Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 625 The Great Voyage Age

After visiting the steam engine ship in Tianjin, Wu Dong did not return to Yanjing City immediately.High-speed update He and Li Shishi took a treasure ship to the Dengzhou area, and two days later, they arrived in Dengzhou.

At the moment, on the pier of Dengzhou Prefecture, several middle-aged people were shaking their heads and looking around, as if they were waiting for something.

When they saw the treasure ship coming, these people cheered.Some people ran to the distance immediately, and others called their companions, and dozens of people rushed here soon.

When Wu Dong and Li Shishi got off the boat, these people had already come to them.

Seeing Wu Dong, these people hurriedly saluted.

"Brother Chao Gai, we haven't seen each other for a long time!" Wu Dong said with emotion as he stared at the leader, a strong man in his fifties.

The person in front of him is none other than Chao Gai who took refuge in Liangshan back then!After Wu Dong, Hua Rong and others went to Korea and Hedong, it was Chao Gai who presided over the affairs of Liang Shanbo!Now the world is peaceful, many people on Liangshanbo have moved to the shore, Liangshanbo has gradually become barren, and now Chao Gai has finally resigned from all positions.

"It's been a long time!" Chao Gai couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Now it is the seventh year of Datong. When he first came to Liangshan, there was not much population in Liangshan!By counting, he and Wu Dong have known each other for almost 20 years!

"Brother Chao, you two brothers Ruan, have you really thought about it?" Wu Dong said.

It turns out that not only Chao Gai is here, but Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu are also here. They also just resigned from all their posts a while ago, and they are waiting here for Wu Dong's arrival.

"In fact, when His Majesty did not rule the world, I had plans to go to sea! We have thought about it for a long time, and we have already decided!" Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile.

"The waves on the sea are undulating, extremely dangerous! Even though you have lived in Liangshanbo for many years, even if you are all good players in the water, I am still afraid that you will not be able to cope with the environment of the sea!" Wu Dong said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, nothing will happen to us." Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile.

"You are all my old brothers, I don't trust you to go." Wu Dong said.

"Your Majesty, let us go! Now that the world is unified, we are no longer needed, and we can finally do our own things with peace of mind! If I don't go outside and wander on the sea, I always feel that I have something to worry about .” Ruan Xiaoer said.

"Those people in the Academy of Sciences say that the world is round, and we live on a big sphere! If we keep going in one direction, sooner or later we will return to the original place! This time we just want to see if this world is It's round! Will the opposite direction be able to come back!" Ruan Xiaowu laughed.

"Since you are so determined, then I support you!" Wu Dong finally nodded.

"Your Majesty, besides us, there are still some people going." Chao Gai said with a smile.

"Oh?" Wu Dong was taken aback.

Chao Gai beckoned, and a few more people came over, and the leaders were Yelu Dashi and Yelu Jinning, uncles and nephews!

"Are you going to sea too?" Wu Dong asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have already made a decision!" Yelu Dashi said.

"Aren't you happy in Central Plains?" Wu Dong asked.

"Your Majesty, we are doing nothing in the Central Plains. This is not the life I want! Back then I had ambitions, and even wanted to conquer the world! Of course, it seems that this so-called ambition is a joke! With Your Majesty, any hero can You must submit to His Majesty! Since the wish of the year cannot be fulfilled, why not go to sea and see the scenery of the sea, it is worth living!" Yelu Dashi said.

Wu Dong nodded silently, and after a while, he said: "I have prepared a huge fleet for you! This fleet not only won the support of the imperial court, but also won the support of many businessmen! In addition, the Academy of Sciences At one time, many people will go to sea with you, and the military department will also send 5000 elite naval soldiers! Every time you go to a place, you have to stay for a while, and representatives from the Academy of Sciences, the military department, and businessmen will conduct local inspections, make maps, etc... …you will be the first people ever to travel around the world and I wish you all the best of luck.”

In the original history, the first person to travel around the world was Magellan!At that time, Magellan only used five merchant ships and spent three years to complete the round-the-world journey. The number of crew members and the amount of food and medicine they carried were very limited. Half of the crew members died on the way, and Magellan himself died on the way. !But this time, Liangshan used at least ten times more ships and personnel than Magellan!Of course, compared to Zheng He's voyages of later generations, their scale is still much smaller.

In September, a huge fleet of more than 9 people set off!The soldiers and scientific researchers on board were very excited, and some were crying silently!They don't know if they can return to the Central Plains, or if they can see their hometown!But if he wants to take risks, they are not willing to die silently on the land of the Central Plains!

"The era of great voyages has come!" Wu Dong said softly.

He has made a decision, no matter whether these people can complete the round-the-world travel or not, he will reward these people!He wants to encourage more people to enter the sea, explore the sea, discover the wealth in the sea, and discover new continents!The Han people want to challenge the sea and all unknown areas. The spirit of great voyages will bring new hope to this nation, continue to transform this nation, and let this nation be reborn!

The fleet headed south first, and in mid-September they arrived in the Quanzhou area, where they made some supplies!

In October, they came to the Nanyang Islands!At this moment, Nanyang has been conquered by 10-year-old Wu Hai, and they have received warm hospitality here.

October of the lunar calendar is already winter, and it is likely to be snowing heavily in the north at this moment, but it is still hot here. This strange environment surprised everyone in the fleet.

Here they packed countless water and food and then continued to the east.

In history, Zheng He's voyages went west, but this time they went east.

The vast sea is extremely dangerous!Needless to say, the storms that are often encountered are the diseases that are even more terrifying!However, there are countless doctors and medicines on Liangshan's fleet. Although some crew members occasionally fell ill and died, there was no large-scale plague.

In such a vast sea, even experts in the water like Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu are a little at a loss, and their skills can't play much role in front of the sea.

"This is the sea! If it is true that the world is round as those in the Academy of Sciences said, we, as the first batch of witnesses, will surely be recorded in the history books in the future!" On the bow of the treasure ship, Yelu Jinning said to Yelu Dashi road.

"Haha, although I, Yelu Dashi, can't conquer the world, if I can become the first group of people to complete the world, it will be enough to make up for my regret." Yelu Dashi laughed.

"I heard that there are many lands in the sea, and some of them are not even under the Central Plains. I don't know if it's true or not?" Yelu Jinning asked.

"I don't know... we need to search for it! If we can find a new continent, what kind of achievement would it be?" Yelu Dashi said excitedly.

"In the new continent, there must be gold and precious stones... Maybe we can become rich!" Yelu Jinning said.

There was excitement and longing in their eyes, and Yelu Dashi couldn't help clenching his fists. He suddenly felt that conquering the sea was more meaningful than conquering the world, and this was the life he wanted!

Half a year passed, and until March of the eighth year of Datong, they finally saw land in the vast sea.

"Is...is it land? Or is it a huge island?" Chao Gai murmured.

"It should be a piece of land! You can't see the edge at a glance, how can there be such an island?" Yelu Dashi said.

"People from the navy have already landed!" Ruan Xiaoer ran over and said.

On this day, they came to the distant American continent.
