Zhu Lin and Yang Wangnan walked into a workshop where there was no one, and after talking to Yang Wangnan alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info After telling Yang Wangnan to pay attention to safety and other issues. Especially after paying attention to those chemical workshops, he hurriedly boarded the ship with people, and took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, and raised the sails and went down the wind. If you want to say why Zhu Lin left in a hurry without stopping. It all started with a letter. Otherwise, with Zhu Lin's temper, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to participate in the bullshit imperial examination. In Zhu Lin's words, it was all about taking off his pants and farting - a matter of doing more. Anyway, I can't pass the test. What to go. However, after receiving this letter, Zhu Lin was not calm. This letter was sent to Zhu Lin the day after King Yi left. After Zhu Lin saw it, he could no longer deal with things there calmly. After dealing with the backlog of three years and dividing it by two, after the unfinished ones were handed over to the Big Three, they set off in a panic, and even the boat was only half renovated and hurriedly pulled out.

It was already late, and Zhu Lin sat on a chair on the deck, looking at the letter with a few words, and his heart was very nervous. "Young Master, do you want to continue sailing at night?" Lai Mao ran over and asked.

Zhu Lin took the letter in his arms and said, "Go on! Arrive one day earlier, and finish the matter one day earlier." By the way, how many people did my second brother bring over last time?"

"Young master, last time the second young master went over, he brought two thousand over, and he left on the tenth day of the first month. I was in a hurry. I brought a lot of grain and grass equipment. I brought a thousand pairs of thin steel plate armor alone. There were also a lot of other ordnance. Loaded with three large sand boats. Chief Manager Zhu also specially arranged fifty personal soldiers for the second young master, all of whom were equipped with the latest firearms. That's a good firebolt. Young master, when will we equip our navy with some equipment? Our water army is now about to become a stepmother. A whole large cargo armed team. ”

"! Lai Mao, it's not that I don't equip you, now we have to rent boats, right! How can we put more advanced weapons and equipment on a rented ship! What should people do if they learn how to do it, have you forgotten the secrecy regulations? Don't you see those machine crossbows are equipped for you? And the armor made of bamboo is not the first to equip you? Those wire pulley crossbows have no worse range than fire guns, and the winding is all composed of winchs. It's easy and powerful. Use it well, no worse than those firecrackers. Wait until we can build our own ship. All the equipment will be prioritized to equip your navy, but let's talk about it. I've got the equipment for you, if you can't train me a qualified navy according to the naval drill code we issued. See how I clean you up. ”

When Lai Mao heard it, he stood upright. His eyes lit up and saluted Zhu Lin: "Young master, don't worry." I am absolutely guaranteed to complete the task assigned to me and train a powerful navy army for the young master. Crisscrossing all corners of the world, expanding the territory and promoting the ocean. ”

"Well, don't make promises so early. It is better to practice one sentence than to say ten sentences with your mouth. Lai Mao, are there any rules for sailing this night? And our ship doesn't seem to be very suitable for sailing on the sea!"

"Well, young master, to be honest, our boat is just running on the canal. Not when you get to sea. Sea boats and river boats are two different things entirely. When the young master arrived in Jiangnan, he knew it when he saw it in the shipyard. The fourth and fifth ships are bigger than ours. Not to mention the number three sea vessels. ”

"Lai Mao, you know a lot. I don't even know how to ship a sea, young master, I haven't seen a captain like yet?" Zhu Lin asked with a smile on his face.

Lai Mao touched his nose and said: I should really grab my mouth and smack it twice, no, I said that I would show my mouth again. I wouldn't have said it if I had known. How can I explain this to the young master. "Young master, it's windy, let's go into the warehouse and rest. I have arranged for people to sail there, and it is much more dangerous to sail at night than during the day. Usually we don't sail at night, we all find a dock to rest. ”

"Lai Mao, don't interrupt, say! How do you know about sea ships? Zhu Lin was very dissatisfied with Lai Mao's inconsequential answers. Is this simply perfunctory?

Lai Mao stood there and thought about it, as if he had made up his mind. said: "The young master really wants to hear the truth?"

"Well, you say! Lai Mao, those guys, that is, they know less about you. If something happens, it is always pressed in my heart, and something will always go wrong. You can see it. You seem to know a lot about sailing on the sea?" said Zhu Lin as he looked at the overlapping black shadows on both sides of the canal. The ship was fast. The scenery on both sides of the strait flickered by in the night.

"Young Master, please forgive Lai Mao for concealing it. ”

"It's okay! I am not an emperor who forgives sins or not. Say it!"

