The wind and rain on the sea are dark, the turbid waves are surging, the lights on the island are extinguished, and there is a silence.

In the conference hall, the generals sat around, the torches burned, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The chart is spread on the table in front of Di Lie. For the simple chart of this era, Di Lie doesn't need to ask for any special person to answer it, nor does he need professional tools such as parallel rulers, compass, segmented rules, triangle boards, etc., just by his own method.

The familiarity of coastal geography can be judged by using just a test.

The island where they are now located is only one hundred nautical miles away from Zhao Gou's hiding place marked on the chart!

A hundred miles away, there may be a hiding emperor who holds half of the country. Taking him means taking half of the country!

The Tianzhu Army already occupied large areas such as Hedong, Guanshan and other areas. After the Wushu Army was destroyed, the Jin army was no longer in sufficient force and would inevitably withdraw from the two rivers. The Tianzhu Army could take over Henan, Hebei, Jingdong, and Jingxi.

, the two Huaihe lands are divided into three parts of the world, and the Tianzhu army has already obtained one.

According to the normal direction, the greatest possibility is to draw the river with Jianyan. However, the appearance of this chart quietly changes the most likely result.

Capture the dragon and plan the country, and unify the world!

When they thought of this, all the generals present were dry and their hearts were beating faster, and they conveyed some tacit eyes to each other.

When Di Lie and other generals digested this shocking idea almost the same, they spoke slowly: "You are all from the grassroots or poor people. Everyone is real, unlike those civil servants who love them.

Playing with something that is so stupid. So, we don’t do that kind of veiling, vain and real test. I’ll give you a brief explanation here—a sentence. I just want to get rid of Zhao Gou!”

"Happy!" Zhang Rong slapped his thighs, stood up, and laughed, "This old Zhao family's country should be replaced! Military leader, I have nothing to say, you can do whatever you say! Zhao Jiu

?Hehe, when Zhao Qi sees me, he will bow."

Liang Ashui was slowing down half a beat, but his actions became more intense. He directly tore open his chest and slapped his thin chest with a bang: "I didn't say that, military commander, you order me, I'll take someone out to sea to give you Zhao Jiu.

Come on. Put his dragon robe on you - the ancestors of the Zhao family have done this, too."

You have to show your loyalty quickly. You must not lose your chain at critical moments. So when Zheng Wo saw Meng Wei, Long Xu, Yan Qilang and others, he immediately clapped his hands, diverted everyone's attention, and got up. Xiang Di Lie

After a solemn gift, he said loudly: "The military leader is named Lie, and he also uses fire weapons to spread all over the world. The new dynasty should be the virtue of fire. It is best to melt gold and inherit the torch."

Zheng Wo is worthy of being a scholar, and in a blink of an eye he has set the five elements of virtue for the new dynasty that does not exist yet. However, let alone the fire virtue is really appropriate.

Not to mention that this "fire" is intimately in line with Di Lie's name, it also contrasts with the invincible muskets, explosives, and thunderbolts of the Tianzhu Army. More importantly, it also conforms to the convention of the replacement of dynasties in previous dynasties: the Five Elements of the New Dynasty

Fortune, you must restrain the previous dynasty.

Who is the biggest opponent of the Tianzhu Army? Jin Kingdom! Fire overcomes Jin! (The Jin Kingdom first made Jin De, and then changed to Tu De to avoid the fire virtue of Song Dynasty)

Who will the Tianzhu Army deal with next? Zhao Gou! The five elements of Song Dynasty virtues were fire. Di Lie was granted the title of Prince of Hua Kingdom, and he could inherit the orthodox Song Dynasty and take over the fire virtues fortune of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Before this eight characters can be traced, it is related to virtue. Di Lie is ridiculous and crying. However, he has been in this era for so long that he has more or less learned about the importance of certain things in this era.

Always say that it is what literati of this era attaches most importance to. So, it is good, fire virtue, is good.

Zheng Wo sat down happily. His hand was much stronger than Zhang Rong and Liang Ashui's simple expression of loyalty. However, he didn't know that in Di Lie's heart, the so-called "five virtues that are related to the fate of the country" were always stronger.

", far less than Zhang Rong's words "happy" and Liang Ashui's actions of slapping his chest made him even more happy.

Meng Wei, Long Xu, and Yan Qilang looked at each other, nodded together, stood up together, bowed to Di Lie and said, "Military Master, do it!"

Di Lie looked around, his eyes touched the generals one by one, and he focused his head. He raised his hand and pulled out the field dagger and snatched it! He inserted it on a red dot in the sheepskin chart, and you can clearly see the four small characters above - Yushan Islands

.

...

The storm did not last long. The next day, the blue waves were scattered and clear as a mirror. If it weren't for personal experience, people would never have imagined that this gentle and calm sea would have such a violent and crazy side.

Such good sea conditions are a good time to go to sea. God-given opportunity cannot be missed.

After a day of intense and orderly preparation, thirty large and medium-sized warships officially set off on the seventh day of the second month.

Di Lie, Zhang Rong, Meng Wei, Yan Qilang, Liang Ashui and other generals all went to fight, with 3,000 combat soldiers, of which 2,000 were combat soldiers. The amount of ammunition carried was enough to fight another battle of Huang Tiandang; the food and fodder they carried,

Enough to support January.

