This first emperor is awesome
Page 158
It's so shameless, do I really want to trust his integrity?
Mao Dun was shaken suddenly, but finally sighed, he had no other choice.
"Retire immediately, Your Majesty cherishes it."
Mao Dun stood up, cupped his hands, and left resolutely.
Looking at Mao Dun's leaving back, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up.
It doesn't matter whether Maodun fulfills the contract or not. Once Daqin takes action on the grassland, it will definitely push the grassland across the grassland with the momentum of autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
This Mao Dun is a wonderful person, with foresight, scheming, and courage, but it is a pity that he met me.
He thought that if he stayed away from the place beyond the reach of the Great Qin, he would be free.
It's so naive, it's according to common sense, but can Da Qin use common sense to deduce it?
If he was next to Da Qin again in the future, how would he feel?
Chapter 173 The Imperial Ocean Fleet Arrived in the Indian Continent
On the magnificent sea, hundreds of large ships brave the wind and waves, and set sail for a long voyage.
On the big boat, Fusu, Wangli, Mengzhan, and Baihong were sitting in the cabin, all of them had ugly faces.
A long time at sea has left them with dark skin and white lips.
"My eldest son, if we don't find the Indian continent, we will soon run out of food."
Wang Li said worriedly.
"How much food and grass is there? How many days can it last?"
Fusu also had a pale face, and said with a frown.
"We have been wandering at sea all the way from Pocket State for nearly two years, and we haven't found the Indian mainland yet."
"Nine out of ten of the [-] supply ships are empty, and there are less than [-] shi of grain and grass, and all the livestock and dried meat have been exhausted."
"It can last another month or two at most. If we still can't find the Indian continent on the nautical chart, we will all be buried in the sea."
Meng Zhan said, although Fusu is in charge of logistics in name, but the eldest son is in charge of supervising the army, no one will take this seriously and let Fusu do this kind of thing.
Therefore, almost all the logistical supplies are in charge of Meng Zhan.
"We have been heading east all the way since we left the seaport of Pocket State. Why did we deviate so far?"
Fusu frowned, looked at the nautical chart on the table, and said in confusion.
"Young Master, although we know the direction, there is a vast sea, and the difference is thousands of miles away. In addition, due to the influence of the monsoon and ocean currents, it is reasonable to deviate."
"A storm was encountered on the way, and the fleet was blown away from the original route by the storm. We simply had a sextant and a compass, and re-planned the route. It should be soon."

Bai Hong also looked at the nautical chart, frowning.
"It's been two years, but fortunately the journey was safe and sound."
"It's just that more and more soldiers are suffering from sepsis. They should have died on the battlefield instead of dying from these diseases."
Having said that, Wang Li's eyes turned red, and pain appeared on his face.
"Is there not enough bean sprouts?"
Fusu questioned, when the emperor came here, he sent thousands of Shishu (soybeans, which are specially used to ferment bean sprouts during sea voyages, as a vegetable supplement, and to prevent sepsis.
"In the past two years, more and more soldiers have suffered from sepsis, and we don't have many beans anymore."
Meng Zhan sighed.
In another two months, not only will they run out of food, but even the beans to prevent sepsis will be exhausted, and all kinds of herbal medicines will be gone. It is almost suffocating.
"Where are we now?"
Fusu pointed to the nautical chart and questioned.
"My eldest son, we have not found any islands whose orientation can be determined after passing through the seaport of Rock County [Mania] and New Zealand [New Zealand] from the Imperial Navy's Bag Island, so according to the itinerary, we should be far from the Indian mainland. Not far away."
Wang Li pointed to the nautical chart and looked at the continent with piercing eyes.
"Every time I say this, how far is not far? One hundred miles? One thousand miles? Or ten thousand miles?"
Bai Hong curled his lips, apparently scoffed at Wang Li's words, he was tired of hearing those words.
"You are capable, so tell me where we have been?"
Wang Li didn't hesitate immediately, and said back.
"I think we're lost, and we're still dangling in the sea. Otherwise, why haven't we arrived at the route that was originally planned for a year?"
Bai Hong glared at Wang Li, with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"enough."
Although Fusu has a good temper, he also knows that internal strife should be stopped at this time.
He slapped the wooden table hard, and said angrily.
"Eldest son, calm down."
Wang Li, Meng Zhan, and Bai Hong were taken aback by Fusu. They had known the eldest son for so many years, and this was the first time they saw him get angry.
"We will shoulder the emperor's orders, and carry the hope of His Majesty and the whole country's subjects, across the ocean."
"At this time of crisis, we should advance and retreat together, and share the same spirit. How can brothers fight against each other?"
Fu Su cast a glance at Wang Li and Bai Hong, and shouted sharply.
"The final general is confused, thank you for your teaching, Eldest Young Master."
Although Wang Li and Bai Hong didn't see each other well, they still respected Fu Su very much.
