Chapter 254: Maritime Trade Mission

Gaocheng Port is not a natural harbor, but a large harbor built after the day after tomorrow, and the harbor is full of turbulent waves and constant waves.

The wind swept across the sea, pushing up the waves, and the waves kept coming, crashing against the rocks, making a roar of the heavens and the earth cracking, and the waves repeated the same action in a circle, not at all tired.

Suddenly, five large warships appeared in the waves, advancing at high speed against the waves, and the sturdy bow split all the waves. The waves were agitated, constantly lapping the sides of the battleship, and the broken waves hit directly on the top of the deck.

As the sea continued to surge, as the sea breeze continued to strengthen, some of the waves directly crossed the deck and fell on the sailors.

On the endless sea, the red wolf-headed battle flag on the central mast of the battleship is very eye-catching, it is the sea wolf guard of Fanyang Mansion.

On the deck of the battleship, the sergeant of the sea wolf battalion, regardless of the wind and wolves, controlled the stability of the battleship, one after another, the waves hit and rushed straight to the deck, the water splashed everywhere, and the sailors on the deck were all staggered by the impact, and the soldiers leaning on the side of the ship on both sides were also choked by the waves.

The mast also creaked as if it were about to break at any moment, and the sails had been lowered, but they were still swishing in the sea breeze. The sailors on the mast used ropes to secure themselves so that they would not be accidentally blown into the sea by the sea breeze.

The new sergeant who was interning on the ship vomited profusely, the battleship swayed quite violently in the waves, and the sergeant who was tied to the deck vomited so badly that he couldn't even open his eyes, but he didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery on the sea.

Li Qi, the captain of the sea wave guard in the cabin, looked at this scene on the deck, but shook his head and said nothing, but he didn't say anything, every sergeant of the Sea Wolf Battalion had to pass this level.

Fu Ziyong, the newly released head of the sea trade group beside him, did not look very good, because most of the people on the deck were under his command, and he saw that his subordinates were tossed by the wind and waves like this.

He, the head of the regiment, couldn't help but feel a little depressed. But there is no way, the sea trade group is to sail above the sea, or even farther away, and the wind wolves they have to experience may be much greater than these.

And there are two people on the ship who are not wearing the military uniforms of Fan Yang Mansion, but they are members of the Xu family, who were pried by Liu Feng from Xu Fu, to be exact, both of them were forced by Liu Feng to Xu Fu and robbed!

After Liu Feng established the Hailang Battalion, it has always been led by Li Qizai, and the talents in that battalion are almost the team of Li Qi's Liaodong Naval Army, but with the expansion, the construction of the Maritime Trade Group is in great need of talents who are proficient in ocean navigation.

However, almost all the talents who are proficient in water transportation and water warfare are in the south, so Liu Feng also had to use some rogue means to pry two talents who are proficient in ocean navigation from Xu Fu Liu Sui and Chuan Jian.

Both were very experienced old seamen, and it is said that they had been running ships since they were eleven or twelve years old, and it was even rumored that his parents gave birth to him on a ship. He has been to a lot of places, Silla, Japan, Nanyang, Dashi, he has been there, and he is quite familiar with the customs, laws and etiquette of various places, although he is not as good as Fu Ziyong, but he can also be regarded as a talent.

But the two of them can be leveraged by Liu Feng, not because of how clever Liu Feng's methods are, but because he is arrogant, although the two are seafarers who walk the ship, they are also very proud, so that Xu Fu is not so able to tolerate the two.

But the reason why the two of them can be like Fan Yangfu is because the two of them were brought here, and the cold blade was close to their faces, so they couldn't help but disobey, and secondly, as their leading boss, Fu Ziyong, was enough to subdue the arrogant two.

The two who had just boarded the ship reluctantly took on the task of guidance, but they didn't care at all, and with the assistance of these two people, Fu Ziyong could also be more relaxed in training the maritime trade group.

Under the strict training of the three masters of the sea trade group, the sergeants of these maritime trade regiments were regarded as suffering a major crime, although there were no casualties, but they were trained in embarrassment.

In the cabin, Chuan Jian looked up at the mast and said boredly: "Captain Li, this wind wolf is still not big enough!" ”

Liu Sui also echoed: "Indeed! Find another place where the wind wolf is a little bigger, so that these cubs can completely see the wind wolf on the sea! ”

When Li Qi heard this, he was a little unhappy, this sound a little harsh, he sailed on the surface of the Bohai Sea all the year round, and the wind wolf on the Bohai Sea was far from being able to intersect with the wind wolf on the ocean.

But the two of them said it nakedly, and it was inevitable that they would be suspected of underestimating others, but Fu Ziyong was a little more tactful, and laughed loudly: "You two don't know what to do, Li Duwei is afraid that our training will be too intense, and if you want to hurry, you won't be able to reach it!" ”

This sentence can be regarded as resolving the embarrassment of several people, and it is true, in the eyes of Fu Ziyong, Chuan Jian, and Liu Sui, such a storm is not a storm at all, but for those sergeants who board the ship for the first time, such a storm is already quite scary.

