Hundreds of steps apart, Xu Ding and Jia She didn't hear clearly what the students were shouting.
Xu Dingyu introduced himself: "There are fifteen professors in charge of teaching boating and water warfare on this ship. Five of our own masters are masters who have traveled to Liaodong and Shandong since the Mingchang period. But these people at sea are all Illiterate, I only rely on word of mouth to teach my experience, mainly teaching the tricks of throwing ropes and knotting ropes, raising and lowering sails, gaining speed in the wind, and seizing the upper reaches. There are also ten others who have been recruited from your Southern Dynasty these days. Some of them are still good players in the Xu Pu Navy."
That was naturally the method of Li Yun or Zhou Keshan... Jia She estimated that after the riot at the head of the fleet, the Ding Navy's penetration of the Southern Dynasty Navy must have been greatly strengthened, not to mention Li Yun. I'm spreading money everywhere in Lin'an.
Thinking of this, Jia She couldn't help but rub his heart.
Xu Ding did not pay attention to Jia She's changing expression and continued: "Your country's ships are more sophisticated than ours, and the methods of maneuvering them are very different, so what they teach is mainly the method of joining gangs to attack and release fire ships at sea. There are also two senior sailors who are responsible for explaining the method of crossing the ocean and catching stars. By the way, brother Jichuan, among the people fighting on the ship at the moment, there are several scholars who are determined to make contributions to the sea. They The task is to compile useful experiences into a book after training again and again. With detailed records and clear organization, this place can continuously produce qualified leaders and leaders, and no longer relies on the sea. Man teaches himself.”
"Oh? Is there such a courageous scholar?"
Jia She responded casually, narrowed his eyes and looked at the boat again, and suddenly grabbed Xu Ding's arm: "Prime Minister Xu, we are going to the Imperial Academy to pay homage to Duke Zhou, right?"
Xu Ding nodded slightly and urged his horse forward: "Duke Zhou has other important matters here. He should have arrived first. We can't delay."
"Ahem, Prime Minister Xu, it doesn't matter if you delay for a while. Look, the one on the boat who is being beaten is not Duke Zhou!"
"Ah?" Xu Ding rubbed his eyes.
He had long heard that Guo Ning had always maintained his true qualities as a warrior and had no airs about him in the army. He ate, lived and trained with the soldiers. But since everyone agreed to meet at the Imperial College today, he subconsciously felt that this was after all a place for the country to raise scholars, and the scholar's demeanor had to be preserved, right? In a place like this, Guo Ning would always be a little more reserved, right?
Facts have proved that Xu Ding was wrong.
He opened his mouth and couldn't close it, and found that not only Guo Ning was not reserved, but also the students who were divided into two teams on the boat and fought with each other were all on top, and no one was restrained anymore.
"Go up! Go up! Don't let him get up! Suppress him!" A group of students who had the upper hand on the boat shouted excitedly.
Under the gaze of everyone, Guo Ning roared repeatedly, thrust forward with one arm, and grabbed a strong man who rushed forward. Although this strong man was in the cold winter, he was still clean and tidy, wearing only knee-length trousers. Guo Ning grabbed the belt of his knee pants, instantly took advantage of the situation to twist his waist, and pushed in the direction of the strong man's sprint.
The strong man's exclamation and the tearing of his knee pants sounded at the same time. Several strands of cloth flew into the air. The strong man curled up and hugged his lower abdomen, and fell into the pool with a thud, causing many people watching the battle outside to shout loudly. laugh.
But more people surrounded him from all angles, pinning Guo Ning down in Gaixin.
If in a serious fighting situation, Guo Ning wildly dances with iron bones in a crowd, then blood will burst out, and a circle of broken skulls will roll around on the ground.
But after all, they don't kill seriously during training. Since the people who are besieging them don't worry about their own death, they become much more courageous. For a moment, there were many figures on the bow of the boat, like a school of fish caught in a net flapping wildly.
The attacking companions who accompanied Guo Ning on board the ship were blocked on the opposite side of the deck, and they rushed to rescue them. However, there were criss-crossed ropes and random objects everywhere on the ship, blocking the steps of the rescuers.
Guo Ning took advantage of the last bit of space in front of him and swung his wooden stick violently, trying to force away the closest figures in front of him. In the end, he was so busy that he didn't see clearly. The wooden stick was hitting a horizontally torn open door. Head up the rigging.
