Chapter 21. Catty

"What do you think is wrong?"

The Baihu surnamed Shen also showed a gloomy face, followed by a fist and asked, but his eyes were aimed at these uneven officers, but Mao Jue slapped the table in annoyance.

"Six hundred households patrolling the sea, what about the remaining four? Anything else that didn't come? So you don't take Ben in your eyes? ”

These words shouted out, the hundred households in the house, the general flags all showed a stunned look, embarrassed for a while, the oldest old man leaning against the wall actually laughed out loud, Shen, Li, Zhang The three hundred households also twitched a few times, and after a while, the Li Baihu at the front stiffened his face and looked serious, and he hugged his fists and saluted.

"My lord misunderstood, our thirteenth thousandth household, there are six hundred households, plus this compound, there are about six hundred and twenty soldiers under its jurisdiction, and our thousand households have all arrived!"

Really, in the first 20 years of life, what I encountered was a short catty and less than two, and a bag of biscuits was full of biscuits, but now there is a transparent window of the heart left. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he gave Mao Jue a shrunk again, originally thought that he had more than 1,000 people under his command to command, how could he be a major regiment commander, but he suddenly shrank to the battalion commander, lost a person, Mao Jue sat down a little stupidly, and immediately waved his face impatiently.

"The patrol is in accordance with the old practice!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Baihu, Shen Baihu and Zhang Baihu with a big mole on his face obviously showed a sense of pride, and the huge sea behind him, as well as Pang Baihu, who looked a little like him, but was a lot older, could obviously see a sense of disappointment, as for the old Zhao Tou and the other Baihu, they looked completely indifferent, and lazily hugged their fists.

"Subordinates obey!"

But before these guys regained their lazy temperament, they went back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and knocked on the table, Mao Jue suddenly added another one.

This is Shen Baihu inspecting the Iron Mountain to the east, right? ”

"Oh? Go back to the Thousand Households, that's exactly the case! ”

It seems that there are more Qianhu on the top of his head, his face is long, Shen Baihu lowered his head and hugged his fist, but Mao Jue's next sentence made the muscles at the corner of his mouth twitch.

"That's just right, Ben will be a new member of the barracks, and he is not very familiar with all kinds of things, so I will follow Shen Baihu today and go to the sea to see for a long time!"

"That adult, the sea is rough and rough, you are still ......"

"What? Shen Baihu is unwilling? ”

Mao Jue's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and he stammered, and the guy once again clenched his fists and bowed his head: "The last general doesn't dare, since that's the case, just follow the adult!" ”

…………

Dongjiang Town's biggest reliance is the sea, every year from North Korea and Shandong to send silver, grain to support this Ming Dynasty rare naval base, for the sea, Dongjiang Town's defense can not be said to be not strict, such as Mao Jue they patrol the sea a thousand households have a total of five, more than 3,000 horses, more than 50 warships, the Phi Island around all the way to Jinzhou Lushun are divided.

And Mao Jue, the thirteenth thousandth household, is very special in that his defense area is the closest to Phi Island, and Mao Youde really takes care of him, which can be regarded as the easiest fat shortage.

Shen Baihu's ship is much stronger than the broken sentry ship in the huge sea, almost 1,500 materials, three masts, more than 40 meters, and there are two sentry ships next to it, a total of eighty-six Ming soldiers and sailors, it takes several days to go out to patrol the sea, and on the dock, there are a lot of van soldiers carrying large buckets of fresh water and military rations to the ship.

During the internship period of more than half a year, the landscape ships that have been built are 100 meters long, which actually does not shock Mao Jue, but the first time he saw a battleship that really fought on the sea, he felt that everywhere was fresh, and he couldn't help but touch it, look there, and the full hillbilly entered the city.

However, this Shen Baihu didn't have the heart to laugh at him, several soldiers piled up at the other end of the dock, surrounding this large pile of boxes covered with tarpaulin, and while Mao Jue was standing on the bow of the boat and watching, a pro-soldier had a headache and hugged his fist beside Shen Baihu.

"Master, it's very urgent to urge the goods, this batch, we really don't bring it?"

"Bring a sesame seed!"

Looking back, Mao Jue was still looking at the sea and didn't know what to mutter, this Shen Baihu also hated the root of his teeth, and lowered his voice depressedly.

"I'm afraid this lord is coming for Lao Tzu, otherwise Zhang Ben and Li Kun won't go anywhere, and he will take Lao Tzu's boat as soon as he comes up?"

The voice was even lowered, and Shen Baihu's eyes became more gloomy, and he glanced at Mao Jue again, and then snorted angrily.

"Our Qianhu has a lot of background, otherwise General Mao would not be able to be so stubborn and invite him to drink, but I heard that he and Shen Shikui and Shen General Soldier did not deal with each other."

"Master, let's have nothing to do with Mr. Shen!"

No wonder the pro-soldiers were wronged, if they really had such a little kinship with Shen Shikui, they would not be a small 100-hundred-family and pro-soldiers, the Shen family was more than 20, and the lowest was also Qianzong.

"Okay, it's hard to say what the hell is going on." grinning crookedly, Shen Baihu immediately tilted his head at his own soldiers.

