Hundreds of warships are all the belongings of Qiongzhou, and they are all docked on the coast at this time.

There are more than 10,000 people in total, and hundreds of warships are enough, and on average, there are more than 100 people per ship, which is still not much.

They will go out on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and Qiongzhou, and they will be the first army to go to the sea since the Ming Dynasty banned the sea.

The entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zi has the courage to stare at the edict of the forbidden sea and go to sea.

Soon, all the soldiers got on the warship, and after seeing everyone in the army on board, Zhu Zicai finally stepped onto the largest warship.

This warship was transformed by a merchant ship, and the merchant ship before the transformation was a merchant ship made not long ago, when Zhu Di came to Qiongzhou, and after landing in Guangzhou Mansion, it was sent over within a few days.

This search ship alone can accommodate four or five hundred people, which can be regarded as a big ship.

"Your Highness, where should we go now?"

After boarding the boat, Wang Zhi also asked.

Although Zhu Zi had mentioned before that he was going to find Chen Zuyi, they didn't know where Chen Zuyi's location was.

"Find, look around Malacca, even if you search the entire Malacca, you have to find Chen Zuyi!"

Zhu Zi snorted coldly.

Since Chen Zuyi doesn't know each other and treats his words as a deaf ear, then don't blame him for doing it.

Daming's understanding of the sea area is too little, especially in recent years, the issuance of the edict banning the sea has made Daming's understanding of the sea area even less.

So much so that Zhu Zi wants to go to sea, but he doesn't know where to go, he is simply a headless fly, and if he wants to smoothly open the Age of Discovery, and gain a foothold in this sea area, the first thing is to find someone who understands this sea area.

There is no doubt that among the people they know now, Chen Zuyi is the only one who understands this sea area, and the primary purpose is to find Chen Zuyi.

"Yes!"

Wang Zhi and Sang Zhao hurriedly agreed.

Although there is no exact location, it is better than not knowing where to go, knowing an approximate location, then you can definitely find it, as for how long to find it, it is only a matter of time.

The point is, Zhu Zi is also here, so they have no reason to retreat.

"All the troops are attacking!"

With Zhu Zi's order, hundreds of warships, all of which dropped anchor and headed for the sea.

This is the first time to go to sea, a very meaningful voyage, hundreds of warships, on behalf of Qiongzhou, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, is the opening of the era of discovery.

The sea breeze, blowing on the face, is very cool, upright winter, but I don't feel a little cold.

The warship slowly sailed away from Qiongzhou, and Qiongzhou gradually disappeared from view, and there was only an endless sea as far as the eye could see.

In the cabin, a relatively large room, was requisitioned as a conference room.

On the table, there was a yellowed map, very rough, with some place names and routes, including Qiongzhou.

This is the relatively simple map of the Ming Dynasty, which still took a lot of effort to find the map, can only simply distinguish the direction, and does not mark too many place names in detail.

"Your Highness, the sea area we are in now is in the South Sea, and the map does not indicate where the Strait of Malacca is, which way should we go from?"

Wang Zhi looked at the map in front of him and asked suspiciously.

They didn't know where Chen Zuyi was, or if Zhu Zi told them, Chen Zuyi was entrenched in Nanyang, a place called the Strait of Malacca, and they didn't know where he was talking about.

If Chen Zuyi's position is so easy to find, I'm afraid that many people will make a move on Chen Zuyi for the 500,000 taels of silver.

"We're in Nanyang now, just go down the Nanyang, and then go to the left."

"Along the way, if you meet the natives of the island, you can also stop and make sure you have made a mistake."

Zhu Zi pointed to the signs on the map, and roughly said the direction, he could only rely on the appearance in his memory, roughly know the direction, this map, too much, he didn't want to look at it more.

The marked sea area is only a little bit, less than one-tenth of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, what can be seen.

The point is that many places are sketched in the imagination of those fishermen and merchant ships, which was many years ago, and the accuracy is not high at all, so you can only barely look at it.

"Understood."

Wang Zhi nodded, then walked out, and returned after a while.

After determining the general direction, he had to tell the person at the helm that their ship was the leading ship, and the boats behind followed them, and once they went wrong, it meant that everyone was going wrong.

A team of hundreds of ships sailed on the sea, and on the calm sea, there was no living thing to see except birds and seagulls in the sky.

Time passed slowly, I don't know how long it took, I only heard a noise outside, Zhu Zi curiously walked out of the deck.

"What's the situation?"

Zhu Zi came to the deck and saw a group of people in front of the guardrail on the left side of the ship.

"Your Highness, an island has been discovered!"

Wang Zhi said with excitement on his face, this is the first island they found when they went to sea, and their Qiongzhou was originally an island, and now they feel very kind when they see the island.

When the surrounding soldiers saw Zhu Zi coming, they also gave way one after another, letting Zhu Zi go to the front.

As soon as the people dispersed, Zhu Zi instantly saw a small island in front of him, this island is not small or small, but it is not big, but there is no figure in sight, it should be sitting on an uninhabited island.

"The size of this island, if you guess correctly, is an archipelago, continue to drive forward, there should be several islands of this size in front of you."

Zhu Zi pondered for a while and spoke.

If nothing else, there are many islands of this size in the South Sea, most of which are mainly archipelagos.

Seeing the archipelago means that they have traveled a long distance away from Qiongzhou, which also proves that they are driving in the right direction.

When Wang Zhi heard this, he looked at Zhu Zi suspiciously, but he still ran to the place where he was at the helm, and it didn't take long for the boat to move again and speed forward.

"Your Highness, there really are a lot of islands of about the same size!"

After a while, the ship sailed past several islands, and Wang Zhi and Sang Zhao, as well as the surrounding soldiers, looked at Zhu Zi as if they were looking at a monster.

really made Zhu Zi accurate, just by seeing one island, he deduced that there are many such big islands behind.

They all know very well what Zhu Zi's identity is, it is the first time to come to Qiongzhou, not to mention that he has also come to Nanyang, Zhu Zi is definitely the first time to come, he knows so much, he doesn't look like a first-time person at all.
