There was silence in the cabin. If we go all the way west, we can successfully land on the land of Ming Dynasty.
But if we still can't find land, or if we land in the land of Japan, Beiyuan, or even Jurchen, then the consequences will be disastrous.
How could a tired army with only a few thousand men survive in the enemy's territory?
But once outside Goryeo, there is a way to successfully return to the Ming Dynasty through diplomatic means.
"Now that things have become clear, there is no point in hesitating." Zhu Di was the one who spoke.
"He once heard Brother Bao'er say that in the past months, when his Ming army was chasing Bei Yuan in the desert, it was often impossible to find a way out. Sometimes there were storms, and the food, grass and baggage were often weak. At that time, as the commander-in-chief
, there is a reason to move forward courageously in one direction.”
"There is still a way to survive if you keep moving forward. If you don't hesitate in such a situation, you will not take the path of death."
"That's right." Zhu Su nodded. "If you hesitate, you'll get red. Then just cover your head and rush in."
"They have been experiencing storms for several months. No matter how terrible the storm is, they will never be too far from the land. Just go west and you will always find land."
"As for what will happen if Baqi reaches the enemy's territory, then the troops can come to block it and the water will come to cover it up."
"We have removed the benzoic acid and arrived outside the territory of Beiyuan." Zhu Di said jokingly: "Then the divine soldiers will descend from the sky, just in time to capture the Emperor of Beiyuan and achieve great success!"
"I think it's pretty good, Fourth Brother." Zhu Xi rolled his eyes. "The Emperor of Beiyuan is hiding in the desert. We can easily land in the middle of the desert from the sea, right?"
Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosi sang in harmony, and Zhu Su and Zhang He also laughed. Zhang He praised: "The three palaces are calm in the face of danger, and they have the style of virtuous kings. It's not that the last general has just been in chaos."
"The three brothers can talk and laugh here. Isn't it because General Zhang's golden beam that bridges the sea can maintain peace of mind?" Zhu Su said with a smile. "General Zhang, just do it. Even in
Landing in enemy territory is not the fault of the general."
"It is up to his three brothers to shoulder the responsibility for the general."
"Take orders." Zhang He knelt down on one knee, performed a military salute, and then went out to command the fleet.
Zhu Fang looked at Zhang He's leaving figure and started to get excited: "It would be great if we really landed outside Beiyuan."
"Those three brothers just want to show off their legs."
Zhu Su gave him a red look: "Second brother, let me stop. If the place where they landed is really not where Beiyuan is, they should lead their people to avoid the Yuan army and look for opportunities to return to the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
"There is Doctor Dai who came to the capital with them. He hopes that he will be an imperial doctor so that he can protect their parents from a long life. There are also civilian women who were rescued with great difficulty before. Can they be allowed to do so?
Just came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again..."
"Well..." Zhu Xi was speechless and muttered: "It's boring, it's really boring..."
Ignoring the inconspicuous second brother, Zhu Su turned to look at Zhu Di: "Fourth brother, do I understand the situation in Beiyuan? If I log in to Beiyuan, what can I do?"
Recalling the direction of the storm, Zhu Su thought that the most likely possibility was that he had moved to the north. This also coincided with Zhang He's judgment just now.
Combined with the map in my memory, the greatest possibility of facing the west is the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, or the Northland still occupied by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
"If they land in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they will most likely land in Jurchen or Nuerqian or other places..." Zhu Di frowned and thought. He has always been fond of military affairs, but he is more familiar with the distribution of forces in the Northern Yuan Dynasty than Zhu Su.
."These two tribes are all under orders from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and both are good at fighting. If we don't get entangled with them, it will be difficult for them to get relief."
"Sigh. He doesn't have much else to do. He can just take a step and watch when the time comes."
Zhu Su also sighed. Zhu Di was wrong. Without soldiers or baggage, even a clever woman can't make a meal without rice. How can she come up with any clever ideas?
If we really encounter danger, it will be time to fight again and again.
…
Fortunately, after April, the first month when the fleet was completely without water, they finally saw the stretch of land. Everyone was overjoyed, gathered up the remaining strength, and headed towards the land with the broken boat.
Drive away.
Zhang He, who was standing next to Zhu Su, had a serious look on his face. He was unwilling to interrupt the joyful atmosphere of the ship, so he quietly approached Zhu Su and whispered: "Dong Dong, after landing, you need to be careful."
"Looking at the shore from Yuanji, there is no human habitation at all... If not for the Ming Dynasty, there are often many villages along the coast. Come to think of it, this is a barbaric land."
"Yes." Zhu Su nodded solemnly.
If we land in enemy territory, the biggest test has actually just begun.
Looking around with a telescope, there were no artificial ports, so the fleet had to choose a shoal to land. More than ten large and small ships followed the wind and docked directly at the shoal. It was good to see that there was no human habitation on the beach.
I breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was no need to fight a landing battle. The beach had soft gravel, and the dilapidated ship was forced to dock and land, but it did not cause secondary damage.
But because the beach was chosen as the landing site, the ship temporarily lost its ability to enter the sea and was stranded there. At least before the arrival of a large-scale high tide, the ship could no longer actively sail into the sea.
Even if they were not stranded, looking at the damage of the ships, Zhu Su and his party would not dare to take the risk and take those ships again: looking at the condition of the ships, it would not be surprising if those ships fell apart directly on the sea!
In other words, they have no way out for the time being.
"Three palace masters, I would like to ask you how to proceed." Now that he had landed, Zhang He took the initiative to relinquish his command.
"The situation is unclear, we should send scouts first." Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Su and Zhu Ping, and then spoke first. Looking at the group of people in front of him, he hesitated: "Who of us has enough energy to spare, please bring some with you."
People, go and explore around first?"
"Let him take the people there," Chang Mao said. "I was almost bored on the boat in those days. I just wanted to go for a walk and get some fresh air!"
"The Duke's status is very important, and he has the great responsibility of guarding several palace masters. He cannot leave lightly. Why don't you go to the east." A voice sounded from behind. More and more Jinyi school captain badges came out. "Moreover, he is waiting for Jinyi Weijing.
He is good at concealment and disguise. If he encounters a thief, he will have a chance to escape."
"Yes, let Lieutenant Shao lead my king's royal guards." Zhu Su agreed. "The rest of the people will look around to see if there is fresh water. The large army will wait here for Lieutenant Shao.
Return."
"Captain Shao, it's best if you can find out what kind of boundary this place is, so they don't have to be so passive."
"No matter what, you should return before nightfall. Your own safety is the top priority."
"No." Shaobiao bowed and obeyed the order, and then led dozens of King Wu's guards, Zheng Di Meng, to go.
