Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

The sloop Merchant Far Away.

"Everyone, let's go up and have a look!" Looking at the tall bowsprit of a sloop more than 1 meters long, four meters wide, and with a displacement of more than [-] tons, it stabbed at it like a spear. In the vast sea, Kang Lin smiled and invited the officers under his command to board the ship. It was the first time he had seen this kind of sloop. Shocked by the dense and cobweb-like sails and rigging, he took the lead in stepping on the knee-deep sea water and came to the bottom of the "Distant Merchant". Then, holding on to the thick cable, he climbed onto the deck of the sloop in one breath, and a group of officers, seeing that their chief had already become the No. They waded, climbed, and boarded the deck of the "Distant Merchant" one after another, and then, they saw a place that was completely different from their ship!What is hung on the lonely mainmast is not the wide and hard sail that is commonly seen on the seas of East Asia, but a soft sail made of cloth. The wind receiving area is much larger than the former. The old sea dog knows that this kind of sail can make the "Distant Merchant" run at a speed that is unattainable for ordinary Chinese sailboats in the same wind. Seven or eight knots are just normal operations. If the wind is smooth and the sailors are all veterans Under such circumstances, it is not uncommon to run out of ten or even eleven or twelve quarters, but this is a bit sensational!You know, the two fastest bird boats in Chiyang have a maximum speed of only seven or eight knots, so they can't maintain it for a long time. How can they compare with the former, who can easily increase their speed to more than ten knots? And with the bowsail and jib, there's even a further possibility...

At this point, Kangda Baihu expressed that he was very satisfied with the new toys that the system rewarded him!At the same time, he also knows that if he wants to truly display the combat effectiveness of the Sroop-style sloop, he must let the Chiyang Banner Army board the ship as soon as possible to become familiar with the operation of European-style sailboats. After all, soft sails are not Hard sails, sloops are not blessing ships, bird ships, and sand ships. Without systematic training, it is impossible to get started quickly. At that time, let alone rushing to the forefront, as the military force of the entire expedition fleet, can you not fight? It would be nice to sink in the yellow water ocean!At this moment, the Chiyang Fleet is still at a stage of weak strength. It is self-evident what the loss of a powerful warship means to them: this is not only a decline in overall strength, but even Even the energy and spirit that the flag soldiers finally condensed will be hit hard!And Kang Lin, as the supreme commander of the fleet, would not just sit back and watch such things happen, so he took all the officers, the chief, and more than ten capable sailors on board the ship named " The sloop of the Faraway Merchant, he wants to seize the last moment before setting out for Korea, and let his subordinates get familiar with the European-style sailboat under his feet as soon as possible, and the first step is to find a way to start this ship with a displacement of only [-] Tons of sloops!

"System, unlock the Elite Nassau Pirates Experience Card for me—Billy!"Kang Lin didn't have any talents familiar with European sailing ships, so he set his sights on the omnipotent empire system. This guy clearly remembered that he had drawn an experience card and a Nassau pirate in the previous treasure chest draws. Billy's Experience Card!Therefore, this guy asked the Empire System to unlock this experience card. He wanted to use the rich sailing experience of the Western pirates to help his chief officer quickly become familiar with the "Distant Merchant" sloop, so as to form combat effectiveness in a short time. !

"Boss, Greetings from Billy of Nassau!" Same recipe, same taste!After a burst of familiar white light, the elite Nassau Pirate Billy with short hair, wearing a linen shirt and leggings showed a cool look on his face, and just appeared in front of everyone, and with the ninja Suzuki The difference between Kojiro and Yang Shoucheng, an engineer and scholar, is that this tall European white-skinned guy doesn't seem to know what politeness and respect are. All the melon eaters were stunned!He wondered who this blue-eyed and big-nosed guy was, and why he was so outspoken when he came up, no matter how big or small, could it be that he was an old acquaintance of the leader like that Chang Pangsheng?

