Chapter 62 Denglai Fleet!(1/2)
The transportation of materials is easier than the transport of population.
There are already more than 400 new forces here, and soon, Shark Island will also select more people, so Xu Changqing only needs to control the general direction.
But the supplies in the Green Snake Forest cannot be transported out today, let alone those in Ningyuan City.
However, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry, and the overall situation was under control at this time.
He just needs to stare here for a day or two, and then let Uncle Guang lead his men to transport them slowly.
However, it is necessary to build more bamboo rafts. After all, it will take another big trouble to go from Shark Island to that new island.
Thinking of this, Xu Changqing's heart suddenly moved!
Can you...can you get some boats from the Denglai fleet?
At this time, with Li Hongyun's previous popular science, Xu Changqing also had more understanding of the Ming Dynasty's ships.
Although there are some warships in the Denglai fleet, more of them are ordinary sand ships that transport people and cargo, just like the three ships that Li Hongyun sold to Xu Changqing.
These sand boats are actually not very valuable.
At this time, Xu Changqing still had tens of thousands of taels of silver. If he could spend some more money, he would follow the path of officials from Denglai and build ten or eight ships, which seemed... not impossible.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was feasible.
Even it is not difficult to tell Hong Chengchou to come forward.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing gave up on asking Hong Chengchou to come forward.
Lao Hong is really unpredictable.
As the saying goes, “Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger!”
It's better to be more secretive in this kind of thing.
Li Hongyun was on Juehua Island at this time, so it shouldn't be a big problem for him to be this middle-aged man.
…
The night had sunk, and the air by the sea was a little cold.
Xu Changqing lay in the tent, but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
There is no big problem with Li Hongyun coming forward, and the news has been handed over to him. I think Li Hongyun should be here tomorrow morning.
But the favor of the Li family is a bit too big...
Especially, I was a little used to warm fragrance and soft jade around me. At this time, Shaoyao and the others all went to Shark Island. The beside me was so anxious that Xu Changqing suddenly couldn't accept it.
"Haha, it's really hard to get from extravagance to frugality."
After turning over, he was about to close his eyes and rest and take enough energy to deal with tomorrow's affairs, Xu Changqing suddenly found that his chest was bulging. He hadn't read the handwritten letter from his mother brought by Xu Zhong and the others.
Xu Changqing hurriedly sat up, took out the letter, and looked carefully.
After all, my mother, Yang, was a lady from a great family and she wrote beautifully on her running script.
In the letter, Yang no longer educated Xu Changqing in a violent manner like before. He focused on encouragement. He also stated in detail that his family would continue to provide stronger support to Xu Changqing, so that Xu Changqing would be cautious and be cautious. Don’t be too impulsive because of trying to be outstanding, which will make yourself in a passive situation.
As Xu Changqing looked at it, his heart felt warm, as if he saw his mother writing a letter to him under the lamp.
Finally, Yang briefly introduced some of the relationship between the Xu family and Cao Bianjiao. After looking at it for a while, Xu Changqing felt something was wrong.
Because his mother Yang said it more clearly that Cao Bianjiao and his father Xu Huchen had a friendship that was very strong!
This made Xu Changqing feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
Could it be that I have been guessing wrong before? Cao Bianjiao is not because of his mother's side... but because of his father's side...?
No wonder that guy kept treating himself as his nephew...
After a while, Xu Changqing calmed down and his whole mood suddenly became much clearer.
Human beings are actually
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The body is complicated.
Even though Xu Changqing is a time traveler, many things are very clear about the principle, but when things really need to be specific to him, it is completely different.
From the perspective of family affection, Xu Changqing hopes that his mother can find another person. After all, he has been lonely for many years and has depended on each other for life. This kind of life is by no means normal people can imagine.
However, from the perspective of righteousness, Xu Changqing hopes to maintain the status quo. After all, his father sacrificed his life for the country and has always been very good to his mother.
This is actually a conflicting proposition itself.
But then again, as a son, if the mother really has this idea in the future, no matter how she chooses, she will definitely be a supportive attitude!
…
The letter from his mother made Xu Changqing sleep very peacefully this night, as if there was a sustenance in his soul and a harbor to live in.
Early the next morning, Li Hongyun rushed over.
He didn't expect that Xu Changqing had such a big appetite and actually set his sights on the ship of the Denglai Navy.
