Chapter 676: Sailing

There are too many delicious foods in the back kitchen area, so many officials in Xi Tianzhu have stayed in the back kitchen area for the longest time, and they have also tasted a lot of delicious food, and their stomachs are all full, especially some officials who have already eaten breakfast.

After leaving the back kitchen area, everyone passed by the dining area, in fact, this dining area is not one, there are several places, there are large areas that can accommodate a hundred people, there are also small areas that can accommodate thirty people, and there are small cubicles that can only accommodate a few people.

The reason for this setting is that it is affected by the structure of the ship, the supporting structure of the hull, and many functional structures, all of which occupy a lot of space, and between these immutable structures, there may be a lot of small spaces.

The large room with a large number of people is naturally the dining area for ordinary soldiers and sailors, and the dining area that can only accommodate a few people is the dining area for generals and officials.

Because the meal was not ready, the dining area was empty and there was no one.

"Just now near the back kitchen are all dining rooms, and in front of it is the accommodation place, which can ensure that everyone has a bed."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to introduce.

The bed of accommodation is indeed one person, however, not all ships can do this, many can only meet about half of the needs, after all, all the people of the ship, it is impossible to rest at the same time, and someone has to work, according to a person who sleeps for one-third of the time a day, three people with a bed is enough, and Li An's fleet, most of the ships can meet two people with a bed, or even more, only Li An's boat, can do one bed per person, There's even some surplus.

The environment of the dining area is extremely clean and high-end, and the accommodation area is even more powerful, especially the high-rise accommodation area, which has a high sense of modernity, which makes people feel high-end when they see it.

The officials of Xitianzhu, after walking the entire ship around, became more and more envious in their hearts, where is this ship, it is completely a large floating restaurant on the sea!

According to their understanding, the interior of the ship should be very dark, after all, a backward ship is like this, a few torches are lit in the cabin, which can only be lit, not too bright, and it will fill the cabin with a smell of smoke, more or less a little.

There is no such problem with electric lighting, as long as there are enough electric lights and enough wattage, they can illuminate the cabin very brightly, and there will not be the slightest smell of smoke, Ang Lee's boat has done this, all the important passage positions are very bright, only the less important positions, will appear a little dark.

In addition, in order to make the room as bright as possible, many of the furniture in the hallway are bright colors, such as white, gold, and light blue, and of course, the sheen of the metal is also relatively good, in short, there is almost no dark paint.

"Li Shilang, it's almost time, it's time for us to go."

One of his subordinates reminded.

Li An nodded, looked at more than a dozen West Tianzhu officials, and said, "It's almost done, let's go out!" ”

After leaving the cabin, everyone went onto the deck, and suddenly felt that it was much darker, it was morning, and it was still dark, and the cabin was very bright because of the light, so that it seemed dark outside.

"The cabin is brighter than the outside, and when you come out, you think it's dark?"

"To be able to visit the Datang steamship in person, this trip is really not in vain!"

Everyone in West Tianzhu was in a very happy mood.

"Doodoo ......"

The steamship began to whistle, indicating that it was about to sail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official can't be retained, the ship is about to start, you should get off the ship quickly!"

Li An opened his mouth and asked the people of Xi Tianzhu to get off the boat.

"Li Shilang went all the way, and we said goodbye."

One by one, they took their leave and disembarked from the steamboat.

After the last West Tianzhu official disembarked, the ladder was removed, the steamer honked again, and gradually left the harbor and headed northwest.

Li An stood on the deck, looking at the West Tianzhu officials who saw them off, becoming smaller and smaller, and finally becoming small ants, and the entire port became only a little the size of a palm.

The sea breeze is very strong, and it is very comfortable to blow on people's faces, and it makes people's mood improve all of a sudden.

It's been half a year since I started, but because I've always been in a tropical climate, I can't feel the change of seasons at all, and in the tropics, which is close to the equator, there are only two seasons a year at most, that is, the rainy season and the dry season.

