[It's late again, sorry.] 】

"Why are you gone again?!"

When Mi Yu rushed to the dock out of breath, he saw several ships sailing north in the farewell of the port horn. Taking advantage of the south wind in spring, the giant boats of two or three thousand materials turned into a little sail shadow on the occasion of the sea and sky after a while.

Several people on the ship were the targets he was trying to meet, but since he arrived at Haimen, no matter how anxious Mi Yu was, he saw several generals of Anjing Tiannan, walking around all over Jiaozhou.

Zhang Dian and Han Gang, from Haimen to Thang Long Mansion - now called Hanoi Village - made an alliance with the Jiaozhou tribes, and from Hanoi Village, returned to Haimen, but just a few days after resting, they led the army to cross the sea and returned to Yongzhou from Haimen.

Mi Yu handed over the name post, but no one paid attention to it at all. He didn't expect to be received by Zhang and Han, but if he could meet with the staff or family members of the two families and get acquainted with it, it would be much easier to get through the joints in the future.

He and Zhang Dian are in the township of Fujian, and Han Gang's cousin can be regarded as nodding friends, when he was still in the capital in the winter of last year, because Ji Beibu was squeezed for a while, it was Feng Congyi who helped him out, with this relationship, he was able to pull a little relationship. It's just that Mi Yu didn't expect that both sides ignored it, so he didn't even have a place to send money.

Standing on the dock, Mi Yu sighed and beat his chest. The soldiers and coolies who came and went looked at him with the eyes of a madman. It wasn't until the two soldiers who were patrolling the dock looked at the eyes and came up to catch up with people that Mi Yu's performance on the dock came to an end.

Returning to the city from Hong Kong in despair, Mi Yu thought about it for a long time. This matter is not completely hopeless, at least there is one more person to deal with.

Zhang Dan, Han Gang, Yan Da and Li Xian all returned to Yongzhou, and heard that they had received a holy decree to punish a group of Jiaozhi rebels outside Yongzhou City to pay tribute to the 100,000 souls who had died in the invasion of the thieves more than a year ago.

And most of the troops also followed them back one after another. All of the tribal cave masters have also left the Sea Gate for their newfound territory.

Among the main generals, only Li Xin remained in Haimen. As the right to send Guangxi to the jurisdiction, he wants to temporarily guard southern Xinjiang.

Li Xin is Han Gang's cousin, and of course Feng Congyi's cousin. It's just that Mi Yu heard that Li Xin doesn't like to make friends with people, he is not very easy to deal with, and he is a military general, his status is far from that of a civil official, and he does not have much say in business matters. Mi Yu didn't think to get to know him. It's just that I don't have a choice now, so I can only ask to meet.

Since Yanda returned to the north, Li Xin was the highest-ranking military general in Jiaozhou, but he did not go out of the military camp much, nor did he interfere with local government affairs, but only inspected the army, taught the soldiers, and practiced martial arts by the way. In his spare time, he listened to Han Gang's instructions, read some books on the art of war, geography and medicine, and by the way, wrote about his experience in this battle in the vernacular, which was not very literary.

As long as it is daytime, passing in front of the military camp in the south of Haimen County, you can see that on the school field of the camp, Li Chanzhi is doing his best to train the soldiers under his command. Dozens or hundreds of people were on the school grounds, shouting trumpets loudly, obeying Shangguan's orders, and constantly changing queues and formations. There are also groups of soldiers, holding javelins, and throwing them vigorously at the target thirty or forty paces away - the Jiaozhou bow and crossbow are difficult to use, and the javelin is the best long-range weapon.

Although the more than 1,000 Guangxi gunsmiths under Li Xin's command were all recruits who had been recruited for less than a year. But after all, they have participated in several major battles, and they cannot be regarded as weak soldiers, and in the army of Liangguang, in terms of equipment, morale, and experience, they can be regarded as the elite who can be ranked first. If properly trained, this army will be able to maintain combat effectiveness above the standard for at least a dozen years. As for the future, it can't be counted on, after all, it is an era when the Hebei army has become sparse in peace.

Li Xin didn't want to stay in Guangxi for too long, otherwise it would be difficult to return to the north as time went by. He still likes the water and soil of the north, and although he has been in the south for a long time, it is still difficult for him to get used to the humid and rainy climate.

But then again, even if Li Xin wants to stay in Guangxi for two more years, it is not so easy. He has made a lot of contributions in the war against Cochin, and has always been at the forefront as a vanguard. The credit made it difficult for Li Xin to continue to flow in Guangxi - this is what his cousin Han Gang himself said.

After the first level war, most of Li Xin's own officials were able to climb a few more steps on the long road of the 40th rank of envoys and envoys, plus a regimental training envoy or observation envoy of Yaojun. In the past, this was basically a class only that had been in the army for twenty or thirty years, but Li Xin got it all after several major battles.

