Chapter 370: The Battle of Yiligan
Lu Junyi looked at it inexplicably, why did he cry so well, did he have to be a slave? What kind of routine is this? I don't understand!
What made Lu Junyi even more incomprehensible was that many people in the Yili tribe also cried, and they were crying loudly, grabbing the ground with their heads, and those who didn't know thought that Lu Junyi had done something to them.
"Yili Ganhao, why are you crying?" Lu Junyi asked.
"Righteous warriors, I weep over my ignorance, and if I had known that this was the case, why should we be enemies of you? We have lost so many warriors and so many more children who have lost their fathers and brothers, how shall I deal with them? Yiligan said in Khitan language, "I am no longer qualified to be the leader of the Yili dry tribe, I just want to die." ”
Lu Junyi looked at the soldiers on both sides who fell to the ground around him, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "The dead are gone, we should seek for the living..."
After Lu Junyi received a letter from Jiang Defeng as the division commander, he carefully selected from the people who were willing to join the army on the dry leaf island, and obtained a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, including 3,000 cavalry, plus the original Liangshan soldiers and horses, a total of 14,000 soldiers and horses, Lu Junyi took Dong Ping to strictly train these soldiers and horses, and in less than two months, the original Liangshan army and the local indigenous army slowly merged to form a new army of dead leaves.
In terms of people's livelihood, Lu Junyi led everyone to cultivate and graze, taught the Song people techniques to the local natives, and distributed a large number of materials left to him by Jiang De before, and selected a site to build a city on Withered Leaf Island, with a total of four cities: Bandong City, Gaidi City, Bonai City, and Nanwang City.
But in the face of such a good situation, the worry on Lu Junyi's face is getting stronger and stronger, not for anything else, but because the agreed large fleet has not come yet, and the news from the fleet before is that Liangshan is besieged by the imperial army, and the sea fleet is therefore unable to buy or recruit a large number of personnel and materials to Dry Leaf Island.
Lu Junyi didn't tell anyone what he was worried about, but looked calm, after all, if he panicked, the people below would be even more flustered, and he could only silently pray that his junior brother could survive this catastrophe.
- Liang Shan
"Yunzhou Jiedu envoy? Owner, do we really want to recruit An? Chao Gai looked at the holy decree placed on the table, his brows were tightly locked, Jiang De was not in Liangshan on weekdays, the real Liangshan housekeeper was Chao Gai, therefore, Chao Gai also regarded Liangshan as his home, and now if he wants to talk about Zhao'an, the last thing he wants is Chao Gai.
"Don't worry, the master of Chaozhai, this trick is just an expedient measure, and I don't have to separate, and I don't have to leave, because of the anger of those bird officials, the court will not continue to attack us, it is a hundred benefits and no harm."
Xiao Rang was originally coaxed and deceived by Wu Yonglian to bring Liangshan, but now he can recruit An to wash his name, but he has no objection in his heart.
"What expedient measure, when this news gets out, what will the rivers and lakes say about us? What would the brothers think? When the people's hearts are scattered, our Liangshan will be finished! Chao Gai shook his head and said, he looked at Jiang De, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, and said, "The owner of the village, you can't recruit An!" ”
Jiang De put down the teacup and said to Chao Gai, "In the future, the focus of our Liangshan's development will not be in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Owner, what does this mean? My brother doesn't quite understand. Qin Ming looked at Jiang De suspiciously and asked.
"It's simple." Xu Guanzhong said: "Brothers, I have tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liangshan today, if you add the people who support us, I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands, if we continue to develop like this, I am afraid that in two or three years, we will only have one way to cut the land and become the king, even if we don't want to do this, it is difficult to ensure that someone wants to add to the yellow robe of the owner of the village." ”
"Then cut the land and become king! If there are officers and soldiers who come to fight, we will wait for the battle, and it is not that we have not fought! Pang Wanchun shouted loudly, and the leaders around him nodded yes, and Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but bow their heads, a little ashamed.
"It's easy to fight, but why are the people innocent?" Xu Guanzhong shouted: "Have you forgotten the big flag I was waiting for? ”
Everyone was silent.
Gongsun Sheng sighed, "Xing, the people are bitter!" Death, the people suffer! If we gather righteousness in Liangshan in order to reduce the suffering of the people, if we cause the people to fall into the flames of war, then where is our righteousness? ”
"But as long as those dog officials are here, won't the people suffer?" Hua Carving asked.
Jiang De looked at the people below and knew that he had to unify his thoughts at this time, otherwise the tens of thousands of horses in Liangshan would easily fall apart.
