Chapter 382: The establishment of the Venetian fleet is really difficult
When it comes to the Age of Discovery, it has to be said that it is the famous legend of scurvy in the Age of Discovery.
There are many old ways to treat scurvy, the most suitable for China is of course the tea of China, whether it is water and soil adaptation or scurvy, people who often drink tea are not prone to big problems, the author of this book is lazy people who have experienced things personally, so they are very aware of this matter, so the proportion of scurvy in the Age of Discovery in this world is not so exaggerated.
But it is also because there are relatively few scurvy, so many people who have scurvy don't know how they get it, after all, not everyone likes to drink tea, and at the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the seafaring ships did not have so many luxuries at the beginning, and many things were not very well prepared, but relying on the wealth of Elder Jinchi, the life of the sailors on the ship at that time could be said to be really not very good.
It is not wrong to always say that the bean sprouts eaten by Chinese sailors are very good things, and the history of bean sprouts in China is also more than 2,000 years, but the medical development of this world is more strange because of the crossing of Tang monks, and there is no more detailed count of many pathologies such as scurvy, and scurvy is therefore a terrible term belonging to sea sailors.
Only a few sailors got scurvy, but no one knew why they got it, and it wasn't until the Golden Age of Piracy that it was determined how it came about.
There is no logistics, no back road, no backstage pirates, in that era finally because of poor food and large-scale scurvy, so that the pirates at that time were very panicked, superstitious they have felt that this is the punishment of the gods to them, it can be said that the Yellow Eyebrow monster is very sad, until the pirate joins.
Originally, he was just an ordinary pirate captain, without much success, but he did not let his crew be corrupted by any scurvy, which made the Yellow Eyebrow Monster very strange at that time, so he went to inquire and found that this captain had made a very detailed recipe for his crew.
How many cups of tea to drink every day, how many vegetables to eat, how many pickles to eat, and how much meat to eat are clearly written out as regulations, so that the yellow-eyed monster, who has already found a clue, quickly determines that the recipe can prevent scurvy!
So the original ordinary pirate captain was given the title of a pirate gentleman, and the recipe formulated by the pirate gentleman also began to circulate in the pirate world, and the yellow-eyed monster committed suicide, and after the end of the golden age of pirates, the pirate's recipe was discovered again, so some captains in China also followed that recipe.
That recipe is the most reasonable nutritional combination known at present, so that the sailors can not only be immune to scurvy, but also with the dietary habits and cleanliness and hygiene requirements of the recipe to greatly reduce the existence of various infectious diseases and other diseases of the crew, in addition to the reasonable allocation and some other summaries, but it is called one of the important reasons why pirates are so powerful!
The pirate gentleman did not kill many enemies on the battlefield, but left behind something that saved the lives of countless sailors later, so that the name of the pirate gentleman was sung by many people, don't forget that there is a lot of heard, and even in the future textbooks, the reputation of the pirate king is not as big as the pirate gentleman, and many pirate works must also have the name of the pirate gentleman, and the one who plays in it must be a rare good person among the pirates.
However, those things really don't mean much to Mo Forget, and he pays more attention to the things left behind by the pirate gentleman, which are not very suitable formulas for the Western world, and Mo Forget is looking for ways to improve.
Not long after the foundation of the Venetian fleet was completed, Don't forget that he had already rewritten the recipes and other existences in a way that was more suitable for the Western world, but he found a big problem in it.
"How the hell is the pirate gentleman sure that there are not many repetitions in those vitamins when they are fully supplemented......" In the city hall of Venice, Mo Forget thought while fiddling with the brush in his hand: "Pirate gentleman...... Who the hell is it?"
The content recorded in the history books seems to only record the most glorious side, and the dark side behind those brilliance is not too much recorded, but those dark sides are really existing, so that after Mo Forget's personal experience, Don't forget what he wants to say: History teacher, you old man is really pitted!
cough cough cough ...... In fact, it doesn't have much to do with the history teacher, it's that the people who record history are too unpragmatic, and the most important things are not recorded, but it also makes Mo Forget feel puzzled, why aren't those things recorded?
Mo Forget, who couldn't find the reason, after thinking about it for a short time, still focused on the fleet in front of him, the fleet of Venice, and what he was now looking at was about the problem of drinking water in the fleet.
