"Get up!"

Zhen Qian's hand was raised, and he pointed to the wine bottle on the table and said, "It's windy on the river, take a sip of wine to warm up your body first!" ”

Seeing that Zhen Shi sat down and drank a few sips of wine, the river breeze was very strong at night, and it was no problem to blow for a while, but it was not good for the cold to enter the body after a long time. If the ship of Thousand Stones is not loaded with goods, it is no problem to fit seven or eight hundred people, but in this case, the ship will not be able to sail far, so the ship can accommodate up to five hundred people on the ship of Thousand Stones.

Zhen Qian didn't want to take so many people to the Wa Kingdom, he would empty all the people under Zhen Shi, and four hundred people was the upper limit. He and his entourage plus the officials and singers who were forced in by the government were less than fifty people, and eighty pulppers, who were recruited in Yangzhou and Runzhou, these people were specially responsible for rowing, Zhen Shi quietly sent two hundred and twenty people, and the remaining fifty people were distributed to the maritime merchants in Yangzhou, and before they left the Tang Dynasty, they had earned more than 2,000 yuan.

"Zhen Shi, I understand your intentions, and I also know your worries, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, this time the risk of going to the country is unpredictable, if it is not a last resort, I don't want to go to the country at this time, this is no way to do it?"

"But ......," Zhen Shi said.

"Listen to me!" Zhen Qian was very happy in his heart, but he didn't bring it out on his face, he glanced at the dark river and said, "Do you remember when I asked you to come to Jiangnan?" ”

"Remember! Zhen Shi didn't dare to forget, the master said, Datang has experienced more than 100 years of peace, and the internal crisis has long been in danger when it is in danger, it seems to be powerful but it is like a that has been hollowed out by termites, and it will collapse sooner or later, these Zhen Shi don't understand, but I know that what the master said must be reasonable, I went to Jiangnan to seek a refuge for myself and my clansmen! ”

"It's good if you remember!" Zhen Qian nodded with satisfaction, he didn't want to die in the troubled times, it was not impossible for him to take refuge overseas alone, but as long as he didn't want to be a savage and make a Tang version of Robinson come out, he must continue to bring the Tang people away from the Tang Dynasty and form a small society of his own, which is the real way to survive.

"It's not that I don't want to take you to the Wa Kingdom with me, if the time is half a year in advance, you have not laid a foundation in Jiangnan, and it is not impossible to take you to the Wa Kingdom, but now is the time for you to show your strength in Jiangnan, you go to the Wa Kingdom with me, Jiangnan will be because of you, the development will stagnate, how many things you can do in a year, maybe when I come back, you have found the first base, this year there may be a drought on both sides of the Huai River, it is the best opportunity to collect the displaced people, such opportunities are not many, I don't want to miss out on our development because of your departure, you understand? ”

"Zhen Shi understands", Zhen Shi still wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhen Qian was already a little displeased, he swallowed back what he still wanted to say.

"Let's go back! Be careful when doing things in the future, there are people from the secret spy department in every county, after the Yangzhou riots, the secret spy department may keep a closer eye on the homeless, and pay more attention to the observation when collecting the homeless, if the secret spy spies sneak into the island, remember not to touch them, as long as they don't let them spread the news? ”

"Got it! Take care all the way to the hosts! ”

Before thinking about progress, thinking about retreating, the thing that broke the kettle will only be used when it is forced into a desperate situation, and there should be no choice, so it will choose to fight to the death.

I don't have much time, but it's not yet time when I can't choose, the wise man will always leave a way back for himself, the three holes of the cunning rabbit are this reason, Datang can't stay for the time being, the secret spy department and An Lushan have noticed themselves, if they don't leave Datang, they will dig themselves out, a year's buffer time, it doesn't seem like much, but it's enough to adjust themselves.

The Qianshi sea ship is very large, this is relative to the Tang Dynasty envoy sea ship, except for the mast on the ship, the hull is only equivalent to the size of the ferry in later generations, and the space that can be used on the ship is not much, except for himself and the captain, everyone else has to be crammed into a cabin that is not much bigger than the pigeon cage, this is the real living conditions of the ancient sea ships.

Zhen Qian has a cabin of less than a dozen square meters inside and outside, the outside is the living room, and the bedroom inside is six or seven bungalows.

There are now two layers of guards inside and outside, not counting the other light and dark sentinels, and there are two dead Japanese soldiers standing outside the door. Zhen Qian had four dead soldiers, and the other two stayed in Yangzhou to continue to recuperate, and the dead soldiers brought to the Japanese country were one named Yamamoto Fifty-six, and the other was called Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and his own name in the Japanese country symbolized status, which is just like the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was originally called Zhu Chongba, and his father was called Zhu Wusi, just a code name, which is similar to being called a cat and a dog, and the situation of the inferior people in the Japanese country is similar, like Fujiwara Shuxiong, a name like Fujiwara Shuxiong, you know that it is a nobleman when you hear it.

The four Japanese want to have the surname Zhen with Zhen Qian, which is an honor, just like the surname of the slave and the master, it is also a kind of recognition, Zhen Qian has many surnames around Zhen, so the four Japanese are very envious. Zhen Qian promised them that after they had made great contributions, they could only take their surname Zhen, which made them very happy, and they very much hoped that the blind guy would jump out now.

The character of the Japanese warrior is very suitable for being a guard, this situation is generally easy to happen in a very barbaric tribe, their ideas are very few, and it is very simple, if you are good to him, he will be good to you, you save his life, he is ready to return his life to you, the reason is very simple.

Of course, this kind of thing can only happen at the bottom of the barbarian tribe, some things are very strange, the bottom of the barbarian tribe is very simple, but the upper barbarians are very cunning, this structure is very much like a pack of wolves, the head wolf is very cunning, and the other wolves only know to obey the orders of the head wolf.

It is very uncomfortable to sleep on the boat, the boat is like a cradle that keeps shaking, this is still by the river, to the sea, the sea boat will fluctuate more, everything needs a process of adaptation, this is why you must get on the boat in advance, not only yourself, but also other people. It took three months to send an envoy from Kyoto to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, not counting the time in the inland sea and the time on land, and the time spent adrift at sea was more than a month and a half, and without a strong body and firm faith, it was impossible to reach the Japanese country.

The next morning, Zhen Qian had a big dark circle under his eyes, and his spirit was a little sluggish. This situation is not one person, the situation of the officials and singers in the government is similar, only those sailors who beg for a living on the water all the year round are doing their own things step by step under Ke Ming's orders, and no one laughs at people like Zhen Qian, they have seen a lot of such people, if they can stand up at sea, they are qualified.
