Chapter 897: Tianjin (II)
The wind in the bay is not prosperous, and the big ships go down the ocean current, flat and fast, and can travel more than 600 miles in one day.
It was the first time that the third lady saw the sea, and Shen Mo was worried that she would be scared or seasick, but who knew that she was extremely close to the sea, because she felt that the boundless ocean was like the vast sky and wild grassland in her hometown. The non-stop bumpy deck is as comfortable as a horse's back.
I like this comfortable and gorgeous ship very much, standing on the platform on the top of the ship and looking into the distance, looking at the blue sea, breathing in the salty fresh sea breeze, and the depression accumulated in the capital is swept away, and the xiōng placket becomes wide again: "Although it is a little disrespectful to my deceased father-in-law, I really feel that I am in a very happy mood!" ”
It doesn't matter," Shen Mo stood beside her, looking at the blue sky and cloudless, and he also felt his heart wide, and smiled dotingly: "Daddy is the best for others, and he will only be happy to see you happy." ”
In this vast ocean, it's like a world with only the two of us...... "Sanniangzi Jiāo said: "Why don't we buy it, and then drive it around the world, and go to the Europe, Australia, and Antarctica you said." If you like it, stay there and never go back to that dirty world. ”
Of course you can," Shen Mo smiled, "But escaping isn't the xìng grid of the third lady, right?" The world is not afraid of being dirty, we can make it clean, we can make people feel hopeless, we will make people see hope. ”
Is this also a gentleman's responsibility? The third lady turned her head to look at Shen Mo, the sea breeze blew his beard, but it couldn't blow the tenacity on his face. It's hard to imagine that such a man who is always very gentle always has the whole world in his heart.
Yes. Shen Mo nodded.
I think you look like an ancient mythological figure. The third lady whispered.
Who? Shen Mo smiled.
Praise the father, Xingtian, Jingwei. The third lady looked at him softly and said, "You are as stupid as them, but you are respectably stupid." ”
Is it stupid? Maybe. Shen Mo's eyes became detached, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, I know that once I pass away, everything I have done will probably be passed away with the wind." I don't hope that I can escape from the trap of 'people dying and dying', I hope that the only long-term is for the descendants of Yan Huang to find their lost hearts......"
Could it be that the current Ming people have lost their hearts? The third lady was puzzled and asked, "The heart is a part of the body, how can it be lost?" ”
Do you feel the hearts of the *** people now," Shen Mo asked rhetorically: "Is it the same as when Genghis Khan was born?" ”
Of course not. The third lady said: "Genghis Khan's people have the ambition to sweep the world, and the ambition and hope of the whole world are not satisfied. She sighed and said: "Today's *** people, but they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and pursue comfort, except for their appearance, they are completely different from their ancestors." Saying that, Heng looked silent and said, "Speaking of which, this also has your share of credit!" ”
Hehe......" Shen Mo smiled and said, "Now you understand, right?" The clan arose on the banks of the river of tribulation, less than a hundred years, it has lost its heart, and my Chinese descendants have a history of more than 2,000 years from the collapse of etiquette to the present, during which méng has suffered too many disasters. Among them, the largest ones, Qin Shi Huang's book burning pit Confucianism, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's deposition of the Hundred Schools, the Five Hu Chaohua during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the destruction of the country by your holy ancestors...... Both culturally and civilly, they have been hit by destruction. In this destruction, we lost our hearts little by little. ”
Aren't the Han people the most proud of their inheritance of civilization? The third lady asked: "You have a subset of scriptures and histories, so that you can't forget everything about your ancestors." ”
On paper, it can only inherit etiquette, but it cannot inherit the hearts of the ancestors. Shen Mo said: "Etiquette is very important, it is the bond that the Chinese nation has inherited for thousands of years. But without the hearts of the ancestors, etiquette will become a bondage, making the state strong and lifeless. ”
So what does the heart of the ancestors look like in your heart? The third lady asked.
