Chapter 822: It's a Magical Country
However, he said that the carriage lent by Tian Xiu'er was worthy of being used by Han Yue back then, and the whole carriage was dragged by five horses at the same time, the wheels were rolling, and the sound of horses' hooves was sounding, although it was dragging a huge frame, but the speed was not much slower than that of a galloping horse.
Aya and the others left Niujia Town at sunrise, and by the evening they had already left Guanlong Road, and after a rough calculation of the distance, they ran for 370 miles.
One day, three hundred and seventy miles.
The horses pulling the cart did not show any weakness, and the passengers on the carriage did not feel tired, as if there were no bumps in the road, and they ran peacefully for hundreds of miles.
Aya was amazed, and the other six little girls were equally confused, they had also seen the big men riding in the carriage in their homeland, but the big man's carriage was definitely not as good as this one.
In the end, the coachman proudly explained, pointing to the tires of the carriage and telling Aya and the others, saying that this is something called rubber, which can minimize bumps, and the carriage is also equipped with shock absorbing springs to eliminate the last bumps.
Rubber tires?
Shock springs?
These terms made the little girls look at each other, and Aya took out a roll of sheepskin and wrote it down respectfully, and she even wrote and drew around the carriage, and it took a long time to draw the sketches of the whole carriage.
The coachman did not stop him, on the contrary, he had a smug look on his face, he knew that this was the matter of the scholars, and His Majesty's carriage had obviously shocked these scholars.
He began to rack his brains to reminisce, trying to tell everything he had heard about the carriage, not for show-off, but for glory.
As a former charioteer of Emperor Zhaowu, he considered himself the most glorious figure of his time.
"Noble people, do you know ......?"
The coachman coughed, began to explain with a red face, and said loudly: "Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains, the Son of Heaven can only drive the six royals, and then the princes can ride the five royals, and the Qingjue can only drive the four royals. ”
These statements are the rules of the Central Plains, and Aya and the others obviously don't understand it, but Aya still carefully recorded it, and wrote everything the coachman said on the parchment scroll with a pious face. She was such a good scholar that she wrote travelogues even in the most difficult times.
It was dusk, and it was not suitable to rush again at night, so the driver drove directly into a small town, and then planted the flag on the front of the car with pride.
The sun sets, the evening breeze is blowing, this flag flutters and sways in the wind, it is embroidered with gold and silver thread with eight big characters, it can be said that the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, it can also be said that the golden hook iron painting, in short, the golden glittering eight big characters are very energetic, with this frame is more noble and extraordinary.
"King Zhao of Xifu, the frame of the king!"
Eight words, a flag, needless to say, the coachman just sat quietly at the front of the car and waited.
His eyes looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, and his body was leaning lazily on the carriage, if this scene was seen by Han Yue, he might have kicked him and scolded him for pretending to be like a hand.
However, strangely, a group of people suddenly rushed to the town, some of them were already in good shape, but their eyes were still shining.
This kind of essence is familiar to some people, this is the look of blood that has been on the battlefield before, and many people have excitement and excitement on their faces.
Puff, puff!
Seven or eight people fell directly to their knees in the dust.
Although the body is a little fat when he is middle-aged, his chest is still straight and high.
They knelt down on one knee and looked at the carriage, and then shouted in unison at the same time, almost roaring and shouting out a paragraph: "The three guards of Xifu are pro-soldiers, bow to the commander's frame, I can't imagine that after ten years, we finally see these two carriages again......"
At that time, Han Yue built a 100,000 town in the Tang Dynasty to resist the rule of the grassroots officials of the family gate, and the mayors of that group of big towns were all soldiers under his command, and many of them even served as Han Yue's guards.
Ten years have passed in a hurry, Han Yue has gone to Lingnan, and these pro-soldiers have also resigned from their military duties, but they have never forgotten their military experience in their hearts, and they can't forget the figure of the young commander.
The coachman was still lazily leaning on the side of the carriage, he held his arms with both hands, and his eyes scanned the people on the ground one by one, after a long time passed, the coachman suddenly laughed and shouted: "Li Ergouzi, Sun Laobiao, Li Aniu, Li Ahu, I didn't expect you to change too, all of them have become official masters......
Seven people knelt on one knee on the ground, and they all laughed when they heard the words, and someone picked up a piece of dirt from the ground and smashed it viciously, scolding with a smile: "You are still a tamper, don't you plan to change careers in this life?" ”
They were all Han Yue's most intimate subordinates back then, the soldiers and the coachman were naturally very familiar with each other, they hadn't seen each other for ten years, and the friendship was the same as before, the coachman jumped off the frame, hugged and laughed with several former robes.
