"Thinking about the time when he sailed out to sea, Zheng Gong held the big treasure ship with a length of 44 zhang, a width of 18 zhang, a height of four floors, the upper row of nine masts can hang 12 sails, just the anchor weighs thousands of catties, hang the sail and set sail without two or three hundred people The ship can not start. At that time, the largest treasure ship rate of 62 small and medium-sized treasure ships, a total of more than 20,000 people to go to sea, momentum like a rainbow, ambitious to the sky, a total of six voyages before and after are like this! ”

Lu Zhaoguang's mind came up with the situation when the treasure ship sailed, and he couldn't help but stir up pride, and everyone present praised him.

"During the more than 20 months of sailing through the sea, every time I encountered the situation of waves catching the sky and distant waves like mountains, although it was always dangerous and breathtaking, the sixty-two treasure ships were always sailing high, day and night, and I rarely heard of anyone being killed. This all depends on the word 'stability', and this is one of them.

Second, at that time, the ship was loaded with tea, porcelain, and silk, and when it returned, it also carried many treasures from foreign feudal tributes, such as spices and living animals. Just ask, which of these objects can get wet? ”

Lu Zhaoguang indifferently put the past facts in front of everyone, there is no need to be high-sounding, and there is no need to sell to win the recognition of others.

"According to Deputy Envoy Guo, the Guangzhou Ship naturally has outstanding advantages, but the Guangzhou Ship has always been a pointed head and long body, and most of them are offensive and defensive ships, so if they want to accommodate more than 20,000 people who have been floating on the sea for more than 20 months, I am afraid that they may not be able to guarantee ......."

"This ......" the chubby Deputy Guo was speechless for a while.

When King Teng heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and interjected: "When Lord Lu said this, this king has become curious. ”

"King Teng just asks." Envoy Lu replied with a smile.

"Before, in Beijing, I heard the old man say that Zheng Gong's treasure ships had more than 20 cabins, as few as 23 cabins and as many as 28 cabins, is this true?"

"Back to King Teng, this is true." Lu Zhaoguang responded.

"So what are these twenty or so cabins for? Does Chief Envoy Lu know in detail? King Teng thought about it, leaned forward slightly, and looked quite curious.

"Lodge or store, or the chamber or hall, or eat or drink, or offer to God...... In addition to the small place and the few things, it is quite similar to the place where you live on weekdays. It's just that there are two places as wide as a courtyard on the treasure ship, which are used by the water supply master for daily practice. ”

Thinking about it, Lu Zhaoguang really imprinted this treasure ship in his mind, and he talked endlessly, and the people who listened to it were amazed.

"How can the more than 60 ships on this sea take care of each other, whether it is a big treasure ship, a medium or small treasure ship, how can they inform the fleet of their fellow ships about what is going on their ship?" Gu Mo followed up and asked.

King Teng turned his head and quipped, "You also listened?" ”

Gu Mo raised his hand and stroked the back of his head, a little embarrassed.

Lu Zhaoguang also laughed and continued: "It is said that the rules of this fleet have been agreed before the anchor is lifted, such as hanging and waving various colors of flags and belts during the day, collectively known as 'flag language', and at night it is so dark that you can't see these flags and ribbons, so they are changed to lanterns, and if you encounter such celestial phenomena on foggy days and heavy rainy days, they are accompanied by gongs or screws, which hold each other, so that the fleet of more than 20,000 people can move in step and sail in the same direction!" ”

After speaking, those who had already praised it before showed even more amazement!
