The fleet sailed southward, and when it passed through northeastern Somalia, the monsoon suddenly rose in mid-to-late May, and almost half of the time, day and night, the fleet was passing through the storms and waves, not to mention the small ships of less than 500 tons such as the Guangdong and Guangxi, which were converted into landing ships of large treasure ships, and the 44-foot-long giant ships were thrown up from time to time in the wind and waves like the toys of the sea god......

"It can't be like this! We were all sailing from Cape Asayr in northeastern Somalia to the Gulf of Aden......" Captain Jack, who was on deck helping the sailors with their cables, said to Ding Yi. In this seven- or eight-level violent storm, all people have to do their best, whether it is Ding Yi or Emperor Jing, or that Arab girl, this is the struggle between human beings and nature.

The monstrous waves suddenly threw the entire Guangxi away, and on the Guangxi, which was far shorter than the landing ship, Ding Yi could actually see the top of the main mast of the forty-four-foot landing ship! Then there was a sudden fall, and everyone was pulling on the cables, and the huge waves that split the sky and the earth slammed over and washed away the deck of the ship, so that they could be washed away, and there was no scream, and the water was opened, and the sea water would pour into the mouth, and at the moment when the water choked and suffocated, the waves took the man away, forever.

In the midst of such a storm, no one really cares about anyone. After passing through this storm zone, the loss of the fleet was very serious, three supply ships had been confirmed to be sunk, and one supply ship was missing, and the landing ship converted from the Great Treasure Ship was itself a ship that could only travel along the coast, so in the middle of the sea in the middle of the sea, it was really a feeling of capsizing at any time. Fortunately, it did not sink, but there were still many leaks, but fortunately, Huaxia's watertight cabin technology. After the urgent repair, the problem is not too big.

However, Wan An was soon dumbfounded because Ding Yi was missing.

It should be said that it was when that raging wave hit that everyone on the deck of the Guangxi disappeared.

Except for Jack, because he was helping to fix the sails before that big wave hit. Falling on the deck, Ding saw that his left hand was visibly deformed, and kicked him out of the cabin. So Jack, who fell into the cabin, was scratched a little, but he saved his life.

"Stick to the shore! Can't go any further, can't stay here, maybe the next moment. The storm will come again! He ignored his wounds. ran to the landing ship and stated to Wan An, but his official words would only be a few simple words, and Ding Yi was not there, so he could only compare on the map, hoping that Wan An would understand what he meant.

"Sigong, the student has been messed up, I don't know if there is a good plan?" Wan An smiled and nodded at Captain Jack, after asking someone to take him away. But he turned around and asked Yang Shan's opinion. Yang Shan and Xu Bin, the two old men, no one expected them to go on deck to help. Aside from being soaked and soaked, his hair was dripping, and he had several bruises in the cabin, there were no other problems.

Yang Shan, who looked quite wolf, listened to Wan An's question, and said with a wry smile: "What good plan can the old man have?" In short, if you don't want to die, you can only go to the shore first, according to what the ghost said, just go to the shore, what else is the way? Anyway, the old man really can't go back to Daming, and when he goes back, Ding Ruyu doesn't care about the old man, and Rujin's disciples don't care about the old man, hehe, Rujin's friend will definitely not let the old man live. "The friend of Ding Yi he said is Yingzong.

Xu Bin also shook his head, couldn't help but cry, and sighed: "Xunji, you are a disciple of Rujin, I want to come to Chen Zongzhen outside the Guan, Du Changshi in Guangdong, Master Hu in Guangxi, and Master Yang in Beijing, and they still have some incense with you...... The old man can't go back, he can't be constrained by Jin, which of these is a good person? Do you really think the old man doesn't know? The one-eyed admiral of the Mediterranean Fleet is not the Shunmin Heavenly King of Guangdong back then! Only heroes like Ding Rujin can make these people honest...... Shengtian won't let me go? Si Jing, you think too much, don't talk about the one-eyed Admiral Huang Xiaoyang, the Admiral Zhu of the West Sea, the Admiral of the South China Sea, just Wang Yue Wang Shichang, don't think that you have read the book, and you have played the role of a Jinshi, that person is as deep as the true legend of Jin, and he will never teach me to wait back to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Hearing his words, Yang Shan fell silent, Xu Bin was right, whether it was to vent his personal anger, kill them and give Ding Yi a funeral; Or for the sake of public interest, lest after the news of Ding Yi's death reaches the Ming Dynasty, the forces of Ding Yi's family will be in chaos, and they will have to kill them, even if they falsely report that Ding Yi is fighting overseas, it is 10,000 times stronger than saying that Ding Yi fell into the sea and died.

"After landing, let the old man ......" Yang Shan shook his head and said to Wan An, meaning that they would be left to fend for themselves.

Wan An waved his hand, signaled Yang Shan not to say any more, and ordered the herald: "Flag the word, the landing ship is looking for a harbor in front, and as soon as you have something, rest immediately!" The other ships followed the flagship. "Among the Portuguese sailors, a few of them who could read the charts, were approached by Wan An, and soon they were in the middle of the sea, pointing out the nearest haven to them, and if Ding was present, he would have remembered a name: Seychelles.

