On the blue sea, a fleet of warships is slowly moving forward, Zhao Jia stood on the deck and looked at the scenery at the bow of the ship, his face also showed a look of fascination, the reason why he applied for the Naval Academy before was because he was particularly obsessed with the sea, the vast sea was extremely mysterious in his eyes, and he wanted to use his own hands to personally unveil the mystery of the ocean.

"Brother Jia, what do you want?" At this moment, Zhao Jia heard a person's voice behind him, and then saw a young man who was about the same age as him, but very tall and sturdy, walking over, also holding the side of the boat and looking into the distance.

"Nothing, just wondering what's at the end of the ocean? My father said that the world is very big, but more than seventy percent of it is an ocean, and there must be a lot of secrets hidden in such a vast sea, and just thinking about it in my head is enough to make people feel very excited. Zhao Jia glanced at the other party, then continued to look at the mysterious sea, and said with a fascinated expression.

"You're really fascinated by the sea, but although the sea is mysterious, it also comes with countless dangers, so you have to be prepared for that." I saw a tall and sturdy teenager reminded with a smile. His name is Yang Shiliang, is Yang Huaiyu's second son, just the same age as Zhao Jia, the two were classmates in elementary school, and they are also very good friends, and it is even more coincidental that both of them are very interested in the navy, so they applied for the Naval Academy last year, and now they are second-year students of the academy.

"Of course I know there are dangers, but it is these dangers that make the sea even more fascinating, and since I was a child, I have dreamed of one day being able to gallop on this vast sea, and now I have finally fulfilled this wish." Zhao Jia smiled at this time and said, although he is the prince of the king. But for him, no status is as attractive as this mysterious sea.

"I don't understand what your mind thinks, anyway, I only joined the navy to make a contribution, my grandfather and father were both army generals, and no one was afraid of fighting on the ground, but if they went to sea. That's blind, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, don't look at my father's majesty in the army, but he is afraid of water, if you throw him into the water, he will definitely sink to the bottom like a scale. When Yang Shiliang said the end, he couldn't help but smile a little, he was a heartless character, and even his father dared to make fun of it.

"Haha. I didn't expect General Yang to have such a weakness. Zhao Jia couldn't help laughing when he heard this, in his impression, Yang Huaiyu was almost an all-round general, no matter what situation he faced, the other party was calm, but he didn't expect to be afraid of water, he really wanted to see what the other party looked like after falling into the water?

"Hey, what are you two talking about so happy?" At this time. Zhao Jia and Yang Shiliang suddenly heard a person's voice behind them, and then saw a short stature. But a very sturdy young man walked over with a big smile on his face.

"We just saw a mermaid in the sea." Yang Shiliang probably didn't want others to know about his father's troubles, so he smiled and changed the topic, he knew that the guy in front of him would definitely be interested in this topic.

"Mermaid! Where is it? Where is it? Sure enough, as soon as this sturdy young man heard the word mermaid, his eyes lit up, and he rushed to the side of the boat and looked down. It's a pity that he only saw an endless sea of water after looking at it for a long time, which made him glare at Yang Shiliang and said, "Shiliang, are you bastard lying to me again?" ”

"Hahahaha~" Seeing each other's appearance, Zhao Jia and Yang Shiliang couldn't help laughing together, this tough young man is named Li Cheng. At the same age, he was also born in Jiangmen, and like Zhao Jia, he was a student of the Naval Academy, and this guy is a color blank, he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, what is even funnier is that he firmly believes in the legend of the mermaid, and his biggest dream is to catch a mermaid and go back to warm the bed, and even a large part of the reason why he participated in the Naval Academy is that he wants to find the mermaid in person.

Seeing the appearance of Zhao Jia and Yang Shiliang, Li Cheng shouted angrily, and stepped forward to fight with Zhao Jia and Yang Shiliang, the three of them grew up together, and it is very common for them to fight and make trouble, especially after coming to the sea boat, they are enclosed in a small space, which makes the three of them can only pass the boring time in this way.

After arguing for a while, the three of them lay on the side of the boat and continued to look at the sea in front of them, only to see Li Cheng suddenly smile and say: "Brother Jia, I heard that there are many foreign beauties in Nanyang City where we are going, I must see it this time, if I can accept a few foreign concubines, it would be better!" ”

"Color!" Zhao Jia and Yang Shiliang said almost in unison, Li Cheng is good at everything, and his grades in the Naval Academy are also very good, and even the two of them are ashamed of themselves in some aspects, but he only has one shortcoming, that is, he is lustful, don't look at him is only fifteen years old, but he has already made his personal maid have a big belly, and now he is a father, and this guy is not taboo in meat, especially interested in foreign beauties, and even mermaids want to, not to mention whether there are mermaids in this world, Interracial broad-mindedness alone is not something they can understand.

