"Xiao Jiu Badu, sure enough, it is a good courtier and a good official of my Dayuan!" Xin Du Li Luo handed over the Zhezha Department so happily, and couldn't help but praise it in a big way.

Although his official position is the same as Li Luo's, he is a Mongolian nobleman after all, and he is still a member of the Golden Family, and this identity is not comparable to Li Luo in any way.

The reason why he was polite to Li Luo was that Li Luo had just made great contributions and was also his friend, so he could barely excuse himself.

Li Luo sighed and said: "Xindu Badu, now there are no the most elite Mongolian warriors in our department, just like a down-and-out hunter who has lost his courage and has no courage to face the jackal." Coupled with the fatigue of the soldiers, there is no confidence to win this next tough battle! ”

Xin Du laughed and said: "Little Jiu Badu, now that the Mongolian army has arrived on the island, what are you afraid of!" The next main force, of course, is my Xindu. My 30,000 iron horsemen will make the lowly and cowardly Japanese cry like babies like wolves hunting hares, like the white-haired wind sweeping away dead grass. ”

Xin was very proud, after the return of Zheza's Mongol army, his cavalry reached 30,000, and he would definitely be able to dominate the Japanese country and make several great achievements.

As for Li Luo, hmph, without the Mongolian warriors, he can still make a fart. Next, let this Goryeo kid see how the Mongol army fought.

Li Luo smiled bitterly: "Then this major event of attacking Benzhou and expanding the territory will be counted on Xindu Badu." ”

Xin Du said proudly: "That's nature! Xiao Jiubadu is optimistic about Kyushu Island, manages political affairs, and pinches soft persimmons. ”

Li Luo sneered in his heart, but his face was full of bitterness, with the unwillingness to make new contributions.

Xin Du saw Li Luo's unwilling look, and he was sneering in his heart. What if you're unwilling? This next military feat, but it's not your turn, so you can get out of the way and fight a little battle.

Kublai Khan sent him to Japan, and the military strategy discussed with Li Luo, and the two armies coordinated their actions. But Xin didn't want Li Luo to share the merits of the war again, so he took the lead and completely left Li Luo aside.

But what Xin didn't know was that Li Luo couldn't wait to do it himself.

Xin Du was very meritorious, and after only one day in Xiuning City, he left Kyushu Island and went straight to the Kanto Plains pointed out by Li Luo, looking for a decisive battle with the shogunate army.

As for Li Luo reminding him that the shogunate had stationed heavy troops in the Kanto region, he didn't care. Who are you afraid of my Mongolian army? In his opinion, Li Luo's "reminder" was completely Li Luo's own fear.

Before Xindu's army left, Zhezha came to see Li Luo again.

He saluted Li Luo seriously and said: "General, although Zhezha is no longer under the command of the general, he will never forget the favor of the general, nor will he forget the joy of being under the command of the general. ”

Zheza is sincerely grateful to Li Luo. Although he is a Mongolian, he is only a small root, without Li Luo, he will not be able to mix with thousands of households in his life, and he will not think about thousands of households. How can there be a chance to suddenly rise from 100 households to 10,000 households?

Although Li Luo was not a Mongol, he was a great nobleman of his Zheza. Moreover, Li Luo's ability and character, as well as his loyalty to Dayuan, Zhezha also agrees.

In his opinion, when it comes to the strategic means of fighting and the generosity and consideration of his subordinates, Xin Du is not as good as Li Luo at all.

"You need not thank me, my Jeza. You are a capable warrior, and sooner or later you will come out on top. Do a good job, Ben Shuai is waiting for your good news! Li Luo said very angrily.

"Thank you, General! In my heart, a general is still a general! Zheza said very sincerely.

Li Luo was amused in his heart. When I raise an army against the Yuan, do you still think I'm a general?

When Xindu's army left, Li Luo also had a rare rest for a few days. But it's not that he hasn't done anything, after all, it's a political affair.

First of all, he appointed dozens of Japanese traitors as county-level officials in one fell swoop. Then the counties were ordered to recruit soap subordinates and catch them quickly, and maintain a minimum order.

However, he did not order the formation of the "Imperial Concord Army", because it was to help Meng Yuan. There must be room for the Japanese people to rebel against Meng Yuan.

Li Luo knew very well that his provincial peace was just a transitional official position. The Yuan court would never hand over the lonely Japanese country to him to manage, so why should he be serious about planting trees and digging wells for others?

