Chapter 1: Destroying the House
The Yellow Sea of this time and space has not yet been named, but according to the distance is called the Yellow Water Ocean, the Green Water Ocean, the Black Water Ocean, the nearest is naturally the Huanghuai estuary, the rolling mud and sand gushing out with the river, the nearby water surface dyed yellow, this color will gradually become lighter with the distance, so it has the name of 'green water', as for why it is called 'black' farther away? I don't know. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the depths of what is known as the Black Water Ocean, a two-masted ship is moving slowly, the wind on the sea is not strong, blowing the blue water out of layers of ripples, only the line that is pressed by the hull will turn out a small white wave, and then submerge into a wave.
The boat didn't look anything special, the front was sharp and the back was thick, and dozens of men were running up and down the deck, shouting trumpets while straightening the cables tied to the mast, and the huge hard sails 'squeaked' under their tugging, slowly adjusting the angle to the wind in the hope of gaining more thrust.
Standing on the female wall on the second floor is commanding a tall man, with his exposed upper body almost reaching the lower abdomen, it stands to reason that good weather and a calm voyage should be a joy for a ship at sea. But in his face, instead of being happy, there was an indescribable kind of trouble, and it was evident that this kind of burden was not only him, but the whole boat, and all of them were cautious, for fear of angering something.
In a cabin between the aft buildings, there was a rough wooden square table with grooves, and the four legs were not straightened down, but were stretched diagonally to the sides, forming an inverted figure-of-eight, made in order to avoid falling over immediately when there was a storm, and at this moment there was some food on this small table, and a triangular pot on the side, held in the hands of a little girl dressed as a Chinese girl.
This trip, from the Zhigu mouth under the rule of the Yuan people to the sea off Chuzhou of the Song people, the distance is not too far, but the road is not easy to walk, not only to avoid the Tartar patrol ships, but also at the same time to fight against the storm that will come from time to time, the shore is close to the sea, far away and afraid of losing direction, so tossed down, when the final arrival, it is not much faster than on land.
Therefore, after losing contact for so many days, they got the news that the mission was wiped out in the capital, and Sister Pheasant escaped, but after returning to Beijing, she did not know where to go. His heart suddenly hung in the air, unable to go up or down, and he waited for five days before he had to embark on the return journey, because there was still his mission.
Compared with this kind of concern, what makes people feel more heart-wrenching is that all this is not for him, but for what, he can't say it and dare not think about it, the girl who was revered by him like a god and should have become his wife can't tolerate the slightest blasphemy, no one can do it.
Jiang Ning's eyes were already a little sluggish, and the little girl standing on the edge of the table with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes overlapped in his sight, no matter how he shook his head, he couldn't tell who it was, but the more he was like this, the more bitter he felt in his mouth, and he couldn't help but want to pour the wine in the cup, so that the heat rushed straight to his brain, so that the pain would not be so bad.
The liquid that was poured into the throat had a burning sensation like fire, and the man who ran the sea would have something to pay attention to, this kind of rough brewing similar to the industrial alcohol of later generations came from the north, and was specially used by merchants, porters, and guards who traveled in those bitter cold places.
"Big Boss...... Why don't you take a break? ”
The sudden clear sound drilled into his mind, Jiang Ning raised his head and saw the face of longing for him, he grinned "hehe", reached out and grabbed the pair of small hands in his palm, and then pulled the small body into his arms.
"Pheasant ....... Sister Pheasant, are you ...... You're here. ”
The little girl didn't expect him to be like this, the triangular pot in her hand fell on the table, and a strong smell of wine didn't know if it came from the man's mouth or from the table, stabbing her frowning, but these were not as good as her own hand falling into the other party's grasp, and that moment even reminded her of the unbearable days before, tears slid down, but her body did not struggle at all.
"Mo ...... Don't cry, there's me. ”
I didn't expect the other party's movements to be rude at all, and there was no other movement after taking her body, and she wiped the corner of her clothes with all her heart, and the drunken and cautious appearance immediately dispelled the haze in her heart, and was replaced by incomparable distress, and the denial that had already reached her mouth could not be spoken, and she only thought that this moment could last longer.
"You're not her."
The other party suddenly let go of her hand and pushed the person out, and the little girl couldn't catch the edge of the table unexpectedly, and sat down on the floor at once, fortunately the board was wooden, and it didn't hurt much, but her heart was a burst of loss.
Jiang Ning actually didn't see her face clearly, but no matter how drunk she was, she still knew very well in her heart that Sister Pheasant would never let him hold on to it like this, let alone cry in front of him, that kind of depression made him sober up a little, and when he turned his head, he wanted to find the wine jug on the table again.
"Big boss, you can't drink anymore, if my sister sees it, she will be heartbroken." Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then noticed the small figure.
"Are you...... Why are you on this ship, didn't you go down in Chuzhou? He closed his eyes and thought about it, and his memories became fragments, and it took a lot of effort to connect them.
"The slave has no home, and he doesn't know where to go when he goes down."
