Chapter 352: The Tomb Robber
If you don't get on the boat, you don't know how weak the old Qin people are, except for the specially allocated warships of Yingquliang, there are still some trained sailors, and more than half of the two big wings supported by the front and rear are landlubbers. The fleet merged into Weishui, and before they reached the Yin and Jin Dynasty, these people had already vomited, and the higher the martial arts, the more fierce the vomit; Mulberry and fleas are even more masters, one mouth can spew out more than a zhang away, there are more yellow and white things on the water surface, and the air is thick gastric acid.
It's no wonder that the only time Lao Qin used a large number of boats in history was the 'rafting battle' to help the Jin Kingdom, but those were all civilian boats loaded with grain. Don't talk about Lao Qin, even a strong country like Wei also uses its national strength for the construction of Wei Wushu, when did I hear that Pang Juan was going to be the governor of the navy?
After the Wu and Yue struggles for hegemony, even coastal countries such as Qi and Yue have almost stopped the construction of naval divisions; The struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains always depends on the land army, and there are a few fleets for the monarch to go to the sea to see the sunrise and fantasize about the legendary sacred mountain, who will spend a lot of effort to make a sailor? There is a shortage of talent on the water
Bai Dong felt that he was thinking too simply, even if the Yue Numen and Guiwei Doctor began to select the water army after receiving their letters, with the current national strength of the Yue country, it will take a while to become successful, the key is the lack of generals on the water; Liang Shanbo's Song Gongming still has the Ruan family brothers and Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, who are the dragons in the water, what do they have? The white-haired son and the old man are very serious and persistent, but his water skills are still a little insufficient, and he will have to transport Japanese 'monkeys' by sea for a long time in the future. You can't do it without a reliable person.
Search for dry memories of historical figures. But if you think about it, you can't think of any great talents in this era. Bai Dong was really a little distressed. Even if they had the method of measuring latitude and longitude, and had their own charts and designed ships, it was not enough, and the old man had the deliriousness of Columbus, but he did not have the crazy sailors of Spain, so could he only let the sea train them?
"Husband, I've figured it out!"
The flea jumped in front of Bai Dong, and his slightly red face was full of pride.
She got used to it when she vomited and vomited, and these days she gradually became familiar with the bumps on the water, and she has evolved from a dozen vomits a day to one vomit a day; It's a good day to get used to vomiting, and she finally has time to learn the meridian dimensional measurement method proposed by her husband. Just now, she pouted her ass and measured the shadow of the wooden ruler, combined with the time scale given by the mercury, and calculated it for a long time according to the calculation formula. Hmph, so that Sister Kujiu and Sister Yingshu can see clearly, my flea is no worse than others when I am serious!
The first to learn to measure the latitude and longitude is bitter wine, and when bidding farewell to everyone, bitter wine has not been displayed in front of fleas and Yingshu. Will Ying Shu be afraid of this? Although his temperament is a little more straightforward and free. There are also some bad little hobbies, but he is also from an aristocratic background. Back then, she had received Zhou-style prenatal education in Li Jiang's belly, and after holding it for a long time, she also mastered this measurement method that later generations of junior high school students could quickly master.
But God is fair, it's different when it comes to Sang Wazi and Flea, the two big masters can't find the north at all in the face of such a 'complicated' arithmetic problem, and they still can't find the north in the face of such a 'complicated' arithmetic problem, and they still can't do it after asking for advice a few times, Sang Wazi gave up in anger, Lao Tzu is either in Baijiazhuang or in the academy, at most he walks around with Ping An Lang, what do you do to learn this useless thing? Fleas are angry, pouting and squatting there these days to calculate, Bai Dong always feels that her ass is bigger, like a ripe peach
Listening to the flea excitedly report a string of numbers, Bai Dong sighed slightly, still wrong. It's just that I couldn't bear to hit her, so I had to nod and smile: "My fleas are really smart, right!" ”
"Really?" The fleas cheered, and they were about to take advantage of the opportunity to jump into the arms of their husbands, when they heard a loud 'bang' in front of them, and heard someone on the boat shouting: "Not good! I'm afraid that the big wings in front of me have hit the underwater reef! ”
Underwater reefs? This is just Weishui, not the sea, the ship is driving in the center of the waterway, where does the reef come from? Bai Dong hugged the flea's slender waist and said, "Let's go and see." ”
This section of the river is just between Mianchi and Wusui, this month is still the territory of Wei, and next month it may return to South Korea, which is a typical three-regardless area, and the waterway is quite narrow, Bai Dong and Yingshu are located in the Huang can only drive in the center of the river, and the slightest deviation may be stranded. At this moment, the big wing that opened the way for the river has stopped in the center of the river and looked at it, only to see a faint iron cable in front of the big wing, and countless camouflage aquatic plants are also wrapped around the cable, and it happens that this section of the river has water mist again, if it is not for the hull of the ship hitting the iron cable, I am afraid that it will not be found.
"There are water pirates here?"
