Zhao Yu was still full of doubts after listening to Liu Zhu's analysis, and felt that there were some things that were not clear, if the pirates were discovered by the officers and soldiers, the first thing they thought of should be to run, not to resist, or even to start a war with the officers and soldiers, unless they didn't want to mix in this world. In addition www.biquge.info the golden juice cannon has always been the secret weapon of the Yuan army, how could it easily fall into the hands of pirates.

The answer to this analysis is that those merchant ships are not merchant ships at all, and even pirates are fake enemy soldiers. It is likely that they came to the coast of Qiongzhou to reconnoiter the coastal defense of Qiongzhou, and their first reaction after the encounter was of course to resist, especially when the Song army wanted to board the ship for inspection; The other may be the last thing Zhao Yu wants to see - smuggling.

"Liu Dutong, can the sentinel ship report find any difference between the current and the past?" Although Zhao Hao was suspicious, he still asked with luck.

"Your Majesty, according to the report of the sentinel ship, nothing unusual has been found." Liu Zhu shook his head, but after thinking about it, he said, "Oh, they said that this year, just after the rainy season, there are more merchant ships, and patrols often encounter merchant ships passing through the strait, even at night. ”

"Do they cross the border in groups, or do they cross the border in a single boat?" Zhao Hao asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, if there are more than five ships passing by, as a rule, the navy will intercept and inspect them, and if they are close to the coast, they will drive them away, so as to prevent enemy troops or pirates from attacking and harassing coastal villages and towns. Therefore, there are three or two transit vessels at most. Yoo so replied.

"You immediately take all the sentinel ship logs from the end of October to the present, and immediately count how many merchant ships have transited!" Zhao Yu frowned and said. At the beginning of the establishment of the navy, he required that every ship going to sea must keep a record, including the time of departure, route, weather, mission and the number of crew on board, weapons and food reserves and consumption, etc., of course, the situation found during the voyage should also be recorded.

Zhao Yu asked that this be done to facilitate the statistics of the attendance rate of the ship, and to find out the cause if it occurs, and it is also the basis for the investigation of the sea state and the maintenance of the ship. The statistics of the sentinel ship should be more detailed, and there should be a detailed record of what they saw on the way, so that they can monitor when the passing ships enter the strait and when they sail out, which can be regarded as big data research in this era.

"Your Majesty, because this involves two naval armies, I'm afraid I won't be able to collect them all for a while!" Yoo so was a little puzzled by the little emperor's sudden request for these things, but he still asked people to do it, and explained.

"I know, how many are counted first. The book was sent to the Changhua Water Camp as soon as it was done, and the daytime, nighttime, and daily passing volume had to be calculated separately! Zhao Yu nodded and admonished.

"Yes, the subordinates will handle it immediately!" Liu Zhu immediately called Dong Yicheng, the commander of the Haikou Water Battalion, to order him to gather people to do it immediately, and at the same time sent a message to the Changhua Water Army in time after completing the handling.

"Liu Dutong, I still feel that I am not sure, you immediately order the Chengmai Navy to send a fleet of heavy warships to maneuver in the direction of Leizhou, and at the same time order the Destroyer Army to cruise nearby, and immediately reinforce when the search fleet finds the enemy!" Zhao Hao thought about it and still felt that his judgment was correct, this should be the enemy's organized 'smuggling' behavior, secretly gathering troops, so he ordered again.

"Your Majesty is too worried, now the water battalions have sent more than 50 medium-sized warships, plus the patrol sentry ships have nearly 100 warships at sea, there is no problem to deal with those three merchant ships!" Yoo so said with a smile.

"Liu Dutong, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, don't you think it's a little strange for a large number of merchant ships to and fro in the strait at this time?" Zhao Hao twisted his face and asked.

"Oh...... The subordinates didn't think about it! "The Qiongzhou Strait is an important trade route, and it is normal for merchant ships to come and go, and Liu Zhu was unprepared for this question, so he could only answer honestly.

"You think that now that the rainy season has just passed, and it is not the season when the trade winds have arrived, the merchant ships should trade in the merchant ports of Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and Hangzhou, and will leave the port in large numbers and go through the strait to trade in the West in the spring of next year. And isn't it strange that now merchant ships pass through the strait day and night? Zhao Yu said what he thought in his heart.

"Your Majesty is worried that the enemy warships are disguised as merchant ships and are secretly gathering troops to prepare to attack Qiong!" Liu Zhu understood now and said in surprise.

