    "The customs and customs of the two sides are different. I understand your thoughts, but you can't show it to the girl easily. If there is any misunderstanding, it will be difficult to handle." Mrs. Wang persuaded her in a persuasive way.  "Now our lives are saved by others. One mistake caused a misunderstanding and affected the brothers"

    What Mrs. Wang said is very clear, so why doesn¡¯t Liu Dashen understand it?

    "Master, stop talking, I understand."

    Liu Dashen nodded helplessly.

    To be honest, he really likes Chen Jiaying.

    ?? Despite Liu Dashen¡¯s maturity, he is actually only in his early twenties.

    It may be because people in this era of the Ming Dynasty were precocious, and because Liu Dascara often made a living at sea, Liu Dascara's skin was extremely dark, making him look like a man in his thirties.  .

    In addition, he is tall and thick, and there is a long scar on his face.

    So, he doesn¡¯t look like a young man in his early twenties.

    As the saying goes, a graceful lady and a gentleman love each other. Chen Jiaying has been giving Liu Dashen infusions during these days.

    So, we have more interactions.

    In addition, Liu Dascara has never had such close contact with a girl. At the same time, Chen Jiaying is different from the girls of the Ming Dynasty. She is very talkative, outgoing and lively, so it is not surprising that Liu Dascara is attracted to her.

    "If it were those girls from the Ming Dynasty, they would never chat with Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang for such a long time every day.

    ¡° Moreover, Chen Jiaying¡¯s knowledge is not comparable to those girls from the Ming Dynasty.

    After all, they are genetic people cultivated in the virtual world, and they also receive modern education.

    How could those girls from the Ming Dynasty compare.

    Although the Ming Dynasty was more open, girls still couldn't compare with modern girls.

    Even a peasant girl from a small family cannot be as open-minded as the girls of later generations. This is the seventeenth century after all.

    ¡° What attracts Chen Jiaying to Liu Dashen is the heroic spirit in her body.

    Yes.  This is something that Ming girls in this era do not possess.

    Liu Dashen, who has been living at sea all year round, actually hates those weak women the most.

    On the contrary, I like girls like Chen Jiaying who have heroic spirit the most.

    But the problem is that as a pirate, they rarely get ashore.

    Basically, you are either living in a pirate base or at sea.

    Therefore, there are very few opportunities to contact girls, so it is impossible for Liu Dashen to contact too many girls.

    Although there are some girls in the pirate base, they are all big and thick.  That's not Liu Da Scar's cup of tea at all.

    But Chen Jiaying is different.

    She is very beautiful and has good skin. Coupled with her heroic spirit, she looks even more attractive to Liu Dashen.

    Strictly speaking, it¡¯s not like Liu Da Scar has never seen a woman before.

    The high-ranking maritime merchants in the southeastern waters of the Ming Dynasty sometimes brought many of their female relatives with them when they went to sea for trade.

    When Liu Dashen was patrolling the sea, he would also have some contact.

    ????????????????????????????????? However, those with small feet tied cannot stand firmly.  And he really has no interest in shy women.

    As soon as he opened his mouth, the women were frightened and trembling, and it was not interesting at all.

    But Chen Jiaying is different. She is really different from those girls.

    and.  She was still so gentle (during the injection).

    But what Master Wang said is also very reasonable. After all, the Zhao Song Empire and the Ming Dynasty were different, so they needed to pay attention to some customs and taboos.

    ???????????????????????????????? If any misunderstanding arises, it is easy for me to save my life.  But what can those brothers do?

    Thinking of this, Liu Dashen nodded.

    "Master is right, I have made a note of it in my mind."

    I saw Liu Dashen¡¯s expression of bitterness.  Mrs. Wang raised her hand and patted him gently on the shoulder.

    "Time is destiny, you can't force it."

    Liu Dashen supported his body with both hands and said: "I have recovered well recently, and I don't want to lie in bed all the time. Master, can you accompany me for a walk? If I lie down like this,  It is estimated that the bones in the body are about to fall apart."

    Since Liu Dashen boarded the Sea King, he has been?Lying straight on the boat.

    " Major and minor deficiencies can be solved by Mrs. Wang in the bathroom next door to the cabin, so there is no need to go far.

    Therefore, he has never left this cabin.

    Now he feels a little depressed, so he plans to go out for some fresh air.

    Mrs. Wang understands Liu Dashen¡¯s feelings very well, and also knows that he feels uncomfortable now.

    After all, it is not easy to fall in love with a girl, but it is unlikely that the relationship will continue. People who have not experienced this will not understand the feeling.

    Mrs. Wang is not a fool, he has been younger for a long time, right?

    Therefore, he understands Liu Dashen¡¯s thoughts very well.

    Although he persuaded Liu Da Scar, and Liu Da Scar also understood what he meant.

    But in his heart now, he is actually very depressed.

    Therefore, it¡¯s not a bad idea to take a breather.

    Anyway, these people from Zhao Song did not restrict their activities on the ship.

