Chapter 352 [The son of the tomb robber]
If you don't get on the boat, you won't know how weak the old Qin people were. In addition to the specially allocated by Ying Quliang, there were still some trained sailors, and half of the two large wings supported by the front and back were water ducks. The fleet was merged into the Wei River, and before they reached Yin Jin, these people were already spitting out of thin air, and the higher their martial arts skills, the more fierce they vomited. Sang Wazi and fleas even showed their master's style. They could spray out more than one meter away with their mouths. There were more yellow and white objects out of thin air on the water surface, and the air was filled with thick gastric acid.
It is no wonder that the only time Lao Qin used a large number of boats in history was the "Railing Battle" to provide relief to Jin State, but those used were civilian ships full of food. When did the inland countries like Lao Qin establish naval troops? Not to mention Lao Qin, even a powerful country like Wei State also used its national strength to build Wei Wushu. When did he hear that Pang Juan was going to be the governor of the navy?
After Wu and Yue battle for hegemony, even coastal countries like Qi and Yue have almost stopped building naval forces; the Central Plains battle for hegemony has always relied on land troops, and there are several fleets for the monarch to go to the sea to see the sunrise, and just imagine the legendary sacred mountain. Who would spend a lot of effort to build a navy? There is a serious lack of water talents...
Bai Dong felt that he was thinking too simply. Even if the Yue Numen and Doctor Gui Wei and others received their letters, they began to select the water army. With the current national strength of Yue, it would take some time to become successful. The key is that they lacked generals on the water. Liang Shanbo's Song Gongming also has the Ruan brothers and Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, what do you have? The gray-haired son and the old man are very serious and persistent, but their water skills are still a bit insufficient. In the future, they will have to transport Japanese "monkeys" from sea to sea for a long time. It will not be possible without a reliable person.
Searching for the dead-end memories of historical figures. But after thinking about it, I can't think of any talented people on water in this era. Bai Dong was really distressed. Even with the measurement method of latitude and longitude, the charts he had drawn and designed sea boats were not enough... Zi and the old man had the same obsession as Columbus, but they did not have the crazy Spanish sailors. Could it be that the sea could only train them?
"Husband, I've calculated it!"
The flea jumped to Bai Dong, his slightly red face full of pride.
I got used to it while vomiting. These days she gradually became familiar with the bumps on the water. She had evolved from vomiting for more than ten a day to vomiting every day. It was so good that she finally had time to learn the meridian dimension measurement method proposed by her husband. She just stuck out her butt to measure the shadow of the wooden ruler, combined with the time scale given by the mercury seed, and calculated for a long time according to the calculation formula. With her kung fu foundation, she actually squatted her butt sore, and then she barely got an answer. Hum, it was so awesome that my sister Bijiu and Sister Ying Shu looked at it clearly. I was no worse than others when I was serious!
The first thing to learn how to measure longitude and longitude was bitter wine. When I bid farewell to everyone, bitter wine showed off many times in front of fleas and Ying Shu. Will Ying Shu be afraid of this? Although she is a little straightforward and free and easy, she also has a bad little hobby. After all, she was a noble family. She had received Zhou-style prenatal education in Li Jiang's belly. After holding it in for a long time, she mastered this kind of measurement method that junior high school students could quickly master in later generations.
But God is fair. It would be different if it were Sang Wazi and Fleas. The two great masters could not find such a complicated arithmetic problems at all. After pulling Wuzhuan for advice several times, they still couldn't do it. Sang Wazi gave up in anger. I was either in Baijiazhuang or in the academy. At most, I just walked around with Ping Anlang. What to do with such useless things? Fleas were angry. These days, they squatted there with their butt sticking out every day to calculate. Bai Dong always felt that her butt was bigger, like a ripe big peach...
Listening to the fleas excitedly reporting a string of numbers, Bai Dong sighed slightly, but he was still wrong. He just couldn't bear to hit her, so he nodded and smiled, "My fleas are so smart, right!"
"Is it true?" The flea cheered and was about to jump into his husband's arms to act coquettishly. Suddenly, there was a loud bang in front of him, and someone on the boat shouted: "No! I'm afraid the big wing in front hit the underwater reef!"
Underwater reef? This is just the Wei River, not the sea. The boat is driving in the center of the waterway. Where can the reef come from? Bai Dong hugged the flea's slender waist and said, "Let's go and have a look."
This section of the river is just between Mianchi and Wusui. This month is still the territory of Wei State, and it may return to South Korea next month. It is a typical three-no matter area. Moreover, the waterway is quite narrow. The Xihuang, where Bai Dong and Ying Shu are located, can only drive in the center of the river, and it may be stranded if it deviates slightly. At this moment, the big wing that opened the way for Xihuang had stopped at the heart of the river. Standing on the three-story tower of Xihuang, I saw an iron cable faintly crossing in front of the big wing, and countless camouflaged water plants were wrapped around the cable. Just as the mist appeared in this section of the river. If the hull had not hit the iron cable, I would have not been able to find it.
"There are water thieves here?"
