"You don't believe me?"

The next day, when Li Ying came to the "Jingwei", Zhu Guoqiang asked with a smile before he was angry with Huimei.

"Down, the subordinate definitely didn't mean that!"

Although the prince is his own uncle, of course he knows that there is another reason up and down, and Shen San has told him more than once what kind of etiquette he should observe.

"Well, okay, then keep going the way you are!"

Zhu Guoqiang smiled, and then pointed to the sextant on the nautical chart on the table, and said to Li Ying.

"I'm going to set up a nautical school to teach nautical arts, and if there are smart and clever children who are twelve or thirteen years old, they can come directly to the school and learn them, and I will teach them how to use these things when the time comes."

There are no superfluous words, only orders from the higher.

In fact, Zhu Guoqiang did not know navigation, but after learning to use the sextant and the navigation clock, the remaining problems were basically mathematical problems, and for anyone who had received higher education, he could always complete the basic calculations with formulas.

In the face of the orders of the prince, Li Ying could only choose to obey.

The next few days will be unusual for Li Ying. Because from the day his daughter elbowed outward and led the fleet to the "slope", he found that the prince knew the sea even better than the seafarers who sailed the sea all year round.

Along the way, despite the same rush to the north, under the leadership of the "Jingwei", as if there were eyes in the sky guiding the fleet, after leaving the pilotage point composed of those sea colors, islands and other complex sea landmarks, the fleet still went north steadily, and the speed was much faster.

"The owner of the ship, it seems that the prince of the world is really like a divine help!"

When the fleet entered the Qingshui Ocean again, Shen San stared at the "Jingwei" at the top of the fleet and sighed.

"Although it is said that this road is a rush to the wind, the prince always seems to know where to sail? I don't have to worry about getting lost at all. ”

Although he is a scholar, Shen San was also born in a maritime family, so he naturally knows what he is most afraid of "grabbing the wind"!

"Generally, if you grab the wind, what you are most afraid of is only grabbing the wind and forgetting to look at the sea," said the north wind navigation south wind. At this time, if we go against the wind and follow the wind, it is easiest to lose our way at sea, but the prince of the world is ......"

As an old seaman, Li Ying certainly knows that the prince is now "grabbing the wind", completely putting aside the kind of grabbing wind that he is used to.

"It's like there is a god in the underworld, as long as you use something to calculate on the map, you know where you are, and the prince also said, I will teach me how to use those instruments in the future!"

Thinking of seeing the nautical charts in the cabin of the prince, as well as those sextants, two-legged gauges, protractors, parallel rulers and other nautical instruments, Li Ying's gaze became a little complicated, at least for a moment, he felt that the family heirlooms he had hidden in his stomach seemed to be outdated and no longer needed......

The so-called "starve the faint-hearted, support the bold!" ”

At this moment, Zhu Guoqiang has a deeper understanding of this truth.

As the fleet got closer and closer to Liaodong, his mood became more and more nervous. Worried about the exposure of the fleet's whereabouts, he was also worried about the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Although the road was smooth, there were still many deaths, whether it was the soldiers he led from Shandong, or Liu Liangzuo's troops in Huainan, they had no experience in navigation, so that after a few days of sailing, many people vomited and diarrhea, and more than half of them lost their combat effectiveness, and this situation continued to spread.

The reality of seasickness among the officers and soldiers made Zhu Guoqiang's heart extremely anxious, and he was worried that when he arrived at the destination, the army would collapse because of seasickness.

On the fourth day of going to sea, that is, when the fleet approached the waters of Liaodong, the officers and men finally adapted to the voyage and recovered from seasickness.

At this time, the fleet arrived at the Waichangshan Islands off the coast of Dalian Bay, and in order to rejuvenate the officers and men, at the suggestion of Mao Chengzhi, the fleet sailed into this remote sea area, which is not too far from Liaodong and can be used as a rest point before landing.

There was no need for Mao Chengzhi to guide the fleet, Zhu Mingzhong relied on the map to accurately find the ocean island in later generations, and then sailed straight into the "Taiping Bay".

"Lord Shizi, you see, there is the old dragon head, when the general led the sailors at the end of the year, there was a fort there, at that time, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians on this island......"

Mao Chengzhi who returned to his hometown looked a little lost, after all, everything on the island was destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty captured Phi Island with the cooperation of the Korean naval division, not only tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Phi Island were all killed, but also the soldiers and civilians of the islands along the coast of Liaodong were also killed.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that after eliminating Dongjiang Town and clearing the Liao people on the islands, Mites Qing finally felt at ease, they did not realize the importance of coastal defense, except for the thousands of people stationed in Lushun, there was not even a beacon tower in other places, so that now after arriving in Liaodong, Zhu Guoqiang can choose the landing location at will.

While the troops were resting, Mao Chengzhi led a ship to find a suitable landing site.

Because when he was in Dongjiang Town, he had led the sailors to land the brothers in Dongjiang Town from here countless times, and he was naturally familiar with the landing ground suitable for landing, in fact, in the case that the other party had no defense, the landing was very simple, as long as he found a sparsely populated and flat place and sent ashore in a small boat. Unlike the Bohai Bay coast, which is completely frozen, from the mouth of the Yalu River to the Lushun area, there are at most some ice floes, and there are suitable areas for landing.

In the evening of the next day, the fleet appeared on the sea around the mouth of the Yingna River, facing the sea breeze and waving a large flag with the word "Ming" written on it. The troops, who had been resting on Ocean Island for two days, began to land in small boats.

Standing on the bow of the ship, when he saw a big flag planted on the land of Liaodong again, Zhu Guoqiang, who was full of ambition, said a little excitedly.

"Liaodong, I'm here!"
