Four-two-eight fast sailboat

In the middle of December of 1632, according to the Ming calendar, it was at the beginning of November of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Qian Qianyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the ambassador of Fufu, arrived in Dengzhou by boat and anchored in the port in Shuicheng.

When the two fast schooners named "Baiju" and "Feiyan" respectively anchored and anchored on the edge of the Shuicheng Wharf, Qian Qianyi got off one of them with a tired face, and looked around in disbelief at first, until he saw Penglai Pavilion, the landmark building of Dengzhou Mansion next to him, and then his face was suddenly expression:

"It's really in Shandong...... So fast."

"Oh, Brother Shouzhi, it's really you"

"Sure enough, Lord Qian has arrived, a distinguished guest"

Qian Qianyi was still in a daze, and on the dock, a group of civil and military officials dressed in official robes also hurried over, and when they met, they were greeted by a cold greeting -- with the hot spot of his old money, all the local civil and military officials rushed to greet him as long as they got the news. And Qian Qianyi is naturally also good at dancing with long sleeves, and he came over one by one. In the meantime, I can't help but ask about the itinerary. As soon as he mentioned this, Ambassador Qian was embarrassed, and said that he didn't expect it - what didn't he expect? I didn't expect to be back so soon

-- A few days ago, the report of the Shandong War was transmitted back to Hainan, and soon to the Philippines, and Lao Qian, who was still enjoying the mangoes, bananas, jackfruits, and mangoes, immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately found Professor Li and said that he wanted to return to the DPRK as soon as possible.

Professor Li asked him how long he planned to go back, and the answer he received was that the sooner the better—Qian Qianyi knew very well that the war in Shandong was over so soon, and the court would definitely be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Although he will definitely not be able to run away from this strategic skill, if he is not present, I am afraid that he will not be able to reap any benefits - Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren's gang are not good stubble, and when the time comes, it will be called wronged if they are given a false name and title.

Of course, there are his Donglin colleagues in the capital, who can help drag it first. But this kind of thing can't wait for him for a long time, and it will definitely be yellow after a long time. So Lao Qian was so anxious at that time that he even complained that the short-haired army was too fast and too efficient.

At that time, the old professor smiled and comforted him and said that there was no need to worry, would it be too late to rush back within a month? OK? That's no problem - we'll send you to Tianjin in 20 days, and the remaining 10 days will be enough.

So a telegram was sent back to Hainan Island, informing the shipyard to sail the two newly built schooners to Manila. It happened that these two ships were also going to go on a long-distance trial, so they formed a fleet to send Ambassador Qian back to Beijing.

Luzon is about 4,000 kilometers away from Shandong, equivalent to more than 2,100 nautical miles, and it only takes six or seven days to complete the voyage of an average of 15 knots on the ocean surface by a schooner. Of course, in the actual voyage, it must be affected by various factors such as wind direction, ocean currents, and getting lost and taking an unjust road, and the time spent will be greatly increased, but even this is a concept that is greatly out of the minds of ordinary people in this era.

Zhu Dadian and the others heard the date they came out from Qian Qianyi, and then compared it with the current date, their eyes were straight at that time. But Lao Qian could not have lied, nor could he have mistaken the day—he was accompanied by the eunuch Cao and a number of members of the Luzon Business Association, so many of whom said in unison that they had never been on such a fast ship—you must know that they also stopped on the island of Taiwan for a while, replenishing fresh water and food, and then went straight to Shandong.

So a large group of people came to the dock of Shuicheng like a monster to watch the two-class clipper. Compared to the crowded city when the Qiong Navy first arrived, the Dengzhou Water City is now much more empty - all the captured ships have been privately divided between Shorthair and the Zheng family. Even the remaining ones, which were too small and dilapidated to sail for long voyages, were rented or sold, and distributed to local fishermen and merchants. Once there is a master, it is naturally impossible to leave these ships empty in vain, and they all sail out to make a living.

Therefore, these two schooners are parked alone on the pier as eye-catching as cranes entering a flock of chickens, the people of the Ming Dynasty do not understand what streamlined modeling is, but they can also appreciate the slender size of these two ships and the great advantages brought by the curved ship on the voyage.

"I don't know what it's like at sea."

A group of people muttered and commented that if it was an ordinary dock sentry who would not approach at all, it was a pity that all of them had a background, and even if their short-haired chief was next to him at the moment, it was not good to stop them too much, so they could only stand there with their noses pinched and let these people look around at the Western scenery - it was really a Western scene: not to mention that the schooners were similar in shape to the European sailing ships of this era, and the head of the fleet this time was still a foreign big nose.

…………

"Hi Rhubarb, Andrew, welcome to Big 6."

