Currently there are only ten sea-going ships, so it is impossible to transport more than 10,000 soldiers to Jiangnan at once, and can only be done in batches.
Continuous sailing on the sea will not only make soldiers tired, but also sailors.
Therefore, Hun Jianglong Li Jun and Chuanhuo'er Zhang Heng operated in alternating shifts.
The first time was led by two brothers, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, who led 400 sailors and 2,000 swordsmen and spearmen on a sea ship to Hangzhou.
On the flagship "Bilang", Xu Guanzhong stood on the ship's armor, holding on to the ship's pole and looking into the distance.
Langli Baitiao Zhang Shun walked out of the cabin and saw Xu Guanzhong standing on the deck.
He came over and asked, "Mr.
Xu, are you feeling bored?"
Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "Well, this is my first time to sit on a boat for such a long time.
It was okay at first.
I thought the scenery of the sea was really beautiful and magnificent.
But I have been looking at this scenery for five days in a row.
It feels boring now, and there is so little space on the ship, so it becomes boring after staying there for a long time.”
Although Zhang Shun is nicknamed Langli Baitiao, he is not white at all now, and his whole body is shiny black.
He showed his bright white teeth, looked at the sea level in the distance, and said: "It's true.
At first, I was not used to this kind of days without docking, but then I gradually got used to it.
In fact, it's not bad.
In order to accommodate the soldiers, we always docked every few days, and once I didn't even get off the ship for a month.
That kind of life is not what people live."
When Xu Guanzhong heard that Zhang Shun had not disembarked for a month, thinking about such days, he smiled bitterly and said: "No wonder those sailors felt like they were having a holiday as soon as they docked, eating and drinking to vent their squeezed emotions. " Zhang Shun held on to the railing and looked at the seagulls flying in the sky and said: "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Mr.
We are all people with today and no tomorrow.
Maybe we will be taken away by the sea that day.
That's why as soon as we get to the shore Just try your best to have fun, but if you miss it, you won’t be able to enjoy it again.”
Xu Guanzhong asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?
Could it be that the risk at sea is very high?"
Zhang Shun smiled and said: "I hope Mr.
Xu never knows.
Well, let's not say these depressing words.
After staying on the boat for so long, Mr.
Xu must be greedy.
I'll catch some fresh fish for Mr.
"With wine" Before Xu Guanzhong could answer, Zhang Shun took off his vest and with a plop, he jumped directly into the sea from the ship's armor, which was nearly ten meters high.
After waiting for a while, Xu Guanzhong panicked when he saw that Zhang Shun had not yet emerged from the sea.
He walked back and forth on the ship's armor and looked around.
There was Zhang Shun's figure on the surrounding sea.
Xu Guanzhong hurriedly shouted to the cabin: "Come here quickly, brother Zhang Shun fell into the sea, come here quickly!"
Hearing Xu Guanzhong's shout, Zhang Heng yawned and walked out of the bed room.
He shouted nonchalantly: "Mr.
Xu, don't worry.
How long has it been since that bastard fell into the sea?"
Xu Guanzhong hurriedly replied: "At least it's time for a bowl of tea.
It's better to send people to the sea quickly to find someone."
"It's just a bowl of tea, don't worry about him.
It's best if that bastard is dead.
He is such a big man, but he still acts like a child," Zhang Heng cursed.

Seeing that Zhang Heng didn't care, Xu Guanzhong asked doubtfully: "Is it really okay?"
"Don't worry, I believe he will be able to run out soon," Zhang Heng replied affirmatively.
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shun suddenly popped his head out of the sea, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly: "Mr.
Xu, you are so lucky.
I didn't expect that there are hairtail fish."
Seeing his brother coming out, Zhang Heng shrugged and shouted: "Look, isn't that bastard here?"
Zhang Shun kicked off his feet and swam quickly to the boat.
He grabbed the hairtail with one hand and pulled the sailor down the rope ladder with the other, and quickly climbed onto the boat.
After getting on the boat, he threw the hairtail into the bucket and shouted to a sailor, "Go and oil this hairtail.
I want to have a drink with Mr.
Xu later."
After ordering the sailors, Zhang Shun turned to Xu Guanzhong and said: "Sir, you are so lucky.
Most of these hairtail fish live in the sea.
It is rare to see them swimming up.
Usually, you have to use a fishing net to catch them.
I didn't expect you to be lucky today.
I am with you, sir."
You said, this hairtail fish has been deep-fried, so it’s perfect for wine and dinner.
Sir, take out your bottle of Shao Dao, let’s have a drink together.”
When Xu Guanzhong heard this, he burst out laughing: "I asked you why you suddenly jumped into the sea to catch fish.
It turns out you were thinking about my bottle of wine."
