Chapter 979 God’s Blessing
He Lingchuan patted his sleeves and stood up: "I've fished enough, it's time for you to go back."
Killing the white bird was not only an eye-catcher but also a disincentive for him.
Monitoring the landowners in Yangshan Islands, tut, so rude!
After Min Tianxi left, Jingjing asked He Lingchuan: "You killed the white bird just like that, didn't you just scare the snake away?"
"This is the effect we want. This is a warning to Yu Zecheng." He Lingchuan stretched out, "Just kill a white bird. The Bejia people will not be scared away."
This kind of contempt and provocation forced Yu Zecheng to make up his mind and take action as soon as possible.
If he put the white bird back, it would be suspected of showing weakness, and Yu Zecheng might try other gentle methods.
It’s better not to waste everyone’s time.

The next day, Mr. Yang from Bailie went to Dao Feng Port to do business, and stopped by the Shipping Department to say hello to Wu Tiju. The two had a personal friendship.
Wu Tiju also happened to come back in a hurry. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "You came just in time, so I don't have to send Bailie a message."
"What?" Chief Yang always felt that his smile was a little forced.
He didn't know that when Wu Tiju saw Bailie's officials now, he would think of Baoji and other three good ships that he had been sank by evil spirits, and his heart would feel blocked.
If the Lu family hadn't insisted on embarrassing him and the island owner, and had repeatedly assured him that this young boy was "just" an easy-to-deal with overseas guest and had no influence at all in the local area, how could he have suffered such a big loss?
Just, haha.
The ship broke down and he was responsible for all the losses. Did Bailie share a big burden for him?
Of course, in Wu Tiju's city, these complaints were buried deep in his heart, and even Zhao Qianshi couldn't hear a word of them.
"Our company has just used a hybrid meter to determine that a hurricane will hit in thirty hours at the latest."
The hybrid instrument is a special instrument used by the Municipal Maritime Bureau and can detect natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
"Oh, the hurricane is coming." Master Yang thought to himself, this is not a good thing. Why are you smiling so happily? "Why did the hurricane come without warning? I saw it had rained in the past few days, but today the sun is shining brightly."
"You are not from the seaside, you don't understand." Wu Tiju said with a smile, "Before this hurricane comes, sometimes it is windy and rainy for a long time, and sometimes it is like today, with clear skies! There is nothing wrong with the hybrid instrument. It will take more than ten hours to see the outcome.”
Chief Yang nodded repeatedly: "This is a big deal. I'll report back to Bailie and come back to you for dinner another day."
Bailie is very close to Blade Port, so it cannot escape the influence of hurricanes. Once severe weather is detected here at the Shibo Department, Bailie must prepare early.
He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming: "By the way, where is the Yangshan Islands?"
He has been staying in Bailie these days, and he still doesn't know what happened in Blade Port.
Wu Tiju didn't want to mention that he had suffered a big loss, so he just said vaguely: "The person named He has some tricks that are difficult to deal with."
Chief Yang was surprised: "What?"
Listening to this sentence, could Wu Tiju be manipulated?
Wu Tiju smiled: "It's time for you to go back. The power of this hurricane is amazing."
Master Yang knew something was wrong, so he said "oh" and hurriedly left the Shibo Department.
Wu Tiju stretched and felt much more relaxed.
His family's hundred acres of mountain forest and hundred acres of paddy fields have been harvested long ago, and their products have been sold at high prices, but the Yangshan Islands are different. According to his understanding, the agricultural work on the islands is far from finished, and there are even a lot of buildings still under construction.
When a hurricane comes, it will destroy everything.
Outsiders like He Lingchuan didn't originally live by the sea, so they knew nothing about the power of hurricanes. What's more, it's too late to start defending now.
The Yangshan Islands are so vast. The area of Dragon's Back Island alone is as large as several Blade Ports. The stall is so big, does He want to protect his property?
Haha, just think about it, it’s a beautiful thought.
The last time the Bega people asked him to deal with He Lingchuan, he weighed the pros and cons and refused, but that didn't mean he didn't want revenge.
This time it’s God’s blessing! Let the ferocious hurricane teach these blind fanatics a lesson!
Thinking of this, Wu Tiju felt a breath of bad breath coming from his heart.
But at this time, Zhao Qianshi handed him a silver-gray letter, sealed with silver clay.
Wu Tiju knew at the first glance that it was a letter from Concubine Yu. He was slightly stunned, so he stood back before opening the letter and reading it.
Sure enough, although the letter he sent to Qingdu did not mention a word about the relationship between He Lingchuan and Yin Fei, Concubine Yu still knew about it. Concubine Yu obviously had another spy at the port. She was very angry about the fact that the "Herring" ship was dragged down by Yinji and ordered Wu Tiju to severely punish Yangshan Islands.
Wu Tiju was ten thousand unwilling.
He really wanted to give He Lingchuan some color, but He Lingchuan had already proven that he was not a pushover.
Wu Tiju is not that kind of fool. He knows that the other party has a strong idea, but he always wants to reach out and prick him. Every time he pricks him with blood, he will not remember it next time.
Once he suffers a small loss, he will know the opponent's strength.
