The vastness and magnificence of the sea is difficult to compare, although people always use all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric to rhetoric, eager to express that kind of charm, but unfortunately it can never be perfect, its profundity, its vastness, its mystery, its beauty, its fickleness, its greatness, only to really touch it, feel it, can have a deep experience.

Even different people will have different feelings about it!

Standing on the bow deck, looking at the endless blue from afar, feeling the faint fishy smell in the breeze, Wang Xu was very intoxicated.

"Vomit ......"

An untimely stomach churning sound interrupted his interest.

"Ning'er, you're exaggerating, you've been at sea for several days, why can't you adapt to it?"

Zhang Ning glared at her fiercely, but couldn't say anything, turned around and lay on the edge of the boat and vomited again: "Gross!" Vomit! ”

"Do you think they're all like you? It's a woman. Yan Ming patted Zhang Ning on the back, glanced at him angrily, and then looked at Zhang Ning worriedly. Ning'er, do you want to drink some water and rinse your mouth? ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Ning's face was pale, and he didn't have the strength to say more, and Zhang He next to him was very quick to get a water bag.

"Hey! I have already told you to go back with Wanqing, if you listen to me, where can you suffer these hardships. Wang Xu said with a sigh.

His words immediately attracted angry eyes from the two beauties, and Yan Ming even pouted: "Your conscience is really good, far beyond ordinary people." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows.

Yan Ming blinked: "What else do you mean, that is, you have a very good conscience, otherwise why wouldn't that dog eat anyone." Did I eat yours? ”

"Poof!" Zhang He, who was accompanying him, couldn't hold back. Laughed out loud.

Wang Xu didn't answer. He knew exactly what would happen if he was arguing with a woman.

After a while, Zhang Ning seemed to feel a little more comfortable, and finally relieved himself.

In fact, Wang Xu didn't want to see her tortured like this, but there was no way, no one could help with seasickness, so he could only get used to it slowly on his own. "Ning'er, you better go back to the cabin to rest!"

"Forget it. It's even more uncomfortable to go back, and it's better outside! Zhang Ning shook his head.

"Whatever you want, stay where you are comfortable, see that you have been much better in the past two days than in the previous two days, and if you endure it, you should be able to get used to it."

As soon as Wang Xu's words fell, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded on the deck, and a moment later, he saw a middle-aged man with a dark complexion trotting over. "General Wang, there is an island not far to the southwest, should we go over and stop and rest? Replenish the fresh water supply? ”

This man was the commander of this fleet, and he was a fisherman by the sea in his early years. Later, he followed some caravans to the sea, wandering in the sea all the year round, with very rich experience and fame, so when Yuan Shao ordered people to look for excellent seamen, he stood out and became the commander of the entire fleet. Because of his tanned skin, the seafarers called him Brother Hei.

However, he could only control the seamen, and he had no command over the accompanying guards.

"Yes, you can." Wang Xu nodded and approved of his suggestion.

A smile appeared on Brother Hei's emaciated cheeks: "Then I'll go over and arrange it first, by the way, General!" Just now, the boat behind caught an unknown sea fish, tried it, it tasted good, so I sent some over, I guess it is almost ready now, the general has to come over early to enjoy, it is not delicious when it is cold. ”

"Okay, we'll come back later." Wang Xu said with a smile.

Zhang He watched it go away, and then turned around. "General, this black brother has some martial arts, and he is shrewd and capable, familiar with ship and water affairs, proficient in water warfare, but he is a talent, but it is a pity that there is no real naval army in Hebei, otherwise it can be reused."

In these days of contact, Zhang He obviously has a good impression of that black brother, and these words seem to be just ordinary evaluations, but they hide the meaning of recommending something to Wang Xu, which can be regarded as a gesture of effort and favor.

Wang Xu didn't understand the meaning, and glanced at him with a smile. "Jun Yi has a heart, but this black brother is really good, the Jingzhou Navy needs an experienced talent like him, if he is willing to go to Jingzhou with me, then it will be no problem."

As he spoke, he saw that Zhang Ning's face was already much better in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help laughing at the moment: "Don't talk about this, let's go, go taste the unknown sea fish." ”

These days, a few people have tasted all the seafood, those seafarers will use some local methods to fish in the sea when they have nothing to do, although many of them don't know their names, but they have a wealth of experience, they can distinguish which ones can be eaten and which ones can't be eaten, and whenever they get something good, they will send some to Wang Xu's flagship.

When enjoying it, Wang Xu specially called Brother Hei and asked him to eat together, which made Brother Hei a little surprised and looked very nervous.

Although he is nominally the commander of this fleet, he is actually just a steward, responsible for the navigation of the ships, or temporary, to put it bluntly, he is a servant hired by the Yuan family, in his eyes, Wang Xu, Zhang He and others are the people who look up to them, and of course they will be nervous.

Everyone saw it, but they didn't say anything, and Wang Xu didn't rush to say anything, just talked about the taste of some sea fish.

