Chapter 149: The Crossing Man
The cold wind was cold, and in a wooden house, Yu Wenwen lay in a corner sheltered from the wind and posed as a 'Jing paralyzed' pose, looking at the roof in a daze, there were too many turns that had happened recently, so that he began to doubt life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The dilapidated wooden house was ventilated everywhere, and some catkins-like snowflakes leaked in, which were melted into water droplets by the bonfire on the ground in the house, and looking down at this little water stain, Yu Wenwen only felt that he was also melting.
As the so-called fear of what comes, stay away from Bazhou and stay away from your own army, and as a result, the war in Shannan is tight; Seeing that the date of return was approaching, he was attacked and wounded; After the wound was roughly healed, war broke out on the Yangtze River, and the way home was cut off.
He was in a hurry to return to Bazhou, so regardless of the war on the border of Hezhou, he resolutely said goodbye, left three letters to the emperor, the prime minister and his father-in-law respectively, and took his friends to 'pee' and set foot on the road home.
Hezhou can't get through, and in Yangzhou under the rule of the Hezhou Governor's Office, his assassin Shi Xi Chaluo will probably avenge his nephew Xi Sheng, so Yu Wenwen decided not to take this road, then the other way is to cross Dabie Mountain.
Dabie Mountain from north to south, there is a serious official road to go, that is, Gwangju in the north to Nandingju in the south, but Gwangju is the Sui realm, and the passes along the way are heavily fortified, so that you can only go over the mountain from the northeast foot of Dabie Mountain.
The mountains in that area are very 'violent', and there is no official road, there are many fierce beasts and poisonous insects, Yuwenwen feels that his face is very dark, and his luck will not be too good, if he really takes this road, he will either be headhunted, or he will be bitten by something and suffer from a strange disease, and he will die anyway.
He was still very young, and he still had ambitions that could not be realized, so he didn't want to kill himself, but he was unwilling to stay in Yecheng and resign himself to fate, so after racking his brains, he thought of the third way: the waterway.
Yecheng to Bazhou, there is no direct waterway connection, or go directly south, board a ship on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the boundary of the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion and go upstream, but there is also a war there, not to fight is a redundant move, it is better to take the land route.
Therefore, the only way to take the waterway is to follow the Yellow River to the east into the sea, bypass the Shandong Peninsula as later called, and then go south along the coastline, and turn upstream at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
The route is well established, entering the Yellow River from the water system around Yecheng, then flowing down the Yellow River estuary into the sea (Bohai Sea), bypassing the easternmost section of the Shandong Peninsula and following the coastline all the way south to Jiankang.
This route has existed since hundreds of years ago, not to mention the Yellow River, only to say that the forces of Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula are to take the coastal route south to Jiankang, and the Liaodong Gongsun Yuan during the Three Kingdoms period is to send people to take the coastal route to Dongwu for trade.
In this era, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and the Wa kingdom all had envoys who took ships to Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, and the wealthy merchants along the northern coast also sold goods, so the feasibility was very high.
A wealthy businessman who wanted to buy a glass mirror was organizing a fleet to transport goods and set off for Bazhou, so Yuwenwen took a tailwind boat 'by the way', of course, due to the reason that the risk was too great, and he did not ask for the consent of the imperial court, which belonged to 'elopement'.
According to the knowledge of later generations, Yuwenwen knew that there were typhoons on the southeast coast, but it was summer and autumn, and now it is winter that there can be no typhoons, so the coastal routes are very safe, except for the pirates who are made cameos by fishermen on the seashores or islands, there is basically no big risk.
By the north wind all the way south, the speed of the sea ship will not be low, to the mouth of the Yangtze River to turn westward, along the way there are wealthy merchants' connections are not afraid of the government check, if the upstream waterway is blocked by war, then you can also turn to the land.
When I arrived near Chen Guoyingzhou, I found a way to cross the river and enter the boundary of the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion in Jiangbei, which was my own territory, so that the thousand-mile transfer could be successfully completed and give my family a surprise.
It was a big surprise, God gave Yuwenwen a big surprise, the fleet went south smoothly after bypassing the Shandong Peninsula, and saw that it was about to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River, but encountered a big storm at night.
God knows why there is a big storm in this sea area in winter, Yuwen Wen has no time to complain that "this is not scientific", because he was immediately taught by nature to be a man and realized what is called "the power of nature".
In the midst of the stormy seas, the fleet drifted with the tide like a few small leaves, and everyone struggled to steer the boat to the shore, but the strong waves and winds swept the ship into the deep sea, sometimes at the head of the waves, sometimes at the end of the waves.