"Oh, damn it, the weather is so cold, I'm about to freeze to death, Boss, can you give me a bottle of rum to go to the cold first, and the red coats on gentlemen are also good, Can you also give me one..." Regardless of the various gazes around him, Billy is still talking to himself, not at all aware of being in a tiger's den, he is a Western pirate, He dared to do something on board the Daming navy ship, and he was not afraid of being ordered by Lord Baihu to push out the gate and chop off his head!In fact, he was really not afraid, because this fellow was very keenly aware of the thirst for talents in the eyes of the other party's big boss. He knew that the fat captain in front of him would not do anything to him for a little thing, and everything that happened next , and soon proved that his guess was right!Not only did Kang Lin agree to his request with a smile, but he also kindly asked the guards to fetch all the things he wanted, a bottle of Jiannan Shaochun, a red fat jacket, and twenty Spanish cross silver dollars. The thing is that when Chiyang was still a pirate, he looted the stolen goods from a merchant ship from Southeast Asia. Since Shandong Chengxuan announced that the political envoy was in the north of the empire, this kind of poorly crafted Flang machine silver was not in circulation yet. Pancakes, so they are kept until now.Now that it was necessary to focus on this person to start the sloop, Kang Lin did not hesitate to take these silver pancakes as a favor.

"Oh, it's the silver coin of the bacon (a disparaging name for the Spaniards), thank God, Boss, you are so generous, Billy of Nassau is willing to work for you!" However, when this guy stretched out his big yellow-haired hand towards the shiny cross silver coins, a long knife with sheathed goose feathers blocked his further movement. It was Kang Lin, the red Kang Lin, the leader of the Yang Fleet, saw this man with a smile on his face, and said in an unhurried tone,

"Mr. Billy, I can give you strong wine and a coat to keep you out of the cold, and I can give you gold and silver to live, but I can also give you lead bullets and steel knives, so that you can lose your life! Here are thirty French Crosses The silver coin is a deposit for you. As long as you can teach my subordinates to pilot this sloop proficiently within ten days and form a combat capability as soon as possible, I will reward you with more silver coins, one hundred silver crosses How about beautiful silk and precious porcelain?"

"Oh, God, are you talking about the silk and porcelain of Seris? My lord, if you really pay me for those things, the villain will train yours within ten days, er no, within a week Subordinates become qualified sailors, navigators, bosuns, and even second mates, first mates..."Money can turn ghosts around!A moment ago, he was still a white-skinned ghost with a stinky fart. After hearing that Kang Lin offered such a heavy reward, he immediately changed his face. Lin was promoted from a boss to a distinguished adult, and he also took care of everything Kang Lin ordered.To be honest, training sailors is not a difficult task in his opinion. As long as you have rum and sticks, you can stop in the back alleys of Port Royal or Nassau bars in Jamaica, and you can harvest enough drunks and vagabonds in minutes , and vagrants serving as sailors.Of course, this is the homeland of Siris, there is no garbage, scum, and maggots to knock him unconscious and turn him into a sailor, but looking at the bastards in red army coats in front of him, Billy believes that as long as he uses Sticks and whips can train them to look like individuals in a very short period of time!After all, these red-coated soldiers were originally experienced sailors and technical officers. What they lacked was not sailing experience, but the operation of European-style soft sails.Unlike Chinese hard sails, which can be operated by only a few people, European soft sails need to constantly raise, lower, and adjust the sail direction. It cannot take advantage of the wind from all directions, so more people are needed to control it.Fortunately, Kang Linyi’s sloop ship in Gancheng has a mainmast and a bowsprit that need to raise, lower and adjust the sail, so the assault training is not very difficult. Compared with the small pirate leader in Nassau Li Cai dared to boast in front of the former, saying that he only needed seven days to train those sailors who had never been exposed to Western-style sails into two-sail sailors who were proficient in handling European-style sailboats!

"Okay, there is a Chinese saying that goes well, 'It's the mule or the horse that comes out for a walk', let you play the hype today, I just look at the results, you can train me a qualified European-style gymnastics within seven days You can take away sailors, silver coins, silk and porcelain, but if you can’t train them by then, please choose one to take away with lead bullets and steel knives! Well, it’s still early, you can start training them now !" Carrot plus stick, Conlin is already very familiar with this method, so he interrupted Billy's boasting very impatiently, and let him start training the officers and sailors under his command.

"Okay, ok, you are the honorable lord, you have the final say! Gentlemen, hurry up and get ready to get on the mast, just two guys who are not so stupid, and the others will handle the winch, trim the sails, and the rudder. Two people too, don't worry, take your time, we will definitely be able to steer this beautiful sloop under our feet to ride the wind and waves, and go to any corner of the world..."
