Chapter 174: Shaking the Army's Heart
Half a day later, Xie Yuan returned to the attic.
It's just that Xie Yuan's face is extremely ugly right now.
Qin He's face was ugly when he saw Xie Yuan's return, obviously guessing that he hadn't found a good way.
"Xianggong...... Fishermen...... The fishermen said...... Find some caves to hide ......"
Or...... Or...... Tribute to the Dragon King......"
Xie Yuan hesitated to say what she had inquired about.
After staying with Qin He for a long time, Xie Yuan naturally knew what kind of person Qin He was.
She knew that Qin He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and preferred to believe that he could change everything through himself.
But now the methods given by the fishermen are completely contrary to their own philosophy, which is why she looks so good.
What's more, hiding in a cave, people can indeed be saved, but ......
But the crops of the island will be destroyed......
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan couldn't help but feel a heartache.
It was only after two months of hard work that they had worked hard to get it, and they saw that they would be able to harvest it in a month or two......
Seeing Xie Yuan's words, Qin He couldn't help frowning.
To be honest, he didn't expect the fishermen to give such a plan.
But when I thought about it, I was relieved.
After all, it is almost impossible to effectively prevent such natural disasters at today's levels.
Not to mention the current level of science and technology, even if it is put in modern times, human beings still seem so small in the face of natural disasters.
But Qin He was not reconciled!
After all, the crops on this island are their own work.
After thinking about it, Qin He stepped forward and patted Xie Yuan's shoulder before speaking.
"Silly girl, you don't have to blame yourself, it's no wonder you're here."
How could Qin He not see Xie Yuan's loss?
After comforting him, Qin He also began to think about how to deal with the arrival of the typhoon.
After thinking for a long time, Qin He finally spoke.
"You ask some people from the island to start building a stone wall around our farmland, mainly with stones, and mud mixed with weeds."
Speaking of this, Xie Yuan looked at Qin He and listened carefully.
"The stone wall doesn't need to be too high, three feet is enough!"
"In addition, there are four pieces for every acre!"
Hearing Qin He's words, Xie Yuan didn't know why.
But Xie Yuan didn't ask too much, but left the attic directly.
With the current conditions on the island, Qin He can only think of such a way.
If he is given enough time to prepare, he can choose to plant trees near his farmland to protect against typhoons.
But the time given to him is too little to plant trees.
The farmland they had cultivated was already in the middle of the island, and there were many trees on the periphery as the first line of defense.
Now, with the stone walls built around the farmland, I think it should have played a role.
At least this minimizes the damage.
Nowadays, there is not much farmland that has been reclaimed, but there is a lot of it.
Over the next few days, almost all of the island's clearings were diverted to build stone walls.
Some people are digging stones in the mountains, some people are going to make mud, and some people are building stone walls.
It can be said that everyone on the island has their own duties.
As for the cave dug out of the rocks, it became another shelter after the typhoon came.
While the ordinary people on the island were busy guarding against typhoons, so did the militia under Qin He.
Under the mobilization of Li Yang, he also began to strengthen various ports and shores, striving to ensure the safety of ships during typhoons.
The two days went by in a flash.
The stone walls around the farmland have been partially completed thanks to the efforts of the people of the entire island.
It's not so much how fast they are, it's about protecting the crops that have already grown.
As for those who have just been planted in the ground, or who have just emerged, they are not in a hurry to get them first.
Naturally, you have to get it, but things also have a priority.
As for Li Yang's progress, it is much worse, after all, the reinforcement of the harbor is far more troublesome than that on the island.
In addition, the resources on the island are limited, and even if you want to get it right, you need to invest resources.
Now it was only the place where the warships docked.
As for the fishing boats, I didn't get them for the time being.
Instead, the fishermen are asked to go out to sea every day to catch fish and carry their fishing boats to shore.
On the third day, Dongqin Island was still busy.
Unbeknownst to them, the sailor camp in Qinghe Prefecture had already begun to attack them.
Sailor Camp.
Zhao Qiong looked at the majestic officers and soldiers of the Navy Division in front of him, but there was no smile on his face.
Today, Zhao Qiong can be said to have exhausted all his forces, preparing to take the Qin River in one fell swoop.
Originally, Zhao Qiong was in a good mood and was about to give a speech to boost morale, but because of an incident last night, he was in no mood.
Just last night, one of his sailors, Mr. Qian, informed him that there might be windy weather and asked him not to send troops at this time.
Before, he looked at Mr. Qian and felt pleasing to the eye, after all, Mr. Qian was also a veteran under him, not to mention rich experience at sea.
It also has a good performance in the transfer of troops.
Take the last Qin Kou raid as an example, and the officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division under him suffered the least damage.
Although it failed to fight back, at least most of the casualties were reduced.
It is also the only one in the entire sailor camp.
But such a veteran, a thousand presidents, dared to shake the morale of the army on the eve of sending troops!
How could this not make Zhao Qiong feel annoyed for a while?
If it weren't for the fact that he was a veteran, I am afraid that he would have already taken his life!
As for the fate of Mr. Qian, he was directly imprisoned in the camp.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the two Liang Hao brothers are not in the ranks of the troops this time.
It's not that they don't want to go, it's that Zhao Qiong doesn't plan to give them this opportunity.
Let them serve as logistics in this sailor camp and wait for them to return triumphantly.
The two Liang Hao brothers didn't have to go when they heard it, in fact, their hearts had already blossomed.
Let's not talk about whether they will be accidentally injured by Lord Qin's subordinates at that time, let's just say that it is really not a good time to send troops now.
Liang Hao also knew about the detained Mr. Qian last night.
Liang Hao also knows the reason for his detention.
It's going to be a windy day right now, and no one knows what the troops will be like.
If a person is on the sea, it is equivalent to surrendering life and death to heaven.
As for why Zhao Qiong chose to send troops regardless of the arrival of a windy day, Liang Hao couldn't figure it out.
It wasn't until later that I learned that Lord Zhao was just an official position that he bought for two silvers, and then he realized that this was just a layman.
I don't know anything about things at sea.
Liang Hao was heartbroken for the officers and soldiers of the sailor who were dispatched, and he was also very helpless.
He is not Zhao Qiong's direct subordinate, and he doesn't have the courage to test Zhao Qiong's bottom line.
At this time, if you run out to block it, you may end up with a killer and an example.
In this case, it is better to stay on the shore and watch.
As for whether it is dead or alive, it depends on what God says.
