Sails. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anyone who knows a little about sailing knows that Western-style soft sailing ships have a low utilization rate of frontal downwind, which is much lower than that of hard sails. However, soft sailboats do not have the constraints of the hard sail force area, so they can be made large to compensate for the lack of tailwind.

In order to further increase the speed downwind, a ball sail was added, which is a quadrangular sail perpendicular to the bow of the ship.

Because the sail has a large wind area and a low center of gravity, it is almost level with the bow, so it is the most obvious piece of sail to increase speed.

When the wind is full in the front, if the wind is too strong, you don't dare to open it full. Because the sail is so strong, sometimes it can even pull a wooden boat apart.

In order to pursue speed, some Western sailing ships in the Middle Ages also installed their sails lower than the bow of the ship, which lowered the center of gravity of the sailboat, which was fast and stable.

Although the wind is moderate on the sea now, the mainsail has not yet been raised, and the sails are directly opened, and the boatmen naturally have doubts.

What if......

However, Tang Yi wanted this effect, and the boatman had to do it.

Bang!!

As soon as the buckle of the sail rope was opened, the bow of the ship slammed open, which shook people's ears numbly.

Before everyone could react, they felt that the bow of the ship suddenly slammed down, like a horse out of the boundary, and shot out directly.

Thanks to this small boat, if it is a large ship, this is the only one, not to mention the scattering, the sail rope and mast must be broken.

Bang Dang!

As expected, the unprepared Angry Qing Wang was unstable and carried to the ground, and Wang Anshi was so bad that his body hurt.

However, Wang Jiefu no longer had the heart to compete with Tang Yi at this time, and his mind was full of one thought:

"How is it so fast!?"

Also shocked on the ship were Cao Tong and others. Including Qi Xuefeng, he was also speechless in shock at this time.

"This speed ......"

Tang Yi glanced at Qi Xuefeng proudly, "It can be faster!" ”

With that, the boatman took the order, and hoisted the mainmast sail, the triangular sail, anyway, as long as it was a piece of cloth, it was all flattened, and the speed of the ship was raised a large section when it boarded, reaching the ultimate speed.

Precisely, the ship is not yet a soft sailing ship in the strict sense of the word. Because Tang Yi didn't know how to do it, in order to seek stability, the shipwrights still used hard sails for the main mast, but on the auxiliary mast and before and after, they added the triangular sails envisioned by Tang Yi.

Therefore, not only the hull is not like the four, but the sail is also the four dislikes, which is a combination of hard sail and soft sail.

However, what Cheng thinks, even Tang Yi himself doesn't know, in fact, the most reasonable combination of sailing power in later generations has developed to modern times, which is the combination of hard sail and soft sail. It has both the handling of a hard sailboat and the wind area and speed of a soft sailboat.

Only now this experimental ship, judging from the units of later generations, the speed has reached about ten knots. Converted into the Great Song Dynasty, it is about more than 70 miles per hour.

This speed is already very fast, twice as fast as Fu Fufu.

Of course, this is only normal speed, and if the wind and sea conditions are right, for example, it can be almost twice as fast.

Fast and furious, both ancient and modern, men have an almost paranoid fanaticism about speed.

In addition to the land galloping horse, the only time in this world to experience the ultimate speed is now. At this time, the ship was steady, like an arrow, rushing through the sea.

Everyone gathered at the bow of the ship, the flying ship under their feet broke the waves, the sea breeze in front of them swept by, and a few gulls and birds flew one by one, not dispersed for a long time.

This kind of feeling is by no means shared by ordinary people.

The Cheng brothers, who have always been inconspicuous, are squeezed into the front row at this time. Cheng Hao sighed: "Is this the sharp weapon that Tang Shi asked Suo Sihai to ask for?" ”

Tang Yi scolded with a smile: "What, isn't it profitable enough?" ”

"Enough...... Enough! Cheng Hao's face was full of joy. With this flying ship, it is also easy to sail through the four seas. If only it could prove that the world is round! ”

Cheng Yi also answered: "Wang Zehai will go to sea this time, and it is necessary for him to sail all the way to the east to cross the world." If it can really be corroborated by what Earth Yuanzhi said, then my brother will be sure of the task assigned by Master Tang. ”

Tang Yi shook his head with a smile, "Think beautifully!" Wang Zehai will not sail through the four seas. ”

"Why?" The second journey is in a hurry.

"The theory of the circle of the earth is very important, how can Wang Zehai ......"

Tang Yi said: "Zehai's first voyage is only for safety, not for full success." ”

"But ......"

"Nothing!" Tang Yi has no doubts.

He understands Ercheng's thoughts, but he can't rush them.

"How?" But it was Qi Xuefeng who was puzzled. "What's the doorway here?"

Tang Yi explained: "This time, I just want Wang Zehai to go east along the trade winds, and then to the extreme south, and return with coastal winds, and I don't plan to let him take risks." ”

"Why?"

