Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the northern coast of East Java, this is a small plain isolated by mountains and dense forests. Only one side faces the sea. If the residents on the plain want to communicate with the outside world, they can only take a boat out to sea and then find another landing point to land.  This is mainly because the mountains and dense forests on three sides of the plain are not traversable by humans at all, so this small plain is also very hidden.

    Originally, there was a small tribe of hundreds of people living on this small plain. But just a few years ago, a regular Han army broke in. They killed all the elders, women and children of the tribe, leaving only  They recruited young and strong men, and then, driven by the slave-catching team, they built a strong stronghold together with some slaves who were transported here. However, after the construction of the stronghold was completed, all the slaves who participated in the construction were killed.

    Afterwards, a group of strange people stationed in this stronghold. All of them were wearing white robes, covering their entire bodies tightly. Some people even had masks on their faces, with only a pair of cold eyes exposed.  Everyone who is seen by them will feel as if their whole body has been stripped naked, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.  It is for this reason that the five hundred troops stationed outside the stronghold rarely have contact with these people.

    After these people in white robes entered the stronghold, someone soon sent a group of Javanese slaves, including men, women, old and young, and even many terminally ill patients. If these people were released,  Among other slaves, they could never be sold, but the people in this stronghold seemed to welcome the patients very much, and were happier to see them than to see ordinary slaves.

    In addition, except for the local native slaves on Java Island, every once in a while.  There will be some special fleets arriving here, and the slaves sent from these fleets have different shapes.  There are natives with dark skin, as well as Indians and Persians with high noses and deep eyes.  And quite a few of them are patients.

    These distant fleets often unload batches of large, long boxes that look like coffins, and when these boxes are lifted down, some of them will emit waves of cold air, as if they have just arrived from  They look like ice cubes coming out of the ice cellar, and some smell like pungent alcohol, occasionally mixed with some rotten stench, which makes people want to vomit.

    And whenever these distant fleets arrive, the people in the stronghold will feel like they are facing a powerful enemy.  All those involved in transporting slaves and items wore special clothes that wrapped their whole body, hands and feet, and wore a special cover on their heads. They breathed through a mask, and the mask had a vent with the outside world.  The small box containing charcoal alcohol is similar in principle to later hookahs. The inhaled gas will be double filtered by alcohol and charcoal. The eyes of the mask are also made of closed glass, which can be said to be very tightly protected.

    After transporting slaves and items.  All crew members in the fleet will also be quarantined and observed in the base for a period of time. As soon as any symptoms are found, they will be immediately isolated and treated by the best doctors.  If the other party dies unfortunately, he will be secretly awarded a special medal by the Qi Palace, and his wife and children at home will also be supported by the government.

    The location of this stronghold does not exist on the officially released map.  Only some particularly confidential military maps will mark the location of this stronghold.  Moreover, the name of this stronghold is also very strange. Generally, only the words "Ghost Cry" are marked on the map.  Therefore, people who knew this stronghold for the first time called it Gui Crying Stronghold, but those who really knew the origin of this stronghold called it 'Ghost Crying Island'.

    ?? Ghost Cry Island was originally an ordinary island in the Tsushima Strait. Because there are many caves on the island, when the sea breeze pours in, it will make a shrill trombone sound, so it was named Ghost Cry Island.  However, Li Min later established an anatomy academy on the island, and appointed Wu Tiande, an unscrupulous Taoist priest who was born among widowers, as its dean, specializing in the study of human body structure in order to promote the development of medical technology.

    Wu Tiande's achievements on Guwai Island were outstanding. After several years of research, the School of Anatomy not only drew a large number of human body structure diagrams, but also conducted research on some common diseases, found the diseased parts and made specimens, and then compared them with normal parts.  Do comparative research. This kind of intuitive medical research has greatly promoted the development of existing medicine. Some previously incurable diseases now have a treatment idea. I believe that in a few years, someone will develop a specific treatment method.  .

    But next, under the auspices of Wu Tiande, Guichou Island Anatomy School began to conduct research on a huge medical topic, that is, the prevention and treatment of plague.  After all, no matter in which era, as long as there is a plague, it means that countless people have been killed by the disease, and it is normal for even hundreds of thousands of people to die at one time.

    "And when the plague comes, it doesn't care whether you are a noble or a commoner. Everyone is equal before the disease. In other words, even if Li Min's family is infected with the plague, they will at most accept it better than the common people."There are some more advanced treatments, but with Datang's current medical level, even though it has improved a lot than before, Li Min still doesn't have any confidence.

