Chapter 612: The Zhao Family has a Maritime Business 2/5 update

The Song ship opposite is a lucky ship of the sea merchant. It is about 30 meters long and is a square ship with a high tail and pointed bottom. Since it comes from the Pu family of Shiying sea merchants, Pu Jinshu is not unfamiliar with this Song ship that can be used for long-distance voyages.

These ships are large ships with 3,600 materials, mainly used to sail to the South Ocean, India and other places. As large ships with black clothes and food require a large amount of cargo to carry a long voyage, maritime merchants use 5,000 materials to carry more cargo.

At this time, the people on the Song ship opposite had obviously discovered the fleet led by Pu Jinshu. It was because of the ships in his fleet that gave people a very special feeling.

In Pu Jinshu's fleet, in addition to the five Qinhuang-apm-class warships, there are five other considerable "whale-class rapid transport ships" based on Garen ships.

These ships were designed and manufactured by Martin, a famous Garen ship sailing to New England on the Puritan Gate, based on the model of the "Mayflower". Although the model is quite different from the large ship, with the efforts of ship workers from nearby Arabia, Europe and Huangsha City, this ship is still the largest and best ship.

Unfortunately, the ship model made by Martin at that time was not the fastest one among sailboats - the fly-scissors. If it were such a design, it would only take 13 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 13 days. The "Big Whale-class Rapid Transportation Ship" concentrates the characteristics of Chinese sailboats and European sailboats. A bronze propeller is equipped with a human-driven device, so that it can obtain considerable power when the wind is low.

Relatively speaking, the tall masts and soft sails on the Galen ship make people misunderstood what kind of Mediterranean sailing ships were. But in fact, the Galen ship appeared in large cross sailing ships from the 15th to the 17th centuries. A large three-masted sailing ship was usually used as a merchant ship in Spain, while the United Kingdom mostly developed light Galen ships with a standard length of 50 meters and a displacement of 500-600 tons, which were usually used for combat warships.

Of course, the battleship of the Galen ship is not the same as the catamaran designed and manufactured by Martin. Although the double-skiing ship is complicated to process, it requires a lot of metal, and the catamaran has a small load capacity. However, as a firepower platform, it has the advantages of wide decks and rapid movements, which are unmatched by ordinary sailing ships.

It was precisely because of these two strange sailing ships that the Song ship coming from afar that made the hard sails on their lucky ship tilted and began to turn, obviously they were deeply wary of this strange and huge fleet.

Unlike them, Pu Jinshu used the Navy's high-power telescope. After only a look, he suddenly screamed.

"Commander Abu Bakr, hurry up and catch up. That ship belongs to the Master Minami Wai!"

The Chief Secretary of the Southern Foreign Affairs Office? Of course, Abu Bakr, who was not clear about the official system of the Song Dynasty, did not know what organization it was, but he did not know how Pu Jinshu, who grew up in Quanzhou and came from the Maritime Business House. It was actually the name of an official office in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The people living inside were all "discreet families" from the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty and the royal family. To put it bluntly, they were relatives of the emperor at that time. Most of them lived in the Zhao royal family in Quanzhou, and they lived in luxury, and relying on the power of the Zhao family, they often bullied others. In addition to the small subsidies of the imperial court, most of their huge living expenses were borne by the local finances of Quanzhou.

Of course, the descendants of the Zhao family are not all like this. Some people are unwilling to live like this, and often leave the gorgeous villa of Nanwai Zongshi and seek their own way out. Compared with ordinary people, such as those who run maritime merchants, they enjoy free discounts. At the same time, even if they live outside the villa, they still enjoy a subsidy of 1/3 of the grain, so they are easier to succeed than ordinary maritime merchants.

In particular, their merchant ships are often marked as the eye-catching "Nanwai Zongzhengsi" because of treatment such as exemption from fraud and donation, in order to prevent interference from local officials and naval forces.

This matter was told to the others on the same boat, and they only had a rough Chinese language, so they naturally couldn't understand it. But as the leader of the entire fleet, naturally his orders Abu Bakr would obey. And as a pirate, the first thing he thought of was whether Pu Jinshu wanted to do a single "business".

"Mr. Pu, don't be too heavy. If you fire a few shots, you will stop!"

When Pu Jinshu faced Abu Bakr's appearance, he had to shake his head.

"I said to you, Commander, that's the ship of your highness's relatives. If you want to rob, I don't plan to stop you!"

Since leaving Zhao Fubo, Pu Jinshu people have always kept the word "Your Highness" on their lips. It is probably also used to deal with guys like Abu Bakr. After all, they belong to the "official army". If they steal people again, it would be a bit inappropriate.

"Then forget it, just our ship. I'll ask someone to increase the strength. I'll catch up with them in a while! The others asked them to move forward slowly, and we'll catch up later!"

Qinhuang-apm warships are equipped with manpower drive systems, and they are not usually used except for some dangerous conditions. After all, such catamarans are originally very fast, and afterburners are often used for sudden steering during combat and when they seize the upper hand.

With Abu Bakr's order, the sound of hand-cranking steam whistle sounded on the ship. In the cabin, the archers lying in the hammock jumped out of bed and rushed towards their "battle positions". Of course, there were so many people on the deck, and most of them were in the bottom cabin where the stallion lived. Because there was also the same place where the human drive system was located.

As they sat in the seats, half leaned over their bodies and worked hard to pedal. At the end of the seats of the two defeated seats were two thick giant flywheels. They began to accelerate slowly and conveyed the force to the propellers at the tail of the two underwater double hulls through the gears.

A flywheel made of metal with a diameter of about 2.5 meters. When its speed is running, the output of the torque is balanced and inertia also brings great power. The two hulls of the Qinhuang-apm warship immediately appeared, which was white due to the increase in speed.

The performance of this Qin Emperor-apm made the people on the ship of Nanwai Zong Zhengji who had just turned even more scared. They probably didn't expect why this strange-looking ship could reach such a high speed.

When it was less than half a pillar, the ship opposite was already at a distance of audible call. Pu Jinshu, standing at the bow of the ship, found a trumpet for calling and called to the ship opposite.
