Chapter 713: I accidentally showed off again

Not long after, the British warships also docked in the port. When fighting with Dutch warships, the British warships were also injured. More than a dozen sailors were killed in battle, and twenty or thirty sailors were injured. But overall, they were within an acceptable range.

Saiviara came down from the boat with a happy expression, as if she was happy as a lark, and she was almost dancing. She came to Zhang Zhun with agility. Her big blue eyes contained watery gratitude and said happily: "Brother General! Thank you!"

After saying that, he was about to pounce on him and give Zhang Zhun a passionate kiss.

This time, Zhang Zhun dodged quickly.

You kissed me once, and I want to do it again?

I'm not very familiar with you!

Seviara didn't expect that she would be lost. She was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "Brother General, I have no malicious intentions. I just like you too much! I never thought that among the Ming people, you are so young, so handsome, and so capable. You are my idol, you are my dream lover, and you are my prince charming."

Zhang Zhun frowned and said, "This is Ming Kingdom. Don't use your set for us. Any lover or prince charming has no market in our country. If you don't want to be burned to death by the fire like Bruno, you must abide by the rules here."

Seviara said disapprovingly: "I am not afraid! I am not Bruno, I will never be burned to death! What I pursue is excellent men, great love, and protected. Everyone has the right to pursue love! Bruno offended the dignity of the Inquisition!"

Almost instantly, Zhang Zhun made up his mind to ban Seviara and all the British sailors on Pi Island and not allow them to run around. Otherwise, they would definitely ruin the social atmosphere. What if they kiss people on the street?

Zhang Shenyan, Qiao Yunsheng and others are all very conservative old men. If they, the British pirates, do something, their board will probably hit them. What will you do if you have nothing to do?

After making up his mind, Zhang Zhun immediately said, "Seviara, you bring a few people to follow me, and I will give you instructions to stay in the camp. The Dutch will not chase here for the time being, you must stay here for a while."

Seviara waved to the back and said with a smile: "Brother General, I am very happy to obey your arrangements. I am willing to be your humble servant. Uncle Sean, Uncle Ferdinand, Uncle Gascoin, come with me."

The three old sailors followed her and walked forward with Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun came to the south of Pi Island, pointed to a huge open space and said, "You can live here and stay here. After you get used to it for a while, I will arrange a new residence for you. Your warships will be left to us for temporary storage. I want to find a hidden port to hide it temporarily."

Seviara looked at the three old sailors behind her, and all the three old sailors said there was no problem. They had been bumping in the sea for several months and really needed to go ashore to have a good rest.

Zhang Zhun continued: "What are your special requirements..."

Seviara hurriedly said, "There are some wounded and sick on my boat, and they need a doctor..."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "They have scurvy, just drink some lemon juice."

Seviara said with some confusion: "What is scurvy?"

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I saw those of you. They were sore and weak, swollen gums, loose teeth, bones and joints and muscles, blood seeping out from the corners of the eyes, under the skin, under the mucosa, etc. This is scurvy. Just drink lemon juice, orange juice, or fresh vegetables, and you can treat it. You can drink tea regularly."

"As for the injured people in the battle, I will arrange for the follower to the Junyan. The doctor you mentioned is the doctor. The follower to the Junyan means the military doctor. I will also arrange for someone to send you lemon juice and other things to you, and give you some tea."

Seviara asked curiously: "Brother General, it seems that you are good at scurvy this...? Can you really treat it?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said confidently: "Scurvy is not a big disease, it is just caused by lack of vitamin C. As long as vitamin C is supplemented in time, scurvy will be cured by itself. You don't need to worry at all."

Seviara asked humbly: "Vitamin c...what is that?"

Zhang Zhun subconsciously touched his nose. Did the Western powers at this time still know what vitamins were? It would be a bit troublesome to explain it. However, he was smart after all, and soon found a way to explain it and said in an orderly manner: "Do you understand vitamin C, abcd c? Our human body needs a lot of substances, one of which is called vitamins. Due to the different ingredients, there are dozens of vitamins. Scurvy is caused by the lack of C vitamins. Do you understand?"

Seviara nodded in a vague way.

In fact, the Western powers at this time did not separate vitamins. The emergence of vitamins was not until the 20th century. Western navigators were confused about controlling the occurrence of scurvy, which was also in the 18th century. It was precisely because of the solution to scurvy that Western warships arrived in large quantities. The sailing adventures around the world also began to move towards unknown corners, and finally completed the exploration of the entire earth.

Tea is very popular among Westerners because it can effectively prevent the occurrence of scurvy at certain times. Some people who like to drink tea basically do not experience scurvy in the ocean. When Zheng He went to the West, the main reason why the crew members basically did not have scurvy because they drank tea every day and often ate fresh bean sprouts.

However, in the 1730s, no one in the world except Zhang Zhun had a clear concept of scurvy and vitamins. Even if Zhang Zhun said that Seviara, Sean and others would not understand it very much. After a moment, Seviara said respectfully: "Brother General, how do you know this?"

Of course, Zhang Zhun couldn't say that I was a time traveler. I came here four hundred years later, so I knew. He casually said: "We all know about it in the Ming Dynasty."

Seviara said half-believingly: "Impossible! Many Ming people in the south don't know! They have never mentioned the word scurvy!"

You should know that the names of these ports belong to different countries and forces, and their relationships are very complicated. For example, the east and west sides of the Mediterranean are warned all year round. The trade between the two sides has been almost cut off. Even Sean himself has never been to all ports.

