"Uncle Fu..." Bai Minghe wanted to ask clearly what was in this box. But Yang Yi kowtowed to Bai Fu before Bai Minghe: "Thank you, Master!"
Bai Fu sighed softly: "You call me a master, I wonder if your father will be angry. Well, what you have learned in your life is all about. This box contains an arrow, which your elders of the Yang family must know. The arrows of your Yang family are one inch longer than ordinary arrows and seven points heavier. After you hit it, you want to take them out unless you dig a piece of the meat."
How could Yang Yi not know his own arrow? But this kind of arrow cannot be used if it cannot be used for four stone bows.
"Go along the way." Bai Fu clasped his fists again and turned around and left the mourning hall.
"Uncle Fu..." Bai Minghe shouted again.
Bai Fu did not turn around, put his right hand on his left shoulder and patted him: "At that time, he shot an arrow from here, and the arrow penetrated his body. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to take out the arrow. One inch below the pipa bone on his left shoulder, there was also one arrow from me. My arrow is no worse than his."
then……
This time will be that year. Bai Minghe asked again if he didn't know how to get it. Everyone has a past that they don't want to mention.
Yang Yi seemed to think of it, and knelt down and walked forward a few steps: "Master, my Yang family stands tall and strong."
"I know!" Bai Fu had already walked away when he spoke. Yang Yi held the wooden box and said to Bai Minghe, "This wooden box must be handed over to my elder brother in secret. No one can take over, let alone let the excess people know."
"It's very troublesome?" Bai Minghe really didn't know what the arrow in this wooden box represents?
Yang Yi did not explain. He just said, "If my elder brother is willing to speak, then he can speak. If he doesn't speak, don't ask Brother Bai!"
Bai Minghe nodded, stood up and wrapped the wooden box in a piece of white cloth and stuffed it into his arms.
That night, the top ten business groups also came back. Everyone made a list.
"Mr. Bai, we divided the goods for 300,000 taels. The cowhide was prepared by the three gangs of Qin, Jin and Lu..."
Bai Minghe was listening while drawing on paper. It was not to calculate the value, but to calculate whether these quantities were enough for use there. Since you have to be generous once, you can't think you are stingy.
The prices were quoted from one family. At the end, the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce said: "Mr. Bai, if the rice you gave can be comparable to what we have eaten in the past few days, and it is new rice. We will receive the goods from Hepu at two taels of silver and five stones. If it is delivered to Hangzhou or Ningbo, we will receive the goods at three taels of silver and seven stones."
"As for the money from the other companies, their difference can be made up by our Ningbo Chamber of Commerce. We will need two million stones this time."
Bai Minghe thought for a while: "What if I ship it to the capital for you and pay taxes?"
"One tael of silver and two stones of rice." Ningbo Chamber of Commerce was happy.
"Let's talk about the details later. I will go out these days. You will first arrange to prepare the goods I want. The Shanxi merchants prepare a convoy to pick up the goods in Tianjin." After Bai Minghe finished speaking, he said to Lu Qiyuan: "You are responsible for the settlement with the merchants. Don't you know what to think about this settlement cycle?"
Lu Qiyuan gave a gift: "I dared to interrupt, thinking that this time I should give Xuanfu Qi and Datong San!"
"reason!"
"Three years ago, Xuanfu destroyed very seriously. It needed more. It was far better to add icing on the cake than to help in time."
"Master Lu is not completely right, it is actually a timely help." Shanxi merchants actually have more say: "However, Xuanfu Seven and Datong Third are a good suggestion. In the case of the situation there, Lord Bai's quantity of these supplies is just right, nine out of ten!"
The same thing is said, fight against Mien and bear the revenge of Mien.
What the merchant said was very real. The needs of the two places were ten. Five or six were solved by themselves. Bai Minghe gave them nine. This level was just right. In addition to Lu Qiyuan's suggestion, the difference between seven and three made this design perfect.
"This is decided, let's take action." Bai Minghe bowed his fists and said, "I thank you all here."
Ten people returned the gift at the same time, but said nothing. It was actually not appropriate to say anything. At this point, there were any words to praise, and they were not qualified to comment on this matter.
Two days later, Bai Minghe took the Yang brothers on the boat, and twenty good men were selected from the Jinyiwei to follow Bai Minghe.
Chen Ada greeted him: "Mr. Bai, you need to change the ship when you arrive in Qiongzhou Guard. This is the arrangement of Mr. Deng!" In the Ming Dynasty, the general who can be qualified to be called the general is at least the general level.
Qiongzhou Prefecture is located in Haikou now.
Qionghaiwei is located at the current location of Sanya and West Haitang Bay.
When the big fleet of Baiminghe arrived at Qionghaiwei, it was already dawn. Baiminghe, who had just woken up, stood at the bow of the boat, blew the sea breeze of early summer.
There seemed to be a boat in the mist in front of me.
The sun slowly rose, the fog gradually faded, but everything in front of you became more and more clear.
It is a ship that cannot be counted.
