Chapter 26 Chapter 132: A Spring Wind and a Leaf Boat

The mighty fleet went straight down the Yangtze River. At the mouth of the sea, it joined the forty-eight warships of Shuangyuwei who were ordered to assemble here, forming a huge and incomparable fleet, and turned to the South China Sea. The entire formation of this fleet is the outpost, the left and right front battalions, the left and right outposts that highlight the entire fleet, and finally the left and right rear outposts that are shaped like wild goose wings. In the middle are the largest treasure ships and countless merchant ships. That formation Like a giant tortoise with a mountain on its back.

Looking down from the sky, the entire fleet is covered in darkness, covering several square kilometers. Such a scene is exactly like the giant mixed fleet at sea during World War II, but at that time, the United States, Britain, Germany, Japan and other countries all had such naval fleets , but now it is the only one, there is no semicolon. For more than 100,000 miles in the sea, watch the whales and whales meet the sky, vast and endless, or the sea of ​​smoke, or the Cui Wei of wind and waves.Looking at the barbarians, they are separated from the misty haze.And my cloud sails are high, day and night stars gallop, wading through the wild waves

In the early morning, Zhang Xitong, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, stood at the bow of the boat, overlooking the sea, and couldn't help but express his poetry. Zheng He, who was next to him, couldn't help but smile a little.Zhang Shilang felt the same way when he sailed into the sea on a giant ship for the first time.But the magnificence and magnificence of the sea can only be found by those who have just set foot on the sea. Zheng He smiled slightly and thought to himself: Just wait!When the huge waves are like mountains and the boat is like a fallen leaf, when sailing for several months, looking around and looking around is boring, this Master Zhang will know that sailing is far from being as poetic as he imagined.

It was still dawn at this time, but those who went to sea for the first time got up early, waiting to see the red sun leaping out of the sea.The crew members are busy busy. Currently, the navigation methods used by Daming Navigation are mainly the nautical compass and the method of crossing the ocean and finding stars. At this time, the helmsman is keeping the stern of the ship facing the North Star, and the navigator is using the starboard to measure the horizon latitude of the North Pole. After obtaining the initial data, they will be able to keep sailing due south for a full day and night, and then proceed to another Beidou measurement.At this time, they have not yet mastered the accurate measurement method of longitude, and the determination of latitude is not based on the equator as a reference point, but is determined according to stars such as Polaris, but this is enough for them to reach the north of the equator with amazing accuracy. Arrived at the place.

Waves are coming, and there are channels for seawater on both sides of the square bow. When the waves come, they will be poured into the channels. When the bow sinks and rises, the water will be discharged from both sides. This method solves the problem of boat Therefore, the boat sailed very smoothly on the sea, so people like Zhao Zijin, who was going out to sea on a big boat for the first time, rarely felt uncomfortable. Xia Xun was on the other boat. Not all the officials knew that Duke Fu was also on the voyage to the west. Except for Zheng He, the deputy Zhang Xitong, and Xu Hu, the commander of the Shuangyu Guards, only Zhou Man and Hong Bao were there. , Zhou Wen, Yang Qing and several other major eunuchs and civil officials.

There are many officials on the main ship, so in order to keep it secret, Xia Xun lived on the battleship of Shuangyuwei, and Zhang Xitong also lived on another large ship, but he got up early to watch the sunrise, but for the sake of harmony Zheng He pulled As soon as he got closer, he excitedly ran to Zheng He's big ship. His concubine Youmeng just got up at this moment. Youmeng has no surname or name. She grew up in a brothel since she was a child. She was a famous red singing girl in the capital. Zhang Xitong returned to Nanjing from Liaodong. Only then did he redeem her body and became his concubine ever since.Zhang Xitong dotes on this Mrs. Ru very much, and she is the only concubine he takes with him during his voyage to the West.

Youmeng opened his eyes, his eyes were a little confused, and it took a while to wake up.Suddenly realizing that he was still on the boat and at sea at this moment, he couldn't help but lifted his thin quilt, jumped up happily, ran to the window with bare feet, opened the window and looked out. A fresh sea breeze blows towards her face, brushing up her hair, and the sound of the waves can be heard endlessly, Youmeng sighed a few times in admiration, and then turned around with still insatiable satisfaction.The window is on the sideboard, unexpectedly someone saw it, Youmeng lazily turned around, ready to call the servant girl to come in and wait for her to wash and make up.

Last night, I spent half the night with the master. At this time, she was really attractive. Her lower body was not naked, but she was wearing a lewd garment. Fortunately, the lewd garment was so fat that it hung down to her hips, so only a pair of beautiful white legs were exposed underneath. .Her breasts were half covered, her shiny black hair half covered her snowy and plump chest, and her charming scent was magnified by this spring shirt. Youmeng went to the table and sat down, picked up the horn comb, combed his hair in front of the bronze mirror on the table twice, suddenly screamed, threw the comb and jumped up, covered his chest and shrank to the corner, screaming: Who are you?

