Chapter 229: What should I do if the ship is lost?
Wendeng County, Dengzhou, is near Weihai in later generations, and Li Yuanjing did not plan to go around the Bohai Sea, in that case, the entire trip would increase by about ten days.
Although I don't know the specific location, it doesn't matter, as long as you know the general direction.
Opposite Wendeng County is Duli Town, which was later known as DA Company, even at the current fleet speed, it can easily arrive before sunset when it sets off at sunrise.
Li Yuanjing also did not plan to go this way, but planned to continue to deviate the course to the northeast to see if he could go straight to Pyongyang.
This trip to the Korean Peninsula seems to be for enjoyment on the surface, but in fact it is not, Li Yuanjing's real purpose is to survey the route and prepare for the next real voyage.
The brother of the official of the city department is called Chen Shu, who is in his thirties, dark and fat, and the whole person looks quite happy.
And this person is also very interesting, he always likes to go to the bottom of the boat to find the crew who is paddling and pretend to be forced or something, and then he is often kicked out by the captain on duty.
After two days of exploration, Chen finally discovered a terrible fact, there seemed to be no one on the ship that he could provoke.
The furnishings were extremely depressed and quiet, of course, everyone knew that this was the sequelae of being used to being powerful.
Knowing that the people above couldn't be provoked, he went to provoke the people below to find a sense of existence, but he didn't expect that all the rowers below were soldiers, and it could be regarded as a kick on the iron plate.
However, the professional skills of this cargo are barely passing, although the professional terms or anything can not jump out of a sentence, but the route is still relatively familiar, and even know where to go to spend the night, which saves the fleet a lot of trouble, and does not rely on the soldiers on the shore to guide the way to explore.
With such an acquaintance leading the way, the fleet only took ten days to come to Wendeng County, Dengzhou, this time they were lucky, they didn't encounter bad weather, and the furnishings led them into the deeper sea areas, so they didn't have to worry about the reef, and Li Yuanjing still recognized the ability of the furnishings.
Of course, there is not only one person on the boat who is bored and about to become moldy, the first few days are faintly vomited, and the next few days finally recover a little vitality, Cheng Chuliang began to lead a few little guys to jump up and down.
For the furnishings that jumped around as soon as they got on the boat, it was naturally a while of toying and then a burst of beating, and as a result, under these few small yamen, they were stunned to knock out the furnishings' family background.
The reason why Chen Wei understands these things is entirely because of his brother, who is an official in the city shipping department, and the entire wharf is under his control, and the ships coming and going from the south to the north naturally have to be politely entertained.
Seeing that the furnishings had nothing to do at home all day long, and he couldn't read, he gave him a hundred acres of land before it was lost in less than a year, and the hair in the family was falling out one by one.
On last thought, let's just go to sea.
Those who are stammering with his shipowners are piled up, and there is no problem at all with a person on the ship to eat a meal, and the furnishings are not just a meal, as long as the ship is docked, it is completely green light, put on the goods and give priority to unloading and loading, usually it takes about five or six days for a large ship of a thousand stones to enter and leave the port, but now, four days at most is enough, if it is urgent, three days can go.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the efficiency is inefficient or not, anyway, the big ships don't care about these days, the most important thing is to place the furnishings, and the city shipping department will not get stuck with their goods, which is very important.
Otherwise, your ship will not let you enter the dock when it arrives at the port, and you will not be allowed to unload the cargo when you enter the dock, and it will not be a problem to easily drag you for ten days and half a month.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, furnishings are on the boat to develop this habit, nothing to bully ordinary people, physical work or something will never do, idle boring to chat with people, tell some interesting things, a few years of other but did not learn, is to remember the route.
Who let this cargo stay in the command cabin all day, every password given by the shipowner, after years of accumulation, even a fool can remember a rough idea.
After arriving in Wendeng County, the task of furnishing had actually been completed, but the cargo refused to leave on the ship.
And the reason he gave turned out to be that he has many years of experience in going to sea, although he doesn't know anything, but at least he knows how to deal with certain situations.
And this is exactly the ability that the current fleet does not have, Li Yuanjing thought about it again and again, and decided to leave the furnishings, just in case.
The fleet rested in Wendeng County for three days, and after replenishing some supplies again, it moved north.
Li Yuanjing asked people to engrave a circle of marks around Sinan according to the scale of the watch, and then directly ordered to go in the direction of two o'clock, and the exercise area can only be between one o'clock and two o'clock, although the error is still very large, but in this range, at least it can be guaranteed that no matter how much yaw, when they see the destination, it must be the territory of Goguryeo.
In addition to the bad weather that he encountered for half a day at the beginning, the smooth flow of the road also gave Li Yuanjing a sense of expectation.
However, it seems that God thinks that a story with only a beginning and no end is not a perfect story.
So, the fleet had just set sail for a day, and when it was about to set sail the next day, it found that there was a heavy fog outside, not to mention seeing the situation in the distance, even the surrounding ships could not be seen.
"It's okay, don't panic, it's very common to encounter this situation at sea, just find a high-pitched roar, it's nothing more than waiting for the fog to recede before leaving." Chen Shi suddenly had some square in his heart, but he still gave his own opinion.
Of course, the furnishings would never tell Li Yuanjing that when he sailed in the past, he had always walked alone on a ship, and he had never formed a fleet at all.
The trick of roaring is also used in foggy weather to prevent being hit by other ships, although it is not visible, but when it hears the sound, the ship will pay more attention to avoid collision.
And then......
"Your Highness, there are two ships missing, one is a troop carrier, and the other is a ship loaded with coarse cloth......"
"What's going on?" Hearing that there were two ships missing, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but feel a little worried.
You must know that when the ship was stopped last night, he ordered all the ships to be linked, and the outermost part was guarded by a troop transport ship of 500 stones, to prevent pirates.
At the same time, in order to avoid accidents as much as possible, there are four ropes connected between the two ships, and each has two ropes tied to the other ship.
"The outermost boat checked the rope for breaks, and it should have fallen off three of them, and the last one was forcibly torn off in the middle."
At this time, Li Yuanjing remembered that the sea was indeed a little unquiet in the second half of last night, and when it was quiet, fog appeared, but he didn't care about it at the time, and he didn't have a lot of sailing experience, and he didn't think about confirming the safety of the fleet, so everyone fell asleep again in a daze.
Until the last boat did not get a response when he shouted just now, he was instantly frightened when he saw the rope, and hurriedly reported the situation.
Li Yuanjing's face was speechless, at this time, it was not just him, everyone had no choice, they couldn't see it, and they didn't dare to run around.
"I hope that when they find out, they can return to China smoothly according to Sinan's guidance and wait!"
