Chapter 20 Homecoming

Disoriented: Although no one even knows whether the world is round or square, with the combination of astrology, compass, and the routes opened up by predecessors, it is possible to sail to land no matter what, but whether you can survive after going ashore is another matter.

Sepsis: Lyle still does not know the cause of "sepsis", fortunately famous doctors around the country have given effective countermeasures to sepsis, the fleet set off with a lot of vegetables, including a variety of beans that are easy to preserve and grow, and did not forget to plunder local vegetables and fruits when plundering food.

Reefs: Due to the lack of precise positioning, no ship can perfectly follow the successful course of its predecessors, and the biggest risk of deviating from a safe course is to run aground, and there is nothing Lyle can do about it, but to let the escort ship clear the way to keep the flagship safe.

Tempest: Thanks to Cao Wei's enthusiastic demonstration, Lyle has made it a great way to deal with a storm after optimizing the way ships are connected to each other. But if you are really unlucky enough to encounter a super storm, you should still destroy the group.

Epidemic disease: Soil and water adaptation is only the slightest disease, the bacterial and viral groups in different regions are also different, there is no specific medicine for endemic diseases in foreign countries, and Lyle's medical skills are good and powerful.

- Even though the use of artillery and prudent tactics kept the fleet away from defeat, sailing was still a high-risk affair, and there were things that could only be dealt with as much as possible, but could never be solved.

It's just that high risk is high risk, and there are still many people who eat this meal, which means that this will not be the extent of nine deaths. Lyle's first voyage was successful at the cost of [an open frigate ship, which ran aground and sank (all the sailors on board were rescued) + one sailor died of a serious illness + two sailors were killed by resistance in the broadside battle + two artillerymen were seriously injured by the cannon breech].

The landing point is still the current capital of Sun Wu, located in Wu County at the mouth of the Yangtze River, although from the geographical point of view the port in the south of Jiaozhou is much closer, but don't forget that there is still a civil war in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they go to sea for more than half a year and do not know if the situation has changed.

But this time, don't think that there will be a hundred officials to welcome you like when you set sail, Sun Quan is not sitting on the dock to work, and the area of Wu County is not small, and the fleet is just docking at the usual dock.

"Father, mother, the child is back~!"

"Wu County, it's really Wu County's dock! I'm not dreaming! ”

"Woo...... It's land, and it's finally back on shore!! ”

The sailors left the ship one after another, or comforted each other, or wailed loudly, or knelt and kissed the earth, and completely burst out the feelings that had been suppressed for a long time.

"Really...... Doesn't that make me look like I'm a bad person? Lyle's eyes were moist too.

In the days when they were pirates, they would also find a place to go ashore from time to time to let off steam, but no matter how much they let the wind out, they still spent most of their time adrift at sea, and now they can finally stay on solid land for a long time, and that kind of emotion is incomprehensible to others.

"No, the mortality rate is far lower than that of killing the enemy in battle, and it is far more rewarding than the military salary, and the bad guy like you probably wants most soldiers to follow." Gan Ning spoke in a nonchalant tone, but his red eyes had already expressed his true feelings clearly.

Neither had the dignified Sail Thief tried to stay on the ship for such long.

"Ha, do you want to make a profit?" Lyle has never been a tough guy, but he is very conscious, and he quickly calms down his excitement, "...... I hope that the lord and the ministers can also be settled so easily. ”

[The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for the sake of profit] This sentence has always been the core idea of Lyle's plan, and it is only for the monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu to continue to support their voyage career.

But in other words, if there really is a pedantic old pedant who jumps out and says that the slave hunting business is harmful to heaven and peace, and does not conform to the doctrine of saints, Lyle will not find a second way to deal with it.

"When is the next voyage?" Gan Ning looked back in the direction of the upper cabin of the flagship and guessed, "I know your kid is crazy, but at least wait for your child to be born, right?" ”

Don't look at Sun Shangxiang's temperament, if she is really pregnant and asks her to drink medicine as soon as possible to kill the child, her reaction may not be much more open than other women in this era; And if she is really born, with the condition of the sea, there is a high probability that it will be the result of one corpse and two lives.

Someone is already wary of the conjugal affair during the voyage, but ...... Ahem, just after that storm, Lyle was a little embarrassed, and there was no way around it. Fortunately, it was already something that happened on the way back, Sun Shangxiang's belly had not yet bulged, and people were not so fragile.

Of course, the places that should be paid attention to can also be neglected, and the fact that Sun Shangxiang, who loves to be lively now, did not appear in the bustling dock is an example.

"You can rest assured that it will be two years at the earliest." Lyle replied.

Gan Ning was surprised: "Huh? So long? ”

He also thought that Lyle would go to sea as often as possible, and that the others would need to go to great lengths to delay.

"Because I'm waiting for a new batch of ships to be built." Lyle gave the reason directly, and then said, "...... Captain, do you remember why I went to sea? ”

“?” Gan Ning frowned, searching for memories, "It seems to be 'look at what the outside world looks like'?" ”

Lyle continued, "So, what do you think we've seen on this trip?" ”

"............" Ganning seemed to know what Lyle meant.

"I don't mean to look down on the sea." The vagaries and magnificence of the sea are an indescribable beauty, "It's just that the sea is a little tired of seeing it for the voyager, and I want to go ashore and see what a foreign town looks like." ”

However, this is difficult to achieve for the current Koto Pirates, who can find a place with the right depth to go ashore and release the wind, but they can't find a town that can accept them. Even if it wasn't the port of the Hundred Rider Dynasty, it wouldn't accept a group of pirates from the distant realm, and from another perspective, even if others were willing to accept them, Lyle wouldn't be at ease.

Well, there is only one solution left.

"The next time I go to sea, I will have enough ships to fight back the navy of the Hundred Riders Dynasty, and the strength to occupy the entire port town!" Colonization is still very early, and I don't have this strength, but at least don't be afraid to dare to only operate within the range of artillery, "Da Wu still has to fight against Da Wei, so that the lord can't count on sending troops, so I plan to try to persuade Jiaozhou Shixie." ”

It would not be happy to let Shixie send troops to fight against Wei, at most it would mean a little, but it should be much easier to let him send troops to sea to make a lot of money.

"Have you even figured out where the soldiers will come from?" Gan Ning pressed the respect in his heart, "It seems that I am going to be busy in the past two years." ”

"No, you're not too young anymore, it's time for this kind of thing to change hands to the people below." Lyle glanced at Gan Ning and shook his head slowly, "Recuperate well, I won't take the old guy who has a high probability of dying at sea out to sea...... Captain. ”