The Nangui fleet brought back a large number of people, horses, ordnance ships, and ancient artifacts, and he had already made a lot of money. Except for Iwami Ginzan, basically everything that should be obtained is in hand.

Then, Li Luo issued another secret order to collect copper, iron, and sulfur from Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island.

While he was still in this position, he wanted to make a few more handfuls as much as he could.

…………

Cui Xiuning, the regent's wife who stayed in Haidong, finally looked forward to returning to the southbound fleet.

As soon as he got the patrol fleet, Cui Xiuning ordered the thousands of soldiers and horses and 10,000 peasants who stayed in Haidong to gather and go to the beach to meet the Nangui fleet.

The reason why the whole army is on alert is, of course, to prevent the Jiangnan Army from mutiny when it finds out that it will mutiny in Haidong.

At this time, on the Nangui fleet, the generals lied to the Jiangnan army and said that the fleet had deviated from its route and could not reach Jiangnan for the time being. I went to the big island in front of me to rest for two days, and then adjusted the direction and went back.

In this way, there was no doubt that there was his Jiangnan army, so he disembarked and went ashore.

But when I got off the boat, I found a large number of welcoming people, a large red cloth strip, long open, with a strong inscription: Welcome Jiangnan soldiers.

At the same time, festive gongs and drums sounded, as if welcoming the triumphant return of the army.

What's going on?

Why are so many people on this island welcome?

The Jiangnan sergeants who got off the boat were all stunned. Only a few people vaguely guessed something.

When the Jiangnan Army had formed a dense formation under the orders of officers at all levels, a horse-drawn cart was crowded. On the high car is faintly a luxurious woman.

It was not until the high chariot came to the front of the formation, that the nearest soldier saw the woman's appearance clearly.

The woman was about ten years old, and she had a noble bearing and outstanding demeanor. Floating out of the dust, like a fairy concubine, people dare not look at it. It's just that, looking at the woman's waist, she is obviously pregnant.

Where have the soldiers seen such noble and beautiful women? I forgot the doubts in my heart for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the officials of the thousands of households and thousands of households they were familiar with each other stepped forward, bowed down to the women on the high car, and said in unison like thunder: "The last general will meet Madame!" ”

Madam? What's going on? Jiang Nan's soldiers were even more puzzled, but they all stood there quietly.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, listen to Madame." The hundred households of each team gave orders to their subordinates.

Cui Xiuning stood on the high car and came to the front of the formation, looking at the dense military formation half a mile wide, and his heart was also full of surprise.

There are more than 30,000 people here, and the man is really powerful, in the end, he got this thing done.

With so many Jiangnan troops joining, the military strength of the Haidong Tang Kingdom will reach 50,000. With such force, the military foundation for the Tang State to dominate the world has been initially established.

"Soldiers! The land under your feet is called Tang Kingdom! Your general of the Eastern Expedition is the monarch of this Tang Kingdom! He's not Korean! Like you, he is a Han from the Central Plains! ”

"And I, Cui Xiuning, am Mrs. Tang Guo! Your great general is my husband. Your official is a general of the Tang Kingdom! ”

"The Tang Kingdom is the country of the Han people and the country of the Central Plains! It is your country! Here, the Han people, the Jurchens, the Khitans, and the She people will not be oppressed by the Tatars! Here, you are not inferior, you are not a drive, you are not a pawn of the Yuan army! It's not the Great Song Dynasty army of the Yuan Court embankment! ”

"Your great general once promised you to live like a human being! Now, his promise has been fulfilled! As long as you stay in the Tang Kingdom, you can live like a person! ”

"That's why you have a chance to be here! This is your chance, and it is also your reward for fighting the Japanese country......"

Cui Xiuning said so many words loudly in one breath, and his voice immediately became hoarse.

The Jiangnan sergeants were shocked at first, and then they became excited one by one. Is what the General's wife said true? Is this really the Tang Kingdom established by the Han Chinese? Is it the Han people's own country? Is it an overseas paradise that the officials mentioned? Have a good military salary and have your own fertile land? Even as long as you are a soldier, there are coolies to farm for you?

By the way, there is also the Japanese family that the general promised to give them.

They looked at the peerless Mrs. Tang Guo of Gaoche Mountain, the wife of the general, and hesitated for a moment whether to bow down. After all, thousands of households have worshipped.

"Meet Madame!" The hundred households shouted and took the lead in worshipping.

