Laba Laba, frozen jaw.

Although it was very cold on the eighth day of the lunar month, it was lively on the wharf of Dadonggou.

The Beihai Volunteers stationed here welcomed the Beihai munitions ship today.

Since there is a lot of fresh water from the onshore rivers in the sea near the coast, the salinity of the sea water near the coast is relatively low, and if the weather is colder, the area around the pier will freeze.

At this time, it was difficult for the ship to dock, so the munitions ship had to stop at sea.

Previously, Jia Min had ordered Jiao Li to stop at sea if the ship could not dock.

However, there are many inconveniences when it is parked at sea.

One is that life is very inconvenient, the second is that the wind and waves are very strong, and the third is that it is inconvenient to guard.

There are many ships coming and going, and it takes a lot of troops just to guard the ships.

This time, there were a few special people who came with the munitions ship, and that was the girls from Jiafu.

Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Shi Xiangyun are here.

After Jiao Li and Baochai calculated, they decided to break the ice and row the military ship to the dock.

Now, the ship has entered the dock and is unloading.

The reason why this decision was made was the result of Jiao Li and Baochai's research together.

What prompted them to make this decision was that they had already learned two pieces of information at this time.

First, the three feudatories have reached a decision with the Mogu people to jointly deal with Jia Min, which is the news from Chang'an to Jiao Li.

The second is that Jia Min has led his troops into the Mogu grassland. The second is that when Jia Min set off, he didn't know the news yet.

After Jiao Li and Baochai studied together, they thought that Jia Min was likely to be in danger in the Mogu Grassland due to lack of ammunition, so they decided to send this batch of arms directly to Jia Min.

But the road is far away, and it is not easy to do, Jiao Li is also a little hesitant about this, and in the end, it is Baochai who makes the decision and settles the matter.

The munitions unloaded from the ship were loaded directly onto the wagon. It took three hours, more than seventy carriages were full, and without stopping, they set off for Shengjing.

When I left, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was more than nine o'clock in the evening before I arrived in Phoenix. So I rested here and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.

Escorting the convoy was the defenders of Dadonggou, because they had to defend Dadonggou, they returned overnight, and tomorrow the defenders of Phoenix City continued to escort them to Tongyang Fort.

As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Baochai and Jiao Li led the convoy to set off. After walking a short distance, it began to snow. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and I finally reached Tongyang Fort, so I had to stop.

After stopping at Tongyang Fort for two days, I could barely get on the road. From Tongyang Fort to Xishuitai, a total of one hundred and fifty miles, starting from six o'clock in the morning, the road walked for more than 16 hours, nearly midnight, only to arrive at Xishuitai, see Qingwen who stayed here.

After a short rest in the evening. didn't dare to delay, and early the next morning, Qingwen led more than 20 of his men to escort him to Shengjing.

Xishuitai is also more than 150 miles away from Shengjing, and the snow on the road is still very thick, and it took 20 hours to walk this way before arriving at the arsenal in Guanxiangtun in the early morning of the next day.

At this time, Miaoyu, Daiyu, Tamara, and Xichun were all here, and they were both surprised and happy to see Baochai and others coming.

After asking the reason, I found out that it was Baochai and others who were not worried about here, and the ancestors often thought about Jia Min, Daiyu, Xichun, Miaoyu and Tamara, so they agreed that Baochai and others came here to take a look.

At this time, the post station system from Shengjing to Bukui was already operating normally, and the news that Jia Min and others were here would also pass through the post station and often spread to Bukui, and then from Bukui to Beihai.

Although you can convey the message in letters, after all, it is not the same as meeting the person. Besides, when Baochai and the others set off from Beihai with the munitions ship, the post station system had not yet been opened.

When they arrived at Guan Xiangtun, Baochai and Jiao Li got more news, so they were even more anxious.

In particular, what annoyed Baochai was that at this time, the marriage contract between Jia Min and Chang'an had been announced.

This matter appeared very suddenly, and Beihai and Wendura and Zhao Dahai did not get any news in advance.

Even Princess Chang'an didn't know.

Later, I learned that this matter was the result of private research between King Beijing and Ji Mingluan.

It turned out that the two of them made a decision after Jia Min left, after learning from the imperial capital that the three feudatories had reached an agreement with the Mogu people.

The two of them felt that Jia Min's expedition to the Mogu Grassland would definitely be successful.

What made them make this judgment was Jia Min's previous brilliant record, and second, Chang'an's current weak position.

In their opinion, announcing this marriage contract at this time can completely tie Jia Min to Chang'an.

As long as Jia Min's expedition to the Mogu Grassland is victorious, those who are watching from all over the country will be able to rise up one after another to crusade against the three feudatories.

These forces from all over the world will naturally gather under the command of Chang'an, and at this time, the balance of forces will change. From the previous Jia Min as the main force, it has become the main force with Chang'an as the center.

When Jia Min comes back in the future, the matter has already been completed, and Jia Min can only admit it.

In the past, any official documents in Chang'an were printed here by Daiyu. This time, it was not sent here, but printed directly by Luo Xingshan in Shengjing.

Even Daiyu and others knew the news from the notices posted on the street.

"It's so insidious, and now that the world hasn't been beaten yet, it's starting to be distracted by us."

