At this time, the person in charge here was none other than Wu Qiu Shou's son Wu Qiu Yuan. Last month, Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother decided to secretly transfer him here to take charge of things here.
Firstly, he is inconspicuous in the court, and no ghost will notice him. Such a human soul is very suitable for secret work. Secondly, when this ghost was in the academy, he studied country governance and espionage, and he has his father Wu Qiu.
Shou's words and deeds made him very handy in espionage work.
Knowing how to make good use of people is what both Ghost Mother and Xiao Shizhu are good at.
And Wu Qiuyuan did not disappoint them. As soon as he arrived here, he gave Emperor Fengdu a lesson on reality and reality. After he classified the intelligence about Jiuyou Kingdom, he included information such as strengthening military defense and recruiting troops as scheduled.
It was sent to Emperor Fengdu without any changes, and for other types of
The information, such as the information about increasing troops in Dongyi Continent, was changed to the information about urgent food transportation to Dongyi Continent, without mentioning anything about the increase in troops. This trick made Emperor Fengdu mistakenly believe that the military rations in Jiuyou Kingdom were
The reserves are already empty, and there is about to be a crisis of declining grain reserves in the country.
As a result, even Emperor Fengdu mistakenly believed that Xiao Shizhu in Dongyi Continent was about to have no rice to cook.
Xiao Shizhu agreed to Wu Qiuyuan's plan, with the intention of making Emperor Fengdu mistakenly think that he was in trouble in Dongyi Continent, so that he would underestimate the enemy and not mobilize too many troops to suppress Dongyi Continent, which would make his own
The situation is not that stressful.
However, things are unpredictable. Although Emperor Fengdu believed that he was indeed in short supply of food and grass, he also sent a large army to suppress the situation. Although Xiao Shizhu did not suffer a big loss, he was very difficult to defeat.
Whether it is Manjiang City or Junzi Port, there is a disadvantage of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. However, in just one day of fighting, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured, and dozens of warships were damaged. Not to mention Black Pine Island.
Before the war, a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources were invested in building the forts. The damage to these fortifications was even more serious. After the war, they will 100% need to be rebuilt.
.
However, there was also an unexpected gain. It can be said that Xia Mao hit a dead mouse; that is, Emperor Fengdu heard that Jiuyou Country was short of food and grass and wanted to take advantage of it. He immediately sent grain merchants from the Northern Yin Dynasty and took the opportunity to bring a large amount of ghost food into Jiuyou Country.
The country implements high-price sales.
Emperor Fengdu just wants to cause trouble in Jiuyou Kingdom, so that the market price of food in Jiuyou Country will rise, so that the poor will not be able to eat food, while the rich will have a lot of food. In this case, when the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, things will happen in Jiuyou Country
Civil strife caused the poor people to be dissatisfied with the Jiuyou court and riots occurred.
However, there seems to be something wrong with his plan.
Xiao Shizhu, who was far away in Dongyi Continent, naturally had no time to take care of things here, so everything was left to the Ghost Mother and Xiao Fuling to take charge of the overall situation. The Ghost Mother's corresponding strategy was for the government to treat these outside grain merchants as if nothing had happened.
, pretending not to know and collected the tariffs according to the quantity. At the same time, they sent Xuanjiao believers to disguise themselves as wealthy merchants and purchase the grain from these grain merchants as the grain reserves of Jiuyou Kingdom, filling the grain shortages in various parts of the Southern Barbarians.
You must know that although Jiuyou Kingdom's grain reserves are far less than those of the Northern Yin Dynasty, they are more than enough. Emperor Fengdu's plan was wrong from the beginning. Moreover, only part of the gold and silver treasures collected from Du Ziren were used to reward the Southern Expedition.
After paying pensions to the soldiers of the Jiuyou Army, not a single penny was left behind, and it all ended up in Xiao Shizhu's treasury.
These treasures that Du Ziren had accumulated for thousands of years were enough to give Jiuyou State the financial resources to sell out all the grain stored in the Northern Yin Dynasty. Both Ghost Mother and Xiao Fuling wished that Emperor Fengdu could continue to persevere in this confusion.