However, when Xu Changqing thought of him at the first time, he found him and asked him to be the intermediary. Li Hongyun felt extremely comfortable and was extremely proud.
The two of them were already very familiar with each other and didn't talk much nonsense. After a brief exchange of the core, Li Hongyun went directly to the fleet.
Xu Changqing rested here for a while, had breakfast, and arranged some material affairs. He brought Zhao Zengjin and a dozen people to the eastern part of Ningyuan to check out the huge fleet of the Denglai Naval Division.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, navigation technology was actually quite developed and was definitely one of the world's top ranks.
What a pity.
White clouds and gloomy dogs, world changes.
With the boss who claimed to be a capable minister, he closed the door and burned all the information of the Three Treasures eunuchs' treasure ship. History is forked here...
But even though the Ming Dynasty has been following the strategy of maritime ban, this kind of thing is actually not thorough enough. To put it bluntly, the profit is too high, and it is enough for many businessmen who are not afraid of death to work with their heads.
Correspondingly, even if the Ming Dynasty's navy was not too strong, they were definitely not weak.
However, in the northern region, the real navy strength of the Ming Dynasty was mainly three parts, one was the Juehua Island Navy in western Liaoning, the other was the Denglai Navy in the Peninsula, and the third was the Tianjin Navy in Tianjin.
But after the fall of Juehua Island, the navy group that had the most elite manpower in the Ming Dynasty and should have played its most effective role was almost destroyed...
In addition, the constant harassment of the Tartars made it extremely difficult to make warships along the entire north, let alone warships, even if they were small broken boats.
Even the Denglai Navy is a bit tragic.
The Kong Youde Rebellion that time, Denglai was almost uprooted, and the Denglai Navy also suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, at this time, Su Guansheng, the head of the Denglai Coast Guard and the Tianjin Navy, was a ruthless person. He directly incorporated the Tianjin Navy into the Denglai Navy and managed it together, so that his strength was concentrated.
Even so, Denglai's fleet seemed huge at this time, but in fact there were very few warships. This huge fleet of hundreds of ships may have less than 20% of the warships.
But even so, this huge shock and deterrent power, even Xu Changqing from later generations, was still a little excited and excited, and yearned for it!
This continuous and magnificent size is so spectacular and exciting!
It is definitely dozens or hundreds of times more spectacular than the 100 luxury car fleets of those rich people in later generations!
The coastline on the east side of Ningyuan City is actually not very flat, with many reef groups and no excellent bays for the huge fleet to be parked. At this time, the fleet is parked in an area close to the inland sea.
However, both sides are very experienced and have been built, both sides are already very experienced.

A large number of floating bridges were set up, various small boats, and their hands were already on track like ants, and they were transporting supplies often.
Although this efficiency is not too fast, it is not slow either. It is estimated that it will take about three or two days to clean up.
After the ship at the moment was emptied, it drove away, went around to the back to moor, and the ships behind continued to fill up.
Still very orderly.
Soon, Xu Changqing saw Hong Chengchou and his group coming, and the generals of the army supervisor Zhang Ruoqi and the generals of the troops were all on the list.
This batch of supplies from Denglai directly affects the core lifeline of this war. Obviously, no one dares to neglect it.
Xu Changqing thought for a while and did not lean towards Hong Chengchou.
Even at this time, Xu Changqing was already qualified to come over and chat with many bigwigs and brag about it.
But at this time, it is better to be low-key in the face of this core lifeline.
Otherwise, others would think that they were mere guerrillas and would have to worry about these materials, which would not be a good sign.
…
Time passes quickly.
Before noon, Hong Chengchou and many generals were jokingly dragging the civil servants and generals of Denglai to Ningyuan City for lunch.
Xu Changqing's side was already familiar with some of the Denglai soldiers at the rear of the fleet.
Xu Changqing was from Shandong in his later generations. His hometown was very close to Denglai, and his hometown dialect was open. It was not difficult to get along with these generals and soldiers.
In addition, Xu Changqing was generous and asked Zhao Zengjin to take people to Ningyuan City to buy a lot of good wine and vegetables, and brought a lot of fresh fish from the Qingshe Forest, which was stewed directly in the big pot on the boat.
Xu Changqing accompanied more than a dozen officers around him, chatting while eating. The atmosphere was excellent and he soon received a lot of news that he wanted to know.
