After Gan Shi finished the ceremony, Liu Bei was still very attentive to ask Gan Shi what kind of sword skills he had just done and why there was no trace.

"My sword technique only focuses on its meaning, not its move. Xuande Gong fought on the battlefield. Don't you understand that this move is dead and that people live?"

Liu Bei couldn't help but exclaimed, and then Gan Shi said to everyone, "The sacrifice has been completed, it's time to go to sea."

I also ask you to repay the general. I must find Dongshengzhou to ask for immortal food for the Han Dynasty this time.

During these days of time, Liu Bei and others knew that the general wanted to go to Dongshengzhou not to follow Qin Shihuang's magic medicine, but to find the legendary immortal grain that could produce thousands of kilograms of grain per mu.

If it can really produce a thousand kilograms per mu, not to mention that the fleet of thousands of people has lost most of the losses, even if there is only the last person left, it will be worth it.

From Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty to the separatist rule of the princes today, it is ultimately a land issue, and the land issue is actually a food issue.

If everyone in the Han Dynasty could eat and wear warm clothes, then the Han Dynasty would really become a paradise on earth.

With the sound of drums and horns, warships and cargo ships loaded with baggage sailed away from the harbor.

Liu Bei, Guan Cheng and others watched these ships gradually disappear into the sea level, and they couldn't help but wish Gan Shi and others a safe return as soon as possible.

At this moment, they have no distinction between the royalists and the Red Star Sect. They only have one identity - the great men!

On the ocean-going ship, Xu Hong looked at the land that was gradually unable to see clearly, and his heart that had been beating violently also calmed down a little.

The scenery on the sea surface was fresh at first, but gradually it became boring.

He simply returned to his room and started writing a diary.

"On July 15, 3rd year of Xingping, Dahan

Today is the first day of the ocean fleet going to sea. The weather is clear and there are few clouds. The total number of ocean ships in our ocean this time is 48.

Fourteen of them are the latest ocean artillery warships, twelve are troop transport ships, and twenty-two are baggage ships.

The reason why there are only fourteen warships is that according to the judgment of the General and Chief Gan, we will not encounter any enemies during this trip.

Or, our only enemy is this sea.

Therefore, materials and manpower are more important.

Here, I think it is necessary to record in detail the main commanders and numbers of our trip to the sea.

This time, the entire fleet was from the commander-in-chief of the fleet and instructor, including me, to a total of 3,927 people.

This was what Commander Zheng said to us in person at the mobilization meeting.

Due to the large number of people, I can only record the main personnel for the time being.

The details are as follows:

Fleet Commander-in-Chief Zheng Ping

Garthy, general instructor of the fleet

Deputy Commander of the Fleet and Commander of the Fleet Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin

Pan Feng, the commander of the land battle battalion

Cavalry captain Lou Class

Feng Ru, captain of the engineer team

Medical Team Captain Chen Ming

Caravan Captain Zhou Ye

Yes, our fleet sailing on the sea also had cavalry. Although there were not many, only one hundred horses, two hundred horses were prepared and scattered on ten troop transport ships respectively.

In addition to horses, the fleet also has livestock such as chickens, ducks, dogs, and is said to have rare animals such as monkeys.

Some of these livestock are for food, while others are for understanding the boredom. The Taoist priest said that the journey on a long journey may be very boring, so we need to find something for everyone to do.

In fact, in addition to livestock, there are also plants in the fleet. Each ship has a field that can be closed for a ceiling, with various vegetables, onions, ginger and garlic planted on it.

The Taoist priest said that this was to allow the crew to eat some vegetables, but everyone felt that things were definitely not that simple. After all, there were actually dried vegetables in the goods, and they could be eaten even if they were soaked in hot water. There was no need to fill so much soil to waste the load.

Someone will definitely wonder why there is hot water on the boat. This is because we also have generators and some electrical appliances on the boat, but I am not very proficient in electrical science, as long as it can be used anyway.

It is worth mentioning that not all of the fleet are men, and there are women in the medical team and the engineer team.

The engineer team has women because although they are engineers, there are actually many craftsmen in the engineer team, including tailors.

At the beginning, many sergeants opposed carrying women in the fleet, thinking that it was so ominous. For example, Xu Fu, the former one, never returned because he brought the virgin.

But the Taoist priest said that this was the general's order, to verify whether a woman could also go far away. After all, it would be impossible for all men to be transformed into Dongshengzhou in the future.

Since it was the general's order, I think it was right.

On the first day of voyage, everything was peaceful, without storms, and no one was sick. I hope the entire voyage will be the same as today.

Xu Hong recorded it twelve miles outside Qingdao Port.”

Just like Xu Hong recorded, Gan Shi's fleet was not just a few sergeants and sailors, but also brought a large team of people from all walks of life, including craftsmen, doctors, civil servants, Taoists, etc.

Moreover, these people are not all old people in Hebei. For example, the caravan captain Zhou Ye, who is from Yizhou. He was originally responsible for selling goods for Cao Cao. After Cao Cao was defeated, he joined the Hebei army. Ma Qiang asked him to join the Ocean Fleet to prove the authenticity of the Ocean Fleet to all parties.

In short, although the size of this ocean-going fleet is far less than the size of more than 200 ships and more than 20,000 soldiers and craftsmen when Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty visited the West, it is already an unprecedentedly huge ocean-going expedition fleet.

They only have one goal!

Dongshengzhou, which was later called the American continent!

——Guangzong

"Ming Gong, the Ocean Fleet has officially set off."

Ma Qiang, who was standing at the head of Guangzong's city, nodded slightly.

Oceanwide has finally begun.

Many Chinese people in later generations complained about why Zheng He had voyages to the West, but he still lost the dividends of great navigation, believing that the ancients were not doing well.

In fact, this is right or wrong.

First of all, we must clarify one question, that is, what is the dividend of the great navigation.

In fact, the great navigation dividend is not the discovery of shipping channels between the East and the West. This channel existed as early as the Han Dynasty, but was operated separately by different countries.

The great navigation dividend actually refers to the two borderless places, America and Oceania.

It is precisely because of the discovery of these two unbordered lands that Europe has emerged from the melee and disputes, and the development of triangular trade and commodity economy is the dividend of great navigation.

Therefore, what Ma Qiang has to do is to take the lead and occupy these two continents first, and make a game for the Chinese and Western confrontation that will inevitably occur in the future.

On this day, Ma Qiang kept standing at the top of the city and looking towards the east. No one knew what Zhirui's general was thinking, and no one really understood the significance of this ocean to the Chinese people.
Chapter completed!
