Chapter 331 Taishici's expedition to Ryukyu

In the face of Tai Shici's meticulous questions, Zulang, who had been fully prepared, answered smoothly. In order to make Tai Shici fully understand the navigation level of the Fini tribe, Zulang even presented the props needed for sailing in front of Tai Shici one by one.

As a native primitive tribe, the people of the Fini tribe rely on the primitive sail rudder as the power and direction to control the ship's navigation, and rely more on the "needle book" (navigation guide), "compass" (compass), "water weight" (lead block sounder) and the nautical scriptures in people's minds. In the vast sea, he drove a flat boat, bypassed the reef and dangerous beach, avoided the wind and waves, fought against the sky and the earth, traveled south and north, crossed the Taiwan Strait, and sailed in the vast South China Sea region. These sailing equipment and nautical experience are the crystallization of the diligence, bravery, wisdom and wisdom of the people of the Fini tribe, and even a valuable experience summed up of life and property.

When Tai Shici saw the compass taken out by Zu Lang, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

With a compass, even if the weather is cloudy, it is possible to go to sea. In this way, sailing does not need to rely on observing the sky. After all, before the compass, the Big Dipper and the North Star were needed as references for navigation.

Through Zu Lang's detailed description, Tai Shici and the dead wood road chief deeply understand that sailing is particularly dependent on the weather, just as the people who cultivate on land are particularly dependent on the weather. Through Zu Lang's puzzles, Taishi Ci knew that a barbarian without words has more and more accurate navigation knowledge than contemporary civilized fishermen. There is no other reason: practice every day, "only familiar"!

The Fini tribe can distinguish the seasonal changes by pointing to the handle of the Big Dipper at the beginning of the dim: the handle points to the east, and the world is spring; the handle guide, the world is summer; the handle points to the west, and the world is autumn; the handle points to the north, and the world is winter. The North Star is the symbol of the north, that is, in the direction of the north. The Fini tribe uses the Big Dipper to identify the direction.

Of course, after thousands of years, the Fini tribe also has divination. They watch meteorological and sailing, such as occupying the wind, occupying the cloud, occupying the rainbow, occupying the fog, occupying the sun, occupying the tide, watching the "bad wind aura" and the fixed four-way thunder and lightning method, etc. In this way, they adjust the flight schedule, route, and speed!

Of course, as an equivalent exchange, Tai Shici also gave the martial arts cultivation secrets obtained from Haoqiang to Zulang and Yan Baihu. With these martial arts secrets, the combat effectiveness of the barbarian tribes will definitely be greatly improved.

During the banquet, Zulang also reported to Taishici: the Japanese country in northern Ryukyu has been harassing and becoming more popular recently; the powerful Japanese pirates are really not able to resist the Gaoshan people, the Fini tribe and the cave tribe. I hope that Taishici can intervene to help the Ryukyu barbarian tribes.

Hearing the news, Tai Shici blew his beard and stared at it and was furious: Fuck, these Japanese pirates are really overpowerful! Prepare manpower, and I will personally lead the team to play these dog days...

Tai Shici, who has always been gentle, was furious, and Zulang and others were shocked. However, they didn't think about it: Tai Shici, who had never fought with the Japanese pirates, how could he hate the Japanese pirates so much? They didn't know that Taishi Ci was assassinated by Japanese pirates on the way before, and they didn't know that Taishi Ci had seen the evil poison of Japanese pirates on the battlefield of Guandu...

Of course, Taishici knew why the Japanese pirates invaded the barbarian tribes of Ryukyu, because the Japanese pirates have repeatedly suffered setbacks in the coastal area of Qingzhou, and the already aggressive Japanese pirates have no strength to use all their body. They can only vent to the Ryukyu barbarian tribes... Eat persimmons and pick up soft pinch, this truth. The whole world is connected.

Originally, Tai Shici planned to stay in Gulang City for only a few days. Now when he heard that the war on Ryukyu Island was tight, he changed his mind and dispatched soldiers who were good at water warfare to gather in Gulang City to sail at any time and go to the Ryukyu Islands.

For the purpose of cultivating Lu Xun, Tai Shici refused the request of He Qi, the king of the water, and specially transferred Lu Xun from the rear to the front line. Within three days, Taishi Ci gathered 6,000 troops from three battalions. At this time, it happened that Bailichuan, the chief elder of the Evil Spirit Religion, also came to Huiji County to visit Taishici. Taishici also took Bailichuan with him and went on an expedition to Ryukyu Island.

Lin Fan, who was beginning to teach her son Taishishuai to learn Taoism, was very dissatisfied with Taishi Ci's voyage. She and Taishi's wives complained: While the world is peaceful, Taishi should stop for a few years. Children's education is very important. It's good to spend more time with your family...

Complaining returned to complaining. Lin Fan saw that Taishi Ci's will to go to sea was so firm, so she hastily ended the foundation-building practice of Tai Shishuai's introduction to monition, and then drove the white crane and silver sculpture to Gulang City to accompany Taishi Ci to sail to sea. Tai Shici, who has no attack power, really worries Lin Fan and his ladies.

Like Ryukyu Island, the Japanese country in Dongying, Lin Fan once traveled with cranes. It was her first time to go by boat.

When she flew over the fleet and saw the huge ship in sight, she was clumsy: good Lund East, stir-fried green onions with leeks! Is there such a big ship in the world? This dead wood Taoist priest is really a genius! The level of shipbuilding craftsmen is also unique and outstanding!

The captain of the treasure on Taishici is 44 feet, and the one with a width of 18 feet is sixty-two. This scale is converted into today's scale. The treasure ship will be 135 meters long, 60 meters wide, with a displacement of nearly 20,000 tons and a load of nearly 10,000 tons. The deck area is about the size of a football field. The boat has four floors, and there are twelve sails hanging on the nine masts, each of which is the size of a basketball court.

