851 Fleet Eastbound
In November, Li You brought a ship of dozens of tons of saltpeter mines back to Luzon from Huo Xun. This time, Yi Wu did not come back with him, because Huo Xun is indeed inseparable from her, the king who presides over the overall situation. There are not many things to deal with, but government decrees and some important things must be done with the king’s consent. At this stage, it is impossible to relax, unless the country is completely stabilized. Of course, it will take at least two or three. Time of year.
In Golden Port City, when Nangongyi left, he was the prime minister of Qin Feng. He was one of the cabinet ministers. The temporary act is reasonable. There is not much important thing to deal with here, so it doesn’t matter who has it. No more qualifications. Now that Nangong Yi came back, Qin Feng naturally returned the post of prime minister. Li You knows that Nangongyi made this arrangement to cultivate Qin Feng slowly. When he resigns, Qin Feng will be able to top him. Although Qin Feng is not very young, he has just passed the year, but after all he is in Datang. Is an official.
This difference is very big. Today, cabinet officials in Nan'an have limited capabilities and need to grow slowly, including those at the bottom of the promotion. Qin Feng is obviously more able to adapt to his role in front of them, plus time. Cultivation, it is estimated that when he is about forty years old, he will be able to really do the first phase firmly and well.
In the prime minister's residence next to the palace, after Qin Feng finished the handover, he told Nangongyi about Xiao Song's death. The meaning of his question was still very obvious. It just depends on whether you need to tell Li You, in Qin According to Feng, Xiao Qixue's current status is indeed not suitable for returning to Datang. The relationship between the two countries is inherently delicate. Xiao Qixue's return is undoubtedly making trouble for this side. If she is detained, the war can't be resolved smoothly.
Nangongyi naturally understood what Qin Feng meant, but he had a different opinion. He said to Qin Feng: "You don't need to worry about anything. As long as Concubine Xiao goes alone, you don't need to worry about anything if you don't bring the two princesses. Besides, even if you tell, Isn’t it too early for the funeral time? She will have some scruples. We'd better not conceal this kind of thing."
"Prime Minister, the Xiao family didn't dare to report the incident, because they have concerns."
"Their concerns are the same as yours. This is the case. As the minister of the cabinet, you have to judge the matter in the interests of the country, so that you can see the matter through and have the most accurate judgment. Datang is the decision. He doesn't want to go to war with us, so if only Concubine Xiao goes back, there will never be any accidents."
"Thank you for the Prime Minister's teachings, then I will go and tell the Lord."
When Xiao Qixue heard the news, she was sad for a long time, but in the end she didn't go back. She also had her worries, just like Qin Feng.
After the New Year’s Day, she didn’t think about these things anymore, because she was pregnant again. For her, she believed very much that she must be a boy this time, so she must maintain a good mentality. Take care of your body and look forward to having a fat son.
As for the fleet, they are already preparing. It took a long time to go this time, so you must be fully prepared, bring fewer people and more things. This is the guiding ideology.
In March, all the large ships deployed arrived at Hong Kong, and immediately after the shipment of materials began, everything was available, both weapons and fuel, even briquettes, not to mention those used for laying trestle bridges. Wood and other things, as for the rice, soy, and so on, I didn't take too much. Even the coconuts were stuffed in two compartments.
On March 10th, a fleet of three giant ships set off from Golden Port and traveled to the northern end of Luzon. From there, they headed straight to the east, without stopping halfway, but moving forward at full speed. Li You roughly knows that the distance is about 30,000 miles. With an average speed of twelve knots on a 100-meter boat, the boat can travel at least eight hundred miles a day, and it will take about a month to get there.
He doesn’t understand why he doesn’t use a high-speed boat. In his opinion, if you use a high-speed boat, you can save ten days at least. Li You didn’t bother to explain to him that the wind and waves of the high-speed boat would fight back. Sex can't be compared with a big ship, besides, carrying is also two concepts. This is the real ocean-going voyage. How dare you be careless, the sea can be calm, surging, or turbulent. The lonely ship on the sea is a fortress, and it must be able to withstand all impacts. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
Looking out at the boundless sea, it is completely unclear whether the end of the world or the corner of the sea, a completely blue world. Looking at the vast expanse of the sea in the distance, and looking up at the blue sky, Li Ruoyun stood on the bow and felt the strong sea breeze passing by, listening to the sound of waves coming from the ship breaking the sea. It's really different.
When I went to Huoxun last time, I leaned on the mainland and could see the land far away, but this time I couldn’t see anything except the sea and the sky. If it weren’t for how far Li You had said, OK. How long, I'm afraid she will worry about whether she will get lost in the vast sea, instead of feeling the magnificence of such waves.
Yesterday, the fleet encountered a black wind and huge waves. Li Ruoyun really understood the violent side of the sea, and the feeling of remaining after the disaster also made her feel a sense of awe.
"Ruoyun, are you okay?" Nangong Yi asked her.
Today's Li Ruoyun with her hair curled up and dressed in a strong costume looks very capable, but in essence, she is very weak, otherwise Nangong Yi would not ask about her, it was almost midnight last night , The fleet was out of the storm. At that time, Li Ruoyun was really scared to cry.
Li Ruoyun didn't look back, still looking far away, she said: "Yulang, when you are alive, it is enough to feel this way, I'm fine."
At this moment, the dog came over and said: "Sir, princess, have dinner, the lord of the country asked me to call you."
The boat has been on the sea for more than ten days, and there have been no fresh vegetables for a long time. What I eat is some bean sprouts and some seafood that I have raised. Although boring, it is considered good. This time, the three ships carried only 800 people, most of them were crew members, and there were only 300 people who were not crew members. There were very few people, so the consumption would naturally not be much.
After the meal, Nangongyi chatted with Li You, and he said, "A Lang, can there be a storm like yesterday?"
Li You handed a cup of tea ceremony to Nangong Yi: "Sir, this is God's will. How can people figure it out? Anyway, there are only ten days left. Even if there is, it may not be as big as yesterday's storm. We choose ourselves. There will be no storms at the time of the year, so sir, there is no need to worry."
Nangongyi took the tea, and then asked, "There is one more thing that worries me the most. Will the ship yaw?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as we keep going east, we can definitely reach it. It doesn't matter if we yaw a little bit. Anyway, we have a lot of time. I plan to stay for a year or a half and don’t find everything. I don’t. Will go back, to be honest, I don't want to come back again."
When sailing in the past, everyone did not feel that there was much psychological pressure, even if they had been at sea for a month, it didn’t matter. After all, they knew how far the distance was and where the destination was. But this time, everyone was a little nervous. After leaving Luzon, I never saw a piece of land, let alone an island. The crew didn’t know how long they had to travel, or whether the place they were going to exist or not. It seemed that the ship was heading towards The horizon is moving in general.
Until one day when the observers on the ship saw the land ahead in the afternoon, the people on the whole ship boiled. They traveled for thirty-two days and finally saw the land. As they got closer and closer to the coast, they knew, This is their destination. (End of this chapter)
