Chapter 222: The Big Men of the Central Plains
In the sixty-seventh year of Emperor Tao Tang, the summer solstice!
In the churning water of the river, warships from the Central Plains appeared.
Dongyi Baiyue assembled first, and after the Central Plains made all-round deployments, he sent a large army to arrive, and before that, Emperor Rangqi went to the three Kunlun departments in the west, of course, it was not these people who were not as good as farting when they spoke.
The old tribes of the Yellow Emperor, the tribes of the Great Rong Plain, promised to send troops, but they only went to the other side of Dongting Lake and blocked Sanmiao from counterattacking Danyuan from the rear by the river, and did not participate in the pursuit battle.
The cattle and horses were bustling, the old subordinates of the Yellow Emperor were gearing up, among them there were old people, there were wizards, those who were very old and very old, they seemed to be a little excited, they seemed to see, re-see, the wars that followed the Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu in the past.
These old wizards have been exposed to it since they were children, listening to the glorious wars told by the old people of the previous generation, the last two generations.
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Chi You, that was the largest and most terrifying three forces in the world at that time, the Yan Emperor declined and the Yellow Emperor replaced him, and he competed with Chi You for the common lord of the world.
How terrible was the prestige of the Yellow Emperor at that time?
It was so terrible that most of the world at that time, the scale of the Zhenmeng clan, which was one of the top tenth, knew that his princess had stolen the Yellow Emperor Xuanzhu, and fled to the north overnight!
The so-called Megatron is added to the four seas, nothing more than this!
Of course, having said that, the reason why the Central Plains arrived so late had something to do with their poor shipbuilding technology, so it took delivery time to buy products, and even if they hired the soldiers of the Nail Spirit Country, it was not necessarily much faster than ordinary tribes.
Fortunately, this is just a crossing of the river, not a voyage, otherwise these warships would not have capsized.
The shipbuilding technology of the ancient Central Plains, it is difficult to describe, as for the reason is exactly as Emperor Fangxun said, the Central Plains has been a continental civilization since ancient times, referring to the civilization developed by agriculture as the main means of economic development, geographically, most of the original land is in the non-coastal area, born in the Great River Basin, the Central Plains of China, Egypt, Babylon, etc. are all this urine ....
Therefore, the Central Plains and Dongyi, and even the coastal civilization of Baiyue, are not of the same nature at all, so the glory of civilization, handicrafts, weaving, copper smelting, construction, etc., may be Baiyue They have some gaps with the Central Plains, but when it comes to shipbuilding....
Zhongyuan is at least three ranks behind Baiyue, which is equivalent to the difference between bronze players and platinum players.
After all, there is no courier company in the Shanhai era, besides, no one dares to take this courier list, although there is no robber, but there is a huge herd of strange beasts that rob lives......
Don't want money, just life, it's very difficult to do....
On the warship of the Central Plains, there stood a child of about twelve years old, his gray face looked a little dirty, and his body stood straight, watching the flow of the river closely.
At his age, it seemed too early to be called a teenager.
The prosperity of the past summer is also, melt down the mountain!
There is Chongshi!
"The south is coming soon, on the other side of the river, down the river, and finding Jindu in Xunshan, it is not far ....."
Although the river is wide, it is a river navigation after all, and although the navigation technology of the Central Plains is not very good, there is still a minimum sense of direction, which is the basic operation.
The scale of the Central Plains, in the primitive society, the rapid development of inland waterway shipping, is in the era of Dayu's water control.
When Yu controls the flood, guide the mountain and guide the water, carry the car on land, carry the boat on the water, through the dredging and management of the river, weave a water conservancy transportation network with the ship, take the Yellow River as the backbone, the so-called "floating in Huai, Si, up to the river", "along the river, the sea, up to the Huai, Si", "floating in the river, Tuo, dive, Han, more than Luo, as for the South River"......
Dayu water control is not only to survey the terrain in the direction of the water vein, and then according to local conditions for dredging, at the same time, but also the Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River, Surabaya and so on all connected.
The young man asked the shipwreck beside him, "Is the south really barbaric?"
"yes, it's really wild. ”
"It can't be compared with the Central Plains!"
The warriors of the Chong clan laughed, they are a big tribe living in the Central Plains, and this time they were also ordered to go to the south, precisely because to prevent Sanmiao from doing anything to the water veins, so they need a tribe that can control the water to come and take precautions.
It is natural to have Chong's family.
Of course, the main reason is the prevarication of co-workers.
Gonggong thinks that sending Gonggong's people to the south is simply a big fuss, what kind of ability does Sanmiao have, and it is also worth Gonggong's help?
"I think that the problem of controlling the big river is more necessary now, last year's water control was slightly effective, Chong Bo Kun said that he used a new method, but in fact he still made some changes in my method, in the final analysis, the foundation of water control is still in the Gonggong clan...."
"Last year, 'lewdness' never appeared, this is a good thing, the flood did not come, and the world rejoiced together, so it was only a little effective, and the Gonggong clan was dispatched to the south, which was inevitably overkill..... Since the time of the Three Emperors of ancient times, since the time of Fuxi, to the beginning of Shennong's time, the ability to control water for thousands of years, no one knows how to control water better than me.... So, it's not that I look down on Sanmiao....."
"It's not like I look down on him....."
This is the original words of Gonggong to the emperor.
The big tribes sent out by the Central Plains this time, in addition to the Chong clan, there are several.
Yunyi, Huan, Dahuai, Xuyun, Kushe.....
Of course, the most powerful....
The young man turned his head sideways to look at a "big ship" in the center, surrounded by many warships.
This is bought from Dongyi at a high price in the Central Plains, and I heard that it was built by the Great People's Kingdom, but because for adults, this ship is an inferior product, so it is sold at a low price, but for ordinary human races, this ship is already strong and terrifying.....
The Great Nation wanted to use this ship to test ocean voyages, of course, for them, it was a small boat of twenty people, but it failed several times.....
The general of the Central Plains, one of the eight heroes of the Gaoyang clan, Cangshu!
Among this group of people, there is no so-called person sent by the emperor to investigate.
Because Uncle Xi has not received a reply yet, and this kind of thing, it is naturally impossible for the Gao Yang clan to know, the emperor and Fang Qi covered this matter very tightly, and the four emperor clans did not know, so Cang Shu, who was the general of Gao Yang, appeared here, and it was naturally impossible for Uncle Xi to come over.
And beside Cang Shu, there are two big people, one is in charge of the hand, and the other is holding the piano, that is, "Huandou" [ ] and "Yan Long"!
The young man took a deep breath.
He looked back again, to the south, and suddenly, a black dot appeared in his eye.
There were Chong's warriors, and some people began to stop, and they stared at the black spot, and their eyes changed from happiness to surprise, and finally to shock.
"That's... Tsudu?"
An extremely huge, prosperous dock with thousands of warships docked, just like a huge thing, quickly filled their field of vision.
And on that pier, a huge wooden machine, is particularly eye-catching!
The young man looked at the south in a daze, and someone was calling him.
"Wen Ming, come here, we're going to get ready to dock!"
The person who called him over was Shui Zheng of the Chong clan, and he stared at the huge pier in the south, and at this time, the young man asked puzzledly.
"Didn't you say that the south is a wild land?"
Shui Zheng opened his mouth, speechless.
"Perhaps... It's just for the Central Plains to see, I don't want to lose face..."