But if Emperor Fengdu wants to persist in this confusion, the Xuanjiao believers in Jiuyou Kingdom will have to put on a show. While they are buying a large amount of the ghost grains brought by the grain merchants sent by the Northern Yin Dynasty, they also started to collect information on the intelligence.
Doing things with your hands and feet at work.
Tonight, there will be several false reports stating that there is still a shortage of food in Jiuyou Kingdom, and a piece of false information that a severe drought has occurred in the southern barbarians of Jiuyou Kingdom that has not happened in a century, causing many crops that can produce ghost food to die. From this courtyard
Hair out.
In addition, the grain merchants sent by the Northern Yin Dynasty were deceived by the illusion that they were pretending to be Xuanjiao believers to rob grain. After they returned to the Northern Yin Dynasty and boasted about it, the credibility of these false information could be greatly enhanced.
The Xuanjiao believers in the courtyard who were very good at imitating other people's handwriting revised some of the secret messages according to the code manuals and treasure books of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and sent them to Wu Qiuyuan, who was sitting upright in the main hall.
Wu Qiuyuan looked at them one by one, read them carefully, and found that all the messages and secret words were correct. He handed them over to his subordinates and said slowly: "Send them out through their original channels."
The underlings received the secret report, nodded and left.
As expected, not long after this information was sent out, Emperor Fengdu would, as always, recruit grain merchants from Liutian Continent to cross the sea with their stored grain and sell grain and grass at high prices. By then, Jiuyou Kingdom's
Food reserves can be improved to a higher level again.
Thinking about this, I Qiu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He stood up, took a long breath and relaxed a little, muttering to himself: "I don't know about the war in the east, how is it going now?"...
On the Huangquan Sea, the supply ship of Beiyin Navy stopped quietly on the windy and rainy sea, swaying left and right in the rough waves.
These more than 300 supply ships are all made of solid periwinkle wood that is not easily corroded by sea water. They are all sand ships with square heads and square sterns, spacious decks, small depths, and low freeboards. They use large beam arch technology.
, so that the deck can quickly discharge waves,
There are many tall masts and sails on the ship. The mast length is more than seven feet and the thickness is about six feet. In addition, the water is shallow and the resistance is small. It can sail quickly on the sea and has good seaworthiness. Therefore, for thousands of years, the Beiyin Navy has
All supply ships use this type of warship.
The supply ships parked here, in addition to carrying the food and grass needed by the navy under Di Tuzhao, also have fresh water.
The reason why Di Tu raccoon dog did not bring them was that he hoped to increase the speed of his attack so that he could catch Jiuyou Kingdom off guard; second, the cannonballs did not have long eyes, and Di Tu raccoon dog did not want these supply ships to be damaged, which would destroy his food, grass and fresh water.
loss.
But he was also out of revenge and neglected. He did not expect that the sergeants of Jiuyou Kingdom would come and go with him. Most of the warships in his navy had just left here, and those fallen soldiers who had been dormant in the deep sea
The wave boat rose from the bottom of the sea to the bottom of the supply ship. It slowly raised its head and raised its head to the bottom of the supply ship.
Compared with the warships heading for the night attack in Port des Princes, the sailors on the supply ship here were somewhat comfortable in the night rain.
In addition, the rainy night was full of gloom, and the ghosts and spirits were refreshed. Many sailors on the ship had already gone back to the cabin to rest after Di Tu raccoon dog left.
Completely unaware of the danger lurking beneath the ship in the sea.
Although Di Tuzhao also left 500 warships to guard these supply ships, the Jiuyou Kingdom Lunbo boat that suddenly appeared from the bottom of the ship made the frigates floating on the sea useless.
Today's Lunbo boat is no longer what it used to be. Not only is the hull larger and faster, the four spirit pestles mounted on it have also been improved and become more powerful.
Only then did these dozens of Lunbo boats reach the two four-spirit pestles on their bows onto the bottom of the enemy ship, and columnar beams of light immediately burst out from the pestles.
