Chapter 14: The Chieftains of Lobaiyi (1)

"Chiefs, be careful of your step, this road is no better than Brunei, the villain heard that the roads in Sili Harbor are paved with stone slabs, and it is very frank to walk on it, but we are poor here, but we can't do it."

"Chief, please go this way, the largest roof in front is the villain's house, very shabby, I don't want the chiefs to be blue-eyed, and I hope that the mansion will not be surprised."

"Chiefs, please take a seat, it's all some rough food, and I hope that the mansion and the lords will take care of it."

Guo Lansheng looked at the new prefect in front of him, and his heart was cloudy for a while, and he didn't know if he had taken the initiative to make the right move.

Originally, this eight-sided exquisite man who had not been able to calculate the dignified Nanyang East Road Economic Strategy Division of the Great Song Dynasty would send such a small lord to be the governor of this place. The lord of Kwok is not sexist, just said that there is a queen in Kelantan, north of Manraka, who governs the country very prosperously.

But since the female chief landed, she still can't see her mood, and her cold face is really not compatible with the current weather.

Xiong Jingning did not perceive the inner world of this former Hong Kong lord, and he chose to serve here not for his girlish feelings and the beautiful mountains and rivers here, but what she saw at the moment, there was nothing that made her eyes shine, and she really couldn't show a smiling face.

Hearing that the female chief doesn't like meat, Guo Lansheng specially prepared coconut milk rice and all kinds of fresh fruits for her, but she still failed to mention Xiong Ningning's interest, but obviously offended the other two again.

A man behind Chief Xiong is taller than ordinary people, and I heard that this is the general of the Great Song Dynasty who will guard this place in the future.

Ma Qianhu spent a long time in the military academy, and finally got an opportunity to go north, this time with one hundred and fifty people selected from the remaining cadets to guard this place, and even the ancient beating of the north was also under his control. The last fifty remaining seeds of the Army's Martial Arts Hall will be trained in Brunei along with the newly recruited 500 recruits, and Li Xiao also asked Ying to go to the Bajau departments to recruit another 300 teenagers to supplement Ma Qianhu's hands.

Even though the justifiable and high-spirited Ma Dujian would not mind the neglect of Guo Gangzhu, which should now be called Commissioner Guo, the strong man behind Ma Qianhu would definitely hold a grudge for a day.

Although Feng Xiaochen has been cleared a lot, but compared with anyone here, he still deserves the word 'fat', he has been busy in Sili Harbor for two months, I thought that this time the expatriate to the Northeast could get a good deal, but I didn't want the new official to take office and not even get a good meal, even though the Senate required that the masses should not be taken lightly, but this is obviously known as the most extravagant Guo family in the local area, and he took the initiative to take refuge, does he, a member of the CPPCC, not want to do it?

Looking at the faces of the chiefs sweeping the food, Guo Lansheng was secretly amused in his heart, and it seemed that his hand was still easy to use, and his own arrangements were really foolproof, this time he was going to make an impression in front of the leaders, as long as he served the few people in front of him well, presumably even if the Xiong Mansion couldn't figure out his temperament for a while, someone would speak for him.

Thinking of this, Committee member Guo smiled and said, "Forgive me, a few leaders, it was the villain who overlooked. ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the servants and maids who had been waiting outside rushed in and brought up plates of sumptuous dishes. Seeing the hard dishes, Chief Feng's face was already cloudy and clear, and after taking a bite of the roasted local pork, the smell of burnt aroma and spices in his mouth had already made the chief, who looked as round as his face, show a long-lost smile.

Guo Lansheng inspected the expressions of several chiefs, and finally caught the rare change on Chief Xiong's face, followed his gaze, and laughed.

"This is the dog, today I wanted him to see the majesty of the chiefs, but he didn't understand the rules and collided with the mansion."

"It doesn't matter, what's your name?" Xiong Ningning didn't pay much attention to Guo Lansheng, but seemed to be very interested in this kid.

