At the port of Luzon, a dual-purpose steamer ship is berthed at the pier. There is no paddle wheel. It is propelled for the propeller. The flags on the ship are waving, demonstrating the official identity of the ship.

Feng Ang said goodbye to the officials who saw off duty, boarded the steamship, and looked back at the city of Luzon, where he had been in office for several years. He felt a thousand words pouring into his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

He was the first governor of Luzhou and the first governor. Luzon was now full of vitality through his efforts and his assistants.

Now, I am leaving, and I feel a little reluctant.

However, the Feng family's industry took root in Luzon and had grown into a money tree and would not leave with his departure.

With the sound of the whistle, the steamer slowly left the dock and sailed towards the outer sea. Feng Ang walked into the boat and saw that his family had settled down. He was about to return to his cabin, but he saw his son Feng Zhiyu studying the map and studying where he had to pass to Chang'an.

Feng Ang was intrigued and pointed out his son's route to his job in Beijing.

"Departing from Luzon, take an overseas route, go north through Taizhou, enter the Yangtze River, and dock at Guangling. Then change the boat and go to Tongji Canal to enter the Yellow River, and go to the lower reaches of Sanmenxia to land to Chang'an."

Feng Zhiyu had a question: "But, father, isn't the steamship already available for navigation to the Sanmen Piercing? Why do you still need to transfer to land?"

"That's a cargo ship that can be used, but a passenger ship that can't. After all, there are still risks. Life is at stake. Besides, it's not too far to go to Chang'an by land from Sanmenxia."

Feng Ang clicked the location of Chang'an on the map and said: "In the past, it took one month to ride a horse to Chang'an, but now, it is about one month to go from Luzon to Chang'an."

Feng Zhiyu thought to himself a few results when he heard this, and had a question again: "Is it only twenty days to ride a horse and travel a day with a journey of one hundred miles a day?"

"You asked your mother, brother and sister to ride a horse for 100 miles a day and travel for twenty days in a row?"

"Uh... it was the child who was negligent."

Feng Ang touched his son's head and smiled and said, "But the steamship is different. You can travel day and night. As long as the waterway is clear, you can travel thousands of miles a day. Passengers can eat and live freely, and they will not be affected."

"If I hadn't added coal, water, supplies, and transferring boats along the way, the time from Luzon to Chang'an would have been shorter."

Feng Zhiyu thought about his father's words and felt incredible, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved: Since the fire ships in the world, everything has become different.

For the people of Lingnan, Chang'an, which used to sound very far away, seemed not very far away from him. More and more out-of-town people in Fanyu City made locals feel that they had gone to the wrong place.

My father left Luzhou and went to Beijing to report his work. If it went smoothly, he would only take one month. However, he returned to Gaoliang from Fanyu. Because the road was rugged, the luggage was too much and the number of followers walking a lot, he would take half a month to travel forty miles a day.

After talking for a while, Feng Ang saw that his son was always studying maps, he suddenly remembered something: "Why are you so free? Don't you need to review your homework? Have you done the exercise collection?"

When Feng Zhiyu heard his father's question, he put away the map with a bitter face and took out the exercises he had done to check for his father.

Feng Ang has many sons, and it is impossible for them to be beautiful. Therefore, if their sons want to enter the government in the future, they basically have to rely on the imperial examinations. Therefore, Feng Ang asked his sons to study in Fanyu, and the sons who followed him were also watching him, and they wanted to "study hard for more than ten years" and then "take the imperial examination."

His foreign family, Xian, also invited his husband to establish a clan school, so that talented children in the clan could study, and strive to become an official through imperial examinations. This is the case with the Chen family in the Longzhou and the Ning family in the Qinzhou.

In just over twenty years, the distance between Lingnan and the Central Plains has been greatly shortened. The Chang'an court is no longer so unfamiliar to the Lingnan family. The maritime trade and imperial examinations have allowed everyone to see the hope of continuing the family's glory, and their yearning for the Chang'an court is unprecedentedly high.

This was incredible before.

Feng Ang was looking through the exercises, and suddenly heard the noise outside. When he turned out, he saw the crew and his followers pointing to the south and discussing. He asked someone to bring a thousand-mile mirror and take a closer look, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Outside the sea, there were two slightly desolate five-masted sea ships, escorted by other ships, coming to Luzon Port.

The reason why it looks desolate is that the sails of these two ships were significantly damaged, and one of them had a mainmast broken.

Feng Ang saw the flying flag of the ship, and the pattern of the flag looked very familiar.

According to the days mentioned in advance, the long-distance fleet should have come back, and it should have appeared in the Luzhou waters at this time.

Feng Ang rubbed his eyes and looked again, sure that he was right: the flag on the ship was the flag of the fleet heading to the Far East along the Black Tide.

The long-distance fleet is back!

Feng Ang felt incredible: Oh my God! Isn’t the extreme east area a huge waterfall, really a different world?

......

"I'm called a foreigner, a foreigner! The imperial envoy flew eastward and found natives thousands of miles away, suspected to be Yin people!"

In the morning, explosive news spread in Guangling, Yangzhou. The newspaper boys running on the streets were snatched by passers-by. Many people wanted to see what kind of bird people the imperial envoys met in the extreme east thousands of miles away.

As an eagle, it’s just a bird, an eagle man, that’s a bird man!

Many people thought so, but as the people who bought the newspaper looked at it, they were stunned. Others were confused and kept asking, but they saw these people muttering to themselves and kept saying "incredible".

The other person was anxious and asked quickly: "Oh, what does that birdman look like? Could it be an eagle head? Is there any explanation in the newspaper?"

"Does birdmen have men and women? Do they lay eggs or just lay cubs?"

The newspaper reader shook his head: "Hey, it's not a bird man, it's an Yin man."

"Yes, isn't the Eagleman a birdman?"

"The Yin people are Yin people, how could they be bird people... Hi! You heard that they are the survivors of the Shang Dynasty, the survivors of King Zhou of Shang."

"The King of Porridge? The Old King of Porridge?"

"You...hey, have you heard of King Wu's attack on Zhou?"

"No, who?"

"......The King Zhou, who was fascinated by the vixen, lost his country!"

"Oh! It's a shadow puppet, the King Zhou who was cruel and loyal and swimming in the wine?"

"right."

There was a lot of discussion on the streets, and people were shocked by this "outsider". In private, Huaiyang Protector, Qi Wangyu and Wenli were also stunned when they looked at the newspaper.

Zhang Yu was ordered by the emperor to go to the east. He knew about this and knew that this trip was very dangerous. If he could come back, it would be a life-and-death death. Now, Zhang Yu is back.

The ship returned to the sea and arrived in Luzhou first. Because the ship was damaged, Zhang Yu and his entourage transferred to other ships to head north and arrived in Guangling the day before yesterday.

As a guru, Yuwen Li only cared about military affairs, so there was no reason to meet Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu and his party stayed in Guangling for a day, and today they took a boat to Chang'an by Tongji Canal.

Now, what is said to have the fleet encountered suspected survivors of the Shang Dynasty in the extreme east?

Of course, Yuwen Li knew what the meaning of "remnants of the Shang Dynasty" was. He probably remembered that after King Wu defeated Zhou, the Yin people were not killed after the Battle of Muye. So, according to the newspaper, it was not impossible for the Yin people to escape on a boat "then" and ended up fleeing to the extreme east.
