Chapter 2 The setting sun of the prosperous age

Yang Xin, who didn't know about this, ran forward on the chaotic street with the sound of drums behind him...

The city gate ahead is closing.

However, he still has a chance. The city is very prosperous. There are many people entering and leaving the city gate, and various vehicles and livestock are crowded with pedestrians. It is not easy to close the city gate. Moreover, his speed is too fast, even exceeding the sprint of professional athletes. The speed of more than ten meters per second is enough to reach only two or three hundred meters in a blink of an eye.

Then……

Suddenly, gunshots sounded overhead.

He instinctively threw himself down at the fastest speed, and then a bullet hit the front.

He raised his head in shock.

Four soldiers on the city wall were aiming at him with ancient mezzanines. The next moment he jumped up like a cheetah, and in the midst of the sound of gunfire, he instantly arrived at the city gate, and bullets splashed dust behind him.

The pedestrians blocked the city gate screamed.

An officer cursed in the chaos with a dozen soldiers, pushing away the person blocking the road and quickly intercepted him.

Yang Xin jumped straight into a carriage full of goods, grabbed the big gun that stabbed him, and jumped to him under the force that the soldier regained his strength, raised his legs and knees to his stomach. The soldier bent over in pain, and his big gun entered Yang Xin's hand. Yang Xin, who swung the gun with one hand, pulled his right hand, and the officer raised his knife to block it. Yang Xin pulled back and threw it to the other side, and the big gun immediately penetrated into the belly of the horse pulling the cart. The horse rang forward with a wail, and the soldiers were so scared that they hurried away.

Yang Xin took advantage of the chaos to quickly squeeze into the city gate hole in the angrily eyes of the officer who was separated from him by a trolley.

The two city gates that were closed were stuck in a large cart. Four soldiers who pushed the door cursed and raised their guns and stabbed them backwards. Yang Xin immediately lowered his head, and with the cover of the big cart, he drilled under the four large guns and appeared in front of the soldiers blocking the way. Before the latter could wake up, he punched him out.

The soldier screamed and fell down on his back.

Yang Xin jumped up on him, rushed forward in his howl of grief and anger, flew directly from the big cart, rushed outside the city gate, and then climbed up without hesitation.

But he quickly retracted when he left the door.

Because the four combs on the opposite city were waiting for him, and there were a few more bows and even a few three-eyed guns. However, the roads in the city were unobstructed, and the business trips blocked in the city had long been wisely divided to both sides. This closed semicircular site was wide enough.

"Run, you ran!"

The officer said with a grin from behind.

Yang Xin turned around and smiled...

"That's what you want!"

He said.

Suddenly he ran forward at full speed.

"put!"

The shouts above my head suddenly rang.

Gunshots were also sounded at the same time.

But the bullets and arrows were still all behind Yang Xin. His speed was too fast. The soldiers finally needed a little reaction speed. It was difficult for a person who exceeded ten meters per second to aim. The shooting of the convex gun was delayed, and the speed of the arrow was limited. As long as it was not head-on, it was difficult to hit. The officer looked at this scene in a daze, as if he didn't believe in his eyes. Even when Yang Xin, who entered the door hole, turned around and waved his hand to him with a smile, he also made a gesture of wiping his eyes.

Then he watched Yang Xin open the locked city gate...

Yang Xin's vision suddenly became clear.

What appeared in front of him were countless masts, and ancient wooden boats were moored in the calm river water. They were too numerous to describe them. These inland boats with vicissitudes of life were crowded by the docks along the river like the Philadelphia dock during World War II. On the right is a Sancha River estuary, a large river heading southeast, and a large ship that was obviously one level higher than a level was also crowded on the shore. But to the west of the Sancha River estuary, the narrowed river channel was heading northward, and wooden sailboats were walking along this river channel...

Yang Xin immediately turned around and looked at the three big words above the main city gate.

Gongbei Gate.

"Tianjin Acropolis."

He took a deep breath and said.

"Tianjin Acropolis of the Ming Dynasty!"

He then sighed.

And it was in the late Ming Dynasty, after all, even the cots were released.

This fact is not pleasant!

"put!"

A roar suddenly rang behind him.

Yang Xin hid in front of a city gate as fast as possible, and immediately hit a bullet on the iron oak board behind him...

He raised his head and looked apologetically at the wooden bridge of the moat.

There was a young man in a furious horse in a freshly dressed horse, who was also staring at him in shock surrounded by more than a dozen servants, and then the bullets shot out from the door hit the young man's horse. The white horse stood up with a cry of wretched voice, and the young man was immediately thrown off the horse. A man who seemed to be a housekeeper next to him then shouted angrily...

Yang Xin looked inside gloatingly.

The officer stood there with a pale face. With Yang Xin's eyesight, he could even see cold sweats appearing on his face.

