"On the vast sea, strong winds gather dark clouds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, petrels fly proudly like black lightning..."

Xia Song stared at Cai Boqi strangely and said: "This sentence is good, but it doesn't match the oblique rhyme. Although it is vivid and lifelike, it is still not a masterpiece. It is better that you say less of such sentences, so that others will not think you are a big idiot.

.”

As the ship rocked, Cai Boyi's fat face became increasingly pale: "The official gave this to me before he left. Maybe he hopes that I will be like the Haiyan in the poem..."

"This poem is vivid and lively. It describes Haiyan so vividly that it seems to appear in my mind. It is also full of courage and perseverance and the courage to never back down. It is really a wonderful poem!"

Cai Boyi found that the first lesson he learned from Xia Song was that his skin was thicker than the walls of Tokyo...

In order to show the majesty of the Shang Dynasty, all the ships on this mission to Japan were the Haifal warships of the Fujian navy. The Haifal warships were the largest and most powerful warships in the Song Dynasty. They were ten feet long, one foot and eight feet wide, and the bottom of the ship was

It is one foot thick, has ten oars, is equipped with four or four wheels, has forty-two sailors, and can carry one hundred and eight soldiers.

Most of these soldiers were the elite of the Forbidden Army who were familiar with water. Zhao Zhen was still worried and even equipped the warship with smoothbore muskets that even he himself was reluctant to use!

The artillery is still being developed and cannot be installed on the Falcon warship. However, the huge eight-niu crossbow that can fire gunpowder bombs can also turn incoming enemy ships into powder. Xia Song and Cai Boyi saw a fishing boat being bombed with their own eyes.

His body was shattered into pieces. Cai Boqi was a little bit better because he had seen the power of gunpowder bullets, but Xia Song was stunned by this god-like power.

The sails on the ship were filled to the brim by the monsoon winds, and the warships loaded with soldiers and merchandise galloped like flying arrows off the string, breaking through the waves on the sea.

The sailors shouted the trumpet and pulled the rope to adjust the direction, and worked hard to move forward at the maximum wind angle. Thirty warships, fully loaded with soldiers and cargo, formed a wedge-shaped assault fleet and galloped on the sea level.

Such a magnificent scene, let alone Cai Boqi, even Xia Song, who is used to seeing the big world, said that his blood is boiling. He has an invincible fleet in his hands, galloping overseas foreign countries, Yang Tianchao's majesty, attacking the unsubordinated country!

Thousands of things gathered together, and Xia Song stood on the bow of the boat with his old hair and his young boy's madness, imitating Cai Bo's appearance, and yelled with all his hair and hair: "Anyone who offends our power in China will be punished no matter how far away!"

The officers and soldiers of the flagship shouted together, causing the entire fleet to roar like a tiger.

The envoys on the Japanese dwarf boat trembled when they saw the rainbow-like momentum. Such a huge and invincible fleet, with warriors wearing strong armor and holding sharp blades, could almost wipe out all the maritime power of the Japanese country. Ships like giant beasts

This team is simply not something that Japan can compete with!

This is the atmosphere of a great country, this is the glorious China!

The small boats of the Japanese people tried their best to avoid getting too close to the warships of the Song Dynasty. Their villainous hearts subconsciously believed that the behemoth in front of them would probably crush their small boats into powder.

Sailing on the sea is boring, but real warriors are not afraid of this kind of sailing. When the warships bump on the sea, it is like they are wrestling with the sea. When the sea water is rolled up on the deck, every warrior will

He took off his boots and firmly grasped the deck with his bare feet.

Cai Boyi's gorgeous court clothes have disappeared, and he is still wearing rough linen clothes as he climbs Mast Mountain like a monkey: "Fix the rope and use the full right rudder to avoid the huge waves in front!"

Looking at Cai Boyi jumping up and down, Xia Song tightened his tight clothes and quietly walked into the cabin. Since going to sea, Cai Boy seemed to have changed. He was originally slightly fat and lazy, but he became the most studious.

Apprentices follow the helmsman on the ship and learn this and that. They don't care about the dirty and tiring work, but rush to do it.