Jiang Ning stood up with the table, staggered to her side, and pulled the person up with a light mention, this was an extremely thin little girl, not as high as his shoulders, staring at a pair of big eyes and trying to suppress tears, pursing her lips without saying a word, that stubborn appearance really had a bit of a pheasant slave shadow, no wonder he was dazzled.
"I'm sorry, it hurts you, this boat is a place for men to stay, you still have to think about whether there is any place to go, if you stop by the way, you will send it back." Jiang Ning didn't know how to deal with it, it was impossible to run a trip specifically for her, but the next time she returned to Da Song, she didn't know what day it was.
"Although the slave is not a sister, she was rescued by her sister, and she is her person, so she begs the big boss not to drive the slave away." The little girl was a little anxious, and she didn't care about any big defense, so she hugged his arm directly, "Slaves don't get seasick, they can do anything, there must always be laundry on the boat, and cooking is also done, even if you take a knife and work hard, slaves can do it." ”
Jiang Ning was a little speechless, although he still didn't agree in his heart, but he also knew that this girl really had no place to go, since she was Sister Pheasant's person, she couldn't care about it, the boat was definitely not good, there was going to be a war soon, what was the matter with multiple women, but they had a water village, and when they arrived on their own island, they would settle people down first, and then think about it slowly in the future.
"Big boss!" The voice of his subordinates sounded outside the door, and the little girl hurriedly let go of him and silently cleaned up the things on the table.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Ning pinched his hand to sober up a little before he walked over and opened the door, and it was the man who commanded in his place.
"There is news from the bucket that a large number of ships are appearing in front of them, and it looks like they are going south."
The words of the person who came made him suddenly startled, and most of the original residual alcohol was gone, and he ran out in three steps and two steps, and went up to the second floor by the ladder, and looked in that direction after taking the clairvoyant mirror, but there was nothing in the lens.
"You're watching here." Jiang Ning threw the clairvoyant mirror into his hand, and went down the deck without waiting for a reply, and the man watched his movements inexplicably, until he spat in the palm of his hand, took a few steps back, and turned to face the direction of the mainmast, and then reacted to what he wanted to do.
"The big boss wants to go to the pole!" There was little fun on the boat, and this kind of thing naturally became news, and all the crew members gathered around, and those who couldn't leave, also tried to stretch their necks to look at that side, for fear of missing something.
"Holy shit, look at it."
Jiang Ning was not stage frightened, laughed and scolded, and rushed over at a faster pace, in the commotion of everyone, he climbed faster and faster with his hands and feet, and almost didn't have much effort to reach the top of the pole. When the horn in the bucket suddenly saw him appear, he was so stunned that he could not speak, because the great master had not climbed the pole for a long time.
"That's the direction." The trumpet gave up his seat very knowingly, handed him the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and pointed to the distance and said.
The place was too small, Jiang Ning didn't squat, he stood directly on the trumpet, ignoring the fact that the mast was a little unstable by the wind, his bare feet almost seemed to be glued to it, his eyes were glued to the camera without blinking, and he gradually saw the situation in the distance.
It should be in the direction of the coast, one after another flat-headed ships are breaking the wind and waves, that kind of ship is clearly different from the lucky boat under his feet, the bow of the ship with a small inclination is like a shield, the hull is square without any arc, the two-masted or even three-masted sails are full of open, and there are two to three stories of bows in the middle, and the largest one even has cornices and arches, like a palace floating on the sea!
As the distance approached, the flags on those ships were already clearly discerning, and the Chinese characters written on them had a strange distortion, and there were rows of soldiers standing behind the side of the boat, looking at their outfits, they were neither Mongolians with fur hats and carved furs, nor Han soldiers in white clothes and black armor, not tall, square hats and soap robes, and similar in appearance to Han people, but they were completely different, no one knew better than Jiang Ning who the other party was, he didn't expect to see it here, and his heart suddenly rose.
Jiang Ning counted silently in his heart, when the number reached three thousand, the huge fleet had already covered the entire coastline, and the black pressure was like a storm rushing into the distance, that direction was of course not himself, but the foundation of these people on the ship...... Great Song.
What to do? With this little power in his hand, it is not enough to shake a single bit, all along, this fleet has been looking for their traces, because of the black technology in his hand, the two sides have crossed more than once, but this time, it made Jiang Ning embarrassed, it is useless to hit the stone with an egg, and he is unwilling to let them pass, because he doesn't know if he has prepared or not, if not, wouldn't it be unprepared?
"The big boss, such a big battle, we can see it, and the brothers on the shore must also see it, what the subordinates are worried about is that this is not all they have."
Sliding down from the mast, his subordinates knew what he was worried about as soon as they saw his face, so they hurriedly stepped forward and said their analysis, which was the reason why he knew that Jiang Ning was drinking in the cabin and still bothered.
"You mean ......"
With such a reminder, Jiang Ning immediately understood that the ships that appeared in the distance were less than half of the Yuanren coastal naval army, and they dared to appear so swaggeringly, which showed that they were afraid, what could they be? Jiang Ning's expression changed suddenly.