In such an environment, you don't have to endure the cold of winter and can't wear heavy cotton clothes, but at the same time, you lose the opportunity to experience the snow-white world of heavy snow.

Every day, you can only see the scene of green trees, which will make people a little tired, and always feel that something is missing in life, and if you can suddenly see the scene of the university, it will make people's mood different.

The reason why people like to travel is because they have been in one place for too long, they are a little bored, and they can't stand it, so they want to go farther away and see the bustling world outside.

Its essence is to go from the place where you are tired of living, to the place where others are tired of living, the picture is a fresh, if someone has been staying in a tourist place that you are satisfied with, it is estimated that after a few months, you will be completely irritable, and you can't stay anymore.

It can be said that people in the tropics are more yearning for the snow-white world in the north, and feel that it is very romantic, it is a fairy tale world, and people in the north also envy the birds and flowers in the south all year round, and they don't have to worry about not having cotton clothes to spend the winter all year round.

People will always feel that what they can't get is the best, and if they get it, they will feel that it is not interesting, and that's it.

If you can't get a woman, you will always pursue it desperately and exert all your strength, and once you get it, you will seem a little absent-minded, and you always want to change your goal.

Living in the leafy south, they always want to go to the snow in the north to have snowball fights, play skiing or something, while people living in the north always feel that the greenery in the south makes people yearn for it and want to see it.

Li Ang has been to all kinds of places from the cold Yingzhou to the tropics, and has enjoyed a lot of charming scenery.

Of course, this world is so big, Ang Lee has not seen all the scenery, there are many, many landscapes, which Ang Lee has never seen, natural landscapes are only one of them, and there are many humanities and customs, which are not something that can be understood by staying in one place and relying on other people's stories.

Ang Lee didn't go to many places in his previous life, and after coming to Datang, he has been to too many places, and Ang Lee will not be satisfied, he has to go to more places and appreciate more beauty.

With the more and more advanced steamboats, Australia and the Americas are going to go, this is still a good place he proposed and discovered, no matter what, he has to go there, a trip to pure tourism is a very good choice.

There are many grassland peoples in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and the land they occupy is relatively barren and too far away from the Central Plains of China, so the various dynasties of China have not been able to occupy the land in the north, so that all dynasties have to face the threat of grassland peoples from the north.

Although Datang now has a strong mechanized force, it is completely capable of crushing the cavalry of the northern nomads, but if it can completely incorporate the vast land of the north into the territory of Datang, wouldn't it be better, the further you go north, the colder the climate, but the north also contains huge resources, and after occupying the north, it can provide huge resources for Datang.

Therefore, after Li An opened up the Maritime Silk Road, the next goal was to open up the territory to the north, and use the method of building a railway to extend the railway of the Tang Dynasty from Zhongcheng to the north, and the first step was to reach the vicinity of Beihai, and then continue to build to the north to control farther and colder areas.

As long as Datang's railway can be extended to the north, then the territory of the north can be well controlled, and the north will become the county of Datang, and it will never be able to be separated from Datang.

Control can be owned, this is the eternal truth, how much territory can the Tang Dynasty control, how large the territory area can be, the dynasties of the past dynasties can not control the north, therefore, the grassland in the north has never been the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and as long as the Tang Dynasty can control there, it will definitely be able to become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

From time to time, Li Ang will look forward to the scene of Datang occupying the whole world, and once he looks forward to it, he will feel a lot more comfortable, which is called a sense of achievement.

Most of the achievements of the Tang Empire are created by Li An, if it were not for Li An's efforts, the Tang Empire would still be the backward country of cold weapons, and now, the Tang Dynasty has been transformed into an industrial country by Li An.

Moreover, as more technological products are manufactured, in the future, Datang will become a more fascinating country of science and technology, and there will be more advanced equipment to meet Datang's goal of conquering and controlling the world.

