Chapter 422: Wanfu
For the next few days, everything was unwavering. After nearly ten days of vomiting and vomiting, Ding Daquan finally began to adapt to life on the ship, and his whole spirit gradually improved, or he no longer worried about the future, Ding Daquan was a lot fatter than before.
Since the sand table deduction that day was fruitless, Jia Rudao has never discussed the sand table deduction with Yu Jie and others, many times he is playing chess or reading books with Xu Ruoxi in the cabin on the fifth floor, and occasionally goes to the cabin on the third floor, and only talks to Ding Daquan and others about how to govern after going to Guangdong, although Yu Jie's eyes are very happy to see that hunting and want to continue to talk to Jia Yidao about the things on paper, but seeing that Jia Yidao has no intention of bothering on this matter, Yu Jie's dare not make any more troubles. I had to think about it secretly in private.
If someone told Yu Jie, Ding Daquan, Hong Wenhao and others that Jia Yidao was still familiar with military affairs, I am afraid that none of them would believe it. It's just that after this period of travel, the three of them, including Jiang Hai, know that the youngest magnate in the court is not only extremely familiar with military affairs, but also has his own set of ideas about the military affairs of the Great Song Dynasty today. Even the tactics of the sailor can be at your fingertips.
Maybe the myth that I was born to know really exists, which also made several people even more in awe of Jia Rudao in their hearts.
The fleet moved forward without hurry, and it happened to arrive in Yinxian on the thirtieth day of the lunar month.
Yinxian County (later Ningbo City) is the government of Qingyuan Mansion (later Ningbo) on Liangzhejiang East Road. Qingyuan Mansion was still called Mingzhou when Ningzong was in the time, because Mingzhou was the residence of Emperor Ningzong, and the Qiandi was the place where Ningzong lived before he became the emperor, and before Ningzong ascended the throne, he lived in Ningzhou. After Ningzong ascended the throne as emperor, he changed his name to Qingyuan, and then Mingzhou was officially renamed Qingyuanfu.
In Yin County, the Yongjiang River, the Yao River, and the Fenghua River converge. From the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, after the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Yinxian County has formed a river-sea transport advantage that can be directly connected to Chang'an in the north, and the sea in the east, before the seventh year of the reign of Song Shenzong Xining (1074), the Goryeo envoys all landed in Dengzhou, Shandong (later Penglai), and then went by land to the capital Kaifeng "tribute", that is, "tribute east road". Later, in the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), Emperor Shenzong issued an edict and set the port of departure to Japan and Lizhou as Myeongju, which is today's Gyeongwonfu, which systematically ensured that Gyeongwonfu became the most important trading port for Japan and Goryeo. Since then, the tributary envoys of Goryeo and Japan have landed here, and then transferred to Hangzhou to Kaifeng via the canal, that is, the "South Tributary Road".
At that time, Goryeo merchants built Goryeo embassies in Miju (later Zhucheng, Shandong Province) and Myeongju for the annual trade envoys to the Song Dynasty. After the shame of Jingkang, the first emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, blindly asked Jin for peace, Jianyan three years (park 1129), the Jin army rushed south to attack Yangzhou, at that time Zhao Gou had given up Nanjing Yingtianfu and fled to Yangzhou, the Jin army attacked, Zhao Gou crossed the river in embarrassment, through Zhenjiang Mansion to Hangzhou, Zhao Gou did not want to resist, and successively sent more than ten envoys to the then Jin Emperor Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng to seek peace, but Wanyan Sheng was completely unmoved, and in September of the same year ordered the Jin army to cross the Jiangnan invasion, Zhao Gou had no choice but to lead a group of ministers to continue to flee south. In October, he went to Yuezhou (later Shaoxing, Zhejiang), then fled to Mingzhou (later Ningbo, Zhejiang), and from Mingzhou to Dinghai (later Zhoushan, Zhejiang), and finally drifted at sea and fled to Wenzhou (later Wenzhou, Zhejiang).
It was at that time that the Jin army pursued Zhao Gou all the way, swept through almost the entire Jiangnan region, and turned the originally rich granary of Jiangnan into a vast expanse. And Qingyuan Mansion, that is, Mingzhou at that time, was also burned because of the murder of the Jin soldiers. By the time the Jin army had to retreat south due to weather conditions in the summer of the fourth year of Jianyan, Qingyuan Mansion was almost in ruins.
Of course, at that time, it was not only the Qingyuan Mansion that was in ruins, but almost most of the entire Jiangnan region was poisoned by the Jin army, and no one was spared.
Today's Qingyuan Mansion was rebuilt after the Jin army withdrew south. For more than 100 years, although the tributary envoys of Goryeo and Japan can land directly in Lin'an to pay tribute, Qingyuanfu is still a major trade port between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo and Japan, and since the Tang Dynasty, Mingzhou Port is the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road.
This is the second time that Jia Rudao has left Lin'an City since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, the first time is to go to Xiangyang to sacrifice the army, but this is the first time he has seen the extremely prosperous port of the Great Song Dynasty at that time. Although the rise of Lin'an, Quanzhou and Guangzhou ports in recent years has made the seaport of Qingyuanfu much less ship-to-ship, but the port of Qingyuanfu is still extremely prosperous.
