Chapter 619

Jimo.

Warships covered the sea.

After Qin Mu left Zhang Juzheng and Yue Fei to supervise the state in Chang'an, he brought several women, as well as Li Er and Fang Xuanling, to Jimo.

The first Great Qin maritime legion!

Zheng He and Wang Yangming led their troops to welcome them.

This time, the Great Qin Emperor's imperial expedition was a great inspiration to all the soldiers.

On the surging and dangerous sea, the Emperor would fight side by side with them!

What they didn't know was that not only was there the Great Qin Emperor, but also the Great Tang Emperor.

"Is this the place where Xu Fu went out to sea back then?"

Qin Mu felt somewhat emotional.

Qin Shi Huang sent out Xu Fu, but it was only to search for immortal medicine, and he failed to conquer overseas lands for Qin, to the extent that it cultivated a Japan that became a thousand-year scourge for the Central Plains! This expedition was the first step in truly starting an overseas journey! The warships before them were not yet big enough or numerous enough.

Li Er looked at the harbor, where the white sails of the warships were like clouds.

He exclaimed.

"The big ships are mighty, connected in one piece, with a momentum more majestic than the river fleets! The maritime legion is truly spectacular!" Qin Mu smiled.

This Li Er was too ignorant; a maritime fleet, of course, had to be much larger in scale than a fleet on the rivers.

But this was still far from enough!

Qin Mu looked at Fang Xuanling.

"Minister Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling thought Qin Mu wanted him to praise the fleet a few times as well.

He opened his mouth and said.

"The Great Qin fleet is indeed spectacular. It's just that on the sea, the water connects to the sky; how is the fleet to determine its position?" This sentence hit the nail on the head.

This was the root cause of the commoners' fear of the sea!

Without a sea chart, one could not determine one's position; even with a compass in hand, one could only sail blindly.

However, what others didn't have, Qin Mu had!

Qin Mu had long since handed the sea charts and sextants to Zheng He.

His first maritime legion commander also had to be the world's number one navigator!

"Minister Fang is overthinking it; I have my own methods. Otherwise, did you think I came to the sea to die?"

Li Er and Fang Xuanling looked at each other.

The two of them had originally really felt fear for this voyage. They thought the possibility of dying at sea was over fifty percent!

However, hearing Qin Mu say this, it was clear he had been prepared for a long time.

Their hearts settled down slightly.

But at the same time, they had to sigh.

How did Qin Mu know so much? How could he have so many magical ideas?

It seemed that he could predict everything clearly in advance!
