After almost two months of sailing in the Pacific, Zhao Hongyu, with fifty-two warships under his command, finally arrived in Japan, a country in the east.
Originally, when Zhao Hongyu set out from Manhattan, he had seventy-two battleships under his command.
However, after arriving in San Francisco and leaving Wang Shan to build a city to welcome immigrants, Zhao Hongyu detached twenty warships to search for Australia, so the number of fleets under his command was now reduced to fifty-two.
Even so, this number is quite a lot.
"Land found ahead!"
The fleet was sailing smoothly on the sea, and the sailors on the observation deck shouted loudly at this time.
His shout caused a commotion among the people.
Yes, sailing at sea is really difficult.
Although their lives were better than those of European sailors at the same time, everyone still hoped to be able to land comfortably.
After all, life on a ship is boring compared to life on land. And because the space on the ship is small and there are few supplies carried, the living environment is very harsh.
When Europeans of the same era were on ocean voyages, they basically began to drink spoiled drinking water and food that began to rot in the middle of the voyage.
Not only that, they also have to endure the dirty cabin.
At the same time, we also have to face the possibility of scurvy.
But things are different here for Zhao Hongyu, because he has the tools to avoid living such a miserable life at sea like the Europeans of his generation.
In order to avoid the occurrence of scurvy, Zhao Hongyu would get some fresh fruits and distribute them to everyone from time to time. We will also get some effervescent tablets rich in vitamin ABCD for everyone to soak in water and drink to replenish some of the substances needed in the body.
The drinking water is all clean mineral water, and the food is extremely fresh.
Therefore, it can be said that the voyage of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s fleet will not be like the Europeans at all.
But, boredom is certain.
Zhao Hongyu, Emma and Sara also heard the noise on the deck in the captain's cabin.
So, Zhao Hongyu took the two of them out.
"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Zhao Hongyu, who came out, saw the excited smiles on the faces of the genetic sailors, and he pulled a genetic sailor in confusion and asked.
"Your Highness, we have found land ahead."
When the genetic sailor saw that it was Zhao Hongyu, he quickly saluted respectfully and replied.
"Oh, have you found land ahead? This is a good thing. It means we have arrived in the east."
Zhao Hongyu also smiled when he heard what the genetic sailor said.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu was a little tired of being on the boat.
At this time, the sailor who had been looking out on the pole shouted again: "Attention everyone, there are dark clouds ahead, there may be a typhoon, everyone immediately check the cables and other items on the ship and be prepared. "
As the sailor¡¯s words fell to the ground, everyone rushed to the deck and looked forward.
Sure enough, just as the lookout said, a dark cloud appeared at the end of the originally clear blue sky and swept over quickly.
Sometimes the environment at sea is really hard to predict. One moment it may be clear and blue, but the next moment there may be violent storms.
"There will be storms and heavy rain. Let's go in. There will probably be waves." Zhao Hongyu, who has already experienced two ocean voyages, is no longer unfamiliar with the sea.
Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu saw the dark clouds rolling in from the distant sky, he was not too shocked. Instead, he calmly greeted Sarah and Emma and walked into the captain's cabin.
Soon, dark clouds covered the entire sky, making the sky dark.
After a while, in the increasingly strong wind, heavy raindrops began to fall.
The heavy rain was very dense, making visibility very low.
Therefore, the fleet had to slow down its sailing speed and slowly sailed in the direction where the land was seen.
Help!
At this moment, a cry for help suddenly came.
On the baseboard that was shaking from side to side, the genetic soldiers were busy checking the cables and sails.
The two genetic humans closest to the deck guardrail are underwater.?, especially what I heard.
To be honest, in such a violent storm, shouting may not be enough to make people hear you clearly.
¡°It¡¯s just that Iguchi Zosan, who fell into the sea and was dying, tried his best to survive.
Without him, it¡¯s just to save your life.
People can often burst into great potential when their lives are threatened.
This is the situation of Jingguchi Sansan now.
"Look! Someone fell into the water over there."
The two genetic sailors lay on the guardrail and looked at the sea where the visibility was not very high. After a while, they discovered the wellhead floating on the sea.
¡°Perhaps the fate of the three lives created by the wellhead should not have been terminated. This unlucky guy was fished out of the sea by the genetic sailors.
But at this time, Iguchi Zozo's face was pale, his lips were ashen, and his whole body was shaking as if he was shaking.
It can be seen that this guy was very frightened after falling into the water.
It¡¯s normal to say that at that time, Iguchi Zozo really thought he would drown like this.
The boat was overturned and he fell into the sea. According to common sense, he would definitely not survive.
