Great Song Pirate

Chapter 486
The small island is not big, and so many people search for it, and they will soon be able to cover the entire island. Xu Yi simply found a shady place and sat down, waiting for news from these tribesmen.

Sure enough, as he expected, someone soon came to report that another village was found on the other side of the island, but like this village here, people went to the empty houses, and no one was seen, and it depends on the situation. It's been quite some time.

Xu Yi was even more amazed. How could there be no residents in these two good villages?So I decided to wait and see. When all the ships converged on this island, those who finally searched turned back here one after another, and they all reported that they did not find any more residents on the island.

Xu Yi is really a little strange. This island has mountains, waters, and villages, but there are no people. Could it be that something happened to these people?Will you give up on this island?But he can't prove this now, so he had to order all the ships to replace and replenish fresh water here. There are many snakes on the island, and they are not small. They were caught and made a bowl of fragrant snakes for Xu Yi. soup!

"My lord, I found a skeleton in a cave with an arrow on it. It should have been hit by an arrow, ran here, and died in the cave!" A soldier came to report to Xu Yi.

After Xu Yi heard this, he felt that his prediction was correct. Someone must have attacked this place. Either all the people here were massacred, or all the residents were taken away. Otherwise, the island would not be deserted. live.

"Regardless of this matter, whether there are people is not our concern now, Cui Yan, you go and send people to find some tools, disperse them on the island, no matter it is conspicuous or inconspicuous, chisel these words on the stone wall Let’s dig into the land of the Fubo Army of the Great Song Dynasty!” Xu Yi called Cui Yan over and gave orders.

After hearing this, Cui Yan said: "Decree!" Then he turned and left, but immediately turned back, scratched his head and asked Xu Yi: "My lord! Did I get it wrong? Add the word "Da Song"? Why!"

Xu Yi nodded, but did not explain too much to him. He just said: "No matter how powerful we are, we are still Song people. To put it bluntly, we are all Han people! We must not forget this root, no matter where we go We must remember where our roots are when we do things, and we can’t think that we are Han people because we now occupy Liuqiu Island! But if we write about big Han now, I’m afraid some people will misunderstand it. Just write Da Song! At least people will know that this is the territory of Da Song at least at a glance! Fubo Army represents our place! Go, just follow my instructions, carve as much as you can, This will be our place from now on!"

Cui Yan didn't understand half of what he heard, but he also felt that Xu Yi's words seemed to make sense. No matter what he said, he was still a member of the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't jump out of this category. But he suddenly thought that Xu Yi seemed to be from Nanyang before. The Han people who came back from Australia didn’t even forget their roots, and they couldn’t forget their roots even if they said anything, so they quickly agreed and went to find someone to do this.

Due to the large number of fleets, it will take a lot of time to stop to replenish and replace fresh water, so Xu Yi sent an order to rest here for one night. After dawn, the fleet will continue to set off northward, and at the same time, he will send people to engrave letters everywhere. Enough time is left, allowing the brothers who have been sailing for a few days to take a break is conducive to maintaining strong morale!This time I'm not in a hurry to save people, so why not take it slow!
Now that they have found this island, they will not lose their way again. Based on this island, they will continue sailing all the way to the east, and they will soon reach the next transfer station, jumping along the Ryukyu Islands and then heading north. There will be mistakes, and there is no problem in arriving at Kyushu Island in the country of Wa!But what is the next island?Suddenly Xu Yi's mind got stuck. He hadn't reviewed what he learned on the boat for so long, and suddenly he couldn't remember the name of the next island!

Xu Yi searched carefully in his mind, and finally vaguely remembered the name of the next island, 'Iriomote Island' or 'Shiheng Island'. Now even he himself didn't know which island it should be. Anyway, these two islands It is not small, and there are many small islands nearby, so there is no problem in finding it!No matter which island it is, just drive over and talk about it!Anyway, there is no unified country here now, just treat it as passing by, and talk about it when you come back!
After Xu Yi made up his mind, he went back to the boat and went to bed. He had nothing to say all night and slept soundly. He woke up at dawn. At this time, Cui Yan came to report: "My lord! What you ordered We have already sent people to finish the job, and we have engraved hundreds of handwriting on the island, as long as someone lands on the island, they will be able to see this handwriting, and it will be our territory from now on!"

Xu Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Good job. Inform Sun Hai to order the fleet to set sail and continue heading east. Let's find the next island!"

So this huge fleet set sail again following Xu Yi's order, bypassing Yonaguni Island, which was already considered their Fuba army, and dispersed again, sailing towards the east in a super-large wild goose formation. go.

