Chapter 977: Keep moving forward and explore unknown waters
After spending a few days peacefully on the sea, Zhu Han and the crew's life, although monotonous, was also full of order and harmony. Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the deck, a day
Life begins quietly.
Zhu Han was accustomed to getting up early. He would stand alone on the deck for a while, staring at the gradually awakening sea in the distance, silently planning the sailing route and future plans in his heart. Then, he would step into the cabin and meet Mr. Wang, General Li and others.
Have breakfast together and discuss the sailing arrangements for the day and possible situations we may encounter.
"Your Majesty, today's weather looks good, suitable for sailing at full speed." Mr. Wang said while eating, his eyes revealed his confidence and expectation for sailing.
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the calm seas in the past few days have allowed us to fully rest. Next, we must seize this opportunity and strive to reach the next destination as soon as possible."
General Li added: "The general has stepped up patrols to ensure the safety of the surrounding sea areas. At the same time, the crew has also been arranged to take turns to rest and maintain physical strength in case of emergencies."
After the meal, Zhu Han would personally inspect all the equipment on the ship, from sail gear to artillery, from fresh water reserves to food supplies, and carefully check every item to ensure that everything was flawless. His rigor and meticulousness deeply impressed the crew and greatly impressed them.
Enhanced team cohesion.
In the afternoon, the sun became hot, and there was no one on the deck. Only the sea breeze blew gently, bringing a little bit of coolness.
At this time, Zhu Han would return to the cabin to deal with official documents or discuss various issues during the voyage with his staff.
The crew used this time for rest and entertainment. Some gathered together to play chess and chat, while others read books alone in the cabin below the deck, enjoying this rare quiet time.
In the evening, when the setting sun turns the sea into a golden color, Zhu Han will go on the deck again to enjoy the magnificent sea view with the crew.
He would talk to old sailors and listen to their legendary stories and experiences at sea. These stories not only gave Zhu Han a deeper understanding and awe of the ocean, but also established a deeper friendship between him and the crew.
.
At dinner time, the whole ship sat together and enjoyed simple but nutritious food.
At the dinner table, everyone was laughing and sharing their experiences and experiences of the day.
Zhu Han would encourage every crew member to express their opinions. Whether it was suggestions about sailing or trivial matters in life, he listened patiently and responded. This open and inclusive atmosphere made the crew members feel the warmth and belonging of home.
As night falls, the stars dot the deep sky, and the sea returns to calm.
At this time, Zhu Han will arrange for the crew to patrol at night to ensure the safety of the voyage. And he will return to the cabin to continue handling official duties or reading books to prepare for the next voyage.
In such daily life, the Ming fleet continues to move forward and explore unknown waters.
As night falls, the sea gradually returns to tranquility, with only the sound of paddles cutting through the water intertwined with the sound of distant waves, forming a melodious maritime movement.
Zhu Han stood on the deck, staring at the stars in the sky.
"Your Majesty, the night is already dark, you should rest." Mr. Wang walked to Zhu Han softly and said with concern.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and turned around, his eyes shining with determination and wisdom. "Mr. Wang, it's okay. I'm enjoying this moment of tranquility and thinking about the next sailing plan."
Mr. Wang nodded. He understood Zhu Han's sense of responsibility and responsibility, so he continued: "Your Majesty, I have some ideas to discuss with you about the next voyage."
"Oh? Tell me." Zhu Han turned around and stood side by side with Mr. Wang on the deck. The sea breeze gently blew their clothes, bringing a bit of coolness.
"Your Majesty, we are about to enter an unknown sea area, where many unknown risks and challenges may be hidden. I propose that we strengthen intelligence collection and understand the weather, currents and potential dangerous factors in the sea area in advance so that we can take action in time.
We will respond." Mr. Wang said seriously.
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "What Mr. Wang said is absolutely true. Intelligence work is crucial. We must ensure that we have a full understanding of the sea areas ahead in order to make correct decisions."
At this time, General Li also came over and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, I also have some ideas about navigation safety. I suggest strengthening night patrols and adding lookout posts to ensure that any emergencies can be detected and responded to in a timely manner.