¡°After all, this place is still two to three nautical miles away from the coast, and there is no way he can swim back.
¡°Moreover, the wind and waves are so big now, and there are also violent storms.
The hull of the Sea King is constantly rocking, rising and falling with the waves.
The waves hit the hull of the ship, constantly splashing the sea on the deck.
When I heard that I had rescued a man who fell into the water, everyone gathered around him.
To be honest, everyone wants to see which guy was unlucky enough to fall into the sea. At the same time, they also want to learn something from the rescued person and judge where they have arrived now.
? Japanese?
After the genetic people gathered around, everyone saw through the identity of Iguchi Zosan at a glance.
A sleeveless Japanese-style coat with only a white crotch cloth on the lower body. This is a typical Japanese dress.
Many genetic people have a fierce look in their eyes as well as a look of contempt and disdain.
Even the two genetic sailors who rescued Iguchi Zosan became very upset at this moment.
Depend on!
They are Japanese. If they had known that the person who fell into the water was Japanese, they would not have rescued him.
But now that they have been saved, is it possible that they have to throw the other party back again?
The genetic people under Zhao Hongyu have all been radically brainwashed by Wang Shan and others.
It can be said that these people are basically angry youths.
¡°I don¡¯t have much favorable impression of Europeans or Japanese in my heart.
Those officials of the Ming Dynasty, and I, the Qing Dynasty, are not cold either.
Therefore, Iguchi Zozo felt a little bit the same.
Trembling all over, he looked at the people who had rescued him. Judging from their clothing, they seemed not to be Ming people, but a bit like Nanman people, but the clothes were more fancy than those of the Nanman people.
And these people are not those from Southeast Asia, because they are tall and thick, not as skinny as the people in Southeast Asia.
Although Iguchi Zozo is a fisherman, the place where he lives is Osaka, Japan's largest external port in this era.
He occasionally goes to Osaka to sell his seafood, so he has met many foreigners.
Therefore, Iguchi Zozo still knows something about those foreigners going to Japan.
But the people who rescued him today are completely incompatible with the foreigners he knows.
You may say that they are not famous people, but judging from their spirit, they also possess the pride of the Ming Dynasty people, which cannot be imitated.
As an Osaka native, he really understands this.
Among the foreigners traveling to and from Japan, the people from Southeast Asia look wretched, and the Nanman people are nice people, but they seem very unconfident.
Only the people of the Ming Dynasty can reveal the spirit of the Celestial Kingdom in their bones.
"Hehe, this bow-legged little Japanese boy is looking at us with his green bean eyes."
When Jingguchi Zuosan looked at the genetic sailors, the genetic sailors were also looking at Jingguchi Zusan.
To be honest, Iguchi Zousan¡¯s appearance is a bit crooked and cracked, and coupled with the unique cultural atmosphere of the island country, Iguchi also has such a wretched character.temperament.
If we have to talk about the three statues made at the entrance of the well, we can only say that the three statues made at the entrance of the well are a mouse.
The most distinctive features of mice are their beady eyes and pointed mouths.
"This guy is so stupid, he is indeed an uncivilized Japanese."
At this time, the genetic people began to comment on the three-level construction of the wellhead.
Many Japanese people in this era can interact with Ming people, so they can speak fluent Ming dialect. Moreover, speaking Ming dialect is very fashionable and popular in Japan, which represents identity and status.
¡°It¡¯s a pity that Iguchi Zouzan can¡¯t tell because he is just a low-level fisherman.
Therefore, when the genetic people were whispering to each other and talking about him, Iguchi Zosan could only look at the talking genetic people stupidly, without any reaction.
After a long time, Iguchi Zozo finally realized that his current approach was very wrong.
Because if these people from an unknown country had not saved him, he would have lost his life in the sea.
It doesn¡¯t matter if you die, but what about your sister-in-law at home?
If that happens, she will be hungry.
(Sister wife is the name of the poor in Japan in this era. Men without money will marry their younger sisters as wives. Of course, this era is not known to be in another time and space, plus the butterfly effect, so it is not enough for the Japanese to be more wretched. Surprising.)
Thinking of this, Iguchi Zozo hurriedly knelt on the deck, bowed respectfully, and spoke words of thanks in Japanese.
"Thank you all for saving me, Jingkou Zaosan is deeply grateful."
"It's a pity that people can't understand these genes if Jingguchi makes three."
After all, they are not as powerful as His Highness and have language plug-ins.
So, after seeing Iguchi Zousan kneeling on the deck and talking like that, the genetic sailors all looked at each other. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
