Chapter 294: Mubashaf is here
、、、、、、、、、、
Li Xiuning's crisp voice sounded, which made Yu Ming stunned for a moment. He didn't plan to let Li Xiuning go into battle at all this time, after all, the medical women's army had just been established, and they had not been trained at all, how could they go to such a cruel battlefield? Not to mention anything else, just walking so far is beyond the weight of an ordinary weak woman.
"Xiuning, our main forces have gone to the grassland, but Liaodong is a little empty, the armies of generals Zhang Xinyu, Li Jian, and Tian Hao are all on the periphery, and there is a shortage of major generals in the heartland. You will lead the Suzaku Army to stay in Liaodong City, and you must hold on until my army returns, what do you think? Yu Ming said seriously.
After Li Xiuning heard this, she was stunned for a moment, but then reacted that her husband was afraid that something would happen to him and settle him at home. also made up such a high-sounding reason.
She smiled and said, "Husband, if you want to comfort your concubine, you don't need to lie to me like this!" Obviously, he didn't worry about me going to the battlefield, but he deliberately said that he wanted me to stay in Liaodong City. really let the Sui army fight to Liaodong City, and it is estimated that our Liaodong army is almost finished. ”
Yu Ming smiled awkwardly and didn't answer, but there was an expression on his face that you knew.
"Alright! I won't be on the front line this time, so I'll train the Suzaku Army for you. But the next time there is such a chance to fight, you must not leave me in the rear again! Li Xiuning muttered.
"Well, let's talk about going to war later! There are still many opportunities for the medical women's army to appear! Yu Ming sneered, then quickly changed the topic and summarized the battle plan: "Although Yang Guang has been planning for a long time this time, he thinks he is fully prepared. But where would he have thought? The Turkic attack was not like the past, and they left after a plunder. They really want to go south to the Central Plains. From the information we have learned, the troops mobilized by Shibi Khan and the determination to attack this time are also unparalleled......"
Speaking of this, Yu Ming's eyes glanced at the crowd: "Yang Guang has a good plan, and I also have a wall ladder." This time, I will let Yang Guang and Shibi Khan fight to the death, so that the Sui army and the Turks will both be defeated! Let's go back and get ready! ”
The generals agreed, and then walked out of the hall one after another, and began to go their separate ways......
……
After arranging all this, Yu Ming saw that it was still early, so he decided to take the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Xiuning around Liaodong City, so that they could also get familiar with the city.
After entering the commercial street in the city, he saw that the business in the city was much more prosperous than before he left. The stores of well-known merchants such as Yuelai Inn, Jishantang, Huitong Qianzhuang, and He Ji Pawnshop have all come to open branches, and even Tingxiang Pavilion has come to open branches, but I don't know who the person in charge is.
According to the news from the Eastern Capital, after the fall of Yue Zeng Province, Yue Dazhu was also arrested and imprisoned, and the two committed suicide by taking poison in prison because they could not stand the torture. This made Yu Ming a little embarrassed. I feel that in troubled times, human life is really like a mustard. These two were powerful figures in the Eastern Capital half a year ago! Now they fell from the top and became two dead bodies. In response to the old saying: the higher you climb, the worse you fall. If you don't act carefully, you will end up with them.
After shopping on the streets of Liaodong City for a long time, Yuming bought a pair of exquisite earrings for his eldest grandson Wujian and Li Xiuning in a shop selling gold and silver jewelry, and the two daughters were overjoyed. Seeing the dazzling array of businessmen from all over the world, the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Xiuning's interest in shopping soared, so the two daughters took Yuming on the street with great interest, and let Yuming cry bitterly, until he couldn't walk anymore, the two girls gave up and reluctantly agreed to go home.
Yu Ming and his entourage had just walked to the front of their mansion, and when they were about to enter the gate, a person happened to be in a hurry to go out from inside. So I happened to bump into Yuming.
When the man was about to scold, he found that it was Yuming who came back, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Marshal, you are back!" My subordinates have a report to you: a big cannibal has arrived in Liaodong. It's just that he didn't come directly to Liaodong, but ran to Yingkou, where our shipyard is located, he is not familiar with the place, and the coils on his body have been used up, and he almost has no money to eat. Luckily, they met me on the street. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to sell the boat and beg for it. He said he had something important to look for you! I didn't dare to be careless, so I brought him over with a boat! ”
Yu Ming fixed his eyes and saw that this person was Zhou Qiang, the director of the Liaodong Shipyard he had just appointed. He is now gathering a group of craftsmen to build a warship for the Liaodong Naval Division, and he is very busy. Therefore, he was not even informed of this dispatch to the Turks, and he came back to discuss it. And the arrival of Mubashaf this time can actually alarm him to personally bring this big cannibal to Liaodong, which shows that there must be something very important to attract him.
