Fall In Love with the Technology Tree - Chapter 93
From Haikou, Hainan, Hong Kong, to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and Weihai, Shandong, almost all of the areas listed on the list of good ports in Ah Sheng are foreign places. Scattered tribes of natives disappeared from the earth without causing the Eastern Han Empire to be alerted at all. Twenty years is enough for the Cao family to build a complete port chain, encircling the mainland from south to north.
The pirate career, which is still in its infancy, has suffered a devastating blow. Whether their speed or combat effectiveness, their small boards have been compared to **** by the Cao family’s ships. In other words, the current Cao family has become the only big pirate on the Eastern Sea. Even the merchant ships coming from the three Koreas to the northeast have to pay them **** fees.
However, the last point on the list is different.
Dalian Lushunkou, the famous antifreeze port in later generations, is an ancient port that has been used since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and is now called Tajin. Although its population is less than 300, it still makes Ah Sheng feel constrained.
From Penglai in Qingzhou to Tajin in Youzhou, across the mouth of the Bohai Sea, it was originally a northward escape route. As the end of the sea route, Tajin was controlled by the Ta clan of Ta County.
If the refugees want to go north to make a living, they must first pay ten dollars in Huangxian County, Qingzhou, and then pay ten dollars when they arrive in Tajin, and then they can be regarded as standing on the land of Youzhou. The rich Changbai Mountains opened a small door to them, hunting or reclaiming wasteland, filling their hungry stomachs for a long time.
If not caught.
According to Han law, these savages who flow into the mountains have no households and no taxes. Once captured by the northern tribes, they are automatically converted into slaves, and they cannot help themselves.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, various ethnic groups were formed. They either continued to flee north, or isolated from the world, or mixed with Fuyu people, Xianbei people, and Goguryeo people. also indistinguishable.
A savage road is also a way of life.
At least, in the hearts of the Bu Dalang family, this is a way of life. Even if seawater keeps coming in from the broken side of the ship, and it takes three children to keep scooping water out to barely maintain the fragile sense of security, there is still a way to live.
Chen’s only copper hairpin. There is still fifty dollars to pay for the “landing fee” for a family of five.
If possible, Bu Dalang does not want to spend this unjust money. However, the deepest water he swam in his life was the small river in his hometown of Yanzhou. It was an almost impossible task to cross an unfamiliar sea with a pregnant woman and three children.
After fleeing the famine, there are still more than 30 members of the Chen family, most of them young and strong, and each family can borrow a large boat with cattle and farm implements on board. This is a small family that can be relied on in troubled times. Following the Chen family’s boat, the chance of surviving is far greater than that of a small family. This is the reason why Bu Dalang had to bite the Chen family even if he was scorned and blackmailed.
At least at sea, he will bite the Chen family.
Chen’s eyes were red: “It’s all useless to me, if I hadn’t quarreled with my father…”
He frowned slightly, “It’s rough, the sea breeze is blowing.”
Chen’s tears broke into a smile: “It’s only been a day at sea, how could it be blown by the sea breeze?”
The little boy Bu Erlang pretended not to have eaten the dog food, and lowered his head to continue scooping water. He scooped more, and the two little nieces scooped less.
On the other side, Bu Dalang, who had comforted his wife, said to the children, “It’s almost time. We will arrive at Ta’s in two days, and we are already halfway there. Sailor, will not admit the wrong way.”
Ali pulled her mother’s sleeve uneasily: “Father, why do I think the waves are getting bigger and bigger?”
Not only are the waves getting bigger and bigger, but also the dark clouds rolling in from the eastern sky, and the gradually disappearing sunlight. Bu Dalang suddenly threw down the oars, found a sturdy hemp rope from the small broken boat, and knotted it around the children’s armpits in turn. Until the whole family was tied to the broken ship, the sky was completely cloudy.
“It’s a storm! Rear the sails!” The big boat in front was already in chaos, but they were already packed with people and grain cattle. They were in a hurry to reel the sails easier said than done.
Hope lies ahead.
But the wind and waves stopped them here, and even swallowed their lives.
The sails were blown and the ship tipped uncontrollably to the left. With a loud bang, the mast snapped and fell on the boat. Bu Dalang saw with his own eyes a disciple of the Chen family being smashed into the sea by a mast.
Then, hemp rope pulled the small broken boat forward fiercely, almost making Bu Erlang follow in the footsteps of that man.
Bu Dalang and his wife just grabbed their brother when a big wave came over and overturned the Chen family’s boat. At the same time, the waterline did not cross the side of the small broken boat, and the whole family fell into the sea.
“Hold the boat!” Bu Dalang shouted, then pulled out his dagger and cut off the hemp rope connecting the small boat and the big boat. He clenched the dagger with his teeth, grabbed the board with one hand, and dragged his family back to him along the rope around his waist with the other.
The small broken boat can no longer be regarded as a boat, it can only be regarded as a piece of wood that barely saves life.
Ahan’s hands were cut with blood by the burrs on the wooden board, but the desire to survive made the little girl dare not let go. Even the youngest Ai didn’t dare to cry, she just tried her best to spit salt water out of her mouth.
Chen’s boat seems to be leaking.
The survivors hugged the floats and were thrown up and down by the waves along with the Bu family.
