Everyone was a change in complexion, Li Yi, Kong He, Fang Shaoqun, Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian, Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan, Gao Shilai, Tian Heng, Jin Jian, all the civil and military officials under the Nan'an Hou Mansion in Qizhou all stood up and stood on both sides of Xu Zixian.

When the bell struck forty-nine times, it finally stopped ringing.

"The prince is dead." The person who passed on the middle school said with a pale face: "I didn't expect to encounter such a major event on this trip." ”

"Of course, it's the top priority......" Although he had been prepared, Xu Zixian still had inevitable sadness in his heart. He looked at the edict and said very coldly: "King Qi is not an ordinary prince, he is a towering tree that shelters Fujian Road, and now that the tree has fallen, I want to see what serious things those weeds can do?" ”

The dispute between Qi and Zhao, coupled with Xu Zixian, the people in the court not only heard about it, but they knew it very well.

For such words, it was inconvenient for the Zhongshu people to answer, so they could only respond with an embarrassed smile.

Xu Zixian ignored him and moved forward, and of course the people in the Nan'an Hou Mansion hurried to follow.

When he climbed the city wall of Qizhou and looked at the Fuzhou Mansion City from afar, everyone silently followed behind Xu Zixian.

Xu Zi looked at everyone first, and also felt the complicated eyes of everyone, and also felt a little shaken and suspicious.

For a long time, the old people, including Li Yi and Qin Dongyang, knew that there was King Qi behind Xu Zixian, and now that King Qi has passed away, even if he made the final arrangements before he died, can Xu Zixian grow up quickly, no longer need anyone's help and grow independently, and finally become a giant tree that is a few points taller than King Qi?

"There is a saying that many people have said, but it suits my current state of mind." Xu Zixian suddenly smiled slightly, and said aloud to everyone: "Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement." After the death of King Qi, from now on, we should face everything independently, gentlemen, we should do what I want, okay? ”

"I am willing to be dispatched by the prince and the prince to die!"

Li Yi, Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi, Fang Shaoqun, Chen Zuocai and others all hugged their fists and responded with one voice.

"Good." Xu Zixian said: "I hope you don't think that this scene is the end of an old chapter, but the beginning of a new chapter." ”

……

The ears and nose are surrounded by a salty sea breeze, the sea breeze is so humid that it seems to be an infinite amount of water vapor surrounding people, making people unable to break free and escape.

When I looked at the past, it was an endless blue sea, and it was already mid-April when I sailed from Fuzhou by boat, and it was half a month since the last group of immigrants went to the Eastern Domain.

Li Yi, Fu Qian, Kong He and others had already rushed over, Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi and others were also the second batch to pass, and there were also recruits from the water battalion.

Originally, the water battalion soldiers and the water camp area that were planned to be trained in Qizhou were going to be relocated to the Eastern Domain, but Lin Jiusi and other masters rushed over to quickly build a wharf and a boat yard in the Eastern Domain, and of course, the water camp area.

Lin Douyao has vaguely reminded that there is no longer a threat of Qishan bandits in Nan'an Town, there is only a small group of bandits to harass, and there is no need to maintain a strong regimental training force, so the land battalion left in Nan'an is at most a battalion of more than 500 people, plus more than ten cavalry cavalry.

As a promise to King Qi and a recognition of Xu Zixian's strength, it was also to win over potential allies, Lin Douyao did not directly order the revocation of the Nan'an group training, but also gave each other a buffer.

Of course, everyone understands that Nan'an is the place where Xu Zixian has been operating for a long time, and it is also where the other courtyard is located, where the official household is located, in addition to the group training, there is also an important place where the tax card with an annual income of hundreds of thousands of yuan is located, and there are also large wharves and warehouses that are being built, and the annual income is also hundreds of thousands of yuan, plus the income of a large area of vegetable fields and animal husbandry areas, the withdrawal of group training is equivalent to forcing Xu Zi to lift the table first, if Lin Douyao really does this, I am afraid that on the day the official document is issued, the "Qishan thief" who has been chased by the heavens and has no way to enter the ground suddenly appeared again.

Of course, Xu Zixian can't be blamed for this, Nan'an Hou has already said that the rest of the Qishan thieves have not been appeased, so we must be more careful everywhere.

And with Xu Zixian's ability, it is not impossible to conquer a few county seats, and even the capital of Junzhou, what can Lin Douyao and King Zhao do at that time?

Flip the table and announce that Xu Zi is behind the scenes?

The left phase, the right phase, the prestige of the court, the overall situation of the Northern Expedition, how to deal with these things?

Under many trade-offs, many parties have a tacit understanding, Xu Zixian destroyed Qizhou Port, most of the forces of Shuiying and Luying moved to the Eastern Domain, and Lin Douyao left Nan'an for Xu Zixian, and the group training donation was also received, after all, Xu Zixian's reason was also well-known, the imperial court did not allocate Dingkou silver taels, and a lot of silver was needed to operate the Eastern Domain.

On April 12, Xu Zixian met with Chen Wenjun in the Changwen Marquis Mansion, and after saying goodbye to each other, he went to the dock to board the ship.

