People always change.
In this world, all people from birth to growth, then to maturity, and finally to decline, have a process, and anything in this process will determine the future direction of this person.
In addition to Fei Qian.
If someone checks Fei Qian's life trajectory in detail, he will find that he has a very strong sense of tearing, and the first half of his life cannot support such great changes in his later period.
There are actually many people who have this sense of tearing in history. They really need to pursue everything in the Ganges, and history will not develop into what they look like in later generations. For example, Xiang Yu was trapped, exhausted soldiers, and lost his morale. According to those who stole the Ganges, it should be reasonable to surrender. But in such a weak situation, Xiang Yu led the three thousand soldiers and almost killed the numerous encirclements of Liu Bang!
There is also the great magician Liu Xiu.
But it is obvious that Sun Quan has no adventures now, so he can only endure it.
He is not a genius. He has no way to break through the siege like Xiang Yu, no way to summon meteors to fall like Liu Xiu, and he has no way to accumulate information like Fei Qian, so he can only grow step by step with his own experience.
A dynasty will always have some outstanding leaders, but in the same way, they are more mediocre people.
Sun Quan's ability is not too bad, nor is it very good either.
It’s just that Sun Quan himself did not agree with this before.
Until his reliance is destroyed.
He must face the storm in order to truly realize the cruelty of the world and understand the sinisterness of the world. These sinisterness often existed in his parents' chants and his perfunctory verbal responses, and never really took them to heart.
Even if Zhou Yu did not come to report, Sun Quan had some ways to learn about the outside world.
Zhou Yu came here just to show his attitude to the outside world, and to still express his loyalty to Sun Quan, so that the Sun family could feel at ease. From this point of view, Sun Quan had to bow his head to express his gratitude and respectfully called Zhou Yu "Governor".
Now, he is no longer qualified to play a tantrum...
All small things must be hidden.
Sun Quan watched Zhou Yu's back disappear and went back with his head down.
Although Sun Quan said he would be filial for three years, in most cases it would only take half a year, or about a year, and then he would take the love out of the mountain after the invitation of the ministers in Jiangdong again and again.
Before this, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others, as well as various wealthy families in Jiangdong, had to see Sun Quan's changes and then accept Sun Quan again, otherwise there would be changes.
Sun Quan is now like forging a sword.
Re-cooked and recasted.
Use heaven and earth as the furnace.
The suffering in the world is the firewood.
Their emotions are bulging into the anvil, and fire is splashed everywhere.
On the other hand, Lu Su was waiting for Zhou Yu at the foot of the mountain. After Zhou Yu went down the mountain, he walked together.
Suddenly, some light rain began to float in the sky, not heavy, but it was so wet around.
The rain in early spring is still a bit cold.
After entering the city, Lu Su said, "I'll let the cook kill the sheep and have two drinks together."
Zhou Yu nodded.
Jiangdong's economic recovery is reflected in many aspects.
Ordinary people are like weeds. As long as they are relieved a little, they will grow vigorously. The planting and breeding industry has also recovered a lot, and cattle and sheep are not as scarce as in the previous stage.
Of course, for example, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, there is no problem with eating cattle and sheep.
The drizzle was flying.
Zhou Yu and Lu Su sat in the yard, waiting for the cook Ding to cook the sheep.
The entourage first served some wine and side dishes, and then left.
Lu Su poured wine for Zhou Yu himself, and the two of them drank a glass.
"How is the lord's mood?" Lu Su asked.
Zhou Yu rubbed the wine glass, "Shangke."
Lu Su was silent for a while, "How should the governor deal with Sun Zhonglang?"
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there are still people jumping around among the Sun family, and the happiest one is Sun Hao.
Zhou Yu was holding side dishes in his small bowl. When he heard Lu Su's words, his movements became slightly stiffer, and then he returned to normal and said, "That's something that the lord should think clearly and deal with."
Lu Su nodded and said, "But this is a hidden danger after all."
Zhou Yu did not answer.
『Then...Bo Fu's orphan..." Lu Su said again, 『This matter also needs to be dealt with...』
Zhou Yu put down his chopsticks, looked up at Lu Su and said, "This matter... I don't think it was done by the lord... Why, do you also suspect it was done by the lord?"
"I don't think the lord is like this," Lu Su picked up the dishes from the bean plate and gave Zhou Yu a dish, "But the problem is, this matter is very troublesome. It's very troublesome..."
