Chapter 162: The Voyage
Chapter 162
Voyage
Two months after the end of the crucial battle in Rinka, Song Yang and his entourage finally passed through the reckless southern wilderness and came to the natural harbor where the giant ship was anchored
Walking through the barren mountains and mountains, there are all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts to be released all the time, even if there are martial arts masters like the great grandmaster and amber and other top figures in medicine and poison, there are still a few people in the team along the way, and now they have finally gotten rid of the damn forest, and everyone is excited to see the sea.
Seeing the big ship again, Song Yang was also a little embarrassed, here and again, I don't know how many things have happened in the world, and he himself doesn't know how many things he has experienced, fortunately...... The people who really care are still there, and there is even a little more crisp.
It's a little regrettable that when Song Yang was still in the team of the sand people, she talked to Xie Zimiao about sailing on the sea, and it could be seen at that time that she was very yearning, but unfortunately she couldn't go with her this time.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud eagle cry overhead, and Song Yang looked up, and in the sky, a huge black eagle was constantly circling, flying lower and lower, landing towards where they were. The distance was still far away, but with Song Yang's eyesight, he had already recognized this black eagle.
There was also a parchment scroll tied to the eagle's feet.
When Amber was wandering in the Southern Wilderness, he sent an eagle master to Song Yang and used the black eagle to establish a communication route for the two sides to contact at any time. The Eagle Lord and the Eagle have remained in the fiefdom, and now they have also withdrawn into the col with the large group. Not long ago, the lackeys of Xie Men sent the battle report of Rinka's victory back to the mountain col, so good news, of course, we had to find a way to inform Song Yang that the eagle was released and returned to the Southern Wilderness......
Song Yang, Yunding, Yunding, Chenghe, Lao Gu... There is no one in the group who has not seen a big scene and experienced a big storm, but when they saw the good news from their families, almost everyone was stunned.
This good news came too shocking.
Different from the general letter sparrow, the black eagle is strong and powerful, with this kind of bird of prey communication, even if you write a book, it can easily take to the destination, it is about the before and after of the battle of Rinka, Xie Men's lackeys are written in great detail, and there is no word about the decisions made by Xie Zimiao and threading the needle and so on, how can you not understand after reading through it, Rinka's decisive battle and victory are simply caused by the porcelain doll who is weak and always so calm......
Lao Gu didn't know which tendon was wrong, after reading the letter, he shook his head vigorously at Song Yang, his mouth was slugging, Song Yang ignored him, he didn't finish it, until Song Yang was furious by him, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Zhaojun deliberately took Song Yang out of two steps, avoiding the young women in the team, and then spoke: "I am a little emotional, Xuanji, Chenghe, Su Hang, plus Xie Zimiao, these four women around you... Have you ever thought about it? ”
Referring to his four beautiful daughters-in-law, Song Yang was quite proud, and asked with interest, "What have you thought about?" ”
"Let me talk slowly, you can hear if this is the case" Gu Zhaojun shook his head and said slowly: "A small work on the edge of the barren mountain back then, who was able to make a splash from Qingyang and was selected as a Nanli Qishi, of course, you have your own ability, but it is also indispensable for the princess's attention and care." At that time, if Qingyang selected talents to change individual examiners, it was not good to say whether you could be selected or not. If no one is left to Xiaofu, there may not be an Ivy Marquis in the future. ”
"Your fiefdom and my golden nest were built almost at the same time, I see everything in my eyes, if it weren't for Chenghe, the stone guy would not become your private army, Ananda Jinma and other capable people would not come to help you, Shanximan is still using tree branches as weapons, even if you bring the cicada Yaksha out of the deep mountains, there is no place to help them get a knife, and when they go to the battlefield, they can only pinch the enemy's neck with their hands. As for the many constructions in the fiefdom, let alone ... Without Chenghe, your fiefdom would still be a large part of the wilderness. ”
"The princess helps you set up the stage, the county lord helps you take root, without the former you can't be the Marquis of Changchun, without the latter you wouldn't have such strength, your situation in Nanli, thanks to the help of these two nobles, and they also erected the banner of Hongbo Mansion to attract people's hearts... In this way, the Qingyang victory you fought and the Southern Fire elite of the commander were all stained with their light. Gu Zhaojun is a businessman, and he is used to speaking without being verbose: "Then there is Xie Zimiao, I always thought that the real useful thing was the Xie Men lackey behind her, but I never thought that the little girl herself is really a baby, with her to help you fight, no wonder you can leave Nanhuo alone!" and Su Hang, if it weren't for her, it would be hard to say whether we could successfully escape after the first product back then, and if we could successfully block Yanding this time, it would be thanks to her. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Zhaojun laughed: "It's not that I don't know, but after I count it, I can't help but feel that I don't feel emotional or envious...... In my life, I have always felt that women are a burden, but I really didn't expect them to be so useful. Song Yang, you can have today, you can't do without them. ”
Although Gu Zhaojun just talked about things and didn't mean anything else, he praised the women around Song Yang, which was undoubtedly equivalent to belittling Song Yang's own efforts. If it were another person, he might be displeased when he heard it, but Song Yang wouldn't, on the contrary, he smiled quite happily.