"Everything was speculation until I found out, and I didn't dare to confirm. However, the warships we sent are all warships under 1,000 stones, and the sentinel ships are only 500 stones, if the enemy finds out that they are rounded up, they will inevitably send a large number of warships to support, and we will not be able to suffer losses! Zhao Yu tapped a few times and said.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and his subordinates immediately ordered Liu Wenjun to personally lead the warships out to sea and receive the ships!" Liu Zhu was in a cold sweat when he heard this, because he was searching for and attacking his merchant ships, and the ships sent were all small and medium-sized warships with fast speeds, and due to the limitation of tonnage, the firepower allocation was naturally weak, and he also adopted an evacuation formation, so if he encountered the enemy's fleet, he would definitely suffer a big loss. He immediately ordered people to fly pigeons and pass the message, ordering the two armies to quickly assemble and set sail, and gave Liu Wenjun the right to deal with emergencies as appropriate......

Everything was arranged, and the two sentinel ships that had searched eastward returned home reporting that no enemy had been found. The sentinel ships all carried carrier pigeons, which would be released in case of emergency, but there was no news from the other warships, so it was impossible to make further judgments, so Zhao Yu decided to take advantage of his free time to see the wounded officers and soldiers first. Because Haikoupu is not only stationed with more than 20,000 naval troops, but also the garrison of the rear army, there is a medical hospital dedicated to the medical treatment of the personnel of the garrison and nearby military units.

The best conditions here are not in the Totong Prefecture, but in the medical center, so it is not difficult to find. Zhao Yu didn't like to hug from front to back, so he was only accompanied by Wu Shiying, the deputy general of the Haikou Navy Army, and led a few guards to go. When the hospital supervisor of Haikou Medical Institute heard that His Majesty was coming, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately came out to greet him, this person was not a living person, it was Jiang Hong, one of the three 'interns' led by Hao Yuntong on the epidemic ship back then. Although he suffered a little sin back then, it is time to run now, and he has become a six-grade official in three years, and it will take at least ten years to get to this point if he follows the step-by-step process.

Jiang Hong first gave a briefing on the treatment of the officers and men of the sentry ship that had been attacked, and at that time a total of 41 people had been sent in, seven of whom had died, and were now buried awaiting the arrival of their families. Ten others were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured, because they were injured by trebuchets, so most of them were burns and bone injuries, and after treatment, they have been stabilized, there is no danger to life, and they will not be left with disabilities after recovery, and they can still continue to serve.

Zhao Hao entered the ward, which was clean and tidy, spacious and bright, well ventilated, and the conditions were very good. He waved his hand and ordered people not to disturb and quietly retreated, visited those who were slightly injured, and after calming them down, he asked about the situation of the attack at that time, and then asked the medical officer in charge to take care of him, and only after doing his best to treat them did his best to retreat.

In the past, it was very easy for Jiang Hong to see His Majesty in the same house, but now it is difficult, of course, he is not willing to give up the opportunity to ask His Majesty, a 'medical master', for advice, and strongly invites him to visit and guide. To be honest, the last time Zhao Yu came here, the medical hospital had not yet been built, and in fact, it was the first time he came, so he took a look at the inspection work by the way. According to Jiang Hong's briefing, the Haikou Pushui Military Medical Hospital now has more than 100 medical officers, more than 400 nurses and miscellaneous servants, 600 permanent beds, and can accept 2,000 wounded and sick people in wartime.

"Hehe, we don't have to watch those wounded officers and soldiers die helplessly in the future!" After the visit, Zhao Hao smiled with emotion. In the first few days of his arrival in this world, he saw not only the merciless killing, but also the helplessness of the many wounded. There were many wounded on the way to the flight, and once a soldier was injured and unable to keep up with the group, he had to resign himself to fate, and no one in the marching brigade would stop to help the incapacitated wounded, even if they had just been fighting side by side.

Of course, Zhao Yu also knew that this could not be blamed on their lack of friendship, because no one could save the severe wounds, and there was no means of transportation to transport so many wounded back to the rear. As for the Song Army, in fact, the treatment system of the army in this era was almost non-existent, and there was no battlefield ambulance service organization. With only a limited number of Chinese medicine practitioners treating the wounded and not skilled in surgery, they are powerless in the face of thousands of casualties.