    In this way, with the support of Mrs. Wang, Liu Dascara and Mrs. Wang came to the upper deck.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    As soon as he walked up, Liu Dashen sighed in admiration.

    "The open space on the deck is so big, it seems like a piece of land. The ship sails very smoothly. I really didn't expect that Zhao Song had such a sea ship."

    As a pirate, he certainly understands the benefits and advantages of this kind of ship.

    "When I came up, I felt the same as you. And I found that the wood used in this ship is stronger and more durable than the wood used in our Daming ships."

    Mrs. Wang helped Liu Dascar to the guardrail beside the boat, raised her hand and touched the guardrail.

    Liu Dashen also raised his hand and touched it, then nodded.

    "This must be the beautiful wood from the Americas. It is indeed much better than the materials used for shipbuilding in the Ming Dynasty."

    Liu Dashen agreed very much with Mrs. Wang¡¯s words.

    "You are looking at the sails and the speed of the ship."

    Mrs. Wang raised her finger and pointed at the sail, and then pointed at the sea outside.

    ??According to what Master Wang said, Liu Dashang raised his head and looked above, and at the sea outside that was divided by the sailing ships.

    The ships of the Song Empire.  Like European sea-going ships, they all use three or four sails on a pole to borrow wind power to drive the sea-going ship.

    The ships of the Ming Empire still followed the ancient Eastern method, with only one big sail on a pole.

    Because the Ming Dynasty would not go to the distant sea, this kind of single sail is enough in the offshore sea.

    Even in the Qing Dynasty, this model was still in use.

    As a qualified pirate, Liu Dashen can certainly clearly feel the speed of ships on the sea.

    Liu Dascara was born in a pirate den since he was a child, and his father was also a pirate.

    Therefore, Liu Dashen was on the boat when he was very young.

    so.  He is very sensitive to these things.

    "The speed is very fast, faster than Li Gong's armored ship."

    The Li Gong mentioned by Liu Dashen was Li Xiang, the former maritime overlord who was having friction with Zheng Zhilong.

    Li Xiang¡¯s elite fleet basically robbed Dutch and Spanish warships.

    And these warships have been modified in Japan, and the hulls are inlaid with iron sheets, which are called ironclad ships.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These warships will not be used easily, but they are the elite of Li Xiang's command.

    Of course Liu Dashen knew it.  That's why he used Li Xiang's armored ship for comparison.

    You must know that even the navy of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to touch the armored fleet under Li Xiang's command.

    This is also Li Xiang¡¯s reliance on the sea.

    It was precisely because of the elite armored fleet that Li Xiang was able to compete with Zheng Zhilong.  It also firmly controls the shipping lanes and trade rights between Japan and North Korea.

    Of course, Zheng Zhilong has the support of the Spaniards and the Dutch, and it is not something that Li Xiang can touch.

    Zheng Zhilong is obviously stronger on both sides now.  Li Xiang was weaker.

    As time goes by, Zheng Zhilong, who has mastered the Southeast Kailuo, will definitely defeat Li Xiang.

    The Dutch and the Spanish.  You can trade spices, silk and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty from Zheng Zhilong.

    And the profits from trade with Europe are also huge.

    In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, Europeans in this era are synonymous with being stupid and having a lot of money.

    Although the dayThere is profit to be made here, but compared to trade with Europeans, it is much less.

    Although there are gold and silver mines in Japan, Li Xiang is not stupid enough to touch those interests.

    Because Japan¡¯s gold and silver mines are all in the hands of the Tokugawa family.

    Now the Tokugawa family has taken control of Japan and established the shogunate.

    If Li Xiang offends the Tokugawa family, then he will really be beyond redemption.

    If Zheng Zhilong and Tokugawa of Japan deal with him at the same time, he will die if he wants to.

    Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xiang to make plans in this regard.

    He can only collect protection fees from the Ming Dynasty and Japanese trading ships, and do some business on his own to maintain the current situation.

    The goods from North Korea can only be profitable if they are brought to the southeast.

    But the southeast side was controlled by Zheng Zhilong, which led to a significant decrease in Li Xiang's income.

    This is why Li Xianghui fought with Zheng Zhilong earlier.

    But even at that time, Li Xiang did not use his armored fleet, which shows how precious he is to that fleet.

    But even this precious fleet is nothing more than a toy compared to the battleships around Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang.

    "A lot of artillery!"

    Under the guidance of his master, Liu Dashen looked at the densely packed artillery on the hulls of the surrounding battleships and was speechless.

    Although the wooden planks at the muzzle of the artillery were lowered, Liu Dashen, who had dealt with the Dutch and Spanish, knew very well that as long as those wooden planks were opened, the cannon would be revealed.

    He counted carefully and found that there were thirty-six cannons on one side of the battleship.

    If you include the number on the other side, there are seventy-two artillery pieces.

    Not counting this, there are usually artillery pieces at the bow and stern of the ship, so such a warship can have at least seventy-four cannons, or even seventy-six cannons.

    This number is much more than the number of artillery guns on any warship on the sea in the Ming Dynasty.

    But what the master said next made Liu Dashen even more shocked.  (To be continued)
