Chapter 62. Recruit relatives
It is estimated that the whole world has betrayed Mao Jue, and Su Yi will not betray him!
Flashing her long eyelashes, this girl snorted angrily as a matter of course: "Of course you don't tell this guy, you dare to murder our master, and the young master is exhausted, he is dead, he deserves it!" ”
"Yuan Chonghuan, the most capable general in the empire?"
This head is shaking a small fist, and Su Yi is just angry, but I didn't expect that there was a Yuan Fan here, or the cold and arrogant attitude of the eldest lady, Adriana held her arms and pointed her chin with appreciation.
"The servant has heard a lot of things about General Yuan in Yangzhou, when most of the Ming generals were defeated and retreated by these northern barbarians, only this General Yuan can correctly understand both sides of the enemy and bring victory to the empire, as if he is the only general who can resist the northern barbarians!"
"He? The only general? It's just a big talker who is good at bragging! If it weren't for the big words to fool the emperor, he would still be squatting and fishing in Guangzhou! ”
I really didn't expect that Adriana, who was above the top, could have such a high evaluation of Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Jue immediately snorted disdainfully.
"That is, what is he Yuan Manzi, can he become a general in the year of his weak crown? It has to be our young master! ”
Far from suppressing the limelight of this foreign girl, the complicity of the master and servant made the annoying mysterious smile on her face even thicker.
"Young Master cares about this General Yuan very much?"
"I care about him?"
Mao Jue immediately skimmed his head with disdain, but what he said was indeed a bit false.
Although Mao Jue is not a fan of Yuan, he also feels that after fighting under the Guangqu Gate just now, Yuan Chonghuan, who was shot like a hedgehog, was betrayed by the Manchu Dynasty and taken down by Emperor Chongzhen, and was even swallowed alive by the people of Jingshi who he desperately defended after being killed, which was really too tragic and wronged.
Yuan Chonghuan's talent may not be as shining as his historical status, but he is indeed a patriot, and it is better for him to die on the battlefield with Jiannu than to die under the butcher's knife of his own people.
Although I don't know what secrets my little master knows, I can swear that I can decide the life and death of a general governor of the imperial court and the red man in front of the emperor, but Adriana saw that Mao Jue didn't want the big enemy of the Mao family in Su Yi's mouth to die, otherwise he wouldn't be entangled, suppressed his curiosity about this secret, and slightly restrained his smile, but the foreign girl suddenly changed the topic.
"Young master, what would you do if your hound didn't recognize its owner and bit you?"
"Slaughter and eat meat!"
didn't understand what this girl meant, Mao Jue didn't think about it, and replied.
"But if this hound has bitten you, but there is no better hound than this, every time a bear and a wild boar attack, this hound bravely goes up to bite and fight, without it you may be scratched and devoured by a wild boar or a bear, do you still slaughter it?"
Mao Jue is coming back, and this girl is also persuading herself in disguise.
What she said is really right, Yuan Chonghuan is on top of Liaodong, and he Mao Jue is just quietly shrinking behind Jiannu's buttocks, after Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong, who is still one of the three heroes of Liaodong, is in charge, and he still fought a strategic failure such as the Battle of Dalinghe, Sun Chengzong is an old man after all.
But Mao Jue has to take care of more than that, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is notoriously dark, sometimes he can play his head off if he says the wrong sentence or writes the wrong poem, even if he wants to remind Yuan Chonghuan, he has to consider what the consequences of writing this letter will be.
"Back to Iron Mountain!"
made up her mind, Mao Jue really didn't drag the mud and water, stretched out his hand and beckoned his soldiers to lead the horse over, and the curious Adriana pulled out a sweet and lovely smile and flattered Mao Jue's side.
"Young Master, do you know what this secret is?"
"Ask God."
Mao Jue, who has been a lot more skilled in riding, took the reins of the horse, neatly turned over on the horse, touched a big nail, and the foreign girl simply rolled her eyes.
In the evening, a few oil lamps swayed in the attic like a firefly dim light, this year is not good, there is no light, Mao Jue is more uncomfortable than when he was a child to write homework on the table lamp, while rubbing his eyes, this goods while holding a pen stick crookedly twisted on the rice paper.
There are no simplified Chinese characters in these years, everyone is learning traditional Chinese characters, the brush is thick, and the eyes are still dizzy when learning and selling, a letter was written for more than an hour, and Mao Jue has not finished writing.
This year, the lighting at night is poor, everyone is sunrise and sunset, plain clothes have slept for half an hour, this time is forced to support the sleepy eyes hazy carrying lamp oil up, one side to a few lamps to add oil, the other side of the kitten like a big yawn.
"Young master, ha~ It's already late at night, and I'm going to go to the construction of the Dugu Barracks Fort tomorrow, go to bed early!"
"Got it!"
