Chapter 635: Beiyang Submarine
"Do you want to ...... Let's take a look? Gou Leisheng asked hesitantly.
He actually said what several people thought: if they don't figure out what it is, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat this crab.
Everyone's eyes turned to Wu Junsheng, and at this time, Wu Junsheng was still holding a telescope and looking at the sea intently.
The huge whale-like object was shaking with the rush of the waves.
Why, is its body like erect?
Suddenly, Wu Junsheng seemed to see a round lid on its back, and his heart chuckled suddenly.
"Come with me, everyone!" Wu Junsheng shouted sharply.
Hao Biao and the others were startled at first, but they did not hesitate to the commander's order, and immediately each took a weapon - a few knives and a shotgun, Wu Junsheng put away the binoculars, picked up an axe, and rushed out of the door, and the thieves quickly followed.
Wu Junsheng and the others rushed to the beach at a trot, and then they saw that Bai Hanwen and Du Luoxi had arrived first, and each of them had a spear in their hands and was about to throw it at the monster in front of them.
"Slow down!" Wu Junsheng shouted loudly, stopping the movements of the two.
"My lord, this is a diving boat! Not a whale! Bai Hanwen shouted with his spear, and a cylinder was tied to the top of the spear in his hand, which was supposed to contain gunpowderβthis was obviously the work of Durohi, and the spear in Durohi's hand was also arranged.
"Of course I knew it was a diving boat!" Wu Junsheng glared at Bai Hanwen, "Don't think you've seen the world!" β
Bai Hanwen choked on his words, but the spear in his hand still didn't put it down.
Duroshi heard. Instead, he slowly put back the spear in his hand.
"Your Excellency. What do you mean. This is ......" Du Luoxi asked Wu Junsheng with some hesitation.
Wu Junsheng ignored Du Luoxi, but waded into the sea and walked towards the diving boat step by step.
By the light of the lighthouse, the outline of the stranded monster on the surface of the sea was already clear at such a close distance, it was a large, long, fish-like object, with a pointed head and a thin tail, and no fins. It had a round lid on its back, and its tail was constantly foaming, and I don't know what was going on.
This is indeed a diving boat.
Just as Wu Junsheng was about to get close to it, the bubble suddenly stopped rising.
Wu Junsheng did not stop, but circled towards the stern of the bubbling diving boat just now.
He fished his hand in the sea and felt the torn net.
At this moment, the lid on the back of the dive boat opened, and a black figure emerged from inside.
"Trouble a few helpers to get rid of the fishing nets!" The other party said in fluent senior official dialect.
"Who are you? Why is it here? Bai Hanwen still didn't dare to take it lightly at this time, and asked loudly.
"You're a thief camp on this Changshan Island, aren't you? I can't imagine such a dutiful person. Not bad. The other party smiled, "I have to talk to Yuan Daotai when I go back." You people are all creative talents, and it's a shame to stay here. β
"Less rhetoric there!" Bai Hanwen still didn't buy it, "Who are you?" What's the point? Don't make it clear, watch out for the guy in my hands! β
The black figure smiled, "Which of you is in charge?" He asked, obviously not taking "General Bai" in his eyes, which made Bai Hanwen even more annoyed.
"It's me." Wu Junsheng raised his head and said.
"And then." The other party threw a scroll over, and Wu Junsheng raised his left hand and caught the scroll.
And the moment Wu Junsheng held the scroll in his hand, his face had changed.
He dropped the axe in his hand and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.
Hao Biao and a few people came over, and what caught their eyes was an ink-colored rubbing of a dragon pattern token.
It was still raining heavily, and I don't know what kind of cloth the scroll was made of, but after the raindrops hit, not only did it not get wet, but the ink color did not blur in the slightest, but all the water droplets slid down, as if the cloth had been soaked in oil.
Bai Hanwen also came over, and as soon as he saw the rubbing of the dragon pattern token, his face also changed greatly.
"This ...... Is this a silver angel? Bai Hanwen threw away the spear in his hand, knelt down in the sea water, and bowed his head.
He is a Bo person, and he understands better what kind of status and identity the silver angel is.
"We are Lord Lin's subordinates, training the submarine for the Beiyang Sailor Instructor, but we were washed here by the waves, and the dark wheel at the stern of the boat was caught by the fishing net." The man in black looked at them with a burning gaze, "You set up this fishing net, right?" Excuse me, help take it off, let's go back to Lushunkou, Lord Lin is now in Lushunkou. β
"Yes! Mark it and obey! Wu Junsheng respectfully re-rolled the scroll and threw it to the man in black, then squatted down and picked up the axe again in the seawater, ran to the fishing net and chopped it.
Seeing this, Hao Biao, Bai Hanwen and others also hurriedly stepped forward to help, cutting the fishing net with a knife, and after a while, the fishing net entangled in the submarine propeller was removed, and the man in black ordered to start, and the propeller turned again, with the foam surging, the submarine first drove to the shore for a while, and then turned its head and drove into the sea.
At this time, the pirate camps discovered that there were four huge wheels in the belly of this submarine!
Seeing the submarine disappear on the surface of the sea, Wu Junsheng let out a long breath.
