Chapter Eighty-Nine: That Tastes Good
The frigate kept back, exiting the brightly lit sea, and the torches and candles on the deck were extinguished, except for a few candles in the main cabin.
Li Nanfeng sat on the main seat, and Cao Lang and Wu Yang accompanied each other.
Li Nanfeng inhaled and smiled: "Exciting! What a fucking thrill! ”
Cao Lang: "Two adults, the Jin Fleet has arrived, why don't we avoid the edge for the time being?" ”
Li Nanfeng: "Lao Cao, you're boring, everything has been done, how can there be any reason to give up halfway?" According to me, hurry up and see what happened to the building boat that the people of the East China Sea were taking? ”
Cao Lang immediately ordered the frigate to correct its course and go all out.
He now figured it out, the fleet of the Jin Kingdom can reach Donghai County by this evening at the latest, and he will be able to discover the abnormality of Donghai County immediately, his ship has already appeared in front of the Jin people, as long as he thinks about it, he can connect the anomaly of the East China Sea with this side, and if the Jin State side wants to investigate it, he can't get out of it anyway, it is better to hold on to the two thighs in front of him and seek a way to live!
Wu Yang: "Counting the time, Yan Chi has already entered the Donghai County, I don't know what he feels like when he finds out that what he has worked so hard to win is an empty city?" ”
Li Nanfeng said with a smile: "I would like to see if the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom ordered the sailors to come from afar and find that they were attacking an empty city, will they be too disappointed, that face must be wonderful!" ”
Cao Lang: "......"
Donghai County.
Yan Chi took his guards and ran back and forth for two times, and there was no one alive in the entire Donghai County except for them, the intruders!
Abe Luhua pointed to the water gate that was blown open and persuaded: "Don't look for it, people must have run away from the sea!" Now let's think about how to explain after the sailor comes! ”
Yan Chi's eyes glared: "What to explain?" Since the man ran from the sea, it was just left to the sailor! Damn, doesn't it mean that Donghai County can't even find a sampan, how can there still be a boat to go to sea? This skin has to be pulled! ”
Having said that, Yan Chi also knew that he couldn't explain to the emperor with just one mouth, so he ordered: "Cut off all the heads, pile them into a Jingguan, count the treasury, and wait for the water master!" ”
The corpses of the rebels killed in the final battle were cut off, their heads piled up at the water gate, and the corpses were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
The lieutenant general in charge of Dui Jingguan counted: "A total of 1,472 heads!" ”
According to their intelligence and estimates, there are about six or seven thousand of the rebels who retreated into Donghai County and the women, children, and children in the city, and about three or four thousand of them fled from Donghai County, counting the rebels who died in the previous battle.
Abe Ruhua said: "With these gains, I can probably push it over." It's just that the heads of the bandit leaders Zhang Wang and Xu Yuan are not among them, but this is difficult to do! ”
Yan Chi instructed the lieutenant general: "Take the portrait of the two bandits and look for it carefully, don't miss it, whether this battle will be rewarded or punished, it depends on whether you can find the head of the second bandit!" If you find it, remember to brush it with lime and save it! ”
The deputy general immediately understood Yan Chi's intentions, he personally led people to compare one head after another around Jingguan, and finally found two similar ones, for fear of revealing the stuffing, Yan Chi made two cuts on the faces of the two heads, and then pickled lime, and probably prevaricated.
…………
The frigate of the Great Song Navy Division chased after it all night, and finally caught up with the building ship.
At this time, the sky was slightly dark, and a round of red sun struggled between the sea and the sky, and finally broke free from the shackles of the sea and clouds, and jumped out, and the golden light sprinkled all over the sea.
It's a fluke.
The ship has been in a hurry, and on the dark sea, the Jin Fleet is like a huge torch, which can be seen from afar.
At this time, the people of Donghai County were like frightened birds, and they were immediately very alert at the slightest disturbance.
Xu Ji ordered the whole ship to extinguish the lights and candles, and anchored and stopped the ship.
Taking advantage of the time to stop the ship, he took Zhang Wang, Xu Yuan, Li Xiu, Xie Dacheng, Hu Sandao and others down to the bottom warehouse.
Xu Ji, Zhang Wang, and Xu Yuan were all experts in shipbuilding, and soon discovered the passive hands and feet on the ship.
Xu Ji gasped: "Mother, at most, this boat will leak for another day, the sea is vast, and a boatload of people will be buried in the belly of the fish!" Lao Xie, how did you know that there was something wrong with this ship? What did Lord Wu tell you? ”
Xie Dacheng shook his head: "Lord Xiao Wu doesn't know at all, if he knows, he will definitely not let us leave like this!" Now is not the time to discuss this, let's think about what to do first, can this ship be repaired? ”
Xu Ji and the three of them discussed for a while, and said: "There is no way to repair it, this is at sea, and besides, this ship is not the same as the 'Hope' that we have done before, the bottom of his ship is glued, and once something happens, the whole ship will completely fall apart!" ”
Hu Sandao and the others changed their complexion when they heard this, they were all heroes on land, and they couldn't use any strength to do things on the water.
"Damn, the sailor of the Great Song Dynasty is too ruthless, and he didn't leave us any way to live!"
Xie Dacheng said: "You should all say that you are lucky, if it weren't for Xiao Wu's thoughts, I estimate that this ship would have sunk a long time ago!" ”
Li Xiu has not said anything, since he knew that there might be something wrong with the ship, he has been looking at the chart brought out by Xu Ji.
