In the three days, Huang Chen only accepted Hu Erlao and Wang Fengwu's banquet and had a drink on the first night. The rest of the time was spent almost entirely with his subordinates. During the day, he taught them marksmanship and lit firearms, and in the evening he drank tea and chatted.
Deepen the understanding. His hard work was not in vain, and everyone has made obvious progress. Although it is still at the stage where it is not useful, Huang Chen has no reason to be dissatisfied that he has achieved this in just three days. At the same time, his subordinates are even more in awe of him.
I dare not treat him as a young man anymore.
After longing for the day to pick up the boat, the Hu family, his son, and Wang Fengwu had all left the market. Huang Chen led a group of men to the boat repair place. Seeing the eight-oared boat parked in front of him, he almost thought he was
After admitting the mistake, the scratches all over the hull were no longer visible. They had all been repaired and covered up, and a new layer of paint was applied to it. From the appearance alone, it was no different from the boat that had just been launched into the water.
Huang Chen stepped onto the boat and inspected it carefully from beginning to end. The smile on his face became brighter and brighter. The condition of the eight-oared boat was far better than he expected, so he immediately paid the balance happily. After the repairman left, Huang Chen
Chen glanced at his men one by one, laughed and said: "Brothers, the ship is ready now. Tell me, are you ready?"
"Go back to the captain, get ready..." Everyone shouted excitedly.
Huang Chen pointed his right hand to the depths of the vast sea and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Set sail!"
"Oh oh oh..."
The usefulness of Chen Si and Chen Wu was fully revealed at this time. The elder brother directed everyone to row the oars, and the younger brother led others to pull off the sail. Under the leadership of the two brothers, it didn't take long for the eight-oared boat to fly into the sea like a bird.
Due to the favorable wind, it was enough to blow the sails, so there was no need to expend energy in paddling. Only a few people were left outside, and most people got into the canopy to rest one after another after going out to sea. Everyone's pockets were empty, and gambling could not be successful, so they could only rely on gossip.
To pass the time. Huang Chen seems that this is much better than gambling. It’s not long since we first met, and talking can greatly enhance the relationship.
Yang Dong saw that Huang Chen was in a good mood. He had a question that had been holding in his mind for several days. He took the opportunity to carefully ask: "Shipmaster, have you read the military book written by Qi Shaobao and Grandpa Qi?" Zhang Xing and Guo Dayan heard what he said.
They all looked over with the same curiosity.
Huang Chen was slightly startled, then nodded and replied: "I have read both the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Military Training Records"."
Yang Donglian envied and flattered him and said: "Captain, you are really amazing." Zhang Xing and Guo Dayan nodded in agreement.
Huang Chen smiled, saying it was just two books. He really didn't think it was anything special. He asked the three of them, "Are you literate?"
The three of them all shook their heads. Among them, only Yang Dong's family was slightly better off, but they were all at the bottom and had no chance to study. Besides, they were descendants of pirates, so what was the use of studying?
Huang Chen said casually: "If you want to learn, I will teach you when I have time." However, what he did not expect was that Yang Dong and Guo Dayan were envious of him, but they successively rejected the opportunities that were easily available in front of them.
Their idea is very simple, and it is also the view that adults have always instilled in them. It is useless to study as a pirate, so it is better to learn more skills to help you.
Zhang Xing struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Shipmaster, I want to learn."
Yang Dong laughed out loud, pulling a large mole on the upper left corner of his mouth that kept shaking. He glanced at Zhang Xing, who was as dark and thin as an ape, with disdain, and interjected: "A monkey still wants to learn how to read? I
It seems that picking peaches from the mountains is more suitable for you. Dayan, remember the last time we heard the scholar talk about "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty", what is a sentence in it? What is the monkey crown? "
"Watch the monkey and wear the crown." Guo Dayan had a good memory and didn't even think about replying.
Yang Dong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, wearing a monkey hat and wearing a crown refers to you, a monkey who doesn't know the heights of the world."
Zhang Xing was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "Yang Dong, you bully others too much! I'll stuff you..."...
Huang Chen frowned slightly. This was not the first time. He knocked on the small table with his hand to interrupt Zhang Xing's words, and said with a smile: "Do you think I don't exist? If you dare to be presumptuous, I will have someone kill you.
You hang them on the mast and dry them in the sun." As soon as Huang Chen said these words, it was like a basin of cold water poured on Zhang Xing and Yang Dong's heads. The two of them immediately became clear-headed and sat back down obediently.
The eight-oared boat traveled very fast and arrived in a blink of an eye, more than ten miles away. Huang Chen disembarked and landed on the shore. He went straight to see Mr. Hu before returning home. The two chatted for a while and then went to visit the big leader Yimu Lao. Currently, there are only eight boats in the village, and he
According to reports, one of them is an out-and-out high-level figure. The big boss, Yimu Lao, has not met him yet. It is necessary for both parties to meet him formally.