Lu Su emphasized.
Zhou Yu was silent.
There is drizzle floating in the sky, flying in the spring breeze.
Some of them touched the leaves, and some of them floated under the eaves.
The courtyard of Lusu is not too remote. Through the walls, you can still hear the voices of people in the market in the distance.
Zhou Yu seemed to have not heard Lu Su's words, but just looked up and looked quietly at the drizzle falling from the sky. After watching for a long time, he slowly said: "Prime Minister Cao, I killed many people in Xu County before..."
Lu Su frowned, his eyes turned, and understood what Zhou Yu meant. He was about to say something, but he saw two or three followers carrying a pot of mutton soup around the kitchen in the backyard, and kept silent.
White air was emitting from the mutton soup.
The drizzle also seemed to bring out some warmth.
Lu Su waved his hand and asked the servant to retreat, but he personally took mutton for Zhou Yu to cook in the soup pot.
Zhou Yu poured wine into Lu Su's wine bowl, and then without waiting for Lu Su to answer the previous question, he directly said: "Is this mutton soup cooked according to the method of the cavalry?"
Lu Su smiled and nodded, "The cavalry is not only good at military and political affairs, but also good at food. Chang'an Sanfu, Qiang boiled Hu roast, and noodles with buns can make people sigh that their belly is too small and there are many delicious dishes."
Zhou Yu laughed and suddenly said, "Then look at who will be in this world?"
Lu Su was stunned for a moment, "How can I make sure of such a major event in the world?"
Zhou Yu slowly took a sip of mutton soup, "If the situation is gradually becoming three points today... Besides, the big man has been fighting for a long time... You can tell from Jiangdong that no one likes to fight. As long as there is no war, people's livelihood will immediately improve... The big man has already shed a lot of blood, including the Sun family. If he continues to fight, there will be no winner in the big man."
Lu Su was silent for a long time.
The two drank the soup silently.
The mutton soup tastes delicious and makes the wine look lighter.
It’s like eating apples and then eating other things, it feels like something is sore.
The two of them ate silently, eating a little silently, and not drinking too much wine. It was not until the mutton in the pot was over and the soup was bottoming out, and Zhou Yu spoke again.
"The battle between the Han Dynasty was very widespread, and it was no longer a city or a place, or something like Guanzhong, Xiliang, Jiyu, Shandong, etc. The longer the battle, the more impetuous people's hearts became..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "Then the pain is deeper, and it may not be forgotten by the last few generations... nor can he restore the original grand occasion of the Han Dynasty...
"After all, the emperor is the emperor. Without the emperor, there will be no great man." Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su and said, "The cavalry is very good, and the prime minister is not bad. They will eventually have a big battle. Now, it is the time for Jiangdong to choose..."
There are options in Jiangdong or not.
Of course, not choosing is actually a choice at some point.
"The guys like Jiangdong are not fools," Zhou Yu sighed, "But that's why they are unwilling to suffer losses. But the problem is here... In the world, there is nothing you can do without losing, and you can only benefit? Even if you benefit in the short term, what about the long term?"
Lu Su also sighed: "But most people can only see the benefits in front of them."
Zhou Yu looked up and looked into the distance, "So I admire the cavalry very much."
Lu Su glanced at Zhou Yu and found that Zhou Yu had a look of longing on his face. This expression had been seen by Lu Su before. It was when Lu Su came back from Guanzhong and told Zhou Yu about everything he saw. At that time, Zhou Yu also showed almost the same expression as he is now.
Perhaps what Zhou Yu said was admired was because the Cavalry did what Zhou Yu originally wanted to do?
Even doing better...
"Governor..." Lu Su said slowly, "But Jiangdong, after all, it's still Jiangdong. Just as everyone in the world knows that Prime Minister Cao has taken the emperor hostage, and the emperor has never had real authority... Some things... really don't depend on you and me..."
Zhou Yu lowered his head and his eyes turned cold: "These sworms...even if there are some inconspicuous commotions, I will clear them in the shortest time..."
Lu Su asked: "Even if it's a member of Sun's family?"
Zhou Yu was silent for a while, "I said that Prime Minister Cao killed many people before..."
…(*`ェ′*)…
Jiaozhi.
The Han Dynasty's Protectorate of the South China Sea.
Haha, of course, this title was granted by Liu Bei himself, and it was not reported.
Just like a small company in a corner of later generations also created the title of the president of the board of directors.
