The fleet is about to sail away, the strong men go on the expedition, and their own kings send them off, Li Er stood on the high platform and personally gave Niu Jinda the overseas ship tiger talisman, and the historians of the Yan family recorded this matter in the "History of the Tang Dynasty".

At this time, it was a solemn scene, but Xu Yang scratched his ears and cheeks a little, because he saw that Liu Mengli in the audience was already quietly wiping his tears, as a moral modern youth, Xu Yang is by no means a cold-blooded and ruthless person, for Liu Mengli, he is the closest person to him in this world, and he can't see Liu Mengli sad.

Li Er was still chattering on the high platform and reading out some words of encouragement to the soldiers of the whole army, Xu Yang's heart had flown to Liu Mengli's side at this moment, and he just wanted to comfort and comfort her.

Below the stage were more than 3,000 elite soldiers on the water transferred from all over the country, most of whom were directly dispatched by the Lingnan Naval Division, as well as thousands of shipyard stewards and craftsmen at Taicang Wharf, and everyone looked excited, as if it was a great honor to listen to Li Er's reading.

"I ordered Niu Jinda to be the overseas pioneer general, Xu Yang as the left guard general, Cheng Chumo as the right guard general, led the army of 3,000, overseas to find high-yield deeds, for my Tang Dynasty Qianqiu meritorious service" Li Er was still reading out the will on the high platform, Nuoda's square was actually heard, it was quiet, and Li Er's loud voice could only be heard echoing on the coast.

"Niu Jinda Ling!" After Li Er's encouragement, it was time for the fathers-in-law to announce the distribution of tiger talismans, which were the highest command symbols for marching and fighting.

"Commandment." Niu Jinda was on one knee, wearing armor, and the blood-stained red robe behind him was hunting in the wind, very powerful and domineering.

Bai Mei said angrily: "Ordered Niu Jinda to be an overseas pioneer general, and now he is awarded the Admiral Tiger Talisman, which is admired." With that, he picked up a brocade box and turned out the golden silk, which was wrapped in a delicate Haiyun Tiger talisman with a simple shape.

Niu Jinda held it with both hands, took the tiger talisman handed over by his father-in-law, and shouted loudly, "The minister will bring back overseas high-yield crops, please rest assured." ”

Then there is the ceremony of the right guard general Cheng Chumo receiving the tiger talisman, Cheng Chumo sailed to sea this time, and the Cheng family was very fond of it, not only Cheng Chumo's father Cheng Biting Jin came, but even his two younger brothers, Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chuliang also came, cheering for this brother who was about to sail away.

Then there is the left guard general Xu Yang, at this time all Xu Yang's eyes were attracted by Liu Mengli in the audience, the white-eyed father-in-law handed a tiger talisman to Xu Yang's hand, and helped him fix the somewhat messy armor he was wearing, and read a few words Xu Yang received the order, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response, and at a glance, this Marquis Xu was in a daze, and suddenly coughed a few times dissatisfied, which called Xu Yang to his senses.

Liu Mengli in the audience saw Xu Yang receiving the order, and suddenly couldn't hold back the tears anymore, tears crossed his face, and even the makeup painted to welcome Li Er was spent, Xu Yang was suddenly distressed, Li Er also saw Xu Yang's expression in his eyes, and said: "Boy, you can go down first to comfort your family." ”

Xu Yang was on the verge of amnesty, and hurriedly went down to comfort Liu Mengli.

Then there is the left, center, and right forward, Wei Chi Baolin, Li Chongyi, and Li Dejian won these honors, their fathers are all planned, this time overseas to find crops, once successful, the merit of the fleet is the cause of eternity, and his eldest son will be able to eat and wait for death with this merit in the future, enough to enjoy a lifetime, and even a wife and a child.

Although overseas voyages are risky, there are Guigu disciples to guide them, and the most accurate charts are attached, and the old guys of several families feel that this matter is a joke, and they all have a positive attitude towards the children to put out posters to encourage support.

After Li Er finished announcing the decree, everyone began to board the ship, and the mighty scene was so huge that even Li Er, who had commanded thousands of troops, couldn't help but exclaim.

