At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were many wars and turmoil in the area of S East (east of Kunshan Mountain), and the heroes competed with each other, and it took many years for the Tang Dynasty to be pacified. The result of this www.biquge.info is that the people are killed and injured and scattered. By the time of Gaozong, there were still many areas in the east of S that were vast and sparsely populated, and there was no disaster of flooding of the Yellow River, drought and frost locusts, and the people could still live in peace.

Therefore, there are few people in the eastern prefectures and counties in the lower reaches of the Yellow River who are willing to leave their homes and go overseas. Most of the immigrants who went overseas were concentrated in Guanzhong, which was severely affected by the disaster, and the densely populated areas of Hedong and western Henan such as Luoyang.

When the huge fleet of immigrants of the Anton Pioneer Group filled the Yellow River and went downstream, there were many people on both sides of the lower reaches of the Yellow River who came to see the excitement, and when they saw the cars and boats in the fleet that they had never seen before, they all pointed to the cars and boats in the Yellow River curiously and started talking.

About one-fifth of the ships in the transport fleet are ships with ten wheels on each side, powered by human pedals in the cabin, and the speed is much lighter than that of oars and sails.

In the carriage and ship, the large ones can carry 600 to 800 people, and the small ones can also carry more than 100 people.

Most of these vehicles and ships were produced in the Weihe Shipyard and Luoyang Shipyard set up by Li Yu, and their appearance was very different from the ones built by the shipyards in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cars and ships appeared in the south as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and after Li Yu learned about it, he recruited a large number of skilled shipwrights from those shipyards in the south to improve the cars and ships in the north. Only then did the vehicles and ships driving in the Yellow River now have a faster and larger sailing speed and body shape than the vehicles and ships in the south, and the sail layout is more reasonable, and it has also broken through a major disadvantage that vehicles and ships cannot enter the sea.

Through the research of the soft sail technology proposed by Li Yu, combined with the traditional hard sail, the sail power system of the combination of soft and hard sails and the layout of the soft and hard sails that have been explored by the boatmakers for several years can be used by the boats, with the wheel technology, so that the vehicles and ships can go regardless of rivers, lakes and seas. The disadvantage is that the speed in the sea is much slower than that of a pure sea boat, but on the windless sea, it can provide a steady stream of power to the ship, which is also a big advantage at sea.

More than 500 migrant ships set sail from the Weihe ferry in Guanzhong and the Yellow River ferry in the north of Luoyang City. Except for one-fifth of the fleet's vehicles and ships that can enter the country, the rest of the ships are river boats that can only sail in the Yellow River, and after sailing to the ferry port of Bohai County in Dizhou, the immigrants change to the large sea ships that have been waiting here for Jiaolong Haihang.

I thought that the riverboat I was riding was big enough, but when I saw two 2,000-ton giant ships parked at the ferry port in Bohai County, the people who had just come off the riverboat were stunned.

"This, there is such a huge ship in this world?" Zhang Chengqi, who had never been to the south and was not very knowledgeable, held on to the side of his ship, pointing to the two huge ships in the east that covered the sky and the sun, and it was hard to believe that manpower could have such great power.

Wang Jun looked at the giant ship from afar, and the shock in his heart was difficult to describe in words, and he sighed that after half a lifetime, he didn't know that there was a huge ship as big as a palace in the world. I sat down and thought I had bought a giant riverboat that was second to none in the Yellow River, but it turned out to be as small as a mayfly in front of the giant ship in front of me.

It is estimated that if you can buy a huge ship in front of you, how many thousands of stones will be transported to the north from the south and overseas specialties in the future! One trip, no need to transport goods for a year.

"It's really not in vain to go overseas in person this time."

Wang Jun rubbed his fat palms, a little excited, and called an entourage to send him to inquire about the cost of the giant ship and where to buy it.

Other powerful families and businessmen who had the same mind as Wang Jun were not idle, since they wanted to plant economic seeds in overseas tuntian, they would have to be transported back to Datang after harvesting, and the large sea ships were their first choice.

In the past few days of transferring at the ferry in Bohai County, Gu Cheng, deputy director of Jiaolong Hainan Airlines, who was in charge of the transportation task, was not less disturbed by a group of powerful and wealthy businessmen from Beijing, and asked where to buy the sea ships at the ferry.