"Turn the rudder, set the sails, everyone on deck, and the whole ship is on alert."
Under his command, the ship turned a little more towards the depths of the ocean, and each time they found a reference, they had to adjust this direction constantly, until the shadow of an island appeared, and they were half relieved. The reason why there is only half a mouth is because this island called Tamna is also just a reference, and if you find it, you will find the direction of home, Jiang Ning stood behind the female wall without blinking, without the slightest relaxation on his face.
"There is news from the bucket, there is a ship shadow in front of us, there are not many of them, and the direction is opposite to ours."
"Well, is the microphone on?"
"It's been opened, and there's no movement for the time being."
The closer he was to home, the more Jiang Ning didn't dare to relax, he chose here because it was close to the Yuanren's territory, and the location was very remote, and there was something dark under the lights, but because of this, once something happened, there would be big trouble, he didn't immediately order to adjust the direction, and he already had a faint feeling in his heart.
In a hurry, the speed of the ship continued to increase, all the men stood in their positions, the cover of the bed crossbow was untied, the thick crossbow ~ gun was installed, the rocker arm of the trebuchet was lowered, and the stone bullets and fire bombs were piled aside. Behind the side of the ship, the crossbowman who knelt on one knee silently checked his equipment, the hook gun chain jump rope was ready to go, ready to rush into battle and jump at any time, thanks to the usual strict drills, everything was accurate like a machine, one-on-one, he dared to single out any boat, Jiang Ning had this confidence.
"Douzi said that it was our own people who came."
"Toot ......"
Almost at the same time as his subordinates spoke, the microphone on the side also lit up the green light to request a call, and the nervous expressions of his subordinates slowly relaxed, but when he looked at Jiang Ning's expression, the big boss had not changed from beginning to end, and his face was solemn.
"Lao Zhang, how is the injury, finish speaking."
"Big boss." There was still some noise in the microphone, and it sounded like Zhang Xuan's voice was slightly distorted, as if he was still a little hoarse, "Alas, the subordinates are incompetent, let the Tartars touch in at night, thanks to that kind of night vision, so that people will not be wrapped up, half of the big ship is lost, and the ones caught basically didn't run, and the subordinates really don't know how to see you......"
Zhang Xuan's words were full of self-blame and remorse, but Jiang Ning didn't have the time to talk to him about these at the moment, after asking the details carefully, he relaxed instead, that island was originally used for temporary storage, it was a pity that things were lost, but the other losses were not big, the people Zhang Xuan brought out were all cronies and subordinates who had to be used, and the loss was the pirates who took refuge, and they were not pure-hearted, and if they were gone, they would be gone.
However, more than a dozen boats were caught off guard, and they could finally stand out, for this deputy's ability, Jiang Ning increased his understanding, that is, let him come by himself, maybe it is not as good as others, of course, this cannot be said, the necessary beating and soothing is the best strategy to win the hearts of the army.
The two sides converged on a secluded route, Jiang Ning's big ship turned around and ran ahead in the lead, in order to prevent the pursuit of the Yuan people, they ran out of dozens of miles in one go, until there was no boat behind the buttocks, and then they found a desert island near the anchor, Rao is so, the cordon was also released far away, and it could be seen that these people had been frightened.
Now the question is, where should I go after the family is ruined, after meeting with Zhang Xuan and others, all the remaining ship owners have come to his big ship, from their expressions, Jiang Ning can see at a glance that their morale is not very high, and they also look disgraced.
"Raise your heads, just like you dicks, and shout a fart all over the world." Jiang Ning unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his drooping chest, which was a perfect match for his words.
"There are thousands of Yuanren, and they haven't even won a dozen of you, who won? But if you lose a broken island, don't die one by one, it's frustrating to see it. ”
A bandit is a bandit, that is, he got on the boat and became a pirate, and he was just a bandit who played the technical stream, and he was yelled at twice by the big boss, and one by one his pores dilated, and they all came to life, especially Zhang Xuan, because he knew his identity, as a soldier, what would be the outcome of losing the battle, and it would not be a meritorious award.
"There's nowhere to go now, the brothers just want to have fun, but it's not possible, since the Yuan people want it, let them take it, they have more good things, do you have any eggs to follow so-and-so, go fuck the damn vote, let the Yuan people see, who the fuck is the bad seed?"
Jiang Ning slapped the table and yelled, and the small cabin suddenly became quiet, Pirate leaders, you look at me, I look at you, they all saw something crazy in each other's eyes, this is what is enjoyable, okay? The hatred does not last overnight, the debt does not last for many years, and the words of the big boss made all the people red-eyed, and they screamed with excitement one by one.
"Damn, just wait for the big boss."
"It's true, whoever doesn't go is eggless."
......
For a while, foul language flew sideways, Jiang Ning not only didn't think it was angry, but also silently showed a smile, Yuan Ren wanted to catch it all, he just wanted to stir up the chickens and dogs, and see whose altars and jars were more precious.
