Chapter 203: A Hundred Ships Leave Port

On the sixteenth day of the eighteenth year of Shaoxing, it is advisable to sacrifice and travel.

Before dawn, Gu Qingchen got up to cook a meal, this breakfast was much richer than in the past, but the parting was imminent, the two looked at each other, tears swirled in their eyes, how to eat.

The two hugged each other for a long time before finishing the last meal before leaving home.

Gu Qingchen tied up his hair, changed into men's clothes, and was sure to send Lang Jun away.

Yang Congyi saw that she had been prepared and couldn't refuse, so he took her to the port, and the two went on the same journey again.

The port of Hanjiang is noisy, dozens of sea ships are separated by two by two ten zhang distance, lined up along the port coast, you can't see the end at a glance, as far as the eye can see, all the sea ships have put the bridge on the deck, ready to go, just wait for an order, take up the anchor, raise the sail and leave the port.

Yang Congyi was waiting at the port as early as possible, and as soon as Shen Shi arrived, he boarded the high platform, and then issued an order to the flag-bearer beside him: "Sea Ship No. 1, leave the port!" ”

The flag bearer received the order to unfurl the yellow order flag, first marking the number of the sea vessel, followed by "Leave the port quickly".

The flag-bearer on the Hai Ship No. 1 immediately responded to the "order".

After the flag responded, the sailors on the No. 1 Sea Boat quickly twisted the huge anchor, and after a few breaths, the long oars rowed, and the sea ship slowly left the coast, and in a short time it was more than 30 zhang away from the shore, and under the gaze of everyone on the shore, the bow of the ship was turned, the main sail was raised, and it sailed out of Quanzhou Bay.

When Haichuan No. 1 turned the bow, Yang Congyi issued another order: "Haichuan No. 2, leave the port!" ”

The flag-bearer, who was also on the high platform, raised the yellow order flag and played the number of Hai Ship No. 2, and then played the flag of "Leave the port quickly".

Hai Ship No. 2 always paid attention to the direction of the high platform order flag, and as soon as it received the order, it immediately raised the flag in response to the "order". At the captain's command, the anchor was raised, the oars were rowed, and in a moment it was out of the shore.

When Hai Ship No. 2 began to turn around, Yang Congyi ordered again: "Hai Ship No. 3, leave the port!" ”

The flag bearer unfurled his flag, and the No. 3 Sea Vessel was ordered to leave the port.

In this way, the first ship turns around and raises its sails thirty feet from the shore, and the next ship lifts anchor and moves its oars.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the fifth sea-going ship had put away its anchor and was ready to leave port.

As the sea ships left, more than a dozen sea ships lined up in the middle of Quanzhou Bay, each ship was about a mile apart, arranged neatly, the front ship had reached the open sea, and the rear ship had just turned around.

In less than an hour, more than 30 seagoing ships loaded with goods in the port of Hanjiang all left the port and sailed out of Quanzhou Bay.

In addition to a warship in the whole Hanjiang port, there is only a big ship with a bow as high as more than two zhang, a group of forbidden guards on the ship, red clothes and black armor, holding spears, standing on the side of the ship, not moving, * solemn, a big red flag on the top of the ship, and a big "Song" character embroidered with gold silk on the flag, is waving in the wind. More than 30 long oars on both sides of the ship have long been soaked in the water, and they can turn up the waves and destroy the ship at the first order.

There were many people gathered on the shore who came to see the excitement, and then in front of them were soldiers and officials, and before them were a group of officials from the Quanzhou Prefecture, as well as the protagonists of today's port, the core personnel of the Huiyi team, Dai Cong, Huang Qi, and Tang Xun.

In front of them was an altar, and next to the altar was a mahogany table.

After the Taoist made some sacrifices, he took the wooden sword and stood aside.

After the sacrifice, Quanzhou Zhizhou said loudly to Dai Cong, Huang Qi, and Tang Xun: "You are willing to go to the ocean for state affairs this time, thousands of miles, unknown return date, a thousand words are difficult to express respect, and ten thousand words are difficult to express heartfelt feelings. Today, Fang Mou prepared a little water and wine, on behalf of the state government, the elders of Quanzhou, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, I wish you all smooth sailing, two wishes you all good luck and good health, three wishes you success, and four wishes you a safe return! ”

After that, he lifted the white wine jug on the wine table, poured four glasses of wine in a row, put the wine jug down, and said, "Please!" ”

Grab a glass of wine and hold it to your chest.

