Chapter 1020: Mo Chou and the Devil

Biqu Pavilion ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of struggle in the Tang Dynasty!

From Seokqiao Town to Silla, you have to have the right wind direction to set off, and it will take half a month later. However, it is different when you go to Peach Blossom Island, and you can go at any time.

Peach Blossom Island is the famous Juehua Island in later generations. Originally, no one knew about this place, but later, Cui Geng was appointed as the governor of Dingzhou, and he was afraid that the Turkic Sai Xiulun would retaliate against him, so he ordered the Freemasons to hide troops here, and it gradually became known.

Because Juehua Island has a large area, beautiful environment, convenient transportation, and no official tax, many maritime merchants regard this place as a transit station.

Now the three major maritime merchants of Datang have convened a meeting of all maritime merchants, and of course they have chosen the location here.

Three days later, Jin Muhua, Jin Xiaorui, Cui Geng and others took a boat and came in the direction of Peach Blossom Island.

Of course, this is a meeting, not a war, and you can't bring too many people. Including sailors and servants, Jin Muhua and his party totaled thirty people.

Cui Geng, Zang Xilie, Wu Zhi, and He Lou Aoqing were all allowed to board the ship, and it seems that Jin Muhua really attaches great importance to him.

Cui Geng thought darkly, was Jin Muhua afraid that he would hook up with Yu's widow~ woman and cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he arranged so many people to pass with him, so that he could contain him at any time.

But no matter how you think about it, he still has to show gratitude for the arrangement.

……

……

On the Bohai Sea.

Jin Muhua pointed to the north and said, "Mr. Cui, please look, if you walk six or seven miles, you will arrive at Peach Blossom Island, where the trees are verdant, the wild flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is quite good." ”

Cui Geng built a pergola and looked into the distance, only a small black dot was seen, and I didn't know if it was Peach Blossom Island.

He changed the subject; "There are a lot of wealthy businessmen from all walks of life who have landed on the island, and we only brought thirty people, is it a little less?"

Jin Muhua smiled slightly and said, "What?" Mr. Choi is worried about the messengers of Silla and Fuso? Rest assured, the navies of these two countries did not dare to dispatch, and they had to come on the ships of maritime merchants. As long as you are a maritime business, you have to abide by the rules set by the three families. ”

"So, they don't bring many people?"

"It's just not much." Jin Muhua said proudly: "Ordinary maritime merchants are only allowed to take a small boat of 300 stones with 20 people, and only 50 relatively large maritime merchants are allowed to take a big boat of 500 stones with 30 people. Our ship is pretty good. ”

"Then Fourth Master Jin, your strength is quite good among maritime merchants, isn't it?"

"Hehe, it's not enough than the top, it's just more than the bottom."

"But......" Cui Geng stretched out his hand and said, "What's going on with the boat in front?" Seem...... It's much bigger than our ship. ”

In fact, Cui Geng was conservative when he said this, to be precise, this boat was much bigger than all the ships he had ever seen.

This ship is about 20 zhang long, 67 zhang wide, and 67 zhang high.

Although the ship is large, it is not slow. Just now, the ship was a mile away, overtaking Jin Muhua's ship at an extremely fast speed, heading in the direction of Taohua Island.

"You mean this ship......

Jin Muhua couldn't get up, and said: "We can't compare this ship, this is the ship of the widow ~ Yu, the family is one of the three major maritime merchants, and it can bring a thousand people to the island." ”

"Widow Yu~ woman's ship? Then it is not surprising. Belch...... I am from Quanzhou, and I have never seen the world, but I have never seen a big ship above 10,000 stones. This widow ~ woman builds ships, but what is the trick?

Jin Muhua smiled bitterly: "It's not just a trick, people's shipbuilding skills are unparalleled in the world." If it weren't for the shipbuilding and just for her own use, I am afraid that the shipyard business in the world would have to be robbed by her. Seeing that there was no big ship just now, there were three or four hundred sailors alone, and when they were used to transport goods, every time they went out, they could earn more than 10,000 yuan. We're nowhere near it! ”

"I see."

