Chapter 3 Return to the Ming Dynasty
"I think I know what's going on. www.biquge.info"Xu Lang put down the telescope in his hand--- this telescope is a quadruple telescope on the stall, although it is not clear, but it can also be seen approximately--- turned around from the rotating window and said to Sun Tianhao, "We have crossed." β
"Crossed?" Sun Tianhao jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, "Really? Hey, that's interesting. β
"You." Xu Lang shook his head, "Heartless, you are so happy to have crossed?" After a few hours of chatting, the two people gradually became familiar with each other, and they didn't care so much about talking.
"What you can't do in eight lifetimes, can you not be happy?" Sun Tianhao grabbed the telescope and leaned on the window, "Let me see, where have we traveled back?" β
Xu Lang sat down on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, and said, "Do you see the clothes worn by the soldiers on the city wall?" If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Ming Dynasty. That's a mandarin duck jacket. β
There were three people seated in the Pearl restaurant. In addition to Zhang Guodong and Jiang Beiming, there is also an old man in his 60s. On this ship, Xu Lang is not the only one who guesses that he may have traveled back to the Ming Dynasty, but there is another person, this old man in his 60s--- Lu Tianxiang, professor of history and doctoral supervisor of Normal University. The Pearl carried a tour group composed of more than 50 young university teachers from the Normal University, which was originally a summer vacation tour group for young teachers organized by the school, because Lu Tianxiang himself was highly respected in the school, and he had just retired last semester, and his wife happened to be the high school class teacher of the Pearl captain Zhang Guodong that year, so under the kind invitation of these teachers in their 30s, he also took his wife to participate in this tour group.
After Jiang Beiming boarded the Pearl for the second time, he and Zhang Guodong took the telescope and observed Sanya Bay for a long time, but the two of them couldn't figure out what was going on with the ancient city on the shore and the strangely dressed soldiers and people in the ancient city. So I personally went to invite Professor Lu to the restaurant.
Professor Lu used Zhang Guodong's telescope to look at the ancient city for ten minutes, and then sat down at the table without saying a word. Jiang Beiming glanced at Zhang Guodong suspiciously, and was about to say something, but Zhang Guodong waved his hand at him, because he knew that Professor Lu would not say anything easily without a certain certainty.
"Xiao Jiang, Guodong." Professor Lu finally spoke, "One of the two of you is an active soldier, the other has been a soldier, and now you are two captains, so I know everything, and I have to say everything." β
"Professor Lu, you can say whatever you want." Jiang Beiming couldn't wait a little, "What the hell is going on on the shore?" β
Lu Tianxiang glanced at Jiang Beiming and Zhang Guodong, and said slowly: "If it's really not filming or acting on the shore, or pretending to be something, then it should be the Ming Dynasty." β
"Ming Dynasty?!" Zhang Guodong and Jiang Beiming exclaimed in unison, "Old professor, this matter is no joke. β
Lu Tianxiang still said in a calm tone: "Do you think I'm joking? Their attire, the soldiers' clothes, the artillery on the city walls, the structure of the ancient city, all of these are typical characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, it should still be the late Ming Dynasty, don't forget, I am studying the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Sanya was called Yazhou in the Ming Dynasty, and there was indeed an army stationed, which should be a general garrison during the Wanli period to guard against the Li people and pirates. β
Zhang Guodong and Jiang Beiming glanced at each other, no one spoke, and they really had nothing to say, which was too suspicious.
"Both." Seeing that Zhang Guodong and Jiang Beiming didn't speak, Lu Tianxiang continued, "It's useless for us to guess so much here, to find out the real situation, I suggest that you better send people to the shore to have a look, of course, safety first." Xiao Jiang, aren't you the captain of the missile boat, you should have weapons on board. β
"Xiao Jiang." Zhang Guodong said, "I think Professor Lu's suggestion is reasonable, instead of guessing here, let's send a few people ashore to take a look, I have been the captain of the Red Arrow for 5 years, I just want to know how many light weapons you have on the boat, of course, if you are convenient to disclose." β
"When has this been, what else is convenient or inconvenient, we are really on the same boat now." Jiang Beiming said helplessly, "I'll tell you the truth, our boat should be full of 47 people, but 2 people did not sail this time, but we carried a Marine Corps infantry squad of 10 people, and a total of 55 people went to Nansha to change the defense." And brought a little supplies, not much. Now in addition to the original heavy weapons on the speedboat, there is also a twin 14.5 high machine, a 5.8 95 machine gun, 20 03 rifles, 4 54 pistols, about 20 grenades, in addition to a grenade launcher, an 85 sniper rifle, no bazooka, shells, bullets are quite sufficient, that's all. β
"Do you think that's going to work?" Zhang Guodong said, "There are a few people from your side, and a few people from our side, equipped with weapons, go up and have a look, and when the situation is clarified, we will make the next decision." If you really travel back to the Ming Dynasty, this will be a lot of fun. β
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare manpower immediately, and I'll lead the team myself."