The heart of the ancestors is self-love, self-esteem, self-improvement and self-confidence! After thinking about it silently, he said slowly: "With a heart of self-love, you can not give in to the beast and flatter, nor do the things of the beast; With self-esteem, you can not give in when you are subjected to others, and do not be anyone's slave; With the heart of self-improvement, we can not be frustrated when we are attacked by calamities, and we can correct injustices without fear; With self-confidence, everyone can awaken themselves and be their own masters! ”
It sounds really fascinating......" The third lady's description of silence had a strong yearning, but she was not sure: "Can it really be realized?" ”
Just as destruction takes years, recovery takes time, gradually, and is not something I can do alone. Shen Mo said firmly: "This kind of awakening of the whole people, our generation will definitely not see it." A generation has a generational responsibility, and I have made it clear that my mission is to break the shackles that imprison people's hearts! ”
didn't say anything further, but the third lady knew that it was the high imperial power!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At noon on the second day, the ship arrived at the Bohai Strait, which is located between the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. This strait is the throat of the connection between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and there are Miaodao Islands in the longitudinal distribution, dividing the strait into more than a dozen waterways, the northern waterway is wide and deep, and the southern waterway is narrow and shallow. The ships heading south to the Yellow Sea, the Changshan Waterway and the Dengzhou Waterway, which are often taken, are all very narrow and shallow. Among them, the Dengzhou waterway is the closest and narrowest, and there are shoals on the north and south sides. When passing, the boat must slow down and the distance between the front and back will naturally be pulled.
Mo and San Niangzi were preparing for lunch, and found that the soup in the cup and plate no longer shook slightly, which indicated that the speed of the boat had slowed down a lot.
Liu Dadao, the chief of the guard, walked in quickly and whispered in Shen Mo's ear: "A green flag is hoisted on the ship in front. ”
It seems that the time has come. Shen Mo cut off a bloody steak with a knife, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully: "It is estimated that the two boats are already in full swing, let's not be idle, send a signal." ”
Be! Liu Dadao quickly walked outside the cabin and ordered loudly: "Open the cannon!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the ring, when Liu Dadao reported to Shen Mo, Zhang Whale had successfully seized control of the vanguard ship...... Because of the need to transport troops, the sailors and gunners on the ship, combined, there are only more than 100 people, and there are more than 500 forbidden troops under Zhang Whale.
The captain of the ship pushed and shoved and brought it to Zhang Whale.
Your name is Zhou Yougen? A military uniform couldn't hide the strong eunuch aura on Zhang Whale's body, and he yīn yang strange aura.
I am. The big captain nodded, and said with a look of trepidation: "What do you want us to do, my father-in-law ordered, don't you have to hold a knife, right?" ”
You are a native of Dengzhou, Shandong, a hereditary military household, and you were originally a guard soldier on land. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, he was requisitioned and transferred south to fight against the Japanese, and later formed the Southeast Water Division. Zhang Whale ignored him, and said to himself: "There is an old lady alive in Dengzhou's hometown, as well as your Hun family and two sons and two daughters...... Only then did he look at Zhou Yougen and said: "Our family said so much, you won't think it's nonsense." ”
No, no, I must listen to my father-in-law. Zhou Yougen cringed and said: "Otherwise, the lives of the family members will not be guaranteed." ”
Seems to be an understanding person. Zhang Whale nodded approvingly and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll let you do one thing......" He said and pointed to the silent ship that followed closely behind him: "Sink it." ”
Ah......" Zhou Yougen's mouth is big.
This is the emperor's order, you just have to do it. Zhang Whale couldn't stand his bad breath, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose and said, "If the ship doesn't sink today, you will die." But don't worry, in just three days at most, your family will be able to reunite in the underworld......"
Before the sound fell, a cannon was heard! Zhang Whale was frightened, and couldn't help but say, "Is it Zhu Yingzhen's side that fired the cannon?" ”
No, it's the big boat! The men quickly figured out.
Looks like they've sensed something! Zhang Whale suddenly pulled out his waist knife, poked it in Zhou Yougen's mouth, and said sharply: "Shoot me immediately, or I will kill you!" ”
Don't worry, father-in-law, the villain will command. Zhou Yougen looked down at the torn military uniform, and said with a small expression: "You wait to see a good show." ”
Go for it......" Zhang Whale lowered the tip of his knife and ordered the two people behind him: "Keep an eye on him, if you make a slight move, kill!" ”
Be! The two escorted Zhou Yonggen down to command the dispatch.
