Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 671 The Sailing Race to Fusang

"Dongxing Manji has been updated! Do you know?"

Zhang Duanyang suddenly heard the discussion of the players on the ship, and he opened the forum casually. Sure enough, the most popular post on the forum was the news of the re-update of Dongxing Manji.

How can "Dongxing Manji" be updated again?
Zhang Duanyang fell into memory, obviously it was not a long time ago in reality, but in the game it has been more than a year.

Eastward Journey is a program created by Li Daoyuan when players were still developing in Longyou.

At that time, Li Daoyuan, Zhang Duanyang, Zhou Shi and Yu Xiaoxiao set off from Longyou and traveled eastward, recording many beautiful memories.

Zhang Duanyang's eyes were moist when he thought of the old days.

After the Battle of Suiyang, the four parted ways, Zhang Duanyang joined Zhang Xun's command, Zhou Shi applied to be the deputy envoy in the backyard of Chang'an, the Governor's Mansion of Longyou, and Yu Xiaoxiao was invited by Su Nuan to open a pipa in Chang'an together. OK.

After the four parted ways, although they still kept in touch with each other frequently in the game, Li Daoyuan didn't make any fuss. This player who once shined in the early stage of the game also fell silent.

Now Zhang Duanyang is the Zhedong observer, and Zhou Shi and Yu Xiaoxiao have become top players in their own fields. Their levels have both increased to 20+, but Li Daoyuan on the friend list is still only 12, which is maintained at the middle and low end player level.

After such a shocking opening, Li Daoyuan finally ushered in the calm weather, and he said to the camera:

"This voyage is expected to take 20 days. From today onwards, we will update the video of Eastbound Manga every day. You are welcome to subscribe."

"Then we will go north from Ryukyu and arrive at Amami Island, which is also the Okinawa area of ​​the future Fuso Kingdom. However, Fuso Nara Dynasty has not yet extended its control over here. After the waterway, Yangzhou will send fleets to these two places, and attribute these places to the rule of the Tang Dynasty."

This is the early route of Sino-Japanese traffic since the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.Set sail from Namba and Chikushi in northern Kyushu, pass through Iki and Tsushima Island to Jeju Island, then travel northward along the southwestern coast of the Korean Peninsula, start from the mouth of the Han River and Ongjin Peninsula, turn west, and cross the Yellow Sea.

"Many viewers may want to ask, why did they go to Fusang even though the Tang Dynasty has not been finished yet?"

Later, Zhang Duanyang was busy training soldiers in Pengcheng, although he was not far from Li Daoyuan, he didn't have much contact with him.

It's just that the player who opened the gambling stall spoke too frequently on the forum on weekdays. The players from the Longyou Judicial Department found clues, locked his gambling stall, and notified the local police to destroy the player's gambling stall and confiscated him. All the assets, the player who opened the gambling stall was also put in prison.

From the beginning of the first month of the first year of Qianyuan, there was no news about Li Daoyuan after he arrived in Yangzhou. If he was not online every day on the friend list, Zhang Duanyang would have suspected that he had retired.

"The reason for this is actually very simple. Traveling also requires funds. With the sponsorship of the Yangzhou Shipping Department, I can only go to sea to find the route to Fusang."

All the players who watched the video were very nervous. They never thought that sailing with a romantic sail would be so dangerous.

Then Li Daoyuan posted a chart and said:
"This time I chose the south route mentioned by Fusang. After sailing from the mouth of the Yangtze River, the King Mu of Zhou will arrive at Ryukyu first. This island has been recorded in the Sui Dynasty. The contemporary name should be "Ryukyu". There was no founding of the country, and the Ryukyu natives and some Hakkas who went to sea lived together."

But because they were traveling along the land, their speed was slower than Li Daoyuan's. They set off almost at the same time, but they didn't know who could reach Fusang first.

First, when he heard that his Prime Minister An Xiyu, the leader of the Northern Division, had sent people to attack Datang, and was defeated by Datang, the elite who had been trained in the Northern Province for many years, the Silla King's mood was pleasantly surprised.

Li Daoyuan gave an order, and the sailor in charge pulled the sail. Li Daoyuan's clipper boat did not run against the waves, but rushed towards them.

Li Daoyuan is not interested in upgrading, but he has devoted a lot of time to various skills points for survival in the wild. In the words of Li Daoyuan when he started the column "Dongxing Manji", he just wants to measure the land of Datang with his feet, even To measure the whole earth.

The video is full of "beautiful X" and "handsome" bullet screens, Zhang Duanyang also heaved a sigh of relief.

The speed of the flying shear boat is fast, and the corresponding draft is very shallow. Once it is greatly affected by the waves when sailing in the deep sea, a huge wave ahead rushes towards Li Daoyuan's boat, and Zhang Duanyang's breathing becomes short.

Having said all this, the video has finished playing.

