Great Song Pirate

Chapter 488 Landing on the Island
"Order the ships in the fleet to inspect the damage and ask the captains of the ships to report it as soon as possible!" Xu Yi suddenly thought of a new problem, and then ordered Sun Hai.

"Yes! Let them know right away! My lord, let's take a rest too! If there is any news, let me know right away!" Sun Hai persuaded Xu Yi to arrive while agreeing.

Xu Yi looked at the sky that was gradually clearing up, then nodded and agreed. After a day and a night of tossing, even though he was in good health, he still felt exhausted. The right was handed over to Sun Hai, and he went down the ship building and returned to his own cabin.

After a night of strong winds and waves in the cabin, it was also a mess, all moving things were displaced, and the tea sets on the table fell to the ground, and some had been smashed to pieces. Cui Yan immediately called a few personal guards After tidying up the cabin and restoring it to its previous appearance, Xu Yi sat down on the bed.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Yi felt as tired as if he had fallen apart. It was really uncomfortable to stand on the ship tower in this ghostly weather all night, so he threw off his boots, lay on the bed, and told Li Bo and the others A few said: "You all go down and have a rest, you must be tired after staying with me all night!"

Several people shook their heads to express that they were not tired. Someone brought some hot water to Xu Yi and asked him to scrub. After covering his face with a hot towel, Xu Yi felt much more comfortable.

At this time, Sun Hai said outside: "The last general asks to see the lord!"

Xu Yi threw down the towel and stood up. After changing into a dry clothes, he shouted to the outside: "Come in!"

Sun Hai strode in from outside the cabin and reported to Xu Yi: "The statistics of various places have been reported. Except for a few ships with slight water leakage, most of the ships have some damage to the sails. When they came out for the first time, there were spare items on each ship. The humble official had already ordered the ships to start repairing themselves, and it would not affect the continued voyage! Please rest assured, my lord! Another ship has returned to the fleet, and now it is only missing. Eight ships, it is estimated that there will be ships returning to the fleet, our loss is not as big as expected!"

This is good news. Xu Yi felt that the depression in his heart had improved a lot, so he nodded and said to him: "Yes, this time the test of this strong wind fully demonstrates the sailing ability of the sailors of our fleet. , is worthy of being selected elites. It is a blessing for our Fubo army to have them here! Order the ships to disperse while rushing to repair the damaged parts, continue to keep a distance in the shape of geese, and find the nearby island as soon as possible , we need to take a rest now. In my estimation, after the strong wind last night, no matter how hard we try, we will yaw a little south, and we may miss this island. You are also a veteran of sailing, so I don’t need to explain. Know what to do, correct the route as soon as possible, and find a way to find this island! It is estimated that the novices in the infantry must have suffered a lot this time! Let them go ashore to rest!"

Sun Hai immediately agreed. Although he was also exhausted at the moment, it was not time for him to rest, so he turned around and returned to the ship building again, and began to order the fleet to disperse, and began to correct the course, and continued to search for the ship. The island Xu Yi mentioned.

Xu Yi just ate something, lay down and closed his eyes, and began to rest. Being the boss has its advantages, as long as someone below is available, it's okay to take a rest for him, otherwise no one will cut it. I pointed my head and wanted to climb up.

After seeing that the wind and waves at sea had stopped, Yang Zaixing asked someone to put Xiao Jianfeng off the bed legs, and Xiao Jianfeng immediately collapsed on the ground like a mangy dog, refusing to get up no matter what he said.

Yang Zaixing smiled and asked someone to bring some water for him, and poured it down. After a while, Xiao Jianfeng got up from the ground staggeringly, his face was ashen and retched for a while, and finally he could distinguish between the sky and the sky. He hurriedly found a chair and sat down, then looked around nervously, and then said to Yang Zaixing embarrassingly: "Last night, the humble job was really too shameful, and I hope Commander Yang will definitely cover it up for Xiao." Take a moment, otherwise, if this matter spreads, I will really lose face in the future!"

Yang Zaixing also pulled up a chair and sat down opposite him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't tell others that you want to throw yourself into the sea. It's the first time you encounter such a big storm. Few people are better than you." Where can it be so strong, because seasickness is unbearable and people wipe their necks, let alone jumping into the sea! After experiencing this time, you will not be so embarrassed when you encounter such storms in the future. Everything is a habit. !"