Ang Lee's Tang fleet, with hundreds of ships, large and small, lined up on the sea, is very spectacular, and the speed of travel is very fast.

At this pace, it would take one day and one night to reach the port in the northwest.

"Li Shilang, there are so many merchant ships! That's a lot more than before! ”

The subordinates found that there were more merchant ships at sea all of a sudden, and many merchant ships set off with the Tang fleet.

It is estimated that these merchants are still a little worried about the pirates being wiped out, and they are afraid that the pirates will have remnants to rob them, so they set off with Li An's fleet, so that even if there are pirates on the way, the Tang fleet will protect them.

However, these merchants overlooked one point, their ships were too slow, and it was impossible to keep up with Li An's Tang fleet, and they were thrown farther and farther away.

"When these merchants heard that the pirates had been wiped out, they became emboldened, and most of them went to the Great Food Country to engage in trade, and to engage in overseas trade, which was very profitable in any era."

Li An opened his mouth to guess.

"Li Shilang, the main force of pirates has been annihilated, but it cannot be regarded as a total annihilation, in the mountains and forests on the periphery of Anzhu Port, there are still many remnants of pirates, they are hiding too deep, our army's vanguard soldiers and horses are insufficient, and they cannot carry out a total annihilation of the mountains, they can only control the important port area, and the radius is only twenty miles, and they are harassed from time to time, and soldiers are often injured."

The subordinate spoke.

Li An thought for a moment and said, "When the army arrives at Anzhu Port, this official will personally find a way to annihilate all these pirates, and no one will be left." ”

As soon as he thought of these remnants of pirates hiding in the mountains, Li An thought of the guerrilla warfare in later generations, these guys hid in the mountains, even if they were a large army pulling a net to search the mountains, it would be difficult to have any big results, in short, their survivability was very strong, and it was difficult for a stupid method to work.

However, Li An had a way to deal with them, as long as he arrived at Anzhu Port and carefully understood the local situation, he could find a way to deal with these pirates according to the specific situation.

Li An is confident that he will eliminate all these stubborn pirates, of course, it will definitely take a lot of effort, but Li An has time, after arriving at Anzhu Port, he will personally plan the construction of Anzhu Prefecture, and he will have to stay for a long time before leaving, during this time, it can be completely parallel to the fight against the remaining forces of piracy.

During the daytime sailing, Li Ang saw a lot of merchant ships, and also saw a lot of animals in the ocean, and at night, except for looking at the stars in the sky, there was really nothing to see, and he would feel comfortable when he returned to the cabin.

There are beauties and books in the cabin, but unfortunately there are no entertainment methods such as video games, which will make people feel a little regretful.

"Yun'a, beauty, you dance!"

Li An lay on the couch and said boredly.

Yuna and the beauty glanced at each other and felt that Ang Lee was weird, because the two of them had never danced, and Ang Lee knew it.

"Ah Lang, slaves can't dance, you know."

Yuna asked.

Li An smiled: "Ah Lang knows that you can't dance, but you've seen others dance!" Just learn to jump a few times, as long as you dance, Ah Lang will like it. ”

"Is that good? I'm afraid it's not good to jump! ”

The beauty was embarrassed.

Ang Lee encouraged: "Jump! Hurry up and jump, as long as you dance, Ah Lang likes to watch it. ”

Yun'a and the beauty couldn't stand up, so they had to rely on their own memories, twisting their bodies indiscriminately, pretending to dance.

To be honest, the two of them danced really not very well, not professional at all, but, after all, they are young and smart, so even if they twist a few times, it is very comfortable, and there is a special taste, which is the so-called green taste, the green taste of dancing.

"Yes, it's good, jump a little longer, Ah Lang will be rewarded."

Ang Lee crossed his legs and smiled evilly in appreciation.

"I'm wearing too much, I'm sweating, take off some and keep jumping."

Ang Lee guided with a wicked smile.