This night, this town, lively and jubilant, all night long.
Then, early the next morning, the coachman drove the carriage on the road again, and the officials of the seven large towns saw it off from afar, until the carriage was still unwilling to turn back.
In this way, Han Yue's carriage carried Aya and others all the way south, out of Guanlong, across Henan, through the edge of Shandong, and then drove into Jiangsu, and slowly entered Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Twenty-four days along the way, there is a reception everywhere, as long as the flag on the car is displayed in the wind, there must be a personal soldier to greet it.
Aya and the others fled all the way from the West to Middle-earth, living a panicked life all day long, how could they have seen such a scene, how could they have enjoyed this kind of treatment.
In the West, they will be burned at the stake at any moment!
In Datang, they are greeted respectfully wherever they go!
The reason why this respect was so sincere was simply because of a carriage that Han Yue had used, and Aya and her friends were becoming more and more eager, and they were eager to meet the legendary majesty.
After the carriage sent them to Jianghuai, it was no longer suitable to take the land route, so the coachman personally took Aya and the others to find a big ship, and then said goodbye and drove away.
got on the boat, Aya and the others were still courteous.
This ship belonged to the Jianghuai official ship caravan, and the original founder was Ren Jing, Aya and others had letters written by Han Yue, and they were once again regarded as honorable people by the ship.
The fleet went south along the Grand Canal, and then turned into another waterway to continue its journey, the wind blows and the sails are lifted, and Aya will stay at the bow of the ship every day, carefully recording the events along the way with her friends.
They passed through the foothills, and there was a loud rumbling sound in the mountains, Aya and her friends turned pale with fright, and then they were told by the boatmen with pride: "That's the road construction team bombing the mountain, Lingnan and Datang are going to build a railway......"
The boatman said: "This road is the take-off road of the Han people, the road is more than 9,000 miles long, starting from Lingnan, passing through the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then running through the north and south, directly to the grassland. This route is jointly invested and built by the Chinese Empire and the Tang Empire, the Chinese Empire is seventy percent, and the Tang Dynasty is three percent, if the funds are not enough, the gap is partially made up for the grassland, and the two Majesties are ambitious, and the subjects under their command are fighting bravely to be the first, this road must be built! ”
Aya and the others were very shocked, looking at the mountains at the foot of the foothills and constantly admiring, there was a little girl with a great personality, and couldn't help but ask: "How can such a high mountain be blown up?" When will the more than 9,000-mile road be completed? ”
The boatmen laughed, and said loudly: "No matter how difficult it is, we must build roads, Your Majesty once made a bold ambition, if there are mountains and rivers blocking this road, then it will blow up the mountains and rivers in one fell swoop, if there is a big river intercepted on this road, then it will cross the big river in the air, no matter how difficult it is, we must build roads, under the sky of China, nothing can stop the people of the Han family......"
Aya was secretly speechless, and then took out the parchment scroll again, and carefully wrote it down, she had a dream in her heart, to write her travelogue into a huge book, and then find a way to send it to her homeland in the West, so that those fat-headed and big-eared nobles would know what the East was.
The fleet continued to move south, during which several large rivers were changed, and Aya and others saw that many large rivers had bridges built, and some bridges were all made of steel.
They stood on the boat and crossed the steel bridge, looking up at the bridge above them with admiration, and there were many inscriptions on the bridge, which read clearly as a majestic poem.
"A bridge flies north and south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare......"
Although Aya can speak Chinese, she doesn't know much about the poetry of the Central Plains, but she can still read a strong sense of confidence and domineering from this poem, and she is more curious about His Majesty Lingnan in her heart.
The fleet continued to move forward, and finally entered the Lingnan boundary, when the scenery in front of me suddenly changed, but the rice on both sides of the river was verdant, and the fields were all as far as the eye could see.
The breeze blows, pushing countless waterwheels along the river, and the ditches on both sides of the fields are full of water, irrigating the rice day and night.
"What a rich place......
Aya kept marveling, clasping her hands to her chest, and she would occasionally look to the west, whispering the teacher's name in her mouth. She hopes that the teacher can take a look at this kind of scene and let the teacher know that there is a rich and beautiful country in this world.
The fleet finally entered a large river, and the speed gradually became faster, so Aya and the others began to become dizzy, and they could see new things every moment.
