That's right, remoteness is actually the greatest protection for distant islands. It is almost impossible to hide from the Yun family, Hou family, and Feng family on the sea. The navigation industry of the Tang Dynasty was almost single-handedly supported by these three families, whether they knew it intentionally or not.
Strict control over the ocean has been formed, and this control will not change due to the intervention of forces on the shore. People who go to the sea subconsciously want to cut off the connection between themselves and the land.
Nowadays, more and more people go to the sea, and they gradually have a preliminary understanding of the ocean. This understanding is that the ocean is the last place that can bring huge wealth.
There are many rumors, the most famous one is the rumor of the Pirate King. The bearded man travels all over the world and is invincible. He was repeatedly surrounded and suppressed by Yun Ye but came back again and again. I heard that he plundered another rich kingdom in the Great Sea area and accumulated hundreds of years of wealth.
All the wealth was plundered, but on the way back they encountered the powerful Lingnan Fleet and had to flee in panic. Finally, with nowhere to escape, they bravely got into the Devil's Sea and were never seen again.
Some people swore that they saw the ship, swinging on the edge of the Devil's Sea, but there was no one on it, and it seemed to be shuttled between the rocks under the control of ghosts.
Some people say that as long as the moon is full, you can see the ship rising and falling on the sea with the swells. The sails on the ship are in tatters, but there is a woman singing on it. The pirate king's bearded guest is not lost because he is lost.
Instead of disappearing, he met a sea monster and was bewitched by the beautiful sea monster. He punted the boat on the sea over and over again until he turned into a skeleton...
If you collect such legends in Guangzhou, you can collect hundreds or thousands of different versions. Among all the stories, there is one story that has never changed, that is, the wealth of the Pirate King still exists...
The Yun family did not believe this, and when they came forward to refute the rumors, they were said to have ulterior motives and were planning to monopolize the Pirate King's property. Therefore, many people took the greatest risk and sailed into the Devil's Sea, and were never heard from again.
This time it was different. A wooden board inlaid with a golden animal head floated out from the Devil's Sea. After identification by some old sailors who had seen the Qiubeard Guest, they confirmed that this tiger head with wings was the symbol of the Qiubeard Guest.
So the sea boiled again, and countless people began to go out to sea by boat. The brave ones actually dared to drive a small sampan and hurriedly entered the sea, charging into the huge waves with their incomparable desire for money.
In Li Rong's study, Shopkeeper Liu closed his eyes and rested. Li Rong looked at the letter in his hand, put the letter into the envelope again and asked Shopkeeper Liu: "Grandpa Liu, you have seen the bearded man before. Do you think this flying tiger?"
Is the head real or fake?”
Shopkeeper Liu opened his eyes and smiled and said: "Back then, the bearded guest was captured by Gaoyangzi and hung on the sail of the ship. The old marquis saved him because of Li Jing's face. After treating his injuries,
, gave him a set of tools, a Japanese girl, and exiled him to an island with high waves, hoping that he would live out his life on the island.
Unexpectedly, the Qiu Bearded Guest was able to escape from the island. With his bare hands, he gained the reputation of Nuo Da. He was invincible across the sea. He said that he had accumulated some wealth. I am afraid that he had some. The old man and the Qiu Bearded Guest had several encounters after that.
, all went to see him on the orders of the old Marquis and warned him not to cross the strait without permission, otherwise he would be killed without mercy!
The golden tiger's head is a joke. Even the sails on the bearded guest's boat are shabby things that have been patched over and over again. How could those luxurious decorations come about? It is not credible to spread rumors.
Little Marquis, there is no need for our family to look for the pirate king's treasure. The bearded guest needs to pay tribute to our family while he is alive. There is no need to worry about his little wealth. Money is the most indispensable thing for our family. I estimate that it is
Someone wants to stir up trouble in the sea. Haha, strength determines everything in the sea. Just wait and see. When the mastermind comes to the surface, it will not be too late for us to take action. Once we do it, we will be completely thrown into hell. The sea is a knife and a shot from the Marquis.
How can we allow others to get involved in what we have beaten down?"
Li Rong is the real king of the county, but the elders of the Yun family stubbornly call him Little Marquis. Li Rong himself also likes this title. Whether he is in Yongzhou or Guangzhou, he can easily tell the difference from the title.
Those are the old ones and those are the newcomers.
"Grandpa Liu, there is an interesting rumor. It is said that in the sea to the west, there are also descendants of my Yun family who are kings and hegemons. Do I have other brothers besides Xiaoshou and Xiaohuan?"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed, and Li Rong was a little embarrassed when he laughed. Seeing that Li Rong was a little ashamed, shopkeeper Liu said: "It's just rumors. We are just three brothers in our family. I once heard Mr. Hou say that he and your mother are
The bad fate that existed in the previous life has been entangled in this life, so I have you.
Are there too few stunning beauties in the family? The Marquis has only had five wives in his life, and all his children will only come from these five wives. The Marquis is famous for his cleanliness in Chang'an. Although the rumors are very bad, what about us?
