Chapter 100: Sailing

At dawn, outside the city of Najib.

Xu Fusheng said his final goodbyes to Song Wenzhao, the Qiang generals and the Yi priests.

In this battle with the Yi people, Xu Fusheng won a great victory as a divine envoy.

This means that Xu Fusheng has completely gained a firm foothold in the competition with the local forces in southern Xinjiang, and no one dares to despise this young Han man who is a divine envoy.

To this end, he can justifiably implement his various plans in southern Xinjiang.

After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, Xu Fusheng set off with his guards again, this time with the goal of making Nanjiang Qianzhuang spread throughout the entire Southern Xinjiang Road.

After two days of overland travel, the group of people began to take a boat, and Haizhou is currently the largest river port city in southern Xinjiang.

Xu Fusheng also wanted to see the river transportation of this world on the spot, so he chose to take a boat.

The river is surging, the vast sky, and a line of geese fluttering by.

On both sides of the river, the crops had begun to ripen, and the hard-working peasants, with their sun-tanned backs, wielded their sickles in the fields, and beads of sweat fell on the fertile land.

The gentle wind blew, and there was a burst of singing on the surface of the river with white scales, and the fisherman laughed and threw his net into the water.

This is the branch of the Grand Canal opened by the Shengyuan Dynasty, although because of the uncertain flow of rivers along the way in southern Xinjiang, this Grand Canal does not run directly from north to south.

But in this era it is enough to be called a huge project, connecting the navigable water systems of rivers everywhere, all the way down, zigzag sometimes to the south and sometimes to the east.

A dhow with a red hull painted is heading upstream, and the ship is extremely fast. It was a post boat that could carry more than 60 people, and at the same time had a cargo hold to carry important items.

This kind of stagecoach sails with the wind and oars against the wind, and has eight to twelve long oars on board, which is commonly known as the centipede speedboat.

All the fishing boats and merchant boats on the water saw the red messenger speedboat, and they quickly avoided it.

According to the rules of the government, sailing on the river, any ship must avoid the passage of the special post clipper.

The clipper sailed through a triangular beach, and suddenly someone shouted: "Lord Yicheng, there are three huge ships ahead, quickly tell the bilge to slow down and give way." ”

Pouring himself a drink in the cabin, Lord Yicheng, who was drinking happily, staggered up to the bow of the boat and scolded with a smile: "See your mother's ghost, what kind of boat are we? ”

The post man at the bow of the boat blushed and said, "My lord, but we have to make way for others on this boat!"

Everyone hurriedly stood on the boat and looked forward drunkenly, only to see the wide river in front of them.

The three four-masted giant ships, each with twelve sails in front of the two behind, sailed with the wind blowing up, the bottom of the ship was stirring the waves, and there was a white line behind the ship, which looked amazing from a distance.

The giant ship was three times larger than the Kuaiyi flying boat, and the first one had just turned the bend in front of it, only to see that the ship was richly decorated, and dozens of small doors with oars were densely opened on the high gangwalwales on both sides.

Three flagpoles stood tall on the bow of the ship, the middle flag was embroidered with a dark gold southern Xinjiang totem, and the other two flags were embroidered with the flag of the southern Xinjiang palace and an unknown pattern.

They were startled when they stayed on the water all the year round, and suddenly woke up a little bit, the flag of the southern Xinjiang palace and the totem of the witch god, this is only the king of southern Xinjiang or the order of the Qincha has the right to hang, whose ship is this?

Although these postmen did not know who was coming, they knew that the authority of the other party was far above his post boat, and the person who was so bluffed hurriedly scolded: "Your mother, why don't you go down and greet the people! Hurry up and turn the rudder and make way!"

The centipede clipper hurried to the side. Seeing the huge ship passing by, the huge waves shook the centipede clipper from side to side.

Lord Yicheng stood on the side of the ship, looked at the ship suspiciously, and muttered, "Who went to Haizhou?

On the first big ship, the curtain was lifted, and a beautiful boy dressed in a dark gold robe walked out.

His face is like a crown of jade, and a Ruyi jade pendant is hung on the jade belt around his waist, and with his steps swaying slightly, the whole person looks personable and outstanding.

On the left and right sides are followed by a woman wearing a phoenix pattern costume in southern Xinjiang and an unusually handsome son.

Dozens of men wearing black armor and long swords hanging from their waists on both sides of the bow saw him come out, and immediately bowed down and saluted: "Lord Divine Envoy!"

This line is naturally Xu Fusheng and his party, who changed into a big ship at Sanzhoukou, and specially hoisted the flag at Xu Fusheng's request, and the divine envoy inspected.

Xu Fusheng expanded his chest, and a cool and fresh wind blew in his face, which made him look uplifted.

He really didn't expect that he still had seasickness, looking at the scenery on the river a few days ago, he still felt quite fresh without this experience in his previous life.

This kind of days went on for several days in a row, and even the most beautiful scenery began to become boring, and he looked a little tired from seasickness.

"How long will it take for us to get to Haizhou?"

Could Feng Ling'er be able to see Xu Fusheng's weak side, and chuckled: "Lord Huishen, it will take three days to reach Haizhou."

