Chapter 11 Landing on the Island
The Shaosi Minghuo sailed north for two days under the south wind. Although there were winds and waves in the two days, they were all fine waves. The sea surface was like the vast blue sky above the head, which seemed peaceful and quiet. At this time, the people on the sea boat, including Zhu Zhu, who was most uncomfortable, were no longer nervous. At this time, the sea was not as good as the river waves that surged in Zhu Fangyi when the tide was rising, and it was gentle and swaying like a beauty in the Wei Kingdom.
However, Xiong Jing was a little uneasy at this time. He didn't know the latitude of Jeju Island, for fear of missing out and sailing to North Korea. Now there is only Jizi and North Korea on the Korean Peninsula. The king is called Run. The capital is probably in Pyongyang. There are no countries in the south, only tribes. Without countries, there are no cities and towns, and it is difficult to trade. Besides, he is not here to trade.
Another concern was whether Jeju Island really had 80,000 hectares of grassland in this era. It was the Mongolian's opinion that Jeju Island was suitable for raising horses, and 80,000 hectares of high-quality grassland was SB's catchphrase. Every time District 63 talked about the inability to raise horses in the south, the theory of raising horses in Jeju Island would come out. No one questioned the 80,000 hectares of grassland, an unknown source, which is never questioned. If the island is densely covered with forests, it would be over.
Standing on the deck of the stern floor of Shaosi Minghao, Xiong Jing did not search around with Lu Lijing like other people on the deck. He thought of a Jeju Island, which was full of forests, and couldn't help but smiled at himself.
"Bird! Bird!" The second-year student on the main deck shouted. A black seagull should be the curious sail of Shaosiming. It quickly passed by the top of the sail, leaving a series of loud chirping. The students on the deck all followed it and ran to the front of the deck. Hong Mou, who was looking at Lu Lijing, ran to the stern building, and laughed before he could speak.
When the seabird flew over, Xiong Jing was also shocked, which showed that he was already very close to the coast. "Let the Madam Xiang go east and look for it separately."
"Vei." Hong Mou agreed, and then ordered someone to utter a flag slogan for Mrs. Xiang behind him.
The mast is only thirteen or fourteen meters higher than the sea surface, and the position of the mast top is lower, and the visible position is estimated to be less than twenty kilometers. The area where the two ships search separately will be larger. Sure enough, less than half an hour apart, Mrs. Xiang called to indicate that there was land in the east.
"Is it land?" Land is completely different from islands. If it is land, there is no other possibility except Japan.
"Yes..." When Hong Mou answered, the flag utterance of Mrs. Xiang's name came again, this time talking about the island.
"Turn around." Sometimes it is land and sometimes it is island. Xiong Jing could only decide to turn around and take a look. However, he was ready to deviate in his heart. Mrs. Xiang must have seen an island like land, otherwise he would not have reacted like this.
"King, it's not just one island but several islands connected." After turning, the lookout hand on the mast finally received the exact information. The lush and green island not far away is not one island, but five islands. And the closer it is, the more broken the island appears.
"How should I?" Xiong Jing made a judgment in his heart, but he did not say it, but asked Wu Jieheng.
"Yangma Island is an island, and this should be Yingzhou." Wu Jieheng also made a judgment, "Please turn to 300 degrees."
The captain's mission is to manage the boatman, driving the sea boat, and leading the boat is Wushi's business. Hearing Wushi Heng say this, Hongmu looked at Xiong Jing again. Xiong Jing nodded and said, "We have deviated from the east and should go northwest."
"Turn the rudder and head for three hundred degrees." Hong Mou quickly issued a rudder order. Cooperating with the sail on the rear mast, the Shaosi Ming began to turn sharply. The bow of the boat was originally facing the northeast, but now it is almost 180 degrees, heading northwest.
Shaosi's mission turned, and after the flag was uttered, the Madam Xiang also turned. At the same time, the sailors began to turn the trusses again and adjusted the sail to the most suitable angle. The south wind was west, and the area of the sail with a sail of three hundred degrees was already very small, and the boating degree was suddenly reduced. The sailors tested only five sections and sailed until the sun set, and the lookout hand at the top of the mast did not find anything.
Jeju Island is actually between China, Japan and South Korea, and is closest to the Korean Peninsula, only 30 to 40 kilometers, and is a little farther away from Japan, about one or two hundred kilometers; it is the farthest from China, and it is estimated that it may be seven or eight hundred kilometers. If you just saw Japan, then Jeju Island should be in the northwest direction of 5 or 60 knots, and the speed of more than five knots requires twelve or three hours. Now it has been sailing for seven hours, if you happen to miss it at night...
"Order the sails to be reclaimed, leaving only the mainmast sail." Looking at the last ray of sunset in the west, Xiong Jing gave such an order. He could not anchor the boat in the deep sea, so he could only order the sailor to reclaim the sails to slow down.
"Shut sail." Hong Mou lowered his head in understanding, and he also had such concerns.
"Shut the sail!" After shouting, the sailors transferred from the boat to the sea boat to serve, the sailor monkeys climbed onto the mast crossbar and started to retract the sails. These people were extremely quick. Before it got dark, except for the main mast main sail and the rear mast main sail, the rest of the sails were closed and tightened. Now the boat speed almost floated with the ocean current, and the speed dropped to the slowest.
