"Mr. Hong... She is still a child, so I have to punish her. I will let these boats come here for her! I have all told these boats to come!" Luo Dacai saw Weng Ya, who was about the same age as his daughter, being tortured, and could no longer help him, so he pleaded with Hong Tao again. However, this time his voice was much louder and his tone was even more ruthless, not like pleading, or more like condemnation.

"Yes, yes, Hong Gangshou, we all want to bear it for her..." Luo Dacai spoke, and the maritime merchants on the deck also started to clamor, which was a bit of a urge to force the palace. They were kind-hearted, but sometimes kind-hearted would do bad things, and maybe more troublesome than bad intentions.

"You don't have the qualifications. When Luo Youde comes on my boat, you can't order any of my crew members. This is the rule! If there are outsiders in your shop, you can instruct your accountants, guys, are you willing? If you are happy, please tell me the name of the shop and I'll go ashore to try it!" Hong Tao looked at Luo Dacai with a slant and did not give him any face. No matter who he is, there is no good result. Chen Mingen comes the same. As long as he wants to set rules, there will be no exceptions.

"..." The maritime merchants did not expect Hong Tao to be so merciless. This was very different from their concept of dealing with people. However, the goods were loaded with ships and could not leave. They all stopped talking in disappointment. Luo Dacai was also said to have a big neck, but he could not refute it. Hong Tao was right.

"Everyone goes back to their own ships, and tell the boats by the way and leave quickly so as not to affect them in a while." Hong Tao did not intend to ease the atmosphere and directly issued an order to expel passengers. Except for the sea merchants whose cargo was on his ship, everyone else was sent off the boat by sailors and sent to other ships in small boats.

The fleet slowly left the anchorage two hours after the morning bell rang. This time, Hong Tao's six sailboats were divided into two parts. The Haibo and Zhenzhou opened the road about five nautical miles in front, and the Qiongzhou and Hong Yu were in the middle. Behind them were six Southern Song sailboats, and finally Hong Tao's flagship Guangzhou and the Quanzhou, which was moored shrimps. Since half of the captains were in custody, including Weng Ya, Hong Tao had to act as the temporary captain. He went to the stern to command in person, and there were two shadows standing beside him, one black and one white, one fat and one thin.

With the six Southern Song merchant ships in the team, the fleet sailed very slowly, with an average speed of less than 3 knots. Hong Tao had no choice. These six ships were already the most suitable for running far seas, not only were the good ships, but also were equipped with the best ship workers. The current speed is a concentrated reflection of the navigation level at this time. No way, it does not mean that there is no action. Hong Tao asked each ship in the escort fleet to send three intern officers to assist in the navigation on the Southern Song merchant ships. By the way, it also made a backup. If these merchant ships were forced to leave the fleet due to storms, they could still rely on the navigation skills and sextant of these intern officers to find a assembly point.

As for the issue of confidentiality, Hong Tao didn't worry about it. The trainees only had the route chart. What they needed to measure was only a few correction angles every day. The specific value Hong Tao had been marked on the route chart. They didn't need to calculate it. It was enough to measure it at a certain time interval. If you deviate from the route, you can choose to approach the route according to the measured angle difference. And even if the sextant was given to the Song Dynasty ship workers at this time for free, they would not use it, let alone the trigonometric function, and it was completely a waste.

Not only are they not afraid of leaking secrets. Hong Tao also hopes that these Southern Song marshals and crew members will inquire about this new navigation method. The more curious they are and believe in this new thing, the more useful their students will be. After they firmly control the route from the coast of the Song Dynasty to the Arabian Sea, these Southern Song merchants can gradually escape from their protection. They come to the ocean trade themselves, and at that time they can only hire their students to be navigators, or take risks with their lives. Their thoughts and ideas will be slowly instilled into these brave, pioneering and rebellious maritime merchants in the Southern Song society through their students. Once they gain enough benefits from the ocean trade, more Song people will join the ranks of maritime merchants.

At that time, as long as you run on the ocean-going sea boat, you will have your own voice, and you not only have to ignore it. You also have to listen carefully, because these navigators are related to your own life. These maritime merchants are like participating in a training class for many years. If you don’t succeed twice at one time, if you don’t succeed three times twice, if you don’t succeed ten times or a hundred times, Hong Tao doesn’t believe that they will remain indifferent. Sooner or later, someone will take another step forward. That’s the season for your own harvest.

