Chapter 71 The first experience of sailing

It was a sunny morning, and a huge fleet of ships began sailing from Youzhou.

The vanguard had 10,000 people, with enough musketeers, crossbow soldiers, and a few hand artillery soldiers to attack. The leaders were Song Qian and Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen studied under Xun Yu for a while, and asked Cheng Yu for advice many times. Combined with some Guo Jia's theories, he finally became a second-rate strategist.

Zhao Zhen follows the kingly way, while Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai follow the ghostly way, so Zhao Zhen can ask for advice like Cheng Yu, who is also the kingly way, but he will not learn too much about the ghostly way of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

Not long after Zhao Zhen and Song Qian set off, about the next day, a unit of 30,000 people began to set off. The leaders were Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai, and Hua Xiong and Gongsun Zan went on the battle together as deputy generals.

Gongsun Zan has slowly shown his loyalty to Liu Ming, so he has the qualifications to start joining in foreign warfare, rather than being a guard and guarding in an unimportant place for the rest of his life.

It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Du was also transferred to Anding County as the prefect. Gongsun Yue, as the guardian general, guarded Yanmen, guarded Youbeiping, Wangmen guarded Liaozhou, Tian Kai guarded Jincheng, and Yan Gang guarded the plains... The members of Gongsun Yi's tribe and retainers were arranged to guard in more important places, and Liu Ming of the Gongsun family was also considered to be the most benevolent and righteous.

In fact, everything is the data reflected by the system. In fact, the loyalty value of the Gongsun Zan clan is already above 78, so Liu Ming began to relax his vigilance against the Gongsun family. The facts proved that this is very useful. After the Gongsun family acquired a new position, their loyalty increased by 5-12 points.

Liu Ming's departure naturally could not hide the spies from other forces. However, at present, everyone only had the ability to sail near the sea, so even if they knew that Liu Ming sent a large army to sea, other forces could only be discouraged from the issue of long-distance navigation.

The winds have been very good these days, both big and small. Most of the time, it is mainly cloudy, occasionally cloudy for half a day and then continues to clear up. This is very suitable for sailing. It takes about two days to take a navigation and the sea boat will arrive at Jeju Island, which is the place temporarily appointed as Zhongji Island.

The expedition team had already prepared supplies here one step earlier. It took more than ten days from sending a letter to now. It was enough for the expedition team to rest and set sail again. In fact, they were the scout troops that went on this expedition, specifically for early warning and opening the way for the army.

According to Liu Ming's request, Jeju Island also sent 500 soldiers to live here with their families. Their task was to build a simple wharf in the shortest time. Then, a group of soldiers would be replaced every year and come here to guard for a year. After all, the family would not be too lonely here.

"Is this Jeju Island?" After getting off the boat, Song Qian, who was half dead, whispered in a low voice.

"Sir, aren't you used to the days on the boat?" Zhao Zhen supported him with a lot of energy.

"I was born in the Central Plains, and there are not many places to use boats there. To be honest, even if I sail in the Yellow River, I'm afraid I will be seasick, let alone such sea boats." Song Qian said ashamed.

"Everyone is from the north, which is not surprising. When I was young, I often went south to do business and often took boats in the south, so I was still used to it. To be honest, if it weren't for the sunny weather recently, I felt that it was similar to when I was on a boat in the south, so I was afraid I wouldn't be much better. I often heard those old crew members say that sailing in strong winds and rains, the bumps were a hundred times better than now." Zhao Zhen said seriously.

"Now this will cost me half my life... If it's a hundred times more bumpy, I'm probably going to die!" Song Qian said seriously.

"It's safe. The lord obviously knows this, so the military doctor sent here has prepared a lot of medicinal materials for seasickness. He had also asked the expedition team to stock up on Jeju Island, which is probably enough for us to go back and forth." Zhao Zhen looked at the wooden warehouse not far away.

"Give me an order to rest on the spot for two days, wait for the arrival of the main force before setting off!" Song Qian nodded and gave Zhao Zhen a difficult order.

Two days later, when the main force arrived, the cultivation of the vanguard had been completed. Most of the seasick soldiers had recovered their spirits, and then boarded the sea boat with strong fear and headed towards Kyushu Island.

At the same time, the main force began to land on Jeju Island. Like Song Qian, these northerners could not stand the bumps of the sea, and after getting off the ship, they were almost half their lives left.

"I would rather fight to death with tens of thousands of enemy troops on land than to suffer such torture again!" Gongsun Zan suddenly felt that he was wrong in his loyalty this time.

When others show loyalty, it is a small price to spend in exchange for the greatest profit. But I don’t know how much I get this time, I only know that I am completely expressing my loyalty with my life.

"I'm the same, but since we have reached this point, we have no choice... rest for two days and then continue to set off!" Huang Zhong was in a rare state of good spirits.

Perhaps because of his cultivation of the relationship between the two, Huang Zhong's ability to withstand has become much stronger. Even Xi Zhicai's face was just a bit ugly. Gongsun Zan's study time was too short, so there was still some problem.

"This is a good place for vacation, with clear water and blue sky, as if it was back between heaven and earth." Xi Zhicai looked around rarely, and then sighed.

"I heard that the lord plans to develop this place and build a tourist resort. On the beach that is most suitable for sightseeing, build hundreds of vacation houses of all sizes. If Mr. Xi is interested, he can buy one at that time." The leader of the Explorer Army stepped forward and smiled.

"Sure, certain!" Xi Zhicai nodded and responded.

There is actually nothing fun about Jeju Island, it’s just a deserted island. However, it’s rare that there are a lot of fruits and seafood here, and a decent meal is OK.

"What is this?" Gongsun Zan pointed to the soup pot and the vegetable bowl and asked.

"The soup pot is kelp, barley, ribs, soup. As for the crabs in the sea, it is not the most plump time, but I only eat it fresh. This recipe was delivered from the Liu Chamber of Commerce. We guys who are asking for the sea will be destined to deal with them in the future. Fortunately, these things are really good." The captain of the Explorer's Unit said with a smile.

Gongsun Zan is not particularly unfamiliar with these two things.

The former is available at the beach, but it is all things that fishermen use to feed pigs, or weeds in the sea. The latter is so terrible that it will change color even after being cooked. Other colors are fine, but they are red. You should know that red things often represent poison.

The main reason for tomatoes to be regarded as a poisonous thing was its redness. Not to mention that the bright red juice was flowing out with one knife. The bystanders were afraid of watching it, so how could they dare to eat it?

The explorers knew their concerns, so they picked them up and ate them first.

Seeing that he was eating very deliciously, or was really attracted by the taste of these two things, everyone began to learn to eat it. Basically, after taking the first bite, they couldn't stop.

There are no eight crabs these days, so I can only eat them in the simplest and most rude way.

But to be exaggerated, it should be that guy Hua Xiong. At first, this guy ate the crab shell directly, and then vomited and cursed: "The meat is not bad, but why is it so hard?"

Then he knew that the shell could not be eaten, and his face turned red instantly. Then he lowered his head and bitched the crab shell into pieces, sucking out the crab meat inside to eat. Listening to the "crunching" sound of the crab shell shattering, I don't know why the expedition captain felt a sour teeth.

We couldn't drink alcohol in the army, so we drank the juice from Jeju Island fruits. After eating and drinking, everyone returned to their tents and slept with a sweet sleep. The next day, we felt refreshed and recalled last night's experience, and suddenly I felt that Xi Zhicai's words made some sense, and it was good to come here for vacation during the rest.
