"Reported, I faintly heard a shout, very faint. I also saw a little bit of light, only a few flickering. ”

On the big ship, the person in charge of observing the mast passed the news, and then someone reported it to the captain's room.

The captain turned out to be a woman, a woman from Jeju Island, a woman of the Jeyi tribe. One of the best boat operators in the clan can smell the storm from the sea breeze, and can sense whether there will be fish from a bucket of water caught in the sea.

As a foreigner, and a woman, she defeated hundreds of competitors and became the captain of a sea ship.

Although it is only 500 tons of tonnage, it is already the pride of the whole family.

The ship was named the Tempest.

After receiving an order from Huating, he went upstream, which was the fastest one, and half of the shipwrights were women of the Jiyi tribe. There are also 10 women and 5 female boatmen.

This one is not a battleship, there are only four guns, and the one who operates the guns is also a woman of the Jiyi tribe.

Of the thirty shipwrights and half combatants, ten were Goguryeo female warriors.

On this boat, there are only two Datang people.

One was the co-captain and the other was in charge of the telegraph.

Hearing the report of the people below, the captain named Su Sango nodded: "Whether it is or not, drive over and take a look, and order to prepare a small boat." The boat is moored, and you must not dare to leave the ship. After Captain Su finished speaking in half-familiar Chinese, he gave another command in the Jeju dialect, for fear that the order would not be clear.

The subordinate gave the order.

The co-captain, who was sitting in front of the map and drawing the coordinates, slowly raised his head.

"Three years ago, Luoyang was flooded. I never thought someone would come to my rescue. When a sergeant dragged me out of the mud, I was even more scared. Do you know what I did? ”

Su Sancoral didn't understand, just shook his head, what were you going to do at that time?

"I put mud on my face, I'm afraid that sergeant will hurt me!"

"Ah, let him come, he's handsome!"

Su Shan said this very seriously, and the deputy captain's smile was almost bad, it was really a different custom. However, Su Shan had already learned etiquette in Datang, and said with a smile at the moment: "I know the Tao." In the Tang Dynasty, the woman is very precious. ”

"Yes!" The co-captain nodded.

The man who had just gone out to report the news came in again: "It seems that there is someone." Slowing down. ”

"If you have it, you have to check it out."

A boat, with a total of three captains, is divided into captains. First Officer. Second Officer. Then there were the boatswain, the stormtroopers, the stokers, the gunners, the chief medics, the telegraph chiefs, the chefs, and the logistics chiefs. The second mate was sleeping at this time. It was a few hours before it was her turn to change shifts, six hours per person, but they were on cross-duty. There are always two captains in charge of the boat.

A ship of 500 tons was too small for future generations.

But for Datang, it is already a very big ship.

There are many people on board, but even if there are twice as many people, the income of the ship is enough to feed these people, not to mention that the current ship is all overnumbered, in order to train shipwrights for future ships.

Putting on a special raincoat, the captain and co-captain went to the deck.

Su Sango glanced at it with a telescope, and then handed it to the deputy captain. The deputy captain also looked at it: "The wind and rain are too big to see clearly." It's like a torch, but even if it's a ghost fire, you have to go and see it. Use that lamp to give them hope. At this time, I am afraid that my heart can no longer support it. ”

"You give the order, I'll only sail!" Su Coral shouted loudly.

In the wind and rain, even if you stand in front of you with a small voice, you may not be able to hear it.

"Order, the kitchen prepares hot porridge. Ten rooms are prepared for use in the lower warehouse, dry towels are prepared, and the chief medical officer prepares. The Stormtrooper distributes weapons, everyone is on duty, and all break room doors are closed. No need to get up without an order. ”

Su Shan understood the order to take turns to rest, after all, he didn't know how long Lu Dao would be busy. The rest understood, but they didn't know why Lu Dao asked the stormtrooper to issue weapons, and they weren't bandits.

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. What if there are wicked people who are saved, or if there are people who do not listen to orders? Or, just a jerk. Our boat is full of daughters' homes, and we can't tolerate those troubles. ”

Su Shan nodded, and said in his heart that this captain was careful, and immediately followed an order, and everyone hung the short knife on their leg bags. If you want to fight, it is natural that everyone is on it, and it is the people in the same boat.

"Turn on the lights!"

This lamp can't be turned on casually, the lamp is a strong light made by Datang. It is plated with sterling silver on the glass to play the role of concentrating light. What's more, this headlight alone consumes almost half of the power of a steam engine, and when the light is turned on, one of the two steam engines basically serves this lamp. In addition, when rescuing people, most of the lights in the inner warehouse of the whole ship were turned on, and a steam engine was completely occupied.

The villagers in despair only saw a few very faint bright spots in the distance, and then a pillar of light.

Suddenly, just as the sun jumped out of the ground, a dazzling ball of light appeared, and then a dazzling pillar of light shot at them, and almost everyone subconsciously blocked it with their hands.

