While the world was in turmoil, Lu Yuan took Monk Peng and several of his disciples to live near a shipyard along the coast of Zhejiang. [Read the latest chapter] I take a boat out to sea every day during the day to adapt to life at sea. In the evening, Monk Peng and Lu Yuan talked about some matters related to the art of war and strategy, while several apprentices listened. Lu Yuan knew that he was not a great talent, so he just poured out a lot of what he knew to Peng Yingyu.
Peng Yingyu has many famous names in history, with both civil and military talents. He would naturally think about what Lu Yuan said and summarize it, and then tell his disciples to listen.
After six months in Zhejiang, Lu Yuan finally made the sextant. After trying it several times, it was enough to ensure that coastal navigation would not lose its way. At this time, the warship bought by Peng Yingyu was also being renovated in the dock.
Flying swallows fell in front of the hall.
Lu Yuan drank tea and watched Zhu Yuanzhang and a few others sort out the materials registered for going to sea.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng have been studying under Peng Yingyu for four or five years now. These people are similar in age to Lu Yuan. Because they were accepted by Monk Peng early, they did not suffer much. Presumably without those experiences, Zhu Yuanzhang would be less vicious. However, since Lu Yuan's mind was not on competing for the world, he kept a distance from these people and did not deliberately win over them.
Peng Yingyu has contacted and reserved nearly 100,000 troops in various places. During this trip to the sea, Monk Peng's disciples will also be sent to various rebel armies to learn and work hard to build some achievements. With Monk Peng's scheduling, it will not be difficult for each of them to stand out.
Lu Yuan pondered over some things, and Monk Peng found out that the Sky Eagle Sect was also preparing a ship to go to sea, which would set sail in about a month. Next, you will meet Zhang Cuishan's family of three drifting on the sea.
Not a day later, news came that Tianying taught the ship to sail from Hangzhou.
Lu Yuan was already ready, so he naturally commanded the ship to follow. There were only him, Monk Peng, and more than twenty military experts on board. Those sergeants were all drawn from rebel armies from various places and were Monk Peng's confidants. Although these people wore the clothes of ordinary sailors, they carried good swords on their waists, and the cabins were equipped with armor and military crossbows. They had extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Lu Yuan had prepared extremely detailed materials for this expedition. Food and water were enough for a year. In addition, there were also enough weapons and armor, and even two large bags of gunpowder were provided to prepare for the attack.
The ship didn't get close to the Sky Eagle Cult's ship, but hung far away. He has a telescope built by Lu Yuan here, and he has a clear view of the whereabouts of the Sky Eagle Sect. Over there, he can only see a ship following far behind, but he can't see what's going on. A few days later, another large ship suddenly came from the west and headed towards the Tianying Sect's large ship.
Lu Yuan immediately signaled. After seeing this, the helmsman swung the rudder slightly, and the ship sailed outward against the headwind, away from the two large ships.
The Sky Eagle Sect's ship slowed down, displayed the Sky Eagle Sect's flag, and reported its name to the ship approaching from the opposite side. Lu Yuan couldn't hear clearly from a distance, but he saw the two boats shouting a few words across the water, and then someone yelled at each other. Suddenly, there was a flash of sword light, and a Taoist sword swept several feet away, and actually boarded the opponent's ship and started to move. But after hearing the sound of soldiers clashing with each other, the ship turned around and faced them again. Before waiting to join the ship, several more people jumped over to take action with weapons in hand. The sounds of weapons hitting, falling into the water, and screams were endless, and the fight was lively.
Lu Yuan knew that 80% of the ships that came later were ships from the Eight Great Sects. With Xihuazi as a scourge, a fight was inevitable. So I turned around and looked north, and saw a faint black spot on the seashore in the distance.
"Keep going east, and after driving three miles, turn around and head north." Lu Yuan ordered, and continued to look at the excitement over there with his telescope. There was a man in green clothes walking through the crowd, almost every move he made was bound to knock down one of them, and he had almost no enemies at his disposal. Looking at the martial arts moves, it turned out that this person was probably Wudang Yu Lianzhou, the one with the highest martial arts skills among the eight sects this time, and I secretly admired him.
Lu Yuan has been practicing martial arts for many years and has been taught by famous teachers. He also studied peerless internal skills such as the Nine Yang Manual and the skills of the Seventy-two Shaolin Arts. If he was in a melee like Yu Lianzhou's, it would be easy to defeat the enemy with one move, but it would not be easy to be merciless like him and just knock the enemy unconscious without damaging the fundamentals of the body. Shaolin martial arts are mostly strong and violent, and the muscles and bones are often broken as soon as you strike. Only when you reach an advanced level can you be strong and soft, and the weight can be as good as you want.
Not long after, Lu Yuan's ship made a large circle in the open sea, bypassing the ships of the Eight Great Sects and the Sky Eagle Sect, as well as the rafts of Zhang Cuishan's family, sailing towards the north against the headwind.
"That ship looks weird. I wonder where it is going?" Zhang Cuishan on the raft was about to call for help from the ship in front, when he suddenly saw a sea ship turning around and heading north, sailing against the wind. Between the three hard sails like fish ribs, the ship actually pulled three soft sails as white as snow. Now they are tilted diagonally with the north wind, and they are bulging outside the ship. The whole ship is leaning so hard that it will collapse. like this, heading north very quickly.
Zhang Cuishan felt something was wrong in his heart, but the hope of returning to the Central Plains was right in front of him, so he just said a casual word to Yin Susu, and the two of them looked at the two fiercely fighting large ships. When Yin Susu saw the flag of the Sky Eagle Sect painted on the sail of a ship, she was filled with emotions and didn't know how to talk to Zhang Cuishan.
Back then, Lu Yuan stabbed Yin Susu in the lower abdomen, and the injury was very minor. Yin Susu also slapped Lu Yuan, but he almost died.
This miserable couple is about to be ruined. Zhang Cuishan's chivalry and righteousness, Yin Susu's love and hatred, this is a deadlock! He had no intention of lending a helping hand, nor did he want to seek revenge. He just looked at her from afar and settled the matter. Seeing Zhang Cuishan and his wife being rescued onto the ship, he waved. The ship half-furled the hard sail, pulled up the bow jib, increased the speed of the ship, and sailed out of everyone's sight in a blink of an eye.
The location of Ice and Fire Island is not difficult to find.
Zhang Cuishan and his wife drove a raft, taking advantage of the north wind, heading south day and night, and reached the Yellow Sea in a few months. Most of the sea-going ships built by Lu Yuan were based on Western sailing ships. Although they had many flaws, the speed of sailing against the wind was far higher than that of current domestic sea-going ships.
Coupled with the sextant positioning and the zigzag route, the sailing speed was far faster than the raft of Zhang Cuishan's family. Within a month, a column of smoke towering over the horizon was seen from a distance.
This active volcano on the sea is extremely eye-catching when the weather is fine.
That is to say, this place is not on the waterway, otherwise most people would go up to have a look, and Zhang Cuishan and his wife would not have to be trapped on the island for ten years.
