Chapter 333: Rescue

The guards forced the residents to line up and began distributing food to them.

Everyone was given a little bit to eat, and they immediately began to munch. The guards brought water bags and poured a few mouthfuls of water into some of the choking people to prevent them from choking on food.

Taichin sighed, "Oh, what a sin! These pirates also went too far, and even robbed the inhabitants of their food. Not even a single grain was left for them. ”

Du Dalei gritted his teeth and said: "Monk, as long as Lin Xiwang's gang does not run out of the earth, we can always find them, and then the old and new accounts will be settled together, and Lao Tzu will pick their skin!" ”

Many of the residents finished their food and looked at the guards with a blank eye, wanting more to eat.

Tai Chin walked over and explained to the old man he had negotiated with him why he didn't feed the residents.

When the old man understood, he went into the crowd and told everyone what Taiqin had said, and the crowd immediately erupted in cheers, and many of the residents began to kneel down again and kowtow to the guards.

Some of the guards' eyes moistened, and they hurriedly helped the residents to their feet and comforted them with kind words.

Boris said to Zhao Zizhong: "Boss, I have an idea, it's not feasible for you to listen to it. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Boss, the land on Penghu Island is barren and not very suitable for human habitation. We might as well transport all these people to the island of Taiwan. It can be regarded as giving them a way to live. ”

Du Dalei immediately shouted: "Old Bao, you really have a brain!" It's definitely a good idea, and if these people stay here, they're going to starve to death. Even if we give them food, we will not be able to solve the fundamental problem. If we transport them to Taiwan, we will be able to obtain a lot of labor, and they will have a way to live. Old Bao, you are so powerful! ”

Du Dalei hugged Boris and began to kiss him, making Boris's face full of saliva.

Boris pushed Du Dalei away in disgust and wiped his face with his sleeve.

Zhao Zizhong was also very happy, he said with a smile:

"Boris, this method is very good, we will discuss it in the evening, come up with a specific implementation plan, and implement it as soon as possible."

Zhao Zizhong found Zhai Xiaoshan again and asked him to send a few scouts to search other areas of the island with the guards, contact the residents of the island, and ask them to come here for dinner.

Boris added: "Find a few guards who can speak the Min language and spread them out into the teams. So as not to be able to communicate with the residents, causing unnecessary conflicts. ”

Zhai Xiaoshan agreed to come down and left in a hurry.

Du Dalei said with emotion: "Old Bao, a few days ago, the boss asked you to preside over the General Staff, and I still don't think so. Now it seems that you are resourceful and a good material to be a chief of staff! ”

Boris shook his head: "Don't praise me, look at the one that makes my face stink, you haven't brushed your teeth for a few days?" ”

Du Dalei smiled: "Haha, no more, no more, only three or four days." What do you think? Tastes good, right? ”

Boris kicked the second cargo a few times in anger, went to the guard to ask for a water bag, and began to wash his face.

Du Dalei took a few kicks, but he didn't care, he sang a little song triumphantly, and kept spinning in circles next to Boris.

After a while, more than fifty guards returned, all carrying sacks with heavy loads.

The captain put down the sack, ran to Zhao Zizhong, saluted and said:

"Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry, so I will come back with fifty people first. We brought back some food, as well as salt and whale jerky, enough for these people to eat for a few meals. ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "Thank you for your hard work, you ask Zhai Xiaoshan to send people to the village, try to collect iron pots, clay pots and other guys, and cook porridge for the residents immediately." ”

The team leader saluted and went to find Zhai Xiaoshan.

After Boris finished washing his face, he saw Du Dalei's stinky fart, and he was angry, so he began to continue to chase him.

Du Dalei hurriedly fled and ran towards the village.

Zhao Zizhong felt angry and funny, these two brothers are almost thirty years old, but they are full of childishness, and they don't look serious at all.

Du Dalei's strange screams came from the village, the voice was very miserable, he must have been caught by Boris, and he was suffering inhumane abuse.

Tai Qin walked over and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, your brothers are all benevolent people, and you will definitely be blessed if you have rescued so many residents." ”

Zhao Zizhong humbled a few words and told Taiqin about Boris's idea.

Tai Qin was very shocked and hurriedly asked, "Lord Zhao, do you have so much food and materials to feed these residents?" It is said that there are more than 1,000 people on the island. ”

Zhao Zizhong said solemnly: "I don't know if there will be enough food yet." However, this time we went to sea and carried enough food for our fleet to eat for half a year, so it is estimated that there is no big problem now.

