Chapter 159: The Wizard of Yamamoto
Releasing the carrier pigeon, Yang Xi silently pondered what kind of event this was.
Judging from the location of the incident that was returned, it should be between Yanzhou occupied by Cao Cao and Qingzhou occupied by Yuan Shao.
There are many remnants of yellow turbans here, but almost all of them have been wiped out by the two.
In this way, the problem came out, and Yang Xi couldn't figure it out, could it be Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, who found out their purpose of rescuing the victims, and finally stopped it?
But there should be a written notice or something.
Just thinking like this, Yang Xi will never get an answer, so he can only go through it himself, and he has to be prepared for this experience.
In April 197, Yang Xi led three giant ships of the Yangtze River, as well as 30 Chen River boats, with a total of 5,000 guards, to the north.
This time he went north, Yang Xi took 50 cadets from the Military Academy to form an internship group and go north to experience training together.
There are 800 cadets in this year's military academy, and the rest of the cadets are sent to various regiments for internships to increase practical experience.
Yang Xi deliberately took Lu Xun and You Tu with him, wanting to observe their performance.
From beginning to end, these two people are full of mutual disobedience and competition, which is better and grows faster.
Xudu, in a restaurant, the cup is changed in the Tianzi private room, which is not lively.
Zhou Wei made an appointment with six people, basically the children of local wealthy families or people in the court, including Chen Qiong.
Zhou Wei seemed to be a little drunk, and kept toasting with others, showing his arrogance, which made all the scholars look at each other differently.
"Brother Chen Qiong, drink another bottle of wine in the next one, do it first as a respect, I wish you more and more prosperous business, and put the Xudu salt industry into the hub!" After that, Zhou Wei drank it all.
Chen Qiong saw that Zhou Wei drank it all, and naturally he couldn't really be casual, so he also drank it, and everyone applauded in unison.
Zhou Wei said through the wine: "Everyone, it's not that I drank too much, I will reveal a message to you on the sake of your friendship with me." This news is estimated to have the opportunity to make people soar immediately, even if it is not uncommon to earn 100 gold a day. ”
As soon as Zhou Wei's wine was on his head, he said everything, which made everyone laugh and feel that this person was frank, and someone asked tentatively: "Brother Zhou, I'm afraid I drank too much, one news can make a hundred catties a day, even General Cao, I'm afraid, I'm willing to come to listen to your news." ”
Zhou Wei was not angry, but mysteriously raised his middle finger and said: "I really don't want to speak, just yesterday, I received the news of Dong Maru in Donglai Port, the president of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce ordered Dong Maru of Donglai Port to bring a letter to the vice president unit in the north, if anyone can find out the person behind the wreck of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce last month or an important clue, he will send a Chenhe boat." Do you know what the concept of the Chenhe boat is? General Cao, General Yuan, and Na Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and others didn't want to get one, so as to copy its technology, because the speed of the ship was too fast, there was no way to start, and he never wanted to be burned by the thieves. ”
Everyone present gasped, if you get a ship, it is equivalent to getting its technology, and the people present, who don't have the bottom, build their own dock, make it and sell it, it is simply a thing that can break the sky.
Chen Qiong gave Zhou Wei a look, he had the best relationship with Zhou Wei, he had never heard of this before, if he had heard about it, he would have covered it and not let people know, and he would have gone to get the news himself.
You must know that his brother Chen Qun has a bit of energy.
Zhou Wei pretended to be on top and continued to speak.
"I heard that this accident location is between the territory of General Yuan and General Cao, it is said that it was done by thieves, but according to my guess, there are no thieves in that place for a long time, so there must be someone else, I don't know which party or its generals have personal grudges with the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, if you brothers have clues, you can share them with me, then the benefits will be shared together, we can even partner to open a dock, there are many people, we are strong, we are united, who can move me and wait."
After that, Zhou Wei drank another bottle by himself.
Chen Qiong had no choice, but she secretly thought in her heart, go back and hurry up to see her cousin, she must find some clues.
Several other people were also active in their hearts, secretly thinking about how to mobilize some of the connections around General Cao, and inquiring about any special people and things recently.
Zhou Wei seemed to be confused and said: "If you have any news, you have to inform me as soon as possible, to be honest, there are many vice president units of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce in the north now, as far as I know, there are three of them, in addition to me, there are three, not counting other places." There seem to be more Qingzhou and Jizhou, and the news is fast, and I don't know how many people are acting at the moment. ”
But he said that Yang Xi's release of this news was not without a target, he really felt that he could pass on this technology to his own member units.
At that time, if anyone gets this technology, of course, they must join the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, Yang Xi was on a journey, but what he was wondering about was another question.
It has been two years since my body's function reached the value of 95, so why I can't go any further, it is because my body has congenital limitations.
In the past two years, every once in a while, I sometimes feel that I have to break through, but every time the blood flow accelerates, and my whole body is hot, but there is always a layer of shackles that cannot be broken, that is, I can't make any progress.
This has been the case three times in the past month on the ship, and each time the interval has become shorter and shorter, and the most recent one, only eight days apart, has had this reaction.
He didn't know how to break the shackles.
"I just don't want to think about it, when I make progress, I will naturally improve, it's useless to think too much, just keep training."
Thinking of this, Yang Xi started physical exercise again, finger push-ups.
A few days later, when he arrived at Donglai Port, Yang Xi immediately met with the survivors of the Chen River boat.
Of the four boats, no trace has been found so far, the other three have almost all been killed, and only six survivors have escaped by jumping from ship and diving after the fire.
According to them, there were at least thirty-four divers, but only a few of them survived.
One of them had a back burn that was the size of a bowl, and Yang Xizhen didn't know how he survived.
This is a ship guard, who has served for three years, and is considered a veteran, Yang Xi scanned it, this person's physical function, 86, and several other people are also veterans, and their physical function is also 81 to 83
It can be seen that only the strong can survive.
"Introduce yourself." Yang Xi commanded.
"Tell the president, my name is Huading, a native of Chaisang, I enlisted in the army early, I followed the battalion commander of Leizi earlier, and later transferred to Chenhe No. 257 as the captain of the ship."
The others also introduced themselves one by one, these people are all from their own territory, and two of them are refugees, Yang Xi let people record them one by one, and they must give a few people a good position.
"The five of you, each lead a Chenhe boat, you will be the captain of the ship in the future, work hard, I will pay attention to your progress, as for Huading, I have other arrangements, you are still young, there is a possibility of entering, this time you are doing a good job, saving your life is the first."
"Now tell me what you saw and heard at the time."
Yang Xi asked a few people at this time, and several people took turns to answer.
Yang Xi summed it up, it was as if there were people among the refugees who brought some special items, and after they got on the boat, this kind of thing exploded, and after the boat was in chaos, someone started firing rockets on the shore, and then the boat began to burn.
"Let me see your wounds." Yang Xi was curious, what is the concept of the explosion of flammable materials.
Hua Ding walked over and took off his shirt to show Yang Xi.
Seeing this wound, Yang Xi was taken aback.
This wound is big at the mouth of the bowl, but there is no scar around it.
"Tell me how you felt."
Hua Ding said: "At that time, I felt that something suddenly fell to the north, and with a bang, a piece of it was burned in the north, I quickly jumped into the water, and then dived into the water and went downstream, and secretly took a few breaths on the way, and barely escaped from the pursuit of the group." ”
After listening to the descriptions of these people and looking at the way the wound burned, Yang Xi finally concluded that the thing that burned the ship was gunpowder.
"Kazuo Yamamoto! Are you here again? Yang Xi's eyes showed a fierce light.
