Chapter 136: On the Precautions of the Voyage

When Li Er sent people to Yangzhou again, all the ships of the fleet had been equipped, and the leader of the fleet, Gao Buer, was handed over to Lu Jiutong, the son of the carpenter, and the guard was handed over to the clan sent by Li Er, a steady middle-aged man named Li Fayuan, and he was also the leader of the entire fleet.

When everything was almost ready, Gao Fuji called them together for a meeting.

Gao Buer said: "In a few days, it will enter April, the monsoon is together, you are about to set off, take advantage of this time, what do you all have to ask, and what this king can think of, I want to explain to you." ”

Under the requirements of Gao Fuji, everyone slowly adapted to the habit of using charcoal, and the brush was really not suitable for use on the turbulent sea, and none of them carried charcoal and small notebooks sewn with paper at this time.

Gao Buer saw that they had opened the notebook, and when he said the following, he nodded with great satisfaction: "This monsoon can almost blow from April to September, you can ride the monsoon all the way north with the ocean current, if you can't find food on land, there are good water players in the fleet, and you shouldn't lose your life due to hunger." ”

"When sailing on the sea, the first thing is to ensure that there is enough water, and you must remember that you must replenish the water when you can, and the other is to take less baths and do everything possible to save water, unless you have a reliable water source around you."

"In addition, vegetables must be eaten, carrots must be eaten, you can't skip a meal, it can supplement a thing called carotene, you must always maintain your physical strength on the sea, and if you can destroy the enemy with weapons, don't fight hand-to-hand."

"I won't talk about the task of this trip, it is the basic requirement to be able to complete it, if you really can't complete it, you can come back alive, after all, the first voyage, full of unknowns, you can be the first batch of warriors, willing to open up a voyage for future generations, you are already a great hero."

Hero, no matter what era, this is definitely the most beautiful compliment for men.

"You will pass through the seas of Silla, Goguryeo, and Wa all the way north, these seas are rampant with bandits, and you will usher in the first naval battle here, if you can't defeat them, you can sail back, because along the way, you will encounter more pirates, this road will not only have strange scenery, but also endless dangers, and even you will encounter cannibals, which is really cannibalism."

Gao Fuji said what he envisioned, which aroused the ambition of young people to find excitement.

Gao Fuji continued: "In the duel with people, I believe that you will definitely be invincible, but in addition to pirates, cannibals, sharks, king octopuses, whales, and other unknown creatures in the sea, there are also natural disasters, hurricanes, and tsunamis, you must remember that when looking for anchorages, you must be cautious about the lagoon of the sea, because most of the lagoons are formed by volcanic eruptions, if you are unlucky and happen to stop at an active crater mountain, then the fun will be great." ”

"The other is the hurricane, please tell you about this point, he is the one who really fought for his life with the hurricane."

Lu Jiutong heard Gao Buer call him, so he stood up and said: "What the prince said is very right, for so many years on the sea, I have seen volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions as long as they are not close to it, they are generally fine, but hurricanes are different, they are born and people have no time to react, the sea is still beautiful one moment, and the next moment it may be stormy." ”

"If you really encounter it, then it depends on the wisdom of the helmsman, you must remember, you must not avoid the waves, if you are lucky, riding over is the most correct choice, at this time what others can do is to hold on to the fixed things around you, do not think about rescuing your companions, then you will only die together in the sea."

"Don't panic if you fall into the sea, try to find something that can float you as much as possible, don't think about swimming in the water, a distance of ten meters in the sea, if it is useful, it may exhaust you from prostration." After speaking, Lu Jiutong bowed to this Gao Fuji and sat down.

Gao Buer emphasized: "Lu Jiutong's words, everyone must remember, although I have not experienced a hurricane, but I have seen it through other means, no matter how big the ship is, it is not a leaf in the sea, so we must be cautious in everything, of course, this time we will walk along the coastline, if there is really a hurricane, we can also go ashore in time to escape." ”

"Don't forget, as soon as you go out, you will stay away from your hometown, you must find a good guide every time you go to a place, you don't need me to teach it, silver is always the best stepping stone, and at the same time, you must remember the truth that wealth is not exposed, people are greedy, no matter what his skin color is, it is so, in a word, if you don't return to Datang safely, then your nerves can't relax, even when you think it's safest, the vigilance can't be relaxed, you know?"

"When you get to the big side, you will find many beasts that are bigger than you know, giant pythons three or four feet long can be seen everywhere, and there are a lot of water monkeys swimming in the water, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water will be the only ones you have seen in your lifetime, and those who are interested can draw down the animals you see along the way, so that you can compile a book of strange beasts and sell them for money."

The crowd laughed below.