The serious amusement park "Pirate Ship" ultra-long version, which spit out the bile of Yuwenwen, who has never been seasick, is so much that most of his entourage are landlubbers, and they are even dying, in order to avoid being thrown into the sea, even everyone tied themselves in the cabin.
In the midst of the storm, the ships of the companions were constantly smashed to pieces by the huge waves, and human life was not worth mentioning in the face of nature's wrath, watching the rows of waves as high as the city walls hit, Yu Wenwen felt what it was like to despair for the first time.
"The end of the play" is the only word he can think of, and the fashionable English name is "theend".
The storm lasted all night, and by the time he lived to see the morning light after the rain had passed, there were only four ships left in the fleet of more than a dozen ships, all dilapidated and leaking.
The mainmast was broken, and the sail was barely sailing, and the people who survived the catastrophe were in the vast sea, and they could not know where they were without a reference, and they could only judge that they were already in the "black water ocean" by the color of the sea.
Just floating on the black water ocean full of water, I don't know how long, the dry food stored on the ship was enough, but the worst thing was that there was not enough fresh water, and just when everyone began to worry about dying of thirst, land appeared in front of them.
Specifically, I don't know how many days I floated to the east, and found a large piece of land, and people stepped on the solid land for the rest of their lives, almost crying with joy, seeing that there were villages, Yuwenwen also felt that he had been reborn:
Since there are people, there is no need to survive on a desert island, he is not a Bei Ye who eats any living thing alive and says "chicken tastes crunchy", and he will starve to death sooner or later when he drifts to a desert island.
The locals couldn't understand what they were saying, but based on his 'experience', he judged that he was in Tamna.
Tamna Island, which was later known as Jeju Island. At the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, U Wenwen's fleet is not too far from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and in the face of storms in this sea, the waters off Tamna Island are to the east.
However, when the locals were arguing, a beaten person shouted "Ya Yan Butterfly", ruthlessly shattering Yu Wenwen's illusion: The situation is not right!
Of course, this was not the case, and the sailors inquired around the local area and learned a piece of news that I don't know whether it was good or bad: they had come to the southwesternmost island of the Wakoku archipelago, that is, they had become the ferrymen of the Wakoku archipelago.
It should be the Kyushu Island of the future, of course, I don't know what the name is now, and Yu Wenwen is not good after hearing the exact news.
The style of painting is wrong! I'm just going home, how did I end up in this place, what do you want me to do? Yubun Nobunaga, the cloth of the world? The Yuwen clan raised by Lori? Or a certain Kage Fumi-Kojiro of the Land of Ninja?
What a mess! Do you want me to break the island and live this life? My wife and children are still waiting at home!
Yuwen Wen thought of this and broke out instantly, a whooshing sound jumped, kicked the broken basket in front of him away, hit the wooden door and bounced back, and then made up for another kick to fly, just as the wooden door was pushed open, and the basket Peng hit the person with a bang.
"Ouch!"
Zhang Yu couldn't dodge the door for a while, and when he saw Lord Lang's puffed appearance, he didn't dare to complain, and immediately told the latest news: "Master Lang, Shopkeeper Cui said that the ship will be repaired in half a month!" ”
"Half a month!"
Yu Wenwen's tone is a few degrees higher, it is November now, and it will be December in half a month, even if it goes well, I am afraid that it will be the New Year when I go to the mouth of the Yangtze River, as for when I will return to Bazhou, then hehe.
"Lord Lang! Shopkeeper Cui said, this is still directly using the wood that has not dried thoroughly to repair the boat, if you wait for those good materials, it will take a long time. ”
The puffed Yuwen Wen was spinning around the room like a headless fly, he was not an unreasonable person, it was a fact that the ship was seriously damaged, and it was also a fact that the shipbuilding industry of the Japanese country was extremely underdeveloped.
So far, there is no other way but to sit and wait, but Yuwen Wen is like an arrow, and there are too many in a day, not to mention more than a month, it is really too difficult.
As soon as his mood was bad, he began to speak with a poisonous tongue: "What about the monkeys? Where did you go to harm the good family? ”
"Lord Lang, they're looking at the sea."
"What's so good about this broken sea!!"
"Lord Lang, let's go back, it's really useless to watch the ship repair here every day..."
"Did the pigeon go?"
"Lord Lang, didn't you release it with your own hands that day? There are only a few pigeons left, and I just ask God to bless at least one of them to fly back to Bazhou. ”
Yu Wenwen walked out of the room, looked at the broken wooden boat parked in the broken ship yard and sighed: "Alas, I hope to fly back smoothly..." )
