European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 111 Entering Britain for the First Time

The British Isles at this time are not like the empire on which the sun never sets. Since Rome fully withdrew from the British Isles in the fifth century AD, the Anglo-Saxons from Central and Northern Europe have taken over the territory, and the islands have been divided into seven The country continued to separatist and melee, and it was not until the ninth century AD that it was completely unified.

Although the local area retains many Roman relics, it cannot withstand the obstacles caused by war and isolation. The overall level of the British Isles lags far behind that of the European continent on the other side.

Most of these envoys lived in the deep castle for a long time. Seeing the endless sea outside the ship, they leaned on the side of the ship and looked around excitedly.

"Look, look, there are a lot of fish following the boat and jumping up from time to time."

"Hey, hey, look at the top of your head, be careful."

Flocks of seagulls flew across the sea facing the merchant ship, and the messengers were so frightened that they held their heads and squatted. When the seagulls approached the ship, they swooped down on the sea surface and pocketed the churning mackerel in mid-air. Turned around and returned to the sky to have a bird's-eye view of the lone sail on the sea.

The envoys, who were half-frightened to death, saw that they were fine, and started making fun of each other again.

"Look at you, it's just a little courage, but some seabirds scare you like this."

"Don't say you are very brave, I remember you were the first one to squat down."

"I saw that your legs were still shaking when you were squatting. It must have frightened you."

There was another burst of laughter during the joke. Li Peijun looked at this group of playful nobles, but he couldn't arouse any interest in his heart, and just watched the dark sea in silence.

"It's a good thing these guys didn't make any noise but clamored for a duel. Otherwise, if a guy died, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the Duke." Li Peijun complained to himself, and stretched out his hand to check the direction of the wind.

The English Channel is not very spacious. The narrowest part is only 31 kilometers, and the widest part is only 180 kilometers. Starting from the port of Hafleur, where Li Peijun is located, it will take less than a day to travel there, and the physical strength will not be too great. consume.

"Huh? It turned out to be the wind."

Li Peijun felt the gentle sea breeze with his hands, and observed the canvas moving with the wind, and came to such a conclusion.

"It seems that the lord also has some insights into navigation knowledge, and Possant admires it."

Unknowingly, Possant, who was still in the cabin before, was already standing on the deck at this moment. The cloth shoes did not leave a crisp sound of kicking on the deck, and the whole person seemed to approach him quietly on purpose.

"It's nothing special, it's just a trick." Li Peijun said modestly.

Possant was reluctant and wanted to ask to the end, "I heard that the lord came from Rouen to take up his post. Could it be that there was a special fisherman who taught him some experience before?"

Li Peijun smiled and waved his hands and said: "I went to Honfleur with the Duke before, and I received a little advice, most of which are self-taught."

"Oh, it turns out that the lord is also a person with extraordinary talents." Possant flattered.

"You stayed in the cabin before, did you get seasick?"

Possant shook his head, "How can the people in the ocean be tossed by such a small storm? I was looking at a map of England. Your lord should worry about these landlubbers."

The two turned their gazes to the envoys behind them again, and they were stirring the waves from the boat with their hands, still enthusiastic.

"Everyone, please be careful. This is not my own bathhouse. The sea water is unfathomable. If you are not familiar with water, I hope you don't lean half of your body out of the boat." Possant kindly reminded.

The envoys also had lingering fears after hearing this, and moved closer to the center of the ship plank.

There is no rotten smell on the unpolluted sea, only the fragrance of the sky and the strong fishy smell on the sea. Even this natural and primitive scene cannot attract Li Peijun's attention.

If it can be like Columbus described, there are groups of fish swarming around the hull, and the whole ship seems to be floating above the fish. Appeared across the ocean in Newfoundland.

The swaying canvas suddenly swelled, and the bound hemp ropes tried their best to hold the leather sail on the mast. A strong cross wind hit the sea, and the flanks were accompanied by huge waves, wantonly destroying the ship. merchant ship.

Everyone was drowned by this sudden thing, and the tearing shaking caused many people to fall heavily on the deck. The sea quickly returned to calm, leaving only the mackerel still struggling on the deck. fish.

"Wow, this is really stimulating, like taking a bath, but the smell of this water is really uncomfortable. It would be great if some spices could be added."

Another messenger interrupted him, "I really hope the boat capsizes, see if you can still smile."

"Stop talking, God will bless our voyage this time, let us pray devoutly." A peacemaker came out to smooth things over, and everyone dragged their wet bodies and silently chanted blessings.

"Aren't you panicked, my lord? It looks like it has been through a lot of wind and rain." Passant praised again from the bottom of his heart.

"Such storms and waves often occur on the sea. It is nothing to be afraid of. It is the strong winds in the ocean that can directly lift merchant ships from the sea to the sky, so you have to worry for a long time." Take your time.

"I remember that the weapons and equipment in England seem to be relatively backward. Most of them are armed with wooden shields and iron spears. Even cavalry is a rare type of troops."

Possant nodded and said, "As you said, the level in England is not as good as that of Harfleur, not to mention the situation in Rouen and Paris. What's the matter? Your lord wants to sell weapons and equipment?"

Li Peijun has some reservations about this, "Our own material supply has not yet formed a scale, so we can't care about other people's affairs. It's time to form Hafleur's standing army."

Possant nodded understandingly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Under the turbulence of the day, the aristocratic envoys who were originally full of interest were already vomiting and diarrhea at this time, and the fainting feeling in their heads even made them lose their balance. They fell headlong on the deck before taking two steps, like a salted fish The same lay flat and waited to disembark.

"How long is it?" After the confused messenger exhausted his last strength to ask this sentence, he was completely unconscious before waiting for a reply.

"Hurry up, there is still a quarter of an hour." The calm Possant shouted at the unconscious guy, but unfortunately he was already lying on the deck motionless.

Because of Li Peijun's systematic body protection, his body can automatically adapt to the many discomforts of the sea under the influence of navigation skills, so now he looks at the sea like a normal person.

Not far away, a continent gradually appeared in the field of vision, and as the distance gradually approached, everything on the shore could be seen in a panoramic view.

"This port is a bit crude, why choose to dock here." Li Peijun looked at the dilapidated town on the shore, which was not as good as the one he saw when he first arrived in Hafleur.

Possant spread his hands, feeling a little helpless, "No way, the envoy previously explained that this operation is considered a semi-secret, so he didn't plan to disclose his whereabouts, so naturally he had to find a remote place to dock, and there was no one at the port here. Management, no need to pay taxes, haha."

Li Peijun was also speechless when he looked at it. The shallow beach gave people the illusion that he would run aground in the next second. Li Peijun's hanging heart did not finally let go until the moment the ship stopped.

"By the way, what's the name of this place." Li Peijun asked.

"Eastbourne."
