Chapter 11 Landing on the Island
Under the blowing of the south wind, the Shao Si Ming had been sailing north for two days, and although there were wind and waves during the two days, they were all thin waves, and the sea was like a vast and cloudless blue sky overhead, which seemed peaceful and quiet. At this time, the people on the boat, including Zhu Zhu, who was the most uncomfortable, were no longer nervous, and the sea at this time was not as good as the waves that surged from Zhu Fangyi at high tide, and they were as gentle as a patriotic beauty.
However, at this time, Xiong Jing was a little uneasy, he did not know the latitude of Jeju Island, for fear of missing it and sailing to North Korea. At present, there is only one country on the Korean Peninsula, the king is called Run, and the capital of the country is about Pyongyang, and there is no state in the south, only tribes. There are no cities without nations, and it is difficult to trade without cities, and besides, he is not here to trade.
Another concern he had was whether Jeju Island really had 80,000 hectares of pasture at this time. Jeju Island is suitable for horse breeding is the Mongolian judgment, and 80,000 hectares of high-quality pasture is SB's mantra. Whenever District 63 says that horses cannot be raised in the south, Jeju Island will come up with horse breeding, and no one has ever questioned the figure of 80,000 hectares of pasture. If the island is densely forested at this time, it will be doomed.
Standing on the stern deck of the Shao Siming, Xiong Jing did not use the Lu Lijing mirror to search around like the others on the deck. He thought of Jeju Island, which was full of forests, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
"Birds! Bird! The second phase of the cadets on the main deck shouted, a black seagull should be the towering sail of the Curious Young Master, and it swept sharply past the top of the sail, leaving behind a series of loud chirps. The cadets on the deck all followed it all the way to the front of the deck. Hong Mou, who was looking out with Lu Lijing, ran to the stern and laughed before he could speak.
The seabirds flew by, and Xiong Jing was also shocked, which showed that he was very close to the shore. "Let the Xiang Lady go east and find it separately."
"Yui." Hong Mou agreed, and then ordered someone to flag Mrs. Xiang behind him.
The mast was only thirteen or fourteen meters above the sea, and the position of the masthead lookout was lower, and the position that could be seen was estimated to be less than twenty kilometers, and the area where the two ships searched separately would be larger. Sure enough, less than half an hour after the separation, Mrs. Xiang called to indicate that there was land in the east.
"Is it land?" Land and islands are completely different, and if they were land, there would be no other possibilities than Japan.
"Yes......" When Hong Mou replied, the flag of the Lady Xiang came again, this time talking about the island.
"Turn around." One will be land and the other will be an island, Xiong Jing can only decide to turn around and take a look. However, there was already a yaw preparation in my heart, and the Xiang Lady must have seen an island like land, otherwise it would not have reacted like this.
"Great King, not one island, but several islands are connected." After turning, the lookout on the mast finally came with a definite message. Not far away, the lush green islands are not one, but five. And the closer you get, the more broken the island becomes.
"How?" Xiong Jing had a judgment in his heart, but he didn't say it, but asked Wu Qiheng.
"Yangma Island is an island, this should be Yingzhou." Wu Jiheng also had a judgment, "Please turn to 300 degrees for the course." ”
The captain's task is to manage the crew and drive the boat, and piloting is a matter of witchcraft. Hearing Wu Qiheng say this, Hong Mou looked at Xiong Jing again. Xiong Jing nodded and said, "We have already deviated to the east, so we should go to the northwest." ”
"Turn the rudder and sail to 300 degrees." Hongmu quickly issued the rudder order. With the longitudinal sail on the rear mast, the Shao Si Ming began to turn sharply, and the bow of the boat, which had been facing northeast, was now almost turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and was to sail to the northwest.
Shao Si ordered the number to turn, and after the flag was played, Mrs. Xiang also turned. At the same time, the sailors began to turn the truss again, adjusting the sails to the most suitable angle. The south wind was westerly, and the sail area of the sail was already very small, and the sailors tested it for no more than five knots, and sailed until the sun set, and the lookout at the top of the mast found nothing.
Jeju Island is actually between China, Japan and South Korea, the closest to the Korean Peninsula, but only 30 to 40 kilometers, and farther from Japan, about 1 or 200 kilometers; It is the farthest from China, estimated to be seven or eight hundred kilometers. If you just saw Japan, then Jeju Island should be 50 or 60 knots to the northwest, and the speed of more than 5 knots would require 12 or 3 hours to sail. It's been seven hours of sailing now, if you happen to miss it at night......
"Order the sails to be retracted, leaving only the mainmast and mainsail." Looking at the last rays of sunset in the west, Xiong Jing gave such an order. Unable to anchor and stop the ship in the depths of the sea, he could only order the sailors to put in the sails and slow down.
"Collect the sails." Hong Mou bowed his head in understanding, he also had such worries.
"Collect the sails!" After the boatswain on the main deck shouted, the sailor monkeys, who had been transferred from the boat division to serve on the boat, climbed the mast girder and began to collect the sails. These men moved very quickly, and before dark, except for the mainmast and the foresail, the rest of the sails were tightened, and now the speed of the boat was almost drifting with the current, and the speed was reduced to the slowest speed.
"We can land on the island tomorrow." In the restaurant downstairs, Xiong Jing toasted everyone after three meals. Four or five days had passed at sea, and the courtiers had begun to get used to sharing a table with the king, and everyone was overjoyed when Xiong Jing toasted.
"Dare to ask the king, is what you see today as Yingzhou?" Someone asked about Yingzhou. When it comes to maritime affairs at sea, there is always an immersive excitement.
