Chapter 1,788 Big Food, Ecstatic Horn Wind

People say that the sea is endless and blue.

But the sea at the moment was rough and scary.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning could be seen falling from time to time.

Boom!

On the sea, two hundred ships were bobbing helplessly in the wind and waves.

A wave hit, and the ship sank suddenly, then floated up again.

"God damn it... ugh!"

Dulin felt like he was going to die in the cabin.

As soon as the boat moved, he rolled a few times and then vomited...

Another move and he rolled again...

The cabin was full of his vomit, and the smell was extremely sour.

"Boom!"

The thunder seemed to be in his ears, and Du Lin felt that he could no longer stay inside.

People who don't go to sea often are naturally afraid of the sea. In such a storm, I felt that the boat and people would sink to the bottom of the sea in the next moment.

"You can't die here!"

Du Lin opened the hatch, and a blast of salty sea breeze mixed with some sea water rushed in.

"What a thief!"

Du Lin raised his head and glanced outside, then a wave hit, the ship sank suddenly, and he rolled out.

"Help!"

He rolled all the way, and just as he was about to meet the Sea Dragon King, the ship floated up again, so he rolled back again.

He hugged the mast, but found that there was always a boatman here.

The boatman was tied to the mast with a rope and shouted: "Unofficial Du, go back quickly!"

"What about you?" Somehow, Du Lin felt that he shouldn't abandon the boatman. He picked up the rope with difficulty and tried to untie it.

"No, Mr. Du, you can't untie it." The boatman stretched out his hand to wipe the seawater from his face and shouted: "This is what villains do."

Even if there is a storm, someone must be left on the deck to observe. This person is the unlucky guy. If he is unlucky, he will be a corpse when we see him again.

This kind of work is decided by drawing lots, and life and death are left to God.

"This storm is too big." Du Lin felt that he was unlucky. Thinking of what Shen An said at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Shen Long Tu said that encountering wind and waves at sea is bad luck. It will be difficult to encounter it next time, but how did we encounter it?"

The boatman glanced at him and shouted: "This is not a big storm, it's just ordinary."

In the wind and waves, you must shout, otherwise others will not hear what you are saying.

Du Lin asked: "Isn't this big?"

The boatman pointed forward, "Look!"

Ahead was a warship. Dulin followed the boatman's arms and saw a thin man standing on the deck.

"It's Marquis Chang Jun!" On the deck of the warship in front, the thin man was holding the rope in his hand, standing there firmly, with a tall and straight posture.

"Tell them we can get there!"

The current sea conditions made it impossible to shout, so the two sergeants climbed to the bow of the ship, turned around, and the sergeant with a rope tied around his waist began to wave a small flag.

At this moment, semaphore is the most reliable.

The small flag wavered with difficulty.

"We...we can get through!"

The boatman tied to the mast shouted the flag, and Du Lin felt warm in his heart.

"Commander Du, this is really not a big storm."

The boatman felt that Du Lin was just a native wandering around in small rivers and ditches, and he really had never seen any big scenes.

"Is it almost time for the feast?"

Du Lin wanted to go back, but the wind and waves were a bit strong at the moment. He was worried that he would fall, so he pretended to be a tough guy and held on.

The boatman didn't even think about it, "Come on, I've specially reserved the cargo for a feast this time. Du Yuanwai, is this intentional?"

Du Lin shook his head and said, "Marquis Chang Jun said he would sell some on the way back. I came to Dashi to pay a visit."

The boatman suddenly laughed, showing his yellow teeth, "Exceptor Du, this big food... is our enemy! Think about it, they used to do most of the maritime trade in the Song Dynasty, but now they are disrupted by Shen Longtu. , will they be willing?

That’s a big deal! "

The boatman said proudly: "I have been on the boat for many years. Shen Longtu paid a lot of money to build the boat. I knew this day would come."

Huh!

Does this person actually have such knowledge?

Du Lin asked: "What day?"