Just as Fu Su was about to comfort the two of them, suddenly there were bursts of cheers outside the cabin.
Everyone was stunned, what's going on?
At this moment, a herald hurried in, with a bright smile on his face, he said, "Young Master, we have arrived, the Indian Continent has arrived."
Without saying a word, Fusu stood up directly, and hurriedly walked outside.
Wang Li, Meng Zhan, and Bai Hong followed closely behind.
Standing on the observation deck, Fusu looked at the hazy skyline in the distance, the dark shadow.
The pupils are shining with hope, is it really here this time?
For the past two years, he had been looking forward to this moment for too long.
With the huge fleet, riding the wind and waves, the dark shadows in the distance gradually became clear.
"It's here, it's here, it's here."
"Great, we're finally here."
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years, Great Qin ten thousand years."
Someone shouted, and soon hundreds of large ships, more than 2 soldiers and sailors shouted in unison.
Many people rejoiced, like happy children.
Soon, the corners of many people's eyes became moist and wept with joy.
In the past two years, they have carried too much, and they have also endured too much suffering.
When the dawn of victory came, it made them feel a little unreal.
Fusu looked at the extremely happy soldiers, his eyes were moist, and he murmured in his heart: "Father, my son has done it, have you seen it? It won't be long before the imperial fleet will carry the hope of the Great Qin Empire, Come back full."
The three of Wang Li also burst into tears, staring at this strange land in the distance with great excitement.
And on the Indian continent in the distance, there are also many aborigines who are not fully clothed and their faces are smeared with colorful mud. They gather by the sea and look at the huge fleet floating in the sea.
There were screams from each of them, and they were a little restless.
Some expectations, what is the unexpected guest in the sea?
Is it a miracle?
They also go fishing in the sea, but besides miracles, they can't find any other adjectives for such a big boat.
Is this the coming of the sea god?
Not long after, the leader of their tribe and the great wizard also came.
The great wizard put down the altar, chanting ancient bitter and incomprehensible incantations, and kept beating his body.
The melodious and ancient melody sounded from the bone instrument, and after a long time, the great wizard's body twitched violently for a while.
"The people of Alutab, the great sea god sent the god's emissary, they are the sons of the sea, the sea god's heavenly crowd."
"They came from the remote Sea God Palace and brought God's revelation and God's will to Alutab."
"In order to welcome the great envoy, give your most revered cheers and devotion, and wait for the dawn of dawn!"
The great wizard roared loudly, his voice was sharp and piercing.
Chapter 174 Is Wang Jian gone?
Protectorate
The old and weak Wang Jian was lying on the couch, no longer the style of the past, and he looked dying.
During this period of time, Ying Yuanman has been taking care of Wang Jian. A few days ago, the old general had lost consciousness and was in a daze.
He keeps talking about his son Wang Ben and his grandson Wang Li, but Wang Ben has a heavy responsibility to guard the western border.
And Wang Li also traveled across the ocean for more than two years, and there was no news.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
The same is true for not only the emperor, but also the courtiers who are honored and favored for a lifetime.
They enjoy the glory that ordinary people cannot enjoy, and they must also assume their corresponding responsibilities.
The old general Wang was a hero for the first time, and made countless immortal military exploits, but he was about to die in his later years, and besides himself, he had no heirs to guard his side.
"Li'er, you are back!"
"Come to grandfather, let grandfather have a good look."
Just when Ying Yuanman was distracted, Wang Jian's eyes widened suddenly, he turned over and sat up, looked at Ying Yuanman in front of him, and said with a kind smile on his face.
Ying Yuanman was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Old General, I am Yuanman!"
"Yuanman"
"Are you the eldest princess?"
Wang Jian was stunned, then rubbed his cloudy old eyes, and said in doubt.
"That's right! It's me, Yuan Man. General Wang Li went to sea and hasn't come here yet."
Ying Yuanman said in a complicated mood, she and Wang Jian have been respecting each other as guests for many years, there is no so-called relationship between men and women at all, it is more like a teacher and a friend.
"Old eyes are dizzy and delirious."
"Thank you, Princess, for taking care of me during this time."
Wang Jian coughed heavily, then seemed to lose all energy and lay down slowly.
"As the wife of an old general, this is Yuanman's duty."
Ying Yuanman sighed, feeling a little heavy.
Wang Jian stretched out his trembling right hand, pointed to a delicate box in front of the bed and said, "There are three letters in here, one for you, one for Ben'er, and one for Li'er cough cough cough!"
Please help, the app can steal book tickets like stealing vegetables. Come and steal your friends' book tickets and vote for my book.
After saying this, Wang Jian gasped for breath as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"The old general should cultivate himself more. It's better to talk less. Yuan Man immediately sent someone to invite the imperial physician."
Seeing that Wang Jian's condition seemed to be very bad, Ying Yuanman said anxiously.