Don't forget what pirate movies I've watched before, one of the iconic characteristics of pirates is that the sailors in it seem to be all gentlemen in wine, it is said that they have to drink every day, and they can't do without wine, and they want to use wine to anesthetize their lonely souls, forget the troubles at home, and concentrate on the struggle of the ship.
But now it seems that this is purely a lot of thinking, and the real reason should be that the water at sea is ...... Nima basically lost all his taste in a month, and the strange smell of water couldn't be drunk at all, so he drank the wine, rum, which is the kind of distilled sugar liquor made from sugar cane, and the shelf life in oak barrels was three years, which was simply a sailor's welfare: 'Where there are sailors, there is rum' The good story is really not a casual saying!
Although it is not wrong to say that the origin of rum is in the American colonies of China, Huaxia does not have much secrecy about this drink, so the Western world already has its own rum, and now don't forget that the rum thing is being restructured, and rum, which is easier to brew and easier to preserve, will appear in the ship, but ......
"Drink in moderation! You must set me up in the military regulations!" Don't forget to say to Hong Dingtian, who was in charge of the fleet's affairs: "Last time I organized a sneak attack, half of the crew was drunk!
"Indeed......" Hong Dingtian hugged a wine bottle, thought for a while and said: "Not everyone can do a thousand glasses, and it is indeed a mistake to drink too much...... But don't forget, I won't be restricted~~"
"You also give me less wine!" "Don't forget to knock on Hong Dingtian's head, this thing is now a man's appearance, and he is already much taller than Mo Forget (in fact, the female posture is also taller than Mo Forget), the fully grown up Hong Dingtian, sometimes he is like a ruffian hooligan, and he also has the habit of drinking, which makes Mo Forget extremely dissatisfied: "Your mother, Princess Tiefan, came to me some time ago and complained that I made you drink too much!"
"But after drinking, can you not make the smell of gunpowder and blood uncomfortable~~" Hong Dingtian spread his hands very naturally and said: "I can't forget that you completely ignore the smell of gunpowder and blood, soaking in the sea of blood every day will make people crazy, only fine wine can make people paralyzed~~"
"You can try something else, don't drink all the time, you're the chief, take the lead. "Don't forget that he also has a bit of a headache about this, he took Hong Dingtian to drink at the beginning, because Hong Dingtian killed too many people and couldn't accept it, so Mo Forget asked her to either not go to the battlefield, or learn to anesthetize herself with alcohol, and now this thing has become an alcoholic......
"Do you smoke?" said Hong Dingtian as he recalled: "Don't forget that you said that nicotine has the effect of stimulating the brain, which can make people feel happy and relaxed...... The daily tension on the battlefield can be extremely stressful, so without tobacco to relax the mind, a large number of front-line soldiers will soon go crazy due to war anxiety......"
"It's just a kind of saying, don't smoke on the battlefield, it will provoke the enemy, but you can ...... after the war is over But smoking is bad after all. Don't forget to pause here: "If you and I exist like this, you don't have to worry about smoking being harmful to your health, but it's best not to get addicted to smoking...... Why do I have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if I am conforming to history again......"
With a lot of doubts, Don't forget to continue to check the things inside the ship, and Hong Dingtian over there quietly lit a homemade cigarette, Don't forget to agree, she dared to smoke blatantly, it's really good~~ She is both a drunkard and a smoker, and Zhennima is bad!
"Do you have poultry and livestock on these ships...... "Don't forget that a new problem has been discovered here: "This kind of thing can only be eaten by the captain, but it occupies such a large place......"
"After all, are they captains, and no special treatment will erase people's motivation. Hong Dingtian said disapprovingly beside Mo Forget: "I will pay attention not to give excessive special treatment, don't forget that you can rest assured~~"
"Hopefully......" Mo Forget shook his head, continued walking, and soon turned the whole ship around, and after finding no more problems, he went to the specially opened tavern on the shore.
"The treatment of the sailors when they go home must be done well, so that they can have a better goal, but don't go too far, because it will be bad if you don't want to go to sea then. After visiting the tavern, Mo Forget finally made a simple instruction, which can be regarded as the beginning of the rise of the navy in the Western world, which has been recognized many years later, is a very simple rise, but it is rising step by step, and it has become an important enemy of China in the future. Hmm~ o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o
"Why do I say that, I don't seem to have the motivation to work? Obviously, I'm from Huaxia......" Finally, don't forget to complain a little and end this chapter. (^-^) V