This time, perhaps the heavens felt that the lesson for the fleet was enough, and they soon found the island of Mahe, an island in the middle of the sea, near the equator, not in the whirlwind zone. The personnel of the entire fleet all had the feeling of escaping death.

As soon as Wan An stopped at Mahe, he did two things: one was to tie up the Portuguese captives, including Captain Jack, and the second was to set up a beachhead to defend against possible natives. In Arakan, watching the training of the new army at the head of the 40 battalions for so long, and watching the beach-grabbing courses of the 1st Marine Brigade so many times, Wan An still has this awareness.

Then he summoned the officers above the platoon level of the mountain special forces and the sharp blade special forces, and the captains, first mates, and boatswains of each ship to come to the meeting: "Sigong and Lord Xu all thought that something unbearable had happened to Mr., but the students thought that Mr. was lucky and blessed. He looked at the participants and waited, and more than half of them listened to the news of Ding Yi's disappearance, and shook his head secretly with a silent tearful expression. When he just landed, Yang Shan whispered to him, and the wisp of ambition that was quietly buried was immediately extinguished by himself before it sprouted. He knew that at least for a short time, he would not be able to take Ding Yi's place in the hearts of these officers.

The student thought that Mr. must be fine, or that one day in the future, Mr. ......" I don't know if it's emotion, or the talent of the actor level is attacking, Wan An choked up as he spoke, and the tears and snot dripped down in public, and no one laughed at him, which made these officers agree with him, "Mr. is alive!" Wan An clenched his fists and waved, "You must be alive!" The gentleman gave his students two orders, the distant was to look for sweet potatoes and rubber, and the close was to meet with Prince Henry of Portugal and, if possible, form an alliance and learn from the model of the Nautical Academy set up by Prince Henry. Now my generation has two choices, one is to stay here, aimlessly, in the name of looking for Mr. to deceive himself or go into the storm to die; The first is to unswervingly carry out the orders of the gentleman. ”

Everyone present looked at Wan An silently, and some people clenched their fists, if Wan An wanted to make a decision that did not meet what they thought, they might have a seizure on the spot. But Wan An did not make a decision, he said: "Vote now, resolutely carry out Mr.'s order, and swear to complete Mr.'s entrustment, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of Huaxia, continue to move forward warriors, raise your hands!" ”

Excluding the sentry duty, there were fifty-three people present, and forty-eight people raised their hands.

"Put your hands down, vote in the second round, afraid of the wind and waves, and raise your hands to the cowards who stay here under all kinds of pretexts!"

No one raised their hands, only six company and platoon commanders who stood up with a roar and scolded Wan An.

After Wan An ordered someone to subdue them, he was not angry: "Now, there are still three classes left here, one is what Mr. said, until the final relationship, do not give up easily, and the people who stay, if there is news from Mr., it is easy to respond; One is that if the Mediterranean Fleet passes through here later, it will be good to show them where we are going; In the end, I believe that Mr. is here, and he will definitely make a decision, my generation is here, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty! There will be a defender of the land! Heroes who are willing to stay, stand up. ”

Almost everyone stood up, and Wan An shook his head: "One supply ship, one platoon, can only be so much." Among the six of you, choose a captain and a platoon leader who stays behind. He motioned for the others to sit down, and said this to the six officers who had just roared to leave their seats.

And Wan An, after the officers' meeting, did the most cruel thing, he ordered Captain Jack and all the prisoners to be killed, on the grounds that they knew the reality of the fleet. After a few days of rest, the fleet restarted to the south, and on the island of Mahe, a supply ship and a platoon of soldiers were left behind, which was by far the westernmost territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"Young master, young master......" Cao Jixiang moaned weakly on the beach, maybe it was luck, maybe it was a thousand years of scourge, even the Arabian Sea could not accommodate such a treacherous evil as him, in short, he was washed up on the beach; Dozens of meters away from him, a medium-sized treasure ship didn't know whether it ran aground or ran aground, in short, stuck between the reefs, it was the missing supply ship in the task force.

When a lifeboat washed up on the beach, it was overturned by the huge waves, and the side of the boat was slowly being carried by six hands, Wen Fatzi and the other two Ding Yi's personal guards gasped and half-knelt on the beach, and Ding Yi behind them was relatively better than Cao Jixiang, and he was held in his arms by the girl who claimed to be the heir of Shajiredu.

Ding Yi pointed weakly to a place not close, and gasped: "Fat, fat, there is someone ......" He was referring to a humanoid object that was half-buried on the beach, and his condition was very bad, and before he finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood, which was swept by the broken mast before falling into the sea, this natural force is not at all human beings can contend with.

Dante laughed, and weakly raised his hand to pat the arab girl on the cheek, and said to her in Latin, "VENI...... VIDI!” Then he coughed sharply, bleeding from his mouth. The arab girl was erudite, and she finished the phrase for him in Latin: "VICI!" (To be continued......)
