Chapter 713 I accidentally showed off again [Ask for a monthly pass!] 】
A little later, the battleships of the British also docked in the harbor. During the battle with the Dutch ships, the British ships also suffered some damage, a dozen sailors were killed in the battle, and twenty or thirty sailors were wounded. Overall, however, it is within acceptable limits.
Saviara disembarked from the boat, looking so happy that she almost danced as if she were a lark. She came to Zhang Zhun with vigorous movements, her big blue eyes containing watery gratitude, and said happily: "Brigadier General! Thank you ......."
After that, he pounced again and gave Zhang Zhun a hot kiss.
This time, Zhang Zhun shrewdly dodged over.
You kissed me once, and you want to do it again?
I don't know you very well!
Sai Viala didn't expect that she actually flew into the air, she was slightly stunned, and then reacted, and said with a smile: "Brigadier General, I have no malicious intentions, I just like you too much!" I never thought that among the people of the Ming Kingdom, there would be such a young "handsome, such capable person." You are my idol, you are my dream girl, you are my Prince Charming......"
Zhang Zhun frowned and said: "This is the Ming Kingdom, don't use your set with us." What lovers, what Prince Charming, in our country, there is no market. If you don't want to be burned to death like Bruno, follow the rules of our side......"
Saviara said disappreciatively: "I'm not afraid! I'm not Bruno, I'm not going to be burned! What I pursue is a good man, a great love, and a protected man. Everyone has the right to pursue love! Bruno is an offense to the dignity of the Inquisition......"
Almost instantly, Zhang Zhun made up his mind to confine Saviara and all the British sailors to Phi Island and not allow them to run around. Otherwise, they will definitely corrupt the social atmosphere. Kiss people on the street, so what's the point?
Zhang Shenyan and Qiao Yunsheng are all very conservative old men, if these British pirates do something, their board will most likely hit themselves. What are you doing with these golden retrievers running out?
After making up his mind, Zhang Zhun immediately said: "Saiviala, you take a few people to follow me, and I will show you the camp." The Dutch won't be chasing you here for a while, you have to stay here for a while......"
Sai Viala beckoned behind her and said with a smile: "Brigadier General, I am very happy to follow your arrangement, and I am willing to be your most humble servant. Uncle Sean, Uncle Ferdinand, Uncle Gascoigne, come with me......"
The three old sailors followed her and walked forward with Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun came to the southern part of Phi Island, pointed to a huge open space and said, "You guys will live here." After you get used to it for a while, I'll arrange a new place for you. Your warship, leave it to us for temporary safekeeping, I want to find a hidden harbor and hide it for the time being......"
Seviara looked at the three old sailors behind her, and all three said there was no problem. They had been tossed and turned at sea for months, and they really needed to go ashore to get a good rest.
Zhang Zhun continued: "Do you have any special requirements.........
"There are some wounded and sick people on my ship, they need a doctor.........
Zhang Zhunji nodded and said casually: "They are scurvy, just drink some lemon juice......
Sylviara was a little puzzled and said, "What is scurvy......
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I saw those of you." Soreness and weakness, swollen tooth roots, loose teeth, pain in bone and joint muscles, and blood oozing from the corners of the eyes, under the skin, under the mucous membranes, etc., is scurvy. It can be treated by drinking lemon juice, orange juice, or eating fresh vegetables. Drinking tea regularly can also be ......"
"As for those who were wounded in the battle, I will arrange for them to come with the soldiers. The doctor you are talking about, we are talking about Langzhong. Suijun Lang is the meaning of military doctor. I'll arrange for someone to bring you lemon juice or something, and give you some tea......"
Saiviala asked curiously, "Brigadier General, it seems that you are interested in this kind of ...... Is scurvy very good? Can you really treat it......"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said confidently: "Scurvy is not a big deal, it is only caused by a lack of vitamin C, as long as you supplement vitamin C in time, scurvy will cure itself, you don't need to worry about it at all......"
Saviara humbly asked, "Vitamin C......, what is that?" ”
Zhang Zhun subconsciously touched his nose. Could it be that the Western powers at this time did not know what vitamins were? It's a bit of a hassle to explain. However, he was smart after all, and quickly found a way to explain" and said methodically: "Vitamin C, D C, understand?" Our human body needs a lot of substances, and one of them is called vitamins. Due to the different ingredients, there are dozens of vitamins. Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of C vitamins. Do you understand......"
Saviara nodded as if she didn't understand.
In fact, at this time, the Western powers had indeed not separated vitamins. The emergence of vitamins "did not come until the twentieth century. Western navigators were ignorant enough to know that the occurrence of scurvy was controlled in the 10th century. It is precisely because of the solution to scurvy that Western warships will reach Asia in large numbers. The world's nautical adventures also began to march to those unknown corners, and finally completed the exploration of the entire earth.