    This is exactly the case, so Li Min fully agreed with Wu Tiande's research project on finding the cause of the plague. However, if he wanted to study the plague, the original Guiwei Island was not suitable. After all, it was too far away from Sanhan and Japan.  Recently, if the plague spreads during research, it will be a big deal.  Therefore, it is best to move the Anatomy School to a place far away from the power of Datang and Li Min.

    Although Li Min hopes that the research on the plague will be as far away from him as possible, if it is too far away, the research materials will be difficult to transport, and safety cannot be guaranteed, so it is best for this place to be within Li Min's sphere of influence, and  Naturally, the only islands that met this condition were the Southeast Asian islands. In the end, Li Min and Wu Tiande chose Java, a slave-producing area, after much selection.

    Firstly, the location of Java is remote enough, far away from the Tang Dynasty and the areas actually controlled by Li Min. Secondly, it is a slave-producing area, and the slaves needed can be arranged nearby. As for the safety issue, Li Min at the time did not think it was necessary.  Worrying, because the slave-catching team has established many strongholds on the Jutuo Bank, and I have never heard that the natives have the courage to attack.  It is precisely because of these advantages that there is finally a special stronghold on Java Island.

    In addition, the personnel involved in the research on these plagues were also separately organized by Li Min into a special unit, codenamed Gui Crying Island. This was also decided unanimously by Wu Tiande and his subordinates. After all, they had made great achievements on Gui Crying Island.  Achievements, so they want to continue the glory of Devil's Crying Island.

    But at that time, Li Min did not expect that a few years later, Java Island would be in the current situation. The rebellion in West Java had not yet been put down, and East Java and Central Java launched domestic natives to attack Han strongholds. Ordinarily,  The location of the Guichou Island stronghold is very hidden. All the natives who participated in the construction were killed, and the native slaves who were transported later had no access. Therefore, except for the people in the stronghold and some Taiwanese senior officials, no one should know  The existence of this stronghold is.

    But there are no permanent secrets in this world, and the location of the Gui Crying Island stronghold was not known how. It was also known to the army of the Kingdom of East Java, and then an army was sent to attack the Gui Crying Island stronghold in a small boat. The number of people reached  More than five thousand people.

    Fortunately, although East Java knows the location of Guiwei Island, it does not know what this stronghold is used for. It only subjectively believes that Guiwai Island, like other strongholds, is a place for the slave-catching team to rest and hide.  Otherwise, if they knew that the local natives were being used for experiments, then the attackers would not be 5,000 people, but 50,000 people.

    The Guiwei Island stronghold was unprepared for the attack by the natives, but fortunately this was not an ordinary stronghold. There was an elite force of 500 people stationed outside the stronghold all year round, and the troops were also equipped with many firearms, such as grenades and rocket launchers.  Wait, there are even a hundred musketeers. It can be said that both offense and defense are very sharp.

    It is precisely this way that when the five thousand native troops landed, they were immediately violently attacked by these five hundred people. As a result, they suffered heavy losses and had to retreat temporarily.  But five hundred people are too few, and these five thousand people are the first wave of attacks by the natives. If it is delayed, the natives are likely to mobilize a large army, and by then the entire Guiwei Island stronghold will be in trouble.  .

    It is precisely because of this that Wu Tiande, as the highest officer, immediately ordered all personnel to conduct an emergency evacuation. Except for some valuable research equipment and precious research materials, there was no need to bring anything else with them.

    In this way, all the researchers in the Guichou Island stronghold hurriedly boarded the ship, but they needed to take away a lot of research equipment and data. Large and small boxes were kept being transported to the ship, but it seemed that it would take at least a few  It takes an hour to complete the shipment.

    The natives who were temporarily repelled by five hundred elites were not stupid. They soon saw the people in the stronghold moving things onto the ship. They thought those boxes were filled with gold and silver, so everyone was red-eyed. Again  They launched one wave after another of violent attacks. Although they suffered huge casualties each time, in the spirit of sacrifice for people and money, the native soldiers were fearless, not to mention that the opponent's army was smaller than theirs.  many.

    In this emergency situation, Wu Tiande had to abandon some valuable experimental equipment and bring the more important experimental data on board first. After finally moving it, 500 elite soldiers had already died in the battle, and 100 of the remaining  Almost everyone was injured, and when the soldiers boarded the ship, they were once again violently attacked by the natives in order to prevent them from boarding the ship.  The last team of fifty people broke up on the shore, and then other soldiers were allowed to board the ship smoothly, but all fifty people died on the beach.

    After driving away Wu Tiande, this native force immediately rushed into the Guiwei Island stronghold, trying toThey were looking for the property that the Han people had not come and had taken away, but what they found were corpses full of plague viruses!  (To be continued)
