The banquet had already started, and the whole house was filled with the sounds of dice rolling and drinking.
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 in the first place. They laughed and greeted him and said, "Chen Baozi has summoned me. I dare not not come. I will thank Chen first." Baozi treated you kindly, but we also had questions, dare to ask Chen Baozi, what does he want his brothers to do by investing so much 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?"
The 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 Bazi smiled slightly. It's just that because of his crooked eyebrows and extremely thick lips, even when he smiles like this, someone seems 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, it is naturally excellent. However, this fleet is extremely large, and the escort force will probably not be small."
"It is certain that there will be 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. 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 burst out laughing after hearing this. Chen Baozi's words simply spoke to their hearts. With their individual strength alone, they are naturally helpless against such a fleet. But they are not stupid. Even if Chen Bangzi didn't find them, they still wanted to find Chen Bangzi.
Since everyone wanted to go together, several 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." .”
The leaders naturally 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 people discuss the strength of each party, they never talk about how many people they have, but how many ships they have. Every boat is a real performance of strength.
Han Du doesn't know that someone is already plotting against him. I'm afraid that 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 didn't care about hating the merchant ship, but was worried about the scene in front of him.
The sea area in front of us is dotted with islands. For the fleet that is in urgent need of fresh water, perhaps this scene is a gift from God. But for Handu, who was in urgent need of a way, these islands were 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. The only way is to 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's warship is the hidden reefs in the sea. Since there are islands here, maybe there are reefs hidden under the seemingly calm sea. Once it hits, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
Therefore, Han Du could only send people to explore the road a little bit and move forward slowly. Who said it was my first time here and there was no chart to use? There was nothing I 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 to the path exploration ship in front, saying that this was an opportunity for him to exercise.
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.
Hua Zhong held up his binoculars and glanced at Li Zengzhi, who was busy in front under the scorching sun, and sighed slightly. If you are in the capital at this time, I am afraid it is about to enter the cold winter. Looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, Hua Zhong never imagined that he would be sweating profusely due 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, and 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 a sea chart? Is it also true that he is the only one I taught who can draw a sea chart? Is that true? You are lying to him, point it out to me and I will change it!"
"You know how to 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 name of teacher. If one day I teach If he has thousands of students, I am afraid that he will not 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 of people who taught and educated people in order to become famous all over the world, but he had never heard of people who taught to save themselves trouble.
Hua Zhong didn't even wear fancy clothes now. Like Han Du, he was 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 continues to wear fancy clothes, he feels like he will be heated to death.
The two chatted, and soon the sun was almost setting 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.
