The sky is clear and the wind is smooth.

After one month, all the preparations for the ocean navigation were finally done. On April 5, the rippling sea in front of the North Sea Port was filled with warships of various colors, and the port was filled with dense crowds of people seeing off.

The main force of the Ocean Fleet is composed of Pei Donglai and the Fireworks Monster.

The only difference is that Cai Mao was left behind and was responsible for continuing to train the Yashan Fleet in Yashan City. The three existing formations of the Yashan Fleet were merged into the North Bay Fleet in one breath.

In this way, the North Bay Fleet became the Nanyang Navy, the first fleet to reach full rank. What's strange is that although the fleet has reached full rank, the position of admiral is still vacant.

The navy generals recruited by Zheng He were basically the generals or battalions. As for the admiral, they were still lacking in quality. Even the meritorious generals like Cai Mao had not yet reached the throne of the admiral.

This long journey is different from the joint fleet. In addition to being equipped with various warships, there are also various special ships. There are grain ships that specialize in carrying grain, water ships that specialize in carrying fresh water, live livestock ships that specialize in transporting live livestock, horse ships that specialize in transporting horses, and even vegetable ships that specialize in growing vegetables.

As for cargo ships that transport porcelain and tea, there is even more to mention. There are even ships dedicated to the entertainment of sergeants and sailors, with opera troupes and some simple entertainment projects.

In short, all the necessary items for long-term navigation are prepared one by one. The ocean fleet will continue to sail on the sea for a month without having to go ashore to supply any supplies.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo's storage bag also stored a batch of emergency supplies.

During this voyage, Zheng He also prepared two special things, which were considered secret weapons.

First, it is the military doctor who was stationed in the fleet by the Official Medical Office.

According to Zheng He's requirements, every hundred people must be equipped with a military doctor. The ocean-going fleet, navy, sailors and crew combined have more than 10,000 people.

Therefore, the military doctors alone were equipped with more than 500 people, which was a luxurious lineup.

The biggest threat of ocean navigation is neither storm nor pirate invasion, but disease. It is inconspicuous, but enough to destroy an ocean fleet.

One of the diseases, the most terrible, is sepsis.

In the 14th century, many crew members of the Expedition Fleet led by Zelon and Columbus led by many of the crew members died of sepsis. The Chinese crew members at the same time were not troubled by this.

The root cause of sepsis is that the crew members cannot eat vegetables for a long time and lack vitamin C. The secret of Chinese crew members getting rid of sepsis lies in the second secret weapon - soybeans.

Chinese food culture is profound and profound. Just one ingredient of soybeans can make tofu, soy milk, bean sprouts, dried tofu, fermented tofu and other foods. Especially bean sprouts, it is even more magical. Because to a certain extent, bean sprouts can replace vegetables and contain a certain amount of vitamin C.

In addition to soybeans, there are also green teas I drink, which also contains a certain amount of vitamin C.

This is the secret of Zheng He's navigation.

...

This expedition is of historical significance to Shanhai City.

All officials at the level of the director-general of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate were here. The families of soldiers and sailors were also allowed to see off their relatives, and the dock was crowded with people.

I don’t know how many men will be buried in the sea when they go on the expedition.

Every time you go to sea to worship Mazu, it has become a custom for Shanhai City. This sacrificial activity has reached a new peak. The pier held the most grand sacrificial activity to pray for Mazu's blessing.

Mazu culture has long taken root in the territory.

The prosperity of the great navigation of Shanhai City is due to Mazu's protection.

The sacrifice is over and the auspicious time has come.

When Ouyang Shuo faced ministers Xiao He and other ministers, he bowed slightly and hugged his hands, "As long as the territory is concerned about government affairs, I will ask you all!" The ocean sailed without any information, and Ouyang Shuo could no longer care about the territory.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

After a little leaning, Xiao He took the lead and bowed to worship, "I am waiting for the Lord and Hou to return in triumphant success!"

Hundreds of officials and thousands of people all fell to the ground, scattered in darkness, which was very shocking. If outsiders saw this scene, they would be shocked.

The Marquis of Lianzhou already had a faint sense of a king, and the momentum of taking off became clearer.

Above the North Bay, in the misty clouds and mist, the lucky dragon that had been following Ouyang Shuo was affected by this, opened its sleeping giant eyes and glanced lightly.

Ouyang Shuo felt something and looked over the sky. In his eyes, there was naturally nothing. He nodded helplessly, glanced at Song Jia and Bing'er again, and turned around to climb the Dragon Head.

"Brother, come back early!" Bing'er shouted.

Ouyang Shuo waved to the little girl and left with a smile.

This separation will last for several months, or even half a year. It was just a pain for Song Jia. The two had just gotten married and had to stay alone in the empty bedroom before they had time to have a sweet time.

After Ouyang Shuo left, the burden of coordinating internal affairs of the alliance fell on Song Jia again. As a result, Song Jia gradually appeared on the wilderness stage and became a new member of the heroines.

