Chapter 853: The Han Army's Banner Crossed East

On May 26, the eighth year of Tianwu, hundreds of galleons sailed slowly on the Great Eastern Ocean (Pacific Ocean).

Since leaving the port of Ulsan in March, the Qing naval fleet has been drifting on the sea for more than two months, heading east into the Little East Ocean and stepping into the Great East Ocean.

What Hong Chengchou did not expect was that on the first day of the Dongdu fleet's voyage, some soldiers began to have fever and swelling of their bodies, and some soldiers vomited and seasick.

There was nothing the Imperial Physicians who accompanied the ship but to watch as one soldier after another was thrown into the sea and became the unjust souls of the sea.

As the days passed, a physician finally figured out what the symptoms were.

Maybe it's because you eat too much salted fish!

Because he found that the regent Hong Chengchou, the king of Pingxi, Wu Sangui and other princes, including some big names such as Jialazhangjing, were all fine.

The diet of these big people usually eats salted fish, in addition to the portions, there are also vegetables, melons and fruits and other side dishes every day.

Through the comparison of diets, the imperial doctor selected a few sick soldiers, gave them some vegetables and fruits, and made experimental observations for a few days, and finally convinced his conclusion!

However, even if they figured out what was going on, they couldn't heal more people.

Therefore, the only vegetables and fruits on the ship have long been exhausted, and the remaining people can't last a few days a day.

On the vast sea, on the endless drift of the fleet, where to find melons, fruits and vegetables? The inventory is closely used by the big guys!

Hong Chengchou is also very worried, the fleet has not seen land for more than a month, and there is not even a pirate in this place where birds don't!

If you can't find land anymore, these tens of thousands of Han army banner soldiers will all have to go to the western sky!

In this harsh environment, the Qing fleet has only one principle, and that is the survival of the fittest.

In a period of more than a month, 50,000 Han soldiers and soldiers died of illness.

Fortunately, not long after, the fleet found several islands, on which some wild fruits grew scattered around, saving the lives of the Dongdu army.

However, the weather at sea was changeable, and from time to time there were several major storms.

Today, the originally clear sky suddenly changed and the waves swooped down one after another, causing the fleet to shake violently on the sea.

As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, and soon it became impossible to reach out and the waves became bigger and bigger, like a typhoon.......

The warship, which usually felt huge, looked so thin at this moment, the hulls creaked and rattled, and the thick masts kept swaying from side to side and wailed in the hurricane.

A silver light flashed in the sky, followed by a "click" explosion, and everyone was startled, this light seemed to split between them, on the black sea.

Hong Chengchou's face was fighting with this weather at this time, and his face was gloomy and dripping.

"Damn thief, Lao Tzu is unlucky at this time, and you still want to add fuel to my fire!"

Scolding and scolding, but after all, it can't solve the problem.

The raindrops began to drip more and more, and the dense lightning fell along with the raindrops, splitting on the sea, on the horizon, and on one warship after another.

The mast of the warship was like a candle lit from the beginning, burning faster and faster until the whole warship was in flames, and the people jumped off the ship without hesitation and scrambled to the other ship.

The darkness seemed to have the ability to devour, and the person who was still struggling in the water a second ago disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Some unlucky guys capsized in this storm and fell directly into the sea to feed Wang Ba.

A huge wave smashed over, and the battleship Regent that Hong Chengchou was riding almost capsized, frightening everyone's faces.

The huge waves kept turning, and the warships disintegrated in an instant and turned into broken planks one after another, and hundreds of warships could not see each other on the sea.

The soldiers of the Han Army Banner can only encourage themselves, persevere, and work hard, which is a kind of torment for everyone.

"Cheer up and put down the sails!"

Hong Chengchou kept giving orders, obviously unconvinced, and wanted to fight against this God.

When the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the West, the place they reached was more than thousands of miles, and the regent of his own generation had gone through vicissitudes of life, what scene had he not seen? Not as good as a eunuch?

The storm on the sea was still fierce, and the officers and men who had fallen into the water screamed and clung to the floating objects around them, and kept chanting words in their mouths, as if saying a spell could solve the difficulties in front of them.

However, the reality was cruel, one soldier after another, one warship after another, and disappeared in the shaking.

Until the next day, the dark clouds were blown away by the wind and the sun showed a kind smile, as if apologizing for the bad weather last night.

The sun was so warm on the deck, but it didn't make Hong Chengchou's mood any better.

Zuo Guang previously reported that according to statistics, in last night's storm, nearly one-third of the warships sank to the bottom of the sea or disappeared.

Of the original 50,000 horses, only about half remained.

In the early morning of the 28th, on the Great Eastern Ocean, the waves were rolling, and most of the exhausted soldiers of Dongdu had already fallen asleep.

The lookout on the battleship Pingxiwang, who was sailing at the front, came a very excited and slightly frightened exclamation.

"Land! Land! ”

Some of the crew thought that it was the lookout who was hallucinating, but Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who got up to pee, looked in the direction of his finger and sure enough, he saw a flat beach under the moonlight.

Wu Sangui ordered people to light the cannon and fire it into the sky, and everyone on the ship hugged each other and danced a cheerful hometown dance on the deck like a madman.

At the sound of the horn, all the crew members of the fleet were awakened, even Hong Chengchou was alarmed, and he walked out of the cabin and onto the deck in his nightgown.

Looking at the faintly narrow coastline in the distance, Hong Chengchou was pleasantly surprised: "It's really land!" ”

The scenery in front of him is dazzling, the sky and the clouds and the mountains and the water are simply beautiful, the haze in the heart is swept away by the beautiful scenery in front of him, Hong Chengchou stood on the deck and showed a rare smile.

At a time when the Eastern world has undergone tremendous changes, this historical moment means the rewriting of world history!

After dawn, Hong Chengchou ordered the soldiers to take off their loose coats, change into the uniforms of the Han military flag, and carry muskets and tiger squat cannons to the shore!

Hong Chengchou changed into the robe of the regent of the Qing Dynasty, he pressed the sword on his waist with his left hand, waved his right hand violently, and shouted: "Landing on the shore!" ”

One by one Galen ships dropped anchors at the near shore point, the Han army flag held the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Qing Dynasty, and took small boats to the shore, Hong Chengchou was the first to get off the boat and set foot on this mysterious land!

This is where they will live in the future, where they will stay, and it looks good for the time being.......

Hong Chengchou's fluctuating heart was very excited, and he believed that his dream was finally coming true!

Next, he will build a new dynasty in this mysterious land!
