Accommodation arrangements for Qijiu and the first meeting between the two captains

As a prisoner, Miss Anna actually didn't have much choice. Regardless of whether she truly believed that she was being treated preferentially, or she was just being conciliatory, she could only agree to the accommodation arrangements here.

This helplessness was even more completely revealed when she subsequently arranged her followers - Anna herself received preferential treatment, but her followers did not. Even if it was just for safety reasons, it was impossible to put more than thirty people into the main base at once.

Foreigners, even though most of them are women.

So although Captain Andrew tried his best, he was still clearly told that except for the princess and himself who were allowed to stay in the base, everyone else could only live in the prisoner of war camp. If they felt that they were left alone here

If it is not safe, we can go to a prisoner of war camp together, but there is no third option.

The resolute attitude and embarrassing reality made the master and servant very helpless. In the end, Hu Wenjuli and others came to intercede, and they reluctantly allowed the banquet to agree to add a personal maid to the other party. Nobles must always look a bit aristocratic.

What.

However, the girls soon discovered that their good intentions were a bit self-inflicted - they also had to solve the maid's accommodation problem.

Originally, Hu Wen had already reserved a vacant room for the other party. This was not easy - the small building was not large in nature. The front part belonged to the hospital, and the dormitory at the back only had about ten rooms. When no new people came in,

They are already sharing a room. According to her idea, of course this maid should live in the same room as the master, with a small bed separated by a screen or curtain.

Unexpectedly, the noble princess resolutely refused to live in the same room with the servants. Her thoughts were very natural - this house is very big. Find a place in the corridor, under the stairs, or simply in this living room.

Where can one sleep alone? In the Middle Ages, knights and servants slept in pigsties. At that time, they had no concept of human rights.

But the modern girls here firmly refused to agree - when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, they have to be careful not to step on anyone? This is something they can't stand. But they have to explain to a seventeenth-century aristocratic lady that public places cannot be casual.

It's really not easy to grasp this concept, and Julie's Italian should be pretty good. But after spending a long time talking, she still couldn't get rid of the confused look in the big eyes of the beauty opposite.

It's just a trivial matter. The men kept silent in a tacit understanding. Instead, they all looked at how the female team would solve this problem with a joke-like attitude. After all, the dormitory is their territory, and they have the final say.

But they still couldn't see the ending after all - when Pang Yu and others finally couldn't bear the tiredness and looked for a place to sleep, with Hu Wen, Julie, Su Muxue, Wang Jiaojiao and Zhu Yueyue on one side, Miss Anastasia smiled and

Sitting alone on the sofa chair opposite the glass coffee table, the two parties were still negotiating seriously - neither about ransom nor politics, but about where the maid would sleep at night...

It wasn't until the next morning, when Pang Yu yawned profusely and walked out of the temporary work shed, that she heard that the negotiation last night had finally reached a result - Miss Anna agreed to accept a roommate, but it could not be her servant.

In the end, it was arranged for Julie to live with the princess, while the maid shared a room with Hu Wen.

"I'm so dizzy...these girls are really capable..."

Pang Yu Laojie and others could only smile bitterly, if they were still here to talk about what was so troublesome. If they just agreed to keep it or disagreed, get out, they would have done so much trouble.

As for Captain Andrew, it's quite easy to get rid of. Just arrange for him to share a room with Old Jack. Both parties are quite satisfied with this arrangement - Old Jack is very happy to meet a Western compatriot. As for the captain,

He was obviously very interested in how a white European could mix with Chinese people. He tried hard to get information from Jack.

Unlike his versatile hostess, Captain Andrew cannot speak English, but Jack himself knows a little bit of Latin - those who study Western medicine must read the original Latin works, just like those who study Chinese medicine must read the thread-bound books.

So the two sides can barely communicate.

Before the battle, the staff team had made many plans and considered what they should do after winning the battle. Why take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to capture Qiongzhou Prefecture; or go west to Changhua County to grab the Shilu Iron Mine...

...Wait, I have thought about it. That’s why Lao Jie urged Pang Yu to come up with a specific action plan.

But when it comes down to it, the first thing that the time travelers have to worry about after the war is something that no one has thought of in advance - salvaging the sunken ship. To be more specific: salvaging the items on the sunken ship.

