Daming One Piece

Chapter 75 Fly Like a Bird (First update, please recommend, please collect)
What should I do if I lose?
Looking at him, Zheng Yiguan smiled coldly.

"Does Mr. Shi have any pledge?"

He didn't even wait for Shi Yiwen to answer, he just said.

"As for this ship, I think it's fine. If it can't hold a few thousand stones, it's useless if you want it."

waste?

Shi Yiwen glanced at Zheng Yiguan, and when he was about to speak, only Yan Ruyu said.

"Master Zheng doesn't like this ship, how about the Kangda that just came back?"

Yan Ruyu turned her head and said to Guo Huaiyi.

"Uncle Guo, you see that I am making my own decisions."

The Kangda is Yan Ruyu's only remaining ship, and Guo Huaiyi is the owner of that ship, upon hearing this, he said.

"Everything is under the orders of the head, and I believe that Mr. Shi can do what he says!"

Seeing them bet all their wealth, Shi Yiwen laughed.

"Since everyone believes in me, then I will definitely not disappoint everyone. In my opinion, let's load it!"

The cargo quickly filled the cabin, a total of [-] shi of various goods, including deerskin and cane sugar made by the natives. After these commodities were loaded on the ship, Shi Yiwen asked.

"Can Mr. Zheng go out to sea with the boat?"

"Go to sea together?"

Zheng Yiguan was taken aback for a moment, then thought of the uniqueness of this ship—it was nailed with wooden nails, and immediately shook his head and said.

"No, no, let's go by land, walk by land, see you sir!"

Dayuan, that is, the "Rejalan City" built by the Dutch, because of their relatively short distance, they have always been the most important trading object in Beigang.

Not only was the ship full of goods, but it was even equipped with two Frangler cannons. The ships of this era were unarmed and were simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Shi Yiwen made a show to Mo Na, he immediately moved the gangway away, then picked up a bamboo pole, and propped the boat away from the pier. Dahai turned the bow of the boat towards the sea, and when the boat sailed down the river towards the mouth of the river, Yan Ruyu, who was standing on the shore, waved at him, her eyes full of worry.

However, while worrying, he said to himself from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, it's okay, it's just a senior officer..."

After more than an hour, the boat that went down the river finally reached the sea.

Standing at the stern of the ship, Shi Yiwen first looked up at the weather vane on the top of the mast. Now the wind is blowing from the northeast, and the wind force is about force four.The city of Orange is in the south, so it happens to be a tailwind.

"Mr. Shi, the wind is smooth, and we can arrive at Dayuan tomorrow at the latest. This ship has just been built. Let's try not to go to the deep sea. Just go south along the coast. As long as you don't get too close, there are no hidden reefs on this coast."

Hearing Guo Huaiyi's suggestion, Shi Yiwen said casually.

"It's too slow to sail along the coast, and the wind direction on the shore is chaotic, keep a certain distance, try to hurry up!"

Shi Yiwen's thinking is very simple, he just wants to test how fast this ship is. If this ship can't run at a speed of ten knots under the condition of tailwind, then it is really useless. After all, its carrying capacity is limited. But only a few hundred tons.If there is no speed advantage, it would be a waste for this ship to be placed here.

"Master Shi, can this work?"

Guo Huaiyi said nervously.

"This is our first time going to sea."

"That's why we have to go to sea!"

Shi Yiwen laughed.

"Mona, hoist the sails!"

He also stopped talking nonsense with Guo Huaiyi, and directly yelled at the crowd, pulling up the sail rope.The rigging and sailing of a schooner are simple, and even to some extent, have some similarities with traditional Chinese sailing. For old sailors, it is easy to teach them.

As the mainsail was drawn higher and higher, the speed of the hull increased accordingly, and the sail bulged by the wind led the ship to sail forward. Driven by the sail, the nearly nine-foot-long sloop suddenly trembled. All of a sudden, it started to speed up like a sharp arrow leaving the string.Following Shi Yiwen's order, the sail was adjusted bit by bit with the sail rope, and the speed of the boat became faster and faster.

This boat is very fast!
Guo Huaiyi obviously felt that its speed was completely different from that of ordinary ships.

"This ship... has some articles!"

Although I don't know where there are articles on this boat, Guo Huaiyi, as the owner of the boat, is an expert in sailing. He has probably ridden more sailboats than Shi Yiwen has ever seen, but this is the first time he has come across a boat like this.

Hold on to the side rails of the boat.Guo Huai carefully observed Shi Yiwen's movements at first.

At this time, Shi Yiwen's orders came from the deck from time to time. Under his orders, the sails on the bow also rose, and the speed of the ship became faster and faster.

"This boat is so fast!"

Compared to the emotions of Guo Huaiyi and others, Shi Yiwen didn't think there was anything, after all, he had seen faster ships.It's about eleven or twelve nautical miles away, Shi Yiwen thought to himself.

"Master Shi, at this speed, we will be able to arrive at the master almost at night!"

Guo Huaiyi said excitedly.

"Always depends on the wind,"

Sailing these days depends on the weather, and if there is no wind, the ship can only float slowly on the sea.

Driven by the northeast wind, this small sloop rushed forward with the ups and downs of the waves, and the distance between it and the land became longer and longer. Always keep a distance where you can see the coastline.

At this moment, the wind on the sea suddenly became stronger. As a veteran of the sea, Guo Huaiyi's expression changed slightly.

"Master Shi, the wind speed has changed!"

"Hold on, the boat is going to speed up!"

Shi Yiwen looked up at the distant coastline again, and then ordered Fang Dahai to turn the steering wheel.

After the hull turned slightly, the strong crosswind not only fully inflated the sails, but also tilted the hull a little.

"Master Shi... Hurry up... Hurry up and furl the sails! Fuel the sails! Hurry up and furl the sails, if you continue to fill the sails like this, you will fall!"

Guo Huaiyi is a veteran of sailing boats at sea. If the hull tilts to such an extent and the sails are not reefed, there is only one consequence, and that is to fall over.

The other is to capsize the ship!

People on boats can't say "turn over", that's why they use this word.

"Captain Guo...don't worry, don't look at our ship is not big, but its stability is good, with this little wind, he can't fall..."

Not to mention the wind, it would not be a problem even if it was two levels higher. After all, in history, Srupa boats were famous for being good at navigating in harsh sea conditions. Winds of level six or seven can sail at full sail. .

"Da Yang, go to the cabin and pay attention to the gaps in the boards..." After all, this is a new ship, and the inspections that should be done are always to be done, especially as the waves increase, the waves hitting the ship itself are a test.

Of course, Shi Yiwen still needs to win now!

Not only must you win, but you must also win beautifully. Only in this way can you prove your superb shipbuilding skills and convince everyone!
