"Let's go!"

Chapter 3 Nine. Xanadu

The beautiful flute floats briskly on the bow of the ship, and the icy sea breeze blows, covering the bronze statue of the sword-wielding goddess on the bow with a layer of white frost. There are even ice blocks floating in the sea in twos and threes , so that the ships sailing along the coast have to carefully avoid the deep sea.

The sky was clearer than ever before, with only a few white clouds floating on the sapphire, it was like the beauty of the north in the Song of Ice and Fire. It is estimated that only the Jurchens in the white mountains and black waters have experienced this sea area.

At this time, Mao Jue’s boat was missing seven boats. It wasn’t that he had a bad idea and hit the rocks, so he left Lutun Island. The total journey was less than 100 kilometers. On the straight coast of North Asia, a protruding coastline embraced the ocean. The excellent sheltered harbor stands in front of the fleet, and there are many good ports in the extreme north. If I am not mistaken, it is Vladivostok, a city on the east coast of Russia, which is famous in later generations, and Vladivostok, as the Chinese people call it.

Could Mao Jue miss such a good thing?The anchor was anchored here that day, more than 2000 people were unloaded, and sufficient building materials were shed, but there was not much food left. Two thousand stones were enough for two months. Anyway, this place is not far from the Dongjiang River, so it needs to be transported again. can.

However, the desire to open up a new world made Mao Jue impatient to wait for the Vladivostok Guard to slowly raise the city wall. He selected a few officers from the guards to serve as the commander and deputy commander of the guard. On the third day, he was impatient to continue. Float out to the north.

Although the scenery on the sea is beautiful, it is tiring to look at it for a long time. Wrapped in a cotton scarf, Mao Jue is yawning and sitting on the towering stern fleet building, throwing a fishing rod into the sea, squinting his eyes and holding a pot of hot water. I don't know how long the tea will be, the bait below is gone long ago and I don't pull the fishing line.

On the chair next to him is a "snowman".

Not feeling well?Adelaine was wrapped in six or seven layers of parka, which was leather on the outside and cotton on the inside. She was sitting on a chair, or she was stuck in the chair by the clothes. Mao Jue didn't have it by her side. On the other hand, three braziers were placed. In the cold weather, the sailors who steered the sail would put their hands in their arms to warm them up from time to time, and then smeared a little lard on them to prevent them from cracking.

Let Ying Ji have a headache facing the thick copywriting, and let herself stay by her side as a bodyguard. This is already the fourth day that she accompanied Mao Jue out to bask in the sun.

For what reason, as smart as Adelaine, she didn't know it, and she was also blamed for meeting these Dutchmen, making herself a little confused. Mao Jue was not a fool, so he naturally saw the clues, he was waiting for his own showdown !

But! This is not only about his own life, but also about some inexplicable things. The last time he entrusted himself to Mao Jue, he only entrusted himself. Now, as the leader of Dongjiang, a huge In the face of interests, can he still maintain himself as before?

"master"

"Ok?"

During the period of the foreign girl's period, Mao Jue seemed to just wake up, and opened his eyes in a daze, but before Adelaina hesitated to say something, an excited shout suddenly came from the front bow.

"It's land! It's coming!"

"I'm going!"

With all the fishing rods left behind, Mao Jue ran forward like a chrysalis while holding the teapot and pulling the cloak, but Adelena, who was stuck on the chair, was dumbfounded, and the corners of her mouth twitched wildly for a long time, this girl But he smiled suddenly, like a big bear, pulled himself out of the chair with his small hands wrapped in the cloak, and ran forward staggeringly.

"Wait for me!"

At this time, the bow of the ship is truly an unprecedented world unfolding in front of everyone. As the flagship, the Black Pearl landed on the left side of the middle of the fleet. It was advancing in a herringbone shape with those small functional ships. When it appeared, it was already far away from the front. Land is very near.

Different from the imagined white snow, after all, it has not yet entered the Arctic Circle. Under the blowing of the sea breeze, a large piece of land on the shore is exposed, revealing the scorched hay mat inside, and a large plain is exposed in front of the snow-capped mountains behind. The river runs straight into the sea, and the estuary is completely ice-free for hundreds of meters. On the shore, the dense virgin forest stretches as far as the eye can see. Every tree is covered with snow cover, and ice skates hang from the branches.

Only relying on the timber resources of this forest, this trip is not a loss. Lee's family felled for thousands of years in North Korea. Only the deep mountains and old forests have such high-quality trees, but here they are directly next to the bank at the mouth of the river. A shipyard can be set up not far away, which is a hundred times more advantageous than the shipyard on Lutun Island.

And this plain, although compared with the endless North China Plain, the Great Plain of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, or the Songnen Plain is far worse, it is much more magnanimous than those small plains in the Japanese country, let alone 7 people. It is estimated that 70 people can fit here.

What a fresh virgin land!

On this side, Mao Jue was fascinated by watching, and on the other side, the villagers on board also rushed out of the cabin and rushed towards the bow. They all had a look of fear and bewilderment on their faces.

