Chapter 23 Tang Character Golden Dragon Banner
As soon as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" began, it immediately attracted the soldiers of the whole ship, and this kind of chapter hui style novel, which had never been heard before, suddenly swept the fleet.
The identity of the storyteller is also rising. It has the style of the Three Kingdoms of Yizhong in later generations.
When the officers and men on the ship saw him, they would respectfully clasp their fists and salute, and shout, "Mr. Ye." This made the military advisor surnamed Ye Xiaobeard a little fluttery.
Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, the two lovers of the Three Kingdoms, gave Xiaomu a lot of privileges, the number of guards increased from two to four, and the official position was promoted from the second turn of the seventh rank of the cloud cavalry captain to the fourth turn of the sixth rank of the fourth rank of the Xiao cavalry captain military division.
This great news has stimulated the enthusiasm of the mustache to talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he has to fight at night every night, preview all the plots to be told tomorrow, master the tone of his speech, and strive to be fascinating.
In fact, you don't need to be so serious with a mustache, since "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be listed as one of the four masterpieces in later generations, its storytelling, interest and circulation value have naturally undergone the test of countless people and time.
Every time the mustache tells a story, it can attract a large group of officers and soldiers to listen to the book, except for those on duty and the night shift, almost the field is full, everyone admires the righteousness of the martial saint Guan Yu, the traitor Cao Cao, and the wisdom of the wise sage Zhuge Kongming, every time he listens to the book, if the mustache says that Cao Cao is powerful, everyone will scold, and once Liu Bei is advantageous, everyone will smile again.
Xu Yang had no choice but to express his deepest sympathy for Comrade Cao Cao, who had been the blame for the ages.
Niu Jinda had a lot of complaints about the storytelling behavior on Xu Yang's ship, but Xu Yang looked at the satellite positioning of his mobile phone and reported the exact location of the fleet several times, Niu Jinda was no longer too lazy to ask Xu Yang about the military and politics on the ship, and was bent on arranging to Quanzhou.
Three days was very fast, and the mustache talked about the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the twenty-first time, "Cao Cao cooked wine on the hero Guan Gong earning the city and cutting the car", Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Chumo were still in the middle of the mind, the fleet was already almost in Quanzhou, looking at the land from the fleet, it was obvious that all kinds of dwellings were gradually increasing, and the population was becoming more and more obvious.
These fishing boats are generally very small, the largest fishing boats have only one cabin, and twenty people can stand on the deck, which is a very large boat, and the kind that can only carry three or four people abounds.
The fleet sailed around these small boats, as if huge giants were looking down on a child, and Cheng Shimo pulled Xu Yang to the bow of the boat to look at these fishing boats with great interest.
Xu Yang was now on the deck, and he could clearly see the frightened expressions of the fishermen on those small boats, they had never seen such a large fleet in their lives, and they were terrified when they saw it once.
Looking at the tanned fishermen who were exposed to the sun, their skin had experienced wind and rain, and they looked dry and shriveled, Xu Yang was a little unbearable, and ordered: "Pass my order and raise the Tang Dragon Flag!" ”
Meng Xiaoqi is a native of Liujian Township, Quanzhou, 16 years old this year, the wind and sun are beautiful in March, it is a good season for fishing, grandpa woke himself up very early, and the two of them ate a meal of leaf wheat cakes in the house and prepared to go out to sea to fish.
Liujian Township is a relatively large township in Quanzhou, the number of people under the rule is more than the general county, most of the villagers are fishing for business, many families are fishing families, the ancestors of the three generations are fishing.
The Meng family is such a family, a fishing business, in the final analysis, it is a business that eats the sea by the sea, if you are lucky, dozens of catties a day, and if you are unlucky, you often have no harvest for a day.
Three years ago, when Meng Xiao was seventy-three years old, his father went out to sea to fish that day, because of bad luck, there was no harvest in a day, so in the afternoon he sailed to the farther sea to try his luck, but the bad news came that there was a storm at sea, and his father has never been back since.
My mother contracted tuberculosis two years ago, and after spending all her family savings, she did not get better, and finally died with her grandmother the year before last. A huge family withered, leaving only the old and the young who were miserable.
Since then, Meng Xiaoqi and his grandfather have depended on each other, he has experienced human suffering as a teenager, he has grown up very quickly, and he is also very sensible, his grandfather is not in good health, and he has fallen ill after many years of fishing, at this time, Meng Xiaoqi will carry the burden of the family, and his thin body has to carry fishing tools that are twice as heavy as his own weight every day to go fishing with his grandfather.
