Chapter 83 Feast of Scenery 1
Fang Guochuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Zhao Mingfeng: "With the two of them together, it can be safer on the sea, my two brothers have the courage to be unstoppable, if you encounter some pirates and bandits, you don't have to worry." ”
Zhao Mingfeng was overjoyed when he heard this: "For the safety of this voyage, my father has also recruited some heroes from the rivers and lakes, and it would be great if two heroes accompanied him." ”
Fang Guochuan then introduced Bu Yuan and Luo Kun to Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen heard that the two of them were the owners of the bar, and he was very surprised: "The arrival of the two bar masters is really God's help, this time to go to sea, I am afraid that there will be pirates and pirates, so I also invited a few martial arts masters to accompany the escort of the boat. So he treated him like a guest.
Luo Kun suddenly remembered a person at this time, and hurriedly said to Zhao Chen: "Mr. Zhao personally built a ship and went to sea to explore this time, which is also a great feat, I have a friend, who now lives in Dongting, this person has a strange water nature, and he is like walking on flat ground in the water, if he invites this person, it will be of great help on the sea journey." ”
Zhao Chen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Such a master of the water, he can't ask for it, please ask Lord Luo to send a letter to invite this person." Luo Kun said: "This matter is easy to do, if he sees my invitation, he will definitely come." Zhao Chen was overjoyed, and he was busy waiting for his pen and ink.
Luo Kun wrote a letter to Mi Qian of Langyue Villa in Dongting Lake, describing the invitation to go to sea, and Zhao Chen immediately ordered a capable servant to set off to deliver the letter immediately.
Zhao Chen then said: "The sea pirates are rampant, and the sea ships often suffer accidents, especially in the coastal waters, the Japanese are the most rampant, so this time to go to sea, it is also a great risk, so in this regard, some preparations have also been made, in addition to recruiting capable and brave sailors, experienced seafarers, and warriors to protect the ship, in addition to preparing a few guns on the ship, in case of emergency." ”
"Artillery!" When Fang Guochuan heard this, he suddenly remembered Ruan Fanglai, an expert in gunpowder, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Zhao Chen: "Uncle Zhao, I also have a friend, he is proficient in gunpowder and guns, and the firearms he makes are extremely powerful. ”
Zhao Chen said happily when he heard this: "Why didn't Fang Gongshu say it earlier, such a high-ranking person should be invited, although there are several cannons on the ship, but no one makes good use of them, but if you want to scare and scare the pirates, there are such good firearms people, so they should be invited urgently." Fang Guohuan immediately wrote a letter to Ruan Fang, asking him to come with Cai Xiaolei to participate in Zhao's expedition to the sea, and wrote down the address, and Zhao Chen immediately sent a refined person to send it.
On the same day, Zhao Chen held a banquet to reward Bu Yuan, Luo Kun, and Fang Guolian for their help and recommendation. Xiaosheng sat at the table to accompany him, and when he heard that there were several capable people accompanying him to the sea, he was also pleased. That's it, Bu Yuan and Luo Kun accompanied Fang Guolian to live in Baguio Villa, waiting to go to sea.
Fang Guohuan sent a letter to Lian Qiying and Sun Qi, detailing the beginning and end of the changes in the Hanyang Palace, and telling them that their family was safe and out of danger, and that Bu Yuan and Luo Kunxiang accompanied Zhao's sea ship to go to sea. Xiao Quanshu showed the "Cloud Turning Hand" in front of Bu Yuan and Luo Kun, which surprised the two, and they didn't expect Xiao Quanshu to have such a stunt. Due to the approaching date of going to sea, Baguio Villa was inevitably busy with the travel of Zhao's father's book, and Song Luyang sent people to purchase a large number of things needed to go to sea from Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou. Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, Xiao Quanshu, and Luo Kun were all right, except for visiting the garden and enjoying the scenery, they taught Xiao Quanshu to practice martial arts and chess.
Fang Guohuan told Bu Yuan and Luo Kun that this voyage was to salvage the treasures on Zheng He's sunken ship, and Zhao Chen was to fulfill one of his wishes. Bu Yuan and Luo Kun didn't understand for a while, such a big move by a rich man was just for a wish. However, salvaging the treasure of the shipwreck made Bu Yuan and Luo Kun curious, knowing that if the treasure exploration failed, they should just go to sea for a leisurely swim, and the two were also happy.
More than ten days passed. On this day, Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, and Luo Kun Xiaosheng were discussing with Zhao Chen in Qiren Hall about going to sea, and suddenly Zhuang Ding came to report: "Dongting Lake, Mi Qian, the owner of Langyue Mountain Villa in Paoshan, begged to worship. When everyone heard that Mi had arrived, they were all happy, and Luo Kun was even happier.
When the group greeted the outside of the village, they saw a young white-robed secretary standing outside the door, accompanied by more than ten servants, who were the "Little Dragon King" Mi Qian. Luo Kun immediately stepped forward and said happily: "Brother Mi Xian, don't come here to be harmed, right?" ”
Mi Qian smiled: "Brother Luo has been gone for a long time, how can he communicate with me?" It makes the little brother so worried. The two were overjoyed to reunite. Luo Kun then introduced Zhao Chen, Fang Guochuan and others to Mi Qian, and greeted each other. Everyone welcomed Mi Qian to the Qiren Hall and sat down.