After the bright spotlight shone on, the people on the mast also shouted: "There are people, almost a hundred and ten people." ”

"Slow down, watch out for the bottom of the boat." The first mate commanded loudly.

Since you can see that it is a village, if there is something relatively high in the village, it happens to be a hard object that has just been submerged by water, even if it is a wooden stake, it is extremely dangerous to touch the bottom of the boat.

Datang's 500-ton ship has a deadweight of 500 tons, not a displacement of 500 tons.

According to the calculation of Datang, the length is seventeen zhang five. That is, more than fifty meters in modern times. Compared with the European Spanish galleons with a displacement of 500 tons in the early days, it is similar to the Spanish galleons with a displacement of 1,000 tons in the later period, but because there are no sails, the weight is used on the hull.

Such a large wooden ship, with a draft of almost one meter, is used as a sea vessel, and there is no collision proof at the bottom of the ship, so the captain is extra careful if their boat breaks down here. I'm afraid that if I go back, I will be laughed to death by other ships.

"Round the obvious tree, and stop the boat a hundred paces away."

There must be trees in the village, and it is not strange that such a flood will break the trees, and if the broken trees are at the bottom of the boat, they will not need to save people, but they will need to call for help.

A hundred paces, even at night, you can see clearly, the strong light has been turned off, only the ordinary light is still on.

Anchor was lowered, and then four small boats were lowered.

When you see the boater. When all the people on the ship were women. The people in the village were stunned.

"Save people, there are people who are going to live quickly." An old woman shouted.

At that moment, a few young men jumped into the water, took the rope from the boat and tied it to the beams of the house. The boat has a steel ring, and it's in the middle of the rope. Another long rope is used to pull the boat. Several men carried the wounded and several pregnant women onto the boat. The boat began to pull the rope.

All the young men in the village were gathered together. Pull the other end of the rope, ready to pull the boat back at any moment.

Four boats, after several round-trips. The young men with the strength did not get on the boat, but just pulled the rope and swam towards the big boat.

There are lights on the ship, when you enter the cabin and see the female soldier wearing the Datang military uniform, whether the soldier in front of you is male or female, this military uniform makes people feel a burst of warmth, many young people who have just been full of strength are sitting on the ground of the passage, and they don't even have the strength to wipe their faces with towels.

Do prayers work?

If someone is answering this prayer, then the prayer is useful.

After the catastrophe, all the strength seemed to be drained, there was no wind and rain, no more cold, and it was still very bright. The hunger pangs are still there, and there is even a sense of inauthenticity.

"Stand up!" After a coquettish drink, a female general dressed in an officer's uniform pointed at the person sitting on the ground with a short knife with a sheath: "Young one, help the older one up, and everyone go to the room arranged for you." This is a Datang sea vessel, everyone must abide by the rules, and if they do not follow the rules, it will affect the safety of others. ”

"I, I'm ......," the young man wanted to say, but he was a little afraid to say anything when he was pointed at by the hilt of the knife.

"Come into the room, your woman is fine. The ship's medical officer was using a needle. Then he put a box in the young man's hand: "Go and give three pills to each person, and after swallowing it, prepare to drink the porridge." Take care of your strength, and next time you save someone, let's go together! ”

It was the tone of the command, a female lieutenant giving orders to a group of big men.

She was also scared and nervous. No woman has ever dared to yell at a man, and no woman has ever given orders to a man. So her voice was raised a lot, and she tried to be as powerful as she could.

Male, or female. At this time, there are only the sufferers, and the rescuers.

After drinking too much, a few young people who were in good health marked the map in the captain's room, analyzing how many villages there were around, and it was possible that the village could still be saved, and the big boat in that village would definitely not be able to pass. But it shouldn't be too dangerous, just need detailed information such as food.

As for these people to send them there, the captain didn't pay attention, this Dongting Lake is full of water, and the lake is almost forty percent larger than before. There are docks that are also flooded. Only take one step at a time, and when you reach the limit, turn around and go back to Huating.

During the night, two more villagers were saved. No one cried, and no one complained. The people in the village behind saw that the men were also listening to the orders of the women wearing the Tang Dynasty military uniforms, and they were also obedient.

Afterwards, someone asked these people why they should listen to women. Many people replied: What they saw in their eyes was not a woman, but only the military uniform of the Tang Dynasty and the badge of the Tang Army.

Because when I saw the military uniform, the military emblem, and the army of the Tang Dynasty. There is an indescribable sense of security in my heart, as if the military uniform can block the flood of the sky. If there is a metaphor, then the military uniform is the idol of the god offered at home. Prayers can be heard!

It's dawn...... A loud cry of a baby came from the cabin, causing the busy people to stop what they were doing and turn their eyes to the direction where the sound was coming from.

A female sergeant with blood on her hands still sticking to her hands walked to the deck: "Boy, mother and son are safe!" (To be continued......)
