Chapter 690 - Waiting for Reception at Sea (2)
Qi Ke listed one, two, three or four ideas on the electronic sticky note for the follow-up things to be done in the boat robbery, and wrote and opened a new blank page to think about how to write the notice to the village for a while, a short paragraph of 100 words, deleted, changed and changed several times, and always felt dissatisfied.
"Haven't written it yet?" After the boat finally successfully anchored, Zhao Lin came behind Qi Ke and happened to see her delete the second half of a paragraph.
"No, I've been wondering if it would scare the village if we scarred a pirate bucket boat and asked them to find a way to pick us up."
"You will definitely be scared, scare a few more times, and you can get used to it." Zhao Lin said lightly, "Don't think too much, if you feel that a paragraph is not clear, just divide it into several paragraphs and let you run a few more times, and do your best to send the news back, let the people on the shore find a way to take us back, we have all grabbed the boat in our hands, and we can't rely on us to teach them how to do it." When we go ashore, this ship will definitely not land in Erma Town, so we can protect the interests we can get from ourselves and the village, and don't take other things into account. ”
"Huh?" Qi Ke stopped typing, frowned and seriously recalled the geographical environment of Erma Town, and suddenly realized, "There is no dock for big ships in Erma Town, and when Bai Qing learns the news, the towns under his command with conditions will grab this boat and break their heads." ”
"The Black Flag Gang found out that their men were missing, they will definitely send a ship to find them, we are floating on the sea, the water is limited, the ship full of captives can resist at any time to retake their ship, all kinds of dangers are imminent, Bai Qing does not have much time to watch his subordinates fight for this ship, he must make a decision in the shortest possible time where the ship stops."
"What do you think he will decide?"
"According to the principle of proximity, the estuary is the closest." At the height of Qi Ke's sitting position, a map was projected in front of her, which was an estuary environment that flowed into the sea, and at a glance she saw a dilapidated dock that occupied a large area but had fallen into disrepair.
"This is the estuary?"
"Yes, this is the mouth of the Jiuzhi River, the mother river of the people of Heyang Prefecture, named after Jiuzhi Mountain, which happens to be in Donglin County."
"Last time, Bai Qing said that he had a tributary that could directly enter the sea, did he mean this?"
"Yes, Bai Qing's main duty here should be to guard this estuary, otherwise it is difficult to explain the reason why General Bai put his eldest son here, and the most dangerous place is naturally the best place to earn military merits."
"The goods on Haishi Street in Dong'an Prefecture, from which estuary did they come in?"
"There are many sources of goods in Haishi Street, and there are many coastal counties and towns that can stop sea ships, even if there is no entrance to the sea, they can be transshipped by sea and land, and transported inland by land after unloading. However, there is only one estuary of the main stream of the Jiuzhi River, and it does not matter if all the other tributaries entering the sea are assigned to civilian use, because the navigable capacity of the tributaries is a natural limitation, and the main stream must be in the hands of the imperial court. ”
"Is there a boat in this main stream now?"
"Definitely not, otherwise the good natural estuary bay will not be dilapidated like this, it is estimated that this section of water has been under the control of the East China Sea border army since before, but the former border army has not been properly operated and used."
"This shouldn't be, the former border army sat on the wharf that flowed into Haikou, that is, the big landlords, and they could earn a lot of money by collecting customs taxes and tolls."
"We don't know what our predecessor did." Zhao Lin shrugged regretfully, saying this, the former border army is indeed quite strange.
