The west wind was blowing strongly, and the Chengshan Port pier was busy, with 3,250 coast guards lining up to board the ship. The civilians seized the time and used simple lifting devices to send the last batch of supplies onto the ship.
The main supplies were shipped as early as yesterday, but those fresh vegetables, fruits and meats can last an extra day at sea if they are replenished one day later, right?
Jin Ke, who was stationed in the security area, and Zhu Jue, who was about to return to Xingang, sent the young master, Wang Rulong and others to board the ship in front of the huge 101 ship. A large ship like this, which weighs more than 1,000 materials, can no longer be boarded or boarded. Special wooden gangways must be erected.
But in this way, Mr. Zhao finally doesn¡¯t have to worry about falling from the ship¡¯s deck into the water. As he walked on the wooden gangway, he was still in the mood to turn back and wave to the two of them, feeling as if he was boarding Marine One.
After watching the young master board the ship, Jin Ke quickly turned back. He left 750 coast guards at the base, and the task was also very heavy. There must be vigilance, supervision of work, and preparation for receiving the next batch of supplies. There must be no delay for a moment.

In this punitive operation against Japan, the Tamna garrison was fully mobilized. In addition to the Wanhu black-tailed boats and the twenty Qianliu Dafu boats, there were also ten medium-sized black-tailed boats, fifteen fast boats, and five supply ships. Ships, a total of fifty-one large and small ships.
With so many ships, just leaving the port is very troublesome. If you haven¡¯t practiced in advance, you might run into them when you leave the port.
According to the routine of the exercise, ten medium-sized black-tailed boats will be the first to sail out of the port and set up a warning outside the port to protect large ships that are slow to move offshore and leave the port.
The First Blood where Chu Liuxiang is located is the command ship of the small ship squadron, so it must be the first to sail out of the port In the classification of ships in the guard area, the Qianliu Dafu ship is defined as a medium-sized ship. The medium-sized black-tailed ship falls into the category of small ship. Smaller ships are not even ships and can only be called boats.
Time was running out, so as soon as he got on board, he quickly asked the gun crew members to put down their backpacks and immediately change into their training uniforms.
The police officers took off their hats and helmets, and took off their coats, revealing blue and white striped cotton jerseys underneath. Then he sat on the horse, took off his expensive black leather military boots, untied his leather belt, took off his straight dark blue Songjiang cloth trousers, and threw them on his hammock.
Then they put on dark blue linen trousers and long-sleeved shorts, and put on black cloth boots. Most of the mighty and capable temperament disappeared immediately. It seems that the saying "a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle" is absolutely correct.
Chu Liuxiang and others changed into their training uniforms, took off their rattan helmets from the wall, put them on their heads, and rushed out of the cabin. They took off their gun jackets, loaded their shells, and were ready to fire at suspicious targets at any time!
The reserve police officers in the artillery team quickly packed up the police uniforms and belts of their seniors carefully and hung them one by one in the wardrobe fixed on the bulkhead. Ordinarily, we need to oil the boots, but we just started sailing and we don¡¯t have time, so we can only put them neatly at the bottom of the cabinet first and wait until we have a rest at night.

The wind is blowing from the west today, which is suitable for large ships to leave the port.
A little more than an hour later, all the ships in the fleet left their posts, reorganized into a formation on the south side of Niu Dao, and sailed eastward with full sails.
This is a voyage that you don¡¯t have to worry too much about, because the ocean current will send them directly to Kitakyushu. The whole journey is less than 500 miles, and with a favorable wind, we can reach Hirado Domain in two days.
Seeing that the crew had finished maneuvering the ship and started wiping the deck and maintaining the cannon, Zhao Hao finally couldn't help but inspect the Wanhu Wuwei ship that was used as the flagship.
Wang Rulong quickly called Brother Haier, who was the captain, to the stern of the ship to accompany the young master to visit with him. First of all, Brother Haier knows the situation of the ship best, and secondly, if anything goes wrong, he can blame him. witty!
"Your name is Brother Haier?" Zhao Hao stood on the top stern and smiled at the captain who ran up: "Your hair isn't yellow either?"
"Yes!" Brother Haier stepped forward first, responded first, and then was stunned. "ah?"
It¡¯s obvious that he doesn¡¯t understand Mr. Zhao¡¯s joke.
"Who gave you this name?" Mr. Zhao asked with a smile.
"It's the captain. He loves naming people the most." Brother Haier glanced at Wang Rulong and said, "I was originally called Haigou'er, and my brother was called Haidan'er. The captain thought it was too ugly, so he changed it to Erge and Erdi. .¡±
"What, you're not satisfied?" Wang Rulong glared like a warning: "You are you, yours, brother Er is 'your brother', second brother is 'your brother', he is clear and knowledgeable, you spend money Please sir, you can¡¯t get up so well!¡±
"Satisfied, satisfied." Brother Haier quickly apologized. How dare he offend his immediate boss?
"Hahaha, Captain Wang is really a master of naming." Zhao Hao laughed and pointed at Wang Rulong, while followingConvinced, of course, is a piece of cake.
In addition, dozens of tailor shops, dozens of leather shops, dozens of shoe shops, and jewelry stores in Suzhou also took action together after receiving orders. In two months, six thousand people were fully dressed and sent to Tamna Island by Chen Huaixiu's fleet.
It includes one autumn coat, one winter coat, a hat, a cowhide belt, a pair of long cowhide boots, and two pairs of navy cotton boots for each person.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The boots are hand-sewn with all cowhide and tendon, and the three-layer soles are also cowhide. Only the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, the Han generals, and Dongchang fans can afford to wear them.
