After the fleet was replenished and set off from Suzhou, the temperature was obviously warmer, and Xu Yang was finally able to get on the deck and enjoy the vastness of the sea.

Wearing a small jacket with a shoulder, holding a small Tibetan mastiff in his arms as a hand warmer, followed by Baolin and Chu Mo, the wind at sea has become obviously softer, and after crossing the Yangtze River, it marks that the fleet has entered southern China.

The fleet is very large, a whole fleet is like a castle on the sea, this winter to the sea, although the temperature is cold but the weather is excellent, there is no slightest wind and waves, the fleet has maintained a high speed, which can sail to Suzhou in less than two months.

The sails of the fleet covered the sky and the sun, and Xu Yang stood in front of the deck, looking at the sea in the distance, the blue sea, as soft as silk, with slight ripples. Looking from the boat, the smoke is vast and endless, and under the boat, the sea water hits the edge of the boat, and bursts of white foam seem to be like a child whispering softly at his feet.

The sun was shining, and the first mate took many crew members to set up brackets on the deck to dry the bedding.

Closing his eyes, Xu Yang took a hard breath of air, the refreshing and damp sea breeze with the smell of the sea to talk about, blowing the feeling of human hair, cheeks, and every part of the body. It's as seductive as a gorgeous and plump woman, but it suffocates him in the stuffy cabin.

The little Tibetan mastiff in his arms was obviously not adapted to the cold environment outside, and writhed in Xu Yang's arms from time to time, always wanting to drill into the warm chest, but Xu Yang would not go back to the cabin because this little thing was uncomfortable, as if it was easy to encounter warmer weather, and he wanted to enjoy it on the boat.

"Ah~the sea." Xu Yang's sudden voice shook Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Chu, who were standing next to him yawning.

"Big brother won't have hysteria again, will he?" Cheng said silently.

Yu Chi Baolin took a closer look at the bow of the boat. Xu Yang with his eyes closed. nodded very seriously and said, "I think it's possible." ”

Xu Yang ignored the two guys at this time. Just revel in the majesty of the sea.

"Ah~ On the vast sea, the wind is gathering dark clouds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, the petrel flies proudly like black lightning. Somehow, Xu Yang suddenly remembered the article he had learned when he was very young, and couldn't help but recite it.

"Big brother, the sea is obviously calm, how do you say the wind and dark clouds?" Yu Chi Baolin asked in a daze.

Xu was stunned, and suddenly said with some annoyance: "Big brother, this is poetic." Poetic! Got it? ”

Yu Chi Baolin was a little reluctant to speak, and he didn't know why the eldest brother had lost his temper when he said something faint

Maybe it was because Xu Yang's strong wind and dark clouds really appeared, or maybe it was because a song "Haiyan" was heard by Lei Gongdian's mother, and the fleet encountered a violent storm in the afternoon.

This is the first time Xu Yang has encountered stormy weather on the sea.

Two hundred nautical miles away from Suzhou, the fleet first sailed into a dark cloud, and then ushered in a storm and waves, the hazy sky seemed to be pressed down from the sky, and the coercion of heaven and earth only revealed its true face at this time, Xu Yang looked at the dark sky on the deck that changed his face in an instant.

It is said that a woman's face changes faster than a book, and Xu Yang knew for the first time that the weather at sea was more powerful than that of a woman. In the morning, the wind and sun are beautiful, and at noon the sky is full of dark clouds.

"Quickly escort Hou Ye back to the cabin." Liu Qi shouted in the wind and rain. Xu Yang was carried back to the captain's cabin with all hands and feet.

The big waves crashed against the sturdy walls of the ship, and at this time, Xu Yang's previous preparations completely worked.

Many soldiers of the Lingnan Navy Division were very handy in dealing with the storm, and the three young men in green robes on the main ship of the 'Hongyun' sent flags, lowered their sails, and sailed northward.

"Put down the sails, turn on the steam engine, thirty degrees north latitude, and sail out of this sea." Xu Yang received the signal and ordered directly.

The execution of the fleet is very high, dozens of big men ** on their arms, quickly climbed the mast, lowered the sails, Xu Yang was in the captain's room, commanding a naval captain at the helm.

The wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and there seems to be a water curtain connecting the city between heaven and earth, and it is becoming more and more difficult to see the flag on the 'Hongyun'.

"Light the waterproof lights." Xu Yang said calmly, and immediately someone went to the deck to light the lamp, "Play the herald drum." Xu Yang continued.

Immediately, two more sergeants in lieutenant uniforms led the order out, and after a while, several low, strong drums sounded outside.

"Knock, knock, knock" "knock knock" "knock, knock, knock. "The drums were beaten nine times in a row, of varying lengths, and this was the agreed drum of the fleet—sailing according to plan.

Soon, the same drum sound was heard in the distance, but this drum was louder and more magnificent than the sound on Xu Yang's ship, and Xu Yang knew that this was an order from the main ship of the 'Hongyun' that Niu Jinda was riding.

"Is the steam engine already running?" Xu Yang looked around, and several people beside him looked at each other, not knowing which captain was going to carry out the order.

"Is the steam engine already running?" Xu Yang asked again with a stern face.

"General Qiyu, it's already started!" A tall, thin middle-aged man dressed in a miscellaneous costume ran in from outside the door and stood in front of the door panting.

"You're the captain in charge of the steam engine?" Xu Yang thought about it for a long time and didn't remember that he had seen this person.

"The general is not a villain." The tall and thin middle-aged man said with some fear.

"I remember that the person in charge of the steam engine is Captain Chen Xi, where is Captain Chen Xi?" Xu Yang's voice was a little cold.

"Back to the general, Captain Chen Xi drank too much in the Suzhou restaurant yesterday, and he still hasn't gotten up today." The tall and thin young man saw that Xu Yang's face was getting colder and colder, so he had to tell the reason.

Although he had already guessed the result, Xu Yang was still furious and said: "How can this be true, the steam engine is the lifeline of the ship, a captain in charge of the steam engine actually neglected his duties, and he was still hungover in the storm, passed my order, and after sailing out of the sea, he arrested the captain named Chen Xi and returned to the school, cut off the position of captain, and punished him with forty rods!" ”

"No!" Many soldiers replied with their fists clenched.

The waves are getting bigger and bigger, and the hull is shaking more and more violently, but fortunately, the boats made by Xuyang are all tried and tested sea vessels, and there is no danger of capsizing. Cheng Chumo walked over and said to Xu Yang: "Big brother, who should be in charge of the steam engine part now?" ”

Xu Yang's eyes swept over the entire captain's room, and suddenly saw the tall and thin middle-aged man, so he asked him, "What is your name and what position do you hold on the ship?" ”

The tall and thin middle-aged man didn't seem to react, and then he panicked: "The villain's name is Zhang Quandan, and he is a coal shoveler in the second steam engine. ”

"Okay, then now you are in charge of the steam engine department, and go and give him Chen Xi's lieutenant uniform and school badge."

"Huh?" Zhang Quandan pointed at himself in disbelief. (To be continued......)
