Chapter 292: Return from the Southeast
When Yu Kaiyi and Liu Zheng returned to the river, Zhe Zhongxin was also ready. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This set off overnight, yes, they set off overnight, as the so-called wind is hanging, this is the case.
Although Sun Chuanting was very anxious, he was afraid of falling behind at night, and in addition to the period of the Ming Dynasty, the ancients were relatively deficient in vitamin C, and their night blindness was very common.
Also, Zhu Changxun, Princess Zou, and the prince Zhu Youxiang, after being forced to pour a large amount of sweat medicine by Song Xiance, let the Eagle Eye personnel of Luoyang Mansion take care of them in an inn in Luanchuan County.
When waiting for the three-day limitation of Meng's sweat medicine to end, I don't know at night, and the ghost doesn't feel that it will be discarded on the street, and then write "Daming Fu Wang Ye Zhu Changxun", it is estimated that the night patrol personnel on the street will send them to the county office, and the eagle-eyed personnel will also get out smoothly.
At this time, Yu Kaiyi, Zhi Zhongxin, and Liu Zheng were respectively in the bow of the boat, blowing a little cold spring breeze, and the three began to chat.
When the boat traveled from Xiangyang along the waterway of the Han River to Gucheng County, it was already late at night, and all the Fubo team members, as well as the security team members of Xiangyang City, were already in two shifts, one during the day and one at night.
Now in Gucheng County, all the people are eating on the boat on the fire, and what they eat is basically pork, and it is fat.
The fat pork is roasted in an iron pot, and the lard comes out of the room, so the cabbage, tofu, radish, and kelp are stewed in a messy pork cube, and the aroma is overflowing.
The water for the stew comes directly from the Han River, and at this time, the water of the Han River is very clear and there is no pollution at all, so the water is directly drawn from the river and drunk directly.
The boat was still heading west, slowly heading towards the mouth of the Danjiang River, and although it sailed at night, it was only half sail.
By the time dawn comes, we will reach the mouth of the Danjiang River.
Okay, at the mouth of the Danjiang River, the Qinglong Army and the Fubo Naval Division converge here.
According to the previous fast Malay report, Sun Chuanting has arrived in Xichuan County, and now he is in Danjiangkou for an hour, at most an hour.
Anyway, everyone also sailed all night, besides, Yu Kaiyi also has self-confidence, his own Fubo army, among all the inland river divisions in the Ming Dynasty, is definitely the best, and he is not afraid to wait for an hour, besides, the three of Fuwang are still in a coma, and there is no sailor in their hands, the overlord of the Han River, except for Zhu Changhao, who else is the sailor.
The sun came out, the morning glow was overwhelming, the surface of the estuary of the Danjiang River, the blue waves were sparkling, the water was rippling, Zhi Zhongxin, Yu Kaiyi, Liu Zheng looked at the river surface full of red light, and was in a good mood.
Sun Chuanting saw that it was dawn, and without saying a word, he ran directly towards the mouth of the Danjiang River, because Sun Chuanting knew that after a while, he would also take a boat, and Yu Kaiyi and them would go to Yun County and Baihe County, and then meet with the prince in Ankang.
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a large number of boats were already on the dock at the mouth of the river, lined up, waiting for Sun Chuanting and them to board the boat.
At the beginning of the morning, that is, at seven o'clock in the morning, Sun Chuanting and Song Xiance had arrived, and the five of them gathered together to load the gold, silver, jewelry, and antique documents on the ship.
The carriages used for escort, as well as the horses used by the cavalry, were sent to Xiangyang by Zhe Zhongxin.
The five of them set up a table in the cabin and began to talk freely about the war situation along the way, in short, there was basically no danger.
While sailing and eating and drinking here, over there, Zhu Changhao has already arrived at the Liushuping Black Wood Forest Mining Area in Luoyang County.
In the mining area, the three masters and more than 200 soap workers, in these four months, although they did not live freely, they lived very full.
Every morning after eating, the mining begins, and at noon, the mine will bring food, pancakes and fatty pieces, and even tea leaves, although it is brick tea foam, but it is not bad.
They mine for six hours a day, and they sleep after eating, so they have big shoulders and round waists, and their faces are full of red light, and the most important thing is that they have not slept with women in the past four months, and they are full of energy, and even the three weak masters have become a little strong now.
Zhu Changhao is very satisfied with this, he does not have the habit of abusing people, he thinks, "instead of abusing them, causing them to work passively and starving, it is better to let them eat and work actively."
Now, the supervisor of the Liushuping Iron Mine has given these people a hope, digging a basket of ore and giving them a penny.
If you carry more than 30 baskets a day, you will be given 2 cents each time.
According to the statistics of the mine supervisor, on this day, a person is about 50 memorizations at most, and 100 Wen at most.
One hundred wen a day, and ten days are only one thousand wen. But if you carry more than 50 baskets every day and can't last 10 days, the person will be wasted.
This is like a man, who is addicted to doing "that thing", singing every night, without abstinence, that can't do it for ten days and half a month, and he will definitely die of exhaustion, and he will die of deprivation. Therefore, there is in the "Neijing" that for men of appropriate age, at thirty-six hours, the kidney and yang can be full.
