    It can be seen that Li Huamei's authority is really prohibitive on this ship. After giving the order, the ship was busy for a while, pulling the sail and turning the rudder. After a long time, they finally turned the big ship.  The ship's course changed and headed toward Manila.  But no one questioned Li Huamei's order.  This leader is indeed well-deserved.

    Manila, according to historical records, was quite unfriendly to the Chinese in this era. Within a few decades, the Spanish planned three massacres of more than 10,000 people against the Chinese, which almost angered the huge Ming emperor.  The people on this boat are all Chinese. When we go there, aren't we worried about something happening?

    However, this is not something Li Zhe can consider now. He is just a ship passenger now.  Well, that's what he thought. Whether the sailors thought they were saving his life or Li Huamei thought he had no ability to resist, it had no impact on Li Zhe.

    With Li Zhe¡¯s current fighting power, if he unleashes his power, can Li Huamei¡¯s shabby ship still be able to stop it?  Of course it's within reach.  It's just that Li Zhe is not Erque and is unwilling to launch easily before he understands the situation.  He still needs time to have a certain understanding of the current environment.  All countermeasures are countermeasures under certain environmental conditions. If you just mess around without knowing anything, what is the difference between you and a fool?

    In the evening, Li Zhe finally saw the accommodation where he was arranged. Well, the so-called accommodation was actually a hammock set up in the lower cabin.  When sailing on the sea, any ship must adhere to a strict hierarchy. The higher the status, the higher the level of residence. The lowest level sailors can only live in the warehouse on the bottom, which is ventilated and breathable.  The situation was quite bad. There was a choking musty smell everywhere, which made Li Zhe wonder if he would be suffocated to death if he slept here.

    With this worry, Li Zhe chatted with Xiao Lizi next to him.  While asking about things in a roundabout way.

    It turns out that this ship is currently on the surface of the South China Sea, and the current time is also the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty. Calculating the time, it is exactly 1630.  And this era is truly the beginning of the Age of Discovery, just like historical records.  Throughout Nanyang, foreign barbarians were everywhere. With their advanced guns and artillery, they occupied many traditional Chinese territories and established the vigorous silver trade era in the late Ming Dynasty!  There is no difference from the history that Li Zhe knows.

    The sailors on this ship are actually pirates who were half merchants and half bandits in the late Ming Dynasty. They are all a group of miserable people who were gathered together by the crazy woman to make a living at sea.  Of course, the so-called pirates also mean to put gold on their faces. This ship, at first glance, is a cargo ship, a typical sand ship style.

    The deck is spacious, the depth is small, the freeboard is low, and the load capacity is large. It is only suitable for inland river and offshore navigation. Although it has many masts and sails and can travel with and against the wind, the ship has a flat bow, low speed, large water area, and poor wave breaking ability.  It's also bad. Navigating on the sea has many problems, and it is impossible to use it as a warship.  And installing artillery is even more impossible.  A slightly larger wave covered the deck of the ship.

    " Driving such a broken ship in the South China Sea and plundering merchant ships, in Li Zhe's opinion, the people on this ship, together with that woman, are no different from lunatics. Their courage is commendable!  IQ is really lacking.

    But this is someone else¡¯s business, what does it have to do with Li Zhe!  Go to Manila, haha!  Li Zhe was very welcoming. In Li Zhe's view, in the late Ming Dynasty, the bloodthirsty and cruel colonists in Europe were probably easier to contact than the people of the Ming Dynasty. Cold-blooded colonialism, typical interests first, as long as there are good things,  Don't worry about being speechless. As long as you are strong enough, you can move through this troubled world where thieves are rampant without any side effects. It is much better than those stubborn scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty.  This Manila was originally one of his goals when he came to this world.

    The wind direction turned to the north, which gave this broken ship, even though it was not very suitable for sailing, the power of the wind. The huge sails swelled under the strong wind, and the Zhenhai ran desperately towards the southeast.

    Zhenhai is the name of this broken ship, and Li Zhe is now a member of it.  Of course, in fact, he can't do anything!  Steering the sails, turning the rudder, calculating the wind direction and so on at sea are all real technical tasks. Li Zhe does not have this ability, so his status on the ship is the lowest, even lower than that of a sailor.

    "Hey! Big man! Bring me the bucket and scrub the deck here!" As the helmsman, the bald Lao Li began to exert his authority and wanted to rectify the new subordinate who had just boarded the ship and let him keep watch.  rule.

    Li Zhe obeyed the order obediently and did not carry the bucket. Instead, he picked up the large wooden bucket weighing hundreds of kilograms that was used to store water on the ship with both hands, and went up to the deck amidst the astonishment of everyone!  walkingDuring this time, the ship's deck stairs made an appalling creaking sound.

    oh¡ª¡ª

    A group of people on the deck reacted and let out a chorus of exclamations!

    Hey!  Big guy!  Not bad!  What a great effort!  Sailor Brother Zhang Wu patted Zi Li Zhe on the shoulder and praised loudly.

    The face of the bald old Li who ordered Li Zhe to scrub the deck immediately turned dark.

    Li Zhe held up the bucket, approached the bald man, and asked:

    "How to wipe it!"

    Ha ha ha ha!  A group of sailors burst into laughter!

