Chapter 245: Unexpected Joy

During the Tang Dynasty, it was called Kyushu. Since the Song Dynasty, Qizhouyang is the place that must pass through from Quanzhou to foreign countries, and is an important section of the Maritime Silk Road, so there are seven islands in this place and get its name.

"Your Highness, there are subordinates in front of you, right?" After entering the strait, the ship turned southeast and raised its sails and sailed down the wind, at which point Zheng Yong pleaded.

"Why?" Zhao Hao was a little puzzled, he saw that this section of the sea was very calm, and there was nothing special, but he didn't know why he took the initiative to ask for pilotage.

"Your Highness doesn't know that these seven continents seem to be calm, but in fact, there are many undercurrents, and they are known for their danger. Since ancient times, there are clouds in the boat: go to the seven continents and be afraid of Kunlun. Zheng Yong said with a serious face.

"Your Highness, what Commander Zheng said is that there are countless shipwrecks in this sea area, and we must avoid them far away when patrolling the sea." Zhang Hao, the captain of the Warrior, interjected.

"Zheng Yong, are you okay?" After hearing this, Zhao Yu turned to Zheng Yongzheng and asked.

"Your Highness, there are many fish in the waters of Qizhou Ocean, and we Tanren will fish here every year, resting on the island to avoid the wind, so we are very familiar with the sea conditions!" Zheng Yong replied.

"Okay, Zheng Yong will temporarily replace the Warrior Boat Master." Zhao Yu thought about it and agreed, "Summoning the whole army, change the formation, change the arrow into a single column, open the distance, take the Warrior as the vanguard ship, and break the ship!" ”

"Your Highness, isn't this okay?" Everyone was stunned when they heard it, where is there a reason to let the handsome ship serve as the pioneer ship.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yu glared back at them and said.

"Your Highness is a daughter, and the pioneer ship is the most dangerous because it is the first to meet the enemy, please take back your life!" Zhang Hao said.

"The life of this king is life, your life is not life, or the life of those sailors is not life? No one's life is precious when they go into battle, give the order! Zhao Yu stretched out his chubby finger and pointed at a few people and said, he wanted to point at their heads and say, but the small man was on his waist and eyes.

"......" A few people listened, His Royal Highness's words made people's hearts warm, and they were also uplifted when they listened to it, but who dared to give an order!

"If you don't obey the order, Ni Liang, behead this person on the spot, and Wang Meng will take over as the captain!" Zhao Hao looked at the group of people staring at each other and didn't speak, pointed at Zhang Hao and said loudly.

"Do as the king commands!" Ni Liang doesn't care who you are, as long as His Royal Highness orders it, he will dare to go up and cut two knives, and he will go to people after pulling out the knife.

"Obey the commander's order, raise the commander's flag, and send a signal to change the formation!" Zhang Hao saw that Ni Liang was coming to him, he was also clever, and immediately saluted.

"Cutting in battle will be a big taboo, let you go this time, whoever dares to disobey the commander's order, correct the law on the spot!" Zhao Yu roared murderously.

"Yes, Your Highness!" No matter how they looked at it, they looked like a child and lost their temper, but there was a man with a knife standing behind him, and no one dared to laugh, and bowed down and replied in unison......

The situation was unknown, and Zhao Yu did not dare to slack off and urge the ship to sail, lest he miss the imperial fleet. But when they arrived at the surface of the Qizhou Ocean, except for the scattered fishing boats, they did not find the large fleet passing by, and the sentinel boats that had set off in advance also reported one after another, and they did not find anything within a radius of thirty miles. Zhao Yu was a little glad and a little disappointed when he heard this. It can only carry out the established plan and sail into Qizhou Island and hide it.

Qizhou Island is not an island, but is composed of seven islands in the south, Shuangfan, Chizhi, Dog Egg, Dengzhi, Beizhi and Pingzhi, from south to north seven peaks protrude, arranged in a curve, the column is more than 20 miles long, distributed into two major parts of the north and south, there are Nanzhi, Shuangfan and Chizhi in the south, the three islands are close to each other, and there are four islands in the north, Pingzhi, Dengzhi and Dog Egg Zhi are connected into one. The north and south parts are separated by more than ten miles and face each other.

There are two stone rows on the east side of the north of Nanzhi that are diagonally inserted into Nanzhi Island, forming a calm area, which is a good place to moor the boat and rest. Under the guidance of Zheng Yong, the warships of the Destroying Front Army sailed in accordingly, lowered their sails and anchored the ships here. Chen Renweng arranged the rest of the matter, and stationed a lookout post on the commanding heights to observe the movement on the sea, and sent a guard to the island to control the waterway between the islands to prevent fishing boats from entering.

Zhao Yu stood on the hatch and observed outside, the foundations of several islands are made of rocks, six peaks are continuous, there is a wide slope in the west, the island grows dense weeds and low shrubs, and there are several deep caves on the stone wall, this is a rare geological wonder in the world - sea erosion tunnel, if he has to go in to see it on weekdays, but now he is not in the mood.

Another remarkable feature is that there are birds everywhere, it can be said that it is a veritable paradise for birds, there are flocks of gulls and birds above the island, there are countless of them, and what is even stranger is that these birds are very lazy, they do not make nests, they lay eggs on the cliffs near the sea, one in the east and one in the west, and the birds hide under the rocks to hatch their eggs, and pass on their ancestors, of course, they are inevitably attacked by bird droppings......

"Your Highness, there is no trace of the imperial fleet even in connection with the two sentry ships." Chen Renweng crossed the boat and said.

"Well, they're not going to be rerouted, are they?" Zhao Hao was a little irritable, the imperial fleet did not reach Qizhou Ocean as expected, then it was possible to sail to the strait, or dock near Leizhou, he was busy with a small matter in vain, and Ying Jieyan caused a big trouble.

"Your Highness, my subordinates thought that there was no one for the time being, otherwise Qixingling would definitely light a beacon fire to warn, but now there is no smoke rising." Chen Renweng said.

"Then will the imperial fleet drift to Leizhou?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Probably not. The subordinates thought that His Highness's guess was right, and the imperial fleet was fleeing for their lives, so they would never turn to Leizhou. Chen Renweng said.

"Then we have to wait for the rabbit, let the sentinel ship patrol day and night, don't let it go." Chen Renweng said this, which made Zhao Yu have more confidence in his judgment, and there is no other way but to wait.

"Your Highness, this island is full of guano and there is nowhere to put your feet, so don't go ashore." Zhao Hao didn't sleep all night last night, so he wanted to take the opportunity to go ashore to wake up, but he was stopped by Chen Renweng as soon as he raised his legs.

"Oh, you said the island is all guano?!" Zhao Yu turned around and raised his head and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Your Highness, you see that I have only walked a few steps, and there are several stalls of guano on my body. There are more on the island, and in some places they are several feet thick. Chen Renweng also calmed down from the excitement of the battle just after receiving the order, this highness followed the Destroyer Army to fight, and said that he looked at himself, but in fact, he was holding a powder jar, and if he didn't get it right, he would blow himself and the Destroyer Army to pieces. Seeing His Royal Highness ask like this, I thought that it must be too dirty to go to the island.

"Are there really that many?" Zhao Yu asked again.

"yes, really." Chen Renweng nodded vigorously in affirmation.

"What a surprise!" Zhao Hao smiled, this bird droppings is also a treasure...... (To be continued.) )