Zhang Shun chuckled and said, "Hehehe, it's not like I've drunk all the wine.
I've been talking about birds for the past two days."
Xu Guanzhong said: "Okay, we're almost here anyway.
I'll open the bottle of wine and let's have a few drinks."
Zhang Shun suddenly took a gulp of water and said: "Mr.
Xu is a cheerful person.
I just want to drink this wine.
If you don't drink it, there will be no use for me.
I will go and see if there are good seafood and catch them all for drinking."
In the evening, on the bow deck.
There are four dishes and one soup on a low table, including fried hairtail fish, braised yellow croaker, fried cuttlefish, steamed yellow croaker, and white radish fish soup.
As soon as he opened the jar of burning knives that Xu Guanzhong brought, Zhang Shun was not polite.
He picked up the wine jar and poured a full bowl of wine for Xu Guanzhong and Zhang Heng.
He picked up his own bowl, opened his mouth and raised his neck. , a bowl of wine was consumed.
After drinking, Zhang Shun touched his mouth and shouted: "Good wine, this wine has taste."
Zhang Shun poured another bowl and drank it.
Zhang Heng saw it and immediately shouted: "Behave yourself, this is Mr.
Xu's wine."
Xu Guanzhong said: "It doesn't matter.
Although this wine has a taste, it's just too strong.
It's okay if I drink a little, but it won't be okay if I drink too much.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept the jar of wine given by the marshal.
Erlang likes it.
Drink more wine and you will do me a favor."

Hearing what Xu Guanzhong said, Zhang Shun immediately shouted: "Mr.
Xu has already said that he doesn't like drinking this wine.
Brother, don't worry.
As long as we get ashore, I will definitely buy dozens of jars of good wine and return it to Mr.
Xu.
I But I heard that Shaoxing rice wine is very good, sweet and delicious, I believe your husband will like it."
Xu Guanzhong smiled and said: "I have heard the name of Shaoxing rice wine a long time ago, and I also thought about buying it to taste it.
Since Erlang wants to help, I will not be respectful."
"It's easy to say, I'll cover it."
Zhang Shun happily poured himself another bowl.
Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "My younger brother is a rough guy and doesn't understand etiquette.
He made the gentleman laugh."
Xu Guanzhong said: "He is a loyal and upright man.
No wonder the marshal always values him very highly."
The three of them were eating appetizers, drinking wine, and talking about their experiences at sea on the deck.
Zhang Shun drank another bowl of wine and sweat broke out on his forehead.
He took off his vest, touched the sweat on his forehead and shouted, "It's strange, I didn't drink a few bowls of wine, why is it so hot?"
Zhang Heng heard this and looked at the sweat on Zhang Shun's head.
He stood up in a panic and looked into the distance.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and he didn't feel a trace of sea breeze.
It was very hot and stuffy.
He frowned, dipped his index finger in some saliva, and stretched it out into the sea breeze.
The saliva evaporated in a moment.
Zhang Heng inspected the sea surface and didn't see even a seagull.
Zhang Heng's face turned dark and he shouted hurriedly, "Damn it, a storm is coming Erlang, damn it, stop drinking.
Go and ask someone to lower the sail.
I have tied up all the heavy objects in the boat."
The soldiers also quickly told them to wake up and hold on to the fixed objects around them.
If there was no fixed object, hold on to the hammock and told them not to let go no matter what happened."
Hearing the shouts of his eldest brother Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun also knew that things were in trouble.
He also shouted loudly and told his men to move quickly.
Following the roars of Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, the ordering soldiers hurriedly sounded the gong, waved the order flag, and passed the order to each ship.
Soon, sailors on every ship were mobilized.
Some people hurriedly tied the barrels on the ship with ropes, and some people hurriedly pulled the ropes up to the mast and untied the knots.
With a whoosh, the hard sail slid down.
Other sailors on the ship's armor quickly tied up the hard sail.
Seeing that the canvas was tied up, Zhang Heng quickly ran into the cabin to inspect the situation of the swordsmen and spearmen, and saw a soldier still holding his own spear.
Zhang Heng suddenly became furious, pushed the soldier down with his kick, and shouted: "You are looking for death.
At this time, you are still holding a spear.
Do you want to stab your brothers to death?
Put the weapon in the bottom of the cabin!"
The soldier heard him shouting with his head held high: "No, my instructor said, this spear is my most trustworthy companion, and it will never leave my body at any time."
Zhang Heng dared to talk back when he saw this.
He didn't even bother to explain to him and just punched him down.
"That was on land, and now it's on sea.

Everything is under my command.
This is an order.
If you want to disobey, military law will punish you."
Zhang Heng was a general.
When he saw that one of his men had offended a general, he hurriedly shouted: "Er Gou, obey the military order.