Gu Zhaojun pulled Song Yang to grind his teeth, but deliberately avoided the three women of Xiao Yu, Chu Rong and Su Hang, and did not avoid the others, Wuyu Shitai was nearby, listened to their conversation clearly, interjected with a smile, and said to Gu Zhaojun: "You can't just calculate the accounts at one end, if you think about it the other way... Without Song Yang, Her Royal Highness the princess would have married a Uighur far away, and lived alone in the second half of her life; The county lord will stay in Hongbo Mansion and continue to help the old prince take care of everything, not to mention what will happen now, only the last Jingwang Rebellion, Hongbo Mansion will be difficult to pass, and her fate is self-evident. As for Xie Zixiao, I heard Shi Xiaoxiao say that Song Yang met her for the first time and reconnected with Xie Men's lackeys because of the rescue of her, even if this matter aside, Miss Xie was able to win the battle of Rinka, and the southern fire behind her, the Shamin in contact and the Uighur Great Khan in the north were all resources in Song Yang's hands, and she sang a really good show for everyone on the platform set up by Song Yang, but if there was no such platform, it was a pity that she would not be able to display her skills. ”
Wuyu didn't know anything about Su Hang, so he only said the other three women, in fact, Su Hang's situation was similar, if it weren't for Song Yang, she would have 'gone back' during the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, but could she really go back......
After Gu Zhaojun nodded, Master Wuyu continued: "Song Yang is lucky to be in love with these four women, but how can it not be their blessing? Therefore, each has nothing to lose, the clouds and water are mutually beneficial, and the yin and yang are born, and the goodness of the top. ”
Gu Zhaojun nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason." But after saying that, he blinked his eyes and asked Wuyu: "It's yin and yang again, and it's good... Shitai is a master of Buddhism, how did he talk about the truth of Taoism? ”
Song Yang smiled: "The teacher is too slippery." ”
Mrs. Shi also smiled: "You two are in love." ”
Next, the warriors carried the baggage supplies, the sailors checked the ship and sorted out the sails, and the days before and after were busy, and the auspicious day of the zodiac was specially chosen, and the elders of the crew presided over the worship of the dragon king of the sea, and the big ship finally set sail and anchored, and sailed towards the island where the disciples of Tongju were located.
Sailing on the sea, no one else cared, except for Ali Han, the leader of the Uighurs, a man who had been running horses in the desert for generations, from the moment he got on the ship, he was dizzy, he vomited in the cabin, went up to the deck, and staggered to the side of the ship, and even Song Yang and Amber couldn't cure him...... Seven days later, Alihan's seasickness had not improved, his face was dark, and he complained to others with a thin mast: "Can you not be so bumpy, dangling, all the internal organs are thrown out of the way." ”
Someone responded to him: "It's impossible not to shake, for today's plan, only you can eat more, or you won't have to vomit." ”
Everyone was laughing, but some of the crew felt a little weird, and it was normal for the ship to move on the sea and shake a little, but since this voyage, the big ship has indeed been more bumpy than every time before, and the reason is very simple: they have been going against the current. In this case, the big ship can move forward, but the speed is greatly reduced.
In the past few days, the sailors have been fine-tuning the direction of sailing, trying to turn against the current in order to increase the speed, but they have never been able to get out, which shows the huge current. Seven days without being able to get out of the countercurrent, something that was rarely seen before. In fact, even if it was seven days, their voyage would always be against the current......
When Yanding boarded the ship, the army of the second western expedition of Yan had just arrived near Renka, and a major battle was fought for more than 40 days; Song Yang and his entourage set sail two months after the Battle of Rinka, and when the time was calculated, the difference between the two sides was more than 100 days.
But there is a saying among fishermen at sea: the waves of two zhang double, and the five zhang turns yellow; Seven zhang three days and a hundred miles away, ten zhang and a half moon outside the sky.
Boats that dare to go to the deep sea for fishing must be at least five feet away, which is a smooth description of the difference in ship strength of different sizes on the sea.
Compared with the ability of the five-zhang boat to resist the waves, the seven-zhang boat, which is two zhang larger, can resist the waves that are twice as high;
If it is one size larger, than the five-zhang boat, the ten-battle boat can sail farther, the fish caught are more valuable and the carrying capacity is larger, and the two kinds of boats can also go to sea
The difference in value obtained is like comparing the white sound of the same weight with gold;
As for the last two sentences, the emphasis is on the speed of sailing, and the two ships of five zhang and twelve zhang have the same course, and they can be separated by a hundred miles in three days; As for the larger fifteen-zhang boat, after sailing for half a month, the small boat was simply thrown out of the world.
There will be an exaggeration in the slip, not worth mentioning, but it can be seen that every point of ship type in the ocean, there will be a qualitative difference in ship strength, the ship of Suzhou and Hangzhou is a special giant ship, the length of the ship is 33 zhang 3 feet and 3 feet, the width of the whole 12 zhang, more than twice as large as the fifteen ships of Yanding, the two ships are compared together, the width of the ship of Suzhou and Hangzhou is about to catch up with the captain of Yanding, and the speed of sailing is not a level at all.
In addition, there are: the direction of the two boats is the same, Song Yang and others are now going against the current, and the national teacher is also encountered, and the impact of the reverse current on the small boat is far smaller than that of the big boat; The time for everyone to set sail is early and late, but the course is southeast, and the distance from the departure place to the destination of the two sides is also far and near; Suzhou and Hangzhou's ship has been to the island twice, this time it is a familiar road, the first time the ship of the national division went to the deep sea, there is only a chart in the hand to guide the inevitable detour, all kinds of reasons add up, Song Yang and his party went to sea not long after, it surpassed the ship of Yanding, but unfortunately the sea is wide and desert, although everyone is on the same route but also failed to see each other, otherwise there is no need to run to the island to fight a decisive battle.
