Chapter 234: Set sail and set sail!

"On the vast sea, the wind gathers dark clouds. Between the clouds and the sea, the petrel flies proudly like black lightning......"

Xia Zhu stared at Cai Boyu strangely and said: "This sentence is not bad, but unfortunately it does not conform to the rhyme, although it is vivid and lifelike, it is still not a masterpiece, you still have to say less about such a sentence, and others in the province think you are a big straw bag." ”

With the shaking of the boat, Cai Boyu's fat face became more and more pale: "This is what the official family sent me before leaving, probably hoping that I will be as ...... as Haiyan in the poem."

"This poem is vivid and lively, describing Haiyan vividly, as if it appeared in the old man's mind, and it is full of courage and perseverance, and never flinching boldness, it is really a wonderful verse!"

Cai Boli found that the first lesson he learned from Xia Zhu was that his skin was thicker than the walls of Tokyo City......

In order to show the prestige of the kingdom, the sea ships that sent the Japanese envoy this time were all the sea falcon warships of the Fujian navy, and the sea falcon ships were the largest and most powerful warships of the Great Song Dynasty, with a length of ten zhang, a width of one zhang and eight feet, a thickness of one foot at the bottom of the ship, ten oars, four or four wheels, forty-two sailors, and one hundred and eight soldiers.

Most of these soldiers are the elite of the forbidden army who are familiar with water, and Zhao Zhen is still not at ease, and even equipped the warship with a smoothbore musket that even he is reluctant to use!

The development of artillery is still ongoing, and it cannot be assembled on the Sea Falcon warship, but it can fire gunpowder bullets like a huge eight-bull crossbow that can turn the incoming enemy ship into powder, Xia Zhu and Cai Boyu saw a fishing boat being blown to pieces, Cai Boyu is a little better, he has seen the power of gunpowder bullets, but Xia Zhu was stunned by this god-like power.

The sails of the ship were full of monsoons, and the warships loaded with soldiers and goods were like arrows on the sea, breaking through the waves on the sea and speeding fast.

The sailors shouted the ropes of the trumpets to adjust the direction and strive to move forward at the maximum angle of the wind, and thirty battleships, laden with soldiers and cargo, formed a wedge-shaped assault fleet galloping on the sea level.

Such a magnificent scene, not to mention Cai Boli, even Xia Zhu, who is accustomed to seeing the world, is said to be enthusiastic, with an invincible arma in his palm, galloping overseas countries, Yang Tianchao is majestic, and the country of non-subordinate!

Thousands of weather gathered together, Xia Zhu Lao chatted and stood on the bow of the boat frantically, learning from Cai Boyu's appearance, and roared angrily: "Those who offend me Huaxia Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

The flagship's soldiers shouted along, causing the entire fleet to roar like a tiger.

The envoys on the low ship of the Wa Kingdom on the side trembled when they saw the momentum like a rainbow, such a huge and invincible fleet, covered with strong armor and armed with sharp blades, could almost wipe out all the sea power of the Wa Kingdom, and the fleet like a giant beast was not something that the Wa Kingdom could compete with at all!

This is the meteorology of a great country, this is the glorious China!

The small boats of the Japanese people tried to avoid getting too close to the warships of the Great Song Dynasty, and their little hearts subconsciously thought that the behemoth in front of them was likely to crush their small boats to powder.

The voyage at sea is boring, but the true warrior is not afraid of it, when the ship is tossed on the sea, it is as if they are wrestling with the sea, and when the sea is rolled up on the deck, each warrior will take off his boots and firmly grasp the deck with his bare feet.

The gorgeous court clothes on Cai Boyu's body have disappeared, and he is still wearing rough linen clothes, like a monkey climbing on the mast mountain: "Fix the rope, and the right rudder to avoid the huge waves ahead!" ”

Looking at Cai Boli who jumped up and down, Xia Zhu tightened the clothes on his body and quietly walked into the cabin, since he went to sea, Cai Xiaozi seemed to have changed as a person, he was originally slightly lazy and abnormal, and became the best apprentice, following the ship's helmsman to learn this and that, even if it was dirty and tiring work, he didn't care, but rushed to do it.

Efforts were always rewarded, and during this time he learned how to read charts, how to use the stars to orient, how to adjust the sails, and even when to brush the deck with tung oil......

