Seeing that Feng Xiaobao had finished speaking, Le Cheng stepped forward and said, "Captain Feng, have you finished speaking?" ”

"Yes!" Feng Xiaobao arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your attention!" Well, how did Le Inspector (Imperial History) come about? Waiting for us here? ”

"I came by boat from Laizhou, and Yu Shitai took me to Laizhou on an errand, and I was talking about you, so I took a boat from Laizhou to Andong to wait for you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Le Cheng told where he came from.

I see, I thought your brother was so active in running errands, chasing and killing labor and capital with 800 miles of expedited post stations and horses? We have the strength to nurse to get here, and you are waiting for us with your usual face.

Feng Xiaobao expressed his admiration for his courage to cross the Bohai Sea and come by boat, and the officials of Datang really worked hard.

The sea is unpredictable, dare to hand over your fate to a ship made of planks, have the guts!

Seeing more than 20 people accompanying Feng Xiaobao, carrying knives and bows, his eyes were fierce, Le Cheng frowned slightly, and then stretched out and didn't say anything.

"Do you take a boat to go back?" Feng Xiaobao asked him.

Unexpectedly, Lecheng replied: "Listen to the respect!" The boat I'm here is not a return boat, you can find another one! ”

Feng Xiaobao secretly praised him for being smart, he purely looked like he was not embarrassed by Feng Xiaobao, Feng Xiaobao was not embarrassed to find trouble, everyone was good to him, as long as he returned to Luoyang safely, he would have completed his task.

"Guo Xingsan, you find me a boat!"

"Okay!"

"Bring three horses and give them to the Inspector!" Feng Xiaobao instructed, soon someone brought three lean horses over, although they were a little thinner, but their spirits were not bad, one river west horse and two Mongolian horses, and the cavalry was also standard.

Le Cheng was not affectionate, touched Hexi Ma and said: "Borrow me first, and then return to Luoyang and then pay you back!" ”

"It doesn't matter if it's not!" Feng Xiaobao said.

"Must pay it back!" Le Cheng said seriously: "Your horse is so good, I can't afford to raise it!" ”

It is also said that it is a big burden for a good horse to use concentrate feed, but it should be able to afford one.

Let's go to Andong's dock area together, Andong was a small place (that period), but the dock area is super prosperous, there are no thousands of sails and a hundred sails towering, ships come and go, soldiers and merchants come and go, goods are piled up in the dock area, this belongs to the Tang Army's attack on Goguryeo A starting point, because of the advantage of shipping, it developed.

Guo Xingsan wanted to negotiate with the boatman, and Feng Xiaobao took a closer look at the Tang boats: they were all square heads, flat bottoms, and hard sails.

During this period, Datang's shipbuilding technology was first-class, with advanced technology, scientific structure, huge shape and strong stability.

It has watertight cabins, everyone knows its benefits, one cabin is flooded, and the rest is not flooded, and the boat can be saved; The tenon (the protruding part of the two parts of the utensils using the concave and convex joint method) is nailed and jointed with putty twisting technology, so that the wood is extended, and a large ship can be built, and then there is a wave plate on the side of the ship, which can prevent tilting and block wind and waves.

The Tang ships were tall and a little foreign-like, small and pitiful enough, which made the pride of the Tang people as the people of the Heaven/Dynasty spontaneously arise.

Guo Shengsanji is very powerful, and soon found a Denglai ship boss surnamed Xia, who looked very honest, and also served as a soldier, talked with Guo Shengsheng Sanji, and was introduced to Feng Xiaobao.

Facing the general, Boss Xia was not stage frightened, and gave Feng Xiaobao a salute in a proper manner, introducing himself that his ship was for the army to transport grain, and on the way back, he was going to take some of the big wood produced here back, and he had already collected some, and then gave Guo Shengsan a lot of money to charter the entire boat, so he came to listen to Feng Xiaobao's dispatch.