"If it is really as you and I expected, the world is round, then if you go eastward, it should be the realm of great food, (at that time, whether it was Europe or West Asia, the Chinese people called it great food.) It's dangerous. ”

Qi Xuefeng nodded, still puzzled in his heart, why did the two little brothers of Ercheng want to prove that the world is round?

"You don't go to sea, why are you so concerned?"

Don't look at Cheng Yi is much younger than Qi Xuefeng, but he is a Jinshi of the 28th Classic, so he is naturally arrogant. Yang Yang said complacently: "Going to sea is not important to us, but the result of going to sea is important to us!" ”

"Oh?"

"Don't listen to him show off!" Tang Yi scolded playfully.

Ercheng can't change it in this life, I remember when I first entered Guanlan, it was this underbeaten, and now I still my tail from time to time.

Tang Yi personally explained to Qi Xuefeng.

"You should know my heart, and you must integrate the theory of exhaustion into Confucianism and Taoism."

"I see." Qi Xuefeng is instantaneous. "You're going to crack a hole with the world's most circle!?"

"Yes!" Tang Yi nodded solemnly.

There are no outsiders on this ship, so they are not afraid of leaking anything.

He asked Ercheng to change to Confucianism, and it was so easy to find out how easy it was to rub this thinking, which was completely contrary to Confucianism. Only by speaking with facts and slapping iron-clad facts on the faces of those corrupt people can it be possible to open a gap.

Qi Xuefeng pondered for a long time, "In that case, 'the world is round' is particularly important to Zihao!" ”

He and Tang Yi have the same ideas, so they naturally believe in his words.

......

It's a pity that Qi Xuefeng forgot, and Tang Yi also forgot, there is another character on this ship who is not in the same group as them.

"You want to speak?" The voice of the Angry Green King sounded behind Tang Yi.

Tang Yi was stunned, turned his head to look, and then remembered that Wang Anshi was on the boat.

"Why, Jiefu doesn't agree?"

Wang Anshi shook his head, "Anyone can do it, even if you don't agree, but Anshi doesn't object." ”

"Besides, listening to your words is not a study of corruption based on old principles, but it is very consistent with my philosophy, which can be corroborated."

looked up at Tang Yi, "What, if you have the heart, would you like to listen to my lecture?" ”

......

Ahh

Tang Yi almost took a mouthful of old phlegm on his face.

This product is really climbing along the pole, why did Lao Tzu come to you only to prove it? You want to take me in? This is also enough.

I forgot that Wang Anshi also has a heart to be a saint. The so-called new learning is really a bit related to Tang Yi's quest.

As I said before, the Northern Song Dynasty was also an era of "a hundred schools of thought contending".

Belch......

Well, it is a hundred schools of thought within Confucianism, and the great Confucians who have some ability want to reinterpret the way of Confucius and Mencius and establish a new Confucian order.

In this, Ercheng and Zhou Dunyi succeeded, and changed Confucianism to be even more fucked.

Wang Anshi was unsuccessful and was trampled on by Ercheng.

To put it simply, since the revival of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, it has generally developed in two directions:

One is the study of evidence; The other is the study of righteousness.

As the name suggests, the former is that the ancestors cannot be abolished, everything is the good of the ancestors, and everything must be according to the ancestors.

The latter is opened by the modern scriptures. Today's literature and classics pay attention to "small words and great meanings", and pay more attention to expounding Confucianism from the perspective of ideology and theory.

It sounds like innovation and reason, and it seems to be quite like that.

It is a pity that although it carried out the study of righteousness and reason, because it likes to make arguments in the name of heaven, it finally became a theology. Vulgar preaching has replaced philosophical argumentation, and a strong theological atmosphere has stifled the study of righteousness.

Unfortunately, Wang Anshi is a representative of Xinxue, that is, the study of righteousness and reason.

In Tang Yi's words, this is to fool people in the name of God, especially the magic stick.

On the surface, Xinxue and Tang Yi's quest are the same thing, but there is a difference of 108,000 miles in the mainland.

What's more, what's even more dramatic is that Cheng Yi, who is now standing here, later confronted the angry Qingwang head-on and said bluntly: "Jiefu's learning is mostly fragmented." ”

Wang Anshi still wants to incorporate Tang Yi and Ercheng?

Beautiful you!

Tang Yi really couldn't do anything about this lovely Wang Anshi, and he looked helpless.

"The evidence is still forgotten. However, one day you have to figure it out and want to give me as evidence, you can come to me and let's talk. ”

“......”

As a result, the king god was ignored again.

Tang Yi turned his head and continued to chat with Qi Xuefeng.

"I won't hide it from you, the Great Song Dynasty is about to reform, and usurping Confucianism is an extremely important part."

Therefore, it is particularly important that the world is round. It's just that Wang Zehai, you have also seen that although he has been with me for a few years, he is still a young man in the end, and he is a little stunned. ”

"Let him go so far on his first voyage, he is really not moved, let's talk about it after a few years of training!"

