Chapter 342
When Zhao Bing heard the two people's number, they could clearly understand their situation.??
So the two of them enjoyed the coach's eyes rolling their eyes every day, being gossiped by their colleagues, sitting on the long bench, thinking about it, Zhao Bing felt so sour. But watching him seems to be idle, but in fact he is thankless. After doing it, no one praises him, and he loses his head. So the two unlucky guys were assigned to do this job again by Zhang Shijie. In his opinion, Zhang Shijie thought that the Lu family had so many traitors, and Wen Tianxiang was famous for being disharmonious. The emperor definitely did not like their people, and he would not pay attention to them even if he wanted to defect to him.
Zhao Bing probably ran out every day these days, making the two of them impatient. He wanted to find something to scare him back. Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough guy, and he didn't take advantage of the advantage and was disappointed. He couldn't even get tough, and he couldn't change the fate of the swearing bag no matter how hard he looked. He looked so pitiful and hateful, and he couldn't help but hurt them with sarcasm...
"Your Majesty... the last general (the lower official) is willing to be punished!" Lu Shicheng and Du Hu did not expect that the young emperor's words were so sharp. There was no one to blame, but they made them feel as if they were in a pin and needle and pleaded with mercy and apologized.
"You two are so serious. You are both the favorite generals of Taifu Zhang. How dare I punish me!" Zhao Bing waved his hands repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, then only one death can atone for his sins!" Lu Shicheng gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife and put it under his neck to commit suicide to apologize.
"Don't die. If you die in front of me, Grand Tutor Zhang will think that I killed you. You will definitely come to ask for punishment. How can I explain it?" This made Zhao Bing even more frightened, and pointed at him and shouted loudly.
"Then I will cut off my arm to atone for my sins!" Lu Shicheng put his left arm on the side of the ship, swung his knife and wanted to cut off his hands.
"Slow...slow, what's the use of chopping your hand to me? You can't use it as a decoration!" Zhao Bing shouted repeatedly.
"What should I do? Please tell your Majesty!" This is not possible, nor is it possible. Du Hu is still smart and polite.
"Forget it, you are all from Taifu Zhang, and I don't want to do anything. As long as you do, it's fine, everyone is safe." Zhao Bing said with a helpless wave.
"Thank you for your unsincere!" Both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed.
"Dinner, start dinner, aren't you hungry?" Zhao Bing said nothing, but said to them.
"This... Your Majesty will do it yourself, and I will not be hungry!" Seeing the cabin opposite, Du Hu and the others couldn't help swallowing.
"Your Majesty, now the court has shortage of food. Except for our camp and the front guards, the other troops only use two meals." Zheng Yong said to His Majesty in a low voice.
"Hey, that's strange. At the last court meeting, I said that the food and grass offered in various places can be used for half a year. Why is there a shortage of food? Have you always been like this?" Zhao Bing swallowed the rice in his mouth and looked at the two of them in surprise and asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, it's been a while since the army only had two meals!" Lu Shicheng replied.
"Oh, then there is no dry food on your boat?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked again.
"Yes, Your Majesty. If you don't travel to the far sea, you don't have dry food. This is a custom in the army." Lu Shicheng replied.
"Haha, so that's it!" Zhao Bing smiled. No wonder they were angry. They had to follow them at any time when they went out early and came back late every day. And if they had two meals in the morning, it was around Si and the afternoon was at the end of Shen. In this way, they couldn't catch up with any meal. But in order to prevent the soldiers from leaving the sea and there was no dry food on the boat, they could only starve for a day.
"Zheng Yong, Wang De gave them some spare food on each ship. It is not easy to protect us all day long." Zhao Bing turned his face and ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's do it now!" Wang De glanced at Lu Shicheng and Du Hu, who were a little confused, and secretly wondered what His Majesty was going to do. He was like a black-eyed chicken on both sides just now, but now he took the initiative to give them food.
The food stored for five days is generally limited to the minimum storage of food on the dragon boat, and it is supplemented as you use it, so it is not difficult to make up some dry food. A dozen baskets of food were handed to the other party’s two boats. The wet food on the sea is prone to mold, and there is no refrigerator in this era. Naturally, the food stored is dry biscuits and dried meat. Of course, it is not delicious, but it is enough to satisfy hunger.
"Quick, give me a piece of jerky meat. I haven't smelled meat in a long time."
"Yeah, it's still the meat smells!"