Guo Lansheng still wanted to help, but he only heard the young man and replied himself: "Kuma." ”

"Who told you to say this." Guo Lansheng changed color when he heard this, and then smiled at Xiong Ningning: "The dog doesn't know anything, and he originally had a Chinese name." ”

"Han's name is Guo Xiong." The boy replied again.

Before he could react, there was a burst of giggles, and when everyone looked over, the person who laughed turned out to be Xiong Ningning, who had been disgusted with his surroundings before.

Ma Qianhu looked at his heart and said, "Sure enough, he is still a person from the Ministry of Education."

Although Xiong Ningning is a design professional, he has always liked education, so when he sees children, he is particularly interested. Originally, she came here to educate the people here, otherwise the political hall would not have specially dispatched a deputy from the Ministry of Rites and Missions Department to help her.

The summer sun is extraordinarily bright, even under the heavy thatched shack, it still reflects the brilliance of the young Guo Xiong, which makes people happy to look at.

Xiong Ningning glanced at Cui Xueli, the deputy sitting next to him, and then showed a pleased smile and said to Guo Xiong.

"Have you ever studied?"

…………

The sun was shining, the mist was thousands of miles, Zhang Jialang stood steadily at the bow of the ship, while silently reciting a few key paragraphs of the naval drill in his heart, while enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him, the last time he saw this scene on the sea was a long time before he was captured.

With his limited age, it is hard to describe the feeling of standing on a deck several feet high and looking out to sea.

This ship is really as majestic as a city, and it turns out that walking on such a huge ship is really like walking on flat ground.

With a displacement of 6,000 tons, in addition to the 100,000-ton monster parked in the harbor of Labuan Island in this time and space, the ship under the boy's feet is definitely a giant existence, and the largest warship in Spain at this time has not exceeded 2,000 tons, and it is still made of wood, and it has no power.

The ship, recovered from an oceanographic museum, was originally a commercial cargo ship operating on the China-Southeast Asia route, and considering that the threat posed to such a behemoth in this time and space was almost non-existent, it was only symbolically loaded with a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns, not even a single gun, on the deck. However, in terms of the combat power of the entire ocean at this time, the Fengcheng is enough to challenge the surface power of the entire East Asia alone.

Except for the No. 4 refrigerated cargo compartment, which was filled with ice, the rest of the ship's warehouses were mostly empty, and the amount of money to be transported to Kuching was pitifully small compared to the nearly 100,000 stone loaded, not even much more than the spare fuel. After unloading excess cargo off the coast of Todong and at the mouth of the Bashi River yesterday, the ship was even closer to being empty.

It was precisely because of the small amount of cargo that the draft of the hull was not too deep, and this was precisely to avoid running aground when landing in the south. Kuching is covered with a dense network of water, and even at a depth of less than three metres below the current waterline, it is not always possible to pass safely. It is precisely because of this caution that the bow of the ship has a height of nearly ten meters on the sea, so that Zhang Zhaoneng can get up early in the morning and still have the interest to stand on the deck.

This ship is also a little old, designed to speed 15 knots, now it seems that it can't be done, barely to 8 knots, can still afford to support, plus the downstream, can also go up and down 12 knots. Although it was a little slower, after a day and a night of sailing, it had already crossed the westernmost point of the area under its control, and now the big ship had turned southeast and gone out for more than 300 miles, and one day it would be able to reach the open sea of Kuching.

But in the eyes of all the young men of the Marine Corps, such a scale of transformation and such a fast speed is already an act that cannot be described as shocking.

If the army's capture of Tanjung Maya along the coast of fishing boats can be described as an extravagant march, then the fleet that came out this time can really be described as a magnificent conquest.

At least among Zhang Zhao and most of the naval cadets who followed the veterans, it was a feeling of pride, and it was spreading throughout the ship.

And that pride should require a way to make it public in a slightly restrained way.

During the free time every day, Zhang Zhao and other partners came to the deck to look at the sea level in the distance, which is why they are here.

