Chapter 216: Waterway Yun Mengze
Since it is a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, it is inevitable to take the waterway!
Although there are basically no landlubbers, they are all northern men in the end, where do you sit on the boat! As long as you go up, after a long time, you will be dizzy and vomiting, and your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!
In order to avoid the weakening of combat effectiveness, Bailiyun and his party have been trying to avoid taking the waterway, stop-and-go, but when they passed by Jiangling, they still had to go to the waterway, without him, at this time, it is different from modern times, and the waters in the south of the Yangtze River are still connected together, called Yunmengze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yunmengze, a rare wonder of inland waters, unfortunately, due to various reasons, it gradually began to degrade from the Qin and Han dynasties, until the Qing Dynasty formed the Honghu Lake and other waters distributed around, which appeared scattered and broke the relationship.
However, at this time in the early Tang Dynasty, although the degradation was obvious, the silt was all over the place during the freshwater season, and because of this, the water bandits began to be continuously given a perfect habitat and shelter, and the imperial court could not find it at all.
However, if they want to go to the south of the Yangtze River, they still have to set foot on this water area at this time, without him, the detour is too far, and Bailiyun has to hurry up, with their men and horses, according to the general terrain they have seen before, it is nonsense at all, and they can't row.
Fortunately, the fleet commanded by Liu San has been following and advancing in the nearby waters, and they can go on the road with a greeting.
Bailiyun arranged for the eight large ships that he had just made recently, which were not entirely self-made, because he simply didn't have time to do them.
took advantage of his position to buy some new former Sui official ships, refurbish them, and then reassemble the important parts with steel like patches.
The power unit is a simple lever-type pusher with reference to the knowledge of the mechanism and the previous life, and it can easily and quickly row twenty oars by manpower, and only five people can easily do it. With such a large ship, there is no problem at all for ten people to rotate, and it can also be operated by twenty people at critical times, which is more relaxed. As for the propellers, they can only be stranded for the time being.
Finally, the mast was modified in imitation of the shape of the Ming Dynasty ship with more epochal significance, and the cannon hole was opened. Each ship was equipped with an extended steel pipe cannon and flamethrower in the bow.
It's a pity that the time is too tight, and there are still some problems with the temporary production, otherwise according to his original intention, he wanted to install a dozen cannons on both sides like a pirate ship, in this era, except for irresistible natural factors, it can be said that he is completely the hegemon of the sea.
Tell all the soldiers with bitter faces to get on the boat and make a simple settlement.
Bailiyun also transformed the carriage into a boat, and followed it leisurely. Originally, he didn't have this leisure, but he couldn't bear the pleading of Yu Shinan, who came up elegantly. He had a great temperament, and he had to enjoy the fun of fishing, saying that he had not taken a fishing rod for a long time, and his hands were itchy.
What can Bailiyun say, people are dragging their old bodies all the way to suffer and suffer with you, and you are not satisfied with this requirement? Coupled with Qin Qiong's instigation, he had no choice but to respond.
The operator hitchhiked as a boat, and accompanied Yu Shinan and Qin Qiong with Tiejia Qi. I bought a few fishing rods from a nearby fisherman, got on the edge of the boat and waited for the fish to catch the bait.
I have to say. Yu Lao's skills are still good, and in a short period of time, he caught four or five mandarin fish. Qin Qiong just watched it happily, she was busy for a long time and didn't catch anything, so she was in a hurry.
It's ironclad seven, and it's troublesome. Directly took off half of the light, jumped into the water with a snort, and after a while, he turned over, holding a large herring in his hand, which was more than half a person's size. I don't know how this kid caught it.
Yu Lao scolded with a smile: "What a fool, this fishing is all about fun, what you want is to be calm and wait for the opportunity." What fun is there like you, really! ”
Tie Jiaqi scratched his head embarrassedly, and put the big herring on the board: "I don't understand what kind of fun is there, I just know that this fish is caught for food, in this case, what is the difference between catching and catching, I would rather be faster!" ”
Qin Qiong laughed: "Yes, yes, that's right, what you kid said is very right, this fish is caught for eating, who cares how he got it, fun, that's something that literati play, we don't understand, it's better to satisfy the appetite!" ”
Old Yu glared at him angrily. "Then you are sarcastic about me pretending to be Sven, and you don't look at it, which one hasn't even seen a fish shadow for half a day, really, Shubao, you are embarrassed to sarcastically mock me, if you have this kung fu, it is better to think more about how to improve the success rate, at first glance, you are too impetuous, the boss is not small, why can't you calm down?"
Qin Qiong was suddenly choked by Yu Shinan's words and had nothing to say, smiled, picked up the fishing rod again, and said to herself: "Hey, it's a pity that I'm old, my body and bones don't obey the call, otherwise, with my skills, I will have a big meal in my hands, where can I wait patiently!" ”
Yu Lao heard the implication, that is, fishing was purely because the old man couldn't move, and when his face sank, he wanted to reprimand him.
Seeing this, Bailiyun hurriedly waved his hand to stop their fart, and shouted: "Come, Lao Tie, you bring this, go down with a flashlight, and catch a few more for me, let's eat this river fresh at noon, I will cook it myself and make you a whole fish feast, hahaha!" As he spoke, he handed him the goggles and a flashlight.
Lao Tie has seen these two things, and even the diving goggles are uniformly equipped, so he will make it a long time ago, grinning, taking it and bringing it, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll definitely get a big one up, young master, you can make more, I'm afraid I won't have enough for me to eat!" ”
"Go down quickly, you know how to eat all day long!" Bailiyun pouted helplessly.
Lao Tie didn't care, turned on the flashlight, tried it, jumped over, splashed, and went into the water again.
Bailiyun looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him idlely, and couldn't help but sigh for it, no wonder so many literati and scholars wrote poems for the inscription of this cloud Mengze, endless, clear water and blue sky, although it is said to be a lake, but it is as vast as the sea, wide and boundless, which makes people sigh!
Riding in the middle of the boat, as if in a dream, chic and unrestrained, free and boundless, as if fluttering like a fairy, the breeze blows, almost thought that he was going to ascend to become a god!
Think about the last Dongting Lake that I saw when I didn't cross it, hey, the gap between the two is so big that it's a pity, it's just incomparable!
With this opportunity, it's not good to enjoy a different scenery, how can you be worthy of crossing it yourself! Thinking of this, Bailiyun simply took off his shoes and swung barefoot in the water, leaned back, and lay on the boat, intending to take a break and enjoy the rare tranquility on the way!
