Chapter 264 Prologue
However, in fact, materials are only one aspect.
The geographical environment of Pirate Island is very special.
After some investigation, we have learned that the environment of Pirate Island is extremely good and the land resources are extremely fertile. The pirates even planted grains on Pirate Island to ensure their daily needs.
If we can occupy Pirate Island now.
That is, you can recuperate, spread and develop on the Pirate Island.
Turn it into a territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Then, you can use the Pirate Island as a springboard to continue your conquest further afield.
Maybe they can break out of the vast ocean and reach other countries.
When the time comes, it will also be the beginning of the world war!
This is how the so-called one emperor through the ages came about.
Therefore, Pirate Island is not only a treasure land, but also has extremely rich strategic and historical significance.
At the same time, if the Navy can achieve a complete victory this time.
That would also make the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty once again shocked by the combat power of the Navy.
From then on, one can know the importance of navy.
In the future, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not face too much resistance if he wanted to develop the navy.
All ministers will know that this is the general trend.
Apart from support, there must be no other thoughts.
But speaking of it, Marquis Anding is really stingy.
Although he had so many means in his hand, he didn't know how to take them all out at once. Instead, he took them out one by one, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
It made him feel that Tang Qi's trump cards were really countless, so many that they were countless.
"There's still food..."
While thinking about it, Liu Che saw the iron plate squid's deeds again.
Although he had never eaten squid on a sizzling plate, Liu Che knew Tang Qi's incredible cooking skills better than anyone else.
Therefore, as soon as he learned the name, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips.
Even the snacks I was eating no longer tasted good.
For a moment, I felt a little envious of those soldiers.
They went on an expedition with Tang Qi, and they were able to eat such delicious food on the sea. But he was sitting in the palace, not to mention eating, and couldn't even look at it.
When I think about it, I suddenly feel unbalanced.
If he had known earlier, he should have taken the lead and conquered it himself!
In this way, you can also enjoy delicacies like sizzling squid.
At the same time, in Zhuo Mansion.
Zhuo Wenjun no longer goes to Dahan Department Store recently. Instead, he sits on the rafters every day and stares at the mountains in the distance in a daze.
Scenes like this have been going on for many days since Tang Qi left.
Before, she had been standing by the port waiting. If Zhuo Wangsun hadn't forcibly pulled her back, she would probably still be blowing the sea breeze there.
Tang Qi's appearance came to mind.
Zhuo Wenjun couldn't help but sigh resentfully. It had been so many days without any news, and he didn't know when Tang Qi would be able to come back.
"Jun'er, I heard that the Marquis sent His Majesty a secret letter from the battlefield. The letter said that the Marquis is safe and sound! He is in excellent health and can eat and sleep well."
Zhuo Wangsun had just returned from the palace and couldn't wait to tell Zhuo Wenjun the news.
My daughter, since Tang Qi left, has been in a state of disbelief. She can't even eat, let alone sleep.
It has only been a while, but I already look thinner than before.
But Zhuo Wangsun felt very distressed.
He is just such a precious daughter, and he still hopes that Zhuo Wenjun will inherit the Zhuo family business in the future. What if Zhuo Wenjun has an accident, what will he do in the future?
"Really? Is there a letter home for me?"
When Zhuo Wenjun heard this, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.
Zhuo Wangsun shook his head: "It is so difficult to send information back from the sea. As for letters from home, don't have any wishful thinking."
Hearing this, the excitement in Zhuo Wenjun's eyes dimmed again.
The soul that had just returned now drifted away again in an instant.
The whole person returned to that state of despair.
Even if Zhuo Wangsun tried to persuade her, he would not say a word.
Looking at this scene, Zhuo Wangsun couldn't help but shake his head with regret.
It seems that my daughter is really moved by her true feelings...
Now I just hope that Anding Hou can come back smoothly.
If anything happened to him, his daughter would probably go with him without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Wangsun couldn't help shouting: "Jun'er, you are idle anyway, why don't we go to the temple and pray for the Marquis?"
"OK."
Only then did Zhuo Wenjun come back to his senses.
Although it is just feudal superstition.
I also know it has no effect.
But if she could guarantee Tang Qi's safe return, then she would be willing to try anything.
On the other side, naval warships continued to sail on the sea.
Today is another rare good weather.
The sky is clear and the sea is calm. On the desert island in the distance, you can see a large number of seagulls and seabirds flying.
In the clear sea water, you can also see many sea fish swimming happily.
In fact, during the entire process of going out to sea, Tang Qi and the others came into contact with quite a few desert islands. At first, they avoided most of them in order to rush for time.
But later, when he encountered a desert island again, Tang Qi would arrange for the navy to land on it.
Firstly, it is to stretch the muscles and bones and change everyone's mood. Secondly, it is also to find some wild fruits and other food on these desert islands.
Fruits are consumables.
Even if you bring more when you go out, after such a long time, the fruit is actually almost used up.
How can we live without fruits on the sea?
How to supplement vitamins?
Therefore, I have to be more diligent when I go to the island. If I can really find some wild fruits, that will be great.
Of course, accidents happen from time to time.
Not all wild fruits are edible.
Some soldiers did not know why and accidentally ate some poisonous wild fruits, which caused them to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea.
For this reason, Tang Qi deliberately issued a military order.
From now on, all wild fruits found on desert islands must be carefully inspected by him to make sure there are no problems before they can eat them.
Although it was a little troublesome, it also brought a huge workload to Tang Qi.
But there is nothing we can do.
After all, the medical conditions brought with him when he went to sea were limited. If he was poisoned, even Tang Qi would be helpless.
If it's just vomiting and diarrhea, that's it. If you eat some highly poisonous fruit, you can only watch the soldiers' souls flying for nine days.
Unnecessary casualties like this should be avoided if possible.
And at one end of the desert island.
A huge warship also stayed here.
It was not Tang Qi's new battlefield, but a warship unique to the Han Dynasty, but it was obviously modified, and in terms of performance, it was much better than the common warships of the Tang Navy.
