Chapter 205: Survive in the Dead
Su Baiyi's face turned iron-blue.
Since coming to the Ming Dynasty, whether it is with Qin Jingfang or Yu Mingyu, or the rest such as Mu Yongjiang and Qiu San, there is a small feud between them, but what the civil official group has done this time makes him hate!
Isn't it a battle of truths?
Isn't it just that the Tao is different, and the difference is not conspiratory, as for putting Lao Tzu to death?
When a new idea is born, if it conflicts with the old idea, it is inevitable that someone will shed blood and sacrifice. This is true in the West, and it is also true in the East.
Copernicus, Galileo, and Bruno were either banned or imprisoned, while the grieved were burned to death.
Su Baiyi understood all this, so he was cautious.
Walk carefully, study carefully, and slowly broaden your way to let the world know.
It can be said that it took a lot of effort to make new ideas sprout smoothly.
He doesn't fight for all existing interests!
In everything and the conflicts between the nobles and the civil officials for a few days, he tried his best to buffer.
Even as a businessman, he has always held the idea of living in peace. If it weren't for Mu Yongjiang's lack of access, he would not have entered the textile industry early to squeeze out the interests of traditional businessmen.
The construction of the railway is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but in order not to burden the country, he took great pains to operate and painstakingly carve and plan, and what was the result?
Lao Tzu didn't stretch out his hand to ask for money from the country, and he didn't touch the interests of your civilian clique!
It's okay to fight and quarrel for two sentences, and even if you block me outside the Yongding Gate, it's understandable that you want to recover the holy decree.
But these three ships fired directly without saying a word, which is life-threatening......
Bully!
Unreasonable!
Su Baiyi has passed the age of complaining about everything, but at this moment, his heart is cold, and he feels extremely aggrieved.
I always thought that civil officials would fight with reason in the court even if there were contradictions, and I always thought that civil officials would only fight with real swords and guns in the main hall, but who would have thought that they would do this?
This method is not as good as those of Jinyiwei and Dongchang!
Su Baiyi had the urge to take out 13,500 catties of golden hoop sticks, and then harvest all the civil officials with one stick.
"Bang!"
Another shell landed on the ship, punching a large hole in the side of the large ship.
"Let's go!"
Take a hard breath and run away!
War is impossible, this merchant ship does not have the slightest combat effectiveness at all, and it is not possible to surrender, and they have fundamentally solved the problem once and for all.
As long as I Su Baiyi dies, all problems will no longer be problems!
Amazing, really clever!
I don't know if this is Wen Zhenmeng's handiwork, or Wen Tiren's strategy, or the meaning of the entire civil official group.
Now is not the time to think about this, whether it is revenge or finding out the truth, you have to save your life first.
The top of the hull can't stay still, so you can only run down.
There were bursts of crashing sounds and bursts of wood breaking in his ears, and Su Baiyi was running wildly in the dark corridor, followed by two eunuchs, and then Gu Zhong, the owner of the ship, who kept complaining, with a fat belly, running while crying, and he didn't know that there was a dog behind him.
Gu Zhong cried because he was distressed, and for a thousand taels of silver, he ended up putting the entire big ship on board, and his heart was dripping out.
Suddenly attacked, surrendered and failed, Gu Zhong lost his sense of proportion, and the people below didn't know what to do, but people always seek good fortune and avoid evil, so even the guys fled with Su Baiyi.
"Where's the exit of the subship?" Su Baiyi asked Gu Zhong.
In addition to the cargo and personnel left on the deck, there is also a special exit near the sea at the stern: the sub-ship exit.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and the so-called sub-boat can also be understood as a lifeboat.
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot, there are still sub-boats available!" Gu Zhong was overjoyed.
Su Baiyi sneered: "Zichuan, you put down the sub-boat and try it, and see if the Fu boat behind you will blow you into scum!" ”
"Let's go, we can't delay."
A group of people followed Gu Zhong through the aisle of the boat, and came to the sub-boat position at the stern of the boat in less than a minute.
Su Baiyi looked at the boat, which was about as long as the boat used for playing on the rivers and rivers in later generations, about four or five meters long and less than one meter wide, with a oar tied to each side.
At the back of the sub-boat is a closed door with a water stain in front of it.
Gu Zhong opened the door, and the sea was close at hand, and the height of the bottom of the door was only about two feet.
Su Baiyi looked out through the small door, and only half of the two lucky boats on the left and right could only be seen, and the cannonballs on them were flying, with continuous clicking sounds, and solid bullets fell into the water, instantly stirring up a large number of waves.
The sea was gloomy and dark, and the sky seemed to be bright.
"This brightness is just right, there are only two quarters of time, and you have to stay away from the big ship for two quarters."
Su Baiyi estimated that the sky would definitely be white in two moments, and it would be impossible to sneak away from the sea at that time.
And now, the time is right.