"Take me with you." Professor Lu Tianxiang suddenly interjected.
"No, no." Zhang Guodong and Jiang Beiming immediately stopped, "How can you go, no, no." β
"I'm not going, any of you who understands the history and customs of the Ming Dynasty can judge more accurately than me." The old professor's temper was still a little stubborn, "Also, we need to find someone who can understand the local dialect, let's go up, I'm afraid no one can understand the Yazhou dialect of the Ming Dynasty." β
Half an hour later, the three landers selected by the Pearl were standing on the deck waiting for Jiang Beiming's rubber boat. The first mate Qiu Peng led the team, and the chief engineer Wang Zhaoxing was selected because he was also retired from the Navy and knew how to use a gun. The last one was actually Xu Lang. Lu Tianxiang is old, Zhang Guodong can't ask this old man to do such a dangerous thing anyway, and the people from the history department did not participate in this tour group this time, so he pulled the general from the spur, picked around, and picked Xu Lang, a half-hung history fan from the Chinese department, better than nothing.
"Remember." Zhang Guodong saw Jiang Beiming's rubber boat heading towards the Pearl, and hurried to make a final explanation, "No matter what happens, your own safety is the most important, don't have any dangerous behavior, just run if you can, understand?" β
"Understood."
"Xiao Xu." Zhang Guodong turned his head to Xu Lang, "Supposedly, you are a passenger on the ship, so you shouldn't go to this missionγγγγγγ β
"I understand, Captain." Xu Lang interrupted Zhang Guodong's words, "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, there is nothing for us, we are all a family." β
"Okay, okay, then I won't say more."
Jiang Beiming boarded the deck of the Pearl, followed by a burly Marine sergeant with three 03 rifles on his back.
"Tell me about it." Jiang Beiming pointed to the sergeant behind him, "Marine Corps Sergeant Squad Leader Lin Zhaolong." β
"Hello everyone." Lin Zhaolong gave a standard military salute, then untied the rifle behind him and handed it to the three people in front of him, "I'll teach you how to use Type 03 first." β
"I'll forget it." Xu Lang pushed away the rifle handed over, "It's so big, I put five shots during military training in college, and I still hit the eighty-one bar, of course, 0 rings, and I didn't even touch the target." β
"Let's learn, this time and that time." Lu Tianxiang didn't know when he came to the deck, and he happened to hear Xu Lang's words.
"Okay then." Xu Lang took the rifle and followed Lin Zhaolong to the bow of the boat. Lu Tianxiang turned his head to Jiang Beiming and asked, "Have you found someone who understands the local dialect?" β
"Don't tell me, old professor, there really is one." Jiang Beiming said a little excitedly, "There is a senior soldier in the Marine Corps, his hometown is Sanya, he grew up here, and he can also speak the dialect of Sanya. I brought it here and I'm waiting in the dinghy. β
"Ugh." Lu Tianxiang sighed, "Growing up in Sanya, I don't necessarily understand Guyazhou dialect, but that's the only way." Hurry up, it's getting dark. β
The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the sea. The dinghy quietly approached a beach about 3 miles from the ancient city. It was Jiang Beiming's decision to choose to go ashore here, which was too weird, so Jiang Beiming decided not to drive directly over blatantly, but to use reconnaissance to find out the situation.
Eight people in the rubber boat jumped down,--- four marines, Jiang Beiming plus three people from the Pearl. Leaving one Marine senior soldier to guard the rubber boat, the other seven men quickly climbed to a hill in front of them, and from here they could see everything from the view of the ancient city.
"What do you think?" Jiang Beiming handed the military binoculars in his hand to Xu Lang, who was lying on his stomach. Xu Lang took it and slowly glanced ahead, the effect of this military telescope was many times better than that of his own stall.
