In addition to this, Chembel was also very interested in the "rocket torpedo" that the Russians used at sea, and had already asked the French employees to inquire about the equipment and prepare to introduce technology to produce it themselves......

This Harbour Master is actually quite capable of tossing.

Today was the day of the trial voyage of the newly built torpedo boat, and He Ruzhang could not help but be secretly surprised when he saw that this Qingbeiler meant that he was going to go to sea with him.

After the establishment of the Harbour Master, starting from the first Harbour Master Shen Youdan, there was an unwritten rule that every time a new ship was launched, the Harbour Master had to participate in the first sea trial as an incentive to his subordinates. And this Chingbel is said to be a master who often gets seasick, and he travels far away with chariots and horses. When he left Beijing to take office, the shipmaster originally arranged for the high-speed notification ship "Feiting" to be greeted as a special ship, but this Qingbeile refused, and took the land route, first by train, then by horse-drawn carriage, and walked for a month and a half, before arriving in Fuzhou. After he arrived, he was never seen on a boat. Today, he actually wanted to take a torpedo boat for a sea trial, which really surprised He Ruzhang.

A team of carriages came to the dock, He Ruzhang retracted his thoughts, turned his eyes, and saw that the door of the carriage led by him was opened, and Lin Yiqing and Chen Wan walked down.

Seeing Chen Wan, a hint of admiration flashed in He Ruzhang's eyes.

If it weren't for Chen Wan inheriting Lin Yizhe's legacy and always supporting the shipmaster with her business income, the shipmaster would not have achieved what it is today.

He guessed who else would take part in the trial today.

Several other carriages stopped, the doors opened, and young students of the Harbour Master School in naval uniforms stepped down.

He Ruzhang noticed that the skin of these students was slightly dark, and some of them had black and red checkered ornaments in their collars, and their appearance was also different from that of the weak Fujian students. Find out right away. They are Paiwan students from Moss Bay.

In that year, Japan invaded Moss Bay. In order not to exterminate the clansmen, a large number of young men and women were sent to Fuzhou for refuge in advance, and were sent to the Ship Master School by Lin Yizhe, and now these children have grown up.

Most of these children lost their parents in the war and became orphans. And Chen Wan took on the responsibility of taking care of them and became their de facto mother.

And Lin Yiqing specially arranged for these children to participate in the trial voyage today, and He Ruzhang certainly understood his intentions.

Due to the special nature of the use of torpedo weapons, the officers and men of the torpedo boats are required to be calm and calm in combat, and to operate calmly in an extremely dangerous environment under the rain of bullets and bullets. The psychological quality of the Fujian students was obviously inferior to that of these Paiwan students, and in order to let the torpedo boat unit form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Lin Yiqing made a bold decision to let these children who survived the war become the backbone of the torpedo boat unit.

Not much. Under the leadership of Lin Yiqing, the students boarded four torpedo boats, "Fu Jiao", "Fu Jiao", "Fu Qiu" and "Fu Lin". As He Ruzhang expected. This time, Qingbeile also got on the "Fujiao" torpedo boat with Lin Yiqing.

The four torpedo boats newly built by the shipmaster and the "Fulong" torpedo boat belong to the same class of boats, but the "Fulong" was built by the German shipyard of Luping Shihao, which is good at building torpedo boats, but these four boats are the same class boats that the shipmaster uses the existing technology to imitate the "Fulong", and the construction of a large torpedo boat by the shipmaster is the first time, although the project is going smoothly and the time taken is shorter than that of the German shipyard, but the performance can only be seen in this sea trial.

Everything was ready, and under the eager eyes of He Ruzhang, the shipping officials and Chen Wan, the four torpedo boats sailed out of the dock one after another and rushed to the open sea.

The torpedo boat was moving fast on the sea, and the young man of the Paiwan tribe named Saiwa was unaware of the whistling waves crashing the hull, his eyes were always fixed on Lin Yiqing outside the cabin, and one hand gently stroked the clothes on his chest.

