218 Artillery Training on Large Ships

The southeast wind blew the fleet to the north.

The wind was strong, and the well-designed sails on the battleship happily caught the wind, driving the battleship like a wild galloping horse across the boundless wilderness.

As the captain, Yan Changwu had to control the galloping horse and let it act according to his will. He stayed up all night on the deck to command the galloping horse.

When the sun was just rising, he loudly shouted to the deck sailors to raise and lower the sails, using the driving force of the wind to make the ship run faster or slow down, so as to familiarize themselves with the performance of this large ship. As the sun

As the wind rose and the wind became stronger, the strong wind made the longitudinal rafters of the windward sails tremble. He asked the sailors to retract part of the sails. Even so, the big ship grabbed the wind and raised its sails as fast as a horse.

The wind gradually increased and became so strong that the waves on the sea were so rough that the bow of the ship was buried in the waves from time to time, and then the bow of the ship rose up into the waves, spraying droplets like arrows! It rushed straight to the poop tower like a rainbow, and the ship

Everyone on deck has to be careful not to let it get away to them!

The rookies on the deck were exercised at this time, and they learned an important lesson: how to stand firm and protect themselves in wind and waves, which was very beneficial to them.

The wind and waves on the sea are unpredictable. Just a moment ago, it was sunny and sunny, but in the blink of an eye, the wind is roaring, the sea is full of whitecaps, and the waves are like thunder!

In bad weather, roaring winds and huge waves can make even a huge battleship spin around.

The recruits were so frightened that their faces turned pale, but they could not leave their fighting positions. They followed the ship through strong winds and waves. The ship only deployed its lower girder sail and had to temporarily pull the lifeline from bow to stern.

Come and be pulled by deck personnel to protect themselves when not working.

In the storm, organizing those guys to fight against the storm is like a battle for everyone. People must unite and strive for victory.

A huge wave rushed from the port side and hit the deck hard.

Like a giant's hand, the entire battleship was immersed in the sea water, and everyone on the deck was immersed in the water!

The smell is deep and warm, like blood.

"Someone has fallen into the water!" A voice was faintly heard in the wind and waves. The officers and soldiers on the poop took a closer look and saw that the two sailors in the center of the ship were already in the white waves outside the ship. The ship floated and when the waves fell,

The two sailors disappeared in an instant!

They must have been swept away by the waves. At this time, no one has time to take care of themselves, and there is no way to save them!

Sailing is risky, and training can kill people!

As a rule, the bow of the ship faces the wind during a storm to avoid being tilted by the wind, but the damn wind is directionless and makes people confused.

The battleship rose and fell in the wind and waves. The officers and soldiers opened their eyes wide, trying to find the direction of the wind and avoid the huge waves.

At noon, the wind weakened, so more sails were added, and the ship sailed steadily. The new recruits calmed down for a while, while the veterans were accustomed to it, remained calm, and even said it was nothing.

The identities of the two sailors were found out, and they turned out to be new recruits with no experience, so they were unlucky.

Their names were recorded, they were treated as dead in action, and their families gave them pensions!

Later, it was calculated that fifteen people in the entire fleet were "killed" in this storm!

It was reported that many warships were damaged, so everyone put into intensive repair work.

"Don't take it lightly at any time!" the officers warned the soldiers. Before they finished speaking, the deck tilted sharply and several sailors fell!

A sailor rolled to the bulwark and almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, a sailor next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him!

As the saying goes, the sea has three-foot waves without wind. The wind blows the sails and tilts the hull of the ship. The keel underneath leaves the water, and the starboard side of the ship is almost touching the water!

In this case, the sail area had to be reduced further. Yan Changwu called all the sailors who had no tasks at hand to the deck. He lined them up, along with all the sailors from the two sentries, along the railing on the windward side, using their bodies to

Good weight makes the warship more stable,

Dinner was served as usual, but because of the storm, there was no hot food, so everyone had to eat biscuits.

Unlike Europa, the Southeast Fleet likes to serve biscuits with jam, which tastes much better than dry chewing.

Some of the new recruits vomited out all the yellow bile and water in the storm, but the officers asked them to eat biscuits, vomit them out again, and continue eating!

"You must eat! People are like rice and steel. Only when they are full can they have the strength to work and fight!"

"You will get better if you vomit and vomit!"

"Eat! On the sea, your attitude towards eating is your style! Eat it in big mouthfuls, don't be coy!"

The poor recruits could only swallow the biscuits, and strangely enough, they could just spit them out.



They sailed all the way, constantly practicing the subject of opening and furling the sails during the day. When the wind was strong, the top sails of the three masts at the front and back were furled, and the lower sails were furled in half;

The sails are spread; the staysail is spread, the spinnaker is used to steer; the topmast is raised to the top of the sail in clear weather; when there is a breeze, all sails are opened...

The training during the day came to an end, but at night, the sea was calm. Yan Changwu was on the deck, looking at the sea under the moon. A crescent moon bud reflected into the sea, pulling out countless golden ribbons, following the waves of the waves.

Movement, sometimes broken, sometimes condensed, changing like magic.

The scenery after the storm was so beautiful that Yan Changwu couldn't help but be in a daze.

What I want to say is, it’s really hard work!

After a day of training, despite the fact that he was giving orders, he was actually very nervous. He was leading a large ship with hundreds of people, and further away, there was a fleet with thousands of people. He was responsible for them!

There is no other way but to keep training.

Training at sea is non-stop, and when you return to land, you have to think hard about development. If you don't advance, you will retreat. A great man once said, "Development is the last word!"

Development is for the sake of fists. In the end, it is still a matter of competition. Whoever has a stronger fist will prove that his theory is correct. Might makes right, which is true at all!

In the past history of the parallel space, the Manchu/Qing Dynasties had the strongest fists, proving that Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong were all wrong, and Huang Taiji was right.

In the past few years, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces had the strongest fist, so it was proved that the Manchus/Qings were wrong and Yuan Shikai was right. Then Hua Mi thought he was right. Later, Grandpa Taizu said: You are all wrong, haha!

Wait until Uncle Sam has the strongest fist, so people can say that there are problems with your theories.

When China's fist becomes harder and harder, it will be qualified to say to Europe and the United States: It seems that you also have problems.



In order to have a strong fist and prove that Huang Taiji was wrong in this life, well, let’s practice!

He dragged his tired body back to the cabin, barely washed up, and fell asleep next to the bed!