Bai Dong secretly screamed strangely, Wei State did not pay attention to the construction of the water division, and now it is even more in the Zhao State, it is not a strange thing that there are water thieves here, and there are many mountain bandits and water thieves in this era, and the Bai family trading company does not know how many battles they have fought with these guys, but the ship he and Ying Shu are riding in is the 'Jun Zhou' of Yingquliang, and there are two big wings that can carry two hundred soldiers in front and back to protect it, and the water pirates actually dare to start, could it be that they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall?
Without waiting for them to act, they heard the sound of knocking on the bamboo cards, only to see more than a dozen small boats swinging out of the reeds on both sides, the boats are not big, there are more than 20 people on each boat, one by one in rags, holding a broken head, a broken sword, a rectangular bamboo brand The bamboo card looks like a shield, it is a little nondescript, these bandits are knocking on the bamboo card, while singing loudly, "The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, there is a big wing, on the water side; Tracing back from it, the road is blocked and long, the long distance is long, why not stop, the gold beads and beautiful jade, I want to take it, the beautiful woman on the boat, and let go of the battle'
Damn, it's a water bandit!
Bai Dong understood that these bandits still followed the path of the Book of Poetry, but changed some words. It means that we have a crush on your ship. Put down your weapons, surrender your guns, don't kill them, and take out all the good things! Robbery also sings. This is actually a thief, and he is also a daring thief, who dares to come and grab a three-story building ship after driving a dozen small boats, which is also too arrogant!
"Bai Zuogen, we have encountered water bandits, and looking at each other's methods, it should be the 'Gongzi Shun' between Weiji and Weiji"
Responsible for the safety of Yingqu Liang is Liang Xiao, the chief guard officer of Yingqu Liang, since Yingqu Liang became Qin Jun. Li Di, like Fan Qiang, became the deputy master of the Qin Palace, and the master worshiped the general figure; This Liang Xiao was born in Jiangmen, although he is not a nobleman, but he has walked the rivers and lakes, and he is also somewhat famous among the heroes of the world, and he is also familiar with some water warfare methods, so he was sent by Yingqu Liang to protect the princess this time.
"Childe Shun?"
Bai Dong was stunned: "This water bandit leader is still a nobleman?" "Since the Yin Shang dynasty, a few families have risen and a few have declined, and I don't know how many ruined nobles there are, but no matter how ruined they are. No nobleman would be willing to be a bandit, this is a matter of sorry ancestors. ”
"Huh. Others are called Childe, which means respect, but this person is called Childe, but it is a great irony. After this prince Shun claimed to be a nobleman of the Yin Shang Dynasty, he also said that his ancestor was the elder brother of the Shang king, so he went to dig up the tombs of the Shang Dynasty royal family."
"Why, he also robbed the tomb?"
Bai Dong looked around, only to see that on a slightly larger thief ship, there was a middle-aged bandit standing in the wind, this person did not look like a water bandit, with a rotten crown on his head, although the clothes he was wearing were a little old, but he could faintly see the embroidered animal patterns, and he was really a poor man who refused to fall down.
He didn't think he was a tomb robber, he said that he wanted to take the property left by his ancestors and restore the country for the Shang Dynasty. The country is naturally unable to recover, but he is wanted by all countries because of the evil behavior of tomb robbery, and he can't do it on land, because those bandits on land can't tolerate him, so he ran to the water to be a water bandit It is said that this person has a one-handed breath-holding method, and when robbing the tomb, he can sneak underground for half an hour without breathing, and it is just as durable when he goes underwater. So he became the overlord of Weishui, there were no decent sailors in various countries, even if a few warships were sent to chase him, most of his subordinates were half-fishermen and half-bandits, and they became fishermen when they jumped off the thief boats, and no one could do anything about them. ”
"Hehe, this 'Gongzi Shun' is a bit interesting, Lord Liang, let his subordinates shout and let him come to meet me."
"Bai Zuo wants to meet with this bandit leader? He's here to rob us! ”
"We have at least 500 elite soldiers on these three ships, and they are well-armoured and strong, and Gongzi Shun will not use the idea of robbery unless he is stupid."
Bai Dong smiled and shook his head: "Chief Officer Liang, you just send someone to call out, just say that Ben Zuo wants to invite him to drink, but he is only allowed to come alone, if you don't dare, forget it." ”
"Baizi, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to invite a tomb robber to drink with your current status?"
Hearing that Bai Dong was going to invite this audacious water bandit and tomb robber to drink, Liang Xiao and Flea only frowned slightly; They have all been in the Jianghu rangers before, although they felt that it was inappropriate, they didn't say anything, but the public loser standing next to Bai Dong couldn't help but stop him, and now the public loser and the Bai family share weal and woe, he doesn't want Bai Dong to lose his reputation because of this person.
"Hehe, Mr. Gongyi, don't worry, it's not a tomb robber who I'm asking for a drink, but a hero after the Yin Shang aristocracy and between Wei Ji. Besides, when have I ever worried about reputation? In this world, reputation has always been earned by strength, if you see someone who is afraid of bad reputation, then what's the point of living? ”
Bai Dong laughed, and suddenly shouted: "Gongzi Shun, I'm afraid that your iron rope is specially built?" Such a thick iron cable is worth a lot of money, aren't you afraid of losing all your money? ”
"If you can drink with Baizi, what if Gongzi Shun loses all his capital? Baizi, Childe Shun also! ”
