Section 80 Trip to Guangzhou (2)

After the test run, it was found that the speed of the ship could reach about 12 knots when the sail was full and downwind, and the speed of the ship was not greatly improved by installing the engine. However, the ship's maneuverability has improved considerably, which is good news for inexperienced traversers who operate hard sailing boats.

"At least our ship will have a big advantage in the event of a headwind." Lin Shenhe summed up this advantage.

In addition to the power system, the vessel has undergone a series of modifications, including the installation of a radio station and the addition of living cabins. The bulkheads of the cargo compartment were reinforced, and several dark compartments were also modified. In addition to weapons and ammunition, it also contains Lin Shenhe's private goods, which are ready to be used when making cameo appearances as pirates.

In order to guard against the attack of pirates, the ship was equipped with sufficient weapons and ammunition, as well as a lot of dry food, clean water, silver coins, and various supplies.

On November 1, 1628, on a sunny day on the sixth day of October in the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the third-class transport ship "Dengyingzhou" set sail and set off from Bopu to the sunny sea.

This majestic-sounding "third-class transport ship landed on Yingzhou" is purely the lust of a group of people with strong naval plots. As for whether the weishenme is a "transport ship of the third class" and not a second or fourth class, only they know.

Deng Yingzhou picked up Liu Gang at Xu Wen's lantern corner, this little salt merchant himself also brought a few bodyguards and other figures, he was unwilling to take a boat to Guangzhou, and would rather take the land route safer, but since he heard that the shorthairs have sharp firearms, they probably have no fear. It's just a little regret that the legendary big iron ship was not seen.

The journey went smoothly, there were no words on the road, and five days later we arrived at the Nanchengwai Wharf in Guangzhou.

The Pearl River Estuary in 1628 was not as busy as later generations. Recently, piracy has been rampant, and it was rumored that Yu Junmen was going to block the ship to beat Liu Laoxiang, and all kinds of foreign ships were avoided. There are few ships on the Pearl River.

Lin Chuanqing has not slept well in the past few days, and this trip to Guangzhou is still a little risky. He was a smuggler in the South China Sea back then, and he had seen all kinds of strong winds and waves, but after all, it had been a long time since he had washed his hands. Although their group of North American rudders are always ready to look for opportunities at sea to get a vote. But he is also most afraid of encountering a pirate ship: how can a sea giant like Liu Laoxiang be a master to be messed with? When Lin Chuanqing was the head of the snake, he knew that it didn't matter which country's patrol boat the smuggling boat encountered, the big deal was that the business couldn't be done, and it would be all over if it encountered pirates.

Once they encountered Liu Xiang's pirate ship, the lives of this boatload were all counted on with these dozen guns and two newly installed diesel engines. Everyone has no experience in sea battles, and one or two pirate ships are easy to deal with, in case there are seventeen or eighteen ships......

Fortunately, Liu Gang brought with him a helmsman who was familiar with the coastal distance, and under his guidance, he sailed along the coastline with trepidation along the way, and sailed into the harbor to take refuge as soon as he saw a suspicious ship. It's not easy to stop and go like this. Now that I have reached the mouth of the Pearl River, I can finally sleep well. Thinking of the depths, he looked back at Guo Yi on the other side of the railing, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

For Guo Yi, the five-day sea journey was full of hardships. Since he was transferred to the security team to do the work of interrogating prisoners, his life has a new hope. This time, he was entrusted with the important task of being the head of the Guangzhou Underground Advance Station, which was a qualitative leap for him personally -- he had already been recognized. Although this task is fraught with risk, high risk means high reward - he will use his expertise to quickly rise through the ranks of the group and thus enter the upper echelons of the group. The excited Guo Yi prepared a full set of plans and jihua, and ran to the ideal new world with hope.

Although he had been prepared for seasickness before, he did not expect that the journey of one or two days in Yuan Jihua would not be able to set foot on land until the fifth day because of his hiding in Tibet. Guo Yi's face also turned from red to white, from white to green, and from green to black...... He never knew he was seasick - apparently a 78-ton wooden ship was not the same thing as a thousand-ton ship. Everything that should have been vomited had been vomited in the first three days of the storm, and for the first time since the passive crossing, someone had the idea of seeking death......

Fortunately, the most difficult moment has passed, and when I sail as peacefully as I do now, I can occasionally come out and breathe in the sea breeze with pretended calm. For him, the post-landing test is far more than seasickness, and this can be regarded as a small prelude to him.

"Docks! Dock! The shouts of the Qian Shui Association in the lookout fight stirred up the whole boat, and they crowded to the sides of the boat noisily to feast their eyes. From the boat, a sinuous green link stretches all the way to the horizon, this is the Pearl River, and in the distance is the majestic city wall of Guangzhou. The houses and forts are dotted around as far as the eye can see, and several small sailing boats are scattered around the pier, which has been fenced to prevent pirate attacks.

