In the sixty-seventh year of Emperor Tao and Tang Dynasty, the summer solstice!
In the churning water of the river, warships from the Central Plains appeared.
Dongyi Baiyue gathered first, and after the Central Plains made all-round arrangements, they sent a large army later. Before that, Emperor Rangqi went to the Kunlun Mountains in the West. Of course, he was not looking for these words. Worse than someone who farts.
The Yellow Emperor's old tribes, the tribes of Dayongzhiyuan, agreed to send troops, but they only went to the other side of Dongting Lake and blocked Sanmiao from counterattacking Danyuan from the rear by the river, and did not participate in the pursuit.
The cattle and horses were bustling, and the Yellow Emperor's old men were gearing up. Among them were old people and wizards. Those very old people seemed a little excited. They seemed to see and see again, the soldiers who followed the Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu. War after war.
These old wizards have been immersed in it since they were young, listening to the glorious wars told by the old people of the previous generation or two generations.
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and Chi You were the three largest and most terrifying forces in the world at that time. The Yan Emperor declined and the Yellow Emperor took his place, competing with Chi You for the co-dominance of the world.
How terrible was Huangdi's reputation at that time?
It was so frightening that the Zhenmeng clan, which was ranked among the top ten in most of the world at that time, knew that their princess had stolen the Yellow Emperor's Mysterious Pearl, and the whole family fled north overnight! He didn't even dare to have any thoughts of confrontation!
The so-called power that shakes the world and spreads all over the world is nothing better than this!
Of course, having said that, the reason why the Central Plains arrived so late has something to do with their poor shipbuilding technology, so purchasing products still requires delivery time. Even if they hire Nailing Kingdom soldiers, it may not be much faster than ordinary tribes.
Fortunately, the journey from here is just to cross the river, not to sail, otherwise these warships would not be able to capsize.
The shipbuilding technology of the ancient Central Plains is difficult to describe. The reason is exactly as Di Fangxun said. The Central Plains has been a continental civilization since ancient times, which refers to a civilization that developed with agriculture as the main means of economic development. Geographically, most of the In part, the original land was in non-coastal areas and was born in large river basins. The Central Plains of China, Egypt, Babylon, etc. are all of this type...
Therefore, the Central Plains and Dongyi, and even coastal civilizations like Baiyue, are completely different in nature. Therefore, when it comes to the brilliance of civilization, handicrafts, weaving, copper smelting, construction, etc., there may be some gaps between Baiyue and the Central Plains, but when it comes to shipbuilding....
Zhongyuan is at least three ranks behind Baiyue, which is equivalent to the difference between a bronze player and a platinum player.
After all, there were no express delivery companies in the Shanhai Era. Besides, no one dared to accept this express delivery order. Although there were no robbers, there were huge groups of alien beasts that could jeopardize their lives...
If you don't need money, just your life, this will be very difficult...
On a warship in the Central Plains, there stood a child of about twelve years old. His gray face looked a little dirty. He stood upright and stared closely at the flow of the river.
At his age, it seems too early to call him a teenager.
The prosperity of the past summer melted into the mountains!
There is Chongshi!
"The south will be there soon. On the other side of the river, go down the river and find the Jindu of Xunshan Mountain. It's not that far away..."
Although the river is wide, it is river navigation after all. Although the navigation skills of Zhongyuan are not very good, they still have a basic sense of direction. This is a basic operation.
The large scale of the Central Plains, in primitive society, and the period of rapid development of inland shipping were during the era of flood control by Dayu.
When Dayu controlled the floods, he guided mountains and water, carried cars by land, and boats by water. Through the dredging and management of rivers, he used ships to weave a water conservancy transportation network, with the Yellow River as the backbone. The so-called "floating in Huaihe and Si, reaching "On the river", "along the river and sea, reaching Huai and Si", "floating on the river, Tuo, Qian and Han, crossing Luo, and reaching Nanhe"...
Dayu's flood control not only surveyed the terrain and the direction of the water veins, but also channeled them according to local conditions. While channeling, he also connected the Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, Sishui, etc.
The young man asked the captain beside him: "Is the south really wild?"
"Yeah, it's really wild."
"It can't be compared with the Central Plains!"
Some soldiers of the Chong clan laughed. They were a large tribe living in the Central Plains. They were also ordered to go to the south this time. It was precisely to prevent Sanmiao from doing anything to the water veins, so a tribe that knew how to control water was needed to take precautions. .
Chongshi naturally did his part.
Of course, the main reason is Gonggong’s excuse.
Gonggong believes that sending Gonggong people to the south is simply making a fuss out of a molehill. What kind of abilities does Sanmiao have that are worthy of Gonggong's action?
"I think it is even more necessary to control big rivers now. We had some success in water control last year. Chong Bogun said he used new methods, but in fact he just made some changes in my methods. In the final analysis, the foundation of water control is , still in the Gonggong clan..."
"Last year, 'prostitution' did not appear. This is a good thing. The flood did not come, and the whole world rejoiced. Therefore, after seeing some success, we dispatched the Gonggong clan to the south. It would be overkill and underutilized... Our department has been controlling the floods so far. , from the time of the Three Emperors in ancient times, from the time of Fuxi to the time of Shennong, no one knows the ability to control water better than I, Gonggong... So, it’s not that I look down on Sanmiao... ."
"It's not that I look down on him..."
These are Gonggong's exact words to the emperor.
In addition to the Chong clan, there are several large tribes sent out from the Central Plains this time.
Yunyi's family, Huan's family, Dahuai's family, Xuyun's family, Jushe's family...
Of course the most powerful...
The young man turned his head and looked at a "big ship" in the center surrounded by many warships.
This ship was bought by the Central Plains from Dongyi at a high price. I heard that it was built by the adults. However, because to the adults, this ship is an inferior product, so it is sold at a low price. But to ordinary humans, this ship is It's already terrifyingly solid...
The Great People want to use this ship to test ocean navigation. Of course, for them, this is a twenty-person boat, but it has failed several times...
The general of the Central Plains, one of the eight heroes of the Gaoyang clan, Cang Shu!
Among this group of people, there were no so-called people sent by the emperor to conduct inspections.
Because Uncle Xi has not received a reply yet, and it is naturally impossible for the Gaoyang clan to know about this kind of thing. Emperor He Fangqi kept this matter very tightly covered, and the four emperor clans did not know about it, so Cang Shu, a Gaoyang general, appeared. Here, it is naturally impossible for Uncle Xi to come.
And beside Cang Shu, there are two big figures, one holding his hands behind his back and the other holding a harp, namely "Huan Dou" [ ] and "Yan Long"!
The young man took a deep breath.
He turned back and looked south. Suddenly, a black spot appeared in his eyes.
Among the Chong clan's warriors, some began to stop. They stared at the black spot, and their eyes changed from happiness to surprise, and finally to shock.
"Is that... Tsudo?"
An extremely huge and bustling dock with thousands of warships docked quickly filled their field of vision like a huge object.
And on the pier, a huge wooden machine is particularly eye-catching!
The young man stared blankly towards the south, when someone called him.
"Wen Ming, come here, we are getting ready to dock!"
The person who asked him to come over was Shuizheng of the Chong clan. He was staring at the huge dock in the south. At this time, the young man asked in confusion.
"Didn't you say that the south is a barbaric land?"
Shuizheng opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Maybe... I just showed it to Zhongyuan, I don't want to lose face..."
