On the sea, the eyes are far away, the world is vast, even if Li Zhe's huge fleet is only like a drop in the ocean here. Now, they are walking in the Mozambique Strait in later generations, where it is called the Qiongzhou Strait, taking the infinite heaven and earth, and finally having the meaning of exhaustion.

Then, of course, Mozambique here is not called Mozambique, but is called the Governorate of Qiongzhou, and like the Governor of the Falklands across the sea, before the Kaesong Governorate was opened up, this was the closest area to the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty. The navigators of the Hai and Song dynasties came here by sea, thinking that this place was already the extreme of heaven and earth, and there was no way forward - they did not reach the Cape of Good Hope, and of course they did not go around the Cape of Good Hope and see the miracle on that side. Therefore, it was named Qiongzhou.

This Fang Zhuhai can be said to have something to do with Fang Hong's Fang family, and it is precisely by relying on the navigators specially cultivated by Fang Zhuhai's generation of the Fang family that the Fang family extended the footsteps of family colonization to various places and became the well-deserved first maritime family at that time.

Of course, now that nearly two hundred years have passed, the Fang family is no longer as prosperous as it was back then, and Qiongzhou is no longer the most marginal of the Great Song Dynasty, and now the southwesternmost part of the Great Song Dynasty's territory should of course be Kaicheng.

"Dudu, the fleet is still going to dock on the Falklands, let's go fight the autumn wind of Lao Lu?"

Li Zhe was watching the scenery on the bridge, and Lord Liu Xun leaned over and said.

The fleet passes through the Qiongzhou Strait, and on the other side is the Falklands, compared to the Qiongzhou, the Falklands is the most successful one of the colonies opened up by Tianzhu in Yanzhou before, probably because of the geographical advantages, or because of the special climate of the Falklands, the colonization process of the Falklands is far smoother than the other colonies in the entire eastern Yanzhou.

After a hundred years, the island is said to have been quite interesting, the governor of the Falklands is simply the emperor of the island, Li Zhe requisitioned the materials of the Falklands with the respect of the governor of the metropolitan government, and the current governor of the Falklands dared not be happy, and the lawsuits were fought to the eldest princess.

The surname of the governor of this island is Lu, which is the old Lu in the mouth of Lord Liu.

Listening to the tone, the relationship between Lord Liu and this old Lu is quite good?

However, Li Zhe would never send him to the door to see that old Lu, Li Zhe was afraid that he would not be able to help but act when he saw this Falklands governor, and I was afraid that there would be a lot of turmoil at that time.

Liu Jueye saw that Li Zhe didn't go, it was a pity,

"Hey, this Falklands is a great place! The island is only an island, there are four distinct seasons, there are volcanoes on the island, there are forests, and all kinds of unique and beautiful scenery, the island species are unique, there are many animals and plants that have never been seen elsewhere, I have admired it for a long time, but it is a pity that it has been a sonorous side, it is a pity! ”

Lord Liu listened to it with pity.

In fact, Li Zhe also has some regrets, Nama Island is the Madagascar of later generations, and it is also a world-famous tourist attraction in later generations. There are many places on the island that are worth visiting.

It's a pity that I don't have time now!

In this era, they have to go all the way to Jinling, in this era, all of a sudden to walk such a long sea route, even if this way is through the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, are familiar roads that sea ships are used to, this road is far away, and it is enough for them to drink a pot.

I also want to go to the Falklands, this Lord Liu has a really big heart. Is it really smooth sailing and won't you get tired?

After crossing the Qiongzhou Strait and passing next to the Comoros Islands, the next stop of the fleet was to dock at Ping'an Port for replenishment, which was later known as Dar es Salaam, the capital of the later African country of Tanzania, the largest city and port, the shipping hub in the western Indian Ocean, and the only decent city in the country, and the famous Tanzania-Zambia Railway in later generations also started here.

It's just in this world, here is the city built by the Song people, when the Song people came here by sea, they found that this place was important on the sea road, when this place was just a primitive desolate bay, and now the Song people built it into a pearl on the Western Ocean, a necessary place on the Western Sea Road.

So it became the peace of the Song people.

Ping'an Port met Li Zhe's fleet, and it was also a lot of work. Li Zhe's fleet included not only the personnel who accompanied him north to Jinling, but also the merchant ships that returned to Tianzhu from Kaesong, and these ships loaded supplies from Tianzhu all the way south to Kaesong, and now it was just right to take advantage of Li Zhe's fleet to return to Tianzhu.

This saves the merchant shipowners the money to ask the dart bureau to escort them, and these shipowners have a good idea.

Li Zhe's fleet includes one of the sailor's own warship, a cruiser of 1,500 materials, and three armed merchant ships sent by the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, although they are not as sharp as the sailor's warship, but they also have dozens of cannons planted each, and the power at sea is not inferior to the sailor's cruiser, but it is much faster than the cruiser.

With such a safe and reliable thigh, of course, these merchant ship owners will not fail to hug.

After several days of busy work in Ping'an Port, the fleet was replenished, and even the crew on board was also renewed, and the Governor of Ping'an was not as full of resentment as the Governor of Qiongzhou and the Governor of Matsushima.

Because Ping'an is far away from Kaesong, Li Zhe did not call Ping'an's manpower and material resources too much, but due to the large-scale development of Kaesong, in the past six months, the fleet full of materials from the north to the south has to dock at Ping'an Port.

So how could he complain about the governor of Ping'an—he wished that Kaesong would continue to be so lively.

Starting from Ping'an again, passing through the Zanzibar Islands, Chakchak Island, and then passing through Mombasa, this is another large port that is not inferior to Ping'an, when the Song people went south, it took great difficulty to take it from the hands of the Heavenly People, and was changed to the Viceroyalty of Kenzhou.

Li Zhe had already finished resupplying safely, so he did not stop in Kenya, and continued north along the coastline, passing through Mogadishu (Hama), Salalah (Saigang), Karachi, and finally returned to Mengzhou.

At this time, it was already September, and nearly a year had passed since Li Zhe went south to Yanzhou at the beginning of the year.

On the port, the eldest princess Zhao Jieyu, who went to greet her in person, saw Li Zhe again, her eyes full of tears.

Li Zhe went up and hugged the princess,

"Jieyu, I'm back!"