I don’t know how long it took, Chen’s body gradually lost consciousness, and his breathing became weaker and weaker. Although it is summer, soaking in sea water is still a painful torture for pregnant women.
May be dying here, she thought desperately, God is giving no hope at all.
The raindrops are getting smaller, but they can’t tell where the hope is north. Without oars and sails, you can only follow the current with driftwood, and you may not be able to get to the shore until you die.
“There is a boat!” Suddenly someone shouted, I don’t know which of the Chen family, “There is a big boat!”
Ahan also saw: “There is a boat! Mother, there is a boat! Mother!”
The four-story-high giant ship, like a fortress, broke through the waves and appeared on the eastern sea. Seven or eight tall masts stand like towers. It wobbled in the wind and waves, but even the highest waves could only drop a few hapless fish on its deck. There was even a cosy orange light in the dense round windows of the ship’s walls.
In comparison, the so-called big boat of the Chen family is the ants at the feet of the elephant.
“It’s the Cao family’s building!” The leading sailor recognized it first, and a hoarse voice began to shout, “Help!”
Bu Dalang hurriedly shouted: “Help!”
For a time, the sea full of floating objects was full of calls for help.
Finally, in the eyes of everyone’s expectations, the big ship sailed towards this side. Dozens of figures with ropes tied around their waists jumped off the high deck in unison; then, dozens of circle-shaped floating objects tied with ropes were also thrown into the sea.
The silhouette of countless ropes soaring on the giant ship is the most spectacular sight Bu Dalang has ever seen. It is hope, it is strength, it is security, it is the best thing a regime can give.
Because of a short wind and waves, the Cao family’s fleet stayed on the sea for half a day.
“Asheng is really kind.” Cao Cao laughed, “Don’t you say you can’t delay?”
A Sheng: “If you encounter a shipwreck, you can help. This is also the rule in the sea.”
“What kind of rule is this?”
“It is human’s rule to watch and help each other in the face of natural disasters!”
The sea search and rescue team all returned when the sunset turned red. The captain of the boat, Chen Wuxie, swung over from the **** boat with his upper body naked to report, his eight-pack abs glowing with water: “I heard from the survivors that their party originally consisted of forty-two people. Nineteen live people were brought up, two of them were alive. Of the corpses, the whereabouts of the remaining twenty-one are unknown.”
A Sheng nodded: “You try your best, then let’s set sail.”
Chen Wuxie seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still said: “A pregnant woman is in red. If the master doesn’t save her, about nineteen will become eighteen.”
“You are also dishonest.” Lv Bu jumped off the cabin roof, “Don’t be tricky, lord.”
“Since you know she’ll go, why pretend to pity her.”
A Sheng silently watched the two ancients “routines” come and go, she didn’t want to admit that these messy words were spread from her, she was busy saving people.
Through the light and the environment, nineteen did not become eighteen, but twenty.
The newborn of Bu Dalang’s family was named Bu Zhen by the head of the Chen family. The earthquake position is the east, which means the Cao family fleet that emerged from the east.
“That sailor is not well-educated, careless, and a little slippery, so it’s not worthy of great use. The Chen family’s aptitude is average, but the temper is not small. But Bu Da is a little extraordinary.” Seeing the Youzhou Coast appearing ahead, Ah Sheng began to discuss with Qin Liu the question of where these strangers would go.
One night is enough for Qin Liu to pick up the eighteen generations of these people’s ancestors.
“A village brave, neither literate nor a craftsman, how can he afford to be a ‘fantastic’?”
“The Chen family did not have a single **** board. Both the Bu family daughters survived. This is the extraordinary of Bu Da.”
Fleeing from the famine for a year, to save two young girls and a pregnant woman from starvation, plunder, miscellaneous taxes, epidemics, and storms, but these three are not ugly. Then, luck, force, wisdom, tenacity and conscience are indispensable.
A Sheng walked to the railing and looked back, looking at the **** ship watching the stranger: “Before docking, leave the Bu family behind. The Chen family is willing to stay as a tenant farmer as well. . That sailor… if you want to leave, then you can do it.”
Qin Liu chuckled: “No.”
“Break down and stop. Marines stand by. Scouts disguised as refugees and went ashore with the Chen family who were leaving.”
Cao Cao stood up, put on his light armor, and picked up his steel knife.
Lu Bu also sharpened his knife excitedly: “If nothing else, it’s a mob of people exploiting the refugees, five hundred people is enough. It’s just that we occupy Tajin, Ta County magistrate and Liaodong Gongsun clan. How do you explain it there? Dalang is the county magistrate of Wen County, and he can’t control his neighbors.”
Old man Duan leaned on the hatch door and yawned: “The people of Ta’s fish and meat caused the civil revolt, and happened to be hit by Dalang who was in office. The magistrate of Ta County died in the civil revolt. The memorial has arrived. Luoyang. This kind of last-class county in the last state, with a population of only a few thousand in the whole county, the Da clan was placed in the Central Plains, saying that the poor family is all flattering, and if you kill it, you will kill it. The emperor may not care, and the Gongsun clan may not care. .”
“Old Duan is still so…spirited.”
“Hahahaha, little girl, are you trying to say that I’m still so vicious.”
“…I don’t, I’m not, I’m very good.”
