Daming Haikou

The sea breeze blew across the deck, driving the sails and bringing a fresh, damp and salty smell. This old sailboat undulated slightly in the waves and slowly moved forward, but because the sea breeze was not strong, and it was a bit headwind , the ship can only use the side sails to gain some power and maintain the direction of advancement, so that the speed of the ship is very slow, almost making people feel as if the ship is not moving forward at all.

A dolphin jumped up from the distant sea, and then plunged headlong into the sea, causing a snow-white spray. There were also some water birds hovering above the ship, rushing to the stern from time to time, and after picking up a small fish It rose up quickly again, revealing a piece of life on the sea surface.

In the distance, there was another sailing boat that crossed the boat that Yu Xiaotian was on. Driven by the sea wind, it headed north at a relatively fast speed. The two boats even hit each other at close range just now. Apparently, the people on that boat and Captain Liu may know each other.

Originally on the lonely sea, it was a good thing to meet a boat and say hello to each other in peace, but after Yu Xiaotian saw the boat, he fell into petrification, revealing With a sad expression on his face, he sat blankly at the bow of the boat.

He was holding a large coarse porcelain bowl, and inside the bowl was a bowl of black food that could not be seen. The food had basically no aroma, but it had a rotten smell like pig food, which made Yu Xiaotian was a little nauseous.

But he was not sad because of the quality of this bowl of rice, but because of the sailboat that passed them just now!At this moment, his heart was cold and cold, and he sank completely to the bottom of the valley.

There is no other reason, just because the sailboat was similar in shape to the boat he was in, and it was also a two-masted wooden fishing boat, all of which completely broke Yu Xiaotian's little luck left in his heart. The facts told him that he was indeed Really crossed!

Yu Xiaotian felt like scolding his mother, but he didn't know if it was because he was too lucky or too stupid!Even this kind of ghostly thing can happen, something that is estimated to be lower than the chance of winning the lottery, but it actually fell on his head.

He just went out to sea with the old uncle for the first time, and was caught by the big hand of fate, and threw him hundreds of years ago. He still hasn't figured out how it happened. It's about the weird thick fog.

And through the two days of life on the boat, from the mouths of these boatmen, Yu Xiaotian roughly figured out the dynasty he was in, and this dynasty was the Great Ming Dynasty!But because the boatmen were vague, he could only judge that it was probably in the early years of Tianqi, and the specific years of Tianqi, so far he has not figured it out.

Yu Xiaotian sat on the boat with a big porcelain bowl in his hand, and was dazed for a while. At the beginning, his mind was a mess, and he was a little confused. The man, after fully understanding the current situation, he quickly recovered from the chaos.

In fact, although Yu Xiaotian is not too old, he has suffered a lot of setbacks. It is probably because of his natural personality that he is more open-minded. Not once.

Anyway, there is no medicine for regret in this world, sitting there and regretting is useless, Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath, and cursed secretly in his heart: Damn it, the ball goes up, if you don't die, it's still New Year's Eve!Once it comes, it will be safe, with my ability, I don't believe that I can't survive!

After cursing this sentence in his heart, Yu Xiaotian's mood improved a lot, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking that if he survives a catastrophe, there must be a future blessing!Since I was chosen by this thief to throw into this era, and I have not been drowned on the spot, then I am not sure that I will be able to do something earth-shattering in the future!

Thinking of this, he picked up the big bowl and put it to his mouth, regardless of the taste of the rice, he held his breath and began to shove it into his mouth.

Shipowner Liu is a miser. After going out to sea, the meals for the boatmen on board are not very good. The rice is brown rice, but in order to save rice, the cook on the boat added a lot of dried shredded potatoes, fresh vegetables and There is definitely no meat, but some pickles are added to the rice, which is a bit salty. At most, some dried seaweed is added to the rice, not to mention how unpalatable the taste is.

The people on the boat are also divided into ranks. As the owner of the ship, he will definitely not eat such meals. Captain Liu himself eats specially made white rice, and there are special side dishes. Depending on their importance on the ship, the meals are also different. For important members like the helmsman, a piece of salted fish or bacon is occasionally added to the potato rice, while those with low status can only Eat potato shreds rice without meat.

And Yu Xiaotian is currently the person with the lowest status on the ship. His position on the ship is a handyman. Shredded Potato Rice.

Although Yu Xiaotian felt disgusted looking at this bowl of rice, he did not stop eating it because of this. During the few days of drifting after falling into the sea, his body consumed a lot of physical energy, but he did not get any nutrition. Supplementation caused him to be severely dehydrated and very weak when he was rescued.

So now Yu Xiaotian is very clear that if he wants to survive in this era, his health is the most basic condition, so he doesn't care about the taste of the food on board, as long as the meal is served, he will eat as much as possible and strive to eat more. So much nutrition, so in the past two days, under his violent eating, his originally very weak body began to recover quickly, so that the people on the boat laughed and called him a dumb foodie because he ate too much!

Yu Xiaotian is too lazy to care about those boatmen for the time being, he just eats when he has food and does work when he has time to do it. When Captain Liu watched him eat, his flesh hurts, but after he regains his strength, he can start to help When working on the boat, it is quite comforting!

Although Yu Xiaotian was not very tall in the old time and space, at most he was of average height, but most ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty were short because of their diet, so Xiaotian is considered a big man in this era.