Bai Dong secretly said strangely. Wei did not pay attention to the construction of the navy, and now he is using troops to Zhao. It is not a strange thing to have a water thief here. Moreover, there are so many bandits and thieves in this era. The Bai family’s business club has fought many wars with these guys. It’s just that the ship he and Ying Shu are riding on is Ying Quliang’s ‘junzhou’, and there are two large wings that can carry two hundred soldiers to protect him. The water thief actually dares to attack. Could it be that he has taken the courage of Xiongxin?
Before they could take action, they heard the sound of hitting bamboo cards. There were more than a dozen small boats swept out from the reeds on both sides of the shore. The boats were not big. Each boat was only twenty people, each of which were ragged and ragged, holding a broken sword, and a rectangular bamboo sign in their hands... The bamboo sign looked like a shield, but it was a bit inconsistent. While these bandits were hitting the bamboo sign, they sang loudly, "The reeds are green, the white dew is frost, and there are big wings, on the water; follow it upstream, the road is long and long, why not stop, golden pearls and jade, what I want to take, the beauty on the boat, let's put the sword on the boat...'
Damn it, it's indeed a water bandit!
Bai Dong understood that these bandits were still in the way of the Book of Songs, but they changed some lyrics. It means that we have a crush on your ship. Put down our weapons and keep our guns and take out all the good things! We also have to sing songs with robbery. This is actually a thief, and a bold thief. After driving more than a dozen small boats, he dared to rob a three-story building ship. This is too arrogant!
"Bai Zuo Geng, we have met a water bandit, and depending on the other party's method, it should be the 'Prince Shun' who is rampant between Weiji..."
The person in charge of the safety of the Wisdom was Liang Xiao, the guards of Ying Quliang. Since Ying Quliang became the Qin Jun, Li Di has become the deputy eunuch of the Qin Palace, and a master worshiper. Liang Xiao was born in a general. Although he was not a noble, he had traveled around the world and was also famous among the world's heroes, and was familiar with some water wars. Therefore, this time he was sent by Ying Quliang to protect the safety of the princess.
"Young Master Shun?"
Bai Dong was stunned: "The leader of this water bandit is still a noble?" Since the Shang Dynasty, several families have risen and declined. I don't know how many destitute nobles are, but no matter how decentralized the family is, no noble will be willing to be a bandit. This is a matter of sorry for our ancestors."
"Haha. Others are called young masters, which is a sign of respect. This person is called young masters, but it is a great irony. After this young master Shun claimed to be a nobleman of Shang Dynasty, he also said that his ancestors were the elder brother of King Zhou of Shang, so he ran to dig the tombs of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty..."
"Why, he even stole the tomb?"
Bai Dong looked at him and saw a middle-aged bandit standing in the wind on a slightly larger pirate ship. This man didn't look like a water bandit. He had a bad necklace on his head. Although his clothes were a bit old, he could vaguely see the animal patterns with embroidered ones. He was indeed a down-and-out young man who was desperate to fall back from his feet.
"He doesn't think he is a tomb robber. He said he wanted to take the property left by his ancestors and restore the country for the Shang Dynasty. Naturally, the country could not be restored. However, he was wanted by various countries for the evil behavior of tomb robbers, and he could not even be a bandit on the land. Because the bandits on the land could not tolerate him, he ran to the water to become a water bandit... It is said that this man had a way of holding his breath. He could sneak underground for half an hour without breathing, and he would be the same as underwater. With this skill on water, he became a powerful force and hundreds of subordinates were willing to follow him. So he became a tyrant on the Wei River. There were no decent naval troops in various countries. Even if he sent several warships to chase him, his subordinates were mostly half-fishing and half-bandit. If he jumped off the pirate ship, he became a fisherman, and no one could do anything to them."
"Haha... This 'Young Master Shun' is quite interesting. Lord Liang asked his subordinates to call him and let him meet me."
"Bai Zuo wants to meet this bandit leader? He is here to rob us!"
"There are at least five hundred elite soldiers on our three ships, and they are well-clad and well-clad, and the ship is strong and the arrow is strong. Unless you are stupid, you will have the idea of robbing..."
Bai Dong smiled and shook his head: "Master Liang, just send someone to call out, and just say that Ben Zuo wants to invite him to drink, but he is allowed to come alone. If you don't dare, forget it."
"Bai Zi, it would be so inconvenient to invite a tomb robber to drink as you are now?"
When he heard that Bai Dong wanted to invite this bold water bandit and tomb robber to drink, Liang Xiao and the Flea just frowned slightly. They had been together among the gangsters of the world, but although they felt it was inappropriate, they didn't say anything. Gongshuzhi, who was standing next to Bai Dong, couldn't help but stop him. Now Gongshu and the Bai family are in a prosperous and ardent way, and he doesn't want Bai Dong to lose his reputation because of this person.
"Haha, Mr. Gongshu don't worry, the one I invited to drink was not a tomb robber, but a hero who was among the Weijis after the nobles of the Shang Dynasty. Besides, when did I worry about reputation? In this world, reputation has always been achieved through strength. If you are afraid of losing your reputation when you meet someone, what's the point of living?"
Bai Dong laughed and suddenly shouted, "Young Master Shun, your iron cable is just specially made? Such a thick and long iron cable is very valuable. Aren't you afraid of losing all your capital?"
"So what if you can drink with Bai Zi, Gongzishun will lose all your capital? Bai Zi, Gongzishun is here!"
