Chapter 407: Pacific Route

For those who need to be adrift at sea all year round, being able to land is undoubtedly an expectation.

And they may all have to stay on the ship for the next few months, and even if there are quite a few of them, there will be an inexplicable sense of loneliness.

Therefore, these five days of rest in Hokkaido can be regarded as their last leisure time before sailing.

Li Yuanjing didn't ask too much of them these days, but no matter what he did, he had to abide by the rules.

As for the use of boat girls, Li Yuanjing also made changes.

There is no need for the soldiers to pay for it themselves, and the money will be paid by Li Yuanjing, but the number of times is strictly limited, and each person only has two chances per month.

The boat girl has no right to choose, let alone the right to refuse.

To put it bluntly, Li Yuanjing didn't treat these women from the Wa Kingdom as human beings at all.

Of course, you can't be too strong, everyone still has a salary of 300 yuan per month.

This number is not a small number for them, and as for how to prevent all kinds of germs, the ship is equipped with professional medical officers, who will check the ship's women every day, and will also check the people who have sex with them.

Better than nothing!

"Hey...... Your Highness, why didn't you stop me that day? Fang Yiai looked at Li Yuanjing with a depressed face and complained.

The five-day rest soon passed, and the fleet was ready to set sail again, when the most enjoyable people began to get worried.

"Since you can't control your lower body, let your lower body control you!" Li Yuanjing smiled slightly.

"My dad will definitely beat me to death when I get home, what can I do?" Cheng Chuliang couldn't cry and looked at Li Yuanjing.

"It's okay, your dad will beat you for a few days, and you won't be able to get out of bed for a few days." Li Yuanjing smiled.

The woman Yang Yun pulled out that day was not an ordinary woman.

It's all the daughters of the Yang family, no matter whether the bloodline is pure or not, they are the people of the Yang family anyway.

Anyone who can still be said to have a good look in the past, and those who have not yet been married, Yang Yun has pulled people over, even if some are already married.

Unfortunately, a woman chosen by Cheng Chuliang is already married, and according to the predetermined deadline, the marriage will be completed in less than a month.

But because Cheng Chuliang chose her, her marriage was canceled by Yang Yun and chose to let her follow Cheng Chuliang.

This is a political transaction, which can also be seen as a relationship.

No one knows where these will be in the future, what if they are closer?

In this way, if the Yang family encounters some difficulties in the future, they can also help.

Yang Yun is very aware of the gap between these people and the Yang family, so he can pull one by one.

What's more, even his daughter was given to Li Yuanjing, and now that he has made this decision, who else dares to say anything?

Over the years, the Yang family has had enough life under the fence, and no one doesn't want the Yang family to have a piece of land of their own.

The fleet moved slowly, and since leaving Hokkaido, the fleet has switched to economic mode.

But just that's not enough for Li Yuanjing.

More often than not, the sea route is not a straight line or the nearest distance, although this result may be very metaphysical for Li Yuanjing, but it is the truth.

The earth is first and foremost a ball, and it is also autobiographical, so a straight line may be the farthest route.

And Li Yuanjing often heard people mention that there is a route from Asia to North America, which starts from Hokkaido, passing through the confluence of the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea.

Although it may seem like an arc, if the season is right, you don't even need to use manpower, and you can bring a ship from here to the Americas with ocean currents alone.

Although Li Yuanjing has some experience in navigation, this experience is really fragile.

So, Li Yuanjing directly ordered the fleet to go in the direction of two o'clock until they saw the confluence of the two seas.

This one isn't that hard, and it's easy to tell the difference.

Because the density of the two different seas is different, this directly leads to the different colors of the seawater, and a clear boundary will be formed on the sea.

After twenty days of boring sailing, the speed of the fleet increased significantly.

Although the improvement is not much, this is mainly because the supply ships will transfer a part of the supplies every two days, and the warships with strong power and endurance will always maintain ninety percent of the material reserves, so as to increase the speed of the entire fleet.

This way, they can run a little faster, even in economy mode.

But even so, the fleet can only cover a distance of about 100 kilometers in a day.

And Li Yuanjing's so-called confluence of the two seas still did not appear.

"There is land!" Suddenly, the lookout post shouted excitedly.

Not only him, but even the people on the ship were excited to keep watching after hearing the news, but unfortunately, due to the location, they couldn't see the land.

The fleet continued to move forward, and after half a day, the people on board could clearly see the land in front of them with the naked eye, and the lookouts could see even more.

"Like an island? Arranged vertically in front of us? ”

Ren Zhixing, who received the news, hurriedly marked on the chart, this time he also served as the captain of the fleet, although this job was a little tiring and hard.

But now, there is really nothing wrong with the choice of the year, at present, no one in the entire Datang has more sailing experience than him, especially in the area of route specialty, Ren Zhixing can be said to be the first person in Datang.

"Your Highness, at present, it should be an island from east to west, do you want to take a closer look?" Ren Zhixing asked, pointing to the islands marked on the map.

"No, turn due east! Stick to these islands! Li Yuanjing directly vetoed.

Based on time and speed, it should be about the same here.

Although the confluence of the two seas is not seen, it is possible that it was influenced by these islands.

But in any case, Li Yuanjing finally had confidence in his heart when he saw these islands.

If there are a series of islands in the future, it proves that they are running right, they only need to follow the islands to reach Alaska, and there is no problem with the rest.

Just walk down the continental shelf, and follow this road directly to the southernmost point of South America.

This time, Li Yuanjing did not plan to prove that the earth is round, the route in his mind was to start from Hokkaido, pass through Alaska, North America, South America, and then turn west, pass through Australia, and then go to Nanyang to return to China directly.

This voyage was enough to ensure the distribution of territory for everyone, and the Nanyang side had actually begun, and the imperial court had sent more than 30,000 people to land on Luzon Island for early development.

The family also organized people to conduct a second exploration, and if nothing else, they would have to determine the location after returning from this exploration, and then prepare to migrate.
