Chapter 203 Warrior (2)

Zhao Bing and his group followed the ladder back to the first floor and were the oar cabin, which was equivalent to the power cabin of modern ships. Its position was higher than the waterline and lower than the side of the boat. The net height in the cabin was about six feet. Zhao Bing was fine if he jumped high inside, and Ni Liang would not be restricted. Ten oars were placed on both sides of the cabin, and portholes were opened near the top of the cabin. They could be closed when the wind and waves were strong. They were usually used for lighting and ventilation, so they were much more refreshing than the bottom cabin and did not feel stuffy.

There are wooden ladders at the front and rear of the bottom cabin to facilitate people to go up and down. A small war drum is placed in front, which is equivalent to a metronome. The paddler adjusts the rhythm of the paddle by rushing the drum sound. There is a toilet at the rear to solve physiological problems and maintains hygiene in the cabin. Because the overall length of the boat is more than 11 zhang and the maximum width is more than 2 zhang and five feet. It looks quite large, but there is still room for rowing, so the cabin will appear crowded. In this way, sailors need to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep, which requires good design and arrangement.

"Who is the sailor leader?" Zhao Bing entered the cabin, and the crew greeted him in a row. He looked and asked.

"Report to Your Highness, Jiang Chuntian is the chief sailor!" Seeing Your Highness asking, a man standing in the team came out to salute.

"Well, I ask you, how many people are under you?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked when he saw that his badge was blue, which was the logo of the middle and low-level officer.

"Report to Your Highness, the sailor team has a sailor leader, one deputy chief, and there are forty oarsmen under it and six sailing cable men. There are forty-eight people!" Jiang Chunliding reported.

"What should I do if the paddler or sailor is injured and cannot perform his duties?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Report to Your Highness, if someone reports an injury before going to sea, the doctor on the ship will inquire. After confirming, the captain is not allowed to board the ship, and the commander will draw and supplement it from the reserve personnel. If the injury occurs after going to sea, if the number of people is small, it will be allocated in the team. If the team cannot be allocated, it will be reported to the captain from the ship to ensure the normal driving of the ship!" Jiang Chun replied immediately.

"Not bad!" Zhao Bing nodded and smiled, "The cabin is narrow, how can you place your personal belongings and rest!"

"Your Highness, please see!" Jiang Chun stepped back and squatted down and lifted the bottom plate under his feet, "The clothes, bedding and debris that the crew members carry with them are stored here. They are taken out when they are resting and put back when they are not in use. There are also places for storing weapons and tools, which is very convenient."

"The crew members are revolving in resting, driven by sails during cruises, two sailing hands, ten paddlers are on duty, and they are rotated every two hours; if they enter combat preparations, twenty paddlers are on duty and three sailing hands are on duty, and they are still rotated every two hours; in wartime, all the staff are on duty and are not allowed to leave without leaving." Jiang Chun stood up and pulled open the folded shelf on the bulkhead and said, "Non-rotary personnel can lie on the ground in the gap between the shelf and the oar platform!"

"Then where are you resting?" Zhao Bing nodded after seeing it. Such an arrangement can satisfy the sailors' resting place.

"Your Highness, my uncle and the deputy chief are separated from the compartment under the tail ladder!" Jiang Chun took two steps back and opened the compartment door under the wooden ladder and said.

"Yes, the arrangement is very appropriate! What do you think?" Zhao Bing leaned in and took a look. The space in the compartment was not large, that is, it was just a narrow bed and a desk, but this indicated the existence of class and privilege, and class was essential in the army.

"Your Highness, I think it's very good at being a good job, so that things can be settled and people can have some peace. It's much more convenient than other warships. At that time, if you encounter more storms, things will roll around and people will have nothing to control!" Jiang Chun pointed to the ubiquitous handrail and said secretly.

"This is all done by Your Highness, so don't teach them!" Zhou Xiang said with a smile. The sailors on the boat looked at Your Highness in surprise after hearing this, "Don't you believe it yet? Every thing on this boat, every design was designed by Your Highness himself..."

"If you escape in danger, do you know?" Zhao Bing felt happy when he heard this. It seemed that his efforts were not in vain. He waved his hand to stop Zhou Xiang, who was still talking, and pointed to a paddler and asked again.

"Report to Your Highness, you must wear a life jacket when you are out of the cabin. If a ship is in danger, you must wear a life jacket to wait for orders; if you need to abandon the ship, you must evacuate the life boat in the order of low to high positions." The oarsman straightened his body and replied.

"Yeah, that's not bad." The paddler's answers were all stated in the manual. It was memorable that he could memorize them without missing a word. "Have you ever practiced it?"

"Report to Your Highness, the commander strictly ordered that a survival drill must be conducted every ten days. Everyone in the Defeat Army must participate. Those who fail to meet the requirements are prohibited from boarding the boat!" The oarsman replied.

"General Chen is doing a good job!" Zhao Bing looked at Chen Renweng and said. After a period of training, the experience that the Defender Army has gained has been developed for each position and carried out planned training. Of course, this is also his instruction.

While speaking, Yingjieyan and several people were holding a life jacket to study. Zhao Bing did not speak. This thing is almost standard in modern times, but it is still a new thing in this era. In ancient times, there was no foam or rubber. He could only use a lighter cork instead, which was wrapped in orange linen and connected with a belt, with a whistle on it. The lifeboat of the turtle boat was placed in the cabin with a folding assault boat. Once there was a policeman, he pushed it into the sea from the tailgate, but he did not tow the small boat at the stern like other warships for life-saving purposes.

"Your Highness is really biased. All such good things have been given to the Defeng Army, but other naval troops have not!" Liu Zhu said jealously after seeing it.

"Haha, we are all trying this place. We will only give other military personnel after we make it well. It's not that your highness is partial to you!" Chen Renweng smiled and rescued the siege.

"Commander Chen, you are so good at getting a bargain. My boat is not as comfortable as yours. Now I want to change it with you and become the commander of the Defeat Army!" Liu Zhu teased.

"Don't make fun of the generals. Now all the ships have been put into service, but there is not even a ship number. You are also saying that your highness is partial!" Chen Renweng said with a frustration, but everyone could hear the smugness in his voice.

"Your Highness is here, hurry up and ask for it!" Everyone said half instigated and half in a cheering manner when they saw this.

"Hurry up and give your name!" Ying Jieyan also joined in the fun, and the generals next to him also shouted, fearing that they would not be lively.
