Chapter 477: Landing in Japan
The sky is blue, and the sea water is blue, and the sea fish under the surface of the water are clearly recognizable; Seeing a faint touch of black appear on the horizon in the east, Bai Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It would have been wise to choose the late autumn time for sailing, the hurricanes that are common in summer have long since disappeared, the temperature difference between north and south is not too great, and the cold winds blowing from the Bering Strait are not enough to cause the engulfment of the entire fleet' Kamikaze', coupled with the barrier of the Japanese islands, this part of the sea journey is quite calm, and the few small wheals encountered on the road do not matter, it is not enough to threaten a building ship of this scale, at most, it makes a person like Ou Yeliang, who has never been to the sea in his life, vomit and diarrhea and make his little face pale, and it has no great impact on him, a person who has loved extreme sports in later generations.
Flea stood behind Bai Dong, his face slightly pale; She really couldn't figure out why her husband, who was powerless, could withstand the wind and waves at sea better than her? And it was the first time I came to this place called Japan Island, but I was like a sailor who had been accumulating years, and finally I simply ran to the helmsman to command. The chart of the voyage was not provided by the son and the old man, but it seemed to be drawn by his own hands, and even those old sailors praised him for his good guidance, and they didn't know whether it was really good or he was patting his ass. Flea used to be a very proud swordsman, but the longer she followed Bai Dong, the more she realized that it was not the sword in her hand that she was really proud of, but this 'magical' husband, this weak but wise man could always bring her surprises one by one, just like a thick storybook that would never be read
Bai Dong stood beside the helmsman, and his mood was also extremely excited. I was a fan of Age of Discovery and Assassin 4, but I don't know how many times I played the role of navigator and pirate in the game. Now the rudder, which can be called a 'cultural relic', is in front of you. Seeing this thing is like seeing your first love. If it weren't for the fear of capsizing the boat, I would have snatched it up a long time ago, and I would have touched it affectionately, so I had to be reserved! You are now the Son of Heaven's own uncle! It's the giant of Wenzong! It's a 'national idol'! Don't mess around!
Fortunately, later generations are also a top liberal arts student, and they are still very good at geography, and it is not very difficult to find a destination in combination with nautical charts. As early as when agreeing with the son and the old man on the landing site of the Japanese island, Bai Dong locked his eyes on the future 'Kanda Port', at this time Japan did not have a port in the real sense, since it was to be developed, it would be better to simply develop the most cost-effective.
The Port of Kanada was later called a natural harbor area that connected the Sea of Japan and the Seto Inland Sea. The status near the Sea of Japan is equivalent to the Strait of Gibraltar, which connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea; There is no money for the opening of the Suez Canal, and the status of the Strait of Gibraltar is important, and those who have studied geography in junior high school should know. Moreover, this port is not only convenient for development, but also close to the Iwami silver production area, which is known as 'Iwami Mita'! How much silver will be produced here? According to some historians, from the late Warring States period to the Edo period, Iwami silver accounted for one-third of the world's silver production! The amount of silver produced by a single Iwami silver vein is ten times and a hundred times the amount of silver produced in Huaxia! Who says Japan is a resource-poor country? It's just that because it was too weak in the early stage, the gold and silver produced were plundered by other countries.
At this time, there are no ant-like ships gathering in the port of Kanda, and there are no annoying whistles and billowing smoke, and as far as the eye can see, there are heavy mountains on both sides of the river, and occasionally waterfalls flow down, and many undefeated green plants in autumn and winter. It really looks like a fairy mountain on the sea; The flea's eyes were the sharpest, and he pointed to a body of water in front of him and said, "What is that?" It's colorful and beautiful. ”
She is pointing to the offshore corals, which in this era have not been harmed by the greenhouse effect to whiten the corals, and there is not even a single white spot on the corals, or red, or green, or blue, or yellow, and the colors reflected by the sun; These corals are actually seven or eight zhang away from the water surface, but the sun is blazing at the moment, the sea water of this era is clear and transparent, standing on the boat and looking, only to see that the water is like a colorful brocade, faintly revealing the water surface, and only stopped an autumn rain for more than ten days before noon, the humidity in the air is the worst in recent years, and suddenly the sea is a hundred zhang high color fog.