Looking at it, Mao Jue suddenly realized that the whole bow of the ship seemed to be tilted forward.

Four to five hundred people gathered together, and the sharp bow of the boat was deeply pressed into the sea water. Seeing that the bottom of the boat seemed to be going up, Mao Jue cried out sadly.

"Go back, it's weightless! Don't be in a hurry, just land today, everyone can see it!"

It's a pity that General Dongjiang's prestige is not so good at this time, a group of refugees can't care less to listen to him, they just stretched their heads and looked towards the shore like stupid geese, no one paid attention, and leaned behind On the deck, the barrel and the lock began to slide down.

At this end, Adelaine squeezed behind her, and seemed to follow in the direction of Mao Jue. Suddenly, there was a thumping sound behind her, and she turned her head in amazement. Fear came, and a heavy bucket filled with fresh water rolled towards her.

"Be careful, run!"

With a scream, the foreign girl seemed to hide to the side, but her kind reminder hurt herself, she turned her head suddenly, and the refugees around her ran away again, wrapping the package like a rice dumpling. Delena hit the ground directly.

This Xiuao really broke the big deal, he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time, and when he raised his head again, the bucket had already rolled in front of him, and when his eyes were squeezed, the girl screamed at the top of her throat.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Thumping~ The bucket was pushed, and more than a dozen refugees who had no time to escape fell into the sea like dumplings.

With a thud, Adelaine opened her eyes in astonishment, but just in time to see Mao Jue covering his head and groaning. At the very moment, he stepped on the side of the boat and launched a rocket charge, knocking Ah Delena was pushed out, but too hard, and hit his head on another vat, and he grinned in pain.

"Go back! If you don't leave, throw them all into the sea to feed the fish!"

The sailors on this ship were annoyed, the first mate directly took out the whip to punish the erring sailors, and beat the crowd head-to-head. At this moment, the refugees who were still in shock finally dispersed, and the hull became balanced again.

Adelena rushed to Mao Jue like an anxious cocoon, her voice was crying, and she shook Mao Jue anxiously.

"Master! Master! Are you all right?"

"Don't worry, when I was naughty when I was young, my head was not much clearer than now, I will pay you back your man"

　Grinning his teeth with an ugly smile, Mao Jue withdrew his hand, but before he finished pretending, a stream of heat flowed down from his forehead. Seeing his hand flushed, this guy also yelled sadly.

"Oh my god! It's bleeding, doctor! I'm bleeding, I'm dying!!!"

It was a small episode. The well-ordered Dongjiang Fleet was in chaos for a while, and then under the garrison and the bosun's whip, calm was restored under the butt of the guns. After sailing for more than an hour, the huge fleet arrived. On the coast of the big island in front of me, assault boats rushed to the shore like crucian carp crossing the river. The Dongjiang troops who went ashore first dragged them to the shore with thick ropes. The heavy 30-meter-long functional supply sailboats Also in the creaking sound, along the mouth of the big river, upstream.

In a blink of an eye, Mao Jue was wrapped up like an Arab, his forehead was tightly wrapped by three layers of gauze on the left and three layers on the right, bulging, and he was muttering while walking down the ship's ladder.

"One blood for another blood! Retribution for the world!"

Mao Liying, who was supporting her with her right hand, was at a loss, but how could Adelena, who had done something good on the Black Pearl for the first time, not understand, even though Mao Jue forced her to put on the three-story left three-story right three-story The padded jacket was dragged down, but her fair little face was still red and hot like a boiled crab, and Mao Jue was holding on to Mao Jue, who was screaming that he was in a daze with his left hand, and he wished he could bury his little head in his arms.

On the other end, he also rushed down from the boat. Luozhige obviously didn't have such a blessing, he hurried to the front with a shovel in his hand, found a place on the dry grassland, and then went down to dig desperately. , followed him, and a dozen personal soldiers also joined the battle group, and in a blink of an eye, a big hole more than one meter deep was pushed down.

Another shovel piled up the soil, and the old Liaodong, who had fled the country, tremblingly picked up the soil like he was holding gold. The next second, he shouted excitedly.

"The soil below is soft. This is not frozen soil. You can farm! You can farm!"

“Can farm!!!”

The soldiers also raised the soil excitedly and shouted loudly. The sound was transmitted from the shore to the boat and then to the sea. As long as they can cultivate, the Han people with apricots will be able to take root. Almost all of them are Cheers raised their hands and shouted.

"You can farm!"

Looking at the pieces of joy, Mao Jue couldn't help but smile from the corner of his mouth.

The next step is down-to-earth, down-to-earth work.

There is a word in later generations called the Chinese Miracle. Today, Mao Jue is not so capable. He can't create the Ming Miracle, but the Dongjiang Miracle can be performed.

In the past two days, the mighty army of refugees landed on the shore with stuff from the boat. It is indeed a poor place, but compared with the American colonists in the New World, the Dongjiang pioneers are much more convenient.

About 500 meters away from this river, a huge camp was settled. The men rushed into the forest on the bank with axes and saws. The cattle pulled by the boat were dragged to the shore.
