Chapter 354: Target Lilac Island......
Advance~ In the midst of a learning frenzy, the fleet quickly passed through the island of Sio, an island between Sulawesi and Mindanao in the Luzon Islands, which was supposed to belong to the Sanuikh Islands geographically, and was already close to the target Maluku Islands.
Of course, based on Li Zhen's urine nature, he naturally would not name this island after Westerners, so the Sangihe Islands became the Boundary Islands, which means the boundary island between Sulawesi and Mindanao, and Sio Island was also renamed Laughing Island by him, for no other reason than because Si'o together is 'laughing'......
After walking at sea for a few days, on this day, the fleet escorted the fleet to a sea area, and before the navigator came to report the situation, Cheng Chuliang said happily: "Great, we are about to meet the island, quickly pass my order, all the ships reduce their speed, and we will repair the island in front for a few days, Tenand, after so many days of drifting at sea, I feel that my legs are not my own, and I can finally rest and rest." ” "How do you know there's an island up ahead?"
Li Mingxin was very curious, this navigator hadn't come to report yet, how did Cheng Chuliang know: "Could it be that you have also learned the skills of a navigator in these days?"
” "Not really, but I'll look at this."
Cheng Chuliang pointed to the sail above his head, or the seabird sitting on the mast to be exact, and said with a smile: "It's not that I haven't done nothing these days, at least I have summed up a rule, that is, as long as there are more seabirds on our mast, it means that the island will not be too far away from us." ” "Really, I didn't even notice it if you didn't say it."
Li Mingxin looked at Cheng Chuliang with admiration, at the beginning, he looked down on Cheng Chuliang, the boss, after all, he was born in the royal family, and he was a close confidant of the emperor, and his own ability was also extraordinary, but what about Cheng Chuliang?
In addition to having a good dad, what is the impression you give to others?
Rudeness, recklessness, loud voice, shamelessness, stupidity, etc., nothing can be associated with shrewdness.
But after a long time of contact, Li Mingxin found that Cheng Chuliang was not unsmart, he was just not good at expressing his cleverness, coupled with the rough energy he learned from his father, which also led to his first impression of others being rude, such people are generally stupid.
But in fact, on the contrary, Cheng Chuliang is not only not stupid, but also very smart and learns things very quickly.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the command ability of this battleship, in the Quanzhou fleet, there are four people who are not trained with the fleet, but join in the middle of the road, these four people are Li Ji, Cheng Chuliang, Li Mingxin and Li Daoyun, that is, the four giants of the Quanzhou fleet - this is also a strange thing, the Quanzhou fleet has been training hard for more than a year, and the four giants are not from professional classes.
However, this also proves the quality of the Quanzhou fleet, after all, he has worked hard for more than a year, and he has not fished for a high position, but he is born in four wild roads, but the guy with a good background actually stole the position of the four giants of the Quanzhou fleet, if it was changed to the Yuezhou fleet or the Dengzhou fleet, they would have exploded a long time ago, but the full-time fleet was only criticized for a period of time in private, but in Mingmian Mountain, it was still the order of the four giants as the first day.
To get back to the point, because the Big Four are all from the wild road, except for Li Ji is remote leader, the remaining three who want not to be responded to by the fleet, there is only one way, that is, with greater enthusiasm and perseverance, more in-depth study of navigation knowledge, and strive to overtake in corners - at best, it can't be worse than those captains.
However, when the three of them studied together, Li Mingxin was surprised to find that Cheng Chuliang was actually the fastest learning progress among the three.
He and Li Daoyun are only half-aware of navigation now, but Cheng Chuliang can actually integrate what he has learned into actual combat, especially his unique fusion of his combat experience and naval combat experience, and actually formed a unique set of tactical style, although it is still only a prototype, but Li Mingxin has reason to believe that if Cheng Chuliang really completes his tactical deduction in the future, then the future will not only have his name in the history of the navy.
Even the official history of the Tang Dynasty will record his life well.
Thinking of Cheng Chuliang, a guy who looks rude and savage, there is a great possibility that he will one day go down in history, Li Mingxin's eyes are green with jealousy, but even if he is jealous, he can't help it, after all, this is Cheng Chuliang's own ability, what is the use of him even if he is jealous?
"Governor, we're about to arrive at Lilac Island, do you want to get in touch with the island in advance?
Provincial misunderstanding?
While the two were talking, the navigator suddenly came over and reported.
"Hey, what am I talking about?
I'll just say there's an island, right?
Cheng Chuliang patted his head and laughed: "It's just that I didn't expect it to be the Spice Islands, and I arrived at the place so quickly, which is great, I heard the prince say that Lilac Island, the main island in the north of the Spice Islands, is a huge island, ranking enough to rank in the top 100 of the world's island rankings, and one short of entering the top 50. ” "Anyway, let's get in touch with each other first."
Li Mingxin heard that he had arrived at his destination, and his face was also very happy: "But don't say it, if you say this, my saliva is going to flow out, I heard that the construction of the Spice Islands has taken a little shape, and some infrastructure has been completed, I have to have a good meal when I go, and I think about it, I only eat vegetarian food on the island, whoever dares to add me a little meat star, I will be in a hurry with whom." ” "I'm not in a hurry to eat."
The navigator also smiled: "I thought about it, I won't do anything when I get to the shore, first boil a pot of hot water, take a good bubble bath, my God, I've been floating on the sea for so long, I feel like my whole person is rancid......"
"Hahaha......"
"Governor, Governor, it's not good......"
Just as the three of them were yy, the lookout suddenly ran down from the lookout, shouting as he ran.
YY was interrupted, Cheng Chuliang was a little unhappy, and said angrily: "What's the matter?"
Why is it not good?
Your family has supervised me very well. ” "No, there's smoke rising from the island ahead......"
"What do you say?
Are you sure?
Cheng Chuliang grabbed the lookout hand, and his eyes widened angrily: "Are you sure it's gunsmoke, not cooking smoke?"
” "No, it's really gunsmoke, can I still tell the difference?"
The lookout explained eagerly.
Throwing away the lookout, Cheng Chuliang roared angrily: "If the order goes down, the merchant ships will immediately stop advancing, and all the warships will speed up, prepare for battle, and set up a one-line array, aiming at Lilac Island......
Forward~" "Yes......"
