    Yo ho ho!

    Song Hu, who was standing on the bow of the boat, kept waving his arms and shouted loudly to the shore.

    Song Hu was actually very excited at this time. It was his first time to operate such an ancient sailboat and sail on the sea.

    For Song Hu, this was a very strange experience.

    Dozens of genetic people, under the command of Chelsea, kept pulling the cables and slowly turning the sails to use the wind to turn the ship's direction.

    With Chelsea as a guy, Song Hu can be said to be very relaxed.

    Because all the operational knowledge and skills have been given to Chelsea to teach everyone, all Song Hu has to do is quietly watch everyone busy at the side.

    Of course, as Song Hu, he also has to learn this knowledge.

    "Your Excellency, Captain, according to the measurement, the bay here is a deep water area. We can move closer to the beach."

    Chelsea came over at this time and stood behind Song Hu with a respectful look on his face to report to him on the water conditions here.

    During this half month, Chelsea and Song Hu were together and taught the genetic people navigation skills and style operation knowledge.

    During this common life at sea, Chelsea has slowly integrated into this group.

    Although they look different, Chelsea can feel their sincerity.

    Yes, it is sincerity.

    Originally, he was just a prisoner, and he no longer had any hope for the future.  As long as they can survive, it is already a very good result for Chelsea.

    But now he not only survived, but also had a good career and was promised a high salary.

    At the same time, after contact with these seemingly barbaric indigenous people, he discovered that their knowledge was actually higher than that of Europeans. Moreover, when they were not enemies, they were all polite and behaved like knights and nobles.  , which makes Chelsea feel a bit unreal.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Chelsea is completely heartbroken.

    When he was on the boat, he ate the same as everyone else, and he did not receive special 'care'.  As long as the genetic man has it, Chelsea will get it.

    This is completely different from when I followed Leslie.

    Chelsea was taken on board by Leslie since he was a child, and his sailing life began from then on.  Leslie brought him on board just to have a free labor force and an extra manpower to use.

    Since then, Leslie has become a handyman on the Mayflower. He has to do everything and must be able to do it.  You need to know how to raise sails, lower sails, and various ropes, and even learn hydrometry and surveying.

    The reason for this is very simple. Sometimes he has to ask someone to come on duty so that the person on duty can be lazy.

    It is precisely for this reason that Chelsea has become the person who knows the most about wearing clothes.

    Although his job is just a handyman, he does know the most and the most comprehensively.

    In the end, Captain Leslie gave him a salary increase just because he knew so much.  The desperate 15 shillings gave Chelsea the rewards they had received over the years.

    And it was precisely because he knew so much that he survived the massacre by Wang Shan, while his other companions died.

    It seems that the principle that knowledge changes destiny is correct no matter in any era.

    "It's a pity that Chelsea doesn't know this yet. He just thinks that he is lucky.

    Song Hu¡¯s approach of treating everyone equally satisfied Chelsea, and he even felt that there was nothing wrong with following these natives.

    In this era, as long as they are paid, the British can even fight for the French.  It doesn't matter even if the opponent they have to deal with is the Queen's army, so it's not surprising that Chelsea has such an idea.

    "Chelsea, you have performed well during this period. I will propose to our Majesty to officially give you an appointment. By then you will be an official official of our Song Dynasty. If you continue to perform better, I think His Majesty will even  I can also choose a wife for you among those British women."

    Song Hu said to Chelsea with a smile.

    "Thank you for your appreciation. I will dedicate my loyalty and life to you." Chelsea saluted with one hand on her chest.

    Song Hu took advantage of Chelsea's lowered gaze and secretly curled his lips.

    well saidListen, and give your loyalty and life!

    This is just a good idea to deceive an inexperienced guy, but he, Song Hu, would not believe it.

    Song Hu took off a small bag sewn with marmot skin from his waist and handed it to Chelsea.

    "In view of your good performance, I decided to give you one month's salary in advance. I hope you will continue your efforts and teach more sailors for us. I don't think it will be long before we have a lot of sea ships."

    Song Hu knew Zhao Hongyu very well. He knew that after the appearance of the Mayflower, his leader would definitely start investing in the construction of sea-going ships.

    Because the appearance of the Mayflower definitely made the leader feel a crisis.

    After taking the bag handed over by Song Hu, Chelsea secretly weighed it and knew in her mind that if there was gold in this bag, it would definitely be more than three ounces.

    ¡°Thank you for your generosity!¡±

    Chelsea¡¯s head lowered even further.

