Chapter 480: Han Tang Group's Ocean Fleet (7)
Three days later, Hai'an 1 and Hai'an 2 led the Hantang Group's ocean-going caravan to leave the Wanglou Port in Yazhou City.
During these three days, the new order of Yazhou City was initially built under the bayonets of the Haian Brigade.
Captain Sun Yu and Captain Wang Cheng are both decisive guys, and both are violent elements who believe in power. What kind of democracy and freedom, what kind of moral concept, what we say, you just do it, if you were right, can you live like this grandmother? Two or three hundred hooligans will eat you to death, and on the surface life seems to be peaceful, but inside, the king of the people's history is raising pigs!
Damn, civilization is this thing, if you don't open the door to greet it, it will break in!
We've got you ......
When he saw that the two legs of the administrative management and the judicial army in Yazhou City were basically there, Captain Sun Yu gave an order: Let's go, there is no problem here!
It's just that the air pressure at the time of departure is a little low, and it seems that there will be a big storm, this northwest monsoon is on fire, although it is not as fierce as the northeast monsoon, but it is not easy to provoke.
Captain Sun Yu was still a little hesitant at that time.
The old sea wolf smiled and said, "Captain Sun, Hoi An, the two-day journey can be touched with your eyes closed." This storm won't be big......"
Captain Sun Yu looked at him with slanted eyes and said, "Tell me, how many levels are there?" ”
"How would I divide? But definitely not big! Where are the sea boats that don't experience wind and waves? ”
"Well, I'll admit you're right."
Captain Wang Cheng used to say that he would always start the pot camel machine and let it fully participate in the sail adjustment action, instead of having a single function like before.
After adopting this, everyone found that it really helped a lot, and even reacted quickly to the very occasional turbulence in the sea breeze, and the sailors were not too hard.
Hai'an No. 1 and No. 2 and the supply ships are absolutely awesome in this time and space, and they can still smoke while sailing! Who else in you can?
The only side effect was that they had to bring more charcoal.
The charcoal they brought with them was obviously not enough, so they bought almost all the charcoal in Yashan City at that time, especially the hard charcoal in it.
At that time, they found a phenomenon that made someone feel distressed: damn it, there are Huanghuali scraps in the hard charcoal!
Captain Wang Cheng picked up a round charcoal with a diameter of two centimeters and a length of five centimeters and said, "Damn, if this raw material is turned into a bracelet and sold to a fool who doesn't have money in the right way in that world, will it work for 20,000 yuan?!" ”
Captain Sun Yu looked at it and said, "It's almost." What are you sorry for? Didn't you say that the wooden warehouses of Wang Dianshi's family were all made of Huanghuali? ”
"Yes, the wood in his entire house is basically Huanghuali."
"Tell me, if Director Wu Jie knows, will he be a pure yellow pear sailboat?"
"Captain Sun, isn't that more wasteful?"
"When the gap between the rich and the poor in a society increases, and some people launder money by speculating on this and that, these broken wood speculations will appear, such as the late Ming Dynasty and others. Now, they are one of the materials that serve people in our eyes, and they are really wasted if they are not used. ”
"No, how can I see that Director Wu Jie always saves wood?"
"He has a strange idea, he always thinks that natural air-dried wood is better than artificially air-dried......"
Another effect of their purchase of charcoal may be to inspire Director Qu of Mingren to want to do the business of processing coconut shell charcoal.
He made the right move, and sooner or later it would become a shipping node of the Hantang Group, and besides, Director Qu had already understood the development experience of the Hantang Group.
But whether there will be a phenomenon of Handan toddler, he doesn't know, so he can only do it.
When the ocean-going fleet of the Hantang Group set off, he went to see them off, and seeing that they had really sailed, Director Qu was still a little panicked in his heart.
However, he saw the bright bayonets in the hands of the Anhai team members around him, and thought that he had already sent the letter to Taiwan, and the people of the Hantang Group would not abandon this place, and they would come back, so he was still afraid of a damn bastard!
Blue sea, blue sky.
White clouds, white sails.
Nanhai is a beautiful and charming good girl.
Haian 1 and Haian 2 are like two light little beluga whales in the South China Sea, and they are boldly making various movements on the vast South China Sea sea.
From the air, they ploughed out two white lines of the sea in the blue, and the merchant fleet in the distance was like a clumsy humpback whale, slowly moving along the line.
After repeated tests, they calculated that the sailboat was the fastest when racing with a large downwind and a side downwind, reaching 12 nautical miles, which was even more than the top speed of 10 nautical miles with a positive downwind and a downwind!
In the captain's room of Haian 1 and Haian 2, the two captains kept talking about duplex walkie-talkies, exchanging various experiences.
They were boasting about each other triumphantly, because both sailboats had just successfully completed the downwind side-changing maneuver, which was actually relatively basic.
The old sea wolf smiled and looked at Captain Sun Yu's command, thinking to himself, there are so many novelties in this Hantang Group, I'm afraid that my experience in the past 20 years or so can't be compared.
At this time, he saw that the reflection of the waves on the sea surface looked a little darker, and he felt that something was not right, and he was afraid that the wind was rising!
At this time, the weatherman also began to shout: "The pressure has dropped to 994 hPa and 995 hPa!" The wind is increasing, and it is currently wind force 6, with a wind speed of 12 meters per second and a wave height of 4 meters! ”
Captain Sun Yu's heart trembled, okay, the air pressure shows that there will be no gale level, right, I said a little risky......