Naganagne was not ambiguous, and soon ordered the battleship to turn the rudder and sail, facing the silent ship with the side of the ship.
The huge ship stood still.
In the blasting room, the gunners punctured the gunpowder paper packets from the fire door after nervously filling the gunpowder paper packets and shells, inserting the fuses, and then pushing back the gun holes. There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can be used as the axis to push out, adjust the firing angle, and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder; Moreover, the cannon is also equipped with a front sight and a light door, and the gun commander trained by the Jiangnan Naval Academy can calculate the trajectory according to the parabola, and the shooting accuracy is very high.
Aim! "Aim!" "Aim!" The gun commanders raised their hands one after another.
......' Zhou Yonggen blew a sharp whistle.
Someone wore earplugs in case they were deafened by a salvo of twenty-four cannons. The gunners lit the fuses with their fire folds, and the fuses emitted white smoke, which soon burned through the fire door into the chamber of the gun, and then ...... The whole world was silent.
Fourteen cannons didn't go off......
How? Zhou Yougen angrily ripped off the earbuds and said loudly: "Check the medicine bag immediately!" "In this era, the principle of gun firing was the same, they all ignited the propellant in the chamber, and the iron lump was knocked out by the impact force.
If the cannon cannon, there must be something wrong with the lead and gunpowder bag. The lead is burning normally, so it can only be a medicine bag!
Someone on board cut open a packet of medicine with a knife and poured a little on the deck, but the fire was extinguished, but the powder was not ignited.
There is a problem with this batch of kits! A panicked voice rang out.
Panic what! Zhou Yougen shouted angrily: "Go get the supplies immediately!" ”
The eight sailors hurriedly went out, and after a while, they came up with two well-sealed wooden boxes, and after Zhou Yougen personally pried them open with a dagger, there were neatly stacked propellant packets inside.
Yougen reached out and picked up a packet, poked it open, and couldn't point it. His Khan came down at that time and said to the person who was guarding him: "Report it to my father-in-law, these medicine bags are fake and shoddy, and we can't fight them." ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whale waited on the top floor for a long time, but did not hear the cannon, and then heard the news that the cannon could not be fired. A heart sinks down, and there is no movement on Zhu Yingzhen's side until now, he knows that someone must have moved his hands and feet.
Lean in now! At this time, there was no time to think about it, and he said loudly: "Prepare for the broadside battle!" Although Zhu Yingzhen can't be contacted, I believe he will make the same decision.
If you have an order, let the helmsman steer the battleship to turn the rudder...... When a warship shoots, it uses its side to face the enemy, but if you want to fight with a white knuckle, you have to use the bow of the ship to face the enemy before you can sail over.
The ship slowly turned its head in an arc, and the deck was a little tilted. Even the forbidden army knew that this was a sharp turn, so they didn't take it seriously. However, the inclination of the deck became more and more wide, so that it was necessary to hold on to the railing on the wall of the bay in order to stand firm and not slip.
What's going on?! Zhang Whale had completely lost his composure, stumbled to the command cabin, and screamed at Zhou Yougen. His unique eunuch voice was especially evident in the shouting.
It seems to have hit the rocks," Zhou Yougen frowned and said, "You must throw the cannon into the water immediately to stop the ship from sinking!" ”
How dare you fool me? As soon as he heard that the ship was going to sink, Zhang Whale was furious and roared: "You are playing me, right?" ”
When is it, my father-in-law is still saying this! Zhou Yougen also yelled: "Hurry up and let your people help with the damage management, otherwise you will wait to feed Wang Ba!" ”
The sentence scolded Zhang Whale lost his temper, and the weak opponent said: "Listen to him, it is important to keep the ship......"
Yougen was not polite, and directly gave orders to the forbidden army, ordering them all to roll to the watertight compartment to strictly check and defend it.
Zhou Yougen pushed open the window and asked Zhang Whale, who was leaning against the bulkhead: "Grandpa Zhang, do you know how to swim?" ”
I'm a landlubber...... "Although Zhang Whale has a fish in its name, it can't swim.
Then you are miserable, because the ship is about to sink......" Zhou Yougen smiled and said: "But fortunately, my water is very good." ”
The whale was completely frightened by the shipwreck, hugged him, and screamed: "Master Jun, help......"!