The boatman said: "The day of the big fight. Do you think that the cannibal has no chance to make money? As the saying goes, ruining a person's wealth is like killing his parents, how can the cannibal endure it?" Du Lin just asked for words. Unexpectedly, the boatman spoke in such a logical and logical manner, he couldn't help but praise: "Some insight."

He's focusing on this now.

Chang Jianren in front was the one in charge, so he didn't know the specific plan and could only leave it to fate.

But thinking about the trading results of this trip, Du Lin couldn't help but said happily: "Sure enough, sea trade makes money. I used to just sit back and watch the sky."

"There is light ahead!"

At some point, the wind and waves gradually subsided.

Someone was shouting. Du Lin stood up and saw a gap in the clouds in the distance, revealing a ray of blue.

"The scout ship will be sent out immediately."

Chang Jianren calmly gave the order, and a sergeant behind him brought a towel. He took it and wiped his hair and face casually.

"look!"

"it's beautiful!"

The dark clouds in front gradually broke through, and the intoxicating blue light shone down, wisps after wisps.

"There's land ahead!"

Chang Jianren had already seen it, and he said coldly: "Be on guard, surround the merchant ships in the middle, and everyone is in position! Tell them that the feast is here!"

This was the first time that the navy of the Song Dynasty went out so far, and the soldiers began to appear on the deck in formation.

There are some scattered buildings in front, and some curious people can be seen walking towards the shore.

"Is this Dashi?"

Dulin couldn't help but be intoxicated when he looked at those exotic buildings.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, that’s it.

He thought of a poem, but he kept holding it back but couldn't get it out.

"Raise the flag of the Song Dynasty."

Chang Jianren had already changed into a suit of armor and smiled as he looked at the warships swarming out from the dock. "Send the order. If you are attacked, you can fight back."

"Marquis, how far will the counterattack go?"

Chang Jianren turned around and looked at the general who spoke, "There is no limit."

The generals were all delighted. For them, going to war was the only way to go. Only by going to war could the navy continue to move out.

The most critical thing is funding.

According to Shen An's words, navy soldiers are stepmothers and have to support themselves.

But the navy has to ask for permission to spend money!

If the superiors don't agree, can they still force the construction of larger warships?

Moreover, Shen An said last time that there will be more powerful warships in the future that can sail quickly without wind.

Several generals were muttering.

"Ships like those mentioned by Shen Longtu don't rely on the wind to sail, so what do they rely on?"

"have no idea.

"Look, the navy is attacking."

The navy of the Song Dynasty attacked.

With the sound of horns, three warships rushed out, looking like three angry fighting dogs.

People on every ship are raising flags.

"pull!"

The song flag slowly climbed up.

The flag flapped in the wind.

"Prepare for war!"

Du Lin was also holding a long knife and looking coldly ahead.

More than a dozen large food warships are accelerating.

The wind was quite strong at the moment, so it looked astonishingly powerful.

But Da Song was not in a hurry.

"Trebuchet ready..."

The soldiers put the kerosene bombs and gunpowder cans in their pockets in an orderly manner, holding large lit incense sticks in their hands, just waiting for the order to be issued.

The crossbowmen have already begun to form a formation, and some sergeants are holding hooks and sickles, just waiting to pull back the enemy's warships.

Everything is ready.

The Song Dynasty fleet is like a hungry man, and those large food warships are like beautiful women, rushing to deliver food at lightning speed.

hehe!

Chang Jianren smiled. The generals behind him all knew that this was preparation before the war.

"They slowed down!"

The Great Food Warship slowed down, and then began to turn towards the two wings of the Great Song Fleet.

"Stop them!"

Chang Jianren's attitude is extremely tough.

The test warship in the middle was also quietly prepared. The hatch had been opened, and the cannon revealed its ferocious face.

The warships of the Song Army came forward to intercept the Dashi warship, and the two sides began to confront each other.

"Let them come!"

Chang Jianren felt particularly comfortable as the sea breeze blew.

"Marquis Jun, the wind is really comfortable today!"