No wonder the ancients had many children, anyway, they were all girls in the room, and they didn't have any worries about themselves, and the plain clothes came up directly in their belly pockets, and they were used to seeing this girl wrapped in the same as zongzi, and under the dim lamp, he showed such a bright whiteness, as well as a water snake-like waist, such a visual contrast, Mao Jue couldn't help but be restless.
It's a pity that this body is still in the growth stage, and now if there is too much money, it is estimated that he will have to be like those emperors, hang up early, and have to raise it for a year or two.
But at this time, he didn't have any ordinary heart, and he didn't care about any traditional and simplified Chinese, and hurriedly finished writing the last paragraph with a pen and graffiti, Mao Jue was impatient to put the letter into the envelope, and then threw it under the lamp.
The last bit of lamp oil supported the dim firelight, and a few crooked big characters in the haze actually carried a bit of fairy energy, a bit of the feeling of the beginning of Sword and Fairy, the four big black characters.
Yuan Manzi personally opened!
…………
As the days passed, the wall also rose day by day, and finally in the disappointment of Tian Tao and He Baobao, Yuegu, Jialaofeng Ancient Military Camp and other five guards erected a stone wall more than six meters high, two stories high, which is much stronger than the previous wooden fort wall that was only two meters high and thin, even if the Jiannu soldiers came to sweep and defend the city, he would not be scared.
Anyway, there is enough concrete produced, and Mao Jue also changed the architectural pattern of the Ming Dynasty for several centuries, and the sturdy beams and timbers were driven into the ground to make bones, just like the city wall was built with concrete, just like the later generations built houses in the countryside, and the two-story small building next to the city wall also stood up for three days.
The crops under the mountain grow rapidly, at this time the sweet potato seedlings have spread greenly, and the corn is also standing tall, waving the leaves crisply, experiencing a summer of turmoil, which is close to autumn, and the tun households of Tieshan County are finally living a stable life, running for food and clothing.
The biggest advantage here is that there are many blacksmiths, and they can open their own mines to make iron, so as to supplement the loss of ploughs, shovels, hoes and other daily necessities in this summer.
Especially the soldiers under Mao Jue's command, they are very idle when they follow Shang Kexi, they only conduct military training once in three days, and they are basically idle in normal times, which is good with Mao Jue, not to mention running around, and they are dead one or two hundred, either they are assembled for military training all day long, or they are digging and casting the city more hard than military training, if they are not frightened by Mao Jue's murderous ferocity, these bastards are estimated to have to mutiny.
Now the days can be regarded as bitter and sweet, the five fortresses have built a large two-story barracks for the army, spacious playgrounds, separate kitchens and dining rooms, no longer need to live in tents, no need to fight, and even more goodbye to hard labor, it seems that the idle days that everyone is looking forward to have returned.
But at this juncture, Mao Jue once again made a fuss, making the entire Tieshan Town jump with chickens and dogs again.
At the entrance of the new castle, the old men who hurriedly brushed the house with lime dropped their brushes, and then gathered a bunch of soldiers to watch the excitement, and the soldiers who had finally been idle were not left behind, and they all made do.
On the platform at the corner of the street, Su Fatzi was also wearing a cotton armor, holding an official document angrily, and reading it seriously with his head down.
"Bottom, there is one end counted, listen up, let's start recruiting relatives today, as long as it is a strong man, eighteen to forty will do, if you are selected, one or two silver and one stone of rice a month, and you will never be in arrears!"
"Really? Never in arrears? How many should you choose? ”
One tael of silver and one stone of rice, this is almost the life of a small landlord outside the gate, and immediately a bearded man with a square head shouted loudly below, but Su Changmei's beard shook angrily, and he scolded angrily.
"Fart, can our master lie to you? Say how much you give is how much you give, but don't choose the beard, the general wants a personal soldier, and he can fight hard with the general, you kid didn't wait for the war to run faster than the rabbit, and if you really want to choose the general, you have to be angry. ”
The bearded man with the square head was immediately choked and his face turned red, which caused the people and soldiers who were watching the excitement next to him to laugh, and laughed for a while, and a man with a wooden shovel and a dirty body of muddy water, but an extraordinarily strong tunmin shouted again.
"Master Jun, you just said that as long as you are a strong man, eighteen to forty are fine, and we can also do mud legs?"
"Of course."
Su Changmei focused on his fat head again.
"One end counts as one end, as long as you can pass the selection of our general, you can give our general a hard time, no matter what your background, even if it is not our Hanmin, it doesn't matter, our pro-army has a place for you, if you die desperately for the general, one hundred taels of silver to burn and bury the silver is not ambiguous, and the family will also give ten acres of land, tax-free!"
One tael of silver and one stone of rice, if it is in the south of the Yangtze River, it may not be nothing, but in this war-torn Liaodong, it is enough for a few families to eat, and the wives and children are hot on the kang, which is enough to be worth the blood and hard work of these men.
After reading in Fort Garau, this Su Changmei dragged the official document and went to the Moon Valley with a few personal soldiers, leaving hundreds of men talking about it.
What these people have in common, everyone is tempted!
