Chapter 5:
Of course Po Lang Baihu didn’t really want to slay the dragon, she just thought of a way to escape when her life was hanging on the line!
The huge suction force caused by the waterspout is pulling the lucky ship towards the wind column. Once it is caught in it, it will definitely die.
The whirlpool formed by the waterspout on the sea reminded this man of the sling he played with as a child.
Today's lucky boats are the stones on the riprap, and the attraction of the waterspout is the rope connecting the stones.
Baihu said to the helmsman beside him: "Put down the sail!"
The helmsman looked at Baihu in horror. Putting down the sail at this time does not mean giving up resistance?
But seeing the young faces of Baihu, they all said that the son resembles the mother and the daughter resembles the father, the helmsman seemed to see the appearance of the old Baihu.
The old helmsman sighed, cursed at the top of his voice, and ordered the co-helmsmen to shout:
"You bitches! Get up! Put down the sails."
The old helmsman is the most senior seaman on the ship. After he started scolding, the crew finally started to move.
Baihu stared intently at the moving waterspout. She personally took control of the rudder and slightly adjusted the sailing direction.
Along the whirlpool of the waves, this lucky boat with 200 materials was like a small boat, spinning around the waterspout.
Human beings appear so insignificant under the power of nature.
The waterspout was getting closer and closer, and the crew could see the broken wood caught in it. It must be some unlucky ship that was caught in it.
Thinking that this was their future destiny, some weak-willed crew members began to cry. The helmsman looked at Baihu who was at the helm. Under such a violent storm, the heat from her body collided with the sea water and rain.
The old man standing in the storm and steering the ship, as if he were the magic needle that fixes the sea, is back again!
The old helmsman was in a daze for a while. Steering the helm was a physical job, let alone maintaining the direction in such wind and waves. Sure enough, Baihu was born with supernatural power!
Just as Fuchuan made a full circle around the whirlpool, Baihu, who had been observing the direction, suddenly shouted:
"The evil dragon is beheaded!"
She let go of the rudder, picked up the red tassel gun inserted on the deck, and fired hard towards Throw the waterspout away!
"Raise the sails!"
Everyone looked at a flash of red streaking across the night sky. The first officers who were originally frightened by the waterspout seemed to be awakened by Baihu's shot, and they all raised the sails according to her instructions!
The sails were driven by the wind, and the entire lucky ship was thrown out by the waterspout like a sling!
The 200-material fortune ship broke through the layers of wind and waves, just like flying on the sea, and quickly sailed away from the sea area affected by the waterspout.
The huge acceleration caused by centrifugal force makes people feel a strong sense of weightlessness.
The old helmsman felt that he was about to faint, and the lucky boat finally slowed down.
The wind and waves gradually subsided, and although there was still light rain falling from the sky, everyone on the boat knew that they were safe.
The old helmsman looked at his family with admiration, and saw no trace of pride on her beautiful face, only the fear of surviving the disaster.
The old helmsman felt a sore nose. If the accident hadn't happened to the old man, Mo Jun wouldn't have had to risk his life at sea.
But for the sake of Changning Guard, Mo Jun disguised herself as a man and put on military uniform.
The old helmsman walked to the rudder and whispered: "Baihu, give the order. Everyone is waiting for you to take us home."
Baihu raised his head, looked at the admiring and expectant eyes of the ship, and gave the order. Said: "Full sail! Let's go home!"
In Changningwei's family temple, the rain was no longer as heavy as before, and sparse raindrops fell from the eaves.
Su Ze was still tied to the pillar, but Aunt Ninth loosened some of the restraints, allowing him to sit on the ground leaning against the pillar.
The heavy rain stopped the villagers from shouting and killing Su Ze, but his crisis was not over yet.
The little carrot head sat restlessly next to Su Ze and kept asking: "When can my brother return?"
Su Ze couldn't stand his noisy questions like a repeater, so he could only talk to him. "Is your brother one of the 100 households in the Wei?"
