Chapter 333: Sail away from the treasure ship

"Benhou Chen Kan, I am ordered by His Majesty to come to retrieve a treasure ship, and please inform General Zheng He."

Chen Kan, who was far away, reported to the door.

The general is obviously a fierce general like ten thousand enemies, in case the other party regards himself as someone who is not suspicious, Chen Kanke is not sure to eat him.

The horse lance has always been the standard for fierce generals, and it is good for ordinary soldiers to swing it a few times, and it is basically impossible to play as smoothly as a small wooden stick.

When the general heard Chen Kan's self-report, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly dismounted and saluted Chen Kan: "I don't know if it's Jinghai Hou in person, and the last general Cheng Feng is polite." ”

Chen Kan also dismounted and walked, walked to Cheng Feng, helped him up, and showed him Zhu Di's handwriting and tooth tag.

Cheng Feng then arched his hand and said: "Please wait a while, the last general will go to General Zheng He." ”

"It's hard work!"

Chen Kan returned the salute and waited for Zheng He outside the dock with a group of guards.

After a while, Zheng He appeared in front of Chen Kan in a python robe surrounded by Cheng Feng.

"Hou Ye visited late at night, Zheng He missed the distance, and invited him into the dock to talk about it."

Chen Kan saluted: "General Zheng He, Ben Hou came to disturb him late at night, and asked the general not to be surprised." ”

Zheng He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said: "Where did Hou Ye say, Hou Ye can come to our small boat yard, our family also has a light on his face, Hou Ye, please!" ”

"General, please."

After a few polite words, the two walked into the shipyard together.

Since it is a place for shipbuilding, it is natural that there are docks and docks, and in fact the port itself is a camp for sailors.

And Zheng He, along with a cadre of soldiers and shipbuilders, also lived in a treasure ship docked on the dock.

Zheng He led Chen Kan onto the treasure ship and said with a smile: "The space on the treasure ship is wide enough, and it saves the cost of building residences for soldiers and shipbuilders. ”

Regarding Zheng He's careful calculation, Chen Kan just smiled and didn't speak.

Although Zheng He is not a native of Jiangnan, he has lived by the Dianchi Lake since he was a child, and he has also lived in Beijing for a long time after being exiled to Beijing, and his living habits are no different from those of Jiangnan.

However, this Cheng Feng beside Zheng He, with a Guanzhong accent, shows that he is from the Loess Plateau, and he can get used to living on a ship, which is a bit strange.

Chen Kan didn't talk too much nonsense, but directly took out Zhu Di's handwritten letter to explain his intention to Zheng He.

"General Zheng, Ben Hou's family moved to Beijing, there are many female dependents and children in the family, it is really inconvenient to go by land, so I specially asked Your Majesty for a treasure ship, and I came here tonight to ask the general for convenience."

Chen Kan's words were polite, but Zheng He's expression was still visibly gloomy for a moment.

It is not easy to make treasure ships, he has worked hard in the past two years, eating and sleeping with the craftsmen, working with the craftsmen every day, and only building three treasure ships and more than 60 lucky ships.

Now Chen Kan is about to leave with empty teeth and white teeth, and he will not be too happy if he is replaced by anyone.

Zheng He, of course, is no exception.

However, Zheng He was not an ordinary eunuch after all, and he quickly adjusted his mood.

After pondering for a while, Zheng He said: "Since Master Hou has received His Majesty's edict, the general will naturally not stop it, but after all, this treasure ship has paid too much effort to the general. ”

Chen Kan understood in seconds, and arched his hand towards Zheng He and said: "General Zheng He misunderstood, Ben Hou is not so cheeky to ask for a treasure ship for generals." ”

As he spoke, Chen Kan took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Zheng He.

"This thing, Ben Hou thinks that it will play a greater role in the hands of the general than in the hands of Ben Hou, and I ask the general to accept it."

Chen Kan couldn't help but stuff the scroll into Zheng He's hand, causing everyone present to lose their minds for a moment.

That's too blatant, isn't it?

How can anyone bribe like this?

Zheng He was also stunned for a moment, but after seeing the corner of the scroll clearly, his face suddenly became solemn.

"Master Hou, this thing will be accepted with shame, and the treasure ship Hou Ye can drive away at any time, or our family can arrange someone to drive Hou Ye to the Jingshi Wharf."

Chen Kan stopped and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, the matter of the treasure ship is not in a hurry, Ben Hou still has something to discuss with the general." ”

"Oh?"

"I don't know if Master Hou has anything else to discuss with our family?"

Zheng He dealt with Chen Kan's words in his mouth, and the sleeve in his hand was turned back a few times before putting away the scroll sent by Chen Kan.

