Chapter 67: Out to Sea
The clouds are green and green, and they want rain.
The water is surging and the smoke is shining.
on the pier.
A large seagoing ship is on its toes.
Jiang Xuan didn't know much about ships, but he felt that under the ancient craftsmanship, the five-masted sailing ship in front of him could definitely be regarded as the crystallization of art: "Lord Lin Meng, what is the name of this ship?" ”
"Maple Leaf."
Lin Zhennan explained: "This is not our ship, it was bought from the Qin family, who are wealthy businessmen who cross the sea and master the most advanced shipbuilding technology in Languo. ”
Jiang Xuan nodded.
He knew that the Qin family was very rich, otherwise as the leader of the Southern Martial Alliance, Lin Zhennan would not have chosen to marry the Qin family.
But this kind of knowing is not intuitive, when he saw the five-masted ship in front of him, he realized that the wealth of the Qin family is definitely the kind of great wealth of Zhejiang merchants.
Hundreds of merchant ships.
A dozen five-masted galleons.
It has its own docks, docks, and even tens of thousands of sailors, engaged in the maritime trade of more than a dozen countries.
I thought that the Lin family and the Qin family were a good match.
Looking at it now, the Qin family's force value is probably not below the Lin family, if it weren't for Lin Zhennan, the legendary leader of the Southern Martial Alliance, the Qin family might not be able to look at this family business.
"This boat looks so beautiful."
Sailors who watched as ants moved, loading cargo onto the ship.
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask again, "How about the data of this ship?" ”
Lin Zhennan explained: "The total length is 47.5 meters, the width is 11.3, and the draft is 4.6. ”
"There are three floors, the lower two floors are the cargo hold and sailor's lounge, the upper level is the deck level, and there is a double building at the stern, which is not counted in the ship's level, and can be used as the captain's cabin and VIP area."
"To deal with pirates, the bow of the ship was equipped with ramming horns, and the ship was equipped with a small trebuchet and eight bed crossbows."
"If you just drive away, it will take about 18 to 36 people, and if you want it to play a big role and maintain a certain combat effectiveness, you will need at least 72 to 116 people."
Of course.
Just retain some ability to fight pirates.
After all, the Maple Leaf is not a warship, nor is it designed to fight pirates.
If it is a warship, according to this size, it must be equipped with at least three or five hundred sailors, and if it does not fight, if it only pulls people, it is no problem to pull two thousand people.
"Jiang Gongzi, because it has to sail at sea for several months, in order to reduce the supply pressure, this ship is low-profile, with only 72 crew members."
"Among them, the first mate, the second officer, and the third officer are all old captains with 20 years of sailing experience."
"The rest of the navigators, surveyors, ship doctors, cooks, maintenance workers, are also experienced and excellent seamen."
Lin Zhennan said as he lowered his voice: "In order to avoid the loneliness of the journey, I also arranged some books and six maids for you, one of whom is still a rising star under the Wumeng. ”
As soon as I heard this.
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly: "What, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep without a woman." ”
"The sea is indeed a little boring, Jiang Gongzi, you have never been to the sea, I am also prepared."
Lin Zhennan said as he looked left and right.
Not much.
A young girl with long legs and a scimitar on her back came, and bowed her head to Lin Zhennan reluctantly: "Alliance leader..."
Jiang Xuan looked at the girl.
The girl was in her early twenties, dressed in a strong suit, with short hair, tense muscles, full of wildness, looking like a little leopard, and people couldn't help but think: 'It's really game, it's funny.' ’
Downside.
It's a little darker.
It may be a long-term martial arts relationship, exposed to the wind and sun, and the complexion is not white at all, but the darker wheat color.
"This is Jiang Gongzi."
In front of the disciples, Lin Zhennan was still very majestic: "Gu Yu, from now on, you will be Jiang Gongzi's personal maid." ”
Hear this.
The girl pouted, obviously not satisfied with such an arrangement, but she was afraid of the law of the Wumeng so she didn't dare to resist, and said reluctantly: "Jiang Gongzi is good." ”
Jiang Xuan nodded: "Your name is Gu Yu, is this the name made in the season?"
Gu Yu snorted lightly: "Hmm." ”
"What a name." Jiang Xuan smiled: "The Gu character matches your skin color perfectly, and at a glance, it is impressive." ”
Bared teeth.
Gu Yu looked disgusted.
Okay.
He really just complimented and didn't mean to play greasy.
"Lord Lin Meng..."
Jiang Xuan opened the topic: "It's all up to you this time, don't worry, I won't let you do it for nothing after the matter is completed, and I will also give you a chance." ”
"Serendipity?"
Lin Zhennan's eyes lit up.
Ten years ago.
An old man came to the pier of Gushuicheng and asked about going to sea.
It was when he was still under the help of the Four Seas, as a small leader, that he had a discerning eye for gold, and decisively drove a boat to the sea, so that he had today's position as the grandmaster and the leader of the Southern Martial League.
Now, ten years have passed.
The opportunity given by the old man back then has been transformed into strength and status by him.
Now listening to the word chance again, Lin Zhennan suddenly felt surging and thought secretly: "I have been favored by God once, could it be that this is the second time?" ”
"You don't have to be too happy."
Jiang Xuan opened his mouth and said: "If this trip goes well, I will definitely not forget your credit, if it doesn't go well..." paused: "Passing on your set of mastery techniques, to write a biography, it can be regarded as worthy of your service before and after the saddle." ”
Hiss!
I heard that it didn't go well, and there was also a mastery to take.
Lin Zhennan no longer had the reserve of the leader of the SAARC, and hurriedly said: "Childe, don't worry, in the past ten years, I have fantasized about driving a boat to an overseas relic island countless times, and this trip, even if there are thousands of difficulties on the sea, I will never miss your big event." ”
Well?
Jiang Xuanleng paused.
He almost forgot that the sea was no better than the land, and that in all kinds of unexpected situations, with the seafaring ability of such a wooden sea-going ship, it was actually a very dangerous thing to sail.
Trek.
Storm.
Billow.
Hit the rocks.
Contagious disease.
can cause a failure of the voyage and cause a group of people to die at sea.
Of course.
He is certainly not included in this.
Even if he encountered a huge storm and the ship was destroyed and people died, it would not delay him to use Hangu Tu to withdraw in time.
What's more, the next time you come back, even if you can't bring a large tool like a yacht, you can bring a small raft, life jacket, food, and water.
If it doesn't work once, it will be twice.
If it doesn't work twice, it's three times.
The coordinates are anchored on the small raft, and they are turned upside down again and again, as long as he doesn't feel the trouble of transporting, he can use the characteristics of Hangu Tu to shuttle between the two worlds and build a villa on the sea.
"Lord Lin Meng."
Jiang Xuan definitely can't die.
But looking at Lin Zhennan, he didn't look like a longevity, so he said: "I want you to draw a nautical chart of the overseas heritage islands, don't embarrass you, right?" ”
"Don't be embarrassed."
I promised everything, and there were many benefits.
Lin Zhennan didn't think about doing anything on the nautical chart, so he agreed: "After boarding the ship later, I will give you a copy of the nautical chart first." ”
"Hmm."
Jiang Xuan glanced at the dark clouds on the horizon and nodded, "Let's go..."
Sail.
Set sail...