"You're watching the sunrise again?" A voice sounded behind Zhang Zhao.

If you only look at the sunrise, the stern of the ship is far better than the bow of the ship, but in fact, the meaning is the same, all the scenery you see now is given by the sunrise.

"Headmaster." The surrounding teenagers saluted together.

The students of the Nanyang Naval Academy always involuntarily maintained a tall posture in front of Liu Dawu, as if they were deliberately competing with the army in front of their principal.

"You all slept well yesterday?"

Liu Dawu was doing his usual concern, and he had already done the same thing yesterday.

There are many veterans on the ship, but when it comes to the baby bumps of the two hundred navy, he is the most concerned.

"There is good food and drink on board, how can you not sleep well."

Du Ping's temperament is straightforward, and he has always been liked by the instructors, and although he is at the bottom of the grades, he still brought him out. At this time, he still had an old temperament, and Liu Dawu didn't think it was wrong, but laughed.

"It's just that this boat is a little smaller, and you're used to activities on weekdays, I'm afraid you won't even be able to stretch your hands and feet for the past two days."

Du Ping also smiled and said: "The dormitory on the ship is smaller than the one in the school, but they are all out to sea, who will nest in the room all day, and it is much better than before." ”

Du Ping's words are true, when he crossed south with his family, he first took a big ship to Nanyang to sell goods, but when it was said to be a big ship, it was only 800 materials, not even a fraction of this iron ship. Later, when he came to Luzon, he changed to a smaller local merchant ship, several families were crowded together, and there were stoves and stoves, and the residence was very unbearable, and several people were sick before they arrived.

Compared with this, the dormitory on the big iron ship of the chiefs is not only clean and tidy, but also two people in a room, small is smaller, but not stuffy at all, not to mention that there is a separate toilet, and even can take a bath, the weather is hot, every day before noon, the students will also be organized to exercise on the deck, although it is not as good as the usual training, but it is also sweaty, before lunch, the instructor will arrange for everyone to take a shower.

This kind of arrangement is not like marching on the sea at all, but more like coming to enjoy happiness.

Yao Zhe also said: "Where is this boat still small? ”

The Fengcheng is 135.26 meters long and 17.74 meters wide.

Liu Dawu didn't answer again, so he pointed to several islands and reefs in the distant sea and asked.

"Do you know where that is?"

All the students looked at the past, but they saw that between the water and the sky, there were several reefs that appeared and disappeared in the extreme distance, and they couldn't really see it, so they didn't dare to answer.

Liu Dawu had the heart to teach everyone a lesson, and said solemnly: "You remember, this place is called Zengmu Reef, and it has been owned by me since ancient times. ”

Du Ping listened and said: "Didn't the principal say that under the whole world, isn't it Xia Tu, and there are thousands of islands in the South Seas, don't they all belong to China?" ”

Liu Dawu was speechless for a while, this student is right, which of the islands in the South China Sea has not been included in his pocket by the political affairs hall? What's wrong with me today, why did you suddenly mention this verse, isn't it really a feeling?

But the principal's demeanor cannot be discarded, and after thinking about it, he said to the students: "It's good that you understand, now you are all members of my Great Song Fubo Army, and you must not forget your mission at any time. ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Rest assured, the principal will never dare to forget." ”

Du Ping, Yao Zhe and others who were standing on the side also echoed one after another.

At this time, the sea breeze is gentle, and the Polaris flag standing on the bow of the ship flutters in the wind.

I don't know who started it, and someone put together the naval song that they had just learned.

"Bao Zuo Yanxu Wan Guo Huan-"

"Jingxing arches five clouds-"

"The water is clear and the spring is beautiful——"

"Gathering phoenixes between the flowers of the festival——"

"The ship of Fubo Lou is out of the South China Sea-"

"Jieyun Ge Yao Zhongtian-"

"Remembering the Princes and Helping Each Other—"

"Clean up the old rivers and mountains from scratch—"
