Under the soft light of the centipede beads, the exotic flowers in the main building are blooming quietly without knowing it.
Some of the strange flowers emit strange lights under soft light.
The Tengu Dahua snored one after another, sometimes loudly and sometimes softly. The ears that had been erect before slowly drooped.
As for the conversation between Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother on the bed not far away behind the curtain, even if Dahua is a psychic, it cannot understand these, for it, it is complicated nonsense. Moreover, it is not interested, so it simply
Fall asleep with your head down.
After a while, it put its two front paws on its nose.
Xiao Shizhu, who was on the bed, was also sitting cross-legged and said enthusiastically: "In case there is an impromptu war, some navy soldiers can't even adapt to the waves, and they don't know the weather conditions at sea.
, let alone what to do if an accident occurs to the warship, such as catching fire or running aground on rocks."
Xiao Shizhu's method kills two birds with one stone. Having sergeants sailing with merchant ships and civilian ships can ensure the safety of the crew in the vast sea, and it can also sharpen navy soldiers and sailors.
The scarcity of excellent sailors in Jiuyou Kingdom can be supplemented by this.
Moreover, it can also make up for the scarcity of ships in the Jiuyou Kingdom once a naval battle occurs.
The ghost mother thought about it and thought this was a good idea. But she was also afraid that the sergeant would board the ship and disturb the life and normal work of civilian and merchant ships.
Even the goods carried by some ships are expensive, which will give some ghosts the evil thought of seeking wealth through danger.
The ghost mother immediately expressed her worries and said: "Should we order the Navy Governor's Mansion to come up with a complete management regulations as soon as possible?".
"Yes, Hei Wuchang and Gonggong are already formulating the regulations and military regulations that need to be followed when boarding the ship." Xiao Shizhu bent one leg, stepped on the bed in front of him, and said proudly: "At the beginning of the ship statistics
At that time, I gave them orders."
Gonggong has been commanding the naval warships of the Jiuyou Kingdom, while Hei Wuchang is now responsible for the management of the infantry and flying thunder vehicles on the warships. They are both senior officials of the naval governor's office of the Jiuyou Kingdom.
Moreover, the two ghosts enforce the law strictly and run the army according to the law. It is up to them to draw up the orders, so the ghost mother feels relieved.
Speaking of which, with Xiao Shizhu around, the ghost mother feels at ease no matter what she encounters. Xiao Shizhu seems to be cynical and likes to play, and there are many times when he is doing business. But it is still very difficult to really do things.
Serious. Thinking about the problem very thoughtfully and very comprehensively.
This not only made the ghost mother feel at ease, but also made her feel much more relaxed.
"But apart from this matter, the construction of the Iron Dragon Ship must also be stepped up." After a moment, Xiao Shizhu put away his complacent expression and thought seriously: "In the battle of Shuoyue Island, I watched Quan Xian and Ying
Handwritten by the recruiter
Detailed battle reports revealed that the only warship that our country can compete with the Beiyin Chaoshan Treasure Ship and the Iron Treasure Ship is our Iron Dragon Ship. Gonggong also mentioned that the new Iron Dragon Ship is rampant in the Huangquan Sea and has no rival for the time being.
”.
"The iron dragon ship has a hard and huge hull. It can carry a large number of flying thunder vehicles and is equipped with new firearms such as falling star cannons and poisonous fire cannons. It is powerful and can stand on its own at sea. It can also be used far away from the inland land of its ghost country.
Does not rely on local coastal pass military ports
Under such circumstances, we will engage in combat against the enemy." Xiao Shizhu, who pondered for a moment, then said enthusiastically: "If we can take the Iron Dragon ship as the center and equip it with some other warships to form a battle group, then the Iron Dragon ship will
The ship is even more powerful."
Jiuyou Kingdom once sent Xia Xing and led the navy to use this tactic to attack Baodu Pass without landing, almost destroying the entire Baodu Pass and tearing apart the defense line directly south of Liutianzhou in Beiyin Dynasty.
.
Yingying, the national commander, and Gonggong, the naval commander, also used this method. After kidnapping Zhong Kui, they completely annihilated the Beiyin Dynasty navy that came to pursue and intercept the Jiuyou Kingdom fleet.
It can be seen that this tactic is very practical.
"The cooperation with Lunbozhou and the sharks has also shown great power on Shuoyue Island." The ghost mother nodded repeatedly, expressing her agreement, and said with great interest: "It can cut off Gong Mingyi's logistics supply line and peripheral security."
Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, lay down again, put his hands behind his head, stared at the curtains on the top of the bed, and said thoughtfully: "That's why I thought of this. Gonggong also meant this,
Improve the naval ship formations and improve the combat capabilities of the soldiers on board. After all, we do not have the Northern Yin Dynasty for as long, and many things need to be developed quickly to catch up with the Northern Yin Dynasty."
The ghost mother smiled and said nothing, quietly listening to her husband's words. At the same time, she took the brocade quilt and gently covered it with Xiao Shizhu.