Hard work always pays off. During this time, he learned how to read charts, how to use the stars to identify direction, how to adjust the sails, and even knew when to brush the deck with tung oil...

This boy Cai Boyi is different from others. He is the eldest princess and husband of the Song Dynasty. He is the brother-in-law of the official family. He is deeply admired by the official family and is the prince-in-law. However, this also means that he cannot hold any literary or military positions and can only wait and wait.

An official’s invitation to the court!

"Pull it full!"

Cai Boyi's roar came from outside the cabin, and Xia Song sighed slightly, what a good young man, but he was trapped to death by the title of Prince Consort. If he wanted to get ahead, he could only pay a higher price than others, and he couldn't get it.

Even Xia Song himself admired the rewards of his official position.

The slightly fishy and salty sea breeze entered the cabin along with the smell of sweat from Cai Boqi's body. Xia Song frowned and said, "Look at you, you don't look like a prince-in-law now, you look like a killer!"

After saying that, he threw a clean towel into Cai Boyi's arms. Cai Boyi smiled: "What you said is that if I don't have a civil service, I can only be a warrior. What's wrong with killing Han Han? Officials now regard warriors as

His status is as high as that of a scholar!"

Xia Song stood up and took Cai Boyi's towel and wiped his back: "I have never seen you like this. Others are trying to get into the literati, but you are better. You were born as a literati.

You have to put shackles on your son! You are not afraid of others saying you are stupid!"

Cai Boqi said indifferently: "Old man, what you said is wrong. I kindly teach you to be good!"

"Oh? Then I will be all ears!"

Xia Song's sneering expression did not make Cai Boqi angry. Instead, he took out a round gourd with a built-in lamp from the secret compartment of the cabin. When Xia Song saw it, he immediately swallowed dryly and said, "You actually have a gift from an official."

Qingquanbai!"

Cai Boqi smiled and said, "Old man, how about two cups?"

No matter how angry Xia Song was, when he saw Qingquanbai, he licked his old face and said, "Then just fill two cups!"

The sun-dried raw fish on the boat were grilled over charcoal fire and became an excellent dish to go with wine. The crispy dried fish was paired with the clear spring white. The two of them gradually let go of their identities. Xia Song touched the fish oil on his mouth and said:

"Tell me what's wrong with what I said?"

Cai Boyi burped: "There is something wrong with you still holding on to the idea of ​​being noble and powerful. You are different from others. You are involved in political affairs and the deputy prime minister of the imperial court. Think about the official status.

It is advocated that your ability to be reused depends entirely on your talents. It is impossible to go further. Our official family is not the late emperor, nor is it Taizong. To put it bluntly, even Taizu does not have his

What a means and courage!"

Xia Song hurriedly covered Cai Boyi's mouth: "You are so confused, you are the only one who can say this. Be careful, walls have ears!"

Reaching out to pat off Xia Song's hand that smelled like salted fish, Cai Boqi said with a smile: "Don't forget, the soldiers in this boat are all the emperor's four guards. If the walls have ears, they are also the ears of the officials!"

Xia Song had forgotten this point. He took a sip of wine and said, "It's easy to say it's easy to do both civil and military affairs, but it's too difficult to do it. Either we should be like the Tang Dynasty and emphasize military affairs but not literature, or like our Song Dynasty, we should emphasize civility and neglect military affairs. What do you think?"

Can you grasp the scale well? It’s difficult, it’s too difficult!”

Cai Boqi smiled: "Who do you think can master it well? Isn't there someone in the Tang Dynasty?"

Xia Song was suddenly shocked. The only person who could control civil and military officials well was the "Khan of Heaven"! Could it be that the official wanted to be the Khan of Heaven?!

Thinking about Zhao Zhen's actions and external attitude, Xia Song nodded slightly: "It's true that the officials have big ideas, but it is not impossible. Under the leadership of the officials, it is really possible for the Song Dynasty to restore the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty!

No! Restoring the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties is just around the corner!"

The wine was getting stronger and stronger, and the old man and the young man were drinking wine. Even though there was only salted fish, it was still a delicacy. The aroma of the wine was very strong. Cai Boqi looked at Xia Song and smiled, and finally found out the old man's background.
