Chapter 205 Xu Xiake goes to sea
Dengzhou sea area.
The wind is whistling and the water turns clear.
Today is a rare sunny day. Looking at the sky, the sea and the sky are blue, the wind is calm, as if a piece of green orchid and jade cloth spreads between the sky and the earth, endless.
At the Linhai Pier in Dengzhou, there were crowds of people, and dragons and lions danced and gongs and drums shook the sky.
Twelve large ships lined up in a row, with tall masts and huge hulls, each with flags. A huge character "风" was written on it, and the hull was surrounded by red cloth, brand new and bright like twelve giants, standing between the sea and the sky, which was particularly eye-catching.
The main ship is also huge.
The giant hull that is dozens of meters long, with a carved dragon on the bow, with a hideous mouth, and its mighty look down on its head, and its dragon's eyes are as bright as a drum to look at the distance of the sea and the sky.
There are crowds of people on the pier.
Countless people were so shocked by these twelve large ships that they couldn't speak. I, Daliang, had such a huge ship!
Hundreds of people burst into tears.
After today, I am separated from the young and young child from the world, and I don’t know when I will meet again.
Five hundred soldiers with bright armored soldiers boarded a boat in batches under the leadership of a general who was wearing armor but had a little short and stout figure. Then there were soldiers from Dengzhou who escorted three hundred pairs of boys and girls to board a boat.
There was a burst of crying on the dock.
Some people cursed Xu Zhen, and some people cursed the empress’s stupidity.
Fortunately, there were soldiers in charge of the formation, so there was no chaos. Lin'an had an order to come here first, so he could spare his crime today.
The short armored general turned around and came to the dock and said to a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt and a beard with a horoscope, "Mr. Xu, everything is ready, just wait for the auspicious time to set sail."
Xu Zhen nodded with his head, looking quite arrogant, and said to the imperial guards commander Zhao Wu: "It's very good."
At the end of this expedition to the East China Sea, Zhao Wei, the Imperial Guard, was promoted one after another, and jumped directly to the command. The promotion was so strong that it was a prosperous favor, but there were only 500 subordinate imperial guards.
Xu Zhen, a commoner, was even appointed as the commander of the East by His Majesty the Empress. After discussing for a long time, the Ministry of Personnel decided to give this unprecedented official title to the fourth rank and be a military official.
From a commoner to a fourth-rank official, Xu Zhen can be said to have achieved the dream of countless people's lifelong career.
But no one envies it.
No one knows how big the East China Sea is, what is on the sea? Is it the legendary Penglai Fangzhou, the abbot of the human world, or the countless sea beasts, or the violent hurricanes that are dark and turbulent.
But for hundreds of thousands of years, fishermen who have entered the depths of the East China Sea have never survived.
So everyone knows that Xu Zhen may not return this time.
No matter how high an official is, it is a false thing to come back without life. Therefore, even if the empress gave Xu Zhen's official position to the first rank, no one envied the Daliang court and the country.
Next to Xu Zhen, two young men wearing imperial imperial prison uniforms stood.
The big sleeves are floating, the beautiful and beautiful goddess is bright, and the fairy style of Taoist bones is erected.
These two worshippers of the Imperial Heavenly Prison are extinct qi practitioners in the world. They are good at calculating, know astronomy and geography, and are important figures in this trip to the sea. Unlike the old supervisor of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, these two worshippers seem to be young, but in fact they are over forty years.
Around these three, a group of local officials in Dengzhou stood.
At this moment, Wei Niu Nuonuo and Xu Zhen were greeting each other, but it was nothing more than a few people took it seriously.
Currying with Xu Zhen?
Why does a dying person need to curry favor with him?
Further away, the man in black who was standing in a position that was out of place with the crowd, wearing a sword around his waist, his face was still pale and blood-colored. It was Yan Qing, who had just recovered from his major injury.
This big inner master who once blocked thunder for his old boyfriend Liu Zhengqing's sword, had no fluctuations in his heart.
Although I know that this time I go out to sea for a lifetime, since Your Majesty has the order, I will go and understand Your Majesty’s intention. If I can really find out, if Xu Zhen takes measures that are not conducive to Daliang, he can be punished.
The two worshippers who came from the Imperial Heavenly Prison in Lin'an, and even the commander of Zhao Wei, should have received the order of His Majesty.
After all, Xu Zhen is an Yiren registered by the North Town Fushi.
A small official came over and said that the auspicious time had come. Xu Zhen glanced at the two imperial prisoners. After receiving the affirmative gesture, he waved his hand with a grand spirit.
Set off!
Xu Zhen took the lead, Zhao Wo followed, followed by two imperial guards, and Yan Qing walked quietly at the end.
After offering sacrifices to the animals, a group of five boarded the main ship.
Above the pier, the salutes roared. With the shouts, the twelve large ships fell off the canvas and set sail in the rumbling of cannons. After leaving the pier, a large ship headed, and the main ship followed by ten large ships guarding its tail.
It is shaped like a trident, riding the wind and waves to split the large green orchid cloth, pointing directly to the depths of the East China Sea.
Daliang went to the East China Sea and did not know the good or bad luck.
On the dock, among the three hundred pairs of boys and girls, some people couldn't stand the torture, and they cried heartbrokenly, and many people fainted - of course, most of them were boys' families.
After all, what I lost is a male.
Fortunately, there are a large number of state soldiers who control the situation, so it is nothing. Then, it is to further implement the aftermath work.
The empress meant that anyone who gave birth to a boy or a girl would be exempted from taxes for ten years. If there were people who were studying at home, the state school should open the door to convenience. If someone needed to inherit the ancestors' empress, the Ministry of Personnel would also give priority to doing good deeds.
All kinds of aftermath measures have won back the hearts of many people.
The crowd gradually dissipated.
In the end, only a few people were left watching the twelve giants that broke the sea and left in the sun, gradually moving away and silently.
A long sigh.
The Master, who was dressed in white, was full of vicissitudes of life, was a little excited and said softly and then made the same mistake. Can you tell me the good and bad luck?
There was also a Qianqiu overlord who asked a Taoist priest to lead three thousand boys and girls overseas to seek the elixir of immortality. Coincidentally, the Taoist priest was also named Xu, but there was no news afterwards.
If the people are exhausted and money is not gained, there will be disaster.
Although the empress today is not for the elixir of immortality, but is determined to be in the world and open up a broader horizon for the world, what can she get?
If there was a stronger dynasty at the end of the East China Sea, would it bring disaster to Daliang?
The Master was a little worried.
Li Wanyue, who was beside her, pulled the corner of Lafuzi's clothes.
The Master looked back and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a little touch."
The little loli in an extremely bad mood after leaving Kaifeng, but still did not get out of the shadow brought by the girl in red. Her eyes did not fall on the big ship that was about to disappear at the end of the sky and the thoughts were not on the Master.
Just stared at the distance with a pissy cheeks blushing.
There were two female heroes there comfortable. One was wearing a red dress and a long sword, and the other female hero was carrying two swords. Seeing this, she rolled her eyes provocatively. She had the ability to come over alone, and she would see that we wouldn't poke you to death.
The little loli spat in a hatred, "Bah, shameless!"
The Master was a little funny, but as an elder, it was really hard to get involved in the emotional disputes between the younger generation. He was helpless towards the two female heroes, and patted his sleeves, "Let's go, that great scholar holds a banquet in Mingchi Tower, Hongmen Banquet."
But if you have any fear, my disciple Xie Wanxi will make you feel ashamed.
A great scholar, many people seek fame and reputation.
Xu Zhen went east into the sea.
The Master and Xiao Xiao went to Nanyou.
Chapter completed!
