Chapter 174: Water Master
Feng Jian finally turned his gaze to the man who was sitting in the chair and looked at him with a smile on his face, he was a little moved, and said in his mouth: "Why is Brother Hu here, it really hurts the little brother." ”
Hu Dadao, who was sitting in the chair, smiled and said: "On your big day, how can I be absent as the eldest brother, besides, the wounds on my body have healed." ”
The front hall of the military palace is noisy and lively, but the back hall is quiet, the ground is covered with a thick carpet, the house is pink, a pair of dragon and phoenix red candles on the wedding table are burning brightly, and the wedding bed where the bride and groom sleep is also dyed a bright red under the pink light.
At this time, there was a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a veil sitting on the top of the bed, and the red hijab was lifted to the side, and the appearance of the phoenix crown was even more beautiful against the background.
According to local customs, after entering the cave room, a Fushou Shuangquan woman knocks the bride's head slightly with a weighing rod, and then picks up the "head cover", which means "satisfactory", which means "please square scarf". The bridegroom sat down and came out.
This woman is the bride Chen Lilan, who is whispering quietly with the little hairpin who is also dressed up on the side, and the little hairpin, as Chen Lilan's personal maid, volunteered to marry over, and the two of them said that their faces were dyed with red.
There are also four or five maids brought from the Zhizhou Mansion to serve in the cave room, and these maids are also clever people, not to visit the situation outside and report to their young lady in time.
Chen Lilan's expression was a little dazed, it was less than half a year since he knew Feng Jiandao got married today, and at first he regarded this man as a bandit and a rogue, but after contact, he gradually found that there were many differences in this person, and he gradually began to be curious about this person. began to inquire about the man's words and deeds, and as a result, he felt more and more that the man was as difficult to understand as a mystery......
remembered that years ago, he took someone to send him back to Pingdu, when he was attacked by bandits in Xiaohuakou. What he said to himself is still in his ears: "As long as I am here." Categorically will not let you be hurt in the slightest! Every time I think of this sentence that is not an oath but is 10,000 times heavier than an oath, not a love word but more touching than a love word, Chen Lilan will think about it for a long time, this is this man's promise!
Suddenly, the little hairpin beside him asked, "Miss, where should you sleep with Feng Jian in the cave room tonight!" ”
Chen Lilan's face flushed again, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Silly girl, go to sleep next to Feng Jian's thigh and warm his bed." ”
At this moment, he was in the official room of Feng Jian in the Huluyan Council Hall. But there was a tear-stained woman sitting at the simple wooden table, and at this moment Yurong was already rolling with tears, but she kept her mouth shut to prevent the grief in her heart from being revealed.
She gently stroked the pair of emerald jade bracelets in her hand, and whispered to herself: "Sister Lilan can help you, but Su'er can also help you!" You said you wouldn't forget Su'er! In the end, Su'er was forgotten, woo! ”
Ming's eyes were dotted with tears, and he hummed softly in his mouth: "To separate, unless heaven and earth do it." To be separated. Unless the East does the West...... You have to share the time, but you can't share me. When I want to leave, I can't leave you. Even if you die in Huangquan, you can't separate the ghosts......"
Singing can no longer hold back the grievances and sorrows in my heart. The girl cried bitterly.
Su Su's mother, who was standing outside the house, couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard her daughter crying mournfully. Hey, Su'er doesn't have the life to be a wife. Then I have to do a side room!
On the eighth day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Feng Jian held a grand wedding again in the garrison mansion! The bride is Feng Jian's first confidante Su Su.
Because Feng Jian had already negotiated with Chen Lilan in advance. And to obtain Chen's understanding, Feng Jian announced in public that Su Su was also his wife.
Got the news. The happiest is the leading figures in the military and political sides of Huluyan, because Su Su was born in Huluyan and has a natural sense of closeness with them, but he has a great sense of distance from Chen Lilan, the daughter.
On the night of the cave room, after Feng Jian peeled Su Su into a little white sheep and conquered several times, he suddenly saw tears rippling in Su Suming's eyes, and couldn't help but panic.
Su Su saw Feng Jian's panicked expression with teary eyes, and couldn't help laughing "poof": "You big villain always bullies Su'er!" Always makes Su'er frightened! ”
Feng Jian blinked and reacted, hugged this beautiful ketone body into his arms with both hands, and said softly: "Master Ben has said a long time ago, I will never forget Baby Su'er, this sentence will not change until death!"
On August 18 of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Pingdu Prefecture Chengnan Jiaolai and governance dredging ended, the dredging and governance of the South Jiaolai River mobilized a total of 10,000 people, starting from the third year of Chongzhen Wax Moon lasted nine months, a total of 53,843 taels of silver were spent, all the silver taels were Feng Jian out.
Pingdu Prefecture invited experienced river officials to carry out a comprehensive planning and dredging of the South Jiaolai Canal, so that the surrounding water system can be connected to divert water from the Jiaolai River and increase the water potential of the Jiaolai Canal. At the same time, nine sluices built during the Jiajing period were re-strengthened and renovated to regulate the water level of the surrounding rivers.
By the time the dredging was completed, the entire Nanjiaolai River had been restored to the scale of the channel during the Jiajing period.
At this time, the bright red gold-edged flag of the Zhenshan Battalion was planted on the north bank of the river, and rows of Zhenshan Battalion soldiers stood neatly under the flag, and the front of the Zhenshan Battalion soldiers was full of major military and political figures of the Zhenshan Battalion and the main officials of Pingdu Prefecture.
