10. Aunt Yu's Big Boat
The girls from Dadi screamed in shock, while Ming Huaiyi continued to vomit, as if he was about to pour out all the gallbladder.
At this time, thanks to the smart girl's cleverness, she knew that the burly military general was seasick, so she brought Ming Huaiyi a portion of okra, plus pickled gourd seedlings from the restaurant. Ming Huaiyi screamed, and was still dizzy there, shouting that I must not eat anything.
Now it was the girls' turn to laugh, saying that they were not afraid of swords, guns and arrows when they entered the battle formation, but they were afraid of eating vegetables and seedlings.
The two brothers of the Ming family clamped him tightly, forced his neck to tilt, pried open his mouth, and then the girls stuffed the seedlings into it.
Then Ming Huaiyi got better, bowed his back and sat on the edge of the embankment. The surging Yangtze River passed by the embankment, his long legs hung down, and he shivered for a while before he slowly recovered.
Before leaving, Ming Huaiyi barely stood in front of the Dadi Restaurant and spent money to buy a lot of sunflower vegetables and gourd seedlings to store them to face the next voyage.
After the half-day rest, Zhang Xi stood at the head of the boat and fired several cannons. With the sound of cannons as a signal, the soldiers of the three armies left the embankment, followed the stone stairs, and boarded the ship one after another.
Bypassing Xiangyang, the Han River turned to the south. On both sides of the river bank, there were high embankments. There were buildings and mansions on the embankment, and there were rows of rich houses. Behind the embankment were flat fields, southern goods, northern goods, and Sichuan goods were all available. Even the various herbs from Xingyuan Prefecture are for sale here. The fleet traveled through it and it was extremely convenient to obtain supplies.
In the end, a large fleet of ships came to Yicheng County, where the old capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was located, was a large fleet of ships that were shaking waves, especially the leading ship, which was several times the size of the Xingyuan Thousand Hu ship. On the square sail on the mast, a giant word "Yu" was written in red ink, which kept turning in the wind.
"Brother, what is the origin of this ship?" Seeing the two fleets walking opposite each other, only one or two miles away, the Ming brothers, who felt the oppression, hurriedly shook Ming Huaiyi, who had a gourd seedling in his mouth and his face turned blue, and asked him.
Ming Huaiyi was dizzy. Looking up, he saw the bow of the big ship with a character "Yu". Under the waves, it was like a mountain pressing over. With a "nasal" sound in fear, the gourd seedlings suddenly drifted with the wind, and their body was lying on the side of the ship again, and the flow was flowing down.
"It's the boat from Aunt Yu's house, get off the anchor..." Zhang Xi stood firmly at the bow of the boat and raised his hand to shout.
"Oh!" All the sailors on the entire ship stopped the long pole, and the bamboo bundles on both sides of the ship were also dragging the drizzle of water and lifted up by ropes. Then all the fleets sank Shiding into the water and moored on the side of the Yicheng embankment.
At this moment, the sailors and soldiers on the boat where Zhang Xi was on saw that the woman in a half-armed shirt and combing her hair bun was standing on the big boat with a half-armed shirt. She was magnificent and handsome, with her head flying in the river breeze. When she was standing tall, she saw Ming Huaiyi, who was vomiting and bent on the deck, she laughed and asked:
"You are so weak, you are the infantryman of Xingyuan Mansion!"
Ming Huaiyi rolled his eyes and looked up at this person weakly and angrily.
I guess she is the so-called Aunt Yu.
Aunt Yu, Yu Jingnan, Shandong East Road, Eyue and East Road to Jiangnan East Road, are all famous figures. Yes, she is a woman, but she has a huge fleet, from Jiangnan West Road to Jiangnan West Road in the south to Weiyang in the north, which was her original business route. As the saying goes, the ships in the river must follow the rule of "water does not carry ten thousand" and the load capacity cannot exceed ten thousand stones. Aunt Yu's ship specially built nine thousand stones. In comparison, most of the boats sailing on the river from Xingyuan Prefecture to Xiangyang and Yuhan River were only about thousand stones, which is the so-called "thousand-hu boats". Compared with Aunt Yu's ship, it is really a witch.
But since Wu Shaocheng, Huaixi, used Jiangzhe thieves to cut off the Jiangyun, Aunt Yu's business has suffered a lot. So with Xiao Yi's help, she had contacted Gao Yue and generously agreed: As long as the high school boy is willing to conquer the Cai thieves in Huaixi, all the ships of all sizes and sizes in Jiangling Prefecture will be obeyed.
So at this moment, Aunt Yu led the fleet from Jiangling Prefecture to let Dingwu, Yining and Baoda soldiers transfer to her large ship and rushed to Eyue Town.
"Oh, this boat is really huge!" Unexpectedly, after boarding Aunt Yu's boat, Ming Huaiyi was no longer fainting, and could still climb the high building on the bow of the boat. Looking at him from a high point, he expressed such emotion.
Aunt Yu smiled and told him: "Because this is a ship of nine thousand stones, the bigger the ship, the more stable it will be."
Hearing this, Ming Huaiyi looked back and saw that there were rows of nurseries and corrals separated by wooden frames on the boat, which not only were vegetables, fruits and melons, but also pigs and sheep.
"My boat has hundreds of sailors. Their health and death weddings can be handled in the cabin." Aunt Yu proudly crossed his hands on his chest and said to Ming Huaiyi, "It turns out that before Wu Shaocheng in Huaixi was rampant, my boat only traveled back and forth along the Yangtze River during a year, trafficking goods, and making profits of over 100 million. But now it has been reduced by more than half, and even my children followed me, but I made them unable to eat or wear warmth. What is the face of standing in this world? So when the high school nurse told the Holy Lord to decide to suppress Wu Shaocheng, I knew that even if I lost all my money, I had to help the officials and soldiers succeed."
Ming Huaiyi couldn't help but admire this woman in his heart, and he and her also had empathy. Didn't I just wander around and finally join my father's account for the sake of my whole sister Qingfanluo not being bullied?
At this moment, Aunt Yu glanced at Ming Huaiyi, remembering his weak appearance on the ship just now, she was not angry and asked, "How? Is the Guanjun and the Huaixi Mule Army fighting immediately? Can you do this?"
So Ming Huaiyi's little temper suddenly came up, "You are just showing off your power on this river. Have you ever seen the snow-capped mountains? That year, I followed my father to conquer Xifan. The traitors rode on horseback. We chased them over for more than a thousand miles before cutting off their heads. Have you seen the water in Nanzhao? No boat can float there, only cowhide can. When we crossed the river, we blew the cowhide rafts with our mouths, and then I rode on the cowhide and floated like leaves. The river was amazing, all of which were huge waves in the shape of a mountain, but when we got on the shore, we didn't even get wet even the horse's hair. I've seen it..." Just as Ming Huaiyi continued to ramble, there were drum beats on the river.
Under the flag, the sailors were all excited, pointing to the waters in the south, and shouting: "It is the official warship of Jiangling Mansion, and it is also here!"
Aunt Yu put his hand on his eyebrows, "Yes, it's Jingnan's cassette - we set sail, too!"
In the distance, warships with red flags passed by lightning. They all came from the direction of Xijing River. Each ship had two wheels on the side of the ship, and they were rolling like flying: this was Cao Wanggao's invention when he was in charge of the Jingnan Jiedushi. Now that Fan Ze succeeded, the scale of the flyship has been expanded.
In addition to carrying infantry from Jiannan, on the Jingnan flyship, he also shouldered the responsibility of escorting various troops through the Huaixi Jiangpi-pirate control area and transporting them to Jingkou. The two generals Yishen and Wang E took the lead.