Originally, Zhao Jia studied at the Naval Academy in Guangzhou, but the admirals could not only learn theory, but also practical operation, so a month ago, the first batch of 200 students went to sea with a naval fleet, all the way to the south to Nanyang Port.

Nanyang Port is the southernmost port established by the Great Song Dynasty in Nanyang, and this port is actually located at the eastern exit of the Strait of Malacca, which is the location of what was later Singapore. Zhao Yan has long known the importance of the Strait of Malacca, so he has always wanted to control the Strait of Malacca in his hands, but the local native kingdom of Malacca has been operating locally for many years, and there are many ports in the strait controlled by the native people.

Speaking of the establishment of Nanyang Port, it is not an easy task, the Strait of Malacca was originally a golden waterway, the local natives relied on this waterway to accumulate a lot of wealth, so for the sudden intervention of the Great Song Dynasty, they naturally would not agree, for this reason they had organized a fleet several times to fight with the navy of the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately although there were not many warships of the Great Song Dynasty, but the combat effectiveness was extremely strong, each time the native fleet was defeated, after these several lessons, the native people in the Malacca area were honest, At the same time, it also acquiesced in the rule of the Great Song Dynasty over Nanyang Port.

Zhao Jia they heard of Nanyang Port when they were in Guangzhou, although the port was established for a short time, but because the geographical location is too important, so the Great Song Dynasty also invested a lot of manpower and material resources, so that the development of Nanyang Port is extremely rapid, just a few years has become one of the core ports of the Great Song Dynasty in the Nanyang area, in addition to Zhao Jia remembers, his father once asserted that in the future, Nanyang Port will surpass the deep-water port and become the largest port in Nanyang, and can even be compared with Guangzhou Port.

The fleet has been out of Guangzhou Port for a month, and the route from Guangzhou to Nanyang Port has long been figured out by the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, and the ships come and go very frequently, according to the speed of the warship, they should have arrived at Nanyang Port a long time ago, but Zhao Jia They are not only to reach Nanyang Port this time, but mainly to let them learn all the knowledge related to the ocean, so this way is also stop-and-go, so that they can be familiar with the situation of this sea route, Sometimes Zhao Jia and the other students will be assigned to the same boat, and the whole boat will be piloted by them and the students, so as to increase their practical experience.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Jia and their fleet are also stop-and-go, and even when passing by the deep-water port of Yuezhou, Zhao Jia and they also boarded the port to play, originally he heard that his second uncle Zhao Hao was also in Yuezhou, but unfortunately Zhao Hao took people to Shenglong Mansion at that time, so Zhao Jia also failed to see each other, but this is a good thing for Zhao Jia, because he doesn't like his second uncle very much, and even when he was in the capital, Zhao Hao's son Zhao Yu often had conflicts with him, and he didn't know how many times he fought. And he also knew that his father's relationship with Zhao Hao was not very good, so it would be embarrassing not to see each other now.

After leaving the deep-water port, Zhao Jia and their team sailed for more than a month, and finally came to Nanyang Port, when their fleet came to the open sea of the port, they saw that the sea here was full of all kinds of sea ships, including not only the sea ships of the Song people, but also many sea ships of the Hu people.

The style of these Hu people's sea ships is strange, and the experienced old navy around Zhao Jia can even know where the Hu people are on the ship just by the shape of these ships, Zhao Jia humbly asked for advice before he knew that the Hu people here drank a lot, but they were mainly Tianzhu and Persians, and Tianzhu and Persians were just a general term, and they had more detailed divisions within them, which Zhao Jia needed to learn in the future.

The navy stationed in Nanyang Harbor also got the news of the arrival of Zhao Jia's fleet in advance, of course, they only knew that this fleet had brought a group of cadets from the Naval Academy to come for internship, and they didn't know who was among the cadets, especially Zhao Jia's identity, which was strictly kept secret, except for a few insiders, others didn't know at all, and even the vast majority of the cadets didn't know that Zhao Jia was the son of Zhao Yan, the king of Yue.

However, just when the fleet was about to sail into the military port next to the port, they saw a battleship suddenly rush out of the military port, and the flag bearer on the battleship also kept waving the flag to them, and when Zhao Jia and the others saw the flag, everyone was stunned, because the other party actually asked them not to enter the port, as if there was something important that needed the assistance of their fleet.
