Chapter 148: The useless purple passive.
Then Su Ze found Captain Alfonso and began to discuss sailing with him.
After talking with each other these days, Su Ze discovered that Captain Alfonso was indeed an adventurous adventurer.
Portugal, a small country, was able to usher in a vigorous age of navigation, which is inseparable from these adventurous navigators.
Su Ze also saw two sides in people like Alfonso.
On the one hand, they are speculators, and they are also the executioners and butchers of many indigenous civilizations. Some of them even make guest appearances as pirates at sea, which is not as vivid as they are in history books.
But on the other hand, they are indeed very adventurous. The old captain is fifty-nine years old and is still full of enthusiasm for exploring the world.
This passion was his exploration and thirst for knowledge about the unknown world, and it was this spirit that led the Age of Discovery.
Exploration, the ancient Chinese ancestors also used to explore all the land they could see.
From the time when the Emperor of Zhou divided the princes into feudal states and spread the fire of Chinese civilization through the princely states, today's Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the two lakes were considered backward and backward areas in the Song Dynasty. In later generations, these places were completely the core areas of Chinese civilization, and everything was the same as before. Related to the development that lasted for thousands of years.
Our ancestors were also exploring maritime frontiers. Xu Fu built ships and went to sea since the Qin Dynasty, and the Quanzhou Port in the Song Dynasty was crowded with thousands of sails.
But in the Ming Dynasty, the country suddenly closed its door and stopped its pace of opening up. Every time Su Ze read this, he was full of regrets.
Now Suze has a chance to change. He asks Captain Alfonso for sailing skills, how to manage sailors and how to operate a sailboat.
[Acquire skill transfer and learn the skill "Navigation". Do you want to learn it? 】
Skills can be triggered like this?
Of course I’m learning!
[Navigation skills have been learned, Lv1, 1/100]
Su Ze couldn't help but be overjoyed. Navigation is also a key skill these days. He didn't expect that he didn't know how to speak Portuguese, so he accidentally learned the navigation skills.
At that time, Su Ze was wandering around in the captain's cabin of the New World for a long time, but failed to learn the navigation skills.
By the way, tips, teach!
In other words, it is not only triggered by location, but also skills can be obtained by teaching!
It seems that Captain Alfonso did the right thing by giving him preferential treatment!
We need to squeeze out some more skills and experience from him!
While practicing Portuguese, Suze learned from Captain Alfonso how to become a captain.
It really benefited a lot.
Asked again, Captain Alfonso turned out to be a major. He graduated from the world's first navigation school, the Sagres School in Portugal.
This was founded by Prince Enrique, a Portuguese man who supported navigation in the textbooks, and cultivated a large number of sailing talents in Portugal.
Captain Alfonso, who has a professional background, also studied astronomy at a university in Lisbon and is able to use professional equipment such as quadrants and horizontal scales.
If it weren't for his gambling addiction, a respected gentleman like him should be enjoying a leisurely retirement life in a big house in Lisbon.
Su Ze couldn't care less about the joy of upgrading his Portuguese to Level 5. He directly pulled Captain Alfonso and said:
"Captain Alfonso, I am planning to build a navigation school in Changning Wei, and I want to hire you as a professor!" Hearing this
! With the word "professor", Captain Alfonso thought that he had been invited by the University of Lisbon, but at that time he was addicted to spending money in the casino, so he naturally rejected the invitation.
When he was in debt, the University of Lisbon was naturally unwilling to hire him again.
Unexpectedly, I would receive another invitation to be a university professor in this faraway eastern country.
Su Ze said very sincerely: "I hope you can teach here for a year. When the lecture is over, I am willing to pay you high-quality silk and porcelain as a reward for your lecture." Captain Alfonso's eyes lit up, Ming
Dynasty The finest silk products and porcelain are rarely exported. These are the most valuable commodities in the entire Eastern trade!
The knight Suze was willing to pay such a price, giving Captain Alfonso, who already had nothing anyway, new hope.
By being able to return to the West with these goods, I can enjoy my old age in peace.
As for the loss of the New World, aren't you, the ship owner, responsible for this?
Having made up his mind, Alfonso felt more comfortable about staying in Changning Guard.
Su Ze is checking the system prompts.
[Skill 'Portuguese' breaks through Lv5, please choose passive skills! 】
A purple ray of light mixed with two green rays of light, but this language skill actually has purple?
Su Ze slightly regretted that after upgrading so many skills to Level 5, he also mastered some rules.
Passive skills must be related to skills that reach Lv5. They are basically passive skills that strengthen this skill.
A Portuguese skill came out in purple, which made Su Ze feel like it was a waste of character.
