Chapter 184: Leaving Home
Zhang Yuanli looked at Cheng Hong who was going away and smiled: "Said that the soldiers felt sorry for the horse, but you didn't feel sorry for your own mount?"
After Cheng Hong finished reading the horse's head, he had time to study this pinnacle product in the history of Tang Dynasty ships, oh no! The Tang Dynasty has not been building five-tooth ships because of economic and functional reasons, these are all built by Li Ke and his grandfather!
The five-tooth ship has inherited the flat-bottomed design of the ancient ships! Six slapsticks of more than 30 meters and almost 40 meters were hoisted on the boat with pulleys! Two in the bow, two in the stern, and one on each side of the boat.
In order to increase the lethality, there is also a stone hoop on the top, like a large urn, and the ordinary boat does not need to be smashed deliberately, even the stirred waves can overturn the boat!
The five-story building is like a walking city tower, and the bottom boat gang stretches out twenty oars to adjust the direction, really pointing to this oars to drive the big ship Cheng Hong how to look at how it is a little unreliable!
It's fine if it's in the river, but if you don't have the sea breeze blowing when you go to the sea, you'll be tired and tired of rowing! And such a high shipbuilding, and a flat bottom, it is estimated that the wind is a little stronger, and the waves are estimated to turn over directly!
And the old shipbuilder is still holding the treasure! Oh yes, now the master is surnamed Cheng, called Cheng Zhou, a very unique name, at first glance, it is from the hand of Wu Erya!
Cheng Hong looked at the big ship and sighed in his heart! There were more than eight Wuya ships in the former Sui Dynasty, but there were only these eight left, and the Wuya ships captured by others were all burned and chiseled, and there were more than eight sunk in the canal waterway!
But only these eight ships captured by Datang have been preserved, which shows the bearing of an emperor, others have injured too many soldiers on the five-toothed big ship, but Datang loves its combat power.
Alas! If the five big ships of the former Sui were all there, not to mention anything else, forming a fleet to cruise any waterway would be able to build an impregnable defense line! It's easy to rule by rowing the river!
Think too much, think too much! As long as there are these eight five-tooth ships, Cheng Hong can be said to go to the places where the Jiangnan water network is crisscrossed, like divine help! In the early stage, absolutely no one dared to tease Cheng Hong's tiger whiskers, whether it was a water bandit or a Jiangnan Shi clan!
Cheng Hong stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery of the two sides of the river, and went down the river, which is much faster than a horse! Chang'an is no longer visible, and a sorrow is gradually spreading in my heart!
Cheng Hong regretted it, to say that Cheng Hong's biggest wish is to live a peaceful and stable life, now that he has a home and a daughter-in-law, he doesn't want to leave, but there is no way, he has to leave something behind!
Cheng Hong doesn't ask for anything else, he just hopes that the people at the bottom of the class under his influence will live well, they are too bitter!
That's why he worked tirelessly, and this time when Cheng Hong looked at Wu Erya and Li Liqing, he realized that he had too little time to spend with his family so busy!
And I don't know how to go on this trip to Jiangnan, and I also have to take care of Li Liqian's mood, so I left Wu Erya in Chang'an, and Wu Erya was angry until Cheng Hong left, and she didn't know where this stubborn little girl hid and cried! Ay!
Cheng Hong suddenly chanted: "
The husband is not without tears, and he does not shed parting.
The cane and sword are against the wine, and the shame is the face of the wanderer.
As soon as the pit viper stung his hand, the strong man untied his wrist.
The ambition is fame, and what a sigh to part. ”
"What a parting! King Wei once praised the poetry of Chang'an Hou for his unparalleled talent, and it was indeed true! ”
Cheng Hong looked back, and it turned out to be Li Chunfeng who was high-five and praised in the back!
Cheng Hong smiled and did not argue, and continued to look at the scenery on both sides of the strait.
Li Chunfeng walked up to Cheng Hong and stood still: "It seems that Chang'anhou is not as free and easy as expressed in the poem!"
Cheng Hong laughed: "Poetry is a word, and a song is a song!" There are ambitions, and there are unsuccessful. It's just ambition, so why bother? ”
Li Chunfeng shook his head: "Poor Dao can't argue with you, but I'm afraid I'm going to shock a group of people by taking the waterway this time!"
