"We really can't estimate this!!
That island is huge!
”Zhang Tou and Lao He said one after another: "Then how about we go on this voyage?"
After all, we don't really have a destination when we come out!
”Du Yuhui asked, "My lord, the key is that there is nothing there!"
Although our sea boat is not small, the people you bring to the ship are children!
Why don't we go all the way along the mainland, and we can also reach some Fanbang, let's go and see how the customs of those Fanbangs are?
”Zhang Tou said: Du Yuhui understands his doubts, after all, he thinks that children don't have much ability, and he comes out this time to play, and the most important thing is that they can't afford to be an adult!"
Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, isn't there no one living there!
Since there is no threat in this way, we don't need to be afraid, besides, I think the route you have chosen is to pass from the edge of the continent, and then go straight to this island, it is not a big problem!
”Du Yuhui said: Yes, the only big island he has is the Ryukyu Islands, and the largest one is called Ryukyu Island, at least in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, for Du Yuhui, if it has not been developed, it is his paradise, in fact, Du Yuhui's real purpose is also to go to Ryukyu Island, and this time he also knows that one is to master the performance of the ship to train his team, and the second is to go here, he needs to outline the nautical chart in this area, because there is an hourglass, roughly how long the island goes, He has someone to record, and he himself is also recording, if he wants to really travel far, he knows that it is after a few voyages to sea!"
Alright, let's follow the route we used to take first!"
Zhang Tou said: In the next few days, what Du Yuhui has to do is to observe all kinds of data, and understand some knowledge about navigation in this era, and at the same time, he also continues to consult with Zhang Tou and others, of course, because it is mainly based on the shore to advance, so Du Yuhui can see another reason for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, because the ships coming and going are simply as many as cattle hairs, and there are many larger than their sea ships, which makes Du Yuhui an eye-opener, in fact, this is normal, Because the Great Song Dynasty was a country of sea coachmen earlier than the Netherlands!
At the same time, Du Yuhui also got some useful parameters, a day, his fleet can sail about 50 nautical miles, of course, this needs to depend on the wind speed and ocean currents at that time, etc., but Du Yuhui is a conservative estimate, and at the same time calculates various errors, anyway, it is about this speed!
In addition, because it is an offshore voyage, so Du Yuhui can also see a lot of fishing boats, Du Yuhui sighed at the prosperity of the shipbuilding industry in the Great Song Dynasty, he also has a new goal, yes, we must not let the later dynasties destroy this prosperity, otherwise the Chinese navy in later generations wants to catch up with Western countries, this road will be difficult!"
Junko, I see you're feeling a lot better during this time, and you're almost throwing up!"
One morning, Du Yuhui joked with Shunzi: "Hehehe!
Isn't it!
Much better, and the other kids who vomited on the boat were also much better, we got in touch yesterday!
”Junko said: "After all, we are sailing near the sea during this time, you can all go to the land, and when you are all used to it, when we return, I don't plan to go to these places, but go back directly from the sea!"
Prepare yourselves!
”Du Yuhui said: Yes, he needs to give all the children time to get used to, and when he goes back, Du Yuhui's route plans to go directly north from Ryukyu Island, of course, to see the Ryukyu Islands and the remaining islands between the Japanese and the country, if it is driven like that, it is a real voyage, and the children are also a kind of test, right!"
It's okay, Second Young Master, we're all used to it, aren't we Kuroko!"
Junko said: "I'm still a little dizzy, you let me slow down!"
”Kuroko are fierce on land, but not at sea, and of course these people have been trained in the river!
Otherwise, it's even more choking."
Don't worry, don't worry!
You are slowly adapting, our Dujiazhuang Age of Exploration has just begun!
”Du Yuhui said proudly: "The Age of Discovery?
What's that?
”Kuroko pinched his head and asked, "You'll know later, by the way, tell Du to come and launch some crossbow arrows into the sea for me to see how long these things range?"
”Du Yuhui instructed: Then Du Yu and they began to test shoot crossbow arrows, the sea is much wider than the land, and the crossbow arrows shot out are very far, but Du Yuhui also sighed: "Damn, it would be nice if I could hope for a telescope, I can't see where to shoot!"
”"Second Young Master, what is a telescope!"
Du Yu asked: "This is what my father said, I can talk about it later, you did a good job, by the way, after the boat is stopped at night, let's go fishing from today onwards!"
