- This is simply a plague. Meng Tianxiong doesn't dare to think about it. This is the most terrifying and shocking situation in navigation.
"If those medicines are still there, I will have a way to control the disease from spreading." Wei Dong sighed.
This is clearly his complaint. Meng Tianxiong does not want to argue. Right and wrong are matters of justice. Everyone on the boat knew that if things had not been thrown into the sea to reduce the weight of the ship, everyone would have perished in the sea.
"What are you going to do now?" Meng Tianxiong was concerned about this.
¡°Place them in a cabin alone, and no one else can come into contact with them to prevent mutual infection,¡± Wei Dong said.
Meng Tianxiong nodded, and then asked two crew members to carry away the soldier who fell to the ground. When the crew came over and prepared to move him, Wei Dong said, "Tear off a piece of cloth and cover your mouth before doing anything."
The two crew members had just carried away the soldiers in accordance with Wei Dong's request. After Xiang Dashi held the woman and was pulled up by the crew, he placed the woman next to the soldiers.
Wei Dong was about to leave with the crew. When he saw the pale-faced woman, he asked doubtfully: "Who is she?"
¡°Look at the wound on her arm, she is bleeding too much and needs your timely treatment.¡± Meng Tianxiong shook his head and said.
Wei Dong frowned, then leaned down to examine the woman, and then came to the conclusion: "Looking at the situation, she has lost too much blood and can't hold on for long."
Although Meng Tianxiong knew that the situation of the woman in front of him was not good. But Wei Dong's words almost announced her death sentence.
"Can you also think of a solution?" Meng Tianxiong looked at Wei Dong hopefully.
"She has already entered the gate of hell with one foot. I am afraid that except for ginseng, nothing else can pull her back from the Lord of Hell." Wei Dong said, looking at the woman on the deck.
Where can I find ginseng at this time? Even if there was indeed ginseng on the ship, it would have been thrown into the sea long ago. It seemed that this woman was not destined to survive. Meng Tianxiong felt a little sad. How many people died silently at sea without their families knowing.
"Send her back to the boat." Meng Tianxiong's tone was a little low.
When sailing at sea, the method of dealing with dead people is usually to throw them directly into the sea. There are even people in many coastal countries who throw the bodies of their loved ones into the sea after their death to become food for fish and shrimp. Meng Tianxiong didn't want to do this. He believed that doing so was disrespectful to the deceased.
Xiang Dashi glanced at Meng Tianxiong silently, then tied the rope around his waist, picked up the woman again and prepared to disembark.
¡°There is ginseng in my cabin.¡± Long Zhantian appeared in front of Meng Tianxiong, with Lin Jinjia and Li Dongsheng standing behind him.
The sudden appearance of Long Zhantian. Meng Tianxiong was surprised, and what surprised him even more was that he had ginseng. He saw the confusion in Meng Tianxiong's eyes, smiled lightly and said: "No one dared to enter my cabin yesterday to throw things, so I left things that might be useful. I didn't expect that ginseng would come in handy so quickly."
Meng Tianxiong smiled, and then said to Xiang Dashi, "Will you carry her to Mr. Wei's cabin immediately?"
Xiang Dashi ran towards Wei Dong's cabin without waiting to untie the rope on his body, so Qiang San had to untie the rope for him while running. The tall and burly Xiang Dashi ran in front, while Qiang San, a short and thin man, followed behind. The situation was extremely interesting. The crew members and soldiers on the side saw the strange appearance of the two people. They all laughed. Amidst the laughter, Wei Dong also followed the two of them and walked towards his cabin.
"You go to Commander Long's command cabin to get the ginseng and deliver it to Mr. Wei." Meng Tianxiong gave the order to Sun De without waiting for Long Zhantian's instructions. He knew that time is life now.
After Long Zhantian nodded, Sun Decai followed one of Long Zhantian's soldiers to the command cabin. The soldiers also stayed away from Long Zhantian when they saw him, and Meng Tianxiong also asked the crew to return to their respective posts.
Meng Tianxiong, Lin Jinjia and Li Dongsheng followed Long Zhantian to the lookout pavilion at the stern of the ship. Long Zhantian asked the soldiers on duty to leave, and the four people boarded the pavilion.
??????????????????From the lookout pavilion, you can see far into the distance. I saw the rippling blue waves of the sea, so calm and beautiful, and there was no trace of the raging hurricane and heavy rain yesterday. It seems peaceful and beautiful, but it hides huge dangers. This is the most wonderful and unforgettable lesson that the sea taught Meng Tianxiong. He will never relax his vigilance because of the temporary calm. In front of the sea, a person's power is very powerful. Small.
