Nowadays, there are almost no people except businessmen who can move around. The population problem is a major issue restricting Yang Yuanliang's development. Hainan, Dawan, and Indonesia are barren lands, and the people don't want to go.

"Let's go build a brick kiln factory and a wharf!" Yang Yuanliang decided to get attention, thinking that when the doctors were ready, they could take the workers out to sea.

Yang Yuanliang decided to do this with a three-month alternative strategy. It is better to let the workers go home in batches for a month, and then go home in more batches. After three months on the island, it is best to go home and rest for nine months.

"Meng Dazhuang! You are the navigator of this voyage! Now give me a longitude and latitude test!" When Yang Yuanliang finished speaking in class, the compass named Meng Dazhuang took out a sundial-like compass!

"Today is August 3," he said, "and we can derive ...... based on the length of the sun's shadow at noon," Meng Dazhuang dictated the formula for calculating latitude and longitude. There are errors in this testing method, but not by much.

Yang Yuanliang has a complete map, so there is data on Yang Yuanliang's latitude and longitude all over the country, plus auxiliary equipment such as telescopes, you can't find Indonesia.

In fact, Intarie was discovered long ago by the big food merchants in this era, and the big food merchants of the Han Dynasty and the Central Plains did not want to bring the fleet to the barren places of Indioni or what other purpose they had.

Yang Yuanliang's fleet was not doing business, but planting land for the Great People. So Yang Yuanliang's fleet carried artillery, explosives, food, and all kinds of weapons.

The largest vessel of the Da Chen Dynasty could carry 300 people.

Yang Yuanliang now directly replaces copper coins with silver coins, and then melts the copper coins into minted cannons. It seems like a stupid and helpless move. Due to the limitations of mining technology, without this method, there would be no copper in the artillery.

Yang Yuanliang now owes tens of millions of dollars in foreign debt. At the end of the year, I am afraid that creditors will come to collect the debt. Yang Yuanliang also touched the cold cannon and said, "This thing has accumulated money." I don't know if this battle will be won. I'm afraid those kids will hesitate......"

Meng Dazhuang, accompanied by Uncle Liu Hai, led the fleet to Indonesia. The sailing boats of this era were quite good. They can sail with the wind. As long as they don't encounter the first gusts of wind, the boat can always move forward.

Report to Mencius's Political Committee! Several large ships of 200 men were found behind!" Meng Dazhuang heard the news from the watchtower and shouted: "How many ships are there? You can count them for me!"

"One, two, three...... Among them, 8 people are 200 people, and 5 people are 100 people. There are thirteen of them! Meng Dazhuang heard the exact news from the watchtower, and resolutely waved his hand to let the ship pull out the cannon. He himself climbed the mast and looked at the ship with binoculars.

"Mr. Zhang, Yang Yuanliang's fleet is ahead, and those little black dots are in front!" The people of the southern country were still secretly happy, because Yang Yuanliang's ship was not as fast as theirs.

Yang Yuanliang's ship sacrificed part of its speed in order to sail safely. In addition, Yang Yuanliang wanted to build a big ship, but the dock did not build it for him. Yang Yuanliang's ship was safer than the big ships, had a faster draft, and could be loaded with artillery fire.

Meng Dazhuang saw clearly through the telescope. The decks of these ships can be filled with armored soldiers. Although there was no Guo'a flag to show his identity, Meng Dazhuang also knew that he had been robbed.

Meng Dazhuang immediately ordered all the ships to stop, put down a circular array, and then let out the muzzles. At this time, the workers on the ship did not work.

"Mr. Meng has encountered pirates, you want to escape! We still have a few wooden knives here. What do you stop for?

"Master Meng still has a long way to go. We must be able to sail far away!"

"Who's going to save me? I want to go home!"

Meng Dazhuang saw that the boat was crowded with people, and he had no confidence. He slapped a cannon with his hand and shouted to the crowd, "Do you know what this is?"

Everyone shook their heads. Several field survivors trained by Meng Dazhuang and Yang Yuanliang knew about the cannon. These workers don't know at all.

Meng Dazhuang sneered: "My master is a god who has been incarnated. This is the fire he invited. Don't hit your eyes in the future. ”

Meng Dazhuang's statement is also reasonable. Since Yang Yuanliang worshiped the Buddha, Yang Yuanliang is the incarnation of the star of Wenqu, which has spread among the people and is accepted by the world.

But artillery is also a kind of bronze, and these people's hearts are a little steady, but the fear is still there, and now you can almost see a matchbox-sized Southern fruit battleship.

The water resources sector in the south is very strong, and the land area of the south is much larger than that of Dali. Almost all of Vietnam and Laos are territories of the southern country.

There is also a heavy crossbow on the Nankoku ship, with a range of about 500 meters. It emitted strong oil and gas, which was something that Yang Yuanliang burned to death in the cold of the north.

Yang Yuanliang's cannon is a solid bronze cannon with a front charge and a cannon list. Due to Yang Yuanliang's relationship and the standardization of gunpowder, they were fixed on rice paper according to kilograms, and the packaging was torn open when used.

The cannon list is also a standardized pig iron egg. They were placed in a bronze grab with an entrance diameter of 150 mm. After testing, the maximum Acheng is 1500 meters, the maximum lethality is about 800 meters, and the positive and negative correction deviation is not more than 50 meters.

The southern ships stopped and dispersed. At that time, the permanent general of the team was very happy, and he said: "Don't wreck the ship for me in the future." There's a lot of value in it. If he breaks the boat, no one can eat and walk!"

The big ships in the south are all wooden ships. Meng Dazhuang was inexperienced in naval warfare. All of his experience comes from Yang Yuanliang's teaching. He saw the enemy ships approaching him and calculated the distance with his abacus.

"The artillery soldiers are ready to fight in front!" When Meng Dazhuang saw the enemy's ships entering Dacheng, he decisively ordered the artillery soldiers to open fire, and a fiery snake erupted from the muzzle of the gun, making a deafening sound.

"Oh my God, is this really a fire?"

"God bless you!"

"Bless my family safely!"

The workers of a ship kowtowed to the cannon on their knees. The southern country on the other side didn't know what was going on. After hearing the thunder in the sky, he saw waves churning beside the boat.

At this time, Meng Dazhuang's hands swung quickly on the abacus, and then he ordered: "The first one has fallen three times, two degrees to the east, and the second ship has risen to the west twice one and a half degrees......"

Five ships and ten cannons, after adjusting the angle, the fire snake erupted. After three rounds of running attacks, Meng Dazhuang believed that the actual combat ability of the artillery soldiers was not good. He immediately asked the sailors to set sail and prepare to maneuver at a distance.

After setting sail, Yang Yuanliang's ship sailed at sea. Meng Dazhuang and the captain of each ship observed the enemy through a telescope. "They're still chasing us at full speed?"

After Meng Dazhuang saw the situation through the binoculars, he ordered the captain to move forward at high speed. After sailing for half an hour, Meng Dazhuang found that there was no trace of the boat behind him.

In fact, it was not the ships of the southern kingdom chasing Meng Dazhuang, but because their ships did not sink immediately after the leak of the cannon and the sails were still fluttering in the wind.

Most of the soldiers in the south eat fish. Only a few people were lying on the Sampan River and were rescued by the big food merchants in the back. Because the big ship was small, two of them were lucky not to sink. This news lasted less than two months, but it was only half a month after it arrived in the southern country.

Nanguo shocked the whole country, but Nanguo never suffered any losses. Even in the battles with the Da Chen naval division, the ships of the southern country set sail in five or five years. After encountering Yang Yuanliang, the bow and arrow were blown and sunk, and then sent out.