The South China Sea Protectorate, well, I will give you some face to Uncle Liu for the time being, just call it that. It is under the Jiaozhi Governor's Mansion, mainly responsible for fishery production and maritime transportation.
After all, Jiaozhi has relatively few land and many insects.
If Liu Bei hadn't had many tricks to deal with insects in Sichuan and Shu before, I would have been "the middle way of death" on the road, so sometimes Liu Bei thought of Fei Qian's meaningful smile at that time, and he was suddenly a little chilling. Could it be that Fei Qian at that time was already planning to let them come to Jiaozhi?
Liu Bei didn't dare to think too much, and felt that he was so cold that he thought too much.
The South China Sea Protectorate is different from the desperate enclosures and houses in later generations. Liu Bei mainly tends to use fishery to supplement Jiaozhi's development...
After establishing a commercial relationship with Jiangdong, Jiaozhi's spices, fish glue, shells and other specialties naturally have a closer sales channel. You only need to go up the coastline and send it to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in later generations. It is much more convenient than going north to Sichuan and Shu by land.
Although Sun Quan is now filial to himself, it is equivalent to self-confinement, but "trade" is innocent, and all ethnic groups in Jiangdong can also make profits. Naturally, there is no reason why Sun Quan was unable to make decisions and cut off the caravans.
After Liu Bei occupied Jiaozhi, he also reached a certain agreement with the surrounding indigenous fishermen, that is, Liu Bei would purchase some fishermen's capture, of course, not only for pearl corals, but also for ordinary fish, shrimps, crabs, etc.
Of course, because there is no refrigerator, Jiaozhi, whether it is the indigenous fishermen, Liu Bei and others, they fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Anyway, if you eat too much, it will be dried into dried fish. And if God doesn't give you face and rains halfway, it will be all ruined, and it will definitely be a rotten maggots.
Zhang Fei doesn't like eating fish. Zhang Fei thinks that those fish are troublemakers, and they all want to murder him. They always hide bones in such thin meat, and accidentally prick them in their throats. They can't compare with pork at all, let alone braised pork elbows.
Guan Yu was fine, but he was a little bit contaminated with his beard when eating fish, and the fishy smell was not easy to remove.
Zhang Fei didn't like to sway on the boat either. He was nervous as soon as he got on the boat, thinking that he might fall into the water in the next second.
Guan Yu can adapt, and he can squint his eyes and sit on the bow of the boat to read a book even if he has nothing to do.
Then myopia worsens...
"Second Brother!" Zhang Fei pulled the boat gang tightly, exerting his fingers, and his feet were also competing. "How long will it take to get to the place?"
Guan Yu moved his eyes away from the book, then looked at Zhang Fei, "Third brother, relax, if you pinch it, we will change the railing again... In two days, ah, it will be here in two days."
"That's what you said two days ago..." Zhang Fei muttered, but he also let go of his tight hand, then held the wooden wall, moved to Guan Yu, and sat down. "I feel like fishy now... I'm almost a fisherman..."
Guan Yu put down the book, untied the sack covering his beard, and then looked at some salt flowers, but there was no way. He could only wrap it up again with a little distress and hang the strap around his neck. "What do you think you should do?"
"I am a butcher! Pig killer! Otherwise, I will kill people like a pig! Pig kills like a pig! Pig kills thousands... Oh, hey! It's really..." Zhang Fei stood up with some resentment. He just said a few words of pride, then a wave came over, and the hull shook, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly grabbed it and sat down.
"What's wrong with the fisherman?" Guan Yu said slowly, "If you don't eat fish in this place, where can you get so much meat? If you can eat it with peace of mind, you can't eat it? Besides, don't you give more money to you every time you divide pork?"
"Hi!" Zhang Fei also knew that Liu Bei and Guan Yu had given him extra care, but because he was too greedy and the amount was not large, the meat would shrink again. Once he cooked it, it would be a small size. After taking it, it would disappear before he could taste it.
"It is said that the road to Sichuan and Shu has been widened a little, and it has been easier to walk a lot. The next time the caravan comes, it will bring more bacon..." Guan Yu comforted Zhang Fei and said, "I may bring some pigs and lambs. I just don't know if I can survive on the road. Well, I don't know if I can adapt to the weather here..."
"Well, it must be!" Zhang Fei said firmly without thinking, "We can adapt, so can pigs and sheep!"
