Chapter 1261: Cat and Mouse

At dawn, the Qin warships retreated.

"Don't run!"

Crackling, Roman sailors chased and beat rats with all sorts of tools.

Conon looked at the sailors chasing rats on the deck, his face turned pale, and said: "It will definitely not offend the god of the sea, if it offends the god of the sea, it will be an octopus, an eel or something, and it will definitely not be a mouse." ”

Marinus exclaimed, "Could it be the rat god?" ”

Hypasos scoffed, and said in his heart that you don't see one and call it a god, there is a rat god among the Roman gods, not even in the Greek gods and Egyptian gods. He said: "Don't think about it, it must be that rats reproduce quickly, and suddenly they multiply on a large scale, and we just caught up." ”

"Perhaps!" In the vast night yesterday, the Romans did not notice that the Hongwu Emperor had launched a biological and chemical weapon, and they could not find a better reason to think so.

As a result, the entire Roman fleet began a vigorous campaign to exterminate rodents.

Chase on deck, chase down deck. When the cooks cook, they hold a spoon in one hand and a short sword in the other, and when they see a mouse, they will chop.

For the rats, it is not easy to move to this "new world" with their families. Although the Romans were brutal, in the eyes of the rats, the living environment here was not as challenging as it was on the land of Great Qin. They play to the strengths of rodents, burrowing everywhere.

Although there was no land on the ship, the Romans had a large ship with thick partitions, and the rats made holes in the partitions.

Faced with warships full of holes, the authoritarian trio of Conon was dumbfounded. If the partition is removed, it is equivalent to the ship being dismantled. It's not rat fighting. It's beating yourself.

Immediately after, rats began to exterminate the food of the Romans.

Wake up early the next day.

"Cheese. Also my cheese. Ah no, it's the Commander's cheese! "A master. Wielding a kitchen knife, he chases a mouse angrily. He chased from the galley on the second floor to the deck. When I saw the light, my eyes were not good. However, he soon regained his gaze, and when he looked around, his liver and gallbladder were split. I saw that the entire deck was full of scenes of comrades-in-arms chasing and beating mice.

I saw a man wielding a spear and stabbing the upper part of the mast. The rat on top, with its tail cocked. Dodge left and right.

"Ah~~!"

There was a scream from the sky, and the cook was frightened, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a soldier of his own who had fallen from the height of the mast, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, I will take you!" He stretched out his hand and took two quick steps.

Bang, the soldier fell to the ground, vomited blood and died. The chef was annoyed. He added his lips with difficulty and intervened, "I'm sorry brother, I took one step less." ”

Bar~, a mouse landed on the soldier from the sky. The chef was shocked. Hurriedly raised the kitchen knife to defend. The rat didn't take him seriously at all, and after landing safely, he quickly crawled to the hand of the lost soldier. He grabbed a loaf of bread and ran.

The chef felt like he was going crazy, and the commander's breakfast was gone. He galloped to Commander Conon's sleeping quarters.

The Jupiter was huge, and the deck was dark and stuffy. So the commander's sleeping compartments are all on deck.

When the cook arrived, he didn't see the guards, "I guess he went after the rats." He plucked up the courage to open the door and bowed hurriedly. When he snored, he looked up and saw that Conon was sleeping with his mouth wide open. It's not that Kenon is lazy, and it's not Konon's big heart, it's that Kenong is tired of struggling with rats these days. At this moment, even thunder could not wake him up.

Just when the chef was in a dilemma, the unexpected appeared. Then a rat appeared in the room, and the rat man stood up, sniffed with his big nose, and got on Conon's body.

The rat had not grabbed food for days and was starving. It found a piece of ripe steak in Conon's mouth, and it couldn't care much about it, so it probed into it and took a bite to it.

"Wow!"

As the cook covered his face, Conon sat up with a scream like a pig. The chef was afraid, but it was so strange that he couldn't help peeking through his fingers. As soon as he saw that Conon's big bearded mouth was closed, he stopped barking, but the mouse, which was half of his body outside, kicked on his hind legs and had a straight tail. Soon, however, the mouse's body trembled, and its straight tail gradually drooped in twitching, and it was lifeless.

"Phew~!" Conon bit the rat alive and spit it out. He couldn't stand such a life at sea anymore, he couldn't care so much anymore, stretched out his tongue, which was also bitten by rats, and screamed with blood all over his mouth: "Order, return to port, exterminate rats, exterminate rats!" ”

The Roman fleet retreated, and the news quickly reached Qin Feng.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the effect is." Pang Tong said.

In fact, the ministers are very optimistic about this surprise and unprepared method.

Qin Feng didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he saw that the Romans retreated, and estimated that it should have an effect, so Qin Feng sent a secret agent to sneak into the port of Gedrarosia to investigate specific information.

Three days later, Daqin belonged to Minagara, a temporary palace.

"Report ......." The spy returned, overjoyed, and bowed: "Your Majesty, after the Roman fleet returned to the port, the whole fleet was loaded with rats. ”

A month later.

