"From what you're saying, you took some prisoners?"
"Are you planning to let these prisoners lead the way?"
Ma Yaner reacted instantly after listening to Zhang Bao's words.
"right!"
"We did capture thousands of Japanese prisoners before. You know, there was no one idle on the ship. Almost everyone participated in the process."
"So even if they are ordinary soldiers, they are still familiar with this route and so on. They mentioned several key islands in the middle, and we can locate them through these islands."
"I found some fishermen. They know the nearest islands."
"Actually, the most critical thing is the first few islands. As long as we settle on them, there will basically be no problem."
Zhang Bao said to Su Xiaoyue and Ma Yan'er.
"Why do they want to go to the island?"
"Is there going to be a war?"
Su Xiaoyue asked curiously from the side.
"freshwater."
"Because basically when sailing on the sea, there is no other way to get fresh water except when it rains, so they will go all the way to the islands to replenish fresh water."
"Of course, it does not mean that all islands have fresh water. The islands they can stay on have been confirmed accordingly. If we only need to follow this path, at least the fresh water along our way can be replenished. "
"It is very beneficial to us, but it is a pity that the original navigation chart is gone. When they were fighting, not a single ship was left behind. Otherwise, they would still have their route map. .”
"It's just that the current situation is that we have asked the Japanese to think of ways to redraw the blueprints and some navigation clues. With so many people, they are somewhat useful."
"As long as we proceed in this way, there will basically be no problem."
Zhang Bao said to Su Xiaoyue and Ma Yan'er.
"In other words, you are not completely sure that you can reach the Japanese country now?"
Ma Yan'er said worriedly.
"Of course, the current navigation conditions are far from mature, so we can only say that we are confident."
"Let's just talk about those Japanese. They have come to Dongzhou many times, but this time, according to our inquiries, when they first went to sea, they had a fleet of fifty ships, but when they arrived in Daxia , there are only more than thirty ships.”
“When we first started, we encountered a hurricane and we lost a lot of money.”
"Later on, we encountered wind, waves and whirlpools, and lost several ships, which basically led to the current situation."
"So we just have to do the best we can."
Zhang Bao said to the two of them with a smile.
"It turns out that the sea is so dangerous, so you won't have any problems."
Su Xiaoyue said to Ma Yan'er.
"Don't worry, our ships have been upgraded as much as possible. Could it be worse than the fate of the Japanese?"
"Absolutely no problem."
"As long as you are here, I won't have to ask anyone to bring news back."
"In the next time, I will take people to the Japanese country. After all, it is separated by a sea. There will not be any news exchange in the middle. Tell them that there is no need to worry."
"Also, you should pay more attention to things in the capital. Last time, something happened when we went to the grassland. I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle this time either."
"If I proclaim myself emperor now, if something unexpected happens, my name will be left in history. The throne will be gone without even taking a seat in a day. It's not worth it. Just pay attention."
"However, within three months, there will definitely be news coming back."
"You pay close attention. After we arrive in Japan, I will send ships back every once in a while, so we won't lose contact completely by then."
Zhang Bao said to the two of them.
One is Su Xiaoyue, who can help Zhang Bao control everything at home, and the other is Ma Yan'er, who can handle some external relationships and arrangements.
With these two people here, there is absolutely no problem.
"By the way, let's come. There's another news."
Su Xiaoyue said to Zhang Bao.
"Um?"
"what news?"
"Something happened at home?"
Zhang Bao asked in surprise.
"Xixue already has it. My husband is very powerful. He took our sister Xixue out and we have already captured her."
Su Xiaoyue smiled at Zhang Bao.
"Also, our Dr. Fang has examined Yan'er's body and there is nothing wrong with her at all. Sir, you can't show any partiality to her."
"We Yan'er are waiting for you!"
Su Xiaoyue smiled.
Ma Yaner's face turned red immediately.
"Xixue is here too?"
"Ah! I just said that my husband, I am still very good, there is absolutely no problem!"
"Don't worry, Yan'er will be left to me. At the last moment, it will be Yan'er!"
"When I come back, there will be good news!"
Zhang Bao's eyes suddenly lit up.
…
At this time, in the bay of the shipyard.
The bodies of the Japanese have been recovered from the bay.
The current Daxia ships are parked inside, and many people are now loading food and ammunition for long voyages onto the ships.
And some craftsmen are still modifying the ship.
In the past, there were still certain shortcomings in the process of fighting Japanese ships.
Especially the range of this attack, they originally thought it was enough, but this time it was completely insufficient when fighting those Japanese ships.
After visual inspection of the distance, you can quickly avoid it.
Therefore, the range needs to be adjusted accordingly, and the density of the artillery also needs to be changed.
The current Japanese ships are simply not qualified to fight side by side with them, so the side cannons are not used much.
All need to be readjusted.
When they want to attack targets on the shore from ships, it is difficult to get to the shore. What they learned from the Japanese people is that some of the seaside of the Japanese country are beaches, and there are many beaches along the coast. The rocks and some are cliffs, but behind these cliffs there are no villages or valuable targets at all.
Therefore, the actual effect of the deflection gun will not be very great at that time.
Therefore, they need to reduce the current deflection cannon as much as possible, and then disassemble it normally, and wait until it is on the land of the Japanese country to directly play its role on land.
Fortifications such as their cities were used to attack them.
All these transformations also take time. During this process, everything from personnel to materials, from routes to maps, are being prepared intensively.