The ghost mother then also lay down next to Xiao Shizhu, turned sideways and helped her husband take his hands out from behind his head and put them under the quilt.
As Xiao Shizhu talked, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell into a drowsy sleep. After a while, he began to snore...
The dawn of dawn rises in the west with the cloudy sun, illuminating the ten continents and six seas of the underworld.
Near Dushuo Mountain, there was no morning light, but it was raining and foggy, and it was dark under the dark clouds.
The dense rain curtains and the rising Yin Qi formed the rain and mist, making it difficult for people to see the scenery ten feet away.
The sentries at the sentry posts in the mountains stick to their posts and do not dare to relax in the slightest.
Trumpets are distributed at sentry posts almost every ten feet or so.
It was just to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of this opportunity to attack and catch the Jiuyou Army stationed here by surprise.
King Yama fortified this place in such a way that it was watertight. The ghost soldiers of the Nine Nether Kingdom occupying the advantageous location set up defenses close to the mountain and acted as a shield and horn for each other. The Dushuo Mountain was so impregnable that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has become the Jiuyou Kingdom's headquarters in Dongyingzhou.
It is the most troublesome line of defense for all enemies.
On this overcast day, the sun rose in the east, and at dawn, the soldiers who were training in the mountains started training in full swing on the school grounds scattered throughout the mountains. At the same time, the soldiers' shouts were so high-pitched that they shook the heaven and the earth.
In the rain and fog, the sound of wind and rain could not suppress the shouts and roars of the local garrison during training.
This also successfully misled the enemy spies who were secretly watching Dushuo Mountain, thinking that the soldiers here were still not harmed by the plague.
King Yama did not sleep in. He got up early in the morning and went to inspect the residence of the ghost soldiers who were sick due to the plague.
Because King Yama used all the medicines stored in the pass to purify the source of the disease and the water sources containing the disease, and the medicines transferred from the vicinity of Dushuo Mountain and Dongyi Continent were limited, so the sick soldiers did not get much better.
.
And there are still nearly a hundred ghost soldiers who are infected with the plague every day.
The number of infected soldiers is increasing. King Yama looks calm on the surface, but in fact he is very anxious in his heart.
Fortunately, the capital has been dispatching the medicine in time and shipping it to Dongyingzhou in batches.
The one who may be the first to arrive is the national master Yingying, who is accompanied by hundreds of ghost doctors who are very capable and have strong abilities in treating plagues.
This can just solve the urgent need of King Yama at this moment.
For this reason, King Yama was eager to see through this batch of supporting materials and ghost doctors every day.
However, the weather did not go as planned. It rained continuously all night, and there were constant storms on the Huangquan Sea in the past few days. As a result, the speed of the boat slowed down.
Making King Yama wait for these medicines will only make him more anxious.
King Yama came out from several small courtyards where sick ghost soldiers were concentrated. After inspecting a circle, he walked outside the courtyard and let out a long sigh.
A sigh full of sorrow floats into the distance in the rain and mist with the wind.
Today, more than a dozen soldiers failed to see the cloudy sun rise in the west, and died quietly of illness in the dark night last night.
The death of every soldier made King Yama feel deeply regretful and distressed.
Soldiers should die in the process of fighting, on the way to charge. Death from illness made King Yama feel that these soldiers always felt useless and aggrieved.
But this was just the thought of King Yama. It is unknown whether the soldier who died of illness thought so.
"Commander, the medicine to support us should be here soon, right?" The leader of the ghost doctor chased up from behind, stood next to King Yama and said anxiously: "If the medicine to support us does not come, even if our dozens of ghost doctors have great medical skills, they will not be able to do anything."
It is no longer possible to control the spread of the plague, let alone completely cure it.”
What is different from the human world is that although the underworld has existed longer than the human world, it does not have vaccines or technology.
All ghost diseases need to be treated with medication, there is no other way.
The lack of medicine made the ghost doctor not only exhausted mentally and physically, but also found it difficult to sit or sleep peacefully. It was originally a cold rainy day, and the ghost doctor's forehead and face were covered with anxious sweat.
"The storm swept through many sea areas of the Huangquan Sea, and the arrival of the medicine here will be delayed a bit." King Yama frowned, with a look of helplessness and anxiety in his eyes, "Now we can only wait patiently."
King Yama is also at a loss of skills and has no other option.
"You and I can wait, but the patients in the hospital can't." The ghost doctor became even more anxious and shouted urgently: "Dozens, or even hundreds, of people die every day. We can't turn a blind eye to this."
When King Yama heard this, he wanted to tell the ghost doctor, but the fact made him feel distressed. But when the words came to his lips, he could not say them. Instead, they turned into a long sigh.
The sudden storm caught them off guard, and also slowed down the transportation of medicines. This was something that King Yama had not expected.
But he had no way to speed up the transportation.