Underneath his clothes was the little agate lion he had never left.

In such an almost completely enclosed space as a torpedo boat, his thoughts gradually returned to his childhood......

……

"Adults know that in the Atayal tribe, when a baby boy is born, the mother will quietly hide the umbilical cord in the rattan box or bullet pouch that the father carries dry food, let it go hunting with the father, and pray for the ancestral spirit to bless the child to grow into a brave hunter. If it is a girl, it is said that a good helper was born for weaving, cooking and picking wild fruits. So, he placed the umbilical cord next to the loom used by the mother, held the baby and prayed to the ancestral spirit to bless the child to grow up to be an excellent weaver. ”

"In other ethnic groups of the Modi Fan tribe, there is also a custom of storing the umbilical cord in different places, such as the Beinan people wrap the umbilical cord in paper and hide it under the mother's pillow or in the sewing basket; The Cao people, Saixia people, etc., buried the umbilical cord in the ground, and the placenta in the house, in order to seek good luck. ”

"The Fan people are as particular about naming their children as Middle-earth, and the time for naming them varies from ethnic group to ethnic group. The Saixia people waited for the baby's umbilical cord to fall off and held a purification ceremony before naming it; The Bunun people are at the time of the baby's full moon. When the name is named, there are also ceremonies, singing, dancing, drinking, and inviting the gods, which is very solemn. The name of the Fan clan should be selected according to the ancestral name genealogy to name the child. The ancestral names are all auspicious and good-sounding, and later generations also like to use the names of their ancestors. There are also tribes that distinguish high and low from their names. In the genealogy of the Fan clan, in addition to the names of the ancestors, there are those that commemorate the birth and birthplace. There are also some names that don't have any meaning but just sound pleasing to the ear, such as Atayal's Udawu, Mashawu, Doling, etc. Due to the long contact with the Han people, the names of the people have also been affected, such as the Ami people also have names called Ah Fu, Ah Xiang, etc., all of which are Hokkien names. ”

"What does the chief's son just now, named Erlan, mean?"

"Erlan means 'road' in Fanyu. The one who toasted the adults just now was the daughter of the leader, Erlan's sister, named Eaya. ”

"Aya? Very nice name. What does the name mean? ”

The name is supposed to be a nice and pleasant name, and it has no specific meaning. If adults give small gifts to newborns, it can increase friendship. ”

The agate lion cub was given to him on the day he was born.

"Please give my grandson a name."

"I hope that this child will be as brave as a lion in the future and become a good hunter. Protect the people of the territory. Let's call him 'Lion Baby'. ”

"Thank you, Lord for your name!"

"My grandson's name is 'Saiwa' (this is a transliteration of Chinese in the Turkish language. Since modern times, due to the import of Han and other foreign cultures, the indigenous people of Taiwan have been greatly affected, and there is this way of transliterating Chinese words and names. Author's note. ）！ ”

"Saiva! Saiva! ”

"This kid seems to be destined for an adult......

His name was Saiwa.

His father is the famous hero of the Paiwan tribe, and his grandfather is the famous leader of the Paiwan tribe, Alugu.

And fathers and grandfathers. and her aunt who loves her, Aya is now gone......

And the benefactor who gave himself an onyx lion cub to name himself......

The person in front of him turned out to be exactly like him!

Could it be that he didn't die and came back?

Why does he seem to not recognize himself?

Wrong! He's really dead!

Mother Mu (referring to Chen Wan) and sister Ulan both said that he is dead!

Why did Mom cry when she saw this person?

Everyone said that this man was his twin brother, is it true?

Suddenly, Sewa felt his body sink suddenly, he thought to himself. This was followed by the ship's take-off.

Originally, there was not a trace of wind in the four places, but now I felt it. The wind whined, and the noisy people were a little uneasy. But at this moment, the few of them really didn't think much of it, just listened to the sound of the wind, the low chirping of birds, and the sound of water crackling from under the boat to the surface of the sea, and the rumbling of water from outside.