Suddenly, Cui Geng's heart moved, and he said: "Then Silla and Fusang want to win over Widow Yu~, I'm afraid not only to let her transport forbidden things, but also to get her shipbuilding method, right?" Naval warfare is nothing more than the victory of large ships over small ships, and the victory of many ships over few ships. ”

"A big ship is better than a small boat, and more ships are better than a few boats?" Jin Muhua glanced at Cui Geng and sighed: "This sounds ordinary, but in fact, it breaks through the fundamental truth of naval warfare. Cui Guang, you really impress me. ”

Only then did Cui Geng think that the so-called operational theory of "a big ship is better than a small ship, and more ships are better than a few ships" was summed up by Yu Dayou, an expert in water warfare during the Ming Dynasty. Now for Jin Muhua, a sea merchant, it is really a bit shocking. ,

He snorted and said, "I'm just talking about it casually, what other profound truth can I not do?" What do you think? Let's fool Yu widow~ woman, no problem, right? ”

mentioned Widow Yu~Woman, Jin Muhua was instantly diverted and said: "Yes, if you keep this state, you may really be able to get the heart of Widow Yu~." ”

……

While speaking, Peach Blossom Island was already in sight.

The maritime merchants had already built a dock that could dock a dozen ships at a time. However, Widow Yu~'s boat is too big, and now only one boat can accommodate Jin Muhua.

Cui Geng and the others set up a springboard and stepped ashore, but no one greeted them.

Originally, this was nothing, but I was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I was afraid of comparing goods. Looking from afar, the widow ~ woman who came to greet him was afraid that there would be no one or two thousand people.

But there are so many people, not noisy, just looking forward to it. For the unruly and unruly maritime merchants, it is too rare.

I don't know if it's Naqiao or what, but the widow ~ woman Yu didn't get off the ship, and the sailors and guards on the ship all looked solemn, lined up in several teams on the first class, each pressing their blades, majestic and murderous.

Zang Xilie couldn't help muttering: "Grandma's, this widow ~ woman is so majestic." Could it be that she is a female devil who kills people without blinking? ”

His voice was loud, and although he muttered, it was by no means small.

A person not far away listened, stretched out his hand, and shouted, "Bold! Dare to be unreasonable to Yu Niangzi! ”

Swish!

Suddenly, Cui Geng and his entourage became the focus of attention of the audience.

The person who shouted just now looked to be about twenty years old, with a tall figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, white teeth and red lips, and he spoke Chinese extremely purely.

He pulled out his sword, stepped forward, pointed at Zang Xilie, and said, "It's you?" Did you insult Yu Niangzi's reputation? I'm going to duel you! ”

Although Zang Xilie's IQ is not high, he also knows that the person who Jin Siye has to stammer, is far from being something he can offend.

He stiffened his neck and said, "Little white face, you look good, but why are your ears so bad?" When did I say bad things about Yu Niangzi? ”

"Hmph, you said that Yu Niangzi is the female devil, many people have heard it, do you dare to deny it?"

"Nonsense, when did I say that Yu Niangzi was a female devil? I'm right...... It's ......"

He didn't have any urgency, and squinted at Cui Geng.

Cui Geng naturally couldn't ignore it, and said, "My brother is right, that ...... Female Mo Chou, you heard this son wrong. ”

The Fusang boy was slightly stunned and said, "Huh? Who is the female Mochou? ”

Cui Gengzhen said with words: "This woman Mo Chou is a strange woman. According to legend, he was a native of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, beautiful as a fairy, fond of singing and dancing, and was instructed by Qu Yuan, Song Yu and others. Emperor Wu of Liang once wrote a poem for her: The water in the river flows eastward. Luoyang's daughter's name is Mo Chou. Mo Chou thirteen can weave Qi. Fourteen Caisang Nanmo head. Fifteen married as the wife of the Lu family. Sixteen children are born with the word Ahou ......"

Regarding the origin of Mo Chou Nu, Cui Geng is really not nonsense, even if people have never heard of Mo Chou Nu's reputation, they all nodded their heads when they heard him say it with a nose and eyes.

However, the Fusang boy suddenly patted his hand twice and said, "Okay! Well said! May I ask this gentleman, since he is a "female devil", I have become a female Mo Chou. What is the explanation of the five words "killing people without blinking"? ”
