"I see~ Thank you Team Li for your advice."

After Li Yuanshan's personal teaching, Zhang Lun finally figured out how to use the sextant to calculate the position, so he also expressed his gratitude to Li Yuanshan.

"Thank you, it's all on the same boat."

Li Yuanshan smiled and said, this sentence is very popular in Tianjin now, and it naturally came from Tianjin or the academy at the earliest.

We go to sea, life and death together, weal and woe, and live and work together for a long time, so the feelings between each other are very important, in this regard, Tianjin Maritime University attaches great importance to this aspect of training.

Therefore, the people from Tianjin Maritime College have always been very united, if there is anything, in a word, everyone will come to help, and the sentence is all in a boat, and it has slowly spread in Tianjin, becoming a popular slogan.

"Team Lee, how long will it take us to reach the Ryukyus?"

Zhang Lun smiled, and then chatted with Li Yuanshan.

At first, he was not suitable for this kind of life, but after getting used to it, he slowly liked the current life again, and for Li Yuanshan, he looked down on him from the beginning to slowly looked down on him.

Zhang Lun knows that Li Yuanshan and these people are all from mud legs, and they used to be illiterate in big characters, but now, these people not only know words, but also have a lot of knowledge, especially these people who graduated from Tianjin Maritime College, which is even more so.

It's hard to imagine how Liu Jin changed these people, casually withdrawing some people from the industry under his command, everyone is literate, can also count, and knows a lot of astronomy and geography, and his ability is much stronger than those scholars who can only do it.

"It's almost half a month to reach the Ryukyus~"

Li Yuanshan took out the map, pointed to the location of the Ryukyus and said.

"The location of the Ryukyus is very critical, you can go to Korea and the Japanese Kingdom to the north, and you can go to Luzon in the South Ocean."

Zhang Lun looked at the map in front of him, thought about it carefully, and said.

"It's not, Liu Gongzi organized everyone to go to Ryukyu to establish an advance base, and it must be for the future."

Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

The two chatted and chatted more and more engaged, and slowly talked about the development of navigation in the future around the Ryukyus.

Twelve days passed in the blink of an eye, and as we continued to sail south, it was clear that the temperature was getting hotter and hotter.

On the "Huo Qu Sick Number", Dong Muzheng, the captain of the advance team, was holding a fan and fanning the wind continuously, and from time to time he pulled the uniform of the advance team on his body, he always felt that this team uniform was very ugly, and he wanted to tear it off.

Think about the official mansion he used to wear, and then look at the current team uniform, he always feels that he has lost a lot, he used to be the commander of the emperor's guard, an official of the five grades, and a military general.

He was sent by Emperor Hongzhi to control this advance team and became the captain of the advance team, he was extremely reluctant, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and he had to come if he didn't want to.

"It's still comfortable from before~"

Thinking about the days he had lived during this time, he couldn't help but miss the days when he used to be an errand boy in the palace.

For more than a month, he also followed everyone to train and study at Tianjin Maritime College, and I felt that the training of Tianjin Maritime College was much stricter than their previous training, and it was really much more tiring.

The key is to study, even if you are literate and hyphenation, you still have to learn this navigation knowledge and learn all kinds of military knowledge, which makes him, a person who is used to living a good life, very uncomfortable.

But he had to study, and he didn't dare to have any temper, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the British Duke Zhang Mao were here in Tianjin at that time, and there were a few people from the same background as himself who made trouble.

Not only was he severely rectified by Tianjin Maritime College, but he was also directly dismissed from his official position by His Royal Highness the Prince, and was directly turned into a cloth cloth.

Therefore, although Dong Mu and these people looked down on Li Yuanshan and their mud legs, when everyone got along, they were more polite and did not dare to do anything drastic.

Otherwise, it would be miserable to be turned into cloth clothes, and the official positions of these people were all earned by their ancestors, once they were taken off, it would be difficult to turn over in the future.

"It's been twelve days, and now it's also the East China Sea east of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and you can reach Ryukyu in a few days.

Opening a map, Dong Mu looked at the Ryukyu Island on the map, and the whole person couldn't help but sigh.

"Bell~Bell~"

"There are Japanese Kou~There are Japanese Kou~"

At this moment, there was a burst of bells from the ship, and at the same time, the person in charge of watching shouted loudly, and suddenly the whole ship began to become chaotic, and the crew members continued to rush out and look at the sea.

"What?"

"There are Japanese pirates?"