With the assistance of trainee officers stationed in each ship, although the speed of the ship could not be much increased, the entire fleet could finally maintain a basically complete formation through the flag and light signals. The two bird boats that ran slightly faster would not run around, and the remaining four big-bellied blessed boats did not have to rush to the road. Everyone should go to a fixed speed. Even if it was slower, as long as they maintained a stable course, there would always be the moment they could reach their destination.

"General, you should release your captain at this time and appease her. This is a skill of controlling people." Hong Tao has different names in front of different people, such as the crew called him Captain, Luo Dacai called him General Hong, Matini called him Lord or Master, and Wen Nan called him General. Some of them were called by Hong Tao who made a spoof and deliberately forced others to call him, while others called him actively.

"I don't have to be so troublesome, I'm not that stingy, I'm not that stingy, I'll give them a date, I'll give them the future! You don't understand, we have a generation gap, and you may understand it in the future. Let's talk about the relationship between the countries in Nanfan and the Song Dynasty. Let's talk about Chameng first. Does it have a vassal relationship with the Song Dynasty?" Hong Tao was not interested in Wennan's primary and thick black learning. People's playing games are easily addicted to people's play games, and then they get obsessed with them, and eventually they can even play in themselves. So it's best not to try this thing, and they are not doing this material. People play games with talents, without their natural personality advantages, and they can't play at the level of masters no matter how hard they work the day after tomorrow.

"The fifteen countries in Chameng are all countries that the court pays tribute." Wen Nan didn't quite understand what Hong Tao asked Chameng, but he still gave a definite answer. His answer was very authoritative, and he was a diplomat of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Oh, then I'll be polite." Hong Tao was very unhappy. Since Champa and other vassal states all paid tribute to the Southern Song court, it would be better not to use force. Not using force means spending money. Even if you can get something for nothing, you might be able to make a fortune. Now it's just that, it's not certain whether others sell it or not, and no one will be happy. Then what Hong Tao plans to buy in Champa? Wen Nan also asked this.

"Buy land! Build a warehouse near the dock to facilitate supply of Dasong sea boats. They can't run too far in one breath. I'm sending the Buddha to the west. Is this bodyguard good enough?" Hong Tao was unhappy, so he said it with a thorn.

"What if it wasn't a country that paid tribute?" Wen Nan felt that Hong Tao had a lot of content, but he couldn't figure out what these contents were, so he asked again.

"Isn't it a country that pays tribute? Is this country of Gorofusha the country that pays tribute by the court?" Hong Tao turned his eyes and pointed at the location of Malacca Port on the chart.

"This is the country of Saliva, also known as the Three Buddhas, and it is unparalleled." Wen Nan lay on Hong Tao's chart and looked carefully. He easily recognized the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra Island, and said the correct name of the country. On the ship these days, Hong Tao did not avoid him and Matini's sneak glance at his chart from time to time. It is estimated that they had seen it many times, but they just pretended to be like they had just seen it in front of him.

"Sir, this country is fighting!" As soon as Wen Nan finished speaking, Matini, who was standing beside him, pointed at the Indian Peninsula with a fat finger.

"War? With the country here?" Hong Tao immediately became excited when he heard that there was a place to fight. If the whole world was peaceful, he would not be easy to start, because if a big move would attract the attention of the surrounding countries, just like a bad child suddenly appeared in a group of good children, which was too eye-catching. But if these children were not good, then he would be inconspicuous if he tossed and tossed. The simple and effective method of pulling one faction and fighting one faction can only be used in countries and regions with disputes in interests. Generally speaking, every country has people who sell national interests to foreigners for personal gain. Hong Tao is not sure whether the king of Malacca Port is such a person. But he knew that if he wanted him to be him, he had to be, and he could only be eliminated. Another person would be the king!

"Yes, sir, your knowledge is like the stars in the sky. No matter what I say, you can understand it immediately more clearly than anyone else..." McTini basically followed each sentence with admiration for Hong Tao, whether it is sincere or not, it is said incredibly sincere. People who often pray are very skilled in playing this game. For example, Carl, although the prayer methods are different, they have the same effect.

"Is this here? Zhuluo Kingdom? This is a vulgar name, pigs! Who is the best of them?" Hong Tao followed Matini's finger and understood. Just above Ceylon, there was another country called Zhuluo Kingdom.

"The Juluo Kingdom is more powerful. It has occupied many countries west of Sanfoqi. We have also helped the Juluo Kingdom transport soldiers." Matini pointed at the west side of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra with his fat fingers, indicating that these places might have been occupied by the Juluo Kingdom.
