Seeing Yao Wenqi looking east and west with interest there, Tao Yuanzao leaned his back against the bulwark and said lazily: "I'm going to Johor, it's not fun at all now!" ”

"Why?" Yao Wenqi asked.

"The streets are full of people from our southeast province!" Tao Yuanzao said.

"That's not fun!" Yao Wenqi put down the binoculars and said, his hope of seeing the customs of the Republic of China was dashed.

But soon he raised his emotions and smelled the aroma of roast meat!

Roast whole lambs, to be exact, were hoisted from supply ships in large baskets, and sailors watched excitedly, sniffing the scent in the air.

Sure enough, soon the boatswain, on behalf of the captain, announced that he would eat roast lamb, one pound of mutton per person, one roast chicken per person, and plenty of freshly squeezed juice and fruit tonight!

The wine supply has also been doubled.

This wine was sent from the naval depot on the shore, although Johor banned alcohol, but the southeast province leased a piece of land as a naval base, and completely became an independent kingdom, and it is not a problem to love to drink a glass in it, as long as you don't go to the streets to drink it.

As if it were a festival, the boatswain organized the men to have a meal on deck, set up the table for food, and everyone smiled and lined up to receive their share, and their mouths were full of oil.

At this point, tables and chairs can be placed on the open-air deck, and everyone can sit and eat and drink.

The officers occupied a prominent position in the stern, opened a long table, and invited two non-staff members, Yao Wenqi and Tao Yuanzao, to dine together, and the two noticed that the officers were eating a whole sheep, and the soldiers were also sharing the whole sheep.

Funds are sufficient, and as long as supplies can be provided, officers and soldiers eat the same food.

The Southeastern Province practiced a top-down totalitarian rule, but there was a democracy, and the food on the ship was supervised by the soldiers' council, who had the right to complain to the higher officers about the food problems on the ship!

If the officers and chief of the department on the ship withhold their food, it will be dealt with severely, quickly, and strictly, and this has a bearing on the morale of the military!

The Soldiers' Council is a five-member committee elected by all soldiers to reflect the soldiers' grievances and demands.

At the same time, they also have the right to supervise and complain about the salaries and bonuses they are given, and solve the problems of eating, drinking, and wages, so that the treatment of the army can almost be guaranteed.

Everyone drank and had fun.

"Good food!" Roast sheep is golden butter paste on the outside, the outer meat is brown and crispy, and the internal meat is soft and tender, with good fragrance, color, taste and beauty.

After eating the mutton feast, the strange thing is that the tables and chairs on the open-air deck were not returned and were piled up.

At dawn the next day, the officers and men on board found that there was something good to eat again, such as roast mutton buns and steamed beef buns for breakfast!

The main ingredients of the roast lamb buns are flour, eggs and lamb, and the auxiliary ingredients are cumin powder, onion, ginger, oil, salt and pepper.

In the Ming Dynasty, salt and pepper were valuable goods, at least for Europa's rambo, a pound of pepper was worth a pound of silver!

Steamed beef buns are steaming hot, the meat is tender and juicy, and the taste is excellent.

Knowing that the officers and soldiers have a big appetite, two kinds of buns are piled up into a hill!

It looks so tempting and makes you have an appetite!

The side dish is fried lettuce, and the staple food is salted pork bone peanut porridge, this breakfast is really rich, according to the boatswain, in order to prepare this meal, the naval supply center on the shore started work overnight, and as soon as it was completed, it was immediately sent to the ship by heat!

"Thank you Mazu Niangniang for giving me food, thank you for the leader's care!" The officers and men said from the bottom of their hearts.

Tao Yuanzao was well fed again, his stomach was round, and he said to Yao Wenqi: "I really want to join the navy!" ”

"The food of the navy in the southeast province is the best among the three armies!"

"The food of the navy of the Southeast Province is the best eaten in all the dynasties of China, and the food of the army of no dynasty can compare to the food of the Southeast Province!"

