A thousand-stone sand boat, a four-hundred-ton sentry boat, a three-hundred-year-old Haicang boat, a two-hundred-year bird boat, an eight-foot centipede boat... Kang Lin couldn't help but feel as he looked at the Chinese-style sailboats with hard sails parked next to the newly erected trestle. Dachang, you know, he came to this world in just over a month, and he has developed from a naked warrior to a fleet commander with dozens of large ships and nearly a thousand men. Now he is relying on Donghaiwei commander Weng Yuli With his support, he easily got the position of Sixth Grade Guerrilla Hundred Households. It can be said that he is "proud in the spring breeze and his horseshoes are diseased". However, in this situation where the flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking, there is still a huge crisis hidden! Pirates, Japanese pirates, the Ming Dynasty government, the Western colonists who came from thousands of miles away, and even the conquerors of other worlds who came from the same origin as myself, these people are all peeping at me openly and secretly. One day, I will only show the slightest bit. If you show signs of weakness, they will pounce on you like hungry wolves and bite you! Therefore, he must hone his fists bigger and harder than them before that, and this plan to conquer Korea is the first step in this process. He must get everything he can from poor Korea. What you need to develop your own power! One day, I will reach the top and no longer have to be so passively pushed by the current situation, for sure!
"Very good. After I leave, you must pay attention to the construction of the camp. After the land is leveled, Sun and Gao can urge the young and strong to move the dry wood purchased from Donghai to the Dakou area and build houses to accommodate the elderly and the weak. , at the same time, some people need to be dispatched to build artillery forts near the dock on higher ground. In addition, a wall made of logs must also be put on the agenda. In short, when I return with a full load, I hope that I can build a fort here. Seeing a brand-new port town, gentlemen, please work hard with me!" I have to admit that Kang Lin, who received a systematic education in later universities, is very talented in inspiring people. Listening to what he said With the passionate words, even the old sea dog Liu Laoliu and Dongjiang veteran ruffian Fan Huzi could not help but show a wandering look on their faces. At this moment, they began to believe in their hearts that their own force could continue to grow and develop under the leadership of the young man in front of them, and then Become a super overlord who spans the world, a super overlord who can independently build a country!
Morning, the tenth day of the ninth lunar month.
After several days of intense preparations, Kang Lin finally boarded the flagship of the fleet one autumn morning, the 400-meter sentinel ship "Adventure" purchased from the Zhujiawan camp. They are twenty fully armed Iron Army soldiers, twenty of the best fusiliers, ten crossbowmen with excellent shooting skills, twenty powerful cold soldiers, and enough to operate all Ye Gong's magic guns. gunners, and on the Haicang boats, bird boats, and sand boats next to them, there were also a varying number of professional warriors climbing onto the big ships through hanging cables. This Chiyang expedition to Goryeo dispatched a total of seven ships, large and small, and 300 warriors of all types. If the sailors on each ship are added in, Chiyang would have more than 400 troops available for landing operations! Although these men may not seem to be many, they are all brave and capable elites. If used well, it is easy to defeat five or even ten times the number of enemies. It can be seen that Kang Lin and the leaders of Chiyang also worked hard for this expedition. !
"Commander, send a signal to all ships to respond to the flag!" On the sentry ship, Lin Ashui, the ship's chief with a shaved head and a red brocade robe, glanced at his leader who was sitting on the poop combat platform supervising the battle. Your Excellency, he gave instructions in a deep voice to his followers, and then he quickly walked downstairs to the mainmast of the ship, and gave the watchman above his first order after taking office!
First, the flagship waved the red and black flags on the ship, followed by the Haicang ship, the bird ship responded with the red and black flags, and finally the sand ship. The watcher on the centipede waved the two-color flag in his hand to show the flagship that he had After receiving the order from the former, they can rush to the battlefield at any time... The entire fleet responded to the flag very quickly, and it was completed in just dozens of seconds! After receiving the report from his personal entourage, Lin Ah Shui coldly issued the next order to pull out the anchor and raise the sail. The entire fleet circumnavigated the wellhead area, first heading east and then southeast, taking a relatively smooth ride. South wind, heading towards Seongsanwei. After arriving at the sea outside Seongsanwei, the whole fleet turned due east, aiming directly at Kanghwa Island in Korea!
The reason why the Chiyang fleet was able to take the shortest route to Goryeo without docking at coastal islands was in addition to thanks to Mr. Yang Liancheng for his surprise training of many Chiyang shipping managers and teaching them how to use navigation astrolabe and sextant. God, if it were summer or winter when the wind was raging, no matter how brave they were, they wouldn't dare to sail directly to Korea! But now, with the help of the big leader Kang Lin, they can barely understand the charts, and use simple navigation tools such as astrolabes and sextants to measure longitude and latitude. With God's help, the Chiyang fleet only uses It took two days to reach the outer sea of Chengshanwei! Although they also had kerosene lamps for lighting, they still did not dare to sail at night in complicated sea conditions. Therefore, they had to find a place to park the ship for the night as soon as it got dark. Fortunately, the expedition ships were all repaired and maintained in the East China Sea shipyard. It was able to maintain a good speed despite the circumstances, so the voyage was quite smooth!