"Unexpected...... There is such a thing as a clever thing in the world......" muttered the mechanic-obsessed Durohi.
"Let's go! Go back and eat crabs! Wu Junsheng waved his hand and said to several subordinates.
"Imperial Court ...... Is it really going to be a great water healer...... I...... I'm going to the water division! Bai Hanwen looked at the direction in which the submarine disappeared and did not want to look back for a long time.
At this time, he would not have thought that the fate of these people had undergone profound changes from this moment on.
The room suddenly brightened, Liu Ziqi carried the dancing flame to the stove room, the hood on the cloak drooped to the side, and the hideous face looked warm and smooth in the firelight. The thieves watched him calmly flash into the stove, dumbfounded as if speechless. After a while, Hao Biao smacked his lips: "The pimple is a beautiful hand." I can't get tired of watching it so many times. β
Shang Wanchun smiled: "I don't get tired of saying it so many times." Do you have a fresh one? With his sleeves rolled up, he walked to the stove.
A big place like Shengjing City. There are many famous seafood restaurants in it, each with its own famous dishes, and the cooking method is naturally not a secret. But let's be honest, where does fresh seafood need any complicated cooking? The fish and crabs that have just come out of the water are washed and thrown into the boiling water cauldron, steamed or boiled, as long as the heat is well handled. That's the supreme delicacy.
Boiling crab has always been Shang Wanchun's responsibility. He usually doesn't even bother to wash his face when he gets up, but he is most willing to work fishing and boiling crabs. When he first bought the sampan, in order to learn the skills of the fisherman's cooking, Shang Wanchun was able to walk several miles every day for a month to go to the golden beach to find a fisherman's apprenticeship.
At this time, there was a huge grass basket on the table, red and bright and shiny, all of which were good blue crabs, and the pieces of clotted paste with white flowers under the abdomen were not scattered, broken or overflowing, and it was just right, it was Shang Wanchun's craftsmanship.
The oil lamps in the house were lit. The blubber from Cheung Son Island was brought in by the baggage soldiers of the green mud pool, and could only be used for lighthouses. The thieves could only use their own money to buy some soybean oil to cook vegetables and light lamps. Over the years, I have never heard of anyone daring to steal blubber. The lights in the barracks are nothing more than illumination. The lighthouse on the island is a matter of human life. Although there are few ships in these years, who knows when a boat will emerge from the sea fog?
Just like today, a strangely shaped diving boat appeared out of the sea for no reason, which is something that has never happened to them.
The soybean oil lamp is smoky and dim. Hao Biao complained to Gou Leisheng: "You poor acid, you have to save one wick." β
Gou Leisheng snorted disdainfully and responded, "What do you know? We only have half a jar of soybean oil left. This time, the baggage soldiers were half a month late, and I don't know if they will come, if the old men in Qingniwa City forget about us, they won't even be able to see this wick at night in the future. β
"Always coming." Wu Junsheng sighed, it is common for the green mud to delay the food and salary of the thieves, but this time it looks a little strange, "But Xiao Gou is right, we can save a little." Seeing that winter is coming, it is not easy for the baggage soldiers to go, and it is really delayed if it is not good. β
"Yes...... Gou Leisheng said in a long voice, "It's a good sunny day, and it's raining, isn't it even more delayed?!" β
"But but," Hao Biao's egg-sized eyes rolled, "you say, why did it take so long this time?" Is there a real war? β
The last time the baggage soldiers came, they said that there might be a war, and the fort project at Lushunkou was intensified, and I heard that the imperial court also sent a large number of soldiers to inspect it, and drove a few ironclad warships over. But the heavy soldier is a fool, and if he asks any more, he won't know anything. It was still Bai Hanwen who asked left and right, and only then did he inquire about it.
It turned out that in order to occupy Hokkaido, Japan, the Russians transferred the main force of the naval division far away in Europe, counting more than 40 large and small ironclad warships, which walked around Tianjin and Shanghai and other Haikou at every turn. The thing is obvious, Lushunkou is the gateway to the North Seas, and if the Russian fleet comes to attack, it is inevitable that a battle will be fought here in Qingniwa.
Today, this submarine appeared, and there was a person holding a silver medal on it, which also explained something from the side.
Although because of the special geography, but Qingniwa is only a small village and town, mountains and barbaric land, it is said that the Russian army is incomparable, and it defeated the famous Japanese Satsuma warriors in one year, claiming to be invincible in East Asia. In such a small place, there are only a few defenders, how can they withstand the murderous Russian army?
"It's really spitting shit in three sentences!" Gou Leisheng scolded Hao Biao, "For hundreds of years, except for the early years of the dynasty, when did the Russians dare to attack our idea?" β
"It's been hundreds of years, and there is no such chaotic world as it is now!" Wu Junsheng shook his head, "During the Longhair Rebellion, the Russians took the opportunity to occupy Ili, why can't they fight the idea here?" β
This truth is indeed very simple, but the Northeast has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and it is too difficult for the people here to suddenly accept the war. Thinking of the battle, the faces of the raiders sank.
