Chapter 361: Seeing Eun Gong
The relationship between Fang Kewei and Zheng Sen is very close.
There is a clear difference between the speed of a steam ship and the speed of a traditional ship, the biggest difference is in power, the power of a traditional ship relies on sails and oars, and the fastest speed of the ship can reach more than ten knots in the case of downwind, and the speed can reach twelve knots if it is paddling at the same time, but in most cases the speed of the sail is only seven or eight knots.
This speed was indeed good in ancient times, but the appearance of steamships brought too much shock to the ship field of this era, and all ships to be equipped with steam engines basically did not have to wait for the monsoon to come.
The biggest difference between the two is speed and comfort, the ship balance system with modern ship anti-jolt design can ensure the stability of the ship during the driving process to the greatest extent, so that people sitting in the cabin can not feel too much turbulence.
This design is a very big invention, if not a very big invention, for someone who does not sit on a boat for a long time.
"Brother Ming, the ship is about to dock at the Australian overseas consulate for supply unloading, and the ship will leave at noon tomorrow, we might as well go ashore to take a look, I heard that this Malacca is an Australian overseas consulate compared to the local is definitely not worse than the mainland." Fang Kewei came from the deck and sent an invitation to Zheng Sen, and he had already asked the crew about the specific departure time.
"Hehe, Brother Expedition, this Malacca is occupied by the Hongmaoyi people, and it was only recently placed under the jurisdiction of Australia, so if you want to see the prosperous scene of Australia here, I am afraid you will not see much, and the exotic customs will not be less."
Zheng Sen, who was more well-informed, naturally knew the origin of Malacca, so he patiently explained to the other party at this time.
In this way, it seems that Brother Ming Yan does know more than me, and exotic customs are also rare blessings.
Well, indeed, but I want to visit an old friend of my mentor, and I don't know if the expeditionary brother can accompany me.
"Brother Ming is an old friend here." Fang Ke was surprised, but thinking of the other party's dress and wide range of friends must be indispensable.
"Well, an old Australian friend, I only came here from Hong Kong not long ago, don't hide it from my expeditionary brother, I was able to enter Australia to study this time, it was because of the recommendation of this old friend."
"Oh, that's the case, I should visit, I'll accompany Brother Ming."
Ships docked. The two went ashore, and after some inquiry, they learned that the garrison of the first Australian company was not in the city, but in the west of the city.
It was very busy outside the camp, and groups of soldiers with loaded guns were escorting the bound natives towards a fence made of tree branches. There were also a lot of crying and scolding voices in the team.
"Hurry up, hurry away, damn it, if it weren't for you. I'm sure I'll be able to go to the city for a nice meal today. ”
Not far away, an officer's complaint came, and this unique complaint and voice made Zheng Sen excited, and he shouted from afar: "Instructor Yu." to the instructor. ”
Yu Shan turned his head and looked left and right, and finally saw two Confucian young men walking in the direction of the city.
Zheng Sen, it's you. Why are you here, you also came to serve in Malacca, Oh, no, you went to the Manchester City Army Non-commissioned Officer School to study, I really envy you, you can go to Australia, unlike us, we have to face these damn natives every day.
Before Yu Shan could speak, a lot of complaints were thrown out, which surprised Fang Fang on the side, but Zheng Sen was used to it and smiled.
"Chief He, what about Instructor Hema, what are you doing here, are these prisoners, how do they look like civilians."
"Civilians, Zheng Sen, let me tell you, don't underestimate these guys, they are definitely more dangerous than civilians, I saw that thin little monkey over there, no, it was him the day before yesterday, he used a bamboo gun to bloom Xiao Lizi's buttocks, and he is still lying on the bed."
Yu Shan said that Zheng Sen, the little plum, knew him, and he was also an instructor in the Guangzhou teaching team at the beginning, and the two met.
Seeing these natives like civilians being handcuffed with iron chains, punched and kicked, Fang Fang said angrily for some uncontrollable eyes: "Australia is the inheritance of the former Song Dynasty, I didn't expect the sergeants to be so ignorant of etiquette and so harsh on the defeated people. ”
"Hehe, I said where did you come from, these people are not as simple as you think, they burn, kill and loot, do everything, when they attack my Malacca clan, they don't distinguish between old and young, we are already very good to him like this, if you don't believe it, you can go to the city and ask them about their crimes."
Yu Shan was angry with this kid who suddenly came out, he had lost a lot of soldiers in the hands of these natives in the war these days, and now he was naturally angry when he heard someone come to explain it for them.
"Zheng Sen, I'll take you to see the chief."
He Yu was reading the letter in the war room at this time, this was sent from Kalimantan not far away, and the island was in a good form, but because the territory was getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Junbo wanted to transfer the Blackwater soldiers from Malacca there, hoping to get He Yu's consent.
"The current war in Malacca is nearing its end, and there is really no need for so many people, so you can go to Kalimantan," He Yu put down the letter in his hand and said to several officers in Blackwater.
"Report, sir, Zheng Sen is here." Yu Shan stood outside the door and reported loudly, and directly said who he was bringing with him.
"Come in," He Yu replied to the door in the combat command room.
"Engong, it's you," Fang Kewei saw He Yu as soon as he came in, and knelt down directly, so that he was stunned for the protagonist Zheng Sen.
He Yu saw the person who came, and remembered that this person was the one he saved in the refugee camp half a year ago, and saw that he had some talent in arithmetic, so he told him that he was willing to go to Australia to study in the question, and if he was willing, he could directly take his letter and board the ship to Australia.
So it seems that he boarded the ship with his letter.
"Okay, get up quickly, you have to change the bad habit of kneeling when you meet, this is not good, Australia is not happy to bow down, although I know your intentions, but next time it can't be like this." He pretended to blame.
"Engong is like recreating parents, there is an invincible gift when you meet, as long as you still see Engong, you will bow down on the expedition." Fang Kewei was afraid that his mind would not be able to turn around, He Yu shook his head and didn't say anything, anyway, the chance of meeting in the future was very small, but he looked at Zheng Sen, and saw that the flickering expression on his face seemed to have words to ask.