The Jiangnan sergeants did not hesitate anymore, and involuntarily bowed down with their respective hundred household officials.

Tens of thousands of troops suddenly bowed down in turn like waves of wheat in the wind, and shouted: "Meet Madame!" Meet Madame......" The voice was earth-shattering, and the sound shook the sky.

"Soldiers, please get up! Excuse me! Cui Xiuning endured the pain in her throat and said loudly, "Yang Xu! ”

"In!" Yang Xu, a Wanhu who everyone knows in Jiangnan, responded.

"All soldiers are paid winter salaries and winter clothes! Each person will be rewarded with one pound of rice wine, one pound of meat, and two pounds of fish! Let them live in the newly built Jiangnan camp! From today on, they are Tang people, Tang Army! Cui Xiuning ordered.

"No!" Yang Xu took the order.

This time, the Jiangnan sergeant didn't need to give an order from a hundred households, so he couldn't help but take the initiative to shout: "Thank you, Mrs. Mrs. Xie's reward! ”

Cui Xiuning's heart was relieved, she felt that her throat was a little salty, and she was afraid that she would have tire gas, so she stopped talking.

The shouts of the Jiangnan Army became louder and louder, and slowly the sea and the sky echoed "... Mrs. Xie's reward..."

Cui Xiuning watched tens of thousands of people bow down and shout, and couldn't help but burst into tears, and her heart was surging. Even if it is a woman, in the face of this situation, she has to be proud.

This world... Tang must fight!

…………

November 3rd. Clear. Northwest wind. Slightly cold.

I am very happy today, Li Luo is very safe, he said in the letter that he will definitely come back to accompany me for the New Year. He also said that he captured Kyoto and captured more than 3,000 Japanese monarchs and ministers. Hehe, I knew he would do that.

The Nangui fleet came back, and there were more than 120,000 people, in addition to the Haidong army that came back, there were more than 3,000 Japanese craftsmen, more than 40,000 Japanese women, and more than 30,000 Japanese young and strong coolies.

The most important thing is the 35,000 Jiangnan army.

In order to get the hearts of the Jiangnan army to belong to the army as soon as possible, I could only come to the front of the battle, just like the graduation ceremony speech a few years ago, and give a speech.

However, my voice is also hoarse.

Fortunately, the effect is not bad. There have been no bad changes in the Jiangnan Army, and the officers still have a firm grip on military power.

Today is really tiring and happy. Dozens of truckloads of good things were brought down from the ship, especially rare books and even unique books, many of which were passed down from the Central Plains before, which was very important. Secondly, what calligraphy and paintings, antiques, countless.

Finally, there were more than 5,000 Japanese war horses and more than 1,000 Japanese ships.

It's really a good harvest. Finally, this battle was not fought in vain, and after thinking about it for so long, it was not in vain.

With so many people and things, how to arrange them will be discussed in a special court tomorrow.

The belly is getting bigger and bigger, the movement is becoming more and more inconvenient, and the hard work of pregnant women is also truly experienced. When I think of my mother's pregnancy, I think it was as hard as it is now.

She would be happy to know that I was going to be a mother and be happy. Unfortunately, she won't know.

Thinking of Mom...... No, stop! You can't think about your parents anymore, and sad emotions can affect your child.

Let's go out for a walk.

…………

"I've seen the Pavilion Master!" With the greetings of the maids in the Tanghou Mansion, Li Yuan, who was dressed in a white dress, entered Cui Xiuning's inner house.

As the younger sister of the Marquis of Tang and the lord of the Jue Feng Pavilion, Li Yuan is already one of the few nobles in the Tang Kingdom.

In the Tang Kingdom, in addition to Tang Hou, his wife, and Tang Taigong Yan Duo, Li Yuan's identity is the most valuable.

"How's my sister-in-law doing today?" Li Yuan saw Cui Xiuning and asked casually.

Since Cui Xiuning became pregnant, Li Yuan had to come over for a check-up almost every day to ask about the situation.

"It's fine." Cui Xiuning said while writing, "You don't have to come every day, I'm fine." ”

Three foxes, one black, one gray and one white, surrounded her, rubbing her feet from time to time. Cui Xiuning kicked over in annoyance, but he didn't dare to use force.

"Someone!" Li Yuan suddenly shouted.

As soon as the bead curtain opened, two maids came in, "Pavilion master." ”

Li Yuan said: "Bring the black, white and gray to the old foxes, and don't let them come in again." ”

"No." The maid took the black, white and gray out.

