It had been two days since Tang Ming's fleet left Nanjing, and the journey was smooth and calm. Freed from the sorrow of parting, Tang Ming returned to temporary peace.

With good wine and beautiful women as company, when you are bored, you will yo-yo the dog and go fishing. In these two days of leisure, the relationship between Tang Ming and Chen Jialan has improved by leaps and bounds, and they have lost their usual rustiness, and they chatted happily when they met.

Once a woman's heart is pried open, it will be out of control, and it is obvious that since Chen Jialan was forced to say 'make a promise by himself', he usually idle, in a daze, there will always be the figure of Tang Ming's kid in his mind. When the spring heart was rippling, every time he met Tang Ming, he showed a shy look.

In fact, Chen Jialan was not because of emotional shyness, but because of the hateful Tang Ming Since he boarded the ship, he only wore a pair of big pants of his own design every day, and he swayed on the treasure ship without regard for his identity. The skin, which used to be fair, has been tanned in the past two days.

Not to mention, it does look much more masculine in this way, Tang Ming always wears nothing, only a pair of big pants, which has a lot of impact on Chen Jialan, who has always lived in the boudoir. Fortunately, most of the sailors in the fleet were dressed the same as Tang Ming.

Chen Jialan has also slowly adapted to it in the past two days, and only then did he show a shy demeanor, at the beginning, Tang Ming's dress was really despised by Chen Jialan for a while.

Lying on the deck of the bow of the boat with Xiaobai comfortably sunbathing, Tang Ming fantasized about his leisurely life in the future. Sleep until you wake up naturally, he is the biggest official in the fiefdom, and no one will take care of him if the emperor is far away.

No one can ride on his head anymore, and a carefree and beautiful life is coming. Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is always cruel, and the sound of the horn suddenly sounded continuously in the calm fleet.

Tang Ming listened carefully for a moment, the happy smile on his face had long since disappeared, and the sound of the horn was one long and two short, which was a signal of early warning.

In this vast sea, it is a two-day voyage far from the interior, and at this moment, the alert personnel of the fleet also issued a warning signal, which can be imagined that they must have encountered pirates.

This fleet can be said to be all of Tang Ming's belongings here, if anything goes wrong, it will be even more serious than killing him.

Quickly turning over and jumping up, Tang Ming had already seen Fei Xin coming in a hurry. Fei Xin was born in Kunshan and grew up in Taicang, an ordinary soldier, a confidant of Zheng He, and his right and left hand when he was shipbuilding and sailing. Now, for the sake of Tang Ming's weak maritime defense force, he was specially sent to assist.

It can also be seen that Zheng He is sincere to Tang Ming, and hopes that he can grow up safely on an overseas island. Tang Ming didn't know anything about navigation, let alone how to form a fleet, how to arrange sailors, how to schedule personnel, and how to be vigilant when sailing.

During the two-day voyage to sea, it can be said that Tang Ming delegated almost all the power to Fei Xin, and everything was arranged by him. Judging from the fleet's orderly voyage over the past two days, Tang Ming's decentralization was a wise choice.

"Tell Hou Ye, the warning ships in front of the fleet and the rear are all alerting at the same time, there are an unknown number of ships approaching our fleet, and the two sides will meet in half an hour, Fei Xin asks Hou Ye to return to the command room!" Fei Xin is just thirty years old this year, probably because of his long-term seafaring, his skin is blackened, and when he speaks, a mouthful of white teeth has become the most attractive part of his body.

Tang Ming knew that he didn't know anything, but as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, when he encountered an enemy situation, even if he really didn't need to command, it was still necessary to make a show. Nodding, he walked silently towards the third floor of the treasure ship.

The original hull of the treasure ship was high enough and large enough, and in the command room on the third floor, you could clearly see the navigation of the entire fleet. However, the distance that the human eye can see is very limited, especially when the weather interferes, and sometimes the eyes are blackened.

Tang Ming only remembered the practical tool of the telescope at this time, because at this moment he was standing by the window of the command room, and he couldn't see anything except his own fleet. Moreover, the personnel in charge of guarding can only see far by climbing high on the main pole.

Seeing nothing, Tang Ming didn't bother to look at it, turned around and asked Fei Xin beside him, "Can the ships approaching us confirm whether they are pirates or not, and how many are there?" ”

Fei Xin is not a good speaker, and he rarely speaks, and he is a stuffy gourd. Suddenly, Tang Ming asked about this, and replied succinctly: "At present, the identity and number of ships are not clear, and they have limited eyesight and cannot see clearly. ”

"How long will it take to figure these issues out?" Tang Ming hated himself again, he didn't make some telescopes when he was in Nanjing, but now it's good, he can't find any materials to make if he wants to use them.

"Master Hou doesn't have to be too anxious, in the waters around my Daming, the scale of our nearly 100 ships can be said to be invincible. Even if there are really any bad intentions on the island that are not long-sighted, when they see the size of our fleet, they will turn away and leave. ”

Fei Xin, who was full of confidence, didn't seem to be worried about the enemy situation at all, but he was a little amused by Tang Ming's worries at the moment. Since Zheng He organized a fleet to sail in the waters around the Ming Dynasty, they had never encountered an opponent.

Later, Zheng He's fleet grew stronger and stronger, and his reputation spread in the nearby seas. When all the islands saw Zheng He's fleet from a distance, they would immediately turn around and run away. They have suffered countless losses, so they will not be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg, and this is not how to find death.

Although Tang Ming didn't know anything about sailing, he always had an ominous premonition at the moment, and he didn't know why, he always felt that something would happen later. He was convinced of Fei Xin's ability, but just in case, Tang Ming still spoke loudly.

"Brother Fei, I am also full of confidence in my Daming fleet, but this will always make me feel restless, besides, all my belongings are here, and there can be no mistakes. You go ahead and take precautions, and if there is any change in the situation, let me know as soon as possible! ”

After listening to Tang Ming's explanation, Fei Xin finally understood why the usually smug Hou Ye showed a worried look when he encountered pirates at this moment, it turned out that his net worth and life were at stake.

Understanding Tang Ming's thoughts, Fei Xin immediately put away his contempt, all of Hou Ye's belongings are in this fleet, even if he Fei Xin is confident in himself, he has to pay attention to it.

Fei Xin knelt on one knee, saluted, and was ordered to go to arrange a guard. As time passed, Tang Ming frowned and looked out the window, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.
