However, it was said that Yang Yi and his entourage passed through the state and county, starting from Chengzhou, passing through Mianzhou and entering the Dayue Kingdom, and then turning eastward from the Dayue Kingdom.

Ten days later, Yang Yi and others had already arrived at the mouth of the sea in the eastern part of the country, --- Yegang.

Located in the eastern corner of the Da Viet country, Ye Gang is a place where the southeastern countries go north and Daguang navigation to the south, and has become a very prosperous commercial port in the southeast many years ago.

Three years ago, after Yang Yi took control of the Great Yue Kingdom, he changed the wild port to a semi-military port, and divided the wild port into two, the west side is a normal commercial port, and the east side is the Shu military port.

The newly-built ship "Red Sun" docked in the military port.

With a hull of 60 zhang long and a width of 32 zhang, the "Red Sun" is the largest known sea ship in the East.

Although the "Red Sun" is still a ship with wood as the main body, Yang Yi ordered a large number of iron sheets to be manufactured from the Wuzhishan New Steel Refinery, wrapping the entire "Red Sun", as if it had become a quasi-steel giant ship.

Yang Yi even wants to directly manufacture pure steel ships, but on the one hand, the Wuzhishan New Steel Refinery does not have such a large production capacity, and the production of these iron sheets alone will almost make the entire refinery run uninterrupted for more than a year to complete. Even if Yang Yi has so much shipbuilding steel, it is not so simple to build a ship that can sail, because the manufacturing technology of steel ships is essentially different from the manufacturing of wooden ships, and I am afraid that no country has mastered this technology in this era.

Although there are some regrets, the "Red Sun" can already be called the sea giant of this world, and no one has ever seen such a huge "iron ship".

Before setting off from Shuzhong, Yang Yi ordered the "Red Sun" to prepare for the voyage, and after Yang Yi and others arrived at Yegang, they only repaired for two days, and then hurriedly took a boat to leave the port.

The "Red Sun" slowly exited the military port, like a giant beast on the sea, frightening the merchants and passengers on the harbor who did not know the reason to avoid one after another, and the many ships accompanying the escort, the scene was extremely spectacular.

Everyone will be inexplicably excited when they take a boat for the first time, and everyone in the Shu army is like this.

However, after the excitement, it is natural to suffer, and after the boat has been traveling for only half a day, the people of the Shu army began to be unable to adapt to the constantly shaking ship, only feeling dizzy in their heads and eyes, and stuffy in their hearts, so uncomfortable.

Yang Yi is okay, after all, he also had the experience of taking a boat in his previous life, although Tie Niu and Murong Sinan are also extremely uncomfortable, they can barely master it by relying on their own profound inside.

But those Shu soldiers who had never waded into the water were miserable, one by one lying on the side of the ship vomiting in the dark, and they couldn't find the north at all, but fortunately, Zheng He and the hundreds of old sailors under him helped and took care of them, teaching these soldiers how to relieve seasickness and adapt to the rhythm of the ship's rocking.

Yang Yi's face turned pale, standing on top of the building and looking at the spectacular scene of all the men below, he frowned and said, "They will be fine, right?" ”

Zheng He on the side replied: "Your Highness, a real sailor needs time to be trained, and this voyage is urgent, and there is no time for these Shu soldiers who have never waded into the water to adapt to the ship, so they are really helpless." However, it will not be too much of a problem, as long as you get through these two days, it will not be a big problem when everyone gets used to the rhythm of the boat's swing. ”

Yang Yi raised his head and saw that the boat was moving along the coast, and the tide was quite turbulent, and he wondered: "How can the waves be so big here?" But where there is a bay? ”

Zheng He glanced at Yang Yi with admiration, and said: "Your Highness really has a lot of knowledge, this is indeed a small bay, the walls of the bay are reverberating around the wall, and the waves are much bigger than other places, as long as you walk out of the bay, you can worry free." ”

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Pass the order, order the soldiers to keep the cabins clean and clean and the air is smooth, don't stay in the cabins for a long time, let them chat more, distract their attention, and feel more comfortable can naturally reduce the feeling of depression." ”

Although Yang Yi doesn't know how to alleviate seasickness, he knows that seasickness and motion sickness are a truth, and the psychological effect and air environment will play a big role.

As time went on, after two or three days, the sergeants' condition had improved considerably, and by the fifth day many of the generals had ceased to vomit and dizziness, and were able to walk on the ships after adjusting to the rhythm of the rocking of the boats.

In fact, what worries Yang Yi the most is not the problem of seasickness among the soldiers, it is a matter of time for the seasickness to be seasick, just adapt to it.

Yang Yi is most worried about the storm at sea.

Storms are the power of heaven and earth, and it is almost late spring at this time, and early summer is approaching, so it is very likely that there will be storms.

In this era, there was no weather forecast, and only the sailing experience of the old sailors was judged, and there were great errors in accuracy and judgment time, and in the event of a storm, although the fleet would not be destroyed, it was inevitable to delay the trip.

However, it can be regarded as a beautiful day, after seven or eight days of travel, the fleet has not met the power of heaven and earth, and seeing that it is about to reach the sea area of Yazhou, on this day, Yang Yi is anxious that the generals from all walks of life will come to discuss and prepare to choose a landing place.

Among Yang Yi's group, Zheng He is quite familiar with sailing experience, but the rest of them know nothing.

"Your Highness, two days further north, we will enter the sea area controlled by the East Naval Division of Yazhou, we have no intersection with Yazhou, it is inconvenient to go ashore, and my subordinates suggest that we choose an island as a docking point in the South China Sea of Yazhou, and then send people to explore the hidden landing place." Jung Hyuk proposed.

Yang Yi felt that Zheng He's proposal was not unreasonable, and nodded: "With such a large fleet of ours entering Yazhou, of course Yu Xiang, the commander of the East Water Division, will not allow us to land, if we can not alarm Yu Xiang and the East Water Division, it would be the best." ”

Zheng He replied: "I have heard from the maritime merchants who have been to Yazhou that there are many islands near the East China Sea of Yazhou, and we can hide the fleet in them, and after the annexation of the state is over, His Highness will send someone to notify the fleet to dock to meet us, and then we can successfully leave." ”

Yang Yi nodded and said: "The order will go down, and in two days, send a small boat to find an island that can hide the fleet, and if you can meet a fisherman's merchant ship, you will bring it to me." ”

The fleet traveled for another day and night, and at noon on the second day, the small and medium-sized ships of Shu broke away from the fleet and went to find a place to dock.

In the afternoon, Yang Yi did not wait for the return of the exploration ship, but Zheng He came to report that there was an abnormality at sea.

Yang Yi hurriedly rushed to the splint to check, but saw countless wooden plank fragments floating on the sea in front of him.

Further on, a large number of floating corpses were found on the sea, some of which were white and swollen from the sea, and had been dead for several days, while others had not dried up in blood, apparently having just died.

Everyone was amazed, Yang Yi sent several realm ships out again, and the fleet gradually slowed down.