In fact, Jia Rudao can also go directly from Lin'an to Qingyuan Mansion through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then enter the sea from Qingyuan Mansion. Jiang Hai also proposed to Jia Nidao in this way at that time, but Jia Nidao refused, but chose to go directly to the sea from Lin'an, and did not take the section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
The port of Qingyuan Mansion is the confluence of the three rivers, and when Jia Rudao's fleet enters the estuary, you can see that from time to time there are all kinds of ships converging from the sea to the estuary, and going upriver to Qingyuan Mansion along the estuary, and at the same time, a large number of ships go to sea from the estuary, and then go east and west.
When the ships coming and going saw Jia Rudao, a fleet with the Great Song Dragon Flag and the Sailor Battle Flag, they turned their rudders and avoided it. The merchant fleet that often goes in and out of Qingyuan Mansion is no stranger to the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is often infested by rogues, and there are many pirates on the sea, so the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty often send troops to suppress bandits.
The sailor battle flag is often seen, but the sailor warship with the dragon flag is the first time to see it. Looking at the formation of the five warships, the four of them lived on the periphery and the largest warship in the middle, and it was obvious that there were big names from the Great Song Dynasty in the fleet. The dragon flag is not something that everyone can hang.
It's just that what makes those merchant ships wonder is that what big man came from the sea to enter Qingyuan Mansion? Shouldn't it come out of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal?
The fleet sailed unhindered, and when it was about to enter the mouth of the three rivers, three other ships with the battle flags of the sailors were seen galloping out from the mouth of the Yongjiang River. All kinds of merchant ships on the route avoided one after another, quite a bit of chickens and dogs, which made Jia Rudao frown secretly. The three warships obviously slowed down when they saw Jia Rudao's fleet, and slowly approached.
"My lord, this is the warship of the Qingyuan Mansion Sailor. I think that General Zhang has already arrived at Qingyuan Mansion, so the Qingyuan Mansion Navy Division will send a warship to meet the adults. ”
When entering the estuary, Jia Nidao came to the deck, and Jiang Hai also went from his warship to Jia Nidao's boat, and saw the three sailor warships that came up and explained to Jia Nidao in a low voice. In fact, there is no need for Jiang Hai to say, Jia Rudao has already seen Zhang Xing and Xu Cheng standing on the deck of one of the three warships through the telescope in his hand...... Brawny.
While Jiang Hai was speaking, the three warships had also stopped less than thirty meters away from Jia Rudao's fleet.
Jia Rudao threw the telescope in his hand back to Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai was so shocked that he was almost distracted, and hurriedly took it. This telescope has been in Jiang Hai's hands all the way, and Ding Daquan, Hong Wenhao and Yu Jie, who have played with this thing, are full of praise for its exquisiteness. Jiang Hai, in particular, sleeps with this telescope almost every day.
Jiang Hai and Yu Jie, both of whom knew how much of a role this seemingly small thing could play in the war, and in the endless sea, with such a thing, Jiang Hai no longer had to worry about being attacked by pirates. The only thing that needs to be prevented is at night.
"My lord, that person is the Qingyuan Mansion Water Master Dutong Wanfu."
Jiang Hai picked up the binoculars and glanced at it, and quickly explained.
"Wanfu, it seems that this Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has really fattened a lot of people. Even a mere sailor is in charge, and they all wear brocade clothes and tie up jade belts like rich men. Jia Rudao smiled.
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Jiang Hai heard Jia Yidao's words, but he didn't dare to interject at all, so he had to secretly pray for Wanfu that Wanfu would have a snack and not annoy the uncle beside him. They are all sailor systems, although Jiang Hai and Wanfu are one in Xiangyang and the other in the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in Qingyuan Mansion, but there are a lot of dealings. After all, a large part of the grain, grass and ordnance transported to Xiangyang City were transported by water, so although Jiang Hai and Wanfu did not have much deep friendship with each other, they were also very familiar with each other.
For Jiang Hai, in addition to being greedy for money, loving appetite, and liking women, Wanfu is okay in everything else, and in the water war, even Jiang Hai admires Wanfu very much.
A small boat was lowered from Wanfu's boat and headed towards Jia Yidao's boat. There was no need for Jia to speak, Jia Quan'er had already consciously gone down to the bottom deck to wait.
After a while, Jia Quan'er took three people on the boat. Hearing the creaking sound of the cabin floor, Jia Rudao didn't need to think about it to know that it was caused by Wanfu, who was already big and round to a certain point. What is the scene if this floor slab can't help but suddenly collapse when Wanfu steps on it? Jia Rudao thought maliciously in his heart.
"The end ...... End...... The end of the ten thousand... Ten thousand... Rich, meet Lord Jia. ”
Wanfu secretly touched the sweat on his face, couldn't take a breath, hurriedly bowed to the ground and stammered respectfully, but fortunately, the last five words were still very coherent. Wanfu, who was hanging his head, was extremely frightened at the moment, and he himself heard the creaking sound of going upstairs just now, and since he heard it, then that Lord Jia obviously heard it too. In case he doesn't like it, Wanfu knows that he is finished.
For the first time, Wanfu felt that he might really need to pay attention to not being able to fish and meat every day, and lose the fat on his body.
Looking at the thing that was spread on the ground like a ball of meat, Jia Yidao wondered if this universal commander would be able to get up on his own. Cat flutter Chinese
