Chapter 1956: Seeds of Hope
Pei Xingjian has always felt that he is a knowledgeable person, not comparable to those children of the family who either wander in the pile of fat powder all day long, or lead the evil slaves to fight cocks and lackeys. He had seen refugees who had suffered from natural disasters without covering their bodies, and he had seen soldiers with bloody and broken bodies on the battlefield, but the few "people" in front of him, who were almost out of human form, made his pupils constrict and he felt fear.
It was like a living person, hanging in a ventilated tuyere, gradually eroded away from his flesh and blood, leaving only a sentence of skin wrapped around this skeleton......
He couldn't imagine what kind of torture and suffering these soldiers who sailed the ocean on this warship.
And Fang Jun beside him was already trembling......
By the time the sides of the two ships approached, before the soldiers had set up the springboard, Fang Jun had already taken two steps back, then started to jump, stepped on the side of the boat and jumped up violently, crossing a distance of about six or seven feet, and jumped directly to the opposite boat.
Not only Pei Xingjian and the soldiers were taken aback, but even a few skeletal old soldiers on the opposite boat trembled with fright, and then knelt down on one knee tremblingly, performed a standard military salute, and said in a hoarse voice: "The last general Tian Yun is here, see Hou Ye!" ”
Fang Jun hurriedly stepped forward and helped a few people up with his own hands, and then hugged Tian Yunlai tightly, and said excitedly: "It's been hard ......work to go to sea this time."
He naturally knew the difficulties and dangers he had to face when crossing the ocean, whether he arrived in the Americas or not, whether he got back the much-needed plants, just being able to return to Datang with this broken fleet alive was enough for his highest honor!
Tian Yunlai grinned and laughed.
It's just that the broken teeth and the gums that are almost completely festering look extremely hideous and terrifying......
He gently pushed Fang Jun away, and then, once again, knelt on one knee and sobbed: "The last general will go to sea to explore the land at the end of the ocean in the name of the marquis. When they went to sea, there were 22 ships and 848 men, including soldiers, sailors, langzhong, cooks, etc...... Now, the last general has returned with the fleet, and only six wrecked ships remain, with one hundred and three surviving crew members, all of whom are seriously disabled......"
Fang Jun was also moved and comforted: "Why do you blame yourself? This is the first time in history that it has opened the world, and it is destined to be remembered in history for future generations to admire and respect! The sea is vast and treacherous, and it is not only a firm heart that can be conquered, but also requires better ships and better technology, but also the luck of God's protection! It's a whimsical ......"
He sighed.
At first, this field was only a small pirate, but because of his ambition to go to the sea, and his exquisite seafaring skills, he took a whim, and ordered him to cross the ocean and explore the Americas in search of the high-yield food crops.
Now that I think about it, my original idea is simply incredible......
If others don't know, how can he not know how vast the vast Pacific Ocean is?
There are winds and waves in the sea, typhoons, tsunamis, epidemics, and ...... Almost every accident can easily cause this primitive fleet to be overwhelmed, and not even a splash of waves. The reason why later generations of Europeans were able to complete the great cause of circumnavigation and exploration of the new continent was not only because of more advanced technology, but also because of the seafaring experience that generations of people have gone forward and exchanged their lives for.
And his order to let Tian Yun come and explore America is no different from murder......
However, just after he expressed his words of relief and his conscience expressed his apologies guiltily, Tian Yunlai raised his head suddenly, his description was haggard and almost invisible, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, and then, only listening to him say word for word: "...... However, even though the losses were heavy, the last general could not ask the Hou Ye for guilt, because ...... The last general, fortunately, not disgraced! ”
Rumble!!
Fang Jun only felt that a thunderbolt sounded in his ears, which shocked his brain, and subconsciously said, "You, you, you...... What did you say? ”
Tian Yunlai once again grinned at his mouth with festering gums and few intact teeth, and his dark and thin face was filled with incomparable pride and pride!
