White Waves Sweeping Sand 1
In particular, Yang Guang personally conquered Goryeo for the first time, and ordered the navy to go to sea from Laizhou on the Wuya warship and enter Liaodong to meet the army.
At that time, the warships were connected from end to end for hundreds of miles, and the grand occasion of the division was unprecedented.
But for more than 30 years, Xiao Liang has long been proficient in the Wuya warship.
When Pharmacist Li was in Kipju, in view of Xu Shao's war situation, he was inspired to think newly.
He suggested to Li Xiaogong that a special forces unit capable of performing special tasks should be formed.
Older warships could hardly support the new thinking of the special forces, and now they had to find a new way to build ships with innovative concepts.
This shipbuilding topic has been touched on the day of the first meeting of the three Lis; When he presented the "Ten Strategies" to Li Shimin, he discussed it again.
When Yang Su built the five-tooth warship, his sons, including Yang Xuanqing, were all by his side.
Yang Xuanqing was the same year as Pharmacist Li, and he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at that time.
Although he can't go deep into the essence of shipbuilding, he is quite familiar with master craftsmen, especially their children.
More than a year ago, King Li Yaowang passed away, and when Li Yaoshi went to Kunming Chi for funeral, he talked with Yang Xuanqing about ship-building craftsmen and other things.
Yang Xuanqing told him that the most impressive shipbuilder he was was Mr. Lu.
This man knows both design and build.
Mr. Lu's children were his teenage playmates, and after Yang Su's family moved back to Chang'an, the Lu family stayed in Shinshu, and heard that they were still engaged in shipbuilding, but only built fishing boats, not warships.
However, after 30 years of chaos, I don't know if I can find his home again.
Later, Pharmacist Li and Yang Xuanqing inquired in many ways and learned that there was a shipbuilder Lu Zesheng in Badong.
He is the son of Mr. Lu and one of Yang Xuanqing's most intimate playmates when he was a teenager.
Pharmacist Li and Chuchen came to the riverside on this day, looking for Lu Zesheng.
There are not many shipbuilders along the riverside, and the two of them asked along the house, but they also found Lu Zesheng's residence.
When he came to his house, no one answered the door.
Although you can see the water behind the small courtyard, it is inconvenient to enter without permission, but you can only watch from a distance.
However, when I saw a few fishing boats moored on the shore, I could not see that there was any difference between them and those made by other craftsmen.
However, when they consulted the neighbors, everyone praised Lu's fishing boats for their wonderful construction.
However, they all said in unison that Lu Zesheng had a strange temperament, and if he didn't have the same interests, he would easily refuse to build a ship for others.
Pharmacist Li and Chuchen searched for this time, although they failed to meet Lu Zesheng, it was not worth the trip.
Because the seventh policy of the "Ten Strategies" is to make good use of the topography, although I was familiar with geography before coming to Shinshu, I still had to investigate on the spot after I arrived.
The first place to investigate is the "Eight Arrays" of Yufupu.
Zhuge Kongming's "Eight Arrays", which is widely known to future generations, is the "Water Eight Arrays", and there are also "Eight Dry Arrays", which is also the place where Wuhou trained the water division battle array.
And these two places are not far from Lu Zesheng's residence.
The first gorge of the Three Gorges, Qutang Gorge, is in Xinzhou, the entrance of the west end of the upper reaches of this gorge is only 100 feet wide, extremely dangerous, the world is called "Kuimen", known as "Kuimen is the world's strongest", "Kuimen is strong in the world" reputation.
There is Baiyan Mountain in the south of Kuimen, there is Chijia Mountain in the north, stand side by side oppositely, the shape is like a knife and axe splitting, it is absolutely magnificent.
More than 100 years later, Du Fubu lived here, and in his poem "Ten Quatrains of Kuizhou Song", he also sang about the two red and white mountains:
The red armor and white salt are piercing the sky
Lu Yan Yu around the top of the mountain
Maple grove orange tree danqinghe
The complex road is heavy and the building is splendid and hanging
Immediately upstream of Kuimen, there is a west water flowing into the river from the north.
Xiyangshui is today's Meixi River, and the riverbed moraine dam of Shuikou is connected with the mountain of Chijia Mountain behind Yufupu, and the former site of the "Water Eight Arrays" is here.