The sharp and dazzling beam flashed, and the sharp ghost energy shot out quickly, easily penetrating the bottom of the enemy ship. The broken wood followed the rising sea water, forming a fountain in the enemy ship.
The ghost energy emitted from the four-spirit pestle, depending on the super-control of the over-control ghost, will either turn into sharp pig iron after entering the cabin, or turn into thunder and lightning like a sharp sword, and then fly upward and penetrate.
Touch other parts of the enemy ship's hull.
The bottoms of dozens of sand ships cracked, and sea water instantly rose up in the bottom warehouse, submerging the cargo accumulated in the bottom warehouse.
The Lunbo boats that attacked them flattened their hulls, stretched out from the top of the boats, and formed two rows. There were ten four-spirited pestles pointing to the sky and aiming at the bottoms of these sand boats.
After a sudden burst of ghost energy, the bottom cabins of the sand ships locked by them were riddled with holes. A huge amount of seawater poured into the cabins continuously, and the huge water pressure squeezed the bulkheads and keels. In the blink of an eye,
There were cracks on the keels and bulkheads, and they continued to extend to the surrounding area.
The Shuimang ghosts who stayed behind discovered the Lunbo boat of Jiuyou Kingdom and swam over quickly, but found that the Lunbo boat was wrapped in iron and embedded with steel plates and was indestructible. Although the fish bone weapons in the hands of the Shuimang ghosts were
It is easier to engage in hand-to-hand combat in sea water, but when faced with steel behemoths like the Lunbo Boat on the bottom of the sea, it is impossible to even scratch a few white marks and marks on the skin, not to mention being able to injure them even half a hair.
In the end, these water-mang ghosts were either stabbed to death by the four-spirited pestle, or the ghost energy spurted by the four-spirited pestle pierced their bodies and died.
The only thing they could do was to surface and notify the Fengdu army at sea that there was an enemy raid under the water.
In panic, the sailors of the Beiyin Navy hurriedly moved the gun and threw it into the water from the ship. The gun of the Beiyin Dynasty was very similar in appearance to the underwater Dragon King Cannon of the Jiuyou Kingdom, and the detonation principle was the same.
It can trigger an explosion by impact, or it can ignite a fuse to detonate.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Jiuyou Kingdom Navy in the Lunbo boat only saw the sun enter the sea through the periscope, and immediately tacitly sailed towards the deeper seabed one after another.
These guns, like the underwater dragon king cannons of Jiuyou Kingdom, can only be attached to the sea and cannot sink to the bottom of the sea. At one time, there were thousands of guns floating in the ship array, but none of them could blow up the Lunbo boat. And Jiuyou
The country's Lunbo boat did not float, so it naturally could not hit these boats, leaving the Beiyin navy at a loss.
They were helpless, but the Nine Nether Army was happy.
Di Tuzhao has always wondered why Xiancha did not appear in Junzi Port. He rushed out of the thick dark clouds in the sky, bathed in the wind and rain, and flew dozens of feet above the supply ship of the Beiyin Navy.
The bomb cover on the bottom cabin of Xiancha has been opened. Behind the dark square opening, numerous enemy bombs and pomegranate mines, as well as fire dragons coming out of the water, descended from it. Like thunderbolts falling from the sky, they exploded on the sea.
The seawater turned into huge waves, and the decks of offshore supply ships and frigates exploded. The Beiyin Dynasty Navy that had just been thrown into the sea was also ignited by the explosion. The Beiyin Navy shot itself in the foot.
Under the violent explosion, the waves were fierce, and the warships on the sea were shaking violently. Sparks from the explosion could be seen everywhere, and water columns shot up like spring water, with the potential to reach the sky.
And the sea surface was instantly filled with broken wooden masts and charred and charred limbs. The scene was horrific.
More than thirty supply ships were sunk in the explosion when the second round of Xiancha air strikes were launched, and more than ten frigates were on fire on all sides.
The supply ship's full load of grain, grass, ammunition, and fresh water also sank into the sea as the ship's hull sank.
The Beiyin Navy in this Eastern Expedition will also run out of food due to this. (To be continued)
