"What do you call a brother?"

The ship owner Da Huang Zhen reached out and pulled Yang Xin onto the deck while asking enthusiastically.

"Yang Xin!"

Yang Xin answered frankly.

Huang Zhen glanced at him meaningfully...

"What a hero!"

He patted Yang Xin's shoulder and sighed.

He probably thought it was a temporary fake name, but it was not his business. He was pleased that he had another outlaw under his command. From this behavior, he knew that there were no good people in this boat. The sailors who were busy fixing the small sampan to the side of the boat all welcomed Yang Xin in their ways, with their faces and eyes showing fierceness. Especially after Huang Ying patted Yang Xin and reminded him not to forget to tell a story, at least half of the sailors had a very fierce expression.

Huang Zhen didn't say much to him.

Working contract...

Uh, does a fugitive who needs to cut his head twice and hang his gallows once need this?

Huang Ying then walked out and threw Yang Xin a hard bread. She also took a piece of it and gnawed it. Yang Xin stood beside her and looked at the ship.

Standard inland watershed cabin type.

Or it should be called a shallow boat.

The length is less than twenty meters, except for the fore deck that is at most four meters empty, the rest are covered with semi-circular boat tents. The boat tents are woven from bamboo and are painted with tung oil. However, above the tail rudder cabin, an additional large low wooden box was added, and a bellyband could be seen from the open window...

Huang Ying followed his gaze and stepped on him with a red face.

This is her boudoir.

The mast on the ship had been put down, and it was a herringbone mast. At this time, the ship was still driven by the tide, but there were long oars on both sides, so it was obvious that when it was needed, it was necessary to row manpower. What made Yang Xin confused was the sampan they carried. In theory, this type of inland boat would not usually bring this. Although this small sampan was only three or four meters long, it was also a big burden for such a shallow boat. Of course, he would not ask about such a thing, no matter what he did, he would know it in the future.

At this moment, the sunset had completely set, and the night gradually enveloped. The shallow boat driven by the tide was silently moving forward on the wide river.

Soon the lights on the west coast were flashing.

Immediately afterwards a large town and a wide river estuary appeared.

"Which ghost place is this?"

Yang Xin asked.

"Transfer to my family!"

Huang Ying gave him a blank look and said.

"This is to go to Triangle Depot. After passing the Tin character, you will enter Triangle Depot, exit Triangle Depot and enter Huitong River. Continue to go forward to Yuanjiakou, go north to Bazhou and west to Qingyuan."

Huang Zhen said with a smile.

"Then where are we going?"

Yang Xin asked.

"Tonight, I will go to Yin'erwan first. If there is no major reason on the road, I will probably be able to go to Zhangjiawan in seven or eight days. Brother Yang can go to the capital to enjoy the dragon energy of the imperial capital."

Huang Zhen said.

"Ha, I don't even know what the emperor's name is!"

Yang Xin said without respect.

"Although the emperor has been in power for forty-seven years, few people know about this emperor's taboo."

Huang Zhen said with a smile.

The 47th year of Wanli!

Yang Xin finally knew what year it was!

In the early summer of the 47th year of Wanli, the weather was not too hot. The Battle of Sarhu had just been completed. The Ming Dynasty was defeated by the wild boar skinned 300-mile front four routes because of Yang Hao's brain-dead attack, and was defeated by Wild Boar Skin with cavalry speed. In the end, this decisive battle outside the pass ended with the failure of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army's elite field troops outside the pass were completely lost, and even three of the four main generals were killed one after another. From then on, they completely lost the initiative on the battlefield in Liaodong and had to turn to defense. Then the fierce battle between the Ming and Qing sides outside the pass began for nearly 30 years...

Twenty-six years to be exact.

It's still early!

Yang Xin's mood immediately improved a lot.

At least he is still in the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty. Although this prosperous era is already declining, it is much better than the prosperous era of sweet potatoes.

In the night wind, he stood proudly on the bow of the boat, watching Yin'er Bay getting closer and closer, and the number of canal ships on the shore was increasing. Soon, it was as dense as the Tianjin pier, and it stretched forward and could not see the end. These Jiangnan ships loaded with heavy grain were far more drifting than the shallow ships under his feet. They could only sail here by high tide and then transported to warehouses on the shore, and stripped ships would transport these foods to Tongzhou in the following time. These canal ships were different from civilian ships, and were escorted by the army. Each ship was equipped with several soldiers and hired ship workers. They enjoyed priority passing in any section of the river. Once the channel was crowded, all civilian ships had to make way for them.

This is the lifeblood of the capital.

"What should I do if I freeze it?"

Yang Xin said.

"It's frozen. In that year, there will be no thousands of ships on the Baihe River."

Huang Ying said.

After saying that, she picked up a long oar, or called the throne to Yang Xin...

"Go on a boat!"

She pushed her hand and said.