Zhao Chen was very happy with Mi Qian's arrival, and then set up a banquet for Mi Qian. During the banquet, Zhao Chen said: "Zhao built a big ship to go to sea this time, and it is really fortunate to get the help of all strange people, especially the arrival of the owner of the rice village, and this voyage to the sea should be more perfect." Wenmi Zhuang owner water is very good, known as the "little dragon king", the dragon into the sea, can show the ability. ”
Mi Qian said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao has won the award, and it is also lucky to be invited by Mr. Zhao to go to sea and get to know you again." Zhao Chen said: "This time I invited the owner of the rice village, it is of great use, it is to go to sea to salvage the jewels on a treasure ship that was sunk on the way when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean. ”
"Zheng He's treasure ship?!" Mi Qian was surprised when he heard this: "Brother Luo's letter said that going to sea to explore treasures is to find Zheng He's undersea shipwreck?" Luo Kun said: "Yes, if you can find the location of the wreck, you can't dive and catch it if you are not a virtuous brother." Mi Qian said: "There are such strange things, but the sea is not as good as rivers and lakes, and deep water is used to take things, so you need to have a specific location." ”
Zhao Chen said: "The owner of the rice village just has a mind, don't be too careful, this time to go to sea, but along the trail of Zheng He's westward journey to the sea, Zhao will be enough." When Mi Qian heard this, he was surprised.
Fang Guochuan said: "Mr. Zhao's meaning is to gather capable people from all walks of life to go to sea to explore and recover dangers, and whether there is profit or not is secondary." Zhao Chen heard this, smiled and nodded. Mi Qianxin said: "I have heard that the Zhao family is rich in Jiangnan, and there is no need for the head of the family to venture into the treasure, but Mr. Zhao has made such a big move, perhaps driven by curiosity." ”
Bu Yuan said at this time: "I smell the wind and waves on the sea, I don't know if I can turn back?" If you go far away, it is good to find a place where the gods live. Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "The overseas immortal mountains are mostly legends, and the so-called immortals are just people." That night, Mi Qian lived in Cuiyuxuan with Luo Kun, Bu Yuan, and Fang Guolian. Mi Qian learned that Fang Guochuan was the person Luo Kun was looking for back then, and he was happy to know him.
A few days later, Ruan Fang received Fang Guolian's letter and arrived, and also brought a carriage of things, covered with oilcloth, I don't know what to do. Zhao's father welcomed him happily, and treated him as a guest of honor, and set up a banquet to invite him.
Fang Guohuan was especially pleased to see Ruan Fang and said, "I was afraid that Brother Ruan's idle sex book would not come. Ruan Fang said with a smile: "Brother Xian invited me to go to sea to the Imperial Court, there is no reason not to come, there have been a few old people at sea who were robbed and killed by pirates, I have never forgotten this matter, this time I went to sea, take advantage of the situation to avenge them." Besides, going to sea is also something that I couldn't do before. Fang Guochuan said: "The letter also invited Brother Cai Xiaolei, why didn't he come?" ”
Ruan Fang said with a smile: "Cai Xiaolei was reluctant to give up those agarwood wines in the wine cellar, he was just drunk, and he was reluctant to persuade him several times, so I had to come alone." ”
Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "Brother Cai is afraid that those drinks will be taken away by others, so he also wants to drink more than Brother Ruan and take advantage of it." Ruan Fang smiled: "It's not out of the meantime, by the way, the matter on the chess of the virtuous brother can be concluded?" Fang Guochuan said: "Brother Duo Chengruan asked, this matter has been decided. ”
Ruan Fang said happily when he heard this: "Things gather by like, people by groups, it is a matter of chess, and they will eventually meet together." Fang Guochuan then told Zhao Chen, Zhao Mingfeng, Xiaosheng, Song Luyang, Bu Yuan, Luo Kun, Mi Qian and others about Ruan Fang's skills in firearms and gunpowder, which amazed everyone.
Ruan Fang said to Zhao Chen at this time: "Mr. Zhao ships a ship to sea, in addition to the danger of wind and waves, pirates and pirates cannot be prevented, in order to prevent trouble, I brought some things this time, and I also ask Mr. Zhao to prepare thirty firecrackers, in case you need it from time to time." In addition, there are some things that are needed, which have been listed on the list, and Mr. Wang's preparations are ready, so that when sailing at sea in the future, you should not worry about bandits. ”
Zhao Chen was overjoyed when he heard this: "I am most worried about the defense of the sea, there is a lot of restlessness at sea, and there are sometimes merchant ships robbed. Ruan Yi took out a copy of the book from his bosom, handed it to Zhao Chen, and said, "Please Mr. Zhao prepare it according to this list." ”
Zhao Chen took a look, it was also something that was easy to prepare, and handed it over to Song Luyang. Ruan Fang said at this time: "I brought a few newly developed firearms this time, and the power of the test is not small, and it is very good for the defense of sea ships. Xiaosheng said on the side: "I heard that Westerners are good at firearms, which are used in the military, and they are much more powerful than those swords, guns, bows and crossbows. ”
Ruan Fang said: "Gunpowder was invented by our people, and it was later passed out. Westerners are more skillful in machinery, and use gunpowder as a firearm to kill, which is very poisonous, but it is also a sharp weapon for attack and defense. Our people also have their own ingenuity in this regard, especially the Westerners, but they are not exhausted, which cannot but be said to be a pity. Xiaosheng said: "Since ancient times, our people have advocated governance, held martial arts, and ignored the power of firearms. ”