Chen Kan pointed at Cheng Feng and asked, "This General Cheng Feng is from Guanzhong, right?" ”

Zheng He glanced at Cheng Feng, and had already guessed in his heart what Chen Kan was going to discuss with him.

Then he nodded and said: "Yes, Cheng Feng is indeed from Guanzhong, but Master Hou wants Cheng Feng to work under his command?" ”

Zheng He directly pierced Chen Kan's careful thoughts, Chen Kan was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Yes, the general also knows that now that the grassland is divided into two parts, it is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of the great fire."

Ben Hou also controlled the 5,000 forbidden troops in Beijing, since he was a soldier, he had to be released to fight, and he practiced at home every day.

The person who commanded the army and the left and right strikers Ben Hou have already been selected, and now there is a peerless general who can capture the flag and lead the army to charge head-on.

Ben Hou originally planned to go to Beijing and then look for it slowly, but he never thought that he would meet General Cheng Feng here, so he deliberately asked the general if he was willing to endure the pain and cut his love? ”

After listening to Chen Kan's words, Zheng He's face showed an expression that was really like this, and then he suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, the Hou Ye is willing to lift Cheng Feng, our family can't ask for it, why don't you want to say it." ”

"Oh?"

Chen Kan's face showed surprise: "Such a bear man, the general is willing to do it?" ”

Zheng He smiled and said: "As Hou Ye said, Cheng Feng is a man of Xiong, since he is a man of Xiong, then he should shine on the battlefield and trap him in the land of Jiangnan water network for two years, our family is already guilty, Hou Ye's move can be said to be in the middle of the heart, hahahaha." ”

After Zheng He laughed loudly, he looked at Cheng Feng and asked, "Did you hear what Master Hou said to our family clearly?" ”

Cheng Feng couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "General, the last general heard clearly." ”

"Hehe, good!"

With a smile, Zheng He said: "You are a northerner, not good at water warfare, our family is destined to fight against the wind and waves in the future, following our family is a waste of your muscles and bones, now Hou Ye has the heart to take you across the grassland, are you willing?" ”

Cheng Feng's face turned red: "General, the last general... The last will be willing. ”

"In this way, you clean up and go north with Jinghaihou."

Zheng He smiled at the corner of his mouth, and was happy from the bottom of his heart that Cheng Feng had a good home.

As he said, Cheng Feng is a northerner, and his martial arts are enough to take the head of the enemy general in the army of ten thousand, and such a person should fight against the Tartars in the grassland.

What is it like to stay in Jiangnan and be trapped in the water network.

Chen Kan also smiled: "The general is magnificent, in this way, this treasure ship Benhou will drive away." ”

"It's okay, our family is in a simple place here, and we can't entertain Hou Ye, and when our treasure ship arrives in Beijing in the future, we will get drunk with Hou Ye and rest."

Zheng He did not hold back, as he said, now is not the right time to drink and feast.

When the treasure ship can sail from Nanjing to Beijing along the sea, that is the real memorable thing.

Chen Kan randomly picked one of the three treasure ships that looked pleasing to the eye, and the guards behind him rushed towards the ship like a tide.

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, and when everyone drives the treasure ship back to Beijing, it is just dawn.

Fang Xu took his guards to familiarize themselves with the structure and operation of the treasure ship.

After Chen Kan said goodbye to Zheng He, he found a clean place to lean on, looking at the moon in the sky and staring intently.

After all, it was the first time for Cheng Feng to contact Chen Kan, and the whole person was still a little restrained.

Although he had heard of Chen Kan's name for a long time, and admired the blitzkrieg and public opinion tactics he put forward in the court a few days ago, he heard more about Chen Kan's murderous name.

And now everyone is busy with their own things, only he and Chen Kan are two idlers, and he doesn't stay on the deck, nor does he go.

"Master Hou, the last general ......"

After a moment of silence, Cheng Feng was about to speak, when a strong sense of weightlessness suddenly came from his feet, so he had to close his mouth, tie up his horse, and firmly root his legs on the deck.

Then I saw the big ship gradually move away from the dock, and the brightly lit place for shipbuilding became smaller and smaller in the pupils.

Chen Kan got up and came to Cheng Feng, watching Cheng Feng take a step, and his lower plate was extremely stable, and his eyes couldn't help showing appreciation.

"You should try to get used to the rhythm of the ship's rocking, not fight it, because if you go on like this, you will get seasick sooner or later."

Chen Kan's kind reminder successfully broke the atmosphere of silence between the two.

