Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1840 Emergency drill

Hygiene?
The captains nodded again and again. They felt that what the Duke said was indeed reasonable. Poor hygiene makes it easy to get sick.

Sickness is not a trivial matter, especially at sea where there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, it is very likely that a minor illness will kill one's life.

If the infection spreads again, the entire ship will be in danger.

Therefore, it is not a big problem to do a good job in hygiene, and most importantly, it is not difficult.

"Follow the Duke's orders!"

"Don't worry, Duke, we must do a good job of hygiene!"

"Yes, yes, what the Duke said is that if the ship is dirty and messy, it is easy to get sick. For our own health and safety, we must also improve hygiene."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "After today's meeting is over, you go back to rectify the sanitation on board. I will check tomorrow. If you fail the inspection, continue to rectify until you pass the inspection. Then it will become a standard, and you will follow that standard in the future."

Simply agreeing is not enough, but also need to check?
Check but still need to continue to rectify?
Will we follow the standard in the future?
It's so strict!All the captains couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, but no one dared to raise any objections.

Firstly, the Duke's request is not unreasonable, and secondly, who dares to question the Duke's words?

"Follow the Duke's order!" All the captains said in unison.

Su Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "Leave the hygienic thing aside for the time being, let's talk about the entertainment, drifting at sea is very boring, so some entertainment activities are also needed, which can relieve nostalgia and benefit the body and mind Healthy. Of course, I must emphatically emphasize that gambling is absolutely not allowed, and once found out, it will be severely punished!"

All the captains couldn't help but look at each other, entertainment?
What is physical and mental health?
However, they also understood that they were afraid that everyone would be too boring, so they asked everyone to have some fun.

In this era when gambling is not illegal, Su Cheng insisted that gambling be banned on board, because gambling is prone to disputes, and long-term drifting at sea will magnify emotions, and once something happens, it is not a trivial matter.

What entertainment is there then?

"Putting the pot?" A captain asked boldly.

"You guys play throwing pots? It's fine, you can prepare throwing pots!" Su Cheng laughed, but he felt that even if he prepared throwing pots, he would just be left out in the corner to collect ashes.

All the captains couldn't help lowering their heads when they heard this. The rough old men who run the boat really can't play the game of throwing pots.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "I have prepared two small games, billiards and bowling, and I will promote them in the next few days."

He also thought about it for a long time before finally finalizing this indoor game and giving it a try temporarily. Bowling is okay, but billiards is a bit difficult. After all, there are winds and waves on the sea, and the boat will shake.

However, the sea is not always full of wind and waves, there are also calm times, and the table and the ball can be made rougher, just hit the ball harder.

Billiards?bowling?

what is that?
All the captains were at a loss, but at this time, there was no need to ask questions at all, as long as they applauded.

"The Duke is wise!"

Su Cheng was indifferent to everyone's flattery, and said calmly: "The next thing I want to say is very important, you lack a sense of crisis! Some of you have gone to sea once, some have gone to sea twice, and some have gone to sea Three times or even more, although they also encountered some dangers, they all turned to safety, and some people relaxed because of this."

"That's impossible! Especially when I haven't encountered pirates in the past few times, but this doesn't mean that there will be no pirates in the future. This is what I said here. The profits of sea trade are enough to make people jealous and make people take risks. Therefore, There must be pirates!"

"Maybe it's the next time I go to sea, maybe I will encounter pirates next time I go to sea! Then the question comes, what should I do if I encounter pirates?"

"We must have an emergency plan for encountering pirates, and we must conduct drills at sea!"

All the captains have been out at sea at least once, and of course understand how attractive the goods on board are to the people of the Western Regions, and of course know that the goods on each ship are priceless, so it is only normal that pirates will be attracted in the future .

However, isn't there a warship accompanying it?
There are not only experienced fighters on the warship, but also a series of hideous artillery!
Who doesn't know the power of artillery in the whole Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know?
Moreover, they have also seen the artillery drill with their own eyes. When the artillery fires in unison, it is a spectacle.

Those pirates didn't have guns, so what could they have?
I am afraid that there is no bed crossbow, only bows and catapults, how can this be compared with artillery?
The power and range of the artillery were much stronger than that of the trebuchet. Under the bombardment of the artillery, the pirate's ship was sunk as a result.

Therefore, although the captains present also knew that they might encounter pirates, they didn't worry much about this. What they were worried about was the hidden reefs and hurricanes at sea.

"Duke, our warship has artillery. Even if there are pirates, they can only escape under the bombardment of the artillery, or they will only sink."

"Yes, with artillery and muskets, why are we afraid of pirates?"

"Even if there is a drill, it should be a warship drill."

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "It's too slack, your mentality is not good! Military drills, the most important thing is of course the drills of warships, but you also need to conduct necessary drills."

"Once you encounter pirates at sea, the warships are responsible for responding to the enemy, but you must also obey the dispatch and cooperate."

All the captains couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, it's really frightening that the Duke pays so much attention to it.

"Does the Duke think that pirates are more powerful than our warships? Can their weapons be more powerful than artillery?"

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "There is a saying that is good. Ants kill elephants. After all, there are not many warships accompanying them. Pirates have small but many ships with strong maneuverability. Although warships are powerful, they may not be able to completely protect them. Your safety."

"Therefore, you must set up an emergency plan for encountering pirates, and then carry out drills. Don't feel troublesome and hard. It's hard work now. When you really encounter pirates, your lives will be saved."

The captains couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring after hearing this, and they had to admit that what the Duke said made sense.

"What the Duke said is that we are waiting to obey the Duke's orders."

"The Duke is also worried about our safety. How can we not know what is good and what is wrong? We will do what the Duke says, and we will do it!"

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said: "You go back and clean up first. I will board the ship for inspection the day after tomorrow, and report the unqualified ones to the whole port. After all the ships are up to standard, they will all go to sea for emergency drills. That's it. It's all gone!"
