12. Cantonese sugar pills
In Zhangzhou, Bai Shuilang, who came from the local area and Quanzhou to serve, there were 10,000 people, each tied a red forehead, beat the drum like thunder, and began to circle the Wuyalou boat where Gao Yue was, cheering on it.
Most of the previous officials discriminated against them, almost regarded them as lowly people, and sometimes they were regarded as pirates, and they were only allowed to live on ships.
On the ship of the Wuya Building, Gao Yue lived there, raised his Yunfu sword, and shouted at them: "From now on, you will no longer be Bai Shuilang, but Bai Shuijun...... Yangzhou and Chuzhou, each set up a district, for you to wait for the station, to be recruited by the imperial court, you must be brave and loyal. β
The Bai Shui Lang were all on their respective boats, bowed to Gao Yue, and then shouted in unison:
"To the east to the boundless sea,
Thousands of acres of land from the west.
Songshan sand trail,
Zhu Zi is out of the middle! β
There are more than 300 grass skimming boats of Bai Shuilang and the yachts, most of their boats are long and narrow, the height of the boats is steep, the canopy can be rolled up, and everyone rows the oars, so that the wind is open, and the oars are used against the wind, it can be said that they can advance and retreat freely, like hussars in the sea.
From Quanzhou to Guangzhou, there are thousands of miles away.
Gao Yue asked Zhang Xi and Bai Liangqi to make a marching plan, and the final route was determined to be from Quanzhou to Chaozhou first, and then from Chaozhou to Haifeng, and then take advantage of the high tide in Lingdingyang (now the Pearl River Estuary) to enter Panyu City and meet Du You.
When he arrived in Chaozhou, Gao Yue saw a huge sea crocodile floating in the bay on the deck, and couldn't help sighing, "People say that Chaozhou has two evils, one is miasma, and the other is crocodiles. Now it is late autumn, and the miasma is calming, but the crocodile is still arrogant. β
Bai Liangqi said to Gao Yue: "I am in Jiangdong, and I have also heard that this crocodile in Chaozhou is powerful, and adult men are bitten by it, and their bodies are broken in an instant, so smaller fishing boats or rafts do not dare to go to sea at all." β
"Give me a shot with a firearm to disperse, so as to strengthen the army and eliminate hatred." Gao Yue wanted to find the crocodile's bad luck, so he waved his hand and shouted.
On the Haihu warship, the soldiers of the town navy set up the thunderbolt, the mouth of the gun stretched out of the bamboo window, bang endlessly, the projectile hit the sea surface, stirred up the water column, many huge crocodiles were hit, blood seeped out of the sea water, struggled to swim to the shore, some did not know death, angry attack the sea bird boat, but was condescending by the soldiers, stabbed to death with a long lance, dragged the body with a white belly, cut the waves.
When the people and soldiers of Chaozhou City saw this scene, they all cheered and worshiped the country as if they were gods.
Gao Yue asked the craftsman in the ship to peel off the skin of the carcass of the big crocodile and use it to make armor, while the bloody flesh hung on the bow of the fifth-floor tooth boat.
After arriving at SITC for anchorage and rest, the fleet set off again and began to enter the Dingyang.
On the east side of the ocean, there is a large island stretching, Gao Yue looks far away, and knows that this is where the Hongkong of the later generations is located, and the further north is a circle drawn by the old man Tianzun.
In the vast Lingding Ocean, the fleet began to turn, and finally at the Hutou Mountain in Dongguan County, which is not far from Panyu City, where the Guangzhou Mansion is located, Gao Yue and the Sanya, the staff climbed the Hutou Mountain, and looked to the east, only to see that there are large sugarcane fields here, and there are scattered in the middle of the cutting of the house, dock wall, as well as a district and a district of the cutting households (mostly Qiang and Li people, as well as slang bureaucrats) of the house, farther away in the forest, and the fireworks of deforestation and land reclamation are pervasive, "Who would have thought that here after more than a thousand years, It was once the entertainment capital of the whole world? Gao Yue couldn't help but fall into the myth of history.
