Section 957 The Prince's Military Career
Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue completed the first assignment quite well, in the afternoon, under the leadership of Lao Pan, after visiting the cabins of the whole ship, they struck while the iron was hot, and immediately spread out the paper in the officer's canteen to draw and write instructions, and they were very busy, and finally finished the homework before eating.
It just so happened that everyone came to dinner, picked up their results and looked at them, and at a glance, ho, the proportions were moderate, the lines were beautiful, and the precision was rigorous, just like the drawings made by veterans.
"The lad has two hits!" Shi Lang stretched out his thumb and praised.
Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue felt happy and had face, and when it came to cartography, they really worked hard, learning to make army topographic maps and nautical charts in the military academy, and their results were top-notch.
Captain Tang Mingtong also looked at it and asked, "Have you handed in your homework?" ”
"Yes!" The two descendants are confident and authentic.
"Good!" Tang Mingtong greeted and pointed out, "There is still something wrong, I can only give you 90 points!" ”
He said a few small mistakes, and the two descendants took a closer look, and it was really Oh!
Tang Mingtong smiled, took down a bag/leather book from the bookshelf in the restaurant, that is, a book wrapped in the outer skin, with no words on the outer skin, and threw it to Yan Kun.
He opened the book and saw that the title of the book was "The History of the 181 Cruisers of the Southeast Navy", and after flipping through it a few times, he saw that the cabin diagram of the ship, all the sails and the main ancillary facilities were also there. Naturally, the officially published book is better drawn than the two posterity, and it is not a problem to be accurate.
Suddenly, Yan Kun's face couldn't help but get hot.
Listen to Yan Lang said, "Don't patronize and work hard, intelligence is very important!" ”
"Yes!" Yan Kun and Jian Wen saluted convincingly!
……
Yan Kun was woken up by Jian Wenyue in his dream and said, "From four o'clock to eight o'clock, we are on duty, Yahu!" ”
"Hmm!" Yan Kun only felt that his eyelids couldn't be opened, after all, he was still a teenager and snooze, but he still got up with a strong will and didn't say a word.
Now, it is the arrogant prince in the Rising Sun City, but the naval warrant officer Yan Kun!
There is no preferential treatment for him in his work, and he treats ordinary naval candidates as he treats.
Units in any plane are junior and temporary workers who do more work and less money......
So Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue are on a lot of night shifts, but they never complain.
They went up to the open deck, and Tang Mingtong, the navigator who was on the same shift as them, had already arrived at his post and was going through the handover procedures with the deputy captain of the previous shift, and Yan Kun and Jian Wenyue hurried over to sign in.
Warship night sailing!
Lighting the bright oil lamp, the personnel on duty were silent, only Tang Mingtong kept giving orders, tonight Tang Mingtong did not arrange for two Hou Busheng to follow his command, but ordered them to go to check the post first.
The situation is satisfactory, the sentry on the front deck is standing guard with a gun, the lookout post is looking east and west with a telescope, he has a large cannon telescope in front of him, and a pair of binoculars on his chest, Yan Kun has been on the ship for seven days, and he knows his name is Ma Xinghua, who is not a few years older than Yan Kun, so Yan Kun leaned over and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
"If you don't find it, it's a good discovery!" Ma Xinghua said with a smile.
So Yan Kun said: "In this way, we won't be able to make a fortune!" ”
"To live healthy is to make a fortune!" Ma Xinghua said indifferently.
"Big brother, are you expensive this year?" Yan Kun leaned his back against the bulwark and asked, now he is not arrogant at all, and he is a brother to those fishermen, small traders, and farmers' sons!
Seeing this scene, Jian Wenyue had a slight smile on her face.
It is a long-lasting solution to be with the light and dust.
On the battlefield, you can't be arrogant, you will only hang quickly when you break away from the masses, and there is a group of brothers behind you who will let you go further.
As the conversation continued, Ma Xinghua pulled out the statue of Guanyin he hung with his hand and said, "I believe in Buddhism!" ”
"But the muskets in our hands and the artillery next to us are not vegetarians!" Yan Kun patted a cannon beside him.
"I'll chant the Death Spell for them when I fight!" Ma Xinghua said indifferently.
"Oh!" Yan Kun spread his hands out.
The moon was shining, he enjoyed the fresh air and the view of the well-defined hills of the western coast, "Somalia!" Yan Kun gently spit out these three words in his mouth.
"God, I can't believe I'm sailing in Somalia!" In his letter home, he was filled with emotion.
He spent a long time describing Ma Xinghua, a Buddhist, a non-commissioned officer who recited Buddhist scriptures when others bragged, and he also described Sergeant Major Ou Wei, this non-commissioned officer won three medals for bravery, and was very brave and outstanding in battle, but he was not domineering at all, when he was on the same night shift as Yan Kun, he was happy to listen to Yan Kun talk about the life of the military academy, and he was envious.
Ou Wei is a new immigrant from Quanzhou, who has only been trained for three months, and longs for a long military school life.
And his description of Quanzhou also made Yan Kun feel the same charm, Quanzhou's humanities, especially the ancestral temple of Mazu Niangniang in Quanzhou, made Yan Kun yearn for it, and he wanted to go to incense.
Influenced by his mother Yang Ying'er, Yan Kun is a devout Mazu Niangniang believer.
In the letters from home, the image of the officers and soldiers of flesh and blood is clear, he records his duty, his life, and writes down the many people on the warship, and some words are not recorded in the letters from home, and he can't write down what those rude sailors say......
His letters, in fact, were not sent, they were all written while the warship was cruising, and he wrote letters to express his feelings.
Yan Kun has integrated well into the collective, and when there are many people, he talks, sings, drinks tea, and plays cards with them...... Soldiers can't gamble in playing cards, and the loser is punished with a clip on his face, Jian Wenyue looked at his friend Yan Kun's face with a lot of clips, and almost didn't laugh out loud!
He gave Yan Kun a close-up sketch, and later Yan Kun spent a lot of money to redeem this piece of paper!
When he was young, he read his books, studied actively when he was on duty, took notes, and absorbed the knowledge of navigation like a sponge absorbing water.
He and Jian Wenyue were carefully taught by the navigator Tang Mingtong, although Yan Kun's father gave him a small sailboat on his birthday, and he often sailed alone, but there must be a boat with him, and he couldn't go to a place that was too dangerous, and he couldn't go far away.
The same is true in the military academy, unlike the warship, the officers and soldiers on the warship can become his bodyguards, because this is their profession in itself!
But in the military school, it is impossible to make his minor classmates take responsibility for protecting him, so he always has someone around him.
No one dared to take responsibility, and the instructors were careful to avoid trouble.
Now on such a large warship, sometimes Tang Mingtong lets him command the warship by the side, patiently corrects his mistakes, teaches him to watch the wind and steer, teaches him to deal with various situations, and he is becoming more and more mature!
He proudly sent a letter to his mother that he had been able to command a warship without much error.
In fact, there are still preferential treatments, ordinary candidates do not have as many internship opportunities as him, they have to do a lot of other work, and Yan Kun and the others enjoy treatment, the officers on the ship let him control the warship, and he grew up very fast.
Soon though, he will face the real test!
Rough!
Pirate!
