In 316 A.D., during the Mid-Autumn Festival, on August 18, Yueguo Yuhang Qiantang River.

Hundreds of people have gathered on the tide viewing platform, and there are more than 1,000 people on the embankment along the river, waiting to watch the annual Qiantang River tide.

After noon, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked eastward, only to hear a dull roar coming slowly, and when they looked again, a few miles downstream on the surface of the river, a white line faintly appeared.

This white line came slowly, from far to near, and slowly became faster, and the white line became more obvious.

That's the tide of the Qiantang River is coming.

The people watching the tide by the river held their breath and focused their eyes on the white line in the distance. And several tide makers under the river embankment are ready to hit the tide.

The tide is getting closer and closer, the white line is becoming more and more obvious, and gradually the tide head is clearly seen, higher and higher, faster and faster, and the roaring sound of the tide also changes from small to loud, and dull to loud.

The crowd began to cheer. Liuyun and the lady only felt that their ears were numb, and when they saw the tide approaching, they couldn't help but raise their throats.

The tide is surging with the momentum of thunder, like ten thousand horses galloping, the roaring sound is like thunder, and the tide hits the river embankment, stirring up huge waves. The tide was blocked by the river embankment, and it was slapped back, and the turbid waves rolled, and the scene was very shocking.

Liuyun watched the tide surging under his feet, the sound was deafening, and his feet were like the earth shaking like a mountain, even if Liuyun was bold, after all, he was also a woman, and he couldn't help but close his eyes at this time. And the delicate girl is in the water town, and she has seen the tide many times, but she is not afraid.

The crowd cheered. Marvel at the wonders of the world.

When I waited for Liuyun to open his eyes again, the tide had already surged, and I saw that several tide makers waiting under the river embankment had already met the tide, drove the sampan, and jumped above the tide.

The few tide makers, sure enough, are bold artists, holding red flags, driving sampans to stand at the head of the tide, the turbid waves around are surging, the waves are rolling, and the tide makers are like being in the flat ground, holding the red flag, frequently signaling to the tide watchers on the shore.

The crowd cheered and cheered, all watching the thrilling performance of the several tide makers.

This scene, Liuyun has indeed never seen before, and he is shocked to see it, worried about the tide of his life.

The power of the tide is thunderous, and when the huge wave comes, it pushes the tide makers on the top of the waves, and the tide roars and swarms in, and it is far away all of a sudden, and the red flag in the hands of the tide is gradually not visible.

Liuyun looked at the three tide makers on the huge waves, and one of them seemed to be the figure of Bufeng, and then he suddenly remembered that Bufeng didn't ask himself to come to see the tide today, why didn't he see him on the tide viewing platform today. Could it be that the tide under the embankment just now has a breeze? Liuyun was slightly taken aback in his heart, because the bottom of the river embankment was far away, and he couldn't see who the tide was, and Liuyun didn't pay attention.

The first tide went away, and not long after, the second tide came again, but it was not as turbulent as the first one, and then there were several small tides, and the river gradually calmed down, lasting about half an hour.

As the tide passed, the people watching the tide gradually left.

Liuyun was still on the tide viewing platform, and the lady said to Liuyun: "The tide is over, Sister Liuyun, let's go back." ”

Liuyun still thought that the tide would come back, and said to the girl: "The tide hasn't come back yet, why should we leave?" ”

The lady couldn't help but laugh and said, "This tide comes from the sea, and it won't come back after it's over." ”

Liuyun was puzzled and said: "Since the tide has surged up, it will definitely come back, why do you say that there is no more?" ”

The lady said: "The tide looks at the upper reaches of the river, and it slowly gets smaller and smaller, so that when it comes to Yuhang City, there is no more, and the tide has slowly disappeared when it is surging upstream, so it will not come back." ”

Liuyun thought about it again, and felt that this was the truth, and couldn't help but feel that something was lost, and said in his heart: "Those few tide makers just now, I don't know where they went." ”

The lady smiled: "Let the tide go up with the tide until the tide disappears." If they had nothing to do, they would have rowed back here. ”

Liuyun said: "Then wait a little longer, and when the tide comes, we will go back." ”

The lady didn't know Liuyun's thoughts, Liuyun was to see if the tide was in the wind, so she didn't want to leave.

So I waited by the river for more than half an hour, and the people watching the tide by the river were almost gone, and there were only dozens of people surrounding the personnel sent by the government, as if they were waiting for something.

After a while, I found that there were three small sampans downstream, and on the sampans, it was the three tide makers, all holding red flags.

Seeing this, Liuyun was very happy in his heart, and saw that the three boats were approaching, and the three of them docked the boat, boarded the shore, and came to the tide viewing platform.

Liuyun couldn't help but be surprised, admiring Bufeng in his heart, and such skills. So he took the lady into the crowd.

The three tide makers approached the crowd, everyone dispersed, and the people from the government then inspected the red flag, one of them was completely wet, one was semi-wet, and only one was dry.

The government will evaluate the merits and demerits in this way, and those who are all capable of the banner will be rated as officers and soldiers, and will be entered into the naval division for appointment, and awarded military positions such as captains of the naval division. If there is no full-time officer, the champion will be vacant, but he will also be hired, but he will be given a smaller military position.

This year, only three tide children participated in this evaluation, and all three of them were able to return with their whole bodies, so they were all hired and became the Sailor Military Academy of the Yue Kingdom.

