Chapter 290: The Return of the Rampant Number As the ship got closer and closer, the condition of the ship came into everyone's eyes - the hull was basically free of holes, it was patched up and down, the mast tilted and could fall down at any time, the mainsail had a big hole, although it had been repaired, it was not perfectly repaired, and even the patches after the repair began to crack......
Needless to guess, the foreman had determined that the ship had indeed been shipwrecked, and that it was very miserable.
According to the estimation of the old man on the dock, 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 can actually hit the storm head-on, how poor is the quality of this navigator?
To say that they were lucky enough to hit the center of the storm and survive and get back to the dock safely is indeed a stroke of great luck.
As soon as they saw this situation, the originally energetic coolies suddenly lost their spirits, but they still helped to call the boatmen and doctors, and even more prepared tools and materials - this is the rule of people who beg for a life at sea, the sea is wide and can accommodate all things, and people who beg for a living at sea should also learn this kind of broad-mindedness, and when they meet others in distress at sea, as long as they can help, they must not turn a blind eye, after all, if you save them today, you will be rescued tomorrow if you have an accident, and it can be regarded as saving merit for yourself.
The people who beg for a living on the dock are also half the people of the sea, and of course they will abide by this rule, not to mention that even if there is no such rule, from the perspective of humanitarianism, such behavior is worth encouraging. …… The foreman's previous prediction was correct, they would not be able to get a day of life to-day, because less than a quarter of an hour after the wrecked ship appeared, and even before the wrecked ship had even docked, a troop of troops came to the docks, sealed the docks, and drove everyone away.
Fortunately, the army is still reasonable, knowing that it is not easy for people on the dock, so each person has a compensation of fifty big dollars, although it is not as good as a day's income, but don't forget, this is something they get without effort, and they still have a day to find other jobs - now Yuezhou City is under construction, and there are many jobs with daily wages, even if it is not as much as carrying a bag on the dock for a day, but forty or fifty copper plates can still be obtained, plus these fifty wen, It's more profitable than carrying bags on the dock.
Not only the No. 1 port, but also the adjacent No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 ports were all under martial law, and no onlookers were allowed within a radius of one mile.
Then Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong appeared together, and the tense atmosphere was pushed to the peak......
These two are the real bigwigs in the army, the first and second existence of the Tang Dynasty, the well-deserved God of War of the Tang Dynasty, the object of the most worship of all the Tang Dynasty soldiers - the army has always respected heroes, especially the strong, so don't look at Li Jing and Li Ji are the military gods of the Tang Dynasty, but if you really want to talk about the prestige of the soldiers, Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde are completely destroyed by the two of them.
As soon as the soldiers who were still full of resentment saw these two, their morale immediately increased by three levels, and the so-called resentment was long gone, and they even took the initiative to raise the level of martial law to the peak - not to show it to the two gods of war, but to ......
There were no fools present, these two bigwigs were too desperate in the early years, and the loss of qi and blood was serious, and they were basically in a state of semi-retirement, so they could let these two appear at the same time, which in itself already showed the seriousness of the matter, so they had already taken the initiative to raise the alert level without the generals' orders.
In fact, what they didn't know was that it was not Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde who came by themselves, but that the entire imperial court only needed a few idlers at this time, and others such as Li Ji and others had already been involved in complicated work, and only Qin Qiong and a few others had nothing to do in Yuezhou all day long, and they were idle and panicked, and now there happened to be such a thing, and in the case that others couldn't leave, Li Shimin could naturally only send the two of them.
And the dock soldiers guessed correctly, because this matter is indeed quite serious, and it can only be handled by the two of them.
"Okay, why did it go wrong?"
This sentence Wei Chi Jingde has been chanting from Wuzhuang Guan to the dock: "Brother Qin (although Wei Chi Jingde is not from Wagang, he has always respected Qin Qiong, so he is also called the eldest brother like Cheng Yanjin), what do you say is going on?"
” Qin Qiong smiled and teased: "Didn't you hear everything going on?"
We're all here, and I haven't heard a word more than you. ” "Oh, my big brother, don't sell it."
Wei Chi Jingde said bitterly: "You also know that my brother and I have a bad brain, although we have heard the same things, but can my comprehension ability be compared to yours?"
” Qin Qiong didn't want to tease him anymore, so he had to explain patiently: "The Hengxing is one of the cargo ships sent by the prince to the Spice Islands, with a full load displacement of up to 2,800 tons, such a giant ship actually appeared outside the port of Yuezhou alone, and it was in tatters, if the search fleet hadn't discovered it in time and provided help, I am afraid that they would have sunk outside the port, doesn't this mean that it is already very clear?"
” "I know this, as the report from the City Ship Division just now has made it very clear, that the Salen fleet encountered a powerful enemy, and broke into the center of the storm on the way to escape, so it became the miserable state it is now, you don't need to say this.
What I want to ask now is, who are our enemies?
Dare to attack my Datang fleet, this is also bold, right?
” "I really don't know this, I'm not an immortal, how could I know?
What are you asking about......
Qin Qiong smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly, and his voice changed when he said this: "However, the report of the patrol team said that some of the enemy's corpses were kept on the rampant number, and some special marks were found on them, maybe we can open a breakthrough from here." ” "That's right."
Wei Chi Jingde scratched his head, gritted his teeth and said: "But these people are really daring, they actually dare to attack our Datang fleet, this time I will definitely not let them go." ” "You?"
Qin Qiong glanced at Wei Chi Jingde suspiciously, shook his head and said: "No, no, the enemy is on the island, if you want to find trouble with them, you have to use the navy, you have to be on the track of Liu Ren, what are you doing with an army general?"
” "Why can't I do it......"
