After hearing the report from his sentry, Yuan Jin didn't say anything and went directly to see Yang Zhen.

That means that his own thoughts are the same as those of the sentinel.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen nodded first, then turned to look at Yuan Jin and said: "I have walked through the lands in western Liaoning, eastern Liaoning and southern Liaoning before!

"Although I am not familiar with every sea area and coast here, I don't remember in my mind that there are any giant islands on the sea near the coast between Gaizhou and Fuzhou! Brother Yuan, you are a senior navy officer for many years.

Are there any islands in this sea in my memory?!"

While Yang Zhen was speaking, he calculated the time and found that it was around nine o'clock that day. Although the fog was still heavy and the sky was gloomy, the people standing on the bow of the boat could still see each other's faces clearly.

After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Jin and saw that he was also thinking and reminiscing. Although he stopped speaking, he took out the previous map from his arms and looked at what he had learned based on future generations near the coastline between Gaizhou and Fuzhou.

Remember the annotations made.

Based on the direction, distance and time of sailing, he could roughly determine his current location. If he had not lost his way at sea, they would have been in the waters south of Bayuquan in later generations.

Yang Zhen looked carefully at the map he had marked in great detail, but in the end he could not see any markings on the islands in this sea area.

This situation made his heart skip a beat again.

On the one hand, he was worried that he had lost his way and missed the planned landing place. On the other hand, he also hoped that he had not missed it, but that the changes in the coast over more than three hundred years had turned the vast sea in the late Ming Dynasty into the mulberry fields of later generations.

.

Just when Yang Zhen was struggling in his heart and didn't know what to do, Yuan Jin finally spoke.

"If we didn't take the wrong route, our location at this time should be south of Gaizhou Bay and north of Fuzhou Bay! So this can't be Changxing Island!

"For the same reason, this place cannot be Pig Island, Snake Island, Ant Island, or Sea Cat Island in Fuzhou Bay! If my guess is correct, then this place is most likely Rabbit Island!"

After listening to Yuan Jin's words, Yang Zhen was filled with doubts. He had heard of the Pig Island and Snake Island mentioned in Yuan Jin's words just now, but he had never heard of Rabbit Island or Rabbit Island!

So, after listening to Yuan Jin's words, he once again raised the only telescope in Yuan Jin's fleet to look at the distant shore, but he saw that the coast stretched far from west to east.

At the end of the west side, you can vaguely see the sea, but to the east are the rolling mountains and forests that appear and disappear. In the thick fog, you can't see the end at all.

"Brother Yuan! You said this is Rabbit Island, but I have never heard of the name Rabbit Island! Moreover, the Rabbit Island you mentioned does not look like an island now.

ah!"

Yuan Jin was a pirate and had served in the Denglai Navy, Dongjiang Navy and Juehua Island Navy for many years. It stands to reason that the terrain of the Bohai Sea or Liaodong Bay is definitely better than [Biquge www.biqugew.me]

Yang Zhen himself is much more familiar with it.

However, as a time traveler now, Yang Zhen still believes more in his memories from later generations, and at least wants to corroborate the ancients' understanding of the terrain of this sea area with his own memories from later generations.

However, what Yang Zhen didn't expect was that just as he raised his question, he heard Yuan Jin laugh and say very confidently:

"Brother! Who said that Tu'er Island must be an island!? Tu'er Island is not an island! In other words, Tu'er Island is actually a peninsula! It is connected to the coast of Gaizhou Bay!

"Every day at high tide, Rabbit Island is disconnected from the coast and becomes an isolated island in the sea. But at low tide, it is connected to the coast!"

"ah?!--"

When Yang Zhen heard what Yuan Jin said, his mind suddenly thought of a place in his memory like lightning. He screamed out in surprise and joy, and then said:

"That's it! Brother Yuan! Is the Rabbit Island you are talking about also called Fairy Island!? I have never heard of Rabbit Island, but I have heard before that there is a island on this coast.

The fairy island you mentioned is not the island with the same situation!"

"This - I don't know very well! After the Denglai Navy was dispersed, we moved around, sometimes in Dongjiang Town, sometimes in Lushunkou. Although we were familiar with the conditions on the islands on both sides of the coast, we never went ashore deep into the land.

!

"So the people on the shore, especially the people in Gaizhou, don't know what the name of Tu'er Island is! But in our naval camp, from Denglai to Dongjiang and now, it has always been

I have never heard that there is a fairy island near this sea area!"

Although Yuan Jin said this, it could not dispel Yang Zhen's excitement.

Because the situation on the so-called Rabbit Island that he had just heard Yang Zhen introduce was almost the same as the situation on the so-called Immortal Island that he had visited in later generations.

Immortal Island is said to be an island, but in fact it is not an island, but just a long and narrow peninsula protruding into the sea.

Such an island can at best be called a "land-connected island", that is, an island or peninsula connected to the mainland through a narrow land bridge that will be submerged at high tide.

Moreover, after more than three hundred years of tremendous changes, it is just the name of a small island. Isn’t it just a change?

Yang Zhen finally searched the depths of his memory for a place that matched the terrain of Rabbit Island mentioned by Yuan Jin, and his tense heart immediately relaxed.

It was also at this time that the accompanying Songshan general Lu Pinqi, the Shahekou garrison Zhang Chen, and the advance battalion guerrilla Li Lu also came to Yang Zhen and Yuan Jin's boat.

Several people met, discussed, and decided to act safely. They would first wait here for dawn, for the clouds to clear, and for the fog to disperse. At that time, they would send a team of people to the shore in a small boat, climb the cliff, and carefully explore the situation on the shore.

Decide the direction of action.

Anyway, the boat of Yang Zhen and Yuan Jin has been stranded on this shoal, and the tide is receding rapidly. Their boat cannot move at all, and for a while, they can't move even if they want to.

Everyone decided on the next strategy and waited quietly on the bow deck for the sun to rise and the fog to clear.

During this period, Yuan Jin ordered his men to prepare simple food, such as salted dried fish, dry and hard noodles, and a bowl of pickled cabbage soup with no visible ingredients, so that everyone could enjoy it.

While talking on the deck, they had breakfast.

After a simple breakfast, the fog dissipated a lot and the visibility was much better, but the weather was still gloomy and there was no sign of the sun coming out.

Everyone had been waiting for a long time, presumably it was already Chen time. When they saw this situation, they didn't say anything, but their expressions could not conceal their disappointment.

Yang Zhen also shook his head and sighed, and said to everyone: "We can't leave now anyway. Let's go back to the ship, restrain our subordinates, and wait and see! We have been traveling day and night these past few days, and the brothers are all tired. Now, taking advantage of the weather,

It’s also a good time to take a break!”

As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, he heard Zhang Chen say: "Sir! Otherwise, I will take a team of people ashore in a small boat and take a look at the terrain on the shore first!

"Whether this place in front of us is the Rabbit Island mentioned by General Yuan or the Immortal Island in your memory, if it is suitable for setting up camp, we will go ashore and set up camp! If we don't go ashore, don't step on the ground, and let the brothers rest, they will still rest.

not good!"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, everyone else nodded with concern, then looked up at Yang Zhen, waiting for Yang Zhen's decision.

"Okay! It's time to go ashore and have a look! Let's do it! I'll go with you! I also want to see if this Rabbit Island is the Fairy Island I've heard about!

"If it is, then there is really no place to go without, and it takes no effort to get here! We don't have to leave! This time, we will set up camp here!"

Yang Zhen's reasons for disembarking from the ship and participating in reconnaissance were so sufficient that no one could refute them.

Even Li Lu, who was most worried about Yang Zhen's safety, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
