From the top floor, you can overlook the entire fleet from the fleet command cabin.

The Marquis of Ming Dynasty, Governor of the East China Sea Fleet of the Royal Navy, and Zhu Shou, the chief officer of the East Crossing Squadron, are holding a regular meeting.

In front of him, in addition to the generals and deputies from each ship in the fleet, there were also chief officers sent by various departments of the imperial court, as well as chief officers from Rutai Hospital and Shanglinyuan Prison.

The meeting has been going on for a long time.

At this time, it was the turn of the people from Taiyuan Hospital to speak.

"Through our observation, the biggest problem encountered by naval officers and sailors during ocean voyages, in addition to the mental stress caused by being at sea for a long time, is some of the physical problems caused by the long-term lack of fresh food."

When I wake up every day, all I see is not only the endless sea water, but also the overwhelming huge waves from time to time. No matter who you are, you will admit that you are under tremendous pressure, which leads to low military morale.

And fresh food has become something that everyone hopes for.

If it weren't for the strict military discipline of the Ming army, the people at Taiyuan Hospital can guarantee that if it were people from other places, big problems would have arisen long ago.

Zhu Shou frowned and nodded, this problem has already arisen in the fleet.

A few days ago, a fleet officer fell into the water.

No one can tell whether the officer or soldier slipped and fell into the water, or whether he took the initiative to dive because of the pressure in his heart.

The issue of food is even more obvious.

As long as they eat dry food, the officers, soldiers and sailors will feel like chewing dry wax.

Once one day, the fleet cooks a small amount of bean sprouts and sweet potato vine leaves, it will inevitably be robbed by everyone.

At this time, fresh food is far more popular than big fish and meat.

The people from Taiyuan Hospital continued: "So we suggest that after returning to Beijing this time, we need to communicate with the Longjiang Shipyard and increase the space on the ocean-going warships that can be used to plant bean sprouts and sweet potato vines. In addition, we hope that Shanglinyuan Supervisor can

Cultivate more vegetables that are suitable for long-term repeated planting and can grow in a short time.”

In the cabin, the chief officials of the Ministry of Works and Shanglinyuan Supervisor nodded and wrote down the Tai Hospital's proposal in the notebook in front of them.

These things must be kept properly and collected together when returning to Beijing and handed over to the court to prepare for whether the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty can dominate the seas and oceans in the future.

Zhu Shou pondered for a moment and then said: "When we arrive at the destination of the New World this time, we need to start preparing to improve some problems.

For example, when it comes to food, the New World may have many vegetables that are not found in the Central Plains, and they can be grown on ships by then.

After the fleet docks, the people from the Ministry of Industry will not only start to build the city and build various things, but also take the time to make targeted improvements to the fleet's ships."

This is still an errand for the Ministry of Works and the supervisor of Shanglinyuan.

The chief officials of the two yamen who were present nodded their heads one by one.

At this time, on the main mast at the bow of the ship directly opposite the cabin, a naval officer had already slid down the mast.

Not long after, he appeared outside the command cabin.

"General, we have found a place!"

Wang Wangbing's words immediately made everyone in the cabin stand up.

Zhu Shou immediately rushed out of the cabin and climbed to the observation deck at the top of the cabin.

On the observation deck, there is a large fixed telescope.

Zhu Shou grabbed the telescope with both hands, moved his steps, and slowly faced the left side of the fleet.

In the field of vision of the telescope, under the continuous coastline and mountain peaks, an obviously newly built city and a dock deep into the sea suddenly appeared in Zhu Shou's eyes.

Even though the fleet had a precedent of a ship running too close to the coast and sinking, it has now maintained a distance of thirty miles from the coast.

But in the telescope, the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag on the pier is so clear.

"He's one of ours!"

Zhu Shou left the telescope, clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

The people who originally followed him to the observation deck immediately cheered, and then the officers, soldiers and sailors on the entire flagship also began to cheer.

Finally, the ships of the entire fleet sounded their horns.

"The fleet was ten miles away from the pier, put down the clipper to explore the channel, and boarded the pier."

Zhu Shou began to issue instructions.

The entire fleet immediately turned around.

Everyone began to get busy. In this late autumn, they had been sailing for a long time, and at this moment they finally reached their destination after making sacrifices along the way.

Zhu Shou stayed on the observation deck. As the pier got closer and closer, he could already see more and more people on the pier without binoculars, coming out of the walled city behind and rushing over.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the news of the imperial fleet's appearance on the sea to reach the ears of Zhu Yunwen and Sun Cheng.

The wars on the western plains have gradually stopped recently. As winter is approaching, both the Ming Dynasty and the natives who surrendered, as well as the natives who are unwilling to surrender, have chosen to start actively preparing for the winter.

As soon as the news reached Zhu Yunwen's ears, he immediately took Sun Cheng and called everyone to rush to the dock.

"Welcome Master Wang!"

"Welcome Master Wang!"

"Sun Cheng, tell everyone to stop what they are doing and rush to the dock!"

"Tell the Yin Di'an people to go to the dock, change into their old clothes, and start singing and dancing!"

"The New World welcomes Master Wang!"
