Chapter 133. The spring is cold
People say that the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and when I arrived at Mao Jue, I really responded to this scene.
It is still on the edge of the Yalu River, but at this time it is already prosperous like a small town, not only pubs, inns, casinos, but also out of the market, a row of adobe thatched houses between the wide market road, people come and go very lively.
"This fucking Jiannu is really willing!"
Not only the pearls picked last year, mink deer antlers, and the horse market, but the quality of the war horses brought by the gold merchants after this year was obviously of a higher quality, and they also crossed the river in disguise, patting a war horse, Su Changmei was full of praise.
"Look, general, this horse is one foot five tall at the shoulders, the hair color is red, and there is not a single miscellaneous hair, plus the teeth are neat, the muscles are strong, and the four hooves are thick, this will be sold to the south, and some people will ask for two hundred taels!"
Pat the horse's ass, pat the horse's ass, this thing patted the horse Houqiu and praised it, and patted the horse so comfortably that he raised his head and neighed, but this is not the point.
"General, this Jiannu has sold such a good war horse, and it is still on such a large scale, it should not attack us this year!"
"General, let's go to Jeju!"
The last time Lee's Korean War, up to the generals, down to the small soldiers, all of them were so rich that until now they are all obsessed, this time the Japanese invaded the Xiongjin shipyard again, and the March period agreed with Li Yuanyi is approaching, the Nanren Party has already inspired the Korean Renzu to write to the Ming court, borrowing the Dongjiang soldiers to quell the Japanese rebellion, this dead fat man is very anxious.
But he was in a hurry, but Mao Jue was not in a hurry, now he also understands horses, and he also reached out and pinched the horse's chin lovingly, but then he pouted.
"God knows if this is the Houjin False Dao Falsification!"
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Kingdom wanted to fight the Yu Kingdom, but there was still a Yu Country between them, that is, the country of Yu Ji's ancestor, the monarch of the Jin Kingdom in order to borrow the Tao, to the Yu State Monarch Guild, sent jasper and good horses, Yu Ji her ancestor was happy, and borrowed the Tao.
As a result, the Jin army destroyed the Yu State on the way back to the division, and the good horse and Baoyu were taken back by the Jin State.
But now Mao Jue is a little too worried, the Houjin people are willing to read "Three Kingdoms", it seems that they are not willing to watch "Spring and Autumn", "Zuo Chuan", Huang Taiji is afraid of Mao Jue, but Houjin said that it is a war machine, and it is not a real machine.
These good horses sent to trade belong to Huang Taiji to appease Mao Jue, especially last year, Houjin also defeated Lin Dan Khan of Chahar and occupied the right wing of Mongolia, what is the best product to appease the Mongols? Liquor! In order to win people's hearts, for Mao Jue's bud rice wine, the demand for Houjin is still great! At least Huang Taiji felt that before Mongolia was completely wooed, he easily didn't want to touch Mao Jue, a big wine merchant.
But there's nothing wrong with being careful! Follow Su Changmei to inspect the border city first, and then Mao Jue walked along the Yalu River, now there are six front tooth forts standing on three shallows that can be forced, each fortress has hundreds of soldiers, reclaiming the nearby land, and two regiments of the pro-corps are stationed nearby, if the Houjin army wants to force the crossing, the cannons of the fortress can teach them how to behave well!
In Yizhou, Mao Jue held another military meeting, the huge sea, Liu Chong, the two cronies of the generals were very sad to be ordered to stay, who let the two of them have been reversed once or twice rewarded, it is considered to be well-off, the rest of the new army soldiers are still poor and white Mao Jue can't just say, they must let them see the benefits of following themselves.
"Once Jiannu invaded Yizhou, all the personnel retreated to the military fort, what crops, workshops, market towns, and materials in the countryside were all burned by Lao Tzu, and not a single potato was given to Jiannu, and the armies were not allowed to go out of the city to fight, just use the cannon at the head of the city to beat Lao Tzu to his mother, do you hear clearly!"
"Don't worry, the general will be saved!"
Mao Jue knocked on the table and ordered solemnly, and the two left-behind generals also clenched their fists solemnly.
The worst plans are done, and the preparations for the expedition are foolproof, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Zhao Cheng, Shen Rong and others, who have a quota for the army, are not overjoyed one by one, and this time there are two new generals, both of whom are old soldiers under Mao Wenlong, and they are also gearing up there, to give Xiao Mao Shuai a little performance, looking at the energetic appearance of more and more generals under his hands, the solemnity on Mao Jue's face dissipated, revealing a sense of relaxation.
Military prestige is built by fighting! Other Ming armies are doing everything possible to avoid the war, but the Iron Righteous Army under his command is angry when they hear gold, and they are happy when they hear drums.
This is also the capital of his life!
However, before leaving, Mao Jue finally went to a place, White Horse Mountain City, the headquarters of thousands of households.
In the countryside, the snow has not yet melted, covering large fields, and the occasional cold complaint of roosters and dogs in the town can be heard.