"No wonder I saw an Arab sailing ship on the pier of the Liaohe River earlier, and my feeling is that Mubashaf is coming!" Yu Ming secretly wondered: "It's just that, how can this guy walk so slowly?" After the farewell of the eastern capital, it took more than a month to arrive in Liaodong. That's enough to walk two round-trips! ”
At this time, the anxious Zhou Qiang had already dragged him to the living room in a hurry, and then pretended to be a housekeeper and ran to the guest room to call Namubashaf over.
Sure enough, after a while, Mubashaf, dressed in a white robe and wearing a turban, appeared. As soon as he saw Yu Ming, he immediately pounced, hugged him tightly and said enthusiastically: "Dear Ming! My friend, I've finally found you! ”
Yu Ming was a little crying and laughing after hearing this, and he asked strangely: "You and I left the Eastern Capital at about the same time, why did you only arrive in Liaodong now?" It stands to reason that you should come by sea boat faster than me! ”
"Yes! I also thought that it must be faster than you to take a boat to Liaodong, so I went to Japan first to go shopping. Then we sailed across the Tsushima Strait to Silla County. But I never expected that there would be so many thieves here. Ursa's suitcase was stolen! There's the whole group of our envoys in there! Mubashaf said with a sad face.
"As a result, because we had no money, the snobbish Silla people refused to serve us, and the innkeeper kicked us out! We were forced to sell the Arab galleon. As a result, when we were selling the boat on the dock, we happened to meet Lord Zhou passing by, which rescued us. Mubashaf said helplessly, his expression quite vicissitudes.
The two women, Changsun Wujian and Li Xiuning, couldn't help but laugh when they saw him with such an exaggerated expression on the side. I think this great food messenger is also amused.
Mubashaf was still unconscious and said, "Marshal Yu, now we have finally found you." Do you think we've done what we discussed before? After we form an alliance, we can deal with the Turks together! ”
When Yu Ming heard this, his eyes rolled and he immediately said: "Lord Mubashaf, you know that Ben Shuai has always been true to his words, and since he promised to help you deal with the Turks before, he will definitely do it!" I can promise: within a month, I will send more than 100,000 troops to the steppes and copy the nest of the Turks! ”
Attacking the Turks was his policy long ago, and now it is just a matter of offering flowers to the Buddha.
"Praise be to Allah! Dear Marshal Yu, you are truly my savior! When Mubashaf heard this, he was overjoyed, and he immediately said: "Marshal Yu, since you are so righteous, I, Mubashaf, will naturally return the favor." I will establish long-term trade relations with Liaodong, and at the same time give the marshal ten Arab war horses unique to our country, and sell you a batch of Damascus black steel knives at a flat price, which will definitely be sold at the market price of our country, not sky-high prices! ”
When the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Xiuning heard this, they were all moved. Especially Li Xiuning, there was a golden light in his eyes.
The Arabian horse is now the best fighting horse in the world. Mubashaf's Arab war horses presented to Yang Guang in the past few years were unanimously agreed by the horse officials of the palace that their foot strength and divine horses were not much different from the legendary sweat and blood horses. As for the Damascus black steel knife he presented, it could easily cut through several swords in the palace that were known as divine weapons.
If you establish a long-term trade relationship with Da Shi and can get a large number of Damascus knives at a low price, wouldn't it be able to increase the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army by two grades?
So, Li Xiuning glanced at Yu Minglian, hoping that he would agree immediately.
It's just that Yu Ming pretended not to see it, but said lightly: "Mubashaf, you only gave me ten horses, it's insincere." I want Arabian horses of good breeds, twenty males and twenty females; In addition, I also want the Damascus black steel knife, but I want its refining technology, not just a knife! ”
"This ......" Mubashaf was also a smart man, and naturally knew what Yuming's request meant. He wanted twenty male and female Arabian war horses, so that he could breed his own herd, and he wanted the refining technology of the Damascus black steel knife, which was even more suspicious.
"I can meet your requirements of twenty Arabian horses and females, but I can't teach you the refining techniques of Damascus black steel knives!" Mubashaf thought for a moment before saying.
After Yu Ming heard this, he laughed and said, "Hehe, Lord Mubashaf is not sincere when he says this. You won't, but don't you have anyone in the country who does? When you return to China and hire with a high salary, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a few craftsmen who can refine black steel knives? Just send them to me when the time comes. I covered all the room and board expenses and wages! When they teach me how to be a craftsman, they can go back to China, and I will give them a big reward! ”
Li Xiuning, the eldest grandson Wujian, and Zhou Qiang were all dumbfounded, they didn't expect Yuming's appetite to be so big, and he even wanted to get his hands on other people's smelting techniques.