"The food of the navy of the southeast province is the best among the navies of Chinese and foreign countries!"

Yao Wenqi said three "best" in one breath, he is a reporter, he once made a special report on the food of the army in the southeast province, and has a deep understanding of the food.

"With such food, why worry that the army can't win the battle, how can it be disloyal to the Southeast Mansion!" Tao Yuanzao said.

During the next voyage, as long as they docked for supplies, the chief of affairs and the boatswain would make a large purchase to give the crew a tooth sacrifice.

To put it lightly, what is sent out is real money, and if the army is poor, there is no hope.

……

The small fleet sailed in the Strait of Malacca, and this waterway began to get busy, and the merchant ships of the southeast province were constantly sailing through the edges, and passing ships could be seen every day.

On the morning of the week after the sailing, they saw a southeastern fleet coming from the opposite side, and there were twelve battleships and eighteen cruisers!

The battleships were tall and majestic, and there were many of them, and they were very powerful, and they were the power to destroy the country for the natives of the southeast province.

Two of the battleships and two cruisers broke away from the formation and headed towards the small fleet, Yao Wenqi took the sub-binoculars and observed it, handed it to Tao Yuanzao and said, "Half a person!" ”

Tao Yuanzao hurriedly took the binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by Yao Yuanqi, and he saw one of the legends of the Southeast Mansion: the half-human Cheng Yu.

The general was blind, wore a black blindfold, lost a hand, and was armed with a golden staff, which had been given to him by the leader.

At this time, he was moving on the port side of the battleship, and when he was seen by Tao Yuanzao, he couldn't help but be amazed, this person is really lucky!

The warships on both sides slowly approached, and then Cheng Yu's small formation changed course and walked with them, Cheng Yu's battleship and Hong Xiguan's cruiser marched side by side, Cheng Yu was condescending and laughed loudly and presumptuously: "Hong Xiguan!" Are your two stars fake? Look at my two stars (generals), the battleship under my command is so big! "Special M, you forged the stars and committed the crime of forging your identity, and the labor and management will arrest you on the spot!" Although Cheng Yu is half-human, he is full of confidence and speaks unforgivingly.

Confident, of course, this fleet was commanded by him and was responsible for the siege of Aceh.

"Cheng Yu, you are very pathetic, it doesn't matter if you are blind, the problem is that the other eye is also blind, it doesn't matter if the stars are forged or not, don't you see that the flag played by labor and management is inlaid with gold edges!" Hong Xiguan said mercilessly.

The battle flag is inlaid with multiple sides, indicating that it has the title of "Guard", and it is a direct unit of the leader, and if even this is faked, it is an unforgivable sin.

He talked about Cheng Yu's physical defects, and only those of them who played together at the same age dared to say that!

"You don't have to show off your ×× gilded edge!" Cheng Yu laughed wildly: "The (cane) in the hands of the laborers is made of pure gold, which is much stronger than your gold-edged ××!" ”

The two replied to each other, so that Yao Wenqi and Tao Yuanzao would fall into the sea if they wore glasses!

With the dignity of two rear admirals, they should have talked about something high, but they didn't expect to say hello like this!

"You're happy, killing people, setting fire to and stealing things, I'm ordered to send an envoy to a foreign country!" Hong Xiguan said.

"Where are you going? Was it the Mughal Empire or the Ottoman Empire? Cheng Yu asked.

"Both!" Hong Xiguan said vaguely.

"Okay!" Cheng Yu didn't ask, turned around and ordered: "Let the Kaohsiung No. 41 and Kaohsiung No. 57 cruisers follow General Hong's actions until the supplies are gone!" ”

"Hey, no need!" Hong Xiguan shouted.

"Yes! One more cannon is good! Cheng Yu said strongly: "Tell them to carry out the order!" ”

As a result, there were two more warships in Hong Xiguan's formation.