"We will be on the island tomorrow." In the restaurant downstairs, Xiong Jing toasted everyone after three meals. Four or five days have passed at sea, and the ministers have begun to get used to spending a table with the king. When Xiong Jing toasted everyone, everyone was filled with joy.
"I dare to ask the king, is what I saw today in Yingzhou?" Someone asked about Yingzhou. When talking about maritime affairs, there is always an immersive excitement.
"It's Yingzhou." Xiong Jing replied. He knew what everyone was thinking and said, "There are no immortals in Yingzhou."
"Since there are no immortals, why..." The legend of three immortal mountains overseas has been around for a long time. Even if you read the right historical books, you dare not say that there are no immortals in the world.
"There are only savages on the four islands of Yingzhou, and there are no immortals." Xiong Jing smiled. "If we climb Yingzhou today, the savages on the island will only consider us to be immortals."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed loudly. Thinking about it, I walked on the wind on the big valley, and went out of Zhufang for four days and climbed Yingzhou. It was indeed only the immortals could do it. "I congratulate the king. If there was a king, how could my Chu State have today?"
"I congratulate you for the king." Following Ma Yin, everyone competed for Xiong Jing, and there was no suspicion of being so excited.
"If there were no Chu people, how could our Chu State have today?" Xiong Jing naturally raised his knees. The three-year war with Qin State gave him the hope of Chu State. The Chu people he talked about were not only those who spoke Chu language, but also those who were rebellious, the Yue people who dared to die under the Chu State's rule, the pedantic Lu people, and the "stupid" Song people. He was proud of these people.
"Congratulations to those who swear not to obey Qin! Congratulations to those who will never be slaves!" Xiong Jing raised the wine cup higher, and everyone was ignited by his words. The wine in the cup was dried up, followed by a refreshing laughter and narration.
Hanging above the sea, drinking with the king, talking about the past of the military that had ended soon, under the pride, Zuo Shi, the most shy Zuo also drank a few drinks of wine. When recording, he wrote Xiong Jing's words in a crooked manner.
"I really don't know when I will fight again." Ma Yin sighed. He just lamented that there were no horse-drawn carriages in Yingdu.
"If the Qin people want to fight again, they should be frozen in winter." Zhu Zhu was eating canned tin. The Qin army withdrew its troops the winter of the previous year, and the carriages transporting food and fodder were inconvenient to cross the water, so they were burned and tens of thousands of horses were killed. Because it was winter, the horse corpse had not rotted, so they built a mansion to make it into canned meat.
"The Qin people's boat troops cannot defeat me. If they attack me again, they should be in winter." The Right Historian fully agreed with Zhu Zhu's opinion. "I think that the Qin people will fight again and attack Zhao. Zhao has destroyed Yan State, and the Prince of Yan is eager to restore the country. The Qin King must help him restore the country. Later, the Yan people do not think about Ji's surname, and all the land of Yan belongs to the Zhao people, and there is no hope of restoring the country."
The analysis of the Right Historian is the same as that of the Grand Sima Mansion, and the analysis of the Peters Office, is the same as that of the Right Prime Minister, Xiong Qi, as the Right Prime Minister, has never sent any news. Although he is only the Right Prime Minister who manages civil affairs, the Guowei Mansion is under the jurisdiction of Wei Liao, and the Shaofu is under the jurisdiction of King Zhao Zheng of Qin. However, the war involves all aspects, as long as the Guowei Mansion recruits Ding Zhuang, he can always hear some news. There is no news now, and I really don’t know what medicine is sold in the Qin gourd.
"My Great Chu now has a sea boat again," Hong Mou drank very little because of his restraint, but his cheeks were still red when he was young, which was excited. The young man only felt that the blood in his body was burning. "If Qin State regained Yan, our army could attack him from the sea."
"The sea boat is still rare, so it's not enough to attack." Ma Yin's concern about the island of Yunmai, had a deep understanding of the construction of the sea boat.
"The Bohai Sea is the inner sea. If the port of Qi State can allow our Chu State boat troops to dock, the boat troops can attack Yan." Hong Mou talked about the boat troops again.
"When the sea boat arrives at Qi, both Qi people are, let alone the boat army? The defense of Qi is against the land and the sea. If our Chu boat army comes from the sea to Qi, the King of Qi will not be able to sleep or eat. If the Qin people send envoys to tell him, Qi will reject our boat army. Qin attacks Zhao, it will be difficult to save him." The Right Shi knew the politics of the countries better than a young man like Hong Mou, and he concluded that Qi would not be happy that the Chu boat army would pass through.
Another meaning that he was not easy to say was that the people in China were unwilling to save Zhao, and the Yue people in the south were even more unwilling to save him. At most, the Chu Zhou army patrolled and cruised on the river to block Qin's grain transport, and it was impossible to really send troops to attack Qin's cities on both sides of the river. It was impossible to attack the old Ying land west of the Dabie Mountains, at least it was not possible in the past few years.
"He must go through the sea to save Zhao," Zhu Zhu, who did not know how to judge, said loudly. "Entering the river in the Great River in the Great River in the Qin Dynasty. As soon as our army entered the Great River, the Qin people would hide in the city and dare not come out, so they would let me attack."
"Ahem," the bell for shift change in the middle of the night rang at this moment. Xiong Jing coughed, "It's getting late, and I'm going to land on the island tomorrow, so I'll go back to the cabin to rest first."
"I am leaving." The people stood up and bowed and came out one after another.
