The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

After the court, Elizabeth waited for Yan Song in the study.

As soon as Yan Song came in, Elizabeth actually knelt down for him.

Yan Song was taken aback: "々Queen, don't you just kneel down at the slightest disagreement?"

"After the construction of Shanghai," Elizabeth said solemnly to Yan Song: "My king realized that I am as childish as a baby in front of you. I have decided to formally learn from you as a teacher."

"Haven't you already apprenticed to a teacher?" Yan Song couldn't laugh or cry.

"But the Queen knows." Elizabeth said coquettishly: "In Daming, the land of etiquette, you need to kneel and kowtow twice to apprentice, and my previous apprenticeship rituals don't count at all. Teacher, please accept me as an apprentice? What will the teacher say in the future? I will do whatever I want, and I will never disobey any order from the teacher."

"A female student who will never disobey the teacher's orders..."

Looking at the graceful queen under the lamp, Yan Song swallowed hard.

This is so... evocative.

Ahem, but I always like it.

Chapter 1533 Exploring North America, Bering Strait [9]

"Well." Yan Song looked at the world map and said with emotion: "The Xu Hai Fleet has set off for 2 months. I don't know if it is going smoothly or not."

Alisabis (Queen Harmony) worried: "As far as I know, even Spanish merchant ships that are familiar with the way to and from the New World, when they cross the Atlantic Ocean, two or three out of ten will sink in the turbulent waves. Xu Hai Although the number of fleets is large, they are not large, especially in winter when they cross the Bering Sea within the Arctic Circle, it is extremely dangerous."

The Xu Hai Fleet, which Yan Song talked about, encountered great difficulties at this time.

Although Yan Song provided the most detailed nautical chart at this time, although Yan Song provided the Japanese archipelago and supplies from Sakhalin Island, the Xu Hai Fleet still went extremely dangerously.

In the past two full months, Xu Hai commanded a huge Chinese fleet of 10 people and thousands of ships. They docked in Hakata, Hokkaido, and Vladivostok in Japan respectively. Then go north along Sakhalin Island.

In two months, they encountered countless storms. Although they tried not to go more than 100 nautical miles offshore along the coastline, more than 23700 ships sank in the stormy waves, and thousands of brothers died in shipwreck.

Fortunately, Xu Hai is worthy of being the king of Japanese pirates who has spent his whole life at sea. He has a very thorough understanding of the habits of the sea. Every time he can make arrangements in advance before the storm comes, he avoids deadly danger time and time again.

But the sea area he faces is becoming more and more unfamiliar, and the danger is also increasing.

Now, what he faced was a white ice field!

Bering Sea.

This is the most dangerous sea in the world.

In January, the Bering Sea is located within the Arctic Circle, with thousands of miles of floating ice, and the sea surface is almost frozen.

Xu Hai stood high on the observation post on the foremast of the flagship, staring into the distance, his eyes full of worry.

In the Arctic in winter, crossing the sea of ​​glaciers is definitely the most dangerous act of suicide.

But he had no choice.

The temperature here is so low that it can freeze people to death.

If you can't find a route as soon as possible, passing through the glacier here, this fleet of 10 people will be finished.

Xu Dong was wrapped up thickly, stomping his feet desperately, his face and eyebrows were frozen, his nose turned into ice balls, walked up to Xu Hai, and complained loudly: "Brother! My feet are going to freeze .Damn it, I saw a mouse on the deck and it was frozen into a popsicle. Only a ghost would come to such a ghost place!"

Xu Hai was speechless, and continued to stare at the distant sea with binoculars, searching for the route.

"Damn it!" Xu Dong continued to curse, "Brother, I think that Yan Song is lying to others, deliberately sending us to die. We have already lost so many brothers, and it was all because of him."

"Fart!" Xu Hai was furious, put down the binoculars and slapped Xu Dong on the face: "You forgot to swear to Mr. Yan Ge that you must find the New World?"

Xu Dong covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Brother, why did you hit me? Am I wrong?"

Xu Hai looked firmly into the distance and said, "I only know that there is no turning back when I open my bow. I also know that Daming has no place for me to stand on. Going back will only lead to death! We must find the New World, there is no other way. Method."

"Well said!" At some point, Wang Cuiqiao was already standing behind the two brothers, tears in her beautiful eyes.

Her face was extremely pale from the cold, and her body trembled slightly.Because he couldn't eat fresh vegetables at sea, he looked sallow, emaciated, and malnourished, but tremblingly said: "The head of the family said well. We have no retreat now, we can only move forward!"

"But we don't have anything to eat! (bddb)" Xu Dong said with a dejected look on his face, "It's been a full month since we left Vladivostok. Even though we had a lot of food at that time, we don't have anything to eat now."

"Also, the temperature in this ghost place is too low, and our sailors are going to suffer from frostbite." Xu Dong cried bitterly, "There is no need for strong winds and waves, just freezing, we can all be buried here!"

Xu Hai couldn't help but ponder.

The threat of food shortage has been hovering over the Chinese immigrant fleet.

In order for this fleet to have enough supplies, Yan Song has tried his best.

On the one hand, the number of supply ships equipped with this fleet is very large.There are more than 1000 ships, more than 300 are supply ships, and ordinary ships are also filled with food and fresh water.

On the other hand, Yan Song was also ingenious and dispatched veteran fishermen who were good at fishing to follow the fleet, catch fish anytime and anywhere along the way, and supplement the fleet with food.

Even so, no matter how economical the fleet is, one month after sailing away from Vladivostok, the fleet trapped in the ice and snow of the Bering Sea still ran out of food.

The cry of the child echoed on the sea.It was a child of a family member of the army.

But on this frozen continent, life is restricted, where can we find food?

Even if there may be fish under the sea, how to break through the thick glaciers and get fish?

Xu Hai was a little desperate.

Could it be that I, Xu Hai, and these [-] Chinese people, who followed my loyal subordinates, are all going to die here?