"I finally got the meat again!"...
Zhao Bing watched the soldiers on the ship opposite flock to the ground without waiting for the supplies to land, snatching everything up like soldiers. He was simply a group of refugees, let alone thank you.
"Your Majesty, it's okay to be the last general, I'm so ashamed!" Lu Shicheng saw His Majesty's stunned look as if he was frightened by the behavior of the soldiers, and said with embarrassment.
"You really haven't eaten meat for a long time?" Zhao Bing stood up and asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, yes. Not to mention the soldiers, even the last general has not smelled meat for several months." Liang Shicheng replied respectfully.
"Why did I hear them raise tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs every month. Even if they don't have meat every meal, they won't be able to eat for several months?" Zhao Bing said in surprise. As he knew, the food and side dishes sent to various prefectures and counties were enough for half a year to eat, and there were still resources to deliver them. It was difficult to eat meat even during the New Year.
"Shangguan has an order that Emperor Daxing was not allowed to slaughter livestock during his filial period, and the entire army was forbidden to eat, wine and meat." Lu Shicheng replied.
"Hmph, I heard those words that are bullying by officials. They have lost their wine and meat every day. In Zhang Shumi's mansion, there are 500 kilograms of mutton and 100 live chickens every day. Did they know that the Shaobao led the army to sleep in the open every day, and they would not eat enough, and they would not care about the life and death of us." Du Hu tear off a piece of jerky and chewed it angrily.
"This is even more strange. The Queen Mother has long stated that the current state crisis is so simple. The Emperor Daxing's filial period of military and civilians only needs to mourn for one month, which has long passed." Zhao Bing was annoyed. His mother had done bad things and he took the blame. The military and civilians below did not know what happened in the court, and they all thought that the emperor had the final say. Although Du Hu did not say it clearly, he pointed the finger at him.
"I don't know these last generals. Today I was shocked by the Holy Lord. The last general is guilty!" Lu Shicheng sighed lightly and said.
"Why do you have to hide for them? They have never been ashamed of drinking and eating meat every day..." Du Hu said, holding up the jerky meat in his hand.
"Please be careful when Du Jingbing!" Lu Shicheng was also a family of officials and knew that the officialdom was dangerous. Du Hu's current words and deeds were simply pointing at the jerky meat to scold the emperor. If someone had a heart, wouldn't he be punished for his great disrespect? He quickly pulled his clothes and whispered.
"I should feel ashamed," Zhao Bing said with a sad expression.
"Your Majesty, there are customizations in the court for material distribution, and you can't blame him!" Wang De saw that His Majesty's face was gloomy, and knew that he was unhappy, he quickly said authoritatively.
"That's because I'm incompetent!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty..." Du Hu was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that the little emperor would take the initiative to take the responsibility and was very worried about it.
'puff……'
'puff……'
"Where is the sound?" Zhao Bing suddenly heard a steam engine exhaust sound. He listened and asked in surprise for a moment.
"Your Majesty, it's a big loach!" The soldier on the watchtower replied loudly.
"Big Loach?" Zhao Bing was a little confused, not knowing what it was.
"Your Majesty, there!" Zheng Yong saw that His Majesty didn't know what the big loach was, so he pointed it out to him.
"Isn't this a whale?" Zhao Bing put a shed in his hand and looked in the direction he pointed. He saw more than a dozen whales floating on the sea in the east. The sound he heard was the sound of the whale's breathing.
"Your Majesty is right, but we must not get close. They can overturn the huge boat with one leap, and even swallow the small boat into their stomachs." Zheng Yong saw that His Majesty seemed to be interested and hurriedly "scared" him.
"Zheng Yong, have you ever caught a whale?" Zhao Bing could not be frightened by him, but he knew that he was all good intentions, and he asked without saying anything.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have surrounded the tribesmen, but it is also extremely dangerous." Zheng Yong said, "After the big loach appears, you have to mobilize dozens of ships, but it is not possible to have fewer ones. First tie the iron gun with a long rope and throw it and hit the body, so three times. The second bid is the most dangerous, because the fish won the bid and do not know the pain, and it will cause pain when stabbing again, and it will hit the nearest ship. Therefore, you must choose a good man who is good at water-based boat racing, but the boat will often be destroyed and killed, but the reward will be the most rewarded after success."
