Chapter 952: Receive the crown prince on board

?

In the early morning of August 27, 1648, the morning light was shining, the port of Aden, Arabian Peninsula.

The ships are anchored on the anchorage as a whole, and there are battleships, cruise ships, frigates, sea cruisers, training ships, transport ships, etc., in dense rows.

This is the largest stronghold in the westernmost part of the Chinese southeast control. The Chinese have come all the way and worked hard to develop.

It was still early, but the sailors on the morning shift were already busy wiping the ship, cleaning up the rigging.

Even in Hong Kong, the sailors on duty are still armed with guns and will not be taken lightly.

In the distance is the civilian port, where ships enter and leave the port, and a tumultuous day is about to begin.

On the shore next to the military port is the new city of Aden. The strong fortifications built by the Chinese abruptly. The city walls are tall and towering, with artillery arrays, and soldiers patrolling. It is as indestructible as a copper wall and an iron wall!

The large tract of land outside the city is surrounded by ancillary facilities such as vegetable plots, pig farms, chicken farms, cattle farms, and camel farms, etc., while the square array of houses on the seaside are arranged, which is the Chinese water artifact "solar sea water". Distiller"!

Among the many warships in the military port, there is a cruise ship that is particularly eye-catching. This is the "Bali-class" five-tier cruise ship No. 181 with 36 guns. It is the newest naval force of the Southeast Fleet and belongs to the latest class of warships. .

In the Southeast Fleet sequence, both the "Southeast Asia Class" Tier 3 battleship, the "Kaohsiung II Tier" Tier 6 cruiser and the "Bali Class" Tier 5 cruiser are all ocean-going warships.

Compared with the previous “Nanhai-class” third-tier battleships, the “Kaohsiung I-class” sixth-tier cruisers and the “Beigang-class” fifth-tier cruisers, the new type of battleship has increased tonnage, fierce firepower, longer self-sustainability, and the crew’s The environment has improved, and the "Bali-class" five-tier cruiser, as the latest ocean-going warship, has better conditions.

The 181 ship has three masts, a displacement of 800 tons, and a capacity of 248 people (the reputation of two hundred and five is spread, so the navy does not kill two hundred and fifty people). It has 20 18-pound cannons, 16 12-pound cannons, and a gun deck. All 18-pounder guns were loaded, and 12-pounder guns were mounted on the weather deck.

It is made of cedar, and the mast is a streamlined teak hull, clean and neat, with good rigging, and very fast. Well-trained officers and soldiers can manipulate it to catch up with various civilian ships and warships when the wind is suitable.

It has a larger cargo hold that can carry more cargo, a coal hold and a "solar sea water distiller", and more unpowered exhaust fans on the ship's hull to make the crew live more comfortable.

Excellent craftsmanship, it is the top killer of ocean hunting, and is admired by others!

Being able to serve on a warship like this is a happy and comfortable place for naval officers and soldiers.

At more than eight o'clock in the morning, the officers on ship 181 finished their breakfast and began patrols.

The captain is Lieutenant Colonel Shi Lang!

He is very young and promising. He is less than 30 years old, but he has rich qualifications. As the chief of the navy, he participated in the navy's voyage around the world. Such a level of navigation is leveraged!

Then he participated in many battles, especially in the recent World War II. He fought the rambutan in Southeast Asia, and fought the rambutan again in Ceylon. He has made outstanding achievements, so he improved very quickly.

Originally, it was not a problem for him to be a deputy captain on a battleship. With more qualifications, he would be able to "board the dragon's gate" at about 30 years old!

The Southeast Fleet called the battleship captain "Dragon Gate", which was the honor of a naval officer, but he eventually became the captain of the fifth-tier cruise ship. It was not a delegation, but a recognition of him. He accepted a special Mission, today he will receive a very special crew, so he cruises the entire ship, meticulously, and strives to show good posture.

At about ten in the morning, a large paddle boat in the military port acted as a traffic boat, rowing towards Ship 181, and quickly stopped next to Ship 181. Then, the crew on board shouted to the officers and soldiers on the ship: "Aden Marine Police Lieutenant Colonel Chen Xin of the District Operations Office requested to board the ship!"