Many years later, the "Records of the Tang Dynasty" recorded the wonders of the sea ships setting sail at that time and Li Er's shock. "The emperor came to Taicang, watching the sea of countless ships, sailing thousands of miles, exclaiming: hundreds of boats competing for the current, thousands of streams of sailing, this big scene, only countless manpower can do it. -- Excerpt from "The Records of the Tang Dynasty"

The fleet stretched mightily for five miles of the Yellow River, and the entire river was full of ships with sails raised, and the people on the shore were already shocked by this huge momentum.

Niu Jinda boarded the largest main ship, ordered the subordinate to raise the flag, set sail, and saw three junior officers in dark green official uniforms, holding a large blue flag, shaking it upwards three times in a row, and then pointing forward.

Xu Yang has been comforting Liu Mengli, the girl, but how could the untrained girl endure such a parting scene, crying so much, she couldn't persuade her at all, Xu Yang had to promise her that within half a year, she would definitely go back to Chang'an to meet her, which made her stop crying.

The boarding time has come, Xu Yang had no choice but to prepare to board the ship, Liu Mengli pulled his cloak and choked up: "Husband, you must remember to come back." ”

"Yes." Xu Yang nodded vigorously, and boarded the ship with the support of Zhang Er and Liu Qi.

Liu Mengli was still shouting, her weak voice seemed so pale and powerless in front of the huge fleet, even the cold wind of winter could blow her weak voice to pieces, Xu Yang could only vaguely hear some words like "husband writes letters".

The fleet was activated, and without the slightest sense of clumsiness at the tail of a big tail, four destroyers explored the way ahead, followed by hundreds of ships built throughout the Taicang wharf, with sufficient supplies and goods, ready to usher in the first large-scale sailing activity in human history.

The families of the crew on the shore and some of the farewell crowds, Li Er led the civil and military officials to start sacrificing to the sea, several pigs, several sheep, and a lot of chickens and ducks, all of which were poured into the sea in one go, Fang Xuanling began to recite the text, this time Xu Yang didn't have to listen to it anymore.

Wang Fugui stood on the shore and waved a red silk scarf in his hand, which was the communication method he had agreed with his son Wang Anzhu, and saw a red silk scarf flying in the wind on a sturdy sea ship covered with iron nails in the distance.

Although Wang Fugui could no longer see his son, he knew that his son was standing under the ribbon, and he was relieved, and at the same time prayed for the child who sailed away with his loudest voice, hoping that his son could return safely.

Liu Mengli was already crying at this time, not for Xin'er's painting, it is estimated that she will fall to the ground, looking at the farther and farther fleet, Liu Mengli asked Xin'er on the side with tears on her face, "Xin'er, did you say that your husband will come back?" Looking at Liu Mengli's haggard expression, Xin'er was also sad, and she said in the firmest tone: "Young lady, the head of the family will definitely come back, the head of the family is the heir of the Guigu, and nothing in the world can stump the heir of the Guigu." ”

As soon as Liu Mengli heard a few words of Guigu silently recited in his mouth, he said nothing towards the fleet that was about to disappear on the Yellow River.

As soon as Xu Yang got on the boat at this time, his mood was a little low, he now began to wonder if it was the right decision to make his own sea, and Liu Mengli's separation again, without the indifference and ease of the last separation, some were full of thoughts and worries, if it weren't for the death order that the army was strictly forbidden to carry female dependents, Xu Yang really wanted to take Liu Mengli to sea together.

Just as he was feeling a little regretful, he heard a deep voice from above the captain's room.

"The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. Senior Brother Xu, this poem of yours is exquisite, I don't know what to do next? ”

As soon as Xu Yang looked up, he saw Han Yanxuan wearing a dark blue warrior suit, sitting at the highest point of the mast with a long sword on his back, and he didn't mind the biting cold wind on the water at all.

Xu Yang paused, then raised his head, looked ahead, and said firmly: "Goal: Expedition!" A sea of stars! ”RS