"What is our biggest difficulty now?" Long Zhantian suddenly asked.
"Plague." Meng Tianxiong blurted out without even thinking.
Long Zhantian nodded and asked again:?What measures do you have in place? "
¡°I need Wei Dong¡¯s assessment of the epidemic.¡± Meng Tianxiong said.
"What else do we need to evaluate? I think we should throw all the infected people into the sea." Li Dongsheng became impatient and shouted loudly.
Meng Tianxiong has certainly thought of this method, and it is also the safest method. But if he did this, more than twenty lives would be lost in one fell swoop. Meng Tianxiong could not do such a thing.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Li Dongsheng said loudly: "If they don't die, more people will die."
"I believe Wei Dong will find a way." It took Meng Tianxiong a long time to hold back these words.
"You are deceiving yourself." Li Dongsheng said, staring into Meng Tianxiong's eyes.
Meng Tianxiong did not avoid Li Dongsheng's gaze this time. He once again reiterated his point of view: "We are at sea now. Only if everyone works together can we survive, otherwise we will only face death."
"You want everyone to perish together." Li Dongsheng had no intention of giving in.
Lin Jinjia said as he walked under the lookout pavilion: "Tell me the result after you finish arguing. I'd better appreciate the beauty and evil of the sea while I'm still alive."
Long Zhantian grabbed him and asked, "Tell me your opinion."
Lin Jinjia looked at the three people in front of him. Then he said: "I think Wei Dong has the best say in how to deal with the sick crew members."
"Don't say that Wei Dong's medical skills are mediocre. Even if he is the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, he can't save them when there are no medicines on the ship." Li Dongsheng obviously refused to give up his claim.
This sentence made Meng Tianxiong stunned. Wei Dong did not seem to be proficient in medical skills. If he was expected to control the spread of the disease on the ship, Meng Tianxiong felt very uneasy. But we can¡¯t just throw all these living people into the sea, right? There must be other ways. Meng Tianxiong turned his attention to Lin Jinjia, hoping that he could stand on his side.
"I have nothing more to say." Lin Jinjia curled his lips and left the observation pavilion.
Meng Tianxiong was a little disappointed with Lin Jinjia's attitude that it had nothing to do with him. He turned his attention to Long Zhantian, hoping that he could make a decision. But Long Zhantian's eyes were attracted by other things.
"What is that?" Long Zhantian asked, pointing to the sea in the distance.
Meng Tianxiong looked in the direction of Long Zhantian's finger and saw a black ship appearing behind him, sailing towards the "Happiness" quickly with its sails spread.
Meng Tianxiong¡¯s expression changed. I couldn't help shouting: "Pirates!"
Meng Tianxiong's words made Long Zhantian's expression change, but he quickly regained his composure, and even a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Meng Tianxiong saw Zhang's pirate ship coming quickly with the help of the wind, his expression was not as relaxed as Long Zhantian's. As a fisherman, he knew how ferocious the pirates were. Now that they were heading towards the "Happiness", they were definitely coming with bad intentions.
"They are really blind. Didn't they see that we were flying the pirate alliance flag?" Long Zhantian couldn't help but glance at the flag above his head.
The wind was blowing, and the huge pirate flag was flying high on the mast. But at this moment, the pirate ship didn't pay any attention to the flag of the "Happiness". Their boat speed was getting faster and faster, and they were getting closer and closer to the "Happiness".
"What are they trying to do?" Long Zhantian's face turned pale as he handed the binoculars to Lin Jinjia.
After reading it, Lin Jinjia handed it to Meng Tianxiong, smiled lightly and said, "Maybe they don't even recognize what the alliance flag on the ship represents."
"They dare to approach Hu Benwei's ship, they are seeking death." Long Zhantian's eyes were cold.
Meng Tianxiong picked up the telescope and saw that the bow of the pirate ship was full of pirates. They were waving the dazzling knives in their hands and shouting towards the "Happiness".
As expected, the person who came here was evil. Meng Tianxiong said to Long Zhantian: "These people are extremely vicious. As long as there is something to rob, they will never worry about anything."
Long Zhantian said to Li Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, you go and gather the soldiers. I want to see how this ragtag group of people can fight against the well-trained Ming Navy."
