It's really a bit like poverty alleviation, the Dongjiang Army's torn military uniforms in this battle, dirty and broken field quilts, some messy things have been collected, and 10,000 stones of grain have been swept out from the bottom of the storehouse.

Although they were all in tatters and there was not much food, it was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow to the hungry and cold, especially the cold Lee Korean army.

In the cold winter in the north, even the hardy Japanese have to hurry to the fire to roast, Jeju Island here is not like the Japanese country, the area is small, the firewood is limited, the food is okay to say, the people are robbed in the wilderness, and they can't starve to death to deal with it, but it is not so easy to get warm.

"The grace of Dongjiang Mao, we will remember it in our hearts, and there will be a retribution!"

The ragged North Korean carrying back the same tattered winter clothes, and the other head of Park Ah Da knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude.

Everyone will say cheap words, let alone the leader among them, Song Xianzhi, who was angry and wanted to damage these guys who made trouble for his own generals, but looking at this scene, his funny head suddenly showed a smile, and he waved his hand amiably there.

"A little bit of heart is not respectful, my general originally wanted to supply your army with some new ones, but Lord Li and Jin Julang ......, my family is also very embarrassed, you know!"

"The last will understand! Lord Song doesn't need to say much! It's only strange that the last general is blessed, and he didn't give birth to General Mao!"

Saying that this Li family's North Korea affairs are lacking in virtue enough, Song Xiance only said an ominous word, so that a group of low-class soldiers who were originally happy to return to the country, but were immediately involved in the political struggle, and a large number of various conspiracies and transactions and Mao Jue's various helpless compromise scenes immediately appeared in their minds.

The icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, such a little tattered thing will move these untouchables from the Lee family's Korean regular army, and at the same time, they also hate the mother country for which they have gathered themselves and fought for them, and more than a dozen military leaders are grateful and have answered.

Don't look at the so-called Oriental Hawaii, the winter of Jeju Island, compared to the Japanese country, it is only cold and not warm, even if it is frost-resistant like those Japanese people, they are also shivering desperately around the fire pond in the house, and the snow is half a foot thick, and the standing army of the Li Dynasty who carried those relief supplies back is also a big footprint step by step, and gradually disappeared into the snowstorm, but looking at the footprints of the black hole, Song Xiance, who originally complained about these chaotic troops, stared at those footprints for a long time.

For a long time, until the accompanying sergeants were so cold that they rubbed their hands, Song Xiance raised his funny head, spit out a puff of white smoke, and shook his head loudly.

"The monarch and the scholar are waiting for it, the soldier is smeared with liver and brain, such as Yu let the paint swallow the carbon fire, the gentleman is enslaved and waits for it, and the gentleman is contemptuous and leaves, such as Wei Gong is a good crane and a light person, counting, the poor road is really lucky!"

"What more do you say?"

Confused when he heard this, the soldiers around him asked in amazement, who knew that Song's head suddenly turned pale, and he hummed with a straight face.

"The official said that he should work well for the general! Are you dissatisfied? ”

"Ahh The little ones don't dare, how dare the little ones not work hard for the general? ”

Seeing that the chief of the guard beside him was trembling in fear, this Song dwarf showed a smile like the success of the conspiracy, and waved it with a feather fan in his hand in the cold weather.

"That's it, lead the horse, let's go back to the camp!"

"Yes!"

Relieved, the guards hurriedly pulled the war horse from the snow road, stepped on the palm of a guard before going up, and looked back at the direction where the Chang army disappeared, Song Xiance suddenly sighed again.

"Trouble is about to arise in the Li Dynasty! I hope this time it won't involve the Dongjiang River!"

…………

Song Xiance began to think about it in the long term, but Mao Jue was still looking forward to the near future, and the more than 30,000 troops of the Li family's North Korean Standing Army were not taken to heart by him at all, and it was still Xihai Fort, but he stared at his fleet and frowned even more.

After the last meeting, Adriana was "sick" again, and she didn't even board the Black Pearl, so she shrank on the Storm and closed her door, although Mao Jue is not extremely smart, and sometimes he has rough lines, but he is by no means a fool, he can be said to have not paid attention before, but now if he doesn't find out, he can really hit his head against the wall.