The flagship of Chiyang Expedition Fleet, the 400-material sentinel ship "Adventure" is on the stern.
Unlike the other fleet crew members who had taken a light break after dinner, the lights were still brightly lit in the poop of the flagship. After leaving the navigator to guard the ship, the stewards of each ship took a small boat to the flagship to hold a regular meeting. As soon as they boarded the deck of the "Adventure" and entered the command module on the second floor, they were instantly blinded by the bright lights inside! In order to provide lighting, Kang Lin, a rich and frantic man, hung four kerosene lanterns on the surrounding bulkheads. He did not stop until the command cabin of more than 20 square meters was illuminated as bright as day!
"My Lord Chief (Kang Lin strictly ordered that no one can call himself Lord unless it is within the control of one's own side. He can be called Baihu or leader). According to the nautical astrolabe, the longitude and longitude measured by the sextant, combined with the nautical chart As shown in the picture, we have now reached the sea outside Chengshanwei. Next, we can no longer continue to the south, but turn due east and start crossing the Yellow River to the sea outside Goryeo. If God helps us and Mazu bless us, everything will go well. In two days, we can probably cross the Ganghwa Channel and arrive at Bangzi's left-behind department on the island!" God bless, and the advanced navigation tools on the ship make Lin Asui very confident about the upcoming voyage. Confidence, therefore, after seeing his leader turn his inquiring eyes on him, the man immediately straightened up, handed over his hands and reported the progress of the voyage to the leader. To be honest, he is a shaved Han with original sin. Therefore, if he wants to gain a foothold in the Chiyang fleet, which is dominated by Ming people, he must put in more effort and sweat than the latter. Therefore, in addition to managing the fleet and flagship every day, In addition to various matters on the "Adventure", this guy is still working tirelessly to improve all kinds of navigation knowledge, striving to get rid of the second-class treatment as soon as possible and become a real core of the fleet like Liu Laoliu, Yan Si, and Fan Huzi! In order to achieve this goal, he does not mind learning the boring process of charting, charting operations, and the use of navigation tools. He believes that only through his continuous efforts and decent results can he finally achieve the title of Chief Conlin. True trust!
"Send a bird boat to investigate the surrounding area to see if you can find an island or reef to anchor the boat. I have had enough of this damn broken wooden frame these days. It is shaking here and there all day long, which makes me lose my temper. I'm almost vomiting bile!" After quietly listening to the report of the captain of his flagship, Kang Lin poured a mouthful of slightly salty salt water into his mouth, and then suppressed the nausea on his lips. . He had suffered a lot in the past few days. The bumpy ship, the slow and fast waves, and the unpredictable weather made him feel strong discomfort. He originally thought that he would not get seasick, but he left the bathtub in the fleet. Like the North Sea, after entering the unpredictable yellow water ocean, the prototype was immediately revealed! Kang, who has been the master of pirates for so long, is actually not as lucky as the young boy. He had vomiting and diarrhea several times since last night. It was not until tonight when the boat docked that he vomited up his stomach and temporarily stopped. After coming down, he was leaning weakly on the couch, being supported by the boy Jixiang and feeding him light salt water. If he didn't eat some liquids, the poor fat man would probably burp and go to see the system master before he got to Korea!
"Okay, Sir!" Seeing that Kang Lin was really unable to continue presiding over the military meeting, Yan Si, the painting officer of Chiyangzan, took over the baton from the former without hesitation and began to preside over the next military meeting. First, he turned his attention to the man who was sitting upright. Dear boat stewards.
"Tomorrow we will leave the territory of the Ming Dynasty and enter the boundless Atlantic Ocean! Everyone, before arriving in Goryeo, on behalf of the leader, I would like to ask you to abide by your posts. Everyone should unsheath their swords and string their bows to prevent all possibilities. What an accident! And when the fleet sets sail tomorrow, it will be led by the two bird boats, followed by the sentinel boat, the sea cabin, the centipede boat in the middle, and the sand boat in the rear. The entire fleet will move in order, and each ship will communicate with the flag. Do you understand? "
"Yes, Lord Zan Hua!" Seeing Yan Si, the fleet's Zan Hua officer, with a stern look on his face and a solemn tone, Chiyang's ship managers did not dare to neglect, and immediately straightened their backs, raised their hands and agreed with a bang. Next, everyone respectfully sent off the leader Kang Lin to leave the command cabin, and then began the daily night study. There were only three items learned, including chart drawing, chart homework, astrolabe, use of sextant, Yan Si , Fan Huzi and Lin Ashui, as top students who have been praised and praised by Yang Liancheng, often use their time after dinner to make up lessons for others, because their leader once had a destiny, and all the boat managers must be proficient in the above three skills for a period of time. A strict assessment will be carried out after that. If you fail to pass the examination, you will be deprived of the title of Chief Shipping Officer and returned to the grassroots level to re-learn. When you pass the assessment, you will be re-employed!