"Report ......." The spy came in ecstasy, "Your Majesty, the scale of rats has expanded, and the whole port has rolled around, and the Romans have no food, so they use rats to feed their hunger." The Romans already had holes in the shells of their warships, and the Romans had nothing to do. ”

Qin Feng on the dragon throne was overjoyed, patted the imperial book case and said, "This is born!" Also make holes in the boat! ”

This rat was born in his own house, and he was depressed, and if he was born in someone else's house, it was called a stealing joy. Born in the enemy country, the ministers rejoiced and shouted: "Good birth, good birth!" One hundred and eighty of them is the best in one litter. ”

The spy then said: "Your Majesty, I found out that a group of Roman soldiers has gone to Persia." ”

When the ministers heard this, they deeply felt their duty, and they pondered it.

Pang Tong said: "Suddenly sent someone to Persia? ”

Jia Xu said: "There must be a conspiracy!" ”

Guo Jia said: "You can't guard against it. ”

"Persia!" As soon as Qin Feng pondered it, he was happy, and said with a smile: "I must have gone to find the cat." ”

"Looking for a cat?" The ministers were shocked.

Qin Feng smiled: "Persian cat." ”

"Persian cat!" The ministers were shocked.

At this time, the Persian cat was not yet well-known at home and abroad, and after Qin Feng explained, he said: "It is normal for cats to catch mice, and it is normal for the Romans to look for cats." ”

Only then did the ministers understand what was going on, and finally knew that there was a kind of cat, called the Persian cat, "It turns out that Persia produces cats, I don't know, the emperor knows!" ”

Qin Feng got up, and the ministers hurriedly stood upright, only to hear him say: "The Roman ships have holes, the time has come, pass on my order, pull the anchor tomorrow and set sail, and approach the port of Gedrosia!" ”

"Yes!" The ministers were very excited, and said that there were holes in the hull of the ship, and the Romans would definitely be defeated this time.

The ministers went and prepared their own work.

After Pang Tong walked out of the palace, he shook his head and sighed: "The emperor really knows everything about astronomy and geography, even the Persian cat knows it." ”

As soon as Lao Jia Xu heard this, he found that the opportunity had come, and slapped him on the back of the head, "Nonsense, of course there are cats in Persia, where are there no cats?" The emperor is talking about breed, not about having cats or not! ”

Pang Tong was furious, "I'm talking about variety, you distort the facts, I'm going to the emperor to impeach you!" ”

Lao Jia Xu touched his beard, "Go!" With that, he walked on tiptoe.

Pang Tongyi turned around, turned back again, and said angrily: "Forget it, heroes don't eat the losses in front of ......." ”

On the other hand, Rome belonged to the port of Gederosia, the Doge's Palace.

"It's over, it's all over, all the food is eaten by the rats, how can this be explained to His Majesty." Conone said.

Marinus rolled his eyes and said, "Two, this is a natural disaster, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Report ......, the cat is coming, the cat is coming!" A Roman herald came in ecstasy.

Conon was overjoyed and asked, "How many?" ”

The herald said, "Five thousand!" ”

"It's only 5,000!" The trio was dissatisfied.

The herald hurriedly said: "Our army has done its best, this is all the cats that can be found in the Persian province." ”

It turns out that in ancient times, only dignitaries and dignitaries had cats at home, thanks to Persia, if it was Egypt and Europe, they did not have cats. Because in the god system, cats are messengers of hell and are unlucky. This was also the basis for the massive plague of plague and the Black Death in Europe.

Later, the Europeans, scientific, knew that the fundamental reason was that they did not have cats, and scolded the religious ists at that time for their blind propaganda, if a family had raised two, there would have been no rat plague, no Black Death, and Europe would not have died 25 million people, and the world would have been unified long ago.

"Report ......." Another herald came in, and said hurriedly: "It's a big deal, Emperor Hongwu is here again, at this moment it is less than fifty nautical miles from the port, please quickly move forward to resist the enemy!" ”

The three of Conon were taken aback, and Conon said, "Since the number of cats is not enough, protect the warship first, and prepare to pull the anchor and set sail!" ”

Marinus said: "No food! ”

"Prepare more water, and resist eating mice!"

The trio thought about it, and it was the same thing. Although there is no food, the rats can always catch some, and this is the fresh reserve that can move and is not afraid of spoilage.

It turns out that the rat plague is also beneficial. So, Conon ordered the fleet, five cats on a ship, pulled anchor and left the port.

As soon as the cat was carried aboard by the Roman soldiers, the cat's eyes were stupid, and they saw rats scurrying all over the deck. And the soldiers are used to it, they usually run and catch one by one, and now they are all preparing to set sail, and they don't care, and let the rats run around under their feet.

People get used to it, but cats can't get used to it in this life.

On Jupiter's flagship, the trio of Conon, who had just boarded the ship with a Persian cat, screamed in unison, and it turned out that the cat showed its claws and sprang out of its hands. I saw that these five Persian cats were very powerful, and they went up a few sharp turns, and each caught a mouse.

The three of Kenong had blood in their hands, but their hearts were happy, and they said in their hearts: "With this efficiency, the rats will be dried up in two or three days!" (To be continued......)
