Chapter 39 The War Will Be Burning (2)
Among them, the pistachio of Lewu brought him a lot of joy. Especially her clumsy appearance when she combed Zhao Dongting's hair like Ying Er, she always made Zhao Dongting and Ying Er laugh so hard that she couldn't stand up.
She really has no talent for combing her hair, needlework, and serving people. She is afraid she will have the wrong daughter.
However, her martial arts talent is quite good. Zhao Dongting once asked Yue Peng to practice with her, and the music and dance were actually very accurate.
Even Li Yuanxiu was attracted by the talent of music and dance. When she saw her practicing martial arts, she couldn't help but give her some advice.
In the past ten days, the first batch of porcelain jars have finally been delivered to Benzhou Island.
These porcelain jars are fired directly with sperm embryos according to Zhao Dongting's words. They are not exquisite, but they are in a regular shape, which makes Zhao Dongting quite satisfied.
The atmosphere in the weapons workshop suddenly became in full swing.
The craftsmen and guards were stuck inside, and everyone was covered in dust, but they were extremely motivated because they all knew that this was a big killing weapon.
Lei is the topic they have discussed the most these days.
Zhao Dongting taught them, so naturally he would not do it himself. While practicing, he would take Li Yuanxiu, Ying Er, and music and dance around the island of Benzhou.
However, he was not watching the scenery, but drawing a topographic map of the island of Chanzhou. Although there was thunder, he still couldn't take it lightly when dealing with the Yuan army.
Now everyone on the island is full of confidence in him, the little emperor, and Zhao Dongting also knows that he has the hope of everyone.
The people have been sent to Leizhou Prefecture in batches and settled down not far from the Leizhou Prefecture Ferry.
Li Yuanxiu had objections to this matter, but Zhao Dongting knew that even if Ge Lijun rebelled, he would not attack these people because there was no benefit.
However, the families of the ministers and the royal relatives of the royal family changed their minds and did not intend to let them go to the island of Chanzhou again.
If they are controlled by Ge Lijun in the future, it will inevitably be a problem.
Furthermore, Yang Shufei and the others were also unwilling to leave Benzhou Island and Zhao Dongting.
In this way, everyone is happy.
More than ten days later, Zhang Shijie received news that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng had set out from Fuzhou and came along the coast toward Benzhou Island.
At the same time, Yuan general Ali Hague was also ordered to start pacifying Hunan and Guangxi.
Large-scale wars spread again on this frosty, storm-ridden land.
The Yuan army seemed to be trying to completely destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one go.
The military and civilians on the island of Benzhou were preparing for war intensively.
But at this critical moment, there are still troubles.
On the morning court, Li Yuanxiu had just shouted that there was something to be heard, and Lu Xiufu, the official of the Privy Council, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to be heard."
Zhao Dongting has been wading through mountains and rivers these days, and he can't help but feel a little tired on his face, and he whispered: "My dear, please tell me."
Lu Xiufu looked angry, "Just half an hour ago, our army's treasure ship was robbed by the thieves."
"The treasure ship was robbed by the thief?"
Chen Jianghan, the Minister of Revenue, blinked and almost couldn't bounce it up, "How could this be?"
Tens of thousands of people on the island of Benzhou moved to Leizhou Prefecture, and the goods and supplies were naturally unavoidable. However, the goods and supplies were plundered and the matter was a big deal, so the treasure ship was robbed. Tens of thousands of people had to spend money to settle in Leizhou Prefecture, and this treasure ship was transporting gold, silver and jewelry.
Chen Jianghan is in charge of money, and it is already good that he didn't faint after hearing the news.
Zhao Dongting looked surprised, and then asked, "Can we know where the thief robbed him?"
Benzhou Island is located near the sea, and pirates are naturally raging in this sea area.
Lu Xiufu shook his head in shame, "I don't know yet. The thief took the boat and left. Our soldiers were not familiar with the sea area, and the fog was thick... and it was lost."
Zhao Dongting gave him full responsibility for the relocation of the people. Now that this happens, he thinks he has a great responsibility.
But Zhao Dongting didn't want to hold him accountable at all. He knew very well that the most urgent task was to find out which group of people took the action.
If this group of people is not punished, there will be a constant stream of pirates who dare to rob them in the future.
After pondering for a few moments, Zhao Dongting said, "This group of thieves must be punished as soon as possible. Do you have any tricks?"
Everyone started talking about it now.
Some said they sent people to investigate the world, while others said they simply led their troops to sweep all the pirates around them. But all of these were rejected by Zhao Dongting.
It takes too long to send people to investigate, but the people's transfer is urgent and the small court cannot afford to wait.
As for sweeping the surrounding pirates, it is even more inappropriate. The Yuan army is ready to go in Fuzhou, so it is not advisable to fight with these pirates to injure the soldiers.
You should know that there are not many pirates. There are pirate groups of at least hundreds of people and at most thousands of people around the island of Benzhou.
"Your Majesty, why don't we lead the snake out of the hole?"
Just when the ministers were worried, Su Quandang, who had been demoted to the commander of a certain squad in front of the palace, suddenly spoke out.
Zhao Dongting was tired and didn't come up with any good ideas. Hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He looked at Su Quandang and said, "Continue talking."
Su Quandang bent down and bowed, and then said, "The thieves plundered our army's treasure ship and tasted the sweetness. It is impossible for us to stop. Our army only needs to send the treasure ship out again. The face is secret, but it deliberately leaks out some news. The thieves will naturally attack."
Lu Xiufu chased his beard, "What if they see through this is our plan to lure the enemy?"
Su Quandang smiled and said, "If you don't have one, you will come twice. If you don't have two, you will come three times. The thief is greedy and cannot be able to endure it forever."
Zhao Dongting nodded secretly, but unexpectedly, Su Quandang was narrow-minded and had many ideas in his mind.
However, there are still loopholes in this matter.
Zhao Dongting said: "But if the thieves see that our fleet is large, they will definitely not take the risk of robbing them. How can we catch the soldiers we sent?"
When Lu Xiufu and the others heard the question raised by Zhao Dongting, they all looked at Su Quan.
Su Quandang said: "There is no need to catch them. Just send a small boat and arrange several masters to secretly follow them while the night is falling and find out where they are. At that time, sending soldiers to attack secretly, not only can you catch all the thieves in one place, but you can also get back the lost treasures."
Everyone's eyes shone and nodded repeatedly. Even Yue Peng looked at Su Quandang with a little admiration.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to be able to think about things in such a detailed and meticulous manner in a short period of time.
Zhao Dongting made a quick decision and said to Su Quandang: "Okay, then I will hand over this matter to you. The masters in the court will be transferred to you!"
Su Quandang got the opportunity to make a contribution and looked overjoyed, saying, "I will definitely live up to the entrusted lord of the emperor!"
