Zhao Bing initially thought that although the exiled court had lost a large area of ​​territory, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places were still intact, and local political power was still there.

?b?i?q?Moreover, the sea lanes in the Jiazimen area are complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack. With Wen Tianxiang's governor's army in the northeast as a barrier, the Yuan army will not be able to easily reach them whether by water or 6 routes. As long as

If they wait for another two months until civil strife breaks out in the Yuan Dynasty and the army is transferred north to put down the rebellion, they can survive the current crisis.

But after all, Zhao Bing came to this world not long ago, and his understanding of this era is very one-sided, and he takes it for granted to think about problems with the inherent modern concepts. Fujian is a rich place in China in the 21st century, and he thinks that raising money

Supplies are not a problem, but I did not expect that the rice supply conflict in Fujian during the Song Dynasty was the most serious in the country. Especially after the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of immigrants from the north poured in, making the mountainous and barren Fujian need food as much as the south.

The ship cannot reach the point where the city has no rice.

Now that the imperial court wanted to evacuate Fuzhou and go to Quanzhou, in addition to the Yuan army's attack, the main reason was to solve the problem of food. However, the imperial court was forced to continue southward after surrendering the enemy in Quanzhou, and the Song army was retreating steadily. The loss of cities and land made them dare not continue to retreat southward.

, could only stay in the Jiazimen area between Guangnan East Road and Fujian, but the food shortage problem still could not be solved, so that even if you had money, you couldn't buy it, and even local tyrants were awarded the title after offering only three days of food.

The title of Dr. Zhongzheng is something that is usually difficult to understand.

As a result, Zhao Bing began to worry about the food crisis and the enemy's constant approach, which made the already frightened Zhao Bing drift at sea again before the Yuan army retreated to the north. This was different from his previous intention that the imperial court would stay at Jiazimen for a long time.

The estimates are different. After understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why the imperial court only gave useless quarantine tickets to the volunteers. They wanted to keep food for escape, but this made Zhao Bing suffer.

What a good prince, he not only has to solve the immediate problem of eating, but also thinks about what to eat when he floats to the sea.

That night, Zhao Bing summoned Zhuang Shilin alone to ask for advice. Thinking that he was so valued by the prince, Zhuang Shilin, who was flattered, gritted his teeth and revealed his plan.

?b i?q u?g e．

cn In the past, Fujian's food was mostly transported by sea from Guangdong and Guangxi, but now the Yuanshui army is rampant at sea. Maritime merchants all know that if they lose something, they will not be able to return, so they may not even be able to return.

Grain cannot enter, amplifying the shortage. On the contrary, Guangdong must have hoarded a large amount of grain that cannot be transported out of the country, and the price is even lower than before. As long as you go to Guangzhou, you will not have to worry about not being able to buy grain.

Zhuang Shilin's plan is supposedly feasible, but there are dangers in it. One is that he will risk a military disaster, which may result in the loss of both men and money; the other is that the court has already left before he can buy the grain back; the third is that he is absconding with the money or

It is surrendering to the enemy. Although this cannot be said on the table, it is the most likely thing to happen in this **** time. But if it succeeds, the benefits will be huge. Not only can you keep the little wealth you have just saved.

, and can increase cohesion and lay the foundation for the future. After careful consideration, Zhao Bing decided to take a gamble and fight for his own character.

Later, Zhao Bing and Zhuang Shilin discussed the specific details. As the population in the mansion continued to increase, the food reserves were only enough for six or seven days. Even if they saved some, they would not be able to last ten days, and the enemy might arrive in Guangzhou at any time, so they had to go back quickly.

After calculation, the government would need 2,000 shi of food to maintain its normal needs for one month. Considering that there would be people seeking refuge, at least 3,000 shi of food would have to be bought during this trip to have some margin.

In the end, the two decided to send out three two-thousand-stone ships originally belonging to Zhuang Shilin. Although the number of ships seemed small and their resistance was weak, the chance of being discovered on the vast sea was also low, and even if one ship was lost, only two ships would be lost.

The safe return of the ship can also meet their needs. To be more secure, they pretended to be Semu merchants after going to sea. They were allies of the Yuan Dynasty, and generally they would not embarrass them when encountering the Yuan army.

Considering that food prices may fluctuate greatly, Zhao Bing granted Zhuang Shilin the right to randomly use the funds in the palace to act in the name of Prince Wei's palace. However, during the conversation, he listened more than he spoke.

He has little time. First, he is not an expert in business and is not familiar with the rules of this era. Furthermore, he has to be more reserved and show respect for his opinions. After all, given his age, doesn’t it really mean that he knows everything?

monster……

"Where did such a bad smell come from!" After a day of preparation, Zhuang Shilin took His Highness's token and set sail to sea. Zhao Bing put his worries aside and had a peaceful sleep. But when he walked out of the bedroom in the early morning, he smelled a smell.

There was a strong stench, he frowned and asked Wang Dedao.

