Chapter 62: The Denglai Fleet!

Transporting goods is simpler than transporting people.

There are already more than 400 new forces here, and soon, Shark Island will also select more people, and Xu Changqing only needs to control the general direction.

But the supplies on the side of the Green Snake Forest can't be transported today, not to mention those in Ningyuan City.

However, Xu Changqing is not in a hurry, the overall situation is already under control at this time.

He only needs to keep an eye on it for a day or two, and after that, let Uncle Guang lead the sons and daughters to transport it slowly.

However, it is necessary to build more bamboo rafts, after all, it will be a big toss to get from Shark Island to that new big island.

Thinking about it, Xu Changqing's heart suddenly moved!

Can...... Can you get some boats from the Denglai fleet?

At this time, with Li Hongyun's popular science before, Xu Changqing also had more understanding of Daming's ships.

Although there are some warships in Denglai's fleet, more of them are ordinary sand ships that transport people and goods, just like the three ships that Li Hongyun sold to Xu Changqing.

These sand boats are actually not very valuable.

At this time, Xu Changqing still has tens of thousands of taels of silver, if he can make a little more money, go through the path of the officials on Denglai's side, and build ten or eight ships, it seems to be ...... It's not impossible.

The more he thought about it, the more Xu Changqing felt that it was feasible.

Even, it is not difficult to say that Hong Chengchou came forward.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing still gave up the idea of asking Hong Chengchou to come forward.

Lao Hong is really unpredictable.

As the saying goes, "A companion is like a tiger!" ”

This kind of thing, it's better to be secretive.

Li Hongyun is on Juehua Island at this time, and it shouldn't be a big problem for him to be this middleman.

The night had sunk and the air by the sea was already a little colder.

Xu Changqing was lying in the tent, but he couldn't fall asleep after turning around.

Li Hongyun has no big problem coming forward, and the news has already been handed to him, thinking that Li Hongyun should come over early tomorrow morning.

However, the favor of the Li family is a bit big....

In particular, he was a little accustomed to the warm fragrant nephrite by his side, and at this time, the peony and the others all went to Shark Island, and the Mu around them was empty, and Xu Changqing suddenly couldn't accept it.

"Hehe, it's really hard for the hell to be extravagant."

Turned over, just wanted to close his eyes and rest, and recuperate enough energy to deal with tomorrow's things, Xu Changqing suddenly found that his chest was bulging, and he hadn't read the mother's handwritten letter that Xu Zhong and the others brought.

Xu Changqing hurriedly sat up, took out the letter, and examined it carefully.

After all, her mother Yang was born in a big family, and she wrote beautifully.

In the letter, Yang no longer educates Xu Changqing in a very violent way like before, and is mainly based on encouragement, and elaborates that the family will continue to provide stronger support to Xu Changqing in the future, so that Xu Changqing will guard against arrogance and rashness, and be safe, not too impulsive because he wants to be brilliant, so as to let himself fall into a passive situation.

Xu Changqing looked at it, and felt warm in his heart, as if he saw his mother writing a letter to himself under the lamp.

In the end, the Yang family briefly introduced some of the origins between the Xu family and Cao Bianjiao, and Xu Changqing looked at it for a while, and felt that something was wrong.

Because his mother Yang said it more clearly, Cao Bianjiao and his father Xu Huchen had a lifelong friendship, which was very iron!

This made Xu Changqing feel slightly embarrassed for a while.

Could it be that I have always guessed wrong before? Cao Bianjiao's house is not because of his mother...... But because of my father...?

No wonder that guy has always regarded himself as a nephew......

After a while, Xu Changqing calmed down, and his whole mood couldn't help but suddenly become much brighter.

Human beings are inherently complex.

Even if Xu Changqing is a traverser, many things are very clear about the principle, but when things really have to be specific to himself, it is a completely different matter.

From the perspective of family affection, Xu Changqing hopes that his mother can find another person, after all, after many years of loneliness, mother and son depend on each other, this kind of life is by no means imaginable by normal people.

However, from the perspective of righteousness, Xu Changqing hopes to maintain the status quo, after all, his father sacrificed his life for the country, and he has always been very good to his mother.

This is actually a conflicting proposition in itself.

However, then again, as a son, after that, if the mother really has this idea, no matter what she chooses, she must be supportive!

Xu Changqing's mother's letter made Xu Changqing sleep very soundly this night, as if he had sustenance in the depths of his soul and a harbor to live in.

Early the next morning, Li Hongyun rushed over.

He didn't expect Xu Changqing to have such a big appetite and actually set his sights on the ship of the Denglai Sailor.

However, Xu Changqing thought of him for the first time, and found him and asked him to be this middleman, Li Hongyun was extremely proper in his heart, and he had extra face.

The two were already very familiar with each other, and there was not much nonsense, so after a brief exchange of cores, Li Hongyun went directly to the fleet.

Xu Changqing rested here for a while, had breakfast, and arranged some material affairs, that is, he took Zhao Zengjin and a dozen relatives to the east of Ningyuan to check the huge fleet of Denglai Naval Division.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, navigation technology was actually quite developed, and it was definitely the world's first-line ranks.

It's a pity.

White clouds and dogs, the world changes.

With the self-proclaimed capable man, he closed the door and burned all the treasure ship materials of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, and history was forked here......

But Rao is Ming Dynasty has been pursuing the policy of sea ban since then, but this kind of thing is not thorough enough, to put it bluntly, the profits are too high, enough for many businessmen who are not afraid of death to carry their heads to work.

