The Ming Dynasty was founded three hundred years ago, the navy has not lost a single battle!
Naturally, there is a reason for it!
Zhu Pingan stood on the deck looking at the vast ocean in accordance with the formation of orderly warships, can not help but nodded, although the Ming Dynasty after the start of the ban on the sea, the size of the Ming naval division of the scale and size of the warships shrunk by more than a half, but despite this floating in the sea up to more than 30-40 metres long warships, for the nearby seafaring backwardness of the Japanese, North Korea and Southeast Asia, the countries, but still maintains an absolute advantage.
LinHuaiHou LiTingZhu still have a few brushes, no matter it is his level or the level of his generals or staff, can put this flotilla command so orderly, as if the arm make, all show that LinHuaiHou LiTingZhu still have qualification to serve as manipulate the river governor.
The flotilla was divided into two parts, one part was the combat ships and the other part was the non-combat ships. There were more than twenty combat ships in total, of different sizes, the flagship where Li Tingzhu was located was the largest; there were eight non-combat ships, except for the one where Zhu Pingan and Li Shu were located, which was inclined to be a cruise ship, the rest of the non-combat ships were responsible for the tasks of supplying and rescuing. The flagship was a blessed ship about forty metres long, with two masts and three decks of cabins, with a thick outer parapet like a scaled down version of a city, and the bow of the ship was also clad in iron. At the pier, Zhu Pingan roughly counted, the flagship has a total of more than thirty guns, as for the flagship of other weapons Zhu Pingan does not know, but it should be to fire barrels, bird barrels such firearms, crossbows and arrows, pitcher guns and such cold weapons as a supplement.
In addition to the blessed ships, there were also small and medium sized warships, such as the Haicang ships, the two-masted gunboats, the Cangshan ships and other ships.
The flotilla was commanded by semaphore and gongs and horns.
Soon after the flotilla set sail, Zhu Pingan saw on the deck that the flagship where Li Tingzhu was presenting different coloured flags waving in succession, and then the flotilla moved in an orderly manner according to the instructions of the flags. The warships were spread far ahead in a circular arc, escorting and guarding; the non-warships were sailing behind, at a slightly slower speed, and a considerable distance was maintained between the various ships, this was because when sailing in the sea, if two ships travelling parallel to each other were too close, they would be prone to collide under the effect of the pressure of the water currents.
When Zhu Pingan looked at the warships in front of him on the deck, he could only vaguely see a row of black dots. The nearby supply ships could see an outline instead.
With the compass during the day, the star pulling technique at night, and the navigational charts for sailing along the coast of Daming, the fleet sailed smoothly all the time. The next day the fleet sailed to almost noon. The wind direction changed, the flagship flag signal temporarily docked at the coast to rest.
In the sea can not anchor, only close to the coast to anchor and rest. There are charts and old crews do not worry about finding a beach where the ship can stop, and soon found a suitable coast for a pause, the fleet lined up. The fleet was lined up, each anchored and rested for the time being.
This beach is a concave shape, outside the wind and waves are large, the sea here is relatively calm, in the distance there are a few large seabirds gliding in the sea, the warm sunlight in the sky shines on the sea surface leaving a sea of golden light.
During the time of rest and recuperation, the Marquis of Linhuai also sent out six warships to roam around in the offshore to keep watch.
Zhu Pingan leaned against the railing and looked at the warships sent out by the Marquis of Linhuai to troll, nodding in satisfaction.
“Miss, look, there are fish.”The bun little maid was lying on the railing. Looking at the churning water under the boat, her little face flushed with excitement.
“Is that so?”Li Shu also brightened her eyes.
“Yes miss, it’s at least this big.”The bun little maid flushed her little face and stretched out her little hand to gesture up, excited.
Li Shu carried the hem of her skirt and walked to the railing, looking at the sparkling sea under the boat with interest, the bun little maid stood beside Li Shu, stretching her little hand to point out the place where the big fish jumped out just now, and when there was another fish flopping out, the two girls shouted with excitement.
“Let’s fish. Let’s fish miss.”The bun little maid looked at the fish flopping in the sea and suggested with bright eyes blinking and blinking.
The child is teachable.
Li Shu looked at the bun little maid and nodded with satisfaction, in fact, the bun little maid didn’t say she also wanted to fish. When she was in the big sea. Li Shu had wanted to fish, but just couldn’t due to the boat being on the go all the time. Now that the ship had stopped, naturally, she couldn’t miss the opportunity, and the little bun maid’s suggestion of fishing fell right into Li Shu’s heart.
So, Li Shu had someone call for the fishing gear she bought when she boarded the ship to be taken out, and installed the fishing gear on the deck in preparation for fishing. However. None of them had ever installed fishing gear before, and looking at the fish float, fish line, fish hooks, fish rods, and fish bait, they did not know how to do it with two eyes.
“Let me do it.”
Zhu Pingan walked over, squatted down his body, and very skilfully planted the fish float on the fish line, then tied the three fish hooks on the fish line, and then tied the fish line securely on the fishing rod, installing a set of fishing gear, the whole process didn’t take more than three minutes.
“Auntie is so powerful.”Looking at Zhu Pingan installing the fishing gear so quickly, the bun little maid had a face of adoration, her eyes were a little starry.
Li Shu, on the other hand, skimmed her small mouth in disdain and even rolled her eyes when she heard the bun little maid’s words.
“You seem to be disdainful, then do it yourself.”Seeing this, Zhu Pingan slightly hooked his lips and put the set of fishing gear that was installed into the bun little maid’s hands, then handed the set that was not installed to Li Shu.
“Who cares, just do it yourself!”Li Shu glared at Zhu Pingan and huffed.
“Miss, you use this.”With that, the little bun maid handed the fishing gear in her hand to Li Shu.
“I don’t care if someone made it.”
At those words, Li Shu glared hard at the bun little maid, and then the bun little maid shrunk her head, not daring to stretch her claws any further.
However, installing fishing gear seemed simple, but it wasn’t easy, let alone Li Shu, who didn’t dip her ten fingers in the water. Despite being confident at first, Li Shu tried several times, but she could not set it up properly, how the fish float was fixed on the line was a problem, so she had no choice but to turn to Zhu Pingan for help.
“Hey, you set it for me.”Li Shu walked to Zhu Pingan’s side and said, although her face was slightly red, her haughty flavour was not reduced at all.
“Hello? Who is ‘hello’? Where is it?”Zhu Pingan deliberately twisted his head to look around, then pretended to look at Li Shu with a blank face.
It seemed that teasing a certain haughty little girl and watching the haughty, stinky girl redden her face was quite interesting, it was
“Zhu Pingan, you gave me peace.”Li Shu’s pretty face was even redder than earlier.
“I also want to an ah, but just now a certain person seems to have some disdain for it.”Zhu Pingan stretched his back.
“You ……”Li Shu glared at Zhu Pingan with a puff of air.
Zhu Pingan shrugged his shoulders, indifferent to Li Shu’s little blank stare.
In the end, only after Li Shu’s red face told Zhu Pingan that you are awesome, did Zhu Pingan smile with satisfaction and set up the fishing gear for Li Shu. Of course, a pair of fishing gear was also installed for himself.
