Chapter 245 Unexpected joy

Qizhou Ocean was called Jiuzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, Qizhou Ocean has been a must-pass place from Quanzhou to foreign countries. It is an important section of the Maritime Silk Road, so it has seven islands named.

"Your Highness, there are subordinates in front of you, right?" After entering the strait, the ship turned to the southeast and raised sails and went down the wind. Zheng Yong asked.

"Why?" Zhao Bing said in a little puzzled manner. He saw that the sea surface was very calm and nothing special, but for some reason he had to take the initiative to ask for navigation.

"Your Highness doesn't know that these seven continents seem to be calm, but in fact there are many undercurrents and are known for their dangers. Since ancient times, the boat master has said: I am afraid of going to the seven continents and returning to the Kunlun." Zheng Yong said with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, what Commander Zheng said is that there are countless shipwrecks in this sea area, so we must avoid them when patrolling the sea." Zhang Hao, captain of the Warrior, interjected.

"Zheng Yong, can you do it?" Zhao Bing turned to Zheng Yong and asked seriously after hearing this.

"Your Highness, there are many fish in the Qizhou Ocean. We gangsters fish here every year and rely on the island to take shelter from the wind. Therefore, we are very familiar with the sea conditions!" Zheng Yong replied.

"Okay, Zheng Yong will temporarily take over the Warriors' boat division." Zhao Bing thought about it and agreed, "Sent to the entire army to change its formation, change its front arrow into a single column, and open the distance, use the Warriors as the vanguard ship, and cut the ship behind!"

"Your Highness, isn't this good?" Everyone was stunned. There was no reason to let the coach ship serve as the pioneer ship.

"What's wrong with it?" Zhao Bing turned around and glared at them.

"Your Highness is a man of a thousand gold medals, and the vanguard ship is the first to catch the enemy, so it is the most dangerous. Please take it back!" Zhang Hao said with politeness.

"My life is life, your life is not life, or the lives of those sailors are not life? No one's life is precious when they are on the formation. I'll send an order!" Zhao Bing stretched out his fat fingers and pointed at several people. He wanted to lit their foreheads and said, but he was too young to touch his waist.

"..." After hearing this, the words of Your Highness made people feel warm and refreshed, but who dared to give orders!

"If you don't follow the order, Ni Liang, kill this person on the spot and Wang Meng takes over as the captain!" Zhao Bing looked at the group of people with big eyes and stared at Zhang Hao and said loudly.

"Abide by the king's order!" Ni Liang, no matter who you are, as long as your highness gives orders, the King of Heaven will dare to go up and cut twice, and then he will run away.

"Abide by the commander's order, raise the commander's flag, and change the signal!" Zhang Hao saw Ni Liang coming to him, and he immediately bowed.

"It is a taboo to kill the generals at the last minute. I will let you go this time. Who dares to violate the order of the coach? Just rectify the Dharma on the spot!" Zhao Bing roared with murderous aura.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Everyone looked like a child who was furious, but there was a knife standing behind him. No one dared to laugh, and bowed and answered in unison...

The situation was unclear, and Zhao Bing did not dare to urge the ship to move quickly, for fear of missing the imperial fleet. However, when they arrived at the sea of ​​Qizhou, no large fleet was seen passing by except for the scattered fishing boats. The sentry ships that were sent out in advance also received one after another, and there was no appearance within a radius of thirty miles. Zhao Bing was a little glad, but also a little disappointed. He could only implement the established plan and sail into Qizhou Island and hide.

Qizhou Island is not an island, but consists of seven islands, including Nanzhi, Shuangfan, Chizhi, Dog Egg, Dingzhi, North Zhi, Pingzhi, Pingzhi, Pingzhi, and Pingzhi, which protrude from south to north and arrange in a curved shape. It is more than 20 miles long and is distributed into two parts, with Nanzhi, Shuangfan, and Chizhi in the south. The three islands are closely adjacent to each other. The north and south are Beizhi, Pingzhi, Dengzhi, and Dog Egg are connected into one. The north and south are more than ten miles apart, facing each other.

There are two stone rows on the eastern side of the north of Nanzhi, which are slanted towards Nanzhi Island, forming a calm area, which is a good place for mooring boats to rest. Under Zheng Yong's guidance, the warships of the Dafeng Army sailed in accordingly, lowered their sails and moored the boats here. The rest of the matter was arranged by Chen Renweng, who sent a lookout post on the commanding heights to observe the movements on the sea, and sent a warning to the island to control the waterways between the islands to prevent fishing boats from entering.

Zhao Bing stood outside the cabin door and observed that the foundations of several islands were made of rocks, six mountains were continuous, and there was a wide slope to the west. The island was densely packed with weeds and low shrubs, and there were several deep caves on the stone wall. This was a rare geological wonder in the world - the erosion tunnel. If he had to go in and take a look, he was not in a mood now.

Another prominent feature is that there are birds everywhere, which can be said to be a true paradise for birds. There are countless gulls and birds above the island. What’s even more strange is that these birds are lazy and do not make nests. They lay eggs on cliffs near the sea, one in the east and one in the west, and the birds hide under the rocks to hatch eggs, and pass on the family line. Of course, they are inevitably attacked by bird droppings...

"Your Highness, there is no trace of the imperial fleet that connects the two types of sentry ships." Chen Renweng passed by the ship and reported.

"Well, they won't change the route, right?" Zhao Bing was a little irritated. The court fleet did not have the possibility of sailing to the strait or docking near Leizhou as it was speculated that it would be possible for him to go to the strait or dock near Leizhou. He was in vain and caused trouble in the martial arts.

"Your Highness, my subordinates think there is no one for the time being, otherwise the Qixing Ridge would have a beacon fire to warn, but now no smoke is rising." Chen Renweng said.

"Will the imperial fleet drift to Leizhou?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"It shouldn't be. The subordinates thought that Your Highness's guess was right. The court fleet was running for life, so they would never turn to Leizhou." Chen Renweng said.

"Then we can only wait for the rabbit and let the wardrobe patrol day and night, and don't let it go." Chen Renweng said this, which made Zhao Bing more confident in his judgment, and there was no other way at the moment, but only wait.

"Your Highness, there is no place to put bird dropping on this island, so don't go ashore." Zhao Bing didn't sleep all night last night, so he wanted to take the opportunity to go ashore to wake up his spirits. As soon as he raised his legs, he was stopped by Chen Renweng.

"Oh, you said the island is full of bird droppings?" Zhao Bing turned around and looked up and asked back.

"Yes, Your Highness, you see that I only walked a few steps and there were several stalls of bird droppings. There were more on the island, and some places were a few feet thick." Chen Renweng also calmed down from the excitement of receiving the order to fight. His Highness followed the Fighting Army to fight and said that he was looking at himself, but in fact he was holding a gunpowder jar. If he didn't do it well, he would blow himself and Fighting Army to pieces. Seeing His Highness ask, he thought that he must have thought it was dirty and would not go to the island.

"There are so many?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Yeah, really." Chen Renweng nodded vigorously and said affirmatively.