"Hou Ye ordered a small crossing of the ocean, and personally gave a pair of never-before-seen charts, the last general is with this chart, groping the direction of the monsoon, the surge of ocean currents, found the vast continent, and, the last general led the soldiers on that land to fight with the local natives many times, after heavy losses, finally found all the plants that the Hou Ye asked the last general to find...... Weekend! Fortunately, it is not disgraceful! ”
Several soldiers around him also straightened their waists, used all their strength, and shouted: "We, fortunately, we are not dishonored!" ”
……
Fang Jun covered his forehead, his head buzzing.
Lucky not to be dishonored?
Did they really arrive in the Americas?
The plants he told to look for...... Got it?
"Those...... Where are those plants? ”
Fang Jun not only trembled in his throat, he was trembling all over!
He couldn't imagine that they had really completed their task and brought back the plants they needed! In case of...... They admit that they are wrong, they bring the wrong ones, but what can they do?
When I arrived in the Americas, I didn't bring back corn and sweet potatoes because I recognized the wrong plant, but brought back a handful of sunflower seeds...... Fang Jun felt that he might cry to death.
How big the hope is, how big the disappointment will be, at this moment he is like a gambler waiting for the result of the big gamble in his life, suffering from gains and losses in his heart, so nervous that he almost had an artery infarction!
"Master Hou, please come with the little one!"
Tian Yunlai got up tremblingly and walked towards the cabin, due to the long-term floating on the sea, the lack of necessary nutritional supplements, the whole body was close to running out of oil, so weak that it seemed to be able to fall with the wind, Fang Jun hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Pei Xingjian saw Fang Jun enter the cabin, and immediately ordered the two ships to dock each other, and he also boarded the opposite ship, ordered the soldiers to stay on the deck, and chased Fang Jun into the cabin.
A rancid smell instantly rushed into the nasal passages......
The cabin of the big ship was divided into cabins one by one, and dozens of soldiers were so weak that they staggered in the cabin, struggling to stand up, intending to give Fang Jun a salute, but Fang Jun shouted to stop him, threatening that if it was not the time to see the ceremony, they were all warriors of the empire, and they must live and cultivate well, and there would definitely be a splash of wealth waiting for everyone to enjoy in the future.
These soldiers have gone through countless calamities, and they have long run out of oil, and the desire to go home supports their will, so that they can grit their teeth and return to Datang with their last breath......
In the cabin at the bottom of the boat, Fang Jun found a pile of neatly arranged sacks, he couldn't wait to step forward, open a sack, reach in, and grab a handful of yellow seeds......
Just in an instant, Fang Jun's tears fell.
Corn!
This special mother's corn is the corn that he once found difficult to swallow, but it has fed countless people!
Stuffed the corn back in his hand, carefully sealed the mouth, opened another sack on the side, reached out and grabbed it, a round thing fell into his hand, and when he took it out, it was a potato......
Under the command of Tian Yunlai, Fang Jun opened the sacks one by one, and then, a wave of ecstasy continued to rise in his heart!
Sweet potato, pumpkin, pepper, tomato, peanut...... This special mother's boat carries achievements that transcend time! He used all the high-yield food crops on the American continent as seeds to the Tang Dynasty, which was the most densely populated in this era, which means that hundreds of millions of people will be able to fill their stomachs, even in the year of famine, they will be able to survive, multiply from generation to generation, and finally, be proud of the whole earth!
Fang Jun is already crazy, he feels that every vein is expanding, every tendon is beating, what poems that have been sung for thousands of years, what brilliant glass, all of them are not as good as this boat carries the seeds of the eternal prosperity of the entire Chinese nation!
Because of his appearance, because of his leadership, these grains appeared in the land of China a thousand years in advance, and in the future, because of the agricultural knowledge in his head, these high-yield grain crops can be planted, popularized, and popularized in a more scientific way than after they entered China in history......
Perhaps, in the dark, there is a mysterious power that placed him in this era to make up for the boundless suffering suffered by the original history for such a generous, benevolent, hardworking and humble people?
Oh my God, that's interesting......