Besides, Bega and Bailie looked more anxious. How about leaving this opportunity to them.
However, Wu Tiju also knew Concubine Yu's temper. If he told her that He Lingchuan was not easy to deal with and the scorpions in the sea were not easy to deal with, she would just scold him again and order him to think about it immediately, immediately, and quickly. Method.
"How difficult can it be to kill someone?" He could imagine Concubine Yu's tone when she said this.
He was promoted by Concubine Yu, so he couldn't disobey her. He could only write that the hurricane was coming and Yangshan Islands would suffer huge losses. Bailie, who sold the islands, had regretted it and was currently planning to deal with He Lingchuan under the instigation of Wu Tiju.
We just need to wait and see, and we may be able to get back the money with interest. After all, Yin Hu is indeed a threat to Daofeng Port, and so on.
He sealed the letter with red mud and gave it to Zhao Chenshi to send back.
The latter responded and said carefully: "Sir, when we face Yangshan Islands later...?"
"Keep the troops in place and let Bailie take action first." Wu Tiju said in a deep voice, "Don't obstruct the normal trade between Daofeng Port and Yangshan Islands."
"Ah?" Zhao Chenshi was a little surprised. Was this what Concubine Yu meant in her letter? "Okay."
He had been with Wu Tiju for many years and could understand Wu Tiju's thoughts to some extent.
He Lingchuan's Yin Hu is not a vegetarian. Daofeng Port relies on the sea for its livelihood. If the other party uses Yin Hu to retaliate and attack the waterway, the passenger flow of Daofeng Port will probably plummet.
There is no need. Daofeng Port does not need to fight to the death with the surname He.
Wu Tiju has another thought, which he does not tell anyone:
Losing a tribute ship is a trivial matter for Concubine Yu after all. She is a busy person with a lot of things to do every day, and she will only scold when she feels like it. If Wu Tiju just delays, she will probably forget about it, and the matter will be over.
All mysteries are in the word "delay".
Whether in public or private, this is the only secret method to turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
The Maritime Customs is responsible for protecting the port from disasters. When he wrote to Concubine Yu, the prediction of the coming hurricane was also quickly distributed.
It is not new for the seaside to be baptized by hurricanes. There is already a complete set of mechanisms for defense work. The Maritime Customs posted notices at public places such as docks, vegetable markets, and outside government offices, and then sent special personnel to ring gongs and shout along the streets and alleys to warn merchants and civilians.
The entire port suddenly became busy, and the ships accelerated unloading and then entered the dock to avoid the wind; residential houses, shops, government offices and various public facilities were reinforced, and the most common practice was to nail wooden boards on the doors and windows; fortunately, it is now late autumn, and the trees next to the house have lost all their leaves, otherwise they would have been sawed.
Buildings in low terrain should use sandbags to block the doors to prevent backflow from heavy rain.
Granary safety is the top priority for hurricane prevention and disaster reduction, and special wind and water-proof formations need to be arranged to deal with it.
If in Bejia, especially Lingxu City to resist wind disasters or heavy rains, most of these formations are arranged everywhere, as if they are free to operate.
But in Blade Port, only the most important materials and buildings can enjoy this treatment.
Financial resources are limited.
In fact, experienced merchants and cargo owners purchase talismans and formation tools every year to deal with unexpected events.
The shops selling these items in Blade Port became extremely popular after the Maritime Customs announced the arrival of the hurricane.
The civilians were also very busy. Since the hurricane was coming, everyone had to go home to make some preparations. They had to gather firewood, clean water, food and other supplies, and some had to reinforce doors and windows.
The news of the hurricane's arrival soon spread to the Yangshan Islands.
He Lingchuan immediately called a short meeting to arrange various tasks for hurricane defense.
Although Blade Port predicted that the hurricane would land within 30 hours, the movement of the hurricane was actually very random. Sometimes it would turn a big corner, sometimes it would go in a straight line, and it might land in 13 or 15 hours at the fastest.
He Lingchuan's territory was not small, and the wind-proof measures on the island had to be checked and reinforced, and time was very tight.
Ding Zuodong, Guan Ke, Lei Ni and others all took orders and left, while He Lingchuan said to Qiu Hu and Rong Shanren: "The show is about to begin."
Wang Fubao still asked foolishly: "What show is it?"
Slap, Lv Qiuwei slapped him on the back of the head: "A fight is about to start!"
"Oh?" Wang Fubao touched his head, "Good, good, good."
Such a good time is simply urging his opponents to take action. He Lingchuan sighed secretly, the hurricane actually came at this time to join in the fun, God really likes to play tricks on people, does he think he has too few troubles on hand?
Dong Rui walked over slowly and whispered, "I have bad news for you. Yu Zecheng is in touch with the Bailong people."
He Lingchuan was startled: "Did you find out?"
"Yeah." Dong Rui smiled, "Don't you want to keep an eye on Yu Zecheng? His subordinate, the one with two small mustaches, took a boat back to Blade Harbor this morning. I was on the same boat with him."
Yu Zecheng must have brought more than two people, and there were helpers hiding in the dark, but the team must maintain communication. Moreover, the distance between the Yangshan Islands and the land is too far, beyond the range of ordinary instant communication magic.
