Chapter 192: Sea Lanes

After analysis, everyone knew that the big barbarian would definitely not come to attack Wanghai City in a short period of time, although he would still be strong, at least psychologically he didn't have to be so urgent.

If you want to fight in this era, it is generally after the autumn harvest, and now May is almost June, and there are still three months before the autumn harvest, and this year the big barbarians want to fight and it is estimated that they can't catch up, so it is most likely next year, after a year of rest, the South Crossing border is estimated to be calm, and then the big barbarians will come to deal with Wanghai City, but who can say for sure what will happen after a year? Maybe the big barbarians don't come, but Wanghai City will attack first, which comes from their confidence in Lin Bei, the dragon god.

It only took half a year to Xishan Township, Xishan Township became prosperous, and then divided one side, now Wanghai City has many more people than the original Xishan Township, with the ability of the Dragon God, I don't know what it will develop into a year, hum, then the big barbarian will have time to cry.

Later, Cui Lan talked about the passage again.

This waterway is the sea channel from the mouth of the Han River to the sea channel of Wanghai City today, sea navigation has always been quite difficult, not to mention this era, even if the technology is so advanced in later generations, there are still a lot of shipwrecks every year, once the shipwreck, almost all the people on the ship die.

The sea area from the mouth of the Han River to Wanghai City is almost 500 miles if it is calculated as a straight line distance, but this is the most ideal situation, this ideal situation is not attainable now, don't look at the military ships can sail freely in the river, once they enter the sea, it is nothing at all, this kind of medium-wing boat can overturn a wave, so the current channel still needs to be close to the coastline.

Don't think it's okay to walk along the coastline, the most on the coastline are reefs and whirlpools, and if you don't carelessly, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and there are many creatures in the sea now. All kinds of big fish are not uncommon, and these fish may also lead the big boat to capsize.

Because it is not easy to explain clearly, Cui Lan drew a map, and she used the county seats of Jiuzhen and Rinan counties as the coordinates, and then marked the nearby dangerous sea areas, so that she coordinated. It's clear at a glance.

"There are nine reefs? There are six underwater whirlpools? What's here? A school of mackerel? ”

Seeing this simple map, Lin Bei knew what Cui Lan and they had experienced this time, more than a dozen sea areas that could lead the ship to destroy people, only one ship was destroyed and it was really blessed to return safely, it was strange that Cui Lan would say that it was Lord Hongfu, maybe it was really God who also took care of Cui Lan and them in the dark.

Looking at the map, Bian Jixi said: "My lord, with such a sea area, why dare the big barbarians come to attack?" ”

There are such seas in. Only Wanghai City went to fight others, and no one else came to fight Wanghai City, Lin Bei said: "Actually, I have never worried that someone can attack Wanghai City from the sea." ”

Lin Bei is too confident, the ships in this era are generally not big, even if hundreds of ships come, Lin Bei can still overturn them one by one, how many people will die, is it in vain to be the home field? No one is afraid of Haili Linbei. Even if all the generals of the Three Kingdoms gather in Linbei, they can do it by themselves.

Bian Ji was overjoyed, and Lin Bei had this guarantee. In the future, only they will be able to beat others, and others can only be beaten passively, which is the real freedom to advance and retreat.

Later, Cui Lan nodded a few more points with drinks on the map and explained: "My lord, these are the small islands that Cui Lan discovered. Cui Lan has never been up to see it, these islands are not very big, and they look very desolate, originally Cui Lan was going to ask the adults to build guard towers on these small islands. As a precaution, if someone attacks at sea, you can light the wolf smoke, but the adults are so confident, Cui Weilan's efforts are in vain. ”

Lin Bei looked at these small islands, there were more than ten in total, and then asked carefully about the topography of these small islands, but there were abnormalities, Cui Lan recalled them one by one, and then remembered something: "My lord, there is a small island that is really abnormal, and I found some monsters in the sea there." ”

"Oh? What a monster? Lin Bei became interested.

Cui Lan frowned, and slowly described: "This beast is like a horse, the body is about a zhang, and the human face can be vaguely seen, when I found them, they were half in the sea, half of their bodies were on the beach by the sea, the number was very large, maybe more than thousands, and when we waited for the military ship to arrive, these monsters went into the sea, as if they were very timid, and their cries were also very strange, Cui Lan had never heard such a scream, oh yes, these monsters still have hair on their heads, and they look a little scary, if they hadn't followed the adults for a long time, Cui Lan would have been a little bold, I didn't dare to look at it. ”

If a horse is like a horse, a foot long, and a human face? Strange screams, and hair? Lin Bei pondered for a long time and didn't come up with what kind of sea beast it was, could it be some kind of sea beast that had never been discovered? Lin Bei said: "What might you look like when you draw this thing?" ”

Cui Lan nodded, and slowly painted, Cui Lan's painting skills are not very good, but the general appearance should be about the same, and when Cui Lan drew the fat body of the sea beast, Lin Bei sighed, he knew what kind of sea beast this was, this is a sea manatee.

Manatees are also called dugongs, which is the prototype of the legendary mermaids, manatees are the same as whales, they are viviparous animals in the sea, and modern manatees have been mostly killed by people, because the living environment of manatees is easy to contact with humans.