"Hide your things, tell the brothers below to keep their mouths tight, and don't make this Lord a big deal! Let's get past what is in front of you first! ”

"Don't worry, the brothers have a number in their hearts!"

While answering, the pro-soldier was still looking at it, close to the dock, Li Baihu's ship was still loading, and the closed and tight large boxes were carried onto the ship, and the No. 2 fortune ship of 1,500 materials seemed to have sunk a little into the water.

"Sail !!"

With a rather strange shout, in the midst of this jealous voice, three Chinese hard sails supported by struts were hoisted high in the shouts of several strong men, and by the sea breeze blowing in the morning, the three patrol ships roared into the sea.

In fact, this sea area is really not too far, Phi Island is located in the sea off the mouth of the Yalu River, almost an hour, the patrol ship arrived near Tieshan City, another important stronghold on the Korean Peninsula, the ship first docked in the offshore waters, a small boat was sent down, and Shen Baihu also personally ran to Mao Jue to ask for instructions.

"Master Qian, let's stop the boat, report to the Iron Mountain Guard, Meng Shoubei, and leave in about half an hour!"

"What do those people do?"

With glass, it is much easier to get a telescope, holding a self-made telescope in the glass workshop, Mao Jue looked at the shore, the boat that had just landed, a few soldiers had just come ashore, and they were surrounded by twenty or thirty people wearing big broken leather jackets, pulling carts, and carrying boxes, but it seemed that the conversation was not very appropriate, a group of people almost didn't move, and finally a few soldiers touched the knife before breaking through.

"People?"

Obviously, his heart was weak, and after looking at it twice, Shen Baihu barely managed to make a smile, and shook his head with a dry smile.

"It's just a group of Diao people, seeing my Ming warship, come forward to beg and entangle, Master Qian doesn't have to pay attention to it!"

Begging entangled? Mao Jue is not stupid, where is there anyone who pulls things over to beg and entangle? However, there is a sentence called rare confusion, now he has just come into contact with the thirteen thousand households, and he is still very unfamiliar with its interior, he is a lonely person who has parachuted in, since this Shen Shou intends to cover it up, he will not go to the bottom of it, and nodded vaguely.

"Oh, Ben knows."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, watching Mao Jue staggering back to his recliner on the stern armor, Shen Baihu always seemed to feel that he had something to say.

After being stranded on Iron Mountain for a while, the patrolling fleet headed east again, passing by Yuncong Island, the largest island next to the Phi Dao military town.

It's not small, almost more than 50 square kilometers, about twice as big as Phi Dao, because it is located in the rear of Phi Dao, it is relatively safe, many Liaodong fugitives and military families of Dongjiang Town are placed on it, and there is also a scale of tens of thousands of people, but compared to the military town port of Phi Dao, it is mainly composed of six or seven Tuweizi village strongholds, on the island, looking through the binoculars, a piece of neatly planned farmland is full of big dog's tail grass-like plants.

The four bodies are not diligent and the grains are not distinguished, Mao Jue lost the second person again, and after asking someone to inquire, he found out that this thing is millet, that is, millet seeds.

In later generations, the rice in the Northeast is famous all over the country, but in these years, the cultivated area is really small, even to the extent of severing the status, the main rations are still millet, sticky yellow rice, wheat and the like, the yield of this thing per mu is two or three hundred kilograms, two-fifths of the arable land on the island, and the grain produced is only enough for three months' rations in Dongjiang Town, not counting the transportation consumption and decay, and the remaining large part needs to be collected from North Korea and transported from Shandong.

The patrol boat did not stop at Yuncong Island, but only bypassed it, but while passing by this area, Mao Jue kept staring at this place endlessly.

It is said that if it is not in its position, it is not in its place, if it is in the past, no matter how rare the grain, it is estimated that it will be forgotten when you look at it twice to satisfy the freshness, but now, Mao Jue is really worried, the food can not be self-sufficient, once there is another war, Houjin invaded North Korea and cut off the supply of rice, so there is no need to fight, there will be famine in Dongjiang Town.

"Now I can only hope that Qian Zeng, a kidney-deficient son, can really get corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes back to Lao Tzu!"

As the sun set, Yuncong Island gradually disappeared from view, but Mao Jue couldn't help but remember it in his heart again.

The day was calm, but at this night, Mao Jue saw the capriciousness of the sea, about seven o'clock in the evening, suddenly the waves on the sea were high, with the wind, the waves wave after wave, as if the three boats were toys that fell into the bathtub, were thrown up and down.

Fortunately, this is also a Chinese hard sail, directly untie the rope, the sail will fall, if it is like the soft sail of those Western galleons, it is rolled and retracted, and it is not sure how long it will take, but it is like this, Mao Jue is also tossed enough, and wears it in the room on the upper deck, just like the drunken house he went to the beer museum to experience, shaking, so that he almost didn't vomit out the bitter gall.

It's not a storm, it's just a storm.

The wind and waves lasted until the second half of the night, Mao Jue barely fell asleep, half the night was dazed as if he was not asleep, until ninety o'clock the next morning, he struggled to get up, but just yawned to the deck, Mao Jue's eyes suddenly straightened again.

Just yesterday where he had placed his chaise longue, the sailors hung a string of golden, shiny treasures......
