Zuocheng, in the Guiqing Garden that was temporarily wrapped,

Originally, the private meeting in order to coordinate all parties and deal with Roche together was shrouded in a gloomy and bleak depressing atmosphere.

Even the full table of wine and delicacies has not been touched for a long time, and no one dares to step forward to replace the warmth, and it has become cold.

The people sitting in front of the table were like frosted quails, complaining to each other about something

"Prince Chenghai, do you want to get both people and money?"

"A little decent benefit, isn't it far away for us......"

"In vain, we were busy and calculated for most of the day...... but he made a wedding dress. ”

"It's futile to say anything more......"

"Is it possible that you can still count on us, and you can't fight for food with the public"

"We can't compete for the name on the surface, but we can still find a way to deal with those channels and interests in private."

"I believe in the public house, and I can't look down on these things."

"It's obvious that everything is well planned, how can the prince of Chenghai pick it out and intervene."

"Chenghai Shizi's shot this time, is it an accidental whim."

"Because, there have always been people around him to agitate,"

No matter how entangled and repeated the driving force behind the gradual exclusion of this group of northerners from the game is.

The old city, the first mountain palace in the big interior, outside the Haiqing gate with gray tiles and yellow walls,

Cao Jixiang, who was already a palace envoy, was a little uneasy, and frequently looked up in a certain direction. While cheering himself up, isn't it just to receive a lot of benefits and send a message to the inner chamberlain, but in fact, there is not much of a problem.

After a long and torturous wait, he finally met the fat husband who came alone.

This pampered eunuch didn't say a word about him, until he saw Cao Jixiang beside him, squatting with his head in men's clothes, and a jade plaque in his hand, that his face eased.

"It's you......"

"Miscellaneous talk counts......

"You've got to figure it out......"

"What the Son of Heaven sent out, it's just like that......"

"I just want to ask the Grand Duke to introduce someone"

Holding his head and squatting calmly

"What kind of person is it, the ability of the miscellaneous family is also limited......"

"It's just Chen Anren, who is currently staying in Ouchi to accompany him"

"She's ......"

Husband Ning's expression suddenly relaxed.

"I've been very busy lately, but I'm afraid I don't have much time to meet guests......"

"I'll help you ask how it is...... Wait here."

"Please also ask my father-in-law to pass on two sentences for me......"

Holding his head and squatting is also quite decisive

"The hillside where kapok blooms......"

In the side hall where the ladies were resting, after hearing these words, Mrs. Chen's face remained unchanged, she suddenly stood up and walked straight out of the door, but was blocked by a female official wearing a gauze hat waiting outside the door.

"Anren, where are you going......

She couldn't help but say that she slammed a few ear scrapers of the older female officer in front of her, and beat the other party to the ground, and her well-made cheeks suddenly swelled, and she exclaimed inarticulately

"You ......"

"You bitch, who bought you to hold me back......"

Mrs. Chen just gave her a cold look and pushed her aside.

Then next, she kicked hard again, and when she heard the sound, she came over to the lower abdomen of the personal maid, kicking the other party unexpectedly and curled up on the ground like a shrimp

"Teach you to dare to cut off the inside and outside, intercept my message, and destroy my big things......"

When she entered the inner hall of Wensi, where the young Son of Heaven was located, she had the image of a calm and complacent woman. A salute, and said respectfully to the Son of Heaven who was on the case

"The courtiers must resign from the ......"

"Because someone tried in vain to frame my brother and fornicate with the rebels......"

"And ...... thing"

The young man was a little surprised.

"Did you remember that Luo Sheng ......?"

"It turned out to be his ......"

The young man nodded

"It's also a ...... that saves the driver"

"Now he is fighting abroad for the country, but there are some obstacles at home, and I need to help one or two ......"

"I understand ......"

When Mrs. Chen was led by the chamberlain to the palace gate, she suddenly found that someone was blocking the door where she got into the car, and she couldn't help but say angrily

"Do you want to stop me......

"Don't dare, I just want to ask someone on behalf of ......"

But it was Chen's experience, who had been missing for a long time, and he just whispered helplessly

"Hui Niang, is it worth ...... you do this?"

"My brother's life and death in the Northland are unknown, and my husband is trying to turn the tide ahead......"

