For those who sail for the first time, no matter how big the boat is, there will be discomfort, but fortunately, the seasickness symptoms of Old Man Su and Wang Xiaoya are not too serious, except for some dizziness and nausea, it does not affect the normal sleeping and eating. Only in this way will the voyage be meaningful to the two of them, if it is the same as the eldest princess, Hong Tao will immediately let the boat dock in Taizhou and Wenzhou and send them up.

Compared with adults, Wang Hui seems to be closer to the sea, there is no sign of seasickness in the near sea, and she can't even climb away on the deck all day long, and she can't close her mouth with a smile. The big boat is obviously more fun for her than at home, and she doesn't have to be scolded for rolling all over the ground, and she can climb as much as she wants.

When you are tired of playing, you will sit on the deck and watch the seabirds circling and smirk, or you will squat on the edge of the wooden basin and harass the fish and shrimp inside with small sticks. Whoever didn't swim the way she envisioned it would be wiped out, stabbed all over his body with a stick.

"The daughter of the Hu people, she is cold by nature and vicious!" This is Su Shi's comment to Wang Hui, he has no good impression of the mixed-race who is obviously not Han looking, even in front of King Liang.

Hong Tao didn't listen to these words at all, Old Man Su was jealous of his many children, and he didn't give them to him as a professor. It's not that I'm afraid that he will teach another Wang Xiaoya, but the main thing is that his concept is a little outdated. Bringing him out this time is not all for the sake of his daughter's affection, but more importantly, I want him to see the place where the Great Song Dynasty has changed the most.

It is completely different from cities such as Kaifeng, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, and Mingzhou, not in terms of architectural styles and customs, but in terms of people's spiritual outlook.

If these cities are compared to Wang Xiaoya, then Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou are Wang Hui, a steady and obedient, a shrewd philistine, coupled with the wild and fierce nature of the northern provinces, the Great Song Dynasty has completely departed from the original single character, and is no longer the country that Old Man Su understands.

"These big ships belong to the sea!" Just passing by the sea off Wenzhou, Old Man Su already felt the difference. Compared with Hangzhou and Mingzhou, the fleet here is larger, the ships are more neat, and the armed cargo ships of a river are driving on the sea, and they are very imposing.

What's more imposing is their way of greeting, the fleet of ships in the northern port usually just blows the brass trumpet when they see the big sea ships with the flag of Liangwangfu, and hangs the colorful flags to show respect, these fleets are more direct, and they can feel the deterrence from a few miles away.

"It's supposed to be an ocean-going fleet going to Japan, don't be afraid, they don't load shells, they just greet us with the usual way at sea. Little leopard, don't return the salute, it's not good to scare the child. ”

Hong Tao's ship also has artillery on it, and although Old Man Wen doesn't know what the artillery deck on the second floor below is for, he still sets up six naval guns with gun carriages on the deck according to the appearance of an armed cargo ship. Considering that Wang Hui is too young, she has been covered with an oilcloth and has not been used.

"With so far away, how do they know who's on board?" Old man Su raised his hands and feet in approval of Hong Tao's arrangement, the child is afraid or not, anyway, he has heard the sound of field artillery, it is too noisy, and it is not in line with his character.

"Well, that's not what it says." Hong Tao pointed to the flag on the mast.

"Jin Qing has never been to Fujian Road, how can they recognize it?" Of course, Su Shi knew that there was the banner of King Liang on the mast, and he didn't ask the other party how he saw it, but he felt that his friend had never been to Fujian, let alone ruled here, so why should the locals be so respectful.

It would be forgivable if the maritime merchants in Shuzhou and Hangzhou were polite, after all, it was not too far from Yangzi Town, but the maritime merchants on Fujian Road were also so polite, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Well...... "If Su Shi was the only one present, Hong Tao would have to blow his majesty on the sea with his chest and belly, but Wang Xiaoya was standing next to him, and his daughter was the most unwilling to listen to this, so she simply didn't blow it herself, and took the opportunity to glance at the crown with a deep groan.

"Adults are a hundred times more majestic on the sea than on land, from Haihe Port to Qiongzhou Island, as long as they run the sea route, all of them must read the grace of adults. Don't hide it from the Su officials, there are statues of adults in several ports in Nanyang, all of which were erected by the maritime merchants themselves. Every time you go to sea and dock, you have to burn incense and worship, and you want to keep you safe. It is said that there are temples for adults in Japan, and if I go to Japan one day, I will definitely pay my respects, hehehe......"