Little Luobotou said with his hands on his hips, "Yes! My brother is amazing! He can carry buckets and is the most powerful person in our Changning Wei!" "
He can carry cauldrons, right? "?"
"Ding? What is a tripod?"
Su Ze said helplessly: "Kang Tong, Kang Tong, has your brother gone to sea to patrol against Japanese pirates?" The
thirty-three-year period of Jiajing was the most serious period of the Japanese pirate rebellion. The entire southeastern coastal area is unrest.
Su Ze is a graduate student majoring in Ming history. He remembers the records in the history books:
"On the 27th of the first month of the 33rd year of Jiajing, the Japanese pirates broke out from Taicang and Nansha, raided Suzhou and Songjiang prefectures and counties, and occupied Nansha for five months. The army was heavily besieged but could not break through. On the 9th of February, the Japanese invaded Songjiang Prefecture again. The Ming army attacked it but could not defeat it. The county magistrate Liu Dongyang died in the battle." Although it is only a paragraph of record, the Japanese pirates were raging
in the most prosperous Jiangnan area of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirates destroyed many people's homes, and how many people died in this catastrophe.
Only when Su Ze lived in this era did he feel the heavy weight of this record in the history books.
Jiangnan was the wealth center of the Ming Dynasty. This Japanese rebellion had shaken the rule of the Ming Dynasty. The decaying machine of the Ming Dynasty finally started to mobilize the power of the whole country to quell the Japanese rebellion.
Southern Fujian is also a place where Japanese pirates are raging. Su Ze asked Little Luobotou about the situation in order to understand his own situation.
Unexpectedly, this little carrot head suddenly jumped up and said,
"You Japanese pirate! Do you want to find out the news about the guard station from me?"
When he shouted like this, other people in the family temple also looked at Su Ze , Su Ze said quickly:
"I'm just chatting! Forget it if you don't say anything!"
The little carrot head snorted coldly and said:
"Looking at you, you look like a nest of snakes and rats, I know you are not a good person! My brother paid a thousand Hu Zhi was ordered to go after 'Ma Beard', but luckily I kept my mouth tight and didn't say anything!"
After saying this, the little carrot head immediately covered his mouth.
The seventh aunt sighed at the side and said: "You have a sly look, right? If you kid takes over the position of a hundred households in the future, what will our Chang Ning Guard do?" Su Ze suppressed a smile, and
just When Little Carrot Head glared at him, suddenly a hungry and thin man rushed into the family temple and said, "
Hundred Households! Hundred Households are back!"
Little Carrot Head put his hands on his hips and said, "Isn't this Hundred Household here? ?Wait, you are talking about me, my brother is back??"
The little carrot head rushed out of the house immediately, and the ninth aunt shouted on crutches: "Doo hat! Wear a doo hat! Don't catch a cold in the rain!"
Guard Su Ze Several of the men were also ready to go to the beach to welcome the return of hundreds of households.
Aunt Ninth saw through their thoughts, waved her hand and said, "You can go too."
Several men looked at Su Ze, and Aunt Ninth held her crutches and said, "This guy's hands are tied."
Everyone saluted to Aunt Ninth, and then rushed towards the seaside.
Su Ze has determined that this returning family is the seventh generation ancestor recorded in Qi Shugong's genealogy.
Are these hundred households really born as girls?
But it is reasonable to think about it. Most of the officer positions in the Ming Dynasty Guard are hereditary. The little Luobotou should be the younger brother of the current Baihu. However, the Ming military system has age requirements for inheriting military positions. If Little Luobotou is the only If his son cannot inherit the military position, the military position will fall to his cousins from the side branch or even distant ancestry.
The Changning Guard is in a remote location, so I'm afraid the guard will let my sister take over the military position first, and then pass it on to him when the little Luobotou becomes an adult.
Su Ze sighed, it can be seen that the southeastern coastal defense is riddled with holes. If the law had been sound in the early Ming Dynasty, it would have been impossible for a woman to inherit the military position on behalf of her brother.
Su Ze also became very interested in this seventh generation ancestor who could "fight dragons". What was this Ming Dynasty Hua Mulan like?
