"The military chief's hometown is also north? Alas...... I've met that emperor once, what do you say? That's not a man, it's a god! At least eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist! Don't look at his small eyes, that is invisible to us mortals, there is another eye on his head, which can see through people's hearts and souls! ”

It is said that he was a disciple of the Taishang Laojun, who turned into a god rat and descended to earth to relieve the suffering of the world...... Don't pout, he has such a big rat head on his back, it is so colorful, every time he casts a spell, that rat head comes to life......"

"If you don't believe it, there is more than one person who has seen the divine mouse on his back, many maritime merchants of the strait company have run across the sea with this emperor, as long as he is on the ship, he will not have waves all the way, the wind and waves will not be frightened, and he can sail to the Great Food Country with his eyes closed! Why else did the warships of Jinhe Kingdom hang a rat flag, and did anyone use a rat as a flag? That's a rune! ”

Most people have a gossip heart, but it is generally buried in the depths of the heart, as soon as He Jinrong talked about Hong Tao, he immediately dug out this heart, and what he said is called a vivid one, you can't believe it if you don't believe it. In fact, only half of his words are true and reliable, that is, he has really seen Hong Tao once, but in the port of Kalamba, a few glances from a distance.

“…… No wonder he was able to beat hundreds of ships of the Mongolian sailors with a dozen ships...... Don't you know that during the Three Kingdoms Naval War, our sailors encountered a remnant of soldiers! Those Mongol sailors were driven mad by the emperor you mentioned, and they did not dare to close their eyes on the sea for days and nights. They had been beaten since they came out of Dengzhou, if it weren't for the emperor's desperate attempt to stop the Mongol sailors from going south. Those hundreds of Mongol warships couldn't even touch anyone. That's it. All the way down. Nearly 700 big ships, all new ships with cannons, when they arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, there were more than 300 left, which made our sailors of the Great Song Dynasty pick up the cheap! "Gossip is a thing that is easier to accept than the truth in many cases, and after listening to He Jinrong's description, Wujun almost believed it. He also added a piece of corroboration.

"That's it, you ask him if he will come with a warship to fight us, if he wants to come, we won't be able to get here...... Leave it to fate! He Jinrong is no stranger to the situation of the Three Kingdoms Naval War, so many volunteers are watching the battle, and after coming back, it is a good conversation, every time he drinks beautifully, he has to brag about it, the court can be blinded by others, and it is impossible to dream of maritime merchants.

"Then I don't understand, why are you wading through this troubled water? Is it worth risking your life to be a right man? I advise you. Don't let your son take office, being an official is not something that a rootless grass-headed person like us can do. Even if I went, there was no good fruit to eat. Wu Juntou felt that this He Jinrong suddenly became a little weird, a few days ago he was like a confused old man with interests in his heart, but today he is not confused when he speaks, he understands everything, why do you still come to do this?

"Hey, hey, hey...... Okay...... My son might even be a tipster! Life? Swap my life for the development of their families, it's worth it! Come, rudder to the left, let's lean to the side, offend the tax ship, and the battleship will soon come out! He Jinrong not only did not let Wu Juntou's words frighten, but was quite proud, as if his son had become a big official, and he almost couldn't laugh out loud. Seeing that the tax ship was left behind, He Jinrong commanded Wu Juntou to the left to rudder, trying to keep the ship against the south side of the waterway, as if he could avoid the warship by being so far away from the port of Malacca.

"Hahaha...... It's just a pirate ear, how can it be my **** enemy of the kingdom! What a head, sail back to the middle, I want to see if their warships dare to fire at the official's flag! This time, He Jinrong guessed wrong, the tax ship did not receive the tax, and it had already waved the flag, set off a fireworks signal, and asked the port for help. It was also seen on the fort in the harbor, but when the ships at the tail of the fleet had sailed through the port of Malacca, there was no sign of the battleship. At this time, Shi Hong and Zhao Anke, who were still a little worried, came to life, and commanded He Jinrong to sail the fleet back to the middle of the channel with a shout, and they were a little bit of a bit of love for whom.

"Lao He, didn't you say that there was a warship coming out...... Why didn't it come out? "Wu Juntou is even more afraid, he is a person who has seen the royal fleet fighting, and letting those warships target him is more uncomfortable than the taste of death.

"Isn't that a good thing...... If their warships come out to intercept them, it means that they are still planning to reason with us. If you really don't care about it, who knows what kind of trouble awaits you. This is the sea, it is their territory, if you want to calculate our fleet, you don't need to do it here at all, put it on the ocean, once you calculate it, we don't even have a chance to surrender at the port! "He Jinrong is not very afraid of the warships of the Royal Navy, first, he is used to seeing them, and secondly, these warships are reasonable, as long as you don't violate the rules, they never harass passing merchants, and not seeing the battleships makes him even more uneasy.