"Your Highness, the smell comes from the outer courtyard. There are more and more people there. Thousands of people are crowded together, eating, drinking, sleeping, and eating. These people are all rough guys who don't know how to behave, so..." Wang De sniffed.

He reported with a wry smile.

"Oh, that's it!" Zhao Bing suddenly realized that the disposal of urine and feces is a problem for so many people. In addition, these people do not have good living habits, and the hygienic situation is obvious without even thinking about it.

"Your Highness, it's time to take care of them." Wang De used to live in the palace and was used to being clean. He had never seen such a sloppy scene. He had long been dissatisfied with these people, but he did not dare to do so because of His Highness's protection.

What to say, now that there is a problem, of course I don’t want to let it go.

"Okay, I understand, it's time to clean up, otherwise something big will happen." Zhao Bing nodded.

"Your Highness, those villagers received Your Highness's favor but did not want to repay it. They just kept causing trouble every day. They pulled out all the flowers and trees planted in the house, and defecated everywhere, making it extremely dirty. Especially those monkey cubs, who turned over and over several times.

Wang De entered the inner courtyard to peek, and stole the food and clothing of the local villagers, and was chased into the mansion..." His opinion was rarely accepted by the prince, Wang De became energetic and immediately began to talk.

"Yeah, yeah!" Zhao Bing kept nodding in agreement, but what he was thinking about was an article about military logistics that he had read in his previous life, which made him realize that he had almost made a common-sense fatal mistake.

Modern people all know that they should wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet, clean up the garbage in time, not urinate in public, eliminate flies and mosquitoes, etc., but they don’t know that it took two thousand years just to let an army handle defecation correctly.

Time. This may sound a bit suspenseful or even alarmist at first, but it is actually true. The reason is also very simple. For an army that is large and often concentrated in one place, feces and garbage can easily cause infection if they are not properly disposed of.

The outbreak of disease. It can be said that those invisible killers destroyed many more soldiers than those directly damaged by weapons.

In this era, there were no cars or airplanes. Military operations and baggage transportation relied on animal power, so we had to deal with animals every day. The scary thing is that once livestock gets sick, it can be transmitted to people. This is too numerous to mention in the history of war.

During World War I, in Gallipoli, mules and horses were infected with dysentery and transmitted it to the troops, which greatly weakened the Allied forces' combat effectiveness.

Improper disposal of garbage will attract another uninvited troublemaker-rats. They will not only gnaw weapons and equipment made of ropes or leather, but also transmit diseases, and the results are often disastrous. Napoleon, the military wizard of the time

When he invaded Russia, what depressed him most was not the tough Russians, but typhus. Of the more than 400,000 recruits he tried so hard to recruit, less than half were still able to serve. People joked: The one who defeated General Napoleon was

'Rat General' - Rats are the main source of infection of typhus. A hundred years later in this era, when the Western Maritime Championship began, the plague was so rampant that it spread among the British army: Chickenpox is on the deck, and the plague is between the decks.

, Hell is in the shipyard, and the devil is steering the ship.

However, in the history of human wars, there are very few armies that have thought about this problem. The ancient Roman army did a good job. They systematically dug field toilets, set up fortresses near rivers, and the camp drainage system led to the downstream, where they stationed themselves.

They took measures such as avoiding swamps and depressions. This allowed Roman soldiers to live an average of more than five years longer than civilians, even though they faced arduous wars for a long time and were on battlefields where casualties were constant.

Zhao Bing, who had just escaped from the epidemic ship, was naturally very aware of the dangers involved. The scene of the sick being thrown into the sea often appeared in his dreams. In the future, I am afraid that he will have to spend more of his escape days on the ship. If there is no good conditions,

It is not possible for the plague to break out again, it is only a matter of time sooner or later. Therefore, he must start to let these people in the mansion develop good hygiene habits and maintain good combat effectiveness...

"Your Highness, my subordinates will immediately summon people to go and make sure these people know the rules of the palace." Wang De was secretly happy when he saw His Highness nodding his head, thinking that he could finally show off his ability to run a family, and at the same time, he could vent his anger.

He volunteered to ask for orders.

"You?!" Zhao Bing was stunned for a moment, then glanced sideways at Wang De as if he didn't trust him, "Okay, I'll ask Hao Hanlin to come over after breakfast." After that, he turned around and went back to the house. As soon as the sun came out,

The stench seems to be stronger.

"Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?" Wang De asked, half puzzled and half anxious, seeing that His Highness didn't comment and instead called the doctor. Seeing that he didn't look sick, Wang De asked.

"There's so much nonsense, just follow your orders!" Zhao Bing said with a frown, and did not continue to answer Wang De who was asking for help. He still needs to think carefully about how to make these people who are used to being undisciplined understand not to urinate in the open. This problem

It sounds small, but it is not easy to cure. At least in the world of his previous life, news about such uncivilized behaviors would be exposed on the Internet from time to time, which even caused large-scale debates, and various measures were taken by all walks of life.