Stimulated by the hope of landing, everyone struggled to dock the boat. Most of the men on the dock who were begging for a living were dark-skinned and thin-skinned, and when they saw this group of tall and strong people who were well-nourished in later generations, they all gathered around in confusion to see what was going on. Mondstadt was the first to jump off the boat, followed by Qian Shuixie, Zhou Weisen, and others, although everyone had dressed up as a wise man beforehand and had wigs in a bun, so that they would not be so easily seen. But the habits of the soldiers still make them quickly pull away from the vigilant jiashi. The two sides confronted each other in such a strange atmosphere......

"Why don't you go ashore yet, what are you rubbing?" A coquettish sound came from behind the cabin.

Everyone looked back, only to see a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color and fragrance opening the curtain to look out, the towering cloud temples seemed to be casually tied on the head, but just right to hang a few strands of hair on the slightly undulating chest, an endless lazy beauty. The bright and moving melon seed face, the crystal pink skin under the light gauze is better than the hibiscus. A pair of autumn water, clear and blurry, small and straight Qiong's nose is thin and tender like rose petals, and the pink red lips are even fuller. A smile and a smile have all kinds of styles, and they are thrilling.

Mondstadt and the others were stunned for a moment, and the boatmen didn't even know where they had flown to, their eyes were wide open, and the two halas flowed unconsciously. At this time, it is a knife that results in them, and it is estimated that there will be no reaction.

At this time, there was a cough in the cabin, and Guo Yi came out, so he arched his hand and said: "The female dependents of the family, there is a lot of trouble, I hope you Haihan." With that, he drove the beautiful woman back into the cabin to avoid further chaos.

This beauty is the secret final battle weapon of the famous intelligence group, PEPEI, codenamed "Miss P", whose real gender is classified as top secret. PEPEI's outfit jishu is also one of the best in modern times, and during the journey on the boat, everyone has long been dazzled by the continuous transformation from Lori to Shota to the Imperial Sister. Now that it has reappeared, even Mondstadt and the others, who thought they had immunity, still couldn't resist it, which shows the depth of their skills.

In the cabin, Guo Yi reproached: "Miss P, I hope you can understand that although you are directly appointed by the intelligence and information team of the Executive Committee, after all, I am the person in charge of the Guangdong advance station, and I have the right to unify and coordinate, I hope you will not make difficulties for our overall operation." Guo Yi understands that PEPEI is the most important secret weapon in this Guangzhou operation, but it must not affect the realization of the overall jihua in any case, so it is necessary to remind it again.

PEPEI SMILED GRACEFULLY AND SAID, "WHY BE SO SERIOUS, I DIDN'T EXPECT THOSE NATIVES TO BE SO EASY TO DEAL WITH, IT'S A BIT OF A WASTE OF MY SKILLS." Guo Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Now we will establish an intelligence station according to Jihua, and the construction of a front-line intelligence base will also be put on the agenda immediately, but whether it is a restaurant or an inn, we still have some problems with our personnel." But I'll try to fix it, and until then, I hope you'll stay on the ship so you don't make any mistakes. After all, this kind of thing is not for you to come forward. PEPEI SMILED SLIGHTLY, NODDING IN AGREEMENT.

Xiao Zishan said: "Now let's discuss the actions after going ashore." "He was the head of the purchasing team, but he was only responsible for the procurement of all kinds of items needed by the industrial sector. As for the work of setting up the advance station, Guo Yi was solely responsible.

"Let's go our separate ways, Commissioner Xiao, you go and talk to Gao Ju and Shopkeeper Sun about cooperation-after all, you are acquaintances. I plan to ask Liu Gang and Lao Yan to take a look at the market in Guangzhou and think about opening a store. The others stayed on board for the time being. ”

"I'll go back to the second house first, and then send a sedan chair and mule cart to take everyone to the house to loosen up. Bei Wei recognized Sun Chang and let him lead the team. Xiao Zishan knew that this group had been suffocated on the boat for five or six days, and if they continued to stay on the boat, they might make any trouble, so he kept Beiwei in the town.

After everyone planned to stop, and after a little rectification, Xiao Zishan marched to Guangzhou City under the protection of special forces and North American second-class people.

Xiao Zishan is a revisit to the old place, a little cordial, others are completely curious, most people have not even been to Lingao County, and now they suddenly came to the most prosperous commercial city in South China at that time, and it is very appropriate to describe it with dazzling four words.

However, now is not the time for sightseeing, and when I returned to the house on Huifu Street, the housekeeper Sun Chang and the Gao family who stayed in the house were still business as usual, and they were very happy to see the master come back. In the more than a year since they left, the house has been repaired in a decent manner: the courtyard walls and revetments have been renovated, the rubble has been cleared, and the house has been repaired. A vegetable garden was also opened in the garden, and many vegetables were planted.
