Set Off, into the Starry Ocean

Bright skies and a cool breeze.

A month later, the preparations for the voyage had been completed. 4th month, 5th day, many ships were in the Beihai Harbor waters, while numerous delivery workers moved items about.

The main force of the voyage squadron came from Pei Donglai and Yanhuo Yaonie, who each led one squadron.

The only difference was that Cai Mao would stay behind to train the Yashan Squadron. The Yashan Squadron's current three divisions were all moved under the Beihai Bay Squadron.

With that, the Beihai Squadron became the first squadron under the Nanyang Navy to reach the full member count. Weirdly, even though it was fully formed, it still lacked a fleet admiral.

The navy generals that Zheng He had recruited were basically all chief generals and majors. As for fleet generals, they lacked the skill to take up the role. Even Cai Mao, such a general who had so many contributions, was still not good enough.
