lied to Kangxi

Chapter 211

After the ship left Hangzhou Bay, it did not sail to the far sea, and kept sailing close to the coastline for a distance of about two miles.

Because of the calm sea, Yuzhu walked around on the boat and looked around.

This is a sea ship with three floors in total, with two floors on the deck and one floor below the deck.

Yuzhu is not a marine professional and is very unfamiliar with boats.If you don't understand, you can only ask the old helmsman in the stern rudder.

When the old helmsman saw Yuzhu coming, he quickly knelt down to salute, and said tremblingly, "Caomin bows down to the imperial envoy."

Yuzhu waved his hand gently, and said: "That's all." The ceremony cannot be dismissed, if he didn't ask the helmsman to salute, he would be in shock and doubt all the time.

The helmsman should not leave the steering column for too long.

After the old helmsman sat back to his original position, Yu Zhu asked him with a smile: "How heavy is this boat?"

The old helmsman had seen a lot of world experience, although his voice trembled slightly, he could speak clearly.

"Return to the imperial envoy, this boat weighs about 180 materials."

Yuzhu could hear every word clearly, but was still puzzled, how many tons is 180 materials?
No way, in the Qing Dynasty, whether it was shipbuilding, bridge construction, or road construction, there was never a unified standard for engineering weights and measures.

Yuzhu asked a lot of questions carefully, and the sweat on his forehead was already visible, so he managed to figure it out. A sea-going ship of 180 materials, if converted into tons, is about 90 tons, less than [-] tons.

According to the old helmsman proudly, the ship that Yu Zhu was on was already ranked among the top three ships among all the ships in the Qing Dynasty.

Hi, more than half a century ago in 1652, the famous Anglo-Dutch war broke out.

In the four Anglo-Dutch wars, no matter which battle it was, the total naval force invested by each side of the British and Dutch armies exceeded 2, and the number of artillery pieces involved in the battle reached as many as [-] at most.

In the past, because of his hobby, there was a high imitation model of the sailing battleship "Sea Sovereignty" in the study room of Yuzhu's home.

According to the instruction manual, it was a battleship built by master shipbuilder Peter Pater during the time of King Charles I of England, with a tonnage of 1500 tons.There are 104 guns on board, including 20 60-pounders, 8 30-pounders, 32 18-pounders, and 44 9-pounders.

Luxuriously decorated and finely carved, it was the crystallization of the shipbuilding industry at that time and was amazed by the world.

Alas, this is already the achievement of military technology more than half a century ago.

More than half a century has passed since the British monopolized sea power, and the tonnage of battleships must have exceeded the terrifying 3000 tons.

A sailing battleship of more than [-] tons, each with hundreds of heavy guns, against a so-called big ship of less than [-] tons, hey, the body is crushed to pieces!
The difference is too big!
If the status quo is not changed, by the time of the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty will still suffer a terrible defeat, and there is no chance of winning!

Fortunately, Yuzhu came to the Qing Dynasty, and there was a turning point!

In the following days, as long as Yuzhu was free, he would go into the rudder tower and sit beside the old helmsman, chatting and chatting.

According to the memories of the old helmsman, in his grandfather's era, that is, the so-called big ships in the Ming Dynasty, there were only more than 100 materials, which were not big.

Yuzhu naturally knew that the ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty was actually much stricter than that in the Qing Dynasty.

However, Zheng Chenggong's navy is not weak.In the battle to close Taiwan under the command of Zheng Chenggong, the Dutch had 4 ships in Taiwan. Among them, the "Hector" and "Sgraveland" were five-masted sailing warships equipped with 60 cannons. The largest cannon could hold three Forty-pound iron bullets.

According to historical records, Zheng Chenggong's largest ship was only smaller in tonnage than the Dutch warships.The real difference is that the number of cannons on board varies greatly.

Even in the 56th year of Kangxi, the old emperor banned maritime trade in Nanyang.Less than ten years later, when Yongzheng was short of money to spend, he still ordered to open the sea.

Qianlong withdrew three customs offices, but also retained Guangdong Customs as the only port for Western trade.

Objectively speaking, before the first Opium War, the time when the Qing Dynasty really banned the sea was actually very short, only intermittently for decades.

Most of the time, the Qing Dynasty allowed to open the sea and make money by using maritime trade.

The industrial civilization led by Dai Ying has a crushing advantage over the agricultural civilization of Dai Qing!

Sailing at sea not only has the advantage of speed, but also is far more comfortable than traveling by horse-drawn carriage on land.

Unlike Xiuyun, the young lady in the main room, both Xingrui and Xingjiao are housemaids.

Yuzhu is already 17 years old, just at the time when he is young and vigorous, full of vigor.

Under the dedicated service of the two beautiful maidservants, the little days at sea are so beautiful!

Xingjiao is like tofu made of water, so tender that it drips water.

Nothing happened at sea, and the weather was very hot. Yuzhu was in the cabin, wearing only a sleeveless thin silk half-gown on her upper body, and five-cent cotton beach shorts on her lower body.

Anyway, the two beautiful maidservants are also idle when they are idle, Yuzhu deliberately drew a pattern in order not to startle the snake, and arranged for Xingrui to make some bras out of cotton cloth.