For a moment, he heard the sound of the boat crashing against the water as it returned to the surface, and after the boat shook for a while, he heard a burst of laughter.

Seva looked up and saw that Lord Baylor was like a swinging chicken, his whole body wet with the sea, but he didn't care, and laughed happily as he wiped his face with his hands.

And beside him, Lin Yiqing's body only has a few traces of water.

Could it be that he nimbly avoided the waves?

"What was the speed of the ship just now? Did you test it? Chingbel asked loudly.

"Report to your lord, the speed measured just now is twenty-five .four knots." An officer reported.

"Haha! Twenty-five four verses! This speed is more than that of 'Fulong'! The craftsmanship of our shipwright's craftsman has also caught up with the German! Chin Belle shouted excitedly.

"This is because there are no torpedo machine guns and other weapons, and the hull is lighter, so the measured speed is far beyond the design speed, but as it stands, even if the weapons are installed, the actual speed is still higher than that of the 'Fulong'." Lin Yiqing smiled and patted the collar of Qing Beiler's official uniform with his hand, letting the stagnant water on it slide down.

"When our four boats are equipped with torpedoes, and the officers and men are well trained, we will go north to show the Russians! Don't they dare to scare us with ironclad ships? Qingbeile waved his arms uncontrollably and shouted loudly, "If you dare to do it, we will use torpedoes to knock them off!" ”

"That's it." Lin Yiqing said with a smile.

"Today's trial voyage was successful, let's have a good time when we go back! Celebrate! Chembel turned and said, immediately eliciting a burst of cheers.

This Lord Belle has always rewarded the people below him richly, because when he heard him say this, all the people on the boat thundered with joy.

At the end of the trial voyage, when returning, passing through an unknown island, Qing Beile heard a sailor say that the scenery on this island is very good, and it is rich in sea fish, so he asked the boat team to rest here for a while, Lin Yiqing knew that this Belle Lord wanted to go to the island to enjoy fishing, smiled and agreed, so the torpedo boat dropped anchor on the shore of the island, Qing Beile and Lin Yiqing and the officers and soldiers of the boat team waded ashore and played around.

Saiwa stood on the island and had a very strange feeling.

He could hear the sound of thousands of horses under his feet as the sea water crashed against the cliff wall, and he could hear the crisp chirping of seabirds circling in the blue sky above, and the leaves of the trees close to him reflected the sunlight in his eyes, and the breeze rustled from time to time, making him feel an inexplicable kindness.

After everyone had agreed on the time of the rendezvous, they scattered and walked in the glade, and after a while they were no longer visible. Saiva walked all the way deeper into the woods, where the leaves of the trees were still numerous, but there was also a thick layer on the ground. Tired of walking. And he lay down.

At this time, the scorching sun is in the sky. He heard his companion Mokan singing a toast out of tune from deeper into the woods. He shook his head with a smile and walked over there. The deeper you go into the woods, the more you end up out of the woods. A meadow of soft verdant greenery sloped downwards to the great lake in the middle of the forest and the island. On the edge of the lake there was an unusually tall and ancient tree growing alone, and the three men of Liou, Mokan, and Vali sat under the tree, spread out a cloth mat, and drank and sang there.

The meadows seemed to grow up from the lake. In the meadows around the shore of such an empty lake. Only one tall tree leaned against the shore of the lake. The golden leaves are very dazzling, and the branches of the tree are coiled with a kind of vine that has no leaves in sight, like a dragon, making the original old tree look so vibrant. The golden leaves fell from the trees from time to time with the invisible breeze. It swirls and floats down onto the people who are drinking and singing, to the verdant ground, to the blue lake beneath the sky. Decorated with stars and golden, dream-like colors. The leaves just kept falling and fluttering. I don't know how long it has been floating, and how long it will be floating. It's as if the leaves never float endlessly, just repeating the cycle over and over again.

When he saw Sewa coming up, Vali looked at him and beckoned him to come and drink.

