"In this way, Master Bi, after you go back, select a group of core believers, and during this time you will memorize the Bible, and you must memorize it backwards, such as the Gospel of Matthew, you must remember the pages and verses for me......" Yang Bo thought for a while and said: "As long as he can skillfully quote the words of the Bible, then he can already be regarded as a very devout believer." ”

Seeing Bi Fangji frowning, Yang Bo patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "I don't want you to be difficult, and I don't want to get involved in your Catholic and Protestant debates, your church doesn't often say it; What was lost in Europe, can I make up for it overseas? As new capitalist countries, Spain and Portugal were actively colonizing overseas, the Holy See was strongly supportive of their spreading of the Catholic faith abroad, and Alexander VI even allowed the King of Portugal the right to appoint bishops. ”

"Zhixian, it turns out that you are fighting the idea of protecting the clergy?" Bi Fangji was taken aback by Yang Bo's ambitions.

"Why not?"

Yang Bo shrugged: "I am willing to send and receive missionaries, to finance the construction of churches and convents, and to provide missionaries with living allowances, and most importantly, there are more believers in Lushun alone than in the whole of Portugal. ”

Bi Fangji shook his head and said firmly: "I will make a statement to Inspector Fan Li'an and oppose this proposal."

"Why? Aren't we in the same boat? Yang Bo was surprised and asked rhetorically

"Not why. Since I followed you to Shandong Mansion, I am not a devout Catholic," Bi Francis was a little worried

"I think you're doing the right thing. You have been walking on the right path since you came to Shandong Mansion! ”

Yang Bo said with a smile, and accentuated the word "correct".

"It must be said by God, and by you, that means nothing has been said...... Bi Francis sighed and turned away.

"To hell with your God!" Yang Bo coiled his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted in his heart.

Since the Tatars retired from the army. Except for the cavalry battalions in Xiuyan and other areas, which are still in full swing for actual combat training, southern Liaoning has quieted down, and both sides are licking their wounds. Waiting for the next match. Since Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, took office, the Ming Dynasty has also struggled with the domestic bandits, and these rogues are divided into three routes, one of which is Junzhou. to Henan; A crime in Yunyang. to Xichuan; One committed the golden lacquer ping, and crossed the river to commit the south of Shang. Chen Qiyu personally sat in Junzhou, the four governors of Shaanxi Province held a meeting, and Shaanxi practiced state affairs in Shangnan and controlled the northwest; Yunyang Lu Xiangsheng stationed in the house, bamboo, moderation in the northwest; Henan Yuanmo stationed in Lu's and controlled the northeast; Huguang Tanghui was stationed in Nanzhang to curb the southeast. The Ming army won ten battles and ten victories against the Liukou, and nearly 10,000 people were beheaded. With the frequent news of good news, the imperial court's contempt for the rogues rose, and the words "can be annihilated" appeared in the Tang newspaper from time to time......

Only Yang Bo disagrees with this, according to the historical trend, every time these rogues are about to reach the end of the road, the Tatar slaves will enter the customs on time to loot, without the echo of the Tatar slaves, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong These giants have died hundreds of times, Yang Bo even doubts, is it that the Tatar slaves and the rogues have a secret channel to keep in touch? Of course, this assumption needs to be confirmed after the intelligence department grows, Yang Bo hates these rogues very much, their atrocities against ordinary people are more bloody and cruel than the old rulers, their whole mission is only to plunder, they use the means of destroying everything and destroying everything against the old rulers, except for changing the dynasty and becoming rulers themselves, their existence has no positive meaning, and the fools who have been grooming the rogues and constantly falling into the cycle of cyclical expectation, don't they understand, Will an organization established with selfishness as the highest goal actually reap the benefits of sentient beings in the end?

On 18 March, Yang Bo inspected Jinzhou, accompanied by the commanders of the Lushun Civil Affairs and Reserve Battalions.

