Chapter 622: Gathering of Men and Horses, Temporary Changes
Fortunately, the situation was just as Gao Jingfei had speculated, when the Feiyun ship docked at the dock of Luokou Town in the north of Quancheng, there were already government personnel waiting here.
It seems that in this matter, the internal efficiency of the national government is still very high.
Gao Jingfei and other traversers also saw the prosperity of the ancient land and water wharves again.
In addition to being smaller, the number of business and trade travelers here is much busier than that of Hankou Town, which is the thoroughfare of nine provinces.
After all, here is one of the most important land and water wharves in Lu Province, especially the history is very long, stretching for two thousand years, it is the place where the ancient water flows into the water, as early as the Han Dynasty Luokou is an important wharf along the Jishui River, after the Song Dynasty, the Daqing River seized the Jishui River, which made Luokou become an important wharf on the Daqing River.
And to the Ming Dynasty, this place became more and more prosperous, when Quancheng, Tai'an, Dongchang, Yanzhou, Yizhou, Caozhou and other places used in salt are all transferred by Luokou, here is the main distribution center of Qilu wood, medicinal materials, fur and other goods. At that time, Luokou became a regional commercial town in the Northland, with wealthy merchants gathering, restaurants and restaurants full of markets, buildings and boats coming and going, and it was very lively.
It was not until 1855 that the bad-tempered Yellow River was diverted to the sea again, and Luokou was transformed from a regional land and water transshipment terminal to the most important shipping port along the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
It is important to know that the Yellow River shipping can directly enter the sea, radiate to the countries and regions of Northeast Asia, and reach Lunan, Henan Province, Jin Province and other places, and can also reach the northwest frontier and foreign countries, which was once the most important transportation channel in the north of China and Turkey.
Luokou Town is also lined with shops because of the diversion of the Yellow River, and the market trade is prosperous, so prosperous that it is called "Xiaoquan City" by merchants who come and go, and can be called the giant town of the Yellow River.
It was not until later generations that the country established the Yellow River Quancheng Highway Bridge and the Luokou pontoon bridge opened to traffic, and then due to the change of water conditions and river channels, to 1985, the port wharf was thus reduced, so that the prosperity of Luokou Wharf became history, although it is a pity, but this is also the necessary process of human civilization progress.
Because of the news brought back by Secretary Zhang, the Feiyun ship stayed in Luokou Town for one night, and on the second day, Gao Jingfei and others met two teams of men and horses from the Wudang faction and the Maoshan faction from afar, as well as a battalion of troops secretly formed by the Nationalist Government.
The two factions are still led by two Yin God real people. 1
These people came to Quancheng to meet with the government after receiving news from the government, and they came from Hankou to the north by ship, and the original plan was to meet Gao Jingfei and others at Tongzhou or Jinmen, and then enter the customs by land with the large army through Shanhaiguan.
But after receiving Secretary Zhang's report, the above temporarily decided to let the team go to sea on Gao Jingfei's ship.
After introducing the main characters on both sides, Secretary Zhang explained to Gao Jingfei:
"Because there are too many old and young people in Houjin in Beiping, the government feels that if it transfers troops in the north, I am afraid that the news will not be leaked, so this independent battalion secretly formed this time is all drawn from the south, and it is the elite of the Huguang army that is urgently transferred, and the number is tentatively designated as the odd battalion, with a total of 500 people."
"After the Qibing Battalion met the Wudang Daoists in Hankou, he went north along the canal to Danyang to pick up the Maoshan Daoists, and it happened that my report arrived in Beiping, which mentioned that the last time I asked Gao Zhangmen about the situation of the Feiyun ship, and learned that the Feiyun Ship could fully accommodate five hundred people to travel away, the above temporarily decided to invite two real people and the Qibing Battalion to get on the ship and go to sea together, which can give full play to the advantages of the strange soldiers, and it is also difficult to be detected by enemy spies!"
When Secretary Zhang got off the boat in Hankou and took the train to Zheng County, he asked Gao Jingfei about the situation of the Feiyun ship, and Gao Jingfei answered in person, and learned that the Feiyun ship could fit more than 500 people, so he was extremely impressed by this magic weapon spirit ship.