The sail rope was kneaded from brown silk soaked in oil mud. It was both tough and elastic. It swung carelessly after being hit by a stick. Instead, the wooden stick was released instantly and flew high. Guo Ning was slightly startled by the inexplicable lack of a handy weapon. The students on the defensive side of the ship cheered loudly. In an instant, no less than 20 people rushed up to grab Guo Ning's head and feet, and captured Guo Ning violently.
Guo Ning laughed and scolded: "Go away! Don't be rude!"
How could the students listen to him?
Someone else fanned the team and shouted: "After five games, we have the upper hand only once! Brothers, don't miss the opportunity! Throw the marshal out! Throw it once, and we can boast for a hundred years!"
】
Guo Ning shouted in the crowd: "Yu Xing, you idiot! I can hear your voice! You are seeking death again!"
He struggled repeatedly, unable to hold back the students who were getting angry one by one. Finally, they all got together and threw Guo Ning out of the side of the ship.
After winter, the water surface freezes easily. Because this pond is used for naval officer training, three groups of people were specially arranged to stir the water surface day and night, so that it would not freeze into a big lump of ice. Even so, the water was bone-chillingly cold.
Guo Ning was aroused by the cold water and suddenly sneezed.
At this time, the strong man who had fallen into the water just started to struggle. He stood up to his chest in the water, without opening his eyes, and asked himself: "Who fell down? Did we win?"
Guo Ning kicked him in the chest and threw him into the water. However, due to the slippery mud at the bottom of the pool, Guo Ning himself lost his balance and fell over again, causing water to splash everywhere.
The guardsmen who were on guard by the pool were horrified when they saw their marshal being thrown down. Ni Yi hurriedly held the bamboo pole himself and let Guo Ning climb onto the shore step by step.
When Guo Ning landed, the people on the boat suddenly noticed that his face was a little gloomy.
The students who were still cheering fell silent for an instant. Only then did many people realize what they had done, and they were all stunned with fear. The strong, shirtless man who was kicked down by Guo Ning stood in a daze. He originally wanted to spit out a mouthful of water, but he didn't dare to spit it out and instead swallowed it in his stomach.
Around the entire pool, only this slightly old warship was left turbulent with the wind, and the water surface slapped the hull, making a "surging" sound.
Yu Xing was still a little brave. He used his hands and feet to climb to the trestle along the thick cable. He looked up at Guo Ning, took a few steps closer, and laughed. Ni Yi hurried to the military camp next to the pool and took the dry cloth that had been prepared long ago to wipe Guo Ning's body. Yu Xing quickly took a few steps closer and pretended to help.
Only then did Guo Ning let out a long sigh.
This cold feeling all over his body reminded him of the winter four years ago, when he was shot in the back by an arrow in Bianwudian and left floating in the swamp to die. So he cursed: "Damn it, in the winter, soaking in water It’s really uncomfortable.”
Many people on and off the boat breathed a sigh of relief, and they all agreed: "Yes, yes. The marshal is so right, it's really uncomfortable."
Yu Xing realized that Guo Ning was not angry, and couldn't help but smile. He came over to get another dry cloth and prepared to wipe it with Guo Ning.
Guo Ning pointed at him angrily: "Go away! You are the only one who is brave! There will be extra food in the Imperial College today, but you are the only one who won't have a share!"
Yu Xing, who was a bit fat and had always been greedy, let out a scream and hid his face and left. As a result, he ran dozens of steps, and he couldn't help but ask his companions on the defensive side of the ship: "Are you particularly proud of having thrown the marshal? You can brag about this kind of thing slowly, no need to thank me!"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Ning waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't be stunned, go and catch him! Throw him into the water!"
The guards and soldiers rushed forward, and Yu Xing immediately fell into the water.
Today's competition is of course meant to be hilarious. The teams on both sides were filled with scholars and scribes, so they couldn't be taken seriously. However, it can indeed be seen that the northern crew members are more than fierce when fighting in gangs, but if they lack a little bit of discipline, they can easily be caught. The specific orders were not as clear as the two southern navy masters on the defensive side could.
Generally speaking, the scale of a single battle at sea is limited to dozens to hundreds of people. No matter how large the fleet is, when it comes to battle, each ship will still find its own opponent for a duel. When dozens of people are fighting in a small scale, there are actually many reasons for how to use the terrain of the ship's deck, how to cover each other, how to cut the enemy's defense line, or how to destroy the sail mast, main rudder, and auxiliary rudder in time.
Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, it has fought fierce battles with the Song navy several times on the river and sea, but almost every time it ended in failure. In this regard, the Song Dynasty has a richer heritage than the Jin Kingdom.