Pingdu Zhizhou Chen heard this, Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp garrison Feng Jian, Pingdu Prefecture Tongzhi Fang Zengwei stood almost side by side at the front of the team, their eyes without exception along the Jiaolai River channel towards Jiaozhou Bay.
On the south bank of the Jiaolai River, it is crowded with people who watch the excitement, and I heard that the dredging and storage of the Jiaolai River is over today, and a big ship will come from the Dengzhou Naval Division, and the sea transportation connecting Jiaozhou Bay will be opened.
The people living nearby naturally know how much benefit this sea route will bring to them after the opening of this sea route, and the sea route here was opened a hundred years ago, and the surrounding people will not worry about eating and drinking this sea route. Unfortunately, due to negligent management and repair, this golden waterway gradually silted up and became an abandoned river channel that could not be navigated.
I don't know who in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Look, the ship is coming!" ”
Suddenly, the onlookers erupted in earth-shattering cheers: "The ship is coming!" The South Jiaolai River is open to boating! ”
On the north bank of the Jiaolai River, Feng Jian and others looked at the two flat-headed Dafu boats with sails in the direction of Jiaozhou Bay sailing towards the Jiaolai River.
The Daifuku boat gradually sailed into the course of the Nanjiaolai River, and saw that the speed of the trip slowed down significantly, apparently due to the unfamiliarity with the waters of the first trip.
Looking at the No. 1 Great Fortune Boat coming from afar, Chen Suowen sighed: "Qi Jiguang once told people that the Fortune Boat is as tall as a city, non-human can be driven, all depends on the wind, and the Japanese boat is as short as my small cangboat, so the Fortune Boat is pressed down by the wind, like a car running over a praying mantis, and the fighting boat strength is not fighting manpower." Now that I see the real Dafu ship, I know that what Qi Shaobao said is true! ”
Fang Zengwei, the governor of the state who was standing on the side, was obviously involved in the sailor fortune boat, and he stroked his beard and said: "Yu Dayou recorded in "Recent Matters of Washing the Sea" that the fortune ship is powerful, easy to plow the waves, the bottom tip is wide, the head is high and the tail is high, the draft is one or two zhang, the rudder tower is three, the sail mast is three, and the list is protected by a board. The ship was equipped with 20 Franc machines, 10 bowls, 100 birds, 60 sleeves, 200 rattans, 60 spears, 1,000 dart guns, 100 pairs of iron armor, 100 helmets, and 300 waist knives. ”
Feng Jian said: "According to the establishment of the flood battalion in our state, the battalion water division has two outposts, a total of 510 people, equipped with 10 large, medium and small warships, a total of 4 bow guns, 40 Franc machine guns, 30 bowls and mouth guns, a total of 74 guns, and 510 officers and men of the sailor division on board. In this way, the armament on these two Daifuku ships alone is more than enough. ”
Chen Suowen nodded and said: "This is all up to Governor Sun's care, you only have such a No. 1 Dafu ship in your state flood camp, and Governor Sun will arrive in a while, you have to thank Governor Sun." ”
Feng Jian kept his eyes on the two tall and majestic fortune ships, and secretly pouted: "The little son-in-law naturally knows!" ”
Then he suddenly frowned and said, "What should the officers and soldiers of the sailors on the two Fu ships do?" ”
Chen Suowen was also aware of this problem, and it was obvious that Sun Yuanhua had not explained this problem clearly in advance.
Chen Suowen groaned: "I have to consult the governor to find out about this." If the governor really intends to use these 500 officers and soldiers of the Flood Division as the officers and soldiers of your state flood battalion, then the future food and salary of your state flood camp can only be distributed to the officers and men of the Navy Division! "The implication is that you, Feng Jian's guards, will not be paid.
Feng Jian was not worried about the food and salary of the five hundred water masters, the Zhenshan Camp now had enough grain and grass, how could they take the food and salary of the Zhou Xun Camp in their eyes.
However, the Zhenshan Camp is now short of water masters, and having these five hundred water masters join, it is something that cannot be sought.
Later, he used the South Jiaolai River as a base and gradually expanded his sailor team, so Feng Jian hoped that Sun Yuanhua would leave the officers and soldiers of the sailor division of the two lucky boats.
Feng Jian rubbed his chin and said: "The current state flood camp is equivalent to an empty shell, and the son-in-law hopes that Governor Sun will leave these 500 officers and soldiers of the water division in the state flood camp." ”
All the officials of Pingdu Prefecture, including Chen Suowen, looked at Feng Jian in puzzlement.
In these years, the number of soldiers in his hands means that there is an endless amount of money and food to eat and drink, and only he knows how many soldiers he raises under the general's hands, but he receives military salaries according to the rated number of soldiers. It is common to eat empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers.
Sun Yuanhua generously transferred the two Dafu ships to Feng Jian on the surface, and I am afraid that he also took the opportunity to squeeze out the quota of Feng Jianzhou's Xun Battalion.
Five hundred soldiers, this Feng Jian really doesn't care?
Chen Suowen stared at Feng Jian and said, "What are your plans?" ”
Feng Jian said half-truthfully: "The opening of the Nanjiaolai River shipping route, Pingdu City will soon become a place for the distribution of goods in the surrounding area, and prosperity is just around the corner. The son-in-law decided to ask Governor Sun to bring the lucky boat and the officers and soldiers of the sailor division to stay in the Zhou Xun camp and garrison the Nanjiaolai River! ”
Chen Suowen knew that Feng Jian was a person who had never refused to suffer, and there must be a reason for such a statement this time, so he didn't say much, and turned his head to look at the two Dafu ships that were almost docking. (To be continued......)
