The old man, the ships were used by foreigners to make money. It is said that gold and silver were transported from the east of the mouth of Ten Thousand Jia Taizhou, and then replaced them with silk, porcelain and spices in our Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asia, and then transported them back to the local area. This took about a year to go.

The officials and generals from Guangdong and Fujian all regarded Yu Da Enemy as a military god. The Qianzhang of the Guangdong Navy did not expect to see Yu Daxian when he came to Tianjin Wei. The so-called Yu Long and Qi Hu, Yu Da Enemy's status was still before Qi Jiguang. This Qianzhang was very excited and respectful and attentive.

Walk into the cabin below from the deck. You can see a cannon on the cannon seat. There are thick ropes at both ends of the cannon seat and wooden frames on both sides of the window. This is for stopping the back seat of the cannon after firing.

"There are two layers below, and the second layer is also placed with artillery. The third layer is full of cargo. In addition to the places where sailors live, the third layer cabins all place goods, food and water."

This Qiang President may not be so knowledgeable. I think he has learned a lot on the boat in the past few months, and Wang Tongting is focused.

According to his judgment, such a ship should be the most advanced type of ship of this era. The white people in Europe rely on it to travel across the ocean and conquer countries and nations.

Yu Daxian seemed not to be listening to Mr. Qian's introduction. He was a little fascinated since he was by the side of the ship. After walking into the cabin on the first floor, he saw the cannons and walked up to touch the cannon body.

Mr. Qian said a few words, but I don’t know how the topic changed to entering Macau. When talking about the performance of his own army and the chief general, he was in front of Yu Daji, who had been respected for a long time. Mr. Qian was preaching with a sarcasm:

"The day before yesterday, Lord Chen asked our boat to dress up as a fishing boat and merchant ship to enter Macau. If he did something, would the Guangdong Navy do it?"

While he was talking happily, Yu Daxian looked down at the cannon and said something like this. President Qian stopped and stammered for a few words, but he still couldn't say anything big.

"If you can't beat it, you can only use the fireboat to get close to it, but can the opponent's so many cannons make you lean over? The opponent is a soft sail. The sea breeze swells and runs faster than you. At that time, I'm afraid it's too late to jump the gang, so I'll be bombed down."

Yu Daxian's inexplicable words became fierce and the little Qian was lowered and he didn't dare to speak back. Every sentence Yu Dazhu said was a matter, and Chen Zi had also said similar things.

Soft sails, Yu Dayu said, Wang Tongcai remembered that when he boarded the ship, he saw that the masts of the foreign ship were sails made of canvas material, while the sails on the Guang and Fu ships were made of materials similar to mats. He didn't know much about the ship, but according to basic knowledge, the area of ​​soft sails was large, and it seemed that the area of ​​wind was large, so it was estimated that the degree would be faster when the wind was smooth.

"The artillery of the foreign ships is so sharp, how can the Ming navy resist it? The court is unwilling to spend an extra penny on the sea

Yu Dazhuozhe slapped the cannon, his voice gradually trembling and hoarse, and in the end he kept muttering:

“How to do it, how to do it,”

Yu Daxian was born in Hongzhi in the 16th year. He is now seventy-five years old. He is old. His body and spirit can no longer bear too much impact. He muttered a few words and then fell to one side. Fortunately, Mr. Qian and Wang Tong were beside him, and they were neat and quickly stepped forward to support the person.

Wang Tong hurriedly called out the guards, and everyone found a wooden board in the cabin to put the old man on it, and carefully carried it out. After the incident was disturbed, Wang Tong lost the mood to continue watching and walked out with him.

After going out, the old man kept muttering "How to do it" in a low voice. Wang Tong was a little confused and got off the boat. He called the carriage to drive over and found a doctor nearby to take a look.

Wang Tong stood on the shore and watched the carriage go away. Suddenly he felt something. Looking back, he saw the Portuguese ship. This ship was larger than those lucky ships with a capacity of more than a thousand materials. The dark muzzle showed that it had powerful firepower. This was the most advanced maritime weapon of this era.

While he was feeling, Wang Tong suddenly realized that this ship was indeed a symbol of advancedness, but it was not a ship of the Ming Dynasty. It was a foreign ship. A foreign country that could cause danger to the coast of the Ming Dynasty at any time. Yu Daxian, who had been working for the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense for half his life, would naturally be shocked and mourned when he saw such a powerful sea weapon.

Since the Jiajing period, the coastal officials and civilians of the Ming Dynasty began to see these Western armed merchant ships, but no one ever thought of imitating and learning. Until many years later, the Opium War, the country's border was opened in humiliation, and even those with zero historical knowledge would know the national humiliation in that life.

