    101 ship.

    "What do I want your head for? What I want is an oriental beauty." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Promise me you will bring it to me!"

    Qiao Qiao came to serve the soup just in time. Hearing this, his hands softened and he almost dropped the soup basin on the ground.

    She felt so sad that she quickly put the soup basin on the table and hurriedly left the restaurant.  Then I sat in front of the brick stove in the small kitchen, feeling sad.

    "What's wrong?" Secretary Ma, who was helping her take care of the stove, gave Qiaoqiao a strange look.  The dim light of the fire made her face blush, with a hint of crystal water.

    "No, it's nothing." Qiaoqiao forced a smile, then broke through and whispered: "Young master is going to rob a common girl."

    "Huh?" Secretary Ma's mouth opened slightly in surprise.  My heart says that the young master has grown up and is really promising.  "how could be?"

    "Yes, this person is serious. If you want a beauty, why do you need to rob her?" Qiaoqiao blurted out with resentment: "He wants to take the food in the pot before eating it"

    "Bah, what nonsense am I talking about!" After saying this, she turned red with embarrassment and covered her face without daring to raise her head.

    "Is the beauty you are talking about calledOriental Beauty?" Secretary Ma is Secretary Ma after all, and he understands every issue of Zhao Hao.

    "Yes, you knew earlier!" Qiaoqiao raised her head in surprise, complaining a little that Sister Ma was hiding it from her: "Didn't you say that we have to tighten the fence to stop dogs from getting in?"

    "Giggle. Wait, let me laugh for a while first" Secretary Ma waved her hands, burst into tears and said, "We can't compare with this oriental beauty, not even Miss Jiang or the little county master."

    "Really? Such a big background? Could it be that she is a Japanese princess?" Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, thinking that the county owner would be fine, but Miss Jiang would be in danger.

    "You'll know when the time comes" Secretary Ma laughed until his stomach ached, and he even pretended that he wouldn't say anything about it.

    The wind has been blowing all day, the night sky is cloudless, and the moon and stars are sparse.

    It was pitch dark in Futian Bay, and the warships on both sides unanimously turned off their lights to prevent them from becoming each other's targets in the dark.

    At two o'clock in the morning, the wind direction changed.  The flag that was originally waving towards the harbor suddenly spread out towards the harbor.

    "God bless!" Colonel Pinto, who was about to despair, suddenly became energetic.  He decided that he would not save money after returning to Macau and would hire a serious monk from the church to be the ship's chaplain instead of the ship's doctor who was drunk all day long.  The bastard's domineering uniform smells of alcohol, it's strange that it works so well!

    The European crew members on the Governor of Goa had already received orders. As soon as they saw the wind direction change, they immediately woke up the South Asian sailors who were sleeping like dead pigs with kicks and went to the deck to set up the sails.

    There are more than a dozen large and small sails on the four masts. Some are square sails that provide power, and some are triangular sails that help with lateral movement.  It would be unimaginable to rely solely on manpower for lifting and lowering.  Fortunately, this is a fully rigged sailboat, with a large number of movable riggings installed, which allows sailors to save time and effort, and can freely maneuver the sails with only a few hands.

    Under the bright moonlight, more than a hundred well-trained South Asian sailors worked in groups to pull the ropes, use pulleys and pulleys to control the raising and lowering of the sail, keep the sail tight through the sheaf ropes and angle ropes; use the guy ropes to move the horizontal sails.  mast to capture maximum wind power.

    After a while, many sails were deployed and were blown by the northeast wind.

    In the belly of the ship, a dozen sailors worked together to turn the main deck winch and collect the long anchor cable.  Contrary to what most people imagine, a sailboat anchored at sea does not mainly rely on anchors, but long anchor ropes The seabed is mostly mud, and even a heavy-weight anchor can provide much gripping power to hold thousands of tons of anchors.  Large sailing ship?

    Therefore, anchoring does not rely on the anchor to hold the ship, but to allow the anchor cable to spread better on the seabed.  Then the anchor rope of two to three hundred meters was twisted into the mud on the seabed to pull the ship.  At the core of the Karak galleon, there is a dedicated cabin for stacking anchor cable trays. The anchor cables, which are thicker than an arm, can reach thousands of meters when fully extended.

    ??~~

    As soon as the anchor left the mud on the seabed, the huge 1,500-ton wooden ship was finally free from restraints and slowly sailed westward, driven by countless sails.

    The Oriental Beauty on the side also followed. In fact, the Galen ship was small and flexible, and it was only waiting to set off together to protect the flagship.

    "Quick, quick, quick!" Colonel Pinto stood on the poop, anxiously urging the sailors to adjust the stay ropes and move the mast to obtain the maximum wind power.

    He is anxious, extremely anxious!  Because at this time, the bows of both the Governor of Goa and the Beauty of the East were facing the enemy ships.

    How many guns are there in the bow of the ship?  Governor of GoaWithin a few seconds, two thousand projectiles were firedone-fifth of which hit the hull, mast and sail of the enemy ship.  There are hundreds of large and small holes in the hull of Karak's large sailing ship.

    But it was just a hole and did not cause serious damage to the hull.

    But the speed of the two large sailing ships dropped significantly.  Because more than a hundred shells hit the power systems of the two ships-masts and sails, and even broke the foremast of the Governor of Goa.  When the mast fell, it killed a dozen sailors who were caught off guard

    Although the remaining masts were not broken, most of the sails on top were holed - this is the problem with Western soft sails. Once there are holes, they will leak and be useless.  It¡¯s not as durable as a Chinese hard sail. It¡¯s riddled with holes and can still hold the wind¡­
