To be clear, hundreds of warships in the East and South China Sea, 40,000 new and old sailors quickly moved closer to Haidu Harbour, including the necessary key ships. Haidu's military dock warships were shuttled and sailors were like rain, which attracted many Haidu people to stop and watch, and were amazed.

After arriving on the shore, Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan met one by one. Zhu Jun talked to them about the intentions of the navy. Both of them were very excited. Since its establishment, the Ming Navy has first relied on the South China Sea to compete with the Netherlands. Now the Dutch have retreated, and the entire Nanyang is the water surface of the East China Sea has no enemies anymore. Although the navy is still expanding, the divine weapons cannot find an opponent that can fight. I am really frustrated. On the other hand, the Ming army continued to fight in the north, and sang triumphantly, expanding its territory, which made Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan unable to raise their heads. Now the emperor is planning to open a new front on the sea, and they are all very excited.

On February 13, the fifth year of Xinshi, Zhu Jun, who was ready, chose a good day and boarded the navy's warship in the morning light. Hundreds of warships sounded the snails one after another. The flag bearers between the ships kept conveying instructions to the ship opposite in the mist. The sailors in short jackets and breeches put away their anchors and pulled up the sails, and went out to the sea one after another.

The Dongyang Navy currently has seven large warships, twenty Dutch warships, sixty-two large warships built in various seas, and various supply ships seized and transformed. There are hundreds of warships, plus sailors, and the number is about 19,000. The Nanyang Navy currently has five large warships, twenty-nine Dutch warships, seventy-four large warships, and one hundred large warships, and 130 large warships, with more than 23,000 people. Now the elite troops of the Ming Navy gather together, and the two major naval battalions have a hidden meaning of competition. Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan were drinking and chatting on Zhu Jun's ship, but the other warships were full of strength and even the speed of the ship had to compete. Except for some necessary frigates, the other ships were each filled with sails and sailing through the wind and waves.

Zhu Jun has not gone out to sea for a long time, and the navy in the past did not have the lively scene as it is today. Hundreds of warships sailed eastward as if they were moving islands, and they were quite proud. They held the ships on the side of the ships and watched the two battalions chase each other. They turned their heads to Liu Guoxuan on the side and said, "If you pass on my will, the farthest ships that will sail within an hour, I will reward them with double the salary."

"Okay!" Liu Guoxuan immediately called the flag bearer, and the snail sounded again. This was the order called by the main ship, and the ships also responded one after another with the snail. The ships in front gradually slowed down, while the ships behind accelerated their speed. Then the flagships lowered many small boats and received the orders to send orders to each ship.

Half an hour later, the ships flew forward like arrows, chasing each other, and stalemate. Liu Er, who accompanied Zhu Jun, was also sweating profusely. The emperor was here, which was like a drill, and everyone hoped that the camp would win.

Zhu Jun looked at it for a moment, and only the black shadows and white sails were left in the ship participating in the race. At this time, the sea breeze gradually became stronger. Zhu Jun got up and returned to the cabin to shelter them and talked about the naval battle with Liu Er and Liu Guoxuan. The two of them are now experienced and are very vigorous in explaining various tactics. They bring out their own experiences like offering treasures. Zhu Jun only smiled and nodded. He was a layman for various tactics. He only listened to them silently. Before he knew it, an eunuch shouted: "Master, the victory and defeat have been announced. It is the Fubo of the Dongyang Naval Camp that took the lead. Captain Yang Tianbao came up to ask for rewards."

A hint of joy flashed across Liu Guoxuan's face, and Liu Er tried his best to cough and hide his embarrassment. Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Let him come in."

In a moment, a strong man with bronze skin came in and bowed: "After the end, Yang Tianbao, a thousand households of the Eastern Navy camp, came to the emperor, long live my emperor."

Zhu Jun raised his hand and helped him: "Plain your body, this is the army, so the rituals of the king and the ministers will be spared, and only the rituals of the army."

Yang Tianbao changed his position again. He half-kneeled and supported the interior deck with one hand: "Keep to the emperor!"

Zhu Junhe said, "Get up. I won't go back on my word. The Fubo number will receive double the salary this month."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Tianbao was overjoyed and stood up embarrassedly. He looked at Liu Guoxuan with helpless eyes.

Liu Guoxuan knew that he was uncomfortable staying here. He smiled and said, "Yang Qianhu is very brave in daily life. Why are you pretending to behave today? After the reward is finished, if the emperor does not give any instructions, please retreat."

Yang Tianbao's flashing eyes fell on Zhu Jun again. Zhu Jun waved his hand: "Go."

Yang Tianbao hurriedly said his words, and his relief made Zhu Jun feel cold.

Only Zhu Jun and the other three were left in the cabin, and Zhu Jun then got to the point: "This time the navy arrived in Beiyang and would definitely use troops. I asked you to follow him to be a deterrent, and the other way, it can be regarded as a courage for me."

