Chapter 168 The Fleet Goes to Sea! (fourth more)
Zhang Xiu and Yongjia took the servants and maids back to Lin'an City.
Zhang Xiu didn't know that after she left Lin'an with Xiao Qi, the ministers in the capital almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Although Zhang Xiu didn't hit a few people with that crutch, it was a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads.
Everyone is afraid that one day they will offend Zhang Xiu and be beaten up by Zhang Xiu, or force the whole family to climb a tree. This is the most embarrassing thing. Although officials love face, they don't take embarrassment that seriously.
What they are most afraid of is that Zhang Xiu will make up his mind to deal with you. If he goes home to trouble you every day, he will not only be ashamed, but also lose his official position. There is no other way to go except to resign and run away.
These days, those sons and dandies in the capital are having fun in Lin'an City as if they were celebrating the New Year.
When Zhang Xiu was here before, these trouble-making elders were worried that these useless things would be finished if they accidentally provoke Zhang Xiu.
I would rather keep them at home than let them out casually.
Now that the two princesses Zhang Xiu and Yongjia have left the capital, these people have been let out by their families for some air.
However, this group of guys were strongly suppressed by the family and were not allowed to go out, which also wore off a lot of their perverted spirit.
These days, few people caused these disasters before, which made their family feel relieved a lot.
However, these ministers and those dandies were happy for more than three months, and Zhang Xiu and Yongjia returned to Lin'an City.
The ministers who got the news immediately pretended to be quails, and the gang of playboys who just wanted to show their true colors were locked up at home again.
Yongjia was fine, he was a child, he went outside to play a lot, and when he got home, he was busy taking care of the family property.
The more Zhang Xiu thought about it, the more unhappy he became, thinking that it was these old women from Changsheng Camp who made it impossible for him to go to sea with his man.
Immediately told Yongjia to take care of the property at home, and she led ten court ladies and thirty servants, and rode to the fief thousands of miles away to find someone to vent their anger.
When they arrived at the place, they began to inspect the various military camps without saying a word.
Every time I go to a military camp, I call the officers and officers of that military camp to test and teach them martial arts.
These generals and officers, from battalion officials to Qin Tu and others from the fourth rank, none of them could escape, and all of them were beaten up with bruised noses and swollen faces.
Qin Tu, Ma Shoucheng, Lin Zheng, and Zhang Jiangong gathered together and guessed for a long time, but they couldn't guess what happened to the lady.
After thinking about everything, nothing has offended this aunt!
In the end, it was Lin Zhenggui who had a lot of ideas, so he asked those servants. These servants were originally old people from the Changsheng camp. When they met many times, these four people were just low-level camp leaders.
These servants finally told them that the King of Zhenbei was going to sea, and he was worried that the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion would get into trouble, so he asked the eldest lady to take care of them. The eldest lady wanted to go to sea with the prince because she was unhappy about being assigned a mission by the prince. .
Only then did these people understand what was going on, and hurried back to find all the generals under him, and warned them that the eldest lady is sulking now, and told all the soldiers to put their tails on me.
Don't cause trouble at this juncture, otherwise we will be skinned if we don't die.
After hearing this, the generals rushed to inform their subordinates.
Only then did these soldiers know what happened when they saw the big princess beating those officials one by one in the school grounds a few days ago.
Back then they applauded the great princess for her super high combat power, but now they are fine, because they were afraid that they would cause trouble, and the princess was not able to go to sea with King Zhenbei, and the princess was not happy.
These guys all stayed in the barracks with their necks shrunk, and they didn't dare to go out of the barracks for a walk if they had nothing to do.
I was afraid that if something happened, the princess would find the reason and be severely repaired.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiu dealt with the gang of thieves in the fiefdom, and no one dared to cause trouble.
After Xiao Qi replenished the "Shanghai" with various explosive projectiles and cast-iron bombs, he led more than 30 large ships that had completed supplies to go to sea for the first time.
This time they went to sea with a total of 1000 soldiers, more than [-] silver miners, and all their tools and items.
With an order, these more than 30 large ships, together with the "Shanghai", sailed to the open sea.
When these dozens of large ships sailed out of the military port together, they could be regarded as covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
In this era, a large ship of ten to twenty feet is already considered a giant. This time, more than 30 ships sailed to the open sea together.
The sight was truly a spectacle.
Even the officials on these more than 30 ships were shocked by the mighty scene and could not speak.
This is the first time in my life that I have experienced such an awesome scene!
In the past, it was very rare to see such a large ship at each state capital dock. Now, the sight of dozens of such large ships traveling together makes every soldier on the warship feel excited.
It feels like all the naval forces in the world can't resist the huge fleet of Song Dynasty.
Xiao Qi let his fleet sail according to the route he had set before, cutting through the waves and going straight to the north.
In order to clarify the situation along the route, Xiao Qi asked people to record all the conditions around the route along the way, and every time they encountered a small island, they stopped the boat and sent people to check if there was any fresh water.
When fresh water was available to drink, he recorded it on his chart and marked it with a water replenishment mark.
When encountering larger islands with fresh water, Xiao Qi marked the key points. In the future, a small supply station will be established here, and some soldiers will be stationed on it to provide supplies for ships traveling on this route.
He planned to conquer Dongying in the future. In addition to transporting silver from there, he could also sell things from the Song Dynasty there to form a trade.
In this way, those smaller merchant ships can come to these supply stations guarded by soldiers for help if they encounter any danger halfway.
Almost every small island with lush vegetation along the way, Xiao Qi would send people to check it out, and name and mark it, so that the speed of their fleet could not be increased, it can be said to be very slow.
However, as more and more things were marked on the navigation route map in Xiao Qi's hand, Xiao Qi felt more and more relaxed.
Along the way, not only seven or eight small islands with fresh water were discovered, but there were also two large islands, which were not only rich in fresh water, but also large in size, so it would be no problem to deploy two hundred troops on them.
In order to maintain the water and soil on the small island, the fertile land does not need to grow food, but it is not a problem to create a few vegetable fields for the soldiers to grow their own vegetables.
After walking and stopping like this for more than half a month, a big island appeared in front of him. I looked at the location on the chart, and it was probably the island of the universe country in the previous life.
Xiao Qi is not polite at all. What I see is my mother-in-law. It doesn’t matter whether you call it Chicken Feather Island or Ya Feo Island. Now I have named Bird Shit Island!
Let the signaler send an order to go to ten smaller warships to see if there is a dock or something on this island, and take the island down. This will be the largest supply station for my Changsheng battalion navy in this sea area in the future.
After receiving the military order, the ten warships, which were more than ten feet tall, immediately sailed out of the fleet and headed towards the small island ahead.
The island is quite large and there must have been people living on it. However, in this era, the various facilities on such an island are very rudimentary and there are not many residents on the island.
There were hundreds of soldiers, but how could they be the opponents of the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion who landed on the island, and soon the control of the island was in the hands of the Song Army.
The 'Shanghai' ship that Xiao Qi was on was too big, and the pier on this island was too small.
The "Shanghai" could only stop at a place a little further from the pier. Xiao Qi got off the boat and came to the island by boat.
The area of this island is indeed large enough, and there is plenty of fresh water on it. Not only can vegetables and food be grown, but as long as the logistics supply is guaranteed, there is no problem at all for an army of tens of thousands of people stationed on it.
After the development of the island is completed in the future, maybe [-] troops stationed here can guarantee self-sufficiency.