In the end, the entire fleet was moored under the Lantai in Panyu Xinnancheng, and Du You personally came to greet him and invited Wei Guogong into the military palace.
The Wu Yi Army, the Zhen Navy, and the White Water Army all stayed in the camp outside the Xicheng trench, and inside was the Fan Baofang in Guangzhou, where there were many Hu merchants coming and going, and the soldiers were very curious.
Du You was very generous, and he had nothing to say about the reinforcements, not only rice, fruit wine, but also gave each reinforcement a special banana cloth and two cane sugar pills.
Wu Yijun's soldiers like cane sugar pills the most, and they all say that after eating, they are worth half a bucket of rice, and people will become energetic.
"Straight sissy thief, is it really so effective?" Ming Huaiyi didn't believe it, so he ate one, and after eating, he shouted coolly, saying that his tongue was full of relish, and his body was like a spring, and he had strength, and he could ride a horse with a long lance, and then break through the enemy formation three times, and it was not in vain that I traveled three thousand miles by sea to come here.
The military officials of Guangzhou Mansion said to Ming Huaiyi with a smile, this cane sugar pill, even in Chang'an, you have to eat it with nobles of the five grades, but when you go into battle to kill the enemy, Du Gong will supply two before the battle.
Ming Huaiyi was greedy, so he asked Daddy when he could let us eat this sweet and delicious pill in Huaiyang?
The military official replied that as long as the barbarians succeeded, there would be a surplus of sugar in Lingnan to sell in the north, and there would definitely be one sold in Yangzhou.
In the main hall of the military palace, Du You served Gao Yue at the banquet, "This Lingnan wine vessel is different. Gao Yue admired, playing with the colorful wine glass in his hand.

In fact, he knows, but he still waits for the master to be like a few treasures.
Sure enough, Du You introduced very complacently: "This is the Xuanlin Cup sold by the Great Food Country from the west of the Peerless Domain, also known as the Medicine Jade Cup." β
Gao Yue thought to himself that the name of our Huaxia is good, Xuan Lin and Yaoyu, but they are much more stylish than any glass.
In fact, in addition to porcelain, I can also make glass in Huainan...... He can also make his own in Guangzhou.
However, for the sake of Yangzhou's first-mover advantage, Gao Yue did not say anything, but also admired the fine wine during the banquet, "I have long heard that Lingnan's Boluo Guijiu is worthy of its reputation!" As he spoke, he poured Lingnan's unique osmanthus wine with a Xuan Lin cup, the color was as warm as jade, and after drinking, it was fragrant and delicious.
Then several servants came in and presented several Shouyang bowls.
The inside is full of sea-scorched sea red crabs, as well as "cockles", that is, pike crabs.
"Daddy, what is this?" Ming Huaiyi, who accompanied him to the banquet, asked.
Gao Yue said that this is a crab, and you people from the Northland rarely see it.
Then Gao Yue elegantly used all kinds of silver utensils on the table to analyze the crab strips, peel them off carefully, and sure enough, the crab roe was yellow and red, like the egg yolk of a chicken and duck, and the crab white was as snowy as a pig paste, Gao Yue used a silver chopstick to remove it and eat it all, and then sucked the crab claws, and then broke the shell to eat meat.
Cai Fengyuan, Ming Huaiyi, Guo Zaizhen, etc., who accompanied them, where did they eat this thing like this, looking at Wei Guogong's bearing, they were so envious that they also imitated the crab eating, and the result was so anxious - Ming Huaiyi's face was even more red in the end, and he gnawed on the crooked mouth of the cockle, and his teeth and crab shells touched the sky loudly, which made the servants and singers in the banquet all snicker.
"Wei Gong, this is a famous dish in our Cantonese Mansion, 'selling wicks'." While Du You was talking, the servants carried a large cauldron and placed it in the center of the feast, and when the lid of the kettle was lifted, the snow-white mist came out with a fragrance, but Gao Yue couldn't help but be frightened when he looked at the cauldron.
