open sea

Chapter 1531 Title
Along the way, it feels so different.

Asubatul had never been on a ship several times in his long life in the past, but this time he took almost all the ship types in the world.

He followed the envoy to board the boat from the mouth of the river. He took a standard Chinese-style boat, but it was a civilian ship developed by the Dongyang Military Government. It has the characteristics of heavy load, small crew, fast speed, easy control, and low cost. It's called Dongyang Ship.

This kind of boat is not born for fighting, but for comfort and control.

Incorporating the water draping board of the northern shark ship, the rudder with a prismatic hole is not afraid of large resistance and cannot rotate when the downwind speed is fast;
There is also the open-hole rudder of Nanfang Guangchuan. When the headwind lateral force occurs, the water-covered board can increase the resistance and reduce the lateral drift of the hull.

One main mast and four asymmetric auxiliary masts increase the wind receiving area and ensure the speed.

Boat design focuses on achieving a balance of cost, size, performance, and comfort.

Only 24 crew members can move this big guy on the sea with a load of 39 shi. Even with the addition of 150 Franco cannons for hitting people, and [-] guards, [-] crew members can still carry it. Under the condition of [-] tons of cargo, everyone has a cabin to sleep.

The atmosphere on the boat is undoubtedly relaxed and happy. Previously, Asubatul came with the European fleet, and the lack of independent cabins during the long voyage almost drove him crazy. place.

In his eyes, these Daming people know life very well, there are even teahouses and gardens on board.

It's not a boat ride at all, it's a treat.

In fact, he misunderstood, the tea room on the ship is a real tea room, but the garden is not a garden, but a vegetable field.

Because the Oriental ship was not equipped with General Zhenshuo’s cannon, its firepower was insufficient, and the owner of the ship was from Fujian, who was related to Lu Tong, the commander of Shiyin’s Fujian capital. The furthest I have ever been is to transport cattle in Argentina.

The distance of that route is not shorter than running to Europe, but the scenery along the coast is good, the hydrology is more stable, the light is suitable and the temperature is suitable, the ship is spacious, and the crew are all from Daming. Can we get a vegetable patch?
However, as soon as it approached Daxigang, it seemed a bit heavily guarded.

The port is surrounded by seven small islands not far from each other in the sea. Fortifications are built on each island. The port is even more proudly guarded by guards. In addition to the red-armored guards holding muskets, there are also black-clothed guards everywhere. guard.

It's like entering Spain.

This is the kind of swordsman in black who runs all over the streets in Spain, but here they are not swordsmen, but musketeers and archers.

Almost every ten steps, one post, five steps and one post, and in the distance there are troops wearing dark blue uniforms and red armors training, which made Asubatuer, who just entered the town from the bustling sea with hundreds of boats, feel very nervous, even though he knew I'm not the enemy, but I just feel nervous.

Especially when they knew that the soldiers on this land were not friendly to foreigners, the accident at the mouth of the Mississippi also proved the consistent attitude of the Ming army—they couldn’t be sure whether every foreigner was friendly to this land. There is coveting, so I would rather kill [-] people by mistake than let one person go.

Anxiety and fear are uncontrollable.

Fortunately, because of the official documents of the military government office and the night refusal of the two Makino right guards, the guards of the inspection department did not conduct more interrogations on him and his five entourages. After the formal inspection, the inspection department quickly deployed war horses , to issue a customs clearance document, so that his party can go unimpeded on the way to Mo County.

What he saw and heard along the way was not too novel to Asubatuer. It was nothing more than feeling that Daming had built the road better. There were farmland and plantations on both sides of the road until it reached a certain critical point.

Asubadul didn't know where it was, anyway, after a very normal journey, suddenly at a certain moment, the idyllic scenery mixed with Spanish-style and Daming-style manors that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road disappeared.

Both sides of the road turned into round castles one after another, and there were even four or five connected fortresses. The fortresses also had ring after ring of countless gun ports and muzzles, which became more and more terrifying as they walked.

Just resting at the post station on the road is a bit scary, and the local people are a little too alert. When the little dolls running on the road see their faces, after a while, seven or eight big men with hair scarves carry big knives and three-pipe muskets faintly surround them .

Even scarier than being in a Christian camp.

The result was like this, and it was not surprising that the two did not accept them at night. They said that the boundary of the land was like this, and there could not be any Spaniards who had no way to sneak over, and they were arrested by the local people within twenty miles.

If they are lucky, they will be sent to the government, where they will be imprisoned for a while and then sent to Havana by sea; if they catch up with the bad-hearted of the people, they will be sold to the plantations or even mines of the native tribes in the east, and they will never get out for a lifetime.

If you run into a spy who is not so well-behaved, you may kill him on the spot, and you don't know whose land will be enriched.

Asubatuer will always remember the expressions of the two Yebushou when they said this while drinking the raspberry juice at the post station, which brought him a great shock.

The only thing he felt directly was that this place was more dangerous to the Europa people than the Crimean Khanate.

It feels like entering a battlefield.

In fact, this is indeed a battlefield, but the war is over.

Asubatuer had been looking forward to seeing Chen Mu, and finally arrived at the extremely prosperous Mo County, where the county government square was full of traffic, but was told that he would not be able to see Chen Mu for the time being.

After waiting for two full days and watching countless foreigners coming and going on the second floor of the newly built Siyi Pavilion next to the square, I finally got the news of Chen Mu's summoning.

Recently, Chen Mu has been very busy.

Philip of Spain and Nur Sutan of Ottoman reached a consensus by coincidence. Both of them attached great importance to the Congress of Nations, and at the same time, they both believed that the envoys should meet with Chen Mu before the conference.

Acosta, who represented Philip, was the first to come. They had the convenience, not to mention they were old acquaintances. They were in a hurry to meet Chen Mu. As soon as they met, they threw out a lot of things like place names, blood relations, titles, etc., hoping to get Chen Mu. Mu admitted on behalf of Daming.

Chen Mu was dazzled.

Philip thought he was not only the king of Spain, but also the king of Portugal, England, France, Austria, Naples, Jerusalem, Milan, Burgundy, Flanders, Poland and Lithuania, and many places that Chen Mu couldn't name the ruler.

If Chen Mu hadn't thought about it carefully and felt that this was a trick to pay back the money by extorting a lot of money, he would have thought that his old friend was suffering from paranoia.

Chen Mu didn't pick out places like England one by one to argue with Acosta, he said: "I agree with everything you said, and I think Emperor Ming is the ruler of Spain."

　good morning!