He seemed to have an answer in his heart, and asked Xu Jidao: "Old man, how many hours does it take to turn here from this position?" Can the building boat hold on? ”
Xu Ji and the others looked over and saw that the place where Li Xiu pointed was not far away, but there was also the sea there, and that place was not within the route, if something happened, there were no passing ships, and the hope of being rescued was even slimmer.
Xu Jiqi said: "According to the distance estimate, it will take about half a day to arrive." Just what are you going there for? Not even an island or even a reef! ”
Li Xiu's eyes were firm: "Yes, there is a desert island there, which is enough for us to survive." ”
After Li Bonian settled in Donghai County, he sailed in the direction of Nanyang all the year round.
One year, Li Bonian and his 16-year-old only son Li Xiu encountered wind and waves at sea, and the sea boat that Li Xiu and his son were riding hit a reef and leaked, and the father and son got into a small boat before the boat sank.
The wind and rain were fierce, and the waves on the sea were higher and higher, Li Xiu and his son had to go with the flow, and just when the father and son thought they would die, the wind and waves washed the boat to a desert island.
"My father ordered me to write down the position and not to mention it to anyone, he once said that maybe one day, this desert island will be our refuge, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon!"
Xu Ji said: "Since there is such a place, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Li Xiu: "It's lonely overseas, there is nothing but overgrown wasteland, if it weren't for such a desperate situation, do you think the villagers would follow me?" ”
Xu Ji was silent, the Han people have always regarded themselves as the Zhengshuo Dynasty, not to mention such an isolated island far from the mainland, even the Cham people are uncivilized savages in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, and Yashan is only the penal colony of the Great Song Dynasty.
The ship adjusted its course and sailed northeast.
Seeing the corvette catching up from a distance, Xu Ji and the others were shocked, until they saw that the person waving at the bow of the ship was Wu Yang, and the ship slowed down.
Wu Yang was naturally happy to see that the Lou boat was fine, and he hurriedly said: "The Lou boat can sail for a day and night at most, do you have a way to remedy it?" ”
Xie Dacheng quietly pulled him aside and told everyone what they had discovered and how to deal with it.
Wu Yang immediately said: "Since this is the case, I will go back immediately and tell them, just say that you have a way to remedy it, and it is enough to reach the small country of Nanyang safely!" ”
Li Xiu leaned over: "Please ask Lord Wu to introduce Master Cao of the water master for me, and I will have to make a deal with the water master in the future." ”
There is a difference between the desert island and the small country in the South Seas, where there is a shortage of materials, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these thousands of people are all problems, and the materials needed are a very terrifying number, so they naturally need the support of the Great Song Dynasty.
It is also a stable trading partner for Cao Lang.
Li Xiu is an expert in business, Wu Yang took him to see Cao Lang, the two chatted alone for a while, Cao Lang smiled and said to Li Xiu: "If you have any needs in the future, just come to my lieutenant general, take this sign and ask a soldier of the sailor at random, and naturally someone will lead you to meet him!" ”
Before leaving, Li Xiu asked Wu Yang again and again: "Lord Wu, the little apprentice Mo Yu will ask my lord." If he asks, you just wait for me to die in the East China Sea, let him live in Lin'an with peace of mind, and don't let people bully! ”
Wu Yang sighed secretly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhang likes him very much, and when I left Lin'an, Lord Zhang had arranged for him to enter Lin'an Mansion to study." ”
Li Xiu was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and thanked him again and again, and then took the building boat to the desert island.
Little Orchid was playing on the deck with a round-headed child and a lean teenager, and when they saw Li Xiu's face full of joy, they all gathered around and asked, "Uncle Li Xiu, you are so happy, is there any good news for Brother Mo Yu?" ”
Li Xiu took the two boys by his side one by one: "Your brother Mo Yu is going to school in Lin'an, he doesn't have to suffer anymore!" ”
Little Orchid looked up at Li Xiu: "I heard that girls in Lin'an can also read and write, is Uncle Li Xiu real?" ”
Li Xiu: "I don't know other places in the Great Song Dynasty, boys in Lin'an City can go to school at the age of seven, the school is not restricted, and the family is poor, and the court also gives the child's parents some money and food subsidies every month." Girls can also go to school and read if their families agree! ”
Li Xiu's words attracted the fascination of the three children, and they looked into the distance with great attention, which was the direction of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Brother Mo Yu's luck is so good! When can we go to Da Song, Lin'an, and go to school! ”
Li Xiu also looked in that direction, and he said firmly: "Yes, there will be that day!" ”
Leaving the ship, the frigate began to rush with all its might, and they had to rush back to the sailor's yamen before sunset.
Li Nanfeng leaned on the chair, squinted at Wu Yang and said, "Seriously, if I don't cooperate, can you really go down and ask for my brother's life?" ”
Wu Yang looked at his neck: "Are you willing to die?" Or does Cao Lang dare you die? ”
Li Nanfeng muttered: "That's right, my brother's life has to be saved for a good life and pity the Oiran lady in Lin'an City, how can he be willing to die!" ”
Wu Yang said, "Why are you helping me?" ”
Li Nanfeng leaned back in his chair again: "Four thousand one hundred and sixty-three people, it sounds like a lot, if I have never seen it, I will die if I die, it's just a number." But I've seen them with my own eyes, and they're all real people! Especially when each of them bows to you and thanks, the sincere gratitude that bursts out from the bottom of their hearts is really enviable! ”
He looked at Wu Yang: "Do you know? When they thanked you, a lot of people made a detour to bow to me, and that was a good feeling, hey, not bad! ”
