The two fishing boats arrived at the familiar cove of Cormorant Island before the last rays of the sun set. The reality is so ironic that yesterday everyone was still here to attract wealth and treasure, and today they have become lost dogs and come here to take refuge.

In the darkness of the night, Yu Chengde, who was standing at the bow of the boat, first glanced back in the direction of the fishing village, and then looked down at the bottom of the sea at his feet at the sunken ship that had brought him wealth and disaster.

After a long sigh, he let go of his worries, and the matter has come to this, what is the use of being entangled Now that everyone has become a fugitive wanted by Zhang Bang in the Ming Dynasty, there is no turning back, it is better to plan the way forward honestly.

Thinking of this, he turned his head again to look at the endless strait in the east. The real danger lies ahead, and it has to be said that it is an adventure for two battered fishing boats to cross the strait.

Early the next morning, the two fishing boats, whose "gross tonnage" was less than 400 materials, set sail to the east without hesitation. After departing from Cormorant Island, it took less than an hour for the fleet to arrive at Wuqiu Island, the last landmark off the coast of Putian.

It is made up of two small islands. In later generations, this was the meeting point of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the soldiers guarding the island on Meizhou Island could often observe their counterparts on Wuqiu Island with telescopes.

When the 17th-century fisherman Yu Chengde came to the vicinity of Wuqiu Island, all he saw was two desolate islands. There are no lighthouses, no barracks, and the endless sea in front of him, and there will be no more landmarks to use as a reference for him.

The fleet quickly adjusted its direction and sailed away from Wuqiuyu. An hour later, even though the sky was cloudless, they could no longer see any small islands in Chengde, and when they looked at the past, they were surrounded by a vast sea, and two lonely boats floated in it, stubbornly sailing eastward.

It's September with strong southerly winds, and the fishing boats are resigned to their fate as they adjust their sails at the last minute out of sight of the island.

Ideally, as long as the wind stays the same, the people on the fishing boat will see a certain part of the coastline of the island of Taiwan at some point tomorrow.

In the case of the second class, if the wind direction changes once or twice, and it is not too drastic, then Yu Chengde can also use experience and memory to adjust the direction of the sail and maintain a general course.

The worst case scenario is turbulent winds. As soon as a few gusts of wind blow, the fishermen without GS will immediately lose their course, and then they will have to let the boats go with the flow.

Probably because God's test of the miserable people was not over, when Yu Chengde and they had been adrift at sea for a whole day, at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky suddenly changed.

The originally clear sky gradually piled up thick clouds, and the sky and the earth gradually darkened. And the situation that the boatmen are most afraid of (love qg) also comes.

It took only half an hour for the turbulent wind to plunge the people on the two fishing boats into the desperate darkness of the sea and the sky, they had already turned the sails an unknown number of times, the course of the ships had long been lost, and the escapees were now truly headless flies.

One of the fishermen, who was not very old, even cried on the spot.

"Bastard, your grandfather and I haven't died yet, the number (fart) is mourning" Yu Chengde stabilized the army's heart with a roar in time, "The wind and waves are not big, we have silver in our hands, no matter where the wind blows, there is always a way to live, what to panic about"

Yu Chengde grasped the crux of the problem, although everyone is lost now, but the wind and waves on the sea are not big at the moment, and everyone has every chance to be blown to a certain land by the wind. It doesn't matter if they return to Daming, they can use the silver to resupply them on the shore and set off again.

With Yu Chengde's roar, the boatmen's (love qg) gradually stabilized. Then he ordered the full sail to go straight, since he had already lost his sail, it was better to sail with the wind, maybe he could see the land sooner.

Yu Chengde's idea is good, but the reality is far from so good, after a day's sailing, the position of the fleet has come to the center of the strait. When he gave the order to sail with the wind, the wind direction had actually changed back to the south, but the people on the boat couldn't locate the southeast and northwest at the moment, so they didn't know where the wind was coming from.

The two boats, which originally traveled from west to east, have now been changed to go north from the center line of the strait under the blowing of the southwest wind, and if they are lucky, they will be able to see the islands off the coast of Zhejiang on the left hand side in two days, and if they are unlucky, they will theoretically be blown all the way to the coast of Bangzi Country.

So sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness.

It was in Chengde that they let go of themselves, incarnated (body shēn) seaweed, and soon after the wind swayed, it was probably the heavens that had finally had enough, so between the sea and the sky, a savior with sparks and lightning appeared.

Five Chinese-style boats lined up in a line and heading south from the north to the south against the wind meet two fishing boats head-on.

While Yu Chengde used the salvaged brass telescope to observe the small black dots sailing in the distance, the opposite fleet was also observing the two small fishing boats.

The crossing flotilla, equipped with radar and half-meter-long rack-mounted telescopes, spotted fishing boats as early as they circled the surface of the sea like flies.

The fleet departed from Hangzhou. The first two are the 0-ton passenger and cargo dual-purpose shallow draft new gate ships that are being manufactured in batches by Taijiang Shipyard, and the model is S0.

This kind of gas engine sailing ship with hard sails, but the hull is a Western-style ship type, is the standard transport ship type determined by the crossing country, and they are gradually replacing those old fortune ships on the Hangzhou route, and there will be a thousand-ton model such as S1000 in the future.

After observing the two fishing boats on the opposite side, the commanders who were bored crossing the flagship suddenly became interested.

You must know that since the fall of the Zheng family, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have already been swept by a certain force n times. Under the brutal strangulation of radar, telegraph, high-speed destroyers and drones, pirates of all sizes either surrendered or fed fish, and the entire coastal area of Fujian has now been turned into a sick situation in which they never close their doors at night.

In such a situation, there are still ships that dare to sail on the middle line of the strait, which must have escaped to be pirates.

The Commander didn't think that these two small fishing boats with fishing nets were merchant ships, nor did he think that they had gone to the center of the strait to fish, and he didn't think that these two goods were going to the big man, who let them travel north and south at this time, so the Commander had already identified these two small pirate ships that had escaped to rob.

"Come forward to check, and the soldiers prepare for contact." When the order was heard, the fleet reacted quickly, and the flagship started its engine and accelerated towards the fishing boat, while the other ships kept their original course.

And when he saw the strange big boat that was getting closer and closer, there was a cheer on the fishing boat at the moment, and the monkey who had been there not long ago recognized this strange boat type, which was the boat of the old man
