Zhao Yu and his entourage walked up the ladder and returned to the first floor to be the paddle cabin, which is equivalent to the power cabin of a modern ship. Its position is higher than the waterline, lower than the side of the ship, and the clear height in the cabin is about six feet. There are ten oars on each side of the cabin, and there are portholes near the top of the cabin, which can be closed when the wind and waves are strong, and are usually used for lighting and ventilation, so it is much more refreshing than the bilge, and does not feel stuffy.

There are wooden ladders at the front and rear of the bilge to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel. A small war drum is placed in front of it, which acts as a metronome, and the oarsman adjusts the rhythm of the paddle by the slow and rapid sound of the drum. There is a toilet at the stern to solve physiological problems and maintain hygiene in the cabin. Because the overall length of the ship is more than 11 zhang, and the maximum width is more than 2 zhang and 5 feet, the area is not small, but there is still room for the action of the rocking oar, and the cabin is crowded. And this also needs to arrange the sailors' eating, drinking, and sleeping, which needs to be well designed and arranged.

"Who's the boatswain?" Zhao Yu entered the cabin, and the crew lined up to greet him, he looked at it and asked.

"Your Highness, the lowly Jiang Chuntian is the boatswain!" Seeing His Royal Highness's inquiry, a man standing at the head of the line came out and saluted.

"Well, this king asks you, how many people do you have?" Zhao Yu saw that his badge was blue, which was the logo of a middle- and low-level officer, and nodded and asked.

"Your Highness, the sailors' team has a boatswain and a deputy chief, and there are forty oarsmen and six sail lifters, making a total of forty-eight people!" Jiang Chun reported immediately.

"Jiang Teamzheng, if the oarsman or sail lifter is injured and cannot perform his duties, how to deal with it?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Your Highness, if anyone reports injury or illness before going to sea, the ship's doctor shall inquire about it, and after confirmation, report to the captain that it is forbidden to board the ship, and the commander shall draw and replenish it from the reserve personnel; If there is an injury or illness after going to sea, if the number of people is small, it will be deployed in the team, and if the team cannot be deployed, it will be reported to the captain to be deployed from the ship to ensure the normal operation of the ship! Jiang Chun replied immediately.

"Not bad!" Zhao Yuren nodded like a dog and smiled, "The cabin is cramped, how do you place your belongings and rest!" ”

"Your Highness, please look!" Jiang Chun took a step back and squatted down to lift the bottom plate under his feet and said, "The personal clothes, bedding and sundries of the crew on weekdays are stored here, taken out when resting, and put back when not in use." There is also a place for storing weapons and tools, which is very convenient. ”

"The crew rest adopts a rotation system, which is driven by sails when cruising, with two sail lifters and ten oarsmen on duty, rotating every two hours; If it is in combat readiness, it will be manned by twenty oarsmen and three sail lifters, and it will still be rotated every two hours; In wartime, all personnel are on duty and are not allowed to leave without permission. Jiang Chun stood up and pulled open the folded shelf on the bulkhead and said, "Non-rotating personnel can lie on the ground between the shelves and the turrets!" ”

"And where do you rest?" Zhao Yu looked at it and nodded, such an arrangement can completely satisfy the sailors that they have a place to rest.

"Your Highness, the lowly and deputy chiefs are separated from the first and last staircase compartments!" Jiang Chun took two steps back and opened the door of the compartment under the wooden ladder and said.

"Yes, very well arranged! What do you think? Zhao Hao leaned in to take a look, the space in the compartment was not large, that is, a narrow bed and a bookcase, but this marked the existence of class and privilege, and class is indispensable in the army.

"Your Highness, you think it is very good to be lowly in your duties, so that things have a fixed place and people have peace. It was much more convenient than other warships, and at that time, if there was a bigger wind and waves, the debris would roll around, and people would have nothing to control! Jiang Chun pointed to the ubiquitous handrails and said secretly.

"This is all from the hands of His Highness, so don't teach them!" Zhou Xiang said with a smile, and the sailors on the ship looked at His Highness in amazement, "Don't you still believe it?" Everything on this ship, every design was designed by His Highness himself......"

"How to escape in case of distress, can you know?" Zhao Yu listened to the joy in his heart, it seemed that his hard work was indeed not in vain, he waved his hand to stop Zhou Xiang, who was still verbose, and pointed to an oarsman and asked again.

"Your Highness, you must wear a life jacket when you go out of the cabin, when you are on duty, and when there is a war. If the vessel is in distress, you must wear a life jacket and wait for orders; If you need to abandon the ship, you should evacuate by lifeboat in order of duty from lowest to highest. The oarsman replied with a straight straight.

"Well, that's good." The oarsman's answers are all written in the manual, and he can memorize them word for word, and the explanation is still attentive, "Have you ever practiced?" ”

"Your Highness, the commander has strictly ordered that a survival drill must be conducted every ten days, and everyone in the Destruction Front Army must participate, and those who fail to meet the requirements are forbidden to board the ship!" The oarsman replied.

"Commander Chen did a good job!" Zhao Yu looked at Chen Renweng and said, after a period of training, now the experience that the Destroying Front Army has gained, and has formulated a training outline for each position and carried out planned training, of course, this is also his instruction.

When he spoke, he was strict and a few people were holding a life jacket to study, Zhao Yu smiled and did not speak, this thing is standard in modern times for almost watery work, but it is still a new thing in this era. In ancient times, there could have been no such thing as foam or rubber, so he had to replace it with a lighter cork, divided into several pieces, wrapped in orange linen cloth, connected by a belt, and equipped with a whistle. The turtle boat's lifeboat is placed in the cabin in the shape of a folding assault boat, and once there is a police, it is pushed into the sea through the tail gate, but it is not towed at the stern of the boat as a lifesaving purpose like other warships.

"Your Highness is really eccentric, this kind of good thing has been given to the Destroying Front, but the other sailors don't!" Liu Zhu said jealously when he saw it.

"Hehe, we are all trying here, and we will distribute it to other armies when it is good, but it is not His Highness's partiality!" Chen Renweng smiled and relieved His Highness.

"Commander Chen, you are cheap and good, my ship is not more comfortable than yours, and now I want to exchange with you and be the commander of this Destroying Frontier Army!" Yoo so teased.

"Don't make fun of the last general, now that all the ships have entered service, they don't even have a ship number, and they say that His Highness is biased!" Chen Renweng said with a depressed face, but everyone could hear that there was a lot of pride in his voice.

"Your Highness is here, hurry up and ask for it!" Seeing this, everyone was half instigating, half coaxing.

"Your Highness, hurry up and give your name!" Ying Jieyan also joined in the fun, and the generals on the side also shouted, lest it not be lively.

"This ......" Zhao Yu had no qualifications to give people inscriptions and names in his previous life, and when he arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, he could hide if he cowardly, but today he couldn't hide, and he scratched his ears and thought about it, "The Destroying Front Army is taken from the meaning of destroying the enemy in Zhengfeng, this is the act of a warrior, so call it the warrior!" ”…… (To be continued.) )
