Great Tang Southern Emperor

As the ship got closer and closer, the condition of the ship also came into everyone's eyes - the hull basically has no whole place, the top and bottom are covered with patches, the mast is tilted and may fall down at any time, and the mainsail is broken A big hole, although it has been repaired, the repair is not perfect, and even the repaired patch is starting to crack...

No need to guess, the foreman has already determined that the ship is indeed shipwrecked, and it is very miserable.According to the estimation of the old man on the pier, the ship should have hit the center of the storm head-on, otherwise it would not have been so miserable.

I don't know if they are lucky or unlucky. Unfortunately, they were able to hit the storm head-on. How poor is the quality of this navigator?To say that they were lucky to hit the center of the storm, to survive, and to get back to the pier safely is indeed a stroke of luck.

Seeing this situation, the energetic coolies immediately lost their energy, but they still helped to call the boatmen and doctors, and what's more, they had already prepared tools and materials—this is for the people who live at sea. As a rule, the sea is wide and can accommodate everything. People who live on the sea should also learn this kind of broad-mindedness. When encountering others in distress at sea, as long as you can help them, you must not turn a blind eye. Being rescued by others can be regarded as accumulating merit for oneself.

People who live on the pier can be regarded as half-sea people, and of course they will abide by this rule, not to mention that even if there is no such rule, such behavior is worthy of encouragement from a humanitarian point of view.

……

The foreman's previous prediction was correct. They couldn't get work for a day today, because less than a quarter of an hour after the broken ship appeared, and even before the broken ship docked, a group of troops came to the pier. The pier was blocked, and everyone was driven away at the same time.

Fortunately, the army is still reasonable, knowing that it is not easy for the people on the pier, so each person has [-] big money as compensation, although it is not as good as a day's income, but don't forget, this is what they get without effort. They still have one more day to look for other jobs—now Yuezhou City is undergoing major construction, and there are many jobs with daily wages. Even if they work for a day, they may not earn as much as carrying bags on the pier, but forty or fifty You can still get the copper plate, plus the fifty cash, you can earn more than carrying bags on the pier.

Not only the No. [-] port, but also the adjacent No. [-], [-], and [-] ports are all under martial law. No one is allowed to watch within a radius of one mile. Spread it out for more than ten miles to ensure that no one will spy on the nearby situation.

Then Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong appeared together, pushing the tense atmosphere to its peak...

These two are real big men in the army. They are the number one and second existences in the Tang Dynasty. They are the well-deserved God of War in the Tang Dynasty. All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty admire the most. Don't think that Li Jing and Li Ji are the military gods of the Tang Dynasty, but when it comes to the prestige among the soldiers, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde are the two of them.

When the soldiers who were still full of resentment saw these two, their morale immediately increased by three levels. God of War is watching, but... there are no fools present, these two big bosses are basically in a semi-retired state because they worked so hard in the early years and suffered a serious loss of vitality. It has already explained the seriousness of the matter, so without the orders of the generals, they have already raised the alert level on their own initiative.

In fact, what they didn't know was that it wasn't Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde who came by themselves, but that the entire imperial court only had a few idlers from them at this time. Others such as Li Ji and others had already devoted themselves to complicated work, and only Qin Qiong Waiting for a few people to have nothing to do in Yuezhou all day long, and they were in a panic. Now there happened to be such an incident. When others couldn't leave, Li Shimin could only send them two.

Moreover, the guesses of the wharf soldiers were not wrong, because this matter was indeed serious, and it could only be handled by two people of this level.

"Why did something go wrong?" Yuchi Jingde chanted this sentence from Wuzhuang Temple to the pier: "Brother Qin (Although Yuchi Jingde was not from Wagang, he has always respected Qin Qiong, so he also talked with Cheng Yao Jin is generally called the eldest brother), what do you think is going on here?"

Qin Qiong joked with a smile: "Didn't you hear what's going on? We were all present, and I didn't listen to a word more than you."

"Oh, my big brother, don't be fooled." Yuchi Jingde said distressedly: "You also know that brother, my brain is not easy to use. Although we hear the same amount of things, my comprehension ability is comparable to yours. ?"

Qin Qiong couldn't tease him anymore, so he had to patiently explain: "The Henghang is one of the cargo ships sent by the prince to the Spice Islands. Its full load displacement is as high as [-] tons. Such a huge ship appeared alone outside Yuezhou Port, and It’s dilapidated, if the search fleet hadn’t found it in time and provided help, I’m afraid they would have sunk outside the port, isn’t it clear what this means?”

"I do know this. The report of the Shipbuilding Department just now made it very clear. The Saren fleet encountered a powerful enemy and broke into the center of the storm on the way to escape. That's why it turned into this miserable appearance. These you Needless to say. What I want to ask now is, who are our enemies? How dare you attack our Datang fleet, isn't that too bold?"

"I really don't know about this. I'm not a god. How could I know? You're asking too much..." Qin Qiong smiled wryly and shook his head slowly. When he said this, his voice changed: "But patrolling According to the team's report, some of the enemy's corpses were kept on the Rampage, and some special marks were found on them, maybe we can open a breakthrough from here."