Hurry up and put your spear in the bottom cabin."
After hearing his direct commander's words, the soldier named Ergou reluctantly put his spear into the bottom cabin.
Zhang Heng shouted loudly in the cabin: "I don't care what your previous training was like, now put your weapons into the bottom cabin, and then hold on to the fixed objects around you, otherwise you will be dealt with according to military law, do you understand?"
Hearing Zhang Heng's roar, several more soldiers came out and put their weapons into the bottom cabin.
Zhang Heng checked one side of the cabin again and saw that the artillery pieces he relied on most were all tied up.
Only then did he feel relieved and ran back to the ship's armor.
He was so anxious to arrange things that he forgot about Xu Guanzhong.
Only then did Zhang Heng think of him and hurried back to the cabin, where he saw Xu Guanzhong also grabbing a hammock.
He quickly pulled Xu Guanzhong out of the ship's armor, wrapped a rope around his waist, and tied him to the mainmast.
When Xu Guanzhong saw it, he shouted: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"
Zhang Heng tightened the binding and shouted: "Sir, you are a person valued by the marshal.
There are too many people in the cabin, and there are a lot of heavy objects.
Once you, sir, hit or are hit by scattered heavy objects, and your life is injured, I Zhang Heng will Even if ten lives are not enough, sir, don’t worry, as long as you are tied up, this place will be the safest."
After wrapping three or four times, Zhang Heng tried it and found that it was not loose.
He shouted loudly: "Erlang, come here quickly!"
Zhang Shun heard the shouting and ran over quickly.
At this time, dark clouds had drifted over and enveloped this sea area, and the sky was as dense as night.
The rain hasn't fallen yet, but the wind has already come.
A strong wind blew by, and the waves rocked the sand boat.
Zhang Heng almost lost his balance.
There is no time to think about anything else at this time.
Zhang Heng tied a rope around his waist and tied Zhang Shun to the mainmast.
Zhang Shun saw his elder brother tying him up and asked quickly, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Zhang Heng shouted: "Mr.
Xu is a person that the marshal values, you must think highly of him.
If he has any shortcomings, I will ask you for it."
Zhang Heng tied him up with a rope.
Zhang Shun saw that his elder brother had only tied him up and he was still outside the circle, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, what should you do?"
Zhang Heng shouted, "I don't need you to worry.
Remember, don't let Mr.'
s rope break."
Zhang Heng heard this and said anxiously, Brother, let me go quickly.
You come and take care of me, sir.
I am good at swimming, so I will be fine no matter how big the storm is.”
Zhang Hengda roared, "I am the eldest brother, it is not your turn to take care of my affairs."
After shouting, Zhang Heng tied him tightly with a rope.
Just tied up his younger brother Zhang Shun.
The rainstorm is coming soon As the strong wind blew, after a while, raindrops as big as soybeans fell from the sky, hitting the Kosaka with a crackling sound.
Dark clouds covered the sky, making it dark.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and then exploded with a loud bang.

It was so scary.
In the violent storm, the sea surface was like a rolling dragon king making waves, with boiling water and undulating waves.
The huge waves hit the ship one after another.
In the face of huge storms and rough waves, the ship becomes like a humble insect, which may be slapped to death by the waves at any time.
The waves rolled up by the strong wind caused the ship to violently bump.
Not to mention ordinary infantrymen, even the sailors who had lived at sea for more than ten years were shaken by the waves at this time.
They felt weak in their limbs, dizzy, and vomited stomach water.
The swordsmen and spearmen who had previously thought Zhang Heng was making a fuss were now clinging to the fixed objects in their hands.
There are even many people who just grab the hammock with both feet and hands.
They were hanging in hammocks and being rocked and rolled around in the cabin.
While rolling back and forth, many soldiers bumped into hard objects.
Some of them had their heads smashed directly, bleeding profusely.
Screams and sounds of pain filled the entire cabin.
Xu Guanzhong, who was tied up, felt horrified when he heard the sound.
If Zhang Heng hadn't been quick to see the opportunity and tied himself up on the Kosaka, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to escape such a disaster.
Zhang Heng rolled and crawled back to the stern of the ship, holding on to the rudder with both hands.
He looked at the dark clouds in the sky and the rapid raindrops hitting him.
He felt extremely anxious.
Every time a wave hit the ship, Zhang Heng would be impacted, but no matter what kind of impact he received, he would hold on to the rudder.
He knew that letting go of the rudder at this time was simply seeking death.
Being thrown out of the ship in this storm would basically mean death.
Zhang Heng held on to the rudder tightly, his hands were bruised and painful due to excessive force.
But at this time, he couldn't care less.
He desperately controlled the direction of the boat, hoping to move along with the waves as much as possible
