The seaside.
The further north you go, the colder Liu Perun and other crew members will feel. As you go further north, ice floes occasionally appear on the sea.
Fortunately, the ship had all the supplies on board, so there were no casualties.
However, after nearly three months of sailing, the crew could not stand it any longer.
"Directly ahead! Big fish! Full right rudder to avoid!"
On the mast, the birds looking into the distance shouted loudly.
He is one of those crew members who just can't stand it anymore, and now he misses the beauty of land very much.
While his soul was wandering into the sky, a giant tail slapped the sea surface, splashing several feet of waves.
fish.
Big fish.
Super big fish.
Feiniao swore that after sailing for so long, this was the first time he had seen such a big fish, and Feiniao felt that the fish was almost the same as the boat he was on.
Hearing his call, Liu Perun didn't hesitate at all. The rudder quickly turned right. The rudder was fully lowered and the buckle blocked the rudder. Liu Perun quickly ran to the side of the ship to look out.
"Don't be stunned, there are four people left on the deck to control the sails, and the rest go down to the cabin to man the crossbows!"
"promise!"
After a long voyage, the first time this situation occurred, the soldiers were not panicked, but excited, boring, too boring. Now that something unexpected happened, they were all slightly trembling and excited.
On the mast.
The flying bird stared at the big fish with its eyes closed.
The blowhole on the back of the big fish spurted out a column of water two feet high.
etc.
More than one!
When a big fish spurts out water, gradually, many water columns spurt out around it at the same time.
Asuka counted them carefully, there were seven water columns in total.
Immediately shouted down.
"Seven big fish! Don't act rashly!"
No need for Feiniao to shout, Liu Perun has already seen it.
A big fish just surfaced and passed by the port side. With just one glance, Liu Perun felt cold all over.
It was too big. Even the fifty-meter-long giant ship under his feet was only ten meters longer than the big fish. Even he felt a little more worried when facing such a huge flesh and blood thing. fear.
"Control the sail! Stay away from here! The opponent has no attack movements, no shooting! Repeat! No shooting!"
Liu Perun really didn't dare to fight such a big fish without understanding its habits. You must know that Feiniao just said that there are seven of them nearby. If the big fish is offended and they attack in groups, it will be no different from a sailboat. The big ones only need to arch twice, and the souls of people like themselves will return to the Kingdom of God.
The palms of the soldiers in the lower cabin became wet. They pursed their lips and wiped their hands on their clothes. The soldier responsible for aiming followed the big fish with the arrows of the three-bow crossbow like a spear.
The center of gravity of the ship kept shifting. Liu Perun jammed the rudder. At this moment, the sailboat kept turning to the right.
There was silence on the boat until the big fish got farther and farther away from them. Many of the soldiers on the boat let out a long breath.
deck.
After getting away, Liu Perun immediately corrected the rudder and the sailboat continued to sail straight.
But after what happened just now, he may need some time to reposition the ship.
The boat slowed down, and Liu Perun opened the chart he drew to compare the position.
In addition, he also recorded what he encountered today in a book and drew the appearance of the big fish. Unfortunately, he only saw the back and side of the big fish, and he did not see the complete appearance clearly.
Close the book, Map of the Sea, is the title he mentioned.
After several days of sailing, the temperature was still not too high, and all the crew members put on coats.
The scattered broken islands were like a bridge on the sea, connecting the two sides. He saw the strait that the king mentioned as he wished. It should be, the location was correct!
"Boys, turn the rudder to the right, we are almost there!"
"Roar--!"
"Haha, great, I can finally go to the ground!"
"."
Violent cheers erupted on the sailboat. Nearly four months of drifting at sea had almost reached the physiological limit for these people who were sailing on the sea for the first time.
Liu Perun's words were like a shot in the arm, and everyone was full of strength.
They were lucky enough to arrive at the Bering Strait at this time of year. August was about to turn into September. Although the temperature here was not high, it was not extremely cold.
Of course, this is also related to the warm period.
The sailboat drew an arc on the sea and arrived in North America, but Liu Perun was not in a hurry to dock.
He was not stupid, and the climate here showed that the environment was harsh. He continued to sail the ship toward the southeast.
The chart became more and more full, and all the scenery along the way was drawn from the place where the envoy was sent. When one piece of cloth was not enough, another piece was sewn on. As the sailing ship continued to sail toward the southeast, Liu Perun was surprised to find that if he If he chooses to cross the sea, he can return to Liao Land twice as fast as before.
——
Liaodong.
Wuli County.
County Lieutenant Zhang Qi nodded as usual.
It has been more than a month since I joined the company.
Judging from the message sent by the carrier pigeon, the group of young and strong soldiers who arrived was led by Wei Qing. They should arrive in half a month.
The border counties are now connected into an information network under the operation of the web-weaving merchants. Any military movement passing through the border counties cannot escape the eyes of these people.
Wei Qing is naturally the same.
Although he was a leading wizard, he was not a god. How could he know out of thin air that there was now a pair of eyes that did not belong to the Han Dynasty on the border of the Han Dynasty.
Wulu County is the county town that Hu Shui plundered when he led the Huns cavalry to invade the border.
The county magistrate had been dismissed due to poor defense, and the one who took office was naturally Lu Mu.
The position of governor-counselor was not for nothing. Later, Zhang Yi bet on Zhang Qi, and Lu Mu, who had been staying in Liaodong, was naturally brought to the forefront.
At the end of the day, Zhang Qi asked many captains and commanders to bring back the various ministries.
These are Wuyou soldiers, and they are also city guards. They are not worth spending too much time on, just a little win over people's hearts.
County government.
In the back hall, the county chief Lumu, as the head of a county, was sitting on the lower hand seat handling government affairs.
Zhang Qi sat in the main seat and was also dealing with political affairs.
It's just that one of them deals with the political affairs of Wulu County, while the other deals with the political affairs of Wuhuan and Xianbei.
Of course, the power of things should be urgent, and those who can get Zhang Qi's hands are things that are not urgent, but Hu Ling, Hui and the others can't make the decision.
"Your Majesty."
Halfway through the day, Lu Mu, who was sitting down, spoke up.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Qi didn't even raise his head. He was planning the distribution of Wuhuan villages and towns. It was inevitable to distribute the population outward. Otherwise, everyone would be crowded in the city, which would be a waste of a lot of land.
Moreover, regarding Wuhuan's positioning, he still needs to think about how Wuhuan can exert greater value as Xianbei is a granary and some key industrial areas.
"Miss Bai Xing has urged you twice. It's time for you to eat."
"Oh, let her send it over. I still have some things to finish."
"only."
Lu Mu didn't dare to rush him. Since arriving in Liaodong, the last time he met Zhang Qi was at the wedding of Qinghua. After not seeing each other for more than half a year, he felt that his master had gained a layer of majesty from everyone else.
He thought, maybe this is the power of the king.
