Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 845 Ghost Ship
Seeing Li Gang's angry appearance, Zhao Huan laughed out loud. It was exactly the same as when he first found out.

"Don't worry, we can let the arrows fly for a while. The problem of the Yongding Army Road is just a disease of ringworm. It is rotten, and it has been rotten for so many years. Compared with the war in the north, the battle on the Yongding Army Road does not need to be rushed for a while. " Zhao Huan also wanted to understand, the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction, naturally the main contradiction must be resolved.

Right now, it is even more important to prevent the Jin people from taking down the tribes in Mobei and forming the Northern Nomadic Great Alliance.

If Xixia and Yongding military roads took some time off, they would hug grass and beat rabbits, and it would be solved, and it would not become a serious problem.

Li Gang thought about it carefully, and still gritted his teeth and murmured that it was a national traitor, and it was not easy to persuade the officials to settle down first and then fight outside.

"What about you, send a letter to Orihiko, the wording can be stricter, and the officials found out about selling arms. The officials were very angry, beat and beat, and waited to see their reaction. The letter can go slowly and talk about it. Just kidding, one year has passed, and next year they won't dare to ask for it." Zhao Huan set the tone for this matter.

The reason why Zhao Huan made such a decision was because of his consistent ruling philosophy, that is, first fight against the outside world and then secure the inside.

This logic is very simple, if you can fight against the outside world, Anne is naturally no problem.

It has been six years since Zhao Huan became emperor, and he knew from the beginning to the end that his qualifications were mediocre. He could only refer to the librarian when it came to the route.

He didn't want to take Da Song into the ditch because of his incompetence.

"Yes." After Li Gang learned of the information in the hands of the officials, he didn't bother to ask for the money, and he really gave it. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

Li Gang took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "Yan Shangao of Tangkou City's shipping department wrote a letter, saying that King Toba of the Japanese kingdom asked for help, saying that the plague was raging and delayed the spring plowing. Song can give some food. King Toba said that the country of Wa is not afraid of plague, but famine."

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said, "Last time, King Toba paid 3000 million taels of money for his life. The money that King Toba offered last time should be converted into grain and given to him, not too much and not too little. , I don’t want to see Japanese pirates.”

"Okay." Li Gang nodded.

In Zhao Huan's hand, there is only one notebook, with a few words, but a grain of sand in history, falling on a person's head, is like a mountain.

The wind in Shanghai Pu today is strong, and the sea wind is howling, bringing a relatively dilapidated ship.

Yan Shangao looked at the strange and dilapidated ship with horror in his eyes!
"Fire the cannon! Let the cannon go! Call our people back! Let the cannon go!" Yan Shangao rushed towards the fort, grabbing his clothes.

He personally put in the hollow shells and ignited the gunpowder, even if it was a violent roar that rang in his ears, even if it was the loud noise that made his head buzz, even if it was the lingering smoke that made his breathing difficult .He couldn't care less.

Yan Shangao had been holding the binoculars all the time, and when he watched the ship of the Song Haijian Division turn back on the sea, he was relieved, and his whole body collapsed on the ground.

Tian Cailiang looked at the appearance of his county magistrate, feeling strange for a while, and asked, "Why is Yan magistrate so flustered?"

"This is a ghost ship rumored by maritime merchants. Can I not panic?!" Yan Shangao wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, the navy of the Marine Surveillance Department did not board the ship for inspection, otherwise the three small boats of the Marine Surveillance Department would be dead. Dozens of people died without a place to bury them.

"Ghost ship?" Tian Cailiang almost sat down on the ground in fright!

The ghost ship is a rumor among the sea merchants of the Song Dynasty. It is said that on the sea route between Tangkou and Wa Kingdom, there will often be some ships drifting with the current, and these ships are often ships from the Wa Kingdom.

These ships have lost their vitality. If someone has evil thoughts and boards the ship to take advantage, within a few days after returning, his whole body will be red like shrimp, his armpits and other places will be abnormally swollen, and he will bleed to death in the end!

And it will bring the whole ship's people sick. In the end, when encountering this kind of ghost ship, no one in the sea merchants dares to board the ship for inspection and hide away.

Tian Cailiang sat on the ground and said with no regard for face and decency: "Send a small boat with several fuel tanks and burn this boat! It is absolutely not allowed to dock, absolutely not!"

Tian Cailiang knew clearly that it was the plague, and the fleas on the ship were the main way for the plague to spread. This was the experience gained from the emperor's brother-in-law Zhu Xiaosun, of course he knew it well.

"Hurry up! Go move the Menghuo oil tank!" Yan Shan rushed to the pier like Gao Fei, and after Tian Cailiang got the Menghuo oil tank, he headed for the Thousand Material Ghost Ship.

In the unspoken rules of Song Dynasty officials, since Yue Fei started the wave of "follow me", any official who "follow me" will never get an evaluation above the middle and upper evaluations in the three-year evaluation.

Yan Shangao watched more than a dozen small boats with hundreds of materials roasting around the ghost ship, and finally he felt relieved.

It was the first time for the ghost ship to dock, and the Marine Surveillance Department went to board the ship for inspection according to the previous isolation regulations. The operation was not irregular, but mainly due to inexperience. Things, there is experience.

"Write this down in the charter and send a copy to Bianjing and Jinkou City Shipping Department. If this kind of ship really docks, it will be over." Yan Shangao was a little proud, thanks to his quick wit, Otherwise, something big will happen!Not only was he useless, but he was also at fault.

"Pfft."

Yan Shangao looked around in horror and said, "What noise?!"

Although the sea breeze was blowing, blowing the railings and sails, he still clearly heard the sound of falling into the water.

"Yan Zhi County heard it wrong?" Tian Cailiang felt that Yan Shangao heard it wrong. The whistling sound after the fierce oil tank was ignited was very noisy, especially when Yan Shangao was shocked by the sound of the Shenwei Zhenyuan cannon just now, he might have tinnitus.

Yan Shangao shook his head, and continued to search the scorching sea, but because of the flames from the oil tank and the raging fire from the ghost ship, the sea surface was steamed with fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Tian...Master Tian, ​​is there someone there?" Yan Shangao asked suspiciously, pointing to the sea in horror.

"Yes!" Tian Cailiang took a closer look and was startled. He saw a disheveled man swimming in the sea with loose hair. No matter how he looked, he looked like a ghost, not a person.Especially when it is foggy, it is more like a ghost.

"Kill it?" Tian Cailiang said in shock.

Yan Shangao shook his head. After all, he is a person. If he was from Song Dynasty, he would have to pay for his life.

He made his little boat drop a piece of driftwood with a rope on it, put the man on his stomach, and turned the boat around.

"Dispel everyone at the pier, and ask the Marine Surveillance Department's epidemic prevention staff to come here! Adjust the plant ash and sulfur water! Every quarter of an hour, the connecting boat, bathing room and isolation room must be disinfected. Go quickly." Wait until the ship docks At the time, Yan Shangao did not immediately pull the rope to fish him up, but let the epidemic prevention staff come over.

"It's a woman. She has gone to the shower room according to the regulations. She will be soaped with sulfur and cleaned up and down. She will be quarantined for seven days before Yanzhi County can go to interrogate her." Tian Cailiang looked at the letter of the epidemic prevention department and said.

Yan Shangao thought for a while and said, "Can you confirm that she is the only survivor? Is she from the Song Dynasty?"

"It's Japanese." Tian Cailiang shook his head and said.

Yan Shangao said with some regret: "If I knew it was a Japanese, I should have shot him."