He stood up and looked at the crowd, and they all looked at him together.
"Brothers! I know that many people can't accept Zhao'an in their hearts, but I still say that Zhao'an, it's just an expedient measure! Jiang De continued as he walked down, "The imperial court will not tolerate our Liangshan to continue to be strong, either continue to fight, or Zhao'an, fight, we are naturally not afraid, but in the north of our Han people, there is still a fierce tiger, and there is a vicious wolf in the northwest, if we are inseparable from the imperial court, let these two beasts go down the mountain, can we have the face to go to see our hometown fathers?" ”
Liao and Western Xia are national enemies, this is recognized by everyone, so Jiang De said this, and everyone was speechless.
"But we can't stop in Liangshan, I said before, the world is big, there is a lot to be done, Master Lu has already laid down most of the Dead Leaf Island, and in addition to the Dead Leaf Island, there is also Goryeo, and Japan, and a large number of borderless lands, these places are our next goals!
Our goal is to find land for our plough with our sword! ”
Everyone's eyes slowly lit up, Jiang De picked up the holy decree placed on the table and said, "I will tell the imperial court that we will be disarmed after we are recruited, but what I want to tell you is that our Liangshan will not only not be disarmed, but will continue to recruit troops!"
On Jeju Island in Goryeo, Wu Yongjun has prepared money and food for us to go to the war, and countless silver mines are buried under the land of the Japanese archipelago, which are our future goals.
Pass my orders! ”
"Wow!" Everyone stood up and bowed their hands to Jiang De.
"Ordered the three armies, I Liangshan will accept the imperial court from today, but we are recruiting peace, not surrendering, but for the consideration of the people of the world, temporarily extinguishing the fire, our Liangshan heroes, one does not go to the court to see the driver, the second only listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, the third comes to life and death and self-dictation, if there is a brother who is dissatisfied and wants to leave, we will send money and food, if we wish to leave life and death, we will continue to be brothers!"
"Owner of the village, if this news spreads, I'm afraid that the court will have a repetition." Zhu Wu came out to express his doubts.
Jiang Dexu pressed his hand and said, "If the imperial court rises up again, are we still afraid of him?" ”
But in fact, Jiang De knew that it was impossible for Zhao Ji to send a large army to conquer Liangshan, not for anything else, but before Jiang De left Bianliang, Zhao Ji and Cai Jing had already determined the renderings of Genyue with a new style of sand table, and the next Zhao Ji, I am afraid that in a few years, he will put his mind on this century project, as long as Liangshan does not attack the city, Cai Jing and others will definitely cover up this matter, otherwise how can it be said that it is Fengheng Yuda?
Jiang De asked everyone to step back, leaving the core personnel of the cottage behind, and began to explain the next things.
"Division Commander Lu has been fighting on Dry Leaf Island for almost half a year, and now there is an extreme shortage of materials and personnel, and next, our focus is on recruiting manpower and materials." Jiang De looked at Gongsun Sheng.
Gongsun Sheng replied, "Zhai master, now that there are displaced people in Hebei and Shandong, it is not difficult to recruit, but in terms of materials, it is necessary to meet the needs of tens of millions of overseas expeditions." ”
This so-called tens of millions is not a text, but a run, Jiang De rubbed his brows and said, "I'll find a way to deal with the money, we are seeking a country, and it is a country for all eternity, even tens of millions are worth it." ”
That being said, but Jiang De's profits from several businesses have gradually reached the limit, there is no way, Da Song is so big, it is not easy to take out the money to support Liang Shan and Lu Junyi's overseas campaign.
If we want to increase our investment, we must find new ways to make money.
Jiang De walked around his house, where to find this new way of wealth.
If you want to talk about big profits, it's not without ideas, the wool in the north, the cotton that is slowly expanding are all big profits, but the real profit of wool will only be Northern Liao and the future Jin Kingdom, and cotton will take time to grow, to put it mildly, now Jiang De has a withered leaf island, and you can also make sea salt, but it doesn't matter if a small amount of salt enters the Great Song Dynasty, a large amount of salt enters the Great Song Dynasty, and you have to provoke those powerful people to go crazy.
"Owner, this is today's lunch." Li Zhong walked in with a few guards with lunch boxes, and then put them on the table one by one, Jiang De took a look, it's not bad, it's Dongpo meat, to put it mildly, Su Dongpo's biggest impact on future generations is probably not those articles, but this Dongpo meat.
Dongpo meat, that is, braised pork, don't underestimate this braised pork, he spread the pork meal thoroughly, making the status of pork in the Chinese national recipe rapidly improved, and also made the people have a way to make money.