When he entered Yimu's hometown, he suddenly saw two good-looking young men dressed in women's clothes, laughing and passing by. Huang Chen was shocked. Rumor has it that Yimu Lao is not only a womanizer, but also a womanizer. There are five or six men in his family.
, it turns out that the rumors are true. In fact, gay people are not uncommon in the village. Yimu Lao and Hu Erlao are both from Fujian, so they have many people from the countryside under their command. Fujian has a strong emphasis on male sex, and the fact that there are more men and fewer women in the sea further encourages
In this style, there are hundreds of men in a village, and those who are lustful can be twenty or thirty. Huang Chen doesn't pay much attention to this. His appearance is more masculine, which is not to their taste.
Yi Mulao stood in front of the living room door to welcome the two of them. Perhaps due to his ugly appearance, Huang Chen always thought that he was an extremely cruel and dangerous person, but this was not the case. Although his words and deeds were rude, he gave people a sense of boldness and straightforwardness.
The feeling. The scars on his face and the missing eyeball were all injured by the enemy during his time in Taiwan. All three of his sons died in Taiwan. Judging from his age, he is basically considered unparalleled, so he especially likes Hu Yin.
, treating the latter as his biological son.
After chatting for about half an hour, both parties left a good impression on each other. Huang Chen saw that his goal was achieved and stood up to leave.
Watching Huang Chen go away, Yimu Lao turned to Hu Erlao and said, "Second brother, Huang Chen is a good boy."
Hu Erlao said: "This guy is indeed young and mature, but he is still a little too young to lead a ship by himself."
Ichimoku thought it was true. He was still ignorant when he was sixteen, and he didn't go to sea until he was twenty. He asked with a smile: "Brother Yin didn't have any disagreements with you?"
Mr. Hu also smiled and said: "I promise to give him a big boat next year."
"Yes. A boat is nothing. The foundation of our village will belong to him in the future." Yimu Lao said again: "By the way, second brother, recently Feng Yan Lin Qilao's boy was killed by Taizhou Prefecture officers and soldiers, and he suffered a huge loss.
How many large ships?”
Hu Erlao nodded and said, "I've heard about this too."
Yimu Lao laughed loudly and said: "Is there any groundless truth in the world? In my opinion, this matter is inseparable. God helps me! It would be best if Lin Qilao was killed by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, he would still be alive.
If we are seriously injured, what will we be able to do then? Lin Qilao is temporarily in decline, and Fujian ships have entered the country one after another. Second brother, you and I must seize this rare opportunity to regain our strength as soon as possible, otherwise you and I will die without a burial place next year."
"What eldest brother said is true..."
The next day, Huang Chen drove an eight-oared boat and went to sea with Hu Erlao. After many days, he returned to Dachen Fishing Ground again. His identity was no longer a bottom crew member, but the owner of the ship. The changes were as big as this time.
Dachen Fishing Ground.
As hundreds of Fujian ships arrived in the waters of Dachen Mountain by the southwest monsoon, a thick atmosphere of tension filled the fishing ground. In just half a day, Huang Chen witnessed two battles with his own eyes. The protagonists were both Fujian ships. The first time
It was a conflict with a Zhejiang fishing boat for fishing profits. The second time it was even more exaggerated, and they directly fought with the pirates. Even though they were several miles away, the fierce fighting and the sound of artillery could still be heard.
"It's so, so brutal!" Huang Chen was stunned, and he couldn't help but raise a question in his mind: "Are they really fishing boats? Why do they look more ferocious than pirates!" What happened next was even more unexpected by Huang Chen.
After hearing the news, nearly twenty Fujian ships rushed to the two pirate ships and besieged the two pirate ships. Finally, one was sunk and the other was captured. All the more than a hundred pirates on the two ships were killed and no one escaped the net.
The war between the Fujian ships and the pirates was over, but the shock it brought to Huang Chen never faded. He had long heard Zhao Hongyi say that the Fujian fishing ships were well versed in water transportation and engaged in water warfare. They had fishermen, fisherman, and fishermen.
Kui, who is responsible for guarding fishermen and killing thieves, and collecting taxes from them is a very dangerous thing. Many pirates fall into their hands every year. But Huang Chen doesn't believe it in his heart. No matter how good a fishing boat is, it is still a fishing boat. Could it be that it is still a fishing boat?
Can it defy the odds? Today he finally saw the power of Fujian fishing boats.
"There aren't ten or eight big ships around, so it's best not to provoke them." Huang Chen said with lingering fear.