As soon as Sewa sat down, Vaya sighed and fell beside him with a grunt, next to his shoulder. The kid seemed to hesitate for a long time, and then suddenly opened his mouth: "Hey, Saiva, what do you think of Ah Hong?" ”

He asked about the dark-haired, bright-eyed Atayal girl who laughed at them before they set off during the day, and when Saiwa thought of this girl, he first thought that the pair of thin black eyebrows as sharp as silver hooks were the most beautiful.

"Not bad." He said absentmindedly, "It's just a little fierce." ”

He is ambitious, and he always feels that those Fan girls are not good, and he loves to mock people too much. "I heard that the girls in the city are very good, they are all as thin as silk, not enough to hold a hand."

"I'm in love with her," Vali said with a sigh, putting his hands behind his head and looking forward blankly, grinning with his teeth in love. "You say, when will I kill a wild boar and give her a fang? Or go to the city and find her a crystal pendant? ”

In the hearts of these young people of the Fan tribe, whether it is to show bravery by slaughtering wild boars, or to show thoughtfulness by buying some jewelry, it is the right way to please the girl's heart, and it is also uneven in terms of difficulty. I heard from the adults who had hunted that those big wild boars had big heads and white fangs, and they were the most powerful, and they bit people one bite at a time. If you want to kill them, traditional bows, arrows, knives and spears will not work, and these wild boars have thick skin and have to use muskets. As for going to the city, it's a different kind of adventure, dealing with pickpockets, swindlers, cunning vendors, who will cheat you out of your money and sell you to work as a coolie on a ship in the blink of an eye.

However, the teenager who fell into the passion of love would not pay attention to this set, and Vali lay there and muttered to himself: "Let's give her a crystal pendant, I can already see that her own turquoise forehead pendant is a little old...... But the wild boar tooth is not bad, the last time I went back, I heard from the people in the village that there have been seven or eight years of not showing this kind of thing, I want to dig out so much that day, how brilliant......" He felt that he couldn't make up his mind, so he opened his eyes wide and began to flute again.

Saiwa couldn't bear to see him in such a daze, so he stabbed him in the stomach with his elbow, "Dumbfounded." That's it, what a thing, and I want to chase the girl - I know there are several people staring at Ah Hong, if you want to get her, don't take out your hand if you don't have ten or eight boar teeth - or you go to the sea to pick a red coral, there is no gift better than red coral......"

"Ahh Vali said blankly, turning his head to look at Sewa, his eyes were straight to the point, and he didn't take it as a joke at all. Saiwa knew immediately that something was wrong. "Don't mind, just kidding—I'm not going to go down to the sea to catch coral," he jumped up and tried to run away, but Vali shouted, and a carp jumped up, grabbed him by the foot, and dropped him to the ground. The two of them started a fight on the ground.

"Alright," Sewa pulled his leg out, "don't make a fuss." We are a big dry navy, and we can't just go to sea. ”

Vali sighed and lay heavily on the ground again.

Sewa lay beside him, gently stroking the little agate lion on his chest with his hand.

He was always so curious about what was out there, and everything around him meant something special to him. Whenever he let his mind wander, at that moment, valleys, streams, bays, cliffs, and forests were all at his feet, the size of wooden and stone chess pieces. It's a small closed world. Now that he has grown up, he must take a good look at how wide this sea really is; He had to take a good look at how big the world really was. No mountain can stop him, no sea can stop his voyage. At this moment, what he needs to think about is just where he will go.

The summer sun rises and swells over the vast expanse of rain clouds, and occasionally they swoop down, plunging the dense turquoise forest beneath the clouds into a damp and sultry steamer with vine leaves and branches.

Lin Yiqing and Qing Beile were shirtless and low in the reed-covered river, and the sun penetrated through the sparse reed leaves, making them both a little dizzy.

Wearing only a pair of long trousers converted from wide pants, they tried to bend down as much as possible, moving through waist-deep water without making a sound. Their target is a large black fish. The fish looked at them defiantly in the shallow water, wagged its tail, and swam into a deep reed. (To be continued......)