Xiao Jianfeng quickly thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Boss, I used to be a standard landlubber. I have never seen such a big storm. I won't be able to do it in the future, I won't! But to be honest, with the idea of ​​humble position, it's the best in the future. It’s better not to encounter such a storm again, the humble job was really uncomfortable last night, and I felt like dying! Horror, it’s just too scary! I’d rather go into battle against a thousand enemy troops, and I don’t want to go through it again !hey-hey!"

Yang Zaixing then burst out laughing, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know you are an enemy of a thousand soldiers and a fierce general, but it's better not to face a thousand enemy soldiers by yourself, otherwise even if you stretch your neck If you cut it casually, you will probably die of exhaustion! When I came out of the land with the lord, I was as unbearable as you. I fainted when I got on the boat. You have performed well! Slowly you will get used to it! Don’t be afraid! Am I already used to it?"

The two laughed for a while, and both felt that the distance between each other had narrowed a lot.

"There are still a few of you, don't tell me about my embarrassment, otherwise, be careful that I will sue you with Commander Yang!" Xiao Jianfeng was especially worried, and he ordered several of Yang Zaixing's soldiers, and threatened them with words .

Several soldiers also laughed, and hurriedly replied: "I dare not! General Xiao please rest assured, if we say anything, let us rot our tongues!"

Only then was Xiao Jianfeng completely relieved, followed Yang Zaixing out of the cabin, and went to check on the situation of his subordinates.

The cabins of the ships loaded with infantry can be said to be a mess, which is horrible. After being tossed all night, the soldiers are lying on the ground in disorder, covered in filth, looking more and more embarrassed, especially It was those guys who vomited everything in their stomachs, their faces were like gold paper, and they looked like they were dying. If they were not still whimpering, they would be no different from dead people.

Although the sailors on the ship were also exhausted to death, they were still much better than them. Under the orders of the captains of the ships, these sailors dragged their tired bodies and sent buckets of clean water to the cabin. , fed those half-dead guys down, and then lifted them out of the cabin one by one, and threw them on the deck to drink the wind and sun.

The fleet spread out in a wild goose formation again on the sea, spread out a very wide distance, and searched the sea for the island that Xu Yi mentioned, and found two more ships that were blown apart during the period, so that the inside of the fleet The people were very happy, and finally near the evening, a piece of land appeared on the horizon, and everyone cheered loudly.

The news reached Xu Yi's ears immediately. He got up, put on his boots and ran out of the cabin quickly, boarded the ship tower and looked into the distance. He really found a large island on the horizon. .

Sun Hai pointed to the island and said with a smile to Xu Yi: "It seems that we didn't deviate too far, after all, we didn't miss the island that the lord mentioned. It seems that we are going to rest here tonight!"

Xu Yi is also watching this island, but he really doesn't know whether it is Iriomote Island or Shiheng Island. After all, he has never been to this island before, and all he knows is what is on the chart on the ship. He wants to impress It is quite deep and impossible, so he nodded and said: "If I remember correctly, the old man once told me that there should be two big islands and many small islands near here. This should be one of them. Let's just lean up and have a look. Right! Maybe there are people living on this island!"

Following the order sent by Zonghenghao, the fleet gathered up again and headed towards the island.

"Look, my lord, there is a boat stranded there, it looks like it should be our boat!" Sun Hai, who was watching the situation on the island with a binoculars, suddenly called out to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi also hurriedly picked up his binoculars and looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, he saw a stranded ship on a beach lined with rocks, but at this time most of the ship had sunk into the water. A small half of the stern of the ship was exposed on the water, and there were two masts. Judging from these things exposed on the water, one could vaguely recognize that it was a ship that was separated from their own fleet. Since then, the seven missing ships have been found. Four boats have come, but I don't know how the brothers on this boat are doing!But right now, at least this ship has been completely scrapped!
The fleet found a bay on the island, and then began to file into the bay, and began to dock on a slightly flat place. Under the control of the sailors, the Crossbar anchored a hundred meters away from the coast.

Xu Yi transferred to the sampan again and came to the shore. As soon as someone saw Xu Yi landed, he brought a few people over.

"You guys see the lord, you guys are incompetent. The boat was blown away from the fleet last night, but it was blown here, hit the rocks on the shore, and was scrapped! Please punish me, lord!" When these people saw Xu Yi He hurriedly apologized.

Xu Yi asked them: "Let's not talk about this matter yet, how is the situation of the brothers on your ship?"

(Don’t worry, everyone, the Ryukyu Islands will take some time to finish, and you won’t be lonely! Anyway, this was our territory before! Don’t talk about it, I’m sorry we Chinese, and now there are too few people who know the history of the Ryukyu Islands! I only think of myself It is popularizing historical knowledge! This matter is also a shame!)
