The weather has been so good in the past few days since I went to sea.

There were hardly any clouds in the sky, and a warm sun hung high in the sky, and the people lying on the deck were lazy; The wind is not big or small, the wind direction is mostly due north or northwest wind, smooth wind and water, if it is not for the "Dawn" to dock at the nameless island from time to time, I am afraid that it has now arrived at Chengshanwei.

The weather is good, the mood is good, and the idle guys on the deck gather in groups to grind their teeth, and from time to time burst into bursts of happy laughter.

Not everyone is in a good mood, and Doudou is in a very bad mood right now.

He sat cross-legged in the cabin below deck, his mouth curled as if he was about to cry, and the sunlight shining through the porthole was shining on his face, which had two tear stains, and on the white paper on the small table in front of him, on which were written crookedly the simplest Chinese characters, such as "heaven", "earth", "man", and "ding"—the characters that Doudou had been punished for copying, fifty times each.

On the second day of going to sea, Chu Fan formulated a training program for the escort team on the ship, and the physical training was mainly push-ups and sit-ups, with at least ten groups of each type per day, and no less than 100 in each group.

After nearly a month of assault training, the escort team has no problem with this amount of exercise, but Chu Fan's two new training contents make them shout that they can't bear it.

One is the training of the bird. Before going to sea, Chu Fan bought ten bird guns and a large number of ** from the eunuchs of the Dengzhou prison army through Liu Zhiyang - the silver is enough to do things beautifully, these ten bird guns are selected from the Dengzhou arsenal, and the quality is quite guaranteed.

The operation of the arquebus was extremely cumbersome, and Chu Fan broke down the entire operation, igniting the rope, hooking, charging, and loading the projectile...... There are more than 20 actions.

For each action, Chu Fan and Liu Zhongwen personally took the lead, repeating it over and over again, and constantly looking for ways to save time.

The boring and monotonous action training made the guards suffer enough, and they were numb to the back of the practice, as if their hands and feet were not their own - it was not good to practice badly, after each movement, the three people who took the longest time had to be punished for push-ups; Those who do not have a proper attitude in training will also be beaten with military sticks.

The effect of the high-intensity training was very obvious, and when the "Dawn" docked on an uninhabited island for the first time for live-fire exercises, the escort team still fired sporadically and made many mistakes. By the time of the third live-fire exercise, the convoy had been able to complete a relatively neat salvo in thirty breaths. (Crab note: 1 breath = 1 second in this book, I checked a lot of information, and I couldn't find the specific time to skillfully load the bird gun, so it is now set to 2 rounds a minute.) ）

"What does it mean to fire a salvo at thirty breaths?"

Doudou still remembers the way the boy spoke to everyone with his hands behind his back that day - now whether it is the escort team or the guys on the ship, they all call Chu Fan "Gongzi", and Liu Zhongwen has become "Second Gongzi", which makes the older Liu Zhongwen extremely depressed.

"That is, if the enemy is charging at us from a hundred paces away with a broadsword and spear, we will only have one chance to fire a salvo!"

Doudou remembered that Chu Gongzi pouted at that time, "So our next training, first of all, we must continue to speed up the speed of reloading and firing, and we must also start practicing three-stage strikes; The so-called three-stage attack is divided into three groups, a group of three, the first group quickly retreats and reloads after firing, the second group also retreats and reloads after firing, and then the third group...... If the first set can be reloaded after the third set, we'll have a lot of firepower! ”

Doudou didn't understand what "firepower" meant—there were always unintelligible words coming out of Childe's mouth—but he knew exactly what Childe meant, and if he kept shooting in such a loop, would anyone in the world be able to get close to the body?

Childe can always come up with some eye-catching ideas, which is what Doudou envies and admires the most, so he is very active and hard working in Bird's Gun training, and he is the fastest in many movements.

But in another training that Childe added, Doudou completely stopped cooking.

That's practicing calligraphy!

When Childe sent the brush and pine ink to everyone in the guard, the others may be ecstatic, such as the pillar, but Doudou is extremely depressed.

Doudou's surname is Hua, his real name is Hua Zetong, and he has the nickname Doudou because he is small. His family is a local landlord in Quang Ninh, and he is the only male in the eldest house in the family, and the elders in the family are very doting on him. He has hated studying since he was a child, and his father invited him to invite three gentlemen who were all angry with him and ran away, and since then, Hua Dashao has never touched a book.

In the battle of Guangning in the second year of the Apocalypse, after Xiong Jingluo issued the order to retreat, his family was difficult to leave his homeland because of his family's great business, and he was ready to switch to the Tartars - in the face of family interests, the so-called national righteousness was a joke - but what he didn't expect was that the Tartars not only wanted his family's wealth, but also his family's life!

He was only ten years old when Doudou was carried by a loyal old servant and rushed out of the Hua family, which had turned into a sea of fire.

Three years ago, the old servant took Doudou to Dengzhou, and the old servant contracted the wind cold on the road, and died just after arriving in Dengzhou.

The identity has changed, the circumstances have changed, but the former Hua Dashao still has no interest in reading and writing, so in this training, Doudou has become the person who has been punished the most.

Doudou looked at the blue sea and blue sky outside the porthole, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Childe is good at everything, it's this one who forces people to read and write, and he really wants his own life!

"Beanie! Are you still in a daze? The pillar's angry roar frightened Doudou, and when he turned his head, the pillar stared at him angrily, "Don't hurry up and write!" Childe can say, if you can't finish writing, don't eat dinner! ”

Doudou's face stiffened, and he dipped the pen in ink like a chicken claw, and continued to write down the word "Ding" crookedly.

Just when Doudou gritted his teeth to deal with the pen, Ge Bi in the pavilion was also thinking deeply.

After passing Chu Fan's training, these newly recruited Liao people were very obedient, and in just a few days, they were already completely familiar with their positions and responsibilities, which made Ge Bi overjoyed - you must know that if you follow the previous method, it will not be possible to straighten out the ship in less than half a month.

The old captain was even more pleased with the smooth sailing since the voyage, and at this speed, he would be able to reach Chengshanwei before dark to-day, which was the first stopping point of the voyage.

In this era, the voyage from Shandong to the Wa Kingdom did not go straight to Nagasaki in one go, but had several stops along the way, with Seongsanwei being the first, Jemulpo being the second, and finally Ushido in Jeju County. The resting point is a place to replenish fresh water, foodstuffs, and repair the boat, while also observing the direction of the currents, and if strong winds and waves are expected, the ship can only stop at the resting point until the weather improves before setting sail - judging the weather conditions is the experience of an old captain like Ge Bi.

As a resting point, Chengshanwei has many shipyards, although it cannot build ships, but tinkering is not a problem.

It was precisely because of these shipyards that Chu Fan thought of a way, and Ge Bi was both happy and suspicious when he heard it.

Is it a good idea, is it possible?