This morning, Meng Xiaoqi just went out and met an acquaintance, it was Uncle Wang, who had not been seen for a long time, his family had a medium-sized sea boat, and every time the whole township recruited the sea fish team, their family would go, and the sea fish team would go back to the farther sea area to fish together, and more importantly, every time they would go to Ryukyu Island to stay for a period of time, trade goods with the people there, and every time they returned, they could harvest a lot.
"Seven boys, are you going to go to the sea to fish?" Uncle Wang saw Meng Xiaoqi carrying fishing gear, and asked with concern from a distance.
"Yes, Uncle Wang, today I want to go fishing with my grandfather." Uncle Wang is very good and often takes care of himself, so Meng Xiaoqi also replied enthusiastically.
"That's really a coincidence, today the uncle also went out to sea to fish, the uncle will take your boat with you"
When fishing, if a larger boat assists, the catch can increase a lot, but generally the big boat is reluctant to drag itself with a small boat.
Meng Xiaoqi knew that this was Uncle Wang taking care of him, and said a little embarrassed: "Uncle Wang, forget it, bring a small boat to drag you fishing." ”
"This guy, what is not a drag, see your uncle outside, go, let's go to the boat together." Uncle Wang had already walked over, took the fishing gear from Meng Xiaoqi, picked it up and walked to the beach
Today's weather is very good, cloudless, the blue sky is reflected in the mirror-like sea, the sun is above the eastern sky, and it is estimated that it will be two more hours before noon, and now is a good time for fishing.
Meng Xiaoqi is very happy today, because with Uncle Wang's fishing boat, today encountered a rare harvest, all the way to the north, it seems that the fish in the south have been frightened, and they have no brains to hit the fishing net, and now not only their own fishing boats have found out about this, many fishing boats know about it, and the fishing boats have all turned their bows to the north to fish.
"Wow" is a skilled net, a rope, a skillful net, and a lot of bouncing sea fish on the deck, Meng Xiaoqi is full of smiles, this kind of harvest has not been encountered for a long time, skillfully wiped the sweat on his face, Meng Xiaoqi began to calculate in his heart that so many fish can be sold to the fish market to make hundreds of dollars.
Just as Meng Xiaoqi was happy in his heart, thinking about how much money he could save to marry a daughter-in-law and continue the incense for the Meng family, he heard a big man in cloth on Uncle Wang's boat pointing to the north and shouting, "Look at that!" ”
Meng Xiaoqi looked in the direction of the big man's finger, and saw a scene that was unimaginable in his life, only to see that on the horizon in the north, a group of big ships covering the sky and the sun were heading over, and those ships were more than a few meters high, like moving castles in the distance.
"Son, why don't you fish?" The grandfather on the side had some problems with his ears, he didn't hear the shouts of the big man, and he asked when he saw Meng Xiaoqi in a daze.
Meng Xiaoqi pointed to the north tremblingly, and his grandfather was also dumbfounded when he saw such a huge fleet.
In an instant, the fishing boats, as if frightened fish, immediately turned their bows and wanted to sail back to the port, but how could the speed of the fishing boats compare with the sails and steam engines.
Soon, the fleet sailed to the vicinity of these small fishing boats, Meng Xiaoqi vaguely heard Uncle Wang's clothes someone crying and shouting that the pirates are finished and something like that, his heart was beating wildly, he had always heard that pirates on the sea were very ferocious and terrifying, especially the pirates from the distant Wa country, those were barbarians who ate human flesh, but he didn't expect to be hit by himself today, clenching the harpoon in his hand, Meng Xiaoqi decided that once the pirates boarded the ship to kill, he would resist to the end.
The fleet slowly passed by these small fishing boats, and the fishermen on those fishing boats all shivered as they looked at these sea beasts about five or six feet tall and as tall as a city wall.
Meng Xiaoqi's hand holding the steel fork was also trembling, in front of this kind of large-scale sea river that he had never seen before, manpower always had a sense of powerlessness, he raised his head, reflected the sun, and vaguely saw a unique big ship full of steel nails, a young man wearing a brocade robe and jade robe, looking at himself from a distance with a warm face, as if he was like a messenger from heaven.
Meng Xiaoqi actually had an urge to kneel at this time, and then he suddenly saw a huge golden flag rising on many warships, and a galloping golden dragon was printed with a blood-red Tang character.
"Tang Dragon Banner!" In the distance, a big man on the sea boat shouted heartbreakingly, as if celebrating the rest of his life after the festival.
Then, the tide spread among all the fishing boats, and the crowd cheered for the flag.
It turned out to be our Datang ship. Meng Xiaoqi's eyes widened at this time, and he silently thought in his heart, looking fascinated, 'When will I be able to board such a big ship!'
The golden flag is still fluttering on the sea, the blood-red Tang characters are as bright as splashing blood, and the real dragon embroidered with gold is fluttering in the wind, as if it is about to gallop out and cruise the four seas. RS
