Chapter 266 Return to Haimen
()ps: Thank you for your review vote from Shaikong Liangdao~~~~~~~~~
In the evening of August 12th, after twelve consecutive days of sailing at sea, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Qin fleet sailed into the river mouth one after another, and Yunfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On this return trip, there were only less than 300 ships, but they carried 125,000 people. On average, each ship had to carry 400 to 500 people, which was seriously overloaded. This was undoubtedly a huge problem for sea voyages.
An extremely risky move.
Fortunately, the waves in the Yellow Sea under the control of the subtropical high pressure were calm, and there was no typhoon. The journey was uneventful. However, due to the high temperature and sultry environment and the crowded ship warehouses that looked like sardine cans,
Nearly a thousand of the 50,000 Japanese men died, some of whom were seriously ill and were about to die, and were thrown into the sea by the cold-blooded Qin soldiers.
Relatively speaking, less than ten Japanese women died because they were all arranged on battleships. The survival conditions of battleships are much better than that of transport ships. There is no way around it. Transport ships are not used to carry people, but to transport people.
Food, grass, water and supplies...
Hearing that they were about to dock, all the Japanese who could afford it stood on the deck and looked curiously at this strange land. On the south bank were vast fertile fields and woods that could not be seen to the edge, surrounded by streams and rivers like jade belts.
.
However, when you turn your attention to the north bank, it is a different scene. The north bank is an endless sandy beach, bare and almost barren of grass. The color is mainly yellow, which is not as green as the south bank.
Infinite vitality.
After this period of recuperation, Caoxiangban Suoji's body has improved a lot. She has changed out of the traditional Japanese clothes. She is wearing a light yellow thin silk dress. This is Li Ruoxuan's clothes. Although Li Ruoxuan's body
She was thin and her clothes were narrow, but her body still looked empty despite her illness, which gave people a feeling of weakness and pity.
Her cheeks are also much rosier and have gained some flesh. They are no longer as boney as a skull more than a month ago. Although her hair is still sparse and yellow, it has a faint luster. Overall, it smells like grass.
Hatazuki regained 30% of her beauty.
And Yi Tongji and Queen Panyuan also have a completely new look. Yi Tongji wears light green dark clothes, which are also from Li Ruoxuan, but Queen Panyuan wears colorful dark clothes. This looks like Song Bo's dressing habits.
, Song Yi always likes to dress herself up like a butterfly, and her delicate and slightly foxy appearance can be better brought out by this dressing style.
As for the clothes of Xun Guanniang, Yu Wenjun, Su Qizhen and Jin Yuehua, the three of them cannot wear them. There is a big difference in height and body shape. The first four are all about 1.7 meters tall and a little over 1.5 meters tall.
It looked awkward to wear. Concubine Pei was wearing a Taoist robe, and the blue and gray homespun clothes didn't interest them at all.
At this time, Grass Fragrance Banner Suo Ji was supported by Yu Wenjun and stood on the bow of the boat. She looked at the completely different scenery on both sides of the strait with interest. However, she discovered something strange and couldn't help but ask: "Wenjun
, only separated by a river, the difference between the two sides is
It's really puzzling that the distance is so large. What makes Hatansou Ji even more puzzling is that the north shore is so desolate, but there are people moving around. You see, the sun is going down, and there are still people busy in some large pools on the beach.
What are you wearing?
On the other hand, there is no one on the south bank, and since entering the river, most of the scattered boats that I have seen are traveling along the north bank, and few of them approach the south bank. What is going on? The conditions on the south bank are so good, why is there no one there?"
Grand Hou Panyuan also raised her ears high. In fact, she had discovered this suspicion very early, but with Yunfeng, a demonic man standing beside her, she did not dare to open her mouth to attract attention.
During this period of time, Queen Panyuan had been living with Xun Guanniang, Yu Wenjun and Cao Xiangban Suo Ji. She was afraid that Yunfeng would touch her if she lived alone. If Yunfeng took possession of her body just to steal fragrance and jade, she would
There will not be much rejection, or
Xu Hui would try his best to please this person, but Yunfeng had promised her that he would strip her naked and hang her upside down from the rafters, and then give her all kinds of torture in her imagination.
Scratching the soles of the feet is not a feeling that people can bear!
Although Yi Tongji looked indifferent on the surface, her ears twitched slightly.
"Ahem~~" Yu Wenjun coughed twice and explained proudly: "The south bank is the territory of the Wujun gentry. The people there have to work for the gentry for at least six hours a day, and they don't have enough food or clothing.
Being restricted in person again
You, you are not allowed to walk around at will, so you can see that there is no one on the south bank, but the north bank is different. The north bank is the territory of the general. The people here are not slaves. They only make a living for themselves. The pools on the seaside are actually salt fields, which produce
The supply of salt exceeds demand, but only a small tax is required.
By the way, the boats you just saw should be fishermen who go out to sea to fish. After they catch fish, they will sail to Jiankang overnight. Let me tell you, these fish are hot commodities in Jiankang and can be sold for a lot of money.
In short, the people on the north bank are rich and unfettered, and people on the south bank often risk crossing the river to go to the north bank. This makes the Wujun nobles take a closer look at the people, so you
It’s normal not to see anyone.”