"It should be the Ming Dynasty, you look at their costumes, red mandarin duck battle jackets, and then look at their flags, typical Ming Dynasty flags. According to Professor Lu, this should be the seat of Yazhou in the Ming Dynasty, and in the second year of Wanli, Yang Wei, the capital of Qiongzhou, was a member of the right battalion of the general staff, Zhazhou, and defended the sea. To 45 years, set up a member of the former division of the water village to guard Sanya Port. Looking at the scale of this ancient city, it should be. And you see, they have already closed the gates. Xu Lang put down the binoculars and said to Lin Zhaolong, who was holding a camera next to him, "Sergeant Lin, take more photos and go back to the old professor to study and study, I'm a half-ass, that's all I have." However, it's best to ask a local. At the very least, we need to figure out what year it is. β
"What are you kidding, how do you find it?" Lin Zhaolong replied dissatisfiedly
"Hey, hey." Xu Lang laughed wickedly, "Aren't you marines the best at scratching tongues?" Grab one. β
"That's a scout, not a marine."
"Stop arguing." Jiang Beiming interrupted the argument between the two, "But Mr. Xu's words also have some truth, it's best to catch someone and ask." β
"Chief." Lin Zhaolong was anxious, "We're just guessing now." If it is not crossed, arrest the common people, it will be a military court. β
"I know." Jiang Beiming's eyes rolled a few times, "That's what I said." β
"Captain, Captain." Qiu Peng next to him shouted eagerly, "There are two people over there." β
"Where?" The eyes of the six people looked in the direction of Qiu Peng's finger. On the path below the mountain beam, two people came from afar.
"Hey,!" Xu Lang slapped his thigh and couldn't help shouting in a low voice, "Absolutely Ming Dynasty people, you look at their clothes, they are still scholars, look, look, they are all wearing headscarves, they should be Xiucai, carrying a box, there must be four books and five classics inside." β
"Sergeant." Jiang Beiming ordered in a low voice, "I order you to take your soldiers and quickly intersperse them to the rear and block the retreat." The rest waited as I commanded. β
"Yes." Lin Zhaolong no longer insists now, "Wang Qianxiang, Liu Jun." Come with me. β
The three Marines bent over their waists and moved rapidly towards the rear of the comer.
Xu Lang's palms holding the gun were sweating, although it was 7 to 2, and there were professional soldiers in charge, but he was beaten out of his mother's womb, when did he do anything about blocking the road and kidnapping tickets.
"Teacher Xu is nervous?" Jiang Beiming patted Xu Lang on the back. Xu Lang smiled awkwardly in return.
"Attention, everyone." Seeing the two people under the mountain beam getting closer and closer, Jiang Beiming suddenly grabbed the 03 rifle and shouted, "Rush down with me." β
Four men with guns in their hands rushed down the mountain beam. The mountain beam itself is not high, and in just over 20 seconds, the four people have already stood on the road that must be passed by the comers.
The two people on the opposite side stood stupidly and didn't move, and they didn't know if they were scared stupid or couldn't run. Jiang Beiming walked in front of them and was about to speak, but the two of them suddenly fell to their knees, saying something in their mouths, looking like they were begging for something, but unfortunately Jiang Beiming didn't understand a word.
"Lin Zhaolong, hurry up and call Liu Jun over." Seeing Lin Zhaolong and the three of them running from the rear from a distance, Jiang Beiming shouted eagerly. Liu Jun ran a few steps and ran to Jiang Beiming's side. Jiang Beiming pointed to the two people kneeling on the ground and said, "What are they talking about?" β
Liu Jun frowned and listened for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "Report chief, I basically don't understand ---." Still, they should be begging for mercy. β
"Nonsense, you still need to say this, fools can see that they are begging for mercy." Jiang Beiming was a little crying and laughing, "You told them that we don't rob money or kill people, just to ask them a few questions." β
Liu Jun leaned down and said a few words in the Sanya dialect, but the two of them didn't say anything other than pleading. Liu Jun stood up very helplessly: "Chief, they can't understand what I said." β
"Captain." At this time, Xu Lang walked over from behind, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, it's getting dark, let's bring people back first." β
"That's all there is to it. Sergeant, bring the people back first. β
But no matter how much everyone persuaded and pulled, these two people just couldn't get up, let alone follow obediently. Lin Zhaolong walked behind the two of them, and looked at the back of their heads, and the two people who couldn't stop pleading immediately lay down on the ground quietly. Lin Zhaolong picked one up and turned around to leave, but saw Xu Lang smiling at him next to him: "Sergeant Lin is not afraid of entering the military court?" β
"I want to go in, and I have to have it here. Let's go. β