Qianhu led the way, along the village all the way in, in front of a mountain field, Mao Jue's car stopped the wheels, pointed to a hut, the thousand total bowed respectfully.
"Master General, the person you are looking for is here!"
Not to mention, in the past half a year, there was originally an empty house for Yuan Chonghuan to run is really decent, the front yard set up a gourd shelf, although the gourds are dead this season, but there are two dry big gourds hanging on the vine, on the other end, a big yellow dog lying in the kennel, listening to the people coming, vigilantly raised his head, but the dog will also look at the face, as soon as he saw that the master of the tunzi was coming, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and retracted back into the kennel, not daring to make a sound, on the other end, a few chickens and ducks were enclosed in the chicken coop and duck shed, It's a pimple and a pimple.
A large bunch of buds are still hanging on the wall, and at the bottom, there are huge stacks of buds, and you can vaguely see a few figures shaking in the house.
It's so much of the Northeast flavor of later generations.
beckoned Mao Jue to get out of the car, and then Mr. Qian shouted to the house again.
"Sister-in-law of the Yuan family, come out quickly! The general is here!"
It didn't matter if the voice was heard, there were two more clanging sounds, and then the two women wiped their hands and hurriedly greeted them.
Not to mention, in the end, it is from a big family, even if she is reduced to this, wearing a village woman's thorn skirt, this Mrs. Yuan can see the virtuous and dignified spirit of a book, as for the little concubine Zhao, although it is almost, it is not bad, the two women rushed to the courtyard with panic and timidity, and bowed to Mao Jue.
"The concubine has seen the general! My father-in-law ...... him, please take care of the master!"
Looking down, the hands of the two women were red, still dripping with water, it was cold enough outside, nodded and didn't say anything, Mao Jue walked straight in front of him, and hurriedly followed, the two women also entered the house and closed the door.
No wonder their hands are red, the room is actually full of clothes, the two large laundry basins are full, the room allocated to Yuan Chonghuan is not small, the kang in the empty west house is also hot, and a row of clotheslines are full of clothes.
"What is this?"
"General, the men of their family don't make any efforts, and the women's families can't take care of them, a few acres of land are half barren, and the last general sees them pitiful, afraid that they will starve to death, so he discussed with a few families next to him, and a few men in the vicinity share the burden under the cultivation of the fields, and the sister-in-law of the Yuan family will help wash the clothes for a few bachelors."
Mao Jue, who heard this, was suddenly unhappy, good guy Yuan Supervisor Yuan shouted loudly in later generations, and he was also a guy who ate soft rice! It's all come to this point, he doesn't even want to give up a little strength, and let his woman support him, especially what he is doing now, for Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Jue has seen a little more clearly.
Displeased, Mao Jue didn't say a word, stretched out his hand and pushed the door of the east house open, the sound of reading inside stopped abruptly, and another scene came into Mao Jue's eyes.
On the hot fire, the four people sat cross-legged, compared to when they first came, Yuan Chonghuan was really much more energetic, his hair was neatly combed, the crown was draped behind his head, and he was wearing a clean gown, he was there with his sleeves closed and shook his head, and the three people next to him were the target of Mao Jue's trip. Instead, he pouted fiercely.
"What are you doing again, stinky bandit?"
On the edge of the kang, the old lady who is a martial arts master is also working with her hands, and the work she is doing is embarrassing to the total number of people in the house, she is wrapping the filter made of tobacco and bark soaked in cut white paper, rolling into cigarettes, and on the edge of the kang, the cigarette box has been put a lot.
I really didn't expect that there were fake cigarettes under my hands, after all, this is a kind of tobacco, and I intercepted the flow point privately, and I couldn't find it out from above, so I made cigarettes, and I smoked a lot of people in the tunzi, and it was also considered to change some food for this devil's family, Mao Jue was a mirror in his heart, and he didn't compare with this thousand.
"General Xiao Mao sang a great play! In the Tieshan camp, the two Qincha lost all the face of the court, and they were so merciful, they used their ill-gotten gains to compensate the soldiers and buy people's hearts! Your father has been loyal to the imperial court to guard the Dongjiang River for ten years, General Mao, you are ambitious, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of the law of the imperial court, and in the future, you will implicate the nine clans? ”
After closing his eyes for a while, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes suddenly widened angrily, just like the Dharma Protector King Kong, angrily and loudly scolded, his voice was sonorous, it was exactly the same as those positive characters on TV, and the loyal ministers scolded the traitorous ministers.
If it were according to the script, Mao Jue would be honestly afraid, or he would have a treacherous villain face, and he would have a sinister smile, but what almost didn't make Yuan Chonghuan vomit blood was that Mao Jue didn't even bird him, and threw him down contemptuously and dug him aside.
"Didn't look for you!"
Yuan Chonghuan's angry old face was flushed, and on the edge of the kang, the old lady who was a martial arts master also stopped rolling cigarettes......
