Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 242 The Sea of Ice Reopens the Way Home
Above the blue waves, dotted with white sails like clouds, gradually approaching the harbor with the glow of the setting sun in the west
Bian Ping grinned, jumped onto the dock with a grin, turned around and reached out to pull Wu Dahai behind him, but was slapped by Wu Dajiao and opened his hand.
"My eldest brother is walking on the sea like a flat ground, you are a fool's ass, and you shouldn't be like this"
Wu Dahai smiled, looking at Bian Ping's flattering smile, he also felt very satisfied in his heart.
"The sea has finally opened, and Lao Tzu has long been tired of fishing here...... Grandma's, Lao Tzu is a good man who runs rampant on the sea, but he is not an ordinary fisherman like Bian Ping."
"There was no food to be delivered in one winter, and there was a big battle, and it was normal for the food shortage to be filled with fish." Wu Dajiang's words made Wu Dahai shake his head: "If I were Ye Chang, I would have to make everyone fish to make up for the shortage." Not only do you have to catch in winter, but you also have to catch more after the spring and the sea open, and the spring and summer are the seasons when there is a shortage of food, even if he has money, he is afraid that he will not be able to buy any food."
"It's still true that the eldest brother is right, the eldest brother is now more thoughtful, but unfortunately, the big boss was not as thoughtful as the eldest brother thought at the beginning, otherwise he would not have been killed by the court dog officials"
Wu Dahai could hear his brothers patting their ass, smiling on their faces, but they felt a little emotional in their hearts.
A few months ago, where would he have considered this, no different from your brothers, living in chaos. But in these days in Lushun, he watched Ye Chang act coldly every day, and he unconsciously gained something.
His current plan is just to leave Ye Chang, according to Ye Chang's plan, occupy an island, hoard grain and immigrate to become the king and hegemon. However, he still has a little regret in his heart, there are many places in Lushun that have a secrecy level, and with his identity, he can't go in and see it, otherwise, he will definitely be able to learn more things.
"Don't disperse yet, since we have confirmed that the waterway is unblocked, our affairs should not be delayed any longer." Wu Dahai groaned for a while, and after everyone's sycophants rested for a while, he said in a low voice.
"What does the eldest brother mean, is it about to start an incident immediately?" Everyone was immediately refreshed.
"Exactly, haven't you noticed it, our people, people's hearts are a little unstable now."
"Unstable?" Everyone was taken aback.
Wu Dahai smiled bitterly, this is the reason why he was promoted as the eldest brother.
They served under Ye Chang, but with their own calculations, their Wu brothers were not really surnamed Wu, let alone real brothers of the same clan, they were originally subordinates of the southeast pirate Wu Lingguang, Wu Lingguang attacked Taizhou and Mingzhou, rampant for a while, and soon perished. As the remnants of the party, they were very urgently pursued in the southeast, and in this case, they did not flee south to attach themselves to the Feng clan in Yazhou like the rest of their accomplices, but went the opposite way and went north to live in Denglai. It just so happened that Ye Chang recruited water workers, and they took the opportunity to follow it. Previously, Ye Chang lacked talents who were good at navigating in his hands, and only Su Thick Leg was a qualified captain of the open sea, and with their help, he could be regarded as safely crossing the Bohai Sea and coming to Liaodong.
In this process, the Wu Dahai brothers secretly recruited old partners and developed new members, forming a large potential force in Ye Chang's hydraulic engineering. These people originally followed the Wu Dahai brothers, and obeyed their brothers' words, although they didn't know their true intentions, but the Wu Dahai brothers were sure that they could pull them away when they turned against Ye Chang.
But now, it's a little troublesome.
Wu Dahai knew very well where the trouble came from, that is, Ye Chang personally led 500 people to fly to capture Beisha City. At the end of that war, it not only deterred the entire Jili state, but also caused the leaders of Goguryeo, Buyeo and Han people everywhere to come to take refuge, even those strong men on the sea, and they also returned to their hearts.
No matter how good a navigator is, he will eventually dock on land, and no matter how much he can toss a sailor, he also hopes to have a stable home. In Lushun, Ye Chang treated these water workers very well, and their salaries were not even inferior to those of the officials in the inland counties, and they enjoyed the treatment of officers in the Lushun army. Seeing that Ye Chang even thought of looking for a daughter-in-law for the protectors, how could they not be excited, they were afraid that Lushun would be unstable, but now that even Jili Prefecture has been in their hands, the security problem has been solved, and many people have already expressed the idea of settling down in Lushun.
