Chapter 1309 Warning
Going south from the capital, it will take some time to reach Zhejiang. According to Ming Che's intention, they can take an official boat along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and go south. Moreover, it is the rainy season, and the river is open so that they will not often run aground.

Wei Xuan wanted to go by sea, and boarding a boat from Tongzhou, he could sail directly out of the river and into the sea.

But everyone knows that the sea road is extremely unsafe. Pirates, storms, waves, etc. may be encountered on the road. Regardless of natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can kill people.

Mingche turned to look at Xu Lingyue, "Lingyue, is the sea route safe?"

Xu Lingyue glanced at Wei Xuan in front of him, and said in a low voice: "The King of Xichang probably didn't go to the coast just to save our lives. He still has to ask for credit in front of His Majesty. Naturally, arrangements will be made. Let's just go with him."

Since Wei Xuan wanted to take the sea route, it must be the fastest and most convenient way. The canals were shuttling with water transport ships, and the pressure on the waterway was very high, so it was not suitable for a quick march.

Seeing what she said, Ming Che no longer insisted.

There are large official ships to the south of Tongzhou. These were built by Captain Nanjing Long. The largest one is 25 feet long, more than nine feet wide, and has six masts.In addition, there are some small warships, grain ships and so on.

They dispatched a total of more than a dozen ships, three large ships.

The small boat is tied to the big boat for standby.

Mingche was still very suspicious of the safety on the road.

Because of Japanese pirates and pirates, Da Zhou implemented a sea ban policy for a long time, and no boards were allowed to enter the sea, so the development of sea ships was slow, and there were not many experienced sea helmsmen.

But seeing that Xu Lingyue wasn't worried at all, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and board the boat.

Dazhou did not have a dedicated independent navy, but there were also troops dedicated to shipping, and the helmsman was not a problem. After all, the grain and water transportation from the south to the north was well developed, and the helmsmen were also very experienced.

It's just that not many people have experience in going to sea after all!

If this encounters a pirate ship along the way, wouldn't it be a big loss.

He quietly told Xu Lingyue his worries.

Xu Lingyue said seriously: "Third brother is not worried about this, but after returning, whether to train sailors, who will train, and who will take care of it? Where is the dock built, and which department is in charge? How to arrange the equipment on the ship? "

Mingche felt ashamed. Since working with her, he suddenly found himself acting like a fool.

Obviously he is known as a learned man.

Ashamed!

He felt that he was too easily influenced by the king of Xichang, and the alarm bells kept ringing in his mind, so he couldn't think well.

"Where is the sixth brother? When will you come over?"

Although the father wanted to send his sixth younger brother to the Northland, there were others accompanying him. Ming Yi had already said that he would accompany Xu Lingyue secretly, and he knew it was not a joke.

Xu Lingyue turned her head to look, "It will probably be a few days late."

When the big ship enters the water, the draft is extremely deep, and it may even run aground before entering the sea, and hundreds of trackers need to be towed.

After entering the sea, it is like a fish in water, driving smoothly and fast.

It's just that I suffer from some seasickness. The boat travels on the sea, bumping like a carriage, and it's not so comfortable.

When Wei Xuan selected candidates, he selected people with Fushui experience.

Xu Lingyue had to learn how to play in the water when she was training the Shenbing Battalion, and it was hard for a clear person.

Some of Mingche's accompanying guards don't know how to drink water!

Xu Lingyue directly sent a dozen or so soldiers of the Divine Army Battalion, together with Mingche's guards who couldn't swim, to go to the shallow water area to learn swimming by himself in a small boat. You must learn it in a day, otherwise you will go back, so as not to waste time.

He listened to Wei Xuan's instructions along the way, he let the boat sail as he asked, parked as he asked, and walked as he asked, Xu Lingyue didn't ask a word.