"Oh?" Caoxiang Banner Suo Ji looked at Yunfeng in surprise. She didn't expect that this person would be a wise king. After a while, she asked again: "Then why doesn't the king send troops to the south bank to let the people there?"
Want to live a better life? Although Hata Suo Ji is a foreigner, she also understands that if the king leads his army there, the people will definitely come to join him."
"What about this?" Yu Wenjun pondered: "The general's goal is to conquer the north first and then the south, and then conquer the south with a thunderous force. Now that there is Jie Zhao in the north, we must destroy it first. If Wenjun estimates
That’s right, it’s time to use troops against Jie Zhao this time when we return to Chang’an, General, do you think so?”
Although Yunfeng remained calm on the surface, secretly he was already elated, and Yu Wenjun was praised over and over again. By saying this, he was truly a wise king through the ages!
Yunfeng suppressed his joy and smiled slightly: "Miss Yu is right. I am confident that Shi Le will be pacified within two years, and then it will take another year. Once Goguryeo and Sanhan are destroyed, he will immediately send his troops southward."
, save the people of Jiangdong from the fire and water!"
Queen Panyuan finally couldn't help but turned her head and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty practices benevolent government in China and treats the people leniently, so why is he so cruel to me, the Japanese?"
Yunfeng's expression immediately turned cold and he said displeasedly: "This is the third and last time I will answer your same question. Weak races are not qualified to enjoy peace!"
Queen Panyuan suddenly trembled all over, quickly closed her mouth, and subconsciously shrank towards Xun Guanniang. Although she gritted her teeth in hatred for Yunfeng's discriminatory policy, what could she do?
"Broken Mountain!" Xun Guanniang said displeased: "Why do you always bully Panyuan? Can't you even speak? You are not allowed to bully others in the future! Okay, Haimen is ahead. Do you think that person is Yishao?"
Yunfeng chuckled and looked around. Wang Xizhi was standing on the top of the water village, looking towards him. However, what puzzled him was that Wang Xizhi did not show too much joy, but looked anxious.
, there is still a hint of hope.
"Did something happen to Jiankang?" Yunfeng suddenly thought. Xun Guanniang also noticed the anomaly in Wang Xizhi's appearance. She frowned and began to think secretly.
Not long after, the fleet sailed into the water village one by one. As soon as Yunfeng and others landed, Wang Xizhi immediately came forward and saluted: "Xizhi congratulates King Qin for killing Han Yong and returning in triumph!"
Before Yunfeng could return the gift, Xun Guanniang couldn't help but said: "Master Yi, why are you so worried? Something happened to Jiankang?"
Wang Xizhi replied: "Xizhi just wants to report this matter to the King of Qin. I wonder if the King of Qin and Sister Guan Niang have any impression of Liu Kun?"
Yu Wenjun rushed over and said, "Isn't Liu Kun dead a long time ago? He was unfavorable in the battle with Liu Cong and Shi Le, so he went to the Duan tribe of Xianbei to ask for reinforcements, but was involved in the internal fighting of the Duan family, and was later hanged by Duan Pixun.
How could Young Master Yi mention him after he was killed? He was also posthumously named Marquis of Guangwu by the court!"
Wang Xizhi's face was covered with a layer of solemnity, he nodded and said: "Liu Kun is not dead, he took advantage of King Qin to go to sea." Then, he told every detail of what happened in Jiankang after Yunfeng left.
Hepandao came out.
As Wang Xizhi spoke, the shock on everyone's faces became more and more intense. In fact, it was not that they had not guessed about the person Han Yong mentioned, but they never expected it to be Liu Kun. After all, no one could have expected that the dead person would also turn out to be Liu Kun.
Will be resurrected.
Gradually, everyone fell into deep thought. They all understood that Liu Kun chose this time to jump out with Murong Bu, and it must be a bad person, and his purpose was not to advance the imperial family. However, they still had a little doubt, how could Murong Bu be willing to do so?
Used by Liu Kun?
"Hmph!" Yu Wenjun snorted coldly: "Liu Kun must be a great evil person. General, you should be careful. From what Yi Shao said, we can judge that the methods adopted by Liu Kun are completely different from Wang Dun's. They are not blindly using power.
oppressive,
Instead, you have to make partial concessions in exchange for the support of the court ministers and dignitaries. This is more difficult to deal with than Wang Dun! Unless you send troops to attack Jiankang regardless of the situation, because Liu Kun is here, you can hardly win Jiankang by talking about surrender.
It’s impossible!”
Yunfeng was secretly worried about Liu Kun appearing out of thin air. He was not afraid of reckless men. The easiest way to deal with reckless men was to use force, just like Wang Dun. Strictly speaking, Wang Dun did not have any political means.
He who uses force to coerce people can be classified as a reckless man, but people like Liu Kun are good at maneuvering and pay attention to winning people's hearts.
From what Wang Xizhi told Yunfeng, he could tell that the Jiankang gentry were almost unilaterally leaning towards Liu Kun, causing his painstaking efforts in Jiankang to come to nothing in an instant. It was foreseeable that if he attacked Jiankang in the future, Liu Kun would inevitably pull
Cage each
The nobles, big and small, resisted desperately. This was a situation that Yunfeng was extremely unwilling to face. The north was already devastated. He was unwilling to destroy the economic foundation of the south. How to break this situation? (To be continued. Mobile users please go to
