The seafaring of this era was still very backward, and before the advent of steamships, the life of sailors at sea was extremely terrible. They slept cramped more than sardines, ate food harder than rocks, and the fresh water stored in the ship's barrels soon spoiled and became smellier than footwater. Therefore, if the lowest people in the world did not have a way to live, they would not be willing to become sailors of seagoing ships, and even if they were sailors of seagoing ships, they generally refused to sail to the sea.

Huangshi visited Yasuo Kuroshima's ocean-going ship, and the smell in the cabin for sailors was no better than that of a toilet, no wonder sailors in this era were playing with their lives when they went to sea, and the mortality rate always hovered around three or four percent.

Fresh water must be boiled before it can be covered and preserved, a bucket must be drunk to open it, boiled water must be drunk, and the deck must be washed with seawater every day...... Huang Shi imposed all his health regulations on Hei Dao whether he had them or not, and this time he sent Liu Qingyang and ten other subordinates to accompany him, Huang Shi didn't want them to die of illness on the road.

The last reform was the hammock, so that the cabins would not be too crowded and cause diseases to spread and spread. Huangshi did everything he could to improve the conditions of navigation.

One historical view is that it was the Xiaoice period, which began in the mid-sixteenth century, that spurred the Age of Discovery. At this time, the European livestock industry was also hit hard, and the southward movement of the rainfall belt caused a continuous drought, so that generations of European farmers could not find forage for their livestock to survive the winter.

It is also this that leads to the shortage of spices, and the large amount of meat that needs to be cured makes spices more expensive than the same weight of gold in Europe, and in the winter a pound of spice can be exchanged for three pounds of gold. In this way, the ocean trade suddenly became so profitable that it was worth the risk of people's lives.

In the transcontinental spice trade, the British, Spanish, and Dutch seafaring techniques all made great progress, and began to pass through China in the early seventeenth century.

At this time, China did not stop, the Wanli Dynasty for decades of disasters forced the Wanli Son of Heaven to lose virtue again, he wanted to relieve the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also had to fight against the outside world, so he blatantly overthrew the Ming ancestral system, announced that the sea ban would be abolished, as long as the silver could be handed over to the inner treasury sea trade to run casually. For example, after the end of the war against Japan, the emperor of Wanli was eager to resume trade with Japan to increase his income. These incentives have made China's HNA technology and shipbuilding technology also fly, and the race between the eastern and western coastal civilizations has just begun.

Previously, the Emperor of Wanli had already sent eunuchs to loot the mine tax, porcelain tax and tea tax to support the Nine Border Military Town and provide relief to the victims...... Well, there is a better solution to this matter in the Donglin Party - that is, the emperor wants to accumulate virtue and do good, so that God will naturally not send a catastrophe, in the previous life of Huangshi, the compiler of the Ming history believed that it was due to Wanli's lack of virtue that led to the advent of the catastrophe, and the relief of the disaster after 165o was also explained by the literati group with the character of the emperor of a certain dynasty.

On this issue, Huangshi was a sympathizer and responder to the Wanli Emperor and the eunuchs...... In June of the third year of the Apocalypse, Liu Qingyang and Kuroshima Yasuo set sail in the eyes of Huangshi, and slowly disappeared between the sea and the sky, this ship is not only full of Huangshi's immediate hopes, but also pinned on Huangshi's long-term hopes for navigation technology: "The inheritance of navigation technology and civilization, the race for the expansion of coastal civilization between the East and the West has begun, which will determine the luck of the next three hundred years, and I hope that this time China will not suddenly stop." ”

The traveler can foresee the end of the global catastrophe in twenty years, the world will become favorable to agricultural civilization again, the number of global grain and livestock will continue to rise, more and more areas will be suitable for human cultivation, and the seafaring technology will support Western agriculture to open up North and South America, and the interior of Asia and Europe will also decline to a tribal state in this seventy-year catastrophe, so that it will no longer be able to compete with the coastal areas......

