Chapter 260: Arriving at Taijiang

Current Position:>>>

The strange ship that kept making a "thud" sound completely ignored the laws of nature and rushed straight into the headwind. When the big ship with 2,000 materials approached quickly, the people on the fishing boat also quieted down: the person who came was too fierce and murderous.

Yu Chengde, who reacted suddenly, hurriedly ordered the sail to be dropped loudly: This action is equivalent to Erha showing his belly and surrendering.

Seeing the two fishing boats drop their sails, the atmosphere on the field eased slightly. In a short time, the big boat deftly stopped on the water more than ten meters away from the fishing boat.

"What for?" Before the boat had come to a standstill, an officer in canvas shoes, seven-quarter trousers, and a blue canvas training cap stood on the side of the ship and began to shout loudly with the horn in his hand.

The cold sweat on Yu Chengde's head flowed down at this moment: on the side of the big ship, a row of haired sailors wearing cardigans were pointing at their own family members with long guns, afraid that they would be beaten back and forth if something was wrong.

Fortunately, the monkey, who has traveled all year round, opened his mouth in time, and I saw him clasp his hands to his mouth and shout: "Vice Master, the little ones are going to the big ones to cast their heads!" ”

"Throw? Why did you go north? ”

"I'm lost in front of my head!"

"What's in the cabin?"

"If you don't have the goods, it's your family."

"Let the family come out!"

When the people on the big ship saw the white-haired old man and the women and children coming out of the cabin, they believed the monkey's words: pirates will not pull a boatload of old and weak people out to work.

"Follow the end of the team and take you to the big guy."

At this moment, the door of light opened.

The two fishing boats easily followed the group: except for one of the schooners at the beginning, the rest of the boats were heavy-loaded, ordinary sailboats, stuffed with people and cargo. In terms of speed alone, fishing boats are a little higher.

From this moment on, the fishermen who have experienced joy and sorrow are even under the light of the Buddha who has crossed the forces. Even though the gang didn't even have temporary work permits, they still felt the power of light: as night approached, two white pillars of light appeared on the surface of the 17th-century sea.

Considering that the two fishing boats were on their first night voyage, the flagship made an extra pillar of light tonight. Yu Chengde, on the other hand, quickly adjusted their sails in surprise and drove their boat into the pillar of light.

Bright pillars of light dispelled all mortal dangers. Even in the middle of the night, when it rained at sea, the fishing boats still kept themselves firmly in a safe area through the pillars of light. The fishermen, who were playing high-tech night sailing for the first time, were so excited that they roared loudly and howled like wolves all night in the dark sea.

Early the next morning, the fishing boats that followed the flotilla began to eat: the fishermen salvaged a few sealed iron buckets thrown from the former boats, containing fresh water and hot brown rice.

The long voyage became easy in this way. The two fishing boats that had come thousands of miles to cast their heads, after another night voyage guided by the pillar of light, finally saw the channel of Dayuan in the early morning of the third day.

The fishermen who came to the Land of Legends after the ordeal, like all the dirt buns, are now on the deck looking at the Western scenery. Yu Chengde pulled the third sister with his left hand, supported Grandpa Ba with his right hand, and beside him was a foaming monkey pointing out the country to everyone, everything seemed so beautiful.

Today's Dayuan Channel has long been busy. There was an endless stream of merchant ships coming here from all over the world and ships sailing from the Taijiang River, and the increase in passenger traffic made it necessary to set up traffic command boats with electric horns on the masts and eye-catching red painted all over the waterway.

The channel, which has been widened to 40 meters, is now split in two, with buoys installed in the middle, forming a road pattern that does not interfere with each other.

The hero of all this: Comrade Haidilao, still stopped by the waterway like an eternal sculpture, digging slowly in the sand, as if digging until the end of the world.

There are also a lot more landscapes on both sides of the fairway. After artificial pruning, neat sand-fixing plants form a large green belt around the island, and the glittering blue light of the imperial city in the distance is quite majestic in the eyes of the Ming people.

The Imperial City has now become a true symbol of domination: at night, the Jianyuan Hall, which also functions as a lighthouse, always shines brightly, projecting the interior light through the blue glass curtain wall onto the nearby sea.

And the princes who use these lights to work, their busy figures will always make the ancients watching from a distance have a feeling of looking at immortal paintings. This unique visual effect quickly became famous, and it actually became a big scene.

Lighthouses are a must. Now the two sides of the Taijiang River are no longer the original point of ship throughput, from Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Nagasaki, Nanyang to this place of ships in an endless stream, day and night, the observation distance of 20 kilometers away from the lighthouse can well ensure the safety of ship navigation.

You know, as early as the ancient Roman period, there were already lighthouses on the Spanish peninsula - the lighthouse of Hercules. It is a miracle that this lighthouse is still functioning in the 21st century after 1900.

Crossing the crowd not only on Dayuan Island, but also in Penghu, Kinmen, Xiamen and other places also built lighthouses.

The lighthouse built by Kinmen was crucial: ships could now depart from Kinmen at four or five o'clock in the morning and use the lighthouse's guidance to cross the strait eastward. In this way, by the time the sky was bright, the ship had already traveled twenty or thirty kilometers in the strait.

This voyage seems to be a small savings, but when the lighthouse on the island in the western regions of Penghu is also lit up before nightfall, the combined range saved on both sides is more than a kilometer.

You must know that the straight-line voyage from Kinmen to Penghu Xiyu is only 130 kilometers in total. This means that as long as the ships maintain an average speed of 4 knots, they can travel from Kinmen to the vicinity of Penghu in one day.

After that, it was even easier: the distance between Penghu and Tainan was completely within sight of the two lighthouses, and ships could swagger from Penghu to Tainan at night.

Therefore, Yu Chengde still suffered a loss of information.

If they had known that Jinxia had built a lighthouse by now, then everyone could have run south from Putian, and after arriving at Kinmen, they could set off with a few merchant ships that went to Dayuan.

If you are still not at ease about the daytime voyage, then you can also go to Xiamen and wait for the "shuttle ship". Now, every three days or so, a ship with radar and searchlights will be sent from the wharf of Xiamen's Zhongzuo Institute. Whenever the eldest brother departs, the mighty merchant ships and even small private cargo ships with only a few people will follow, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

Fortunately, different paths lead to the same end. Yu Chengde and they were fateful, they met the Hangzhou fleet in the middle line of the strait, and today they came to Taijiang without danger.
