Kang Yan on the dock could no longer see clearly, only a small black dot remained.

The autumn sun is somewhat weakly sprinkled on the sea. The ships were separated**, as fast as a galloping horse, the dragon flag on the ship was hunting and exploding in the wind, and the sea breeze was blowing in the face, with a strong smell of sea.

He Ruitian and the others returned to the cabin, leaving only me and Luo Rou in the bow. I watched the south approach, but it was always out of reach; Luo Rou stared in the direction of the sunrise, where her mother, my master, was.

I gently patted her weak shoulder: "Don't worry! We will be back soon! I promised you to go to see my wife together, and I always remember it! ”

Luo Rou leaned her head slightly against my chest, a trace of mist slowly appeared in her eyes, and tears wet her curved eyelashes.

"Go back to the cabin! It's cold, don't blow it! Holding Luo Rou's cold hand, I pulled her into the cabin in distress.

Wu Tianyue has rich experience in naval warfare, and one of the three people brought on board by An Boya was originally the general of the Annan Naval Division, this person is extremely familiar with the waterways along the coast of Annan, and with the close cooperation between the two of them, there is basically nothing to do on the sea. So I also stole my life, and stayed in the cabin all day listening to Amboya talk about Annan's situation.

This An Boya really named his name, Bo Gu is modern, elegant and elegant, chatting with him quite happily, many seemingly ordinary things, but he can always see some small details that others can't notice, and feel some common truths. There is a saying, Wen Jun's words are better than reading ten years! I feel that way now.

On this day, there was a slight rain on the sea. I asked people to clean up a few side dishes, a pot of tea, and invited Wu Tianyue, He Ruitian, An Boya and others to talk at the bow of the boat, and Luo Rou naturally couldn't be absent.

Although An Boya is weak, he is also a little arrogant, and said with a smile: "The general is so elegant, and the bow Hengcha listens to the rain, which is really interesting." ”

I shook my head: "There's nothing going on in the boat, it's so boring to watch the hourglass all day." "It's true that although I've learned a lot from chatting with Amboya, it's really boring to see half an inch of land except the sky and the sea all day.

Wu Tianyue said with a smile: "Fortunately, now is the season when autumn is high and the sea is not happy, if you change the style to the season of high waves and urgency, I am afraid everyone will not be so interested!" ”

He Ruitian nodded: "I heard that when the waves are urgent, people can't stand firm in the cabin, and the northern soldiers don't dare to eat at all when they board the ship!" ”

Luo Rou has lived in Hainan for several years, and she has long been accustomed to the sea, and when she heard He Ruitian say this, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "Oh, why is this?" ”

Wu Tianyue took a sip of tea: "Northerners grow up on horses, and they are heroes on horses and on the ground. But once they get to the sea, all the heroic indignation is thrown out of the clouds, and seasickness is probably the only thing they can do! The hull of the ship shook and vomited out, so I simply didn't eat it to avoid trouble! ”

Everyone laughed together, although Wu Tianyue said a little exaggerated, but most northerners will indeed suffer a lot when boarding the ship.

After laughing, Wu Tianyue said: "The southern ship and the northern Magu are like this, it's not that the northerners can't do it, it's just that everyone is in a different environment. ”

He Ruitian patted the table: "Yes, there are many fresh lakes in the plains in the north, so they have practiced handsome horse kung fu since ancient times." ”

Everyone talked a few words about the similarities and differences between the north and the south, the rain did not stop, but the sun in the north appeared in the drizzle.

"This hellish weather, it's raining but the sun is rising!" He Ruitian sold a sentence.

Wu Tianyue suddenly pointed into the distance: "That's where the Annan Navy Division was broken a few months ago!" ”

Everyone is looking for prestige, and it is impossible to leave traces of war in **, and there is a pool of clear water in the direction that Wu Tianyue pointed.

So, the topic was naturally led to the magnificent naval battle in Japan.

Wu Tianyue introduced us to the battle of the day with a little arrogance.

On that day, Wu Tianyue received information that the Annan Navy Division was going to invade China's coastal line in the near future. After carefully studying the charts, Wu Tianyue judged that the Annan sailors would definitely pass through here, so he ordered the sailors to rush here to ambush one step ahead of the enemy. The army was ambushed in the fog, and as soon as the Annam sailors arrived, they immediately launched a surprise attack. Won the battle, and the Annan sailors did not dare to appear on the sea from then on.

Of course, the battle process was also very intense, and it was not all smooth sailing, so I will not go into detail here.

I got up and walked to the side of the boat, poured the tea in my hand into the sea, and said loudly: "Soldiers, you are all heroes, you are all good, rest in peace, everyone! ”

Everyone also came to the bow of the ship and poured the tea into the sea.

