Chen Bazhi, holding a heavy artillery, needs to worry. Ma Jin didn't know. He only knew that when he led the fleet to station in the far east of the mainland, he was relieved to see the strait with his own eyes.

In April of the first year, more than 700 people from Xihaerwei, Kuwu Island, took the food and supplies in May. In order to pursue Yamelica on the other side of the strait, they held the imperial edict and carried the honor of the ministers in South China. They all set out for promotion and promotion to get land rewarded by the emperor.

As a northern general, Ma Jin made a special trip to Chen Bazhi to ask Chen Bazhi for the captain who was skilled in sailing, and made the most sufficient preparations and worst results, sailing for 6,000 miles.

If you wander on the sea, you can travel 5,000 miles a month without a slower speed.

But Magui didn't expect that what they went to Asia Melica was a continuous peninsula.

In the fleet's nautical notes, it is clearly recorded that Magui circled a semicircle of 4,000 miles in the former land of Nurgandusi before reaching the peninsula 800 miles east of Kuwu Island. It was the first hundred-household established by Majin, named Four Thousand Li.

Record the detour he took.

When he arrived for 4,000 miles, Ma Jin was still very excited for a while. He mistakenly thought that he had led a fleet to the strait, so Baihushu's original name was Wangxiazhou. But when he led the fleet around the strait and continued to travel east along the coast, he could never find the shore that he planned to go north.

Until he continued to move forward for a thousand miles, Ma Guicai got into the cabin like crazy and rummaged through the cabinets and made a fortune. He finally admitted that he had taken the wrong way and immediately sent two small fleets back to Wangxiazhou, and sailed west from Wangxiazhou to Kuwu Island again, allowing the new fleet to measure the route distance and make a name again.

There are many Jurchen fishing and hunting villages along the long coastline. When the imperial court ruled the Nurgandus, all tribes north of the Nuergan Mountain were collectively called the North Mountain Jurchen.

Although their ancestors once paid tribute to the court, it was like taking a chance to dodge every time the Majin fleet landed. Sometimes, the tribes along the way were willing to exchange food for some decorations or spices, and sometimes they would ride reindeer and pick up their bows and spears to look like they were dealing with robbers.

There is no way. If it is not necessary, Ma Jin, who has been extremely anxious in his heart, is unwilling to stop, and he is even more unwilling to waste time with these savage Jurchens. However, his fleet lacks food and wastes too much water, food and time on four thousand miles of detours.

If they do not replenish water and food on the spot, they will be in a dilemma of not being able to find the strait and not being able to return to Kuwu Island.

He stopped and stopped all the way, and every few hundred miles, two small boats were released to set up posts along the coast, waiting for the subsequent fleet, and setting up two hundred houses. When he really reached the end of the mainland, there were only more than 300 people left in the fleet.

The cold wind in Xiboer was biting, and the turquoise that was disembarking, wrapped in a wolf fur and cloak, was still trembling with cold. He stepped onto the already frozen seaside. He looked at the smoke from the forest in the distance and asked Ni Shangzhong: "Why did the Jurchens call our purpose of sailing Xiboer?"

"Myanmar in the previous dynasty? Maybe someone came at that time."

Ni Shangzhong was strong in shape. As a former captain of the fleet, he occasionally took on the mission of breaking thin ice during his voyage. He had long been accustomed to this severe cold. He took off his helmet covering his fur and scratched his hair with some annoyance, and spit out his breath as if he was white. His feet stepped on the snow and made a squeaking sound, saying, "It would be great if there was hot water. The last time he washed it was in August!"

Kuwu Island is always cold. The local Jurchen tribe said that it was only five months warm in a year, so they set off in a relatively warm April, but they didn't expect to go north for a long time, and the weather followed was like the winter of the Nanyang Wei.

After August, the weather became normal, like the winter in Wanquandusi, it was Ni Shangzhong's hometown.

It is October now, and the land and woods along the coast are covered with snow that can cover their ankles. They can no longer travel east. Ni Shangzhong held a telescope and looked over their warships to the northeastern sea, saying, "You can see the islands over there, and the general, it should be here."

Since September, the sea surface they passed by began to show signs of ice. As the northeastern sailed more and more severely, they would occasionally hit broken ice. The bow of Ni Shangzhong's boat had cracks in the multiple impacts, and the ship was almost destroyed.

In fact, Ma Jin had not arrived at the destination. He just found that the next road could no longer rely on ships, so he stopped the boat to dock. Otherwise, he would have wanted to go around the north of the North Sea to check to confirm that he had really reached the end of the continent.

Running four thousand miles away was a detour, and Ma Jin suffered enough losses.

These generals who were wrapped like bears were not cold, but the flag army was frozen earlier. Even with winter clothes, they were still too cold to bear.

The white sky in front of him was so white that his eyes were so painful that he said, "I'm afraid I'm going to spend the winter here, but I don't know how long this winter is."

When the fleet was still on the road, the Beishan Jurchens, the closest to Wangxia Prefecture, said in a language that only the savage Jurchens could understand, that the sea going east only thawed for three months a year.

It is very likely that they will have to stay here until June and July of the next year before departure.

The captain of Fujian, who was seconded from Wudao, looked at the warship with a wolves coat wrapped in a wolf fur coat, and he looked at the warship with distress. He imitated the Northern Bing's appearance and put his hands in his sleeves, stepped on the snow under his feet, and scolded Gan Linniang while stepping on it.

Even the northern soldiers who were used to the wind and snow on the border were trembling with coldness. Except for the flag army that received orders from the boat, they were ordered to set up alerts or received orders for transport and logging, the others had already curled up and sat in one place, burying their faces in their knees to avoid the cold.

When the sailors came down on the tail boat, Ma Gui, who was going to investigate the horses, looked straight... The tail of the team was the Korean soldiers on board. Before departure, each ship was equipped with winter clothes, but the dozens of Korean soldiers were still wearing North Korean soldiers uniforms.

Chen Mu, the long-distance voyage team of the Ming Dynasty, made a lot of money, and not to mention the winter clothes transferred directly from the border army. The flag army was equipped with relatively cheap deer fur, sheep fur, generals were wolf fur, leather boots and quilts, and even each small flag was equipped with a newly made lighter from the Nanyang Guard.

But these Korean soldiers did not wear cloaks, deer and sheep fur, only red and blue battle jackets, and rarely had helmets on their heads. Even the leading young general Li Shunchen just tied his forehead, and his teeth were so cold that he had clenched his teeth, his face was pale, and he tried his best to show his restrained and moderate appearance in the Ming army, and they all walked in line with their bows and arrows.

"Why don't you wear fur robes? This weather will freeze to death!"

Ma Gui's shouting did not make Lee Sun-sin feel afraid. He raised the bow and arrow in his hand and said, "This place is much colder than North Korea, but it will not freeze people to death. In North Korea, many people can survive the winter with only one clothes."

"I have joined the subordinates of Chen Shuai. I have not made any contributions, but the amount of money is higher than that of others. I feel deeply uneasy. When I follow the general across the strait, it will be not too late for me to wear a fur robe. Now let me go hunting for you."