Daiyu said indignantly.

"It's a bunch of white-eyed wolves, Fourth Brother Min is fighting hard in the front, and they are actually playing tricks in the back. This change of face is too fast. ”

Miaoyu was even more angry and spun on the ground.

As soon as Baochai arrived here, he heard the news and was also shocked.

First, the marriage of Chang'an, which suddenly came out, caught her by surprise. The second is the way Shui Rong and Ji Mingluan handled this matter, which made her dissatisfied.

However, she was able to calm down after all, and she didn't say anything for a while.

At this time, in addition to these female dependents, there were also Jiao Li, Liu Cheng, and Dai Zhi present, these people are all from Beihai, and they are naturally all of one heart, so there is no taboo when everyone speaks.

Everyone knows that Baochai and Jia Min have a marriage contract, so they are watching how she handles this matter at this time.

Although Jiao Li, Liu Cheng, and Dai Zhi were dissatisfied with Chang'an, they were not good at talking like the ladies after all, so they did not squeak for the time being.

"What did Chang'an say over there?"

Baochai asked calmly.

"What else can she say? Yesterday she came and said she didn't know about it. Who believes? Will she still not know? ”

Miaoyu had a look of disdain on her face.

"Chang'an, I still know about this person, she may really not know about it. However, we don't have to dwell on right and wrong in this matter at this time. How to deal with it in the future, Fourth Brother Min has his own ideas. ”

"Miss Bao, is this the end of this matter? If Fourth Brother Min really marries Chang'an, what will you do? ”

Daiyu was anxious for Baochai.

"There are priorities, and at present, Fourth Brother Min is alone in the depths, and the ammunition supply is not available, and he is in a dangerous situation. We have to send him the ammunition. That's the number one priority. ”

As soon as Baochai said this, everyone stopped squeaking.

"Yes, yes, it's imperative to send the ammunition to Chief Min."

"Where is Fourth Brother Min now, we don't know, the road is far away, who will send it? Do you still want to ask Chang'an to send someone to deliver it? I don't feel at ease when they go. ”

Miaoyu has turned the people of Chang'an into an unreliable ranks.

"We don't need them, we'll deliver them ourselves."

Tamara, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Tamara is right, we'll deliver it ourselves."

Baochai's expression was still so calm.

"Now Miaoyu has a company, Tamara has a company, Qingwen has brought more than 20 people, plus ourselves and our own soldiers, there are also more than 200 people. We have sophisticated firearms, and there will be no opponents along the way. ”

"If the general trend is today, it is all related to the battle of the fourth brother in the Mogu grassland. If this battle is won, Fourth Brother Min will be invincible in the world. If we lose this battle, I am afraid that even we will not be able to return to Beihai. ”

"At this time, Fourth Brother Min is fighting alone there, and no one else can count on it at all, so we can only rely on ourselves. If we don't go, can we count on others? ”

"Jiao Li, Liu Cheng, Mr. Dai, what do you think?"

"Miss Xue is right, I estimate that Chief Min's ammunition should be almost exhausted, and it should be replenished at this time. Miss Xue understands the righteousness, and Dai admires it. ”

"Mr. Dai is polite, and since that is the case, he will send these vehicles back tomorrow. You raise the carts and horses, load the ammunition, guns, and field artillery you brought this time, plus the inventory you have here, and we will set off the day after tomorrow. You see, is it good to deal with it like this? ”

"Okay, that's it."

Miaoyu said without thinking.

"yes, that's it, you don't have to watch them get angry here."

Qingwen also came out in time to express her position, unwilling to let people ignore her existence.

"Jiao Li, Liu Cheng, tomorrow's matter, please leave it to the two of you."

"Miss Xue, don't worry, this is our business, and it must be done."

Jiao Li and Liu Cheng have long had this intention, and now that they see Baochai as the master, they naturally strongly agree.

"Did you report this matter to Chang'an?"

Xichun raised this question, and everyone looked at Baochai again.

Although such a thing happened at this time, Beihai was still allied with Chang'an at this time.

Chang'an's marriage to Jia Min is also very delicate. Xichun raised this question, which is actually very reasonable.

It was they who asked Chang'an to send people to the Mogu Grassland to deliver ammunition, which was also a completely legitimate request.

Baochai pondered for a moment, and then said something surprising unhurriedly.

"This is our own business in Beihai, so we don't need to trouble others. Daiyu, Xichun, Jiao Li, Liu Cheng, you also follow us. We are all members of the Jia family, born, and with Fourth Brother Min. died, and was also with Fourth Brother Min. ”

"Mr. Dai, from tomorrow, the ammunition factory will stop production. If anything happens to us, you will destroy the ammunition factory, and the secret recipe of the craft here cannot be left for outsiders. This matter is up to me, and if there is any right or wrong in the future, I will bear it with all my might. Let's all disperse, go back and rest, and leave on time the day after tomorrow. Hopefully we'll be in time. ”

Baochai and the others came, and the girls had a lot to say. It's just that it's too late, and I'm tired all the way, I can't bear to disturb it anymore, so I went back to rest one after another.

Baochai lay down under Ying'er's service, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. Thinking about these things, my thoughts are numb. It wasn't until the rooster crowed that he fell asleep in a daze.
