Chapter 123 A Trip to Guangzhou ([-])

After the test drive, it was found that under the condition of full sail and smooth wind, the speed of the ship can reach about 12 knots, and the installation of the engine does not greatly increase the speed of the ship.However, the maneuverability of the ship has been greatly improved, which is good news for those who have no experience in operating hard sailing ships.

"At least our ship will have a great advantage in the case of headwind." Lin Shenhe summed up this advantage.

In addition to the power system, the ship has also undergone a series of modifications, including the installation of radio stations and the addition of living quarters.The bulkheads of the cargo hold were reinforced, and several darkrooms were refitted.In addition to weapons and ammunition, it also contains Lin Shenhe's private goods, which are used when he is preparing to play a cameo pirate.

Including those who traveled through, there were a total of 25 people in the purchasing group to Guangzhou. In order to guard against pirate attacks, the ship was fully equipped with weapons and ammunition, as well as a lot of dry food, clean water, money and various supplies.

On November 1628, 11, on a sunny day on the sixth day of October in the first year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the third-class transport ship "Dengyingzhou" set sail and sailed from Bopu to the sunny sea.

This majestic-sounding "third-class transport ship boarding Yingzhou" is purely a group of people with strong plots in the navy.As for why it is a "third-class transport ship" instead of a second-class or fourth-class ship, only they know.

Deng Yingzhou picked up Liu Gang at the Lantern Corner in Xuwen. This small salt merchant also brought some bodyguards and other people with him. He originally refused to go to Guangzhou by boat, preferring to go overland for safety. But since I heard that the short-haired people have sharp firearms, they probably have nothing to fear.It's just a pity that I didn't see the legendary big iron boat.

The journey was smooth, and there was nothing to say on the road. After five days, I arrived at the Nancheng Wharf in Guangzhou.

The Pearl River Estuary in 1628 was not as busy as later generations.Pirates are rampant recently, and it is rumored that Yu Junmen is going to seal the ship and beat Liu Laoxiang, so all kinds of foreign ships are gone.There are few ships on the Pearl River.

Lin Chuanqing didn't sleep well these days, so this trip to Guangzhou was somewhat risky.He was a smuggler in the South China Sea back then, and he had seen all kinds of storms and waves, but after all, it had been a long time since he quit.Although their group of North American sub-helmsmen are always ready to find opportunities at sea to earn a vote.But he is also most afraid of encountering pirate ships: Is Liu Laoxiang such a sea tycoon easy to provoke?When Lin Chuanqing was a smuggler, he knew that it didn't matter which country's patrol boat the smuggling boat ran into. At worst, the business would fail, and it would be over if it encountered pirates.

Once encountering Liu Xiang's pirate ship, the lives of all the people on the ship depended on these dozens of guns and two newly installed diesel engines.Everyone has no experience in sea battles. A pirate ship with two ships is easy to deal with. What if there are seventeen or eight ships...

Fortunately, Liu Gang took a helmsman who was familiar with coastal routes with him, and under his guidance, he sailed along the coastline tremblingly, and sailed into the harbor to avoid suspicious ships when he saw any suspicious ships.It is very difficult to stop and go like this.Now that I have reached the Pearl River Estuary, I can finally sleep well.Thinking of the depths, he looked back at Guo Yi on the other side of the railing, and couldn't help but smile wryly again.

For Guo Yi, the five-day sea journey was full of hardships.Since he was transferred to the public security team to interrogate and screen prisoners, his life has a new hope.This time being entrusted with the important task of being the head of the Guangzhou Underground Advance Station is a qualitative leap for him personally—he has already been recognized.Although this task is full of risks, high risk also means high reward-he will use his professional knowledge to quickly improve his status in the crossing group, and thus enter the upper level of the group.The excited Guo Yi prepared a full set of plans and plans, and ran towards the ideal new world full of hope.

Although I was prepared for seasickness before, I didn't expect to have a journey of one or two days, but because of hiding in Tibet, I couldn't set foot on land until the fifth day.Guo Yi's complexion also turned from red to white, from white to green, from green to black... He never knew that he was seasick—obviously, this 78-ton wooden boat is not the same thing as a thousand-ton large boat.All the things that should be vomited have been vomited in the storm in the first three days. For the first time since the passive time travel, someone has the idea of ​​wanting to die...

Fortunately, the most difficult time has passed. When sailing peacefully like now, I can occasionally come out pretending to be calm and breathe the sea breeze.For him, the test after landing is far more than simple as seasickness, and this can be regarded as a small prelude for him.

"Wharf! Dock!" Qian Shuixie's shout in the watch battle stirred up all the people on the boat, crowded to both sides of the ship to feast their eyes.Looking from the boat, a meandering green link stretches all the way to the horizon. This is the Pearl River, and far away is the majestic city wall of Guangzhou.The residential houses and fortresses dotted around are visible to the naked eye, and several small sailing boats are moored here and there. Fences have been erected around the pier to prevent pirates from attacking it.

