The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 958: Prince experience life

The Navy 181 has a good sustainability, and it has made the best use of everything. It has been on duty at sea for a month!

The food was always good. After all, Yan Kun ate the officer’s meal, but the water-saving measures on the warship made him miserable. This area is a tropical sea area, where people sweat a lot, and sailors can work naked and wear a pair of trousers. The officer had to maintain his appearance, and at least a short-sleeved summer dress was still needed. As a result, after a post, his clothes were full of white salt!

Oh my goodness, there is no water to wash clothes!

Everyone only has 2 cups of water per day. This little water is used to wash and wipe the body. Many people emit a burst of stench, especially in the large cabin.

The same is true for Yan Kun. He has no hope for the romantic life of the navy. He wrote in his diary: "A warship is actually a bunch of stinky wood put together!"

Moreover, after the initial freshness has passed, every day is on duty, off work, eating, sleeping, and group life. Anyway, do what you should do, and don’t do what you shouldn’t do!

Seeing his troubles, Yan Kun accepted a new task to write the ship’s logbook. He became the captain’s assistant to understand the ship’s affairs and report daily events. After he finished writing, he handed it over to the officers. Sign, this is also the exercise of the chiefs to him.

Everyone’s logbook was written neatly and neatly. These days it was Yan Kun’s handwriting. At first he was afraid that he could not write well, but he soon understood from the previous logbook that all naval logbooks are similar. His language is semi-literary, semi-official, dull and boring, and never changes. Even if this warship was caught outside, it did not use even a slightly human tone. There is also the record of the 71st barrel of beef barrel opening and flying in the wind and waves. The language used in the records of the two officers and soldiers going to sea is exactly the same.

He wrote:

On March 28, the wind direction was changeable in the southeast, heading 50 west to the south, 30 miles offshore, at 7 am with moderate wind, cloudy, and the first mid-mast sail was closed. In the afternoon, the weather was the same as that of the artillery exercise, and people were occasionally busy.

On March 29, south-east and east winds, moderate wind, clear weather, cannon drills, the middle and upper mast cable broke, and it turned cloudy in the afternoon. The third main mid-sail was closed and the other fore-mast mid-sail was put in, and then put away At 4 o'clock, the square sail was rolled up and tied tightly to the stringer. The non-commissioned officer Zhang Moumou and the first-class soldier Chen Moumou fell into the sea and disappeared.

On March 30, the wind turned calm, the artillery exercise, and the No. 71 beef barrel was opened.

On March 31st,... the captain convened all the crew to read and study the "Navy Military Discipline" in groups, and held a religious ceremony. The captain toasted and presented Mazu Niangniang. The weather at noon was the same as above.

...

As a result, Ma Xinghua satirized him with the following writing: "It is peaceful, calm, and old-fashioned, and the image of an old master has spontaneously emerged!"

Life in the Navy will never be so plain. The weather is the same as above. But when the sun sets westward, a large black wall of purple clouds on the horizon is expanding. The veterans say that a storm is generating. They are experienced and think that the clouds are expanding to the southeast. , The viscous heat blowing from the sky, Hailiang rising from the glass-like crystal sea surface, and the intimidating look of the sun, all foretell that the climate will be as unbearable as when someone chased him down.

The sailors continued their explanations, but no matter how they described them, they would not exaggerate the facts, because the southeast wind was getting stronger and stronger. The squally wind that blew at the end of the last two-hour shift became the hurricane at the end of noon. The storm engulfed in hot rain was so violent that it was difficult for the commander to see the clear sea road.

Surrounded by big waves and gusty winds, staying in the glass bridge, Yan Kun was horrified by the power of nature and admired the abilities of naval officers. They still knew how to navigate!

The answer is the compass and the chart. The compass is reliable. It indicates the position of the warship. It relies on the charts produced by the Southeast Army Survey Brigade and remembers them firmly, so the officers are at ease.

The waves are getting bigger and bigger, and the rotating current makes the warship hover like a wooden board, suffering torture!

The violent wind and waves swept in and buried the ship deeply into the sea. Yan Kun even saw the big waves just outside the cabin, and then the wind and waves lifted the ship out of the water. With this in and out, Yan Kun only felt fearful.

He knew it well. He followed the captain to check the windbreak preparations. All hatches were closed, and the artillery was fastened with double retreat cables. The cabin was airtight, and there was very little seawater infiltrated, which showed that this is quite a line. A good warship can overcome wind and waves.

No matter how strong the wind and waves are, I stand still!

There were the captain, the navigator, the helmsman, and Yan Kun on the bridge. He saw that the three people looked as usual and did not pay attention to the big waves at all, and he followed their manners.

However, a piece of news came that the middle mast mooring was loosened, and six people were sent out to fasten the moorings. As a result, they were swept away by the wind and waves.

I saw the captain hit his leg with a fist!

Yan Kun's eyes straightened. Sergeant Zhang Moumou knew him. Yesterday, the two of them cooperated with each other to play cards, and they sat opposite him.

Unexpectedly, I will never see him again today!

...

At night, when the storm stopped, Yan Kun went to the captain's room to send the day's logbook for Shi Lang to sign. Seeing that he was writing under the light, he couldn't write for a long time.

"I'm writing to their family!" Shi Lang took the initiative to mention: "Your father's rules are very good. Ask the chief to write letters to the families of the men who died in battle. Writing this kind of letter is the most difficult job for the chief! "

"Sergeant Zhang’s father is no longer ~lightnovelpub.net~ and disappeared in the wind and waves. There is no bones left. His mother is ill. He finally relied on the'subsistence allowance' to pull him up. He is the biggest in the family and the pillar of support. To bear the living expenses of the following gang of siblings, because of financial difficulties at home, he has already overdue service, he is not married, and is scheduled to retire next year. I didn't expect this to happen!"

"You said, how can I write this letter!" Shi Lang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yan Kun listened, only feeling bitter in his mouth, and couldn't help but say: "Maybe he shouldn't be sent out!"

"He is the best skilled and the most experienced. If you don't send him out, who will be sent out?" Shi Lang said coldly: "The army doesn't care about human relations. Whenever it is needed, anyone can get it!"

"If you don't handle it properly, the entire ship may be dangerous. If you send other people, more people may die!" Shi Lang said.

"He disappeared after dealing with the dangerous situation, so what I can do is to ask him for credit and make him a martyr, so that his family will be better compensated, and the upper part generally allows such things to be released..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Kun murmured, only thinking that such a topic was extremely heavy!
