At this time, the ship was about 50 meters from the shore, and then dropped anchor and stopped in the sea. Suddenly, Zhu Houwei and Wu Yiheng found that two small heads were exposed on the side of the Fu boat, and they kept waving to Zhu Houwei. Zhu Houwei looked at it, okay, it turned out to be a little girl.

Before the Fu boat was launched, the little girl had an officer from the land and water battalion to lead the Fu boat. These officers all came out of Zhu's mansion before, and they all knew this young lady. At this time, Wu Yiheng asked someone to drive a small fishing boat, and then took Zhu Houwei, Wu Yiheng and Xiaohuan and a land and water camp, and slowly rowed to the lucky boat.

When they arrived next to the lucky boat, the lucky boat had already lowered the rope ladder, and the little girl was still shouting excitedly, "Second brother, come up." Zhu Houwei looked up at his sister, and without talking, he was the first to climb the rope ladder. climbed to the side of the boat, and someone next to him had already answered and helped Zhu Houwei to get on the boat. Only then did Zhu Houwei see that in addition to the little girl's master and servant, Qingmei and Huang Gonggong were also there.

Gonggong Huang said to Zhu Houwei with an aggrieved face at this time, "Lord, the old slave has persuaded Her Royal Highness the princess, but he can't stop it at all." Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "Don't blame you, there are few people in the world who can persuade her." After speaking, he glared at the little girl. The little girl smiled, not caring at all. Wu Yiheng also boarded the boat at this time and walked to Zhu Houwei's side, and before he could speak, he heard Qingmei shouting there a few times, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhu Houwei hurriedly turned around and looked at Xiaohuan. I saw that Xiaohuan climbed halfway, didn't move, and his face was pale. The gentlemen of the land and water camps below are not easy to help her, after all, men and women are not kissed. Zhu Houwei understood at a glance that Xiaohuan was afraid of heights, and now the boarding position is the lowest place for the Fu boat from the water, and it is about 4 meters out of the water. Zhu Houwei had no choice but to say, "Xiaohuan, you climb down slowly and wait for us on the fishing boat." Xiaohuan looked up at Zhu Houwei, and Zhu Houwei realized that the little girl had tears flowing out. It can't climb up, but it's still okay to go down, after all, she has only climbed about 1 meter now. It wasn't until Xiaohuan slowly returned to the fishing boat that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to visit the lucky boat.

Qingmei had already visited most of the time just now, and when she saw her sister's appearance, she said hello to Zhu Houwei and went to the fishing boat to accompany her sister. The shape of the Fukubune is pointed at both ends and low in the middle. There are guards on the side of the ship to protect soldiers and also against waves. The highest part of the whole ship is the stern building, Zhu Houwei climbed up to take a look, about 7 meters out of the water.

The No. 2 Fu Ship has a total of three decks, and if you count the ship's building, it is 4 floors. The captain's room is in the ship's building, and there is a small single bed in addition to a table. There is no way, the ship is not big, and the space is not enough. At this time, there were no quilts or other materials in the ship, but they would be delivered by Cangshan ship soon, and they could sail at that time.

Then, several people visited the sailors' room, the material warehouse, and the weapons warehouse, and it was an hour after the whole ship was visited. The supplies needed for the voyage are also slowly delivered to the ship and then placed inside the ship.

Zhu Houwei and the others walked to the side of the boat, ready to return to the fishing boat. Suddenly, the ship's lookout shouted, "There are two sand boats to the southeast, heading for the newly built pier." The captain asked in a loud voice, "Under what flag?" The lookout replied, "It's too far to see." ”

There are two telescopes on the ship, one on the lookout and one on the captain. At present, there are a total of 80 sailors and 24 sailors on the Fu ship, as well as Zhu Houwei and his party. Wu Yiheng was about to escort Zhu Houwei to board the fishing boat and then return to the shore, but just as he was about to speak, the lookout shouted again, "Captain, I see, it's my Ming Golden Dragon Flag, as for the words, I still haven't read clearly." Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and all the sailors with weapons couldn't help but relax.

The sailors here are fishermen recruited from Tianjin Wei, and their training has only been more than half a year now. There are not many people in the camp in the capital, because they are all landlubbers, and they get seasick as soon as they get on the boat. Of course, they are currently being trained, even if they can't be purebred sailors, at least they don't get dizzy by boat, and they can become marines, after all, to transport supplies and personnel, the sea route is the best choice.