Captain Sun Yu's voice changed a little, and he shouted, "Hurry up and send a storm flare!" ”
A sailor with a large flare gun in both hands fired a red flare into the side!
The red flare was slanted in the air by the sea breeze......
Nanhai, at this time, tore off the veil of warmth and transformed into a middle-aged woman who was determined to divorce, and she began to turn her face and settle accounts ruthlessly.
If you say that the sky changes, it will change the sky, and when it comes rain, it will rain.
The sea breeze continued to increase, and the wave height also increased, and the weatherman shouted again, "Thundershower, wave height 5 meters, wind speed 14 meters, northwest wind direction!" ”
Haian No. 1 rose and fell between the waves, and the waves began to be rough, and from time to time waves flew away from the waves and smashed on the deck! Make a snapping sound!
The hull of the ship shook so much!
Captain Sun Yu shouted: "The main control sail shrinks!" The foresail is also retracted! Don't the damn stall!! ”
The old sea wolf first smiled and looked at the front window of the captain's room, and thought to himself, this race is so good, the wind and rain can't get in.
He looked at the waves in the distance again, and the white-hat waves were already everywhere, and the spray on the top of the waves burst out because of the wind. Well, the wind and waves will be a little bigger, but that's all.
He wanted to go out and help, and there was a bit of chaos on the deck right now.
"Damn it, you put on a life jacket!!"
The old sea wolf shuddered with fright, could no longer smile, and obediently put it on before going out.
Due to the help of the pot camel machine, the speed of the sail rope was accelerated, the influence of the sea breeze was reduced, and the hull did not swing violently as at the beginning, and really began to drift with the current.
Captain Sun Yu patted the helmsman on the shoulder, damn it, it's really good, it's always been very steady.
The rain on the deck was heavier, and you could hear the thunder rolling in the distance.
WHEN THE SEA BREEZE BLOWS OVER THE FRONT JIB, IT MAKES THE SOUND OF THE TINPLATE SHAKING OF THE DUANGDUANG, AND WHEN IT BLOWS OVER THE ROPES, IT MAKES THE SOUND OF BUZZING AND SHAKING THE WIRE.
On deck, a sailor was tying a tie to a claw stake, perhaps because of the slippery nature, and his movements were a little stiff and he could not tie it at all.
The old sea wolf walked over with a smile in the wind and rain, took it, and tied the sailor's knot in a few moments.
"It's not a storm...... Don't panic. ”
The storm in the South China Sea went as fast as it came, and in less than half an hour, the air pressure rose, the sea breeze became smaller, and even the sun came out.
Nanhai, like a middle-aged woman who had changed her mind at this time, couldn't wipe her face at first, and first smiled at the fleet.
The surface of the sea is full of streaks of white foam that rise and fall with the waves.
Damn, this is the biggest storm since I went to sea.
Captain Sun Yu contacted Captain Wang Cheng, fortunately, he was fine, but he was not as lucky as himself, as if the front spinnaker was scratched, but fortunately there were spare parts.
What about other merchant ships?
Everyone blew some of them apart, and Captain Sun Yu ordered to launch signal flares into the sky again, and two white signal flares rose to a height of 300 meters. Even though it's daytime, you can still see it from a distance.
For a long time, everyone gathered. However, it seems that people are not a big problem, and it seems that only a few unlucky people were injured by falling sails......
This is a good storm of magnitude eight, but the Ming maritime merchants didn't take it seriously, even the two Portuguese merchant ships were all right, and now their sailors are still walking on high masts.
Well, count yourself on how much you've been through.
The old sea wolf smiled and said, "Captain Zhang leads the team, and the wind is calm!" ”
Captain Sun Yu didn't know why, but now looking at his smile, he wanted to kick him to Hoi An, Quang Nam.
Their purpose this time is Quang Nam Hoi An and An Nam Yong Heon,.
At the beginning of the 17th century, Annam Yongheon and Quang Nam Hoi An were already important international trading ports in East Asia.
Yongxian's trade was mainly carried out by Japanese and Ming merchants, and Portuguese, British, Dutch, and Western merchants also came to trade from time to time. At that time, there were about 2,000 merchants from all over the world. The history of the city of Annam is "Gyeonggi is the first, followed by Yuxian". In the second year of Yongzuo (1625) of Tianying Temple, the inscription called Yuxian "Little Chang'an", indicating that Yuxian had been quite prosperous in foreign trade very early.
Merchants from Guangdong and Fujian were mainly engaged in intermediary business there, dealing in traditional Chinese medicine, cloth, spices, honey, silk and silk fabrics, and this was the only source of raw and cooked silk in the Ming Dynasty
In the 30s of the 17th century, after the Japanese merchants began to fade out of the sea due to the isolation of the country, the trade between Japan and Southeast Asia was mainly carried out through the Ming merchants, and the main trade share of the Japanese merchants in Yongxian and Hoi An was basically replaced by the Ming merchants.
Although the Dutch and British merchants also set up trading houses in Yong Tie, the Vietnamese considered them barbaric and greedy, and preferred to let the Ming merchants handle the trade, and the Europeans still traded with Chinese merchants, and the situation in Hoi An was much the same.
After the middle of the 17th century, the Ming merchants became the leading group of foreign merchants in Hoi An, far exceeding the European merchants who were also involved in the Nguyen family's overseas trade at that time.
Even in Siam, the royal family had a monopoly on overseas trade and was engaged in domestic commerce, while members of the royal family and nobles were rarely directly involved in trade affairs, and their business was usually represented by wealthy merchants. Especially for the trade of the Ming Dynasty, it is almost a matter of Ming merchants.