"That's right." Yuchi Jingde scratched his head, gritted his teeth and said, "However, these people are really brave. They dared to attack our Datang fleet. This time I will definitely not let them go."

"You?" Qin Qiong glanced at Yuchi Jingde suspiciously, shook his head and said, "No, no, the enemy is on an island, and if you want to trouble them, you have to use the navy, and you have to be on Liu Ren's track. What can you do as an army general? lively?"

"Why can't I..."

Chapter 932 The Tragic Rampant Number

Chapter 291 The Tragic Rampant Number

"Why can't I do it? Although I am in the army, I can also swim. I can swim better than His Majesty. Why can't I join the navy? Besides, even if I can't, my junior can do it. I Wouldn’t it be enough to change my family’s minor tune?” Hearing Qin Qiong say that he was not good enough, Yuchi Jingde was still very unconvinced at first, but he didn’t know why his mind turned around, and suddenly he became wise: “You But don't forget, my Xiaoda is the captain of the Dengzhou Fleet. The strength of the Dengzhou Fleet is no worse than that of the Yuezhou Fleet. Can I just let him come? And your Huaiyu, isn't he the same? The Deputy Commander of the Dengzhou Fleet? Letting the two of them help us vent our anger is much better than doing it ourselves... Besides, we have the ability to take the credit for going out to sea and destroying thieves. To outsiders?"

"This... makes sense..." Qin Qiong was a little moved when he heard that, Yuchi Jingde's words were correct, Yuchi Baolin and Liu Rengui were both commanders of the fleet, and the strength of the Dengzhou Fleet and the Yuezhou Fleet was not that different It is far away, and compared with the Yuezhou Fleet, the Dengzhou Fleet is an old-fashioned fleet (the Dengzhou Fleet was established more than ten years ago, but it does not have good equipment, so the statement is not obvious), and it is more qualified to take over the Yuezhou Fleet. This task... maybe, it seems that this matter can really be won. What Yu Chigong said is right, they are all elites of the Tang Dynasty, and no one is worse than anyone else. Why should I give up the credit that I have the ability to win?

"Forget it, we'll talk about this later. The most important thing for us now is to find out what happened to the Saren Fleet. Only after we figure it out can we take revenge." Qin Qiong was moved, but at least there was no benefit Deceiving his mind, he knew exactly what he should do at this time.

Yuchi Jingde agreed: "That's right... hey, the boat is approaching, let's hurry up."

While the two were talking, the Henghang had already begun to dock, Yuchi Jingde hurriedly ended the conversation, and began to focus on the Henghang—after all, this is the next topic, and all the clues are this On the ship, if they can't get useful information from this ship, then they can only pray that the rest of Saren's fleet can come back alive.

The Henghang had landed, but the first batch to disembark were not human beings... To be precise, they were not living people, but coffins one after another, and the people inside would naturally not be living people.

These coffins are very simple, they seem to have been made hastily at first glance, and the materials used are all ordinary ship planks. The production is very simple, and some places are not even sealed tightly. The stench of the entire pier was soaring.

But at this moment, no one cares about the stench all over the sky. All the people present are elite soldiers who came down from the battlefield. Although the stench on the pier is strong, it is much better than the tragic battlefield. Are you facing it? No one cares about a little smell.

But as time went by, everyone's brows were still deeply frowned—there are too many coffins, right?

It has been a full hour since the first coffin was lifted down, and the coffin has not been lifted yet, and it seems that there are still many behind-of course, it is difficult to carry the coffin to disembark, and one coffin needs a lot of time. It took 2 minutes to put it down, but there are already more than 60 coffins, and it is not over yet. How many people have been lost on the Hengxing?

Finally, while everyone was waiting anxiously, another full hour passed before the last coffin was lifted out. A total of 130 six coffins represented 130 six human lives—this is a bit too tragic ?

How many people are there in the entire Hengxing?There are only 300 people, and this time the number of employees has been reduced by half. What have they experienced?

After the coffin was carried down, the wounded came next. The speed of disembarkation of the wounded was much faster, but there were more than 50 people, and all of them were missing arms and legs. There were very few wounded who were truly intact—see At this point, Qin Qiong suddenly understood something. Perhaps there were not so many dead people on the Rampage at the beginning, but a sudden battle caused a sharp increase in the number of wounded. In addition, there was no effective anti-inflammatory means on board, so a large number of soldiers died. The wound was inflamed and died, and the rest had to undergo amputation in time to survive...

Thinking of this, Qin Qiong's heart inevitably became heavier...

It wasn't until the wounded disembarked that it was the turn of the living to disembark. Similarly, their situation was not much better...

"Poor thing." With everything in front of him, even Yuchi Jingde couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The 300 people on the ship were reduced by half, and the remaining third was completely disabled. If the situation were placed on the battlefield, this army would have collapsed long ago, but the ship in front of it not only did not collapse, but returned to Lingnan alive. The captain became a little curious. He was able to stabilize the morale of the army under such circumstances and brought the whole ship back alive. This person is definitely not simple. However, it is no problem to train them to become the pillars of the country.

