Hangzhou Bay.

The sky is clear and the Bay of Hangzhou is lively.

Today is the fifth day of the fifth month, the Dragon Boat Festival.

The 20,000 navy and 30,000 army gathered here held a party today and held a unique dragon boat competition.

The people in Hangzhou also came to the beach to watch.

After all, dragon boats are available every year, but it is not common to row on the sea. Especially with such a large scale and so lively.

The army even brought three thousand ducks, and after the competition, they would put three thousand ducks into the sea and let everyone catch them. Everyone can catch them, and whoever catches them will belong to them.

Today's life is not good. If you can catch two ducks, you can also improve your life. Moreover, you have been unhappy recently. Going to the sea to catch ducks is considered to be poor and happy, and you have had a lot of joy in suffering.

The drums rumble.

Long dragon boats are sailing together, riding the wind and waves on the blue sea.

Dragon boats are very slender and more suitable for paddling in a world where there is no romantic atmosphere. Rowing dragon boats on the sea is indeed very technically tested.

But when hundreds of long dragon boats are racing on the sea together, it is indeed very spectacular.

Thousands of soldiers were squeezing together, and under the trumpet of the bow commander and under the drums of the drummers, they shouted together.

Sweat splashes and waves splash.

The people on the shore were fascinated by the sight and cheered loudly.

Bay side.

Hundreds of warships, troop transport ships, grain ships, reconnaissance boats, communication boats, etc. of the Navy were neatly parked in the military port. There were not many people in the military port, and everyone came to see the dragon boat race.

For those soldiers, they actually didn't really want to go out to march south.

Who doesn’t know that King Zhao is a god of war and is known as the God of War. He goes to Guangzhou to fight, and this is a delivery of food.

This Dragon Boat Festival may be the last time everyone relaxed before going to war.

The troops have been assembled, the food, grass and weapons have been loaded on the ship, and the soldiers have been reorganized. Tomorrow, they will set sail.

"One, two, three, hey hey!"

"one two three!"

"Hey hey!"

A dragon boat is like an arrow leaving the string, riding the wind and waves, leaving other dragon boats far behind.

Everyone tried hard to beat the pulp. If they got the first place, they would have a total of 840 guan coins, not paper money, but a real Zhenguan copper coins.

They were paddling a big dragon boat, and there were forty-two people on a dragon boat. There were thirty-six rowers, one with one in front and back tips, one with one in each holding flag, one with drums, gongs, and one with the gods.

If they win the championship, they will have twenty coins per person.

This reward is also called the bonus, and is taken out by the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. The top ten each have different rewards. Even the three thousand ducks were bought by the Chamber of Commerce.

"Let's work harder!"

This team of sailors from the Dengzhou Fleet of the Beiyang Navy, with their professional skills, left others far behind.

In front, the sea and the sky are the same color.

"What is that?"

The outpost pointed forward in surprise.

A tall mast.

Then, a flag.

"Blue Flag!"

Since Lingnan rebelled and the court issued an order to ban sea ships from moving south, although there are still sea ships entering and leaving in Hangzhou Bay, it is far worse than going there. After all, there are only so many domestic sales and ships to Silla and Japan.

"Blue Flag?"

Another mast appeared, and a second blue flag appeared.

"Blue Flag?" The whistleman was surprised and screamed, "It's the Southern Army!"

The blue dragon flag is the navy flag of the country's imperial court, and the army is the Panlong flag.

The third mast appears, and the third dragon blue flag appears.

At this time, the first ship had revealed more.

White sail.

The hull painted as a white ship's side.

This is a warship with a narrow hull.

The entire ship has a double-layer gun deck, and a total of 48 artillery guns. The new Yinglong-class battleship of the State-Guangzhou Navy is located in the imperial court.

This is a warship that even the imperial navy has not equipped.

It is larger, longer, more artillery fire, and more soldiers than the main battleships of the imperial navy. It is even stronger in the ship deck.

"Battleship!"

"The warship of the Southern Army!"

One warship after another appeared in the horizon.

Blue sky and blue sea.

Flocks of warships.

White sails dotted.

The drummer and the gong player have stopped beating the gong, and no one of the pulp players has beaten the pulp anymore.

Everyone looked up and looked ahead.

A huge fleet appeared and suddenly appeared.

Behind them.

Dragon boats are still striving forward.

The second place was far from the first place, but suddenly, the first place stopped moving.

"What's wrong with them?"

"Are these people stupid?"

"I'm simply looking down on people."

"Brothers, hurry up and surpass them, let their navy members see the strength of our infantry."

The whistle hand was working hard to encourage.

But I found that my teammates who were supposed to be paddling stopped.

Someone reached out and pointed at him. "Look!"

The whistle hand turned his head and was stunned.

“So many ships!”

"Ah, it's a warship. Turn around quickly!"

Dragon boats will not turn around. When they turn back, the crew will turn around and adjust the direction and row together.

The first dragon boat has been adjusted and has begun to row back.

Second, he was also busy getting up and changing positions.

Behind them.

“It’s quite lively.”

Zhang Chao stood on the deck and looked at the panicked dragon boats.

Chengqian stood beside him, "Today is Dragon Boat Festival."

He couldn't help but think of the Dragon Boat Festival last year. That time, the emperor's break with him began. He was taken away from the You Palace. Many important ministers, including Ma Zhou, were demoted from the capital.

It was a May storm.

Although it was relieved a little later, the father and son finally came to an end.

A magical scene appeared in Hangzhou Bay.

The dragon boats that were originally striving for the first place ran back in panic.

And behind them, a huge fleet was like a tiger driving the flock of sheep.

On one dragon boat after another, the dragon boat hands were all out of their minds.

"Damn, where did these fleets emerge?"

"Of course I came from Guangzhou and Fuzhou, and I need to say."