These two hundred and sixteen people, when they were eating at noon, suddenly found that there was Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, who decided the future of his life and the future, and fabricated the handle.
Two hundred and sixteen people stopped the dishes and chopsticks in unison and were silent.
I even forgot to kneel down to say hello to Zhu Changhao, or the master was shrewd, and after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly put down the bowl, burst into tears, knelt down and said, "Lord Chitose, beg the prince to forgive us, return our loan and mortgage documents to us, we know it's wrong, it's really wrong......"
The master's kowtow and begging for mercy also woke up many soap officials who were still stunned, they kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept saying, "Lord, please, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a wife and children, I don't know what they are like, I beg the prince to let us go back." ”
"And how old are you?"
"Back to the prince, the younger one is double ten years old this year."
"Oh, did your parents give birth to you when they were sixty years old?"
"Uh...... The prince spares his life! ”
"Don't say that you don't spare your life, I know you are homesick, so let's do it, this king decides, as long as you work for three years, this king will let you go home, and when the time comes, even your loan and mortgage documents will be returned to you."
"Thank you, thank you..."
After reading these miners, Zhu Changhao took a look at the iron-making place, and his heart was cold all of a sudden, what iron-making is, it is a few blacksmith stoves, earthen stove crucibles, and the pig iron smelted every day is more than 300 catties, when is this a head.
Zhu Changhao very much hopes that Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng will come to help, after all, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were two giants in the scientific world, and people called them "Southern Xu and Northern Kings", Southern Xu is Xu Guangqi, and Northern King is Wang Zheng.
After reading these ores, Zhu Changhao went back from the Jialing River directly by boat, and then abandoned the boat at the mouth of the two rivers and landed on the shore, galloped fast, and finally arrived at the Han River.
Eight hundred personal guards, under the leadership of Zhu Changhao, are no longer seasick, and it can be said that they have become the prototype of the Marine Corps.
Sea and land go hand in hand, riding horses on land, and boating in the water, this is an amphibious combat member.
Sun Chuanting and Yu Kaiyi, thousands of miles away, have already arrived in Baihe County.
On the Huanglong Beach in Baihe County, there is the Baihe Inspection Department placed by Zhu Changhao, and now the inspection is the company commander, Zhao Yuanyi, the deputy company commander Bian Shanhu, and the military justice chief Wang Can.
In the past, a company of people, who had taken refuge on Huanglong Beach, and all the poor people in the surrounding area, joined the Baihe Inspection Division.
Now there are 3,000 people in this inspection department, and according to Zhu Changhao's army establishment, this is already the size of a brigade.
Sun Chuanting saw that the Anmin team members he brought at the beginning already had 3,000 people, and when he thought of the Qinglong Army he led, there were only 1,500 people now.
How aggrieved you are in your heart.
Just when the five of them were chatting with Zhao Yuanyi and the three of them from the Baihe Inspection Division, he asked for some food for them.
Due to Zhu Changhao's order, after the convergence, everything must be subject to Sun Chuanting, and he still needs to make decisions about this batch of grain.
Sun Chuanting thought for a while, "Although this inspection department is directly under the management of the palace, however, these more than 3,000 people are indeed not enough to eat, since there are more than 5 million catties of grain, then give 100,000 catties of grain, and you can definitely harvest wheat." ”
"That's it, Company Commander Zhao, I will give you 100,000 catties of food to solve your urgent needs for the time being, but you must vigorously develop and don't live up to the expectations of the prince."
"Yes, General Xie, the little one obeys the order."
Baihe County will have loose grain, and you can go to Xunyang County tomorrow, and after Xunyang County, you will be healthy, that is to say, in more than one day, you can meet the prince.
"I don't know if the prince can get to Ankang on time?" Song Xiance muttered to himself in his heart.
Zhu Changhao is now in Shiquan County, all the way over, Zhu Changhao's eyes are not only not encountered robbers all the way to work, but the people who are full of vegetables see that the harvest on the mountain has been out of harvest this year.
The winter wheat in Yangxian County and Xixiang County is only as tall as a calf, and the wheat seedlings are yellow, and there is a lack of water at a glance.
But the water level is dropping, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the irrigation canal will be dug deep again.
"Alas, grain still has to be introduced, then the only way to open up the Xiangjiang River waterway, take the Ling Canal, the Li River, and import grain from Annam and Siam. In addition, the immigration plan has also been implemented in advance. It is estimated that half of the grain transported from King Fu this time will be used to settle the immigrants. Next, the sailor is used to escort the grain transportation team, and the Yangtze River, Xiangjiang River, Li River and other waterways still need to be opened, and it is estimated that there will be bloody battles. ”
Two days passed, and on the dock of the Ankang Inspection Division, Zhu Changhao finally ushered in Sun Chuanting and them.
At the reception banquet, Sun Chuanting reported the harvest in front of everyone, and Zhu Changhao smiled from ear to ear after listening to it.
Just after the reception banquet, Zhu Changhao was still smiling when he slept at night. When he got up the next day, Zhu Changhao found that his face was stiff, and he called a basin of water to take a look, "Damn, this king's face is swollen with a happy smile!" ”