"Mo Wuwei, the first mate of the subordinate Hengxing, has met the two princes." Just as the two were sighing, a young man with a little immature appeared in front of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde.

"Are you the first mate?" Qin Qiong asked dissatisfiedly when he saw this young man who was younger than his son, "Where is your captain? Why didn't he show up?"

"The captain has already died." When Mo Wuwei mentioned the captain, his voice could not help but be a little sad: "We encountered the enemy that day. The captain led us to fight the enemy bravely, but fell into the siege of the enemy... Finally, even All the dead bodies were left behind. These days, the subordinates led everyone to struggle hard. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the storm blew us to the South China Sea, so we were able to return to Yuezhou alive..."

"Let's not talk about these things, you should talk about what's going on." Yuchi Jingde said impatiently: "Your Majesty and all civil and military officials are waiting for your news. Who is the enemy? Who are you?" How was it attacked? Do you have any other ships alive?..."

Just as Mo Wuwei was about to answer, Qin Qiong interrupted: "Don't talk about this kind of thing here, and His Majesty is already waiting impatiently, you should just follow us to see His Majesty."

Chapter 933 Peerless Fierce Soldier + Horrified Two People

Chapter 292 Peerless Soldier + Frightened Two

"Yes, I obey." Mo Wuwei said respectfully: "In addition, I also ask the two princes. My brothers have not closed their eyes for several days and are already exhausted. Please also invite the two princes." They can be allowed to rest, and only the subordinates can report the matter after the incident.”

"This request is very reasonable, but unfortunately I can't agree to you." Hearing Mo Wuwei's request, Qin Qiong first approved, but then refused in a slightly apologetic tone: "Before we came, Your Majesty had ordered After that, everything on the Merchant Ship Rampage must be brought to him, even the dead must be inspected by him before they can be buried, so I'm sorry, I really want you to rest, but I'll wait until I see His Majesty Well, after talking about your experience, His Majesty will naturally let you have a good rest."

"Yes, thank you two dukes." Qin Qiong had already said this, what else could Mo Wuwei say?What's more, he also wanted to find out who the enemy who attacked him was.As for the rest of the brothers - Dahai has survived for such a long time, do you still care about such a little time?

And Mo Wuwei knew very well that not only himself, everyone wanted to find out the identity of the enemy, otherwise they would not be reconciled even if they died. Now that they had the opportunity to find out the identity of the enemy, they would understand even if they had to take a rest later.

As the last living person stepped off the "Landscape", two teams of soldiers entered the "Landscape" and began to carry the things on the ship-in fact, there was nothing on the ship, because as the ship was damaged, the cabin was flooded with water. The remediation was barely repaired, but it would break at any time. Therefore, in order to reduce the weight of the Hengxing and also to reduce the draft, most of the things on the ship had already been abandoned. Not only the harvest of this trip, but also a large amount of food and water. After keeping enough numbers to go back to Datang, the rest were thrown into the sea by Mo Wuwei.

Therefore, at this time, apart from the crew, there are only some necessary ship repair tools and ship repair materials, and the last thing they captured during this trip, that is, the enemy's body that was deliberately kept in order to find out the identity of the enemy. and weapons too.

"My lord, this is the weapon used by our enemy. It is very similar to our equipment." After a box was lifted down, Mo Wuwei immediately introduced: "Their weapons are actually similar to ours. The subordinates didn't see anything, the two dukes are well-informed, maybe they might know each other."

Qin Qiong casually picked up a knife and took a closer look, then exchanged a glance with Yu Chigong, then put the knife down, shook his head and said: "They are all standard weapons from the former Sui Dynasty, and there are many weapons left over from the former Sui Dynasty to the present. It doesn't explain anything."

"That's right, in fact, the production of weapons in the pre-Sui Dynasty was very high, and many soldiers in the current government are still using the weapons of the Sui Dynasty." Yuchi Jingde added: "If only relying on this weapon If so, then we really can’t see anything.”

"And this." Mo Wuwei was not disappointed, but turned around and opened another box, and took out a strange weapon: "This is a leader of the opponent that our captain killed, and it is precisely because of this person that he was killed. The enemy just became crazy, and they aimed at our captain, which eventually caused the captain to fall into a tight siege and died in battle... After the captain died in battle, we all panicked, and we fought and retreated, but we encountered a big storm again. Most of the dead bodies were swept away by the strong wind, including the dead bodies of the man and the captain, and we rescued them in time, leaving only this weapon.”

"This..." Sure enough, when Qin Qiong saw this weapon, his pupils shrank immediately: "Jingde, come and see, is it this?"

"How did this thing appear here? Isn't it..." Yuchi Jingde exclaimed: "Impossible, shouldn't they have been wiped out with the demise of the former Sui Dynasty? Why did they reappear?"