It wasn't until several people had eaten about the same thing, leaving only Zhang Ning and Yan Ming, two greedy beauties, who were still gobbling up, that he smiled slightly and put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Brother Hei, I heard that the seafarers all called you that, but I still don't know what your name is?" ”

Because Wang Xu and Zhang He were very easy-going, Brother Hei at this time was already much more relaxed, smiled slightly, and showed a mouth full of white teeth like snow: "General Hui, my name is Fan Tong!" ”

"Poof!" Zhang Ning and Yan Ming squirted violently, but fortunately they reacted quickly and turned their heads away in time, otherwise the table full of food would definitely be wasted.

"Ahem...... Ahem...... You...... You ......" Yan Ming was choked and kept coughing. "What do you say your name is? Eater? ”

"Huh!" Fan Tong scratched his head in embarrassment. "Madam, my name is Fan Tong, this name is indeed a bit strange, but it is Fan surnamed Fan, the commander of the commander."

"Hahaha......" Wang Xu couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud.

Even Zhang He, although he didn't laugh, his face was obviously a little twitching, and he obviously endured it hard.

"Hehe, is your name chosen by your parents?" Wang Xu smiled a little helplessly.

"Yes, my contemptible parents don't know a few words, and I heard that it was better to unify the characters, so I took it like this." Fan Tong's face was a little red.

"Le me, kill me!" Yan Ming covered his stomach exaggeratedly and laughed wildly.

Zhang Ning was no better, but she didn't say anything, and the two girls were happy.

Seeing that Fan Tong's expression was getting more and more embarrassed, and his dark face flushed, Wang Xu couldn't help but glance at the two women. "Okay, okay, it's just a name, is it that funny?"

As he spoke, he didn't care about the two girls, and looked at Fan Tong gently: "That, rice bucket!" Ay...... Forget it, it's a bit awkward not to call you by name! ”

"General, it's okay, I've been used to it for a long time!" Fan Tong waved his hand honestly.

"That rice bucket, do you have words?" Wang Xu asked hesitantly.

"No, where is there any name for a poor family like us!" Fan Tong shook his head.

Wang Xu thought for a while and said with a smile: "In this way, General Ben will get one for you, and it will be convenient for everyone to call you." ”

"General? You ......" Fan Tong looked over in astonishment.

The name is given by the parents, in this era of attaching importance to etiquette, it cannot be changed indiscriminately, as for the word, there is no limit, but if the people in the countryside take one for themselves, who will care what your word is.

In this hierarchical society, the character itself is a manifestation of identity and status.

However, Wang Xu gave it to him, it was completely different, as the top-level storage zài today, this is called giving words, that is to say, in the future, Fan Tong can play his signboard at any time, saying what his words are, others will respect them, and the class status will be improved.

It's like giving a surname, even if it has no substantive meaning, but it represents a step up the hierarchy in class society.

"So be it! I think it's called the Navy, okay? ”

"Fan Haijun ......" Fan Tong muttered silently, although the name was also a little strange, he still quickly said happily: "Thank you for the word!" ”

"Yes! This word was taken by this general, and if anyone insults it in the future, it will insult me! Wang Xu said lightly.

"Thank you, General!" Fan Tong's expression was excited, full of gratitude.

Wang Xu waved his hand, unwilling to say more about it, and asked instead: "Navy, are your parents and relatives okay now?" ”

Hearing this, Fan Tong's expression was gloomy, and he shook his head bitterly: "If the parents are still there, how can the contemptible people still wander the sea all the year round, they have been dead for many years, and when the Yellow Turban was in chaos, they were killed by the Yellow Turban thieves who robbed the grain, although there are still a few relatives alive, but they have not moved for many years." ”

"Hey!" Wang Xu sighed, understanding the pain of the people in this war-torn era. "Do you have a family?"

"It's not a family, but there is a woman who gave birth to a son for the despicable." Fan Tong was obviously accustomed to the pain of the troubled times, and quickly adjusted his mood, and his face was still a little happy when he talked about his son.

"Oh? Is it still in Hebei today? Wang Xu frowned.

"Nope!" Fan Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "They are not in Hebei, on an island in the southeast, there are several villages there, because they are far overseas, so there is no war, and life is not bad. ”

Zhang He smiled, took it and said, "You are smart enough to send them to such a worldly place." ”

"General Zhang, it's not intentional, but helpless!" Fan Tong shook his head and explained: "Actually, my woman is not the wife that Ming Media is marrying, she is the spoils of war snatched overseas in the early years, she was originally a Japanese woman, if she is brought back to the hometown of the contemptible people, and the contemptible people are away all the year round, I am afraid it will not be so safe!" ”

"Widows?" Wang Xu was stunned. "You've fought against the Watars?"

"Not only have I been fighting, but the contemptible people have also landed on the territory of the Yamatai Kingdom, and have been circling there with the brothers for two or three years."

"Oh?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows, becoming more and more interested in this fan.

"Tell me, General Ben is also very interested in that Yamatai Kingdom!"
