As soon as the affairs of Xingzhou County were properly handled, the ocean-going fleet was ready to set off again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before setting off, Ouyang Shuo deliberately returned to Shanhai City. For nothing else, Ouyang Shuo has not yet used the first recruitment opportunity of the hidden building [Dianjiangtai] rewarded by Gaia.

[Dianjiangtai] can designate the recruitment of a historical general below the god level, which is good, but it is still necessary to think hard about which military general to recruit.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo was still ready to recruit another general of the water division.

Water warfare in ancient China has never been the mainstream, and famous sailor generals are rare compared to other famous generals. Ouyang Shuo likes Zhou Yu, Yu Dayou and Zheng Chenggong.

Because Zhou Yu was the protagonist of the next battle [Battle of Red Cliffs], Ouyang Shuo could not recruit and could only give up regretfully. Zheng Chenggong has a deep hatred with Shi Lang, the commander of the Jiaozhou fleet, and it is not suitable for recruitment.

Pick and choose, only Yu Dayou remains.

In the pavilion of the generals, a white light flashed, showing a middle-aged general, with a broad face and a beard, and a sense of sorrow on his face, which was Yu Dayou, the general of the Ming Dynasty.

"The last general, Yu Dayou, meet the lord!" Yu Dayou bowed his head.

"General, please get up!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and took the opportunity to check Yu Dayou's attributes.

[Name]: Yu Dayou (Imperial Rank)

[Title]: One of the top ten sailor generals in ancient China

[Dynasty]: Ming Dynasty

[Identity]: General of Shanhai City

[Profession]: Special general

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 86 [Force]: 85 [Intelligence]: 70 [Politics]: 60

[Specialty]: Removing Kou (In the face of the Japanese or the Eastern Naval Division, increase the range and power of the artillery by 30%, increase the speed of the battleship by 35%, increase the defense of the battleship by 30%, and increase the morale of the naval division by 35%)

[Classics]: "The Art of War"

[Exercises]: "The Book of Swords"

[Weapon]: Jing Chu Long Sword

[Evaluation]: The big negative strange festival, with the ancient sages and heroes. Its use of troops, first plan and then fight, not greedy for quick success. There is grace under the control, and the number of great achievements has been made, and the prestige is Zhennanfu. Loyal to the country, old and dedicated, there is a great honor.

Yu Dayou has a strange festival and takes the ancient sages and heroes as his model. He used soldiers, first strategized and then conquered, had a far-sighted vision, and was not greedy for quick success. Loyalty to the spirit of the country is old and strong, and he has made great achievements everywhere he goes.

It is precisely because of taking Haoshi as a model that Yu Dayou not only wrote military works such as "The Art of War", but also martial arts works such as "The Book of Swords".

When it comes to the "Sword Sutra", ordinary people will think that this is a sword classic. In fact, this is not the case, "The Book of Swords" is a monograph on stick art written by Yu Dayou.

When it comes to Yu Dayou's stick method, it has a lot to do with the [Shaolin Temple] that has not yet appeared in the wilderness.

In the 40th year of Jiajing, Yu Dayou, who was proficient in Jingchu long sword, was ordered to go south and went to Songshan Shaolin to watch the warrior monk's stick skills, but he was disappointed and thought that Shaolin Kung Fu had lost the true knowledge of the ancients.

At the request of the host of the Shaolin Temple, Yu Dayou took the young and brave Zong Qing and Pu Cong, and followed him south into the camp.

Three years later, the two monks returned to Shaolin and transferred the teachings to the temple.

Thirteen years later, Zong Qing saw Yu Dayou again and told him that Pu Cong had turned into a foreign body, but he returned to the temple to pass on the sword technique Zen precepts, and the monks had the deepest nearly 100 people, and their transmission could be eternal.

It can be seen that the Shaolin stick method actually benefits from Yu Dayou.

Of course, martial arts are only a side branch, and what Yu Dayou is really good at is water warfare, especially fighting against the Japanese invaders. In advance of Yu Dayou's exploits, we have to mention the trouble of the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and some Japanese samurai came to the coastal areas of China to operate, and the Ming Dynasty began as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. In the Jiajing period, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty declined, the traitors of the court were in power, and there were constant wars in Japan, and the trouble of the Ming Dynasty reached its peak.

Due to the further development of the commodity economy, foreign trade at that time was already quite developed. Maritime trade along the coast was also profitable, but because of the "sea ban" of the Ming Dynasty, trade with foreign countries was strictly forbidden.

Tea, porcelain and silk produced in China can be sold overseas at a good price, and it is said that the price of silk transported to Nanyang can be increased tenfold. As a result, some Chinese merchants or pirates, such as Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, began to collude with the Japanese in order to make a fortune in business, forming a maritime smuggling syndicate, which made the Japanese plague more and more serious.

Those merchants also became part of the "Japanese Invaders", and only then did the "Ming History and Japanese Chronicles" say: "About three out of ten true Japanese people, seven out of ten Japanese people".

As a result, a group of famous anti-Japanese generals were also born.

The most famous of them is, naturally, Qi Jiguang, known as a national hero.