In addition to the era in which Yu Xiaotian lived, the nutritional structure of food was quite good. In addition, Yu Xiaotian practiced martial arts since he was a child, so his physical fitness is very good, and he is also very strong. Compared with the boatmen on the boat, his strength is It was also much bigger. The reason why Shipowner Liu kept him was probably because he liked his body to a large extent, and wanted to pick up a free labor for nothing!

And what surprised Yu Xiaotian secretly today was that he found that after two days of recuperation, not only had his physical fitness been recovered, but he also seemed to be stronger than before. Some heavy things on the boat , he originally estimated that it would take a lot of effort to move it, but today he found that it didn't take much effort when he actually moved it, which surprised him a bit.

He originally wanted to exercise his arms and legs to see if the strength and speed of his fists and kicks could also be improved, but considering that the people on board did not trust him right now, he had already stated that he would not use fists and kicks. Once he used his fists and kicks, it would definitely cause panic on board People misunderstood him as a bad pirate, and if they made a collective decision to throw him into the sea, they would be wronged!

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian had no choice but to give up this idea, and when working on the boat, he deliberately concealed part of his strength, pretending to be working very hard, so that the people on the boat were not even more vigilant against him.

After eating, Yu Xiaotian packed up the bowls and chopsticks and sent them to the stern of the boat. The people on the boat laughed and called him a dumb foodie, but he also pretended not to hear it, thinking that these guys were farting. After throwing the bowls to the cook, he turned and went back to the boat Head, to help tidy up the cables piled up at the bow.

After two days of observation on the boat, he gradually understood what the boat and these people were doing.

At first, after taking a rough look at the boat, he thought it was probably a coastal fishing boat, and the people on board were all fishermen, but soon he discovered that the boat looked like a fishing boat on the surface, There were fish piled on the boat, but the people on the boat didn't seem to be interested in fishing. Even if they saw fish schools appearing beside the boat, they turned a blind eye to them and continued to sail towards the south, dodging along the way. Try to avoid the coastline along the way and stay on the edge of the coastline.

Later, through observation and listening to the conversations of the people on the boat, Yu Xiaotian realized that this boat was not a fishing boat at all, but a smuggling business under the guise of a fishing boat!After knowing these things, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing secretly, it turns out that this group of people are actually his colleagues in future generations!

Although Yu Xiaotian is a science student, it doesn't mean that he knows nothing about history. When he was in middle school and high school, there were history classes in the school. Yu Xiaotian learned some things through these history textbooks. In addition, like many men, he is usually more interested in historical and military affairs. When he is free, he also strolls around the Internet, reading some historical novels or historical and military affairs.

Therefore, he also has a little understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty. Based on his understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty was relatively strong in the early days, it began to decline rapidly after the middle period.

He doesn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that what he knows most is some things in the late Ming Dynasty. In addition, he also knows something about the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the sea. It stands to reason that for a long time in Chinese history, navigation technology Being at the forefront of the world, during the Song and Yuan dynasties, China's navigation industry achieved unprecedented development, which even Western countries could not catch up with.

But after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the situation changed a lot. After Zhu Chongba came to power, it may be because he was a farmer and he didn't know the sea too much, or it might be because of other reasons. In short, Zhu Yuanzhang was very familiar with navigation. He didn't catch a cold, and the Japanese invaders began to appear along the coast and often harassed the coastal areas, so Comrade Zhu Chongba simply ordered that no sail should enter the sea, and he passed on this as the ancestor's instruction.

Although Zhu Di did not know why during Ming Chengzu’s period, he actually sent Zheng He to the South Seas seven times, creating the most magnificent ancient voyage record in Chinese history, but after Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty banned the sea again, which ended up killing China’s advanced navigation and shipbuilding. Technology has enabled the Chinese people's achievements in the sea to be quickly surpassed by some newly rising countries in the West, so that in the Wanli period, whether it was the Portuguese, the Spaniards, or even the Dutch and the British, etc. The ship sailed to the coast of China.

However, the Ming court and even the official government did not wake up to this. They turned a deaf ear to the era of great geographical discovery that was taking place in the world, and still implemented the policy of closing the country. Change the sea closure policy.

Afterwards, the Manchu and Qing Tartars entered the customs and adopted a stricter sea closure policy, so the two dynasties worked together to completely kill China's navigation industry.

So in this era, although the problem of Japanese pirates is not very serious anymore, Daming has not completely relaxed the sea ban, which has caused many merchants along the coast to take risks and risk being caught for the sake of high profits from maritime trade. Ship the goods on land and ship them to overseas without permission.

Obviously, this boat owner Liu is one of them. He uses the boats he owns to go out to sea for business under the guise of a fishing boat. As for the boatmen on board, some of them are his servants, and some of them are hired by him. Employees, just do things for him.

On the contrary, Yu Xiaotian's current status is rather special, he is neither regarded as Captain Liu's domestic slave nor employed, he is just a non-staffed boatman, to put it bluntly, he is the handyman of this boat!

(Today's New Year's Day is the beginning of a year, and it will also be a brand new beginning for everyone. Here, the cold wind wishes all friends a happy family, all the best, wishes come true, and work smoothly! Good luck Yes! Because I have something to do in the afternoon, now I update two chapters at a time! I hope my friends will stand up firmly! Please!)