Both of them nodded. When Zhu Jun said that he was brave, Liu Guoxuan smiled and said he didn't dare. Zhu Jun ordered them to return to their ship to rest. He also leaned on the couch and picked up a few outdated newspapers to watch. Now the newspapers are varied.

There are academics, business newspapers, and strange news newspapers. Zhu Jun was afraid of being on the boat. So he asked someone to bring dozens of strange news newspapers in the past few months. As the name suggests, strange news newspapers are actually essay novels written by dozens of literati. They are somewhat similar to the strange story of the Stories from a Chinese Studio. Basically, the routines are the same. A scholar met a woman, and then what happened. Zhu Jun read it with relish and asked several suitable authors. He learned that their family scenery was not very good, and he made a living by writing articles. He also sent some silver coins.

As he looked, snoring sounded in the cabin. The eunuchs did not dare to disturb him. They carefully put on a thin blanket on Zhu Jun and retreated.

In order to prevent typhoons, the fleet traveled along the island coastline. First, it could replenish supplies and fresh water in time. Second, once it encountered warnings, it could immediately dock and shelter from the wind. There were more than a dozen island countries along the way. Such a huge fleet passed by, and all countries were trembling. The king personally welcomed the port and prepared the gifts he gave. Zhu Jun laughed when he learned about this. Thinking about it, a huge fleet passed by at home. Who could still sit? It would be strange if he didn't just welcome the wind at the door to investigate the direction of the wind. So, every time he arrived at a place, a special envoy from the Ming Dynasty took the fast ship to the dock to announce the decree of the Ming Emperor, saying that the Ming Navy was just passing by here and had no desire to covet. All the vassal states could keep their way.

The officials and kings along the coast received the order and cleared a big rock in their hearts. When they saw hundreds of ships of different sizes appearing on the sea, the largest ship was like a hill, they still couldn't help but feel excited. The Ming ships were so big and the benefits of artillery were indeed well-known. It seems that they should be cautious in the future, just as the Ming Emperor's decree said, it is good to keep the minister's way.

Half a month later, the fleet arrived in Luzon. Luzon is now divided into two parts. The north is the base of the Ming Dynasty's Oriental Navy's squadron, and the south is the Spanish ruled. The fleet docked at Princess Port. Here, the garrison officers of the Eastern Navy camp had been waiting for a long time to prepare for the welcome. The Spanish in the south did not dare to neglect them. Governor Hechakin came in person. After the Spanish suffered heavy damage in Luzon, they relied on the power of the Ming Dynasty to regain half of the control of Luzon. Although this was the case, because the fleet had already

The entire army was wiped out, and there were only three naval warships in Luzon, and they were all in dilapidated and disrepair all year round. Therefore, the Spanish chose to hide under the trees of the Ming Dynasty to enjoy the cool air. Many important ports were protected by the cruiser's Oriental Navy. They only seldom squeezed wealth. In this way, Hechakin almost became the guard dog of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Not only did he obey the orders of the Nanyang Navy, but he also paid tribute on time. This time, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty arrived, so he did not come to welcome him.

After resting in Luzon for three days, the fleet continued to set sail, crossed the Nansha Islands, and then crossed the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan had long been included in its own scope by Geng Jingzhong Shangzhixin. After surrendering, it indirectly became the territory of the Ming Dynasty and was part of Fujian Province. The Ming Dynasty had established the Taiwan Prefecture here. After another half month, the fleet finally arrived in Ryukyu.

Ryukyu is located south of Japan and north of Taiwan, and guarding the southeastern sea route. During the Sui Dynasty, Ryukyu was called Liuqiu. By the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent an envoy Yang Zai to carry an edict to Ryukyu, which was called Ryukyu in the edict. From then on, the lords of the three mountains of Ryukyu had to accept the title of the Ming Dynasty to inherit the throne, and they all took the initiative to pay tribute to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China, and the Ming Dynasty also refused to refuse and granted them the titles and recognized them separately.

During the Yongle period, the Ryukyu Islands appeared in the south, Zhongshan and Shanbei, which were respectively located in the southern, central and northern parts of the Ryukyu Islands.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, King Shangbazhi of Zhongshan had successively annexed the two kingdoms of Shannan and Shanbei, and Ryukyu was unified. Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, and Ryukyu Kingdom also suffered great losses. After the late Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu wanted to send envoys to the Qing Dynasty to pay tribute, but the news of the rise of the Southern Ming Dynasty in the South Ocean came, and King Shangzhi of Zhongshan was very happy and sent envoys to Haidu to pay tribute. From then on, Ryukyu was still a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming fleet arrived in Ryukyu, it was naturally treated with great courtesy from King Shangzhi of Ryukyu, and hurriedly took the ministers to welcome the coastline.
