Chapter 142: Visiting
Today's first update, ask for collections, ask for recommendations.
——————————————————
Early in the morning, the sun is shining. The rainy weather for several days finally ended, and in the fields, the leaders took advantage of the good weather to step up the harvest of autumn grain. Masarashi rode slowly on the pony while inspecting the autumn harvest along the road, followed by four attendants and cloaks who were also riding ponies. At present, there are a total of seven war horses in the Luo family's territory, these war horses were captured in the raid, and the remaining three were left at the main border of the three territories as emergency communication horses. In addition to these seven war horses, the Luo family also has a small ranch that has been built, which contains dozens of wild horses. A horse trainer who had just been recruited from Hakata was domesticating some of these wild horses into war horses.
Cangshan City was not too far away from Banwu Bay, and it was still very fast to reach the port of the Luo family's navy all the way. As early as last night, Zhengliang received the news that a Ming ship would come to visit Luo's house this morning. So early in the morning, Masara took a few people to the port on horseback to greet him.
Due to the early hour, there were no other ships in the sea of Banwu Bay, except for some Roche Navy ships that were being trained. In his spare time, Masato took a look at his surroundings. Since the Luo family occupied the harbor here, Masato sent people to renovate it, and now you can see that the harbor protrudes from the sea with a row of newly laid wooden piers, and on the land of the harbor, some areas are also laid with cement, and it seems that the real suke in charge of repairing the harbor has spent a lot of effort. Looking at the right side of the harbor, in the distance, there is a row of fenced and thatched fields, which is the Roche family's salt-drying field.
"My lord, look at it," said the attendant behind him in surprise as Masato looked around.
Masaliang looked in the direction pointed by Guna Tong, and saw a large ship with a wide bottom, a raised bow, and a towering stern, about half a story high, with a draft of about seven or eight feet, slowly entering from the S-shaped entrance where Banwu Bay and Xuanjie Beach meet. The tall hull made the Luo family, who was guarding on both sides, look a little small. The Luo family's sailors who were training on the sea and the people on the dock were all stunned by the ship, and they all stopped what they were doing and stopped to watch.
This should be a modified Ming Guohai Cang ship, Zhengliang frowned and thought about it, and confirmed in his heart. There were a total of five ships in the Ming Kingdom. No. 1 is called the Great Fortune Ship, with three towers, wide at the bottom, high at the end and high at the end, which can accommodate 100 people, "the draft is too deep, the start and end are late", and the maneuverability is not good; The second is known as the lucky ship, which is slightly smaller than the first one, and is "commonly used". The fortune ship is as tall as a building and can accommodate 100 people. The bottom tip is wide, the bow is raised and opened, the tail is towering, the draft is about 3.5 meters, as a warship, the bow is equipped with 1 head gun, 6 jack Franc machines on both sides, 3 bowl-mouth guns, 20 thunderbolts, 60 nozzles, 10 gunshots, 500 crossbow arrows, 10 gunpowder crossbows, 300 rockets, 100 fire bricks, and thousands of cold weapons. With a crew of 64 people, 9 sailors and 55 warriors, according to the description of the "Wubei Zhi", this huge ship has three floors on the top. Its side are guarded plates, protected by thatched bamboo, erected like a wall, and its sail mast is two. There are four floors in it. The lower floor is filled with ballast stones, the third is where the soldiers are placed, and the second floor is where the soldiers live. The upper floor is a terrace, which needs to be climbed from the ladder on the third floor, and the two sides are fenced with board wings, and people lean on it to fight, and the arrows and cannons are all overlooked. It's really a weapon of naval warfare. The disadvantage of the Fu ship is that the maneuverability is not good, "tall as a city, non-human driveable, all with the wind and tide, and the return to the inconvenience of the flight, and its draft is deep, but the advantage is empty and the ocean, in the Caspian Sea is easy to glue shallow, must be with the sentinel ship." The third of the Fubune type is called the Grass Skimming Boat, also known as the Sentinel Ship, which is smaller than the Fubune. The fourth of the Fubune type is called the Haicang Ship. It is similar to a sentinel ship, slightly smaller than a Fu ship, with a draft of about seven or eight feet, and it is maneuverable in the wind, cooperating with the Fu ship. The armament includes 4 jack Franc machines, 3 bowls, 6 guns, 50 spray cans, 80 cigarette cans, 10 artillery, 50 fire bricks, 200 rockets, 6 medicine crossbows, and 100 crossbow arrows. The crew was 53 people, 9 sailors, 44 fighters. The smallest of the Haicang ships is called Cangshan boat, also known as Cangshan Iron, the hull is smaller, higher than the water, the draft is 5 feet, there is a oar, the wind is smooth, the sail is smooth, and the wind is swinging. The ship was light and dexterous, and was mainly used to chase the enemy and capture the head. It is equipped with 2 jack Franc machines, 3 bowls, 4 guns, 40 spray cans, 60 chimneys, 30 fire bricks, 100 rockets, 4 medicine crossbows, and 100 crossbow arrows. There were 37 people on board, 4 sailors, 33 soldiers, and a third class. The first armor is a franc machine and a shotgun, the third armor is a firearm, and the second armor is a cold weapon. …,
Now looking at the shape of the ship, it is obvious that it is a modified Haicang ship. The five or six sailors on board seemed to be well trained, and soon, the ship was docked. Standing on the deck were Wang Hai and Sun Wulang. Seeing that Zhengliang had already greeted him on the dock, Wang Hai hurriedly bowed and shouted: "The adults can greet them here in person, the villain is really lucky." ”
Zhengliang returned the salute, and without waiting for the guests on the boat to come down, he took the lead in climbing onto the Haicang boat. Such a large ship really needs to be visited. If the Luo family's naval army is also equipped with this kind of ship in the future, or even a larger lucky ship, then it will be able to dominate the Xuanjie Beach.
"Hahaha, my lord, the villain is rude" Seeing Zhengliang climb up by himself, Wang Hai hurriedly stepped forward to help. Compared with yesterday's down-and-out appearance, Wang Hai has changed a lot in both his speech and behavior today. Sure enough, with a solid backing, it's different.
"Hehe, don't be polite, is it just you this time?" Zhengliang scanned the situation on the deck with the corner of his eye, and found that in addition to Wang Hai and Sun Wulang, there were several sailors of the Ming Kingdom and the Luo family sailors who followed Sun Wulang on the deck, so he couldn't help asking.
"This... The owner of the ship couldn't get out for a while, so he asked the villain to convey the meaning of friendship with the adult, and told the villain to deal with the adult, and when there is time in the future, the owner of the ship will also come to visit the adult in person" Wang Hai said a little apologetically.
"Hahaha, okay, then I'm looking forward to a real meeting with the owner," Masara replied with a smile. But I was a little disappointed in my heart. It seems that the Luo family is still a little weak, compared to the Hirado Matsuura family, which dominates the Hirado family and competes with the Hado family, it is indeed not enough for Wang Zhi to come to visit in person.
"Ha Luha, my lord, let's talk about the villain's intention this time" Seeing that Dao Zhengliang didn't seem to mind anything about the shipowner's lack of proximity, Wang Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
