Chapter 941: First Arrival in the Wa Kingdom
In the blink of an eye, Li Mu has been in Yangzhou for half a year, and he has been separated from his family for a long time, so he said that he didn't want to be a lie. But because of some concerns, he still couldn't let Bai Qiaoqiao and others come over, but he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the opportunity to send a letter to Li Chongyi, and also asked someone to bring a letter to Bai Qiaoqiao, wanting her to bring her family over for a reunion.
According to the rules, important ministers are outside, and relatives are not allowed to leave Beijing. This is not an explicit rule, but an unspoken rule, and it has been done by all dynasties. Watching the Hou Mansion pack up, the fans of the East Factory did not dare to specialize, and Pegasus reported directly to the palace. Li Shimin hesitated slightly, but he didn't know what to think, but he acquiesced. Just a few days ago, Li Mu wrote a song and asked for a group of students to be transferred from the lecture hall in order to train a few generals in naval warfare, so Li Shimin asked the military department to transfer three ships to let these students escort Li Mu's family to Yangzhou for reunion.
At the same time, Li Mu was ordered to temporarily take the post of governor of Yangzhou and make every effort to build the Tang Dynasty Water Division.
There was no doubt about it.
When Li Mu heard the news, he was grateful. He knew that Li Shimin knew that the only thing he cared about was his family, if Li Shimin was willing to let Bai Qiaoqiao and others come over, Li Mu would get on the boat and leave, the vast sea, Li Shimin would have no way to take him.
But Li Shimin didn't do that, this is the mind. After thinking about it, Li Musi also gave up the idea of going to sea immediately, and asked Gu Sizhi to help buy a garden to live in temporarily. The best garden in Yangzhou City is the Gu Garden of the Gu family, the next day after Li Mu opened his mouth, Gu Sizhi vacated Gu Yuan, which made Li Mu a little embarrassed.
However, he still accepted it, because if he didn't accept it, Gu Sizhi would be even more panicked, and besides, he didn't rely on it anymore, he would stay for a short period of time, and take care of other things to make up for it.
Li Mu wanted to wait for Bai Qiaoqiao and them to arrive, but the situation did not allow it. A few days ago, he asked the shopkeeper Xiao to send someone to find the shipping route from Mingzhou to the Wa Kingdom, combined with the experience of many old sailors, and finally concluded that according to the retrospective cycle of the ocean current, the most secure time is to set off for the Wa Kingdom, if you miss this half a month, you will have to wait for another three months, and the risk will be greatly increased.
In order to catch up with the progress, Li Mu decided to set off. He took Li Chongyi and fifty Jinyi guards, plus two apprentices, Yixiu and Gem, plus the Chang'an with one hundred and fifty sailors as the flagship, led ten frigates composed of thousand-stone ships, and twenty-five search ships, chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and went to sea in a mighty way.
The purpose of his trip was to buy the silver mines of the Japanese Kingdom. By the way, he also has to take a break for his disciples and solve a little problem.
……
Aernaba Island (Okinawa).
During the Tang Dynasty, Okinawa was already inhabited, but it was usually unsettled, and some fishermen came from the coast of the Wa Kingdom or the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, it was used as a place for the exile of criminals from the Wa Kingdom.
The fishing boats in Yangzhou basically know the waterways here, and if they want to go to the Japanese country, they generally turn around here.
In the season of wind and waves, there are not many people on this island, after all, if there are no special circumstances, who wants to face the wind and waves here?
Today, there are only a dozen people on the island. They were all exiled here by the Suga clan, which is now in power in the Wa Kingdom, and they had very few supplies and no ships, so they usually couldn't survive this autumn.
All they can do is stay on this island and die. Day after day, all hope has long been worn out.
The only chance that they will survive is that a lost fishing boat happens to dock to resupply, but this hope is too slim. It's not fishing season, and even if it's fishing, few fishing boats come so far, and there are better fishing grounds to the south, and no one likes this chicken rib place.
No matter how slim the hope is, if there is only one choice, it can't be helped. Every day, these people would come to the shore and look to the west, hoping to see a ship coming.
Day after day, the eyes hallucinate, sometimes, as if they saw a boat, but screaming and running over, but only the waves, disappointed for a long time, they became numb, but they couldn't help but come, what if there was a case, there was really a boat?
Boat......
When exactly is it coming!
Suddenly, someone shouted: "There is a boat!" Look, Westside! ”
"Don't shout, Matsushita-kun, you must be dazzled again, don't disturb my sleep! When you wake up hungry, give me your food? ”
Hearing the quarrel between the two, Li Bingwei slowly opened his eyes, the sunlight was slightly dazzling, making him a little unaccustomed!
"There really is a boat, I definitely don't think of it...... Oh my God, such a big ship, it has to be more than a dozen feet! ”
More than a dozen zhang? Lybei, who was about to open his eyes and take a look, lost interest in an instant. It must be an illusion again, how can there be such a big ship? He was about to close his eyes and continue to sleep, when suddenly, the quarrel stopped, and the people ran up and down like crazy, shouting loudly: "There is really a boat, there really is, Dragon Banner, is it the ship of the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty?" ”
"It's the Tang Dynasty now!"
"No matter what happens, I'm willing to be a slave, as long as I leave this place!"
Ribei rolled over and sat up, and he looked into the distance, a ...... Two ...... Three ...... Four ......
Thirty-six ships......
Ribei couldn't believe his eyes, how could there be so many ships? Even if it is the largest port in the Japanese country, there are not so many ships so big, especially the most exaggerated flagship, which is really more than ten zhang wide!
In this era, the Wanshi ship has exceeded people's imagination.
Don't say that the 10,000-stone ship, even the 1000-stone ship, is also extremely rare. Because to operate a bigger ship means more labor is needed and more money is spent. Moreover, there is another disadvantage of the big ship, that is, in case something happens, the loss is too great.
What makes it even more incomprehensible to Libei is that with such a large fleet, what are they doing in this place where birds don't?
Unless...... Attacked by the enemy?
Impossible, with such a large fleet, who can be his opponent? Even if all the ships of the Japanese Kingdom are pulled over, they may not be able to beat that flagship, and it is not an order of magnitude at all.
Could it be that you are lost?
It's impossible, how can such a large fleet not have a good guide? Besides, if they get lost, they have to get sideline, such a large fleet, where is it going to get lost here?
Neither, then there is only one possibility.
This is to attack the Wa Kingdom!
But it's impossible, is there anything worth attacking the Wa Kingdom? As a Japanese national, Ribei could never have imagined that there was anything worth attacking about the Japanese country.
Although he couldn't figure it out, it didn't hinder his will to survive. Before he could figure it out, his feet were already running with him.
(to be refreshed later).
