When the horizon appeared in the telescope, Yun Hao felt a lot lighter all of a sudden. Having never experienced a storm, you will never know how vast and terrible the sea is. If the compass is not mistaken, the front is Lucheng Port, the home port of the Datang.

Lucheng is also called Yazhou, and there is a more thunderous name Sanya here in later generations.

Sunlight! Sand beach! Bikini! Or there is a love at first sight, and the fire is full of fire! None of this is the case!

It's not a tourist attraction these days. On the contrary, only those who have made a big mistake and are not treated well by the emperor will end up here. At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in Yazhou, and there were no high-end hotels. Some are just vast forests, and there are aborigines like savages.

To be honest, the aborigines of Hainan in these years are very much like Africans. The skin is dark, still with a bright black. Both men and women, as long as they are over thirty years old, their faces are covered with furrows. The skin on his body is extremely tough, and it has to fight with the bark of a tree. The general height is not more than 1.7 meters, and very few are below 1.3 meters. Of course, it's all about adults.

The hot weather makes these people shirtless all year round, and even women can only wear thin shirts. The two protrusions that were as thin as the chest were clearly printed on the shirt. No way, this place is just this weather. Many times, you don't need to sleep with a blanket at night. The sea breeze blew and became salty and wet, and the blanket became very heavy in just one night. The next day, you have to take the damp blanket outside to dry!

But there's one thing this place is a must, and that's mosquito nets. People with and without money are trying to get a mosquito net. Those who really can't afford it can only rely on smoking artemisia grass in the house. That taste...... Not only did mosquitoes not dare to come in, but even people were discouraged. There are many kinds of mosquitoes in Hainan, and there is a small mosquito that is known for its ferocious bite. With a bite, it's a bag the size of a fingernail. Don't look at the big bag, it's an itch that drills the heart. Yun Hao was bitten once, and the itch made people want to peel off the skin with a knife.

There is also a kind that is the size of a thumb cap. The sound of flying is terrifying, and the sting on the body is even more terrifying. Yun Hao hadn't been bitten, but according to the dog. There was a bite on my arm, and I felt a pain in my bones.

Mosquitoes are big or small, and this place is also rich in rats. I don't know how the rat in Yazhou grew so big, Yun Hao saw a mouse the size of a cat with his own eyes. As long as this thing is formed in a group, even dogs dare to bite it. Cats are definitely trembling in this place.

There are crocodiles often frequented by the seaside, and Datang calls this thing Jiao. Saltwater crocodiles, which are bigger, are characterized by their large size. It's so big that it swallows a person alive and effortlessly. Children who go to the beach to play, as long as they are gone, then the fuck is gone. If you want to find it again, the odds are almost zero. Perhaps the legend of the dragon eating man evolved from this thing.

Jiao is terrible, and there are even more terrible things in the near sea. The huge shark fin is exposed as if it were a sail. A crocodile of that size, as long as it is bitten by a shark, the sea surface is a cloud of blood mist. There is a folk legend that many fishing boats were overturned by sharks, and then the people on board were eaten alive by the man-eating demons.

Since you can't go to the sea, then Lao Tzu will farm on the shore. It's a pity that it still doesn't work!

I don't know where so many monkeys and wild boars came from, and they come out in groups in the fields at night. Sometimes, even during the day, people are not afraid. A large crop was spoiled overnight.

In short, this is a place that is seriously uninhabitable to humans.

Yun Hao watched the seagulls flying in the sky, listening to the waves of the sea constantly lapping the hull. What he wants to go to is such a place, and now Yun Hao feels that it is too fucking right to leave his wife and children in Guangzhou.

There are all kinds of things that are not here, but there are one things that are very good. The waterway has a wide water area and a deep draft of the wharf. And there's no fog all year round! This is rare, everyone knows that fog is a seafarer's nightmare. I couldn't see anything in front of me, and God knows if I would hit a reef or something. When the fog is heavy, it is possible to hit the coastal cliffs.

Tons of silver were smashed down, and the port of Yazhou was really beautifully repaired. It can be seen that neither Feng Ang back then nor Cheng Chumo later let the money go down the drain.

After walking off the boat along the rope bridge, Yun Hao still felt a little shaky. This is the sequelae of sailing, and it is definitely not a matter of a day or two to try to recover. I saw Cheng Chumo with an excited face. I haven't seen him for a few years, and Cheng Chumo has become a black charcoal head. If his hair is curled a little more, Yun Hao will treat him as an African brother.

