Chapter 812 Going to sea!

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhejiang, Taizhou Prefecture.

    Today, the Taizhou Prefecture Harbor is almost crowded with people.

    Looking at the more than 120 brand-new ships of various sizes docked in the harbor, the onlookers were filled with envy and jealousy.

    "Before, the Wang family was still feeling sour and felt that there was still hope. Look, could this be something that the Wang family can do?"

    "Tch! What is this? My second brother's third son's daughter-in-law works in the Chen family. She heard the Chen family's servants say that the Chen family has ordered a huge ship at the Caoyun Yamen Shipyard!  It is said to be ten times bigger than this!¡±

    "Bah! That's nonsense. Is there such a ship?"

    "Haha, Shitou, are you ignorant now? Miao Qingtian's shipyard really has such a giant ship, and it is said that it was the work of Grandpa De Wang The maritime merchants here have gone to see it, but because it is too  It¡¯s too expensive, I can¡¯t afford it!¡±

    "Really? Then I have to see! What is bigger than the current falcon?"

    "Hey, don't think too much. Miss Chen is now the concubine of King De. What does she want? As long as there are ships in this world, she can buy as many as she wants!"

    "That's right, the Chen family has really turned around now! Look at its current scale, it's really scary! I'm afraid it's just around the corner to become number one in the world!"

    ""

    ??The common people just watch the fun and talk in layman's terms.

    But when the maritime merchants saw the current situation, their faces became very solemn.

    Especially the Wang family, the number one maritime merchant in Taizhou.

    The Wang family¡¯s children who were clamoring before are now all livid, jealous and a little cowardly.

    Originally, they thought that the Chen family would never be able to do anything about it.

    I didn¡¯t expect that the Chen family would simply and rudely throw money at it!

    This is so much money that no one has ever seen!  !

    It stands to reason that the Wang family has seen the world, and their family wealth is at least two to three million taels of silver. Their annual turnover is more than one million taels of silver, and their expenses are as high as hundreds of thousands.

    But they have really never seen such a large amount of money being thrown away - as if the money is not money!

    The prices of things purchased by the Chen family have been spread widely.

    ? Originally, when purchasing a large ship, such as a large stern or a large falcon, these must be ordered at least a year in advance, and then the materials can be prepared and various complex processes can be carried out.

    So under normal circumstances, it would take at least a year for the Chen family to buy a large ship.

    ¡°But the Chen family directly doubled the price and snatched away other people¡¯s orders, asking these shipyards to deliver to them as quickly as possible.

    It stands to reason that the shipyard will have to pay compensation because of the delay in delivery to others, but even this money was paid by the Chen family, and it is said that it was even more.

    So everyone who has settled everything is happy.

    Therefore, Chen Jiaguang's expenditure on purchasing ships reached an astonishing one million taels - in addition to large sterns and large sea falcons, there were also various supply ships, fire ships, light boats, etc.

    In this era, naval battles are not just as simple as gang-hopping, collisions, etc., but there is also a more powerful move - burning Chibi!

    Speaking of burning Red Cliff, everyone knows that it means setting off small fire boats to burn other people's big ships.

    Big ships are inconvenient to move, and small boats are convenient. A burning small boat collides with a big ship. It doesn't matter if there are two ships, but if there are more, the big ship will be burned directly.

    Don¡¯t think this is child¡¯s play.

    Zheng Chenggong¡¯s father used this trick back then, killing the Portuguese and Dutch to the point of utter ruin, and obediently gave up the territory around the sea area of ????the treasure island. If he wanted to do business in the Ming Dynasty, he had to pay taxes to him.

    So if you look at whether a sea trade caravan is strong or not, in addition to the number of ships they have, you also need to see whether they burn the ships.

    The Chen family prepared sixty or seventy fire boats at one go. They would tow them behind the big ships on weekdays, and release them once they encountered an enemy. That was very powerful.

    From this point of view, I am afraid that the Chen family's trip to sea this time is not just for business, but also to settle accounts with the pirates who caused their family to die.

    There are only one pirate in the waters around Dakang, and at most there are only three or five pirates with such a large scale.

    But these pirates are definitely not as powerful as the Chen family.

    Needless to say, the two thousand young men sent by Prince De's Mansion are at best strong and have not experienced any fighting.

    &nbs?I never gave up.

    So he had already expected this step.

    "Xiaowei, should we go to Yizhou Island first?" He asked after retracting his thoughts.

    "Yes, the seaport staff there is the most complicated, maybe we can get some information." Chen Xiaowei said, "But first, let's go to Dongji Island and Dachen Island for a tour."

    "Um?"

    Chen Yuhua was slightly startled, "What's there to see there?"

    "I heard that there are many pirates hiding in the small island over there." Chen Xiaowei said lightly, "Then let's start training."

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Chen Yuhua frowned, "But what if they escape? Or are they not there at all? Do we have to go island by island to find them?"

    "right!"

    Chen Xiaowei said seriously: "Searching is also a kind of training. Those soldiers are definitely no longer needed, but those young people need more real training. Your Highness will hand them over to us, and I will not only  Just teach them the knowledge and make them mature maritime elites."

    "If you do this, we will have enmity with the pirates from the beginning"

    "Dad!"

    Chen Xiaowei interrupted him, "As the sword in His Highness's hand, shouldn't we target pirates and use pirates to practice swordsmanship? Then what should we do if we encounter more ferocious foreign red-haired ghosts? There is no blood  Training with fire cannot produce talents!"

    Chen Yuhua was speechless.

    This daughter

    It seems to have changed
