Chapter 67 Looking at the World in Qingdao

But what's the use of that? Who was the prince of Linjiang, the deposed prince? It is Dou Ying, who has hands and eyes to the sky, and can directly stab the Empress Dowager Dou of Changle Palace, as the emperor's cousin, he has made outstanding achievements as prime minister, a general, and has made great efforts to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. When he started his temper, he had to ask the Empress Dowager Dou to come to the door in person to invite him to go out of the mountain to quell the chaos.

Even Emperor Jing left an edict to Dou Ying before he died, stating that if Emperor Wu and his mother Wang and Empress dare to mess with the government in the future, you Dou Ying will take out the edict to kill her, and trust the lonely loyal ministers, the last hole card trump card.

So what, did he keep his student Liu Rong, the deposed prince? Did he have a way when Liu Rong was deposed? When Liu Rong died, did he Dou Ying use all his strength to save Liu Rong's life?

What is destined to happen is always going to happen, just like Huo Quai's untimely death, Liu Ju finally had to meet his father, and then the whole family was destroyed.

Thinking of Liu Ju's innocence, Xue Qing's heart crossed a trace of unbearable. Resign yourself to fate, since you can't manage it, the old lady won't be onlookers.

Along the way, it took more than ten days to arrive at Jiaodong Kingdom, which was originally the fief of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

I found an inn and wrapped the entire backyard, which was originally independent from the front yard, Zhang Quandan likes to find this kind of place, which is safe and private.

Dozens of guards each carried a part of their belongings, scattered, from different routes, and finally gathered in this place, and after contacting Zhang Quandan, they all handed over their belongings. Counting them one by one, there is no one missing, and there is not a copper coin missing, Xue Qing can't help but sigh that the people of this era are sincere, haven't they learned to fill their own pockets in their hands?

Now it is called Jiaodong, and it will be called Qingdao in the future. In these years, there is no Nade-style architecture in later generations, and it is still the same rich and simple style as Chang'an, but there is no prosperity in Chang'an.

Since you have arrived in Qingdao, seafood is naturally indispensable. Seeing that there were no two days before the New Year, a large number of seafood was being sold in the market, Xueqing went to the beach, but the sea breeze was too strong in winter, so she still hid back, and only asked Zhang Quandan to buy a large amount of seafood to reward his soldiers.

Xueqing ate very well, and most of the soldiers began to have diarrhea, but after diarrhea, they continued to eat seafood. If you think about the amount of food that a soldier eats, plus scallops and oysters and the like, there is little meat in them, but how big the shell is, often the shells at your feet are piled up, and the guards are not yet full. That's enough for the feet. Xue Qing made up her mind, let these foodies finish eating these days first, and wait for the New Year, the third year of junior high school, no, from the second year of junior high school, don't eat so much, good guys, although seafood is cheap, it also costs money.

After the New Year, Zhang Quandan found two old fishermen, and as soon as they entered the yard, they knelt on the ground, Zhang Quandan could only lift the two up, and knelt down on the threshold of the hall, separated by the snow.

Xue Qing hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, like a flower, give a seat"

The two old fishermen sat down tremblingly, and Xue Qing asked Ruhua to bring some wine for the two of them to drink, so that they could be considered calm.

Xue Qing asked, "Two old men, how long have you been fishing at sea?" ”

An old man said: "The old man is fifty-eight this year, and he has been working for forty-three years. ”

Another said: "The old man is fifty-two this year, and he has been forty years now. ”

It took a whole day for Xue Qing to basically understand the navigation conditions of this era from these two old men. In fact, at this time, everyone crossed the river by feeling the stones, no, but crossing the sea.

It's mostly about experience and luck. Thinking of the harsh conditions on the sea, Xue Qing was very entangled.

The big ship is there, about twenty or thirty meters long, a few meters wide, all wooden structure, with keels, the outer wood layer is soaked in tung oil, Xue Qing estimates that this thing is okay for ten days and a half months, if you soak it at sea for a few months, it must not be soaked.

As for what sextant, quadrant. The astrolabe, the nautical chart, there is not one, even the prototype of the compass, what is the thing called Sinan, the old fisherman mentioned it with a look of disdain, the unlucky thing swayed, swaying around on the sea, who knows whether it refers to the south or the north, it is okay on land, and it can only be caught blind at sea.

In the past few years, there are many unlucky people who want to go to Taiwan, but they go to North Korea, want to go to Panyu, and end up in Japan. Even the most experienced old sailor, as soon as the storm blows, he will be dizzy without a stick of incense, and he will no longer be able to figure out the direction.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Dao Qin and Han, there is a fleet in the imperial court. However, the scope is almost all in the coastal and inland rivers, and the role is basically used to fight each other, and the outside is to seek immortals, Qin Shi Huang sent out several groups of people, but they have not been able to come back, such as Xu Fu's unlucky thing, which directly gave the whole Little Japan.

Even Emperor Wu has sent people, but they are basically useless. In fact, the two fishermen learned about the actions of the imperial court on the sea and knew that the Silk Road was blocked, due to the obstruction of the Xiongnu Dayue clan and other countries, it was difficult for the silk of the Han Dynasty to go directly to the Roman Empire, and it was difficult to go through the Dayue clan and Daxia to go outside, Zhang Qian tried his best to open the line in India, but Emperor Wu was still trying to open up a maritime Silk Road to the south, not only to send the silk out for military expenses, but also to go overseas to find out if there were any wild gods or something.

It seems that overseas routes are not safe, at least what is North Korea, Japan, Hainan, Taiwan can not be considered, Southeast Asia is counted, and the remaining three places are the Americas, Australia, and Africa.

But at present, in this navigation condition, Xue Qing really doesn't expect to be able to show good luck, don't die in the sea at that time, it will not be good to be salvaged and studied after thousands of years.

It's really not good, so if you get angry, go to the west, take Zhang Qian's road, and wait for Huo Qubing and Wei Qing to sweep away the Huns, and after setting up the Western Regions Protectorate and the Anxi Protectorate in the Western Regions, take people to that side. After passing through Eurasia and going to Europe, Europeans are scum, and the Middle Ages can be dark for more than a thousand years.

If you can get to Europe, you will not have the constraints of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as long as you have a small number of troops around you to ensure your own safety, such as the British Isles, you can not only be closed to protect yourself, but also communicate with the whole world.

Xue Qing is very lost, but she just wants to find a safe place to stay, why is it so difficult. It's really a bit like there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Seeing off the old fisherman, Xue Qing locked herself in her room again. Life is so gloomy, let the concubine be quiet.