"You wait for me, I'll go and bring the baggage, and I'll take you to escape."
Su Baiyi reflexively returned to the cabin, took the baggage and returned to the bottom floor, during which he opened the system, purchased eight sets of waterproof suits for underwater work, and got eight swimming rings.
There were originally seven more people on the ship, and they had just been busy on the deck for a while, and the two guys who hung the white flag on the mast were thrown directly into the sea, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Therefore, the remaining five people plus Su Baiyi's three people are exactly eight people.
One set of outfits per person.
At the critical moment, no one asked Su Baiyi what things he took out, let alone why he prepared these things. Everyone hurriedly changed into waterproof suits, and then each had a swimming ring.
"It's very cold underwater, we must unite and not disperse, after escaping, it depends on the will of God whether we live or die!" Su Baiyi used a big rope to connect the eight swimming rings together.
"Come with me, you must swim out of their sight before dawn."
Putting the waterproof suit on the outside, Su Baiyi threw the eight swimming rings connected together into the sea, and then took advantage of the night to quietly enter the sea and grabbed the first swimming ring.
"Our family, our family can't swim!" Zhao Heng wanted to die.
"You don't need to, just hold on to the swimming ring!" After Su Baiyi entered the water, although the water did not enter the clothes for the time being, the coldness outside was almost instantaneous, making him feel chills in the whole province.
"Let's, our family ......" Zhao Heng was still hesitating, Gu Zhong plopped into the water and pulled the second swimming ring.
And then the guys also went into the water one after another.
Zhao Heng and He Shan had no choice, so they jumped down.
After Su Baiyi pulled them and gave each of them a swimming ring, he said, "It's too cold in the water, so I'll hold on to it." Two quarters of time must wander away! ”
At that time, the big ship was heading south, and the three lucky boats were surrounded from the east, west, and south, and the place where Su Baiyi's eight people went to sea was exactly the north, and it was indeed a great challenge to swim north against the icy sea.
The sea water is very cold, but fortunately, the entire waterproof suit is wrapped, and there is only a gap in the neck to let in the water, and everyone is wearing thick cotton clothes on the outside of their bodies, so they don't worry about being frozen for a while.
A group of eight people, each holding a swimming ring, paddled with their hands on the dark sea, and swam north little by little.
On the dark sea, shells continued to land.
Su Baiyi was secretly glad that no cannonballs fell on his head, and when he looked back after swimming a few hundred meters, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, but fortunately he opened the pig's foot halo, otherwise he was afraid that a stone egg would burp when it fell on his head.
The shells in the distance continued to fall, and the three lucky ships slowly approached the merchant ships, and when the distance was close enough, Su Baiyi really saw that one rocket after another was fired.
In addition to the six Franco-cannon cannons, the ship was also equipped with a small catapult, and when the merchant ship caught fire, a can of tung oil was thrown onto the ship, and the fire became bigger and bigger, and the entire sea area was lit red.
"Let's go, continue to travel north......" Su Baiyi's face was pale, gritted his teeth and trembled, and led everyone to continue to swim north. Half an hour later, the dawn came, and the fireworks on the sea were still burning violently, and at the same time, they were slowly moving south under the blowing of the north wind, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
The three lucky boats probably thought that they had completed the perfect murder and arson, so they also followed the burning ship with the north wind, but they didn't notice that Su Baiyi and the eight people left quietly.
"My ship!" Gu Zhong wanted to cry without tears.
"It's cold, it's freezing to death in our house!" Zhao Heng shuddered and said to Su Baiyi: "Master Su, you have a way, otherwise after a while, our family will not ...... Not...... You can't freeze to death, ha, ha......"
"Is Your Majesty's decree still there?" Su Baiyi asked.
"Here, the slave and maid just lost their lives, and they didn't dare to throw away the emperor's holy decree." Zhao Heng patted his stomach: "The matter is urgent, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive the slave and maid for the crime of disrespect." ”
Su Baiyi glanced at his stomach, and sure enough, when he saw that there was a lot of money, he said with some worry: "It's okay to put it on your stomach, don't be incontinent at a critical time for your old man, in case the holy decree is dirty, it should really lose your head." ”
"My Lord Su, don't worry, our family has disposed of it well, and it can't defile the holy decree."
Gu Zhong was still calling his boat just now, hoping to get some compensation from Su Baiyi, but when he heard the conversation between Su Baiyi and the eunuch Zhao Heng, he was so frightened that he quickly shut up and didn't dare to say a word.
"Where is this?" Su Baiyi looked at Gu Zhong, and then at the endless sea: "Boss Gu has been walking on this line all year round, he should know where this is, right?" ”
"I don't know the vast sea!" Gu Zhong frowned bitterly, and said: "However, we set sail from Tianjin Wei yesterday, and according to the distance, it should still be in the Bohai Sea, and the villain estimates that this should be the sea area north of Denglai." ”