The two thousand-item warships that Bai Minghe rode on were already rare large ships. The length of the ship was calculated according to modern methods, which was 62 meters long and about fourteen meters wide. It was definitely a very awesome ship in ancient times. The load and drainage of this ship were predicted by the loading situation.
The displacement is 1,100 tons and the load capacity reaches more than 700 tons. It is definitely a giant ship.
There is a big ship in sight, twice as tall, twice as long and twice as wide as the white crane. It really feels like a crane stands out among these countless ships.
"Please go to the flagship..." Chen Ada's voice came from behind.
Bai Minghe turned around and saw that Chen Ada had changed into armor. He stood there with his fists and his hands folded and his body slightly bowed: "Master Bai, this boat is not the largest, but the largest one we can keep. The forty-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-four-fo
With the help of Chen Ada, Bai Minghe sat down and was pulled onto the lucky boat.
Standing at the top of the ship building on the top floor, Bai Minghe truly saw the scale of the fleet. His twenty ships and the Sansong in the south palm all praised the large fleet. What is this now?
Bai Minghe's legs weakened and knelt down. At this time, Bai Minghe just wanted to shout: "He's the size. The Ming Dynasty has no power in the sea. At this scale, I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot show my power in the world. The sky has no eyes."
"How might it be, I am the Ming Navy!" Bai Minghe shouted at the top of his voice.
Deng Hailong stood quietly beside Bai Minghe, his tone was extremely plain: "Mr. Bai, under the command of the Guangdong Dusi of the Ming Dynasty. There are 136 ships of 3,500 materials and blessings, 160 warships of 2,000 materials and grain ships, 300 Haicang ships, 300 Cangshan ships, 300 children and mother ships, 50 eagle boats, 100 flying swallows!"
"Mr. Deng, I, Bai Minghe, don't understand why the Japanese pirates dare to demonstrate in the South China Sea!"
The two lines of white famous crane burst into tears.
Deng Hailong didn't answer, but heard that he pulled out his waist and cut it on his arm, and the one who stuck it was inserted into Bai Minghe.
Silent rebuttal!
"I don't know, how many sea boats are in my Ming Dynasty?" Bai Minghe understood that Deng Hailong was also distressed, and he couldn't say what he could do. It was extremely difficult for these navy masters to protect more than 100 lucky ships.
"My Ming Navy now has 3,800 sea ships. There are about 300 not listed, all of which are blessed ships left by the year. The rest of the mother-child ships, Cangshan ships, are almost 4,000 fast boats that are only three or five feet long. My Guangdong Dusi accounts for 65% of the entire Ming Navy! Because Guangdong is far away from the capital!"
Bai Minghe understood that the sea ban caused many ships to be destroyed. Even if they were not destroyed, they would be destroyed and left there for disrepair for many years.
"Mr. Deng, I have heard of it before, go to the battle to increase the salary?" Bai Minghe saw this purely from the book.
Deng Hailong nodded: "There is this statement. Before the war, pay will be increased to boost morale. Especially now, if there is a war, pay will be increased. Our Guangdong side does not have this rule. We have almost twenty battles to fight." Deng Hailong pointed to the ships around him: "But Lord Bai, don't worry, every ship has exercises!"
"Can you send an order? This time you go to sea, each sergeant will give you five stones of rice. Based on each military academies, the general will add it up. I don't know if it's enough. If it's not enough, it's seven hundred thousand stones!" Bai Minghe's tone was very cold, and he could feel the sadness in Deng Hailong's heart.
I also felt sad for the Ming navy. I had such a powerful navy, but I had no sea power.
What a joke!
Deng Hailong's hand was still bleeding. He did not ask the adjutant to bandage him, but just asked Bai Minghe. This time, he did not call Lord Bai, but called him directly: "Bai Minghe, there are several nests of pirates in Xisha."
"They have talent?" Bai Minghe asked back.
"Ha!" Deng Hailong laughed dryly: "Does of small boats with hundreds of materials, even if they are talented, they can only control some small boats of the Lake Army!"
"Then..." Bai Minghe pulled a long voice: "Kill, don't be captured!" Bai Minghe said, and took out the token that Yang Neng gave him in both hands. Deng Hailong pressed one hand on the token: "Send the order. Each team of soldiers sent five stones of rice. The Right Guard went to Da Nang to load grain first, the Left Guard went first, and Qinghai Road. The bandits entrenched in Xihai will not be captured! The whole team set sail..."
In total, nearly 700 ships were placed on the sea. The width of the left and right fleet exceeded four kilometers, and the total length of the fleet exceeded seven kilometers. This is the fleet. This time, Yang Neng took out all the assets, and except for the necessary coastal defense ships, all of them were sent out.
And the lucky ship was sent out with all the good ones.
The huge lucky ship, the deck that Bai Minghe is sitting on is about the size of a football field. The boat building has eight floors, with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons and a draft of 13 meters. There is almost no wind or wave near the sea, with eighteen masts and sails, and the speed can reach about twelve knots.
On the sea surface, a huge fleet of ships occupying an area of about thirty square kilometers on the sea surface slowly set sail.
Chapter completed!
