Chapter 1305 Return to Shuobei

After sailing on the sea for nearly a month, Yun Zheng and his crew finally returned to Xinjin in Shuobei.

Many people felt relieved when they stepped on solid ground.

“It’s still better to feel down to earth!”

Qin Qihu stomped the ground under his feet, feeling filled with emotion.

Listening to Qin Qihu's words, many people nodded in agreement.

In the later stages of the voyage, although most people had adapted to life at sea, drifting on the sea all day long still did not feel as solid and comfortable as standing on solid ground.

"Okay, stop sighing!"

Yun Zheng looked at Qin Qihu with a smile, "Do you want to eat anything else?"

"I want to..."

When it comes to eating, Qin Qihu immediately becomes excited.

He wants it so much!

After eating dried vegetables and sea fish for so long at sea, he now wants to hug and kiss the green vegetables whenever he sees them.

I have to treat myself to some greens while I can still find them.

In a while, it will be difficult to eat fresh vegetables in Shuobei.

"Let's go back to the camp first."

Yun Zheng called Qin Qihu and the others, and then instructed Zhao Liuliang, "Settle these Yu people down first."

"Yes!"

Zhao Liuliang acted quickly.

These Yu people were both their captives and their masters.

Along the way, they did learn a lot from these Yu people.

In particular, they learned how to judge the hydrological conditions and how to check the weather at sea. They also learned from the Yu people how to make a simple but practical tool that can be used to detect whether the seabed is a sandy seabed, a reef seabed, or something else.

Seeing the value of these Yu State captives, Zhao Liuliang will definitely continue to exploit their value.

At that time, they can also let these Yu Kingdom captives assist them in drawing more detailed nautical charts.

After separating from Zhao Liuliang, they came to the navy camp.

The first thing we did when we arrived at the navy camp was to have someone prepare food for them.

Eat well and sleep well today!

Tomorrow I will discuss with the generals and admirals of the navy the problems encountered and their solutions during this voyage.

After following the navy on this trip, Yun Zheng also discovered many problems.

He already had solutions to some problems, but for others he had no solutions yet and could only pool ideas.

After all, he is not a god and it is impossible for him to understand everything.

During the break, Yun Zheng instructed Lin Ji again: "Rest well tonight, and tomorrow you go and ask Moyang Horse Farm to mobilize some horses for us!"

Their horses did not follow them by sea on this trip.

If so many war horses were to travel by sea, not to mention the problem of fodder, they wouldn't even be able to fit them all.

When launching a landing operation against the State of Yu in the future, we will definitely need to bring war horses.

The transportation of war horses and their early adaptation to the maritime environment are also problems they need to solve in the future.

Lin Ji received the order: "I will go to Moyang Racecourse now!"

"Not urgent."

Yun Zheng stopped Lin Ji and said, "You've been busy for so long, take a good rest first! By the way, go call the deputy admiral of the navy, Deng Xiu."

"Yes!"

They had sat down to rest for less than a quarter of an hour when Lin Ji arrived with the deputy admiral of the navy.

"General Deng Xiu, I pay my respects to you..."

"Okay, no more empty formalities."

Yun Zheng stopped Deng Xiu and said, "I called you here to ask you if there have been any major events in Shuobei in the past few months?"

All in all, they have been away for almost half a year.

There has been no news from Shuobei for such a long time.

I don’t know if there will be any major events happening in Shuobei this year.

Of course, calm and peaceful is the best.

Deng Xiu thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think I've heard of anything major. There was just a large-scale rotation of guards some time ago. The navy didn't need to be rotated, so they didn't receive any orders to do so."

"Change of defense?"

Miaoyin frowned and looked at Yun Zheng sideways.

Before Yun Zheng left Shuofang, he probably didn't tell anyone about the rotation of guards, right?

Yun Zheng was also secretly puzzled in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Besides the change of guard, is there nothing else important?"

"That... I don't know."

Deng Xiu smiled awkwardly, "I spent most of my time in the navy camp and didn't move around much, so I'm not sure."

"Okay! I won't embarrass you then." Yun Zheng smiled, "Then go and get busy first! When the food is ready later, we can eat together!"

"Thank you, Your Highness! I will take my leave!"

Deng Xiu bowed and left.

"Have you explained the rotation?"

As soon as Deng Xiu left, Qin Qihu couldn't wait to ask.

"No."

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly.

He had just carried out a large-scale rotation of defense when he transferred troops to Fuzhou the year before last. Why would he change the defense again so soon?

"That's weird!"

Miaoyin frowned, "Without your order and without any war, how could there be a sudden large-scale rotation of defenses?"

Yun Zheng is not in Shuobei, so even if the cabinet wants to transfer troops, it needs the consent of Ye Zi and Shen Luoyan.

If it wasn't a big deal, they shouldn't have made large-scale changes in defense!

unless……

As she was thinking about it, Miaoyin's heart suddenly started.

Could it be that someone took advantage of Yun Zheng's absence to seize power in Shuobei?

Are the people in the palace under house arrest?

But soon, Miaoyin gave up the idea.

Given Yun Zheng's prestige in the army, anyone who wants to seize power must ask the generals in the army for their consent.

Yun Zheng thought for a moment, then immediately wrote a warrant and handed it to Lin Ji: "Let the navy send someone to Tianhu Lake, and order the governor of Tianhu County to rush to the navy camp overnight!"

"Yes!"

Lin Ji immediately took the order and left.

Yun Zheng now couldn’t understand what was going on.

There is no point in them making wild guesses now.

I can only ask the county magistrate of Tianhu first to see if he knows some inside information.

Anyway, there must be a reason why Shuobei made large-scale substitutions.

"I say, is it your fourth brother who is causing trouble?"

Qin Qihu asked bluntly.

"Probably not?"

Yun Zheng frowned and said, "If the fourth brother wants to stir up trouble, he must have the strength to do so! Unless he can make everyone in the cabinet obey him and lock up Luo Yan and the others!"

“Yeah… that’s right!”

Qin Qihu nodded and tilted his head to think.

Besides Yun Ting, who else might be causing trouble in Shuobei?

"Then it's probably your third brother who sent someone to cause trouble!"

Qin Qihu immediately gave a new judgment, "I guess he wants to take advantage of you leading the army to go to war and cause chaos in Shuobei!"

"That's possible."

Yunzheng nodded.

It may be hard to say about others, but the third brother definitely wants to cause trouble.

For the third brother, the more chaotic Shuobei is, the better it is for him.

"Could it be that something happened in the Northwest Protectorate or over there?"

At this time, Miaoyin started to guess again.

"It's possible!"