"These fools, that Ye puppy has a little benefit, so he bought them, he has no ambitions, and he doesn't want to think about being a cow and horse in this scripture, where is it better than going overseas to be the king and hegemon?" Wu Dajiao said angrily.
"Don't say these useless words, in short, before everyone completely throws themselves to Ye Chang, you must do something."
Wu Dajiang next to him showed a worried expression: "Big brother, if it's not that I'm afraid of death, then Ye Chang is like a god with soldiers, if he takes things seriously, how can we be his opponents?" ”
"We are not prepared to be prepared, and we are not competing with them on land, but at sea"
Wu Dahai pointed to the place not far from their landing dock, where the work was in full swing, and the weather was warming up these days, and the civil works that had been stopped because of the freezing ground had also begun, and in this location, the original dock was to be expanded.
Everyone understood what he meant, the dock here was one of the most core places in Lushun, and it was Wu Dahai and the others, and they only had the opportunity to go in and see it twice when the new ship was launched.
One-third of these fishing boats on the sea were built in the past few months, and they are not big and the materials are not exquisite, but their agility and safety are far better than those of previous fishing boats. Since the dock was built in October last year, to the beginning of the second century, in just three months, seven or eight fishing boats have been built, and these sailors have been driving the fishing boats to fish in the unfrozen Lushun Bay when the sea is frozen.
"With these, we can dominate the whole sea." Wu Dahai said in a low voice: "When the time comes, we will go to Yizhou, first build a foundation over there, and then we can go to Yazhou, and sweep away the power of the Feng family over there, we control the shipping lanes of the Persian maritime merchants, but we can't make money like Ye Chang, and we can also have enough money to develop ourselves." Ye Chang will be constrained by the imperial court, we won't, when we come back with thousands of troops and horses...... Hehe, thinking that Ye Chang can also take some care of us, let's treat his family well."
These words made Wu Dajiang, Wu Dajiao and others excited, but Bian Ping on the side moved slightly.
"Bian Ping, you have been with us for a long time, and I am not a bad person to treat my brother." Wu Dahai smiled and said to him: "You also know that Da Jiao and I are not brothers, but righteous brothers, this matter is done, you are also our brothers."
"Exactly, our eldest brother is the king overseas, and we all have to have a Hou Ye" Wu Dahedao, who has a good relationship with Bian Ping.
"I have long seen that Brother Dahai is not an ordinary person, but he has the spirit of a king" Bian Ping was immediately full of joy: "Big brother said, what you command, I will do it"
"It's also very simple, these days, we are at sea, the most important thing is supply, so there are two things we do is the key, one is people, not only the people who follow us, but also those people in the dock; The second is grain, we have to prepare enough food, not to mention that it can last ten days and a half at sea. We will handle the problem of people, and the problem of food will be handed over to you. In these days, you have first ascertained the situation of the grain storehouse, and when the matter is done, I will assign men with you, and you will go and take the grain. ”
There are several grain depots in Lushun, and they have hoarded a lot of grain, although they are also very well guarded, but they are far worse than those on the dock. Bian Ping heard this arrangement, hesitated slightly, and then nodded: "Yes, if Bian can't do something, he is not worthy of being a brother to Brother Wu."
"Okay, refreshment, without further ado, I'll contact the people now, you go and figure out the situation, it is estimated that in three or five days, Ye Chang will order to go to sea, we must get ready before then"
Bian Ping took the order and left, looking at his back, Wu Dahai laughed.
"Big brother, can this guy really get food?" Wu Dajiao looked down on Bian Ping a little, and felt that this person didn't have any skills except for being able to slap sycophants.
"Don't look at him as a sycophant, but he is a careful and bold person, otherwise, he wouldn't have found out about our brother's identity in the first place." Wu Dahai smiled: "However, he is an outsider after all, let him go and move food...... Ye Chang regarded that grain as more precious than anything else, even tighter than the rest of his treasury."
"What do you mean, big brother?"
"It can be regarded as a test of Bian Ping's ability, Da Jiao, you also have one thing to do, but you have always acted rudely, I'm afraid you can't do very well."
"Big brother, this is bad, I used to be under the big boss, or now I am under the big brother, when did I make a mistake?"
