Chapter 448: A Day at Sea
The waves swept across the sea, pushing away the waves on the hull of the ship like a hill, five tiger teeth and green dragon ships stood in a forest of flags, the red-haired Elsa held the mast with one hand, standing on a high place and looking out, she sat on the side of the ship, it was a more terrifying and huge giant boat.
She had never seen such a ship from the West, and at the beginning of its construction, she thought that the Duke of Zheng was just a whimsical, and that today she was launching and sailing on the sea, which made her still have a dream-like illusion.
If such a boat sails into their hometown, I don't know how many people will be frightened.
Thinking about it, she made a gesture and asked her subordinates to release the flag, informing her brother Barry that the Huya boat would change its formation and guard the giant boat in the middle.
Seabirds rowed across the high masts on both sides, and on the giant boat in the middle, there was a flurry of trumpets, and the sailors who waved their long oars showed the Son of Heaven on the upper floor how they steered the terrifying warship.
On the deck, the generals and their families walked cautiously, the sea was no better than the river, and even though the hull of the ship was huge, it was still a little shaking and slightly bumpy.
Yan's face was red and fluttering and she was hugged by her daughter, and under the encouragement of her daughter, she approached the guardrail of the side of the ship uneasily, looking at the endless blue waves churning and undulating in the sun, reflecting the clear sky, which made her feel relaxed and happy.
"Ahh~~" Lu Lingqi put her hands to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted loudly beside her mother.
"Girl's family!"
Yan was made to laugh and cry by her daughter's appearance, and raised her hand to hit her lightly.
All around, the boatmen were busy unloading large and small wooden boxes, which were all the ingredients needed for this voyage, as well as the bags brought by the generals of the army.
Soon, the sea breeze reaches the right intensity.
The young and strong boatman was sweating and shouting the trumpet, his thighs and arms were tensed, and he dragged the rope to raise the sails, and the lonely Queen Ma was watching from the side, but in the eyes of the Chinese generals, there was also Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang next to her.
Ma Xiuying asked in a low voice: "Chongba, you said that when the fourth child was young, we would have this ship in the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Not really." Zhu Chongba stepped on the deck under his feet, as thick as flat ground, and his tone was a little proud, "The fourth child still has some ability, such a big ship, and seven voyages to the South Seas have been made for him." If he hadn't gotten it, he really wouldn't have seen any stains. ”
"As long as you worry about it so much, your children and grandchildren have the blessings of your children and grandchildren, and you also have your own ability, you can only say that Biao'er has no blessings, and it is no wonder that the fourth child is the fourth child."
The husband and wife walked side by side under the mast, in the flag hunting room, Guan Yu, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su stood behind the guardrail on the second floor of the shipbuilding, and his beard danced obliquely, and he looked at the vast sea.
After a while, he whispered: "This boat is stable, if there was this boat on the Yangtze River back then, I am afraid that it would be able to cross Dongwu directly." ”
"Haha, with such a boat, it is difficult for Yun Chang to turn around on the river."
Lu Su stroked his beard and laughed, and Zhou Yu on the side also nodded, and said: "At the beginning, I also thought like Yun Chang, and then followed Zheng Dugong to use troops at sea for a period of time, only to understand that there are big ships on the sea, and small boats on the rivers and rivers. ”
"That's true."
Guan Yu has been in Jingzhou for many years, and he actually understands these truths, but he said them with emotion, and in his eyes, he saw Zhang Fei sneakily out of the cabin with the wine jar in his arms and turned to the back of the ship.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to stop the third brother, he saw Guo Jia also come out of the cabin, carrying a fishing rod in his hand, and followed.
"What are the third brothers doing with Guo Fengxiao?"
In the doubtful words, Zhang Fei over there set up two chairs, pulled Guo Jia to sit down, put the wine jar between the two, began to hang the bait, and then threw it into the sea.
The two of them lay down on their backs at the same time, each took a glass of wine and touched it, and then drank it, and slurped.
"That's what you call going to sea."
In the field of vision, flocks of seabirds blow across the sea, and the occasional white sail of a merchant ship passes in the distance.
The brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan came over together, glanced at Zhang Fei and Guo Jia, and then went to point elsewhere, and talked about the things in Chibi back then.
"If there is such a big ship, there will be no defeat of Chibi, right?"
"Well, even if it is burned, it is estimated that it can be burned for a while longer, giving the clan brother time to escape."
The merchant ships on the sea passed by, looking at the huge ships in this fleet from afar, one by one fell into a stupor, and when they recovered from the shock, they chased after the stern.
"The one just now, isn't it the one in the Feiyungang dock?"
"I've heard for a long time that Your Majesty built a big ship, but I didn't expect it to be so big...... I always thought that Huya and Qinglong were big enough......"
"It would be nice to draw the big ship just now."
The team in front of them seemed to be slow and fast, and before they could look a little longer, the giant boat and the accompanying ship were already out of sight.
On the big ship at this time, Su Chen sat in the shipbuilding, and the advantage of climbing high and looking far away was that the sea was unobstructed, and the passing ships were all in view.
Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Le Jin, Li Dian, Qin Qiong and other fierce generals in the army have never been on a big boat, and they thought that they would feel dizzy after getting on the ship.
But apart from the slightest jolt and shaking, they stood here and could be said to be even.
"I heard Wei Yan say that he had been on a sea boat before, Yun was still a little envious, such a big ship, he couldn't sit in Wuzhou far away, and he would write a letter to tell him when he went back, envy him to death!"
"Dong Zhuo, they don't have a chance." Lu Bu was happy, "At this time, shouldn't our King of Wei chant a poem to express his feelings?" ”
"Hey, by the way, what about your majesty?" Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin looked around, they remembered that the spirit positions had been put into the cabin, why didn't they come out?
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, it is indeed ah, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma are both hanging out outside, enjoying the sea view, there is no reason why they are not there.
At this moment, I heard the sound of water, and the sailor on the side of the ship shouted: "Someone has fallen into the water!" ”
When the voice came, the generals on the ship's floor, along with Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu, also jumped their eyelids, and hurriedly followed the sound side of the guardrail, and saw a group of emperors floating on the sea one by one at some time.
Cao Cao put his hands on the back of his head, swaying on the water like wood, in the rippling splash, Li Xuanba poked out his head, and was pressed down by Li Shimin, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore, poked out his face and yelled: "I can't swim!" ”
The sailors took off their leather armor one after another, jumped down one by one like dumplings, and swam over to scoop up the people.
The people on the boat threw the soft ladder to the side of the ship, and the moment Li Xuanba, who was struggling, held the soft ladder, he felt steady.
"Brother Shimin, isn't it a little bad for you to treat your brother like this?"
Cao Cao sat up cross-legged from the water and looked at Li Shimin, who was halfway out of the sea, who looked at Li Xuanba who was pulled up with an expression of hatred for iron and steel.
"You have to let him know how to water, in case Changsheng wants to go to war with the Japanese one day, he doesn't even know water, what if he falls into the sea?"
"It's right for you to be a brother with such a heart, but you can't train him to be another Li Shimin!"
"Who wouldn't persuade people, look at your son!"
Li Shimin picked his chin in one direction, Cao Cao hurriedly turned around, and saw Cao Pi and Liu Chan swimming around in the water, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and he yelled: "Liu Xuande, don't let Adou, who can't be supported by your family, get close to Cao Pi!" ”
Over there, Liu Bei, who was counseling Zhao Gou, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyi, glanced at it, and continued to talk to the three of them lightly.
"Zihuan, get back to the ship quickly!"
Seeing Liu Bei ignoring him, Cao Cao was so angry that he slapped the splash, he could bear everything, but he couldn't bear to play with his son who he couldn't look down on, and play with Liu Chan, who he couldn't look down on!
Everyone on the boat floor saw a group of emperors playing comfortably in the water, and they were all relieved, Xiang Yu pressed the guardrail, and glanced at Yu Ji on the deck, holding her slightly bulging belly, sitting on a chair called a recliner basking in the sun, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This trip, where are we going to turn around and go back?"
"Just went out, and you want to go back?" Li Jing is obviously not enjoying it yet.
"It's just too slow." Wei Chigong next to him crossed his waist and looked up at the sky, "The sun is also shining." ”
"Slow? There is a way! ”
Su Chen smiled, turned around in the chair, and asked Zhuge Liang, who was talking to Jia Xu, Wang Lang, and Di Renjie, "Prime Minister, can you borrow a wind?" A little wind is all it takes! ”
"This matter is easy!"
Zhuge Liang shook the crane fan, got up and walked past the suspicious eyes, entered the cabin, for a while, cloaked, barefoot, wearing a robe and came up again, together with a few soldiers, on the ship's floor according to Zhuge Liang's requirements to put the sun, moon and stars, and gossip array.
Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang curiously, wielding a peachwood sword in the array.
"Really, fake?"
Zhou Yu was also shocked, and turned his head to Lu Su and asked, "Could it be that back then, he really borrowed the east wind?" ”
The next moment, the sea breeze that had been blowing slowly suddenly let out a whimpering roar, and the sails of the ship swelled up, and the whole big ship increased its speed on the sea without the need for soldiers to support the oars and turn the oars.
On the sea, the emperors who suddenly found the acceleration of the treasure ship were stunned one by one, and then they drilled out of the sea one by one in a panic and floated behind them together.
"We're not on board yet!!"
Zhang Fei on the stern side of the boat, his arms swelled, and in the sound of the thick fishing rod breaking, a shark was pulled onto the big boat with a bang, the tail swayed in the sun, and the water droplets splashed with a crystal clear luster.
The ship was amazed.
……
Just when the treasure ship was bustling southward and heading to the Central Plains Sea, at this time on the side of Linjun, Qi Jiguang was summoning Lu Meng and other generals to set up a camp tent on the coast to talk about the recent news.
He spread out the chart and clicked a few places.
"Recently, a fisherman came to report that there were Japanese boats cruising, and what the captain told him before may be about to come true."
