Li Yuanjing's words are orders, when the superiors use this tone to explain to you, if you insist on doing your own thing without knowing what to do, it will be a bit too much.

As a navigator, Ren Zhixing of course knows the overall situation of the fleet, after removing 3,000 soldiers, the materials of the fleet will enter a period of strict control after going to sea, under the guarantee of this system, the fleet can sail for a month and a half to two months without any supplies at most.

And Li Yuanjing's plan is just about half of this period, so even if they really get nothing, they don't have to worry about what big problems will happen, and as for the gale or something, they don't have to worry too much about this.

As early as the time when it was decided to sail, the government went to collect the weather conditions in the coastal areas to make a summary, and the conclusion was that the windy season mostly occurs from July to September, and now it is still far from this time, and they have enough time to adjust.

Four days later, the fleet arrived at Fengzhou, that is, Quanzhou in later generations, and Quanzhou in the Tang Dynasty was near Fuzhou in later generations, fortunately Li Yuanjing arranged things to Ma Zhou to be in charge, if he went directly to Quanzhou according to his memory, he would not be able to run all the way to the east!

The fleet took a short break in Toyosu to allow the crew to go down in batches to relieve the fatigue of sailing, although this was just the beginning, and the other was to resupply in Toyosu, the main of which was fresh water.

The supply of food or anything is not too much, after all, it is on the sea, Li Yuanjing has already made all kinds of preparations, and a few fishing nets have been prepared on each boat, and when there is nothing to do, you can throw it down and catch some fish to taste.

At least so far, they have been heading south along the continental shelf, and they can catch fish on average two or three times if they drop their nets in any place, and it's just a matter of more and less.

The fleet stayed in Toyosu for only two days, and set sail again early the morning of the third day, this time to the Ryukyus.

The fleet only took two days to sail 400 miles in a straight line, and when they looked at the green Ryukyu Island, many people burst into excited roars.

Although the historical records of the Ryukyus have long been recorded, and the reality tells them that this place is not far from the Tang Dynasty, but after all, this is an overseas place, and it is also the place they came to for the first time.

Standing on the boat and looking at the situation on land, everyone can be sure that there is almost no trace of human activity here, at least as far as the eye can see, there are wild grasses everywhere.

"No need to log in!" Just when Ma Zhou hurriedly arranged for personnel to land and investigate, Li Yuanjing gave the opposite order.

Landing in the bend? It does seem like a landing, but not now.

"Ma Zhou, you lead eight ships to sail north along the land, calculate the approximate size, and at the same time closely observe the terrain on the land, this king leads the rest of the people to the south, Ryukyu is a big island, at most half a month we can meet, and then the general situation on the island will be clear." Li Yuanjing commanded directly.

"No!" Ma Zhou answered, and hurriedly arranged for the people and the boat soldiers to separate into two ways.

Li Yuanjing does not plan to explore too much about the known islands, especially the bend of this place, the terrain is too simple, there are many plains in the west, and there are mountains in the east, it is this special terrain that can often withstand most typhoons and hurricanes from the southeast, so it is often called an unsinkable aircraft carrier in later generations.

This refers not only to his geographical location, but also to his special terrain.

Of course, Li Yuanjing didn't plan to just keep running, according to his memory, Li Yuanjing would probably stop the ship near Kaohsiung, and then send people to land to find fresh water for replenishment, while the others partly carried out small-scale exploration, and partly fished on the spot, and for a long time later, they had to rely on sea resources to survive.

"How?" After the fleet separated, Li Yuanjing directly called Xue Li.

Li Yuanjing is not good at visual distance, but Xue Li has done this job, and one of the most important tasks of investigation is to calculate, so he may not be able to deduce the specific data, but the general situation is no problem.

"About sixty miles!" Xue Li looked at the looming mountain in the distance and said.

Li Yuanjing nodded, there is no pollution in this era, there is no haze, in the absence of fog, the air condition is still very good, sixty miles, in fact, it is a distance of thirty kilometers, it is not difficult to watch with the naked eye, and there are no high-rise buildings to block it.

"Is it a big problem to land and explore in this kind of terrain?" Li Yuanjing then asked.

"It's not a problem, just keep an eye on the worms." Xue Li thought about it, and the situation in the distance was not clear, but they were not far from the shore, about three or four miles, and the situation on the shore was still very clear.

Dense grass, is it dangerous? It's really dangerous, if you're not careful, you'll be bitten by a snake, if you've seen a snake, it's okay to say, but if there's a snake you've never seen before, they don't even know how to deal with it, the standard process can be alleviated, but it's useless, and the toxin still can't be removed.

"Get armed! You don't need to probe much, just find the water source! Li Yuanjing thought about it, but decided to be safe.

He had considered this aspect before this voyage, after all, many places were no-man's land, overgrown with weeds, and there were also a lot of poisonous snakes, and for the soldiers who landed and explored, these potential dangers were the most deadly.

Therefore, Li Yuanjing has already asked people to create a hundred pieces of light armor, in fact, it is not light, but this armor is not mainly used for combat, the whole body is composed of fish scale armor with a thickness of about two millimeters, and even the inside of the boots is inlaid with steel sheets for protection, and at the same time, the helmet and mask are not ignored.

This kind of armor can't resist with a knife, and it also has great limitations on agility, but it is still good for poisonous snakes and indigenous homemade weapons.

As the fleet moved south, the mountains in the distance gradually shortened the distance, and then, according to the north arrow, the fleet began to change direction, sailing in a southeasterly direction, until the last piece of land disappeared, and the mountains appeared on the shore, and the same situation was the same for the next hour.

Only then did Li Yuanjing realize that the last plain just now was the later Kaohsiung, and when they turned to the east and then to the north, Li Yuanjing ordered the fleet to return to a bay they had passed before, and Li Yuanjing decided to rest and explore here, waiting for the return of Ma Zhou's fleet.
