Chapter 1345: Guarding Carefully
"You and my brother, there is no need to do this, the naval division fleet is a new type of military, the foot soldiers of the Great Zhou of my Great Qin Inheritance have just been replaced by horse pawns, many tactical traditional generals and even military officials are not very clear and adaptable, this kind of large-scale naval division is not understood by everyone, I can only give some simple suggestions, but the real navigation and combat are a hundred times more complicated than the usual training situation, I don't know, wind and waves, ocean currents, reefs, climate and even diet, etc. are completely different from land, These need to be slowly explored and adapted by yourself through sailing training, and once you go to sea, all kinds of unexpected situations will happen, the most terrible thing is to lose your course on the vast sea, if you can't use the compass to identify the stars, you may never be able to return to Daqin......"
Chen Xu stood up and patted Han Xin on the shoulder.
"The sea is unpredictable, far more terrifying and complicated than the land, so everything must be cautious, make a strict navigation plan, record the detailed navigation route, learn to recognize the ocean currents and storms, and remember to sail close to the coastline that can be observed on the land island, at present, these captains, stewards, shipwrights, and seafarers are the seeds of my Great Qin's future voyage to conquer the world, you must remember to be kind!"
"Brother, don't worry, the letter must be kept in mind!"
"That's good, the conquest of Sanhan after going back this time is the time when the Great Qin Navy Division emerges, you must succeed in one fell swoop, let Your Majesty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty see the strength and ferocity of the Navy Division's fleet, and let the people of the world see the majesty of the Navy Division's fleet, so as to threaten and deter the unscrupulous people in the world, and let my Great Qin Wanli Sea Frontier be calm!"
"Hou Ye rest assured, we have been very familiar with the Korean Peninsula several times, after Hou Ye's letter last year, I have also arranged several navigation training in Liaodong Bay, and at the same time, I have also asked the coastal people of the Korean Peninsula about the news of some Sanhan tribes, this time I promise to calm the Sanhan in one fell swoop, and bring the entire Korean Peninsula into the jurisdiction of my Daqin!" Cao Shen also stood up and assured seriously.
"Well, you discuss this matter with the officials of the Langya County Government to arrange, Ben Hou will not point fingers, and then the King of Liao will also arrange soldiers to cooperate with your sea attack, remember to complete it before the cold winter comes, if the heavy snow seals the mountain, it will be difficult! Today is August 20, you had better return to Langya before the end of the month, complete the preparations in early September, officially send troops in mid-September, and complete the battle plan before the end of October, this is the case today, then we will be divided into two teams to set off, Dean Cao took four ships to Minzhong County to go to Fuye County, Minzhong County, with my warrant to find the county lieutenant Gao Yan, there is a batch of supplies and a thousand Minyue teenagers, you go to ship them quickly, and then stand by! ”
"Yes, Master Hou!" Cao Shen didn't think much about it at all, let alone ask more.
"The second brother took four boats to Huangpukou by the sea in Wuzhong, and when the big ship docked, Jiang Chufeng, the second son of Wuzhong County Shoujiang Heng, will come to you, the same batch of supplies and a thousand Wuzhong teenagers, and they will wait for me in Huangpukou after loading!"
"Yes, brother!" Han Xin knew about Chen Xu's arrangement, so he simply agreed.
After the arrangement was completed, after all the boatmen had cleaned up, a group of people got up together, Cao Shen quickly set off for the south with four boats, and Han Xin also took Chen Xu and others to the coast of Wuzhong with four boats after saying goodbye.
Eight large ships left, and the narrow bay instantly became much more open.
The soft and clean sand leaves messy traces of thousands of people trampling on it.
After eating a meal and resting for nearly an hour, a group of seasick people such as Meng Wan, Ying Shiyan and Yu Ji finally recovered.
As a group of landlubbers living in the inland of Xianyang since childhood, in addition to the swimming pool at home, they have never been in the water, and the sea has only heard and never seen, and today I arrived at the sea for the first time, the clean beach, the vast sky, the blue sea, the continuous sea breeze, the golden sunshine, the sound of the tide surge, countless kinds of shells and shrimp and crabs crawling on the beach, as well as the seabirds soaring and chirping on the vast sea in the distance, all showing a completely different scenery from Xianyang.
"Daddy, come and see, Xi'er has picked up a flower shell!"
On the coast, Chen Xi ran over happily holding a shell.
"Let Daddy see it...... Wow, it looks good! Chen Xu took it and found that it was a conch shell, the color was bright and smooth, it was indeed very good-looking, but it was too small, just an inch long.
"Let's go, Daddy will take you to the reef beach over there to find it!" Chen Xu took off his shoes and led Chen Xi in the direction of the exit of the bay.
"Brother Xiaoxu, wait for me!" Yu Ji ran over with her skirt, her hair and skirt fluttering in the wind, full of the youth and vitality of a girl.
"Husband, wait for us!"
Watching Chen Xu move, Meng Wanying Shiyan and a group of wives and concubines couldn't help but swarm to follow, so Chen Xu was like a foraging rooster, with a group of wives and concubines, holding his daughter's hand, stepping on the soft sand and gently surging coast and walked into the distance.
A group of people stopped and walked and sometimes separated to collect shellfish on the beach, and sometimes gathered together to watch a beautiful shell, giggling laughter resounding through the bay.
A brown monkey chased and jumped around a group of people, and from time to time he would be naughty and slap the little maid on the ass who was still bending down to pick up shells, and then jumped into the sea water in the screaming chase of the maid and grimaced at the maid, the little maid was not to be outdone, and chased directly into the sea with her skirt.
In the midst of the play, a group of people drifted away, leaving a long series of messy footprints behind them, which quickly disappeared under the swell.
There are also songs and ballads in the midst of the relaxed frolic.