"Young master, although Lai Mao used to beg for a living on the water. But it wasn't on the canal that I followed my father on the boat when I was five years old. That kind of Guanjia No. 3 sea vessel. My father was originally a chief officer of the Liaodong Naval Division. Later, the slave tribe rose strongly. All the sailors withdrew to the pass. In the process of retreating, it was besieged by Japanese pirates who were paid off by the slave tribe. Originally, it was said that the performance of our sea ships was many times better than that of the Japanese pirates. But I don't know what the imperial court sailor and inspector think. He actually ordered no resistance. My father, as the chief officer, disobeyed. Led a ship alone and fought fiercely with the Japanese pirates. I was eight years old. Although we are only one boat, and there are many boats of those Japanese people, the No. 3 sea ship is much more powerful than them. More than two dozen ships besieged us. My father and those officers and soldiers were not afraid. Most of the Japanese ships were sunk by the beating, and the Japanese suffered heavy casualties. But our ship is also scarred. At night, my father ensured that the No. 3 ship would not fall into the hands of the enemy. When a few dinghys were lowered and the surviving officers and men of the sailors were transferred to the dinghy. Ordered to scuttle the ship. Rushed out of the night with me. Caught up with the large fleet. My father may have expected this to be the most important of his brothers. He took the people on board the only one in the fleet, which was the other No. 3 sea ship. But do you know what happens when my father gets on the boat?"

Zhu Lin looked at Lai Mao, who was clenched into his fists and full of tears. sighed. What are the consequences, and what can be thought of with the ass?

"I saw with my own eyes that the traitor had read some decree there, and then he cut off my father's head and hung it on the mast for public display. The traitor will cut me down and kill me. Thanks to the protection of my uncles, I was able to escape. After escaping. An uncle took me down to the canal, where I made ends meet. When I was fine, my uncle taught me the number of ways to march and fight at sea. Later, the weather was very dry, and the canals were all dry, so how could there be any fish to replenish them? I joined the Rogue with my uncle. I wanted to kill the traitor by the hand of the rogue. But the traitorous officer became bigger and bigger. What's more, the rogues don't have the strength to kill him. My uncle was depressed and left early. Young master, when my uncle was buried, he didn't even wrap a straw mat! When I went to the capital for the first few times, I inquired, and the dog thief had already become a cabinet scholar. The power is very large, and it is not easy to kill him now. ”

After Lai Mao finished speaking, he knelt in front of Zhu Lin. said: "Young master, I swear to the sky. As mentioned above, every sentence is true. I lived to avenge my father and the officers and soldiers who had died to his death. If Lai Mao's actions make it difficult for the young master to do. Lai Maodang is dead, Young Master Xie. Young Master Xie's kindness of taking in made Lai Mao secretly live for so long" Lai Mao pulled out his sword and pointed it at his neck as he spoke.

"Lai Mao, put down the sword in your hand! I will send you a word: It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. We are all still young, and even boiling them can kill them. Maybe we won't be able to get revenge in ten years. Your father's blood will not be shed in vain. Zhu Lin stood up as he spoke, tightening his cloak tightly. Walked to the side of the boat, held the boat rail, looked up at the touch of moonlight and said.

"Yes~. ”

"There's nothing to do. Everyone wants to kill their enemies, and I want to. But before we had the strength. You can only endure. Get up! It's still a little cool when the cold wind blows in the river. It's not early, it's time to go and rest. Zhu Lin turned around and walked towards the cabin. Lai Mao lowered his head and pondered for a while. stood up, turned around and followed Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin lay on the couch on the boat and recited a mantra. I fell asleep groggily.

Zhu Lin took a three-day trip by boat. It's still a tailwind, and if it's not a tailwind, it's estimated to be a five-day voyage. Except for a small dock where supplies such as water and food were replenished, there were no water bandits or anything like that on the way. In addition to being inspected once by the sailor's boat. Sail smoothly to the capital. Zhu Lin also asked Lai Mao this question. The water bandits on this canal used to be rampant, but now why are they gone? Not to mention anything else, Zhu Lin's original rich gold jewelry was robbed by water bandits. How can it be so calm on the canal now? Coming and going outside the ships transporting goods. The rest was just a couple of sailors' inspection boats. Zhu Lin didn't know what was going on until Lai Mao answered. In the past, water bandits were rampant, and later, for unknown reasons, the imperial court dispatched a large number of troops to clean it up. Even several sailors from Jiangnan were dispatched. After that eradication, all the large groups of water bandits were exterminated, and the small groups were scattered. Then came the successive years of drought. Not to mention that even if there are water bandits, they have also become drought bandits. In the past two years, there has been water, and the imperial court has brought most of the craftsmen to the south of the Yangtze River. How to do a bandit without a boat.

Zhu Lin knew very well why the imperial court controlled the sailors so strictly. The slave tribes who came from the north all built their country on horseback and archery, and they couldn't play with others on land. Before the popularization of hot weapons, infantry against cavalry, especially in the field, is estimated to die ugly. Playing riding and archery, you have been farming since childhood, how can you play with other people's nations on horseback from childhood to adulthood.