This can be regarded as a memorial, although it is a little sloppy, but it is better to be sincere.

After sitting back down, I said, "I wonder how long we have before we reach our destination?" ”

Wu Tianyue said: "If you have a qiē shun lì, you can reach it in about five days." ”

I nodded and didn't speak.

An Boya said: "General Wu can only send us to the port of Tulun in the city of Champ, and there is still a three-day land trip from the port of Toulon to Indra Bura, the capital of the city. ”

He Ruitian said with some concern: "I don't know if I will meet Annan Sailor along the way!" With such a large fleet sailing, the people of Annam will not have heard nothing at all! ”

Indeed, we are now in the waters of Annam, and we will have to sail in the waters of Annam for several days, in case the Annam sailors also ambush us.

Wu Tianyue said with confidence: "Don't worry, I have already ordered someone to blockade Hai'an Port, if the Annan Navy Master does not grow wings, otherwise it will be impossible to sneak out and fight our ambush!" ”

When I heard the name Hai'an again, I watched Luorou by the Qionghai Sea for two years, and the place where I stayed was also called Hainan. Of course, this Hai'an is not the other Hai'an, but I still feel a little strange when I hear this name. But what makes me glad is that I don't need to watch Luo Rou across the sea, she is in front of me now, forever!

After chatting for a while, the rain still didn't stop, and although I was still unsatisfied, I still ordered everyone to go back to the cabin in consideration of everyone's physical relationship.

Five days later, we arrived at the port of Toulon on time.

Toulon Port is also known as the Manchu, it connects Hue in the north, Nha Trang in the south, and the Five Elements Mountains in the back, and there is the Son Tra Peninsula as a barrier in the northeast.

The army left the port for more than ten miles and then retracted its sails, and did not drive directly into the port for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, or even disaster. After some consideration, I decided to let Amboya enter the harbor on a cargo ship carrying troops, and after explaining the situation to the local defenders, the army entered the harbor.

An Boya also felt that it should be so, and readily agreed. Wu Tianyue immediately ordered a cargo ship to transfer all the soldiers on it to other ships, leaving only the migrant workers, and after picking up An Boya, he sailed to the port of Toulon.

More than two hours passed, and after the army had lunch on board, Amboya's cargo ship sailed back.

When she got on the boat, the first thing An Boya said was: "It's all said, they welcome us." ”

When I heard this, I immediately ordered: "Very well, in that case, the whole army will at once disembark and sail into the port of Toulon." ”

Soon the boat we were on was the first to dock. The people of Champa on the port had already been expelled, and only more than 300 Cham native soldiers lined up to greet them.

These Cham soldiers have curly hair and black skin, which is clearly different from our people and even the people of Annam.

"This is General Zheta, the guard of the port of Toulon!" Amboya brought a short, sturdy general in gray armor with a cross-body sword.

I clasped my fists and said, "I have long admired the prestige of the general!" In the next **, please advise the general! ”

Amboya turned to the general and said something completely inexplicable to me, and General Nazeta patted his chest as if to welcome me. An Boya introduced Luo Rou and the others to General Zheta, but because of the language barrier, he had to be our interpreter temporarily.

Afterwards, General Zheta took us to his official office. It is said to be an official office, but it is just a few large huts.

Vegetarian tea and pastries were already placed on the low wooden table.

After the guests were seated, Amboya said to me: "This tea was purchased from the merchants of your country who traveled to and from the sea, and it is extremely precious, and this general is usually reluctant to drink it, and only uses it to receive the most distinguished guests. ”

I hurriedly expressed my gratitude, and the translation by Amboya was with General Zheta.

When General Zheta heard Amboya's words, he seemed very pleased, and frequently motioned for me to taste it, and it seemed that Amboya magnified my thanks a lot, and thus made him very happy.

I raised my glass and took a sip, and said: "This tea is slightly astringent in the mouth, but there is a trace of coolness in the throat, which really reaches the heart and spleen. ”

An Boya translated truthfully, and General Zheta became more and more happy, and let out a long laugh from time to time.

Although the language was incomprehensible, there was An Boya interpreting on the side, and it was quite cheerful to chat with the general Zheta.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark, and the wharf, which had been busy all afternoon, finally quieted down, and the army went ashore with all the baggage, and He Ruitian chose a flat ground not far from the wharf and set up camp.

After staying on the rickety warship for more than ten days, although there was no big wind and waves, this group of sub-infantry soldiers was also tortured enough, no, the military tent had just been set up, and after a hasty lunch, all of them got into the military tent to sleep, and soon, the snoring sound spread throughout the entire military camp.

I also felt a little tired, so I hastily ended the banquet that Zheta welcomed, and left under the escort of Brother Niu.
