Alexandra laughed, Zhao Lie was a little embarrassed, just now the two made a bet, Alexandra bet that he could run past Zhao Lie in the horse riding circle, Zhao Lie bet that he could win, just kidding, although his riding skills are average, but the loser does not lose the battle, and he can't say anything in front of his favorite woman without a fight, the bet they made is that if Alexandra loses, he will teach Zhao Lie to dance Portuguese dance, and if Zhao Lie loses, he will teach Alexandra a Ming dance.

The result is that in the two-lap three-mile circle race, Zhao Lie lost the battle by a distance of four horse bodies, Alexandra is superb in equestrianism, and his body rises and falls with the pace of the horse, which not only saves horsepower, but also is very rhythmic, Zhao Lie can not help but admire the beauty in the rear, so that General Zhao is intoxicated, Zhao Lie's riding posture does not look at it, that is, he can't fall off the horse, alas, why is the gap so big, Zhao Lie is extremely depressed.

"Agreed, Lord Zhao." Alexandra smiled proudly, giving a slightly exaggerated salute, "When will Lord Zhao fulfill your promise?" The small appearance was extremely perverse, which made Zhao Lie cry and laugh.

Alexandra has rarely had the upper hand all along, and today it is a little difficult for him.

Zhao Lie smiled slyly, looking at the many pairs of eyes that swept around him from time to time,

"Miss Alexandra, you're sure you're learning dance here."

Well, there's weird, Alexandra raised her eyebrows,

"Lord Zhao, I'll let you know when the location arrives."

"It's a pity." Zhao Lie smashed his mouth and muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Alexandra asked inexplicably.

"Nothing, ahem." Zhao Lie's face turned straight, "Miss Alexandra, I officially worship you as a teacher to learn riding." I hope you don't shirk. "My riding skills really need to be practiced hard, this is a life-saving existence on the battlefield, and with Alexandra by her side, this practice has become a pleasure, so why not do it."

"Oh," Alexandra smiled, "Well, Lord Zhao, where is your apprenticeship?" ”

"Ahem, this ......" You are a good master of etiquette. Do I still want to give you tea and apprenticeship, this ......, the face is not good-looking, Zhao Lie is in a dilemma for a while.

"My lord," a guard ran close to greet him, "My lord, Lord Zhao has arrived, and Lord Wan invites you to meet you at the dock." ”

Oh, Zhao Lie, why did Daddy come suddenly.

"You go back to Master Tongbingwan first, and I'll be there right away."

Zhao Lie turned to Alexandra and gritted his teeth: "Zhao Lie will learn from you another day." Now, my father has arrived, and Miss Alexandra is with me. "Make it clear to my father that this is the person I like, so don't dwell on this matter anymore.

Alexandra's skin turned red, but she still bravely straightened her waist, "Okay, I'll go to meet you as a Portuguese envoy." ”

"Miss, is it just as a Portuguese emissary?" Zhao Lie said with a smile.

Alexandra's face turned red, and she urged her horse suddenly, and went ahead without saying a word.

Zhao Lie smiled and followed.

Zhao Haiming looked at Shidao Bay in surprise on the Fushan, a fairly large town has been standing in the harbor, extending from the wharf to the inland, you can't see the end at a glance, look around, the forts built at both ends of the bay, the trestle bridge unloading in the bay, the sailor camp at the end, and the shipyard in the northeast can be seen at a glance.

"It's so lively here." Zhao E stood on tiptoe and said with a smile, her heart as a child, of course, the more lively the better.

"Father, this place was built by the eldest brother and the second brother." Zhao Feng asked in surprise.

"Of course," Zhao Haiming laughed, very pleased. "There used to be only one fishing village here, and now it looks like this, which was built by your eldest brother and second brother."

The Fushan approached the trestle and took the escalator, and Zhao Haiming, Zhao Feng, and Zhao E stepped off the boat surrounded by personal guards.

"Greetings to the Commander." Zhao Lie, Zhao Meng, Wan Ji, Huang Han, Li Hu, Zhao Da and others knelt down at the trestle.

"Get up." Zhao Haiming helped him weakly, and everyone got up one after another.

"Big brother, second brother." Zhao E jumped into Zhao Meng's arms, Zhao Feng was old, and greeted the eldest brother and second brother according to etiquette.

"Father, it's been hard all the way, go back to the house with me to rest first, and my mother has already prepared wine and food." Zhao Lie stepped forward and said.