There is wind and rain in the action, and the color is carried with you, which is a wonder that the sages will only have when they travel! The superstitious sailors have begun to bow down to the building where Bai Dong is located, some of them have already walked back and forth from the Japanese island several times, but it is the first time they have seen this kind of wonder, and naturally think that this is because Bai Zi's merit and virtue are too great, which is why they have the atmosphere of saints.
"Legend has it that the immortal saint Linfan will have a colorful light and a hundred feet of ruiqi, but unfortunately no one has seen it with their own eyes, why did Bai Zi appear such a holy scene as soon as he came? Could it be that he would be closer to the Immortal Dao than the teacher? ”
The Bai family can only be regarded as a large wharf built in Kantian, far less advanced than the port of later generations, that is, a far bridge road was set up in the position of a water depth, because it is a natural port, the wind from the north to the south and the east and west will be blocked by the three islands of the country, and there is no steam iron ship with a draft in this era, so it does not cost much financial resources to build a wharf that can provide hundreds of ships to dock at the same time to load and unload goods. In the cargo accumulation area of the port, there are also rows of wooden embryo houses, all of which are cut into two by a whole tree as the base material, as long as there is no oil fire, it is both solid and warm in winter and cool in summer.
Ma Qiao is standing side by side with a white-faced bronze armor young man on the first far bridge west of the pier at this moment, this bridge is about five or six zhang away from the sea, and at this moment it is also wrapped in colorful mist, looking from a distance, the line of sight is slightly obstructed, and dozens of sea ships can still be seen slowly heading towards the wharf, and the characters on the boat are shrouded in colorful light and mist, and they look like visitors from the fairy world from a distance.
"Hehe, where is there any immortal saint Linfan, haven't you read the 'Gewuxue' published by the Bai family? There is a truth in the book about the refraction of light, and the more it passes through the water mist and moisture, the more it will diverge and reflect all kinds of wonders, and the rainbow after the rain is the truth. These colored lights are just the dark stones on the bottom of the sea that are reflected by the sun, and it rained a few days ago, and the sea is foggy, so there is a colorful mist as high as 100 zhang, but it is not a white son manifestation. ”
The young general standing beside Ma Qiao was Qin Guan who fought in Wei that day, if he didn't have his assistance, even if the reckless young officer Gongzi could win the battle, he would definitely not be able to fight so beautifully; Qin Guan is a rare Confucian general among the young generals of the Qin State, he loves to study and use his brains when encountering problems, Bai Dong wants to run the Japanese island, and it is not enough to rely on the firm god powder of the son and the old man and Ma Qiao, so he asked Yingquliang to transfer Qin Guan to be the main general of the Japanese island, with Qin Guan suppressing the Japanese island, the Bai family who had invested on the island before could gradually fall back to China.
It is not easy to be the main general in Lao Qin, if you are not born in an aristocratic family, you must be an old minister with a high official and a high lord, Qin Guan even if he has been in Lao Qin all his life, he does not want to become the main general, and he is naturally happy to accept it, the only fly in the ointment is that there is no big battle to fight on this island, he can only take his thousands of soldiers to bully and bully the natives on the island, Qin Guan has nothing to do and Tomaqiao brings back all kinds of books for him, especially loves to read Bai Dong's 'works'.
"You know the 'study of things', where do you know the mystery of the way of immortals? Forget it, don't talk nonsense with you, come to people, play music, and follow the pen to write down in detail the various miracles of Baizi's arrival on the Japanese island, and find someone who can understand the local wild language and Huaxia language in the future, and ask him to compile Baizi's story into a legend and pass it on from generation to generation."
Ma Qiao and the son and the old man are still a little different, the son and the old man are bent on seeking the fairy way, and now they don't know which cave to go to retreat, although he admires Taoism, but he is the same desire for fame as Li Er, seeing Bai Dong passing through the Japanese island, moving the Japanese monkey, and now this Bai Zi is not far away, naturally understands where his mind is, this is a good opportunity to pat Bai Zi's sycophants, and it must not be let go.
Bai Dong is really face-saving, he came here dressed in colorful light, and everywhere he went, Confucius was never as good as Confucius, where did those Japanese monkeys who were under the supervision of Qin Jun still use translators to tell them stories? One by one, they have long looked at the sea and worshipped. Getting off the ship under the escort of the guards, Bai Dong walked a few steps lightly, regained his down-to-earth feeling, looked at Ma Qiao and said with a smile: "Brother Ma Qiao, don't come unharmed, are you okay with the old-timers?" (To be continued......)