Feng Xiaobao knew that Guo Sheng's three poles were proper, so he didn't ask much and asked Boss Xia when he could leave?

"Immediately, the wind is just right!" Boss Xia has been a military master, and he knows the temper of the military master, so he will leave as soon as he says.

"Okay! Let's go! ”

……

Xia Laoda's ship is really big, it can carry 7,000 stones, it is spectacular, it belongs to a large sea ship, there are eight watertight cabins alone, and there is a cabin for Feng Xiaobao to put the horses, and all the seventy horses are driven into the cabin, and it is not a problem to settle the people to live.

Boss Xia is very experienced, and immediately bought a large number of beans when he got the deposit, and he asked Feng Xiaobao to send someone to stay in the horse cabin, light the lamp, let the horses see people, and have time to comb the horses and talk to them.

Of course, the horse doesn't know how to speak, but he also knows the tone of his master, and he is an acquaintance.

The key to feeding them beans is to eat less and feed more, they have good food and drink, and they are accompanied by acquaintances, so they are not afraid of the dark, nor are they afraid of swaying on the boat and enclosed small spaces, so they don't have to worry about making trouble and being unhappy.

Feng Xiaobao wrote them down one by one with his accompanying staff officers, and the horses came in handy when crossing the river and sea in the future.

"Threesome, there must be my teacher, thank you!" Feng Xiaobao's shelf is not big, Boss Xia taught him things, especially the baby horse, Xie Zi must say it.

"No thanks! Yours are good horses! I was a soldier, and the general's horses were just like that, and I know how people love horses. Boss Xia said heartily.

"You're not a small boat!" Feng Xiaobao walked on the deck and praised.

"The bigger the ship, the more economical! Each one has to raise a group of sailors, and the positions are repetitive. Seeing Feng Xiaobao's easy talk, Boss Xia also talked with him, and he had a deputy to direct the sailors to set sail and leave the port.

The bigger the ship, the more economical, but it must have social and economic support and enough business to make the big ship work. "So what's the business?" Feng Xiaobao asked.

"Not bad!"

Boss Xia's face was mixed, saying that the Goguryeo people were peaceful and rebellious, and they were unfamiliar wolf cubs, and the imperial court continued to use soldiers to make his business good, and he even took a boatload of soldiers across the sea a while ago.

"My business is good, but there are many deaths in the army!"

"My grandfather participated in the war against Goguryeo in the previous dynasty (Sui dynasty) and died in Liaodong! A lot of people died, seventeen people went to my village, and two people came back! I also participated in Emperor Taejong's use of troops against Goguryeo, and I was lucky to survive, and my son will now participate in the naval army against Goguryeo! ”

It turns out that three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are engaged in the great cause of fighting Goguryeo! "Disrespectful!" Feng Xiaobao arched his hand.

"Don't dare to be!" Boss Xia returned the favor.

"If it weren't for my son, I wouldn't want to come here where my Aye died in battle!"

"Uh-huh! So what do you think should be done against Goguryeo? Feng Xiaobao couldn't help laughing after asking, and the superintendent Yu Shi Lecheng who was listening next to him was also laughing: A veteran in the past, now a boat owner, asked him how to deal with Goguryeo, wouldn't he ask Yu Blind!

"One word, it's a hit!"

"Beat until they submit, until they dare not betray!" Boss Xia said with a wave of his fist.

"And what if they are still betrayed?" Lecheng couldn't help but interject.

"Then kill, kill them all, there will be no betrayal!" Boss Xia blurted out.

As soon as the words came out, the ship fell silent.

After a while, Feng Xiaobao said faintly: "This is the voice of the people!" Do the princes in the court know about it? ”

……

The ship moves quickly, and the sails of the big ship are full of wind, as if flying on the sea!

The sea route is the most convenient passage between Liaodong and the Central Plains, from Andong to Laizhou, the straight-line distance is 700 miles, sailing downwind, and it will arrive in three days. (Feng Xiaobao's horse team marched at a speed of seven days) (To be continued.) )