Inexplicably, I remembered something I had heard in history class that year. In the late Qing Dynasty, Hu Linyi saw a foreign steamship on the river and vomiting blood and falling from his horse. It seemed to be somewhat consistent with Mr. Yu's reaction just now.

"That person is about to put on his clothes. Is it good to jump naked?!"

Wang Tong's thoughts were interrupted by the shouts in the quarantine area there. He looked at the soldiers who were shouting loudly in the foreigners there, and then looked back at the only soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on duty. A smile gradually appeared on his face.

"I'm here, everything is naturally different."

No one heard this sentence.

The blacksmith Bamond is a real person. Wang Tong originally planned to take care of the mama in the mansion, find a house to find a few people to serve him and let his master live.

Unexpectedly, after two days of meals in the mansion, Bamond was going out on the third day. When asked why, he said that he was used to being busy every day, and he was uncomfortable all over. He had meat, wine, and comfortable living on the left and right. He also had to find a blacksmith to make a living.

"Now Wang Tong, you have money and are also a high-ranking official. You can open a blacksmith workshop here. I also want to hire a few apprentices to help you and live a comfortable life as a workshop owner."

Bamond's request was really simple. Wang Tong could only agree with a smile, but he still lived next to the mansion. There were no female relatives in the family who asked for food. They all called them to eat together.

"Master, you ran out of your house and came to the Ming Dynasty for what are you doing!" It was almost November, and steaming dishes such as shabu shabu began to appear on the dining table. Bamond was smiling. Wang Tong took two bites and asked casually.

"Didn't you tell me before? At that time, I accidentally killed a master's hunting master. I was afraid of being investigated, so the recruited sailor came to Dongfang. When I arrived in Macau, the captain died of illness, so I stayed."

Wang Tong picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Bamond. Of course he still remembered this matter. He asked this to cause trouble. Wang Tong continued to ask with a smile:

"What about the others? What about the sailors on that big ship? What about the soldiers?"

Bamond picked up a chopstick of mutton, and put it in the dipping dish with a smile. In the hot places in Macau, the Han people's food would not have such dishes as shabu-shabu. Bamond liked it as soon as he ate it, and now he had every meal. When he heard Wang Tong's inquiry, he chewed and said vaguely:

"Why can you make money and wealth? It is said that gold and treasures are everywhere in the east. After you come, you can get rich. Many people come here. After you come, you don't see gold and treasures. But the wages earned by craftsmen in Macau are four to five times that of their hometowns. You can also save a lot of money in a few years. The same is true for sailors and soldiers. You make more money here than in the United States and Zhejiang.

Wang Tong poured himself a glass of wine, drank it leisurely, and said with a smile:

"Here's here to make money, that's easy to say!"

The current mentality of the Portuguese Xunya craftsmen and soldiers who came to Tianjin Wei was just uneasy. The fear of the time when they boarded the boat has now become much numb.

After several months of sailing at sea, the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom did not move even though they were strict. After coming to Tianjin Wei, the first thing they encountered was to take a bath, change clothes and disinfect. This is normal. If they were to be killed or treated cruelly, they would have to take action long ago. Now they are isolated, but I don’t know what to do to catch everyone in the north of Ming Kingdom for so much effort.

After all, the officers, officials, priests and merchants in Macau did not touch each other, but they were all craftsmen, soldiers and non-commissioned officers. What are the uses of these people?

After five days of quarantine, some people came to get off their cotton robes and some brought them thick bedding. This treatment made everyone feel much more at ease. Sometimes they were talking and laughing, and sometimes some people looked up to see the distance. There seemed to be an extremely prosperous city to the west.

After ten days of isolation, the blacksmith who was taken away first came. She dressed like a rich man from the Ming Dynasty. Everyone wondered whether the blacksmith had met the Ming nobles and suddenly became rich.

The blacksmith did not enter the isolation area, but instead held a smoothbore gun outside the fence of the isolation area and asked who knew how to make and repair this weapon.

If you admit it correctly, this smoothbore gun is the weapon of a soldier in the isolation area. When everyone was locked in the isolation area, the soldier pointed at it.

Two weapon craftsmen said tremblingly that they could repair and manufacture them, and were taken out of the isolation area. They didn't know where they went. There was no news for three days. When everyone started to have a bad guess, the two weapon craftsmen came back with two small boxes.

Everyone was puzzled by the treacherous and confused. The two craftsmen also had a sleepwalking look on their faces. After the Ming soldiers who brought them back left, everyone immediately surrounded them.

"What did you give birth, what did you give birth?"

Everyone asked, and the two craftsmen were trembling and unable to speak, but just put down the box and opened it. Everyone was stunned when they saw the things in the box.

The box is full of silver lights and silver connections.”
