Chapter 364: Rush first
"Alright then!" Li Dongsheng reluctantly looked at the whale who didn't know whether he was foraging or playing in the water, and thought about how many catties of meat and how many catties of whale oil left him.
Then there were cavalrymen exclaiming, Li Dongsheng looked up, it turned out to be a group of dolphins jumping out of the water happily in front of the boat with the sunset on their backs, and they were stunned by a group of northern soil buns, and even Xue Rengui forced his body to the deck, muttering: "No wonder the brothers in the navy are reluctant to go back to the shore, it turns out that life at sea is not only boring, but also can see many wonders in the world." ”
"Don't sigh, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first, it's all new routes now, those guides said that the front is Silla's territory, and they haven't been here either." Lai Heng is worried: "The new route is too dangerous to sail at night. ”
Li Dongsheng nodded: "Yes, but the wind and waves must have deviated from the route, and I don't know where I am now." He is very distressed now, there is no satellite positioning, he just doesn't know the specific location in the vast sea, and he doesn't know the distance if he wants to find a place to stop.
At this time, there were loud cheers on the deck, and Daniel Zhang said excitedly: "There is a small island, there is a small island... ”
Li Dongsheng, Xue Rengui and Lai Heng turned their heads, and saw that under the light of the setting sun, an island emerged in the golden light, and that scene caused a huge shock in everyone's eyes, and then it changed into all kinds of cheers, Lai Heng immediately ordered: "All ships turn around, raise their flags, and go to the island to rest tonight." ”
"What island is this?" Lee Dong-seung immediately put out a map in his mind, and there is only one big island in the East China Sea that is so close to the Korean Peninsula - Jeju Island. He immediately came to his senses: "The navy immediately goes to the place where we can dock and explores the road, and we will rest here." ”
At the place near the coast, Lai Heng put the boat down, and then for this opportunity to land on the island, everyone broke their heads, and finally divided dozens of people to go down, when there was still some distance from the coast, Tang Jun overturned the boat, and rushed to the shore in the waist-deep seawater, Xue Rengui sighed: "How much I want to go ashore, I also want to go up." ”
Li Dongsheng instructed Lai Hengdao: "Record the location of this island on the nautical chart, and this will be my Datang's naval supply point in the future." ”
"Yes, but there is still a problem with whether there is anyone in this place, how to resupply?" Lai Heng said: "Chief, this should be the country of Silla." Although it is a vassal state, the navy still has to talk to Silla about supplies. ”
"No, this is not the place of Silla, it is a country called Tamna, they live on this island, and they basically have no contact with outsiders." Lee Dongsheng traveled to Jeju Island in his previous life and remembers the historical allusions here very clearly.
Xue Rengui and Lai Heng just don't know why Li Dongsheng is so good, he can say one, two, three or four about everything. At this time, the landing soldiers sent a safety signal, and then the Tang army was relieved to anchor the ship close to the shore to rest.
The next morning, Li Dongsheng followed the Tang army to the island to survey the terrain, found that the island was densely wooded, and said with a smile: "The island is lush with vegetation, there must be birds and beasts, everyone eats too much fish and shrimp at sea, and today I will go to buy some meat and sacrifice with the locals." "Yoyo Book League
Dozens of scouts had already been scattered, and by noon a radius of dozens of miles had been touched. Li Dongsheng and their pursuit of Quangai Suwen were in a hurry, so they bought pigs and cattle from the local people, and after replenishing fresh water, they set off.
Seven days later, the Tang army's fleet was already looking at the continent to the south of the sea. Li Dongsheng looked at the continent in the distance with a complicated expression. This is the Wakoku, that is, the future of Japan, this country from the beginning of the humble to the later hideous, more than a thousand years has always been ambitious, I came to this era, can I change it?
Lai Heng said: "Chief, this is the Wa Kingdom?" Shall we land directly or do we get in touch with them first? ”
"First arrange for someone to inquire about the news of Quangai Suwen, and then tell them that we are going to repair here for a while to see if there is any benefit to be made." Li Dongsheng said: "This country is not big, but it has always been ambitious, and it wants to expand its territory, and it is cruel and cruel, and it is the best at covering up itself." Be careful when dealing with them. ”
"Brutal? No, I think those envoys to the Tang Dynasty are very polite? Seeing me, the people of Datang were very polite. Lai Heng said: "Sometimes we escort their boats, and they all talk quietly, except for their strange hairstyles and short stature, everything else is similar to my Tang people." ”
"That's all disguise, this nation worships the strong the most, and loves to learn the most, but once you are weak, he will show his brutal side and add to your sword, so be vigilant and don't give him a chance."
At this time, someone on the shore of the Japanese people on a high watchtower had already discovered the warships coming from the sea, and they were so frightened that they climbed down from the watchtower and ran back to inform. The people on the docks also saw this huge fleet and began to panic, and the whole port began to scream, the crowd ran around, and armed soldiers came to the port to keep guard.
Laiheng arranged for a small boat to row to the port, and before they could say what they meant, a bamboo arrow shot over, which made them very annoyed and shouted: "We are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, we are not enemies." ”
At this time, many people on the big ship were holding a piece of penny in their hands and constantly connecting to detect the depth of the water, and there were people holding pens next to them to record the depth of the water and the situation of the reef. This is a new task assigned to them by Li Dongsheng, and they must make detailed explorations and record the hydrological situation everywhere they go, so that they can continue to explore new shipping lanes and open up new horizons.
Seeing that the small boat that was about to negotiate could not dock due to the arrows, and had already rowed back, Li Dongsheng's brows furrowed: "What's the matter with these guys?" Don't even give a chance to deal with it? ”
Lai Heng also felt very annoyed, in so many places, it was the first place to be so faceless. He said in a deep voice: "Daring to take the initiative to attack my Tang army is tantamount to declaring war." Put twenty small boats and kill the people on the dock first, and let the cavalry land. ”
Xue Rengui really adapted to life at sea after so many days of sailing, and at this time he took the initiative to say: "Let me take someone up to rush a wave, after so many days of idleness, my bones are crispy." ”
Seeing that the Tang army began to lower the boat and some armed soldiers began to board the boat, the Japanese soldiers on the shore became even more nervous, only to see a puff of dust flying up at the end of the road, and the Japanese reinforcements arrived.