"Green mud puddle fighting?" Shang Wanchun walked out of the stove with a cauldron, "Who will send us food and salary for the war in Qingniwa?" β
"If there is a war in the mud pool, what kind of food do you expect?! Let's worry about my head first. Wu Junsheng said angrily. Don't guess. Peel crab peel crab! β
"Can you still fight on Changshan Island in the green mud pool?" Shang Wanchun muttered unconvinced. The subordinates didn't stop, picking up a big crab.
The eyes of the thieves were brighter than the lamps, and they sat around the big table calmly, staring at Shang Wanchun peeling crabs in unison.
There was a soft sound, and the fat blue crab was peeled into two pieces by Shang Wanchun, and he squinted his eyes and held the crab under the oil lamp to take a closer look, and the intoxicating crab fragrance flowed out of the white and smooth crab meat, causing everyone's stomach to gurgle. Shang Wanchun sighed. Said with a little regret: "The fire is still a little bigger." β
"Can you eat it?" Hao Biao couldn't hold it back.
"It's okay to eat...... Shang Wanchun only said half a sentence, and before he could continue to express his opinion, he saw his hands stretched out into the grass basket in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and without saying much, brought the crab shell full of red paste to his mouth.
After eating the sixth crab, Hao Biao's speed finally slowed down. He picked up the pebble and began to deal with the dozen or so crab claws stacked in front of him. At first, he felt that the crab paste and crab belly were enjoyable, and at this time, he felt that the crab claws were more delicate.
"Smack!" The crab claws, which are half a fist thick, crack at the hand. Hao Biao burped in satisfaction, raised his glass and took a sip of the bad wine brewed by the thieves. He squinted at Wu Junsheng beside him. The leader of the pore camp stared at the blue crab, seemingly a little sluggish.
"Boss," Hao Biao laughed, "Eat up?" β
The room suddenly became quieter, and the thieves who were busy dealing with the blue crabs all stopped and looked at Wu Junsheng and smiled evilly. Wu Junsheng has a poor stomach, is partial and greedy, and often eats seafood until he has diarrhea.
Wu Junsheng sighed, looked around, and said, "Are you full?" Without waiting for the others to answer, he said, "Well, not all of them are full." β
Hao Biao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly lost color. Wu Junsheng has no official position, he is very easy to get along with, he likes a bowl of water to be flat when he does things, and he is very trusted by the thieves. When I talk like this, I think of the two people on the lighthouse.
After helping the submarine remove the fishing nets just now, Duroshi and Bai Hanwen did not go with them, but returned to the lighthouse. If you want to say that they are loyal to their duties, the two of them really didn't say it, and they can't forget them even if they eat crabs.
Sure enough, Wu Junsheng carefully weighed the half of the crab in his hand, and said leisurely: "Who should I do?" "The unwritten rule of Changshan Island is that when you kill chickens and fish for meat, you always have to send a copy to the tower guard on the island, and this food delivery messenger is rotated by the fishing camp that is not on the tower.
Recently, there have been a lot of trips to the sea, and the business of delivering food is also booming, everyone is eating happily, and suddenly they start to calculate who should take their turn to deliver food, and they are obviously confused. After a while, the side of the table hesitantly raised a hand, and Gou Leisheng said with a bitter face: "Boss, it's raining so hard!" "Everyone knows that this guy is timid, delivering food at night is something he hates to do, not to mention that it is so dark, wet and slippery outside today, which really kills him.
Wu Junsheng smiled and said, "Listen." β
It turns out that boiling crabs and eating crabs is a big deal, and everyone forgets the time. It was now nearly midnight, and although it was still raining, the sound of the rain was not as violent as before.
Gou Leisheng looked out of the door of the black hole, his face was full of fear, and he seemed to vomit out the blue crab he had just eaten.
After a moment of stiffness, Wu Junsheng sighed: "Forget it, I'll go this time." Next time it's your turn. β
Hao Biao stopped him: "Brother Sheng, this rule is always a rule, what kind of mess are you adding." He squinted at Gou Leisheng, "Xiao Gou, how can you say that you are also a seven-foot man, and you can be afraid of the dark for a lifetime?" β
Gou Leisheng's face was flushed, but he didn't speak.
Liu Ziqi couldn't look past it and said: "Xiao Gou is afraid of the dark, and he doesn't mean that he will change it. The boss is the leader, it's not good to take the lead and break the rules, I'll go. β
Hao Biao stared at Gou Leisheng hard, and said without saltiness: "The road is slippery today!" "The mountain road from the barracks to the island is narrow and slippery, Liu Ziqi is thin and weak, and he is originally the worst physical strength among the seven people on Changshan Island, so it is very hard to climb the mountain with food in this weather.
Gou Leisheng was uncomfortable by him, and he also understood that it was very inappropriate to ask Liu Ziqi to go, so he must have hardened his head and said: "Go and go, so much to say." β
Wu Junsheng smiled and said, "Who said that Xiao Gou is timid? Dare to walk such a night road. Xiao Gou, you bring some more wine up, I'm afraid it's cold on the tower today. β
Gou Leisheng looked at Changshan Island intertwined in the rain curtain, did not answer, and couldn't help but make a sudden.