......

"You want to innovate!?"

Yes, Wang Anshi couldn't stay stunned again.

Perhaps, this is the cuteness of this person, Tang Yi doesn't want to see him, he is not angry yet, and he wants to get involved when he encounters a distracting topic.

As soon as he interjected again, Tang Yi was not calm this time, Wang Dashen's lethality in reform was much greater than that of opposites.

"Stop, stop! If you don't hear anything, don't mix it up! ”

"You!"

Let Tang Yi continue to scold, the clay man still has three points of anger, let alone Wang Anshi?

"A mad prince who can't sit and study, can still speak of politics, why can't An Shi be mixed?"

Your uncle!

Tang Yixin said, are you finished? That's all there is to it, right? Lao Tzu almost won the top prize, okay?

"Kuroko, get him to the stern of the boat!"

"Derre!"

Kuroko smiled and stepped forward to stretch out his hand, but he didn't need to be strong. To be honest, this sloppy official is quite funny, at least there are few people in this world who can make Da Lang so deflated.

Wang Anshi's small body definitely couldn't withstand the sunspots, so he had to be obediently taken away. However, if this is the case, he will not be a bad person.

Isn't it not for me to mix? Okay, let's come by ourselves, no worse than you mad king!

After going back, the angry Qingwang didn't sleep all night, worked hard to write, did his best to write a song of thousands of words, and gave it a very domineering name - "Shangguan's Family Words and Affairs".

If Tang Yi knew that because of his own run, Wang Anshi's book of 10,000 words came out a year early, he would have to vomit blood.

......

――――――

Of course, these are later words.

At this time, Wang Anshi was missing on the foredeck, and it was immediately much easier. After everyone blew the wind for a while, Qi Xuefeng began to study Tang Yi's new sail again, and the others sat together again, playing mahjong and eating tea.

Although he guards the treasure land of Huishan in Beijing, his heart is not quiet, and he is naturally not idle. At this time, the boat wood is faintly fragrant, the blue sea is a partner, and there are friends who know each other for the play, which is the real leisure, the real tranquility.

At noon, the boat stopped at sea, and everyone hooked the sea fishing, and the fishing was done, so comfortable.

Tang Yi went crazy, taking advantage of Dong Xiqin's absence on the deck, he took off only a pair of shirts in three or two, and jumped into the sea with a plop.

The autumn water is slightly cool, but it is not uncomfortable, splashing and swimming.

Everyone saw that their eyes were hot and they wanted to go into the water, but because there were still Fukang, Xiao Qiaoge and others on the boat, they were not presumptuous, so they had to scold Tang Yi on the boat, scolding him for being a madman, and thinking about it was a play.

The three oldest people on the boat, Cao Tong, Pan Feng, and Qi Xuefeng, were quiet, standing quietly, watching quietly, watching a group of young people laughing and playing, and watching Tang Yi swim into the sea, comfortable and confused.

"It's nice to be young......"

Pan Feng couldn't help but sigh, very envious.

Cao Tong said with a smile: "The country is not too old. ”

"Hey!" Pan Feng laughed and agreed. "Speaking of which, we really don't feel old."

"At least when I was in Jingzhong, I felt that I was younger than Da Lang."

"This guy is heavier than me, and looks older than me!"

"yes!" Cao Tong also sighed. "It's not easy."

Qi Xuefeng looked at the two of them in surprise, in fact, he only felt that Tang Yi was thinking out of his mind before, and he and Uncle Cao Guo and Pan Guowei were only in business and interests. Now, it seems, is not.

Don't look at Pan Feng's nearly fifty years old, Cao Tong is also a little older than himself, nearly forty years old, but he and Tang Yi are real brothers.

Otherwise, with their identity, they can't express such feelings.

At this time, everyone on the ship did not have any views on knighthood, the difference between high and low, Qi Xuefeng naturally asked.

"Zihao is not easy, it comes from the expectations of Master Fan and His Majesty?"

Cao Yan glanced at Qi Xuefeng, "Neither." ”

"No one expects anything from him, and no one asks him for more."

"What's that?" Qi Xuefeng was puzzled. "It's not easy to get rich?"

"It's not easy to get rich? Ha! Pan Feng laughed and glanced at Uncle Cao.

"Do you know how much money he has? It's not easy to make money? If Tang Zihao is tired of money, then there will only be poor ghosts left in the world! ”

"Uh......" Qi Xuefeng was at a loss.

He knew that Tang Yi was rich, but he really didn't know how rich he was.

It's normal to think about it, if it's not someone who knows, I'm afraid no one can know how big Tang Yi's wealth is, right?

Qi Xuefeng was still puzzled, but it was Cao Tong who looked at Tang Yi's figure and said leisurely:

"It's not easy for him, you can't understand the ......"

"The world only says that Tang is crazy, crazy and prodigy, and crazy people are casual. But I don't know that under his crazy skin, what is pretended is the whole world! ”

......