Cai Boyu is different from others, he is the eldest princess and husband of the Great Song Empire, the brother-in-law of the official family, and the captain of the horse who is deeply appreciated by the official family, but this also means that he cannot serve as a civil and military officer, and can only wait for the official family's invitation!

"Pull it all hard!"

Cai Boyu's roar came from outside the cabin, Xia Zhu sighed slightly, what a good seedling, he was actually trapped to death by the title of a horse captain, and he could only pay a greater price than others if he wanted to get ahead, and he couldn't get the reward of his official position, even Xia Zhu himself admired him very much.

The slightly salty sea breeze entered the cabin with the smell of sweat on Cai Boyu's body, Xia Zhu frowned and said: "Look at you, where do you still look like a colt now, you are a fighter!" ”

After speaking, he threw a clean towel into Cai Boyu's arms, and Cai Boyu smiled: "What you said, I can't be a civilian, so I can only be a martial artist, what's wrong with killing Han?" The officials now elevate the status of the warriors to the same level as the literati! ”

Xia Zhu got up and took Cai Boyu's towel and wiped it on his back: "The old man really hasn't seen you like this, everyone else has sharpened their heads and drilled into the literati, you are good, you are born as a literati, you have to put shackles on your son!" Don't be afraid of others saying you're stupid! ”

Cai Boyu said indifferently: "Old man, what you said is not right, I am kind enough to teach you to be a good man!" ”

"Oh? The old man is going to listen to it! ”

Xia Zhu's sneering expression did not make Cai Boyu angry, but took out a round gourd from the secret compartment of the cabin, Xia Zhu immediately swallowed his saliva when he saw it: "You kid actually has the Qingquan Bai given by the official family!" ”

Cai Boyu smiled: "The old man has two cups? ”

Even if Xia Zhu had a lot of anger, when he saw Qingquan Bai, he licked an old face and said, "Then two cups!" ”

The burnt raw fish on the boat is grilled by charcoal fire is an excellent appetizer, the crispy dried fish with Qingquan Bai, the two of them gradually let go of their identities, Xia Zhu touched the fish oil on his mouth and said: "What is wrong with you talking about the old man's words?" ”

Cai Boyu burped: "You still have the idea of being noble and martial in your head now, which is very inappropriate, you are different from others, you are the governor of political affairs, the deputy minister of the imperial court, think about the proposition of the official family, you can be reused completely by your talent, it is impossible to go further, our official family is not the first emperor, nor is it Taizong, to put it mildly, even Taizu does not have his means and courage!" ”

Xia Zhu hurriedly covered Cai Boyu's mouth: "You kid is confused, you can say this, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Stretching out his hand to pat off Xia Zhu's hand full of salted fish, Cai Boyu smiled and said: "Don't forget, the soldiers of this boat are all the four guards of the Son of Heaven, and the ears of the partition wall are also the ears of the officials!" ”

Xia Zhu forgot about this, smacked his wine and said: "Civility and military at the same time, it is easy to say but it is too difficult to do, either like the Tang Dynasty, it is important to emphasize literature and light literature, or like our Great Song Dynasty, how can you master the scale?" It's hard, it's so hard! ”

Cai Boyu smiled: "Who do you say can master it well, isn't there one in Datang?" ”

Xia Zhu was suddenly shocked, the only one who could master the civil and military officials was the "Heavenly Khan"! Could it be that the official family wants to be the Khan of the Heavens? !

Thinking about Zhao Zhen's measures and external attitude, Xia Zhu nodded slightly: "It's true, the idea of the official family is very big, but it is not impossible, under the leadership of the official family, my Great Song Dynasty may really restore the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty!" No! The restoration of the Hantang meteorology is also just around the corner! ”

The wine is getting stronger and stronger, one old and one young are staggered, although there is only salted fish, it is still a peerless delicacy, and the aroma of the wine is very strong, Cai Boyu looked at Xia Zhu's appearance and smiled slightly, or explored the details of this old man.

Although this old man is grassy on the wall, he is not bad, although there is a lot of means of acting, there is no lack of damage, but he is still reasonable, at least he has a public heart, and the official family wants to investigate the results, and a public heart is enough......
