The next day, when Fang Xing woke up, he heard someone outside making a noise.

"What's going on at this time?"

He got up and washed up.

The so-called washing is actually a small bowl of water. This is due to the preferential treatment given by Fang Xing’s identity. Ordinary sergeants and crew members can at most wet the towel.

The breakfast was a piece of cake with kimchi in the cake, which tasted good.

After breakfast, I woke up and went to the deck.

And on the deck at this moment, Liu Pu was running.

The sun is not strong in the morning and the temperature is not high. But I run with my shirtlessness and squat down and retching for a while. This is my own fault!

Fang Xing stood in the shadow and watched, Xiaodao walked over and said, "Master, the little marquis have been running for half an hour."

Liu Pu's body was covered with sweat, and under the reflection of the morning light, it reflected light.

Fang Xing turned around and went back, but refused to persuade him.

So Liu Pu continued running until he was exhausted and lay on the deck.

After a while of rest, he got up with difficulty and went to the kitchen to find food.

Of course the chef would not treat him badly, and even secretly gave him a lot of bean sprouts.

The pancakes are covered with fried bean sprouts and kimchi. The taste can make people who have not eaten fresh vegetables for a long time crazy.

Liu Pu ate the big cake, drank a bowl of soup, and then went to the deck after burping.

He found an old crew member and asked the other party very respectfully about common sense about ships and sea.

The old crew member was flattered, and Liu Pu was also sensible, so he couldn't get a piece of meat on the boat, so he gave him a treasure note. The old crew member immediately wanted to give him all his gifts.

So the two walked from the bow to the stern, and with Fang Xing's acquiescence, they even walked all over the treasure ship.

Then there is a teaching of various situations at sea. This kind of knowledge cannot be understood in a few months, so Liu Pu became an extra-staff crew member on the ship, following the operation all day long.

Fang Xing was watching coldly and did not interfere.

"It's time for the fleet that went to earlier to come back."

Hong Bao measured the distance on the chart, and then calculated the location of the advance fleet that had already set off.

Fu Xian gestured with his big hand a few times and said, "At that time, they were only allowed to go out of the strait, and then they came back immediately. It's time to come back."

Fang Xing didn't calculate because the distance was in his mind.

This is the cabin at the bow. Through the thick glass, you can see the slight waves on the sea.

Fu Xian asked: "Xinghe Bo, can you send a ship to support me?"

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "We are not bad at three warships. We can fight if we can. If we can, run away if we can't. My uncle doesn't think they are in danger."

Hong Bao looked up and said, "That's right. I haven't encountered a storm recently. They left and right to look at it. If they encounter an enemy, naturally..."

He looked at Fang Xing and said hesitantly: "Will you pursue it rashly?"

Fang Xing shook his head again, and Fu Xian said, "Xing and Bo are on the ship. This trip is not a matter of expressing the trade of goods. If you violate military orders, then use military laws to speak."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Celebrating the New Year with peace of mind."

"Sentennials are indispensable. I will send ships to the surveyors immediately and search the front and left every day."

Fang Xing never felt that the difference between naval and land warfare was nothing but just a preponderance and firepower attack.

As for the battle between the corners and the Jump Gang, it is already behind the current Ming Navy.

“Practice it.”

So the fleet began formation drills, changing the formation from time to time with the flagship's orders.

"The warship can only exert firepower on the side, so you have to slowly figure out how to effectively attack the opponent and what formation is the best."

So with the order, the warships kept simulating the sidewalk against the enemy, and the gunners on the ship were trying their best to simulate the fire, and the atmosphere was almost close to actual combat.

"ignition!"

A sergeant next to the artillery touched the fire door with a thick and unlit line, and then the people in the artillery team looked ahead habitually.

The warships were all practicing, and the rest of the ships were a little embarrassed.

According to the arrangement, their tasks are auxiliary during combat. When they are absolutely superior, their tasks are to watch the show.

If the enemy is powerful, then their mission is to hide behind quickly and not be entangled by the enemy.

As for the enemy...

"Xinghe Bo, is it a waste to use warships to face the enemy? The treasure ship is invincible!"

Fu Xian had a deep relationship with the treasure ship and felt that Fang Xing had overestimated the enemy.

"They have many boats, and many ants bite the elephants to death."

Fang Xing can only say this, Hong Bao is more expert: "If they had dense fire boats and the treasure ships didn't run, would they avoid them?"

Fu Xian remembered the scene of the dense boat igniting fire and rushing towards the treasure ship, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I can't stop it, I can't hide it."

...

There are more than ten ships docked next to the dock in Sumatra, the largest of which is a treasure ship like a hill.

On the dock, there were natives constantly transporting food and drinking water on board, and the sergeants were staring at them.

Shi Erjie talked to Lin Zheng, who led this small fleet.

"...I haven't heard of another ship coming lately. Lord Lin, have you read it wrong?"

Lin Zheng pointed to his eyes and said, "I have a good eye, better than all the lookout posts. That ship must exist, which is also the reason why I refuse to return. If I don't clear the threat for the army, I will not have the face to go back, nor dare to go back!"

Second Sister Shi is not a good person. She thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lin, is it... even if someone spys on it, they dare not attack and they dare not even test it. It can be seen that they are not a great enemy."

Lin Zheng looked around, and Shi Erjie waved his hand and the two soldiers standing behind her left.

Lin Zheng waited for them to leave before saying, "This matter is not a secret to the court, but be careful, at most you can broadcast one or two of them among those who have a lot of money."

When he heard it was a secret, Shi Erjie said, "Mr. Lin, if it is not related to this place, please stop talking about it, I'm afraid."

Lin Zheng smiled and said, "It has something to do with you."

Sister Shi immediately lowered her head slightly to express her gratitude and listening.

"The Thai delegation arrived in the capital and had a very harmonious relationship with the court. In the judgment of the court, they might follow the back of the Ming fleet last time out of the Naolong Bay and then headed all the way to this side, so be alert."

Second Sister Shi was so shocked and said, "Mr. Lin, there are no decent warships here. If they raid in, the old port will definitely not be able to stop it!"

Lin Zheng smiled and said, "I know, so I came as a vanguard, and the fleet is still behind. Xinghe Bo, Eunuch Hong, and Lord Fu, such a leading lineup, if the Taixi people don't come, they will probably not be able to go back if they come."

Second Sister Shi felt a little relieved and volunteered, but Lin Zheng refused.

"Most of your people are fishermen, and the boat is slow and you can't catch up if you find it, and you may even be sunk by the other side."

At this time, the last batch of natives who were carrying supplies were disembarked. Someone came over and asked, "Sir, can you go to sea after the supply is completed?"

"Anchor!"

Lin Zheng bowed and said, "After I left, Lord Shi remembers to send a ship to the surroundings to detect the enemy. If they find the enemy, they will come back if they are in great power, and they will definitely not dare to land."

Shi Erjie bowed and said, "Yes, I know. Lord Lin. If they dare to land, uncle will be behind and then attack them from the front and back, without their way out!"

Lin Zheng nodded, "Take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

When Lin Zheng returned to the boat, Shi Erjie noticed that his boat was actually a warship, not a larger and more comfortable treasure ship, and felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

The fleet left the dock and gradually moved away.
