Chapter 21 Set sail north
Just when the rivers and lakes were disturbing, Lu Yuan took Monk Peng and a few of his apprentices and lived near a dock on the coast of Zhejiang. Every day, he goes out to sea by boat to get used to life at sea. In the evening, Monk Peng and Lu Yuan talked about some things about the art of war and strategy, and several apprentices listened on the side. Lu Yuan knew that he was not a great talent, he just poured a lot of things he knew to Peng Yingyu.
Peng Yingyu has many famous names in history, both civil and military. What Lu Yuan said, he would naturally think about it, and then tell it to his apprentices.
After six months in Zhejiang, Lu Yuan finally made a sextant, and after a few trials, it was enough to ensure that coastal navigation would not lose its way. At this time, the warship bought by Peng Yingyu was also renovated in the dock.
In front of the hall fell swallows.
Lu Yuan drank tea without a ride, watching Zhu Yuanzhang and a few others sort out and register the materials for going to sea.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng have been studying under Peng Yingyu's disciple for four or five years. These people are about the same age as Lu Yuan, because they were received by Monk Peng early, and they didn't suffer much. Presumably, without those experiences, Zhu Yuanzhang would be less ruthless. However, since Lu Yuan's mind was not on fighting for the world, he stayed away from these people and did not deliberately envelop them.
Peng Yingyu has contacted and reserved nearly 100,000 people in various places. This time to go to sea, these apprentices of Monk Peng will also be sent to all walks of life to study, and strive to build some meritorious deeds.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, the news that Monk Peng had heard, and the Sky Eagle Sect was also preparing to sail for the sea, and it would set sail in about a month. Next, you will meet Zhang Cuishan's family of three who drifted over at sea.
A day later, the news came that the Sky Eagle Sect sailed from Hangzhou.
Lu Yuan was already ready to stop, and at this time, he naturally commanded the ship to follow. On board, there were only him, Monk Peng, and more than two dozen good soldiers in the army. Those sergeants were all drawn from the rebel army from all over the country, and they were Monk Peng's henchmen. Although these men wore the clothes of ordinary sailors, they carried good waist knives around their waists, and the cabins were equipped with armor and crossbow arrows in the army, and they were extremely combative.
Lu Yuan's expedition was extremely well prepared, with enough food and water for a year, and also sufficient ordnance and armor, and even two large bags of gunpowder were prepared for attack.
The ship was not close to the big ship of the Aquila Sect, but was hanging from a distance. He has a clairvoyant mirror made by Lu Yuan on his side, and he knows the whereabouts of the Heavenly Eagle Sect very clearly, and he can only see a ship following behind him from a distance, and he can't see the truth. On the eighth or ninth day of this, suddenly another big ship came from the west, and headed towards the big ship of the Aquila Sect.
Lu Yuan immediately signaled, and when the helmsman saw it, he swung the rudder slightly, and the ship sailed outward against the headwind, away from the two big ships.
The Aquila Sect's ship slowed down, waved the banner of the Aquila Sect, and reported the number of the ship on the other side. Lu Yuan couldn't hear it clearly from afar, but he saw that the two boats first shouted a few words across the water, and then someone scolded each other. Suddenly, the sword light flickered, and a Taoist swept a few feet with a sword, and actually boarded the opponent's ship and started to move. But when I heard the sound of the soldiers and the soldiers colliding with the weapons, the ships that came back turned and met them again. Without waiting for the sideboard, a few more people jumped over with blades in their hands, and the sound of weapons colliding, falling into the water, and screams was endless, and the fight was so lively.
Lu Yuanzhi was a sea ship of the Eight Great Sects, and there was the scourge of Xihuazi, and it was certain that the fight would start. So he turned around and looked north, and a faint black spot appeared on the shore of the sky and sea in the distance.
"Continue east, drive out for three miles, and then turn around and head north." Lu Yuan commanded, and continued to take the clairvoyant mirror to look at the excitement over there. There was a man in green clothes shuttling through the crowd, almost knocking down one of his moves, and there was almost no enemy under him. Looking at the martial arts moves, this person's eight achievements are the highest martial arts among the eight major sect personnel, Wudang Yu Lianzhou, and secretly admires it in his heart.
Lu Yuan has been practicing martial arts for many years, with the guidance of famous teachers, and what he learned is the peerless internal skills such as the Jiuyang True Scripture, and the skills in the seventy-two unique arts of Shaolin. He thought to himself that if he was in a melee like Yu Lianzhou, it would not be difficult to defeat the enemy with one move, but it would not be easy for his subordinates to show mercy like him, just knock the enemy unconscious, and not damage the body. Shaolin martial arts are mostly fierce, and a shot is often a broken tendon and fracture, and it is necessary to reach a high and profound situation to be rigid and soft, and the severity is as good as you want.
After a short time, Lu Yuan's sea boat made a big circle in the open sea, bypassing the ships of the Eight Great Sects and the Heavenly Eagle Sect, as well as the wooden raft of Zhang Cuishan's family of three, sailing against the wind and heading north.
"That ship looks weird, I don't know where it's going?" Zhang Cuishan on the wooden row was about to call for help to the boat in front of him, when he suddenly saw a sea boat turn around and sail north, sailing against the wind. The ship, between the three masts of hard sails, actually pulled three soft sails as white as snow on three sides, and now it was full of north wind diagonally, bulging out of the boat, and the whole ship was tilted so that it could not fall, and sailed northward very fast.
Zhang Cuishan felt that it was inappropriate, but the hope of returning to the Central Plains was in front of him, and he just said a casual word to Yin Susu, and the two looked at the two fierce sea ships again. Yin Susu saw the flag of the Heavenly Eagle Sect painted on the sails of a ship, and he was full of emotion, and he didn't know how to talk to Zhang Cuishan.
Back then, Lu Yuan stabbed Yin Susu with a sword in the lower abdomen, and the injury caused was very light. Yin Susu also slapped Lu Yuan, but he was almost killed.
This hard-working couple is about to die, Zhang Cuishan's chivalry and righteousness, Yin Susu's love and hatred, this is a dead knot! He has no intention of helping, and he doesn't want to take revenge, just looking at it from a distance is just two clear. Seeing that Zhang Cuishan and his wife were rescued on the big boat, he waved his hand. The ship half-retracted its hard sails, pulled up the bow spinnaker, and the speed of the ship was raised again, and in a blink of an eye, it sailed out of everyone's sight.
The location of the Island of Fire and Ice is not difficult to find.
Zhang Cuishan and his wife drove a wooden raft, taking advantage of the north wind to go south day and night, and arrived in the Yellow Sea in a few months. Although there are many problems, the speed of sailing against the wind is far more than that of the current domestic sea ships.
In addition, there is a sextant positioning, taking the zigzag route, the speed of sailing far exceeds the raft of Zhang Cuishan's family, but in a month, I can see a pillar of smoke towering in the sky.
This active volcano in the sea stands out when the weather is fine.
That is, this is not on the waterway, otherwise most people will go up to take a look, and Zhang Cuishan and his wife do not have to be trapped on the island for ten years.
