After a month, all the preparations for the ocean voyage were finally completed. On 5 April, the turquoise sea in front of Beihai Port was filled with warships of all kinds, and the harbor was crowded with people seeing off them.

The main force of the ocean-going fleet is composed of Pei Donglai and the Pyrotechnic Demon each commanding a formation.

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

In this way, the North Bay Fleet became the first fleet of the South Sea Naval Division to reach full strength. Strangely, although the fleet has reached full strength, the post of admiral is still vacant.

The generals recruited by Zheng He were basically the chief soldiers or battalion leaders. As for the Admiral, there is still a lack of fire. Even a meritorious general like Cai Mao has not yet reached the high position of commander.

This long voyage is different from the Combined Fleet, in addition to being equipped with all kinds of warships, there are also all kinds of special ships. There are grain ships that carry grain, water ships that carry fresh water, livestock ships that carry live livestock, horse ships that transport horses, and even vegetable ships that grow vegetables.

Not to mention cargo ships carrying porcelain and tea. There are even boats for the entertainment of sergeants and sailors, with theater troupes and some simple entertainment.

All in all, everything necessary for a long voyage is in place. The ocean-going fleet continued to sail at sea for a month without going ashore to replenish any supplies.

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

On this voyage, Zheng He also prepared two special things, which can be regarded as secret weapons.

One of them is the military doctor sent by the official medical department to the fleet.

According to Zheng He's requirements, every 100 people must be equipped with a military doctor. The ocean-going fleet, with sailors, sailors and crews combined, is more than 10,000 people.

Therefore, the military doctors alone are equipped with more than 500 people, which can be described as a luxurious lineup.

The greatest threat to ocean voyages is neither storms nor pirates, but disease. It is inconspicuous, but it is enough to destroy an ocean-going fleet.

One of the most terrible diseases is sepsis.

In the fourteenth century, many of the crew members of the expedition led by Gelen and Columbus died of sepsis. At the same time, the Chinese crew was not bothered by this.

The root cause of sepsis is that the crew has not been able to eat vegetables for a long time and lacks vitamin C. The secret of the Chinese crew's escape from sepsis lies in the second secret weapon - soybeans.

Chinese food culture is broad and profound. Soybeans alone can be used to make a variety of foods such as tofu, soy milk, bean sprouts, dried tofu, and tofu. Bean sprouts, in particular, are 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 is also green tea that is drunk, which also contains a certain amount of vitamin C.

This is the secret of Zheng He's voyage.

……

This expedition is of historical significance to Shanhai City.

Officials above the director level of the Southern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate were all present. The families of the sergeants and sailors were also allowed to see off their loved ones, and the docks were crowded.

On this expedition, I don't know how many sons will be buried in the sea.

Every time you go to sea, it is already a practice in Shanhai City to worship Mazu. This sacrificial activity has reached a new peak. The pier held the grandest event to worship Mazu, praying for Mazu's protection.

Mazu culture has long taken root in the territory.

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

The sacrifice is over, and the auspicious time has arrived.

Ouyang Shuo faced Xiao He and other ministers, and actually bowed slightly, clasping his hands around, "As soon as the territory is in charge of government affairs, please leave it to the Qing Dynasty!" "Sailing in the ocean, there is no news, and Ouyang Shuo can't take care of the territory anymore.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Leaning slightly, Xiao He took the lead and bowed down, "The ministers are waiting for the triumphant return of the prince!" ”

Hundreds of officials and thousands of people fell to their knees in unison, and the black pressure was overwhelming, which was very shocking. If such a scene is seen by outsiders, I am afraid that it will be shocking.

The Marquis of Lianzhou has faintly had the atmosphere of a king, and the momentum of take-off is becoming clearer and clearer.

In the sky above the North Bay, in the misty clouds, the luck dragon that had been following Ouyang Shuo was affected by this, and opened the giant eyes that had been sleeping all along, and glanced at it lightly.

Ouyang Shuo felt something and glanced at the sky. In his eyes, nature is nothing. He nodded helplessly, glanced at Song Jia and Bing'er again, and turned around to board the Dragon Head.

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

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

This parting will be a few months, or even half a year. It's just that Song Jia is bitter, the two have just gotten married, and before they have time to be sweet, they have to stay alone in the empty boudoir.

After Ouyang Shuo left, the burden of coordinating the 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 the others stood on the dock, watching the fleet slowly move away.

Eventually, the fleet turned into a black dot and completely disappeared into the sea in front of it, leaving only the surging water. The sea and the sky are the same, but they are people who no longer miss.

The waves were rough, and the North Harbour was once again quiet. It's been four or five months since it was lively again.

