Chapter Eighty-Five: Night Pot
"You stinky boy, fortunately I didn't have a **, young master, otherwise, I would have picked your skin." I probably slept with a rabbit all night, and you actually ran out early in the morning to play with the sword, I let you play the sword, let you play the sword.
He tugged at the ears of the big head, and the big head tilted his head and exchanged heavily, "Young master, I was wrong!" Next time, I won't play the secret swordsmanship in front of so many people. ”
The obedient official became more and more angry, who cares if you don't have swordsmanship, I'm talking about rabbits, rabbits, rabbits...... "Hehe! Brother Zheng, what's the matter, I can't get along with this little brother when I first get up. Zhongli next to him suddenly appeared, the obedient official looked at him, and let go of the ears of the big head angrily, "I said Brother Zhong, no wonder you don't have a son now, your feelings are unique and fetish, I like that mouthful!" ”
Zhongli was stunned, and it took a while to react to what he said, and he was a little puzzled, "I said brother, how do you say this, don't you literati like this tune?" ”
The obedient official rolled his eyes at what he said, feeling that he was very quick to learn these things, and couldn't help but say: "Literati still like to lick women's little feet, why don't you learn it." ”
General Zhong's eyes lit up, and he sneakily pulled his sleeve, "Brother, brother, I heard that Mr. Qingteng wrote a book, which said that this woman's three-inch feet are the treasure of Kang, and there are many ways to smell, suck, lick, bite, scratch, take off, pinch, and push, I don't know if it's true?" ”
Lying on the mud horse, the obedient official was said by him, as if the monk had hit the bronze bell in his ear, and the shock was that the braincase was buzzing.
This guy is really crazy, and the shit poop pulled out by the literati is also fragrant.
On this, maybe he has a common language with the neurotic Mr. Qingteng, but the good official really can't communicate with him, it's pitiful, his mind is full of feudal dross, and there is nothing to work hard.
After a while, the obedient official calmed down his breath, and said seriously: "I said brother, whether you take the dry road or the secret road, these are not normal roads after all, if my brother wants to continue to have children, it is better to learn less about this, not to mention, the literati are not all like to play these tunes......" said, seeing that he wanted to distinguish, he quickly changed the topic, "Don't talk about this, where are we now?" ”
As soon as Zhong Guerrilla was changed the topic by him, he was immediately depressed, you must know that he prides himself on learning some names from literati and celebrities, but people don't talk to him about this, it's like a chef who just made a good dish to give people to taste, but people don't even look at it, and they feel depressed! Don't mention it.
"I'm going to go to the island where the Yan family is going to take goods in a while." General Zhong's face was full of depression, "Brother, I'll show you around." ”
The Dafu ship that the obedient official took is a big ship of 2,000 materials, with a sharp head and a wide tail, and the two ends are cocked, because there is a watertight cabin, it can be said to be a longitudinal mark in the deep-water sea area (not a typo, the last time because of this two-word chapter review for five hours, we invented a word ourselves, smart people understand) freely, Western ships of the same era did not have watertight cabins.
The two climbed to the top of the Cao Tower, the location here is similar to the captain's room in later generations, at a glance, the sea is choppy, and they are full of pride.
The obedient officer looked at the two slightly smaller fortune boats on the left and right, pointed to the boat with wide eyes, and asked Zhong Guerrilla, "What is painted on the hull of this boat?" ”
"Sharks!" Zhong Guerrilla said: "There are also particulars on the sea, so taboo, when a new ship goes to sea, the first thing to do is the eye, which is called the ship's eye, and the warship is usually painted as a shark outfit......"
"Then, I used to take the Yan family's boat, and that boat is also huge, a thousand materials, why don't you have this thing?" The good officer asked urgently.
Zhong Guerrilla disdainful, although he used to be a horse bandit, but he accepted Zhao'an, because he listened to the errand in Zhejiang, he spent half of his time at sea, and he knew everything about the ships at sea, "That boat, it must be a sand boat, low is flat, it looks big, it is the inland sea, we are sitting on a lucky boat, but it is a pointed bottom, just this boat under our feet, two thousand materials, two feet of draft, covered with iron leaves, the general artillery is no different from being gnawed by a mouse, our ship is also equipped with twenty big franc machines, twenty small franc machines, 200 guns of all kinds, 200 rattan cards, 100 spears, 1,000 dart guns, 100 pairs of iron armor, and 300 waist knives......"
He was also arrogant when he spoke, such a big ship, saying something unpleasant, pulling out for a walk, going out to sea to suppress bandits, it was really a car running over the mantis, like a bamboo.
The obedient official was dumbfounded,, two thousand materials?
Two thousand materials are about equal to a displacement of 1,200 tons, and in another 50 years, the world's largest battleship, the British Sea King, has a displacement of only 1,500 tons, of course, because the Western ships are U-shaped bottoms, the number of artillery is more than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty Fu ship is a V-shaped bottom, and there are inevitably fewer artillery, but most of the Fu ships are equipped with [weighing thousands of catties, as far as four or five miles] big Franc cannons, commonly known as thousands of pounds of Franc machines, and the power is greater than that of Western artillery.
