The banquet had already started, and the whole house was filled with the sound of dice being shaken and wine being played.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, the leader gathered in a room.
Several leaders went in together and saw a fierce and powerful man with a golden sword sitting at the front. They laughed and greeted him and said, "Chen Baozi has summoned me. I dare not not come. I'll thank Chen first."
Baozi’s warm treatment, but we also have questions, dare to ask Chen Baozi, what does he want his brothers to do by investing such a large sum of money?"
Chen Bazi put his hands away, smiled and saluted several people one by one, and then said: "It is natural that we have important matters to invite all the heroes here in such a hurry."
As he spoke, Chen Paozi paused, looked around at everyone with a smile, and then said: "You must have heard about the news at sea in the past two days, right?"
Several leaders looked at each other and immediately understood what Chen Baozi meant. Someone immediately said: "What Chen Baozi wants to talk about is the fleet that came from it?"
"Exactly." Chen Baozi smiled slightly. However, because his eyebrows were crooked and his lips were extremely thick, even with such a smile, someone seemed to be opening his mouth to bite.
Seeing that no one answered, Chen Baozi added to the fire and continued: "Don't you know how popular things from the Central Plains are in Southeast Asia? This is a big fat sheep."
When the leaders saw that Chen Baozi had made his words clear, they responded: "Whether it is silk or porcelain from the Central Plains, they are naturally excellent things. However, this fleet is extremely large, and the escort force will probably not be small."
"It is certain to have guards." Chen Bazi nodded and said: "But no merchant ships from the Central Plains have come to Nanyang for more than ten years. The prices in the West have been raised to get silk and porcelain. You are better than someone
Everyone knows. How can you bear it just watching the fat sheep swaggering away from you? Besides, what if they have guards? We are familiar with the surrounding islands. As long as we find a place to ambush them, we will be done.
"
The leaders laughed immediately after hearing this. Chen Baozi's words simply spoke to their hearts. With their individual strength, they were naturally helpless against such a fleet. But they were not stupid, even if Chen Baozi did not
After calling them here, they all wanted to find Chen Bazi.
Since everyone wanted to go together, a few people immediately said: "I am willing to obey Chen Baozi's order."
"Okay!" Chen Baozi immediately stood up happily, patted his chest and promised everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, Chen will not treat everyone badly. We will divide the seizure this time based on the number of ships sent by each party."
.”
Naturally, the leaders had no objections, and even thought it was fair and reasonable. The battle on the sea relies on ships. Although people are also very important, they are still inferior to ships. When everyone usually discusses the strength of each party,
It is never about who has how many people, but who has how many ships. Every ship is a real expression of strength.
Han Du didn't know that someone was already plotting against him, and even if he knew, Han Du wouldn't care.
Originally, Han Du disliked the merchant ships of Fu Yong and others. After all, they were too slow and could not keep up with the warships. But now Han Du did not care about hating the merchant ships, but faced the scene in front of him.
worry.
The sea area in front of us is dotted with islands. For the fleet that is in urgent need of replenishing fresh water, this scene may be a gift from God. But for Han Du who is in urgent need of getting on his way, these islands are just speed bumps.
Because the island has turned the sea wind in the same direction into a very chaotic situation, it is impossible to sail at full speed with full sail. You can only hang up the jib sail and move forward slowly, and you need to constantly adjust the direction of the jib sail.
Moreover, the impact of wind alone is actually not great. The biggest factor affecting the speed of Handu warships is the reefs in the sea. Since there are islands here, maybe there are hidden reefs under the seemingly calm sea. Once it hits
, that is, the ship was destroyed and people died.
Therefore, Han Du could only send people to explore the road a little bit and move forward slowly. Who said that it was his first time here and there was no chart to use? There was nothing he could do about it.
However, Han Du did not waste this opportunity to explore the path in vain. After teaching Li Zengzhi how to draw a sea chart, he arranged for him to go on the path-exploring ship in front, saying that this was an opportunity for him to practice.
Li Zengzhi also thought that Master Han was taking special care of him. After all, not one of the many people in the academy knew the secret skill of drawing sea charts.
Huazhong held up the telescope and glanced at Li Zengzhi, who was busy in front of him under the scorching sun, and sighed slightly. If he were in the capital at this time, I am afraid it would have almost entered the cold winter. Looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, Huazhong could not have imagined that
I was actually sweating profusely due to being exposed to the sun at this time of year.
"Li Zengzhi is just too honest. He can easily be deceived into running away after just one word." Hua Zhong and Han Du have been together for so long that they have figured out Han Du's habits, and there is no scruple in their conversation.
After hearing this, Han Du smiled and said: "What do you mean I lied to him? Is it true that I taught him how to draw sea charts? Is it true that he is the only one I taught who can draw sea charts? Isn't it true that he is the only one who can draw sea charts?
You are lying to him, point it out to me and I will change it!"
"Will you change?" Hua Zhong expressed disbelief, "In my opinion, you just want to be lazy."
"This is not laziness." Han Du chuckled and shook his head and retorted, "This is when the teacher has something to do, and the disciple has to do his job. Only now do I realize that I really love the title of teacher. If one day I teach
If he has thousands of students, I'm afraid he won't have to do anything in his life and will be able to live out his life comfortably."
Hua Zhong was severely hit by Han Du's laziness, and his lips were trembling. In his generation, he had heard that some people taught and educated people in order to become famous all over the world, but he had never heard of anyone teaching in order to make himself famous.
Trouble-free.
Hua Zhong doesn't even wear fancy clothes anymore. Like Han Du, he is naked from the waist up, with only an apron-like cloth wrapped underneath to cover his shame. Originally, when Hua Zhong saw Han Du dressed like this, he was not willing to do so.
Han Du saw Hua Zhong hesitate and didn't care about him. In less than half a day, Hua Zhong had to take off his clothes and follow Han Du's example, wrapping up only a piece of cloth.
There was no way, it was too hot. If Hua Zhong continued to wear fancy clothes, he felt like he would be heated to death.
The two chatted, and soon the sun was about to set below the sea level. The long-lasting heat seemed to fade away at this moment, and the long-lost cool sea breeze began to blow on the deck. The banquet had already been served, and the whole house was filled with colors.
Son, the sound of drinking wine.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, the leader gathered in a room.