The Isthmus of Jinzhou is in full swing to engage in the construction of Tunbao, control Phi Island, Yang Bo has fully achieved the strategic advantage of southern Liaoning, the threat of the Ming army from other directions must be considered before the Tarnu troops are dispatched, Yang Bo's next goal is to completely close the Isthmus of Jinzhou, through the continuous tug-of-war of the cavalry battalion, the Tarnu sentinels in Xiuyan and Fuzhou have been unable to gain a foothold near Jinzhou, but the most headache at present is how many soldiers are suitable for Jinzhou, less afraid of not being able to hold it, and more afraid that the slave chieftains will not be able to withdraw when they come out, Yang Bo could only let Liu Dahu lead more than 1,000 people to guard first, and then gradually stationed in Jinzhou after the peasant soldiers were trained.

On the 19th, Yang Bo led everyone to inspect Weifeng Fort......

Tun Chang Hong Sanqiang and instructor Wang Shoucheng respectfully received Yang Bo and his party, Yang Bo chose to inspect the Weifeng Fort for a reason, the Weifeng Fort is quite important, located ten miles west of Jinzhou City, responsible for guarding the west coast of Jinzhou, and monitoring the Fan Mountain.

Yang Bo once passed here when he attacked Jinzhou, it was a very important bridgehead outside the city of Jinzhou, the majestic fort under construction is also different from other tunpu, this tunbao is built on a hill, backed by a tributary of the Yanghe River, the circumference of the tunpu is one mile and three hundred and eighty steps, all covered with bricks, more than 350 people are stationed in the homeless people, one hundred and fifty of them are the reserve soldiers who divided the nearby fields, the fort is equipped with three war horses, fifty flintlock guns, three mortar cannons, other equipment such as armor and shields are standard, in addition there are four piers in the southeast and northwest outside the fortEach pier is equipped with five soldiers, three flint short guns, five crossbows, and a pair of clairvoyants, which are used for daily vigilance.

If the financial resources are sufficient, Yang Bo even wants to build this kind of tunbao all the way to the steppe, which is similar to the tunbao of the border army, and it is also a sharp weapon to deal with those nomads who live in a fixed place on the steppe.

During the war, the fort was held in for reinforcements, and because the fort was also equipped with firearms, it took a lot of effort for the Tatars to conquer these forts one by one. However, the tunpu also has shortcomings, it is easy to be destroyed under the siege of the enemy's superior forces, of course, the tunpu on the isthmus of Jinzhou will not have such hidden dangers, and the people of every ten small tunpu will migrate to a large fort like Weifeng Fort in wartime. Yang Bo will not sit idly by and watch them be trapped without help.

Yang Bo's arrival sparked a warm welcome from the displaced people who were building Tunpu, many of whom were from eastern Liaodong and some from the islands of the Dongjiang River. However, the situation in the fort is not very good, although the tuntian has been divided, and every household has received free seeds and ploughing cattle, but at present the field is only hastily fattened once, and the ploughing cattle are also emaciated......

Yang Bo frowned and listened to the report of the chief officer of the Lushun Logistics Department, and walked towards the fort, because the construction was not long. The fort was full of potholes, some barracks on the roadside had been built, and most of the displaced people had already moved in. Seeing Yang Bo coming, these people all knelt on the side of the road and kowtowed to him.

"This Hong Sanqiang is the first batch of Liao people who took refuge after conquering Jinzhou, and he made a great contribution when recruiting displaced people, so the Tuntian Division appointed him to the post of Tun Chief after assessment......

Yang Bo nodded. glanced at Hong Sanqiang, who was squeezed out of the circle. He asked again: "What about Wang Shoucheng's resume?" ”

"Wang Shoucheng is a Guanglu soldier, he broke his leg when he landed in the Jinzhou Campaign, retired from the army after taking credit, and was responsible for the training of peasants and soldiers in Tunpu and other military aspects on weekdays."

Hearing that the arrangement of the Tuntian Division was in line with the idea of the construction of the Tunpu, Yang Bo nodded with satisfaction, there was a shop in the fort, and several homeless people were queuing up to buy things, so Yang Bo walked over.