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

Riding the winter monsoon, the ocean-going fleet slowly sailed away from the North Sea Harbor and headed for the unknown sea of stars.

According to Zheng He's redrawn combat establishment, each warship was equipped with 10 thieves, 10 helmsmen, 20 commanders, 10 board recruits, 10 fighters, 10 commanders, and 50 commanders.

For each captain, there are 10 soldiers.

The configuration of the rest of the non-warships, such as horse ships and grain ships, is similar to that of warships.

So, one battleship was up and down six hundred people. and for every five warships, one sentry; For every two outposts, there is a battalion. Therefore, on average, a naval battalion contains 5,500 sergeants and a crew of more than 700 people.

A naval division formation consists of four naval division battalions, and its strength far exceeds that of an army division.

The formation of the entire fleet adopts the formation of [Flying Swallow Wings].

Specifically, the flagship is located at the core of the fleet, which is both safe and convenient for dispatch and command; The battleships lined up on the periphery, forming an iron barrier; Non-warship arrangements are inside to ensure safety.

The entire fleet, like a wild goose spreading its wings, galloped in the sea. When the fleet encounters an attack, the bird-wing swallowtail type formation fleet can quickly spread out to meet the enemy, and has tactical mobility.

In addition to the conventional lights and flags, if there is heavy fog, wind and waves, and the line of sight at sea is not good, various gongs and drums are prepared as signals to ensure the smooth navigation of the fleet.

Therefore, it is said that the arrival of Zheng He is a qualitative process for the promotion of the Nanyang naval division.

Compared with the boundless sea, the "petrel" of the ocean-going fleet is unusually small.

……

On the calm sea, Xiaoqing surfaced from time to time, and she was extremely happy.

On this voyage, Ouyang Shuo did not forget to take this deep-sea overlord with him. At this time, Xiaoqing's size had already surpassed that of his father, and he was becoming more and more hideous and terrifying.

With this spirit animal in company, I am afraid that it will give birth to a lot of fun.

On this voyage, in addition to the personal guards, Ouyang Shuo also recruited a thousand divine guards to accompany him. Sailing along the way, it is not all friendly places, and there will be a series of big battles. When the sailor fights at sea, he is naturally brave, but when he fights on land, Ouyang Shuo still trusts Shenwuwei.

The first few days of the voyage were still in the waters of the North Gulf, and it was naturally smooth sailing.

The only difference is that when passing through the waters of Annan, Ouyang Shuo deliberately ordered a detour. He was worried that if he was really going to be seen by the players in Annan District, he would not be able to skin them alive.

On 10 April, the fleet finally left the waters of the North Gulf and officially entered the South China Ocean and came to the waters of the Nansha Islands. The islands are dotted with large and small islands, and this is especially true after the game map has been expanded tenfold.

It is reported that some adventure players in Yashan City have already begun to explore in this sea area. Countless islands, set up by Gaia as all kinds of bizarre adventure copies, become a paradise for adventurers.

Soon after entering the waters of the Nansha Islands, the sea gave the fleet a disadvantage.

In the afternoon, the weather that had just been sunny and windy suddenly became cloudy. The dark clouds of black oppression, layer upon layer, are completely invisible.

Especially on the sea, looking from afar, the layers of dark clouds seem to be pressed on the sea, which makes people feel very depressed and frightened.

Between heaven and earth, the entire fleet is like being overwhelmed by the sea and dark clouds, and these two "lands" are piled together, and the small fleet may be crushed to pieces at any time.

The danger of heaven and earth makes people change.

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

Sure enough, when the dark clouds covered the top, lightning and thunder suddenly sounded in the clouds. Violent lightning, clinging to the surface of the sea, splashed waves.

The rumbling thunder, one after another, made people's hearts tremble.

Such a dense thunder and lightning, as if the thunder male and the electric mother, hand in hand, paraded here, the momentum is huge.

"This thunder and lightning is unusual." Zheng He's face became solemn, "Pass the order, all fleets are ready to resist the storm, and they must not slack off." ”

"No!"

Zheng He knew that the territorial characteristics of Shanhai City were convenient for resisting storms at sea. Even so, in the face of such violent weather, I am afraid it is difficult to get out of the whole body.

With lightning and thunder, a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea.

The howling wind swept the surface of the sea into huge waves.

The calm sea suddenly became violent.

The battleship was on the sea, tossing up and down with the huge waves, and there was a danger of capsizing at any time. A huge wave struck, dumping countless waves of sea water onto the battleship.

"Quick, scoop the water out."

The entire battleship was suddenly in a panic.
