According to the charts provided by the Portuguese and the charts stolen from the Spanish, the ocean-going fleet successfully avoided the stormy reefs on the sea.
By the way, they also robbed two Spanish ships, but after robbing their silver Blocks and portions of food were then put back on them.
Finally we saw the mainland after seven months.
Although during the journey, the fleet also stopped at some small islands to replenish fresh water and fresh vegetables, and hunted some animals for tooth festivals.
Although the fleet has brought enough food, it has also added enough carrots to the food, brought a lot of oranges, and brought a lot of soybeans and mung beans for sprouting.
Although there are specialized boat trawls that catch some fish every day to supplement nutrition, and there are also Wu Youxing's students serving as ship doctors.
Eleven people in the entire fleet fell ill and died, mainly the accompanying students and civilian officials.
Everyone was extremely excited when they saw land.
Zhang Qianfang chose an open beach to prepare for landing.
The three big fortune boats had no way to dock and could only park about two miles offshore.
The sailing boats and double-barreled boats are slightly stronger and can be anchored 300 steps offshore.
Although it was not satisfactory, there was no way to find a suitable dock for the moment, so we had to go ashore first.
Geng Zhongming was the first officer to go ashore.
He led the soldiers to the beach first, then surveyed the nearby terrain, and then sent a signal to the ship that it was safe and possible to land.
The second group of people who came ashore were civil officials and students led by Zhou Yanru.
After Zhou Yanru and others stepped ashore, they were staggering a bit and asked Geng Zhongming what was going on.
Geng Zhongming smiled and said: "It's all the same.
If you sit on the boat for a long time, you will become unsteady when the ground stops shaking once you get on the shore.
It will be fine soon."
At this time, soldiers from one direction blew the alarm with whistles.
Geng Zhongming quickly asked the soldiers to protect these civil servants and students.
He ran over to take a look and saw a few knights approaching slowly.
These knights were not red-haired like the Spanish or Portuguese.
They also had black eyes and black hair.
They wore leather and cloth clothes, with feathers on their heads.
They looked at the Guards suspiciously.
Geng Zhongming saw that they looked strange, so he ordered his soldiers to aim at them with firecrackers.
At this time, Zhou Yanru followed up, breathing heavily, and said quickly: "They are just like us, don't kill them."
Geng Zhongming said: "I don't know who they are.
They have bows, arrows and knives.
We must protect the safety of the adults."
Zhou Yanru said: "They have dismounted.
They probably have no ill intentions.
Let them come over and ask first."
The knights dismounted, looked at Zhou Yanru, and exchanged a few words with each other, but neither Mingren could understand.
Zhou Yanru stepped forward and said: "I am a foreign minister of the fourth rank of the Ming Dynasty.
Judging from your appearance, you are somewhat similar to me, a Han, but the previous dynasty abandoned the people."
The knights looked at Zhou Yanru's official uniform, and one of them asked: "Qi Ling" Zhou Yanru is a fourth-rank official, and the patch on his official uniform is embroidered with a unicorn pattern.
His mind was spinning very fast, and he asked uncertainly. : "You know Qilin" The knights exchanged glances and said together: "Qi Ling, Qi Ling."
The knight who spoke before asked again: "Yin Di'an" Zhou Yanru replied: "Yin Di'an."
He used an affirmative tone.
The knights immediately knelt on the ground and began to kowtow, not to Akito, but to the sky.
While kowtowing, they shouted: "Yin Di'an, Yin Di'an" Zhou Yanru remembered something at this time.
When the emperor summoned them before coming, he specifically told him about the survivors of the Yin Shang in America.
The emperor only said that he had heard about this, and it might be a remnant of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and asked him to try to see if he could contact them.

He had always believed that it was impossible for there to be survivors of the Yin and Shang dynasties in this land far away from the ocean, so at that time he just thought that the emperor had heard rumors somewhere.
Although he kept nodding his head, he actually didn't believe it in his heart.
But now it seems that the emperor only said that I'm afraid it's true.
He waited for those people to finish kowtowing and asked, "You are from Yin."
The leading knight said: "Yin family, Yin family."
He looked extremely happy.
At this time, Zhang Qianfang took the second group of people off the boat.
He asked strangely: "Master Zhou, who are they?"
Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "We have found our fellow villagers.
These are the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
The emperor really knows everything."
Zhang Qianfang recalled that when the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, he was asked to find Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong.
He strongly agreed with this sentence: "The Holy Emperor is omnipotent.
This is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
Finally, most of the voyage fleet came ashore, and during this period, Zhou Yanru and the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties communicated happily with limited pronunciation and gestures.
Finally, the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties invited Zhou Yanru to where they lived, and Zhou Yanru agreed.
Zhang Qianfang asked Geng Zhongming to lead a bureau of soldiers to escort Zhou Yanru and several civil servants and students.
The survivors gave up their horses for Zhou Yanru to ride.
Only then did Zhou Yanru stand more firmly on the ground.
He was willing to mount the horse, so everyone started walking together.
After walking for a while, Zhou Yanru and several other literati were so tired that they had to sit on their horses and walk slowly.
More than an hour later, we finally arrived at Merchant Yin’s village.
A Yin Shang survivor had already returned to the tribe to report the situation, so the entire tribe came out to greet the Ming people.
Everyone kept asking: "Yin Di'an" and the Ming army answered according to Zhou Yanru's words: "Yin Di'an" Song Yingxing asked: "Mr.
Zhou, their living conditions are too harsh.
Looking at their houses, they can only be regarded as tents."
Zhou Yanru said: "Yes, they are our poor relatives, and we have the responsibility to help them and get their help."
The Yin merchants prepared a sumptuous meal, and Ming Dynasty discovered that potatoes, sweet potatoes, corns, and pumpkins that had just begun to be cultivated in China were all common here.
There was also a red and pointed thing like a small eggplant, and he took a bite. , it feels like it's on fire in your mouth, much spicier than dogwood.
Song Yingxing said: "This thing is good, I must take it back and plant it."
Zhou Yanru said: "We have this over there.
We call it sweet pepper.
Some people call it tomato pepper.
Few people eat it.
They keep it as flowers and plants for appreciation."
After eating, the elders of the tribe had a long conversation with Zhou Yanru.
The two of them talked with gestures most of the time, while Song Yingxing listened carefully.
Sometimes he heard a similar sound and wrote it down.
On paper, be prepared to discuss its meaning later.
Zhou Yanru figured out one thing through the conversation.
The Yin family they were talking about referred to their king in a place called Cusco.
At other times, the conversation between the two parties was basically a chicken-to-duck conversation, but the same appearance characteristics of both parties made the Yin family first regard the Ming people as their own clan and were very friendly to the Ming people