These recent homeless people did not know Yang Bo. However, with the exclamations, the displaced people soon realized that it was an adult. So the homeless people who had been queuing up dispersed in a hurry, and they all gathered around with joy and shouted, "My lord, my lord is here!" ”

Yang Bo looked at the simple faces of these people, and said hello excitedly, and quickly pulled up the people who were about to bow down

This kind of small shop is all under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce and Trade, a woman who can keep accounts acts as a shopkeeper, and there is also an older woman who is a salesperson, but there are very few things in the small shop, only some daily necessities such as salt, tea, grain, farm tools, etc., but it seems that the homeless people are very short of money, and most of the people who come to line up are to buy some daily necessities, and other items such as salted fish, eggs and other items are not cared for.

Just when Yang Bo was about to chat with these people to see what difficulties they had, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a cowering figure, this person's gray messy hair was shivering in the cold wind, unlike the other people's faces, this person looked numb and indifferent, his two eyes were just staring at the food on the counter, what made Yang Bo notice him was that he was still dragging a braid behind his head, tied with a straw rope indiscriminately!

Yang Bo's face sank, and soon, everyone around him noticed the abnormality, and there was a dead silence in the shop......

The Displaced Resettlement Division, some of the supervisors of the Tuntian Division were so frightened that their faces turned white at that time, and they hurriedly grabbed Tunchang Hong Sanqiang, and asked why this person had been resettled, but he didn't cut off the pig's tail at the back of his head?

"Your Excellency?" Chief instructor Cui Yong reported with some hesitation

"Tell me, what's going on?" Yang Bo snorted coldly, but he couldn't suppress the raging anger in his heart.

"I asked clearly, this person is Zhao Long's Tartar coat captured by a grain transport team in Xiuyan in February, it seems that he is a slave of a Niu Lu family with a red flag, this person is a little stupid, but he works like a cow and sells his strength, but he refuses to cut his braids, and the people in the Resettlement Department of the displaced people refuse to accept it, but the instructor in charge of the audit saw that he was pitiful, and thought that the adults often said that the refugees in Liaodong are all my compatriots, so I let him settle down first, this is my responsibility......" Cui Yong explained hard,

Yang Bo suddenly sneered and said, "Xiao Wu, you brought him over, I want to ask him"

After a while, two guards brought the coat over.

"Help him cut off his braids" Yang Bo looked at this wrap coldly, and when he heard that his braids were going to be cut, his eyes were terrified, and he struggled desperately.

"No, where does the master come from without braids, how can there be me without the master? Braids, braids can't be cut, sir! This wrapper wept bitterly, and the two strong guards couldn't hold him down.

Yang Bo waved his hand, Xiao Wu, who was holding a sharp dagger, stopped his movements, and when he saw that the adults did not cut their braids, the wrapper was relieved, and he fell on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Let him go back to serve his master!" Yang Bo sighed, and his good mood disappeared suddenly......

The Bao Yi didn't care, and he didn't plead, he just kowtowed deeply to Yang Bo twice, and was soon pushed away by the peasant soldiers in Tunli.

Yang Bo looked at the people who were sincerely frightened, and waved his hand to Cui Yong: "Cui Yong, you go to the Military Discipline Department to get a big mistake yourself, the instructor who is in charge of auditing the homeless people is not suitable to continue, you go and deal with it!" ”

Cui Yong's face was flushed, and he was about to leave, but Yang Bo stopped him again and said: "To let all the instructors understand this truth, it is not terrible to be forced to be a wrapper, because with a heart of resistance, after all, there is still hope to break free, if you find beauty from the life of a slave, and admire and revel in this life, it is a real slave who will never recover, why should this slave rescue him?" Remember this lesson in the future! ”

Seeing that Yang Bo was leaving, Tunchang Hong Sanqiang finally squeezed in and said, "Tunli just killed two sheep, adults stay and eat before leaving?" ”

That night, Yang Bo, who had inspected the defense of Jinzhou, received an urgent report from Lushun, saying that the eldest lady was happy...... (To be continued......)
