vs 55 Looking south
The navy's family base began to swell rapidly, and the traversal began to buy ships and train in actual combat - training with a small group of pirates, and Liu Zhe and his party began to openly set up the navy's spectrum internally.
Of course, these only exist inside the company, and in the current humble situation, they can only talk about it, and they are not in a position to play any real naval stalks. Externally, the fleet can only exist in the form of maritime merchants at present, and regularization must wait until the next piece of territory is laid.
With scattered pirates and fishermen coming to join the crowd, Liu Zhe and his team are now able to organize a three-ship fleet to go to sea. After the beggars' side stabilized initially, the eyes of the crossing company began to focus on the navy again - the day when the north wind rose was not far off.
As the leader of the fleet, Liu Zhe is naturally under great pressure.
As the highest-ranking person in the navy who currently crosses Zhongli, and a former down-and-out captain, Liu Zhe's reputation within the company is still quite good: from the initial creation to the current armed fleet, his organizational ability has been fully reflected.
Another point is that his obedience is better.
Although Bai Hongda was often ridiculed as "you are stupid in the army", everyone knows that Liu Zhe, the leader of the navy, is competent. There is no way, no one dares to hand over the violent organ to Bai Hongda, a person who always wants to poke the leader chrysanthemum, whether the leader is a person or a group of people. Even Bai Hongda himself admitted that even if he became CEO one day, he would have to let Liu Zhe be in charge of the navy to rest assured.
At this moment, the group of people who have returned from the voyage and are sitting in the cabin discussing are worried about the future.
The fleet has not yet installed radar and power systems, which is really unbearable, you know, in a little more than a month, the north wind will rise.
Their return from this voyage was the farthest trip since the establishment of the navy: the fleet went all the way south along the Zhoushan Islands, and after passing Zhoushan, they abandoned the traditional shipping route, abandoned the coastline, and took the zigzag line and sailed directly to Taiwan by the shortest route. It wasn't until the coastline of Taipei was seen from afar that the fleet began to return. The whole process went back and forth, and it took half a month.
Without the GPS that was commonplace in later generations, Liu Zhe and the others had to return to nature - the sextant and the marine clock walked. All the data brought over by later generations such as the southeast sea state, hydrology, coastline, etc., had to be measured and entered from scratch, which can be regarded as experiencing the hard work of starting from scratch.
It didn't take long for them to realize the importance of radar and powertrains. Without radar, storms are difficult to predict, and secondly, it was impossible for sailing ships in the Middle Ages to sail along the coast at night, especially in the area of Zhoushan, where there are many light and dark reefs. Even during the day, the danger of brushing shoulders with the reef in the sea fog still scared the traverser into a cold sweat several times.
As for the ship's power system, not to mention, it can go straight against the wind on the sea at a critical moment, which is the standard posture of the traverser.
Just when a few people were discussing how to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace to equip them after they went back, someone outside the hatch reported loudly: "The big boss, there is a deal!" ”
"Huh? Bought and sold again? After hearing the sound, Liu Zhe pushed open the hatch and came to the deck.
When I got out of the cabin, I saw that the lookout in the mainmast was holding a telescope in one hand and a small flag in the other to indicate the direction. Liu Zhe and several people picked up the binoculars around their necks at the same time and looked up, on the blue sea, there was a small black dot in the color of the sea and sky that could not be seen clearly by the naked eye, but under the magnification of the eight-fold Zeiss lens, the small black dot became two sea boats leaning together, and the two groups of people on board were fighting.
"Looks like a robbery."
"Well, I think so."
"This can't be endured, we are the People's Navy!"
"Don't be disgusting, if you want to eat black, just say it, don't discredit the Navy."
"You're so boring, little ones, turn the sails, copy the guys!"
......
Two hours later, the original two-ship formation became a four-ship formation, the corpses had already sunk into the sea, the blood was being washed away, and the sea was still as blue as if nothing had happened. Liu Da Dang has returned to the cabin at this moment, and is interrogating the survivors with Bai Hongda.
There are not many survivors, only two decent ones. There was no way, by the time they arrived at the scene, the pirates had already killed the people on the merchant ship.
These two are a couple, the man is in his thirties, and at first glance he is from a scholar's background: thin appearance, elegant temperament, three long beards, and a green shirt. The woman is also quite beautiful, but this will just come out of the ghost gate, and the couple are still busy shivering, sitting in the cabin in shock, and they don't even dare to speak.
It wasn't until two sips of water were drunk that the two sides communicated with the attitude of civilized people, and the scholar learned that the heroes were the Zhuang guests of the Hui merchant Liu's family, so he let down his guard and got up to give a big gift to the life-saving benefactor.
A warm scene of hosts, friends and courtesy, at this time, it was staged in the cabin a little out of place. After the scholar died in the catastrophe, his mood was agitated, and he seemed to look down on life a lot, so he no longer had any worries at this moment, and began to tell his life-saving benefactor about the origin of his husband and wife.
The scholar's surname is Nan, and his single name is a "hope".
Nanwang is a native of Hangzhou, and he has a reputation for showing talent in the year of the weak crown. However, the township test was difficult, and he failed the test repeatedly, and he spent a long time. Later, his livelihood was difficult, and his wife died of illness again, Nanwang was hit by this, and he died of the heart of being a man, and began to make money honestly to live - to be a guest for rich people.
There are not too many people in Hangzhou who are willing to spend a little silver to be elegant, especially some wealthy businessmen who have no cultural background. Nanwang has a good appearance, eloquence and literary talent, plus he is an indigenous person and is familiar with the terroir and allusions, so he is very open to some foreign rich businessmen.
The thing is broken in the three words "eat open".
Nanwang has been praising Master Wu's mansion for the past half a year. Mr. Wu is a salt merchant in Yangzhou, with a big family and a big business, and he also has other businesses in Hangzhou. Because he and the owner are very compatible, so Nanwang was fortunate to go to the Wu family's outer house to drink wine a few times, this outer room is called Liu Niang, which is one of the more than a dozen concubine rooms distributed by Master Wu in various places.
After that, it was the meeting that the masses liked to see: one was handsome and talented, the other was a pretty junior, a middle-aged widowed wife, and a lonely night watch.
The cavemate mode was maintained until Liu Niang became pregnant.
At first glance, when he heard that Liu Niang was pregnant, Nanwang was in a very good mood - he himself was still childless, but then the two of them began to worry: before and after Liu Niang was pregnant, Master Wu had never been to Liu Niang's bed.
In this way, Master Wu can't be tricked, once Liu Niang's belly grows bigger, the East Window incident happens, with the wealth of the Wu family, the end of the wild mandarin duck can be expected......