The officials of the Ming Dynasty ran to greet Lao Qian, and the people who crossed the crowd were also entertaining their own men. The captains of the two clippers, the White Pony and the Swift, were Andrew and Huang Xing, who were also the two most familiar with this type of schooner in the Navy. The main reason for personally leading the team out is to further familiarize themselves with the performance of this kind of fast sailing boat, and to provide more basis for improvement on Wang Ruobin's side - now Boss Wang is addicted to playing sailboats, and has drawn a lot of new patterns, in addition to the traditional style, there are also some freaks such as catamalas, pontoons, etc., but the ones that really enter the shipyard and are built are still ordinary for the time being-before the clipper fleet of the Qiong Navy is enough to meet the needs, The committee did not agree with him to divert the human and material resources of the shipyard to realize the strange things that had not appeared in history. As for when the fleet will be able to meet the needs, only God knows.

"It's just the two of you, didn't the old man come over?"

Xie Xi and the others thought that Professor Li would come in person, after all, judging from the tone of his last telegram, the old man's desire to return to Beijing was very strong. However, according to Huang Xing, Professor Li did hesitate for a long time, but finally gave up this plan - the old man, as the brain figure of the Qiong Navy, even if it was only in name, if he took the initiative to go to Beijing City, it was difficult to explain what new ideas the court and ministers would come up with, especially at the moment, when they were salivating over the technical weapons of the Qiong Navy.

"So the old man won't come, and he also asked me to tell you: If anyone from your side wants to go to Beijing to open their eyes, it's best to be careful, try to bring as many people as possible, and don't go with you."

Xie Xi, Pang Yu, Beiwei, Ao Sayan and others, as the main persons in charge of the Dengzhou counterinsurgency, are estimated to be summoned by the Ming Emperor, but Lao Xie has discussed them many times, and the team has already reached a conclusion on this:

"We won't go, just let Chen Tao be the plenipotentiary."

Going to Beijing in the 17th century to play, many people want to, but if you want to risk being beheaded, then there is no need - although they accepted the Ming Dynasty's recruitment, except for a few people such as Chen Tao, most of the people in the people actually never trusted Chongzhen and his group of ministers who had been stupid in history. They don't want to put their safety on those people.

Huang Xing actually felt the same way, but he was still responsible for sending Chen Tao, Ambassador Qian and others to Beijing. In this way, Wen Desi was relieved, and the Second Fleet did not have to make a special trip to Tianjin.

Pang Yu and the others were very happy about this--so that they could use the capacity of the Second Fleet to send another batch of laborers back to the south, which had already been sent back several batches under the organization of Ling Ning, Zheng Zhihu and others. The Zheng family's boat pulls people directly to Taiwan, and the short-haired boat sails to Hainan Island...... Although the two sides agreed on the distribution ratio in advance, in fact, because there were so many people waiting to be transported on the seashore at present, basically whoever arrived first could just fill it with people and leave--they had to pull as many people as possible before the governor of Shandong and the court officials came to their senses, lest the gang would regret it when they arrived.

Ling Ning's first fleet consisted of three Western galleons, plus a number of large-tonnage fortune ships, which were distributed to the majority of the captured ships after seizing the Dengzhou Mansion, and it stands to reason that they should have an absolute advantage in this competition. It's just that when this labor war really began, the Zheng family's strong ability surprised everyone - they didn't know where to find countless small boats that could not go to sea at all, and they kept pulling people to the south day and night close to the coastline, it is said that they went all the way to Zhangzhou, the Zheng family's nest in Xiamen, and then stayed and waited for the big ships to be slowly transported to the other side of the Taiwan Strait......

In this way, their transportation capacity is very terrifying, although the passenger capacity of each boat is not large, but it can't stand the large number of Pang Yu and others here every day watching the Zheng family's boat like ants and constantly rowing and pulling people away, and their hearts are inevitably depressed - is it possible that the situation we have worked so hard to open up is going to let the Zheng family take advantage of it? If it weren't for the fact that the immigrants who were pulled to Taiwan Island also had their share, the Xie side couldn't help but want to refuse the Zheng family's fleet to load people again.

At present, although the second fleet of Wen Deji is much smaller than the first fleet, it is also a regular Daifuku ship, and if it is slightly loaded, it will not be a problem to carry 1,800 people. As for food and fresh water, what can be replenished by stopping at the shore along the way - the Qiong Navy is also learning from the Zheng family now.

So only one day later, two fleets were dispatched from Shuicheng in Dengzhou Prefecture - Wen Desi's second fleet was fully loaded to the west, bypassing the Shandong Peninsula and heading south. The small formation of only two fast sailing ships was heading towards the northern port of Tianjin. The curious sailors in the capital finally saw the sailboat sail on the sea—like two flying fish gliding on the surface of the water when the sails were fully opened.

When the "White Horse" and "Feiyan" left the port, they happened to meet the return of the Ming Dynasty's patrol fleet -- after recovering Dengzhou, the Ming army managed to get a few boats, and from time to time they patrolled the nearby waters, which was regarded as the meaning of rebuilding the Dengzhou Naval Division. On that day, there happened to be several patrol boats circling around the sea off Dengzhou and returning home, and the identities of these two boats were not known. I saw two big white sailing boats rushing straight towards the heart of Tianjin, and just as they were blocking the channel again, they wanted to stop and interrogate.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the kung fu people swept in front of those bright boats, and when the sailors on the ship reacted, they could only see the butt of the ship in the distance......