In fact, Gao Jingfei is still more modest, you must know that the Feiyun ship was built for war in ancient times, and it could load hundreds of soldiers to fight in the Soochow period, not to mention that after becoming a magic weapon spirit ship, it can also expand the space with mana, and with Gao Jingfei's mana, it is not a problem to expand to the size of the aircraft carrier, not to mention hundreds of people, even thousands can be loaded.
Most of the traversers were veteran officers with high military literacy, and after listening to Secretary Zhang's words, they immediately understood the plans of the Nationalist Government.
Ruan Bingyang couldn't help clapping his hands and admired:
"Wonderful! With such a plan, even if the enemy knows about our existence, it is difficult to know our exact information, and even where we will land in Liaodong cannot be determined, after all, thousands of miles along the coast of Liaodong, including the immediate direction of Goryeo, may be the location of our landing! ”
The commander of this cavalry battalion, Battalion Commander Liu, found that these Taiyi Mixed Yuan Sect protectors had the same kind of temperament, and he couldn't help but feel good.
So he also said:
"That's right, for the sake of the party-state, even if the brothers are wronged, it doesn't matter, but we have a lot of equipment this time, I don't know if Master Gao and you can move some place for these? I'll lead by example, and I'll just squeeze in with the brothers......"
Hearing this say, the traversers also had some good feelings, after all, this kind of responsible military style is still rare in the national government of this era.
Gao Jingfei then smiled:
"Battalion Commander Liu is polite, since you are allowed to get on the boat, it is natural to make proper arrangements so that you can live in a stable place, as for the equipment in the battalion, although Gao said that he can't have the great power of moving mountains and reclamation like the Gu Immortals, some grain and grass equipment can still be loaded."
Pointing to the dozens of horse-drawn carriages covered with tartarum cloth and looking full of piles behind them, he asked:
"Is that the equipment from the Strange Barracks?"
Seeing Battalion Commander Liu nodding, Gao Jingfei waved his hand and released a golden light, and those carriages suddenly disappeared into the light with the carriages and horses.
As he got deeper and deeper in the Fairy Forest, the pure yang country, he could do more, and with the Fairy Forest, a mystical world that was larger than Jiangnan Province, not to mention these dozens of carriages, it was more than enough to accommodate an army of 100,000.
This hand immediately suppressed the officers and soldiers of the Qi Barracks present, as well as the Taoist priests of the two factions.
The strange barracks are better, they are all ordinary people, they just feel that this immortal method is really extraordinary, and there are such immortal characters on their side of the mission, it is difficult to defeat the battle, and the morale has risen greatly for a while.
And the two factions of Maoshan and Wudang were really shocked. Not to mention the supernatural mana in his sleeve, it is the golden light of Fang Cai, if the two Yin Gods are not mistaken, it is a means only available to pure Yang mana!
Before they came, they had also heard of the name of Gao Jingfei and his Taiyi Mixed Yuan faction, and the legend of the living immortals had spread throughout the lake with the waterway wharf of Hankou during this period of time, and then spread like the whole country, but the various factions in Middle-earth only thought that at most they were the Yin God and the like.
After meeting, although they couldn't see through each other's cultivation, the two Yin Gods were also sure that the other party did not exceed the Yin God level, and their youth was excessive, so they were somewhat contemptuous.
Just seeing Fang Cai's scene, the two real people were immediately stunned.
Maoshan led the Yin God Qi Mingshan and couldn't help but ask:
"Master Gao, what is this?"
Gao Jingfei smiled modestly and said:
"It's just a little bit of Yang God tricks relying on foreign objects, and it's still not worth mentioning if you don't become a true immortal!"
These words are somewhat Versailles, and Wudang's leader Yin God Yue Jun said enviously:
"Master Gao is really a good skill, even if my generation relies on external objects, I am afraid it will be difficult to use the Yang God Method, unless I can hold a pure Yang magic weapon......"