    Bald old Li's face became even more ugly, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He couldn't help but waved a wooden stick towards Li Zhe. Li Zhe tilted his hand, tilted the huge wooden barrel, and immediately blocked it, and then left his left hand.  As soon as he let go, the barrel actually hit the bald man's head.

    Lao Li hurriedly dodged, but his foot slipped and fell to the deck. He was unable to dodge. He watched helplessly as the huge wooden barrel smashed towards his face. He was so frightened that he stretched his arms like an ostrich.  Hiding behind, he let out a long and shrill scream!  ah!  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "You've been waiting for a long time. Is everything okay?"

    Opening his hands, he saw that Li Zhe's left hand was firmly holding the barrel only one foot away from Lao Li, and he smiled meaningfully at Lao Li from the corner of his eyes!

    "On purpose, he did it on purpose, he must have done it on purpose," Lao Li's chest rose and fell violently. He was still frightened, and his heart was spinning countless times!  so bad!  This guy is so bad!  As soon as I got on the ship, he dared to punish me, the helmsman, in front of all the sailors. Then in a few days, he would be turned upside down.  But now under the pressure of Li Zhe's barrel, Lao Li can only show his begging for mercy!

    Li Zhe smiled, put the big wooden barrel aside, and walked to the stern of the boat. Only then did Lao Li stagger to his feet, looking at Li Zhe's back, unable to stop being in a daze.

    The people on the deck looked at the scene just now with thoughtful expressions.  It seemed that the big man who had just been rescued from the sea was not a good person.  I just don¡¯t know if the master can restrain him.

    ¡­¡­

    Navigation on the sea is actually an extremely boring job. The horizon is always out of reach between heaven and earth.  Every day is the same sunrise and sunset, with seabirds soaring, but more often than not, even birds are rare to see. There are only blue sky and blue sea to accompany you everywhere you look, as if you are between heaven and earth.  You are the only one enjoying this endless loneliness, and a feeling of looking into the eyes of the Creator arises spontaneously.

    Unless you are extremely passionate about it, you will never adapt to this monotonous life.

    Just as Li Zhe was feeling like this, the Zhenhai, following the sea breeze, kept traveling southeast, rising and falling again and again with the waves. The big ship creaked and groaned rhythmically in the sea breeze, and the sea water on the deck countless times  Filled with water, it does not detract from the fun of sailors fighting against the waves at all.

    Manila is slowly approaching

    "What do you want to do in Manila?" One day, while Li Huamei was idle, Li Zhe came over and asked, "This ship of yours seems not suitable for such a long sea voyage. Maybe, haha! One day  It doesn¡¯t necessarily mean that it will fall apart!¡±

    In the past two days, Li Zhe's stupidity and boldness caused him to have a bad relationship with the sailors on the Zhenhai. Only Xiao Lizi and Zhang Wu Ge had a good relationship with him.  Usually boring, but I was able to chat with Li Huamei for a few words. This shocked the entire crew of the ship.  In their eyes, when had the fierce female captain ever treated other men so kindly and equally?  Li Zhe became increasingly distant in everyone's minds.

    Li Huamei didn't take Li Zhe's teasing seriously either. It seemed that she enjoyed Li Zhe's casual conversation with her.  "Although this ship is older, it is not as insusceptible as you think. I have been sailing in the South Sea for several years, and it is still fine! It depends on who uses it.

    I can see that you are somewhat knowledgeable, but things on the sea cannot be seen by people on land just by looking at the port. The sailors around you are all crooked.  Jujube, the experience of sailing has been gained since childhood.  In the hands of others, this boat can only be used as a river boat. In their hands, it is no problem at all to use it as a sea boat.

    As for Manila, haha!  It¡¯s up to you to tell me!  "

    Li Zheqi said:

    "Let me tell you?! How should I tell you? It's your order to go to Manila. How do I know why you want to go to Manila?"

    "Huh! It's not all because of you!" Li Huamei turned around and glared at Li Zhe.In that room, a face bloomed like a wild flower, charming and charming, with a strange aura that made Li Zhe's heart beat faster.

    "There are Spaniards in Manila. They are good at building ships and cannons. I have wanted one for a long time, but I have no way. Li Zhe! Didn't you come back from the West? Haha! You can also speak Spanish. Isn't this a real person?  It¡¯s a golden opportunity. As long as you can help me get a big ship like the foreigners can mount dozens of cannons, hum! It¡¯s like you¡¯ve repaid me for saving my life!¡±

    Li Zhe was stunned when he heard this, and his head felt like he had been hit several times with a sledgehammer!  This time he was completely convinced by Li Huamei. This person was really a complete lunatic and his actions were totally unreasonable.

    When she transferred to Manila, she had just met Li Zhe. Without knowing the basics, she dared to take people to Manila with all her might. Could it be that she relied on the English phrase that Li Zhe used to shout for help at sea - helpme!

    "You can buy a boat, yes! But, can you tell me where your money is?" Li Zhe remembered a very important thing.

    Li Huamei waved her hand impatiently, turned around and went back to the cabin!  Sure enough, there was nothing!

    I x!  This woman really cannot be provoked, otherwise she will be killed by this person sooner or later, Li Zhe secretly made a decision in his heart!  (To be continued.
