Chapter 161: Caught in a Storm
On the bow deck. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two looked at the beautiful morning sun in the distance together, a round of red sun slowly rising from the sea in the distance, very beautiful, the only fly in the ointment is that there are some clouds, sometimes blocking this round of beautiful morning sun. If there were no clouds, it would be even more beautiful.
After watching Chaoyang, looking at Princess Kunxing with a happy and innocent face, a string in Zhang Feng's heart seemed to be fluctuating, and Zhang Feng found that he liked this little girl a little bit.
There are few monogamys in this era, and Zhang Feng never thought that he would guard Chen Yuanyuan alone to grow old together, the popular thing in this era is three wives and four concubines, of course, Chongzhen has been married, and she is still the princess of Kunxing, Zhang Feng's three wives and four concubines are a little difficult.
Because Chongzhen definitely did not allow Zhang Feng to marry the princess and have other women, however, Zhang Feng knew that the Ming Dynasty would fall in a few years, and when the Ming Dynasty fell, Chongzhen was also hanged in the coal mountain, and who else could care about how many wives he had.
A string in Zhang Feng's heart was plucked, and then think about the two of them spent one night together last night, although they didn't do anything, although the two already had the status of husband and wife, but they had not yet become married, there were some things, Zhang Feng felt the need to talk to Princess Kunxing.
Zhang Feng said softly: "Ru'er, I'll talk to you about a serious matter." ”
Seeing that he was talking about business, and Zhang Feng's face was serious, Princess Kunxing gradually withdrew her gaze, looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Brother Feng, say it." ”
Zhang Feng said apologetically: "Ru'er, before Your Majesty issued the holy decree, I already had a fiancée, her name is Chen Yuanyuan, we have a good relationship, we ......"
Zhang Feng slowly talked about the matter between himself and Chen Yuanyuan, starting from the acquaintance of the two, from Zhang Feng's words, he could hear it, and he could clearly feel the deep feelings between Zhang Feng and Chen Yuanyuan.
After listening to Zhang Feng's speech, Princess Kunxing had tears in her eyes, and two big tears slowly flowed down from her beautiful big eyes, along the beautiful, obviously naïve and immature face, slowly flowed down, dripped on the deck, and shattered.
Princess Kunxing choked up and said, "Brother Feng, you said that you have a fiancée, and the relationship between you is so good, then, what should I do, do you like me or not?" ”
Zhang Feng said sincerely: "Ru'er, I didn't like you before, and I didn't even want to see you, but after getting along for the past few days, I found that I like you, your innocence, and your liveliness and cuteness make me like it deeply." ”
After listening to Zhang Feng's words, Princess Kunxing burst into tears and smiled, and said happily: "I knew that you would definitely like me." ”
Zhang Feng nodded and said apologetically: "Ru'er, this is cruel to you, because you have to share a man with another woman, and you are a princess, which is almost impossible for you." ”
After listening to Zhang Feng talk about the matter between him and Chen Yuanyuan just now, Princess Kunxing knew that it was impossible for Zhang Feng to abandon Chen Yuanyuan, and it was almost impossible for her to be a princess and serve a husband with another woman.
Sad, sad to death.
Thinking about this, Princess Kunxing sighed softly, and then said firmly: "Brother Feng, anyway, I'm still young, it's still early for us to officially get married, give me a little time, I must convince my father." ”
Zhang Feng waved his hand and said: "Ru'er, don't mention these things to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be angry, and it will be unfavorable to you at that time, as long as you can accommodate Yuanyuan in your heart, leave the rest to me, in two or three years, maybe this will not be a problem." ”
Zhang Feng knew that in another two or three years, the Ming Dynasty would fall, which was naturally not a big problem, and everything would be solved.
Seeing Zhang Feng say this, and still looking confident, Kun Xing smiled, returned to carefree, and said happily: "Brother Feng, everything is up to you, and I want to meet Sister Chen, I think Sister Chen and I will definitely get along very well." ”
Hearing this, his heart was light, and he was happy for a while, as long as Princess Kunxing could get along well with Yuanyuan, everything would no longer be a problem.
The fleet of these three ships sailed day and night, but on the third day, when the fleet reached the East China Sea, the weather changed, the wind blew, the sky was cloudy, and a storm was coming.
"Lord Commander, the sky has changed, and the wind and waves are very strong."
The captain of the Shanghai looked anxious and reported loudly to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng also looked outside, Zhang Feng knew that in front of nature, human beings are insignificant, even this ironclad ship can not say that everything will be safe and sound.
Zhang Feng said: "Be prepared for the storm, everyone enter the cabin, don't stay on the deck." ”
"Yes!"
When the order was given, all the sailors also paid attention to it, because everyone knew that the wind and waves were already very strong and could be dangerous.