After Xingrui started working, Yuzhu coaxed Xingjiao to make some G-string pants.

After all the small items were finished, Yuzhu remained calm and ordered Xingrui to cut some cropped pants out of black silk.

After the cropped trousers were finished, Yuzhu asked Xingrui to dig out a series of small holes in the trousers.

After the hole was stitched, when the work was done, Yu Zhu looked at the big black hair in front of him, and couldn't help but feel very happy.

Xingrui is more docile and obedient than Xingjiao, Yuzhu pretends to want her, and strips her naked first.

Xingrui put on a bra, and put on cropped pants with big eyes on her two beautiful legs, which can be described as extremely seductive.

Good guy, Yuzhu looked at the beautiful scenery, and couldn't hold back, that's all.

Xingjiao is much more cunning than Xingrui.But who is Yu Zhu?There are ways to deal with her.

When Xingjiao was grinding the ink, she sharpened it a little faster, and inadvertently stained Yuzhu's manuscript paper.

Yuzhu just took advantage of the situation and reprimanded her severely.After Xingjiao was dumbfounded by the training, Yuzhu stripped her into an Aries, and forced her into the same three-piece suit as Xingrui.

How should I put it, Xingrui is much taller than Xingjiao, but Xingjiao's skin is much fairer and tenderer.

The two beauties, wearing three-piece suits of different colors, stood in front of them enchantingly, their four big white legs dangling dizzily, and Yuzhu felt like he was about to burst into joy.

Yuzhu is not a big stallion who can't walk when he sees a beauty.However, he tried his best to pretend to be an absurd prodigal son in front of Kangxi, there must be some lace, let Kangxi know, right?
Hehe, Xingrui and Xingjiao are wearing three-piece suits, even if Yuzhu has smeared her reputation, she can get a little interest.

Different from Yuzhu's happy and happy life, Zhang Tingyu couldn't get used to the swaying sea boat, he got seasick.

Beside Yuzhu, there are two beautiful maidservants specially approved by the old emperor to accompany him.Next to Zhang Tingyu, there were only two servants serving him, so the treatment was far worse.

In fact, Yuzhu pestered the old emperor and forced the beautiful maidservant to go south with him, mainly because the days were too lonely after the palace was locked.

As usual, after Yuzhu arrived in Guangzhou City, he would be locked in the Gongyuan immediately.It was not until the Guibang was posted that he was allowed to come out to meet guests.

Back and forth, more than two months, locked in the Gongyuan, that day was really too hard!
Yu Zhu intentionally exposed his ugliness, just to subtly tell the old emperor that he can handle errands very well, but he is a guy who seeks pleasure.

In fact, many important ministers under the Manchurian flag grew up with a golden spoon in their mouths and are used to enjoying themselves.When they went to Beijing as imperial envoys, they basically took the beauties along on the road secretly.

As for Yuzhu, no matter whether it smells good or bad, good or bad, in front of Kangxi, he always has one thing to say and never hides it.

However, Kangxi still likes to eat Yuzhu.Yuzhu dares to speak the truth, that is the pure filial piety of Jun Yicheng!
To put it bluntly, with Kangxi's experience in power, it is still very clear in most cases whether the truth is true or false, sincerity or falsehood.

This person is afraid of comparison!
The old eight's people, and the prince's people, they talk about being loyal to the emperor and running errands.In fact, I'm afraid they all hope that Kangxi will die soon, and then they can support the old eight or the prince, and take over the big position smoothly, right?
You can help with money, but it has become Yuzhu's habit not to go to the Yamen in the morning.After a long time, Kangxi also looked numb.

Now, when Yuzhu travels a little far, she can't live without a woman by her side.In Kangxi's eyes, isn't this a typical bad habit of being unable to bear loneliness?

Under the emperor's mind, it's a good thing if you can't stand loneliness, and it's reckless if you can stand loneliness!

Just when Zhang Tingyu vomited and couldn't think of food and drink, Yuzhu leaned on Xingjiao's lap and said with a smile: "This is on a boat, the sheets and mattresses are changed too often, so what should I do?" What to do?"

Xingjiao is a clever little ghost, when she caught a glimpse of Yuzhu's eyes and kept glancing towards the grand master's chair, Fang already knew in her heart what bad idea the man had.

"Master, you used to praise your servants like tender tofu, but now you don't like changing and washing too often?" Xingjiao deliberately didn't take the bait.

Xingrui peeled a grape and stuffed it into Yuzhu's mouth, then giggled and said, "Xingjiao, you little rascal, you always say I have a hoarse voice, now it's your turn to be ashamed and conspicuous? !"

"Hmph, your voice isn't hoarse." Xingjiao's words were so profound that most people couldn't understand them at all.

Yuzhu secretly felt a little complacent, for a man to show his might, physical strength is actually only one aspect, the main thing is experience and skills.

However, Yuzhu is not a 17-year-old boy, but a greasy uncle in his 40s. Don't know what means?

The things he understands are enough for two beautiful maids to drink several pots!
Playing riddles with her own women, and having fun in the boudoir, Yuzhu was very happy.

On the journey, it is really not so lonely!
