Chapter 903: Fang Jun Erects a Monument, First Come, First Served!
The flagship waved its flag and took the lead towards the island, and the entire fleet behind followed and rushed over. Looking down from the sky, more than 100 warships with white sails drew a curved arc on the sea, leaving a white wake, swarming towards this island that suddenly appeared in the sea.
Floating on the sea for a long time is a great tempering for the psychology of soldiers, especially since most of them are "landlubbers" who originally lived in Guanzhong, and it is difficult to withstand this kind of depression.
Since there are islands, it is better to let the soldiers release them and go to the islands to search for some fresh water. It's just that the situation on the island is unknown, so naturally we can't rashly disembark and land, and the first to land in a small boat is the "stormtrooper......
Fang Jun was not willing to be lonely, and personally led the "stormtrooper" to land. Liu Renliang naturally didn't dare to stop Fang Jun, but he didn't dare to be so laissez-faire, so he hurriedly asked Xue Rengui to follow behind and protect him at any time.
"Assault boats" are small boats that are plainly tied to the deck and have no sails. However, with enthusiasm for the land, the soldiers flew with oars, and dozens of "assault boats" rushed to the land like arrows from the string.
It was still a long way from the beach, and the soldiers could not resist jumping into the waist-deep warm water. Fang Jun was also like an ordinary soldier, jumping off the bow of the boat, stepping on the fine sand at the bottom of the sea with both feet, the feeling of being down-to-earth made him tremble, and a wave of excitement immediately surged up, and he roared: "Rush!" ”
Be the first to rush to the shore.
The rest of the soldiers were infected by Fang Jun's emotions, and they followed closely with strange screams, and from time to time someone lost their balance and fell into the sea because of their rapid steps, causing bursts of hearty laughter.
The sea is warm by the sun, and from a distance it looks like a blue gem, but up close it is crystal clear with a hint of green. The beach is white and soft, and from time to time there are strange shapes of seashells.
The sea gently licks the sand, and the island is densely forested and picturesque.
Finally came to the shore, Fang Jun instructed: "Don't go crazy first, check the situation nearby, if there is anything abnormal, immediately warn, and then search for fresh water." ”
In unfamiliar places, we must always be vigilant and not negligent for a moment.
"No!"
The soldiers of the "stormtroopers" responded with a bang, and immediately scattered and rushed to the dense forest on the island.
Xue Rengui followed behind Fang Jun inch by inch, looked around, and sighed: "It's so beautiful! This island is like a pearl set in the sea, and it is like a paradise. I just don't know if there is anyone? ”
Fang Jun simply took off his clothes, just shirtless, pulled up his trouser legs high, took off his shoes and carried them in his hands, stepped on the soft sand barefoot, and said with a smile: "The forest is so lush, I think there is fresh water on the island." It's just that this place is too far away from the Ryukyus, there is no sign of deforestation at all, it should not be inhabited, the fishermen of the Ryukyus can't get so far, and this island is not within the route of the sea chart. ”
Saying this, Xue Rengui also became excited.
No matter what you do, the first time always has a special meaning and is always unforgettable......
The two of them walked on foot, and in a short time they came to the edge of the forest.
Xue Rengui touched the black-brown bark, looked at the straight and sliding trunk, and the leaves on the top of the canopy, and said, "This forest is very large, presumably there must be wild beasts in it. Later, let the soldiers search around, this company has been fish, shrimp, crabs and mussels every day for nearly a month, and there is a fishy smell on the body, so you need to get some beast meat and beat the tooth sacrifice......"
After talking for a long time, he didn't hear the movement behind him, and when he turned around, Xue Rengui was startled: "Master Hou, what's wrong?" ”
Fang Jun looked at the big tree in front of him, his eyes straightened.
Xue Rengui thought that Fang Jun had found some poisonous snakes or something, so he hurriedly looked around, but found nothing, and said strangely: "Master Hou, what are you looking at?" ”
Hou Ye's eyes were as straight as if he had seen a peerless beauty......
"! It can't be the Red Blood Tree, right? ”
Fang Jun felt his hands tremble.
Xue Rengui was puzzled: "What is the Red Blood Tree?" ”
"Knives, knives?"
Xue Rengui hurriedly handed over the horizontal knife in his hand.
Fang Jun took the horizontal knife and drew it out of its sheath, chose a thinner tree, and slashed at its roots. The bark splits, revealing a reddish woody interior. Fang Jun's eyes were red, and he was going crazy and wanted to cut down the big tree one after another.
Xue Rengui was startled, I don't know what kind of madness this Hou Ye is having, but it is the first time I have seen such a tree cut down, not to mention that even if it is cut down, the big tree can be turned upside down on their side and smash the two into meat pies......