"Not busy." Zhao Haiming waved his hand slightly and walked forward. The crowd followed.

Zhao Haiming walked into the door of the sailor camp,

"Stop, pass." There were ten soldiers standing at the door, and the chief of them asked.

"Forever." Zhao Lie replied.

The chief stroked his chest with his right hand and saluted, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers moved out of the way.

"Well, it's a bit of a willow camp." Zhao Haiming nodded with satisfaction and entered first. Zhao Lie returned the military salute to Shi Chang. Wan Ji, Huang Han, Tang Xianwen and others are also return gifts.

Zhao Haiming came to the front of the Weiqing docking, and looked up at the round bow and high mainmast of the Weiqing, as well as the lookout platform above.

"Lie'er, this is the red-haired clipper." Zhao Haiming saw several high mainmast rope ladders and sails of the Weiqing from a distance on the Fushan from afar, so he came to watch immediately after getting off the ship, as a veteran sailor, Zhao Haiming was not generally interested in the Xiyi warship.

"Yes, father, this is the largest ship here, with thirty cannons, and the cannon has just been installed, and the power has doubled." The Weiqing was the first Galen warship to install new naval guns, and it was just installed yesterday, converting the original nearly 40 large and small naval guns into 30 guns, mainly heavy guns, and will go to sea for sea trials a while today, to test the center of gravity, the test firing of guns, and the deck load. The other ships were still training under the leadership of the captain, and Zhao Lie had already ordered to train hard, and there could be no more embarrassing scenes where three ships could not stop two enemy ships.

"Oh, look at it." As the general of the Daming Naval Division, Zhao Haiming heard for a long time that the Hongmao gunboats were amazingly powerful, and the Fujian Naval Division dispatched hundreds of warships to repel less than ten Hongmao battleships. Today is the time to see what is going on.

Zhao Haiming, under the leadership of Captain Muñoz of the Weiqing, watched the cabins on the upper deck with great interest, and then went to the artillery deck on the lower deck to see the newly installed guns.

Twenty-five of the original 30-odd long-barreled guns of the Weiqing were removed and replaced with 20 new-type short-barreled naval guns, the caliber of which was increased to enhance the destructive power of the guns, and the old arquebuses on the ship were replaced with new flintlock guns, which can be said to have been replaced.

"Lie'er, this kind of warship is built for artillery battles." Zhao Haiming is not a loss of an old sailor, in a word, a ship with thirty huge cannons is a mobile battery, and if you can't get close, it will be impossible to fight by help.

"Father, my lord is wise, this ship was built to sink the opponent, and now there are more than 100 warships carrying more than 100 guns on the continent where the red hair is located, more than four times the size of this ship." Zhao Lie replied.

"Hiss," Zhao Haiming pulled off a few whiskers. "It's no wonder that the Fujian sailors and the red hairs fought fiercely for many years to repel them, and it is indeed difficult to match. Only fireships can withstand the battle. ”

"Father sees clearly, but there are also few red-haired ships, and if there are smaller warships to resist the fire ships, the victory or defeat is not yet known." Zhao Lie vaguely pointed out that there are few red-haired ships, less than ten, hundreds of ships against ten, and a victory is not a victory, if there are clippers to help fight and resist the fireboats, the Fujian Navy Division will definitely be defeated and lost.

"Lie'er, how powerful is this short-barreled cannon?" Zhao Haiming is very familiar with the long-barreled cannon, but this short-barreled cannon has never been seen.

"Father, this is a new cannon made by my son, and in a mile, a few cannons can severely damage an enemy ship, and the broken planks can kill and injure the enemy ship's personnel even more." Zhao Lie elaborated on the advantages of the short-barreled gun.

"Oh, let's try it." Zhao Haiming was anxious.

"Father, I'm tired all the way, so it's better to go back to the house to rest first, and then it's not too late to try the gun." Zhao Meng, Zhao Lie and others persuaded.

Zhao Haiming was unmoved, as an old sailor, the desire for the cannon of the giant ship to prevail over everything else, he must test the cannon with the ship.

So, Zhao Lie and Tang Xianwen accompanied them, and Zhao Meng, Wan Ji, and Huang Han returned, after all, Shidao still needs someone to be in charge.

ps The protagonist is ready to go, waiting for the opportunity, and the officials will recommend some collections, come on.
