Chapter 571 Adventure

The Exploration Department is an old institution affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, from the initial exploration of minerals, such as gold and silver on Sado Island, to the current sea adventure. To put it bluntly, this is an institution serving Zhao Gou's will.

The Ocean Expedition Team was the first time that the Exploration Department sent it. A total of two batches were prepared, one along the Whale Sea and the other was Wang Cai and the others heading south. After reaching Temasek, they continued to go south, and then passed through the Xunta Strait controlled by Sanfoqi, and went south to south!

This is Wang Cai and the others’ mission!

The arrival of the expedition did not stir up any storm in Temasek.

There are only three lucky ships, two small and one middle, and this load capacity is too common. With the beginning of the Great Seal of the South Ocean of Zhao Song, more and more merchant ships from all over the southeast coast traveled to and from Temasek, and the number of them was increased linearly compared with Jingkang before.

Wang Cai and others had no intention of mobilizing the crowd, and the gongs and drums were loud and loud to let people know their purpose.

After silently taking some rest in Temasek, replenishing substances, fresh water, etc., he quietly started.

As the secretary of the expedition team, it is Wang Cai’s responsibility to record everything he sees with his naked eyes with his own notes.

But how to protect more people and how to better fulfill their responsibilities is the expedition team that will promote Zhang Bao’s task.

As Zhang Rong's consul, Zhang Bao could have had a brighter prospect in the army. However, he could not blame society. In a battle to clear out pirates, there were almost no wars and few soldiers were killed or injured. However, Zhang Bao's fingers fell off, so he could only retire.

Now that he is working in the expedition team, Zhang Bao has made full use of his talents.

As a professional former foreign naval officer, Zhang Bao learned how to cut people with a knife and command warships to fight. He also learned professional ocean navigation technology and corresponding astronomical astrology from the teachings.

Those teachings were specially obtained by the imperial court from maritime merchants. They were all people who went on long voyages many times and were the most professional sailors in the current time and space.

Zhang Bao has been practicing in the navy for several years, with rich practical experience and excellent theoretical knowledge. He was not afraid of manipulating a small fleet to travel between the vast oceans.

"The South of Jawa..."

Looking at the large blank space on the chart, Zhang Bao's eyes were about to be glared. New World, Feng Jue! This was what General Manager Lan said to him in person before leaving. This was the emperor's promise!

Even if it is just a lowest-level title, it can still be called to reach the top in one step!

What made Zhang Bao even more happy was that the emperor attached great importance to ocean exploration and even gave him titles to pay for it. In recent years, wars in the Song Dynasty have been going on, but it is not easy to win titles. Because the imperial court did not recognize such military achievements as Annan and Nanyang.

It is necessary to win such a war!

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Bao's brother Zhang Rong is now a rare navy general in the Song Dynasty, but he still has no titles.

Zhang Bao was convinced by Zhang Rong since he was a child, but in a long-distance adventure, he asked him to pass Zhang Rong and be awarded the title first. This gave him too much spiritual stimulation.

Since the emperor attaches so much importance to ocean exploration, this matter is definitely not a one-time transaction. He can bring a ship out for the first time, and he can bring a ship out for the second time. Just like leading troops to fight, he makes great contributions on the first expedition, and establishes new contributions on the second expedition. If one merit is added to another, he will definitely be promoted again if he adds a few times.

He is less than thirty years old now, and he can run for at least twenty years on this vast ocean. How many times can he go out for adventures?

Zhang Bao felt that he had seen a "shortcut" to achieve success and fame, and it was not guaranteed that Wang Cai and other noble children would come after seeing the benefits just like him.

The future prospects are really wonderful!

The huge joy made Zhang Bao completely leave the danger and the risks behind him.

When a real man wants to make achievements, how can he take risks without experiencing dangers?

Think about it, did the Emperor Zhao family in Bianjing City also bear huge risks and dangers to raise an army in Hebei?

Zhang Bao, who once again did a good job in psychological construction, walked onto the deck full of vitality.

The fleet has now crossed the Sunta Strait, and the scorching sun in the South Pacific shines on the vast sea.

According to the emperor's instructions, the expedition fleet that crossed the Xunta Strait must first sail eastward, follow the narrow and long Jawa Island to the east, until the easternmost section of Jawa Island, and then turn south.

Zhang Bao didn't know why, but he absolutely obeyed the emperor's instructions.

In fact, only Zhao Gou can help him. He still remembers the location of Australia, southeast of the Spice Islands, not the south of the Jaw Island. The specific location is to look at Luzon, which is located directly south of the Luzon Islands.

Zhao Gou, who could still remember these, gave such instructions. Just like him, he also gave inexplicable instructions to the expedition team heading north - pointing out the Kuril Islands and the Aleutian Islands.

I believe that the lifting officers of the two teams will be very surprised when they meet Australia and America.

There are only a few people in the Central Plains who know about the two ocean-going expedition teams. In fact, among the people who know, I am afraid that only Zhao Gou is concerned about them.

In the eyes of Zhao Bushi and others, it was a trivial matter that no one cared about.

At that time, would they confirm that one of them would not be good for the list of personnel in the Xianliang Temple?

The debate on the Martyrs' Temple has ended, and the time is set in the Jingkang year. It can be said that the emperor pulled down his father and elder brother's face and stepped on the ground.

Fortunately, the Supreme Emperor has passed away and the King of Wu has gone to Nanyang. Otherwise, the King of Wu would have no shame to go out to meet people.

But the Xianliang Temple is always arguing.

Not only because of Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, but because the word "name" is so tempting.

Since ancient times, many people have seen through glory and wealth, but none of them can break the word "name".

Many honest officials who have been honest all their lives are not greedy for money or power, and those who are greedy for life are famous for their lifetime.

Especially the Chinese people have filial piety first. Those who descendants (students) in court can be said to be shameless for the glory of their fathers and grandparents.

The famous officials before the Shenzong Dynasty were ranked, but after the Shenzong Dynasty, time suddenly narrowed to a hundred years. There are still many younger generations in the dynasty of the dynasty of the dynasty, and the ranking became difficult.

Only Zhao Gou can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

But he could not worry about the affairs of the outside court, but he could not avoid the affairs of the inner court.

The Xing family and Pan family were held in for more than two months, but finally couldn't hold it in.

He repeatedly spyed on Zhao Gou for news, because Zhao Gou had already asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the enthronement ceremony. The latter had already started preparing the crown prince's crown garment and matching clothing.

Isn't this just teasing these two people?

"Why are you anxious? I'll tell you naturally when it's time. It's too early!"
