Chapter 655

After the storm, people were inspired, and the whole fleet was full of cheers.

However, Li Yuanqing is not too excited at this time, he has received the injury condition of this service.

After the concerted efforts of the officers and sailors, no ship sank or fell behind in this battle, but inevitably, there were more than a dozen casualties.

According to current statistics, at least six people were involved in the sea in the storm.

In such weather, even if you think with your toes, you can also guess that if you are involved in such a violent sea, you will never have a chance to survive.

Even if it's a mermaid, I'm afraid it can make you faint and drown

Fortunately, in terms of property, the fleet did not suffer too much loss, and the rigidity of the hull was barely able to make ends meet. Several ships had water leakage, but the problem was not too big. Everything was within the controllable range.

Before that, Li Yuanqing had also encountered a storm on the sea, but it was all in the Liaohai sea. Compared with this storm, it was really not a climate.

For the first time, Li Yuanqing really saw what a terrible thing it was to encounter a storm on the sea.

People want to win over the sky, at least, at this stage, it is a very, very difficult thing.

Fortunately, most of the people who fell into the sea were helpers and slaves. No soldiers or sailors died, which was a little reassuring to Li Yuanqing.

At this time, both soldiers and sailors were valuable resources for Li Yuanqing.

At the end of the day, his foundation is too thin.

At this time, Changsheng island seems to have a population of more than 100000, which is already a very big place. However, the real age of Changsheng island is only about 30000, and the number of slaves of all ethnic groups is no more than 50000.

Once there are casualties, even if it is not soldiers and sailors, it is enough to make Li Yuanqing heartache.

After all, even those tycoons, to a large extent, are only the private property of Li Yuanqing.

It's just that compared with the poor people, they are a little bit fattened by Li Yuanqing's sheep.

However, this storm is not a bad thing. At least, the morale of the children has been raised.

He ordered Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi to coordinate the operation of the fleet and repair the ship. Li Yuanqing returned to the cabin a little tired.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's boat was about 278 meters in length and eight or nine meters in height. It had more than a dozen rooms, and had 44 sailors. In addition to his own soldiers, cooks and other servants, he could hold almost a hundred people.

However, because of Li Yuanqing's wives, concubines and maids, more than 30 people came to the battle, and most of the rooms were occupied. The number of soldiers was reduced to about 30, and less than 100 people were on board.

It is not easy to get rid of the more than 30 female dependents and rely on these 60 or 70 people to break through the storm.

In fact, Li Yuanqing has been thinking that the structure of the steam engine is not too complicated. Even if he is not a scientist, he can easily understand whether he can take the lead in promoting the power beyond the times on the ships of Changsheng camp?

However, Li Yuanqing also understood that the smelting technology of iron and steel in Changsheng Island, including the whole Daming, was really a hard injury.

Therefore, in this battle, guns and money are only on the one hand. More than that, Li Yuanqing wants to collect more talents, earn enough money, and use the existing foundation of Changsheng island and he to accelerate the take-off mode of Changsheng island.

In the cabin, the top cabin is occupied by soldiers, the bottom cabin is occupied by sailors, and Li Yuanqing and his wives and concubines live in the middle level.

Apart from Li Yuanqing himself, this is a forbidden area, and no other men will be allowed to enter.

His whole body was wet through. When he came to the corridor of the cabin, Li Yuanqing took off his official robe and threw it on the ground, wearing only a pair of big underpants.

A maid and wife quickly and respectfully put away Li Yuanqing's clothes, saluted Li Yuanqing respectfully, and watched Li Yuanqing go inside.

At this time, although the storm had passed, Li Yuanqing ordered his wives, concubines, children and maids to stay in their own rooms and not to come out at will.

Li Yuanqing will explore room by room, check their situation, ask their needs, and pacify their emotions.

After finishing this circle, Li Yuanqing returned to Zhang Baozhu's room and sat down on the chair tired.

Zhang Baozhu had already changed into a new dry dress, but it was a loose and attractive suspender robe. In the middle of the room, a large bath tub had been placed. Her two maidens and a woman were carefully adding hot water to it.

Seeing Li Yuanqing back, Zhang Baozhu couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, are you tired? Let's take a hot bath first. I've already asked silk to prepare meals. "

All of them are private property of Li Yuanqing, who is not polite. He takes off his clothes and goes straight to the hot bucket.

When the bucket is designed, the buckle of the wooden chair has been made, and a small chair has been placed inside, which can directly sit on it and lean against the edge of the bath bucket.The water temperature is just fine.

Instantly, the chill dispersed, and Li Yuanqing's bones felt a bit crispy and numb. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Baozhu, have you washed it? Come and wash with me. "

Zhang Baozhu's pretty face was covered with a layer of blush, hesitated for a moment, or began to take off clothes, careful to come to the side of the barrel.