"What's that...... Master Hou, let's go to the end. ”
Xue Rengui has a good emotional intelligence, and he didn't bluntly say that there is no one in the world who cuts down trees like this, leaving some thin noodles for Fang Jun. But Fang Jun didn't care about this at all, and chopped more than a dozen sawdust, but he didn't cut much into it, so he had to hand the knife to Xue Rengui: "Cut it down!" ”
"Okay, look at it!"
Xue Rengui also took off his shirt and was shirtless, took the horizontal knife, and cut it diagonally from top to bottom according to the gap that Fang Jun had just cut. It didn't seem like it took much effort, but with each cut, a piece of wood would be cut off, and in a few clicks it would be a big gap. More than twenty knives were cut on one side, two-thirds of the entire tree was cut, and then turned to the other side to continue.
The tree is heavy, and gravity tilts towards the side with the big gap.
When Xue Rengui cut off the last connection with a knife, the whole big tree squeaked and fell to the side of no one, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Fang Jun leaned forward impatiently.
A faint purple sap flowed out of the fracture, and the wood in the center of the tree was reddish-brown, and the wood texture was so dense that the lines could hardly be seen, and the nose came up and sniffed, and there was a faint fragrance......
Fang Jun looked up to the sky and laughed!
"Rich! Get rich! ”
Xue Rengui looked confused, looking at Fang Jun, who looked like crazy, and didn't know what to do.
"Master Hou...... What, this tree is valuable? "Otherwise, why do you say you're rich?
Fang Jun said excitedly: "It's valuable, it's not ordinary value, the key is that you don't have to buy it if you have money!" Any idea what this is? This is called the red blood tree, this wood is red sandalwood, and it is the best among the red sandalwood, small leaf red sandalwood! ”
Sandalwood, Sanskrit is the meaning of giving, in all kinds of hardwood, the texture is the hardest, the heaviest weight, the fragrance is fragrant and eternal, the color is gorgeous and changeable and the poison is not invasive, immortal, and can avoid evil, so it is also called holy sandalwood.
The earliest record of "sandalwood" in ancient times was first seen in the "Book of Songs: Cutting Tan": "Kankan is cutting Tanxi, and the river is dry". Since the Han Dynasty, red sandalwood has been considered one of the most valuable woods, and it is often used as a material for cars, musical instruments, high-end furniture and other delicate utensils. In the Ming Dynasty, due to the love of the royal family and the princes and nobles, the red sandalwood furniture of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be coarse, but it was carved with spirit and high spirits.
Ten sandalwood and nine hollow, the larger the tree, the more hollow, so the red sandalwood rarely has more than 20 centimeters of material, which is also one of the reasons for the super high value. And this tree grows the slowest, adding a ring in five years, and it takes 800 years to reach maturity! By the time of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the red sandalwood wood, which had long been out of stock, became more and more precious.
Scarcity is expensive!
But what about now?
There's a whole forest, all of which are red blood trees!
It's all money!
If they were all cut back, made into furniture, and sold, it would be as hard as ten salt pans!
"The island was marked on the chart in detail, and a small wharf was built here in the future, garrisoned to prevent illegal logging. Remember, this is the cornucopia of our royal sailors, whoever leaks the location here, Lao Tzu will cut off his head! ”
Such a huge fortune cannot be swallowed by one person.
Besides, Fang Jun has never had the habit of eating alone, what are the soldiers under his command following you to charge into battle? It's not about getting promoted and getting rich! Moreover, such wealth will inevitably arouse the covetousness of countless people, and only by making this island the property of the royal sailors can we stop those who are red-eyed from doing the machi!
"Allah, is this red sandalwood?"
A strange voice sounded behind him, and Fang Jun turned his head suddenly.
Forgot about these Arabs on board!
Fang Jun glared at Gadir whose eyes were about to bulge out, do Mader Arabs also like red sandalwood?
These guys are the best at sailing, and if they can't say it, they will remember this place, and they will sneak up on stealing and logging in the future!
Fang Jun blinked, turned back to Xue Rengui and said, "Immediately, immediately, find a stone for Ben Hou to make a stone tablet and bury it by the sea!" At that time, the horse aided the casting pillar, and today the Hou erected a monument, which is the territory of the Tang Dynasty! ”
Then he said to Ghedir arrogantly: "From now on, this place is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" The belief of my sailor - the place where I step on my feet is my soil! Whoever dares to steal and steal logging, Hugh blames Benhou for being ruthless. Those who commit my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! ”
Regardless of the future generations, whether it will eventually fall into the hands of others like some islands, even if it is lost in the future, it can leave a legal basis for those descendants who do not make it!
Lao Tzu first stakes the land, and then talks about it!.
