Chapter 4 On the Grand Canal

is Liu Guangshi's goods, who have lived in the world of flowers in Tokyo for a long time, and relied on Wen Fei's momentum to live a happy life in Tokyo City. Where do you still want to go back to the bitter northwest frontier to eat sand, and you have to deal with those fierce Tubo and Tangut people who are full of sheep smell every day.

For the tribal leaders of their tribes, who only had cattle and sheep in their tribes, they lived in paradise for a few months in the city of Tokyo. Now it's really boring to go back to that poor and swishing tribe and be the leader of life.

It's like a lot of children who were originally in small cities or rural areas go to college in a bustling and lively big city, and after opening their eyes. There are few people who are willing to return to their hometowns, even if they stay in the city with a little salary, and are trained by the boss at work like dogs, the life of the ant clan is still willing to float outside.

The city of Tokyo is the most prosperous city in the world. At this time, the tribe was far worse than the rural conditions in later generations, and the thought of going back to the tribe and continuing the original days of herding sheep every day, going to bed after dark, and beating his wife every day. The tribal leaders were reluctant. The various entertainment available in Tokyo City can be thousands of times more powerful than that in the tribe, tens of thousands of times......

That is, an otaku like Wen Fei, who has lived in Tokyo City for a few months, but he doesn't like shopping very much, and he doesn't know much about Tokyo City.

But they don't want to, and they have to go back. Seeing that a big battle between the Great Song Dynasty and Tubo is about to start, these Qiang tribes can at least draw out thousands of cavalry, which can be regarded as a big help. Whether it is Zhao Ji or Wen Fei, they have already made a wish. As long as this battle is fought, they will be allowed to be attached. At that time, you can move to Tokyo City and live a heavenly life......

Liu Guangshi, on the other hand, was responsible for contacting these Qiang tribes. After all, all the way. Spending time and drinking together in Tokyo City again, Liu Guangshi's family has established a very strong comradeship with these Qiang people. Note that this comrade means like-minded......

So this time Wen Fei traveled again, although Zhao Ji allocated another 500 men and horses to him, which was the forbidden army of the Infantry Military Division in front of the palace. Well-equipped and looks imposing. But in fact, these are all old soldiers, too far worse than the Western army.

Trudge. The Humvee will not be easy to drive, otherwise it will be repaired with fuel all the way and broken. It's a nuisance. Fortunately, this road is much closer than from Lanzhou to Kaifeng, less than a thousand miles away, and there are canals all the way. You can directly take a boat upstream, and the salt pond in the east of the river is for the dynasties. It can't be overstated.

And a large amount of salt wants to be sold. The food supply for most of northern China could only be transported by ship under the technical conditions of the time. Therefore, the canal leading to Hedong Jiechi is of the highest specification all the way, and it is unimpeded.

In later generations, these places belonged to the less economically developed areas. But in today's Northern Song Dynasty, it is different. The environment in the north has not been completely destroyed, although the economy has been crushed by the south. But there is no such big gap as that of later generations.

On the canal, boats shuttle back and forth. Naturally, it was extremely lively, but when he saw Wen Fei's official boat, he immediately avoided and made way out of the channel.

Zhao Ji was very anxious, after all, Yanchi was related to his money bag, Wen Fei didn't delay much along the way, and he didn't even go in to take a look when he passed Luoyang.

At this time, there was a fishing boat that was not long-eyed, but it went straight to the official boat. The flag planted on the official ship is simply the dragon flag of the Son of Heaven, but it is a flag that can only be used when the Son of Heaven goes out on patrol. It was all awarded by Zhao Ji to Wen Fei to suppress the position, so as not to let the local officials despise Shang's father. If it weren't for the fact that since Song Zhenzong, there would have been no emperor patrolling for almost a hundred years, and the dragon boats would have broken down. Otherwise, Wen Fei really wanted to travel directly on the dragon boat of the Son of Heaven, which would be called majesty.

The building ship in front of the troop carrier is quite huge, with three floors on the ship. From the ground floor to the top floor, each deck is surrounded by a female wall with crossbow windows and arrowholes, and the outer layer is wrapped in felt leather to resist enemy fire. Due to the huge size of the ship, each deck can be equipped with relatively large weapons, such as artillery carts, stones, iron spears and long poles.

It's just that such a big ship is definitely inflexible. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty has not fought a water battle for more than a hundred years, and the age of this warship is at least the level of an old grandfather. Not to mention performance, I saw a fishing boat rowing on a rampage, and I immediately panicked.

Desperately intercepted, don't let this fishing boat that doesn't know whether it is alive or dead startle Shang's father's car. It's just that the age of this ship is at least seventy or eighty years old, and even the sailors on board don't know that they have never fought in their lives. encountered this unexpected situation, and immediately rushed, and before the building boat could react, the fishing boat approached the dragon boat that Wen Fei was riding.

The fisherman on the boat, wearing a hat on top of his head, couldn't see clearly, and then suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "But the Taoist sect leader is on this boat?"

Wen Fei was discussing with Chen Niwan how to deal with the water monster Jiaolong in the solution pool, when he heard a loud scream, as if there was a sound of gold and stone, directly penetrating the barrier of the heavy deck, and entering the eardrums of several people, everyone's face couldn't help but change slightly.

You must know that this official ship is huge, but it is slightly smaller than the ship, and there is no problem for a few hundred people to live casually. And this man shouted loudly, and it reached everyone's ears peacefully, and he was naturally full of anger.

This is not the most important thing, Wen Fei has three positions: the father, the protector of the country, and the Taoist leader. And this person is directly called the Taoist leader, which shows that this person must be a person inside Taoism.

Although Taoism is not as prominent as Buddhism, it is very superior. Although Wen Fei is now the leader of Taoism, he was sealed by the emperor, and he is not too much of a buyer in the Taoist sect. Back then, Du Guangting Heavenly Master, although he was also named the Taoist leader, was only limited to Shuzhong. Second, Du Tianshi is much stronger than Wen Fei.

Therefore, hearing this cry, Wen Fei's first reaction was that there were masters who were not convinced that he was the leader of Taoism, and came to find fault.

As if facing a great enemy on the ship, many soldiers appeared on the deck, and aimed their bows and arrows at the fisherman. It's just that when I saw him shouting, he wanted to find Wen Fei, but he couldn't do it for a while.

Wen Fei had the support of Lin Lingsu, Chen Niwan and Wang Wenqing, so he dared to come out. Wen Fei was short of energy, and he was exposed when he shouted. Lin Lingsu did the work for him and shouted, "Who are you, what are you looking for my family leader?"