For example, in the distance on the riverside, there is a huge factory covering an area of thousands of acres, with high chimneys reaching into the sky, and countless vehicles loading goods at the factory gate.
It was all fine iron, car after car of fine iron, and there were countless vehicles loaded with fine iron, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
"How much iron does this have?"
The friends exclaimed, Aya was also full of sluggishness, they remembered their homeland, Europa is still a castle economy, the people in the country are poor, and only the nobles can use the iron pot.
Even the weapons of the army are rarely made of iron, and many knights still use wooden guns, but the iron tools in the east have been drawn into carts.
Aya saw more factories, and she kept chasing the boatmen to explain to her, so she knew what a new brick kiln was, what a glass factory was, she knew that porcelain was made of clay and paper, and she knew that coal was a stone dug out of the ground.
The fleet was fast, and Aya was dizzy along the way, her parchment rolls had run out, but there was more to remember, and the boatmen brought her beautiful paper, the white color that she was reluctant to use.
But knowledge is priceless, and Aya can't forgive herself for missing a little thing, she shouts tears full of reluctance, and writes her travelogue with a pen on a piece of beautiful white paper.
This kind of paper has never existed in their homeland, and no one has ever used this kind of paper, whether it is in the past or among the nobles.
No matter how far the road is, there will be an end, no matter how much you desire, you can finally realize your dream, this day the sky is vast, the fleet finally began to dock, Aya and her friends stood by the boat with excited expressions, and only saw a huge pier as far as the eye could see.
There was a crowd of people, and there were flags waving, and Aya noticed that there were countless military formations lined up on the dock, and she was shocked by the vigorous heroism of those warriors.
There is a long knife in everyone's waist, which can be seen in the light, and behind it is the legendary arquebus, and there is a divine arm crossbow hanging on the arm.
This is the Xifu Sanwei, the world-famous Xifu Sanwei, Aya Annai couldn't help the excitement in her heart, and hurriedly took out a pen and paper and began to write.
Then her little friend discovered something even more powerful.
It was five huge warships, all made of steel, with huge main guns in the bow and a hideous muzzle. The boatman who was in charge of transporting them suddenly laughed, and walked over with an excited expression: "I didn't expect to hurry up and hurry, and finally caught up with the big day when the ocean-going fleet went to sea, your luck is good, all the ministers of the empire have come to see them off today, and even our Majesty Zhaowu will come......"
Your Majesty Zhaowu, Han Yue?
Aya's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but run to the bow of the boat and pull the side of the boat to look, but she only saw the heads of people shuttling at Nuoda Pier, and even if she tried her best to see which one was the emperor.
At this time, a herald suddenly came over on the dock, and then shook his temperament to pilot the fleet, and the boatmen hurriedly docked according to the guided route, but left one person to explain to Aya and the others.
"Today, the ocean-going fleet is going to sea, and civilian ships are not allowed to enter the military port at the wharf, so we need to anchor and go ashore here, and then go along the wharf to that side ......"
Aya's tone was a little urgent, and she blurted out hurriedly: "Then can I see Your Majesty?" Can you meet Emperor Zhaowu of the Chinese Empire? ”
The boatman thought for a while, then chuckled, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the pen and paper in Aya's hand, and then said with a solemn face: "Although the villain doesn't know why His Majesty invited you, but I have seen that you are a learned person along the way, Your Majesty is the sage of our Middle Earth, known as having the knowledge of the heavens and the earth, I think he is willing to see you, Your Majesty, his personality is very gentle......"
Aya's heart was pounding again, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the big pier in front of her, and she saw a sea of people, which reminded her of something a long time ago.
That year, their mentor was tied to the stake, and there were crowds of onlookers, and several of their little girls chose to flee in panic.
Aya suddenly panicked, she quietly buttoned her coat and hat, the weather in Lingnan was a little hot, but she didn't dare to lift her hat.
She's afraid of being burned!
She didn't know if the legendary emperor would be able to accept her identity.
Bang –
The big boat shook slightly, and finally approached the shore, the boatman suddenly said in a surprised tone, and said with a shocked face: "Hey, I didn't expect your identity to be so extraordinary, a lady from our Huaxia Empire came to pick her up in person, this lady used to be the master of our fleet, I haven't seen her show up for more than two years......"
Aya was slightly stunned and turned her head to look at the shore!
She saw an elegant woman smiling faintly at her by the side of the boat, and the smile was very gentle, which made Aya a little less nervous.
It seems, here will not burn itself!
