In the process of building a large number of ships, Yun Xiaoshui ordered Fenglei and Guyang to each lead their own troops of 45,000 people, along Guangyang County, Yuyang County, Youbei County, Liaoxi County to Liaodong County, and pay special attention to the military movements of the Xiongnu and Donghu in the north along the way.

If you arrive in the east of Liaodong County early, you will be temporarily stationed there and wait.

Yun Xiaoshui led 10,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to open up a new sea waterway.

After the 880 large, medium and small ships were built, the wind chasing who suddenly took people out to reconnoiter sent a message that Xu Fu went to sea from Dongjiao County and came back again, returning to Langxie County, saying that the people he brought out lost nearly half of the people, and the ships were also badly damaged.

Yun Xiaoshui personally led the fleet of Dongjiao County to Langxi County along the coast, and when he tried sailing, he recruited craftsmen to build 300 such three-story ships in Langxi County.

It is necessary to recruit sailors, especially experienced navigators, old captains. Yun Xiaoshui's remuneration was very high, and he promised that when people went to the boat, the money would go to his family. There were many people who came to answer the call, and in addition to the old man, there were also middle-aged women.

Yun Xiaoshui remembered in astonishment: Before the Song Dynasty, the status of women was not too low. In addition to not being an official or joining the army, it is normal to go to the mountains to hunt, go to sea to fish, and go out to do hard labor. Especially the implementation of his policy of allowing women to serve in the army, the current Daqin women are very capable!

"We don't want women!" A woman who refused to come to answer the call for the navigator shouted.

The middle-aged and elderly women glared and asked, "There are many female soldiers in your army, why don't you recruit us?" We want to meet the National Teacher! ”

"We didn't tell the world! The flags are also the original flags of Great Qin, and the information of the national teacher Yun Xiaoshui is not revealed! Yun Xiaoshui received the report and came out of the account to take a look, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Do you usually go out to sea with men to fish?" Yun Xiaoshui didn't ask them how they knew that this was the army of another country's division, but asked them about their own situation.

"Yes, my lord! We have lived on small islands and seaside fishing villages for generations, and we have both men and women who have gone to the sea to fish. In addition to women with children at home! ”

"Do you all have the ability to see the water and recognize the fish, and listen to the wind and the weather?"

"I have some experience in begging for life at sea, I wonder if it's the ability you said?"

"Hehehe...... What I want is your experience, some ways to make a living at sea! Good! As long as you are eligible, I will accept you! ”

Most of them are middle-aged widows, people who have nothing to worry about, Yun Xiaoshui accepted them, these people even save money, don't give their families that part of the money, they don't have a family to receive. In addition to recruiting some middle-aged women, the army also recruited some young male and female sailors, as well as some old fishermen and old captains. The sailors and navigators are all ready, and the supplies are as well stocked as possible.

Yun Xiaoshui summoned the fishermen who had been recruited at this time and asked how they knew that this army was led by the national teacher? A few young people blurted out in unison, "The soldiers introduced you!" ”

All right! So that's what happened! Perhaps out of pride in being a part of this crusade army, both the soldiers and the police officers are looking for opportunities to show their identities. So he seized the opportunity to say that he was a person in the Eastern Expeditionary Army led by the national teacher Yun Xiaoshui!

is about to choose a day to go to sea, here and now, Yun Xiaoshui really knows that it is not possible to pretend to be everything with money. In this seaside town, you sometimes can't buy anything but fish.

The old fisherman told Yun Xiaoshui: "My lord! Walking on the sea, you don't have to bring a small clay pot of fresh water, or a small piece of steamed bun to make people precious! Only then did Yun Xiaoshui realize his mistake when he was in the capital, he brought little gold and silver, but he didn't bring many supplies.

Yun Xiaoshui had no choice but to send out a large number of people to buy them in distant inland towns, and the price was high, and he couldn't buy them all.

When the day of departure came, Yun Xiaoshui ordered to "bang bang bang" into the sea and fired three cannons, and then "tom tom" shot a row of fire guns into the sky, the horn sounded, the cowhide drum and the gong were beaten, and thousands of ships were full of people and materials, as well as live pigs, live sheep, cattle, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, etc., anchored and left the coast to sail to the sea with slight, turbulent waves, blue waves and white waves, water and sky.

Soon after the sea march officially began, Yun Xiaoshui discovered a very strange phenomenon, at least it looked very strange to him, that is, some soldiers and police officers from the mainland, as soon as the ship left the coast, they immediately became excited, dancing with their hands and eyebrows!

On the contrary, the sailors and pilots stared at the shore as the ship moved into the sea and became smaller and smaller until it disappeared, with a deep face and a serious demeanor, which made people feel solemn and sad! At that time, Yun Xiaoshui and the others didn't understand it, but when they encountered the big sharks later, everything suddenly became clear!

Life is more important than pleasure, more than surprise, more pride, than satisfaction, more important than anything else!

Although he carried Sinan's "compass spoon", a magnet that was discovered by the ancient Chinese during the Warring States period and used to guide the direction, the sea of clouds was vast, the wind and waves were high, and it was difficult for the wooden boat to move smoothly, and it was common for the bow to twist and change the direction of navigation at any time. Fortunately, the general direction has not deviated!

I don't know where I went, but no one has ever been here.

"Eun-ko-sama! Didn't the old fairy Xu Fu bring someone here? How could there not be a trace of what they had passed by or been there? "Chasing the wind and the wind and thunder are inseparable from Yun Xiaoshui, seeing that the weather is about to change again, chasing the wind anxiously and asking Yun Xiaoshuidao.

"That's hard to say! Because there are too many unknowns and variables in the sea! They may have moved away from other places due to the wind and waves, they may have died, or they may have lived on a large island and lived a stable life...... However, of all the possibilities, I am the most recognized, and they have found an island not too far from the mainland to live. I think the most unlikely thing is to be shipwrecked and buried in the belly of a fish! ”

"Why? Young master, please tell your subordinates the reason for this! ”

As soon as Flash made a request, Chasing Wind on the side said: "So many people, so many supplies, not to mention the ships, if they are all swallowed up by the sea, no one will find clues on the beach!" Just because no one saw anything means that there are not all the people killed! ”

Yun Xiaoshui nodded at Chasing the Wind and expressed his appreciation.

"Newspaper - a large number of big black-headed fish have appeared in front of the right, a terrible school of big fish!"

"Big fish? Pull the cannon and fill it with gunpowder, and I want to show them the power of my bronze cannon general! ”

After a while, four bronze cannons on the deck of the largest ship on which Yun Xiaoshui was riding were already loaded with wooden forts, and full-time soldiers were immediately ready to fill with gunpowder.

"Oops! Stop, Master Guoshi! ”
