Chapter 1628 The Tang Dynasty
Gray-white seagulls spread their wings on the sea and swooped down from the sky. The feathers of their wings swept over the blue water, then they flapped their wings and rose, circling and flying.
Huge merchant ships raised their sails, the sharp corners of the bows broke through the waves, the slender hulls moved forward lightly in the water, and the sterns drew white trails on the blue sea, which was spectacular.
The Wu brothers stood side by side on the bow of the boat, facing the cool and slightly salty sea breeze, looking at the approaching dock in the distance, with the rising and falling tide...
Who would have thought that someone who had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty would have to wander thousands of miles across the sea and come to Linyi Kingdom to seek a way out?
Although I can't say that I am as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog, I am still in a state of embarrassment after leaving my hometown...
Behind them, Wu Weiliang and his wife, who had stepped onto the deck at some point, stood behind them.
Shan's head and face were covered with a gauze. Even on the deck in the sea, he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt. At this moment, he was complaining: "The sea breeze is so strong that it makes the skin dry." How can I meet people? When I arrived in Da Nang, I didn’t dare to leave the house..."
The Wu brothers all looked up to the sky without answering.
With your mean and blessed dignity, it would be best if you never see anyone...
Wu Weiliang was a little embarrassed. You said that one of your younger siblings was boasting about her appearance in front of two eldest brothers-in-law. Is this appropriate? Then he glared at Shanshi and asked her to pay attention to her sense of propriety.
Mr. Shan has always had such a heartless temper. I am used to the five elements. Why do I care about my uncle? He glared back hard.
However, her head and face were covered by a gauze, and no matter how fierce and fierce her eyes were, her husband could not see them at all...
"Brothers, I feel a little guilty now. You said that Da Nang is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and people may not be able to recognize the descendants of Duke Guo, let alone whether Fang Jun's name is useful. The officials here don’t give us any face at all, but what should we do..."
Wu Weiliang sighed worriedly and expressed his worries.
They may still be able to use their dead father's name to dominate in Chang'an. Although the noble family does not want to see them, they are aristocratic families after all. There is no problem in bullying the humble officials and ordinary people. Although they have the money, I don’t have many assets, but I can live a comfortable life.
All you need to do is wag your tail in front of those powerful noble families, and no one will pay attention to them...
But although Da Nang is now the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is still the place where the local indigenous people have lived for generations. Who will give them face when they are new here?
Without the reputation of the noble family, Wu Weiliang didn't know what his brothers could do.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he has to worry about his brother's ability to survive...
His question was a top priority, but Wu Yuanshuang disagreed and said: "Why are you worried about this? The general of the Da Nang garrison is Liu Rengui. This man used to be Fang Jun's servant. My little sister married Fang Jun as my concubine. Being so favored, Liu Rengui is naturally a servant of my Wu family... I will go find him if I don’t believe that he will not arrange things properly for us.”
Wu Yuanqing was a little dizzy. Liu Rengui was a servant of Fang Jun, so he was also a servant of the Wu family?
He looked up at the sky and thought for a long time, but could not figure out the inevitable cause and effect...
Shanshi was a little timid and asked in a low voice: "It's just... that Liu Rengui is now a naval general. I heard from the merchants on the ship that his status in the navy is second only to that of the Grand Governor Su Dingfang, and he is not the former Fang family." The servant... came to the door rashly, what if I pissed him off? "
This woman has always been mean and vicious, but she is just fierce in appearance and cruel in heart. When she is at home, she is unscrupulous. When she goes out, she is submissive because of lack of knowledge. She is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, so she does not dare to be as showy as before.
Wu Yuanshuang said "Hey" and said disdainfully: "It's just a domestic servant who has found a good future with Fang Jun's trust and support. How can he change the world? A domestic servant is a domestic servant after all, even if he becomes a servant General, he is still a servant! I don’t believe that we go under the banner of Fang Jun. How dare he? Take good care of us and arrange it properly? Let him find a place to stay and serve us three meals a day, and then slowly see if there is any business to do. If the cost is too high, borrow it from Liu Rengui. Some are fine, how dare he not borrow them?”
Wu Weiliang scratched his head and felt that his second brother was indeed the "Zhuge Zhizhi". His future was still gloomy and gloomy before, but after a few words, the road suddenly became bright and smooth...