In his original history, the agricultural civilization of Europe was also invaded by Russia and Sweden at this time, the only difference was that the West withstood and China did not, and in the great expansion of agricultural civilization after that, China tended to the inner 6 and abandoned the sea.

Yellowstone has stood by the sea for a long time, and the sun above his head is still not a black flaw, and it has remained so perfect for fifty years: "Whoever masters the present will master the future." ”

In the same month, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan each received rainfall, and the drought in Jiubian Military Town eased.

The drought in Jiangxi lasted until July, and the local officials reported that the grass and trees were withered, and the people had no harvest, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse urgently ordered the transfer of grain for disaster relief, and there was no famine in Jiangxi.

At the end of the same month, since the Houjin army abandoned Nanguan, the Liaodong Ming army drove to the city of Jinzhou, the Houjin defenders closed their doors without fighting, and the Liao people poured into the southern tip of the peninsula in a steady stream, and the Liao people who flocked to Lushun in July reached more than three times that of June, and Lushun was almost unable to evacuate. With Mao Wenlong's approval, a large number of displaced people will be transferred to Changsheng nearby, Lushun sent 300 horses in advance, and Huangshi planted a large number of alfalfa according to Zhangpan's Jianyi, and now the harvest has begun.

Huang Shi ordered the soldiers to be polite to these refugees and make them feel like they were home, and he even suspended military training for a few days to build some temporary residences.

"All the people must drink boiled water, and if there is an existing illness, they must report it immediately, and the Liao people will be given three days of rest when they go to the island, and then they will be organized to build houses. "The Yellowstone Theses and the Territory have repeatedly explained some precautions.

"Yes. Yang Zhiyuan and Bao Jiusun replied in unison.

"Anyone who dares to harass civilians will be subject to strict military law. ”

"Don't worry, sir. Jin Qiude also confidently assured.

When the first batch of refugee ships under the banner of Lushun arrived, Huang Shi also hurried to meet his new people, and he strictly ordered the soldiers in the port to help the old and the young, and to help others for pleasure - in short, to force them to follow Huang Shi's mind of Lei Feng, and now it was time to see the effect.

When he arrived at the port, there was a large circle of soldiers crowded there, and there was a lot of noise, all the gossiping was the sound of helping people carry packages and carry luggage. Huang Shi was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that the effect of propaganda and education is good.

When he got a little closer, it didn't feel right, these soldiers were so noisy and enthusiastic, that they didn't even notice that he, the supreme commander, was coming.

"Your Excellency. Finally, someone let out an exclamation, and immediately hundreds of soldiers exploded, and the chaos was mixed with the sound of bowing: "See your lordship." ”

Huang Shi walked to the side of the crowd and saw that among the first batch of Liao people, most of the more than 100 people were women, and more than a dozen of them were still dressed as girls.

Huang Shi couldn't help but swallow a large mouthful of saliva, and then noticed that most of them were dark-skinned, and after a few more trances, he finally realized that they were basically peasant girls with rough hands and feet.

After secretly scolding himself for not having a taste, Huang Shi took a deep breath, his throat was still a little dry: "This will be Huang Shi, the general of the Dongjiang River." ”

Hundreds of Liao people kowtowed together, they had already heard of Huangshi's name, and the first time they saw this legendary general made them very nervous.

During this time, Huang Shi glanced at the soldiers around him, and his men were either blatantly or cautiously watching, and each one of them had their eyes swirling over the young women.

No wonder there were so many enthusiastic Lei Feng all of a sudden, Huang Shi scolded with a smile in his heart, and then said to those refugees: "Get up." ”

After the refugees stood up, the spicy eyes of those "Lei Feng" who had other plans were still condensed on those women, and they all hung their heads one by one, their faces showed shame and annoyance, and their relatives also stood on the periphery intentionally or unintentionally. These Liao people seemed to be casual, but their postures and movements were a little stiff, revealing their inner vigilance and vigilance.
