Chapter 1163: The incomparable ship(1/2)
Once upon a time, scum on earth was an insulting word.
But with the rise of the king of scum on earth, it is said that this word has become a symbol of blessing in the hearts of countless crew members.
Many seafarers' families even carved wooden signs at their own homes that the king of scumbags in the world would not serve, hoping to bless their close relatives who set sail to sea.
These seven words have become totems and a spirit, which is the indomitable spirit of the entire Ming people who resolutely set sail to the sea, fight against the sea beasts, and spread their footprints throughout the world and five continents.
People looked at Wang Bushi enviously.
Suddenly there is a kind of thing that can be scolded and even brought to history. This world is so exciting.
...
Now, a new idea emerged in everyone's mind.
This thing is so huge, won’t it really sink?
Looks like...unreliable.
Especially a large chimney, standing on the boat, looking very blinking.
People raised their telescopes one after another.
At this time, a large number of carefully selected sailors and crew members were already riding on sampans and heading towards the giant ship.
They rowed and splashed water lines on the sea.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were radiating in excitement, and he volunteered: "Father, my son is going to board the ship, too."
Emperor Hongzhi's face sank.
This guy... wants to cause trouble again.
Zhu Houzhao looked bitter, "Please rest assured, my father, I have prepared a search and rescue ship nearby. A few days ago, I learned to swim, and now it's no problem. Besides, this steam ship is the hard work of me for several years. In order to build this ship, I'm scouring every day, and I haven't eaten a good meal or slept well. My father, there is no danger, I'll be on this ship anyway..."
Emperor Hongzhi pondered, silently.
Fang Jifan also said: "Your Majesty, my son wants to board the ship."
"Why?" Seeing Fang Jifan rarely spoke. Fang Jifan used to be chattering, but in recent days, he was taciturn. Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little relieved when he saw him talking.
Fang Jifan said: "This ship was built by Erchen who allocated nearly ten million taels of silver. Erchen also wanted to board the ship and wanted to see what this sea looked like."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned.
He could understand Fang Jifan's mood. His father died in a foreign land and died thousands of miles away.
A son of man may just want to board a ship and pay tribute to memorials.
Although this kid is very strong on the surface, Hongzhi knew that this guy must be anxious.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: It will take some time for such a large ship to sink."
Zhu Houzhao felt a headache when she heard the word "Shen".
Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes and faced the sea breeze: "This ship was built by my son and son-in-law. How can I not trust them? I will board the ship if I come."
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing, who was standing beside him, was scared. He didn't want to be a guinea pig. If Your Majesty boarded the ship, wouldn't he follow him too?
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can his Majesty’s son, who is a daughter, be in danger?
Xiao Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that all the officials will definitely want to..."
He didn't dare to say that he wanted to dissuade His Majesty, so he simply pulled out all the officials.
Emperor Hongzhi looked coldly: "Whoever wants to dissuade me, then go board the ship with me to dissuade me. Whatever I do is wrong, but if it matches their wishes, then the Nine Five Lords are just a doll in the palace. If you don't board the ship, don't I know the suffering of the military and civilians? I am a real dragon, how can I have the truth that the sea water floods the real dragon?"
It actually makes sense.
Although feudal superstition is not acceptable.
But in this era, even those who do not believe in ghosts and gods prefer various beautiful meanings.
After Emperor Hongzhi gave the order, Zhu Houzhao was excited and asked someone to prepare a sampan. Emperor Hongzhi boarded the ship first. Zhu Houzhao, Fang Jifan, Xiao Jing and several personal guards also went up one after another.
Emperor Hongzhi sat in the middle of the sampan, looking graceful.
Fang Jifan sat at the top of the sampan, clenched his nose and looked at the sea and sky in the distance, as if he could penetrate the other side of the Pacific Ocean at one glance.
Zhu Houzhao immediately grinned, and while taking the slurry, directing Xiao Jing and others, whispering the boatman and whispering, he was very dissatisfied.
There is a sampan and more than a dozen people row together, which is called working together.
This is fine, why did you get to my own place and get the sampan? There is no movement in the sampan?
It's not just Xiao Jing's dog is paddling, but there are two people on this sampan who are only responsible for carrying loads but are here to have a good meal.
As a last resort, Zhu Houzhao took off the python robe on her body, revealing his strong biceps, screaming, and swinging the oars and rowing desperately.
On the other side... on the viewing platform, the officials were marveling at him and talking all kinds of gossip.
I have to say that the scholars and officials are still very leisurely and unique. They sit here, take a breather, and look at the scenery with their telescopes. This day will pass.
But at this moment, someone suddenly said, "Your Majesty... Where did Your Majesty go?"
Everyone cheered up and picked up telescopes to search.
Suddenly, someone wailed: "Your Majesty... He got on the sampan and headed towards the giant ship."
Suddenly, the happy mood disappeared and everyone was stunned.
Your Majesty...what is going to make trouble again?
Why do you think that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Fang surname are becoming more and more like human traffickers. Now they are lying His Majesty, going to the sky and into the sea, doing whatever they want!
But now... the sampan is far away, and through the sea, everyone can only stomp their feet and scold them.
…………
The sampan approached the giant ship.
At this time, someone had already hung down the basket on the giant ship.
Several people got on the basket and hung directly onto the huge ship.
If you don't get close to this ship and stay in it, you will not be able to discover the majesty of this ship.
Emperor Hongzhi went to the deck and looked at the vast ocean from here. He found that the scenery was completely different and his mood changed accordingly.
There seemed to be thousands of tides under his feet, striking the hull, but the hull was still standing tall, but... Emperor Hongzhi still felt that there was a bit of shaking under his feet.
A large number of military officers on the ship came and shouted loudly: "The sail cabin is assembled."
"The pipe wheel compartment has been assembled."
"Archive cabin preparation."
"The boiler cabin is ready..."
Zhu Houzhao no longer cared about Emperor Hongzhi and was excited on the deck. This was made by himself, his own.
He jumped happily on the deck: "Rise the anchor, raise the anchor, drop the sail, prepare to open the furnace, take the chart, follow the designated route, prepare to set off!"
The sails fell.
Pull up the anchor.
The ship began to shake.
Immediately afterwards, a rumbling sound came from a lower level.
Fang Jifan looked into the distance with a dazed look.
There are fewer boilers.
Immediately afterwards, thick smoke began to emerge from the chimney.
The entire hull shook slightly, and it seemed that the transmission system began to move.
Immediately afterwards, the hull tilted slightly to one side.
Emperor Hongzhi was frightened and his face looked like earth.
Xiao Jing even screamed.
Fang Jifan said calmly: "This is turning..."
The sea boat was under the ship with a sharp bottom. At this moment, the huge hull began to cut the sea water and slowly rolled out the waves.
Zhu Houzhao was nervously in the boiler cabin, with a large number of people constantly replenishing coal.
The hull began to rumble, but soon, the hull began to move and its speed gradually began to increase. Zhu Houzhao rushed out of the cabin excitedly. Then, he saw the land of Tianjin Port, and it began to go further and further with him.
Theory... turns into reality.
Zhu Houzhao faced the sea breeze, and tears were almost coming out. He screamed strangely: "Hahahaha... People coming, people coming, and a group of dogs, all moved me, hahaha..."
He opened his arms wildly to welcome the sea breeze, like the Titanic male lead Jack.
Unexpectedly, my soles were unstable and I fell directly. I rolled on the deck twice, but I stood up as if I was fine.
…………
The personnel from all over the ship were already in place, and everyone performed their own duties.
To be continued...