Fan Cheng of the Song Dynasty has a large number of fish and a boat. Looking at the moon over Chijia Mountain. The poem "Yamagata is broken like a dragon", describing the majestic atmosphere here:
The moonrise red armor is like a golden basin. The squatting dragon spat and swallowed
The long wind is mighty and mighty. The shadow falls and the river sinks and turns
The sky is high and the night is quiet, and the mountains are silent. Only the sound of the beach is noisy at the water gate
The poet of Gao Zhai shall not be made. I don't sleep all night long
Li Yaoshi and Chuchen came here, but saw that the Shuikou moraine dam was all covered by pebbles and gravel, the terrain was firm, flat and open, more than 400 zhang long, about 150 zhang wide.
Nine months of the year are exposed, except for three months in the summer.
Pharmacist Li couldn't help but admire: "Great Wuhou! Gallop and kill, drill and arrange, in this gorge and river area, it is really hard to find here! ”
The two rode their horses into the moraine dam, but they saw that there was a while, and the week was 418 zhang, which was the "water eight arrays", and the stone class was still vaguely restored.
Pharmacist Li's "Eight Array Diagrams" were inherited from his master Xuan Zhongzi, and his uncle Han Baohu gave him experience in the battle; Out of the dust is obtained by self-study of books.
Therefore, Chuchen's knowledge is not as deep as that of Pharmacist Li, but she often has whims and can stimulate her thinking.
Now the couple is planning and discussing how to make good use of the terrain to train the sailor.
About 30 miles to the northeast of the "Water Eight Arrays", there is the Shima River that flows into the Eastern Han River, and the Eastern Han River is today's Caotang River.
The Shima estuary is not wider than the West Estuary, but it is still shallow in summer.
Wuhou moved the stone here that year and made the "Eight Dry Arrays".
Although it is not complete now, it is not difficult to recover.
In summer, when the "Eight Water Formations" are annihilated, they can train here.
The place where the Eastern Han River joins the river is the White Emperor City.
The original name here was Ziyang City, and the last years of Xinmang were based on Gongsun Shu.
There is often a white mist rising in a local well, which resembles a white dragon.
So Gongsun Shu called himself the White Emperor, built the capital here, and changed its name to the White Emperor City.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei attacked Wu, defeated Yiling, retreated to the White Emperor City, became ill with grief, and entrusted Zhuge Liang in the Yong'an Palace on his deathbed.
The White Emperor City is the best location to enjoy the majestic scenery of Qutang.
Lu You in the Song Dynasty has a poem "Into the White Emperor Temple of the Tang Dynasty":
Two Mountains vs. Cui Wei. It's overwhelming
Cliff looking up in the sky. You can't get on it
At this time, the sun has been slanted to the west, and the husband and wife climbed high and overlooked, and the magnificent Kuimen was in full view.
In the midst of admiration, there is a gentle breeze and a strange fragrance.
The two rode their horses to find it, and it turned out that the fragrance came from the small white flowers on the trees in the forest.
Pharmacist Li carefully examined the branches and leaves, but saw that the tree was not tall, the branches reappeared, the leaves were thick green, smooth and bright as leather, and he thought of Qu Yuan's "Ode to Orange" for a while:
Green leaf Surong. It's gratifying
Zeng Zhi Thorn. The round fruit is rubbing
At the moment, he said: "There is a saying in the Hejaz: 'Shu Han Jiangling Thousand Trees Orange.'" Could it be that this is an orange? ”
Here "Hejaz" refers to the Hanshu. Food & Goods.
Li Yaosheng was born in the Northland and had never seen an orange tree.
Although she was born in the Southern Dynasty, when she was only three or four years old, Chen was defeated, and she was bound by the Sui army to go north, and she never returned to the south again.
At this time, although I felt that the fragrance of this little white flower was vaguely familiar, I had no impression of the orange tree.
Hearing her husband mention orange trees, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed at Cao Zijian's "Planting Orange Fu":
There is a rare tree of vermilion oranges. In the land of quail fire
The Fierce Spirit of the Sun. The rest of Jiagao Day
The natural elements of the body. Do not migrate to the special side
