Mr. Wang stood aside and said with a smile: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Although this trip is full of challenges, it is also full of rewards. The wisdom and courage of Ming Dynasty will definitely attract the attention of the world."
Amid the laughter and laughter of everyone, the Ming fleet continued to sail forward.
Zhu Han stood on the deck, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, his heart filled with infinite longing for the future. He turned around and said to the generals beside him: "Everyone, we are about to enter an unknown sea, where
There may be new opportunities and challenges hidden. We must always remain vigilant and at the same time welcome all possibilities with an open mind."
General Li bowed his hands in salute with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will go all out to protect the safety of the mission and explore the unknown."
Mr. Wang added from the side: "Your Majesty, in addition to being alert to potential dangers, we also need to pay attention to the islands or countries that may exist in this sea area, which may bring new trading partners and cultural exchange opportunities to our Ming Dynasty.
"
Zhu Han nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with wisdom: "What Mr. Wang said is absolutely true. Our trip is not only to show the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, but also to seek peaceful coexistence and common development with other countries. Everyone must maintain
Be humble and respectful, and treat others with courtesy.”
At this time, a young navigator hurriedly walked over, holding a latest chart and looking excited: "Your Majesty, according to the latest observation data, we found that there seems to be a huge coral reef hidden in the sea ahead, which may be hidden.
to undiscovered islands.”
When Zhu Han heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "Oh? An undiscovered island? This is indeed exciting news. Send the order, and the entire crew will be prepared. We will approach that sea area and conduct detailed exploration."
As the order was issued, the fleet quickly adjusted its course and headed towards the unknown sea area. The sea was rough, but the crew of the Daming fleet were all in high spirits and full of expectations.
Soon, the fleet finally approached the coral reefs. Zhu Han held a telescope and carefully observed the sea area ahead. Suddenly, he pointed at a blurry outline in the distance and said: "Look, there seems to be the outline of an island there. General Li, dispatch immediately
The boat went to explore."
General Li took the order and quickly organized a capable team to sail to the island in a small boat. Soon, they sent back exciting news: it was indeed an undiscovered island, and the island was inhabited by residents.
It is home to friendly indigenous people and rich in products.
Zhu Han was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately decided to visit the island. As the ship slowly docked, Zhu Han and his party set foot on this mysterious island with the warm welcome of the indigenous people. The island has picturesque scenery and the indigenous people wear colorful clothes.
Their costumes expressed their welcome to the Ming envoys in their unique way.
In the center of the island, Zhu Han had an in-depth conversation with the leader of the aboriginal people.
"Dear leader, our Ming envoy's visit this time aims to establish friendly relations with Guidao and seek common development." Zhu Han said respectfully.
The aboriginal leader smiled back and responded in less fluent Chinese: "We are deeply honored that the Ming Dynasty's envoy came from afar. Although our island is small, it is rich in products and is willing to share prosperity with the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "We in Daming are willing to carry out extensive cooperation with Guidao in trade, culture, technology and other aspects. At the same time, we also hope to bring some advanced knowledge and technology to Guidao to help the people of Guidao live a better life."
A better life.”
Hearing this, the aboriginal leader's eyes shone with gratitude: "We will bear in mind the generosity and friendship of the Ming Dynasty envoy. We are willing to work with the Ming Dynasty to create a better future."
With the deepening of cooperation, the flower of friendship between Ming Dynasty and this mysterious island quietly bloomed. Zhu Han stood on the heights of the island, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, and his heart was filled with emotion: "This voyage is not only
It has allowed us to discover new partners and opportunities, and it has also given us a deep understanding of the importance of peace and cooperation."
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Through this voyage, we not only demonstrated the majesty and wisdom of the Ming Dynasty, but also conveyed the message of peace and friendship. This will contribute to the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and more countries."
Communication lays a solid foundation.”
As the voyage progressed, the fleet led by Zhu Han continued to shuttle across the vast sea. Sometimes the sea surface was as calm as a mirror, and sometimes the waves were rough. One evening, the setting sun on the horizon was like blood, and the sea breeze seemed to carry a somewhat ominous omen.
