Chapter 525: Rehearsal fills in the gaps

As for why Zhao Gou's ability to disagree with the public this time and not let anyone be contaminated with Huiyi, Huang Qi did not elaborate, presumably there must be an unusual insider.

Huang Qi, who is good at observing words and feelings, is keenly aware of Yang Congyi's worries, and he immediately advised him not to worry too much, although this time the return is stressful, as long as it can be successful, it will definitely be able to soar to the sky and get ahead, this is an opportunity that many people can't ask for.

Yang Congyi was indeed a little frightened and worried, but it was impossible to say that he was afraid of retreating, and the opportunity that Huang Qi said, he cared very much, if he could get Zhao Gou's trust and reuse through Huiyi, he might indeed have a good future.

He was born in martial arts, because he was born with the word "martial", he has a very obvious disadvantage compared with civil officials, the same official position, if he is equivalent to a civil official, the court must choose a civil official, but if he is trusted by Zhao Gou, the situation will be different.

For example, the commander of the palace commander Yang Cunzhong Yang, just because Zhao Gou trusted him very much, he was able to take charge of the military power of Lin'an for more than ten years, and he was the prince of the country, and almost all the generals of his time withered, and none of them could stay in Lin'an.

Since this return is made by Zhao Gou, this is a real opportunity, an opportunity to enter the center of power and influence the government!

Yang Congyi promised Huang Qi that this time he would bring the fleet back safely, complete the return, and live up to the emperor's trust!

After hearing this, Huang Qi was very pleased, he said so much to Yang Congyi, and his deep meaning was to let him really take the matter of returning to Yi delivered by the official family to heart after he went to sea, and not to be like Jiang Kai, for his own selfish interests, and bad to return to Yi, since the other party understands, his task is also completed.

Before leaving Lin'an, Yang Congyi asked Huang Qi to help transfer five imperial doctors, plus thirty dancers and singers, and Huang Qi quickly did it.

Not only that, before Yang Congyi left, Huang Qi also sent him a letter of state and a holy decree from Zhao Gou, so as to facilitate his passage to the Nanyang and Western countries on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty.

With these two things in hand, the status of Hui Yi Zheng's envoy suddenly improved, which made Yang Congyi suddenly excited, with the national letter and the holy decree, once he went to sea, he could do many things cheaply, with a lot less trouble and a lot less worries.

He told Huang Qi that there were many Han people in Nanyang and the West, as well as the Song people who stayed in Nanyang and did not come back last time, and if the Huiyi fleet gave them official positions on behalf of the imperial court, it would definitely be of great help to the success of Huiyi.

Huang Qi did not agree immediately, only said that he would report his intentions, whether it can be achieved depends on the intention of the official family, after all, the official position is not so arbitrary, and the official position awarded to those small countries in Nanyang is also a matter after they personally come to pay tribute to the saint.

After waiting for two days at the Hui Yi office, Huang Qi brought good news, ten official certificates below the seventh grade were handed over to Yang Congyi, and he specially emphasized that the reward of official positions should be cautious, how much the reward should be given, and after returning, a lot of them should be reported to the court.

Yang Congyi took the official certificate and thanked him and said yes.

On November 15, Lin'an was finally fine, and Yang Congyi set out from the Qiantang River with five imperial doctors and 30 dancers and singers, and then changed into a sea boat and headed south, returning to Quanzhou on November 26.

The dense sea ships docked at the outer port of Quanzhou, and Tang Xun, Shen Jin and others had already prepared, waiting for Yang Congyi to bring back orders from Lin'an.

On the day of returning to Quanzhou, Yang Congyi summoned Tang Xun, Shen Jin, Su Zhong, Yao Chang, and Lu You, who came to Quanzhou in late October, to discuss the matter, and read out the appointment of the imperial court on the spot.

Then the auspicious day selected by the imperial court to go to sea announced to everyone that one auspicious day was two days later, and the other was the sixth day of the lunar month, and whether the fleet could go to sea still needed to be finalized, and there was no doubt that they could only choose the sixth day of the lunar month.

According to the previous plan, before the fleet really went to sea, all the ships had to leave the port and cooperate with the warships to have a rehearsal of the long voyage and do the final inspection, which lasted four days.

Now that the auspicious date for going to sea has been confirmed, and the fleet is ready to go to sea, the rehearsal can be carried out immediately.

Considering that Yang Congyi had just returned from Lin'an and had a tiring journey, the rehearsal date was set for November 29, and everyone immediately began to prepare separately.

Yang Congyi went home, although his home is in Quanzhou, but he rarely goes home for a year, even if he goes back to live for three or two days at most, the child is seven months old, and there is still no name, Qingchen wanted his husband to name the child personally, and he felt that the child was still young, there was no need for the time being, just call the milk name first, and wait for him to reach the stage of Mengxue, and then it is not too late to choose a name.