Cheng Hong looked at Li Chunfeng suspiciously, and Li Chunfeng slowly explained: "Your five-tooth ship was once the top combat power of the former Sui Dynasty, and the former Chen State in the south of the Yangtze River was defeated by the five-tooth ship of the Sui Dynasty, and now the Tang Dynasty has driven the five-tooth ship to ......."
Cheng Hong nodded: "It can really make Xiaoxiao silent and save a lot of trouble!"
Li Chunfeng saw that Cheng Hong couldn't arouse interest in anything, and it was expected that his sorrow had not disappeared, so he said goodbye, and said a word when he parted: "Oh yes, this time I came to the poor road to deliberately let my uncle Zubu take a hexagram, and this time Chang'an Hou is in danger!" Avoid the mountains! ”
Cheng Hong thanked him! Li Chunfeng shook his head and went back!
Li Ke is busy here, not anything else, whether it is Zanmong Saimaga or Polikuji where he has taken a boat! I vomited along the way, although there were a lot of seasickness in the back, but they were all military men, and they were quite over!
But these two people are different, Li Ke lost the prince for these two people, it can be said that in the eyes of both the people and Li Ke, these two people are the treasures in his heart!
The imperial doctor, the old sailor's home remedies went into battle together, and finally controlled it when it was dark! Cheng Hong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing about it.
The southbound journey is planned to take the boat Chang'an to Banzhu, take the Tongji Canal to Jiangdu, enter the sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then divide the troops into two routes, Cheng Hong led a cavalry to take the land route, Zhang Yuanli took the Wuya big ship along the coast and went to Quanzhou!
As for why you want to go by land, the main thing is to say hello to the officials of Jiangnan East Road! In the future, Jiangnan Dongdao will be up to me, you all be honest, don't make trouble for me, I can still take you to make a fortune, if you are looking for trouble, don't blame me for being welcome!
Of course, all this is to protect Li Ke, Cheng Hong can't make the mistake of seeing the tiger, everything is based on the royal family, this is the first purpose!
Li Ke's two prospective princesses are seasick, but it is a big deal, if they really don't travel to Honghong, they can only give up the waterway and take the land route instead!
If you take the land route, it will be troublesome, this way is estimated to be impossible to reach in two months, then it will be a big deal, you can't leave Li Ke and go first, what if someone assassinates Li Ke?
Assassinating him will definitely make this group of people unlucky, and although Li Shimin has been in power for several years, there are always some people who deceive people under the banner of righteousness! Maybe somewhere came out a subordinate of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, or the remnants of the former Sui!
Isn't that the one in Da'an Palace still making a fuss that makes the ministers afraid?
Therefore, if Li Ke changes to the land route, all the staff will have to follow the land route, even if it is not the whole staff, these 5,000 elite soldiers will have to take the land route, if the 5,000 elite soldiers will take the land route, the escort force on the ship will be weak!
You must know that Cheng Hong's biggest hole cards in addition to the five thousand elite soldiers who went south this time are all on the ship, that is, the coins of the whole two boats, although most of them are copper coins, but this is not a few!
It can be said that if the Jiang bandits know, they will definitely entangle all the people who can swim to intercept it! And only a few people know about the coins on board!
If this is changed to a land route, it will inevitably be leaked if people move cars, although Cheng Hong is not afraid of robbers, but there is an endless delay in time! By then, it is estimated that it will be the New Year in Quanzhou!
At night, Cheng Hong went to Li Ke's boat to take a look, and heard Li Ke say that the two princesses-to-be had fallen asleep, so he was relieved!
Since you can fall asleep, it means that you have slowly adapted to it, and you can still walk on this waterway! Cheng Hong still wants to build the infrastructure before this year, if he really throws all the time on the road, Cheng Hong will go crazy!
Cheng Hong is homesick! Go back early after making meritorious service early, you must not take this messy business after you go back, go shopping and walk horses every day, be a gentleman with peace of mind, and accompany Wu Erya and Li Liqian! Not going anywhere!
Cheng Hong didn't know that there was a big trouble waiting for him after arriving in Jiangdu......
