Chapter 19: My Daughter's Name Is Whale (80 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
According to the length of the Hypo, no side ship can be equipped with at least twenty of these large slingshots, and the bow and stern are also equipped with whaling crossbows. If this is a salvo, twenty smoking iron balls will be thrown around, and a single shot will withstand the power of at least ten crossbow arrows, and they will not have to hit directly, as long as they can explode near the opponent's ship, it will cause great damage to the personnel and sails on the deck.
After continuous trials and tests, the production process, size, installation method and supporting facilities of the slingshot were gradually fixed, and at the same time, the second three-masted fast cruiser identical to the Haibo was officially launched. The naming rights of the ship no longer belonged to Hong Tao personally, but was forcibly stripped away by the board of directors, and it was named the Hong Salamander. Because Hong Tao had a daughter at the end of last year, Hong Tao was sailing at sea with the Haibo, so the most knowledgeable person in the camp was also the child's grandfather
Chen Mingen gave the name of a salamander. Salamanders, female whales too! The reason why the Tan family of Jinhewan can live such a carefree life is all thanks to a marine animal, that is, whales. Although the Tan family hunts whales, they respect and love whales, so according to the custom that they can call them whatever they like, Hong Tao's daughter is called whale.
This matter cannot be changed even after Hong Tao comes back, because Hong Salamander's grandfather, the old man Bo Fu, has already made a full moon wine for the child, and also created a pure gold longevity lock for the child, and everyone recognized the Hong salamander. Naming the second sailboat after Hong Tao's daughter is also a kind of respect for Hong Tao, which can be regarded as a thank you for taking the Tan family in Jinhewan to work together to get rich, in a sense. It's everyone's decision.
The salamander is the salamander. Hong Tao has no preference for what the child's name is. He is more concerned about the post-production Bozhu. The reason why he ran away when Bo Zhu was waiting to give birth was also an escape, he was afraid that he would see Bo Zhu because of the danger of giving birth to a child, but he couldn't help a little, so he found a reasonable excuse to dodge, which is also a flaw in Hong Tao's character. He didn't have the courage to know that there were tigers in the mountains and were biased towards the tigers, and he didn't want to watch what he had to lose, if possible. He will evade many things, including many responsibilities. He doesn't care what others think, he only cares if he feels comfortable in his heart.
Originally, Bo Zhu was worried that he gave birth to a daughter to Hong Tao, who was a money-loser, and Hong Tao would be unhappy when he came back. As a result, Hong Tao did not react at all, and took the initiative to take care of most of the child's work, such as changing diapers, coaxing the child to sleep, holding her and shaking when the child cried, only feeding him could not replace it. I have to trouble Bozhu.
In fact, Hong Tao doesn't like girls, he doesn't have any special preferences for boys and children. He's forgiving himself. Only by doing this, allowing Bo Zhu to rest and recuperate, did he feel that when he needed him the most in Bo Zhu, his behavior of running away was not so shameful. In fact, he also lied to himself, in this era, women are not allowed to be accompanied by men when they have children, and can only be accompanied by women such as women's sisters-in-law and mothers. Many superstitions of the Tan family cannot be completely eradicated, and it is taboo for men to see women give birth to children, and the Tan family is convinced that it will bring bad luck to the men of the sea.
"Son, a man shouldn't carry a child all day long, that's a woman's job, you can't get used to Azhu too much, it will make her forget her duty as a woman. If you don't say it, Weng Weng will help you make the decision, and I'll go and talk to Ah Zhu. Old man Rong saw that Hong Tao was running around with a big backpack made of whale skin strips all day long, and he was a little unable to look at it, and thought that he was afraid of his daughter-in-law, so he made a kind persuasion.
"Oh, dear Weng, don't! It's not that Azhu is lazy, and she's not lazy, this is what I asked for myself. That's how my father took me when I was a child, and in my hometown, my parents had to take turns taking care of their children. I'm strong, and carrying a child is like wearing an extra piece of clothing, no. Ah Zhu is busier than me, and I don't have anything serious to do except move my mouth all day. By the way, Weng Weng, those Tan pirates you mentioned are still crowded on Ximao Continent, and there are not many places where they can be used every day, so why don't you bring them a message and come to us. Now we have the Salamander, and in the summer we can have two large ships at once, and there are not enough sailors. But you have to give me a word, can they listen to me when they come, I don't recognize my six relatives when I train, and if they are not convinced, I can't guarantee that I won't kill a few. It's not good if you really want to make a fuss like that, it's all our own people, even if we can't be together, it's best not to tear your face, what do you say? Hong Tao felt that Bo Zhu married him, it was really eight lifetimes of blood mold, not only could he not enjoy the complete relationship, but he also had to help himself bear the name, many things that should be his fault, these people will be transferred to her, the explanation is useless, the more he explains, the more serious it is.
