can he resist?
Once it is captured, not to mention the common people, what will happen to the soldiers? Of course, it can still be righteous and light on life and death, but if it is really like that, the Wengen of Yuezhou will be broken. (To be continued.) )