Tang Sai'er, dressed as a servant boy in green clothes and a small hat, sneaked into the room quietly and had been hiding for a while. She found that it was not easy to hide on this boat compared to when she was in the army. In addition, she was terrified that time. The day does not change, the children do not wash or groom for several days, only eat leftovers, and sleep in a hard corner, of course she does not want to. But she has secretly heard from the sailors on the ship that she is not really going out to sea now, and she will go to Guangzhou next. If Xia Xun finds her at this time, she will inevitably end up being escorted ashore and sent back. , so now is not the time for her to let Xia Xun know.So she sneaked into the dream room, hoping to see if there was anything she could use.

Unexpectedly, she guarded against Miss Youmeng, but she was careless for a while, and didn't notice the angle that the bronze mirror could reflect. She was caught by the girl Youmeng who was dressing up in the mirror, and Youmeng saw a figure sneaking behind her. It's been done, this scare is really no small matter, for a moment, her face pales, and her heart is beating non-stop. Hush! Tang Sai'er was also taken aback by her, quickly pointed to her lips, and whispered: "Shut up!"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Miss Youmeng looked at her intently, a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, although he was dressed as a servant in a green dress and hat, but he had red lips and white teeth, beautiful eyebrows and big eyes, clear and beautiful, charming and beautiful, such a rare and beautiful boy, he had never heard of it, never seen it before.

Miss Youmeng looked her up and down a few times, then went away timidly, faintly felt an unspeakable feeling, couldn't help puffing up her plump and alluring breasts slightly, pretending to be angry, and said coquettishly: "You little servant, who are you?" Why are you in your lord's house so rude and broke into your sister's bedroom?If I go out in public, why don't people kill you? me Tang Sai'er laughed dryly, his eyes rolled around for a while, but he couldn't think of an excuse. At this time, the cabin door knocked, and the little maid called outside: Ma'am, Ma'am, what's the matter with you? Miss Youmeng glanced at Tang Sai'er, seeing her at a loss, which made people fall in love with her at the first sight, she couldn't help defending her, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I had a nightmare and woke up with fright!" After sending the little maid away, Youmeng glanced at Tang Sai'er with a half-smile, and said: "Be honest with my sister, why did you sneak into other people's room?" The sea is flowing, and the sun is rising. That round of red sun suddenly jumped out of the sea level, and thousands of red lights immediately spread across the entire sea surface, even the big ship was bathed in a piece of red light. With bare feet, Xia Xun stood firmly on the deck of the bow, his legs squatted slightly, and his hands were like holding a ball in front of his dantian, and he was breathing slowly.It takes a long time between his exhalation and inhalation, but it will never give people a feeling of exertion. The hull of the boat was bumping slightly, and the sea breeze with a faint sea smell blew his clothes gently, but his whole body was completely relaxed, as if he had completely melted into the world. Su Ying stood quietly on the side of the boat, watching her husband practice. I believe that among the more than 30,000 people in the entire fleet, there are few people who are more familiar with the sea than her. Here, she is like a fish in water, and can integrate into it faster than anyone else, but Xia Xun can also adapt to the water so quickly. She didn't even have the slightest bit of incompatibility in her life, which made her quite admirable and strange. She can adapt to life in the sea, but God knows how long it took her to adapt to life on land, to the life of being a rich grandma in Jinling?But what about Xia Xun?No matter it is land, ocean, desert, or grassland, it seems that no matter where he goes, he can integrate into it as quickly as possible and adapt to the life there.He is as tenacious as a weed, and any environment will be conquered by him. Slowly exhaling a foul breath, Xia Xun slowly stood up straight, stretched his body a few times, stepped on the deck, and looked forward while leaning on the bow of the ship.The blue water was broken by the bow of the ship, and the white waves were constantly disillusioned and revived. Several dolphins seemed to think this was a very interesting thing. They fearlessly chased the waves at the bow and ran in front of the big ship tirelessly. Above the bow, many seabirds are singing and circling. It is not very far from the land. From a distance, you can see the looming land, but in such a morning with excellent visibility, it looks like fog and not very clear. Su Ying walked gently to his side and stood still with him. Xia Xun didn't look back, but knew that she was by his side. After a long time, Xia Xun asked: "What are you thinking?" Su Ying said softly: I like this place. Every time I come here, I feel refreshed physically and mentally. I don't need to worry about those many things. . Xia Xun laughed softly: With the nature of a savage, he regards a wealthy family like a cage!In fact, it's not just you, Xie, Ziqi, Xiaodi, Xiaoying, they are all better. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, Ming'er also has the same temperament, and she also doesn't like that kind of restraint, but she has to carry heavier than you It's just a burden.In fact, our family is all like this. Su Ying couldn't help laughing: That's right, it's not a family. If you don't enter a family, if you don't have the same unruly temperament as you in your bones, how can you get together! Xia Xun gently held her hand: Don't worry, when we come back from Western Ocean, I will take you to that place, where we can live as we want. Um!Su Ying agreed softly, like a little girl who is new to love.She was full of curiosity about the place Xianggong mentioned, but she didn't ask much. No matter how unrestrained and unrestrained she was, she couldn't escape this era. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, and go wherever Xianggong said. Xia Xun held her hand, facing the sea, and murmured: One spring breeze and one leaf boat, A thread of cocoon and a light hook. Zhu is full of flowers, Ou is full of wine, Freedom in the waves of ten thousand hectares!