Stimulated by the hope of landing, everyone struggled to bring the boat to the pier.Most of the men who lived on the wharf were dark skinned and thin. Seeing this group of people who looked tall and strong due to adequate nutrition in later generations, they gathered around in doubt to see what happened.Mond was the first to jump off the boat, followed by Qian Shuixie, Zhou Weisen and others. Although everyone had dressed up as smart people and wore wigs in advance, it should not be so easy to see through.However, the habits of the soldiers still made them quickly withdraw into a vigilant posture.The two sides are facing each other in such a strange atmosphere...

"Why haven't you landed yet, why are you dawdling?" A voice came from the back of the cabin.

When everyone looked back, they saw a beautiful woman who was looking out of the boat curtain. The towering cloud temples seemed to be casually tied on her head, but she just hung a few strands of hair on her slightly undulating chest. , with an indescribably lazy beauty.The bright and charming oval face, the crystal clear pink skin under the light gauze, is even better than the lotus.A pair of full autumn water, clear and misty, small and straight Qiong nose, pink and tender red lips as thin and tender as rose petals are even more plump.There are thousands of styles in every frown and smile, which are thrilling.

The group of Mond and others were stunned for a moment, and the gang of boatmen didn't even know where they had gone. They opened their eyes and opened their mouths, and two halazi flowed unconsciously.At this time, they were killed with a knife, and there was probably no reaction.

At this time, there was a cough in the cabin, and it was Guo Yi who came out, so he clasped his hands in a sophisticated manner and said: "The female relatives at home are bothering you, I hope you are happy." After saying that, he drove the beauty back to the cabin to avoid further disturbances.

This beauty is the secret final weapon of the famous intelligence team, PEPEI code-named "Miss P", whose real gender is listed as the top secret. PEPEI's dress-up technology is also one of the best in modern times. During the journey on the ship, everyone has long been fascinated by his continuous transformation from loli to Zhengtai to Yujie.Now it appeared again, even Mond and others who thought they had immunity were still unable to resist, which shows their profound skill.

Inside the cabin, Guo Yi scolded: "Miss P, I hope you can understand that although you are directly assigned by the intelligence and data group of the executive committee, after all I am the person in charge of the Guangdong advance station and have the right to coordinate in a unified manner. I hope you don't Create difficulties for our overall operation." Guo Yi understands that PEPEI is the most important secret weapon in this Guangzhou operation, but in any case it cannot affect the realization of the overall plan, so it is necessary to remind again.

PEPEI smiled, and said, "Why be so serious, I didn't expect those natives to be so easy to deal with, it's a waste of my skills." Guo Yi thought for a while, and said: "Now we will build an intelligence station as planned, and the construction of the frontline intelligence stronghold It will also be put on the agenda immediately, but whether it is a restaurant or an inn, we still have some problems in our hands. But I will try to solve it. Before that, I hope you can stay on board to avoid any mistakes. After all, this kind of It's not suitable for you to come forward." PEPEI smiled slightly, nodding in agreement.

Xiao Zishan said: "Now let's discuss the actions after going ashore." He is the head of the procurement team, but he is only in charge of connecting with Gao Zhi and purchasing various items needed by the industrial department.As for the establishment of the advance station, Guo Yi is fully in charge.

"Let's split up. Committee member Xiao, go talk to Gao Ju and Shopkeeper Sun about the cooperation—after all, you are acquaintances. I plan to ask Liu Gang to take me with Lao Yan and the others to take a look at the market in Guangzhou and plan to open a store. Others People stay on board for now."

"I'll go back to the house first, and then I'll send a sedan chair and a mule cart to take everyone to the house to relax. Bei Wei knows Sun Chang, so let him lead the team." Xiao Zishan knew that the pedestrians had been bored for five or six days on the boat, If they stayed on the boat, there might be some troubles, so they left Beiwei to suppress the scene.

Everyone settled down, and after a little rectification, Xiao Zishan, under the protection of the special forces and the second North American troops, marched into the city of Guangzhou.

Xiao Zishan was revisiting his old place, kind of friendly, but others were out of curiosity, most of them had never been to Lingao County, and now they suddenly came to the most prosperous commercial city in southern China at that time, using four words to describe it as dazzled. It is very appropriate.

But now is not the time for sightseeing, back to the house on Welfare Street, the steward Sun Chang and the Gao family who stayed in the house are still in business as usual, and they are very happy to see the master back.In the more than a year since they left, the house has been repaired to look decent: the courtyard walls and revetments have been renovated, the rubble has been cleaned up, and the house has also been repaired.A vegetable garden was also opened in the garden and many vegetables were planted.