You don't see, in the countryside in the eighties and nineties in the later generations, as long as there are conditions, a few pigs will be raised to sell for money or killed for the New Year, and there are even dishes such as pig-killing dishes.
Jiang De picked up a piece of pork with chopsticks, looked at the fat and thin pork belly, and couldn't help nodding, this meat has never eaten clenbuterol at a glance, but later generations are also fine, and when they see that they are all lean meat, they don't want to, so they pick those pork with a bunch of fat meat to buy, God knows if there will be fat meat in the future.
Well? Fat?
Jiang De was stunned for a moment, he raised his head and asked, "Li Zhong, you have been rolling in the folk for many years, let me ask you, are there many pigs now?" ”
Li Zhong thought for a while and said, "If you want to say more, there are more, but it is not as good as raising sheep, after all, there are fewer people who eat pork, and the price is low." ”
Jiang De nodded, closed his eyes and entered the system.
To say that Jiang De's points now, this closed his eyes and suddenly frightened Jiang De, why did this point suddenly increase so much?
I saw the points column, there were three or four million more points, not only made up for the previous losses, but also increased greatly, before Jiang De went to Withered Leaf Island, there were eight or nine million points, but it took a lot of money to change a lot of materials and return to the Great Song Dynasty, so that the points dropped to less than seven million, but now it has become almost eleven million points, where did these points come from?
Jiang De flipped through the list of points increase, and suddenly found that there was an entry of more than two million points at a time, and then there was a continuous entry of fifty points, just thinking about it, he understood that this must be Lu Junyi who won the entire territory of Withered Leaf Island, Jiang De couldn't help but clench his fists, his senior brother is so powerful, so he can't drag his feet.
Jiang De clicked on the system to enter the technical interface, he quickly found the technology he needed, looked at the price, 150,000 points, but then found that this technology actually has related technologies, and after clicking all the clicks, he still spent nearly one million points, and suddenly turned his points into nine million and two million.
It's okay, it's okay, the money spent will come back, Jiang De gritted his teeth and said.
When Jiang De opened his eyes, he just saw Li Zhong looking down at him, probably thinking about how he, the lord, closed his eyes while eating.
Jiang De smiled at Li Zhong and said, "Li Zhong, you go and help me get ten catties of lard first, then bring a few boxes of rouge gouache, and then take two zhang of cotton cloth, a pound of quicklime, a bag of brine blocks and a bag of alkali, and a pot of charcoal, and then find some fine sand and pebbles." It is best to have a pot of stones from large to small. In addition, let Gongsun Daochang come to visit. ”
Li Zhong didn't ask why, so he went out to get it, Liangshan already had a lot of family members living there, and there was no shortage of rouge gouache, and when he came back with his things, Gongsun Sheng had already talked to Jiang De in the house, and he still had a piece of paper in his hand, and he didn't know what was written in it.
Jiang De saw Li Zhong coming back and said, "Mr. Gongsun, you quickly let people build utensils according to the drawings I drew and come to me." ”
Gongsun Sheng retreated and explained, and then came back, Jiang De asked Li Zhong to wash the basin with fine sand, small pebbles, large pebbles, and charcoal with water, and then asked Li Zhong to take a pot to melt the lard, and then took an iron basin and poured water into it, and poured all the quicklime into it. Then pour the edible alkali, the main ingredient of the edible alkali is sodium bicarbonate, and after reacting with the lime solution, that is, the calcium hydroxide solution, the calcium carbonate precipitate and the upper layer of the clear solution are formed.
And this clear liquid is commonly known as caustic soda sodium hydroxide, which is extremely corrosive.
Jiang De explained to Gongsun Sheng while operating, after all, it is impossible for him to keep an eye on this as a technical consultant in the future.
Once caustic soda comes into contact with the skin, it will decompose the fat in the skin, and the fire is more harmful than sulfuric acid. Therefore, Jiang De used porcelain to skim it out.
Then, Jiang De poured the skimmed caustic soda into the hot oil pan and stirred it thoroughly, and then waited patiently.
Waiting here, not idle over there, Jiang De asked Gongsun Sheng to start, and began to grind the brine block and stir it with water, which became brine, and Jiang De wanted nothing else, but a natural chemical agent in the brine-hydrochloric acid.
At this time, the lard had begun to solidify gradually, Jiang De looked at the condensation and nodded slightly, this condensation was the most commonly used soap in later families.
In fact, it's no wonder that Jiang De only uses his soap brain now, who told him that he has points that can be directly exchanged for various daily necessities in the future, so that he doesn't lack this at all, and naturally he has no motivation to study.