Just seven or eight years ago, when Hehuang Kaibian had just begun, he and his cousin Han Gang shared a common favor of keeping the covenant, and he was only a deputy envoy from the supply and reserve treasury of the seventh grade, and he was the lowest rank among the envoys and envoys, far inferior to Li Xin's current deputy envoy of Wensi, and he did not have the title of Yaojun. It's just that in the past few years, because of his accumulated merits and the prestige of the general, he has been promoted to the position of the highest-ranking Sanyaguan army in the army.

At present, Li Xin relies on his accumulated military exploits, his official is not low, and he is already the right to send Guangxi to the jurisdiction, if he still stays in Guangxi, he can't be given a deputy chief of soldiers and horses to do - when Yan Da did the right to send Qin Feng's deputy chief of soldiers and horses, he was almost forty, and because he was born in Beijing, and Li Xin was only a few years older than Han Gang, only in his early thirties-but if he was still a commander, where would he transfer the generals and be qualified to press on his head?

In a few days, he will definitely enter Beijing, or transfer to the northern roads—in terms of status, the military attachés of the northern border roads will be higher than the military attachés of the same rank in the south. Li Xin used to serve as the governor of Jingnan, and when he entered Beijing to participate in the court meeting to meet the Son of Heaven, the people in front of him were all the northern governors.

Just being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, as long as Li Xin is still in office in Guangxi, his work will not be discounted at all. More than 1,000 soldiers, one by one, were drilled and cried wolf. If it weren't for his high prestige, fame, and strong martial arts, his exploits were also admirable, and he was all new soldiers, and he didn't get infected with the bad habits of those soldiers, maybe a mutiny would have been possible.

After training for a morning, Li Xin waved his hand and let the soldiers below go home.

Every soldier, even a single man without a family, now has someone in the family to help with laundry, cooking, and, of course, spending the night with him. As soon as Li Xin said that he was scattered, the soldiers who were in a hurry to go home waited for Li Xin to leave, and then they dispersed. After months of fighting, a morning of training has not made them weak enough to do what they want to do.

It's not just the enjoyment of the soldiers below, but the generals and colonels have got a group of cochin maids according to their status. The higher the official position, the earlier it can be selected, and naturally the one around you is better than the other.

When Li Xin returned to the mansion, a young and lovely waitress immediately served tea and soup, and two waitresses of the same color helped to take off their shoes. After removing the armor and weapons on his body, another maid came in and said that the hot soup for bathing had been boiled, and asked Li Xin to come over.

Compared with the clumsy soldiers, the service of the handmaidens is of course far better. The four maidservants around Li Xin now are all from Jiaozhi official eunuchs, although they are not stunning, but when they get to the middle school, they can be regarded as top-grade.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, in the simple little study, Li Xin flipped through a famous post on the table.

"Mi Yu?" Li Xin doesn't remember hearing the name.

Look at the head, I only know that Lu Dao is a Fujianese, a cloth cloth with no official body. However, the name card actually said that he had an old relationship with his cousin Feng Congyi, and he came from the capital, most of whom were businessmen. Looking at the gift list attached to the name post, it is not very valuable, but it cannot be said to be meager, and only businessmen will do so. In other words, it is a poor and large visit, and most of them are a few half-incomprehensible poems.

Merchants are often wealthy, and the people have long since ceased to discriminate against them, and many civil and military officials have bought and sold their homes. But the status of businessmen on the surface is still not high, ranking last among the four people, and wandering above the rivers and lakes, not subject to territorial jurisdiction, buying and selling a pile of goods urgently needed by the people's livelihood at a low price and selling high, and making profits from the heads of the people, which always makes many people look at it, and serious officials will not meet a businessman, but will let his cronies and family members talk to him and pass on the message in the middle.

But Li Xin didn't have so many ideas.

"Let him in." Li Xin put the name card up and ordered his own soldiers. The youngest cousin has not been seen for several years, and can only pass on the book through the wild goose, so he is missing.

Soon, Mi Yu, who was guarding the gatehouse, was brought in, saluted, and Li Xin invited him to sit down.

Watching Mi Yu carefully sit down on the chair at the next head, he only occupied half of his buttocks. Li Xin served tea and asked, "I don't know if my brother Tai is from Beijing, but he brought a letter from my cousin?" ”

"The villain is a cloth merchant who travels between Guangzhou and the capital, and he has always been good friends with Feng Xingshou, and often drinks together. I always heard him mention Han Longtu and General Li in private. Mi Yu smiled, "But the villain didn't plan to come to Jiaozhou this time." It was only in Guangzhou that he heard that the official army had won a great victory, and the thieves reaped the consequences, so they rushed here. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Xin was a little disappointed, it turned out that he didn't come with a letter from his cousin. Thinking about it, he asked, "When was the last time I saw my cousin?" ”

"It was in the winter months of last year. When the villain went to Beijing, he saw Feng Xingshou. At that time, Feng Xingshou was given a rank by the Son of Heaven because he offered the precious medicine of the Western Regions to the seriously ill Empress Dowager. However, Feng Xingshou later looked back and said that it was because of the military exploits of Master Han and General Li that he was wiped out. ”