Dai Cong, Huang Qi, and Tang Xun stepped forward, each took a cup, and the four of them stood opposite each other.

Dai Cong said: "Today's trip to the sea, thank you to Lord Zhizhou, the Quanzhou Prefecture and the people's fathers and elders for coming to see each other, Dai is very honored, do it first!" After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.

Master Gao said: "Thank you for your help in the past year, the fleet can go to sea today, and you have also contributed to it." If you go to the South and the West this time, it will be the luck of Quanzhou and the luck of the Great Song Dynasty. Thank you inexhaustibly, and when you return, you will have a good time drinking and enjoying it, so as to fulfill today's feelings! "I was about to finish the wine in my glass.

Tang Xun only shouted: "Thank you for sending me!" Then he drank the wine.

Quanzhou Zhizhou drank the wine in the cup, raised his hand and said with a smile: "The South Ocean is thousands of miles, and the deep sea is separated, please forgive me for not being able to send each other." ”

Dai Cong raised his hand and thanked: "Lord Zhizhou stays, don't pass by." ”

Quanzhou Zhizhou said: "Everyone is good to go." ”

After Dai Cong, Huang Qi, and Tang Xun raised their hands to thank them, they turned around and walked towards the main ship of Shenzhou not far away.

The three of them walked up to the bow of the boat and turned around to stand still.

Sailors immediately removed the bridge to the deck.

Yang Congyi, who was standing on Gaotai Mountain, saw that the time had come, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the Shenzhou has set sail!" ”

A shout shook the shore of the harbor.

Although the high platform was not far from Shenzhou, the flag bearer still displayed the yellow flag and waved the flag of "leaving Hong Kong".

After receiving the order, the flag-bearer on the Shenzhou announced in a loud voice: "Received the order to leave Hong Kong." ”

Tang Xun ordered loudly: "Leave Hong Kong!" ”

Immediately, a herald passed the order to leave the port up and down.

After a while, I saw two huge anchors being twisted, followed by more than 30 long oars on both sides rowing together, and the Shenzhou slowly moved.

One foot, three feet, five feet, one zhang......

The huge Shenzhou slowly shored off the shore and retreated into the sea.

The people on the shore saw off the three people on the bow of the Shenzhou boat and waved to them, and they also raised their hands to see them off.

Shenzhou made a U-turn in the sea, and a quarter of an hour later, sailed out of Quanzhou Bay, where its vision was blocked by Shihu Port and disappeared without a trace.

When Shenzhou went to sea, the officials of Quanzhou Prefecture left immediately, and most of the people also turned around and returned to the city.

Only a small part of them ran to Shihu Port and ran to the open sea.

The shore of Hanjiang Port was empty in an instant, and only three or two people were left standing on the shore, looking at the empty Quanzhou Bay.

Yang Congyi stepped down from the high platform, the warship was already waiting, and he was going to leave with the second batch of sea ships.

As soon as he got off the high platform, a man rushed to him.

It was none other than Gu Qingchen, who was dressed as a man.

The two stood on the shore and looked at each other speechlessly, Gu Qingchen was full of tears, and his eyes swirled.

The newlywed parting, which is miserable, how can it be expressed?

There are thousands of words in my heart, and when I come to the end, I am one foot apart, and my eyes are facing each other, but it is difficult to open my mouth to say a word.

When the incense burner was goodbye, more than two years in the blink of an eye, suffering from all kinds of hardships and difficulties, and finally got to see it, got what he wanted, and tied the knot.

Now we are only staying for a month, and we have to separate, far away from the ocean, thousands of miles apart, three or five years, and the return date is uncertain, how to make people not worry, how to make people not worry?

Yesterday's love, the heart is as sweet as honey, today is separated, the bottom of the heart is like hemp, Lang Jun is in front, infatuation is difficult to sue, a farewell after many years, how much love is left when returning?