"Generally, fish can still be in pain for several days after the three standards. After the group of ships are trapped, they will tie them with ropes to a shallow place before slaughtering. If they encounter storms or big loaches diving and escape, they will get nothing, and it is very difficult to catch them. But after success, they will also harvest them. A fish can carry dozens of ships with a brain marrow and eyes, and the majority will reach more than 300 earth-climbing boats. They may use lights to repair ships. The ribs can also be used as trusses, the spine can be used as door leafs, and the joints are cut into mortars. It can be sold for one million yuan. It is just that it is too difficult to catch, and one is rare in several years!"
"Let's go, get the boat!" Zhao Bing said after hearing this.
"What is Your Majesty going to do?" Zheng Yongxin said that he was so bad. His Majesty was moved, but he still hoped that His Majesty would go to hunt whales.
"We are just catching fish. If we catch one, we will drink soup tomorrow. If we catch two, we will eat meat!" Zhao Bing said excitedly. He had seen clearly that the humpback whales on the nearby sea surface were relatively docile, but this whales weighed more than 30 tons. Even if they only had half of the meat, they could eat ten thousand kilograms of meat.
"Your Majesty, don't take any risks!" Zheng Yong was shocked and knelt down on one knee and begged to let go. He felt even more regretful. He insisted on listening to "Du Meng" and others instigating him to go out to the camp to relax, but this is not a relaxation, it is obviously a fatal death!
"What are you talking about? If you don't obey the orders, I'll put you in the pot and cook it tomorrow and make soup!" Zhao Bing threatened.
"Your Majesty..." Zheng Yong was determined to stop him, and he couldn't even go to make soup!
"Rise the battle flag and ring the alarm bell to prepare for the war!" Zhao Bing no longer paid attention to Zheng Yong and shouted at the captain of the Warriors Zhang Hao.
"Ode to the Lord!" Zhang Hao agreed and immediately sounded the alarm bell. He saw that the sailors and soldiers who were eating on the boat immediately threw down their jobs and quickly entered the battle position. The same was true for the two ships of Brave and Brave. In a short while, the three ships had already completed anchoring and stood on standby and all entered the battle position.
"Every ships obey my orders and surround the big loaches!" Zhao Bing climbed the watchtower of the Warriors and waved the orders. The sight here is good, and he is not worried that the whales will shoot arrows. The cannons are used as a command platform. The order was passed to the ships. They raised the flag to show their orders and prepared for battle. Then he ordered one after another, and the dragon ships dropped the masts, the gun doors, and the arrow windows were opened. The crossbows were pushed into the cannon position. Then the warships drove into the sea channel and turned southeast...
"What are they doing?" Just now, the three dragon ships under surveillance suddenly came out of an alarm and entered a state of combat. Seeing the cannon doors open one after another and pushing out a "bed crossbow", Lu Shicheng was shocked, thinking that the little emperor gave them a meal and was about to send them back. Fortunately, they quickly left the anchorage and realized that it was not targeting him. Then he wiped his cold sweat and asked Du Hu beside him.
"It seems that Your Majesty wants to catch the big loach!" Du Hu judged based on the direction of the ship. However, he was also scared and thought that the child would turn against him if he said he would turn against him! But he was even more curious that His Majesty was personally commanding the three warships. Seeing his well-being waving the flag and commanding the ship to change formations, he didn't seem to be making a willful act, but he was a familiar person.
"Ah?! Your Majesty is too brave. This big loach is too afraid to avoid it. He still has to provoke them!" Lu Shicheng said in a cold sweat for His Majesty.
"General, you are familiar with the navy. How does Your Majesty command and dispatch?" Du Hu asked without taking the initiative and changed the subject.
"We have still seen the quality of the guards and naval forces. Look at His Majesty personally watches and dispatches ships. He is at least proficient in flag language, familiar with the performance of the ships, and understands the changes in the formation. When he saw a certain family today, he thought those rumors might be true!"
"Oh, it's the battle of His Majesty personally leading the army to defeat Liu Shen and kill his vanguard general Haladai?" Du Hu frowned.
"Well, you saw you just now. The navy commander wanted to stop His Majesty, but he kicked him away and gave his own orders. All ships acted according to the orders without hesitation. Obviously, His Majesty once commanded them to fight, which would have such an effect." Lu Shicheng said thoughtfully.
"Is that true?" Du Hu was still a little suspicious and suddenly said again, "Your Majesty seems to be waving the flag at us. What is he talking about?"