"What's wrong with the prince?"

A rather tall, stocky man came over worriedly, because the weather was hot, the man was only a boatswain and not a soldier, so his robe was open, revealing a chest full of long hair, which was rare for Fujianese.

"Boatswain, I'm fine." Xu Zixian smiled with a pale face, but his heart was overturned.

In later generations, he was also a man who rode on a boat, but the kind of large sea ship and this kind of wooden sailing ship were completely different things...... In that kind of boat, the waves rush out of the bottom of the big boat, the hull of the boat shakes slightly, except for a few people who may feel uncomfortable, most of them are smiling and looking at the sea through the window...... The sea is tamed, honestly, and can't make any tricks.

On this kind of wooden sailboat, a small wave can make the Fu No. 1 tilt sharply, and then flip back with a snap.

Back and forth, it's like a roller coaster, but it feels much scarier than a roller coaster.

Physical discomfort is one thing, and it is rare for people who are new to the sea not to be afraid of this kind of small sailing boat.

The navigators of this year are really fighting for their lives.

At this time, there are no satellite cloud images, and there is no typhoon warning many days in advance, so we can only judge the weather based on experience and judge whether there will be a typhoon.

The amazing thing is that most of these primitive methods are not wrong.

Most of the old sailors are very sure that there are ships that are destroyed by typhoons, but only a few, and most of the ships are destroyed by reefs and inexplicable reasons, such as sailors mutiny, encounters with pirates, violent plagues on board, and so on.

Or miss the water replenishment point, the boat is cut off from water and food, it is possible.

In these years, entering the sea is desperate, unless it is a short-distance route near the sea.

For example, for an old sailor like Huang Laifu, it feels similar to taking a walk in the backyard of his own home.

"Don't worry." Huang Laifu said: "It's just a small wind and waves, we can go to Penghu in the evening, if there is a strong wind, we can take shelter on Penghu Island, nothing to do." ”

"I'm not worried...... Xu Zixian finally showed a rare embarrassed expression, he rushed to the side and retched down for a long time, except for water and bile, there was really nothing, but the dizziness was reduced a lot.

"There's no way around it." Huang Laifu has been with Xu Zixian for a long time in the past few days, but he knows that this prince is the best to speak, of course, referring to people with civilian status, officials of the Hou Mansion, and soldiers, Nan'an Hou is quite strict with the rules, although he is close in private, but when he talks about the rules, he does not let them at all.

Huang Laifu doesn't care about this, people have their own rules of conduct, and there is an obvious one, that is, it is a matter of course to serve people's bowls, be managed by others, and abide by the rules, and there is no need to have any emotional backlash and dissatisfaction.

"Junhou," Huang Laifu said: "We will also faint, but we are used to it, we endure it when the wind and waves are small, and we can't help it when the wind and waves are big, and we will vomit." ”

Xu Zixian nodded, stood on the side of the boat, and tried his right hand to stabilize the side of the ship, so that he could stand as balanced as possible.

If this little wind and waves can't survive now, what can we talk about Yang Fan and the sea, and reproduce the brilliance of the Great Wei Sailor?

Huang Laifu really admired it in his heart...... There is no other way to survive the dizziness at sea, only the adaptability formed by the captain for a long time, in fact, many old sailors are very comfortable on the ship, and have become accustomed to the unstable and shaky posture of the center of gravity, but after getting on land, the center of gravity will be unstable, and they will walk crookedly, forming a ridiculous sailor step.

Huang Laifu has to spend several days to adapt to every time he goes ashore, but he adapts quickly after getting on the boat, the sea, the wind and waves, the swaying hull, the unpalatable food on the ship, the restricted clean water, and the fact that he can't take a bath for dozens of days, these things make him adapt very much, he is far more calm on the boat than on land, and he is much happier.

For newcomers like Xu Zixian, there are a lot of jokes to talk about among sailors, the kind of curious look when you see the sea, panic when you see a little wind and waves, and keep vomiting and have no appetite, these are actually normal.

For a determined person like Xu Zixian, he adapts quickly, and judging from his current performance, he is not too far from fully adapting.

By the time Xu Zixian was able to finish his lunch with a staggering attitude, he would be completely adapted.

There was also a sailboat next to the Fu No. 1, which was the Ling No. 1, and the smaller sailboat was full of people.

The officers and soldiers of the water battalion, who were all military soldiers, also looked like many were lying on the side of the boat and vomiting.

Xu Zi smiled first, and the boredom in his heart was reduced a lot.

Fu No. 1 transported Xu Zixian and other civil and military officials, as well as a small number of guards.

The cabins below deck were filled with all kinds of utensils, mainly iron tools, for the construction of the barracks, the docks, the shipyards, and all kinds of factories were to be built.

Even the plate armor was filled with shovels, shovels, forks, and all kinds of necessary tools, wrapped in bundles of grass, and the iron tools exuded a blue sheen, and the piles of iron tools were placed together, which had a strange and pleasing beauty.

The speed of the boat was very fast, and when the sun was still bright, the fleet arrived at the pier on Penghu Island.