Although the crown has not appeared for many years, the tacit understanding cultivated back then is still there, and when he saw Hong Tao's eyes, he immediately took over the task of boasting, which is called a skyscraper.

"Without Daddy, won't they go to sea and run the boat?" Su Shi listened with a solemn and thoughtful face, and Wang Xiaoya also had a tacit understanding, seeing that the teacher was silent, she simply refuted it.

"The eldest princess didn't know that if it weren't for the adults' sea boats and navigation, they would go to Japan at most once a year, how could they go whenever they wanted. Going to the South Seas is even more life-threatening, not only there are strong winds and waves, but also countless pirates and the threat of the Pujia fleet, and the slightest mistake will cause the ship to be destroyed and killed. Once......"

Wang Guan didn't know Wang Xiaoya's thoughts, but the child didn't understand the risks of navigation, and he was too professional for fear that she wouldn't understand, so he simply picked two of the experiences of going to the South Seas and talked about them, the purpose was to explain the important functions of sea ships and navigation.

"Brother Su don't worry, the imperial court is building shipyards in Dengzhou, Wenzhou, and Quanzhou, and instead of building merchant ships, warships are built stronger than maritime ships and have several times more artillery. A few years later, the new army of the Great Song Dynasty was not only invincible on land, but also had no opponent on the sea. Near can eliminate internal troubles, far away can destroy the enemy's country. ”

Hong Tao didn't listen carefully to the glorious experience of the crown, to put it mildly, it was just to beat pirates and local natives, that thing was just a little girl, and even Old Man Su couldn't cover it. Su Shi was looking at the sea in a daze with a sad face at this time, why was he worried? Hong Tao felt that he was himself again.

During these more than ten days of sailing, he fully felt his ability, or power, on the sea. He had never thought of this kind of right before, and he always felt a kind of uneasiness when he suddenly saw it.

Just imagine, if you really have any ideas, you don't need to encourage the new army to do anything, you just need to go around the sea, and I am afraid that there will be more than tens of thousands of new troops around you. That's right, it's the New Army, or the heavily armed New Army. The sailors on this large sea ship had guns, muskets similar to those of the soldiers of the New Army, and more artillery.

As for the difference between field artillery and naval artillery, Old Man Su didn't have this awareness at all, thinking that they were all weapons of great destruction. With so many people, so many guns, and so many cannons in his hands, it really doesn't make a big difference whether the position of regent is or not, and he has the ability to fight against the court anytime and anywhere.

"There's more to it than this ship!" Hong Tao's explanation not only did not reassure Old Man Su, but made him even more frightened. In his opinion, this big ship is already the limit of human shipbuilding technology, and the hull is more than two feet thick and equipped with dozens of cannons, and it can still sail steadily on the water, almost invincible, how powerful is it?

"Brother Su is not familiar with naval warfare, so it is normal to have this idea. It was true that the ship was used for naval warfare, but it was too expensive to build too much. In addition to the quality on the sea, quantity is also very important, the drawings presented by the younger brother to the imperial court are a kind of warships that are stronger than civilian ships and smaller than this ship, three are enough to deal with one, and the cost is less than one, as long as it takes time to build more than ten or twenty ships, it can become a climate. ”

This matter must also be explained clearly to Su Shi, otherwise he always thinks that he is pretending to resign, secretly developing forces at sea, and continues to peep at the right and refuses to let go. Don't look at him as having no official position, but he can represent the views of a large number of people, and convincing him is equivalent to convincing a group of people who have a lot of power to speak.

"That's good, that's good...... As far as my brother knows, Jin Qing is afraid that he has never grown up on the beach since he was a child, why is he so familiar with naval warfare? "Old man Su is really not a foolish master, he understands the reasoning and is basically relieved, but the logic doesn't make sense.

It is understandable to say that the horse is better than land warfare, after all, there is the art of war that can be studied, and some methods can be learned from it to create a new army. But there is no art of war in naval warfare, and those who are familiar with it are all sailor generals who grew up on the waterside and the seaside. The colt has no such experience at all, and suddenly he can build ships and naval battles, can it really be said that people can really be born to know?
