Hu Guang sat in the cabin, this kind of small fishing boat swayed more than the hundreds of tons of "Hope" he sat in front of him, but fortunately, before coming, he listened to Huang Shi's advice and prepared some motion sickness medicine and words, otherwise, it is estimated that he will have to go to the side of the boat to vomit like his current subordinates.

"In ancient times, there was no convenient means of transportation, so it's no wonder that the march of a hundred miles took several days." Hu Guang, as a former special forces, has undergone strict survival limit training, he does not have as many cleanliness as Huangshi, and can be safe for all kinds of harsh living environments, so this kind of living conditions in ancient times are not unacceptable to him, but considering the traffic environment in the 16th century, he has doubts for the first time whether he can unify the world in the future within 50 years.

The day before yesterday, he and a few selected fighters came out of Dongluo Island, rode the wind and waves on the "Hope", and arrived at Langqi in the morning and evening, and then spent one night on the island, and then set off again the next day, but because it was already at the mouth of the Minjiang River, the "Hope" was strange-looking, and naturally it was not suitable for sailing up, so it was changed to a larger fishing boat.

This fishing boat is only compared with other small fishing boats, and the wind and waves at the mouth of the Min River are very fast, Hu Guang did not dare to stand on the bow of the boat to blow the sea breeze, for fear of accidentally falling into the river when he waited for the next one, so he sat in the cabin with everyone else, and two people were left outside to watch the owner and they operate the boat.

Just sitting like this, feeling that the time is very difficult, and looking at the faces of several other people, Hu Guang hopes to get to Fuzhou Mansion as soon as possible. Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I don't know how long it took, the curtain of the cabin was opened, and Du Yande poked his head in from the outside and said, "Chief, it's here." ”

"It's here, that's great." Hu Guang wanted to get up, but accidentally, the boat shook, and the person hit the bulkhead.

"Chief, does it matter?" The other soldiers around him were all happy just now, but because they didn't have Hu Guang's instructions, they were still sitting cross-legged on the board, so they quickly stood up and walked over to help him up.

Hu Guang shook his head and replied, "It doesn't matter, it's just that I've been sitting cross-legged for too long, and my legs are a little numb." ”

He propped up the bulkhead with his left hand and rubbed his right hand on his thigh twice, saying to the others, "You guys go out and see it first." ”

When Hu Guang came out, the sailboat had already entered the port, and slowly leaned towards the wharf, only to see that the wharf was full of countless small sailboats about the same size as this ship, and there were also many short, black and thin people on the wharf who were busy.

"Is this Bright Harbor?" Hu Guang asked Du Yande, who was standing aside.

"No, it's the estuary." Du Yande thought for a while, as if he had never heard of this place name.

"Oh." Hu Guang is not familiar with the history of Fuzhou City, that is, the term "Guangming Port", he also heard Lao Huang mention it to him before leaving, in fact, "Guangming Port" is not "estuary", Lao Huang mistakenly thought.

"Guangming Port" is an inland river in Fuzhou urban area, in the 24th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1935, excavated by the Fuzhou Water Conservancy General Engineering Office, it is the Jin'an River, Xingang River, Yingzhou River into the Minjiang River, from the Xingang Sluice in the west, to the Kuiqi Jiumen Gate in the east, is the largest backbone river in Fuzhou City. Overall length 6545. 8 meters, 50 to 140 meters wide, and 1 meter deep during dry seasons. There are Xingang Sluice, Bajian Drainage Sluice, Lianpan Sluice, Fengban Sluice, Ocean Sluice, Far East Sluice, Shangqi Sluice, Jiumen Sluice, 38 Pumping Station and 3 bridges along the line.

And "Hekou" is in the south of the modern Fuzhou Guohu Road Guanhou Street, about two or three miles away from the South Gate Dou Road, don't look at the modern here is the urban area of high-rise buildings, but in ancient times it is a place outside the city with a dense water network, in the south of the "estuary", there is a wider river channel leading directly to the Minjiang River, and you can also pass through the sea boats, therefore, the estuary naturally becomes the wharf of Fuzhou. It's just 500 years of siltation and vicissitudes of life that have changed all that.

Speaking of which, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the scope of Fuzhou City was so large that it was within the city walls of Fuzhou City, which is equivalent to today's Fuzhou Gulou District. The city built in the early years of the Ming Dynasty only included it, and its southernmost point was about the line of the South Gate Pocket and the Water Department.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, outside the south gate of Fuzhou is still a water network area, that is, it is now this place in the urban area of Taijiang, which was divided into several sandbanks by the waterway, such as Bangzhou, Cangxiazhou, Yamu Zhou, Yizhou, Lengyanzhou, these sandbanks are overgrown with wild grass, it is the place where gulls and birds inhabit, only a few places have settlements, the most important of which is "estuary".

