"This ...... Is the imperial court going to recover Liaodong? The old fisherman muttered to himself.

His neighbor listened and continued: "At least we will be able to recover Golden State!" ”

However, they were disappointed. The warships loaded with people have docked one after another, driving everyone off the ship, and even many of them are helping or carrying off the ship, although these new army officers and soldiers are elite on land, but this time on the boat, they are vomiting to death, and it is estimated that they will never forget it for the rest of their lives.

The other ships, after simply resupplying at Port Arthur, did not unload their cargo, and then left the port for the final destination of Phi Dao.

When Lu Xiangsheng returned to Lushun by boat and was preparing for the next stage of the campaign, in the back hall of the Governor's Mansion in Guihua City, far away on the grassland, Governor Hong Chengchou was entertaining Yang Sichang, the governor of Baotou who had just arrived in the grassland and came to report to the Governor's Palace.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou had no shelf, he smiled and took the tea and said: "This kind of mare's milk tea is a special product of the grassland, and it can't be drunk anywhere else." Maybe I'm a little unaccustomed to it at first, but after drinking too much, I still think it's good, Brother Yang doesn't bother to try it! ”

When Yang Sichang saw it, he hurriedly picked up the teacup, and at the same time said with a little respect: "The Governor is too polite, the lowly position is a subordinate of the Lord, how dare you be called this!" ”

Hong Chengchou didn't care at all when he heard this, he first drank a sip of mare's milk tea, and then put down the teacup before saying: "I am under the command of Governor Yang, and I am under the care of Governor Yang, and it is the recommendation of Governor Yang, so that I can get to where I am today." How can I forget such kindness! This is the back hall, not the outside, and it is treated as a private friendship. And I'm five years younger, so it's right to call Brother Yang. ”

Yang Sichang heard this, and wanted to excuse himself again, but saw that Hong Chengchou introduced the topic again, and did not give him a chance to say: "A few days ago, I learned from the emperor about Brother Yang's grassland countermeasures, and I was really amazed. It's a blessing to have Brother Yang to help me! ”

Speaking of this, he picked up the maid's cup full of mare's milk tea, and signaled to Yang Sichangyi: "Brother Yang has arrived, and Baotou will be entrusted to Brother Yang!" ”

As far as the current situation is concerned, the danger on the Baotou side is not small, Yang Sichang is here, and he is the governor of Baotou, so he naturally has to share a large part of the burden on Hong Chengchou. In this case, he is naturally very welcome.

From the beginning, although Hong Chengchou was polite, he behaved very strongly. Yang Sichang also knows in his heart, don't look at Hong Chengchou is polite at the moment, and his father's kindness is on his lips, and he admires himself or something, but if he really has something, Hong Chengchou is such a strong person, he will definitely not think of this.

"How can the lower officials be virtuous, they are all the work of the emperor and the emperor!" Yang Sichang continued to maintain a modest posture and said, "On the Baotou side, the lower officials naturally do their best, and this is guaranteed in front of the emperor. When the lower officials were in front of the emperor, they also heard the emperor personally praise the governor, and I believe that with the governor in charge of the overall situation, I will be able to make my Ming Dynasty gain a firm foothold in the Hetao! ”

After finishing speaking, he drank all the tea in the cup, frowned, but immediately relaxed, and then said with a smile: "This kind of grassland specialty, it really has a unique taste, not bad, not bad!" ”

Invisibly, he delivered a message to Hong Chengchou. He Yang Sichang is a person valued by the emperor, and you Hong Chengchou are also a talented person, you are in charge of the overall situation here in Hetao, if something happens, no one will be able to escape.

Hong Chengchou didn't seem to hear it, and still smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Yang is still very accustomed to this mare's milk tea, which is a good sign!" ”

After saying this, he paused, seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Brother Yang today, but there are distinguished guests arriving in the past two days, the grassland is bitterly cold, and the materials are scarce, so I simply entertain together." If there is any neglect, look at Haihan! ”

"Guest?" Yang Sichang was stunned after hearing this, and then asked a little curiously: "But the former assistant minister Cheng Jiming and the imperial history Liu ......."

"Brother Yang's words!" Hong Chengchou said with a smile, "Brother Yang has said a few, and they have already arrived." If Brother Yang is interested in meeting them, I will have them brought in. I'm talking about a distinguished guest, but I am a real distinguished guest. This guest is ......"

Who knew that before he finished his words, he saw a personal guard hurriedly enter, clasped his fists and said, "Master, the Ministry of Rites has arrived outside the naturalization city!" ”

"What?" When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately stood up and said in surprise, "Why is it so fast!" ”

Speaking of this, he also knew that the guards couldn't answer this question, so he turned his head and said to Yang Sichang, who also stood up: "The distinguished guest I said came so quickly, go, Brother Yang will go with me to greet you!" ”

Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? Yang Sichang flashed a name in his mind, and he was also surprised in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went out with Hong Chengchou.

It didn't take long for Hong Chengchou to take the lead, leading his civilian and military generals to wait for the convoy winding from the south.

Or the convoy also saw a group of officials outside the city gate, so they sped up, and after a while, they arrived at the bottom of the city.

"Under the official naturalization governor Hong Chengchou led the naturalization colleagues to welcome the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!" Hong Chengchou's voice was loud and full of enthusiasm. For him, Xu Guangqi's arrival, he warmly welcomed. There was no other reason than because Xu Guangqi brought what he wanted so much.

On the first carriage, a guard lifted the curtain, Xu Guangqi came out with a tired face, and after getting out of the carriage with the support of the guard, he smiled and said, "Thank you!" ”

After Hong Chengchou conquered the city of Guihua and took control of the Hetao Plain, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to Xu Guangqi in Guangxi through Liu Jinsheng, a member of the chat group, to bring crop seeds to the Hetao.

Although Xu Guangqi is good at farming, he also knows military affairs, so he naturally knows the importance of the Ming Dynasty mastering the Hetao. Therefore, as soon as he received the order, he immediately rushed to the Loop. Originally, it was scheduled to arrive in Naturalization City tomorrow, but Xu Guangqi arrived a day early.

As he spoke, he suddenly saw Cheng Jiming behind Hong Chengchou, so he shrank back, dodging, as if he didn't want to face himself. Then, Xu Guangqi also saw several other familiar faces, all of which seemed to be from the imperial history.

Hehe, the level of this little naturalized state is really high! Xu Guangqi thought in his heart, but he didn't take the initiative to say hello. It's a down-and-out time for people now, and if they don't want to see themselves, there's no need to fall into the well!

So, surrounded by Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang and others, he walked into the city, and said to the two people around him at the same time: "After this official left Beijing, he was ordered to promote sweet potatoes, and at the same time collected crops from all over the country. However, the habits of some things are not understood, so I will keep some of them all, try to plant them, see those suitable for the loop, and start to promote planting on a large scale next year, I hope it can help you! ”