Adriana is scruples, fears, fears the Dutch! And the source of scruples and fear, if unsurprising, is related to her life experience.

Not all foreign monks will chant scriptures, Adriana is a strange woman, she is not only meticulous, proficient in mathematics, history, etiquette, dance and other Western lady traditional knowledge, for military formation, politics, strategy, firearms actually have a lot of research, this is not an ordinary family can cultivate, even if it is a noble family, it is also a flock, such a baby bump, actually exiled to the East as a slave, which itself is unreasonable.

Mao Jue didn't ask before, on the one hand, he and Adriana were using each other at that time, and he couldn't control it, on the other hand, he also hoped that the time was ripe to let this chick say it herself, but now, Yang Niu has become the person next to her pillow plus the chief staff officer, and now it is also an extremely important morale, which can show that the battle of the Qing Dynasty, the winner and loser are completely in the past few years, Mao Jue really doesn't want anything to happen to the core members around him.

But how do you talk to this foreign girl?

Don't look at Adriana as the most independent and assertive among several women, but she also inherits the rationality and suspicion of Western women, if you want to arrange a role for her, Mao Jue can only think of Miladyi in "The Three Musketeers", the bad woman who manipulates the kingdom behind her back, a bad mouth, but it is easy to alienate her.

What a brain-draining problem!

The door behind him creaked open, and the smell of tea was rich, but it was Su Yi who came in with tea, and he saw Mao Jue looking at the fleet below with his hands behind his back and was silent, the teacup was placed on the table, hesitated, and Su Yi asked cautiously.

"Young master, otherwise, Su Yi will go talk to Sister Hong!"

Mao Jue was really a little excited, but when he turned his head to look at Su Yi's big watery eyes, he suddenly waved his hand again.

"Forget it!"

Turning around to see a few crooked Dutchmen holding barrels and marmots back into the boat, a look of challenge suddenly came out of his eyes.

"Ben will have conquered her for the first time! You can conquer her a second time! I'll figure this out myself!"

…………

Mao Jue has been smooth for more than half a year, and now it is really time for him to be unsmooth, Li North Korea has such an attitude, such an unstable army is placed on Jeju Island for one day, his plan to develop Jeju Island has to be delayed for a day, and the construction is difficult to destroy, but it is easy to destroy, but these poor and crazy Li North Korean standing army mutinied and robbed once, and lost their reputation, and it will be difficult to gather businessmen from Southeast Asia at this end of the Dongjiang River next time, so Mao Jue has no choice but to use this place as a short-term status transit station, risking high risks, Once again, all the people gathered in the East River and took the East India Company to continue north.

But who knows, Dongjiang, which he is proud of and uses as his strong backing, has actually had problems this time.

At the end of October, more than 20,000 Dongjiang troops with 6,000 Shandong soldiers returned to Tieshan City, and every time Mao Jue returned to Tieshan, it seemed that there were a lot of changes here, which could be positive before, but this time it was negative.

Tieshan Port, which is busy on weekdays, is also covered with snow at this time, and in the coldest months, there are almost no merchants who will come to trade, and it is also a few months when the Dongjiang River is closed, but now, in the half-foot-thick snow, it is still overcrowded, and the homeless people in tattered clothes are crowded in the market, and the yard, on the fishing wharf, the busy fishing port is also full of broken boats, small sampans, and the blocked Dongjiang warships are a little unable to enter.

In the ice and snow, many people are even buried in the school, only one head is left to see that it is a person, on the beach of the port, the frozen corpses are stacked with a thick layer, just like ice sculptures, the telescope looked at a large group, Mao Jue couldn't help but be shocked, Tie Yi is his foundation, soldiers, wealth, food source, here he really can't afford to lose.

Aderena's affairs can only be put aside, Mao Jue is impatient order.

"Wear my military order, blow the trumpet, and go ashore!"

In the desolate sound of the horn, the huge fleet pressed directly over regardless of it, and the sampan blocked in the military port crackled like popcorn and was crushed by the huge and sharp hull, and the sound of ruin was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the crowd in the snowdrifts on the shore suddenly stood up with a chaotic bee chrysalis, as if there were countless more people for a while.