Li Yuanqing took her little hand and carried her bright and clean body like a saint into the barrel.

The woman who just came in carrying a bucket of water saw this. She left the bucket aside carefully and withdrew respectfully. The two pretty maids, red faced, were carefully waiting on Li Yuanqing and Zhang Baozhu.

Leaning against the barrel, he held Zhang Baozhu in his arms. His big hand played with Zhang Baozhu's fullness under the water. He said with a smile: "where is Shirang? Why didn't you see him? "

Zhang Baozhu's pretty face could not help redder. "She was carried by bi'er and went to sleep in the next room. I'll see him later

How can Li Yuanqing not understand Zhang Baozhu's intention? He couldn't help but smile and shook Zhang Baozhu's little hand, "Baozhu, it's hard for you. I didn't expect you to be so brave at a time like this. "

Zhang Baozhu also a smile: "Yuanqing, you gave me such courage. I didn't expect that you would dare to fight against such a big wave. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "we don't need to be so flattered. However, Baozhu, your performance today is really amazing to me. "

"Ha ha."

Zhang Baozhu looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile, "so, Yuanqing, I am also very strong. Don't try to fool me with little tricks. However, here today, we have already encountered a storm, and in the future... "

Zhang Baozhu looked at Li Yuanqing with some consternation. She had already turned to face Li Yuanqing and sat on Li Yuanqing's thigh.

Looking at Zhang Baozhu's delicate face, Li Yuanqing slightly turned his head and slowly vomited out a long breath.

"Baozhu, no one can say anything about the sea! Therefore, we can only be fully prepared. However, according to common sense, there should be no storm in this season! Why are we so lucky? How could it be that such a big storm happened in Chaoshan

Zhang Baozhu was also speechless: "Yuanqing, the innocence of these years is more and more changeable. It is said that there may be another severe drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi this year

With that, Zhang Baozhu sighed softly, leaning against Li Yuanqing's arms like a soft kitten.

Li Yuanqing certainly understands Zhang Baozhu's feelings.

Although Zhang Baozhu had already followed him at this time, she was still quite concerned about the state affairs of Daming before she put it down completely.

However, although Li Yuanqing knew that this was the capricious climate during the little ice age, he could not tell Zhang Baozhu clearly. He gently held Zhang Baozhu's smooth silk jade back and gently rubbed him, "Baozhu, you don't have to worry too much about this. The court should have prepared for this and there will be no big problem."

Zhang Baozhu nodded, "it's just bitter for those people!"

Li Yuanqing laughed: "if you don't have a position, you don't want to deal with it. Baozhu, you need to relax. As much as you have the ability, you have to take into account the big things. Let's take care of our eyes first. "

"Well."

Zhang Baozhu nodded with a smile and gave Li Yuanqing a kiss. "Yuanqing, do you have any plans for the future? When can we get to Nanyang? "

Li Yuanqing laughed, but he had already found the right feeling. He grabbed Zhang Baozhu's slender waist and entered the most familiar position. He said with a smile: "it's not until the middle of April. According to common sense, the biggest storm season on the sea is after June and July. Let's try to get to Macao in three or two days, and reach Nanyang before June! "

Zhang Baozhu originally wanted to ask Li Yuanqing more, but as Li Yuanqing's movements became more and more powerful, she had already softened into a ball and no longer had half strength. She just instinctively held Li Yuanqing's neck tightly

………

Four and a half days later, the fleet arrived in Macao.

At dusk, such a huge fleet arrived. The Portuguese in Macao were very frightened and were ready to enter the fighting state.

However, Li Yuanqing had been prepared to send a speedboat in to inform the Portuguese. The Portuguese realized that they were busy opening the harbor and wharf to let the fleet of Changsheng Island come in.

For Li Yuanqing's name, even if these Portuguese are far away in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty in Macao, they have heard of it for a long time.

Represented by the Macao governor's office, seven or eight Portuguese nobles gathered to invite Li Yuanqing and his wives and concubines to the Macao governor's house for a banquet.

Unfortunately, two weeks ago, the governor of Macao had just left for Nanyang. At this time, his deputy, Juan Thomas, was staying here.

Juan Thomas is also a real Portuguese dignitary.

But this kind of thing, with the buttocks to think, can also think clearly, if anyone in the country to mix well, who is willing to go far away, leave home to come to Daming?

Li Yuanqing is not proficient in Portuguese, and his English is barely enough.However, Joseph seems to be very familiar with Juan Thomas, and Juan Thomas is also very proficient in Chinese, and communication is not a big obstacle.

After some greetings, Juan Thomas respectfully presented a glass of wine to Li Yuanqing, and could not help but exclaimed: "Dear General Li, I, I really can't imagine that you should have such a magnificent spirit. Is the terminal point of your voyage, the Persian Gulf of the Arabian Sea?"