"
Zhu Han nodded in approval: "General Li's proposal is very comprehensive. Navigation safety is always our top priority, and no detail can be ignored."
The three people continued to discuss the sailing plan on the deck, discussing every detail in depth from route selection to emergency measures. Their conversation was full of wisdom and tacit understanding, showing the strong leadership and teamwork of the Daming Fleet.
Collaboration ability.
"In addition, Mr. Wang, I would also like to propose strengthening the physical training and actual combat drills of the crew during the voyage." Zhu Han continued, "Facing unknown sea areas and challenges, we must maintain the best fighting condition to ensure that at critical moments
Able to respond quickly.”
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Physical training and actual combat drills can not only improve the combat effectiveness of the crew, but also enhance their self-confidence and teamwork ability."
General Lee also added: "I will personally supervise these trainings to ensure that every crew member can achieve the best condition."
As the discussion deepened, the three gradually reached a consensus. The night was late, and the sea breeze seemed to become gentler. Zhu Han, Mr. Wang and General Li ended the discussion and returned to the cabin to rest. Although they were physically exhausted, their
My heart is full of expectations and confidence for the future.
Early the next morning, the sun penetrated the mist and illuminated the sea, and the Ming Dynasty fleet set sail again. Zhu Han stood on the bow of the ship, staring at the vast sea ahead, filled with determination and courage, and moved forward fearlessly.
"All crew members obey orders!" Zhu Han's voice echoed on the deck, "We will continue to move forward, explore unknown waters, and spread the culture and friendship of Ming Dynasty. Let us go hand in hand to create glory!"
As Zhu Han's order was issued, the crew quickly took action. They adjusted the sails, checked the equipment, and prepared supplies. Everything seemed in order.
The Ming fleet left white waves on the sea and bravely moved forward towards the unknown front.
During the following voyage, Zhu Han worked closely with Mr. Wang and General Li to cope with various challenges and difficulties.
They not only strengthened intelligence collection and emergency preparedness, but also regularly organized crew members to conduct physical training and actual combat drills.
These efforts not only improve the overall combat effectiveness of the fleet, but also enhance the crew's self-confidence and team cohesion.
As time goes by, the Ming fleet gradually penetrates into unknown waters.
As time went by, the Ming fleet gradually sailed into wider and unknown waters.
Sometimes the sea is calm and the waves are sparkling, like a beautiful picture; sometimes there are strong winds and huge waves, and the waves are rough, testing the will and courage of every crew member.
Zhu Han stood on the deck, staring at the boundless sea in the distance, his heart full of curiosity and awe of the unknown world. He turned to Mr. Wang beside him and said: "Mr. Wang, we have been deep into the unknown sea for many days. We have no idea about this unknown world."
The understanding of the sea area is still limited. Next, we need to work more closely to jointly deal with the challenges that may arise."
Mr. Wang nodded slightly and replied solemnly: "What the prince said is absolutely true. This sea area is full of unknowns and dangers, and we must always remain vigilant. I have ordered people to strengthen meteorological observations and sea area research, hoping to predict and
Avoid risk.”
General Li also stepped forward at this time and said firmly: "Your Majesty, navigation safety is always our top priority. I have strengthened night patrols and lookouts to ensure that any potential threats can be detected and dealt with in time."
Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction, his eyes revealing his trust and appreciation for the two right-hand men: "With you here, I feel deeply reassured. However, we can't just rely on defense, we also need to take the initiative to explore the waters of this sea area.
secret."
When Mr. Wang heard this, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes: "What are your plans, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I want to send a capable team to drive a small boat deep into unknown waters to conduct reconnaissance. They must not only draw detailed charts, but also pay attention to whether there are new islands or countries, and whether
There are rare resources or unknown creatures.”
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement: "This is a great plan. Through reconnaissance, we can not only increase our understanding of this sea area, but also open up new paths for future navigation and trade."
General Li added: "Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead this reconnaissance team to ensure the successful completion of the mission."