"Allowed to board the ship!" the ship's star officer said loudly.

Soon, by climbing the hanging net from the ship, a lieutenant colonel first appeared on the starboard bulwark, followed by two young naval officers, and two and a half older boys also climbed up. Then there were ten sailors, all of them carrying large military bags on their own and landed on the deck of the cruise ship.

The two boys look very sunny, describing them as handsome, but their faces are a little tanned. See that their movements are capable, well-nourished, tall and muscular, and they are obviously trained.

The veterans on ship 181 whispered: "Damn, are we so badly short of staff? Have the kids been recruited too?!"

The sergeant smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, people have a much better future than us!"

The Southeast Army has a juvenile military academy, which recruits war orphans, children of powerful families, and children of meritorious services to enroll in school. They receive training from an early age and join the army when they grow up. They belong to the direct line, and they have a great future!

Shi Lang greeted Chen Xin, "It's nice to meet you, Chief Chen!"

Chen Xin complained: "Ah, climbing up almost lost my life!"

Because of the mooring in the sea, the personnel of the warship can only climb up on their own.

"Then next time I put a hanging basket and use a hoist to lift you up!" Shi Lang smiled lightly.

"Don't, so I will be in the news and newspapers, I will be famous!" Chen Xin shook his head and said, "Those uncles have the right to supervise!"

"Come on, let me introduce it!" Chen Xin said enthusiastically.

He first introduced two young officers, one was Captain Lei Ming, who was going to serve as the deputy navigator of the 181 ship, and the other was Lieutenant Wang Le, who was an officer of the Marine Corps on board.

They all gave a military salute to the captain, and Shi Lang returned the salute, welcoming them to board the ship, saying that with their participation, the 181 ship would be made even better.

Both Lieutenant Lei Ming and Lieutenant Wang Le were experienced people, and they were added to be officers on ship 181.

"This is Warrant Officer Yang Hu! He is Warrant Officer Jian Wenyue!" Chen Xin introduced the two and a half-year-old children. They should be a little over fifteen years old, but are trainee officers.

The two young children stepped out and first saluted Shi Lang. Shi Lang remained silent and returned the military salute. He exhorted him decently: "You are welcome to join us, and work hard!"

But Shi Lang's heart was far from being as calm as it seemed. He was an insider and knew where Yang Hu was sacred.

Wang's eldest son Yan Kun!

King Yan Changwu and Queen Yang Ying'er had three sons, the eldest son, nicknamed Daha and Husky, named Yan Kun; the second son, nicknamed Ersha and Samoyed, named Yan Yu; third son, nicknamed third Silly, Alaska, whose name is Yan Chong.

It is a folk custom to use such a ugly nickname, so it is easy to grow up. If you use the sky-defying name like "Tianyi" since childhood, it is easy to be taken away by ghosts from all walks of life.

And the uncommon words like Kun, Yu, and Chong will reduce the trouble for the common people in the future!

The feudal system is highly hierarchical ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The names of the rulers must be avoided by the common people. For example, the Northern Song Dynasty minister Wen Yanbo, whose ancestor was named Jing, changed his surname to Wen to avoid the taboo of the late Jin ancestor Shi Jingtang.

When the Jin Dynasty was defeated, his family surnamed Jing again, but the Northern Song Dynasty established, in order to avoid the name of Zhao Jingzhi, Zhao Yuyin and his Laozi, he changed back to the writing.

If you use a common name, you won't hurt the people!

Yan Kun went to a military academy since he was a child, first elementary school, then an officer reserve, and joined the navy as a warrant officer. From his mother's surname, the name is Yang Hu. Only Captain Shi Lang and fellow Jian Wenyuehe who know his identity are on the ship. Wang Le is just three people.

And his second brother Yan Yu and him are twin brothers who joined the army.

Judging from joining the service, I know that Yan Kun is likely to take over in the future. After all, the navy has a high status in the army.

Therefore, as long as Shi Lang assists Yan Kun, his status as a potential resident will definitely not be low in the future!

Of course, if Young Master Yan Kun had anything, Shi Lang would also eat it.

The greater the risk, the greater the return!
