Zhang Guoan knew the geography of Jiaozhou Bay, but he didn't know what that place looked like in this time and space. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, that Yao Mai still drew it, and with many inquiries about the written confession, he did find that it was very different from his original impression.

First of all, it seems that the distance between Huangdao and Qingdao on the opposite side is even farther, and the base camp of the Huangdao Navy is only an outlying island, and there is a hill from the island, which can be more than 20 zhang high.

This is all unexpected.

However, Zhang Guoan is happy that the hydrology of this period is really good, and the base camp of the Huangdao Navy is still a natural deep-water port, even in the gate of the water village, it can also run a large ship of 2,000 materials.

Zhang Guoan thought about it, if it weren't for the natural deep-water port, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty would not all be regarded as the base camp of the naval army.

The fences of the water village there are made of waist-thick wooden stakes, although a large ship cannot be rammed open.

So the best thing to do is to cheat the door open.

The second wave of ships will stop at Xiangtou Island for the time being, and only see the yellow smoke and fire rising, and then follow up.

Zhang Guoan arranged himself, Captain Bai Saburo and Yao Mai on the brig clipper, of course, he also had some instructions for them, as for how to deceive the gate, it was all their business.

In the afternoon of this day, they finally arrived with the sea breeze of level four or five, and they could still see the mouth of Jiaozhou Bay in the distance.

It was about one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many white clouds in the sky, and the sun was abundant.

Zhang Guoan immediately ordered the second batch of sea ships to wait for Yao Mai's Xiangshan Island, and then commanded five sea ships to follow up!

The waves in Jiaozhou Bay are really much smaller than outside, and for the waves, they are less than two meters. It's not called a wave at all.

The sea breeze was much lighter, and they drove leisurely in Jiaozhou Bay.

In this time and space, Jiaozhou Bay is not as lively as later generations, only sporadic dhows are rowing, and at a glance, you know that they are fishing boats.

Yao Mai said to Zhang Guoan beside him: "Master Zhang's family, go over." It's very lively, much more than it is now------"

Zhang Guoan said: "Do you mean Song Shi or Jin Shi? ”

Yao Mai bowed his head and said, "I heard that the Great Song Dynasty was the most prosperous, and the Great Jin Dynasty was far more ------ than now."

Zhang Guoan saw the so-called Huangdao shipyard at this time, and the scale was really not small.

He looked through his binoculars, and saw a lot of soldiers with knives in the shipyard inspecting the craftsmen at work!

This can also make a good ship?!

Yao Mai saw that he was observing the shipyard, but did not understand how to look at the object------ he said: "As I said, there are two hundred soldiers there to supervise the work------ anyone who delays or makes a mistake will be severely punished!" ”

They saw that they were approaching the very eye-catching base camp of the Huangdao Naval Army.

At this time, Zhang Guoan put away the binoculars and quietly retreated to the cabin. He began to fiddle with his weapon.

The clipper ship couldn't fit the bed crossbow, so Zhang Guoan arranged himself here, and he used himself and a dozen team members as weapons.

The remaining five sea vessels, they have all installed bed crossbows.

The gate of the water village was now closed, but out of the small gate came a boat rowed by six people.

Captain Bai Saburo saw the dancing pennant in the water village, and he knew that this was the meaning of stopping the ship for inspection in the military order.

He immediately ordered the ship to stop. Wait for the rower to approach.

When the man in the boat had rowed thirty or forty meters from them, the boat stopped rowing.

An officer-like man stood up from the boat. Haha laughed and said, "If you look at it from a distance, you will know that it is you, and if you look closely, you are still fat!" ”

At this time, Yao Mai coughed and stood up from behind Bai Saburo.

The officer saw it. It was the Lord Steward who had not returned for many days.

The man hastened to give a salute.

At this time, the chief manager of Yao Mai waved his sleeves and said, "Why don't you go and open the gate of the village, this official is done, and I have something important to discuss with the commander------

The officer hurriedly went back.

Seeing that he asked people to report to the Great Commander. At the same time, the iron cable was opened, and the boat opened the gate of the wall.

Zhang Guoan prepared two micro-charges, six cartridges, ten grenades, two pistols, and ten magazines.

There were also twenty other members of the team on the clipper, all of whom were dressed in ordinary clothes.

Captain Bao Wei was on the second big boat, and after he saw him enter, he quietly issued various orders, and everyone was also preparing.

The white phosphorus burn/bomb had already been taken out of the refrigerator, put into the bed, and wound with a fixed pulley.

The same is probably true for other ships.

The refrigerator was really a refrigerator, it contained ice cubes and diatomaceous earth, and rice husks, and along the way, it was preserved, and the ice had not yet melted halfway.

Zhang Guoan walked out of the cabin, and he saw a huge water village.

This is worthy of being the base camp of the navy of three eras, and the big ships are actually close together, which is three miles long, and there are as many as two floors.

The sails of these ships have been lowered, and they have all dropped their stone anchors or iron anchors, and they have gently heaved in the waves.

On those ships, you can occasionally see people coming and going, but most of the sailors are probably already on shore.

On the shore is a barracks with adobe roofs.

There was a high pole with their naval flags, hunting and fluttering in the sea breeze.

Zhang Guoan smiled and watched as the flag was flying towards the depths of the barracks, which was conducive to his smoke operation.

Another terrible thing about white phosphorus combustion/bombing is that the yellow smoke emitted after it burns can directly irritate people's eye membranes and tracheal membranes, making people unable to see or even breathe!

They slowly approached the dock as they had arranged beforehand, where some of the soldiers were talking to the returning ship.

Zhang Guoan can see that they have no military discipline at all, and everything is a mess.

Such a naval army can cause the difficulty of the cliff mountain, and the Great Song Dynasty naval army will be rotten.

Zhang Guoan saw that there was not even a bed crossbow on the dock, so they placed a few on the trestle at the entrance.

When someone went to report to the commander of the navy, Boltjin, he was eating mutton shabu and drinking white wine.

When he heard that the ships he had sent out had returned, and that it had been completed, he was of course overjoyed, and immediately ordered the chief steward, Yao Mai, to come and see him.

At this time, the method of eating mutton shabu was very popular, and it is said that its invention was related to Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan led an expedition, but he thought that the food was too poor and wanted to eat stewed mutton, so the cook slaughtered the lamb and selected the mutton to be prepared.

But the enemy army attacked suddenly, and the cook cut the mutton into thin slices in a hurry, put it in a pot and stirred it chaotically, then took it out, put some ingredients, and served it to Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan's stomach growled, and after eating, he put on his clothes and went into battle.

It didn't take long for Kublai Khan to triumph.

After returning to the court, Kublai Khan did not forget the merits of the cook, so he asked him to make it again, and said that the taste was too light and there should be more ingredients.

After eating, the ministers of civil and military affairs all gave a thumbs up. Kublai Khan was delighted and gave the new dish the name "Shabu mutton".

When the Grand Commander Poll was eating and drinking happily, he suddenly heard a firecracker outside!

I thought to myself, don't be in such a hurry to celebrate----- (To be continued.) )