With the help of the strong wind, the sea was turbulent, and the waves several meters high hit the ironclad ship from time to time, and the ironclad ship seemed to be a flat boat, constantly undulating in the sea.
"Boom ......"
The sound of explosions and thunder continued to sound, lightning and thunder, the visibility of the sea was very low, and the heavy rain crackled and hit the ironclad ships.
Standing in the command room of the ironclad ship Shanghai, Zhang Feng's expression was not relaxed, and through the glass of the command room, he could see that the 3,000 warship not far away seemed to be sailing more hard.
Princess Kunxing's face turned a little pale with fright, and she grabbed Zhang Feng's arm tightly, and Zhang Feng could even feel the little girl trembling.
Zhang Feng gently patted Princess Kunxing's little hand and comforted: "It's okay, this little wind and wave is nothing, I have seen many times no matter how big the wind and waves are." ”
Of course, Zhang Feng is lying, Zhang Feng himself is definitely the first time to encounter such a big storm and bad weather, Zhang Feng almost scolded this ghost weather in his heart, Zhang Feng This is a white lie.
Sure enough, seeing Zhang Feng say this, Princess Kunxing was much better, no longer so nervous, seeing this, Zhang Feng was a little relieved.
However, Zhang Feng still quietly glanced at the captain of the Shanghai not far away, and the two exchanged glances, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes.
Through the glass, you can clearly see that a big wave is coming, pressing the bow of the ironclad ship into the waves, and the whole bow is almost missing, and then the bow of the ship rushes out of the waves, raises high, and then plunges down again.
Zhang Feng and the others stood in the command room, almost not standing firmly, and some sailors next to them even exclaimed, such a big wind and waves, the sailors are estimated to be the first time to see them.
The situation is bad, Zhang Feng is most worried about the 3,000-material warship, because this is a wooden warship, and the structural strength is definitely not as strong as the ironclad ship, if it falls apart in such a big wind and waves, then the situation is very serious.
This kind of 3,000-material warship is mainly designed by Tang Jianqing and Song Yingxing together, Zhang Feng only has a general understanding, only knows that a lot of reinforcing structures are used, and a lot of watertight cabin anti-sinking structures are used.
3,000 warships.
The sailors were on the verge of a great enemy, and one of the cabins was flooded, and several sailors were hurrying to close the cabin to prevent the sea from raging everywhere.
"Captain, there is already a broken cabin and water, what should I do?"
Someone panicked and ran over to report with an anxious face, and the captain Tang Zhenming said loudly: "Quick, quickly close all anti-sinking secret cabins, he XX, this damn ghost weather." ”
The anti-sinking watertight compartments of the 3,000-material warship were closed one by one, and the watertight compartments were basically closed, even if they were damaged, at least the ship would not sink.
The wind and waves were very strong, the wind and rain were combined, and the lightning and thunder were roaring.
Many people spent their time in worry, and it was not until the evening that the wind and waves gradually decreased, and it was not until the second half of the night that everything returned to calm.
In the morning, the sky was bright, and a round of red sun rose from the sea level, this time it was different, there were no clouds to obstruct it, and today's morning sun was much more beautiful.
Zhang Feng stood on the deck, next to Princess Kunxing, Princess Kunxing clapped her hands and said happily: "Brother Feng, how beautiful you look." ”
Zhang Feng nodded, this is indeed beautiful, but yesterday's storm made Zhang Feng full of worries, fortunately, now the wind and rain have finally stopped, the wind and waves are calm, and you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Yesterday's storm, the two ironclad ships have completely withstood the test, basically there is no loss, but the 3,000 material warship is different, in the end it is a wooden structure, in terms of structural strength is worse, there are a few damages, several anti-sinking secret cabins are damaged and flooded, fortunately, the design of this 3,000 material warship is relatively scientific, and the anti-sinking secret cabins are too much, even if there is a certain degree of damage, but it does not affect the navigation.
After seeing the beautiful scenery of the morning sun and having breakfast, the captain of the ironclad ship Shanghai came to report, and the report was bad news, because of yesterday's storm, the fleet deviated from the original course, and the deviation was quite serious.
In this era when there is no satellite navigation, on this sea, deviating from the course is a big thing, Zhang Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Where are we and can you tell where we are?"
"Lord Commander, we speculate, we have reached this position." The captain of the Shanghai made an important point on the chart, "Less than 200 nautical miles to the southeast is Kagoshima in Japan. ”
Zhang Feng's eyes fell on the sea chart, and he said in his heart, he actually arrived here, this is the sphere of influence of the Japanese, and he will not encounter the Japanese fleet.
Zhang Feng's speculation is not unreasonable, in fact, not far from Zhang Feng's location, only a few dozen nautical miles, there is a Japanese fleet composed of more than a dozen warships, and it still belongs to the fleet of the Satsuma Domain, and the largest warship is Shimazu Nobuyoshi.