They mainly live in shallow seas, and even in rivers, generally only plants in the sea, timid, and one of the prey of sharks, which is a bit like dolphins, but dolphins are much more fertile than manatees, and manatees can only give birth to a small manatee at a time.

"This sea beast is a manatee, it is not a threat, they do not attack people, and in addition, the sea meat is extremely delicious, no worse than a ploughing ox."

"In that case, would it be good to send a sergeant to hunt down some?"

Lin Bei thought about it, there should be a lot of manatees in this era, so he nodded, it is okay to hunt some, as long as it is not over-flooded, thousands of manatees in a group, and killing dozens of manatees every year will not cause extinction.

In addition, Lin Bei also instructed Bian Ji that if there is biogas liquid in the biogas digester to be used to make the ground, then the biogas liquid should also be transported by boat to the vicinity of the small island and the biogas liquid will be thrown away, which is to fertilize the algae under the sea and make the seaweed grow faster, so that the living environment of the manatees will also become better and grow faster, just like captivity.

After this matter was decided, Lin Bei instructed Cui Lan to do other things, Cui Lan's task is quite heavy, and it is also very busy, now the channel from Cochin to Ninan has been opened, but the channel further south of Wanghai City still has to be explored, there are the Gulf of Thailand, the Burma Sea and the Bengal Sea in the future, Cui Lan needs to go to the trip in person, at least to explore this sea area of the Bengal Sea, so that Lin Bei can get combustible ice in the future.

"Cui Lan, you will definitely meet some barbarians over there, if these barbarians are friendly, if they have a bad attitude, then you can act at your discretion, your safety is the most important, understand?" Lin Bei admonished.

"Cui Lan understands." Cui Lan was first grateful, and then her face was full of anger, she was not the Cui Lan she used to be, several battles had tempered Cui Lan's iron heart.

Lin Bei nodded, and said in his heart that Cui Lan is now a bit like Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty, but Zheng He's methods are much gentler, and now that the nearby barbarians have not been civilized, it is difficult to convince them with words, so killing is a good method, and they can't wait until they are strong to invade Huaxia, right?

While they were discussing these matters in Lin Bei, Xu Shu and Meng Shu had already entered Jingzhou, and they were about to go to the Confucian Academy in Xiangyang County to find Daxian.

At this moment, Xu Shu is not the Xu Shu who fled at the beginning, before leaving, Lin Bei gave them two thousand gold and thousands of money, these rich funds are enough for the three of them to squander for a long time, so at this time, Xu Shu is freshly dressed and angry, and the image of a handsome son, and Meng Shu is carrying a mace, a majestic white elephant under his crotch, eyebrows and eyes, looking like Xu Shu's guard, Zhu Rong changed into women's clothes, but her face was still disguised, did not show her original appearance, pretended to be Xu Shu's sister, the three of them rushed from Yizhou, and at this time they had already arrived in Nanyang County.

Jingzhou has been a rich land since ancient times, now the Central Plains is in turmoil, Jingzhou's yellow scarves are not very numerous, it seems peaceful and peaceful, Jingzhou's county center Xiangyang City's Confucian school is even more famous, the fame is not inferior to Yingchuan Academy, if the history is not deviated, Xu Shu will still come to the Confucian school to study.

"This Jingzhou is also peaceful, as if there is no war." Riding on the horse, Xu Shu and Meng Shu laughed.

Meng Shu was a little disdainful: "These people are weak, they must be greedy for pleasure, in case of war, these people will die the fastest." ”

Xu Shu scolded with a smile: "Restrain your evil spirit, we are here to study this time, and what we learned is the policy of governing the country. ”

Meng Shu snorted: "If you talk about these truths and those sour Confucians, I will just rush to the battlefield and kill people when the time comes." ”

Xu Shu laughed: "Brother is indeed a fierce general, if he is handsome, he will take his brother as the forward general, but brother, even if he is a forward general, he must be familiar with military affairs, and now the adult gave me money, not only for me Xu Shu, but also for the brother, the brother can not brush off the adult's kindness." ”

Xu Shu brought Lin Bei up, and Meng Shu was stunned, "Listen to what you say, Hugh will bluff me with your lord."

Xu Shu was secretly funny, Meng Shu had a really violent temper, and caused several things along the way because of his barbarian identity, Meng Shu almost burst out and killed people, Meng Shu lost his temper, Xu Shu and Zhu Rong couldn't stop it, and only when he mentioned the adults could he make it.

The three of them entered Nanyang, the pedestrians on the street were weaving, the three of them came to this city for the first time, quite fresh, found a post house to rest first, and found a wine shop, ready to use some food and inquire about the news, just sat down, then heard someone on the side said: "I heard that Mr. Decao has entered Xiangyang, ready to give a lecture in the Confucian school in the near future?" ”

"However, the war in the Central Plains, Mr. Decao came to Xiangyang for refuge, but it is a grand event in my Jingzhou, even Pang Degong came down from Lumen Mountain some time ago, and rushed to Xiangyang in the starry night.

Xu Shu and Meng Shu glanced at each other, this luck was really good, as soon as they arrived here, they could hear the news of Daxian, and it happened to be in the Confucian Academy. (To be continued......)