"Don't worry, you are the territorial waters of the entire Yazhou, and you can also kill sharks and catch big whales. Don't think that people who have been pirates are bad people, you buzzed me when I was younger...... Hey, hey, hey, that's not hungry. Let them come, whoever dares to disobey, you will be beaten to death, and I will be responsible for beating me to death! Who dares to make trouble, we have clan rules, and we can still go to the sky? Even if I go to the official mansion of the Turen, I sink a few Tan family members, and they can't say anything. "Old man Rong is really a living treasure, and he was not a fuel-efficient lamp when he was young. Let him say this, Hong Tao is somewhat relieved, these pirates of the Tan family should not be as vicious and inhuman as they are in the movie, otherwise Old Man Rong will not give them packing tickets. This is easy to do, just let Bo Jiao and Carl drive the boat to pick up people, there are too many people on Ximaozhou, and the logistical pressure on Bo Fu and Bo Xiaoer is too great, just to reduce the burden on them.
In fact, the Tanka pirates are no different from ordinary Tanka families, they are also a row of boats, a small wooden boat with pointed heads, and their clothes are patched and patched, and families with many children have no pants to wear. They were so hungry that they gathered together to go to sea to grab the ship, and for fear that others would recognize them, they had to kill all the people on board, and they had to burn the ship on fire. The money and goods stolen are enough for them to live for a short period of time, as long as there is rice at home and enough fish in the sea, no one wants to carry their heads to rob and kill. Being a pirate is not a good errand, not to mention that it will be caught by the Maritime Patrol Battalion of the City Shipping Division, even those ships of the maritime merchants are not vegetarians, and if you can succeed in grabbing ten times, even if you burn high incense, you will have to lose a few lives on your side.
However, there is still a difference between people who have been pirates and their families, and Hong Tao can see it at a glance. It's their eyes! These people's eyes are no longer afraid to look at others, and their eyes are full of excited anticipation, and they rarely see fear. However, they still have great respect for Hong Tao and the old people in the camp, and they still have a smile on their faces for their fellow clansmen.
This time, there were more people who followed Bo Jiao and Carl, so Bo Jiao said that if he hadn't stopped him desperately, there would have been more than a dozen families who had to follow him in a row of boats, as for whether the boat would be damaged by the waves, and whether the whole family would drown in the sea, they didn't think about it at all. From the day they were born, the Tan family was making a bet with God, and if they won the bet, they would eat a few full meals, and if they lost, they would die, and life and death were very indifferent to them. Otherwise, these people would not have dragged their families to drive their own small wooden boats and row boats, and follow Bojiao and Carl to a place they have never heard of to beg for a living. And the thing that lured them to risk their lives was very simple, it was three words to eat enough, or to add a piece of their own land.
With enough manpower, after Hong Tao discussed with the board of directors, the official establishment of Jinhewan's own military organization is not called the navy, nor the fleet, but the security branch. As soon as I heard this name, it came from Hong Tao's mouth, since it was a game, Hong Tao planned to play his own characteristics, what navy, fleet, too vulgar. Since Jinhewan is called the Marine Management Company, the subordinate institutions can naturally only be branches, and I have never heard of them being called Navy Branches. Moreover, the military thing sounds too political, too sensitive, and conflicts with Hong Tao's future development model. The company security guard is much more pleasant to hear, the company security on land is holding a stick, and the company security on the ocean is of course going to sail the boat. Used to protect the company's ships and personnel from others, security! Guaranteed to be safe, what a good explanation, the board unanimously agreed that it was a good name.
Of course, Hong Tao is the manager of the security company, and he has too many part-time jobs in his head, except for the director of the Women's Federation, he is not concurrent, and he has to take care of everything else. This is also something that can't be helped, no one is available in his hands, and no one in the board of directors can use it, those old people can only help him keep an eye on people, but he has no management talent and ability. The whole Jinhewan played him alone, and even when each family had a child, they had to find him to give him a name, and when he was not there, he would go to Chen Mingen. As for the teacher Wen Nanwen, the people in the camp didn't recognize it, and it was difficult for the Tan family to get too close to a native in a short period of time, and it could only be said for historical reasons.
It's not enough to have a manager, there must be generals and soldiers below, otherwise you won't be a bare-bones commander. So Bo Jiao and Carl both became the official deputy managers of the security company, and Hong Tao planned to have as many deputy managers as there were warships in the future, in fact, they were the captains, and the captains below were still the original naval establishment. Bo Jiao officially took over the Haibo, Carl took over as the captain of the Hong Salamander, and Hong Tao was promoted to the commander of the fleet, no longer directly commanding the ship.
The Predator and the Whaler have been taken over by Chen Qihong and Bo Xiaosan, and their daily work is to hunt whales, transport, and regularly pass messages between Jinhe Bay, Ximaozhou and Guangzhou, and they also have to go to the two supply points in Brunei and Malacca every month or two to see. The Explorer was assigned to the school as a training ship for the children to train for offshore navigation, and was not part of the security company's establishment. (To be continued.) )
