Chapter 389: Set Sail
Not to mention that the situation in the Great Song Dynasty was chaotic, and the imperial court was soliciting everywhere! However, it was said that Wang Jin led the team to the sea, and the fleet rode the wind and waves along the opened route. Dozens of thousand-class seagoing vessels sail at high speed in a cone array with minimal resistance.
The Beihai Sea, also known as the Bohai Sea, is the northernmost offshore sea in China, and it is also an inland sea surrounded by land on the north, west and south, and it also belongs to the category of internal waters.
According to historical records, the prototype of the Bohai Sea has been formed in the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Warring States Period, Su Qin once said: There is Bohai in the north of Qi. Tian Ken, a native of the Western Han Dynasty, once said: Qixi has the limit of the turbid river, and the north has the benefit of Bohai. The Bohai Sea is also known as the "Shaohai", and it is recorded: Qijing Gong swam in the Shaohai Sea. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the city of Weifang on the south bank of the Bohai Sea was established in the Han Dynasty. The famous historical figure Kong Rong is a native of Beihai.
Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty and other periods are mostly called Beihai, such as the Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian has a poem "I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai, send geese to pass the book thank you can't", this poem was written in Dezhou, Shandong, Beihai is today's Bohai Bay. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the name "Bohai" has been used to this day.
Although the Bohai Sea is only an inland sea, it has a unique scenery of the ocean. The blue water, the blue sky, and a few white clouds drifted by. The surrounding water is connected to the sky, the sky is connected to the water, the water and the sky are connected, and there is no boundless. Flocks of seabirds fly around the flotilla, and fish leap out of the water.
The fleet sails eastward like chasing the sun!
When the sun rises, the red sun is as big as a millstone, and the sea is foggy, and at sunset, the remnant sun is like blood, and the sea shines brightly.
Whenever this happens, Wang Jin will accompany his wife out of the cabin, watch the sunrise and sunset, look at the clouds, and enjoy the tide
The ebb and flow, the waves roll over......
However, sailing, especially ocean voyages, is prone to boredom when you stay in bed for a long time. No matter how strange the seabirds are, no matter how big the fish are, no matter how good the scenery of the sea is, once the freshness passes, you will get bored if you see too much.
Wang Jin's energy is limited, and it is impossible to accompany his wife in the room all day long. Therefore, they often find excuses to tour the ship or go to the deck to catch fish with fishing gear, or dance with guns and sticks, or play with musical instruments and sing......
In short, tired during the day and even more tired at night! Every day is like a full schedule, but it doesn't feel boring. Only the man is more and more melancholy, and the lady is so fierce.
The Bohai Sea, with an average depth of 18 meters, is also an inland sea, and the probability of storms is extremely small. But as the saying goes, there is no wind and three feet of waves, and there are huge waves in the water. How much more is the sea as far as the eye can see? Layers of huge waves are endless.
When a small boat sails into the deep sea, it is definitely dangerous!
And Liangshan is a big ship, and the giant ship is at the forefront of the wind and waves to open the way. No matter how strong the wind and waves on the sea are, they can't shake the fleet in the slightest.
Traveling day and night along the route, the fleet traveled for five or six days and was about to reach its destination.
According to the speed of the fleet, it will arrive in about four days.
However, there were many people who went to sea this time, and many of them were seasick and vomited, and those with poor physical fitness even suffered from diseases. The speed of the fleet has slowed down. When passing through the island, Wang Jin sent people to the island to collect edible wild vegetables to supplement the patient's vitamins, and the ship was equipped with a military doctor. Most of the people had a cold and flu, and they were not adapted to the water and soil, so they received timely treatment and recovered quickly.
In addition, the fleet was unlucky, and encountered a rare storm on the way. Despite being small and medium-sized, it is still terrifying.
The two ships were pulled out by the waves more than ten miles away, but a few of them had too late to lower their sails and their old masts were broken, and the only thing that was fortunate was that there were no casualties.
After a storm, it is often accompanied by a harvest!
This was the experience of the old sailors, and the fleet began fishing again. While gathering the boats, the largest fishing net was cast and dragged all the way, and the fish that were stunned by the waves fell into the net along the way.
It's hard to imagine that kind of picture without experiencing it yourself!