"Just kidding, the fact is that the Anshi Rebellion has not been completely settled yet, and many places are still being devastated by the flames of war, so I decided to suspend my plan to travel around the Tang Dynasty and record this sailing program."

Sure enough, it was Li Daoyuan's style. Zhang Duanyang turned off the video. Everyone has their own reasons for being immersed in the Tang Dynasty, but what are their reasons?
When Zhang Duanyang was thinking about life, in the Bohai Sea, a clipper ship was driving along the coastline.

I didn't expect that the Yangzhou ship secretary who met in a hurry last time had such ambitions.

Since Zhang Duanyang entered the game, he has rarely seen such a pure player as Li Daoyuan.

Su Xing, who set off from Dahang City, was carefully surveying and mapping the coastline while checking the sea chart to compare his position.

"Okay, now let me introduce this lightweight clipper ship produced by Yangzhou Bosi Shipyard. I named this ship Zhou Muwang. This time we will follow the route of Monk Jianzhen , go to Fusang country."

The bullet screen boiled up again, and Zhang Duanyang was slightly taken aback when he saw Li Daoyuan's ambition.

This is really critical. Today, neither Fuso nor Silla have realized the key node of Okinawa's entire Northeast Asian trade. If it is possible to establish a stronghold of Tang Dynasty in Okinawa, it will be able to contain the entire Northeast Asian region. power.

Silla Beiban was originally the place where the losers of Silla's domestic political struggles were exiled. The Prime Minister An Xiyu was not favored by the Silla King, but his family was in Silla, and the Silla King could only let him go to Pingcheng.

"Our destination this time is the Fusang Kingdom east of the Tang Dynasty."

But at this time, the mood of the Lord of Silla was not so wonderful.

Li Daoyuan continued: "Then we will go north along the west coast of Kitakyushu Island, arrive at Chikushi, the largest port in Fusang, and arrive in Fusang."

Zhang Duanyang clicked on the video, only to see Li Daoyuan sitting on a clipper boat with the rough sea behind him.

The northern route is traveling along the land, which is naturally safer than Li Daoyuan's route.

Su Xing's goal this time is also Fusang, but he chose another route, which is the northern route mentioned by Fusang's Tang envoy.

This video of Li Daoyuan rushed to the popular position on all major video sites.

The sailing competition between two players has attracted even more attention than the war in the Central Plains.

"handsome!"

Su's route happened to be the return route of Fusang's envoy to Tang Dynasty. He set off from Dahang City and headed south along the Korean Peninsula. The first stop was Jeju Island.

Li Daoyuan's clipper boat rushed to the top of the wave, and then broke through the top of the wave. The clipper boat drew an arc in the air, and then landed on the back of the huge wave.

"Adjust the sails! Let's go!"

Ryukyu and Okinawa are the key nodes of the first island chain that blocked the mainland in later generations, especially Okinawa, where the Eagle Kingdom set up a base to deter the entire Northeast Asia region.

Ever since Pang Ju built the city of Dahang City (Dandong) on ​​the banks of the Yajiang River, the mood of Silla ruler Kim Hyun-young has been like a roller coaster.

But I didn't expect An Xiyu to be so courageous, daring to offend Datang!The annihilation of the Beiban's elite army this time is actually a good thing for the royal court of Silla.

"This time, I re-opened the channel of Dongxing Manji, and I, Li Daoyuan, embarked on a journey to measure the world again."

Jeju Island is the military port of Silla, and it is also an important trading port. However, Su Xing is holding the documents of Pinglu and Fan Yang Jiedu envoy Wang Xuanzhi this time. Soldiers entered Silla.

Su Xing also recorded a video of his own sailing process, and then posted it on the forum. This video was also pushed to the second most popular position. Now all the players of Datang Fengyun are discussing, Li Daoyuan and Su Xing, who can win? The champion of this sailing race arrived in Fusang first.

There was even an underground gambling stall in Longyou with a handicap, inviting players to place bets on who could reach Fusang first.

"Now Monk Jianzhen should be teaching the Dharma in Todaiji Temple. If we are lucky, we can still meet this great monk of Luzong."

But soon the Lord of Silla became terrified again. If the entire army of Beiban was wiped out, what would Tang do if he wanted to take revenge on Silla?
The Lord of Silla was worried, but he didn't wait for the Tang Dynasty's revenge. Wang Xuanzhi, the governor of Pinglu, just sent someone to inform Silla that he wanted to buy grain from Silla, which made the Lord of Silla heave a sigh of relief.

But this time there was an urgent report from Pingcheng that the mission under the command of the Tang Dynasty Pinglu Jiedu was going to visit Fusang, stopping at Jeju Island and Jincheng, the capital of Silla along the way, which worried the sensitive Silla king again.

Datang reconnected with the countries in Northeast Asia, which meant that Datang wanted to rebuild the order in Northeast Asia.

Silla is in the middle of the game, how to deal with it?