"It's Yingzhou." Xiong Jing replied, he knew everyone's thoughts, and said, "There are no immortals in Yingzhou. ”
"There are no immortals, why ......" The legend that there are three immortal mountains overseas has a long history, even if you look at the right history of the history books, you dare not say that there are no immortals in the world.
"The four islands of Yingzhou, there are only wild people on them, and there are no immortals." Xiong Jing smiled. "If we land on Yingzhou today, the savages on the island will only think that we are immortals."
"Haha......" everyone laughed. Think about it, it is true that only immortals can do it if they go out of Zhu Fang and climb Yingzhou in the fourth day. "The minister is the king. If it weren't for the king, how could my Chu country be where it is today. ”
"The minister is the king." Following Ma Yin, everyone competed with each other, and there was no suspicion of patting horses in the excitement.
"If there were no Chu people, how could my Chu country be where it is today?" Xiong Jing naturally raised the lamp. The three-year war with the state of Qin gave him hope for the state of Chu. The Chu people he spoke of were not only the unruly Chu people who spoke the Chu language, but also the Yue people who dared to die under the rule of the Chu state, the pedantic Lu people, and the 'stupid' Song people, and he was proud of these people.
"Congratulations for those who swear not to obey Qin! Congratulations to those who will never be slaves! The cup of wine was raised higher, and everyone was ignited by his words, and the wine in the cup was drained, followed by hearty laughter and conversation.
Hanging on the sea, drinking with the king, talking about the past of Rong Ma not long after the end, under the pride, the most shy Zuo Shi also drank a few glasses of wine, and then when he recorded, Xiong Jing's words were written crookedly.
"I really don't know when I will fight again." Ma Yin sighed, he had just lamented the years when there were no carriages and only ox carts in the whole city.
"If the Qin people want to fight again, it should be when the winter is frozen." Zhu Zhu was eating tinplate canned food. In the winter of the previous year, the Qin army withdrew, and it was inconvenient for the carriages transporting grain and straw to cross the water, so all of them were burned and tens of thousands of horses were killed. Because it was winter, the horse's corpse had not rotted, so the government made it into canned meat.
"The Qin people's boat master is not better than me, if you cut me again, it should be in winter." Right Shi completely agrees with Zhu Zhu's opinion. "The minister thought that the Qin people would fight again and attack the Zhao State. Zhao has died in Yan State, Yan Prince Dan is eager to restore the country, the King of Qin must help him restore the country, late, Yan people do not think of Ji's surname, Yan land is all owned by Zhao people, and there is no hope of recovering the country. ”
The analysis of the right history and the analysis of the Great Sima Mansion and Zhibisi are the same, but Xiong Qi, the king of Changping, who is the right prime minister, has not sent a message. Although he is only the right prime minister who manages civil affairs, the Guowei Mansion has been under the jurisdiction of Wei Yu, and the Shaofu is personally controlled by Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, but the war involves all aspects, as long as the Guowei Mansion recruits Ding Zhuang, he can always hear some rumors. There is no news now, I really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Qin State.
"I have a sea boat today," Hong Mou drank very little because of moderation, but his cheeks were still red when he was young, which was excited. The young man only felt the blood burning all over his body. "If the Qin State recovers Yan, our army can attack it from the sea."
"There are still few sea boats, and they are not enough to attack." Because Ma Yin cared about Yunma Island, he had an in-depth understanding of the construction of the sea boat.
"The Bohai Sea is an inland sea, if the port of Qi can allow my Chu State Boat Division to dock, the Boat Division should be able to attack Yan." Hong Mou talked about the boat master again.
"The sea boat is all together, and everyone is together, not to mention the boat master? The defense of the state of Qi is not against the land and not the sea, if my Chu Guozhou division from the sea to Qi, the king of Qi will not be able to sleep and eat. If the Qin people send an envoy to say it, the Qi State will refuse our boat master. Qin Fa Zhao, it is difficult to save. "You Shi knew more about the politics between the countries than a young man like Hong Mou, and he concluded that the Qi State would not be happy with the passage of the Chu State Zhoushi.
Another layer of his difficult to say means is that the domestic clans are unwilling to save Zhao, and the Yue people in the south are even more unwilling to save him. At most, the Chu State Boat Division patrolled and cruised on the big river, blocking the Qin State from transporting grain, and it was impossible to really send troops to attack the Qin State cities on both sides of the big river. It is also impossible to attack the old land west of the Dabie Mountain, at least not in the past few years.
"Why do you have to save Zhao by sea," Zhu Zhu, who didn't know how to measure, said loudly. "Entering the river in the chasm is the Qin realm. As soon as our army entered the river, the Qin people would hide in the city and dare not come out, and let me attack. ”
"Ahem," the bell for the midnight shift change rang at this time, Xiong Jing coughed, "It's getting late, and I'm going to land on the island tomorrow, so I'll go back to the cabin to rest first." ”
"Yui. The ministers retired. A group of people got up and shook each other, and the fish came out.
After the bear thorn freshened up, he also went up to the stern tower to sleep. He didn't want to think about anything else at this time, he just hoped that he would have 80,000 hectares of high-quality pasture after landing on the island tomorrow, and then put all the good horses he had collected from all over the island on the island. Ten years of reproduction, tens of thousands of cavalry he dare not think, but one or two thousand cavalry, three or four thousand cavalry he still dares to dream, and these thousands of cavalry used at a critical time will definitely change the outcome of a battle.