For this reason, Gu Cheng has helped Liaodong Shipyard to attract customers in the past few days, and by the way, he also pulled some orders for Youzhou Shipyard, which has weak shipbuilding capacity. Yiran said happily: "When I return to Andong after this mission is completed, it must be another great achievement in front of King Yan, and I can solve the gold-swallowing beast of Liaodong shipbuilding that has been unable to make ends meet for His Highness." ”

The fleet set sail again, half the size of the previous fleet on the Yellow River.

Only two 2,000-ton giant ships carried more than 2,000 people, and there were four giant ships of more than 1,000 tons, and the rest of the large and small sea ships and 100 vehicles and ships that could enter the sea, transporting more than 20,000 immigrants and galloping on the vast sea.

It is expected that in 10 days, the fleet departing from the Weihe ferry will arrive at the Bohai County ferry port and change to sea boats to form a second fleet, which will follow the pace of the first fleet to Taiwan and land at the mouth of the Tamsui River.

A fleet carries tens of thousands of people, and there is not a small amount of water and food consumed on the way. There is a nearly 4,000-mile sea route from Bohai County to Taiwan's Vale to the Vale, and it takes two months to reach it with a tailwind in winter, and it takes two months to arrive with stops and supplies along the way.

To this end, Jiaolong Hainan Airlines set up supply points on Daxie Island (later Changshan Island) in the Miaodao Islands, Donghai County on Yuzhou Island in the east of Haizhou, Hushuzhou in the mouth of the Yangtze River, Wengshan County in the Zhoushan Islands, and Haishan Mountain in Fuzhou. It serves as a place for the fleet to dock to replenish fresh water and emigrate ashore to recuperate.

More than 10 days after the First Fleet left Daxie Island, the Second Fleet, carrying immigrants from Guanzhong, sailed into the port of Daxie Island under the watchful eyes of the officers and men guarding the island.

Ninety-nine percent of the people on board the fleet had never sailed on a ship, and after a few days of tossing and turning on the sea, the people rushed to get off the ship and set foot on the familiar and down-to-earth land again, and their pale faces turned rosy.

Song He led a group of brothers to get off the boat crookedly, and his head was still a little dizzy when he stepped on the solid ground. As others said, there is a difference between taking a sea boat and taking a river boat, the wind and waves on the sea are really not comparable to rivers and lakes, and when the boat is bumpy, the whole person is uncomfortable as if he has knocked over the five-flavor bottle.

I saw a sturdy man standing on the side of the boat enjoying the sea and sky with joy, but he was caught in the rolling sea by the sudden waves, and he didn't even have time to shout.

Song He and the others were so frightened that they no longer dared to run to the side of the boat to look at the sea, this was taking their lives!

There were thatched huts and tents for the emigrants on the island, and the settlers who had come ashore to rest would spend the days in which they were temporarily resettled during the replenishment of the fleet. As for the powerful and wealthy businessmen, they only need to pay a room fee to stay in the Mingyuexuan Hotel opened by Yanwangfu on the island. All kinds of equipment are readily available, as well as island characteristics, which make the powerful and wealthy businessmen who live here full of praise.

The geographical location of Daxie Island is excellent, only a dozen miles away from Penglai County in Dengzhou, and it is on the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, and the north-south sea communication line.

With Li Yu's governance of Andong, the local security environment has stabilized and the economy has recovered. Li Yu also vigorously developed the maritime trade between Andong and the Central Plains, stimulating the development of the north-south maritime trade of the Tang Dynasty, and the commercial status of Daxie Island became more and more important, and the number of maritime merchants coming and going was also increasing year by year.

Song He rubbed his still dizzy head and came out of the thatched house to breathe, and at a glance of the corner of his eye, he found a familiar figure walking listlessly in front of him.

Song He trotted forward and grabbed the young man's shoulder and turned over to take a look, and sure enough, he was angry and angry for a while.

"Qingjiang, why are you here?"

The young man is Song Qingjiang, the nephew of Song He, who bought a young man's ticket with the private money he secretly saved over the years, and secretly followed his uncle on the boat after leaving a letter to his family.

"Ha, uncle is so coincidental."

Facing his uncle's questioning, Song Qingjiang's face stiffened, and he poured the prepared words in his stomach.

Song He almost gave Song Qingjiang a slap, and angrily carried Song Qingjiang back to his residence. The brothers were all surprised when they saw Song Qingjiang's half of the children, and when they came back to their senses, they stepped forward and patted Song Qingjiang's shoulder and laughed: "Song Dayang, you are really a wild horse that has escaped the loose, galloping thousands of miles away!" ”