Mrs. Chen whipped him to the side, and got into the car without looking back

"You actually asked me if I was worth it......"

"Raozhou Chen should be ashamed of you......"

When I returned from inspecting the construction and training situation in the field again, I finally received good news.

"The land route to Dagang on Yuzhou Island (now Lianyungang City, formerly known as Island Island) in Haizhou has been opened.

"And obtained a number of Seabird clippers for telecommunications in the local area......"

"The latest batch of messengers have boarded the ship, and it is believed that they will arrive at Hu Douzhou (now Nantong City, Jiangsu, the ancient island island of the Yangtze River estuary) in the near future......"

Hearing this news, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, according to the original plan,

The overall strategy of traversing the Jiaodong Peninsula encountered some obstacles and difficulties in Haizhou, which is downstream of Mushui, a few days ago.

Because, a large number of remnants of local militias entrenched in Muyang and the East China Sea have resolutely resisted our arrival.

Originally, the 7th Battalion was occupied in the light yì, after the Komayama Castle of Haizhou Prefecture. Or routinely send local soldiers from the city to negotiate and declare these local forces, and make them come to join and report.

However, this time there was a big accident, after the other party saw the banner of his army, he immediately turned his face and slashed the representatives sent, and gathered in all directions, with the cooperation of Neiying, and entered Komayama Castle in one go.

For a time, there was a situation where the enemy was in sight, and almost even the 7th Battalion, which had not yet gained a firm foothold, and the 8th Brigade of the Auxiliary Army, were driven out of the city together, and they were trapped in the corner of Zhenhai Gate in the East Gate Tower.

Fortunately, the seventh battalion is the general Du Sang, who is also a veteran veteran who has fought with me in Tiannan and Anyuan, and sent a strange soldier to rush out of the east gate in time, bypassing most of the city wall, and from the relatively empty Juyang Gate in the south, he re-entered the counterattack on its rear road, until it could not take care of each other and was in chaos, so that the situation could be stabilized.

Then, relying on the city defense and firearms, he fought several beautiful counterattacks in the east of the city, thwarted the momentum and sharpness of several Tutuan forces, and finally used a night attack to defeat most of them, and the rabble were defeated and dispersed.

Then, with the support of the 8th Battalion of Mizhou, which came to Mizhou in the future, it took some more time to pursue and eliminate these scattered Tutuan forces in Longtho, Xinle, Quyang, Houqiu, Huairen, Licheng, and Zhuqi.

In the end, he was able to annihilate the last large remnant of Yuzhou Island in one fell swoop, capturing about 1,000 people. Therefore, it is only now that the road has been basically cleared, and the news of the large port of Yuzhou Island has been obtained.

It's just that the interrogation of the prisoners afterwards and the reasons for the resolute resistance of these local armed forces make people feel a bit unjustified, but they were implicated in the massacre of the city in Bianzhou by the center of the New Army, and many of them were conscripted to the local Haizhou people.

Later, outside the city of Bianzhou, a considerable number of people fled to Haizhou and publicized the incident. As a result, we, who have the same banner of the new army, have also been treated as a flood of beasts, and many twists and turns and accidents have been added.

Fortunately, my ultimate goal was achieved.

Most of Haizhou's territory is plain, with only a small amount of mountainous land in the middle, so what I want to control is only a coastal area that can be quickly exploited.

I have sent several waves of messengers to contact the south through the Huai River, but unfortunately there has not been a single news back.

Therefore, being able to get the rear contact at an earlier time means getting backup and transportation earlier.

Otherwise, at the current rate of consumption, at most we can save food until the turn of spring and summer next year, and the so-called green and yellow seasons will reappear on a large scale of starvation.

And even the fast-growing crops with the shortest growth cycles, such as sweet potatoes and jicama, will not be harvested until the end of summer, not to mention that in addition to manpower and tools, my people also lack seeds and fertilizers.

As a by-product of the process of exterminating these soil groups, there are large-scale open-pit phosphate mines near the city of Jushan in Haizhou, at the southern foot of Jinping Mountain, as well as some lead and copper smelting sites associated with phosphate mines.

This is a windfall. But I don't have the energy to transfer people to mine for the time being.