Zhu Han smiled and patted General Li on the shoulder: "General Li is brave and courageous. I have full confidence in this reconnaissance mission. However, remember safety first and ensure the safety of all team members."
General Li handed over his hand and accepted the order: "The last general who accepts the order will definitely live up to the prince's trust."
Subsequently, Zhu Han, Mr. Wang and General Li continued to discuss the specific details of the reconnaissance mission, including the selection of team members, preparation of ships, planning of reconnaissance routes, etc.
After several days of intense preparations, the reconnaissance team was finally ready to go. The night before departure, Zhu Han summoned all the reconnaissance team members on the deck for final mobilization and instructions.
"Everyone," Zhu Han's voice echoed in the night, full of majesty and expectation, "you are about to embark on a journey full of unknowns and dangers. With your courage and wisdom, you will be able to successfully complete the reconnaissance mission."
The scout team members raised their hands and saluted, their eyes shining with firmness and determination: "I am willing to serve the prince and complete the mission to the death!"
Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction and continued: "This reconnaissance mission is not only an exploration of unknown waters, but also a test of the strength of our Ming fleet. You represent Ming and the honor of all our crew members.
and dignity. Therefore, it is important to proceed with caution to ensure a safe return.”
The scout team members once again echoed in unison: "I will obey the prince's teachings!"
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the sea, the reconnaissance team drove a carefully prepared boat and slowly sailed away from the fleet. Zhu Han, Mr. Wang and General Li stood on the side of the main ship
On the deck, watching them go away.
"May they have a safe journey." Zhu Han said softly, his eyes revealing concern and expectations for the reconnaissance team members.
Mr. Wang nodded in response: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, they will definitely live up to their expectations."
As the reconnaissance team left, the Daming fleet continued to sail slowly on the sea, waiting for the return of the reconnaissance team. Zhu Han stood on the deck, holding a telescope, looking into the distance from time to time, with both expectation and a bit of worry in his heart
.
A few days later, when the afterglow of the setting sun filled the sea, a small boat came through the waves. It was the reconnaissance team that had returned. Seeing this, Zhu Han quickly ordered to prepare for the reception, and at the same time, there was an indescribable excitement in his heart.
The boat gradually approached, and the reconnaissance team members had faces full of exhaustion but could not conceal their excitement. General Li jumped on the main ship first, walked quickly to Zhu Han, knelt down on one knee, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general is not lucky.
In disgrace, the reconnaissance mission has been successfully completed."
Zhu Han quickly stepped forward to help General Li and asked with concern: "General Li, thank you for your hard work. Please tell me what you discovered during this trip?"
General Li stood up, took out a roll of nautical charts from his arms, unfolded it in front of Zhu Han, pointed to one of the sea areas and said: "Your Majesty, please look, we have discovered an unknown archipelago in this sea area, and there are hidden things in the islands."
There are several islands, each with its own characteristics and rich products. More importantly, we found signs of human activities on the largest island, and it seems that there are indigenous people living there."
When Zhu Han heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Are there really aborigines? That's a real surprise. How are they doing? Are they friendly?"
General Li nodded and said: "Reporting to the prince, the aboriginal people showed great curiosity and kindness towards our Ming envoys. They call themselves Zufar people. They have lived on these islands for generations and make a living by fishing and hunting. Although their lives are simple but
It’s also harmonious.”
Mr. Wang interjected from the side: "Zufa'er people? This is the first time I have heard of this name. I wonder if they have the intention to associate with our Ming Dynasty?"
General Li continued: "According to the preliminary communication between the reconnaissance team and them, the Zufar people are full of curiosity about the outside world and are very willing to establish friendly relations with our Ming Dynasty. They also mentioned that their islands are rich in spices and rare woods, and hope to
Trade with us."
When Zhu Han heard this, he felt reassured and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This trip has indeed yielded a lot. The friendly attitude and rich products of the Zufar people are undoubtedly a great benefit to our Ming Dynasty. General Li,
You immediately arrange manpower to establish formal diplomatic ties with the Zufar people and explore the possibility of trade cooperation."
