I am not Song Qinzong

"Your Highness, they are too fast to keep up." Jiang Zhen said sweating profusely.

Zhao Huan fixed his eyes on the name B, and said: "Follow at full speed, make sure you don't lose track."

"Your Highness." Fei Bao said, "We are borrowing the power of the wind, but at this time it is against the wind, so we can only borrow it in a zigzag shape.

Type B is dragged by a whale, it is fast, and it is going straight, it is absolutely impossible to keep up. "

In just a few days, Fei Bao had learned a lot about sea navigation, so he explained something for Jiang Zhen.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhen said again: "The banner of the Yizihao will meet in Dengzhou."

The implication is to let the other three ships go back first, and then return after they complete the task.

Zhao Huan was not reconciled, and ordered: "Follow the blood trail, maybe there will be something, and we will talk about it after the trace is completely lost."

After chasing for half an hour, the B brand has completely lost its trace, and the blood is naturally nowhere to be found.

"Your Highness, we have already gone overseas, and it is getting dark now, so we must turn around." Jiang Zhen remonstrated.

Zhao Huan thought for a moment, and said: "From now on, all the officers and men on board the ship B will be the guards of the Eastern Palace. If they cannot return, all of their family members will be taken care of by the Eastern Palace."

"Here." Zhou Yunqing wrote it down.

Seeing that he really couldn't find it, Zhao Huan ordered to return to Dengzhou Port unhappily.

So the ship turned around and headed straight north.

Because they had been chasing the whale for more than two hours, the fleet had long since lost their exact position, but it was estimated that it was about a hundred miles east of Tianheng Island.

If it is an ordinary merchant ship, you can go directly to the north, and you will not miss the land on the left or right.

However, Donggong was on board, so of course he couldn't take risks.

When you see the coast, turn to the north again, basically sticking to the coast.

The risk of being stranded is not small, but landing ashore after being stranded is actually not very dangerous, and it is safer than missing the land and crashing directly into the ocean.

After passing Tianheng Island, it is northeastward, winding along the coast, bypassing Chengshan, and it is the sea area to the northeast of Shandong.

When I got here, I saw ships passing by from time to time.

In this dynasty, the maritime trade is developed, and there are countless ships from Shandong to Korea and Dongying. It is normal to meet them.

"Your Highness, this place is still more than four hundred miles away from Dengzhou." Jiang Zhenhui reported.

Zhao Huan glanced at the sail and asked, "How long will it take?"

"At this time, the wind is favorable. If the wind direction does not change, it will take at most two days." Jiang Zhen replied.

Calculated, two hundred miles a day.

After thinking silently for a while, Zhao Huan said: "It took me eleven days to wait from Yuntiguan to Dengzhou, which is much faster than the land route."

"And the loss is lower." Fei Bao said: "There are only a hundred people on board, but there are many more because of the protection of His Highness. If it is to transport grain and grass goods, 20 people are enough!"

"The sea transportation is convenient, you can see it!" Zhao Huan sighed.

The whole journey is along the coast, and the voyage is about two thousand miles.

Calculated, it was about fifteen miles in an hour.

This speed is actually not too slow.

Just like the march of a large army, a normal day is no more than one dozen miles, and an average of two or three miles per hour. The key is that soldiers have limited physical strength and need to rest at night.

The speed of business travel is faster, regardless of horses and ox carts, fifty or sixty miles a day is almost the limit, and the reason is the same.

The average speed of sea ships is fast, and they can travel day and night without stopping, which is indeed faster than land routes.

For the same cargo, sea-going ships require fewer people, which can naturally greatly reduce costs.

In fact, the speed of the canal is not slow, but the transportation volume of a single ship is not as good as that of a sea ship, and it is also not as good.

It's a pity that because of the serious interest involved, the water transportation has been going through the canal.

Of course, what Zhao Huan was most concerned about was the situation of Ma Ping. The matter of transporting water into the sea could not be handled even if he wanted to, so it could only be decided by Zhao Ji.

130 Six Salmon Island

Dengzhou Port, the northern coast of Shandong Peninsula, where the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea meet.

As early as the Han Dynasty, this place was the main port of entry and exit for the Shandong Peninsula to Liaodong route.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties sent troops to North Korea, built ships and went to sea here.

In the second year of Qingli, the imperial court set up fishing inspections in Dengzhou Port, and stationed a part of the navy with warships, and the Salmonella Island was controlled by the Dengzhou Navy.

At this time, according to the severity of the crime, different criminal laws were imposed. Because of the principle of killing less and killing carefully, most of the serious criminals were exiled.

It is divided into three classes, namely 2000 miles, 2500 miles and 3000 miles. In fact, the distances are almost the same.

However, there is one place that the exiles avoid.

This is Salmon Island.

How scary is Salmonella?

The birthday key was robbed, and Liang Zhongshu was furious. In order to solve the case, he sent someone to intimidate the governor of Jeju. With just one sentence, "please go to Salmon Island for a visit", the governor was so frightened that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.

Jade Qilin Lu Junyi was framed by the housekeeper Li Gu, and was also sentenced to assassinate Salmonella Island.

Intimidating officials and framing enemies, Salmonella Island is a good choice, why?

There is a record in the Criminal Law Chronicle: "The one who is assigned the most heavy duty is the Salmonella Island, the second is Lingbiao, and the next is three thousand miles to the neighboring states." That is to say, the most serious sentence of exile is the Salmonella Island.

The reason is that "sinners lend money to the dead, the old ones are more suitable for Salmonella Island, and the most successful ones die more."

In the third year of Jiayou, Wang Juyuan, the transshipment envoy of Jingdong Road, reported to Renzong, saying: "It is estimated that 300 people will be assigned every year, and there will be about 3000 people in ten years. Except for one death, there will be 2000 people in charge. Today, there are only 180 people. It shows the disadvantages."

The death rate is more than [-]%, which is simply appalling.

A narrow escape is nothing more than that.

This is also impossible. The island is not big, the population is small, and the food supply is insufficient. Dengzhou only provides food rations for 300 people every year.

Miserable is certainly miserable, but those who come here are all felons, if they are not wronged, it is all right to say that they deserve what they deserve.

So, why did Zhao Huan choose the extremely vicious Salmonella Island to set up a sub-base?

After all, there are so many islands, and there are many who have better conditions but have not been brought under the control of the imperial court.