One month! This is the pursuit time limit set by Di Lie for himself. Within one month, Zhao Gou must be caught!

The north wind blows vigorously, hundreds of sails are flying, the military flags are flying, and the drums and trumpets are roaring. Three thousand troops set out, target, Yushan Islands.

Yushan Islands, these four words were marked by Di Lie. Han Chang's nautical chart has pictures but no words, but Di Lie referred to various signs on the pictures and the correspondence with the continental shelf, and then with the coastal map in his mind.

After confirming it, it is confirmed that this should be the Yushan Islands in later generations.

Di Lie knew this place, which is about ten nautical miles away from Taizhou Bay, and is the base point of the later Chinese territorial waters. The entire island covers about five square kilometers, and it seems to be a good place for tourism, leisure and fishing. However, in this era, no one expected it.

Even if you are a king of a country, you will only be alone in the abyss and envy the fish and sit in an isolated island.

The only thing that knows the real purpose of this trip is to command generals of the above level. The news received by the soldiers was that the three thousand Jin troops went to sea to attack King Kang (Zhao Gou had already left the emperor's name on the request for the Jin Dynasty, claiming to be King Kang,

Before the Jin army withdrew from the north and north, they did not dare to restore their honorary title. The Song army was defeated and King Kang was captured. This time, the Tianbo Division carried out "humanitarian aid" to defeat the puppet troops who surrendered to the enemy, rescue King Kang, and take him away.

I sent it to Chang'an, and let their brothers, uncles, and nephews want to meet each other and share family life together.

There were more than 20 Jin soldiers under Han Chang's subordinates "testified", the call of the military leader, the sense of mission of rescuing the royal family, and the soldiers with "righteousness" were full of morale and advanced in the wind.

All the generals of Tianbo were born into heroes in the world, and I don’t know how many rivers and lakes have been through, but when they come to this boundless sea, they are helpless in how to identify the direction and sail correctly. This is really a new topic for the generals.

Only at this time did the generals discover the magic of the military leader - he only relied on the guidance of the naval chart, compass, and several local boatmen to continuously correct the direction and lead the fleet on the correct route.

Not only that, the military leader also constantly corrected the sea chart and outlined clear coastlines and the general locations of each island. The local boatmen were surprised when they saw it and said that the part of their hometown Mingzhou was very similar, and as for others, they

I don’t know, if the drawings of this chart are real, there will definitely be a high price for the merchants to buy them.

Compared with land, the biggest advantage of sea routes is direct. There is often a phenomenon of "running to the mountain and running to the black road route". In fact, the straight line distance is only a little, but it just turns around and makes you dizzy. Sea routes do not exist.

This problem, as long as the direction is correct and the route is normal, you can go straight or arc lines, saving a lot of time.

According to Di Lie's calculation, the distance from the destination is 100 nautical miles (about 370 miles). Because it was a downwind and there was no rest in the sailing, it was basically a day and night trip, and it could reach up to three days.

Everything went smoothly. On the ninth day of the second month, the Yushan Islands were in sight.

To confirm that, Di Lie also sent a warship to land in Taizhou, find a small fishing village near the coast, and invite a lot of experience to several old fishermen familiar with the distribution of local islands and ask them to identify them.

As expected, it was the Yushan Islands.

With a wave of the flag order, two reconnaissance ships broke out and headed towards the archipelago several miles away.

Di Lie used a scope to observe carefully, and his brows gradually tightened. Zhang Rong and his generals also used monocular telescopes to observe, but unfortunately their telescope magnification was too small and they could not see clearly.

One hour later, the two ships returned and brought back the last news: "...There are no one on the island, but there are traces of crowds of activities, including scattered rice and flour, worn military uniforms, broken ships, and

Many worn weapons.”

"I also brought this back." The head of the warship capital presented a broken flag to Di Lie.

Di Lie shook the flag and saw a big "general" embroidered on it. He nodded: "That's it. The Song army's general flag must at least lead the commander level of the first army, so that this general flag will be available.

We did have a large group of people stationed, but now we have left. Where are they going? This is what we will do next - find them, find them, and kill them!"

Thirty warships were divided into three formations, heading north, east and south respectively. Under the guidance of local fishermen, they searched for all islands within a radius of twenty nautical miles.

Three days passed and nothing was found.

On February 14th, Di Lie summoned all the generals to discuss. While listening to the generals' search results of the fleet, he used a red pen to put the sea areas and islands searched on the chart. After Di Lie put down his pen, he saw the generals.

A depressed face looked depressed and smiled and comforted, "Why do we need to do this? We have gained a lot in the past few days. We have learned about this sea area, become familiar with the sea conditions, trained soldiers, and especially eliminated so many impossible things... So,

The remaining small range will be possible.”

This is because the perspective of looking at the problem is different. What the generals see is loss, and what Di Lie sees is gain. Regardless of whether he can capture Zhao Gou or not, he trains the army and broadens his horizons, he will gain.

Liang Ashui muttered, "That's the case, but it's impossible to make any progress!"

Did Di Lie was also anxious, but he smiled and said, "Don't worry about him for now, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the belly is the biggest, serve the dishes."

At that moment, the head of the team presented a plate of seafood meals with a price. When everyone finally served a bowl of fragrant Jiangnan rice in front of them, Di Lie suddenly stopped moving his chopsticks and stared blankly at the rice in front of him.
Chapter completed!
