Chapter 12 Welcoming Spring

After being a country, he actually risked his life, Lu Yangjun was stunned when he heard this, and most of Zhu Zhu's people were stupid. At this time, the East China Sea cannot be regarded as stormy, but it is only February, and the northeast monsoon is still there, far from the time when the wind and waves are calm. The sea is not as good as the land, what accident is going to happen to Mi Xuan, how can this happen?

In Kaifeng, south of the Great Liang, the bored Xiong Jing woke up from sleep and found Naoxin. As soon as the news arrived, the content was that Ao Hou refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on sea trials with Zhouji. At this time, the trial voyage boat has arrived at the lighthouse island off the coast of Zhu Fang, and Da Ao is asked to go to persuade Yunyun as soon as possible.

Nao Xin said anxiously, Xiong Jing was a little surprised at first, but finally gradually regained his calm.

"Why not? And we will die here to resist a strong enemy, commit a white blade, and be blinded by arrows, and die in battle, and the corpse will bleed. ”

"But ......" Nao Xin's expression was complicated, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. Deng Sui, Zhuang Wudi and others were also shocked and surprised, and they wanted to persuade but didn't know how to dissuade them. The trial voyage is not a war, and women are not taboo. In fact, even if there is a war, as long as the women do not go to the battle line, there is no taboo in the army, and many of the division doctors are women.

After a while, Zhuang Wudi took the lead and shouted: "Ao Hou Xianye." ”

"Ao Hou Xianya." Including the left and right Ershi behind Xiong Jing, the people in the tent all shouted with Zhuang Wudi. Ao Hou sailed together, which was equivalent to the king and the soldiers fighting side by side. Those eight- and eleven-year-old boys who first entered the sea, even if they were afraid of the wind and waves, were not so afraid to see Ao.

Xiong Jing wanted to smile bitterly and worry when he heard this, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart and worry in his heart. The winds and waves of the continental seas are larger than the Yellow Sea, the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea larger than the East China Sea, except for the Yizhou Strait. The line from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Yangma Island is the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, and the wind and waves here are second only to the east of the East China Sea, and larger than the west of the East China Sea and the south of the East China Sea.

According to the records of the aviation school, when going to sea, you have to encounter wind and waves with a wave height of more than one and a half meters - the wind and waves in the East China Sea are more than one meter all year round. If the weather is bad when crossing Yangma Island, the wave height may exceed 7 meters, forming a wild wave with wind speed exceeding the 50 knots (force 9 gale) that can be navigated by the sea boat. Although the king boat is a five-oared war boat, it cannot withstand the beating of the waves, if the king boat is broken by the waves......

Xiong Jing first flashed the narrow Wang Zhou in his mind, and then swept over Wang Zhou's keel and ribs one by one, and even imagined the iron nails that went deep into the rib muscles of the keel. Soon the sea was covered with dark clouds, and the waves were eight meters high, and countless boats were smashed, and the boys in the boats were dressed in floating clothes, and dandelion pompoms were scattered on the rough sea. Wang Zhou was also broken by the waves, the boy's floating clothes could float on the sea, but Xuan'er's floating clothes were like iron, and as soon as she entered the water, she sank straight to the bottom of the sea.

"Xuan'er ——!" Xiong Jing screamed, woke up and couldn't see anything, and happened to be in the dark.

Hearing the shouts in the tent, Jiang quickly got up, walked into the tent and asked, "Is Da Ao okay?" ”

"What time is it?" Xiong Jing gasped, he was sweating all over, and when he woke up, he realized that he had just had a nightmare.

"It's almost dawn." Changjiang lit the candle, the candle flame dimmed, and he walked into the hourglass to see the hour.

"It's clear." Xiong Jing muttered. Thinking that the boat would set sail from Lighthouse Island after dawn, he sighed slightly. Intellectually, he couldn't call his wife back, she couldn't hide in the carriage and sobble like she did back then, she had to be alone now, strong enough to face everything. The sea trials are very good, and the sea trials face the wind and waves to get used to the wind and waves in the future.

"Da Ao, please drink the pulp." Under the candlelight, I saw Xiong Jing sweating all over his head, and Chang Jiang brought pepper syrup.

Xiong Jing sensibly told his wife that she was doing the right thing, and that she should now establish her prestige among the craftsmen and boys. She will not sink to the bottom of the sea as she dreamed in her dreams, she will live well and bring up her son. On the contrary, it is himself, the decisive battle with the Qin army, the Chu army will inevitably be annihilated, and he will break the promise made at the wedding time and die here with the whole army.

Chang Jiang brought the pepper paddle to Xiong Jing's chest, but Xiong Jingren, who was sitting alone on the bed, was already stunned and couldn't help himself.

*

The northeast wind blows in the East China Sea, turning white waves on the surface of the sea, breaking fine foam. Lighthouse Island, a rocky island that is 500 meters long from east to west and about 200 meters wide from north to south, is surrounded by boats of all sizes. The wind and wave resistant sea boats are anchored in the northeast, and they are lined up at intervals to drop iron anchors; They were followed by three-oared warboats, two-oared warboats, and the obsolete single-oared wings, which were moored in the space between the boats, and further inside were the big boats and the boats, and about a hundred fishing boats with their sails down.

Sea boats, war boats, and large boats form a simple breakwater to protect the small boats on the inside near the island. These boats have been nailed with leech nails as required, but they are still not resistant to wind and waves. Even if the boat is not scattered by the big waves, a wave of sea water will pour into the boat, and the whole boat will be half sinking and half floating.