Don’t you know, so if you meet that so-called descendant of the Yun family on the sea in the future, feel free to kill him."
Li Rong said with a smile: "I always feel something is wrong. Those people seem to be very familiar with the Yun family. Do you remember that there was a letter from Dahai four years ago, which reminded my father to pay attention to the siege on all sides, and also said that the whole world should attack the Tang Dynasty.
The pattern has been formed, and he was right. Three months later, the Tang Dynasty was already in crisis, and my father had to go to the desert to fight. Who do you think this person will be?"
Shopkeeper Liu shook his head in confusion and said: "I have been thinking about this matter for many years, but I can't figure it out. However, Mr. Hou doesn't seem to be surprised, so I think that Mr. Hou knows who this person is. It's just that he knows who this person is."
It's just inconvenient to say.
In fact, if Gao Yangzi had not died, the whole thing would have turned around. In the so-called Bloody Night Incident of the Lingnan Navy, the Marquis laid a fatal plan. Gao Yangzi could not escape, and the entire ship was blown up.
The Emperor searched for the debris on the sea for a long time, only seeing broken wooden boards and not a few living people. According to the confessions of those people, Gaoyangzi was dead.
Alas, if the young Marquis wants to know the truth of the matter, he might as well write to the old Marquis and ask for clarification. By the way, I want to ask about your marriage with Xiaoyuan. The princess wanted you to get married at the age of sixteen, but the Marquis
I scolded him, all the children of the Yun family got married at the age of eighteen, not even one year younger. You will be eighteen next year, so you should get married as early as possible, so that I can give an explanation to the Marquis."
Li Rong became angry when he mentioned this matter. What kind of marriage is this? The Feng family has now set its main goal in Yazhou. Such a big island has now become the private territory of the Feng family. The Feng family already has two thousand miles of territory.
of rumors.
Gaozhou, Luozhou, Chunzhou, plus Yazhou, Danzhou, Zhenzhou on the big island, the rumors of two thousand miles are absolutely true. The Feng family has a huge population. Although two of them were killed by their father,
There are also twenty-eight sons scattered in Lingnan serving as officials. If he had put aside his relationship with Feng Yuan, Li Rong would have already attacked Chunzhou, which is closest to him.
"Little Marquis, this is a marriage. The situation was not like this at the beginning. Our family is weak in Lingnan and the Feng family is strong. In order to ensure the safety of Yongzhou, we should not have a conflict with the Feng family. Now Feng Ang is already old.
You can no longer be in charge. The master of the Feng family is now your father-in-law Zhidai. The master of the sea is Zhiyong. It is not a bad thing to occupy the big island. That island is similar to the far island. It can only be established but not developed. It can be said to be a dead place.
The Feng family is now focusing all their energy on the sea, so that’s fine. They will leave matters on land to you sooner or later. As long as you and Xiaoyuan give birth to children, this matter will be carried out immediately. Others dare not talk about Chunzhou.
They have to hand over their power as a dowry."
The master and servant kept talking, and it was already dusk before they knew it. Li Anlan generally didn't like to move now and always stayed in Yongzhou. This was her home, so she felt most comfortable there.
It was still hot in Lingnan in September. Li Anlan was sitting in the pavilion leisurely blowing the cool breeze with a fan. Thinking of the letter from Yun Ye, she couldn't help but curse.
I spent half the text talking about my daughter, half the text asking about my son, and when I greeted myself, I just said, don’t steal!
Damn it, you yourself have a concubine, and you hug me from side to side, but you have given me a ban, you just don’t know what to say. But from this sentence, you can also see that this dead man also knows that I am lonely?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but chuckle. Apart from being a little lonely, I was living a pretty good life. Li Rongfan was getting married in the Chinese New Year. Both the Yun family and the Feng family were looking forward to a happy marriage. Then the dead man would also come.
.
The Yun family's affairs in Lingnan were finally handed over to Rong'er, and the handover was done very happily. The petty Xin Yue was probably going to be pissed to death, right? The dead man was straightforward and generous in this matter.
Everyone in the court is waiting to see the marriage between the Yun family and the Feng family. As long as the wedding is successful, the royal family can legitimately intervene in Lingnan affairs, and the Xuanjia army stationed on the Meiling ancient road can return to Chang'an. In this way,
An elite team that is out all year round does not conform to the imperial court's defense status of strong branches and weak branches.
Wasp boarded the Yun family's Haiyu battleship. It was said to be a warship, but in fact it was a modified merchant ship. It was still not comparable to the real warships of the Lingnan fleet. After discussing it with his boss all night last night, it was decided that Wasp would go to a distant island.
, even if the incident takes two years, no matter what happens, it doesn’t count unless you see it with your own eyes. This is the iron rule of the Metropolitan Water Prison.
The sails on the Chang'an water system are like clouds, and they are endless. There is still no way to compare them with the seaport in front of you. First of all, in terms of ship shape, sea-going ships are very short, but the sails are very huge. Inland river ships are generally taller.
However, the entire hull was not comparable to that of a sea-going ship. Wengfang felt very sorry not to see the majestic appearance of the Emperor on the sea. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
