Chapter 460 You are so awesome
In the three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the navy has never been defeated!
Of course it makes sense!
Zhu Ping'an stood on the deck and looked at the orderly warships arranged according to formations on the vast sea. He couldn't help but nodded. Although it showed that after the ban on the sea, the scale and size of the warships of the Ming Navy shrank. More than half, but despite this, the warship floating on the sea for more than 30 to 40 meters still maintained an absolute advantage over the nearby Japanese pirates, North Korea and Southeast Asian countries with backward navigation.
Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu still has a lot of skills. Regardless of his level or the level of his generals or staff, it shows that he can command this fleet in such an orderly manner, like an arm. Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu is still qualified to serve as the admiral of Caojiang.
The fleet is divided into two parts, one is combat ships and the other is non-combat ships. There are more than twenty combat ships in total, varying in size. Li Tingzhu's flagship is the largest; there are eight non-combat ships. Except for Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's ship, which is more of a cruise ship, the other non-combat ships are responsible for supply and rescue. Wait for the task. The flagship is a lucky ship about forty meters long, with two masts and three floors of cabins. There are thick guardrails outside like a miniature city, and the bow is covered with iron sheets. When at the dock, Zhu Pingan roughly counted and found that there were more than thirty artillery pieces on the flagship. Zhu Pingan did not know about the other weapons on the flagship, but they should be mainly firearms such as fire tubes and bird tubes, as well as crossbows and throwing guns. Use cold weapons as a supplement.
In addition to Fu ships, there are also small and medium-sized warships, such as Haicang ship, two-masted gun ship, Cangshan ship and other ships.
The fleet is commanded by flags, gongs, drums and horns.
Not long after the fleet set sail, Zhu Ping'an saw Li Tingzhu's flagship waving flags of different colors on the deck, and then the fleet followed the flag instructions in an orderly manner. The warships were distributed far ahead in an arc to protect and guard; the non-warships sailed behind, at a slightly slower speed, and a considerable distance was maintained between the ships. This is because sailing in the sea, if If two ships are traveling too close together in parallel, they may easily collide due to the pressure of the water flow.
Zhu Pingan looked at the warship in front of him on the deck. He could only vaguely see a row of black dots, but an outline of the nearby supply ship could be seen.
There was a compass during the day, a star-finding technique at night, and nautical charts for sailing along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. The fleet's navigation had always been smooth. When the fleet sailed towards noon the next day, the wind direction changed, and the flagship signaled and temporarily stopped at the coast to rest.
You cannot anchor in the sea. You can only anchor and rest when you are close to the coast. With nautical charts and experienced sailors, they didn't have to worry about finding a beach where the boat could park. They quickly found a suitable coast to pause. The fleet lined up and anchored for a while.
This beach is a concave shape, with strong wind and waves outside, but the sea here is relatively calm. There are several large seabirds gliding on the sea in the distance, and the warm sunshine in the sky shines Leaving a sea of golden light on the sea.
While resting, the Marquis of Linhuai also sent out six warships to patrol the offshore waters for warning.
Zhu Pingan leaned against the railing, looking at the warship sent out by the Marquis of Linhuai to tow, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss, look, there are fishes." The little maid Baozi was lying on the railing, looking at the water splashing under the boat, her little face flushed with excitement.
"Really?" Li Shu also lit up her eyes.
"Yes, miss, at least it's this big." The little maid Baozi flushed her little face, stretched out her little hands and started gesturing, she was very excited.
Li Shu walked to the railing with her skirt in hand and looked at the sparkling sea under the boat with great interest. The little maid Baozi stood beside Li Shu, stretching out her little hand to pull out the big fish that just jumped out. The place was pointed out, and when another fish came over the flowers, the two girls screamed excitedly.
"Let's fish, miss, let's fish." Baozi's little maid suggested as she looked at the fish tumbling in the sea and blinked with bright eyes.
Children can be taught.
Li Shu looked at the little maid Baozi and nodded with satisfaction. In fact, the little maid Baozi wanted to fish even if she didn’t tell her. When she was on the sea, Li Shu wanted to fish, but she couldn't fish because the boat kept moving. Now that the boat was parked, it was natural not to miss the opportunity. Little Maid Baozi's suggestion of fishing just fell into Li Shu's heart.
So, Li Shu asked someone to take out the fishing gear he bought when he got on the boat, and installed the fishing gear on the deck to prepare for fishing. However, none of them had ever installed fishing gear. Looking at the float, fishing line, fishhook, fishing rod and bait, their eyes darkened and they didn't know what to do.
"I'll do it."
Zhu Ping'an came over, squatted down, and skillfully placed the fish float on the fishing line, and then tied three fishhooks on the fishing line. He took the fishing line, tied it firmly to the fishing rod, and installed a set of fishing gear. The whole process took less than three minutes.
"Uncle, you are so awesome." Seeing Zhu Ping'an setting up the fishing gear so quickly, the little maid Baozi had a look of admiration on her face, and there were stars in her eyes.
Li Shu curled her lips in disapproval and rolled her eyes when she heard what Baozi's little maid said.
"You seem to be very disdainful, then you can do it yourself." Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an slightly curled his lips, put the installed set of fishing gear into the hands of the little maid Baozi, and then put the unsecured fishing gear into the hands of the little maid. A set of fishing gear was handed to Li Shu.
"Who cares, just do it by yourself!" Li Shu glared at Zhu Pingan and said angrily.
"Miss, you can use this." With that, the little maid Baozi handed the fishing gear in her hand to Li Shu.
"I don't care if someone did it."
Hearing this, Li Shu glared at the little maid Baozi, and then the little maid Baozi shrank her head and didn't dare to stretch her claws anymore.
However, installing fishing gear seems simple, but it is not easy, let alone Li Shu, who has no fingers in the spring water. Although she was very confident at first, Li Shu tried several times but could not get it right. There were problems with fixing the float on the fishing line. She had no choice but to ask Zhu Ping'an for help.
"Hey, you settled it for me." Li Shu walked to Zhu Pingan and said, although her face was slightly red, her arrogance did not diminish at all.
"Hello? Who is 'Hello'? Where is he?" Zhu Ping'an deliberately turned his head and looked around, then looked at Li Shu with a fake look on his face.
It seems that it is quite interesting to tease a certain arrogant little girl and see the arrogant and stinky girl blush.
"Zhu Ping'an, please fix it for me." Li Shu's face was more pretty than before More red.
"I want to be safe too, but someone seemed a little disdainful just now." Zhu Pingan stretched.
"You" Li Shu glared at Zhu Pingan angrily.
Zhu Ping'an shrugged, indifferent to Li Shu's little roll of eyes.
Finally, after Li Shu blushed and told Zhu Pingan that you are so awesome, Zhu Pingan put the fishing gear on Li Shu with a satisfied smile. Of course, I also installed a pair of fishing gear for myself. (End of this chapter)