The Dongyi Continent next to it is another area of post-war reconstruction, with hundreds of businesses waiting to flourish. The medicines that can be provided to support have basically been delivered to Dushuo Mountain and the nearby towns in Jiuyou Kingdom. There are no more medicines.
Transportable.
Many disadvantages made King Yama very anxious.
He didn't know how to answer the ghost doctor.
"Commander, a fleet has entered the port at the foot of the mountain." At this time, a messenger rushed out of the rain curtain, stood in front of King Yama, and said to him happily: "This is the fleet that is urgently sent from the capital.
The medicine transport fleet from Xuanyan Continent and Yunmeng Continent.”
When King Yama heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. When he relaxed his brows, he said to the ghost doctor next to him: "The medicine you asked for has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked forward, and at the same time motioned to the messenger to lead the way towards the port at the foot of the mountain.
The military port of Dushuo Mountain is located in the bay facing the sea in the west of Dushuo Mountain, under the cliff on the west side of Dushuo Mountain.
The semi-enclosed and narrow bay that goes deep inland is tens of miles long from north to south and dozens of miles wide from east to west. The ebb tide speed is faster than the rise tide speed, and the self-purification ability is strong.
The seawater in the entire bay has low sand content, making it a natural clear water port that does not freeze or silt.
Before, the Northern Yin Dynasty established a port here, and now, the Jiuyou Kingdom has established a port here, as well as many forts on the wide beach.
This is the third large port built by Jiuyou Kingdom in Dongyingzhou.
When King Yama came to the foot of the mountain, he saw masts looming in the anchorage and docks in the rain and fog. (An anchorage refers to the water area where ships can anchor on the water for safe anchorage).
Many unfamiliar large ships that I had never seen before sailed into the port one after another.
The soldiers on the shore and the craftsmen responsible for maintaining the port have quickly built simple rain shelters on the port.
Some waterproof felt cloths coated with tung oil and a rain shelter set up with wooden sticks were used to extend all the way from the port to the depths of the shore, to the foot of Dushuo Mountain.
In this way, the cargo unloaded from the ship will not be wet by heavy rain.
The originally deserted port became bustling and noisy.
The sailors and workers on the ship and the sergeants at the port worked together to transport the large and small jars and jars from the ship in a reasonable manner.
Although each jar and jar is different in size, they are all stamped with the seals of the Ghost Doctor of Jiuyou Kingdom, the Department of Diseases that specializes in treating ghost diseases, and the Department of Manufacturing and Monitoring Pharmaceutical Application.
When King Yama saw the clear handwriting and the bright seal, the gloom in his heart suddenly disappeared. He said with great interest to the ghost doctor who came with him: "Look, this is the medicine you are going to take."
The head ghost doctor also suddenly cleared the clouds and saw the sun, and the anxiety in his heart was swept away.
Excited, he looked left and right. The medicines that were constantly being transported into the port and inland gave the ghost doctor hope.
"King Yama." At this moment, the national master Yingying, dressed in white clothes, also came out of the boat holding a long staff and walked straight towards King Yama.
The excited King Yama went up to him and said excitedly: "Master, you are finally here. If you don't come, I will find a place and jump into the Blue Dragon Sea."
"Storms at sea bring many disadvantages to sailing. Fortunately, no ships were lost, which is also a blessing." After hearing what he said, Imperial Master Yingying put away the smile on her face and became solemn. She immediately asked: "I have received your message.
The book says that the source of the disease has been purified, but what is the current epidemic situation like?"
"It's true that the source of the disease has been purified." When mentioning this matter, King Yama frowned again, looking distressed.
He led the Imperial Master Yingying and several Su Tianju disciples accompanying the Imperial Master to the side, leaving the main transportation road open to allow the boatmen and sergeants to carry the medicine.
At the same time, King Yama also called his deputy general, asking him to assist the local ghost doctor chief in directing the transportation and storage of medicines, as well as arranging the accommodation and rest of the ghost doctors on the ship.
"But the plague has been difficult to control." King Yama took the national soldiers Yingying to a room in the port that could temporarily provide rest. After letting his men serve tea, he said: "And the number of sick soldiers is increasing day by day, and there are more soldiers every day.
Soldiers died of illness."
"If the medicine doesn't come, I don't know how I will survive today?" When King Yama said this, he let out another long sigh.
He was good at commanding troops and strategic issues, not treating patients and rescuing people. Due to his own shortcomings in knowledge, King Yama was really at a loss what to do.
The fact that he was able to do what he did now, in nearly a month when there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, was not to control the spread of the plague. Otherwise, there would also be a serious epidemic crisis in areas outside Dushuo Mountain. He had already tried his best.
"You have done a good job." Imperial Master Yingying took the hot tea, scraped the tea powder in the cup with the cup lid, and said: "Now I have brought a large number of experienced ghost doctors with superb medical skills, as well as a large number of
Ghost Medicine, King Yama, you can rest now. Please feel free to leave the information on treating the plague to us, and I will take over the matter."