Correspondingly, even if the Ming Dynasty sailors are not too strong, they are by no means weak.

However, in the northern region, the real strength of the Ming Dynasty's water division is mainly three, one is the Juehua Island water division in western Liaoning, the other is the Denglai water division of the peninsula, and the third is the Tianjin water division on the Tianjin Wei side.

However, after the death of Juehua Island, the most elite manpower of the Ming Dynasty, and the Sailor Group, which should have played the greatest role, was almost wiped out......

Coupled with the constant harassment of the Tartars, it is extremely difficult to build warships along the entire northern route, let alone build warships, even if it is a small broken ship.

Even if it is a Denglai sailor, it is a bit ill-fated.

In the rebellion of Kong Youde that year, Rang's Denglai was almost uprooted, and the Denglai sailors also suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, at this time, Su Guansheng, the director of the Denglai Sea Patrol and the Tianjin Water Division, was a ruthless person, and directly merged the Tianjin Water Division into the Denglai Water Division, and managed them together, so that his strength was concentrated.

Rao is like this, at this time, Denglai's fleet also seems to be huge, but in fact, there are very few warships, and the huge fleet of hundreds of ships may be less than two percent.

But even so, this huge shock and deterrence, even Xu Changqing, who is from later generations, is still a little unstoppably excited, and his heart yearns for it!

This kind of continuous enormity is too spectacular and too exciting!

It is definitely dozens or hundreds of times more spectacular than the hundreds of luxury car fleets of those local tyrants in later generations!

The coastline on the east side of Ningyuan City is actually not very smooth, there are many reefs, and there are no excellent bays for a huge fleet to moor, and the fleet is parked in the area close to the inland sea at this time.

However, whether it is Denglai or Ningyuan, both sides are very experienced, and a large number of pontoon bridges have been built, and all kinds of small boats and manpower have been driven on the track like ants, and they are often transporting supplies.

Although this efficiency is not too fast, it is not slow, and it is estimated that it will take three or two days to clean up.

After the big ship in front was emptied, it sailed away and went around to the back to anchor, and the ships behind continued to make up for it.

It's still very orderly.

Soon, Xu Changqing saw Hong Chengchou and his party rushing over, and Zhang Ruoqi, the supervising army, and the general soldiers of all the departments were all in the list.

This batch of materials from Denglai is directly related to the core lifeblood of this war, and obviously, no one dares to slack off.

Xu Changqing thought for a while, and did not lean towards Hong Chengchou's side.

Even though Xu Changqing was already qualified to come over at this time, chat with many bigwigs, and brag about it.

But at this time, in front of this core lifeline, it is better to keep a low profile.

Otherwise, others still think that they are just guerrillas and have to worry about these supplies, which is not a good sign.

Time flies.

Before noon, Hong Chengchou and many general soldiers laughed and dragged the civil officials and military generals of Denglai to Ningyuan City for luncheon.

Xu Changqing's side, at this time, was already familiar with some Denglai generals at the tail of the fleet.

Xu Changqing was a native of Luzhong in later generations, his hometown was very close to Denglai, and his hometown dialect was to come as soon as he opened his mouth, and it was not difficult to mingle with these generals at all.

In addition, Xu Changqing made a generous move, and directly asked Zhao Zengjin to take people to Ningyuan City to buy a lot of good wine and food, and let people bring a lot of fresh fish from the Green Snake Forest, which was stewed directly in the cauldron on the boat.

Xu Changqing accompanied more than a dozen officers around him, chatting while eating, the atmosphere was very good, and he soon got a lot of news that he wanted to know.

This kind of ordinary sand boat, there is absolutely no problem in winning eight hundred taels!

These are all broken ships, and the young ones are probably more than ten years old.

Several shipyards in Denglai have not been worked much since Kong Youde's rebellion, and they are basically in a state of abandonment.

After drinking for a while, Xu Changqing found an excuse to leave, let these officers drink by themselves, and took Zhao Zengjin and a few people to carefully check the regulations of the sand boat.

Although the appearance of these sand boats is slightly different, they are basically the same.

Generally, they are three-story or four-story cabins, more than ten or twenty meters long, and a few ships may even exceed thirty meters.

The width is also five or six meters, seven or eight meters to eight. There are nine meters in size, and the height is also uneven, and there are all kinds of them.

The specifications of the ship are mainly based on the existing keel and wood.

It is important to know that at this time, shipbuilding is not as advanced as that of later generations, and it can only be adapted to local conditions, unless it is the imperial court that contributes money and efforts, and the long-term large-scale planning can build large ships, otherwise, the standards of ships built locally are basically varied.

However, even if these ships are broken, many of them are even leaking and need to be repaired carefully, but ~, for Xu Changqing at this time, it is definitely more eye-catching than what Avantador, California, McLaren, and 911 in later generations!

Because Xu Changqing understands very well that the future is the world of the ocean!

Whoever can conquer the ocean is equivalent to conquering the planet and conquering the world!

This is definitely an unprecedented super change in the history of mankind, and the whole world is a blue ocean!

This is also the best opportunity to lay the backbone of the nation and consolidate the foundation of the nation!

The key is that these shipwrights and sailors from Denglai, even if they come out to work, the monthly silver is less than one tael, and they are just in charge of two meals....

But even so, none of these boatmen and sailors seem to be unhappy, and they are all very happy....