Cheng Feng showed an ugly smile on his face: "Master Hou, the last general is really not used to taking a boat, otherwise you should let the last general get off the boat, and the last general will ride to the Beijing division to join you." ”

Chen Kan shook his head: "Since the treasure ship has already left the port, if you want to dock again, you can only reach the next port." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Cheng Feng's face became even more ugly.

At this moment, a wave came and shook the ship violently.

All of a sudden, Cheng Feng's face turned pale.

At this time, he didn't even dare to speak, so he could only focus all his attention on the next game.

Chen Kan was a little funny, a man with five big and three thick would be afraid to take a boat, so how did he follow Zheng He to fight all these years?

After thinking about it, it's okay to be idle now anyway, so it's better to teach the tutorial how to adapt to the ship.

After turning around Cheng Feng, Chen Kan said lightly: "Cheng Feng, you might as well think about how you adapt to the rhythm of the war horse when you ride a horse, and then think about the feeling of standing on the back of a horse." ”

Cheng Feng gritted his teeth and began to think along with Chen Kan's words.

Seeing that Cheng Feng relaxed a little, Chen Kan continued: "There is actually no difference between the amplitude of the ups and downs of the war horse and the amplitude of the warship. ”

Chen Kan's clear voice resounded in the night sky.

Cheng Feng's tense mood also began to slowly calm down.

Chen Kan's voice seems to have some kind of magic, which makes people's hearts unconsciously stable.

Cheng Feng tried the method Chen Kan said, and after finding that it worked, he began to move his body slowly.

And control the body to rise and fall with the ups and downs of the treasure ship.

He was a man who was used to riding war horses, and no one was willing to teach him in the past.

Now with Chen Kan's guidance, he soon grasped a little trick and began to consciously control the rhythm of his body to adapt to the rhythm of the warship.

And Chen Kan just stood on the side and kept nagging.

Finally, in the second half of the night, Cheng Feng could already start walking around the boat stiffly.

It's just that the sequelae are a little serious, and Cheng Feng only feels that his head is a mess now.

And Chen Kan saw that he had almost learned something, so he didn't care about him anymore.

Seasickness, small things, when he was learning to ride a horse, he wore off the skin on his thighs and a big layer of it, but he insisted on it.

Chen Kan was a little tired from the half-night teaching, so he found a ventilated place to sit down, blowing the warm river breeze, and soon fell asleep.

When Chen Kan opened his eyes again, the tall city wall of the capital division had already come into view.

And the sky has already been covered with a touch of fish belly white.

Chen Kan yawned, and just as he was about to stretch, he was startled by Cheng Feng, whose face was pale.

"You, you, you, are you a human or a ghost?"

Looking at Cheng Feng's current appearance, it was really difficult for Chen Kan to connect him with the living.

The suspects who died in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for three days in prison did not have his white faces.

Cheng Feng grinned, and was about to speak, when his stomach suddenly turned over again, and he hurriedly ran to the side of the boat and vomited.

If you can vomit, you are a living person.

Chen Kan twitched his cheeks, walked behind him and patted him on the back.

"You've been battling the treasure ship all night?"

"Gott~"

Cheng Feng should have vomited all night, and what he spit out at this time was just some clear water.

After retching for a long time, Cheng Feng said to Chen Kan with some embarrassment: "Let the Hou Ye see and smile, but the last general is now accustomed to the rhythm of the boat, and the next time he takes the boat, it should be much better than this time." ”

Chen Kan twitched cheekily: "Okay." ”

Chen Kan still has a set of comforting women, but Chen Kan has never been very good at comforting men.

Fortunately, the big ship is about to anchor at the Yangtze River wharf in the north of the city, and Cheng Feng's sin is about to come to an end.

"Woo~"

The conch horn sounded, and the busy boats on the dock hurriedly dispersed to both sides, and the captain of the Soldiers and Horses Division, who was responsible for maintaining order on the dock, quickly cleared a field.

The treasure ship is a giant, and such a giant has always belonged only to the sailors, but there is no one who has no eyes to come up and touch the mold.

The big ship stopped steadily on the edge of the dock, and Fang Xu and the others, who had been driving the boat all night, appeared in front of Chen Kan with a tired face.

Fortunately, when he set off to drive the boat yesterday, Chen Kan asked someone to notify Yun Cheng and asked him to prepare the carriage to pick up people.

After all, after a busy night, no one wants to walk home again.

So as soon as everyone got off the boat, they were helped into the carriage by the subordinates of the Hou Mansion.

In particular, Cheng Feng was taken care of by a group of maids.

Don't get me wrong, the main thing is that I've never seen seasickness like this.

None of the people in Jiangnan know how to operate a boat, they are all crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation, how strange it is.