This kind of comparison of battleships that are not in the same era is inevitably suspicious of Qin Qiong in the public war, which is not taken by the wise, but the good officials are still happy that they were born in such a Ming Dynasty, no matter what, this is still an era when the East and the West have learned from each other.
"How did I hear that the drawings of the 2,000-material ship have been lost?" The obedient official couldn't help but ask, this is the most common brick family argument in later generations, Zhong Guerrilla turned his head to look at him, his face was a little weird, and after a while, he said: "Brother, this officialdom convention, hide it from the top or not, you don't think that those bigwigs in the capital will lose it if they tell the emperor that it will be lost!" ”
These words choked the obedient official, and I couldn't help but say in my heart, you are a bandit, you are really an official fan if you open your mouth and close your mouth about officialdom.
For example, in the sixth year of Longqing, that is, the sixth year of the reign of today's Wanli's father, the imperial court built more than 400 ships for sea transportation in one go, and the result was that the first time I went to sea, the following was played, and six ships were lost, and the vigorous sea transportation of grain stopped. In the second year, the governor of Nanzhili asked for the resale of more than 400 ships, the first time, the imperial court did not allow it, and the second year again asked for it, and the household department approved, and as a result, the ships built by the imperial court vigorously fell into the hands of merchants at a low price.
Some people in later generations think that almost every big businessman in the Ming Dynasty should be wiped out, in fact, there is a certain amount of truth, at this time, most of the businessmen are lying on the body of the Ming Dynasty to suck blood, up and down their hands, and all they earn is the silver of the imperial court.
Contempt is contempt, however, this Zhong guerrilla is still a very reliable one of the military attaches that the obedient official has seen so far, at least, people can report the information of the ship to you in one breath, how many cannons, how many small cannons, how many muskets, how many waist knives, it is conceivable that this kind of military guard that is already erosive in Zhejiang is really a first-class famous general and brave general, no wonder in just a few years, from a bandit to a guerrilla general of the fifth grade.
Therefore, it is still necessary to boast about it, so the obedient officer raised his thumb and said: "It's the younger brother who is negligent, the elder brother has a good ability, and he will come in detail when he opens his mouth in the army, and he is really a first-class famous general." ”
Zhongli was praised by the good official, and he grinned, "Brother is a martial artist, I don't deserve your praise from my brother, come on, let's go into the cabin and drink two cups, it is estimated that we will go to the island after two drinks." ”
The obedient official frowned, drank again, and was pulled by him, helpless, but after getting drunk, he took two sips, in the words of the old drunkard, it is sobering soup, one to increase the amount of alcohol, and the other is also to the spleen and stomach.
Sure enough, after a while, people shouted on the boat, and the good official went out to take a look, there was a small island not far away, and then the small sampan was put down on the lucky boat, and the Yan family's family took the small sampan to the island, the good official kept watching, and his heart gradually became cold, the Yan family is actually a big smuggler, what kind of innocence is it! There are even smuggling bases.
At this time, the two clippers of the Yan family gradually came to the sea, about 500 materials, and there were also artillery guns on them, which was equivalent to an armed merchant ship, and then the old housekeeper came to invite Zheng Xiaoxianggong and said that we should take that boat.
The old housekeeper of the Yan family probably guessed what he meant, sitting on his own boat, and then the Dafu boat of the governor of Zhejiang followed, maybe he wanted to take the chestnut in the fire, and after ransom Yan Dazhang, he would snatch back the ship and goods.
The Zhongli Zhong guerrilla rushed to the old butler and said, Zheng Xianggong lives on my ship, and when you arrive in Ryukyu and need Zheng Xianggong, you can come and invite you again.
The old housekeeper of Yan Gan was helpless, looking at the good official, he seemed to be unmoved, knowing that his own strength was a little bit seen by this Zheng Xiaoxianggong, he was afraid that he was the kind of traditional scholar, and he couldn't see the businessman sitting big, and he wanted to get closer to him in the future, and it was estimated that he would ...... It's hard.
"That's it, that's it! I hope that the little minister will see my lord's face......" He didn't finish his words, sighed, and got on the sampan to his own boat.
"I said brother, how do you owe this Yan family's favor, my brother said a word that is not seen, but all maritime businessmen, there is no serious family, when there are people, they are maritime merchants, and when there are no people, wow! He's a pirate. Zhongli had the heart to persuade Zheng Guofan, "Although I haven't dealt with the Yan family once or twice, but, brother, brother, I really treat you as my own brother, listen to my brother's advice, you have your teacher's kind of second-class top jinshi cover, and you have a great future in the future, and you can't deal with such people, so you don't have to insult your reputation." ”
"Isn't Governor Cai also in contact with the Yan family?" The good official said.
Zhong Guerrilla took a sip, his face full of disdain, "Lord Governor is just using them as a night pot, night pot!" Of course, it's good when you use it, but when you don't use it, it's really stinky, so it's better to put it as far away as possible. ”
Hearing this, the obedient official faintly felt that even if Yan Dazhang was rescued this time, the Yan family was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat, so Governor Cai Taicai seemed to have plans to use the Yan family as a substitute for the dead ghost!
