Villager of Daming

Chapter 1122: The muzzle is no longer shining

It was about four hundred miles from Fangshan to the mouth of Dagu. The team arrived at noon on the eighth day of June.

In a few hours a day, we can travel such a long distance by water, which is faster than land. The waterway flows smoothly all the way, and the small steam engine boat pulls the larger paddle boat in front. It can cover more than twenty miles in an hour. .

Going on land, it’s all over! Large animals cannot move continuously, and even if a person has the endurance, plus things, the four hundred-mile plain is still a nightmare.

A plain does not mean that the road is easy to walk; potholes are also a plain.

As soon as the team arrived, some people immediately disembarked and went to the hut. Fortunately, this place has become an important place, with a specially built bathroom.

The waste is not discharged into the sea and is fertilized on site. The area behind the port is cultivated, mostly vegetable fields, orchards, and vegetable greenhouses.

What sailors want to eat most when they dock is definitely fresh vegetables and fruits. They can set nets and fish at sea, and there is no shortage of meat.

The ship also carries dried meat, dried vegetables, and canned food. There are relatively few canned fruits among them. Because they are not cost-effective, it is better to bring preserved fruits and dried fruits. Sour plum powder in summer is good.

Zhu Wentian looked at the entrance of Daku and couldn't find anything like what he remembered. Not only the buildings, but also the terrain were very different.

However, these things cannot be recycled. No one will save the filth and feed it to the fish in the sea. "

"How are the bathrooms on the big ship made?" Zhu Ju, the fifth child, pointed to the big ship docked at the pier and asked about the latrines.

The captain knew the situation, and the better crew members did not prefer them. They were willing to use simple structures that were easy to maintain and strong.

Every day, crew members use a lot of water to clean the toilets. The most indispensable thing on the sea is water. Seawater can be used freely, but the most lacking thing is fresh water.

Our boat is made of porcelain, just like the ones in the imperial city, so your highness can rest assured.

"Flushing toilets always use sea water, so parts are easy to break. Therefore, many sailors and crew members changed to a squatting position, so that a large bucket of sea water is placed next to them and flushed directly into the sea.

There is no one on the boat. If you want to go, you can only temporarily stop the boat and find a place on the shore to solve it.

There is no modern scene, and there is no fort in the tourist area.

The Ming Dynasty Navy has been promoted by experts and provides various shipbuilding technologies.

He was worried about whether the big ship would use a respectful bucket. It was obviously impossible to dock for his convenience, and he didn't want to use a respectful bucket.

After saying that, he put down the telescope and looked at Xiaqiu Village. There were still forty-four people boarding the boat in Xiaqiu Village. They knew everyone, but there was no expert in sight.

Like pits, flush the water first before use, so that it is easy to rinse again after use and there will be no residue.

Zhu Fan said that he was not affected and could live a normal life on the ship.

"Don't be afraid of this. There is no boat shaking too much on the river."

Zhu Di held up his telescope to look at other moored ships around him: "No wonder the Yi people were so honest when trading with the Ming Dynasty. We, the navy of the Ming Dynasty, are invincible in the world."

But he was very happy. From now on, there would be no need for forts at Dagukou, and there would be more and more ports along the Ming Dynasty.

For lunch, everyone came to the boat to experience what it was like to eat on the boat.

If my father had a boat like this, fighting others in water battles would be just a joke. There is no need to fight sea battles. Others will just kneel down when they see the boat.

"Let's eat first. Did you fry the leftover steamed buns from yesterday? It's done! As long as you can eat it! Where's the soup?"

Zhu Xi looked at the food. There were fried dried beans, fried steamed buns, and two fried eggs. The rest were just pickles and no soup. "After a while, we will check the situation after setting sail. When there is a lot of shaking, there will be a lot of gastric acid secretion, so drink more soup. If you get seasick, drink more soup and spit it out."

Ling'er brought another piece of cucumber. This one was light, with only a little salt and no garlic.

"Ling'er, aren't you afraid of seasickness?" Zhu Fang was puzzled when he saw that the people in Xiaqiu Village looked very calm!

"There is that dangling amusement ride in the village. It trains people to resist seasickness. This year's sailors will have to undergo the same training."

Ling'er gave the answer, we have prepared something in advance, we have practiced it, who told you not to practice it.

"You won't need it when you get back...you won't need it when you get back, right? You've already practiced it on the boat."

Zhu Fang wanted to say that he would practice hard when he got back, but he suddenly realized that if the sea was so difficult, he would probably be used to vomiting.

Ling'er shook her head: "No matter how you connect, seasickness is still seasick. Even veteran sailors who have been decades old will still vomit if they encounter special circumstances, but they recover quickly.

For example, when encountering big wind and waves, not only the ship will rock, but also the people on it will constantly change their position and status. At the same time, the waves will produce low-frequency noise.

When people always hear loud noises, their mood will be affected, and they may even vomit and become dizzy.

When encountering wind and waves at sea, these two conditions, coupled with fear, can cause people to become seasick. "

"Then it's better not to eat, otherwise you'll vomit again soon, and I'm not hungry anyway."

After Zhu Ru stopped, he didn't want to touch the food in front of him. He would rather drink water when he was hungry, so that he would vomit water when he vomited, which would not be uncomfortable.

After eating other food in the stomach, stomach acid will burn the esophagus and throat when vomiting, so I have to drink a lot of water first. I am already nauseous, drink water again, vomit again, drink water again...

The chief looked at everyone and came up with an idea: "Eat the fried eggs first, two for each person, and one fried steamed bun for the others. There are storms and waves on the sea now. We can feel it when we set off soon."

Let's all adjust, other ships send signals and semaphores, and the guards, craftsmen, palace maids, and eunuchs all eat less.

The food won't go bad after being left for a few hours. Eat it when you feel you can adapt to it, and adopt the pattern of eating smaller meals more often.

The four princes and the people in Xiaqiu Village each had two fried eggs and some side dishes.

After a while, the preheated steam engine began to work. There was a mast and sail on the ship. I was afraid that the steam engine would break down and I couldn't move.

The sailors looked at the wind direction, adjusted the sails, and the fleet left Dagukou and headed towards the Bohai Bay in the west.

We won’t go to the Yellow Sea this time. We can pass by the Yellow Sea on our way back, keep walking, move northeast when we approach the Liaodong Peninsula, and enter from the later Yingkou over there.

There are many fish there, including Bayu fish. The famous Bayuquan was once wildly fished, but the results are still there because the Bayu fish in this location are raised in the entire Bohai Bay.

Many people in Bayuquan who think they are good at swimming are willing to swim back and forth, so many people have died there. It is the sea, not still water with calm waves.

There may not always be an undercurrent with a different trend under the sea surface, and people will be carried down.

Of course, nowadays no one has time to go swimming there and back, and they don’t even have enough to eat! Farming is more important, and fishermen don't want to swim to lower their nets.

Others in the team didn't know what was going on there. They looked at the sea surface and compared it with the difference when they looked at the Yangtze River outlet before.

"No, you can't look with a telescope, it's shaking." Zhu Fan took a look and put down the telescope: "How many days can we get there?"
