Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 54 The situation is not optimistic
Yizhou Island, a certain sea area towards the Ryukyu Islands.

Two large ships led by Zhao Gao and Wang Jian gathered together.

When I heard that the other party had not found the First Emperor or any traces.

Both Zhao Gao and Wang Jian couldn't control their temper and screamed there.

"It's almost a month!"

"It's almost a month"

"There is no king in the dynasty, even a fool can think of anything!"

Zhao Gao couldn't imagine how much those ministers would think of him when he was not in court during this period.

In short, it will definitely not be a good start, and even the court may be in chaos!

It's not that Zhao Gao and Wang Jian didn't look for it carefully.

Starting from Nanhai County, go all the way north to find Yizhou Island.

In the East China Sea area, all the islands that can be found have been found, but there is no trace at all.

Even those who escaped and came back to ask for help, they couldn't tell where they fell into the sea.

That's right, I don't even know the approximate location, and I don't even know how to get ashore.

This made Zhao Gao so angry that his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but order the soldiers to drag him out and behead him.

That was merciless at all, and it was time to not consider the consequences.

The First Emperor is gone!

The ruling and opposition parties are about to rebel!
Also consider the consequences of hammering a banana!
"Pass down the truth orally!"

"Let General Bai Qi lead the army and commandeer ten thousand ships to go to sea!"

Time can't be delayed any longer, if the first emperor can't be found, the whole Qin country may be in chaos!
After this period of time, Zhao Gao and Wang Jian would go up and turn upside down every island they passed.

Let alone human figures, there were only footprints and traces, but there were no traces at all.

Don't mention how desperate and worried Zhao Gao was during this time.

During the voyage, we experienced heavy wind and heavy rain several times. Fortunately, the boat was big and stable enough to avoid being overturned by the big waves.

However, after going to sea for a long time, the disadvantages of sailing at sea have emerged.

Many soldiers got seasick and hadn't seen land for a long time. They began to have hysterical hallucinations and jumped off the rising tide as if it were land.

Although people in this era are very afraid of the unfathomable ocean, they have the impression that they don't know anything.

What's more, those who still can't stand the torture, and those who have already developed hysterical hallucinations don't care so much.

After Zhao Gao found out about this weird incident, ten soldiers of Chao Gao couldn't stand the torture and jumped into the sea.

This is not because they are tired or anything, but because their spirits cannot withstand the torture of the endless ocean.

Once they subconsciously believe that the endless ocean is a plain land, they will instinctively want to step on land.

After all, they had no sense of direction and cognition after being on the ship for nearly a month.

Zhao Gao couldn't stand it anymore, so he ordered the oral instructions to go out and let Bai Qi lead the way.

Bai Qi has a high prestige in the army, and he would not have too many troubles and doubts about mobilizing troops in person.

Of course, it's not bad to call Meng Yi, but in comparison, the ministers of the DPRK and China are more afraid of General Bai Qi.

At the beginning, Bai Qi was the happiest when burning books and burying scholars, and there were many subsequent war incidents and so on.

A civil official once made a rough calculation that compared with other generals, the number of lives in Bai Qi's hands was several times that of other generals!
For this reason, Bai Qi was praised by the soldiers in the army as the God of Killing.

With such an evil god personally ordering troops, even if those civil servants thought of something, they would not dare to act rashly.

Don't look at Bai Qi's politeness, once you make him unhappy, don't mention how ruthless he can be.

Ugh.

Zhao Gao came back to his senses and sighed deeply.

They are staying on an island at the moment.

Although it is not as good as the real land, it can calm the restless soldiers a lot.

"We don't have much food left over there,"

Wang Jian got off another large ship with a sad face.

Hearing this, Zhao Gao sighed softly again: "It's about the same for us."

According to the current grain and grass reserves, it is no longer possible to support them to sail again.

Food and grass is a problem, and the soldiers also have various conditions and minor illnesses.

It may be that it has been in the sea for too long, the uneven mix of various nutrients and the long-term mental tension.

Many soldiers suffered from varying degrees of physical damage.

It is a trivial matter to lose large pieces of hair. Some of them are sore all over and cannot use their strength. Not to mention vomiting and diarrhea, they can't even eat.

The whole person has lost a lot of weight. Compared with the flesh and bones before, he is now skin and bones.

Looking at the soldiers sitting under the shade of the trees, Wang Jian also sighed helplessly: "If this continues, we may all end up here."

Many people in the army were whispering, saying that they were cursed because they offended the creatures in the sea by going out to sea in such a mighty way.

In fact, the boatmen who have been on the sea all year round certainly know what is going on with their situation.

This is a symptom of scurvy and dehydration, where the body is deprived of essential nutrients and grows weaker.

The complicated boatmen don’t know how to say it, but if they go to sea all year round, they will have a lot of oranges.

Not very sweet, but a life saver.

If Chang Yu were here, he would definitely give them a thumbs up.

Oranges contain a lot of vitamins, which are the vitamins needed by the human body.

If there were enough oranges on board, this group of soldiers would not be so weak at all.

It's a pity that the trip to the sea was in a hurry, and the boatman thought it would not be long, who knew that a month would pass soon.

Even an experienced boatman may not be able to withstand it for a few more days.

Zhao Gao ordered to stay on the island as a last resort.

It will take several days for them to return to the voyage now.

During this period, it will definitely not be peaceful.

Not to mention the unpredictable weather at sea, even the soldiers can't stand it!

Although the island is not as good as the land, it can stabilize the anxious mood a lot.

Honestly, wait on the island for a few more days until General Bai Qi leads the army to come.

Life at sea was not so easy.

During the day, the sun is exposed to the sun.

Night, stormy.

Under the double torment of climate change, those with psychological endurance have long been unable to withstand suicide.

That's right, without waiting for nature to fight back, the soldiers who couldn't stand it would commit suicide first.

Even Zhao Gao, after this trip, almost couldn't stand it.

It is also concluded from this that the ocean is not so easy to conquer.

"The vast sea is endless, trying to find His Majesty and the others is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack!"

Wang Jian was almost dying of worry, and kept moaning and sighing, knowing that his son Wang Ben was also among them.

Zhao Gao withdrew his gaze from a distance and glanced sideways at Wang Jian: "General Wang, you and I are both important officials of the court, but we know very well what will happen if we can't find your majesty?"

Wang Jian fell silent when he heard the words, he is not a fool, of course he could hear the meaning of Zhao Gao's words.

If His Majesty cannot be found, the Qin Dynasty will definitely be in chaos.

The six countries that were finally unified will once again become a place of disputes.

"Master Zhao, this old man is a military official, so I won't participate in your battles of wisdom."

Wang Jian was silent for a long time before raising his eyes to meet Zhao Gao's firm gaze.

"There is no need to talk about this between you and me. I am on the same island with you at the moment. I believe Zhao Xiang knows it without saying too much."

If the first emperor can't be found to return to the court, Zhao Gao, as the prime minister of the court, must do something so that he can't sit back and watch the Qin Dynasty fall into disputes again.
