Xiakou City General Mansion:

Gan Ning was back. Qin Qi immediately summoned Gan Ning after receiving the news to find out more about the situation.

After conquering the Yanhuang Islands, Qin Qi asked Gan Ning to take more than 20 five-masted warships to sea and explore the eastern sea.

After more than a year, Gan Ning returned, which made Qin Qi extremely excited.

This time Gan Ning led the fleet to explore unknown waters from the east, which was definitely a big event for the navy in the Xiakou area.

Many civil and military officials in the Xiakou area also wanted to know what the situation was like in Gan Ning's exploration of the sea.

Everyone ran to the general's mansion one after another.

Qin Qi invited all the officials to come in and sit down, waiting for Gan Ning to arrive.

"Lord, General Gan is here."

Dian Wei Dao.

"Lao Dian, please invite our heroes in quickly. I haven't seen General Xingba for several years."

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Dian Wei Dao.

The sea to the east is an unknown area, and even the officials in Xiakou area don't know what's going on.

Only Qin Qi knows that there will be many islands.

By exploring the sea area, the defense depth of the Central Plains region can be expanded to the east, achieving the purpose of annihilating enemies at sea.

Ensure that the Central Plains area is not invaded by enemies from the sea.

Damn it!

Thinking about later generations, the Central Plains Empire was constantly compressed by beautiful countries, and its living space was constantly squeezed. It always sent aircraft carriers and fighter planes to the South China Sea and made trouble in the East China Sea.

This plane?

hey-hey!

No need to think about the beautiful country.

Whether there is a beautiful country is another matter.

Even if a beautiful country exists, it cannot be allowed to rise. It must be suppressed and nipped in the bud.

It is best to capture the North American continent and not give the beautiful country a chance to establish a country.

While Qin Qi was having sex, Gan Ning walked in.

His skin looks much darker, like a black man.

After several years of exposure to the sun every day, it’s strange that I don’t get dark.

"I've met my lord! I've met all your lords and generals. I've returned from my humble duty and successfully completed the tasks assigned by my lord."

Gan Ning said.

Qin Qi suddenly stood up, walked up and hugged Gan Ning, and patted Gan Ning's back a few times with her palms.

Gan Ning was one of the earliest elders who followed Qin Qi.

When Qin Qi came to Xiakou to take up the post of prefect, Gan Ning took refuge with Qin Qi and helped Qin Qi form the Xiakou Division.

The Navy has grown from scratch, from weak to strong, and then to fame, becoming famous all over the world, and achieving great military exploits.

"Xing Ba, just come back safely. I have been worried about the five-masted warship being unreliable and being blown away by the waves."

Qin Qi said.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord!"

Gan Ning said.

"Xingba, you may be tanned, but your energy and energy are very good. Needless to say, I am also aware that you have suffered a lot."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, it's okay to endure some hardships in your humble position, as long as you complete the mission. Fortunately, although this voyage was not very smooth, I managed to complete the mission."

Gan Ning said.

"Sit down, let's have a few drinks tonight, stay drunk and celebrate General Xingba's safe return."

Qin Qi said.

"Thank you, lord."

Gan Ning said.

"Xingba, tell us all, what difficulties did you encounter?"

Qin Qi said.

well!

Gan Ning let out a long sigh.

"My lord, you are so wise. When I go to war, my lord told me that I must bring that lemon with me.

To be honest, I didn’t think it was necessary to bring lemons with me at that time. They were sour, and they were just fruits. After a few months of sailing on the sea,

Only then did I realize that lemons are a good thing. Without lemons, many soldiers would probably die."

Gan Ning said.

Qin Qi nodded.

I understand in my heart that eating big fish and meat every day in the sea will not replenish vitamins in the body, which will weaken the body's immunity.

Over time, many diseases will develop.

Where's the lemon?

It has the highest vitamin content, is very easy to store, and is easy to carry. It was the best item for going to sea in ancient times.

"Deep in the sea, the wind currents are indeed very strong, especially when there is a storm, the five-masted warship will be bumpy.

The warships would make a gurgling sound, as if they were afraid that the ship would be blown apart, and I was very frightened on board the ship."

Gan Ning said.

"Xingba, there were more than twenty five-masted warships when we went out on the expedition. When we came back, how many five-masted warships were left?"

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, we lost five five-masted warships on this trip. We didn't lose much soldiers. Only more than 30 soldiers died."

Gan Ning said.

Qin Qi knew in her heart that despite what Gan Ning said was simple, the risks involved were actually shocking and difficult for outsiders to imagine.

brush!

Qin Qi stood up and opened the curtain on the wall, revealing the huge map of the world.

"Xingba, can you point out where you have been on the map?"

Qin Qi said.

Gan Ning walked to the map, picked up a thin wooden stick, pointed at the map and explained it so that everyone could have an intuitive understanding.

"Lord, we have sailed here. There are many islands nearby. The islands are not small. They are all uninhabited islands.

Our fleet carefully docked and scouted all the islands, but there were no human signs. We had no choice but to erect stone monuments on the islands.

I can’t do much else. However, I keep a log of the voyage and draw charts along the way based on the navigation conditions.”

Gan Ning pointed at the map and said.

oh!

That's called the Pearl Islands.

During this period, the indigenous people had not yet crossed the ocean and came to live on the Pearl Islands. This would take many years.

The Pearl Island did not originally belong to the beautiful country. It was snatched by the beautiful country at the end of the 19th century.

Originally there were only some indigenous people on the island, but later the agents of the beautiful country planned to make the island belong to the beautiful country.

"Xingba, this place is very important. If our navy builds a dock on Pearl Island,

It can be used as a supply base and an advance base. We are currently unable to send troops to the North American continent. When the country becomes stronger,

We still need to capture the North Rice Continent and make it the territory of the Central Plains Empire."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, we have built a simple dock on Pearl Island. Currently we can only supply fresh water, but food and other supplies cannot be supplied temporarily."

Gan Ning said.