At this moment, the sailors on the lookout suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, a ship in distress was found ahead! They seem to be sending out a distress signal!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by the sailor. On the sea in the distance, he saw a dilapidated wooden ship swaying in the huge waves. The sails had long been torn, and the deck was in a mess. Several obvious places were visible.
The impact marks showed the thrilling experience it had experienced. Several crew members were desperately waving the clothes in their hands and sending out weak distress signals.
"Prepare for rescue operations!" Zhu Han ordered decisively, with unquestionable majesty in his voice, "General Li, you immediately lead a rescue team and go to the rescue in a small boat. At the same time, notify everyone on board to be ready to receive the wounded.
."
General Li responded quickly, selected several strong sailors and medical officers, boarded the rescue boat together, and sailed towards the stricken ship against the turbulent waves. Zhu Han stayed on the main ship and paid close attention to the rescue operations through binoculars.
progress, silently praying in my heart that everything will go smoothly.
As the rescue boat gradually approached, the situation on the shipwrecked ship became clearer. The ship's hull was damaged in many places, and sea water continued to pour in. The crew's faces were pale, and their eyes were full of despair and helplessness. They clung to what was left on the ship.
He tried hard to maintain his balance on the ropes and railings, fearing that he would be swept away by the huge waves if he was not careful.
"Hold on! We are coming to save you!" General Lee shouted loudly, cheering up the crew on the small boat and also conveying a message of hope to the crew on the ship in distress.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the process of approaching the shipwrecked ship, the rescue team encountered unprecedented challenges. The waves tossed the small boat high and dropped again and again, as if they were about to be swallowed up.
.However, the team members relied on their excellent skills and firm will to finally approach the shipwrecked ship with difficulty.
"Quick! Secure the two ships with ropes and let the wounded come up first!" General Li directed the rescue operation while personally participating in the rescue work. They quickly threw the ropes to the distressed ship, and the crew members used all their strength to grasp the ropes.
One after another, they were pulled into the rescue boat.
During the tense and orderly rescue process, Zhu Han stood on the main ship and witnessed everything through the telescope. His heart was filled with admiration and gratitude for the rescue team members, and he was also grateful for the rescued crew members.
After some hard work, all the crew members who were in distress were finally safely transferred to the rescue boat. They were exhausted, but their eyes shone with joy and gratitude for the rest of their lives. General Li arranged for medical officers to immediately check their injuries and conduct preliminary tests.
treatment.
As the rescue boat slowly approached the main ship, Zhu Han personally went down to the deck to greet the surviving crew members. He held the hands of each rescued crew member tightly and expressed his care and condolences in the most sincere words.
"Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your persistence and courage." Zhu Han's voice was warm and powerful. "Please rest assured that we will do everything we can to ensure your safety and health."
The rescued crew members nodded their thanks with tears in their eyes. It was these envoys from the Ming Dynasty who gave them a second life.
After the rescue operation, Zhu Han ordered the important materials from the distressed ship to be moved to the main ship for subsequent processing. At the same time, he also arranged for someone to record the details of the rescue operation and prepare to report to the court after returning home.
As the rescued crew members were properly placed, the fleet continued to sail forward, but the atmosphere became extremely warm and united due to this unexpected rescue operation. As night fell, stars dotted the deep sky, and calm returned to the sea.
At dinner, Zhu Han specially invited several rescued crew members to dine together to show his respect and care for them.
"Thank you so much. Without you, we might really have perished." An old crew member choked and said, his eyes full of gratitude.
Zhu Han patted the back of his hand gently and responded gently: "At any time, life is the most precious. As voyagers, it is our duty to help each other. I hope this experience can be a positive change in your life."
An unforgettable memory.”
After the meal, Mr. Wang proposed to hold a small celebration ceremony for the rescue operation to commend all the crew members who participated in the rescue and wished the rescued crew members all the best in the future. The crew members responded one after another, and soon the deck was warmly decorated.
