Chapter 12 Welcome Spring
As a country, he was in danger. When the Lord of Luyang heard this, he was ashamed of a wooden chicken. Most of them were shocked. The East China Sea cannot be considered as surging winds and waves, but it was only February, and the northeast monsoon was still there, and it was far from the calm time. The sea was not as good as the land. What was going on in Mi Xuan? What was going to happen?
The bored Xiong Jing woke up from the south of Daliang and found Nao Xin. As soon as the news arrived, the content was that Empress Ao refused to listen to the advice and insisted on trial sailing with Zhouji. At this time, the trial sailing had arrived at the Lighthouse Island outside Zhufang. Please ask Dao to go and persuade Yunyun quickly.
Nao Xin was anxious, Xiong Jing was a little surprised at first, but finally he gradually returned to his peace.
"What's wrong with my descendants? And we will kill us here to resist the powerful enemy, attack the sword, cover the arrows and stones, and die in the battle, and hibernate the corpse and bleeding. Since she was the descendant of our Chu State, it was natural for her to test sail with the boats and oars."
"But..." Nao Xin looked complicated and couldn't say anything. Deng Sui, Zhuang Wudi and others were both surprised and surprised, wanting to persuade him but not knowing how to dissuade him. Trial voyage is not a war, and women do not make taboos. In fact, even if they are fighting, as long as women don't go to the battle personally, there is no taboo in the army. Many of the doctors in the army are women.
After a while, Zhuang Wudi took the lead and shouted, "Ao Houxian."
"Ao Houxian." The two historians behind Xiong Jing were all shouting with Zhuang Wudi. Queen Ao tried the voyage together, which was equivalent to the king fighting side by side with the soldiers. The eight-year-old boys who were eight or eleven years old had just entered the sea, and even if they were afraid of the wind and waves, they were not so scared to see Queen Ao.
Xiong Jing wanted to smile bitterly when he heard this, but if he wanted to worry, he could only smile bitterly in his heart. The wind and waves of the seas on the mainland are greater than the Bohai Sea, the Bohai Sea is greater than the East China Sea, and the South China Sea is greater than the East China Sea except the Yizhou Strait. The connection between the Yangtze River Estuary and Yangma Island is the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. The wind and waves here are second only to the east of the East China Sea, greater than the west of the East China Sea and the south of the East China Sea.
Xuan'er tried the sail together. According to the records of the aviation school, when going to sea, you will encounter winds and waves with a height of more than 1.5 meters - the winds 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 waves may be more than seven meters high, forming wild waves, and the wind speed exceeds the fifty knots that the sea boat can sail (level nine strong winds). Although Wang Zhou is a five-oat warship, he cannot withstand the slap of the wild waves. If Wang Zhou is smashed by the wild waves...
The narrow Wang Zhou flashed in Xiong Jing's mind first, and then passed through Wang Zhou's keel and ribs one by one, and even imagined the iron nails that penetrated deep into the keel's rib muscles. Soon the sea was covered with dark clouds, and the waves as high as eight meters rushed over. Countless boats were smashed. The boy in the boat was wearing floating clothes, and the dandelion pomros fell on the surging sea like a storm. Wang Zhou was also smashed by the wild waves. The boy's floating clothes could float on the sea, but Xuan'er's floating clothes were like huge iron. As soon as she entered the water, she sank straight to the bottom of the sea.
"Xuan'er-!" Xiong Jing shouted, and when he woke up, he could not see anything, and he was in the darkness.
The bill was thin. Hearing the shouts in the tent, the foreign minister of the tent Jiang quickly got up, walked into the tent and asked, "Is Da Ao safe?"
"When will it take?" Xiong Jing gasped, his whole body covered in sweat. When he woke up, he realized that he had just had a nightmare.
"Reported to Da Ao, it's almost bright." Chang Jiang lit the candlelight, and the candlelight was dim. He walked into the hourglass and saw the hour.
"It's clear." Xiong Jing murmured. He sighed slightly when he thought that the boat was about to set sail from Lighthouse Island after dawn. Rumorfully, he could not call his wife back, she could no longer hide in the carriage and sobbed like she did back then. She had to stand alone now and face everything with strength. The trial sail was good, the trial sail was faced with the wind and waves, and the future wind and waves were used to it.
"Da Ao, please drink the mud." Under the candlelight, Xiong Jing was covered in sweat, and ginger brought pepper mud.
Xiong Jing rationally told her that her wife was completely correct in doing this. She should now establish her prestige among craftsmen and boys. She would not sink to the bottom of the sea as she dreamed of in her dream. She would live well and raise her son. On the contrary, she would have been defeated by the decisive battle with the Qin army and the Chu army. She would have died here with the generals and soldiers of the army against the promises she had at the time. At that time, facing the news of her death, the person who was heartbroken was not herself, but her thin body.
The long ginger put the pepper paddle on Xiong Jing's chest, but Xiong Jing, who was sitting alone on the bed, was stunned and could not do so.
*
The northeast wind blows the East China Sea, and white waves are turned on the sea surface, making fine foam. Lighthouse Island, a rocky island with 500 meters long and about 200 meters wide from north to south, is surrounded by boats of all sizes. The wind and waves are berthed in the northeast, and they are lined up in a straight line to fall down the anchors; followed by three-pad warships, two-pad warships, and eliminated single-pad wings. They are anchored in the gaps between the sea boats, and further into the water are the big boats and big boats, and about a hundred fishing boats with sails falling.
Sea boats, warships, and large boats and fishing boats form a simple breakwater to protect small boats near the islands on the inside. These boats have been nailed with leece nails as required, but they are still not withstand the wind and waves. Even if the boats are not dispersed by the big waves, a wave of sea water will pour into the boat, and the entire boat is half sinking and half floating.