There is a powerful tiger head relief on the front of the bow, a solemn flying dragon relief or painting in the front of the flanks, a phoenix painting on the rear, and a roc bird that is ready to fly above the stern board.

Behind the main ship is a small building ship. The pattern of the four building ships is almost the same as that of the main ship, that is, the size of the ship is one-third smaller. With the help of the wind, the treasure ship and the building ship are moving very fast.

Facing the sea breeze and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and sea, Tai Shici and Lu Xun drank wine and ate seafood. Tai Shici is known as the super overlord in the water, and it is also the first time for a big girl to go to sea in such a huge ship. Although Lu Xun lives in the coastal area, he is also the first time in his life to participate in a long voyage. The freshness, excitement and joy in the hearts of the two people are not so strong.

At this time, Bailichuan, the elder of the Evil Spirit Sect, is still hiding at the bottom of the treasure boat, drinking wine alone. Only at night can Taishici pull out to accompany him...

The long sky is the same color as the sea, and the morning glow and the seagulls fly together. How do people feel when they take a treasure ship and sail between the blue sky and the blue sea? Open-minded, happy and forgetful, and have a clear mind.

When Lin Fan flew over the treasure ship with the white crane and silver sculpture, Tai Shici felt it. He smiled and said to Lu Xun, "Lieutenant Lu, there are Taoist friends visiting!"

Lu Xun was stunned when he heard the words and looked around, but nothing was found. When the silver sculpture rushed into the pavilion first, regardless of Lu Xun's vigilance, he buried his head and worked hard with the delicious seafood on the table.

The sentry on duty on the deck was about to expel the silver eagle when he was waved by Taishici: Everything is normal, don't be impatient! When the sentry saw Tai Shici's gesture, he continued to be on duty.

At this time, Lin Fan flew into the pavilion leisurely with the white crane. Lin Fan, dressed in white, showed his immortality and Taoism, looking forward to shine and brilliance. Due to the change in the environment, Tai Shici also felt that Lin Fan brought him a sense of freshness and freshness. Lu Xun was restrained by Lin Fan's elegant and handsome posture. He was stunned for a moment. The little nun's master - lost his composure.

It is also a bird, and the white crane is much more reserved than the silver eagle. Bai He looked straight at the seafood, but he didn't act. As soon as the silver sculpture comes up, it is full of wind and clouds. As the owner, Lin Fan naturally knew Bai He's mentality. She first nodded slightly to Lu Xun, then took out the sea cucumber and fish belly from the table full of seafood and handed it to Bai He. The white crane shyly swallowed the food, while the golden eagle looked like a starving ghost and went all out for the dishes on the table.

Lin Fan just sat down. Tai Shici got up and quickly introduced to Lu Xun: "Lieutenant Lu, this is my Taoist friend..."

Zuo Ci looked at Lu Xun with a smile, and then Liu frowned slightly and interrupted Tai Shici's words in a delicate voice, "Brother Lu, poor Lin Fan, is a close friend of Tai Shici's double cultivation!"

After all, he came from a rich family. Lu Xun instantly returned to normal and got up to meet Lin Fan. "Shuangxiu's Taoist friend", Lu Xun naturally knew what it meant. He was very envious in his heart: It turned out that General Taishi had two wives, one was Ma Yunqi, who was born in the realm, and the other was a master of Taoism...

"Ha ha, they are all our own people. Don't make a living!" Tai Shici heard Lin Fan so open and said in embarrassment. In fact, he knew that he was Lin Fan's close friend, but he was not as close as "double cultivation".

The reason why Lin Fan said so much to Lu Xun was that Tai Shici wanted to cultivate Lu Xun into a confidant, and it was because Tai Shici wanted to kiss Lu Xun. Tai Shici's proposal, after everyone's negotiation, Cuier, a disciple of Wumen, took the initiative to contribute a stand-in, who was rushing to Huiji County from other places. Of course, this stand-in, external identity, is Tai Shici's cousin.

Between countries, between forces and forces, deepen friendship through peace, and people can also establish a strong relationship through in-laws. With the strengthening of the power of Taishici's side, the core personnel of Taishici's side have also found that it is not as easy as before to cultivate confid soldiers at this time. With the expansion of power and territory, what the power behind Taishici should hide is confined to the outside world.

Sometimes, Tai Shici himself is also confused: Why is the intimate relationship between superiors and subordinates so easy to establish at the beginning, but it is difficult at this time? This may be the inevitable result of the expansion of power and territory: after all, there are as many as 20,000 soldiers under his command, and many people come from all over the world. As the main general, if he has a close relationship with that side, he will inevitably make many parties feel cold. It affects the unity between people.

At the beginning, Tai Shici's generals were only three battalions and 6,000 people. On such a scale, Tai Shici could still live, eat and train with them. Later, Taishi Ci led his army to fight in all directions, but only more than 2,000 people followed him. In this case, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is naturally very strong. Nowadays, the territory is large and the team is strong. Tai Shici can only rely on rules and laws to manage his soldiers. He seldom directly face-to-face with his subordinates.

From another perspective: only by keeping a proper distance can we maintain the majesty and mystery of the general and ensure the loyalty under his command.

And Lu Xun is young and intelligent, and he is a rare talent. If you miss such a young talent, Tai Shici is afraid of being struck by lightning. Therefore, Tai Shici tried to attract Lu Xun through his in-laws and gradually brought him into his circle.

Of course, worship is also a way, but worship is not suitable for Lu Xun. After all, there is a huge family behind Lu Xun. Worship is a personal act, and in-laws are two big things.