"Humble duty to see the handsome!" Cheng Chumo took a group of generals and officers to give a salute, and they are now also General Yunlu with a rank. There is an old man who is a secretary of the ministry, and he is not happy to be promoted, I'm afraid it will be difficult!

"Thank you!" Yun Hao patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder, and the officers behind him also had many familiar faces. These are Li Wenzhong's old subordinates, because they were excluded by Li Jing, so they all joined the Marine Corps. Back then, I followed Yun Hao in the southeast coast and tossed a lot!

The military port was well repaired, and the cement wharf was sealed with large iron piers thicker than the waist of the majestic sea. The cable of the Datang is tied to it, and the Zhenhai and Dinghai are moored next to it. The two ships, which were also called giant ships back then, were like the difference between primary school students and kindergarten classes under the backdrop of the Datang.

The sun was shining on the concrete floor, and there was a stinging sensation in the eyes. As far as the eye can see, there are about three or four miles of the wall. It's fucking good these years, you can circle as big as you want, and anyone will come to you for trouble. Those natives will not, because at this time, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 natives on Qiongzhou Island. There are many more, living in the middle of the island and on the other side of the sea. The current Yazhou is not much different from a military city.

High up not far from the pier, a giant lighthouse stands there. At night, a large candle of butter is lit inside. The firelight will be refracted by the glass, emitting a dazzling expanse. The lost merchant ships and fishing boats relied on this lighthouse to show the way. For three years, the lighthouse has saved an unknown number of lives.

Leaning against the wall of the pier, there is a tall tower a few hundred steps apart. The wide wall was built like a city wall, and Yun Hao saw from a distance that there were soldiers patrolling back and forth on the wall with blades in hand. In the barracks, you can see the soldiers who are constantly training, and their dark muscles are shining in the sun.

"Yu Chi Baolin earns credit in the 100,000 mountains, you can build a nest for the sailor in this Yazhou. Not easy! Not easy! All these years, thank you for your hard work! Yun Hao felt that Cheng Chumo, General Yun Lu, was no easier than General Huaihua of Wei Chi Baolin.

"It's not hard! As you said, the docks in Yazhou will be one of the most important docks in Datang. In five years, such a pier can be built. The end will be very fulfilling! Cheng Chumo had a sincere smile on his face, no matter what his official position was, he was still a twenty-three-year-old young man.

Yun Hao patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder, and the feeling that Cheng Chumo brought him was much worse than that of Yu Chi Baolin. Compared with Yu Chi Baolin's publicity, Cheng Chumo is much more restrained. I really don't know, how can Cheng Yanjin, who is loud and unrestrained, raise such a son.

Although they are about the same age, Yun Hao is a real elder. Whether it is Cheng Yanjin or Wei Chigong, they are all brothers with Yun Hao. Therefore, Cheng Chumo is a junior gift to Yun Hao!

"The soldiers are good, this time I will stay in the South China Sea for a while. I heard that piracy in the South China Sea is quite rampant? Yun Hao glanced at the generals and officers behind Cheng Chumo, there was no way to keep this kind of thing secret. Even if the news of his coming to the South China Sea can be kept secret, how can you hide such a big Tang Dynasty. Lao Tzu is not David Copperfield!

"There are many pirates in the South China Sea, and the farthest ones are the pirates of the Tianzhu people and the pirates of the Persians. They all came with Persian and Tianzhu merchant ships, and there were some pirates with red hair and beards in the past year. These people are physically strong, and they are very good at fighting with horned helmets. Their ships are also fast! ”

"Do these people like to use axes?" Before Cheng Chumo finished speaking, Yun Hao scratched his head and said.

"That's right! These people love to use axes, and that kind of axe is very special. Cheng Chumo looked at Yun Hao very strangely, he was sure that the news should not have reached Chang'an.

"Can you come so far? It looks like the South China Sea is really going to be lively! Yun Hao shook his head helplessly, and came from thousands of miles to rob. Such a person who is full of international spirit should be encouraged. It's just that how did these bastards get here, could it be that they know to bypass the Cape of Good Hope in these years? Or ......, the Persians have already dug the canal?

"How is Zhang Zhongjian?" There shouldn't be many of those red-bearded guys, and besides, the scurvy alone will kill them. It's better to ask an old friend for news, after all, this guy is qualified to be a big trouble. God knows, what Zhang Zhongjian got from Li Jing.