We need to transport the inhabitants here to Liuqiu Island as soon as possible, and then quickly return to Qishan Island to deliver food and supplies to them. As long as they survive this winter, let them clear the wasteland and start drying salt. Let's work hard, we can always let them live. ”

Taiqin clasped his hands together: "Master Zhao, the Sprinkle family really doesn't know what to say." I will help you, try to persuade these inhabitants to go and seek reclaim. The land here is so barren that they can't harvest much food after a year's hard work, so they can only be half-starved and half-fed. If you can go to Liuqiu, it will definitely be much better than here. ”

At this time, the guards brought out some iron pots, large clay pots and other containers from the village, and began to build simple stoves to prepare porridge.

The residents all watched with amazement, and the old man said to everyone: "Folks, people give us food, and we can't be idle." Let's all go fetch water, find firewood, and help them cook. That way, we can also eat hot porridge and water quickly. ”

The residents said yes and got busy. Only some old men with no strength and women with children stayed where they were, helping the guards with chores.

Taiqin found the old man, pulled him aside, and told him about Zhao Zizhong's decision.

The old man was very surprised, opened his mouth wide, and did not speak for a long time.

Tai Qin said, "When you are all full, let's discuss it in the evening." Mr. Zhao said that if he was willing to go with them, he would give them a full meal; If you don't want to leave, you will be left to fend for themselves, and you will not be given a grain of food. Don't be fooled! ”

The old man nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao is really a living bodhisattva!" I guess everyone will leave, and stay here to starve to death. ”

At this time, another large group of men came from the east. Leading the way were a few guards, followed by many ragged residents, numbering in the hundreds.

Zhai Xiaoshan hurriedly greeted him with his guards to help maintain order.

A scout ran in front of Zhao Zizhong and said loudly: "Report to the chief, we have searched this island and found more than five hundred inhabitants. Brought them all back.

We also found the camp of the pirate gang, which was in shambles, with nothing left. ”

Zhao Zi revisited his words and said: "It's hard work, everyone, go and rest for a while." ”

When the scout left, Zhao Zizhong instructed a banner soldier: "You go and tell Zhai Xiaoshan that the porridge should be cooked thinner." These people are starving, and they can't eat too much at once, or they will die. And each person is limited to one bowl, absolutely not more. ”

The flag soldier hurriedly left, and at this time, Boris dragged Du Dalei, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and the two stumbled over.

Du Dalei hurriedly shouted: "Boss, save me!" Boris was so hard that he almost beat me to death! ”

Zhao Zi laughed again: "Who made you cheap?" It's not much to kill you. ”

Seeing that Zhao Zizhong didn't help him, Du Dalei broke free of Boris's hand, sat down with his ass, and began to cry:

"Sister-in-law! Your brother's life is so miserable! Your man is not a thing, he sees my brother and I being beaten, and he doesn't care about me! Woo woo, why is Lao Tzu so miserable, he was beaten by his own brother, and is there any heavenly reason! ”

Zhao Zizhong and Boris looked at each other, and the two immediately walked away, deciding to ignore this second goods.

After a while, it was getting dark, and the guards lit piles of bonfires for the residents to line up and come up one after another to receive their food.

Residents brought bowls, clay pots and other containers from the village and lined up to receive porridge water.

The guards filled each of them with a bowl of gruel and sent them away.

The residents stepped aside and began to gobble up. The porridge was quickly drunk.

Someone also wanted some porridge and began to beg the guards.

The guards received the order and began to persuade each other with kind words. But some residents did not listen to the dissuasion and insisted on serving another bowl of porridge.

So the guards began to persuade and educate these people with fists, kicks, and sticks, and beat them to the head.

After another hour or so, the residents finished their porridge and gradually dispersed.

Zhao Zizhong ordered the tired guards to pack up their things and return to the beach together.

Du Dalei, who had stopped crying, came over and asked:

"Boss, what are we going back to do? It's so late, why don't you stay here? ”

Zhao Zizhong shook his head: "No, we have to go back." I don't know anyone here, so what if the pirates kill a rifle and come to attack in the middle of the night? It's better to go back to the warship and be safe. ”

Du Dalei stopped talking stupidly and followed everyone back.

Everyone returned to their respective ships and began to have dinner.

After the meal, Zhao Zizhong gathered all the senior officers to the flagship and began to discuss the matter of transporting the residents of Penghu Island to Liuqiu.

Boris first said: "Tonight, everyone must not be careless, we must be doubly careful. We have been attacked once on Qishan Island and have suffered a big loss. If you are attacked by someone else this time, you will lose your face. Anyway, I don't have the face to see anyone again, so you can do it yourself. ”