Once a soldier is injured, the general who 'loves the soldier like a son' will also give some money to let the wounded soldier seek treatment by himself, which has become a completely personal private matter. Wherever a soldier is wounded, he is often left in place, and even if he escapes the unbearable starvation, he will be killed by the harsh climate and the torture of disease. If a wounded person is lucky enough to find shelter from the elements, or if a companion takes him to relative safety, it often only delays death, because there is no one to heal him.

"This is all thanks to Your Majesty, so that the officers and soldiers in the army can be healed at any time!" Jiang Honggong arched his hand and said. He is not only the veteran of the medical institution of the Shuaifu, but also the executor, and he has seen the medical treatment in the army being improved and developed little by little.

At that time, there were only four half-hung doctors in the Shuai Mansion, including Jiang Hong, but the little emperor began to recruit doctors with a lot of money at the same time as he built the palace, and began to establish medical institutions and systems from prohibiting open defecation. After the army captured Guangzhou, they recruited doctors and purchased medicines, and immediately began to improve the organization, train personnel, and make medicines. The little emperor also unreservedly taught them the first aid and war wound treatment methods he knew, and under his personal leadership, he established a new medical institution in only half a year without sparing money, forming the current multi-level division of labor system:

In addition to being in charge of the administrative affairs of the entire medical system, the first-level military general hospital is also responsible for the medical business work of the military hospital, popularizing medical and health knowledge, training doctors, guiding the work of the medical institutions at the next level, and is responsible for all the logistics work of the general hospital and the medical equipment support of each branch hospital. At present, it has a medical college and a pharmaceutical factory, and there is also a military hospital directly under it, which is used to treat critical and difficult diseases.

The second level is the military branch hospitals, which are under the dual jurisdiction of the military department and the Tai Hospital, and are mainly used to provide general treatment, special treatment and surgical operations to the wounded, as well as rehabilitation care before returning to the army; The third level is to set up medical warfare in each general, which is generally conducted in a fixed medical facility, providing life-saving, simple surgical and hospitalization services, and training medical soldiers at the grassroots level.

The third level is the medical team set up at the battalion level, which is under the jurisdiction of the baggage brigade of each army, and they are responsible for the simple medical treatment of the officers and men of the battalion under their command on weekdays, and participate in the front-line ambulance. At the fourth level, the medical work is actually undertaken by soldiers who have undergone short-term training, and they can only carry out emergency treatment for simple injuries and diseases, and the main work in peacetime is to popularize health and first aid knowledge, and in wartime, they are responsible for on-site rescue and evacuation of the wounded.

After the capture of Quanzhou, the entire medical system was further improved, for example, Jiang Hong's secondary hospital has been fully staffed, stockpiled for three months of various medicines, and each soldier can be given a life kit to save himself and his injured comrades when he goes to the battlefield. The survival kit contains simple supplies such as tourniquets, golden medicines, bandages and painkillers, and the injured are no longer lonely.

"It's all your credit, I'm just moving my mouth, and you're still doing it!" Zhao Hao smiled. He knew that what he did was to teach them some modern concepts and methods, and he only understood the common knowledge of using alcohol disinfection, opium pain relief, blood vessel ligation, and infection prevention, etc., and the actual operation still needed them to do. Not only does this not want to happen again, but lifesaving can help save the lives of the wounded and boost the morale of the soldiers, knowing that there is professional medical care to protect their lives.

"Your Majesty, please come back quickly, there is a news from the sentinel ship ahead, saying that the search fleet has encountered an enemy ship and engaged in a fierce battle!" Just when Zhao Yu was complacent about his outstanding contributions to ancient medicine, Liu Zhu hurriedly came over and said.

"How big is it?" Zhao Hao asked anxiously.

"The subordinates are stupid, Your Majesty's guess is correct, those merchant ships are disguised by the enemy naval army." Liu Zhu blushed and said with a thick neck, "According to the report of the sentry ship, they found the enemy ship attacking our sentry ship about twenty miles west of the sea off the coast of Leizhou, and they continued to pursue after sending a signal to our ships nearby. When they chased it ten miles offshore, they found that more than 20 enemy ships from the direction of Leizhou were rushing to reinforce it, so they sent an urgent report to the base to request reinforcements. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu snorted and left when he heard this, his worst guess became a reality, the enemy's quiet increase actually slipped under his nose, and was not discovered, they can dispatch more than 20 warships at a time to show that the situation is not good......