The battleship rose and fell in the wind and waves, as if it could not get up again after being plunged at any moment, and the mast creaked as if it would break at any moment.

Li Qi was also a little worried about the safety of the battleship, these five battleships had just been launched, and the sailors were not yet fully familiar with it, in case the mast broke, hundreds of people on the ship would have to feed the fish.

Fu Ziyong seemed to see Li Qi's thoughts, and said slowly: "If you want to understand the maximum wind wolf endurance of a battleship, you have to take a chance and sail on this sea, we have always been not afraid of wind and waves!" ”

Chuan Jian and Liu Sui were about to make a sarcastic speech, but they were stopped by Fu Ziyong's stern look!

Li Qi is not a bad breed, he is also a character walking on this sea, he can be regarded as a person who has experienced the wind and waves, and is not afraid of the wind and waves, but he has some faith in his heart that he can't trust these warships.

These five sea warships were all built by Gaocheng Port itself, and the scale of each ship was about 3,600 materials (about 200 tons now), which was slightly larger than the building ships they used before!

These warships were built according to the battleship drawings left by their predecessors and the suggestions provided by Liu Feng, the ships had two masts, respectively in the bow and stern, above the deck, only very simple buildings, below the waterline, but pointed, the draft was very deep. It is very different from the previous ships of the Seawolf Battalion, the previous ships were flat-bottomed, and although they were large in size, the draft was not deep.

The five ships are named after the five of the eight of the Queen Mother's eight titles, "Jundu", "Puyin", "Flying Fox", "Fujiao", and "Yiguan".

This was also the first time they had controlled this ship to go to sea, so Li Qi also muttered in his heart, but at this moment, he must not lose face, and ordered the fleet to continue to turn around and sail towards the open sea.

When Li Qi's people waved the flag, Peng Tonghe was on the top of the "Flying Fox" battleship, taking care of the sergeants who were lying on the railing and panting, these new sergeants, although they all grew up on the seaside, they have also seen the wind and waves, fishing in the offshore area, they can move forward in the wind and wolves, but in the far sea, they can no longer be as stable as Mount Tai.

A wave hit and turned directly over Peng Tonghe's back, and the cold sea water would completely cover it. After the waves washed away, the new sergeant in front of him vomited again, but he didn't vomit anything at all, just had a vomiting reaction.

The battleship swayed, and the sergeants on the ship swayed, and their faces were all pale and terrible, but fortunately, they were all tied to the railing with ropes, and they didn't have to worry about falling into the sea even if the battleship rose and fell.

Compared with Peng Tonghe's "Flying Fox" and Li Qi's "Jundu", Zeng Lei's "slogan" situation is relatively better, because his battleship is mixed in the middle of the fleet, the wind and waves are slightly smaller, and most of the personnel on his ship are old sergeants of the Sea Wolf Battalion, although they are not very accustomed to such a big wind and waves, but they are not enough to vomit such a miserable situation.

In the face of Li Qi's order to continue sailing to the open sea, the two did not have many opinions, and they were also used to such a life of drifting on the sea, but they were a little worried about the sergeants on the ship who vomited to the point that they couldn't do it.

After continuing to sail to the open sea for two days, these sergeants finally couldn't hold on, and some sergeants even fainted several times, Li Qi and Fu Ziyong didn't dare to continue anymore, if they continued, maybe there would really be casualties, so they had to give the order to return.

Chuan Jian and Liu Sui were a little dissatisfied, they were also on such a ship for the first time, and they didn't know much about the performance of the ship, so they couldn't wait to thoroughly understand the performance of the ship, but this voyage, they didn't detect the limit of the ship at all, which made the two a little angry.

However, whether it is the two of them, or Li Qi, or Fu Ziyong, they all have a good vision for the future of the Sea Wolf Guard and the Sea Trade Group, although the Sea Wolf Guard still needs too much tempering to really go out of the sea, but this cannot stop their yearning for the future.

Riding on the ship with the smell of paint, looking at the scenery of the sea and sky, the few of them were not like those sergeants who vomited in the dark, but carefully appreciated the same scenery.

Three days later, they returned to Gaocheng Port, and before entering the port, the sentinel ship patrolling the sea came over to report, Liu Feng was waiting for them at the port, and invited Li Qi, Peng Tonghe, Zeng Lei, Fu Ziyong, Jun Jian, Liu Sui and others to meet at the shipyard. The group did not dare to slack off, boarded the sentinel boat, and sailed straight to the shore.

After Liu Feng formed the sea trade group, he has been stationed in the shipyard of Gaocheng Port, personally participated in the construction of sea ships, this is the first test of the new sea ship, and it is also the first time that the sea trade group officially went to sea, Liu Feng's heart is more eager than that, he is eager to see the growth of his own sea wolf guard and sea trade group.