Mao Jue was really a little frightened, all these years, he had not seen any kind of enemy, but this kind of hollow-eyed, skinny, zombie-like crowd he saw for the first time, the Dongjiang army that went down through the ship ladder was immediately surrounded, and could only use guns to form a defensive net, just like the police in later generations, the angry Wen Meng knocked over a large area with a few fists, but those people were still numb and stood up again, and crowded over.

Fortunately, the news of Mao Jue's return was a big deal for the Dongjiang River, and there was a sudden uproar on the shore, and hundreds of guards also tried their best to crowd into the crowd and push open a passage.

"Master General, it's Lord Fan!"

Lowering the binoculars, the lance jerked forward. Focusing the telescope, Mao Jue's voice was a little faster.

"Come on, pick up Master Fan!"

…………

It wasn't until he saw Fan Wenju that Mao Jue breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't the economic crisis he was most worried about in the Dongjiang River, but in an instant, he still had a headache and hammered his head.

At the other end, the two wings of the seven-rank black gauze hat trembled and trembled, and Fan Wenju slammed his head on the ground, pleading guilty in shame.

I don't blame him for this, these chaotic, zombie-like crowds just now are all refugees from the Shandong Peninsula!

Just as Mao Jue had predicted before, Chongzhen's seventh, thirteenth, and fifteenth years were the three major winners and losers of the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

Shaanxi battlefield, carriage gorge, the opportunity of the heaven-given Ming Dynasty carriage gorge was let go by Emperor Chongzhen as always, fake surrender of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other more than ten troops from the carriage gorge out of the trap, in Shaanxi re-attacked the official army to stand on their own, 40,000 peasant army backbone into more than 100,000 troops in a blink of an eye, locusts once again swept through Shanxi, and Chen Qiyu's army was basically attacked and collapsed, and the peasant army once again became out of control.

Moreover, this year is another year of unprecedented drought, natural and man-made disasters combined, and tens of millions of people have been displaced in the entire north, forming a terrible powder keg under the buttocks of the Ming Dynasty, slowly emitting black smoke.

"Seriously?"

Seeing Mao Jue frowning and asking, Fan Wenju kowtowed in fear again.

"Almost all outside Iron Mountain is occupied by homeless people! also broke more than a dozen Juntun Zhuangzi! Xiaguan ...... The lower officials can't stand up, please punish the master!"

The cause of the incident can be traced back to the last time Mao Jue Mao Jue recalled the displaced people in eastern Liaoning, and the news of the good life in the Dongjiang River spread on the ground in Shandong, this time there was a great drought in the world, and more than 200,000 people from Shanxi and Henan rushed into Shandong, and there was nowhere to stay in the locality.

It's really a success and a failure, and Xiao He, pacifying the local government and governing government affairs, Fan Wenju is definitely a good hand, but the matter of the displaced people made him deal with it.

When the first group of displaced people arrived, Fan Wenju ordered to appease and try to place the displaced people in the newly developed territory of Hamgyong Province, but the speed of the displaced people was too fast, exceeding the speed of digestion by the Dongjiang River, the first batch of thousands of people was not settled, the second batch of tens of thousands of people came, and then the third batch, the land of Hamgyong Province was also limited, and a large number of displaced people were stuck here.

If Su Changmei was here before, he dared to mess up the Dongjiang River, he didn't care whether you were a Ming person or not, he was a killer, although the iron-blooded methods were cruel, but in the troubled times, he should use heavy codes, and he would not get the current paralyzed situation. I just met such a kind-hearted gentleman as Fan Wenju, but I also encountered Mao Jue's absence in the Dongjiang River during this interval, more and more displaced people caused today's chaos, but almost more than 20,000 Dongjiang people were displaced and retreated to Tieshan City, the fishing grounds were suspended, and the wharf was also dried up.

On the shore of the port, the increasingly noisy shouts gradually became neat, but the hungry people who were weak and weak were extremely vicious, gritting their teeth and shouting the slogan of unity.

"We want food!"

"Plough the land for Lao Tzu! Otherwise, we'll get in!"

"How serious?"

Becoming more and more irritable, Mao Jue asked with a frown, and Fan Wenju's head became lower and lower.

"More than 100,000!"
