The Exploration Division is an old agency under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it has gone from the beginning of mineral exploration, such as gold and silver on Sado Island, to the current sea expedition. To put it bluntly, this is an institution that serves Zhao Gou's will.

The ocean-going expedition was the first time that the Exploration Division had sent two batches, one along the Whale Sea to the north, and the other was Wang Cai to the south, and after arriving at Temasek, they continued to the south, and after crossing the Sunda Strait controlled by Sriwijayajaya, they went south to the south!

This is Wang Cai's task!

The arrival of the expedition did not stir up a storm in Temasek at all.

There are only three lucky ships, or two small and one middle, which is too commonplace for Temasek. With the beginning of the Zhao-Song Dynasty Nanyang Partition, more and more merchant ships from all over the southeast coast were passing through Temasek, and their number was increasing in a straight line compared to before Jingkang.

Wang Cai and the others also had no intention of mobilizing the people, and the gongs and drums were noisy so that people could know their purpose.

Silently took a break in Temasek, replenished the materials, fresh water, etc., and quietly opened up.

As the secretary of the expedition, it is Wang Cai's duty to record everything he sees with his own pen.

But how to protect more people and how to better fulfill their duties is the task of the expedition team to promote Zhang Bao.

As Zhang Rong's younger brother, Zhang Bao could have had a relatively bright future in the army. However, the society can't be blamed for the back, in a battle to eliminate pirates, nine out of ten battles, the soldiers were killed and wounded, but Zhang Bao's fingers fell off two, and he could only retire.

Now that he has come to serve in the expedition, Zhang Bao can be regarded as making the best use of his talents.

Compared with a professional former officer of the foreign navy, Zhang Bao has been in the army for several years, and what he learned is not only to carry a knife to cut people and command warships to fight, but also to learn professional ocean-going navigation technology and corresponding astronomical and astronomical knowledge from his teaching.

Those teachings were specially taken from the maritime merchants by the imperial court, and all of them were people who had sailed many times, and they were the most professional seafarers in the current time and space.

Zhang Bao has been trained in the navy for several years, and he has both rich practical experience and good theoretical knowledge, and he has no fear of maneuvering a small fleet of ships to and from the vast sea.

"South ...... of Java"

Looking at the large blank space on the chart, Zhang Bao's eyes were about to glow. New World, knighted! This is what Chief Lan said to him before leaving, this is the promise of the Son of Heaven!

Even if it's just the lowest title, it can make him ascend to the sky in one step!

And what made Zhang Bao even happier was that the Son of Heaven attached great importance to ocean exploration, and even took out the title to pay him. The Great Song Dynasty has been at war in recent years, and it is not easy to be knighted. Because of such military exploits as Annan and Nanyang, the imperial court did not recognize them at all.

That kind of war is won, and it should be won!

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Rong, the brother of Zhang Bao's clan, is now a general of the naval division of the Great Song Dynasty, but he still has no title.

Zhang Bao has been convinced of Zhang Rong since he was a child, but an ocean expedition made it possible for him to surpass Zhang Rong and be knighted one step ahead, which gave him too much mental stimulation.

Since the Son of Heaven attaches so much importance to ocean exploration, this matter is certainly not a one-shot deal. If he can bring the ship out for the first time, he can also bring the boat out for the second time, just like leading the troops to fight, the first expedition to make great contributions, and the second expedition to establish new merits, that one merit plus one merit, and if you don't add a few times, you will inevitably be promoted again.

He is not yet thirty years old, and he can run on this vast ocean for another twenty years, how many times can he go out on an expedition?

Zhang Bao felt that he saw a 'shortcut' to fame, and he couldn't guarantee that Wang Cai's and other noble children would also see the benefits like him.

The prospect of that future is truly wonderful!

The great joy made Zhang Bao completely forget about the danger and risk.

When the husband is alive, if he wants to make a meritorious career, where can he not experience danger and take risks?

Think about the emperor of the Zhao family in Bianjing City, didn't he also bear huge risks and dangers to raise troops in Hebei at the beginning?

Zhang Bao, who once again did a good job in psychological construction, walked onto the deck full of vitality.

The fleet has now crossed the Sunda Strait, and the scorching sun of the South Pacific Ocean is shining on the vast seas.

According to the Emperor's instructions, expedition ships crossing the Sunda Strait were to sail eastward, sticking to the narrow island of Java until the easternmost part of the island, and then turning south.

Zhang Bao didn't know what this was, but he absolutely obeyed the emperor's orders.

In fact, that's all Zhao Gou can help him with, he still roughly remembers the location of Australia, southeast of the Spice Islands, not due south of Java Island. The specific location is to see Luzon, Australia is located directly south of the Luzon Islands.

Zhao Gou, who could still remember this, gave such instructions. Just like he gave very inexplicable instructions to the expedition to the north - pointing out the Kuril Islands and the Aleutian Islands.

I believe that the promoters of the two teams will be very surprised when they see Australia and the Americas.

There are few people in the Central Plains who know about the two ocean-going expeditions, in fact, even among the people who know, I am afraid that only Zhao Gou is worried about them.

In the eyes of Zhao Buqian and others, it was a trivial matter, and no one cared about it at all.

At that time, wouldn't it be nice for them to make sure that there was one more person in the list of people in the Xian Liang Temple?

The controversy over the Martyrs' Shrine has ended, and the time is set for Jingkang Year, so it can be said that the emperor tore off the faces of his father and eldest brother and stepped on the ground.

It's also a shame that the Emperor Taishang has passed away, and King Wu has also gone to Nanyang, otherwise King Wu and his family of big and small would have no face to go out to see people.

But the Xian Liang Temple has always been arguing.

Not just because of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, but because the word 'name' is too tempting.

Since ancient times, there have been many people who have seen through glory and wealth, but there is no one in ten million who can break the word 'name'.

How many officials who have been honest all their lives are not greedy for money or power, and what they are greedy for is to be clean for a lifetime.

In particular, the Chinese people who are filial piety first, and those whose descendants (students) are in the dynasty can be said to be open to the glory of their fathers and grandparents.

The former ministers of the Shenzong Dynasty were still ranked, but after arriving in the Shenzong Dynasty, the time suddenly narrowed to a Jiazi year, and there are still many descendants of the current government and the opposition, and the ranking has suddenly become difficult.

Zhao Gou can still sit firmly in Diaoyutai.

But he can not bother with the affairs of the outer court, but he can't avoid the affairs of the inner court.

Xing and Pan held back for more than two months, and finally couldn't hold it back.

spied on Zhao Gou several times to find out the news, because Zhao Gou had already asked the Internal Affairs Office to prepare for the canonization ceremony. The latter had already begun to prepare the crown suit and matching costumes.

Isn't this just teasing these two people?

"What's the hurry, when the time comes, I'll naturally tell you. It's still early! ”

On the boss's bed, in the curtain of the tent, Emperor Zhao, who had just been dripping with great slaughter, was now like a big lazy worm that had been pulled out of his bones, and he squinted his eyes as he spoke. can make the Pan in his arms angry!