Those two Dutch Flute sailing ships. One was hit and sunk in the bay of Red Port, and the other was burned and sunk not too far from the coast. The hull itself has been completely damaged and cannot be used, but the top

However, the materials are still of great salvage value - wood, cables, canvas and metal parts, etc. These things can be reused. They must be salvaged as soon as possible before they have been soaked in water for a long time.

So in the next few days, the main work of the engineering team, military team, and those in the Western captive areas was to salvage the sunken ship. In the Red Card Port, it was simpler: using a small sampan with a large wooden barrel, the crew repeatedly dived into the water, and connected the boat to the wooden barrel.

The items were tied up with ropes and dragged ashore batch by batch.

As for the ship outside, it cannot be salvaged just by relying on the technology of this era. After discussion, everyone decided to let the last batch of diesel fuel remaining on the Qionghai use its residual heat for this purpose. There is a set of tools on the ship.

Diving equipment, land for repairing the bottom of the ship; and with the help of electric motors and oxygen pumps on the ship, it should be able to perform salvage work.

Captain Andrew was fortunate enough to board the Qionghai to assist, because the crew needed some skilled sailors to act as divers to perform underwater operations - underwater operations are very demanding on physical strength, and in addition, inside the collapsed Flute ship

Action, if you don't understand the structure of this kind of ship, it will be very easy to get into trouble and very dangerous, so I want to use Western sailors.

The appeal of this big iron ship to those seventeenth-century sailors cannot be overstated - Old Jack had just revealed a little bit of news, and the Western captives had fallen out, including Captain Andrew, and the Anna

All the crew members on the Princess are very happy to board the Qionghai to do small jobs, even if they are asked to be the lowest slave sailors, scrubbing the deck under the bright sun every day.

However, for safety reasons, the military team only gave them ten places to board the ship. As a result, Andrew naturally occupied the first position, and the other nine were also senior seamen on the Princess, so that the internal salvage affairs of the port

Almost no one was responsible. In the end, Ade, who was in charge of manpower deployment, had to threaten: If the salvage in the port is not done well, none of you foreigners will even think about getting on the ship!

So Captain Andrew forced his first mate and third mate to take turns to be responsible for the salvage inside the port (unfortunately, the second mate was killed in the bombing), but he insisted on staying in the help team. On the day of departure, the Western captain almost

With trembling legs, I slowly climbed up the metal gangway of the Qionghai...

Of course, the first thing he did after boarding the ship was to meet the captain, which seemed to be a very important etiquette on Western ships. However, Andrew, who was over forty years old, saw that the captain of the Qionghai was actually just a young man who was not over twenty years old.

When he was a child, his outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

Fortunately, modern people are very familiar with the handshake etiquette. Xiao Huang shook hands with this Western senior a little shyly - no matter from which aspect, this is indeed a senior. On the contrary, Andrew looked a little reluctant

, he probably felt that the other party was playing a trick on him and deliberately found a trainee sailor to accept his respect - he knew Huang Xiaodong and had used a small boat to pick him up before. But he couldn't believe it anyway, this boat disabled Anna.

The giant steel ship Princess is actually commanded by such a young guy.

But after the ship sailed, he had to believe it, because Huang Xiaodong was at the helm himself - a trainee sailor would never have the chance to touch the steering wheel. Even if this young man was not the captain, his status was certainly not low.

When the Qionghai blew its long whistle and began what might be its last voyage in its life, those Western sailors were all running and shouting excitedly from the bow and stern of the ship. Everyone did not stop these extraordinary actions, and treated these Western sailors

Excitement and surprise are relatively understandable to modern people.

"It's better to be more lenient with them now. In the future we will learn how to operate a sailboat from them. "

This is the common opinion of all members of the staff group. Although the Qionghai is advanced, it is running out of fuel. Their future development at sea will probably depend on this group of foreigners.

Andrew had been staying in the cab. He observed all Huang Xiaodong's movements very carefully, trying to find out the secret of how this steel ship could move so fast without relying on sails or oars. He originally thought that he could understand everything by coming to the ship and watching it in person.
