Chapter 952: Don't bully the poor boy
"Brother Xiao, this is another boatload of fish today, Brother Xiao is really our No. 1 player on the Baishui River. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "A tattered fishing boat approached the dock, and the fishermen on the left and right praised it one after another, but Sean's face was not much joy, because he still didn't know how much the fish could be sold for, and whether he could make up enough money for the doctor's visit and medicine.
You must know that this fish can not be sold casually, he can only sell it to the fishermen on the dock, and then these fishermen will send it to the restaurants and fish markets in the city to sell, but during this time, the fishermen also seem to know that he is eager to use the money, so he desperately lowers the price, even if he is not allowed to make enough money, and he can't transport the fish to the city to sell by himself, because this is a bad rule, and people with bad rules generally will not end well.
Sure enough, when he sent the fish to the fisherman, the other party lowered the purchase price by three percent, Sean stared red and clenched his fists, but the other party still looked fearless, because they all knew that Sean would not dare to do it, and once she did, she would be taken to prison, and who would take care of his mother at home at that time?
Sean swallowed the copper coin and hurriedly went to find the doctor, but the doctor had to visit those officials, gentry and big families first, and when it was his turn, it was already night, and finally invited the doctor home, but was told that his mother's illness was terminal, and he could only talk about personnel.
After burying his mother, Sean came to the restaurant to get drunk, and after a while, he drank too much and lay on the table, and at this time, the storyteller in the restaurant happened to talk about a certain script of Feng Menglong.
“...... Long Aotian clenched his fists, hated Lin Dahu for bullying people too much, and couldn't help shouting, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, today I Long Mou wrote down, and he will be repaid a hundred times in the future", saying that Long Aotian went away, went straight to the Yamen of the Sailor to join the Northern Navy, and then won the appreciation of Shangguan, and was repeatedly reused, and made great contributions in the crusade against Jiannu and the pacification of the Wa Kingdom, and when he returned to the Lin family again, he was already a military general of the imperial court of the fourth grade......" The storyteller was talking with flying eyebrows, and the audience listened fascinated.
"Don't bully the poor boy? You can say that again! The drunken Sean slammed the table, thinking that Long Aotian could go to the water division to fight for a future, and my Xiao someone's water nature is also one of the best on this Baishui River, and he will definitely be able to earn a general back, and he will definitely repay the humiliation of those fishermen and big families a hundred times in the future.
After that, Sean turned around and left, packed up some dry food and went straight to Qiongzhou Mansion to join the army, to the Nanyang Naval Division, because he was familiar with the water, training hard, and sure enough, like Long Aotian, he won the appreciation of Shangguan, and soon served as a boatswain on a small warship, Sean always remembered the story of Long Aotian, did not dare to be sloppy in doing things, and studied hard between tasks to learn those more advanced navigation techniques.
Then in the crusade against the Manila natives in the war bravely took the lead, the first to rush down the warship, killed several indigenous chiefs in a row, and was recommended to participate in the entrance examination of the Sailor School, the previous hard work finally played a role, he entered the Northern Sailor Academy as the last to study, in the school he hung over the beam and stabbed the strands, and slowly caught up with the students who had been studying for many years, and when they finally graduated, they were among the top three students in this world, and they were ranked first in navigation and stargazing.
At this time, the Northern Sailors were just forming an expedition fleet to Australia - named Penglai Continent by Li You on the continent of Daming, and they were in great need of skilled crews, so they snatched Sean directly from the Southern Sailors and became a member of the flagship, and then before he set off, he actually met His Majesty the Emperor of Daming, and His Majesty the Emperor even raised a glass to see them off in person, so Sean believed more and more that this path was the right choice.
However, what he didn't expect was what a difficult journey awaited them, starting from the port of Jinmen to the south, and arriving at the Boni country, this journey was better, but when they entered the unknown sea, disasters followed one after another, first encountered an unprecedented huge storm, the battleship was sent to the peak of the wave and then fell fiercely, the soldiers on the ship could only hold on to everything they could grasp, but even so, many people were thrown into the sea and never seen again.
After the storm, they repaired the warship, but found that there was a problem with the ship's cabin that stored fresh water at some point, and they had to repeatedly cut the supply of fresh water in order to be able to support it to a certain island for replenishment; However, when they finally saw the island and landed ashore in search of fresh water, they were attacked by the natives, and many sailors died under poisoned arrows.
Then there were many unfortunate things such as yaw, ship damage, etc., but they still persevered, and finally arrived at Penglai Zhou, they circled around Penglai Island to draw a map, and even went ashore to collect some local specialties, such as a big mouse with a bag on its belly, a beast with a mouth like a duck, etc., but unfortunately most of these animals died on the way back, and not many of them finally arrived in Daming alive.
However, just the nautical chart was enough to make Li You happy, after verifying their merits, the commander who led the team was directly canonized as an earl, becoming the sixth person who was born after Yu Zhigao, Chen Guangfu, Zheng Zhilong, Admiral of the Southern Navy, and Chen Xu, who had just returned from the North American continent not long ago, Sean was also able to be promoted several levels in a row and became an officer from the fifth grade, although this could not catch up with Long Aotian in the novel, but it was enough to make him return home.
After returning to his hometown, Sean immediately sent a letter of submission to the local yamen, counting the sins of those who had oppressed him in the first place, and let them get the punishment they deserved.
This matter was also noticed by Zhang Dai and others, and immediately found Sean, processed his experience, and then published it in the newspaper, this is a real case, but it is more convincing than the story of Long Aotian and others, for a while, the words of "don't bully the poor boy" have become the mantra of many people in the Ming Dynasty, and they have also embarked on their own adventures under the inspiration of Sean and Long Aotian, the loser is forgotten, and the winner continues to inspire a new batch of adventurers as a legend to go to the North American continent, to Penglai Island, to Tianzhu, Travel to the kingdoms of Tessie in search of your own wealth.
