Compared with the establishment and smoothness of these vassal strongholds in the west, the training in the south was not as smooth as expected.
Although it is said that ships in the southern seas have already incurred huge costs.
But the results were still unsatisfactory.
In itself, the current understanding of the situation in the southern sea area is actually far less than the local changes.
And when they actually arrived here, they happened to encounter a strong typhoon. The originally built ship was smashed into pieces by the typhoon.
Some of them hit the rocks and ran aground, and some of them collided with each other, causing the ship to be destroyed and people killed.
Almost overnight.
In Zhang Bao's shipyard, 7788 of the ships they built were destroyed.
Moreover, there are many wooden boards floating on the sea, completely blocking the surrounding area of the sea.
For a while, it is difficult to salvage a navy that can be directly used through this kind of short-term training. And in this process itself, it is not good for Daxia now, or for these shipbuilding companies in Daxia now. The factory is also good.
It can be said that all their previous costs were wiped out overnight.
Moreover, for Zhang Bao and others, the exploration of the southern seas almost starts from scratch.
Because they were in this process, apart from some camphor forests, the southern coastal areas were still uncivilized land.
And since there is no open land, there is almost no exploration of the ocean.
And it is precisely because of this situation that they actually despise or ignore this problem during the process.
Not even a day ago, even a few hours ago.
The whole sea was calm and the sun was shining brightly.
But almost instantly, the sea became gloomy and the wind picked up.
At the beginning, in fact, most of the people who participated in training here were sailors who had participated in the voyages that attacked the Japanese country.
They had not encountered any problems during their journey from Daxia to Japan, nor had they encountered any such wind-related dangers.
So at first, when he didn't encounter such strong winds, they thought it was just some normal wind on the sea.
Not much attention was paid to it either.
But in fact, when the typhoon blew up, it was already too late for them to pay attention even if they wanted to.
Although today's ships have the ability to go far into the ocean, their power mainly relies on wind power.
Rather than relying on manpower.
In this case, when those ships wanted to take refuge in the harbor, it was almost too late.
For these navies, they cherish their ships very much during this process.
Few thought of jumping ship and escaping.
And in this kind of waves, any water properties have lost their effect.
Even these people, in this lake, or in the calm waves, are like white stripes in the waves.
But now, in this stormy sea, as soon as a person jumps in and a wave comes over, he disappears almost immediately.
After this incident passed, the newly formed navy suffered huge losses.
First of all, all the warships were destroyed. Secondly, more than half of the people who were trained this time were also lost. More importantly, those who survived the Japanese naval battle, including the instructors, also lost a lot of people.
This means that all previous situations have completely overturned the reconstruction.
But some experience in dealing with typhoons has been retained.
And after such things, they also knew that the weather in the southern sea area actually changed much faster than the sea area where they traveled in the Japanese country before.
Moreover, although some sea surfaces may appear calm, there are huge whirlpools at the bottom of the ocean.
Once a ship approaches some whirlpools, it is almost impossible to move forward.
In the end, the ship crashed and people died.
So actually, after discovering this situation in the southern seas, everyone was very sad.
Because according to the military order they had given Zhang Bao before, they issued a military order.
They should actually have finished it a long time ago.
It was hard for them to accept this situation after they put in so much effort and failed.
Anyway, after Zhang Bao heard about this situation, he also realized the problem of wind and waves that existed in the southern sea area.
But for the current Daxia side, there is absolutely no way to avoid this situation.
Unless there is such a large ship, maybe he can resist it, but even if it is such a giant ship of 10,000 tons, it may not be able to do anything as long as it encounters a very huge typhoon.
But under this situation, Zhang Bao couldn't give up completely.
After all, for Zhang Bao's side now, if they want to enter the west through the waterway, they must pass through this southern area.
The important reason why the southern area must be conquered is the aquatic products in the southern waters.
In fact, it is richer than here in the eastern sea.
Because their aquatic products have not been mined before, they still retain their most original state.
Whether it is the number of various fish or the size of the fish, they are far more than those on the east coast.
Because Daxia existed on the eastern coast before, with this kind of salt industry and fishery mining, these fishes were actually already caught in large numbers within the offshore range during the entire process.
Especially after Daxia stabilized, the population increased rapidly.
After the rapid growth of population, the demand for fish has also become extremely strong.
In addition, the trade network between the eastern sea area, the eastern coastal area and the interior of Daxia has been completely unblocked.
It can be said that before Zhang Bao's leadership, seafood may have been only some common foods for people in coastal areas.
After this kind of transportation convenience and this kind of opening up of commerce, people inside gradually began to come into contact with these new things.
Therefore, after there is a market, mining will be increased.
After increased mining, the actual situation of the sea areas in the eastern coastal areas will naturally be far greater than that in the southern seas.
So Zhang Bao and the others immediately adjusted their strategy.
On the one hand, it is to allow shipyards in various places to continue building ships.
On the other hand, the large-scale population actually led some people to move southward. Through the southward population and fishing in the ocean, they became familiar with the changes in the ocean climate, and then prepared for what was to come.