But this is a trial sail. The purpose of the test is to test the performance of various boats and then try to improve them. Therefore, these boats still forced to sail to Lighthouse Island and will then sail to Yangma Island. If the boats sink halfway, the boy in a floating garment will float on the sea and wait for rescue.
‘The boat lost in the middle, a pot (光) of a thousand gold’. In this era, 光 was used as a lifesaver. 光 was a gourd, which was fragile. In the end, water pine wood was used as a lifesaving float. The wood density used in the later generations for boiling water bottles was only one-quarter of the water. Each lifesaver guaranteed a buoyancy of eight or nine kilograms, which means that each lifesaver needed zero points, 012 cubic meters of water pine wood.
This 0012 cubic meter water pine wood is mainly distributed on the upper body, so the thickness of the clothes on the front and back of the chest is ten centimeters. It is bulky and heavy, which can make people who cannot water float on the sea.
Mi Xuan did not stay in Wang Zhou, but was invited to the Lighthouse Island. Shortly after leaving Zhu Fang, she began to feel seasick. She continued to feel dizzy when she got on the Lighthouse Island. The ground was obviously still, and she felt as rippling as the sea waves. She woke up before dawn. She woke up from hunger. She had been eating less and vomiting more in the past few days.
"Please give me a meal." Mi Ni was not seasick for some reason. When she saw Mi Xuan wake up, she served her hot porridge meal.
"How about Ling'er?" Mi Ling also came out, and her husband Zhu Zhu followed her and rowed a warship to the sea on a winged warship.
"Shang Hao, I said I would go to bed after dinner." Mi Ni replied again: "Please give me a meal."
The porridge was delicious, and the sky was getting brighter shortly after eating. The voices of Luyang Jun and others came from the outdoors again, "The waves are dangerous above the sea. I invite Queen Ao to come back to the palace here."
"The Zuo Sima's intention is that I, a woman, is not as good as a boy?" Mi Xuan was not very annoyed by the persuasion of the ministers over the past four days. She could only use harsh words to block the mouths of Luyang Jun and others.
"I dare not." Lu Yang Jun hurriedly said. "Empress Ao will definitely be unhappy when he tried the voyage together. I will ask Empress Ao to return to the palace."
"Why is Da Ao unhappy?" Mi Xuan asked with a smile. "Is it because Zuo Sima understands Da Ao's heart better than me?"
"I dare not, but I dare not." The Lord of Luyang was speechless. Da Ao and Empress Ao were in love. How dare he, a minister, say that he understood Da Ao's thoughts better than Empress Ao?
"It's already dawn. If there is no hurricane, please order Zuo Sima to set sail." When talking about setting sail, Mi Xuan wanted to vomit again, but she suppressed the vomiting in her abdomen. Without the support of Mi Ni and others, she stood up and left the room. When Lu Yangjun and others saw that she was also wearing a floating robe, they immediately lowered their heads.
"Empress Ao tried the voyage together, and Ao knew that he would definitely punish me and others." Shen Yinshang lowered his body and bowed. "I asked Empress Ao to return to the palace here."
"I have reported to Da Ao. How could I blame you for the trial sailing together? Do you think Da Ao is not aware of the truth?" Mi Xuan asked, and Shen Yinshang didn't dare to speak after hearing this. "I heard that Xin Ying was built on the platform, with the sea in the west and the lake in the east. There are many peach blossoms on the platform, and the spring is very beautiful. Now I tried sailing with the boy to go out to the sea and go to Xin Ying to enjoy the peach blossoms. What's the difference between waiting for the spring in Shangsi?"
The arduous voyage is compared to the Shangsi Festival to welcome the spring, with the purpose of viewing the beautiful peach blossoms near Xinying. Only women have such a magnificent and romantic imagination. The Lord of Luyang, who strongly opposes Mi Xuan going to sea, cannot help but yearn for Xinying peach blossoms when he hears this, and completely forgets that to watch those peach blossoms, you must carry your life and span the sea thousands of miles.
"Zuo Sima, let's set sail." Mi Xuan's tone made Luyang Jun unable to refuse. He sighed and nodded heavily.
"Empress Ao has his life: to set sail for early food! Empress Ao has his life: to set sail for early food..." In the Danming period, everyone on the boat was sleepy, and the small boat conveying the order to wander among the boat and declared the order to set off.
Half an hour after the order was issued, Wang Zhou, who was flying three phoenix flags, set off to sail, and it rowed in the gap between the boats. Mi Xuan stood on the deck, and she did not wear that floating garment or fox fur, just wearing this pure white dress. Wang Zhou moved forward steadily, thinking that her husband once said, you must let everyone see you. She walked forward a few steps and stood at Wang Zhou's bow.
As the sun rose, she patrolled every boat in front of the sun. After four days of rowing, the boys who were getting more and more seasick all turned their heads to look at the phoenix flag fluttering in the wind, and also looked at her standing under the phoenix flag. Their cold hearts couldn't help but feel warm, and the next thousand-mile voyage was temporarily forgotten. They were no longer alone, a boat, and there were hundreds of boats around them, and Ao Hou who went to Penglai with them.
"The sea boats set up their anchor!" Soon, the sea boats anchored on the outermost side heard the shouts of anchors. The thick iron anchors were lifted from the sea water, and the sails slowly descended, and they would sail towards the direction of the rising sun.
"Rise the anchor, raise the anchor, fighter boat, raise the anchor! Start the anchor, raise the anchor, big boat, anchor, fisherman boat..." After the anchor was raised, warships, big boats, fishing boats, and civil boats were anchored one by one, and the shouts of boat officials filled them. The voices were noisy for a moment, and the entire sea seemed to be boiling.