Wu Yuanqing felt something was wrong, but he really didn't care at all, so he could only listen to Wu Yuanshuang.
Shanshi suddenly screamed, trotted to the side of the ship, looked towards the western sea, and said loudly: "How come there are so many ships?"
The Wu brothers also came to the side of the ship and looked far into the distance. They were also shocked by the magnificent scene in front of them...
A huge piece of land gradually appears in the distance. Where the water and the sky meet, countless white sails are like a large group of densely packed seagulls perched on the sea. The boats are covered with clouds and the sun is covered. As far as the eye can see, it is extremely spectacular!
A businessman who was about to enter the cabin to inventory the goods passed by. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "That's Da Nang over there. It's our overseas territory of the Tang Dynasty!"
Shanshi was curious and asked quickly: "I heard that the barbarians in Linyi are all cannibals. Is it true?"
The businessman was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Of course there are people in this world who drink human blood and cannibalize human flesh!"
Seeing Mr. Shan, he trembled slightly with fright, and the handsome young husband-in-law next to him all turned pale. He put away his joke, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "Don't worry, Da Nang is here. The world of Tang people!”
Da Nang is the world of the Tang Dynasty!
Even though it is a hundred thousand miles away from China, wherever the naval fleet can reach it, it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
All beasts, demons, demons, beasts, and beasts restrained their claws and prostrate themselves at the feet of the Tang people!
Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of these extraordinary nobles, the businessman smiled and shook his head. Without further explanation, he went into the cabin to inventory the goods.
The power of the Tang Dynasty and the nobility of the Tang people need to be experienced truly. No amount of words can describe the pride that comes from the bones...
*****
Da Nang.
On the sea outside the pier, countless merchant ships lowered their sails. Some were led by a small sailboat with a scissor-shaped bow and full of sails, and slowly sailed into the pier. However, most of them could only drop anchor and stop in place, waiting for the arrival inside the pier. The densely packed merchant ships left the port after loading and unloading their goods, and then they were able to park at the pier and get a berth.
Although the merchant ship the Wu brothers were on arrived late, it did not even stop and sailed straight into the port. A small sailboat quickly came up to it. Someone on the ship waved a small red flag a few times, and then the petite hull A semicircular white mark was lightly drawn on the sea, and the merchant ship followed closely behind...
Wu Yuanshuang was a little puzzled and asked a sailor on the deck: "Why are those merchant ships waiting in line to enter the port, but we arrive last and leave first?"
The sailor was a muscular man with a dark complexion. He glanced at the Wu brothers, then raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head.
Wu Yuanqing looked up and saw a clear blue sky with white clouds... What does this mean?
"Hmm...is the weather good today?"
Wu Yuanqing asked tentatively.
The sailor was speechless...
Then he said: "Did you see the flag hanging on our mast?"
Only then did Wu Yuanqing notice the flag fluttering in the wind, feeling a little embarrassed...
The golden flag sounded fiercely in the sea breeze, with red cloud patterns embroidered on all sides, and a large black "Tang" character in the middle. The flag was stretched out, exuding an inexplicable momentum.
"This is the flag of the 'Eastern Datang Merchant Company'. The merchant ships flying this flag are all the private property of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. No one can intercept them within the seven seas and all countries in Southeast Asia, and they can sail unimpeded!"
The strong sailor's chest was raised, and his dark face, blown by the sea breeze and exposed to the scorching sun, shone with pride!
The Wu brothers all raised their heads, looking at the flag that was making loud noises and claws, and swallowed subconsciously...
Within the seven seas and all the countries in the South Sea, nothing can be intercepted, and it can travel unimpeded!
Mother!
I only know that the lion of the Tang Dynasty swept across the Western Regions and swept across Mobei. Many barbarians were so stunned that they surrendered, but they never thought that in the distant Southeast Asian countries, there was an even more irresistible tyranny!
Shanshi raised his head and glanced aside. He felt his neck hurt, so he curled his lips and said disdainfully: "It's just a flag, and it's not the Shangfang sword 'like I'm here in person'. It's very ugly..."
"Shut up!"
The strong sailor shouted sharply, startling the Shan family who said this casually and the Wu brothers who were lost in thought... (End of this chapter)