“…… They don't really want to do anything to us, this is the official fleet......" Wu Juntou was startled by He Jinrong's words, because he could understand what He Jinrong was saying, and he could imagine that kind of scene.

"It's hard to say, what official family is not official on the sea, it's not easy to use! When there is a big storm, the fleet will be gone, or the responsibility will be put on the local natives, and the official family can really send troops to fight these natives? It's all for nothing, no one understands what they say, and it's impossible to ask someone. He Jinrong shook his head and said that Wu Juntou's last hope was gone.

Six days later, the fleet came to the western exit of the Strait of Malacca, and under the guidance of the high lighthouse on the island on the left, Ho Kam Wing led the fleet to turn westward smoothly, and passed the Strait of Malacca safely. Ahead is the rough Indian Ocean, and as long as you can cross it, you can cross the port of Kalamba, which is the gathering place for the goods of the Great Food Country and the Indian Peninsula, where the price of goods sold from the Great Song Dynasty is more than twice as high as that of the Port of Malacca, and the price of some goods purchased is more than twice as low. One out and one in is several times the profit, but all maritime merchants with this condition are willing to come here to trade, even if they take a little risk.

"Lowering the half-sail ......" went on for another half a day, the waves and the wind gradually increased, the sky became darker and darker, and a storm was about to come. This is everyday life in the Indian Ocean, and the weather can change as it is, sometimes two or three times a day. Although Ho has never served as a navigator, he has run this route several times, and he has been here almost every season. Since I bought a new ship built by Zhenzhou Shipyard, I don't have to wait for the monsoon to sail, this kind of ship can sail against the wind, as long as there is a navigator, you can go to the port of Kalamba in any month, it is nothing more than the difference between fast and slow voyage.

"What is the head, why do you want to lower the sails! At this time, it is a tailwind, and it is the right thing to ride the wind and waves! The smooth passage through the Strait of Malacca made Shi Hong and Zhao An feel very good, so they talked a lot and wanted to take care of everything.

"My lord, there will be a strong wind and waves coming soon, and our ship is heavy, and the mast is afraid that it will not be able to eat. The wind and waves here are not as good as those in the east, and the two adults had better go back to the cabin, as it is very dangerous on the deck. He Jinrong's answer was very professional, and by the way, he also reminded Shi Hong and Zhao An to pay attention to safety, which was very caring.

"Hugh more! It's not like I've never been to sea, and it's not like I haven't seen strong winds and waves......" But Zhao An didn't appreciate it, he felt that it would be a loss of face to hide back in the cabin under the gaze of the sailors, and he didn't think that He Jinrong said how terrible the big waves would be.

"What's the head, just drive the boat, and the rest don't bother!" Shi Hong is still a little open-minded, not like Zhao An, but there is also unhappiness in his tone.

"Alas...... Wu Juntou, let's lower the sail, our mast is not thicker than the one on the Jinhe country's boat, let's lower it......" He Jinrong didn't expect that his reasonable suggestion would be exchanged for a scolding, so he had to ask Wu Juntou for help, hoping that he could speak up and lower the sail.

"Old man He, don't look for scolding, we're just cheap, since they're not afraid, let's go like this...... You should always be optimistic about the direction, and the rest is less than good. "Wu Juntou will not say anything like He Jinrong, if he doesn't understand this rule, he would have died a hundred times in the water division, and he didn't have to wait for the enemy to fight, his own people would be able to kill his own people.

It's a pity that the sea doesn't know any Yellow Dragon Banner, let alone Emperor Lizong, not only the wind is coming, but also accompanied by heavy rain, and the sky is as dark as the bottom of a pot. The already not very calm sea instantly turned into a pot of boiling water, and the mountain-like waves pressed over layer after layer, slapped on the hull of the ship and turned into a splash of water flying in the sky, pumping on the face and causing pain.

Soon a ship in the middle of the fleet was hung up by a strong wind and broke its mast, and after losing power, the whole ship began to spin on the sea, and was pushed by the waves and hit a nearby ship, resulting in one sinking and one injury. At this time, they couldn't find Shi Hong and Zhao An anymore, they had already been frightened by the overwhelming waves, and they no longer pretended to be experts, and they all got into the cabin.

"Iniquity...... Sail down! If we don't descend, we'll be all finished, and if you go to Port Calamba, there will be no right lang in my family's third child! Listen to me, drop! "In these conditions, you can't stop the boat to save people, you can't even get close to the injured boat, and once you are pushed by the waves, the two ships will collide together. Seeing that the middle and rear of the fleet were in chaos, all dodging the injured ship, He Jinrong finally mustered up the courage, took out the style of his ship boss, and commanded the sailors to put away the hard sails. With the movement of the flagship, the ships sold later also began to lower the sails, although the speed has decreased, but it is safer.