"Ye Chang has a lot of gold, we all know the way, the last time he came from Chang'an, he brought no less than a few hundred catties of gold and silver to store these gold and silver, now I already know the way, Ye Chang is bold, the monk and Nan Jiyun were not sent to guard these gold and silver, but handed over to Liu Kun...... Liu Kun is just a craftsman, but he relies on being Ye Chang's brother-in-law, so he has to use it. Da Jiao, what you have to do at that time is to bring gold and silver from Liu Kun. I can't trust the guy surnamed Bian in this matter, so I waited until he left to say, you can do it
"Robbing homes and houses is our old business, how much difference can there be between robbing at sea and robbing on land?" Wu Dajiao was immediately overjoyed when he heard this: "Big brother, just give me a few people who carry gold and silver."
"Okay, let's brothers are of the same heart, how can there be a reason that things can't be done," Wu Dahai said happily.
They muttered quietly for a while, and when they had finished their deliberations, they dispersed. Wu Dahai and Wu Dahe went all the way, and when they saw that everyone was scattered, Wu Dahai smiled and said, "Dahe, do you think we can make it?" ”
"To be honest, not much for sure."
"So we still have to do something to attract Ye Chang's attention. Originally, it was the best time to attack Beisha City, but at that time, the sea was frozen, and even if we succeeded, there was no way to go...... Now, let's do a little bit more to prepare. ”
Wu Dahe listened to him talk about his real plan, and his expression changed: "Big brother, let's grasp it like this...... To say the least, there are seven becoming."
Wu Dahai smiled proudly and didn't say anything more.
The two of them walked along the road to the port to the tavern on the edge of the docks. The sea is humid and the winter is cold, so wine has become a favorite pastime for sailors. When the two of them arrived at the door of the tavern, and were about to go in, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then there was a noisy voice from the east gate of Lushun.
Although Lushun was only a camp, it still erected a fence, and the east gate was the gateway to and from the capital, and it was also the only way to and from Beisha City. Wu Dahai could hear the voices of the people over there, and his heart moved, this was obviously something
If something disturbs Lushun's people, it will be more conducive to his plans. He turned and walked toward the east gate.
After a while, they came to the door, but there were not many people who heard the noise, but it was from outside. The two of them stood at the door and watched, and saw dozens of horses coming in a row, including Ye Chang's figure.
"What's the matter, Ye Senjun is not in Lushun?" Wu Dahai asked casually.
"I went to Beisha City a few days ago, and now I'm back" A regimental militiaman next to him recognized him: "Wu Dahai, you came back early today." ”
"The cabin is full of fish, so naturally I have to come back early." Wu Dahai said with a smile: "Joining the army and going to Beisha City, could it be that those Fanhu in the north are unstable?" ”
"They dare" The regiment trained the militia very confidently: "Ah Weng, I have been practicing for a winter, and I hope that they will be unstable for a while, so Ah Weng and I will also make some contributions, so that I can get a thank you flag from Ye Senjun's side."
Under the leadership of Ye Chang, the people of Lushun were brave in public fighting and timid in private battles, but the regiment of militiamen did not know why Ye Chang went to Beisha City, and Wu Dahai was not easy to ask, just watching the excitement over there. After a while, several big cars following Ye Chang caught his attention, the big cars were covered by curtains, and when they passed by, there was a faint sound of crying.
Wu Dahai was very surprised in his heart, under Ye Chang's rule, he was not a road that did not pick up the road and did not avoid the house at night, at least in the trial of the case, it was still very fair, most of the people who made mistakes were punished without complaining, crying and crying all the way, and it was still by Ye Chang's side, almost unprecedented.
"Ah, I see, it's a prisoner of Beisha"
"Prisoner of Beisha...... Is it the Izumi family? Wu Dahai heard someone say something, and immediately understood.
In these cars, it should be Quan Gaihong's family. After the destruction of Beisha City, their family was imprisoned in their own mansion, and Ye Chang did not even rush to send them to Lushun in order to appease Luo Jiuhe
"In addition to the Quan family, there should also be the Gao family, you see, there is a Tong Mu Ding who is with Ye Senjun
Someone else said, there was some envy in his words, and Mou Ding was forced by Ye Chang's pressure, and finally chose to break with Gao Song, with Ye Chang's help, Gao Song also became a prisoner of the stairs, and was detained in Beisha City with Quan Gaihong.
The two were sent to Lushun......
Wu Dahai's expression suddenly tightened, Ye Chang brought them at this time, which only meant one thing, and he would return to the Central Plains soon.
"We must hurry, big brother, if we miss this opportunity and delay it, our people's hearts will be scattered, and maybe someone will sell us" Wu Dahe also thought about it, and whispered in his ear.
