Chapter 797: Hero
Wuqing County, Tanggu Port, which was the first port opened by the Great Song Dynasty in the land of Yanyun, is also very dramatic, when Mu Xiu's fleet sailed back along the coastline, passed through the Korean Strait, and then they learned that the Great Song Dynasty had recovered Yanyun.
At this time, they had already replenished fresh water and food in Goryeo, and they approached the nearest Tanggu port, according to the local Goryeo people, they traveled back and forth to Tanggu many times, and the biggest advantage of this port was that it was very close to the Jingshi of the Great Song Dynasty.
These words made Mu Xiu and the members of the fleet immediately disappointed, obviously this person was bragging, he had not been to the Great Song Dynasty, because the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was Kaifeng Bianliang, how far away was Yanyun?
But their contempt made the locals very dissatisfied, and pointed in the direction of the Great Song Dynasty and shouted: "How can you courtiers who have been abroad for many years know that your Great Song Dynasty has already moved the capital to Beiping Mansion!" It is the former Liao Dynasty Xijin Mansion, naturally, Beijing City is now the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, instead of Tokyo City, isn't it close to Tanggu? ! ”
The news of the Great Song Dynasty's recovery of Yanyun had already surprised them, but the ensuing move of the capital made them even more stunned.
Moving the capital? Your Majesty actually moved the capital?!
That means that once they land at the Tanggu port, they will soon be able to see His Majesty! Mu Xiu and the others were extremely excited, put down all the money they were carrying, and rushed to their sea ship amid the repeated thanks of the people of Goryeo.
No wonder the Goryeo people along the way are polite to them, today's Great Song Dynasty is the real kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty, which unified the homeland of China, has a huge influence in these small countries, and the Chinese dialect is the official dialect of Goryeo, and the same is true of Chinese characters.
In Goryeo, all nobles with a bit of family background had to speak fluent Chinese and write slightly beautiful Chinese characters, otherwise people would think that he was not worthy of the title of nobleman......
Mu Xiu led the fleet to continue to advance towards the Great Song Dynasty, and encountered more and more Great Song Sea ships along the way, but after they saw the messenger flag raised high on their fleet, they cheered in unison, everyone knew that this was the fleet sent by the Great Song Dynasty to the end of the East China Sea, and it was said that it had been buried in the belly of the fish, and now the Song people naturally shouted.
The reason why the merchant fleet recognized the fleet of Mu Xiu and others was because his banner was different from the banner of the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom, and the name of the Xuanhua envoy in the East China Sea was like thunder, and the maritime yamen, which had been established for three years in the Great Song Dynasty, had issued a notice early that if he saw any news about this fleet at sea, he must report it when he returned.
Whether you see the wreckage, or the fragments, or the corpses...... It seems that the imperial court also thinks that this fleet is finished, but now that it has appeared, it is naturally excellent, and the merchants have carefully calculated that this fleet has been at sea for six years......
It was a miracle that the merchants approached Mu Xiu's fleet with banners, and brought them the unique food of the Great Song Dynasty and the most precious fruits and vegetables on the sea, and stuffed them with large sums of things, or strings of copper coins, or fine silk cloths.
The soldiers nodded and accepted it with tears in their eyes, which was a way for the common people and merchants to express their respect, and if they did not accept it, they were afraid that it would chill their hearts. The closer the fleet got to the Great Song Dynasty, the more merchants they encountered, and some of the merchant ships even volunteered to turn back and report the matter to the maritime yamen.
After learning of this situation, the maritime yamen at first thought that the people who came to report it were crazy, but the successive reports made them pay attention to it, and they quickly organized the sea ships to go to sea, and under the guidance of the merchant ships, they saw the Mu Xiu fleet escorted by the merchant ships.
The high banner of the messenger, like an immortal warrior standing at the forefront of the fleet, the supervisor of the maritime yamen couldn't help but leave tears in his eyes after seeing the flag, he Lin Qing finally saw that the robe that competed with him for the Xuanhua envoy of the East China Sea appeared!
The ship of the Maritime Yamen approached Mu Xiu's big ship at the fastest speed, and after inspecting Mu Xiu's waist card, Lin Qing buckled the waist card in Mu Xiu's strange eyes, handed it to the small official on the side and said, "Fast horse, no!" Choose the best equestrian person in my maritime yamen, send the fastest horse to Beijing City, day and night without delay, be sure to send it to the palace, if there is a little mistake, Lao Tzu will kill him! ”
The next thing was that Zhao Zhen saw the bronze waist plate representing Mu Xiu's identity, a small waist card made the whole Beijing city unusual, and Zhao Zhen rode the fastest royal horse in the palace all the way from Beiping Mansion to Tanggu Port in Wuqing County.
It is a miracle to let the king of a country urgently go to see a small five-grade official, in Sancai's opinion, how did he know that what Zhao Zhen wanted to see was not Mu Xiu, but the batch of crops he transported back to the Great Song Dynasty!
In fact, the Chinese have known about the existence of America for a long time, and there is an important record in the Book of Liang, Volume 54, "The Biography of Dongyi Lie": "In the first year of Qi Yongyuan, his state Shamen Huishen came to Jingzhou and said: Fusang is more than 20,000 li east of the Han Kingdom, and the land is east of China. Its soil is full of Fusang wood, so it is named. …… There is no city outline, there is text, and the paper is made of fusang skin...... There are oxen, and their horns are very long, and they carry things with their horns, and they are better than twenty hundreds. There are horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and deer carts. Chinese people raise deer, such as Chinese cattle, and use milk as cheese. In his marriage, the son-in-law went to the daughter's house, made a house outside the door, sprinkled and swept in the morning and evening, and the daughter was displeased after many years, that is, she drove it; Happiness is marriage. ”
The Fuso here is not something that the Japanese naturally don't know, but in Zhao Zhen's eyes, the Fuso here is very clear that it is Mexico! Many of these customs were retained by Mexicans until later generations.
Beiping Mansion is not far from Tanggu Port, Zhao Zhen took a day to arrive on horseback, because of the development of commerce, the prosperity of marine trade, the cement road from Beiping Mansion to Tanggu Port has already been paved.
When Zhao Zhen led the guards to arrive, Mu Xiu and the others had already gone ashore, and the maritime yamen also began to carry the most precious goods on the ship.
"Your Majesty! …… Your Majesty! ”
Mu Xiu and the hundreds of people behind him let out a miserable cry, for the former robe, for the former friend, for the former brother, and for the former sorrow!
Hundreds of people knelt down in unison and bowed to Zhao Zhen, like a group of children who had lost their way, suddenly found their home, found their parents, and found their home...... Sancai stood aside and couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and the soldiers who followed Zhao Zhen on the side couldn't help but shed tears when they saw the affection of these robes.
A fleet of nearly 2,000 people went to sea, and only more than 300 people returned to China in the end, and many of them were dying.
Zhao Zhen stepped forward to help Mu Xiu and said: "You are all warriors of my Great Song Dynasty, and you are also the heroes of my Great Song Dynasty, I am here to thank you for your long journey!" After speaking, he bowed down in Sancai's shocked eyes.
The emperor's gift is not inferior to the people, not to mention that this is obviously the official family's gift to these people from the heart, then the significance is even greater, and it is not good to record it in the annals of history and go down in history! Even the Son of Heaven saluted them, and the three talents and the guards naturally followed suit.
Tens of thousands of people bowed down at the prosperous Tanggu port for a time, just to pay tribute to these heroes! Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
