Chapter 412: Do your best, look at the will of heaven

Walking along the North Pole, there are many islands in between, where you can take shelter from the wind and rest. Fresh water can be replenished. You can also catch fish on the edge of the island to replenish your food. Another point is that this part of the Arctic Circle is the westerly wind belt on Earth. This way to the United States is a tailwind, very convenient.

Brothers, the Arctic Circle, it's cold. Be careful not to let the sea freeze the boat. That's why you go out to sea in the summer.

One more thing you have to remember is that it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and it's summer for us. Choose a good time when you return.

In the end, Zhang Jie took out a magnetic embroidery needle and taught them to use a compass on the spot. It's so simple, it's easy to learn.

Everyone admired Zhang Jie's five-body throw.

Cai Hedao: With this little compass, we won't go in the wrong direction. At least not, regardless of east, west, north and south. As long as there is enough food and fresh water. No matter how far you go, you'll get it back.

Then Zhang Jie put sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn. The leaves, shapes, eaten parts. All the drawings were shown to everyone and explained one by one.

Zhang Jie was in the county government of Huangxian County, and he had been talking to this group of illiterate people for three days, and he had washed the brains of these people for three days. Zhang Jie felt more tired than leading troops to fight.

When he was about to leave, Zhang Jie called ten captains, as well as Cai and several generals, plus a few scribes, two healers, and a few cooks who could give birth to bean teeth.

Zhang Jiedao: There are indigenous people in North America and South America. They have dark skin, like savages. You can trade with them, with some cloth, coins, jade, you can't make sense, but you can communicate with body language.

But when you go out, you must pay attention to safety, and you must not stay away from everyone. If the other party is against you, you can fight back. Protecting yourself comes first. Remember, you can't let someone wreck the boat. When you go ashore, you should also leave some people to guard the boat.

You can buy food from the local natives, but you can't do it, and you can rob it. But it must be guaranteed in safe conditions. There are many seeds in South America. You can all bring back a little.

Promise!

Remember, the crew must drink boiled water, the water has been left on the cabin for a long time, there are bacteria, and drinking raw water is easy to get sick. In the event of a plague. You know what to do, right?

The end will understand. Cai He said.

You should remember that this voyage will take nearly 20,000 miles to reach North America, and it may take more than half a year. There are still more than 10,000 miles from North America to South America, and it will take at least a year to go back and forth. Be ye prepared in your hearts.

But I want to believe that you will be able to come back.

Remember, eat more green vegetables with leaves, and you won't get scurvy. Even if it's the wild vegetables of the island. As long as it's not poisonous.

Promise!

Passing by Dongying, don't care about him, and don't conflict with them for the time being. But beware of them robbing.

Promise!

Another few days of training on a new ship. Ten days later, in early July, the fleet finally departed. on every ship. Comes with a two-bed crossbow. Dozens of crossbows. Each person has a ring-headed knife. It's the strongest firepower in the world. There is also a small boat attached to the stern of each boat for easy access to the island.

There were fifty or sixty tons of cargo on each ship, and each person had an average of more than 1,000 catties of grain, enough for them to eat for two years. There is enough fresh water to drink for half a year. Of course, taking a bath will not work.

There are also a lot of mung beans, tea, jerky. Mung beans are eaten with raw beans and teeth to supplement vitamins and prevent scurvy. Tea is also good at preventing scurvy.

There is also a lot of charcoal. Zhang Jie made an iron stove for burning charcoal for each boat. This saves a lot of work and firewood. Charcoal is also relatively light. Ship to ship with flag command, fire at night! There are also a lot of lamp oil, cotton clothes, and medicinal herbs on board.

In short, Zhang Jie thought of everything he could think of. Try to hope they come back alive.

When the fleet left, Zhang Jie stood at the dock, unwilling to leave.

Jiang Wan said: Lord, they have gone far, I think the lord spent such a big price to let them find seeds, it should be successful.

Zhang Jiedao: The road is far away, and it is difficult to predict. I hope I can come back! All Jay could think of had already told them that there was enough food. As long as the ship doesn't capsize, the chances of coming back are still quite big. Let's hope we can get the seeds back! As long as I bring back one, my efforts will not be in vain.

Gongyan, what's the current situation in Qingzhou? Zhang Jie asked.

Lord, fortunately, in the war years, there was no war, and the people supported it. The landlord family has made Yuan Shao's father and son also very squeezed, and now although the income from land rent is less, the tax is also less.

Yuan Shao's father and son want to fight, and the poor people have no money and food, but in fact, they are not still squeezing these family landlords. In the past, they all supported Yuan Shao, thinking that Yuan Shao was from a family and would consider them. Actually, it's not possible. Unless Yuan Shao doesn't raise soldiers. Now they see it too. The world is as black as a crow. Our taxes are not higher than Yuan Shao's. There are even fewer in many places.

Well, you're quite right. Fighting a war requires money and grain, and Yuan Shao just wants to treat these landlord families as ancestors, and he has to ask them to pay money and grain! Otherwise, what to recruit? Zhang Jie said.

Okay, I'll go back to Luoyang tomorrow. Well done! Govern Qingzhou well. In the future, you will be rewarded with a lot of rewards.

Please rest assured. Yan will.

Zhang Jie and his entourage just returned to Luoyang. Tian Feng looked for Zhang Jie, the lord, and Yizhou to report urgently.

Zhang Jiedao: What's the matter?

Tian Fengdao: Liu Bei took Chengdu, but Pang Xi and others were not convinced. fought a battle with Liu Bei, was defeated, and now runs to Jiangzhou, Ba County. In addition, Ma Teng and Han Sui also fought. It's just that the situation of the battle is unknown.

In fact, it was Liu Zhang who was anxious when he saw Liu Bei's soldiers. Now I also know Liu Bei's ambitions. Wang Ti, Huang Quan advised Liu Zhang to send troops as soon as possible, and to lift the threat as soon as Liu Bei came to Yizhou for a long time, otherwise it would be more difficult to deal with after a long time. Liu Zhang also felt that only force could solve the threat. He sent Pang Xi as the main general, Yan Yan, and Zhang Ren as the deputy general to lead 50,000 troops to attack Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sent Xu Shu to lead 30,000 horses to guard the county and drag Pang Xi. And Zhuge Liang took 10,000 people from Mianzhu to Chengdu secretly. At that time, there were actually more than 10,000 defenders in Chengdu. Enough troops. Who knew that Liu Bei had already bought off Wu Yi, an anti-bone boy.

When Zhuge Liang's soldiers and horses arrived in Chengdu, Wu Yi opened the city gate and let Liu Bei enter the city. When the defenders of the city saw that the enemy army had entered the city, they were in chaos and fled for their lives. Liu Bei easily took the city capital. Liu Zhang, Wang Lei, Huang Quan and others all became prisoners. Wang Lei scolded Liu Bei and was killed by Zhang Fei. The rest surrendered to Liu Bei.

And Pang Xi, Yan Yan, heard that Liu Bei had attacked Chengdu, and they were so frightened that they hurried back to Chengdu. It's a pity that it's late. Chengdu is gone.

And Xu Shu and Guan Yu led the troops to follow them. In the end, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu attacked Pang Xi inside and outside the city of Chengdu. Pang Xi was defeated, and fled to Jiangzhou in Ba County with less than 20,000 men.

Pity Liu Zhang, a good old man, kindly took Liu Bei in, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to occupy Yizhou in more than a year. The father and son have worked hard for more than ten years to cheapen Liu Bei.