The lowest-level boatman, or coolie Yang Xin, and the sailors, supported the long boat with the sailors, and pushed the shallow boat with a little more than three feet of water to the shore to stop. Huang Zhen sent sailors to the ashore and bought wine and meat at a familiar restaurant. Huang Ying made a few fish by himself. Even though Yang Xin's entry ceremony, Huang Zhen did not say what he did. Although he was delivering a batch of goods to the capital this time, it was obvious that a law-abiding businessman would not absorb a fugitive. As for the goods they transported this time, they were all very ordinary things, mainly buckets of rapeseed oil, which had been unloaded in Tianjin, and there were a small amount of messy groceries such as dried locust flowers.

This is transported from Hejian.

From the river, the Yudai River waterway is connected to the Huitong River, which is the Daqing River, then pass through Yuanjiakou and continue to flow downstream into Triangle Den. At this time, Triangle Den is a huge lake, and it is all west of Tianjin. This modern disappeared lake carries the incoming water from the entire Daqing River system and the Yongding River system. The latter is also called Hunhe, and it is divided into two strands, one directly enters Triangle Den, and the other merges into Daqing River in Yuanjiakou. In the end, almost half of the rivers in the north of Zhili south of Beijing all flow into Triangle Den and then enters the North Canal or Baihe in Ting Gu. This inland river shipping system goes all the way to Qingyuan, covering the vast area from north to Zhuozhou to Zhengding, and the Baiyangdian, which is familiar to modern people, is also part of it.

But it's only part.

Baiyangdian is much smaller than Triangle Dian.

However, the prosperity of Triangle Lake was at the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties. By the time of Ma Ge, all the mud and sand carried by the Yongding River poured into Triangle Lake, and finally it was filled with mud and sand deposited little by little.

But at this time it was really comparable to the water of Liangshan.

Yang Xin, who had enough food and drink, fully demonstrated the quality of a good guy. He didn't ask what he shouldn't ask and went to bed. He was a little tired on this day.

the next day.

"Aren't we leaving?"

Yang Xin, holding the cake in his mouth, asked.

"Don't worry, wait a minute before talking!"

Huang Zhen said, keeping his good-looking smile.

But he is definitely not a good man. This guy is covered in muscles and scars, and one arm looks slightly thicker. This is obviously the result of frequent hard bows. If you say that no one is killed, Yang Xin would not believe it.

"I haven't eaten enough yet, I'm just like a starving ghost!"

Huang Ying beat Yang Xin and said.

"If you can eat, you can do it. Only when you are full can you work!"

Huang Zhen said with a smile.

While speaking, a familiar passenger ship slowly came in the river channel downstream. Huang Zhen immediately greeted him, and Yang Xin and others quickly supported the ship to the channel. Because there were many canal ships here, the river channel that was not wide was blocked into a water lane, and they and the ship just met. The old butler of the Wang family walked out in the cabin, looked at them, and then greeted Huang Zhen on the deck with a smile.

"Huang Changnian, what a coincidence!"

The old housekeeper said.

"Everything is in mind, please ask first!"

Huang Zhen bowed with a smile on his face and said.

"We happened to be together, and we also took care of each other on the way. Xiao Si gave Huang Changnian two lanterns and made ours out too!"

The old housekeeper said.

Obviously this is Huang Zhen’s purpose.

It is not that easy to sail on the canal, and you have to face a lot of trouble along the way, especially the Hexi Servant in front, which is a cash gate that specializes in collecting tolls. However, no matter what trouble, as long as you have these two lanterns, you can basically stop it. The Wang family was Wang Keshou, who was the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right assistant censor of the Censorate of Ji Liao and Baoding, and other military affairs. Wanli's confidant old minister did not even shake his position. The Northern Canal area is the right guard in Tianjin. In addition to the Guancang, Yin'erwan also has Yin'erwan Qianpu, which is a military household that specializes in dredging rivers. All of these are in the jurisdiction of the Governor of Ji Liao. It can be said that with these two lanterns and the old butler's boat, the old butler, will not dare to make things difficult for Huangzhen along the way.

Huang Zhen hurried over and kept receiving the two lanterns thankfully.

"This little brother is kind-hearted. Why didn't you see the little brother on the boat yesterday?"

The old butler looked at Yang Xin with a smile and said.

"I think everyone cares about the older people. I see many people. There are always a few people who look similar. I just say that my younger generation is kind enough to see, just like an elder in the village!"

Yang Xin said.

"Ah, this makes some sense. Speaking of which, I remember who you look like, but the scar on that person's face is on the left, but your scar is on the right. Besides, there is a big scar on his body, and your body is very slippery. It won't look like you at all. Next time you will see someone who looks a little similar to you, but has a big scar on his body, and there is a scar on his left face. Remember to report to the official. This person is a fugitive. Remember to be careful."

The old housekeeper said with a smile.

"Thank you, please be alert!"

Yang Xin said seriously.

At this moment, a sleepy little head poked out at a window behind the old housekeeper, widened his watery eyes and looked at the two guys who were lying with open eyes.

But then her eyes turned to Huang Ying.

"Sister Huang!"
Chapter completed!
