The Age of Discovery began roughly at the end of the 15th century, and more than 100 years have passed since then.

The world is increasingly becoming one.

A world-class market is also emerging.

The best medicine to drive the development of shipping is profit.

Wars are fought for profit, and the same is true for foreign visits.

Yang Seung-ying made a plan for a major visit, starting from Port Arthur and going to Phi Island and Busan Port in the Lee Dynasty, then to the Tsushima Domain, Hirado Domain, Nagasaki, and Satsuma Domains in the Wa Kingdom, and then to the Naha Port in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

This sea route used to be traveled a lot.

Immediately afterward, continue south to the southern plain of Jilong Island, where there is the newly built Dongping Mansion.

After placing the instructors and cadets of the crash course for sailors, as well as lathes, guns, and other supplies in Dongping Province, the fleet continued south to Manila, Luzon.

From Manila, follow the coastline to Batavia and Malacca.

After visiting the Dutch colony, he continued to walk along the coastline in the north, visiting Li Dynasty, Qiongzhou and other places.

Until returning to Port Arthur.

First, it is to temper the ability of the ocean and find its own shortcomings.

The second is to step on the spot and find a new and suitable base in Nanyang to lay the foundation for the future rubber plantation.

The third is to consolidate the trade relations between the two sides and find suitable personnel to lay the foundation for future visits to Western European countries.

There are other benefits, such as expanding trade networks.

On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Yang Chengying took the first train to Port Arthur.

Spend the night at the Royal Mansion in Port Arthur.

On the 22nd, Yang Cheng*** met with the people involved in the ocean voyage.

"This is a very important visit, and you will have to deal with a country thousands of miles away in the future, and this is the beginning."

"Overseas is not as good as home, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to prevent others. Keep your gear on hand and check it all the time."

"We are on a peaceful trip this time, and we can't be arrogant because I defeated them."

"It is not force or anything that stands in the way of our further development, but arrogance."

Yang Chengying sat on the main seat, and he took the trouble to emphasize various matters over and over again, which was something he thought about over and over again on the train.

The crew in front of them also listened carefully.

After talking about the significance of the visit, Yang Chengying said some precautions.

But most of the people who volunteered to participate in the voyage this time were people with some sailing experience, so Yang Chengying didn't say much about this part.

After saying the precautions, Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Zu Zepei who was standing aside: "Ask someone to bring up all the things I brought."

With the development of roads and railways, the Northeast region is increasingly forming an overall market.

The tungsten ore hidden in Xiuyan City has been able to be transported to Chaoyang County more conveniently.

Similarly, manganese ore from Wawu Town can be transported to Shenyang.

Yang Chengying opened another ordnance workshop near Sujiatun in Shenyang.

The workshop used state-of-the-art tools at the time, with an experimental nature.

Out of the need for confidentiality, the workers were specially selected by Mao Yuanyi.

Some time ago, the workshop made a batch of good things in accordance with Yang Chengying's orders and drawings.

With it, Yang Chengying decided to come to Port Arthur first, and then to Liaoxi.

"Lift the dagger up."

Zu Zepei walked to the door and waved outside, and more than a dozen big men walked in.

Two people carried a box, and the lid of the box was sealed with a seal.

It means that it has not been opened since I walked out of the workshop.

The boxes were neatly arranged in the hall, and everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be curious.

The things newly made by the king are all good goods!

Yang Chengying got up, tore open one of the box seals, and opened the box.

A strangely shaped dagger appeared in front of people.

Yang Chengying

Pick up one of them, draw the knife out of its sheath, and the sun shines on the dagger, emitting a dazzling light.

"This is a new type of dagger, specially designed for field combat."

Yang Chengying said: "It is more than nine inches long, more than one inch wide, 0.1 inches thick, and weighs 1.5 catties."

In fact, the dagger is just in line with the saying of the people at the time, and it should actually be called a military stab.

One side is the blade, and the other side is the serration.

"There are many unexplored lands overseas, and if you are in trouble, this knife can help you survive at the most basic level."

Yang Chengying said: "The serrated teeth on the back of the knife can be used as a saw, and the blade is made of materials such as manganese and tungsten, which are extremely sharp."

As he spoke, he swung his knife lightly and slashed at the corner of the table.

With a pop, a horn fell. The surface is cut, and the plane is smooth.

The crowd was amazed.

I had heard that the swords of the cavalry were sharp, and they didn't believe it as seamen.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I believe that the legend is true.

"Of course, there's only so much a knife can do."

Yang Chengying said, putting the knife back in its place. Then the saber was lifted up along with the cloth bag underneath the saber and placed on the table.

"Knife, you've seen it, I'll show you the survival kit next."

Yang Chengying unbuttoned it, opened the bag made of canvas, took out the contents of the bag, and put it in front of everyone's eyes like a grocery store.

"It's a bandage, in a small waterproof jar. Along with it, there are needles and threads to suture the wound, as well as herbs for anesthesia."

The herbs are served in small porcelain bottles.

"This is the whistle, in case you get separated from your companions, use the whistle to shout for help."

Yang Chengying said, put it to his mouth and blew it a few times.

The sound was shrill, and it traveled far and wide.

Everyone subconsciously covered their ears.

"If you are separated or injured, blowing a whistle is a waste of energy than shouting."

Yang Chengying said, "Don't think it's not a big deal, keep shouting, it's very physically exhausting."

Everyone nodded, listening very attentively.

Daggers, needles, herbs, and whistles, although they show Yang Chengying's intentions, they are not rare.

Everyone quickly learned, and at the same time a small regret.

It is said that the king has made a lot of things, but they have not had the opportunity to see one or two with their own eyes, and it is inevitable that they will regret it.

With their status, they rarely had the opportunity to see the king as they do now.

However, as soon as they felt regret, they saw Yang Chengying take out a small wooden stick.

The stick was thin and short, and the color of one end was strange, red.

The box with wooden sticks is also strange, with a rectangular cardboard box on one side with dark red sheets.

"It's a match, for making a fire."

Yang Chengying explained: "In fact, matches are not unusual at all, as early as the Yuan Dynasty, there were matches. My matches are very different from theirs, though."

Saying that, Yang Chengying made another demonstration.

He holds a cardboard box in one hand and a matchstick in the other. The matchstick rubbed against the dark red sheet of the cardboard box, and a puff of white smoke rose.

Then the sticks burst into flames.

Yang Chengying waited for the match to burn almost before throwing it into the iron basin brought by Zu Zepei.

There is hay prepared in advance in the pot, and a little bit is on it.

The crowd applauded excitedly, as if to say, this is good! This is good!