Guan Yu frowned slightly and wanted to give Zhang Fei a while, but looking at Zhang Fei's grin and drooling, he felt a little reluctant, so he pretended not to hear Zhang Fei's last words.
In the distance, a large building boat, well, was actually a fishing boat, spreading its sail tent and heading west.
That is the "Zhuojun name".
Well. That's right, it's the name of Liu Bei's hometown.
"Zhuojun" is performing its third mission after its birth. Since his first trip to Jiangdong, the ship has almost never stopped for a day.
The one Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were naturally on the "Hedong".
The third brother Zhang Fei's ship is still under construction, but the name of the ship gave Zhang Fei a headache for a long time. Because Zhang Fei and Liu Bei's counties are the same, Zhang Fei said at the beginning that he wanted to "butcher", and then he was rejected by Liu Bei and Guan Yu...
It has not been decided until now.
Zhang Fei was also very hesitant. Although he didn't like being on the boat, he felt like he was a child of his own. It was good to always take a loud and impressive name.
Around the "Zhuojun" and "Hedong", there are four or five small boats, forming a small fleet, slowly moving forward about ten miles away from the coast.
"Note!" The soldiers on the chanting bucket of Wanglou shouted loudly, "Three large ships were found in front of them, and several small boats! There is no flag, no flag!"
As the soldiers in charge of looking at him shouted, Guan Yu's face suddenly became serious.
With the frequent trade activities and exchanges, this trade route naturally encountered some invasions from unknown forces.
In fact, China is not as most people feel. Only Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty voyages to the West. In fact, when Qin Shihuang was in the sea, Mr. Ying Zheng went out of the sea. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he also sent the left general Xun Li, well, that's right, this Li, who sent troops from western Liaoning, Yang Pu, the general of the Hanbo Army, led 50,000 naval troops across the Bohai Sea, and attacked Liaodong with the water and land forces, and eventually destroyed Weiman of Korea and established four counties on the Korean Peninsula.
Of course, later generations of kangzi would not recognize this...
After the Guangwu revival, the main political forces were placed on land and they did not pay enough attention to the ocean, so there was no historical official's understanding or record of the forces on the ocean until Emperor Sun sent people to Ryukyu and Wanwan.
At that time, there was already a considerable population in Ryukyu and Wanwan. Of course, these populations would not stay on land, relying on mountains to eat the mountains and sea to eat the sea? Now, Liu Bei from Jiaozhi invaded these areas and controlled the original trade routes. How could these people willingly give up?
As the warning gong on the ship was ringing, the soldiers on the tower quickly took their place. Many soldiers began to pour wet sand on the deck.
In this era, arson was always an important means of offensive in naval warfare.
『Send a small boat to inquire about the situation!』 Guan Yu ordered in a deep voice, 『Archer prepares! In addition, crossbow machine is in the strings! Aim at the enemy ship!』
On the "Zhuojun" and "Hedong", there are large crossbow trucks equipped with not many, only one ship, but at present, it is the only ultra-long-range killing method.
A qualified crossbow cart can have a range of thousands of steps. Of course, it is hard to say that the distance is accurate, especially the wind on the sea. However, at about three hundred steps, the power of the crossbow gun is still very strong. At one or two hundred steps, it can even pierce the side boards of the ship directly. At the same time, the crossbow cart can also be used to fire some javelins, stone bullets, incendiary bombs, etc.
In ancient wars, the ancient Roman legion that used the most crossbow chariots, each legion equipped with more than 50 crossbow chariots.
Of course, some of this is a bit of a sage, and it is not in the Ganges...
The crossbow cart redesigned and manufactured by the Huang family workshop under Fei Qian was somewhat different from the ancient Roman crossbow carts. Due to the development of metallurgical technology, the new crossbow carts use more bronze and steel components. Compared with wooden crossbow carts, they are more powerful and less difficult to maintain.
"The enemy ship did not respond! They were accelerating!"
The ship in front shouted loudly, pointed and gestured, and used double red flags representing danger.
The other party came with the wind, and was covered with sails again, and the speed was very fast.
"The sword and shield hands come forward! Prepare to fight!"
Guan Yu gave the order, and then looked at Zhang Fei, "Third brother, you are not... Forget it, be careful when you are playing it, don't smash your own boat..."
Zhang Fei laughed loudly and shook his spear in high spirits, "Second brother, don't worry!"
Perhaps it was the first sea encounter since the Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, which began...
Chapter completed!