Compared to ordinary skills like Portuguese, Su Ze is more willing to use golden and purple passives on more critical skills.
But after seeing this purple passive, Su Ze felt that it smelled really good again.
The three purple and two green passive skills are:
[Purple Passive - Language Genius: Learning any language automatically has Lv2 basic communication skills by default, and the level of already existing language skills is +1.]
[Green Passive - Translation Expert : Translate Portuguese books, Portuguese skills +1. ]
[Green Passive - Portuguese Writer: Write literary books in Portuguese, Portuguese skills +1. 】
Level 1 in any linguistics is probably equivalent to knowing the daily speaking ability of less than 300 words, which is considered to be the point where you can barely communicate.
Lv2 is equivalent to having a speaking ability of 600 vocabulary, which is almost enough for daily communication.
Level 3 is equivalent to having a speaking ability with a vocabulary of 1000, and communication that does not involve professional terms is no longer a problem.
Level 4 is equal to the ability to speak and simple writing with a vocabulary of 1500, which can almost meet most communication needs.
Level 5 is a small qualitative change, and you can communicate and write fluently.
Level 10 means being proficient in various contextual slangs of the language and being able to understand jokes and sayings in the language background.
Level 15 means being completely proficient in a language, can be used in formal business negotiations and diplomatic rhetoric, and can understand various classics.
Each level after Lv15 is the level at which you can use this language to write professional books and literary masterpieces. Of course, professional skills and literary skills must also reach the corresponding level.
This purple passive language genius allows Su Ze to be proficient in almost all languages and to communicate simply with anyone who speaks the language.
It is indeed a divine skill!
But if you think about it carefully, it's not that magical. Originally, Su Ze's system allowed him to trigger skills when communicating with anyone, automatically learning Lv1 skills, and reaching Lv2 was just a hundred conversations away.
No wonder it's just a purple skill, but it's also very powerful.
Choosing this skill decisively, Su Ze now has three free attribute points.
I looked at the attributes again:
Su Ze, male, 25 years old.
Intelligence: 10
Strength: 10
Agility: 4
Charm: 6
Attribute points to be allocated: 3
Finally, I feel a little safer. In the remaining days of August, apart from studying at the School of Health, Su Ze basically spent time in the dock.
"Uncle Xianzong! This scissor-shaped bow can cut through the waves and increase the sailing speed!"
When Lin Mojun came to the dock, he rarely heard Su Ze arguing with someone.
In Lin Mojun's impression, Su Ze had always been that handsome gentleman, and it was rare to see him quarreling with others.
But Lin Xianzong, the master craftsman of the shipyard, refused to give in: "It's impossible for a boat like yours to sail! With its sharp bottom and hollow bow, a boat like yours will capsize in a wave!" Su Ze didn't give in and said, "While sailing
, The resistance of sea water is an important factor that affects the sailing speed. My design is to reduce the draft volume of the bilge! The hollow bow is to tilt the bow and increase the stability of navigation!" Lin Xianzong still said uncompromisingly:
" If a boat like this sails into the sea, it is a waste of human life!"
The two of them couldn't argue, and their eyes lit up when they saw Lin Mojun coming.
"Hundred households!"
"Hundred households, you come to judge!"
Lin Mojun was surrounded by two people and saw Su Ze unfolding a piece of paper on which he drew a strange ship with charcoal.
The bottom of the ship is pointed, the bow is like a scissors, the cabin is very narrow, but the ship is long and slender, and it looks completely different from ordinary ships.
On such a small ship, Su Ze actually designed three sets of masts.
"What kind of ship is this?"
Lin Mojun has been sailing on the sea for many years and has never seen such a ship.
Lin Xianzong said: "You haven't seen it in hundreds of households, have you? The boat in Mr. Su's picture is too funny. This kind of boat cannot sail at all."
Su Ze said: "This thing is called a clipper boat, and it can cut through the waves and travel day and night. Qianli is a first-class fast ship. We only need to build a few such ships, and we can rush into the Japanese warships and detonate gunpowder." "
I have never seen such a ship, and I have never seen anything like this. Drawings, this kind of ship cannot be said to sail on the ocean, and it cannot withstand the wind and waves in the offshore."
The two argued, and Lin Mojun finally chose to support Su Ze.
She said: "Uncle Xianzong, why don't you let Mr. Su try to build one?"
Lin Xianzong saw Lin Mojun also helping Su Ze and said angrily: "I won't help!"
After saying this, Lin Xianzong He left angrily.
For craftsmen like them, the family drawings are the classics that scholars follow, and there is no room for blasphemy.
