Three days later, the Jiaozhou Navy of the Song Dynasty set sail with its dragon boat fleet loaded with food, fresh water, and various treasures, porcelain, and silk.
Zhao Huan once drew detailed images of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. He specifically described the storage methods for sweet potatoes. Corn can be dried and stored, but sweet potatoes must be kept in a dark, humid place. For this reason, the Water Conservancy Commissioner built a cellar-like structure on the dragon boat specifically for storing sweet potatoes.
The navy officers and soldiers are full of fighting spirit. After all, they are also curious about the outside world.
Zhao Huan regretted why he didn't learn more about navigation techniques. Otherwise, he would have been able to help more.
Tens of thousands of logistics personnel delivered the necessary equipment to the dragon boat, and Zhao Huan gave some instructions to Zhao Li and Pan Bufeng.
"The sea is full of unpredictable conditions, so be careful not to be impatient. If you encounter strong waves and strong winds, anchor along the coast and never venture out to sea. I look forward to your safe return."
Zhao Li nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will definitely fulfill our mission."
Zhao Huan and his companions bid farewell to the dragon boat, while Zhao Li commanded the navy to head towards Japan. They intended to pass through Japan, enter northeast Kievan Rus, and then reach North America through the Bering Strait.
The red cannons were first delivered to Han Shizhong's troops.
In Fenzhou, Zan'erqi, a general under Kublai Khan of the Mongol Empire, frequently sent troops to harass and clamor outside the city of Fenzhou.
"Song people, do you dare to come down and fight me?" Zhan Erqi shouted while riding his horse at the foot of the city.
Han Shizhong had just set up his red-coated cannon on the city wall when Zhan Erqi started yelling frantically below. Han Shizhong couldn't help but get angry: "Zhan Erqi, Song and Mongolia have signed an alliance, and you must leave immediately. Fenzhou City is Song territory, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