Not to mention the people who went to sea with apprehension, even a well-informed later generation like Wang Jin sighed at the picture of dozens of people dragging fishing nets. The danger is directly proportional to the harvest, and in ancient times there were many fish in the sea.
Heavy nets were dragged to the deck, and the sinking of the ship could be clearly felt. In addition to the most common barracuda, sea bass, yellow croaker. There are many types of seafood, such as large lobsters with long arms and crabs with teeth and claws. There are even a lot of deep-sea hairtail fish that are several meters long and have a flat body.
If it weren't for the fact that the fish was exhausted by the storm, it would not have been able to be caught under normal circumstances. Even if they can catch it, most of the nets can't withstand it. The mountains of all kinds of sea fish made the people on each boat cheer.
These days, anyone is enjoying the seafood with their bellies open. Eating the food that only the official master could eat, the people slowly recovered from their apprehension, and then became excited, full of anticipation for arriving on the island to open up the wasteland.
Pure natural pollution-free, delicious and juicy seafood.
It is the favorite of Shang Guihua, Hu Sanniang, Li Qingzhao, and Master Li. And they like to cook with their men the most.
It is for these two reasons that the fleet arrived at its destination
The ground came a little later than expected.
……
Early mid-June! The fleet sails as always!
At noon, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless. People stepped out of the cabin to breathe. Many fishermen come from fishing gear on the deck......
"One person later crossed the south of the Yangtze River, and the smoke and rain were melancholy
I heard the canopy swaying the oars, but I didn't know what to think
The drums of the painting boat are sung, and a few songs break people's intestines
Whoever has plum on the wall, self-fragrance
A firework in the world, you have bloomed
Engrave a few people in their hearts, and live alone from then on
The Jiangnan flowers have withered, how can we think about it again
There are not many good days, and no one seems to say it
You hold a paper umbrella and look back, the thousand-year-old Wuyi Lane
Ask Jun Qingsi how many zhang there is, and he can measure the wind and moon
Whoever says that a glass of wine is drunk in a foreign country, the red dust can be forgotten
Count the lonely sails by the column, and the two lines of tears
A firework in the world, you have bloomed
Engrave a few people in their hearts, and live alone from then on
The Jiangnan flowers have withered, how can we think about it again
There are not many good days, and no one seems to say it
……”
On the flagship, on the deck of a 20,000-material magnolia boat,
Li Qingzhao played music on the piano, Wang Jin sang in duet with Master Li, the man's voice was low and powerful, and the woman's voice was graceful and listening. Shang Guihua, Hu Sanniang carried a steel knife on her back, leaning on the side of the boat and clapping her hands. Looking at Wang Jin's eyes were full of tenderness, but looking at Li Qingzhao and Master Li, he was both envious and dissatisfied.
The strange but beautiful melody fluttered so that the heavily armed guards, the shirtless sailors, or the common people listened with bated breath, huddled on the side of the ship in order to hear it more clearly.
For a few days, Wang Jin and his wife had nothing to do on the boat, fiddling with musical instruments and teaching them songs for the next generation. Shang Guihua and Hu Sanniang are two women who like violence, so don't mention it. Fortunately, the talented girls Li Qingzhao and Li Shishiyi
I learned how to practice on the boat every day, and the melodious singing sounded.
When he was about to reach his destination, Wang Jin sang loudly at the invitation of his wife. Fireworks in the world, a song that was very popular before he crossed over. The tune is different from this era, and the male and female duets are sung, but they are good and popular.
After the end of the song!
"Okay, good to hear...... everyone shouted and cheered for Wang Jin. Except for the Liangshan Field Army and sailors, these people who went overseas to open up wasteland have a characteristic, they are no longer the original yellow-skinned appearance.
For a few days, the delicious seafood is eaten with an open belly, and the food tube is full. Lacking exercise again, men, women and children of all ages have ruddy complexions and have gained weight. And they are gradually getting used to the sea, and they are looking forward to the future.
"Hahaha, it's here, we're here, everyone."
The ship's sailors climbed the mast to look around, pointing ahead and shouting downward.
The people on the boat looked around, and saw from a distance that a black line on the horizon was getting closer and bigger, until it became clear that it was a huge island. People were excited, some cheered, and some ran to tell each other.
