Wu Hao Gu seasickness!

The first time he went to sea, he fainted, vomited and vomited, his stomach was so uncomfortable, his whole body was weak, and he had to hum on the pillow of Olga's increasingly thick thighs, which looked so miserable and miserable.

Olga wasn't dizzy at all - she was sold to China by boat from the Middle East, and if she got seasick, she might faint to death.

So along the way, she was telling stories to Wu Haogu, who was dazed, to distract him. She told Bible stories, Genesis, the Flood, the Exodus...... Wu Haogu didn't believe in these at all, if he had heard her say this, he would have taught him a lesson, but he didn't have the strength at this time, so he could only keep Olga's "crime" in mind and punish him hard when he got ashore!

Thinking about punishing Olga, Wu Haogu actually fainted a little better. At this time, the ship doesn't seem to be shaking so much, and I don't know if it's almost there?

Just as he was thinking about this, Ximen Qing came in from outside the cabin. Sister Ximen is also not seasick like Olga, and when she came in, she saw Wu Haogu looking half-dead, so she shook her head and smiled: "Master, the ship has already entered the harbor, but if you want to get up and walk around?" ”

"Okay." Wu Hao Gu should be. When he heard that the boat had arrived, and knew that he would soon be able to step on solid ground, he was in good spirits, and with Olga's help he got up and walked outside.

There were two ships carrying Wu Haogu and his entourage to Salmon Island, one was the "Jinbao", and the other was a temporarily chartered merchant ship, which was smaller than the "Jinbao", about 2,000 materials. The boat was laden with food to feed the hungry prisoners on Salmon Island.

According to the criminal law of the Song Dynasty, the flow is divided into several grades from heavy to light: the heavy, Shamen Island; secondly, the ridge table; secondly, three thousand miles to neighboring states; secondly, custodial; Second, relocation. And the thorn with Salmon Island is the harshest level! The people detained on the island are convicts who would have been sentenced to death but have their sentences commuted.

However, the Great Song court was sometimes hypocritical, on the one hand, it liked to pardon death row prisoners to show its leniency; On the one hand, they do not want these condemned prisoners to return to society in the future and continue to do evil. Therefore, there was a penalty for the ration of rations, and only 300 people (referring to criminals) were given rations. However, there were more than 300 criminals exiled to the island, and almost every year this number of prisoners came to the island, so there was not enough food to eat.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient food, the Zhizhai who manages Salmon Island can only let the prisoners on the island fight each other to eliminate the excess population. Therefore, nine out of ten prisoners sent to Salmon Island are starved to death or beaten to death, which is better than directly beheading!

However, these criminals who were disliked by the Great Song Dynasty court were rare wealth in the eyes of Wu Haogu, so they couldn't all starve to death.

With Olga's support, Wu Haogu was already standing on the back deck of the "Jinbao", and Salmon Island was displayed in front of his eyes.

This is a small island full of strange rocks, and the sea is full of high cliffs, which is very steep. On the east, north and west sides of the island, there are also some large and small islands, they form a semicircle, forming a large sea pond bay, the pond bay is often calm and calm, called Shamen Pond, it is a rare sheltered harbor.

Several of the islands that surround Salmon Island that make up Salmon Pond are larger than Salmon Island and appear to be a little flatter. Vaguely, it seems that there are cultivated villages, walled cities and docks, as if it is a place for soldiers on the sea!

"Not bad!"

Wu Haogu looked at the surrounding sea ponds, and his spirit suddenly improved a lot.

"It's a nice place to shelter from the wind." Hua Mancang, the bow of the Jinbao, took over the topic, "The maritime merchants who ran the Khitan and Goryeo all know this treasure land, and when there are strong winds and waves, as long as they find Shamentang, they will live." ”

"Is it not just shelter from the wind?" Wu Haogu smiled, "This is a maritime foundation, and it is also the starting point for our future voyages!" ”

"Inheritance? Starting point? Ximen Qing asked, "It's so difficult that it's not Jiehe Commercial Market?" ”

"The boundary river is frozen in winter, how can it be a stronghold of the fleet?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Although we only have one ship now, we will definitely get bigger in the future, and there will be hundreds of big ships, so we must have a stable place to moor and repair." The sea pond here is indeed very ideal. ”

Shouldn't the fleet go south in winter?

Wu Haogu's words are a bit "layman", Ximen Qing, who knows a little about navigation, and the old ship's bow Hua Mancang looked at each other, and they didn't break it.

In fact, how did they know that what Wu Haogu was planning to build was not a merchant fleet, but a fleet to control the maritime hegemony of Northeast Asia!

Of course, the fleet can't stay on the frozen boundary river in winter, let alone go south to do business, and must have a reliable home port. Originally, Wu Haogu wanted to find a suitable tidal flat outside the mouth of the Haihe River for transformation, but the cost of doing so was too great. Now that I have found the Salmon Island Pond, the problem has been solved.