Yu Dayou, a contemporary, spent almost all his life fighting against the Japanese invaders, and his military exploits were outstanding, and the "Yu Family Army" led by him could even scare the enemy away, and Qi Jiguang was called "Yu Long Qi Hu", and jointly swept away the Japanese who had been suffering for many years, as well as the pseudo-Japanese who took the opportunity to make trouble.

What is rare is that although Yu Dayou has made a lot of achievements, he is often impeached and dismissed, and even has been impersonated by others many times, but Yu Dayou never cares, and still goes all out to fight against the Japanese.

Such a big general is really rare.

……

On the same day, Ouyang Shuo issued the appointment of Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou was appointed as the Admiral of the Naval Division of the Yashan Fleet, and he was awarded the rank of "General Zhenhai". As a result, only the North Bay Fleet, which was established at the earliest, was left in the four fleets of the Nanyang Naval Division, and there was no commander in charge.

It stands to reason that Yu Dayou's best skill is dealing with the Japanese Invaders, and his specialty [Removing the Kou] is specially set for the Dongying Water Division. However, the sea area near Dongying is still too far away from Shanhai City, and it is beyond the reach of the whip.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo could only appoint Yu Dayou as the commander of the Yashan fleet first, and then make plans later. Ouyang Shuo believed that the day when the sailors sent to the east would definitely not be far away.

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

May 10, Sin Chew Harbour.

The ocean-going fleet is resupplied and set out on the journey again.

From Sin Chau Harbor, the fleet passed through the Strait of Malacca, then crossed the Gretel Strait, and entered the Indian Ocean, followed by the real endless ocean.

In the vast ocean, if there is no star pulling technique, I am afraid that I can't even grasp the course.

Because of the delay in Southeast Asia for nearly a month, the ocean-going fleet must enter the Red Sea before the end of summer, so Ouyang Shuo has no intention of dealing with Tianzhu and other countries this time.

The ocean-going fleet made a two-day stop in Sri Lanka, south of Tianzhu, and after a short supply of supplies, it set off again, and the next stop was Somalia in the Gulf of Aden.

Ouyang Shuo planned that after replenishing supplies in Somalia, he would directly cross the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and enter the Red Sea.

The voyage from the Strait of Malacca to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is the longest section of the entire ocean-going voyage, even in reality, it is six or seven thousand kilometers.

Ten times the size of the game, it is even more unthinkable.

At the speed of an ancient ship, it would have taken at least three months to complete this mileage.

If you calculate the whole journey, it will take at least a year to make a round trip from the UK to China. In the calculation of ten years of the game, intercontinental ocean trade is basically impossible to achieve because the cost is too high.

In reality, it only takes two months to make a round trip.

Gaia obviously didn't intend to make things so difficult for the player, in fact, once the fleet entered the high seas, it would enter the "fast sailing lane", and it would only take twenty days to cross the Indian Ocean, which was quite amazing.

……

On 10 June, the ocean-going fleet arrived in Somalia and docked at the port of Berbera.

The Port of Berbera is located on the northwest coast of Somalia, bordering the southwest side of the Gulf of Aden and adjacent to the Port of Djibouti on the southern shore of the Gulf of Aden.

When it comes to Somalia, one has to mention Somali pirates.

Somali pirates, a group of pirates who commit robbery or kidnapping in the Gulf of Aden, are a group of criminals who specialize in robbing passing ships and property in the waters off Somalia.

The Gulf of Aden is strategically located between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, and is the maritime choke point from the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

There are countless boats that come to play in the Gulf of Aden every day.

At the same time, the narrow shipping lanes off Somali make it an ideal location for piracy.

With such a favorable time and place, it is natural to derive a group of pirate organizations. In reality, Somali pirates, under the crackdown of various countries, have long disappeared. In the game, Gaia reinterprets this period of history.

Therefore, as soon as the ocean-going fleet entered the Gulf of Aden, Ouyang Shuo reminded Zheng He to be vigilant at all times. Strangely, there were no pirate attacks until the fleet landed.

"Are those pirates afraid to approach us when they see that we are warships?" Zheng He judged so.

Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal, "I don't rule out this possibility." Even so, it is not to be taken lightly. Immediately after the replenishment, the fleet set out for a flight across the Red Sea. ”

"No!"

Zheng He received the order and began to arrange supplies.

As for how to replenish, Zheng He is naturally familiar with it, and there is no need for Ouyang Shuo to worry about it.

After staying on the boat for a long time, Ouyang Shuo was also a little depressed. After the fleet docked, he took a small group of guards and disembarked with him, ready to go to the harbor.

The Port of Berbera is a distribution center and commercial center for agricultural and livestock products in the northern region of Somalia, and a large number of farmers drive their livestock here every year, and most of the country's live animal exports transit through the port.

As soon as you enter the port, you can see farmers and merchants driving their livestock everywhere.

With its dirty harbor, potholed roads, livestock manure and noisy shouting, the port of Berbera is not a suitable place to relax.

Ouyang Shuo walked for less than ten minutes before he wanted to return to the boat, the smell in the air was too bad.

"Junhou, there's a tavern there!" Chen Dameng is sharp-eyed.

Ouyang Shuo looked up and saw a three-story wooden house with a wine glass logo hanging at the door. Before I got closer, I heard a bustle, but it was a tavern.

"Let's go, let's have a drink!"

Ouyang Shuo's heart moved, in addition to drinking, the tavern was also a place where information gathered.