"It's an order." Li Dongsheng hurriedly got out of the observation pavilion.
Meng Tianxiong didn't wait for Long Zhantianxia's order, he turned around and prepared to go to the deck to instruct the crew to increase the sailing speed of the "Huanxi" to get rid of the pirate ship's pursuit.
Meng Tianxiong hadn't taken many steps when Long Zhantian's voice sounded behind him: "Turn the bow around and sail towards the pirate ship."
"Commander Long?" Meng Tianxiong stopped in his tracks and turned his head in disbelief.
"How could the mighty Ming Dynasty navy be chased by a group of pirates?" Long Zhantian's tone left no room for doubt.
"It's not easy for the crew and soldiers of the "Happiness" to survive. Let them face the pirates now and they will die." Meng Tianxiong didn't know where he got the courage to actually dare to argue with Long Zhantian.
"You are shaking the morale of the army and you should be killed according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!" There was a faint murderous look in Long Zhantian's eyes.
Meng Tianxiong knew that even though he had brought a boatload of people out of death, if he said one more nonsense, the first person to die would be himself. What Long Zhantian needs at this moment is to safeguard the dignity of Ming Dynasty. For the dignity of the country, anyone can make sacrifices.
¡°Turn the bow around and move closer to the ship behind.¡± Meng Tianxiong shouted loudly as he ran.
The crew acted quickly under Meng Tianxiong's order, and the "Huanxi" began to turn the bow.
Meng Tianxiong was on the ship directing the crew to sail, while Li Dongsheng gathered the soldiers on the deck. The "Huanxi" was full of tense and busy scenes.
Soon, the soldiers lined up neatly in three teams, waiting for orders. Li Dongsheng held down the knife hanging on his waist and stood silently, scanning the soldiers in front of him with a stern expression. Soon, he discovered the first problem. Due to disease, the number of combat-effective soldiers on the "Happiness" was greatly reduced.
"Happiness" is not a main warship, but the soldiers on board also carry more than a hundred soldiers, but the number of soldiers standing in front of him at this moment is less than half of the total.
"Where have the others gone?" Li Dongsheng showed a fierce look and shouted dissatisfied. His eyes once again swept across the three groups of soldiers in front of him.
Under Li Dongsheng¡¯s sharp and cold gaze, many soldiers lowered their heads involuntarily. At this time, his eyes rested on the face of a young soldier at the end of the first row. His unusually pale face was in sharp contrast to his black helmet, and a large bullet was popping out of his head. He sweated heavily and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"What's the matter with you? Are you afraid of war?" Li Dongsheng shouted dissatisfied.
The young soldier did not answer him, but fell to the deck with a "plop". When several soldiers around him saw him falling, they not only did not step forward to help him, but instead stepped aside. The team that had just been sorted out immediately became chaotic.
"Report to Commander Li, all the soldiers who can fight are here. They can't come because they are sick." A centurion stood up from the team and reported to Li Dongsheng.
Li Dongsheng glanced at the trembling soldiers huddled on the deck, and he understood why he suddenly turned pale and fell down trembling. He did not expect that the disease would spread so quickly. Half of the soldiers were actually infected with the disease. Maybe not long after, everyone on the ship would be infected with the disease.
Li Dongsheng couldn't help but touch his hard forehead and found that his hands were covered with sweat. Sure enough, there was a plague on the ship. Although he was a warrior, he also understood that many times the key factor that determines the outcome of a battle or even a war is disease. Invasion.
"You two throw him into the sea." Li Dongsheng pointed at the two soldiers at the end of the first row and gave an order.
The two soldiers looked at him blankly, seeming a little overwhelmed by this understanding. One soldier muttered under his breath: "He's still alive."
"Throw him into the sea." Seeing that the two soldiers had not taken action, Li Dongsheng's rough voice rang out again. This time he also found a bright knife from his waist. He would not hesitate to violate the order. Cut off their heads.
According to the method Wei Dong taught everyone, the two soldiers first covered their noses with one hand, and then used the other hand to lift the infected soldier and walked to the side of the ship.
Meng Tianxiong had been busy on the deck. When he heard Li Dongsheng's order, he quickly ran to the side of the ship and blocked the way of the two soldiers.
"He is still alive, you can't throw him into the sea." Meng Tianxiong looked directly into Li Dongsheng's eyes.
"This is a plague! If they don't get thrown into the sea, everyone here will die!" Li Dongsheng looked at him and said sternly. . - Didn't finish reading?
