After settling the matter in Manila, Yang Fan set sail again.
I originally planned to go digging for treasures with my wives in Ryukyu and have fun. Then I turned around and headed north, but I didn’t expect that it would take so long due to the rush of things. If I didn’t go north in a hurry, the seaport of Vladivostok would freeze in winter.
Vladivostok is a semi-freeze-free port, which means there is no ice inside the port. However, not far from the port, there is the frozen sea. Therefore, this ice-free port is fake. Ships are stuck in the port and cannot get out.
Go. You can only drive out until next spring when the sea ice is lifted.
In fact, the real ice-free port in the north is Lushunkou, which is navigable all year round. Even Qinhuangdao Port has no inland rivers and the seawater has high salinity and is not easy to freeze. In addition, the water has a large depth and good heat capacity, so it does not freeze easily.
Easy to freeze.
However, if the cold snap this year is particularly severe, there is no guarantee that it can be used in winter.
Yang Fan had arranged for more than a dozen large-scale fortune ships before departure, and brought a lot of goods to Vladivostok in advance. Yang Fan planned to have good contact with the local tribes when he went there.
That place was so old that the slave establishment actually had very little control. All the ministries only surrendered in name.
These people are the real barbarians. Their fighting prowess even scares the Jian slaves.
In fact, the main source of troops for the Eight Banners' great expansion in recent years was not these savage Jurchens, but the chaotic ethnic groups that came from Siberia.
Because Tsarist Russia has continued to develop into Siberia over the years, a castle has been built in Irkutsk. A large number of various ethnic groups who originally lived in Siberia were forced to flee south.
In Siberia, it is impossible to escape from Khalkha Mongolia to the northeastern region. Mongolia has suffered from severe drought in recent years. Therefore, many Tungus people have fled south in these years. The slaves have recruited a large number of these people as soldiers.
In fact, in real history, the Ming army was not as weak as in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled in the Qing Dynasty. The battle losses of the Jiannu were also very large. However, they have been able to recruit tribes who fled from Siberia, so that they can maintain their scale and combat effectiveness.
.
Things in the Philippines have been settled. From now on, refugees will be recruited to settle in Luzon and work as miners in the copper mines. When the population of Han people exceeds that of natives, the various counties and cities set up in Luzon Island can return to their hometowns.
The westward fleet has set off with the British. They were originally scheduled to return when they reached the Cape of Good Hope. Now, they have a new mission. That is to visit England with the envoy sent by Yang Fan. Then they will visit various European countries. Finally, they will cross the Atlantic and arrive in
Cuba reunited with the eastbound fleet and then returned together from the Strait of Magellan.
This should be the first circumnavigation of the world by the Han people in this era.
The mission of the fleet going south remains unchanged and it will continue to inspect the islands in Southeast Asia and Oceania.
The remaining three cruisers and many early-built small clippers stayed behind and were responsible for maintaining sea order in the East China Sea.
Yang Fan is now heading to Vladivostok with the three cruisers of the Eastward Fleet. He first goes to Jeju Island, supplies supplies, and then goes all the way to the Sea of Japan.
The girls haven't enjoyed enough yet, and the tropical sunshine in winter is about to leave. It's a bit regretful. But when I think about how fruitful this trip has been, I won't complain.
Three days later, after the fleet docked at the Jeju Island base, the base's staff came up to report that Mr. Wu was here. Yang Fan did not expect that Mr. Wu, an old scholar who could not swim, would have the courage to go to sea.
Yang Fan and his wives met Mr. Wu in the living room.
In this era, the leader of every force will usually have a person who talks about things. Some of these people are Feng Shui masters, some are Taoist priests, and in short, they are all inheritors of mysticism. Mr. Wu is not only Yang Fan's staff master
, who are also responsible for things like these mysterious realms.
The previous site selection for the new city and the Feng Shui design of the mansion were all led by Mr. Wu.
"Proprietor, I want to go to the Heilongjiang estuary." Mr. Wu asked, cupping his hands.
"Exactly, but I plan to visit Vladivostok first, and then take a boat to Temple Street. If the Heilongjiang River is not frozen, I will go upstream to the source of the Onan River to have a look. Then I will return to Vladivostok and wait until the port is clear.
Frozen and returned to Tianjin."
When Mr. Wu heard that Yang Fan was going to the source of the Onan River, he excitedly said: "Outer Xing'an Mountains and Temple Street are where the northern branch of the Zulong Dragon Vein meets the sea. I plan to follow the proprietor to have a look, but I don't know if it is possible."