Tea is very popular with Westerners because at some point, it can effectively prevent the occurrence of XX disease. Some people who like to drink tea, on the ocean, basically do not have scurvy. When Zheng He went to the West, the main reason why the crew basically did not have scurvy was because they drank tea every day and often ate fresh bean sprouts.
However, in the thirties of the seventeenth century, no one in the whole world, except for Zhang Zhun, had a clear concept of scurvy and vitamins, and even if Zhang Zhun said it, Seviara and Sean and others would not understand it very well. After a moment, Seviala said respectfully, "Brigadier General, how do you know these ......?"
Of course, Zhang Zhun can't say that I am a time-traveler, I crossed over four hundred years later, so I know. He said casually: "We Ming people know ......"
Saviara said in disbelief: "Impossible! Many Ming people in the south don't know! They never mentioned the word scurvy......"
Zhang Zhunyi said sternly: "They don't know because they don't study well" and forgot all the things left by their ancestors. ”
He wants to maintain the dignity of the Heavenly Empire in front of the British girl, and immediately tear out his ancestors. In fact, this matter "has nothing to do with the ancestors and is indeed a dime."
Saiviala still said with a little disbelief: "You Ming people already know? ”
Zhang Zhun said awe-inspiringly: "Of course! We also have a great navigator named Zheng He, who led the fleet on a voyage two hundred years ago. He started in the South China Sea and headed west. The furthest he's ever been has been to the east coast of Africa. Well, it's near the Red Sea. Having sailed such long distances, his fleet, with a crew of tens of thousands, has never had a scurvy ......"
Saviara obviously believed it, but said happily: "Red Sea? I know the Red Sea ......"
Zhang Zhun said casually: "You came around from the Cape of Good Hope, of course you know the ...... of the Red Sea."
Saviara began to feel a little strange again" and asked suspiciously, "How do you know about the Cape of Good Hope......"
Zhang Zhun said casually: "Isn't this weird? ”
Saviara nodded, indicating that it was indeed a little strange. The name of the Cape of Good Hope, when it was in Nanyang, many Ming people did not know. Because, this place is indeed too far away from the Ming Kingdom. Only ships coming from Europe, only people from the West, will know this name.
"I know not only the Cape of Good Hope, but also Mogadishu, Sofala, Mombasa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Cape Town, St. George's, Sao Tome, Rwanda, Green Point, Las Palmas, ........."
Brigadier Zhang poured out the names of places in the game.
"Oh my God, Brigadier General, you know so much!" As a result, Saviara was completely captivated.
Some of the place names mentioned by Zhang Zhun are known to Saiviala. Some of the place names she didn't know. However, out of a strange view of Zhang Zhun, she didn't expect that Zhang Zhun was reciting the name of the place in the game at all. She only thought that the names of places she didn't know actually existed, but she didn't know them. In short, she deeply believes that Zhang Zhun knows "much more than she knows!"
"Lisbon, Serbia, Valencia, Marseille, Genoa, Venice, Naples, Sicurasa, Istanbul, Alexandria, Tunisia, Puerto Rico, Algeria, Ceuta, Cyprus, Crete, Beirut, Athens, ......",
"London, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Oslo, Bruges, Riga, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Brister, Lubik, ........."
Zhang Zhun memorized the names of the places in the game backwards, and simply recited all the relevant ports in the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea.
"You've been to our hometown?"
After coming to her senses, Saviara asked again in surprise.
Not only was it surprised, but even the old captain Sean, and the two old sailors, Ferdinand and Gascoigne, were equally surprised. Zhang Zhun recited almost all the names of ports in the Mediterranean Sea and the North Sea. This is simply incredible for a Ming person.
You must know that the names of these ports belong to different countries and powers, and the relationship between them is very complicated. For example, the east and west sides of the Mediterranean Sea are at war all year round. The trade between the two sides was almost cut off. Even Sean himself has not been to all the ports.
"You must not have been to the New World......"
Saviara suddenly felt something," she said quickly.
"The New World? Do you mean St. John's, Maracaibo, Puerto Vero, Merida, Santo Dominica, Havana, Jamaica, Veracruz, Caenne, Pernambuco, these places? Oh, those places are so far away......"
Zhang Zhun's ability to recite place names is extremely smooth. As a non-commissioned officer who often delves into maps, it is really easy to memorize all the names of places in the game.
"You...... Brigadier General, you must have been to the New World! You must have been! This time, it was Sean, whose eyes lit up, who spoke.
This old sailor, looking at Zhang Zhun's gaze, looked respectful. Sean did go to the New World, and he stayed there for at least three years. However, "he felt that he was not yet familiar with the ports of the New World."
"Nope!" , Zhang Zhun denied it lightly.