Wu Yiheng shouted, "I've got the weapons for me, and I can't relax if I don't determine my identity." In case it is a pirate impersonating a pirate, as soon as he relaxes, the loss will be great, so pull the anchor up first. "This captain is also from the Zhu Mansion, but being the captain of the navy is the first time after all, it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous, and if he is nervous, he will make mistakes.

The anchor was quickly pulled up, and at this time the lookout shouted, "One of our army's Haicang ships and Cangshan ships have come forward to meet them, and there is no fighting, they are our own people." At this time, Zhu Houwei snatched the telescope from the captain's hand and stood at the bow of the ship and saw this scene.

Zhu Houwei said to Wu Yiheng, "After all, it's a recruit, take your time." The navy is not something that can be trained in a short time, if you want to have a short time, then you can only sail and fight. Wu Yiheng nodded, knowing that the performance of the recruits this time was not satisfactory.

The group got into the fishing boat and returned to shore. The Fu boat will sail to the pier first, and if it is confirmed that it is okay, it will go directly to Dengzhou to complete the training goal.

When they got to the shore, the carriage was already ready here, so the people rode to the dock.

On the carriage, the little girl flattened her mouth and said, "Why aren't they wokous, otherwise they won't be able to go back if they come." Zhu Houwei glared at her and said, "People will die in battle, and I don't care how many enemies die, but if there are casualties on our side, it will be distressing." The little girl asked tightly, "Second brother, many people are talking about how powerful the widows are, what invulnerability, extremely ferocious, eight feet tall, is it true?" ”

Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "Who did you listen to, how can the Japanese be so powerful." As long as you are human, you can't be invulnerable, at least you can't touch a musket, and if you're eight feet tall, you're definitely not a wolf. However, the murder is real. As for what it is, I haven't seen it either. ”

The dock was only 5 miles away from the dock, and it was not long in coming. As soon as they got out of the carriage, Zhu Houwei and his party were stunned. As far as the eye could see, it was all people, or refugees, who were descending from the two sand boats in turn, coming to the dock, and then continuing to walk forward.

There were about 1,000 of them, men, women and children. Otherwise, it would not have been transported by two 600-ton sand ships. Zhu Houwei turned his head and asked Wu Yiheng: "Have you gone to recruit workers in other places?" Wu Yiheng was also confused, "No, now those who are in other places are going to Jiangnan, Fujian and other places to recruit shipwrights, but there is no recruitment." ”

At this time, several people from the land and water battalions who came down from the boat, although they were wearing civilian clothes, Zhu Houwei and Wu Yiheng knew each other, and they were also the first batch of students in Zhufu. It is estimated that they saw Zhu Houwei and them on the sand boat, trotted all the way, ran from the side of the refugee team, and arrived at Zhu Houwei's side at once. Immediately knelt down and saluted, "See King Fu." At this time, the little girl walked out from behind Wu Yiheng and coughed twice, which attracted the attention of the three people kneeling on the ground, so she hurriedly said, "See Her Royal Highness the Princess." The little girl was not polite, and asked directly, "Dali, Gouyu, Noble, where did you recruit these refugees, by the way, get up and speak." The three of them were embarrassed for a while, because no one had called this name for a long time, and they were now called Zhu Yuan, Zhang Ben, and Guo Chengzhi. These three are the second batch of Zhu Mansion, Zhu Houwei and the little girl know all three, because Zhu Yuan is still a little related to the two of them, his ancestor is the seventh son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, is a brother. It's a pity that his grandfather's generation has fallen into the middle of the family, and Zhu Yuan has lost his parents. As a descendant of the Zhu family, unless there is someone in the family who has a title, life is very difficult. The imperial court will only issue a small amount of silver grain, which cannot support a few families at all, but the imperial court also stipulates that the descendants of the Zhu family are not allowed to be four people. That is, they can't go out to make a living, farming, being an official, doing business, or working, so they can't say that their lives are miserable.