Yang Fan became interested. He couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the northern branch of the Dragon Vein in Yanshan? Why did it travel so far to the Waixing'an Mountains?"
Mr. Wu smiled and said: "The owner doesn't know that the dragon veins of China all originate from the Kunlun Mountains, and the Kunlun Mountains originate from the Pamir Plateau. The Hindu Kush Mountains are the origin of the dragon veins of the entire continent. All three of my Chinese dragons are
From west to east.”
Yang Fan nodded and said: "I have heard about this. I heard that the southern dragon finally entered the sea at Wanwan Island, the middle dragon passed through Yingtianfu (Nanjing) and entered the sea at Songjiang Prefecture. The northern dragon entered Yinshan, and Yanshan passed the imperial capital. But no
Do you know where to enter the sea? Is it the old leader of Shanhaiguan?"
Mr. Wu laughed loudly and said: "The Beilong line goes north through Yanshan Mountain, continues with the Greater Khingan Mountains and Waixing'an Mountains, and finally enters the sea at Temple Street. It is the place where the Heilongjiang River mouth is. This river is not simple. The north is black, and the river is black.
Named after the dragon, it is not a simple place. I plan to follow the proprietor to investigate."
Xiao Niangpi couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Wu, is Heilongjiang so important? Could you please help me go and inspect it personally?"
Mr. Wu stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The old man got the original Book of Changes of the Western Zhou Dynasty from the proprietor and his wife. After studying it carefully, he discovered a big secret."
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru couldn't help asking: "What a big secret."
It's not easy to surprise this old man. This secret must be of great importance.
"The I Ching we see now is an abridged version. It is not the original version, so it is difficult to understand. It is like a storybook with a lot of plots deleted and the content incoherent. It is natural that you cannot understand it.
of."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiao Niangpi was surprised: "Is there any difference between the existing Zhouyi and the bamboo slips we dug out?"
Mr. Wu laughed and said: "The Lianshan Yi has sixty-four hexagrams, while the Guizang Yi and Zhou Yi have both become eight hexagrams. The Lianshan Yi has more than 80,000 words, while the Guizang Yi has only more than 6,000 words, and the Zhou Yi has even fewer.
"The thirty-four hexagrams of the upper sutra, about 2,252 words; the thirty-four hexagrams of the lower sutra, about 2,764 words, and the total of the upper and lower sutras is about 5,016 words."
Mr. Wu continued: "I discovered that the Northeast, mainly the upper reaches of Heilongjiang, is a very strange place, where dragons always suddenly emerge as a nation. The Northeast is a very mysterious place, and we know too little about Beilong
.A successful earth master must not only be proficient in the Book of Changes, but also be familiar with the geographical situation of mountains and rivers in the world, so it is very important to correctly understand Beilong."
Yang Fan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered. In recent years, more and more archaeological excavation evidence from the Shang Dynasty showed that they came from the Northeast. What is their relationship with the Daxingan Mountains? In addition, the Donghu ethnic group in the north seems to be inseparable from the Daxingan Mountains.
relationship.
During the Han Dynasty, the southern section of the Daxingan Mountains was called Wuhuan Mountain, and the northern section was called Daxianbei Mountain.
The people who came out of the mountains in the north are called Xianbei people.
These people were the main force in the Five Husties' rebellion against China. The first wave to enter the Central Plains were the Dugu tribe, the Murong tribe, and the Duan tribe. The second wave to enter the Central Plains was Tuoba Xianbei, the founder of the Northern Wei Dynasty who unified the north.
Yang Fan still remembered that when he read the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms, he couldn't help but sigh that the genes of the Murong family were so good. Not only were they all handsome boys and beauties, but they also had superior IQs. They established seven countries during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
During the Sixteen Kingdoms era, Xianbei was destroyed four times in total, and seven states were established respectively. Among them, the former Yan, Later Yan, Southern Yan, and Xi Yan were registered in the Sixteen Kingdoms, as well as Southern Liang, Western Qin,
The three unregistered ones in the Northern Wei Dynasty were active for nearly a hundred years, which can be called a miracle in the history of the nation!
Genghis Khan's family also grew up at the source of the Onan River. The Jurchen Wanyan Aguda tribe was also in the Heilongjiang River Basin. Jiannu claimed that his ancestors came from Huli Gailu, which was named after Huli Gaijiang (today's Mudanjiang). It was also the same place.
a watershed.
What kind of secrets are hidden in the North China Dragon Veins? The people who come out here are so outstanding. Yang Fan can't help but look forward to it.
