What, you say that even if there is no threat from large groups of Chinese pirates and the Korean navy, there is still a possibility of being threatened by the Japanese navy and Japanese pirates?

Hehe!

Sorry, it's 1626.

In the 12th year of Motowa (1626), Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa family, took office and perfected the policy of seclusion. Except for Nagasaki (the man-made island in front of Nagasaki) and Kai as a port for the outside world, foreigners are prohibited from coming to Japan except for the Dutch and Chinese!

At this time, the Japanese had already made the Ming Dynasty a few decades ago afraid, and they had an idea of inferiority and fear for the Ming people.

In the twenty-first year of Wanli (1592), the Korean War broke out. In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli (1598), the Ming Dynasty admirals Chen Phosphorus and Deng Zilong led 500 warships to Luliang, Korea, to engage Japan, and sank 450 Japanese warships in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of this battle that the Japanese devils shrank to the Ming Dynasty!

As a result, the two sides, except for small-scale civil fighting, were basically calm between countries.

Japan has even begun to close itself off in advance, and as mentioned above, it has barely had business exchanges with a few countries.

In their hearts, Da Ming is still not a semi-suzerain-master of the kingdom for the time being.

Zhu Zilong's caravan, where is the potential danger?

"The knots are not uniform, they are messy, and they are not qualified. Remember to do as the old sailor told you! ”

"The sundries are not fixed, the buckets of goods are placed everywhere, and when there is wind and waves, they will move and crush people, which is unqualified. Re-swing it now! ”

"There are rats on board, which will bring diseases and are not qualified. Extinguish! ”

"The voyage did not prepare citrus, sprouts, it was stupid, unqualified. There will be sepsis, buy it for me! ”

"The crotch of each trouser is angry, unhygienic, unqualified, wash it and come up again."

“……”

After a series of rounds of all-out inspections, Zhu Zilong scattered the sailors again, mixed with the soldiers, the old man brought the newcomer, and the weapons and various matters were taken care of, and then he was ready to set sail.

Before setting sail, Zhu Zilong also sharpened all the sharp corners of the hull into rounded corners. The whole ship has a rounded feel, but the copper-skinned ramming horn at the bow tells everyone that the ship can also be transformed into a killing weapon in hand-to-hand combat.

(Inside the hull, some important parts are also installed with steel plates, I will talk nonsense?) ）

Under Zhu Zilong's request with reference to modern ships, all the ships on the fleet were clean and neat, and all movable objects were firmly tied with ropes. The cables are coiled around on the deck, and the freshly brushed tung oil makes the whole ship look quaint!

Woo!

When the leader of the cottage Zheng He's treasure ship took all the merchant ships to set off, the special whistle sound made people excited!

At noon, the first lunch on the ship, Zhu Zilong attached great importance to it.

The ship was accompanied by a professional team of Zhujiazhuang's internal chefs, and every crew member, sailor, and soldier lined up to cook as if they were in the village.

A few standard dishes and one soup, and there is a oily chicken leg on top of the rice plate!

Some sailors and soldiers who had just joined Zhu Zilong picked up the chicken legs and smelled them, and slowly began to eat them with happiness on their faces. After eating the meat of the chicken thighs, even the bones were chewed and swallowed, and then I began to eat rice.

Some sailors deliberately kept a little food on their plates and didn't eat it, and Zhu Zilong came over curiously: "Why don't you finish eating?" ”

"Report to the lord, this is the custom of my hometown, symbolizing that there is still surplus food in the coming year." The sailor stood up and replied loudly and nervously.

Zhu Zilong thought to himself, this kind of behavior is not good, and waved his hand and said: "After eating, people at sea, just believe in the Dragon King, the standard food of the Dragon Clan cannot be wasted, otherwise the Dragon King will be angry." Other messy things are not allowed on board, and it is a shame to waste food! ”

The sailors were confused, and they didn't understand when they had heard of the dragon king and this customary saying. But I still obeyed orders!

As a half-dragon man and the only existing true dragon descendant in this world, Zhu Zilong is fully qualified to inherit the throne of the dragon king, so, you know, the standard of the dragon king, he has the final say.

Regarding the rules and regulations on the ship, Zhu Zilong did not only arrange these.

He demanded that the people should not drink raw water, but hot water. No open defecation is allowed, and all actions must be under command! No, it can't be done, there are many people under him now, saying that they are the navy, but it is better to say that they have just put on their military uniforms for food. In addition to the advantage that most of them are water-based!

Soon, the whole fleet took advantage of the wind and went down the river again, and soon raised its speed, faster than the galloping horses. The wind whirred on the sails, the broad sails swayed gently, and the mast and hull creaked softly.

In the air, the ape-eating eagle and Hai Dongqing flew up a few laps from time to time, and then landed on the cottage Zheng Hebao boat and shouted a few words to Zhu Zilong. This kind of communication can only be understood by Zhu Zilong, allowing him to understand the various situations around him very well, even within hundreds of miles!

Does this count as a copycat aircraft carrier, TM's, and a copycat Eagle reconnaissance aircraft was arranged?

A day has passed!

The fleet sailed in the calm Liaohai, and the sailors adjusted the direction of the sails from time to time according to the direction and Zhu Zilong's orders, and they also encountered many ships along the way, but everyone ignored each other. Some people even run away!

This is a very normal phenomenon, because at sea during this period, basically the people who did business were both businessmen and negotiates.

If he bumps into you, and you happen to be weak, maybe he will turn from a serious businessman to a pirate, and rob and kill you.

When these people saw Zhu Zilong's fleet, they didn't frighten and ran away directly, which was good. Do you expect them to greet you in a friendly way?

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that they were indeed merchants of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zilong really almost gave the order to let the cannon fire.

After all, if there were no pirates, how could he practice his idea of using overseas trade to train the navy while making money?

Well, of course, there are no pirates to fight for the time being, and the soldiers are on the ship to see the scenery every day?

Of course, no.

Zhu Zilong waved his hand, nothing to do there, all for Lao Tzu to maintain cannons, guns and ammunition.

So, not long after.

The soldiers on these ships began to play with birds, yes. Instead of jerking off, play with guns and seabirds!

There are many seabirds flying in the sky during this period, and there are countless of them. From time to time, he also landed on the boat, so Zhu Zilong asked the soldiers to practice marksmanship, and second, he could also shoot a few birds to improve the level of food.

The sailors, on the other hand, also had time to fish in the sea, but when they caught fish, half of them belonged to them, and half to the kitchen.

Zhu Zilong deliberately pretended to compare and establish prestige, watching the big guy play with birds, but he didn't hit much.

He also picked up a flintlock pistol, and just as a few seabirds flew in front of him, he walked up in standard motion. Aiming at the crosshairs of the door, aiming at three points and one line, the trigger was pulled with his right hand, the snake rod sank, and the fire flashed in the medicine pot, followed by a loud bang.

Bang!

A thick puff of white smoke erupted from the primer pot and the mouth, and a long orange-red flame shone brightly in the white smoke.

All three seabirds fell on the boat on the spot, and everyone came up to check and found that one had been killed by lead bullets on the spot, one had been injured by loose lead shrapnel, well, and one was probably stunned!

"Okay."

Everyone applauded in unison, from the bottom of their hearts.

In ancient times, there was an arrow and a double X, Zhu Zilong shot three birds, and the end was a peerless record, which was difficult for anyone to imitate.

People who have real skills are respected everywhere.