But this was a sea trial, and the purpose of the test was to test the performance of the various boats and then try to improve them, so they still managed to sail to Lighthouse Island, and then to Yangma Island. If the boat sinks halfway, the boy in floating clothes will float on the surface of the sea, waiting for rescue.

'The lost boat, a pot (匏) thousand gold', this era is used as a lifesaver. It is a gourd, fragile, and finally the house is built using water pine wood as a life-saving floating clothing. The density of the wood used to boil the lid of the water bottle in later generations was only a quarter of that of water, and each life jacket guaranteed eight or nine kilograms of buoyancy, that is, each life jacket required 0.012 cubic meters of water pine.

This 0.012 cubic meter of water pine wood is mainly distributed in the upper body, so the thickness of the clothes behind the chest is up to ten centimeters. Bulky is bulky, but it is enough to float on the surface of the sea for people who don't know how to water.

Mi Xuan did not stay in Wang Zhou, but was invited to Lighthouse Island. Soon after leaving Zhu Fang, she began to get seasick. I continued to faint on Lighthouse Island, and the ground felt like waves even though it didn't move. She woke up before dawn, this is hungry, seasickness has been eating less and vomiting a lot in the past few days.

"Please have dinner after Ao." Qi Ni didn't know why she didn't get seasick, and when she saw that Qi Xuan woke up, she served the porridge that had been hot.

"How's Ling'er?" Mi Ling also came out, and her husband Zhu Zhu followed her and rowed a winged war boat out to sea.

"It's okay, I said I would sleep after dinner." After answering, Mi Ni said, "Please have dinner after Ao." ”

The porridge was delicious, and soon after eating, the sky became brighter, and the voices of Lu Yangjun and others came from outside again, "On the sea, the waves are dangerous, and the minister invites Ao Hou to return to the palace here." ”

"Zuo Sima's meaning, is that I am not as good as a child?" In the past four days, the persuasion of her subordinates made Mi Xuan not very annoyed, and she could only use cruel words to block the mouths of Lu Yangjun and others.

"I don't dare." Lu Yangjun said busily. "Empress Ao will try the voyage together, Da Ao will be displeased, and the minister will invite Empress Ao to return to the palace."

"Why is Da Ao displeased?" Mi Xuan asked with a smile. "Could it be that Zuo Sima understands Da Ao's heart better than me?"

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare." Lu Yangjun was speechless. Da Ao and Empress Ao are in love, how dare he, a courtier, say that he understands Da Ao's mind better than Empress Ao?

"The sky is already bright, if there is no hurricane, please ask Zuo Sima to give the order to set sail." Speaking of setting sail, Mi Xuan wanted to vomit again, but she forced the vomiting in her lower abdomen, and stood up and walked out of the room without the support of Mi Ni and others. Lu Yangjun and the others outside saw that she was also wearing a floating coat, and immediately lowered their heads.

"Ao Hou will try the voyage together, and Da Ao will inevitably condemn the ministers and others after knowing it." Shen Yin Shangfu lowered his body and said. "The minister invites Empress Ao to return to the palace here."

"I have already given it to Da Ao, and I have stated that I will test the voyage together, how can I condemn you and others? Yang or do you think Da Ao is unreasonable? Mi Xuan asked, hearing this, Shen Yinshang didn't dare to speak. I smell it, Xinying is built on the platform, its west is the sea and its east is the lake, there are many peach blossoms on the platform, and the spring is very beautiful. Today with the boy to sail out to sea, to Xinying to watch the peach blossoms, and the spring is different? ”

The arduous voyage is compared to the Shangsi Festival to welcome spring, the purpose is to see the beautiful peach blossoms near Xinying, only a woman can have such a magnificent and romantic imagination. Lu Yangjun, who strongly opposed Mi Xuan's going to sea, couldn't help but yearn for Xinying peach blossoms when he heard this, and completely forgot that to see those peach blossoms, he had to carry his life and cross the sea for thousands of miles.

"Zuo Sima, let's set sail." Mi Xuan's tone made Lu Yangjun unable to refuse, he sighed and nodded heavily.

"Ao Hou has a life: set sail for breakfast! Ao Hou has a fate: set sail for breakfast...... "At dawn, everyone on the boat was sleepy, and the boat that conveyed the order wandered between the boats and announced the order to set off.

Half an hour after the order was given, the king's boat, flying the three-headed phoenix flag, set sail, and it rowed in the gap between the boats. Mi Xuan stood on the deck, she didn't wear the floating coat anymore, nor did she wear the fox fur, just this pure white exhibition clothes. Wang Zhou moved forward steadily, thinking that her husband had said that you must let everyone see you. She took a few steps forward and stood at the bow of the king's boat.

The morning sun is rising, and she patrols every boat against the rising sun. The boys, who had been rowing for four days and getting seasick, turned their heads to look at the phoenix flag fluttering in the wind for a while, and also looked at her standing under the phoenix flag. Their cold hearts couldn't help but give birth to some warmth, and the next thousand miles of voyage were temporarily forgotten. They are no longer one person, one boat, they have hundreds of boats around them, and there is Ao Hou who went to Penglai with them.

"The sea boat lifts anchor!" Soon, the outermost moored boats heard the shout of anchoring, the thick iron anchors lifted from the sea, and the sails were slowly lowered, and they sailed in the direction of the rising sun.

"Anchor and anchor, warship and anchor! Anchor anchor, big boat anchor! After the sea boat lifts anchor, the war boat, the boat, the fishing boat, and the people's boat lift the anchor in turn, and the shouts of the boat officials are filled with it, and the voices of the people are noisy for a while, and the whole sea seems to be boiling.......