As early as the Song Dynasty, the government set up "riverside affairs" here to collect taxes on merchant ships. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court determined Fuzhou as the only port for trade with the Ryukyus, and the "estuary" was the nearest wharf that the big ships outside Fuzhou could approach, so the "estuary" was naturally determined to be the location of the "Rouyuan Station" where the Ryukyu envoys were placed, and then it became the location of the factory for the manufacture of canonized Ryukyu boats, where a large number of officials, craftsmen, soldiers, and foreign businessmen gathered, which was a great stimulus to the development of Fuzhou city.

In particular, "during the reign of Ming Hongzhi, the governor Deng Neijian began to dig a new port to open the river, and then the ships came and went, and the local people became the city." Due to the abundance of trade opportunities in the area, the "city" of the estuary is, of course, very complex.

"It's pretty lively." Hu Guang muttered secretly, don't look at this pier in his eyes is small and broken, not professional at all, but there are a lot of moored sailboats, he jumped off the boat behind Du Yande and them, stood on the land and suddenly dizzy, fortunately, it didn't take long to get used to it.

"What are they talking about?" Hu Guang asked Du Yande, who was standing in front of him, in a low voice, he saw that the people around him seemed to be pointing at him, but unfortunately he didn't understand those "Fuzhou Pinghua" at all, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that the Fujian dialect was a bird language.

Du Yande listened carefully, looked back at Hu Guang again, and replied with some amusement, "Chief, they said that your hair bun is crooked." ”

"Oh, that's right." Hu Guang hurriedly helped his wig bun, including him, everyone was originally a small flat head, in order to go to Fuzhou City to perform tasks, so they also brought wig sets for acting in advance, so pretending to be a bright person, others couldn't see it at all.

It's just that he touched the bulkhead just now, and then the bun was crooked, plus the others are tall, and compared with those short people, I feel that they are both as tall as the two of them, so it is particularly eye-catching and attracts a lot of discussions.

……

When Du Yande went to find the car, Hu Guang and several other soldiers stood in a corner of the dock, and several people formed a vigilant frame, surrounding a large pile of things among them, they brought a lot of things this time, in addition to some tools and weapons, and those sky-high goods that Huangshi asked him to bring.

A little bit of the momentum that these fighters have trained in the past few months, although there are not many people, but their sturdy bodies and solemn expressions are not easy to mess with at first glance, so that those guys who are begging for a living on the dock dare not come forward to take work, they can only watch from a distance, and the two sides are just like this, you look at me, I look at you.

Over there, Du Yande quickly hired a few cars, and everyone carried those large piles of things into the car, so they followed the car "squeak" and "squeak" and set off towards Fuzhou City. The bustling streets along the road are really dazzling and dizzying for the warriors who have just come out of the island and have not yet gone far. But for Hu Guang, this degree of prosperity is not as good as that of some small modern county towns.

The car went out of the "estuary port", traveled for half an hour, and finally entered the city along the south gate, and came to the door of a house in the back alley of Yongan Street, this house was purchased by Su Minyou not long ago, the yard has been repaired, and the white walls and black tiles are new from the outside of the door.

Du Yande stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard someone inside the door asking, "Who?" ”

"Shopkeeper Wen, we are here to deliver the goods from Shunchang Xing!"

"Here we are." Du Yande, who was outside the door, heard a sound of rustling inside, and then as if someone was looking out through the crack in the door, he frowned.

The door finally opened, revealing a fat face behind the door, this is not who Wen Desi is, Du Yande was about to punch him in the chest, so he heard him say happily, "Oh, it turns out, it's Du Steward, come on, come on, quickly move the goods in." ”

When Du Yande heard him say this, he remembered that in addition to his own people, there were a few handlebars behind him, so he turned around and beckoned back, "Brothers, move the goods in." ”

"Okay." Everyone responded, and the handlebar style obviously wanted to help, but Du Yande stopped him, and he wanted to calculate the car cost for them.

"Thank you, Steward."

"Thank you, Steward Du, ......."

A few handlebars counted the dozens of copper coins that they received from Du Yande's hand, and found that they were a few more than the price they had said before, and they thanked them repeatedly.

When these handlebars were far away, Du Yande and Wen Desi closed the door and locked it, and then walked inside together, Wen Desi said, "I also received a telegram from the chief just now, I didn't expect you to arrive in a while." ”

"Telegram?" It was the first time Du Yande had heard of it, and he was a little surprised, it was estimated that it was the chief's new magic weapon.

Wen Deji smiled, "Hehe, I'll show you later." ”

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that everyone was standing in the middle of the courtyard to rest, and they were only discussing the prosperity of the city in a whisper. Wen Deji walked to the front of a wing room on the west side, pushed open the door and said, "Everyone will help me move these goods to the room first, and then I will arrange for everyone to eat." ”

Everyone said "no hurry" and "no hurry", and then they started to get busy, because they had to take out the tools and weapons that had been in the cargo and assemble them.
