After sailing out of the Yangtze River estuary, the ocean-going fleet conducted a three-day adaptation training near the waters of Zhoushan.

During this period, when sea ships sailed to Fuso, they had to make a long detour, because everyone did not know the direct route to Fuso. However, Zhao Chongyang had been to Fusang many times in his previous life, so he drew a few navigation charts from the Great Song Dynasty to Fusang according to his memory, and asked Li Jun to use a compass to set the direction and drive directly along the route marked on the map, and the voyage could be shortened to one-third of the original from the map. Due to their short range, they are fast. Therefore, Zhao Chongyang estimated that if nothing else, they would arrive in Japan in more than 20 days.

Fortunately, after sailing for more than ten days, the wind and waves were calm, and the journey was very smooth. Since there was nothing to do all the way, after the direction was set every day, each ship was led by the first mate, the second mate and others, and all the generals went to the No. 1 ship to discuss martial arts: each of them put what they had learned into practice, and Zhou Dong, Fang Tianjie, Luda, Zhao Chongyang and others pointed out to them that they were not urged, and combined with their own strengths to improve, so that many people's martial arts have made great progress. The so-called fake spread tens of thousands of sentences, true spread a few words. Under the personal guidance of martial arts master Zhou Dong, not only Wu Song, Shi Jin, and Fang Tianjun chased after Luda and Fang Tianjie in martial arts, but Li Jun, Zhang Heng and others were not good at martial arts, and their martial arts skills were becoming more and more exquisite. In the evening, all the generals, including Zhu Chenggang and Zhou Wanbo, as well as technicians, followed Zhao Chongyang to learn simple Japanese language......

In this way, the sea was calm and calm for nearly one or two decades, and the fleet gradually approached the sea area of Fuso, and there were already occasional Japanese people fishing in fishing boats. On this day, Zhao Chongyang asked Nangong Yongjie to drive the boat to ask the fishermen, how far is it from Nagasaki? Are there any pirates in the waters around here, and is it safe?

The fishermen of Fusang Kingdom saw that the big ship of the Celestial Empire was simply a behemoth, and their own fishing boat was afraid that if they did not touch it lightly, they would be crushed. Therefore, when they saw their fleet, it was like a cat and a mouse, and those who could avoid it would have long since fled far away. But Nangong Yongjie's boat was too fast to avoid the tracking of his ship. This time, two fishing boats were surrounded by Nangong Yongjie's four boats, and they asked about the fact that this sea area was still four days away from the Nagasaki Clipper in Fuso Country, and the slow boat still had six days to travel. On one of the islands of the Goto Islands, there was the largest group of pirates in Fuso Country, led by Akaiwa Jiping, who was a powerful subordinate somewhere, and later led a group of people to make a living as pirates. Due to his cruel nature and ruthlessness, more than ten years later, the number of personnel gradually grew to more than 10,000, and there were more than 200 large and small warships. Nangong Yongjie caught the fishing boat three times in a row and inquired, and the information he got was much the same.

After hearing the real situation, Nangong Yongjie hurriedly reported the situation to Zhao Chongyang. Zhao Chongyang summoned Li Jun, Qian Xiaobo, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Xie Bangjin, Nangong Yongjie and others to discuss the enemy situation. Li Jun and Qian Xiaobo both believed that since this was a group of pirates with the strongest strength in Fusang, they would definitely not let go of these large merchant ships from the Heavenly Empire. Because the Celestial Empire was a symbol of wealth, these ships were filled with mountains of treasure that were too attractive to these pirates. Therefore, the pirates will not give up this opportunity to make a fortune. But in the face of behemoths ten or even dozens of times larger than their ships, their only advantage is that there are many people on board, and the tactics they use are nothing more than wolf tactics, the so-called ants bite elephants to death, dozens of boats surround a big boat, and use the tactics of crowds to forcibly board the big ship, and then control the big ship.

At this time, Zhou Tong spoke: "In land battles, you can lead the enemy into the Jedi that has been arranged first, or traps, or flood, or burn, and defeat the powerful enemy. So will there be a similar situation on the sea? ”

Hearing Zhou Daxia mention this issue, everyone was quietly thinking about whether there would be such a Jedi on the sea. Li Jun has been sailing for two years and has seen a lot of things, he said: "It's still master, your old man is thoughtful. There is indeed this kind of Jedi on the sea, one is the vortex caused by the undercurrent surging, even if the big ship strays into the center of the vortex, it is inevitable. The second is that there are a large number of reefs hidden under the sea, and those who are familiar with the local seabed conditions can bypass the reefs by small and medium-sized boats, and those who are not familiar with the seabed conditions will be hit by the reef and sink even if they are slightly larger. Therefore, I suggest: First, when the truth is not known, the big ships do not rush to pursue the fleeing enemy fleet, and at most let Senior Brother Nangong lead four small boats to pursue. Second, tomorrow, let Senior Brother Nangong take a reconnaissance boat to catch a few fishermen who are familiar with the situation in the local sea area, and promise them some benefits and let them lead the way. Third, in order to increase the deterrent effect against pirates, all soldiers are equipped with firearms to deal a devastating blow to pirates. ”

Zhao Chongyang said: "Senior Brother Li is right, only if the pirates are scared and made them afraid, they will surrender, and then they can capture the prisoners." In the later stage, we will try to capture as many prisoners as possible, and we will need a lot of hard work to establish a base in Nagasaki. The specific work will be done according to what Senior Brother Li Jun said, tonight, Senior Brother Nangong, the people of your reconnaissance ship are divided into four directions, and the anchor is one thousand meters away from our big ship, and the personnel on board take turns to rest to prevent pirates from attacking at night. Beginning at ten o'clock in the evening, in addition to the sentries, twelve men were assigned to each large ship to patrol on duty, and every hour and a half. The squad leader of the patrol officer on duty issued a telescope to pay attention to contact with the officers on duty of other ships and to pay attention to the signals sent by the reconnaissance ship.

When the fishermen who lead the way are caught tomorrow, Senior Brother Nangong should pay attention to both grace and power. Fusang is not conducive to farming, the grain yield is low, grain is a rare thing for them, tell those fishermen, as long as they lead the way carefully, successfully annihilate the pirates, each of them will be rewarded with ten catties of rice and ten catties of white flour, which is much more beneficial than giving them gold and silver. ”

Next, they gave detailed explanations on the prevention of night raids and other issues. When all the staff heard that there was a battle, they were all excited......