"The evening breeze blows Penghu Bay, the white waves chase the beach, there is no coconut grove falling and the sun is just a piece of sea blue, sitting on the low wall in front of the door and fantasizing over and over again, and it is also the beach at dusk with footprints left on two and a half pairs of ......"
"It's rare for a husband to have such a quiet day!"
On a reef not far from the bay, Shui Qingwen and Xia Zijin stood on it facing the sea breeze, watching a group of people playing on the beach, Shui Qingwen couldn't help but whisper.
"You didn't suspect him? Weird and weird, I know everything......" Xia Zijin asked a little weirdly.
"Doubt? What do you suspect about your husband? The water was soft and beautiful, and her cheeks were full of doubt.
"Doubt his true identity, a wild boy from a mountain village, fell from a tree and was in a coma for three days, and when he woke up, he said that he had obtained the Taiyi Immortal Venerable Dream Book of Heaven......" Xia Zijin turned his head, with an extremely strange look on his face, "I asked Shizun and several elders of the sect, and they all said that your husband is possessed by demons......"
"Sister Shui, don't slander my husband like this in the future, you don't know him!" The water gently shook his head.
"I'm too lazy to talk about him, you too, and the big fool is really taught by a master, stubborn!" Xia Zijin shook his head helplessly.
"Wow, Chengweifu is not here, and you are talking bad about me to my junior sister again!" Behind him, Yu Wuyan appeared silently on the top of the reef.
The two women turned around, their faces were different, and Shui said softly and pleasantly: "Senior brother, your martial arts seem to have improved again, and I haven't heard your voice!" ”
"Hey, what's the progress, it's not that you can't beat me!" Xia Zijin pouted.
Yu Wuya didn't do anything, looking at Chen Xu and a group of family members who were playing on the beach, his face slowly calmed down and said, "Senior sister, Engong wants to leave Yu Ji behind this time, what do you think?" ”
Shui was silent for a long time and shook her head slightly: "Yu Ji has grown up, and she is also docile to her husband, although her husband has repeatedly said that he wants to send her away from Xianyang, but it can be seen that her husband is also reluctant, I ...... I don't know what to do? ”
"Three wives and four concubines are just that, does he want to occupy even his brother's daughter?" Xia Zijin's tone was slightly stiff.
"You don't have to think about it, Yu Ji has nothing to do with me, it's just that I picked it up at the beginning, and I originally wanted to give it to Engong to raise as a concubine, and I have never raised it for so many years, let alone talk about the relationship between father and daughter, Engong wants to accept him as a concubine or give it away." Yu Wuya shook his head.
"All men in the world are generally virtuous, and the disciples of the Immortal Family are no more than Erer!" Xia Zijin turned around and jumped down from the top of the reef nearly three feet high, fluttering like a cyan petal falling silently on the beach, and then disappeared into a reef forest after a few ups and downs.
"Senior sister, don't blame Zijin, she has such a temper, and she doesn't have any bad intentions towards Engong!" Yu Wuya explained with a wry smile.
"I know, Senior Brother Yu Ji still listen to her husband's arrangement, I'm just worried that Yu Ji went to Taiwan with you and is not used to the wind and waves and hot climate by the sea, I have watched her grow up since I was a child, although she has the name of the eldest and youngest, but in fact she is like a sister, if her husband does not marry, you must help her find a good match, she will be fifteen years old next year......" Shui gently turned his head and looked at Yu Wuya seriously.
Yu Wuya was even more distressed, and nodded with a tangled sigh: "Okay, if Engong insists on leaving Yu Ji behind, I will take good care of it, but next year will be the nine-year catastrophe mentioned by Guiguzi's predecessors, and now I will wait for Engong to get through this catastrophe, although the theory of the catastrophe is ethereal, but the identity of Engong is also mysterious, you and I still have to take it seriously, after going to Taiwan this time, I will help Engong train these two thousand musket teams for a long time, and you must remember to be cautious when guarding Engong's side, Don't be careless and let Eun Gong have any mistakes! ”
"Hmm!" Shui gently bit her lip and nodded, but her heart was chaotic and helpless.
The catastrophe that Guiguzi said at the beginning was inexplicable, Shui Qingrou and Yu Wuya also knew that Chen Xu had been preparing in secret, from the original collection of five hundred teenagers to start serious and strict training, to the later invention of Taiyi Divine Thunder, Taiyi Divine Musket, Taiyi Divine Artillery, the five hundred teenagers of that year are now all grown up, and hundreds of new recruits and trained over the years, in addition to the two thousand people this time, strict military training plus sharp musket artillery, Yu Wuya believes that no one in this world can stop this firepower.
It's a pity that Chen Xu's ambition is not to be an emperor, otherwise he would have been able to build a sharp firearms army that swept through Great Qin.
Shui Qingrou and Yu Wuya didn't know what the Nine Years Tribulation was, so they could only try to help and guard carefully.
"Heaven and earth are not all-powerful, saints are not all-powerful, and all things are useless. We are just ordinary people, just do our best, if even Engong can't cope with things, we can only sigh, junior sister does not need to worry too much, not to mention Engong has always been cautious and steady, now it seems that everything is under Engong's control, junior sister don't worry too much, I will go down to play with Engong for a while, miss today, I'm afraid there will be no such leisure in the future! ”
Yu Wuya comforted the water and said a few words softly, and then jumped down from the reef, the person took a few steps forward in the air and landed on another reef, his clothes fluttering, and soon stood on the beach more than ten zhang away.
"Engong, wait endlessly!"
Seeing Yu Wuya excitedly chasing after Chen Xu and the others, a trace of burden on Shui's soft and beautiful cheeks was even worse, and he slowly sat down cross-legged and began to close his eyes and breathe.