    ¡°Hmph, these European guys, as long as they have money, they can even sell their parents, don¡¯t say they just want you to teach them knowledge.

    Song Hu thought to himself with great contempt.

    ¡°Despise is contempt, but Song Hu understands that people like Chelsea are really what they need.

    Therefore, Song Hu must win over Song Hu.

    Who told him to understand all the operations of sea ships in this era, and who told Song Hu and others not to understand.

    Therefore, strictly speaking, Chelsea can be regarded as a talent.

    And talents, no matter what era they are in, are more valued.

    "Your Excellency, sea ships can no longer sail. Although this area is deep water, it is still easy to get stranded close to the shore." Seeing the Mayflower slowly approaching the beach, Chelsea had to remind her in a low voice.  Otherwise the ship will be stranded.

    Song Hu nodded, "Go and give the order and put down the anchor. We are landing now. His Majesty must be waiting very impatiently."

    "Drop the anchor! Put down the landing ship! Pay attention everywhere, untie the rope and put down the sail!"

    Chelsea nodded, he turned around and issued a series of orders in a loud voice, performing his duties well.

    Song Hu was quite satisfied with this action.

    In just half a month, they learned to operate a responsible sailboat, which was simply a miracle from Song Hu's point of view.

    Of course, they are not very skilled yet. At least compared to sailors from other countries in this era, Song Hu and the others are just like children in kindergarten.

    However, as long as they continue to train slowly, they will definitely become elite sailors.

    Song Hu has no doubt about this.

    If there is anything that Song Hu is not satisfied with this time, it is that two of the genetic men were rotated by the boat because someone did not grab the cable, and at the same time they hit their companions, causing serious injuries.

    On ocean-going ships in 1620, such things happened from time to time, and it was not surprising.

    Chelsea explained this issue to Song Hu and told him not to take it to heart.

    But how could Song Hu think so easily?

    In his opinion, people like him are much more educated and knowledgeable than the European bumpkins, so making such a mistake is a great failure.

    Doesn¡¯t this mean they are the same as European bumpkins?

    This is what makes Song Hu the most annoyed, but he can't say it clearly yet.

    It is precisely because of this incident that Song Hu can only feel that this action is relatively satisfactory, rather than very satisfactory.

    While thinking wildly, two landing boats were placed on the sea, and ladders made of cables were lowered along the side of the hull.  "Sir, we can log in."

    Chelsea is like Song Hu¡¯s little follower.

    Chelsea is not stupid. He can see that Song Hu has some weight in front of His Majesty. He can be said to be a confidant.

    Therefore, Chelsea made up her mind to embrace this thick thigh.

    There were a total of sixteen people boarding the ship for the first time. It was impossible for dozens of them to board Manhattan Island at once.

    And half of the people must stay on the Mayflower to guard the ship.

    About twenty minutes later, two small landing boats arrived at the beach. Song Hu, Chelsea and a group of their men stepped onto the silver-white beach and walked towards Zhao Hongyu and the others who had been waiting here.

    "Your Majesty, we have fulfilled our mission and brought the Mayflower back."

    Because Chelsea was there, Song Hu called Zhao Hongyu "Your Majesty"Down.

    "Zhao Hongyu didn't think anything of this title. Anyway, His Majesty is Your Majesty. In the future, when he has more people under his command, he will be called this way."

    "It's a good ship, it will be ours from now on!" Zhao Hongyu looked at the Mayflower not far away, which was lowering its sails on the sea with gleaming eyes.  "Can you operate this ship for a long voyage?"

    After retracting his gaze, Zhao Hongyu turned his head and asked.

    After waving his hands and letting the men behind him disperse, Song Hu shook his head and replied: "Not yet, we have only roughly learned how to operate the cables and sails of sea ships, but there are also navigation skills such as measuring water volume and so on.  I still don¡¯t understand it, so I¡¯m not very capable of ocean navigation.¡±

    Zhao Hongyu also knew that his question was a bit abrupt. How could he ask genetic people to learn ocean navigation in just half a month?

    This is very unrealistic.

    The weather has turned warm in mid-May, and the sea breeze blowing on your face no longer makes you feel bitingly cold, but makes you very comfortable.

    The waves kept hitting the silver-white beach. When the water receded, little crabs emerged from under the beach and crawled sideways into the distance.

    "Continue training, just on this sea surface. When you can operate it skillfully, I plan to go to the Caribbean coast with you."