"Why don't you save someone!"

Yang Xinyi shouted righteously.

The slaves rushed towards their young master in chaos, but at the same time, Yang Xin suddenly began to run along the bridge like a rhino, and suddenly hit the other side of the bridge. At this time, the gunshots on the city walls rang again, but the distance was more than fifty meters, and the shooting of several mesh guns wasted bullets. Including the officers chasing out of the city, everyone could only watch Yang Xin rushed into the dock that looked like a market, disappearing into the bustling crowd like a leaf disappearing among countless leaves. However, the officer had no time to care about him. In fact, the unlucky officer was wiping his cold sweat, facing the angrily scolding the housekeeper as if he was scolding his son!

The young man broke his leg...

He is a little calcium-deficient.

It is obvious that the officer is in trouble.

Canal Pier.

"This is a time travel!"

The culprit was washing his face while watching the thousands of sails racing in front of him.

Travel through time!

The most important question now is how to survive in this era.

It's late Ming!

Seeing that such a chaotic world has not yet begun, there are still continuous ships loading with grain on the arteries of this empire. The ship workers shouted loudly, and the faces of the businessmen did not have the fear of chaos. Even the officials and soldiers were still leisurely and leisurely...

It is so dispersed that it is vulnerable.

"The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it's almost dusk!"

He sighed.

"A beggar is also learning to recite poems from others!"

There was a ridicule coming from beside him.

Yang Xin raised his head speechlessly and looked at a parked merchant ship next to him. It was a passenger ship with a cabin like a small house behind him. An old butler in front of the cabin door watched coldly.

Armed domestic slaves on both sides are on guard.

Several sailors on the deck looked at him jokingly.

But at this time, his image was indeed terrible. The clothes he had pieced together with pieces of torn sacks and many of them were completely deteriorated. They could be described as rags. There was also a striking scar on his face, ragged straw sandals on his feet, dirt all over his body, and then his hair was rolled out with felt hair...

"Dog eyes look down on people"

Yang Xin said.

"Dogs are asking for a fight!"

The sailor who mocked him said angrily.

The sailor next to him immediately grabbed him. They heard that their accent was from the south. Although Yang Xin looked like a standard beggar, beggars did not mean they were easy to mess with...

At least it's not easy for people from other places to mess with.

The beggars in the local area can't afford to offend real gentry, but it's easy to bully a few foreign businessmen. After all, they are all organized. The forces of Tianjin Wharf are in chaos, the gangs of the canal transport in various places, the newly rising Luo Cult, the smuggling gangs raised by local gentry, and even the Beggars' Sects, can be said to be mixed with all the religions. Although these foreign ships are not easy to mess with, they are actually all in groups. These sailors have their own gangs, and they are usually more than a dozen ships. When they fight, they are also hundreds of militants.

But it would be completely unwise to make a fuss over a few quarrels. Who knows if this beggar will bring a bunch of beggars to make trouble when he returns?

“It’s high tide!”

The shouts suddenly rang out in chaos on the dock.

The sailors immediately became in chaos.

Yang Xin raised his head and looked to the right, and saw two white lines hitting head-on by two streams of water at the mouth of Sancha River.

The river water that was pushed by the sea and the river water flowing downward due to the terrain collided at this famous estuary, quickly generating surging waves, and it was also waves up to five meters. Then it was divided into two strands, one pushing the canal on the North Canal to continue forward, and it would push the latter all the way to Beicang, and even the farthest to Yangcun, and the other strand swept along the South Canal, which could sweep across Yangliuqing as far as Yang.

The tide is no more than three Yangs.

Yangcun, Yangliuqing, and Yangfengang.

Three end points of Tianjin sea tide.

The waves caused by the collision of rivers and seas quickly created panic on the South Canal. The turbid waves seemed like a wall storming in arrays, sweeping across the river surface that was not too wide. All the ships docked at the dock were shaking violently in the waves...

"Miss, come back to the cabin soon!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

Yang Xin immediately turned his head and saw a girl walking out excitedly in the cabin.

She was bright goose yellow, holding a small fan in her hand, and looked at the passing waves with surprise on her pretty face. Speaking of the grand scene of the collision of rivers and seas, it was indeed very attractive to people who had never seen it before, but when she was in the power of nature, it was completely tragic. Just as she stepped out of the cabin door, the surging waves swept across and hit the passenger ship, and the entire hull was suddenly lifted up. The girl who was walking screamed, the small fan flew out of her hand, and the whole person flew up...

"Miss!"

The old housekeeper screamed.

He wanted to go over and support him, but as soon as he took a half step, he fell on the deck with the ups and downs of the waves.

Then the two of them rolled down the river at the same time.

"Save people quickly!"

Yang Xin roared.

After saying that, he jumped into the river.
Chapter completed!