It is solemn, the candlelight is swaying, and the music is melodious.
As the night deepens, the sea breeze seems to become gentler, gently blowing through the sails, bringing with it a hint of coolness and a distant atmosphere. The crew members returned to their respective posts one after another and began night patrols and watches to ensure that the ship
safe navigation of the team.
Zhu Han did not immediately go back to the cabin to rest, but continued to wander on the deck, thinking about the significance of this voyage and the future direction.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you'd better go to bed early." Mr. Wang came over and reminded him softly. He could see that Zhu Han seemed to be in a heavy mood, and guessed that he was worried about future sailing plans or other matters.
Zhu Han nodded slightly, glanced at Mr. Wang gratefully, and said: "Mr. Wang, tonight's rescue operation touched me a lot. We are not only exploring the unknown, but also passing on the civilization and friendliness of the Ming Dynasty. I
I think that in future voyages, we should pay more attention to exchanges and cooperation with local residents to jointly promote peace and development."
When Mr. Wang heard this, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Our mission is not only to complete the tasks assigned by the court, but also to establish a good international image for Ming Dynasty and show the style and responsibility of a great country.
"
As the two walked and talked, the topic gradually extended from rescue operations to broader areas, including trade, cultural exchanges, technology dissemination, etc.
Finally, when Zhu Han returned to the cabin, it was already late at night. He lay on the bed, but could not fall asleep for a long time. In his mind, he kept replaying everything along the way, from the friendly exchanges when he first landed on Java Island to the encounter with pirates.
The heroic resistance at that time, and then the rescue operation tonight...
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on Zhu Han's desk, he had already stood up for a long time and was staring at the sea chart with his brows furrowed. The calm last night seemed to be only temporary, as the ocean weather
It's always elusive.
"My lord, have you been up all night?" Mr. Wang walked into the study carrying breakfast and asked with concern.
Zhu Han raised his head and smiled slightly, unable to hide the fatigue in his eyes: "Yes, the weather in this ocean is worrying. We are about to enter a storm-prone area, and we must be prepared in advance."
Mr. Wang put down his breakfast and walked to the chart to study with Zhu Han: "According to the latest weather report, there may be strong storms in the sea ahead. We must adjust our route to avoid possible dangerous areas."
Zhu Han nodded and traced a possible detour route on the chart with his finger: "Although this route will increase the voyage distance, it is relatively safe. Pass on the order and have all the crew members prepare for severe weather. In particular, strengthen the hull.
Check all equipment to make sure nothing goes wrong.”
While he was talking, a sailor hurried into the study with a nervous expression: "Your Majesty, a heavy fog suddenly appeared on the sea. The visibility is extremely low, which may affect the safety of navigation."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han's face darkened and he quickly stood up: "Heavy fog? This is indeed a trouble. Send an order to all ships to turn on the radar and sonar systems, maintain the lowest speed, and at the same time strengthen the lookout to ensure that there is no collision with other ships."
The sailor took the order and left, and the study fell into silence again. Zhu Han knew that in the face of the vagaries of the ocean, any negligence may lead to irreparable consequences.
Soon, heavy fog gradually enveloped the entire sea, and the surrounding area was completely white. Even the nearest ship could only vaguely see its outline. Zhu Han stood on the deck, holding a telescope, looking through the thick fog, trying to catch any possible danger signals.
.
"Your Majesty, it is extremely dangerous to sail in this weather. Should we consider temporarily anchoring and waiting for the fog to dissipate?" Mr. Wang stood aside and made a suggestion.
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No. We are pressed for time and there is no suitable anchorage nearby. We can only rely on advanced navigation equipment and the experience of the crew to move forward cautiously."
At this moment, a lookout suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, we found the outline of an unknown ship ahead, very close to it, please give us instructions!"
Zhu Han's heart tightened and he quickly took the telescope. Sure enough, he could vaguely see the outline of a ship in the thick fog, approaching quickly. He decisively ordered: "Retreat at full speed, turn on all warning lights and signals at the same time, and notify the other ship to pay attention and avoid it."