The three of them stood up, and Zhu Yuan said, "This time I arrived at the Longjiang Shipyard, which has long been deserted, and there is only a village next to it, saying that it is a skilled craftsman recruited from all over the country to make treasure ships back then. Later, the shipyard was abandoned, and by their generation, there were so many people left. The village chief said that most of the men in the village knew some shipbuilding skills, but had never built a ship. The village chief also said that it was okay to let them come to Tianjin, but if the whole village came together, it would not work if there was one less person, so he called two sand boats from the Dengzhou camp to send people over. ”

Zhu Houwei was still thinking, but Wu Yiheng scolded with hatred of iron, "What should the three of you do, let you recruit a few craftsmen, you are good, men, women and children recruit thousands of eight hundred, how can you not have money." ”

Zhu Houwei snorted, "Wu Yiheng, I have been out for more than a year, and my ability has not been very long, but I have learned to play with the careful eye of officialdom." Will I blame them? 1,000 people, even if they don't do anything, Huangzhuang can afford it. Who are you going to show this set for? ”

Wu Yiheng's face was embarrassed for a while, "My second young master, the little one is wrong." I will never do it again in the future" Zhu Houwei's face calmed down at this time, and he turned his head to Zhu Yuan and the three of them and said, "Let you go out to do things, there must be emergencies, and it will be troublesome to report back and forth, this matter is nothing, as long as there are skilled shipwrights among these people, the three of you will be considered to have made a great contribution." Then he turned his head to look at Wu Yiheng and said, "As for you, in the future, you will have less contact with the officials of Tianjin Wei, and you won't learn, hum." With that, he walked towards the camp without looking back. The little girl looked at it in a fog, and originally thought that Zhu Houwei was going to scold Zhu Yuan and the others, but she didn't expect to turn her head and scold Wu Yiheng.

Zhu Houwei was annoyed by her and had no choice but to explain, "The three of them are at most self-proclaimed in this matter, although there are some taboos, but it is not unforgivable, Wu Yiheng listened to it and scolded them, but it did say that they spent a lot of money and food, and he didn't know that Huangzhuang was not short of this money." It's only been more than a year since it came out, and it has been corrupted by officialdom, and it seems that we have to clean up these people well, otherwise good soldiers will become official oils when the time comes. ”

After listening to this, the little girl said depressedly, "Why do you talk so many twists and turns, it's boring." Zhu Houwei shook his head, then smiled again, and whispered, "This kid is quite short-sighted." ”

Zhu Houwei and the others walked in front, and Wu Yiheng and Zhu Yuan followed from a distance of 30 meters. Talking as he walked. Zhu Yuan complained in a low voice, "Brother Wu, why do you still play with these careful thoughts in front of the young master, you don't know that our young master is different from ordinary people, and what conspiracies and tricks have to show their original form in front of his old man." The two people next to him also nodded vigorously. Wu Yiheng was angry, and slapped on the heads of the three of them, "You three bastards, your brother and I are doing this, it's not for the three of you bastards, making your own opinions, which superior will like it, and besides, it's so far away, the second young master can't hear it, what kind of sycophants are you kid." Zhu Yuan and the three of them smiled at Wu Yiheng, and said Chengzhi, "Otherwise, you are our brother, I didn't say it, tonight, the three of us have a treat, good wine and meat can be eaten casually, not bad money." Wu Yiheng slammed Chengzhi and slapped Chengzhi again, "I don't want to accompany the second young master today, which family do you invite, do you still have brains?" Zhu Yuan and Zhang Ben were gloating and smiling beside them, and Wu Yiheng glared at them, but he didn't make a move.

The four of them didn't move much, and Zhu Houwei in front didn't hear it. But the little girl laughed out loud when she saw the small movements of the four people, and then asked, "Second brother, will you beat people at every turn when you become a soldier?" Why are you so happy to be beaten? ”

Zhu Houwei glanced back at them, and the four of them noticed that Zhu Houwei was looking at them, and immediately fought in a good manner, with a smile on his face, very kind. Zhu Houwei turned his head and said to the little girl, "Leave them alone, beating is kissing and scolding, it is love, and if they don't love enough, it is estimated that they will kick with their feet." The little girl usually "reads a lot of books", but now looking at the appearance of the four of them, she immediately shivered, seemed to be disgusted, took two steps forward, and pulled Zhu Houwei's sleeves and walked together. The four of them looked at each other, not knowing why the young lady had this expression.
