In the eighth year of Kaiyuan, on the third day of February, Wanghai City Wharf

At this moment, the wharf of Wanghai City can be described as a sea of people, including officials, businessmen, martial artists, literati and scholars, and more ordinary people.

Not long after, a group of sergeants dressed in black and gold-rimmed military uniforms walked towards the dock, and when they saw this group of sergeants, the people on the pier got out of the way, because this group of sergeants was not simple.

As we all know, the Great Qin Empire advocates black, Yunyi's dragon robe is mainly black, and the military uniforms on the sergeants of the Great Qin Empire are also black, but in the Great Qin Empire. Among the army, there is a very special army, that is, the army that is specifically responsible for guarding the imperial capital, this army is called the Praetorian Guard by the outside world, and the military uniforms of the sergeants in the Praetorian Guard are black and gold-trimmed, reflecting the difference between the Praetorian Guard and other armies of the Great Qin Empire.

The Praetorian Guard is responsible for guarding the imperial capital, and the responsibility is heavy, only the emperor Yunyi of the Great Qin Empire can be mobilized, but now there are Praetorian Guards appearing at the dock of Wanghai City, which can only mean one thing - Yunyi is here.

Yes, Yun Yi, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, came, and Yun Yi brought the emperor and queen Shangguan Yuling to the dock of Wanghai City.

Today is a very special day, at the dock of Wanghai City, there are more than ten ships docked, including the largest steamer that the Great Qin Empire can build, the Kanzi-class steamer, and today's protagonist is a fleet composed of three Kanzi-class steamers.

Under the escort of the female guards, Yun Yi and Shangguan Yuling were about to walk to the end of the dock, and Yun Yi could clearly see the "behemoth" Kanzi-class steamer docked at the end of the dock.

Below the Kanzi-class steamship, there were many people with very excited faces standing, looking at Yun Yi who was walking towards this side, and their emotions seemed to be about to be uncontrollable.

Seeing Yun Yi approaching, they all bowed to him: "Xiaomin to meet Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live a long life." ”

"Excuse me, Wang Ertao, how are you ready?"

Wang Ertao, who was already middle-aged, raised his head and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready, Your Majesty is here in person, this trip will definitely be a success!" ”

"Okay, it's good to have self-confidence, and when you return, I'll be alone for you and the others to celebrate the feast." Yun Yi smiled.

"Xiaomin will live up to His Majesty's high expectations." Wang Ertao said goodbye.

"It's not too early, let's set sail!"

"No."

Under the gaze of Yunyi and thousands of people on the dock, Wang Ertao and the others boarded the three Kanzi-class steamers respectively, and a moment later, black smoke came out of the chimneys erected on the three ships.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Three whistles sounded, the crew of the ship and the people on the dock waved goodbye to each other, and then the three Kanzi-class steamers slowly left the dock and headed for the sea.

Yun Yi watched the three ships leave, but his mind was the entire ocean.

The land of Shenzhou is very large, but the ocean beyond the land of Shenzhou is even bigger, and the entire land of Shenzhou is surrounded by the boundless ocean.

From the Yun Clan's Ship Administration to the Great Qin Empire's Ship Administration, Yun Yi has never stopped exploring the sea.

At the beginning, the Yunhua Yun clan was just a family with very weak force (single reference to martial arts), and there was not even a congenital grandmaster, but with the discovery of high-grade medicinal materials on the island in the middle of the sea by the Yun clan, the Yun clan's force increased rapidly.

Industrial development is important, but force cannot be pulled down, and sometimes armies armed with firearms are not absolutely invincible.

For more than ten years, the Yun clan has been exploring the sea, the fleet has been as far away as the sea area two thousand miles away from the land of Shenzhou, but it is more difficult to go a little farther, after years of exploration, the Great Qin Empire shipmaster found a serious problem, the farther the fleet is from the land of Shenzhou, the greater the wind and waves in the sea, the higher the probability of being attacked by the giant beasts in the sea, the weather in the sea is more unpredictable, and only larger ships can explore the depths of the sea.

Although the Great Qin Empire's exploration of the depths of the sea was relatively slow, the exploration of the waters around the land of Shenzhou was relatively fast.

It is now the eighth year of Kaiyuan, and the fleet of the Great Qin Empire's shipyard circled the land of Shenzhou from the south and north directions to explore the oceans, and finally arrived at the open sea of the Daji Empire, the easternmost part of the land of Shenzhou.

Wang Ertao led the fleet to set off, and the task of the fleet was to sail around the land of Shenzhou, first to the south, then to the east, then to the north, then to the west, and finally to the south back to Wanghai City.

This task is a very difficult task, the land of Shenzhou is vast, and if a fleet wants to wake up the land of Shenzhou for a week, it will have to sail at least 60,000 miles, and even if the Kanzi-class steamship sails day and night, it will take at least two months.

Wang Ertao's fleet is sailing in the outer area of the offshore area of the land of China, there are still many risks, and the journey of more than 60,000 miles makes it very difficult to sail around the land of China, but Wang Ertao is the first captain to apply to the shipmaster to carry out the mission (uh, the name is awkward), and the application was finally approved by Yunyi.

After several months of preparation, the Great Qin Empire's shipmaster finally assembled a fleet of crews who were willing to sail around the land of Shenzhou for a week, and Wang Ertao became the captain of this fleet.

Now that Wang Ertao's fleet has set off, the people on the dock slowly dispersed after seeing that the fleet in their field of vision had disappeared, but Yun Yi and his party turned to inspect the Wanghai City Shipyard.

In the sea, the crew of Wang Ertao's fleet became calm from the initial excitement, and the excitement of the crew was mostly because of Yun Yi's personal arrival, and it was an honor for ordinary people to be able to see the emperor of the Great Qin Empire with their own eyes.

Wang Ertao's fleet has just set sail, and there are still more than 60,000 miles ahead of the fleet to sail, although the "predecessors" have explored a safe route, but accidents may occur at any time, and the crew also need to be cautious, not to accidentally throw their lives in the sea.

On the main ship, Wang Ertao, who was idle and didn't have much to do, returned to his old business and walked up to the lookout with a monocular to observe the situation in the surrounding waters.

Wang Ertao was also a legendary figure in the Great Qin Empire's shipmaster, and was a role model for many new crew members who joined the Great Qin Empire's shipmaster.

At the beginning, Wang Ertao was just an ordinary lookout on the Tanhai steamer, and as Wang Ertao successively discovered Yunyong Island and Yingzhou, Wang Ertao, who won a large amount of bonuses, gradually became famous, and Wang Ertao was also appreciated by the ship's senior management.

Wang Ertao was not carried away by the large bonus, Wang Ertao wanted to make himself a captain and steer his own ship to sail on the sea...... [.]