"And how do you know so many place names in the New World?" , Saivia asked reluctantly.
"The ...... I dreamed of"
Zhang Zhunda replied again. Sai Viara looked back at Sean and said suspiciously, "Uncle Sean, do you believe it......"
Sean shook his head without hesitation.
The more Zhang Zhun denied it, the more they believed that Zhang Zhun had really been to the New World. For a Ming person, having been to the distant New World, not to mention what he did in the New World, just for this incomparably distant trip, is enough to make people respectful. Moreover, the most incredible thing is that Zhang Zhun still looks so young, at most twenty years old!
Saiviara immediately followed and said eagerly: "Brigadier General, Brigadier General, I know you must be a very powerful person!" You let me follow you and learn from you! ”
Zhang Zhun said seriously: ", pay attention to the fact that I have a wife......"
Saviara said, "It's okay, I can be your lover......"
Zhang Zhun said without hesitation: "I don't want a lover like you." Saiviala didn't mean to back down at all, and asked reluctantly: "Okay, since you don't want me to be a lover, what do you want me to do......"
Zhang Zhun said word by word: "Hurry up and provide me with your cannon casting technology......"
Saviara smiled and said, "Uncle Ferdinand used to be a cannon smith, and he was responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of the cannons on our battleship......"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Okay, you guys settle down here first to recover your body." The food you need, as well as all kinds of supplies, I will arrange for someone to have special contact with you......"
Saviara agreed.
Zhang Zhun straightened his face and said, "Without my order, don't trespass around." Your identity is kept secret here. Over there, that's where my army is stationed. In case they have a misunderstanding, it will cause you trouble. Saiviala hurriedly said, "What's the trouble......"
Zhang Zhun stretched out his hand and pointed to her eyebrows, and said softly: "Bang......"
Saviara's body shook slightly.
Apparently she remembered the power of Zhang Zhun's musket.
Sean came up and asked, "Brigadier General, where is this?" Zhang Zhun asked people to bring a chart and point out the approximate location of Phi Island on the map, but unexpectedly, Sean immediately exclaimed exaggerated when he saw this chart: "Oh my God! Brigadier General, is this your chart! Such a detailed chart, each worth at least a thousand gold coins......"
Saviara and Ferdinand also leaned over immediately, their eyes as if they had seen the vault, and they couldn't wait to shout: "Really! Such a detailed chart! Each copy is worth at least 1,000 gold coins......"
Zhang Zhun immediately noticed that he was accidentally showing off again.
At that time, the ocean was a turbulent era, and there were constantly seafaring explorers exploring everywhere. They map the places they have explored, and then sell them to others for a profit. There are specialized organizations that collect all the charts and then stitch them together to form a more complete chart. One of the things that every captain who goes to sea must do when leaving the port is to prepare the relevant charts. The more complete and detailed the chart, the more expensive it is and the more gold it will cost.
However, so far there are many places that have not been touched by explorers. As a result, even the most complete charts have a lot of blanks. For example, the area around Australia, for example, the west of South America, for example, the North Pole, the South Pole, etc., cannot be marked on the chart.
However, Zhang Zhun's chart marks so many places. As soon as Sean and the others looked at the map near their hometown, they understood that Zhang Zhun's chart was quite accurate. The least, in their home location, is accurate.
Saviara hurriedly pulled out her charts and compared them with each other. Sure enough, in the part of Europe, there is not much difference.
It can be inferred from this that the other parts should also be accurate. The charts used by Seviala are all spliced together, only a part, and most of the area is blank. In front of Zhang Zhun's chart, it is simply too ugly.
"Brigadier General, what a surprise you are! I can't express my respect for you! ", said the old sailor Sean respectfully.
"It's just a chart."
Zhang Zhun said lightly.
"How much is this chart? We want to buy a copy! Jiviala said quickly.
"Don't sell ......"
Zhang Zhun flatly refused.
"10,000 Gold Coins ......"
Saviara immediately raised the price.
"They all say it's not for sale!" , Zhang Zhun said coldly.
"Really, it's not for sale?" , Saviara said disappointedly.
Shawn, Ferdinand, Gascoigne and other old sailors desperately looked at the map, as if to memorize it firmly. What is rare is that Zhang Zhun did not mean to put away the chart.
"However, as long as we are friendly and cooperative, I can send you a few ......"
Zhang Zhun said quietly.
"Oh! Brigadier General, you're so nice......"
Saiviala became excited, and was about to pounce and kiss Zhang Zhun again.
Zhang Zhun is naturally a tricky dodge has passed.
Sean said with admiration: "I really can't imagine that there are such detailed charts in this world." Unexpectedly, he also walked out of the hands of the brigadier general. ”
Zhang Zhun said proudly: "Because you have come to a magical country. This country is called China ......"
