Water Margin people

“Let’s add a few more hospitals later!”

Sun Lei shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't just refuse to admit a patient.

The population of Liangshan City today has reached several million, and one hospital obviously cannot meet the needs of this city.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

An Daoquan thanked them quickly. They were all doctors and they hated to see patients not getting treatment.

Sun Lei talked about hospital matters for a long time before taking his people away.

"The burden on your shoulders has become heavier!"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said.

"Your Majesty wants me to protect these doctors?"

Yue Fei looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Yes, you have seen that they are good at treating diseases, but their thinking is a bit rigid, and they may act impulsively. You have to watch out!"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said, from the conversation just now, it can be heard that some doctors have a tendency to be saintly and live in a paradise, which is not allowed in the army.

If this matter was ignored, it would cause serious problems in the West where the Black Death was raging, and might even threaten the safety of the army.

"Your Majesty, this is not going to be easy. They will come into contact with those people in the West!"

Yue Fei was a little worried. If these people just went to the West to have a look, it would be easy to deal with. But these people were going to get treatment, which would inevitably lead to contact with Westerners. It would be difficult to control the kindness of these doctors, and he couldn't just use force against them.

"I didn't ask you to take care of it directly. Don't we have military doctors in the army? You can let them contact you, and you are only responsible for safety!"

Sun Lei looked at Yue Fei and said that he certainly knew that these things were not easy to handle, so he specifically reminded him.

"I understand! With these doctors, our army will be more confident!"

Yue Fei smiled and saluted, saying that the doctor could not only test the knife on Westerners, but also ensure their safety.

"As long as you understand!"

Sun Lei nodded. This was also one of his purposes.

Inside Liangshan City.

Everything is being prepared in full swing.

Shiploads of supplies were brought in from all over the place and then transported to the mouth of the Yangtze River. Today's seagoing ships are too large to enter inland rivers, let alone sail to Liangshan Lake.

Li Jun and Ruan Xiaoqi were finally ready.

"This sailing plan is feasible!"

Sun Lei looked at the sailing plan handed over and nodded. This voyage is expected to take four months. Because many sea areas are unknown, the ship dare not go too fast, and a ship is needed ahead to lead the way and survey for reefs.

“But you have to be careful. Reefs and the like are minor issues. They only involve the loss of some ships. The biggest threat is probably wind and waves. Some places have strong winds and waves all year round. Even our ships have to be careful.

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoqi and Li Jun and said that he remembered that the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa was a notoriously dangerous sea area. It was the confluence of two oceans and the boundary between the sea and the land. There were strong winds, heavy fog and waves all year round.

"Sir, you understand!"

Li Jun saluted and said that he had extensive experience in ocean sailing and knew that many sea areas were extremely dangerous.

"How many people are you planning to take on the boat?"

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and asked, there were a lot of people going out this time, and according to his idea, only some of the navy would be allowed to sail around, and most people would get off the ship in the Red Sea and wait.

"Your Majesty, our idea is to have all the troops sail over there, so we can train the soldiers!"

Yue Fei said.

"I mean the same thing!"

Hua Rong also spoke up and this time they would lead the troops.

"What do you think?" Sun Lei asked Ruan Xiaoqi and Li Jun, both of whom had rich sailing experience.

Ruan Xiaoqi didn't say anything, but just glanced at Li Jun and signaled to Li Jun that he knew very well that the farthest distance he had sailed was from the Central Plains to the Red Sea. This sea area was actually not dangerous, and merchants from various countries had already explored the sea route.

But the unknown waters are different. There are too many dangers there, and Ruan Xiaoqi doesn’t know how to deal with them.

"I don't think it's appropriate!"

Li Jun bowed his head and saluted.

Yue Fei, Hua Rong and others all looked at Li Jun. They didn't expect Li Jun to refuse to be on the same boat.

"Tell me about it!"

Sun Lei nodded.

"There are all kinds of dangers in unknown waters, but the obvious dangers are easy to avoid. The fog will eventually dissipate, the storm will eventually pass, and the reefs can be carefully explored."

"But it would be very lonely. Sailing on the open sea without a port to stop at, it might take three months for the soldier to reach the shore, and he wouldn't be able to see outsiders. This would be a certain psychological burden for the soldier."

"Another factor is the physical condition. When sailing in the open sea, one has to endure the wind and waves. There is no port to take shelter. Soldiers who are not soldiers who have been at sea for years simply cannot bear the turbulence!"

"In the past, the army had missions. If they were to travel to a destination after a bumpy ride, the soldiers would be used to the shaking of the sea and it would take them several days to adapt to the land environment. This would also have an impact on combat."

Li Jun expressed his thoughts. The long sea voyage was full of uncertainties. The plan was for four months, but in reality it would take half a year or even longer. If the soldiers were on the sea, the war would have to be postponed indefinitely.

"Is that so?"

Yue Fei and Hua Rong both nodded in understanding. The unknown sea area of ​​tens of thousands of miles was indeed full of uncertainties, and they had a heavy task to do and could not waste time. Even if they did not have warships, they could also use the warships converted from merchant ships to kill their way through.

"What do you think?"

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take my men to wait at the Red Sea Fortress first. They are also facing a plague attack from the Arabs. We can help Han Shizhong there!"

Xiao Jiasui said that if they took a boat they would not be able to do anything for a long time, so it would be better for them to go to the Red Sea first to adapt. After all, no one had ever fought this kind of war before, and they were also crossing the river by feeling the stones.

"I am willing to follow the navy around, draw sea charts, and record the scenery along the way."

Xu Guanzhong said that he would not be able to help much if he went to the Red Sea, and it would be better to draw a sea chart and find the end of the ocean.

"Then leave 5,000 sailors to sail around the area, and the rest will disembark in the Red Sea."

Sun Lei made a decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone saluted.

A few days later, at Liangshan Lake, the ships slowly headed south, and Emperor Sun Lei also brought his entire family on a dragon boat to join the group.

"Take a boat! Take a boat!"

The children were very excited to go out and they cheered and played on the deck.

"Brother, I want to go too!"

Wu Song looked at the ships ahead with envy. He also wanted to join the army, but he was not on the list this time.

"This isn't a pure battle, you won't be able to help!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, if it was a tough battle, Wu Song would definitely have no problem, but this time it was a battle and he was sick, so Wu Song couldn't do the job.

"Erlang, I didn't go there either!"

Lu Zhishen said.

"Master, I was going out!"

Wu Song said that if those people from the underworld hadn't caused trouble, he would be the governor of the Chola Kingdom now. (End of this chapter)