Song Jia and others stood on the dock, watching the fleet slowly move away.

In the end, the fleet turned into a black dot and completely disappeared at the sea level ahead, leaving only the surging sea water. The sea and the sky were the same color, but they were no longer missing.

With thousands of miles of waves, Beihai Port has returned to tranquility again. It has become lively again, four or five months later.

***************

Riding on the winter monsoon, the ocean fleet slowly sailed away from the North Sea Port and rushed towards the unknown sea of ​​stars.

According to Zheng He's re-planned combat arrangement, each battleship is equipped with 10 robbers, 10 helmsmen, 20 snatchers, 10 snatchers, 10 snatchers, 10 snatchers, 10 snatchers, 10 snatchers, and 50 snatchers.

Each armored officer has 10 soldiers.

The configuration of other non-warships such as horse ships, grain ships, etc. is the same as that of warships.

Therefore, a warship is about 600 people. Every five warships is one sentry; every two sentries is one battalion. Therefore, an average of one naval battalion contains 5,500 sergeants and more than 700 crew members.

A navy formation with four naval battalions has far more than one army division.

The entire fleet adopts the [Flying Swallow spreads its wings] formation.

Specifically, the flagship is located at the core of the fleet, which is both safe and convenient for dispatching and command; the battleships line up on the periphery to form an iron wall barrier; the non-warships arrange the inner part to ensure safety and safety.

The entire fleet is like a geese spreading its wings, galloping in the sea. When the fleet encounters an attack, the bird-winged and swallowtail-shaped fleet can quickly expand its formation to meet the enemy, which has tactical mobility.

For fleet formation communication, in addition to conventional lights and flags, if there are heavy fog, wind and waves, and the sea view is poor, various gongs and drums are provided as signals to ensure the smooth sailing of the fleet.

Therefore, it is said that Zheng He's arrival was a qualitative process of improvement of the Nanyang Navy.

Compared with the boundless sea, the "sea swallow" of the Ocean Fleet seems extremely small.

...

On the calm sea, Xiaoqing floats out of the water from time to time, extremely refreshing.

Ouyang Shuo did not forget this long voyage, and brought this deep-sea overlord. At this time, Xiaoqing had already surpassed her father's size, becoming more and more hideous and terrifying.

With this spirit beast accompanying you, I am afraid that there will be a lot of fun.

In addition to the personal guards, Ouyang Shuo also recruited a thousand Shenwu Guards to accompany him. The sailing along the way was not all friendly places, and it was impossible to say that there would be a series of wars. The navy was naturally brave in fighting at sea, but Ouyang Shuo still trusted Shenwu Guards in land battles.

In the first few days of the voyage, I was still in the North Bay waters, so it was naturally smooth sailing.

The only difference is that when passing through the Annan Sea, Ouyang Shuo specially ordered a detour. He was worried that if the players in Annan District were really seeing them, they would peel them alive.

On April 10, the fleet finally left the North Bay waters, officially entered the Nanyang, and came to the Nansha Islands. The large and small islands here are like scattered, and this is even more so after the game map is expanded ten times.

It is reported that adventure players in Yashan City have already begun to explore this sea area. Countless islands have been set by Gaia as various strange adventure copies, becoming paradise for adventurers.

Shortly after entering the waters of the Nansha Islands, the sea gave the fleet a warning.

That afternoon, the weather was still sunny just now, and suddenly dark clouds were covered with dark clouds. The dark clouds were stacked one by one, and there was no limit at all.

Especially on the sea, from a distance, the layers of dark clouds are like pressing on the sea, making people feel very depressed and frightened.

Between the world, the entire fleet is like being surrounded by the sea and dark clouds. These two "lands" are piled up together. A small fleet may be crushed to pieces at any time.

The dangers of heaven and earth make people feel disgusted.

"The storm is coming!" Zheng He murmured to himself.

Sure enough, when the dark clouds covered the top, lightning and thunder suddenly rang out in the clouds. The violent lightning, close to the sea, splashing waves.

The rumbling thunder, one after another, made people tremble in their hearts.

Such dense lightning is like a thunderbolt and an electric mother, who have been parading together, with a huge momentum.

"This lightning is so bright." Zheng He's face became solemn. "If you send the order, all fleets will be prepared to resist the storm and must not slackew."

"promise!"

Zheng He knew that the territorial characteristics of Shanhai City were convenient for resisting sea storms. Even so, it would be difficult to escape in such violent weather.

Accompanied by lightning and thunder, a strong wind suddenly blew from the sea.

The howling wind rolled up huge waves on the sea.

The calm sea suddenly became violent.

The warships are on the sea, and as the huge waves are bumping up and down, there is a danger of overturning at any time. A huge wave comes and pours countless sea water onto the warships.

"Quick, scoop out the sea water."