……

The name of the village on the island is Huyanqing, and it is very famous in later storytelling! However, in real history, he is a junior officer of the Ping Navy stationed on the coast of Dengzhou, and he is only in his twenties this year, and this year he was drawn to be the most headache for the generals and colonels of the Ping Navy, the Zhizhai of Shamen Island is similar to the executioner, and the executioner is ordered to kill, and the Zhizhai of Shamen Island has to kill people, and there is no order...... Therefore, the officers of the Ping Navy didn't want to be the governor of Shamen Island very much, so they had to draw lots.

But just when he thought he had to be such a wicked person for no reason, he got an unbelievable piece of news from his superiors. The superior of the Zhizhai of Shamen Island has changed the envoys of the five islands, and Wu Haogu, who is the secretary of the Jiehe City, is concurrently served.

It's a bit inexplicable! The envoys of the five islands were military ministers who had jurisdiction over several small islands, including Shamen Island, located between the Anfu army of Suzhou and Dengzhou in the Liao State. The official position is very small, but it has always been held by the military attache of the Ping Navy, which is organized by the navy, and now how can it be entrusted to a merchant who does business?

Although I am a little unconvinced in my heart, the rule in the officialdom is that the official level crushes people to death! Now Wu Haogu is not an official university, but an official by more than 20 levels! The martial officer of Wu Haogu was the supply and reserve envoy of the seventh grade, and in the Song Dynasty, this was a middle and high-level military attaché.

And Hu Yanqing is just a rankless martial arts captain, ranking more than 40 levels in the Song Dynasty military attache rank with a total of 52 ranks, which is more than 20 levels smaller than the official rank of Wu Haogu. If he is promoted step by step, Wu Haogu's current supply and reserve envoy, Hu Yanqing will not think about it in the next life.

Therefore, when his subordinates reported that they saw the sea boat with the flag of martial arts entering the pond, Hu Yanqing dared to slack off, and immediately took a group of subordinates to greet him on the pier outside the walled city of Shamen Island.

There are also several small boats on the pier of Salmon Island, with slender hulls and sails. Wu Haogu, who already knew a little bit about naval forces and shipbuilding, knew that it was a "swordfish ship", a small warship used to intercept smuggling and hunt down thieves. It is more common in inland rivers and offshore waters, but it is not possible to sail far.

"Wu Xuanzan, Xiaguan Shamen Zhai Zhizhai Hu Yanqing, I have seen Xuanzan."

An age and martial arts seem to be ancient, with a majestic figure, but his appearance is a little ugly, his face is like the bottom of a pot, his beard is curled, and his slightly slender eyes shoot a cold light, but he has the appearance of a little fierce general.

"Your name is Hu Yanqing?" Wu Haogu, who had already stepped on the dock, was surprised when he heard the name of this person's self-report, and then took a closer look at him. He had heard this name in later generations, as if he was a famous general in the storytelling.

"Under ...... It was Hu Yanqing. Hu Yanqing squinted his eyes and looked at the military general Shangguan in front of him, who was about the same age as himself, and looked polite, like a scholar.

"Okay, okay." Wu Haogu smiled, "Does Dengzhou Terracotta have a text for you?" ”

"I have already received the transfer, and I know that Xuanzan is also the envoy of the five islands." Hu Yanqing said, "The envoy of the five islands is not on Shamen Island, but on the opposite side of Da Xie Shu.

Xia Guan has already sent a swordfish boat to Da Xie Shu to pick up Zhou's points. ”

Da Xie Shu is the later generation of Nanchangshan Island, there was originally a garrison camp on the island, called Da Xie Shu, so it was named after it.

Because Da Xie Shu is far more spacious than Shamen Island, so the Yamen of the envoys of the five islands is placed in Da Xie Shu, and the current mention surnamed Zhou has already received the text and is waiting for the handover.

"No hurry, no hurry." Wu Haogu smiled and waved his hand, and said to Hua Mancang behind him, "Flower bow, unload!" ”

"Whoa!"

Hua Mancang answered, but Hu Yanqing was stunned, what kind of goods are unloaded?

Wu Haogu smiled: "Huyan Zhizhai, this official asks you, how many soldiers and prisoners are there on the island?" ”

"Hui Xuanzan," Hu Yanqing said busily, "there are a total of one hundred and fifty-five soldiers on the island, and five military academies, and a total of three hundred and sixty-two prisoners. ”

Wu Haogu nodded, "This official didn't come empty-handed, bring some rewards and food to the big guy...... The tired Huyan Zhizhai gathered all the people, and the official gave them rewards and food. ”

Hu Yanqing didn't believe his ears a little, what is the number of lifts from this Jiehe Shang City? Reward? Going to war? And feed the prisoners? The court is not going to starve them to death?

Seeing Hu Yanqing's confused face, Wu Haogu smiled and said: "Huyan Zhizhai, this is not the place to talk, let's change places." The official will slowly share with you...... This time, you, the island's soldiers, and the prisoners are all in luck. The official family has a big deal to open up the territory, and they want to leave it to us to do! ”

What the? Is there really going to be a war? Hu Yanqing was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: Who are you beating? It's not to cross the sea to attack Liao, right? As far as a few sailors on Shamen Island are concerned, they are okay at sea, and they are really going to go ashore, and the Khitans are slaughtered if they don't cut melons and vegetables?