I have already sent the shadow guard to inform Lord Yuwen, and at the same time, the military post has already notified the town guard of Haizhou. ”

Xu Fusheng nodded, and asked lazily again, "Then Mrs. Qian hasn't seen Yuwen Feiyan yet?"

Asked this question, Lin Huiyu couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "Yes, Mrs. Qian said that she has been infected with a cold recently, and it is inconvenient to see people. ”

Lin Huiyu thought about Xu Fusheng's headache these days, she wanted to laugh, it was the first time he had seen Xu Fusheng in trouble in these days.

Since coming to Southern Xinjiang, Xu Fusheng has always shown that he is ruthless and ruthless.

These days, Xu Fusheng is a rare start to Huairou, take this Mrs. Qian as an example, with a female stream to control nearly half of the river transportation business in southern Xinjiang.

Yuwen Feiyan asked to see him several times, but he was turned away, according to Xu Fusheng's character in the past, no matter how long the Qian family has been in southern Xinjiang and how deep the background is, he will not have any fear.

framed and vicious, he will do everything to win the Qian family.

Who knew that this time, Xu Fusheng uncharacteristically did not allow Yuwen Feiyan to use these means, but only asked Yuwen Feiyan to visit by conventional means.

Xu Fusheng glanced at the gloating Lin Huiyu and didn't care.

He knew Lin Huiyu's thoughts, but seasickness made him really too lazy to explain.

The Qian family has been in southern Xinjiang for decades, and it has a deep foundation, not to mention that a female stream can master such a strong family, you can know that this Mrs. Qian is not simple.

What's more, in the business field, women who can thrive in officialdom are often better than too many men.

A woman who can control the right to speak in a world where men are respected can imagine her skills.

Besides, Mr. Jin Yong also said that when walking the rivers and lakes, don't offend three types of people, among which women are considered one category.

Xu Fusheng came this time to do business, not to fight and kill. In addition, in his previous life, he was reluctant to offend strong women in the business field.

This life is naturally no exception, and it is best not to make enemies if you can.

Besides, listen to Feng Ling'er and Yuwen Feiyan.

The people who trade by river and sea seem to believe in other sea gods, so his identity as an envoy is not very useful.

Mrs. Qian has been guarding Haizhou for many years, and her strength is intertwined, and she still has to make good friends.

Unless it is really a last resort, Xu Fusheng really doesn't want to easily offend such a character.

The boat sailed for a short time, and it was noon.

Someone had already come to greet the three of them for dinner, and all the food they had eaten along the way was seafood, but most of them were boiled.

At first, it may feel fresh, but after a few days in a row, no matter how fresh it is, it will lose its taste.

Xu Fusheng was about to refuse, but Lin Huiyu said with a smile: "Childe, eating crab today is a unique feature of this place, and it has a unique flavor." If you don't believe me, you can ask Miss Ling'er. ”

Feng Ling'er looked at Xu Fusheng's somewhat pale face, and said with a smile: "My lord, it's true." The west wind rises, the crab feet are itchy, and now this season is the day when the Haikou river crab is ripe. ”

was said by the two of them, and Xu Fusheng no longer insisted.

The boat lady brought up two pots of male crabs, and a pungent fragrance came immediately, and the red crab shell with russet rose with a stream of smoke, which made people's appetite move.

Feng Ling'er opened the crab bucket, broke off the crab legs, quickly picked off the crab sac and gills, and used the crab tip to remove the hexagonal heart and foreintestine, and picked the white and tender crab meat into the bowl.

Presented to Xu Fusheng and said: "My lord, I have prepared ginger vinegar for you today, you can taste it."

Xu Fusheng dipped in the sauce and vinegar specially prepared by his subordinates, and ate it in his mouth, and couldn't help but let out a light sigh of satisfaction.

This is the first time I have eaten seafood with seasoning in these days, and the river crab in this Haikou does have a unique taste, the meat is tender and fresh, and the entrance is still fragrant.

While eating crabs, someone on the other side had already brought warm wine and tea.

Feng Ling'er introduced while pouring tea: "These things are Mrs. Chen's industry, and in the river transportation industry, Mrs. Qian has almost monopolized all the industries in southern Xinjiang.

But all the food, wine and tea made by the Qian family are indeed a must, and it is rumored that some powerful people of the Shengyuan Dynasty highly respect these things. ”

When it came to the matter of Mrs. Chen, Xu Fusheng naturally stayed in his mind and tasted them all.

Indeed, as Feng Ling'er said, there is a different flavor, even Xu Fusheng, who has seen a lot of the world in his previous life, has to admit that the few things prepared by Feng Ling'er today are really satisfying.

Especially this tea and crab, it is definitely a taste that Xu Fusheng has never tasted.

The brewed tea is clear in the sun, the color is emerald green, there are a few tea leaves floating inside, and a faint fragrance wafts out of the heart and spleen.

The fragrance is light and elegant at first, and then I feel that the fragrance is endless, although it is not strong, but it is like the fragrance of flowers and plants in the Sanchun Field, and it lingers for a long time.

"Good thing, when we get to Haizhou, we must pay a good visit to this Mrs. Chen. Xu Fusheng sighed while sipping tea.