Seeing Gu Qingchen's two lines of tears sliding down his cheeks, Yang Congyi opened his arms and hugged her into his arms, letting the tears wet her clothes and venting the sorrow in her heart.

I don't know how long later, Yang Congyi said softly: "Lady, you can wait for me at home, at least one year, at most three or five years, I will definitely come back, and we will never be separated again!" ”

Gu Qingchen cried: "Lang Jun, I'll go to sea with you." I can't bear you, I can't live without you, I want to be with you all the time, how can I live without you! ”

Yang Congyi patted her waist and said in a low voice: "Going to sea is a man's business, I don't know how much danger there are in the wind and waves, you have suffered so much in order to come back to me, how can I be willing to let you suffer a little more." After going to sea, no matter where I go, I will never forget you in my life, thinking about you all the time, thinking about your beauty, thinking about your smile, thinking about the sweet taste of being with you, because you are my lady, a lady with the bright moon as evidence. You stay at home with peace of mind and wait for me to come back, miss me, just look at the bright moon in the sky, when you look at the bright moon, I must be thinking about you. ”

Gu Qingchen also knew that it was impossible to go to sea, so he could only wait at home with peace of mind.

After listening to Yang Congyi's words, she cried even more, and said while crying: "Lang Jun, then we have an appointment, when the moon rises, we will look at the moon together, so that I can know that Lang Jun is thinking about me thousands of miles away, okay?" ”

Yang Congyi nodded and said, "Okay, lady, this is our agreement, no matter where I go, I will never forget it." ”

Gu Qingchen cried: "Well, I won't forget, I will watch the moon every day and wait for Lang Jun to come back." ”

Yang Congyi helped her up, raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face, and said with a smile: "Lady, it's not too early, I should leave." When you are alone at home, you must eat and dress well, eat and sleep well, recuperate well, exercise more, and don't let yourself get sick. When I come back, you'll have to give me many more children. ”

Gu Qingchen's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Lang Jun is the same, wandering outside, clothes must be warm, food must be full, don't be hungry, don't be tired, don't be desperately injured, Qingchen is waiting for you at home, and when you come back, I will definitely have a child with you, once a year." ”

Yang Congyi kissed her forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, the lady is waiting for me at home, I'm leaving." ”

After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked briskly towards the warship, without looking back.

On board the warship, an order was given: "Leave the port!" ”

The sergeant then withdrew to the bridge, wringed the anchor, and the long oars were rowed with a clatter, and the ship slowly shored offshore.

Yang Congyi stood at the bow of the boat and waved to Gu Qingchen non-stop, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and drifted into the sea with the wind. In just one month, he has completely fallen in love with this affectionate, enthusiastic and tenacious girl, with her, what do you want in this life? However, before he had time to taste the body taste, he would be separated by thousands of miles and separated for a long time, and he could not bear this kind of pain.

Watching the warship go away, Lang Jun disappeared, and Gu Qingchen stood on the shore and cried.

Not long after the warship disappeared, Gu Qingchen suddenly turned around and ran towards the open sea, where he could take one more look!

As the main ship of Shenzhou left and sailed into Quanzhou Bay, Shihu Port also left in turn under the command of Jiang Kai.

More than an hour later, all the ships in Shihu Port went offshore and lined up to sail to the open sea.

At the same time, Xiutu Port was under the command of Shen Jin, and the sea ships also left one after another.

More than an hour later, the last ship in Xiutu Port went out to sea.

As the warship of the palace sailed into the open sea, there was no merchant ship in the entire Quanzhou Bay.

The entire Huiyi fleet has gone to sea safely and smoothly, and the merchant ships have been stretching for hundreds of miles, heading towards the South Seas.

On the outer shore, two people watched the last ship disappear on the sea, still standing in a daze.

"Who are you going to give?"

"Send my brother, he is going back to Yizuo to join the army. What about you? ”

"Send my senior brother, he is going back to Yiyou to join the army."

"Lord Yang is your senior brother? It's really fateful. Let's go together! I just happened to ask you about something, don't you mind? ”

“......”

The two of them took one last look at the vast, empty sea, and turned to leave.
