Two days later, the sea was blue and the sky was clear.

My father-in-law stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the picturesque seascape, and wanted to chant poems to give it to the left and right, but he was really uneducated, so he could only lie on the waves.

Speaking of which, my father-in-law's physical fitness is really good, and his balance ability is also strong, and his subordinates were worried that he would definitely faint and vomit when he went to sea, after all, this sea is not as good as on the river, and his father-in-law will inevitably be uncomfortable as a northerner.

But I don't want to, my father-in-law's performance is impressive, and after a few days in a row, not only did he not vomit, but his spirit was not sluggish, but he was very vigorous.

In this regard, his father-in-law laughed and said that he was a water life.

It seems that the Wei family is really a water fate.

Although the wind and waves are large, but still in the controllable range, it is now the month of La, there is no typhoon transit, this weather is already very good.

After standing at the bow of the ship for a while, my father-in-law returned to the cabin and casually ordered: "Get the chart!" ”

Immediately, Ruan Dacheng mechanically took a chart and spread it out in front of his father-in-law, he was already used to this work. Besides, if you don't want to do it, you can't do it, in the vast sea, if you offend Eunuch Wei and start a mad attack to throw him Ruan Juren into the sea, then there will be nowhere to sue for wrongdoing.

The father-in-law is really good to Ruan Dacheng, and yesterday he asked him about his studies, and he was sure that Dacheng would definitely be named on the gold list, a high school jinshi. However, there is still a lot of training to be honed in the past few years, so there is no need to rush to enter Beijing for the exam, it is better to wait a few years.

"Let's see, in eight years, well, in the year of establishment, Dacheng's wish will be fulfilled, and there will be nobles in his life..."

Ruan Dacheng didn't know whether Eunuch Wei deliberately made fun of him, or Cheng wanted to block his imperial examination road, or if he really had the skill of seeing physiognomy, anyway, he asked Eunuch Wei to beat the drum in his heart, but it was impossible to listen to Eunuch Wei anyway, and if he took the examination after eight years, he had already made up his mind to enter Beijing in four years.

Fame should be made as soon as possible, and if you wait for four more years, you will lose four more years!

This will, but he doesn't dare to say his true thoughts, he just wants to be stable, and he wants to do things for the other party honestly, and the other party can always let him go.

Gonggong Wei knew that Ruan Dacheng would definitely not listen to what he said, but he really didn't bluff people, Ruan Dacheng couldn't be a jinshi in four years, this guy was a jinshi in the 47th examination of Wanli, and his hit nobleman Ma Shiying was also the jinshi of that session.

Whether he can listen to it or not is his Ruan Dacheng's business, and Father-in-law Wei will not do anything to hinder people's careers, but it is his own business that this guy hits the wall by himself four years later, and he can't be wronged Father-in-law Wei didn't remind him in advance.

The generals of the navy and the army were waiting in the cabin, and in the past two days the generals of the navy and the army had a great debate over how to take the port of Pingwa.

In the end, two proposals were reported.

The navy meant to rely on the superiority of the number of warships to besiege the port of Pingwa, cut off the communication between the port and the outside world, and then persuade the port to surrender, and strive to take the port at the lowest cost.

The biggest advantage of this plan is that in addition to reducing casualties, it can be regarded as relieving unnecessary troubles for Wei's father-in-law.

The disadvantage is that if the Pingwu side refuses to surrender, it will inevitably fall into a "protracted war." As time goes by, the first thing that can't hold on is probably the imperial army.

The army's plan was that the navy would launch an attack as soon as it arrived at Pingwei Port, cover the landing of the army, and then occupy it in one fell swoop.

Seek speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

The plan is similar to the previous military exercise held in Zhenjiang, that is, the process and experience of the previous exercise are applied to actual combat.

The Navy does not agree with the Army's plan, and in addition to considering "public opinion," that is, if it follows the Army's plan, then the credit will definitely be for the Army, and the Navy will at best assume a "cover."

In this way, after the deed is accomplished, the navy will not have much credit to be gained.

During the controversy, several Japanese officers of the army scolded the navy more than once for helping red deer.

When it reached the ears of Gonggong Wei, it was also an eye-opener, and he couldn't let the red deer dispute spread.

So, he personally convened a military meeting, and in the end, his old man made the decision and came up with a plan that was acceptable to both the navy and the army.

Specifically, the navy was responsible for destroying the warships in Pingwei Harbor and covering the landing of the army. That is, the Navy solves sea targets, and the Army solves land targets. The two sides cooperate with each other, and the credit is divided in half.

The father-in-law made a decision, and the matter was a foregone conclusion.

"Father-in-law, please look, we are in this position now, less than a day's schedule from the left thousand households in Dinghai." Wang Dali pointed to the chart brought by Ruan Dacheng and said.

Dinghai Zhongzuo Qianhu is also where Pingwei Port is located, and Dinghaiwei is Zhoushanwei.

The nautical chart is the original nautical chart of Wusong Shuiying, and from this nautical chart, all the key points have been depicted from Liaodong in the north to the Philippines in the south. Although it is still very rough and cannot be compared with the maps of later generations, it is still very rigorous on the whole, and there are no major mistakes. In terms of some small details, Grandpa Wei also made corrections with the help of memory.

Two copies of the charts corrected by my father-in-law have been issued to the Navy and the Army, and one copy to the General Staff Division. The father-in-law planned to distribute the charts to the flag level, which required extensive printing.

Therefore, my father-in-law planned to set up a printing house after he returned, and printed a large number of all kinds of nautical charts and maps of all countries. In addition, the General Staff Department has set up a special mapping agency to be responsible for detailed surveying and mapping of sea and land maps. It is not necessary to be exactly the same as the military maps of later generations, but also to be very similar to civilian maps. Because compared to the current military technology and war mode, civilian maps are enough for the needs of the imperial army.

Matteo Ricci and Li Zhizao made the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu" is now lying in Wanli's inner library, whether there is a copy or not, my father-in-law is not clear.

Matteo Ricci had already seen God, and Li Zhizao seemed to have a prejudice against his father-in-law Wei, so his father-in-law didn't think that the other party was willing to give him a copy, so his father-in-law took the time to draw a picture by himself, which was named "The Whole Map of the World".

After having this "Complete Map of the World", the generals of the navy and land armies knew that the world was so big, and there were not only the Ming Dynasty in the world, but also Europe, Africa, the Americas and other continents, as well as the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and other four oceans.

My father-in-law once said to the generals with enthusiasm: "In the future, our family will take you to see the world, see the world, and by the way, let you taste the taste of those overseas women." ”

When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up.

"When we arrive at Pingwa Port tomorrow, we will proceed according to the original plan."

When the Princesses wanted to inquire about the difficulties of the navy in the specific operation, a soldier outside the cabin reported that several ships had been spotted in the sea ahead.

Wang Dali hurriedly asked the two officers to go to the bow of the ship to look, and after a while they reported that it was too far to see what kind of ship it was, but the other side had six boats, which did not look like fishing boats, but probably merchant ships.

"This place is not far from Pingwei Port, is it possible that it is the ship of the left thousand households in the middle of Dinghai?" Cao Wenyao was a little skeptical.

"No matter what kind of ship it is, just go up and take a look."

Gonggong Wei waved his hand, led the generals out of the cabin, picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it for a while, and ordered a naval formation composed of more than forty warships to surround the six ships.