"You must have never been to the New World."

Seviara suddenly felt something and said quickly.

"New World? Are you talking about places like St. John, Maracaibo, Podovero, Melida, Santo Dominican, Havana, Jamaica, Villacros, Kaenne, Pernambo? Oh, those places are indeed far away."

Zhang Zhun’s ability to recite place names was extremely smooth. As a non-commissioned officer who often studied maps, it was really too simple to remember all the place names in the game.

"You... Brigadier General, you must have been to the New World! You must have been to!"

This time, the person who spoke was Shawn with his eyes shining.

The old sailor looked at Zhang Zhun with respect. Sean was indeed from the New World, and he had been there for at least three years. However, he felt that he was not as familiar with the ports of the New World as Zhang Zhun.

"without!"

Zhang Zhun denied lightly.

"Then how do you know so many place names in the New World?"

Saiviara asked reluctantly.

"I dreamed of it!"

Zhang Zhun answered with great righteousness.

Seviara looked back at Sean and said suspiciously: "Uncle Sean, do you believe it?"

Sean shook his head without hesitation.

The more Zhang Zhun denied it, the more they believed that Zhang Zhun had really been to the New World. For a Ming Chinese, he had been to the distant New World. Not to mention what he did in the New World, just for this extremely distant itinerary, it would be enough to make people respect him. Moreover, the most incredible thing is that Zhang Zhun looks so young, at most he is only twenty years old!

Seviara immediately followed and said enthusiastically: "Brother General, Brigadier General, I know you must be a very powerful person! Let me follow you and learn from you!"

Zhang Zhun said seriously: "Note, I have a wife."

Seviara said: "It doesn't matter, I can be your lover."

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation: "I don't want a lover like you."

Seviara had no intention of retreating at all, and asked reluctantly: "Okay, since you don't want me to be a lover, what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Zhun said word by word: "Hurry up and provide me with your cannon casting technology."

Seviara said with a smile: "Uncle Ferdinand was once a cannon casting craftsman, and he was responsible for maintaining the cannons on our warships."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Okay, you can settle down here first and recover your health. I will arrange for people to contact you for special contact with the food you need, as well as all kinds of supplies."

Seviara agreed.

Zhang Zhun straightened his face and said, "Don't go around without my orders. Your identities are kept secret here. There is my military base. If they have misunderstandings, it will cause you trouble."

Seviara hurriedly said, "What's the trouble?"

Zhang Zhun pointed at her eyebrows and said softly: "Bang!"

Seviara's body shook slightly.

Obviously, she remembered the power of Zhang Zhun's musket.

Sean came up and asked, "Brother General, where is this?"

Zhang Zhun asked someone to bring a chart and point out the approximate location of Pi Island on the map.

Unexpectedly, when Sean saw this chart, he immediately exaggeratedly: "Oh my God! Brigadier General, is this the chart you drew? Such a fine chart, each one is worth at least one thousand gold coins!"

Seviara and Ferdinand also immediately leaned over, their eyes as if they were seeing the vault, shining, and they couldn't wait to shout: "Really! Such a detailed chart! Each copy is worth at least one thousand gold coins!"

Zhang Zhun immediately noticed that he was showing off again by accident.

At that time, the ocean was in a turbulent era, and there were sailing explorers constantly exploring everywhere. They drew the places they had explored into charts, and then sold them to others to obtain benefits. There was a special organization responsible for collecting all charts and then splicing them together to form a more complete chart. One thing that each captain went out to sea must do when leaving the port is to prepare relevant charts. The more complete and detailed charts are, the more expensive the price, and the more gold coins it needs to be spent.

However, so far, there are still many places that have not been touched by explorers. Therefore, even the most complete charts have many blank spaces. For example, around Australia, the west of South America, the Arctic, the Antarctic and other places cannot be marked on the charts.

However, Zhang Zhun's chart marked so many places. When Sean and others looked at the map near their hometown, they realized that Zhang Zhun's chart was quite accurate. At least, the location in their hometown was accurate.

Seviara hurriedly took out his charts and compared them to each other. Sure enough, the parts in Europe are almost the same. From this, it is inferred that the other parts should be accurate. The charts used by Seviara are all spliced ​​together, and only a part is a piece of blank space. In front of Zhang Zhun's chart, it is simply too ugly.

"Brother General, you are so surprised! I can't express my respect for you!"

The old sailor Sean said respectfully.

"Just a chart."

Zhang Zhun said lightly.

"How much does this chart cost? We want to buy one!"

Saveala said quickly.

“Not selling!”

Zhang Zhun refused decisively.

"Ten thousand gold coins!"

Seviara immediately raised the price.

"Everyone says this is not a product!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

"Isn't it really not sold?"

Saveala said disappointedly.

Sean, Ferdinand, Gascoin and other veteran sailors were desperately looking at the map, as if they wanted to remember it firmly. What's rare is that Zhang Zhun did not mean to put away the chart.

"However, as long as we work together in a friendly manner, I can give you a few copies."

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

"Oh! Brigadier General, you are so good!"

Seviara was excited and wanted to pounce on her and kiss Zhang Zhun again.

Zhang Zhun naturally dodged with skill.

Sean said with admiration: "I really didn't expect that there was such a detailed chart in this world. I didn't expect that it was from the brigade general."
Chapter completed!
