Tsujin.

The dock not far from the city was crowded with people, and it seemed that everyone in the city had gathered here. All of them were still happy on their faces, and there was still a shock in their eyes.

"Wow, what's that? Is it a ship? How could there be such a big ship! ”

"yes, how can a ship be so big?"

"Where is this ship, it is clearly a mountain! A mountain made of wood! ”

……

"This ship is so big! If only I could go in and have a look! ”

"That's right, if you can go in and have a look, you won't change it for a woman! Ouch~ What are you pinching so-and-so? ”

"Dead ghost, do you have the ability to go up?"

"You...... Good men don't fight women! I'm old, but it's still possible for my son! ”

"Huh? There is some truth to this! ”

……

"This, this, this...... Is this still a ship? It's a huge mansion! ”

"Huh? This makes sense, it does look like it, but it doesn't look like a mansion, it looks like a building. ”

"Buildings? Like an inn restaurant? ”

……

The chaotic sound of speech sounded at the wharf of Yujin. And they didn't know that from tomorrow, this dock would have a new name-

Suijin Harbor!

Right now.

Gongsun Du and others were on the dock to see off Cheng Pu and others who were about to go away.

"Demou, remember, you must drive close to the coastline, otherwise there will be wind and waves, there will be losses, I hope that the 3,500 people who went out this time can come back alive, understand?" Gongsun Du admonished Cheng Pu with a solemn face.

It's no wonder that Gongsun Du is worried, not to mention the past years, the unknown future alone is enough to make people tremble.

You must know that the world's first ocean voyage was in the Ming Dynasty, more than a thousand years later. At that time, not only did I have a lot of experience at sea, but I also had a huge treasure ship, which was quite large, and its ability to resist wind and waves was much stronger.

Speaking of which, this trip to the Americas can be said to be a gamble, a big gamble!

Win, the future of Liaodong can be expected! Even if history changes, but Tanshi Huai did not die more than ten years later, Liaodong can also feed countless people with the huge output of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, just wait for twenty or thirty years to pass, and the population will increase several times, or even more than ten times, dozens of times.

It is not necessary to have confidence in the fertility of the Han people.

If you lose, you will not only lose a lot of warships, but also lose the only naval generals in Liaodong, even if you die as in history, Xianbei will withdraw from the Han border county and return to the grassland, Liaodong will not have much ability to go south, and after getting in touch with the imperial court, he will be condemned, even if he does not die, he will have to shed his skin.

"Yes, my lord! Please rest assured that your subordinates must be careful and bring back the artifact for the lord. In Cheng Pu's view, if sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are really as their father-in-law said, they are definitely worthy of the words of gods.

However, for this long trip, Cheng Pu was also in awe. Especially the storm he experienced the year before last, which he can say is still fresh in his memory. For Gongsun Du's advice, it is absolutely in my heart. In his opinion, if his lord can know that there is such a divine object thousands of miles away, then his lord is afraid that even if he is an immortal, he will not be far behind, so he must listen.

Gongsun Du hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Three years!" Up to three years! If you can't find them, you have to return within three years. ”

"In addition, if you can not kill, you will not kill, and it is best to change it."

……

Unconsciously, Gongsun Du said a lot more. It wasn't until Wei You reminded him that it was time to go, and he stopped: "Remember, in three years, if you can't come back, so-and-so will send the news of your death to your respective homes." ”

"Last year, a certain person asked someone to talk about family affairs, but you can't just let the family be widowed."

Cheng Pu thought so, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, lord, we will definitely come back in three years." ”

"Good!" Gongsun Du patted Cheng Pu's shoulder and said, "Don't say much, let's go!" ”

"I wish you a victory!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Cheng Pu tightened his palm-sized book and map in his hand. This is the map that Gongsun Du prepared for this trip to the Americas, as well as the relevant introduction to sweet potatoes and other things in his memory.

After all, Gongsun Du didn't know what the names of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn were now, so he could only draw their appearance for reference.

"My lord! Farewell to subordinates! ”

Cheng Pu bowed and strode away.

Gongsun Du looked at the back of Cheng Pu's departure, and his heart was surging, and he didn't know if it was too cruel to gamble thousands of lives for this species far away in the Americas.

"I hope you have a good trip."

Gongsun Dumu saw Cheng Pu pass through the boat and board the 'Tianwu', and silently blessed him from the bottom of his heart.

"My lord! The subordinates thought that whether this trip could be completed or not, it would be a matter of great significance, or it would be no less than the first emperor to build the Great Wall, so the dock under our feet may have a resounding name. Wei You asked, "I wonder what the lord thinks?" ”

Gongsun Du was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out two words-

"Fusiliers!"

"Flint? The flint of the torch? Wei You pondered for a moment and said, "This name is very good, it not only has the meaning of blessing Cheng Pu to lead them, but also praises our descendants of Yan and Huang, which is very good." ”

Gongsun Du nodded and didn't say anything more.

After Cheng Pu and the others disappeared into the sea, Gongsun Du took Wei You and the others without returning to the nearby Yuanjin, and went straight back to Xiangping.

And Cheng Pu on the Tianwu battleship also kept watching Yujin from the top, he didn't know that the dock had been renamed Suiren, and when he couldn't see it anymore, he sighed in a low voice and went down to the cabin on the second floor.

He wants to go and see the only one who is not the heavy shield soldier of the water army this time.

Because this expedition may eventually be fought, Gongsun Du was worried that the navy was strong in water warfare, but it would be greatly discounted when it arrived on land, so after consulting with Wei You, he selected two hundred heavy shield soldiers.

The reason for choosing heavy shield soldiers, first of all, is that the journey is long, in addition to the naval army, the cavalry is also not successful, because the consumption of war horse materials is too large, so you can only choose the infantry army.

Secondly, the purpose of this trip is for sweet potatoes and other things, which need to carry capacity, and the transportation capacity of the battleship is limited, so only a small number of infantry troops can be dispatched.

Moreover, the total number of round shield soldiers is only two hundred, and it is difficult to expand, and it is too small to divide a hundred people, and it is not appropriate to send them all, not to mention the pro-soldiers, they are responsible for protecting Gongsun Du, Wei You and others will not agree, so in the end, they can only be heavy shield soldiers.

In the end, it was Gongsun Du who believed that it was best to solve the problem without force, so the heavy shield soldiers who had an advantage in defense were indeed the first choice.

"What are they?"

Cheng Pu entered the cabin and saw two hundred big men sitting listlessly on the ground, in any posture, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Commander, they're seasick." The sailor soldier who was responsible for taking care of the heavy shield soldiers in the cabin said helplessly.

"Sure enough!"

Cheng Pu had expected this, patted his head, and was both happy and helpless in his heart: "Fortunately, this trip is still far away, and there is enough time to adapt." ”

"Always keep an eye on it, and if the situation becomes serious, report it to the Commander immediately." Cheng Pu has nothing to do about it, he can only wait for them to adapt.

"Yes. Command. ”

Cheng Pu returned to his room and opened the map and book given by Gongsun Du. In order for this expedition to go smoothly, he must take a good look and not have problems.

After carefully reading the map several times and learning about the route of this voyage in detail, Cheng Pu's attention turned to the palm-sized book.

When he opened it, Cheng Pu found that there were both illustrations and detailed introductions, and he couldn't help but feel a little more confident in this expedition.

"If we can't find the artifact like this, then God won't let us live!"