Lin Mojun said: "Mr. Su, Uncle Xianzong is like this. Shipbuilding is related to the lives of the crew, so there is no room for any problems."
Su Ze nodded and said: "I built this ship to rush into the Japanese pirates faster. , anyway, there is no need for people to control the ship, so what’s the harm in trying to build one?"
Seeing that Lin Mojun seemed to have something to say, Su Ze suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter with Baihu?"
Lin Mojun seemed to have something to say. Mojun nodded and said, "Yesterday, I contacted the Keti nearby and got the latest news about the Japanese pirates from them." "
Keti?"
Lin Mojun finally saw that Su Ze had something he didn't know about. She Showing a trace of cunning, he said:
"I didn't expect that Mr. Su also had something he didn't know."
However, Lin Mojun did not sell out, but explained:
"These Keti live on boats. It is said that they are descendants of Yuan Meng, because they are often on boats. To live a healthy life, I often sit cross-legged in the cabin with my knees bent and my feet bent, hence the name."
Su Ze suddenly realized that he was actually a member of the Dan family.
The Dan family are people who live on boats. They usually live in the lower reaches of the Pearl River. I didn't expect that there are such boat people in Fujian.
Lin Mojun continued: "These Keti are well-informed at sea. They have received favors from me before, so I asked them for information, and I found out the movements of King Lu." "How?" Lin Mojun said seriously
:
" It’s not good.”
“The Deer King has landed on Dong’ao Island.”
This Dong’ao Island is not the small island near Zhuhai, but a large island in the sea east of Fuzhou.
This island is huge with fresh water and forests. In the early Ming Dynasty, beacon towers and fortresses were built on this island.
Later, life on the island became really difficult, and the Fujian Dusi Yamen felt that such a group of officers and soldiers stationed overseas might participate in smuggling or rebellion, so they simply withdrew the garrison on Dong'ao Island to land.
After losing Dong'ao Island, every time Japanese pirates invaded Fujian, they would station themselves on this island and use this island as a stronghold to attack coastal towns.
"Dong'ao Island is only two days' voyage from Fuzhou Prefecture, and only three days' voyage from our Changning Guard. Now all the coastal guard stations dare not go out to fight, and the Japanese pirates wantonly plunder the coastal people." Lin Mojun's face showed an expression of intolerance
. , the people in Fujian are really suffering.
That is to say, when Zhu Wan was the governor, there were no Japanese pirates. In recent years, Japanese pirates invaded the sea every year, and the people along the coast were robbed by Japanese pirates every year.
Hearing that the Japanese pirates had arrived at Dongao Island, Su Ze felt heavy.
The Ming Dynasty's coastal defense was also outrageous. There were no troops stationed on such an important island, so it was easily handed over to the Japanese pirates.
With fresh water and supplies, Lu Dawang could harass the coast at any time, but Fujian's navy did not dare to go to war and was blocked at the port by Japanese pirates.
"I heard that King Lu has issued an order to form a blood alliance on Dong'ao Island in early September and summon Japanese pirates from other factions to land in Fujian." King Lu is
just a branch of the Japanese pirates. He is now blocking the Fujian Navy at home, and other Japanese pirates are Like sharks smelling blood, they flocked to Fujian.
Bad news always comes one after another. On August 24, Shaxian County under the Yanping Prefecture asked Nanping for help. A group of Japanese pirates from the direction of Jianyang had already arrived at the foot of Shaxian County.
This kind of Japanese pirates originally only numbered more than 30 real Japanese, but along the way they attracted bandits from all walks of life to rebel, and first robbed a salt farm.
This salt field was the salt field of Zhu Qi and his friends. Yanding was oppressed by the eunuchs of the salt road, so he simply killed the eunuchs guarding the salt field and followed the Japanese pirates to the county seat.
Su Ze had mixed feelings after hearing the news. In such a chaotic world, human nature has blurred the boundaries, leaving only invincible hatred and fighting.
When Zhu Qi heard the news, he blushed and said to Su Ze: "Xiangong Su, I will go and bring back those who killed a thousand swordsmen!"
Xiong Wu said from the side: "Brother Zhu, you have also surrendered to the Japanese."
Zhu Qi blushed. : "The ones I voted for were not real Japanese! Besides, I didn't do anything harmful to nature. My husband, I have some reputation among the saltmen. I will go and bring them back! Don't follow the Japanese pirates to harm the villagers!" Su Ze naturally did not agree
. Less than two days after Zhu Qi's request, Lin Xianyang returned to Changningwei from the prefect's Yamen, bringing a souvenir from the prefect Fang.