"Uh......!" Cheng Chumo glanced back, leaned in front of Yun Hao and whispered, "I'll talk about this matter later!" ”

Yun Hao nodded, it seemed that there was something inconvenient for people to know.

Li Wenzhong was inspecting his old subordinates, and Liu Renliang was still on the boat. He was a man who was very adamant about the navy, and he slept on the ship even when he was in the harbor as long as he didn't have to.

"Lao Li! You old brothers haven't seen each other for many years, so let's have a good chat. Cu Mo, show me this port. The gold and silver sea smashed in, but Lao Tzu wanted to see what sound he heard. ”

"No!" Li Wenzhong bowed and promised, and Cheng Chumo immediately took Yun Hao in front of him and walked around the port.

Yun Hao waved his hand, and the vast sea stopped the people who followed. Cheng Chumo and Yun Hao walked on the wide pier one after the other, and everyone followed dozens of steps away.

"Let's talk about it! What happened to Zhang Zhongjian? I haven't seen you for a few years, can you say that you have become a sperm? Yun Hao turned his head and looked at Cheng Chumo in confusion and said.

"Zhang Zhongjian has gunpowder!" Cheng Chumo said very solemnly.

"Black powder, or new gunpowder?" The formula for gunpowder has been stolen by the Persians, in fact, this is also because the formula of gunpowder is too simple. Nitro gunpowder is not so easy, it requires a certain amount of chemical knowledge. Yun Hao didn't think that there would be anyone in this era who would be able to have such chemical knowledge.

"Black powder!" Cheng Chumo lowered his voice and said.

"Oh!" Yun Hao nodded, but the black powder was fine. Black powder and nitro powder are not comparable in power at all, and Yun Hao is confident that he will blow Zhang Zhongjian into the sky in a naval battle.

"They still have oil!" Cheng Chumo saw that Yun Hao was very calm, and hurriedly increased his weight!

"Kerose?" Yun Hao nodded, this is a bit troublesome. In naval warfare, the release of fire oil is still very scrupulous. After all, the ships of this year are all wooden ships, and there is a magic weapon such as fire oil, which will soon burn. Especially if this thing is left to burn the sails, the ship will quickly lose power. Unexpectedly, Li Jing sold Datang to this point.

There was no way to curse a dead man again, Yun Hao could only rejoice. Ships like the Datang, Zhenhai and Dinghai have no sails. The speed was also much higher than that of the sailing ships of this era, and even if there was oil, it should not be a problem.

"What is Zhang Zhongjian's strength now?"

"After having gunpowder and oil, Zhang Zhongjian was very arrogant. We suffered some losses, and the last general's ships were all sailboats. Compared with Zhang Zhongjian, there is no advantage. ”

"Avoid it! It's the right thing to do, don't fight with people! ”

"Zhang Zhongjian had a deputy of the Wa Kingdom, named Miyamoto Musashi. This man is a battle leader, and the pirates of the entire South China Sea are not his opponents. Two months ago, Zhang Zhongjian's troops even attacked the coast of Qiongzhou. A small fishing village of dozens of people was slaughtered! When the last general rushed over, it was already two days later. There are corpses everywhere! Those people were poor and had nothing to rob of. ”

"It's really arrogant, it's all arrogant like this. If Lao Tzu doesn't come, I'm afraid this cargo will invade the coastal areas of Guangdong. The coastline of Datang is vast, and people like jackals must not be allowed to get in. The South China Sea is so big, it's very troublesome for us to fight with them. "Yun Hao is not afraid of war, he is afraid that Zhang Zhongjian will play peek-a-boo with him in the vast South China Sea. The huge South China Sea, how can he arrest people. If you want to locate accurately, Yun Hao has to drumble up the satellite first.

"This should not be for the time being, and it is reported that Zhang Zhongjian is too domineering in the South China Sea. It has already caused dissatisfaction among other pirates, and it is said that the pirates in the South China Sea have a tendency to unite and fight Zhang Zhongjian. And I heard that the pirates of Persia also had gunpowder and oil. And they seem to have a lot of oil! Some time ago, the last general led people to exterminate a water village in Jiaozhi, and found more than a dozen boats of fire oil in it. The quality of the oil is even better than what we use. ”

Yun Hao rubbed his forehead, there is no way to do this kind of thing. Whoever makes this thing in the house!

"And! The fisherman is here! ”

"Fisherman? How did it come? ”
