Chapter 230: It's Finally Here
Li Yuanjing is not a god either, and when you encounter this situation on the sea, no one will have a problem, unless you have satellite navigation.
The fog continued until noon the next day, and the fleet continued northward in fear, praying silently for the two lost ships.
It was only at this time that Li Yuanjing remembered the importance of the anchor chain, and because he did not have any sailing experience, even if it was furnished, he only had experience in offshore navigation, so this time Li Yuanjing's great voyage was basically full of embarrassing situations of paying tuition everywhere.
Hong Kong went to sea to pay the tuition once, and finally found the furnishings in Yancheng, and the days were finally better, but just left Wendeng County and paid the tuition again.
And this time the tuition fee is still painful, if these people don't go back in the end, just thinking about compensating Li Yuanjing will make his scalp tingle.
The 500-stone troop carrier was loaded with 300 people, and the 1,000-stone cargo ship was loaded with 300 people, as well as valuable goods, but for these 600 people, Li Yuanjing had to take out tens of thousands of yuan to settle it.
And it can't solve the fear of the crew, everyone doesn't have any confidence in going to sea, and now this kind of thing has happened, who wants to live that kind of life when you sleep and get up and lose it?
"Look, land ......"
"Here we are, here we ......"
"Woo ......"
When the continental shelf appeared in front of everyone again, even Li Yuanjing was a little sad.
He could understand the bitterness in the hearts of the crew, the loneliness and fear of being adrift on the sea, so much had happened during the period, and now that he finally saw the land, it was time to vent.
Li Yuanjing didn't scold the crew members who looked abnormal, and those who could follow him here were basically good.
And, of course, the hundreds of brothers who got lost at sea.
"Go to a ship and find out where this is? If this king understands correctly, we should not be far from the royal city of Goguryeo! Li Yuanjing waved his hand calmly.
Is Mundeng far from Goguryeo? It's not far at all, it's only a three-day and four-day voyage, but if it's land, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month to get there.
Therefore, Yang Guang's goods are still a bit silly, sitting on such a powerful dynasty as the Great Sui, can't he have the patience to study the navy well?
If 20,000 sailors were sent from Wendeng to attack Goguryeo, even if there was no progress in the land war in the west, these 20,000 people would be able to easily crush Goguryeo.
The royal city is gone, and you still have a fart?
Therefore, fighting a war is not about strength, but about skill.
"How's the chart?" Looking at Ren Zhixing, who was also excited, Li Yuanjing asked nonchalantly.
Compared with those crew members, Ren Zhixing's excitement was a little more, and the shortcut to Goguryeo from the Tang Dynasty was discovered by him, no, it was drawn by him, this will definitely be a scene that will go down in history, although there are various episodes in the middle, but this does not affect Ren Zhixing's mood.
"Your Highness, everything has been drawn, as long as you determine where the opposite side is, this chart is basically completed." Ren Zhixing excitedly gave up his entire position and showed the entire map in front of him in front of Li Yuanjing.
Li Yuanjing looked sideways and found that Ren Zhixing was still somewhat capable, although the drawings were not standard, but at least they could be understood, and it was still clear which one was at a glance.
Starting from the starting point, the first stop marked is Yancheng Port, which is a day's journey and about 200 miles.
The second station is Yancheng Port to Haizhou, a journey of three days and about 400 miles.
The third stop is the East China Sea, and the fourth stop is Wenden.
If the journey is smooth and there are no extreme weather, the whole journey will take about 10 days, and if you take a break on the way, it will be another matter.
And now it is starting from Wendeng County, diagonally 45 degrees a line straight to the northeast, the distance is not marked, only about four days written, at this time only need to determine where the opposite land is, basically completed the mapping of this route.
Of course, in the current situation, the ghost does not dare to guarantee that there will be no mistakes.
……
Before the 500-stone boat that had gone to spy on the news had come close to land, the fishermen on the land scattered and fled, not even the guys in their hands.
And the soldiers on the boat looked at the canoe docked on the shore, and couldn't help sighing in their hearts, why is this place so poor? Can you make a fortune on this trip?
And in a big mansion not far from the shore, this mansion is placed in the Tang Dynasty......
At most, it is so much better than the yard of ordinary people's houses, and it is quite big, but compared with the village-level landlords, a little thumb can crush them with their eyes closed.
Of course, this does not mean that the owner of this big mansion has no money, on the contrary, he is very rich, and he is also a big man for dozens of miles around, and the family is so dilapidated not because he is reluctant to pay, but because he has money and no place to buy good things.
He also wanted to think about the green bricks and green tiles, but was that thing all he could think of? It is said that several buildings in the palace were built of green bricks and green tiles, and even the ministers could not afford such treatment.
"Clan...... Patriarch, it's not good...... "A young man in tattered clothes, full of rotten holes, with a dark complexion, and a small stature stumbled all the way, and entered a magnificent thatched hut with a panicked face, and his eyes did not dare to look at it, and he would be beaten to death by people who were snooping on his wealth.
"Dog, didn't you see that the uncle was doing something? Get out, by the way, go home and tell your sister, let her wash and wait, Uncle Ben will pamper her tonight......" The whole seat, one forty or fifty years old, with gray hair and a fat body, the patriarch with thief eyebrows and rat eyes couldn't help but be angry, and reprimanded the other party in Chinese.
That's right, it's Chinese, and there's a translator by your side.
Listening to the patriarch's words, the young man gritted his teeth, and he couldn't wait to go up and knock out the dead fat man with a punch.
But he couldn't, his father never came back after going to sea ten years ago, his mother died five years ago at the hands of this merchant, and the young man also knew that his sister had been targeted by him, so he could get an errand job here, starving to death, but definitely not enough to eat.
He couldn't run away, there was nowhere to run, and running out was a death, so he could only endure it, his anger was temporarily suppressed by fear, and the young man might feel that things had a turnaround.
So he ignored the threat of the dead fat man, and continued: "Suddenly there are many large ships on the seaside, these boats are big enough to cover the sea behind them, and I see people surging on them, battle flags fluttering, and at least five thousand people ......"
"What?" The dead fat man's face suddenly tightened, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
He didn't believe in any like covering the sky and the sea, but when a battle flag appeared on the ship, it was a big problem.
Shocked, the dead fat man breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "I haven't heard that there is such a big ship in Goguryeo?" ”