Li Yuan took Cui Xiuning's pulse, looked at her tongue, and asked a few more privacy questions, which was relieved.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, everything is safe. It's just that it's better to rest more, and it can't be too brain-wrenching. Also, sister-in-law should not go to the gunpowder station again, it is too dangerous. The smell there is also not good for the fetus. Li Yuan persuaded.

Cui Xiuning said: "Gunpowder is too important, it is related to our Tang Guosheji...... Well, you're a doctor, I'll listen to you, and I'll not go to the powder shop. But I should be able to go to the guns, right? ”

Li Yuan nodded, "Sister-in-law got those guns, but they are small iron pipes and big copper pipes, but you can go." ”

In the past six months, Cui Xiuning not only made a sample of modern granular black powder, but also restored a fire gun according to his previous memory.

The firearm in her memory is actually a firearm made by modern violent gangs, that is, earthen cannons.

In modern times, because of the extremely strict control of arms and firearms, many civil violent gangs have made and traded earthen guns and artillery. For a while, these firearms were very widespread in society, causing a lot of danger.

In order to identify the lethality of these firearms and use them as a basis for sentencing, the Higher Criminal Police College has set up special courses so that the criminal police can understand these weapons and know how to test the power of different firearms, and the greater the power, the heavier the crime of the person involved. If it is not powerful or has little power, it may not be included in the criminal case.

Cui Xiuning once took out a workshop that made earthen guns and cannons, and confiscated a lot of finished products. After taking it back for testing, the power is considerable, and it belongs to modern firearms, which is not less powerful than the British army musket during the Opium War.

Cui Xiuning's restored firecrackers are similar to these muskets. But unfortunately, the craftsmen of the flintlock device have not been successful in the experiment, and it has been a month, and the core spring has not yet been completed.

However, the entire sample of the firebolt, which had already been made according to her drawings, was only the barrel completely drilled.

What is missing now is a flintlock device.

The difficulty of the artillery is not as complex in design as that of the gun. But it's much more difficult to manufacture. The difficulty lies in the barrel of the gun, and the current iron-making technology is definitely not good, and only copper can be used.

Therefore, Cui Xiuning only designed a small earthen cannon, with a caliber of only one and a half inches, which could only shoot iron pellets the size of eggs. But even if it is this kind of thing, the current iron-making technology is not competent, and it is still necessary to use copper to reduce the danger of explosion.

In order to make firearms, Cui Xiuning specially added a firearms station and a gun station in the craftsman's office.

She wanted to wait for Li Luo to come back and make a complete sample to surprise the man.

However, with her knowledge of firearms and the technical conditions of this era, it was impossible for her to come up with more advanced firearms. But there is no doubt that it must be much more powerful than the primitive artillery of the Yuan army.

The guns and guns equipped by the Yuan army not only had little gunpowder power, but also had poor quality of the launch tubes, and were also easy to explode. Not to mention the short range, the safety and reliability are also very unreliable.

The sister-in-law chatted for a while, Li Yuan went to the hospital, and Cui Xiuning sorted out the rules and prepared for the court discussion.

Due to the absence of the Tang Hou, the current court meetings of the Tang Kingdom are not held regularly, but only when there is something.

"Dong-" As soon as the bell of the Tanghou Mansion rang, all the officials at the level heard the sound and entered the court, standing in an orderly manner.

The guards of the Tanghou Mansion also guarded inside and outside the court.

Cui Xiuning, who had a high bun, sat on the throne a little clumsily, and looked at the hall with blazing eyes.

Shangqing Lin Biju led the officials, bowed down and said: "The ministers meet the lady, ten thousand blessings and Jin'an!" ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Everyone, please be polite, sit down." ”

"Mrs. Xie!"

Waiting for the officials to stand up and sit down, Lin Biju said: "Mrs. Yu, now that the people, property, horses, and ships of the southbound fleet have all drawn up arrangements, please make a decision." After that, he presented a booklet.

Cui Xiuning read it carefully, then closed the booklet and said, "Shangqing arranged it like this, but what did you say?" You can tell Zhu Qing about it. "It's been two years since I came to ancient times, and Cui Xiuning at this time has completely humanized the language style of people other than Li Luo.

ps: Don't worry, when it comes to firearms, we won't be making a big deal about the tech tree. The protagonist will only have modern firearms, and will not be too advanced. The book will still maintain a relatively pure ancient style and will not destroy the sense of history. Crab crab support!!