Dong Mu, who heard the voice, also hurried out, picked up the binoculars and looked at the surrounding sea, trying to find the traces of the widows.

Not only the 'Huo Quai', but also the other ships rang a series of bells, and almost all of them found the Japanese on the sea at the same time.

"It's really a Japanese coward~"

Dong Mu took the telescope and looked in one direction on the sea, only to see that between the water and the sky, hundreds of ships were rushing in the direction of himself and others.

These ships are not large, they are basically small boats, only a few ships are relatively large, but there are very many of them, there are hundreds.

Every ship was full of pirates and pirates, with weapons in their hands, shouting and rowing their oars toward them.

Through the binoculars, you can clearly see that these people are the Japanese Kou, the clothes and the flags hung on the ship are the flags of the Japanese country, and there are also a large number of Japanese samurai on the ship.

"It's not just the pirates, but also the pirates~"

Dong Mu took the binoculars and looked at it carefully, and soon, he found that there were still a large number of Ming people among these Japanese robbers, and the clothing of these people could be clearly seen, and there was a clear difference between them and the Japanese pirates, and these should be the pirates of the Ming Dynasty.

"Prepare for battle~"

Dong Mu's whole person became scared and nervous.

In the past, although he was a guard for the emperor and protected the emperor, he had never participated in any battles, but now he encountered the pirates and pirates, and when he thought about the ferocity of the pirates and pirates, he was a little at a loss.

But soon, he also gave the order to prepare for battle.

The flag-bearer on the ship began to convey his orders to the other ships through the flag, and suddenly one by one became busy, in fact, not only his Dong Mu became nervous and afraid, but everyone in the entire advance team was like this.

The cannons on the ships were pushed out, and the team members put on the armor produced here at the Miyun Iron Factory, picked up swords and firearms, and began to look nervously at the swift Japanese pirates and pirates.

"Whew~"

Li Yuanshan took a deep breath, he was the deputy captain of the advance team, and he was also the captain of the 'Great General' that he was riding, looking at the pirates and pirates who rushed over, his breathing became heavier, and sweat broke out in his palms.

"It's not just the pirates, but also the pirates~"

"It's a bit unusual, they're obviously prepared and are here to ambush us."

By Li Yuanshan's side, Zhang Lun took the telescope and carefully observed, and soon noticed something unusual.

It stands to reason that more than a dozen of their big ships were dispatched, and where did the Japanese and the sea dare to provoke them, now they not only dare to provoke them, but also look well prepared, which is obviously unusual.

"It's very unusual~"

Li Yuanshan calmed down, then nodded after thinking about it and said.

The advance team had more than 10 large ships, more than 2,000 people, such a huge team, there were not many long-eyed pirates and pirates to attack, and now it was an obvious ambush, they knew everyone's route and location in advance, and waited for everyone here.

"Regardless of that, all we have to do now is to defeat these pirates and pirates, and survive first."

Then Li Yuanshan didn't think about these things anymore, but put all his energy on the battle in front of him, the pirates and pirates are very murderous, and the comers are not good, if you want to survive, you have to defeat them.

"All listen to the order and prepare for battle~"

On the other side of the sea, on the largest ship, a group of people gathered together, also discussing something.

"General Matsuura, what do you think of these ships?"

A man dressed in a robe, holding a fan, and dressed as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said to the Japanese people who were wearing armor and wearing a katana at their waists.

This Japanese man is called Matsuura Takanobu, and he used to be the commander of a daimyo on the Japanese side, but after the daimyo was defeated, he led some of the samurai under his command to become Wako.

And the person next to him is called Wang Zhi, a sea merchant in the Jiangnan region of the Daimyo, and he is also the main supporter of pirates in this area of the East China Sea, and this time he also joined forces with Matsuura Takanobu to make a big deal.

The dozen or so big ships in front of them are going all the way south from the port of Tianjin, as for where to go, they don't know yet, but the big ships that come out of the port of Tianjin, they are all big fat sheep.

"Although the style is strange, they are all the best boats~"

"Although these ships are large, they are very fast and quite agile, much stronger than the Matsuura we are flying on."

Matsuura Takanobu spoke fluent Daming official dialect, and his vision was also very powerful, and he immediately saw that the dozen or so big ships in front of him were the best big ships of this era.

At the same time, his eyes were also slightly red, these dozen big ships, he really wanted to capture, if there were more than a dozen big ships, his strength could increase exponentially.

"Pass my orders, these ships must not be damaged, I want these ships!"