Not just Chang Jianren, everyone is taking a deep breath and feeling very comfortable.

A warship soon came over there.

The cannibal's warship is not big, and looks a bit dwarfed in front of the latest warships of the Song Dynasty.

A large food general asked questions on the bow of the ship, and the interpreter was at the side to translate.

"Why are the Song navy troops here?"

Chang Jianren said calmly: "The navy of the Song Dynasty escorted the merchant fleet to sail for trade."

General Dashi looked at the dozens of warships and couldn't help but take a breath.

What the hell!

The Song people used sixty or seventy warships to escort them. Where could there be such powerful pirates along the way?

This is a bad sign!

The general smiled and said: "Trading is allowed, but the sergeants are not allowed to leave the dock."

He said this very firmly.

Look at those Song people, their swords and guns are sharp, what are they...

Oh my God!

There are so many crossbows. Are they for trade?

I bet that these Song people are here to cause trouble!

Damn it!

The general hurriedly led his people back.

Once on the dock, he ordered: "Keep an eye on the Song people."

He needed to report the news quickly.

Song Dynasty's fleet slowly docked, and the big cannibals were talking about it.

"Where is our merchant ship? Isn't it supposed to be back?"

"Yes! At this moment, they disappeared, but the Song people came."

"People from the Song Dynasty actually came to trade with us. This is not good news!"

A group of businessmen came over after hearing the news. They were silent at first, and then began to discuss.

"My judgment is that the Song Dynasty is dissatisfied."

"What's their complaint?"

"Because we control trade and don't want them to interfere with those trade routes. The Song people's...the county prince is not the one who has threatened us. He said that as friends, we should open up the trade routes, but once we open up the trade routes... road……"

"Once the trade routes are opened, with the strength of the Song people, of course they will eat meat, and we can only eat soup."

"Then do you want to do this business?"

"Of course I do. If you don't make money, you are crazy."

"Yes! Even if we want to fight, it will have to be after doing business, right?"

"Of course, then... let's go meet the merchants from the east."

The fleet docked, but the warships chose to dock in batches for repairs.

Merchants began to move their goods ashore, and the souks began.

Du Lin felt that this form was too unreliable. When he thought about it, UU Reading www.uukｎｈｈｔｔｔ There must be a market for this kind of trade between the two countries, right?

Without a market, you have to at least have a shed, right?

But there is nothing here.

Just open air.

"How much is this piece of satin?"

There are already big food merchants asking about the price.

After all, Du Lin was the junior brother and was a little embarrassed to bid. The guy next to him said: "Fifty guan."

wipe!

Du Lin almost blushed.

Didn't we just agree to thirty strings?

You can sell it for twenty guan.

After all, in the Song Dynasty, this kind of silk and satin only cost two guans of money a piece.

But those big food merchants were hesitant.

"Our people originally came back and sold us just over forty horses, but the Song people actually wanted fifty."

"Some people say that in the Song Dynasty, this kind of silk satin only costs ten pieces."

"Who are you telling this to? Our people came back and sold a horse for more than 40 yuan. The Song people said that 50 yuan was just a fictitious thing, so they just bargained for it."

In Dashi, there is one group of merchants going to the east, and one group going to the other end. Both groups of people are second-rate traders. Those who went to the Song Dynasty were also ruthless, and even sold them at a shady price after returning to China.

So Da Shiren was hesitating, "How about... Forty-One Guan? To be honest, you guys are really not that good at silk fabrics. Look here, there are... they don't even look alive."

The ability to find fault with others is a businessman's instinct.

After the businessman finished picking the thorn, he looked at Du Lin with disgust.

Forty-one?

There was only one voice in Dulin's mind.

——This is a stick!

Du Lin looked at these big food merchants as if he were looking at little golden men walking one by one.

Developed, someone is developed!

Seeing his strange expression, the big food merchant asked: "What are you..."

"Sheep's horn wind!"

The ecstasy in Du Lin's heart could hardly be suppressed, and he could only use this problem to excuse himself.