After all, the weather at sea is changeable. Just after they left Yonaguni Island, within a day, news from Liu Laoliu came from the vanguard fleet in front, saying that the sea was going to be windy that night, and Xu Yi asked everyone to Ship alert!
Hearing this, Xu Yi did not dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered the fleet to start gathering, but he also asked the ships to keep a certain distance to avoid collisions. At the same time, he ordered the ships to prepare wind lanterns and prepare for night sailing. At the same time, he ordered the ships to The compass players on the ship keep their eyes on the compass at all times to keep the course, so that the ship cannot lose its course at night without the guidance of starlight, and maintain the communication between the ships!

After issuing these orders, Xu Yi remembered one more thing, and immediately sent an order to the infantry officers and soldiers of the square boat fleet behind, ordering them not to wear armor on their bodies, and ordering them to stay in the cabin and not to fight in the wind and waves. When they boarded the boat at the right time, they would not be familiar with water, and then they would be hit by the wind and waves into the sea in the dark, and they would sink like weights when they fell into the sea.

After Sun Hai conveyed Xu Yi's various instructions, the fleet immediately gathered up from the original wild goose formation, formed a relatively tight formation, kept a safe distance, and continued to sail towards the east.

At night, as Liu Laoliu expected, a northeasterly wind began to blow on the sea, and the sky was also covered with dark clouds. Soon it began to rain heavily, and the wind speed gradually increased, causing huge waves to rise on the sea.

All the ships followed the huge waves like pieces of dead leaves, constantly bumping up and down, sometimes pushed to the top of the waves by the huge waves, and sometimes fell heavily to the bottom of the valley, all the sailors were nervously adjusting on the boat The sail rigging and the watchman did not dare to blink a single glance, they stared at the wind lanterns hanging on the nearby ships, and reported the distance between the ships to the captains one after another. Adjusting the course, at this time, the power of human beings suddenly became so weak in front of nature.

Xu Yi didn't dare to go to sleep, but stayed on the ship tower, together with Sun Hai, braved the storm and held up the binoculars to observe the situation of the fleet. In such a night, the lights on the ships in the distance The huge waves appear and disappear from time to time, like will-o'-the-wisps, making Xu Yi feel anxious. They have seen such storms before, and they know that the time will not be too long, but if they are not careful, they may fall here , now it's just not far from Liuqiu Island, so it can't just capsize in the gutter!

"Send the lights to inform all the ships that they must keep their course and not get lost. Once they get lost in this ghostly weather, God knows how far they will be blown away in one night!" Xu Yi put down the binoculars and said to Sun Hai.

"Understood! God really took care of us. He has only been out for a few days, so he will test us like this, damn it! We have paid him a lot of tribute! But don't worry, my lord. In this case, we sailor brothers We have basically experienced it, it’s not a big deal, as long as the captain is not an idiot, there is no problem in coping with this kind of storm, our boat is not an ordinary boat, it can withstand such a storm!” Sun Hai complained to God, While comforting Xu Yi, he then ordered the subordinates in charge of the beacon to pass on Xu Yi's instructions.

On the pitch-black sea, there were only some faint lights flickering from time to time. Everyone tried their best to fight against the storm. Under such stormy waves, it was impossible for a person to stand firmly on the boat and walk. It was even more difficult, but none of the sailors left their posts. Even if they were knocked up and vomited, no one was willing to find a place to lie down. In order not to be sucked into the sea by the strong wind, some sailors simply took The rope tied itself to the side of the ship or the mast, and still supported the adjustment of the rigging according to the captain's instructions. Sometimes the sail was furled, and sometimes the sail was adjusted. His teeth were knocked down, and his speech was a little awkward!

"My lord! There are lowly officials watching over here, go down and rest in the cabin!" Sun Hai looked at Xu Yi, who was also drenched, and saw that he was also nailed here like himself, shivering from the cold. , so he advised.

"Stop talking nonsense, I can't lie there even if I go down in this damn weather, I might as well stay here! You are all trying your best, but I ran to hide in the cabin, who do you think I am? Don't talk about this, just ask Is there any problem with the compass hand's heading? If we yaw, we may miss the next island!" Xu Yi wiped the rainwater from his face and shook the coir raincoat on his body. It is useless to put on the coir raincoat right now Yes, it's still raining so hard that even the underwear is running down!

(Monthly ticket! Hurry up and have the support of the monthly ticket, and it will soon fall out of the top [-]! It will be a shame to go on like this!)
