"Commander, you are an old man in the sailor, I heard that you also participated in the Three Kingdoms Naval War that year, is the sailor of the Jinhe Empire really so powerful?" Liu Juntou was about forty years old, and the sailors who were on the same ship with him were only in their early twenties. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the Great Song Dynasty, the Jinhe Empire and the Mongol Empire were engaged in naval battles, they were still children running by the river, and they had never heard of it.

"Isn't it just amazing...... I still remember that the huge ship that Emperor Hong rode on back then was as high as a hill, and its planks were as thick as the walls of Mingzhou. I heard that they are all made of iron plough wood from the South Seas, and no matter how big the cannonballs are, they can't hit it, so they all bounce off. Dozens of Mongolian warships surrounded one of his ships, but they were all sunk by him, do you say it's powerful? "It's everyone's nature to brag, and this Liu Juntou is likely to have caught up with the Three Kingdoms Naval War according to his age, but the details he said are too unreliable. The planks of the ship were as thick as the city walls, and they were still made of iron plough wood, so they would not be submarines, and they would sink directly to the bottom.

"It's not his ship that's even more powerful, it's his people! This emperor is not a mortal, I heard that he is the illegitimate son of the Dragon King of the South China Sea and the princess of the small country of the South Seas, as long as he is at sea, he can come to whatever wind he wants, and he can see as far as he wants, no matter day or night, there are shrimp soldiers and crabs will protect him at the bottom of his boat, even if you beat his boat into a sieve, you can still be safe and sound. You are too young to know what happened back then. To say that this is more than ten years ago, when the imperial court organized a merchant fleet, to go to the port of Kalamba and the then strait company to grab the trade route, as a result of just out of the west entrance of the Strait of Malacca, was blown away by a demonic wind, two or three days, no one knows where it was blown to, what is more terrible is that there is no wind on the sea, there is no wave in the sea, dozens of big ships in the entire fleet, thousands of people have no way to go to the sky and no door, thirsty and starved to death! At this time, an auspicious cloud suddenly appeared in the distance, and a large ship sailed over, it didn't need to be pushed by the wind at all, and the sea automatically gave way to him, so he barely rescued six ships. This big boat is that Emperor Hong's, he told the people on the boat who picked up a life at that time, this sea area is okay, but you have to say hello to him in advance, otherwise the things in the sea will not recognize people, and all ships that do not fly his flag will not be able to get out! Do you say it's evil? ”

The more Liu Juntou talked, the more addicted he became, and he had heard a lot of things, even knowing about Hong Tao's rescue of people and boats in the windless belt more than ten years ago, but the words that came out of his mouth were far from the facts, and they became myths and stories. It is estimated that this is not made up by him, but a folk rumor, and it will be out of shape as it is passed on. But the young sailors had no discernment, and one by one they looked straight back into the sea, for fear that they would also come up with something to pull them down.

"Commander, you're bragging again, where is there such a big ship? It's not like we haven't seen the warships of Jinhe Country, don't they come a few times a year, I don't think it's as big as our warships. Moreover, that Emperor Hong has long ceased to be the emperor and left the throne to his son. I used to serve with officers from the Royal Navy in the navy, and I heard them say that Emperor Hong had already gone to sea in a ship, and he had not seen anyone for many years, and perhaps his ship had sunk and died. "The sailors of the Great Song Dynasty are not all confused, and the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jinhe Empire have also had a lot of exchanges over the years, and the sailors have also heard of it, and they have spoken out at the moment to expose Liu Juntou's cowhide.

"You know the! Do you think the Emperor's ship will just go out casually? The Mongols were the same as you thought back then, but what was the result? Of the more than 600 warships, less than 20% were left when they arrived here from Dengzhou, and the rest were all sunk on the road by Emperor Hong with more than a dozen warships. Our sailors defeated the Mongolian sailors, but in fact, they fought the remaining remnants of the defeated generals, and many of them didn't even have the heart to escape. How do you think those hundreds of Mongol warships sank, did they also meet the tide god on the sea? That's called Poseidon understands! The ship sank and died, if those who were rescued by Emperor Hong heard it, you kid wouldn't want to mix in the sailors. Do you know how many boats in the sailor have Emperor Hong's golden rat flag, and going to sea without worshipping Emperor Hong is equivalent to not hanging sails. You roll the mast up for me, don't listen if you don't like to listen, what nonsense! ”

When you brag about it, you annoy serious people to take it seriously, the ancients didn't pass the clouds, and Xu Bull was not allowed to raise the bar! Piercing other people's cowhide is regarded as killing parents, which is very hateful. Especially if the braggart is your immediate boss, don't talk casually. No, the present world has come to the news, and the sailor who thought he was clever was immediately sent to the mast as a lookout, and after this lap, the sea breeze could drink half full.