This year's champion is Bufeng.

It turned out that Bu Feng was born in Yuhang, grew up on the Qiantang River, since he was a child, he swam and played in the river since he was a child, more than ten years down, he knew the water nature, and began to learn to make the tide, he has participated several times, but the first few times, the red flag was wet, and Bu Feng was determined to win the championship, so he would stop. So the first few times, although he could be recruited into the army, Bufeng also gave up.

This time, Bufeng finally fulfilled his wish, and if the red flag was not wet, he could be awarded the rank of captain of the Navy Division and lead hundreds of Navy Division soldiers. Bu Feng turned into a naval officer in Yuhang, Yue Kingdom. Since then, he has bid farewell to his civilian status, and he can not only receive a monthly military salary, but also glorify the lintel.

Bufeng was born in a civilian family, relying on fishing and hunting to make a living, and he could only manage the food and clothing of his family. This is the reign of King Yue Wujiang, the state of Yue has declined, King Wu of Yue for the revitalization of the country, the organization of the training of the country's soldiers, and the Yue country is good at boat division, the navy is sharp. And the backbone of the elite soldiers of the naval division in the Vietnamese army is a young man who is proficient in water like Bufeng.

Bufeng is only twenty years old this year, the land of the country, the folk customs are simple, but also strong, since Bufeng has such a wonderful water nature, it is natural to have some ambitions. If you want to achieve your ambitions, the shortcut is to join the army.

Bufeng likes to listen to the story of King Goujian of Yue since he was a child, the country of Yue at that time, how strong, and today's country of Yue, has sunk so, when Bufeng was a teenager, he heard the story of King Goujian of Yue in Yuhang City to destroy Wu.

……

The Yue soldiers invaded the capital of Wu, and the state of Wu perished. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, originally wanted to exile Wu Wangfu to Yongdong, give him a hundred households, and let him die there. The husband said, "I am too old to serve the king of Yue anymore." I regret not listening to Zixu and letting myself get into this situation. So he committed suicide and died.

King Yue destroyed the state of Wu and killed Dazai Boyao because he was disloyal to the lord, and then led his troops back to the country.

The king of Yue, Gou Jian, leveled Wu, and it was a great shock. After Gou Jian destroyed Wu, he was full of ambition, imitated the husband, passed through the ditch dug by Wu, crossed the Huaishui in the north, and met with the princes of Qilu in Xuzhou, and paid tribute to Zhou. King Yuan of Zhou made people give Gou Jian the flesh and recognized that the more he was the "uncle" of the Chinese princes. At this time, the territory of Yue had passed north of Huaishui, bordering the state of Lu, east from present-day Ningbo to the sea, south from present-day Shaoxing Zhuji to Wenzhou, and west to present-day Poyang Lake in Jiangxi. From Taihu Lake to the Ningshao Plain, the land is fertile and agriculture is developed.

The land of Chu Yue is vast and sparsely populated, with rice and soup and fish, or fire cultivation and water rake, and fruit Sui clams, not waiting for Jia. The terrain is rich in food, there is no famine, so there is no accumulation and poverty. Therefore, there are no cold and hungry people south of Jianghuai, and there is no home for thousands of daughters. This means that the south of the Jianghuai River, including the Taihu Lake and Ningshao area, relies on the particularly favorable conditions of natural geography, and the people's life is relatively easy. However, "fire ploughing and water raking", productivity is still low.

After Yue destroyed Wu, because of the border with Lu, Lu Guojun hoped that Yue's help would enable him to eliminate Sanhuan's forces.

Shu Qing of the Lu State sent an envoy to the Yue Kingdom. The following year, the Yue Zhi Zi returned, and Lu Aigong wanted to go to the Yue Kingdom. Ji Sun was afraid that Gong Ai would be unfavorable to him, so he stopped from obstructing it. Song, Wei and other countries also regarded Yue as their hegemon. Goujian, the king of Yue, adopted the "seven techniques" of literature, namely: donating money to please his monarchs and ministers; Second, it is said that the noble corn is accumulated in vain; Three beauties are left behind to confuse their minds; Fourth, the ingenuity and good materials of the relics are made into the palace room to exhaust their wealth; Five of the relict ministers are plotting to mess with them; Sixth, it is said that the reins of his ministers will commit suicide, and he will be weak; Seventh, it is said that the army will accumulate wealth and train the army to bear its drawbacks. After Gou Jian destroyed Wu, he wanted to go north to the Central Plains to dominate but the literature did not support him, saying that he was sick and could not go to court, which caused Gou Jian's dissatisfaction. In terms of the strategic policy of wanting to be in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River or "going north to the Central Plains and respecting the king", there has been an irreconcilable conflict between the literature that advocates a corner of the south of the Yangtze River and Gou Jian!

In Gou Jian's eyes, the Wen Chong at this time had betrayed himself, and it happened that the Wen Chong was not going to resist the court at this time, so someone told Gou Jian that the Wen Chong was going to rebel, which is probably not groundless. The clues of the rebellion of the literary species have been recognized by Goujian, the king of Yue, and the failure to resist the decree is an example, so Gou Jian gave the sword to the literary species to make him commit suicide, and there was no one else.

Although Bufeng is young, every time he hears the story of King Yue, he can't help but sigh.
