Chapter 616: The Worried Zhou Heng

Some people fight for a little food, while others live comfortably in a clean house and are picky about food.

Maybe this is what life is like.

"What are you doing? Separate yourself. If you start fighting again, I'll throw you all into the water!"

Zhou Heng led a team of soldiers and kicked away a man who was snatching food from a child.

Then he protected the child behind him and spoke sternly.

Seeing this, the other soldiers pointed their muskets at the man and waited for Zhou Heng's order.

Since they boarded the ship, all supplies were distributed by the royal family, except for the other ship, of course.

Therefore, all everyone can get is enough food to survive.

For this reason, the security situation on the ship also made Zhou Heng extremely anxious!

Although he arranged a large number of soldiers to maintain order and crack down on the strongmen.

But on such large ships, with so many soldiers, they were all more or less slack, so various problems gradually arose.

The child looked at Zhou Heng with timid eyes, and then looked at the person who was knocked to the ground with fear.

He knew that once this official left, he would be left with an even more cruel life.

"Sir, please stop fighting!"

Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak to Zhou Heng.

"Well, he is your relative?"

The boy shook his head!

"do you know him?"

The boy still shook his head.

At this time, a soldier came close to Zhou Heng's ear and said, "Your Majesty, we can save him temporarily, but we can't save him forever."

Zhou Heng turned his head after hearing this and looked at the sergeant: "Detain this man and bring the child with you. You and I will talk next to each other."

In fact, he knew in his heart that he had just ascended the throne, and no matter how reluctant he was, he had to be the emperor.

Therefore, he had to do something in a short period of time to convince the people.

Otherwise, his road will become more and more difficult as time goes by.

"You mean, if we don't have a strong punishment, this child will be tortured even more inhumanely when he returns."

Zhou Heng pulled the soldier aside and asked.

"Your Majesty, we don't have enough manpower. Although the territory is not large, there are many ships. Moreover, everyone has gone through a great disaster and seems to be somewhat...some are not afraid of the imperial power, so!"

Zhou Heng nodded after listening. The ones left behind were only more than 10,000 elites in Beijing, while the other soldiers boarded another large ship to be responsible for the security of the periphery.

These more than 10,000 people are mainly responsible for the royal safety, and there are currently insufficient manpower to manage these refugees.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng looked in the direction of the royal ship, then turned his head and looked at the ship of the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce.

Then, he left everyone behind and strode towards the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce.

"Chu Er pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Brother Chu, please stand up quickly. There is no need for us to be polite!"

Chu Er was a little confused, thinking, didn't you call your godfather your sworn brother? Why do you call me brother too? Isn't there a generation difference between them?

But he did not say that, instead he asked: "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

"Brother Chu, I have just ascended the throne, so I need your help in many areas."

When Chu Er heard this, he thought to himself, no wonder he was so polite, it turned out he wanted something.

So he said indifferently: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Whatever you need, as long as I, Chu Er, can make the decision, I will definitely not refuse."

"Okay, I need one hundred of your soldiers to protect the royal family at all times. Also, please give me some food."

When Chu Er heard this, he thought that the first thing was easy to deal with. Lending these soldiers to him would be a piece of cake for the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce.

But when it comes to food, you have to consider it carefully.

After all, he didn't know whether his godfather had any surplus food.

Maybe it's waiting for me to come over and supply it.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the personnel, but as for the food, I don't have much, so I can only give you a small portion. Please don't mind."

After getting Chu Er's affirmation, Zhou Heng bowed to him, turned around, left the transport ship and returned to his own place.

After a while, Chu Er brought a hundred machine gunners, each carrying a bag with about 20 kilograms of food on his shoulder, and handed it to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng was not dissatisfied with this at all. After all, in this broken world, if others were able to give him face, it was already enough respect.

Even a fool knows that food is more expensive than gold at the moment. He would be content that Chu Er could give him these two thousand kilograms.

After seeing Chu Er off, Zhou Heng summoned several ministers and began to discuss matters.

Since Zhou Shixun was protected by a hundred machine gunners, he planned to mobilize most of his forces to maintain order on the ship.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came out, it was protested by a number of ministers.

They said that the safety of the royal family was the most important thing, and protecting the foundation of Daxia was the most important thing.

Zhou Heng almost slammed the table and cursed after hearing this. The whole world is gone, what about the foundation of Da Xia?

Aren’t the foundation of Daxia the people who can create value?

Royal security, those soldiers holding that super weapon didn’t see it, let them be prepared, a hundred people can kill thousands of people.

So he stood up and said, "I have made up my mind, no need to discuss it further!"

"If you can't even protect the people, what's the point of protecting the foundation of Daxia? Just disband!"

After saying this, he went out with a general, and in less than an hour, he divided the more than 10,000 people who were protecting the royal family into 8,000 people, and stationed them on each ship with weapons in hand.

Moreover, in order to deter others, the man who stole the children's food was hung on the transport ship and publicly executed.

He believed that with such a powerful approach, public security on the ship would be much better.

But we have to strike a balance. After all, when we are escaping, who knows how many strong men are on the ship.

Once their livelihood is cut off, some will rise up in rebellion.

Therefore, Zhou Heng had hardly any rest in the past two or three days, and was busy with these trivial matters all day long.

Finally, on the third day, he saw a piece of "land" appearing in the distance ahead.

That’s right, a piece of “land” built with transport ships.

So he rushed to the bow of the boat in ecstasy, looked for a while, then turned around and ran towards Chu Er again.

"Brother Chu, have we reached my brother's territory?"

"Well, Your Majesty, I should call you uncle. From now on, please just call me by my name!"

"Yes, I have arrived at my godfather's place. I will contact him after I get closer. Godfather will definitely welcome your majesty's arrival."

Zhou Heng looked at Chu Er with joy, thinking that as long as his sworn brother was around, all the bad things in the world would become easy.