"Yes, yes, military chief, don't be angry with him, you see, I have wine for you here, I just got it from Mingzhou Port the day before yesterday, authentic rum from Jinhe Country. It's a little cold on the sea today, so warm up and tell us about it. "There are two stunned people, and there are people who can be, and immediately a sailor took out a porcelain vase from below deck.

"This is a knowingly offense, you are not allowed to drink alcohol when you are on duty, aren't you afraid that Zhao Du will whip his head!" Liu Juntou took the porcelain vase and took a look at it by the light on the mast, it was not bad, it was a Nanyang goods sold from Guangzhou. Of course, there is no good wine, these are smuggled wines obtained by maritime merchants from some small countries in the South Seas, and the quality is not as good as the genuine wine in glass bottles of the Jinhe Empire. However, in the Great Song Dynasty, where alcohol control is very strict, it is not easy to drink this kind of imported foreign wine. As for how they appeared in Mingzhou Port and have not yet been seized by the imperial court, then you have to ask the officials in the imperial court. If it weren't for the fact that someone in their family poured these wines, ordinary people who dared to do this kind of business would not be able to do it.

"Isn't there still a military leader, Zhao Dutou can't control our brother, you are our superior." This sailor is very good at talking.

"Well, I can't be as ignorant as he is, and since the brothers look up to me, I can't have it to myself. Go, get the bowl, let's all warm up together. Liu Juntou was very useful by the sailor's words, and he didn't pretend to be at the moment, it was extremely cold tonight, and the breeze blew to the bones of his body, so he should take two sips.

"Damn, you just drink it, you get drunk and fall into the sea and feed the tide god!" Seeing that his companions were drinking and chatting on the deck, but he was standing on the top of the mast drinking the wind, the sailor who was designated by Liu Juntou as a lookout was very dissatisfied, but he did not dare to leave his post without permission, so he could only scold in a low voice.

The tide of the Qiantang River is formed every month, at the beginning of the month and once in the middle of the month, which is formed by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun, and the tides of other seashores. It is only because of the special topography of Hangzhou Bay, which magnifies the performance of the tide, that the unique seawater inflow phenomenon of the Qiantang River will occur. However, the tides are usually relatively small, and it is only in the morning of August 18 that the tides are at their highest. Because on this day, the earth, the moon, and the sun almost formed a straight line, and the earth experienced the strongest gravitational pull.

Tides, are two words. Tide refers to the rise and fall of the sea during the day, and tide refers to night. On August 18, the time of the arrival of the tide was ugly, that is, at one o'clock in the morning. At eight o'clock in the morning, it is the high tide and the best time to watch the tide.

Hong Tao's expeditionary fleet left Tanegashima on 14 August, avoiding known commercial routes, and headed north, first to the western waters of Jeju Island, and then to the west to replenish Hangzhou Bay. At about nine o'clock in the evening of the 17th, he crossed the Lisi Islands on time and entered Hangzhou Bay.

"Come on, Captain Wu, now that the command of the fleet is handed over to you, whether we can get to Lin'an City or not depends on your skills." When he arrived at Hangzhou Bay, Hong Tao immediately handed over the pilotage to Wu Yong. He is a god on the sea, but when he reaches the inland river, he is a blind god. Although he had entered the Qiantang River, he really didn't dare to lead the way when this kind of black light was blind, so he rushed to the shore with the fleet, don't wait for the Great Song Dynasty Sailor to fight, they all have to run aground, and no one can escape.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the villain will never make a mistake with his life...... Why don't I change ships to lead the way in front, and Your Majesty will send a forward fleet to follow me first? Wu Yong is very sure of completing the task, his family has lived by the river for several generations, and has never heard of the diversion of the Qiantang River or anything. But for the sake of insurance, he still advised Hong Tao not to use the flagship to lead the way.

"Well, you can lead the way with peace of mind, let's make a hammer deal, if I shrink back, who will dare to rush forward." Tell the other captains that they are not allowed to leave the team without permission as long as the flagship is still there, according to the order of training, all the way to the column, no matter what happens. Hang the red light and set sail! "This time, Hong Tao did not follow the good stream, he is now not afraid of death, or he has lived enough.

The lone army that traveled thousands of miles to go deep into the Great Song Dynasty to carry out the beheading operation was a ridiculous adventure in itself, and it would be meaningless if you were still afraid of death at this time. Even if he dies, Hong Tao plans to be really. If he really succeeds, when he is old, he can also hold his grandson and say to him: How about your grandfather and I were the first to rush in? Your grandfather, I'm so good!

As a string of red lanterns hung on the flagship's mast, the warships of the expeditionary fleet also hung red lights one after another, and the lookout stared at the red lights on the masts of the ships in front of them, providing distance parameters to the helmsman and sailman, and then one followed one to the entrance of the Qiantang River. And the gunners on the deck also lifted their gun jackets and began to do the final inspection of the ship's guns. There was also a lot of chaos below deck, and the Marines began to check their equipment, and the captain of each team began to ask questions from person to person with a plan, and if there were still people who did not know their mission by this time, they would have to be disarmed and confined.
