Before you know it, time flies by. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info And this group has been drifting in this vast sea for nearly three months.

In fact, after a month of sailing, most of the people in the fleet had already begun to feel tired or disappointed with the sea.

Because this view of the endless sea is really irritating and makes people feel idle.

Therefore, everyone in the fleet also tried to keep themselves busy, trying not to think about what kind of scenery would be on the other side of the sea.

However, on weekdays, everyone has nothing to do. But there are some crucial issues that need to be addressed.

Because there were so many people on this trip. Although such a large number of people and such a large fleet are already a feat that has never been done before. But the scourge hidden under this fame is the most basic problem of food and clothing for the soldiers.

Because, even if the imperial court prepares enough grain and grass before departure, there will still be a day when it will be exhausted.

However, for this point, Lord Zheng, who is proficient in navigation, and the group of Persians beside him have already come up with a plan to deal with it.

I saw that on the surface of each of these ships, if there was a useless or empty place for light, a space had been cut off and filled with a foot of earth, which had been used for farming.

Every seven days, it is necessary to water the water with secret water to make the plants grow quickly.

The reason why the imperial court spent so much effort to forcibly plant vegetables and on the surface of the ship was because if the soldiers did not eat vegetables for a long time, they would feel tired, weak, weak, and bleeding, and in the long run, it would greatly reduce people's combat effectiveness.

But there is one more question at this time. After all, these vegetables still need to wait until the harvest day before they can be eaten. Therefore, this still cannot solve the fundamental problem of insufficient grain and grass.

As for this question, Master Zheng's meaning is very clear.

In the vast sea, there are two inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

One is the fish swimming in the sea, and the other is the scorching sun in the sky.

The combination of the two has become a must-eat for more than 27,000 people.

Therefore, this work of casting nets to fish, slaughtering and drying has naturally become a task that soldiers must do every day.

But in this way, although the problem of food and grass supply is solved, the disgusting smell that permeates everyone's side, even when the wind is blowing, is still blowing....

And such a bad smell, at the beginning, really made several girls on Qianshandu suffer.

.....

On the other hand, due to the boredom of the years in the sea, the nerves of this group of soldiers began to become sensitive.

Even if there is a deserted island on the surface of the sea on weekdays, or even if there is a group of novel fish in the sea, it will cause everyone to cry out for joy.

Because people are so tired of this blue ocean that they want to see everything beyond it.

Therefore, not to mention that at this moment, the place in front of the group of people, with no border in sight, can be called a large island on land.

And some soldiers even wondered if the land in front of them would be an undiscovered land similar to the land of the Central Plains.

However, according to the nautical chart in the hands of Zheng Daren, the sea area where everyone was located was called the Java Sea. And within the beach in front of you, behind the lush mountains and forests, there is a country, a country that does not belong to the Ming Dynasty.

....

At this moment, the sky was already dark.

And the sixty-three warships of our army have already docked side by side along this stretch of coastline for several miles, waiting for the instructions of Lord Zheng.

But in fact, long before the Ming army ordered the docking, there were more than a dozen simple fishing boats docked on the shore here, as well as three merchant ships.

These rudimentary fishing boats were supposed to be used only by local fishermen to go out to fish.

But these three merchant ships are a little strange.

Because judging from the shipbuilding technology alone, the style of these three wooden ships is obviously from the hands of craftsmen from the Central Plains.

Moreover, on the mast of each ship, a flag embroidered with Chinese characters was hung.

It is clear that these three ships are from the Central Plains, to say the least.

So, after the soldiers of the Ming army noticed these three ships from their homeland, they decided to come forward and ask about it.

......

Subsequently, according to some of the remaining crew members of the merchant ship, there is indeed a country on the land in front of them, the name of the country is Java, there are tens of thousands of residents, and it can already be called a country of one side.

But at this moment, Shi Wuwei, who was at the bow of the ship, stopped to watch, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

He remembered that after the current saint, that is, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, ascended the throne, he ordered the closure of the sea, and did not allow fishermen to go out to fish, let alone merchants to go out to sea to trade.

And after learning about the attitude of the imperial court towards the merchant ships in front of him, he was even more puzzled.

Because the imperial court not only did not order the expulsion or arrest, but exchanged some goods with some people on the merchant ship and inquired about some news, and that's it.

Shi Wuwei didn't understand why Lord Zheng would turn a blind eye to these forbidden merchant ships.

In fact, he had never been able to see the man on the only treasure ship.

recalled that three months ago, after the so-called battle to attack the island, he had asked Mo Changkong, who was known as 'Bai Xiaosheng', about some news about those pirates.

And according to the description in the other party's mouth, no one seems to know what kind of news that Lord Zheng, whose cultivation is unfathomable, asked from the mouths of those pirates.

All one knows is that on a few nights during these three months, there were always a few corpses, a few pirate corpses, floating on the silent sea.

For this matter, Shi Wuwei still hasn't been able to come up with a reason.

He didn't understand that since Lord Zheng had been ordered by the Holy Lord, he had come to search for Emperor Jianwen's whereabouts. Then why did he do such a thing, killing people and destroying his mouth.

"Could it be that Lord Zheng has already gotten some unpopular news from those people's mouths?"

"Or is there something he doesn't want someone on the ship to know?"

However, just when Shi Wuwei was still thinking about why Lord Zheng behaved like that on the bow of the boat, the scene that happened in front of him made his brows begin to wrinkle deeply.

Because, at this moment, he was seeing that directly in front of the coast below, on the yellow mud avenue between the mountains and forests, there were more than ten crew members of the Ming army, desperately rushing towards the shore.

And these crew members, without exception, are already injured.

One of the crew members had blood on his entire right arm.

Another crew member already had an arrow feather stuck in his left leg.

Another crew member was holding his left ear tightly with his left hand, and blood was pouring out between the fingers of his left hand.

Shi Wuwei remembered that these crew members entered the mountain forest at dusk.

He still remembers that the crew at that time had nearly 200 people.

At this moment, only a dozen people have returned.

Therefore, this can only show that the other more than 100 people are likely to be unable to come back.

"Hurry up and report to Lord Zheng!! There are enemies!! ”

"As soon as we came out of the mountains and forests, those people didn't even ask, and they killed us directly!!"

"Only a dozen of us escaped!!"

"We have reported our identity as the Ming Army, but they still haven't stopped!! Obviously, I didn't put the saint in my eyes!! ”

…..

As soon as these excited sailors returned to the shore, they were already supported by our soldiers, asking why.

And when the soldiers on the shore below learned about this, they directly sent a person and quickly rushed to the treasure ship where Lord Zheng was.