And Uncle Zhang, from this evening, when the ship breaks anchor, it will be a little farther away from land, and I think it will be 20 nautical miles!
”Du Yuhui said: Before anchoring at night to rest, are directly near the shore less than 3 nautical miles, anyway, to ensure the draft of the ship becomes, after a few days of sailing, Du Yuhui has a certain understanding of the ship, and at the same time has an understanding of various parameters, he will slowly increase the training range, you must know that the distance from the mainland, children can not go on land, this is also a new beginning!"
Oh, good!"
Zhang Tou responded simply: From Lin'an Mansion to Ryukyu Island before and after sailing for 13 days, and during this period can be said that nothing happened, including the weather is very good, there is only a light rain in the middle, May 30, under the leadership of Zhang Tou and Lao He old guides, Du Yuhui appeared on the sea surface of the periphery of Ryukyu Island with his fleet, but it was late at this time, Du Yuhui ordered: "We will rest at sea tonight, and tomorrow we will go to the island to see what is going on!"
”"Okay, Second Young Master, I finally don't vomit or get seasick, I'll go around the land tomorrow!"
Kuroko said: "During this time, we caught a lot of fish at night that we haven't seen before, but it's delicious, I don't know how the harvest will be tonight?"
”Junko said: "By the way, Uncle Zhang, are there no pirates on this sea!"
Why didn't we see it when we came out this time!
I've heard a lot of people say that there are pirates on the sea!
”Du Yuhui turned around and asked Zhang Tou and said: "That's the case, the route we took before was mainly close to the mainland, and our own ships in the Great Song Dynasty are not huge enough, and there are many sailors on each ship, and once a fleet finds pirates, they will also use fireworks to ask for help from the ships in the surrounding waters, which is an unresolved rule between our Great Song Dynasty merchants, and under normal circumstances, when this happens, they will go to help rescue, so unless the fleet is alone, or the number of pirates is very large, Otherwise, they would not dare to easily intercept the ships of our Great Song Dynasty, many Fanbang people have bought the ships of our Great Song Dynasty for maritime trade, in addition to our Great Song Dynasty ships are good enough, it is also for this reason, there is another reason why we have not encountered pirates, although our fleet is not the largest ships, but fortunately, there are enough of them, we know that the people on it are all children, but the pirates don't know!
This entire fleet is at least 1,800 people, and you think, how can such a large pirate force come and rob us!

So there are pirates, and they also make a detour!
”Zhang Tou said: "Ao is like this!
It's a pity!
”Du Yuhui went to sea this time, he wanted to accumulate a little experience in naval warfare, but as soon as Zhang Tou said it, he understood, indeed, if the pirates can eat their own fleet, then the maritime environment of the entire Great Song Dynasty will be bad, and it will seriously affect the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty mainly relies on the sea, right!
So Du Yuhui knows everything, the biggest pirate can have one hundred and eighty people, it is estimated that even if it is many, it is still possible to hijack a single ship!"
Don't say that, my lord!
If we encounter pirates, the children will be in trouble. ”Zhang Tou was also startled when he heard Du Yuhui say it's a pity, and then said: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'm just just asking and talking casually!."
”Du Yuhui said: Early the next morning, Du Yuhui and others had breakfast, although they also dissuaded Du Yuhui and did not want him to board the Ryukyu Island to adventure, but they couldn't stop it at all, of course, Du Yuhui also left enough people on the boat, he only took 200 people to go ashore on a small boat."
Second Young Master, in addition to the forest area on this shore, there is no place to rest in the Eight Scenic Spots!"
After Junko went ashore, he said: "It seems that the problem is with me, I am too anxious, so let's go back to the ship, and then circle around the Ryukyus, you have to record the general situation of this Ryukyu Island, and count the number of hours from the time we sailed, we have to calculate all this, and you make a mark for me here, and when we return to the opposite side of here, we will have a reference value!"
”Du Yuhui said: "Second Young Master, how about we cut down a few big trees, I have been suffocated in the past few days, and I have nowhere to do it!"
”Kuroko said: "It's a good way to quickly divide a team of people to cut down trees, another pair of people to guard, and the rest of me will come with a few people and take a walk in the woods!"
”Du Yuhui commanded, and then the group followed what Du Yuhui said, with a clear division of labor, and Du Yuhui took 20 people to the forest area and walked less than half a mile before coming back