Qingchen accompanied the child, heard Yang Congyi say that she was going to sea on the sixth day of the lunar month, she didn't have too much reluctance and worry, over the years, she has been used to gathering less and leaving more, there were no children before, no thoughts, her husband was not there, she would be at a loss, now that she has a child, her energy is almost all on the child, and it doesn't matter whether the husband is by his side or not.

This feeling made Yang Congyi very uncomfortable, the arrival of the child made him dispensable at home, which made him difficult to accept from his heart, he was originally the center of this family, but now he has become a child who is still breastfeeding, and the sense of loss spreads in his heart.

Qingchen loves this child very much, she takes it personally every night, and it is inconvenient for Yang Congyi to make love to her.

So she could only sprinkle all her anger on Lian'er, several times a night, she couldn't get out of bed in the morning, although she was sore, but she was very happy, because the master's favor is now all gathered in her, and the lady will never come to rob her again.

From the first taste of life to now, Lian'er has served the lord not much, not many times before pregnancy, after pregnancy, worried about damage to the fetus, was strictly guarded by the wife, gave birth to a child, the lord ran around, the number of times she went home was only a handful, and before she had to take the child, feeding every night, there was no chance to serve. Now that the child is a little older and is taken by his wife to take care of her day and night, she has the opportunity to serve her master with peace of mind, which is a great joy for her.

Lian'er served the old man very well, whenever she heard his satisfied gasp, whenever he was exhausted and lay on top of her, feeling his hot body and pounding heartbeat, she was very high in her heart, because at this moment, the master was her alone, and no one could snatch it away, not Mrs.

After enjoying a few days of special treatment, she had to accept a reality, the master was leaving, and then she wanted the ultimate happiness, and it would be two years later, I don't know if the master would continue to pamper her next time he came back, Lian'er had no bottom in her heart, because when she served the master, she rarely talked to the master, they all did more and said less.

On 29 November, a warship headed out to sea, followed by a seagoing ship a quarter of an hour later, and then every quarter of an hour a seagoing ship departed from port, and for every eight seagoing ships, one warship left the harbor and accompanied it.

It took a day and a half for the entire fleet to leave port.

More than 100 seagoing warships were like a long snake outside Quanzhou Bay, setting up a formation of hundreds of miles before and after, lying between Quanzhou and Liuqiu.

At noon on the first day of the lunar month, the first to leave Quanzhou Port, arrived at the open sea of Liuqiu, and then turned back to return to the port first.

On the evening of the second day of the lunar month, all the ships of the Huiyi fleet returned to Quanzhou Port from the open sea of Liuqiu.

In the evening of the same day, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun summoned all the stewards of the ship, including Shen Jin, Lu You, Su Zhong, Yao Chang and others, to discuss the problems encountered at sea during the five days of departure rehearsal.

The stewards on all the ships are the elite of the elite army, and the vast majority of them are veterans of the Xuanwei Army who have gone to sea, they are either captains or fire captains, and there are many generals and generals who are ready to go, even so, Yang Congyi and Tang Xun still found their problems on the Shenzhou.

The ships they were in charge of were either too close to the ship in front of them, or they were too far away, and some of them were holding pinboards and were out of line.

This is just a question that Yang Congyi and Tang Xun saw from afar, and what details were on the way to the boat was not something they could understand.

So Yang Congyi ordered them to reflect on the performance of the ships in their charge on the spot during the rehearsal, and continue to insist after the good performance goes to sea, and if the performance is not good, they will immediately ask people for advice in the past few days, and then the training will be improved.

The meeting lasted until late at night, and the 100 ship stewards reflected in public one by one, focusing on the existing problems, and some of them raised their own difficult problems, and Shen Jin, Lu You, Su Zhong, Yao Chang and others immediately provided support.

Starting from the third day of the lunar month, the fleet as a whole entered the stage of checking and filling in the gaps, by Hui Yi Zheng Yang Congyi, Hui Yi deputy envoy Tang Xun, Hui Yi left to join the army Shen Jin, Hui Yi right to join the army Lu You, respectively inspected each of the sea ships and warships that are about to go to sea, found that the problem was immediately solved, found that the missing immediately supplemented, of course, their main errand is to represent the court, on behalf of the Hui Yi to comfort the crew, stabilize their thoughts and emotions.

In the last few days, Guo Qing sent a large number of logistical materials, including 20,000 sets of uniform clothes and 20,000 pairs of identical shoes, which Yang Congyi prepared for others other than the Jingwu Army.

All preparations were completed on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month, and all the people in the fleet, except for the elite military who were in charge of the guards, boarded the ship and were not allowed to disembark at will.

That night, Yang Congyi handed over the prepared charts and itinerary to the first warship, the first seagoing ship, the last warship, and the ten stewards evenly distributed in the middle of the fleet, and ordered them to keep them well, not to lose them, and not to copy them.
