Chapter 197: Family Reunion

There was no fierce battle in Fuyuan, the imperial army was coming, as long as they were not fools, they knew how to do it, and the Wenxiang disciples were broken into pieces and dispersed in the countryside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this way, Jing Haiwei commanded Chang Runing to retreat from the battle, did not investigate the enemy's situation, and hid the enemy, so that Zhang Keda reprimanded him, and made the other commanders laugh at him, and lost face.

It is said that he is also unlucky enough, Zhao Lie broke hundreds of thousands, and he thought that his more than 1,000 soldiers could also win the battle, but he didn't think that the confluence of the Wenxiang Sect in the two places became a large force of six or seven thousand people, and ambushed the Jinghai Guards in the area near Fuyuan.

Chang Runing's subordinates took over the battle for tea and kung fu, and his subordinate soldiers were crushed by the magic sound of Maitreya descending and invulnerable, with nearly 200 dead and wounded.

Chang Runing remorsefully grabbed his scalp, greedy for merit, too overestimated the combat power of his command, so he had to ask for help, when Zhang Keda led the troops to arrive, he was a tragedy, became the laughing stock of Denglai, hundreds of subordinates broke thousands, and more than 1,000 people were broken by the chaos of his boss, how can he be embarrassed.

Zhang Keda immediately ordered the team to be divided into pieces, entered the countryside to suppress, and killed and captured more than 4,000 people of the Wenxiang Sect in the past month.

Of course, it is certain to kill the good and take the merit, among them, Li Cheng and Xu Tang, the big incense heads of the Wenxiang Sect, were killed, but the so-called great protector Li Shengming disappeared, he was really an old fox, and he had already slipped away when he saw that the situation was not good.

At this point, at the beginning of the second year of Chongzhen, the rebellion of the Denglai Wenxiang Sect was suppressed, and the sect members were either killed or scattered. This is also the norm of this year's Ming Dynasty, since the end of Wanli Ming is the internal and external troubles, wind and rain.

In addition to leaving the Weihai Guards to stay in the local area to prevent resurgence, the other soldiers returned in full gear.

After gathering in Laiyang, Zhang Keda praised Zhao Lie and said that he would report to the imperial court to ask for merit for him.

Chang Runing saw this situation and completely extinguished his mind to deal with Zhao Lie, as long as Zhang Keda was in Denglai for one day. Zhao Lie can't move, after all, Zhang Keda is also the commander of Denglai Dudu, although he doesn't specifically ask about the affairs of the guard, but if Zhao Lie asks him for help, he has the right to ask, Chang Runing doesn't dare to let Zhang Keda pay attention to him at the moment.

It was the middle of February when I returned to the guardhouse. Alexandra put down trivial matters for a few days to accompany Zhao Lie to comfort the pain of lovesickness, Zhao Lie is also deeply sorry, and tries to accompany Alexandra to ride horses as much as possible every day, and improve his riding skills by the way.

At the end of February, Zhao Lie arranged for 5,000 Liao people to go to the Acropolis, led by Zhao Da and Wang Quan, with Zhao Da in charge and Wang Quan in charge of the internal guard. He was really not at ease with Chang Runing.

However, everything went very smoothly, Chang Runing didn't make any moves this time, and the Liao people began to build camps and renovate the city walls, without encountering any obstacles or hidden arrows, which made Zhao Lie secretly wonder, this Chang Runing was too quiet. Could it be that there is another conspiracy that has made Zhao Lie draw his soul for many days.

After returning to Stone Island. Several urgent letters from Jeju have been waiting for a long time,

One is that Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Dao, sent people to ask for help.

Since last year, the Dongjiang, Denglai, and Western Liaoning affairs have been unified under Yuan Chenghuan, the governor of Jiliao, and Mao Wenlong has always been rebellious, and Yuan Chenghuan's edict is also against Yin and Yang, so Yuan Chenghuan cut off the support of the Dongjiang River. Denglai was strictly ordered not to have a grain of grain flowing into the Dongjiang River, and as a result, foreign aid from the Dongjiang River was cut off and grain prices soared.

Mao Wenlong extorted more than 20,000 stone of grain from North Korea, but compared to the hundreds of thousands of Dongjiang soldiers and civilians, nearly 2,000 people died of hunger and cold because of lack of food and clothing. Tens of thousands of people are facing the threat of food shortages and death this spring, no, as soon as the sea opened, Mao Wenlong asked Jeju for help, which was really urgent.

He can't bow his head to Yuan Chenghuan, as long as he bows his head, there will be no semi-independent status of the Dongjiang River in the future, Yuan Chenghuan will definitely step up his control of the Dongjiang River by mixing sand and force Mao Wenlong to submit, which is absolutely unbearable for Mao Wenlong, so the duel between the two big men Tens of millions of fart people became victims.

Zhao Lie is just helpless about this, Dongjiang obeyed Liaoxi's order to join the war, it must have been a heavy number of casualties, Mao Wenlong is certainly not stupid, and Yuan Manzi, who is full of vigor but has limited strategic vision, is not in his heart, the two sides have nothing to do with justice, it is just the normal state of the Ming officialdom battle, but it is very large.

It's just that their attitude towards the people of the Ming Dynasty made Zhao Lie feel cold, the cornerstone of a country is the people, but the two second-class members of the Ming Dynasty regarded the people as pigs and dogs, and the Ming Dynasty was finished.

Zhao Lie's order to Jeju was to ask for food in exchange, and Zhao Lie's current demand for population is of course endless.

Second, the 1,000 soldiers and horses of the 2nd Cavalry on Jeju Island have been prepared and have begun to exercise, and the 1,000 troops of the 1st Cavalry who were transferred from Beihua Island will soon return.

This made Zhao Lie breathe a sigh of relief, the lack of cavalry in the era of cold weapons is like the lack of armored corps in the land war in later generations, there is no bottom in his heart, even if these cavalry personnel have a short training time and their combat power is not strong, they are also cavalry, and they can also complete the purpose of covering the weaknesses on both sides of the infantry phalanx.

Third, the latest batch of 10 500-ton Tang-class warships has been launched, and the sailors have already gone on board for drills, and it is estimated that they will be in force within two or three months.

Zhao Lie's instructions were to slow down the construction of the Tang-class and increase the construction of the 100-ton small Galen and 800-ton Galen warships, which should not be delayed.

Fourth, the Edo shogunate appointed the Dutch to start building the Galen warship, and according to the exploration of the Macao, several small Galen have been launched, and there will be large Galen launched in the future.

This made Zhao Lie extremely vigilant, after all, this is the cooperation of two sea and land powers, and it will definitely pose a huge threat to the Broken Army.

Fifth, due to the expansion of the development of Baekhwa Island and the lack of troops of the Broken Army, Hwang Han suggested that the Koreans on Jeju Island should be armed and formed an auxiliary force to go to Bekhwa Island to fight against the Anui and reduce his own casualties.

However, Ma Tao was very worried, afraid that the North Koreans' lack of combat strength would not be trusted, and it would ruin the good deeds of the adults, while Huang Han thought that the Anui cavalry was not many, and the weapons were poor, so that the North Koreans could practice, anyway, even if the casualties were heavy, it was not the blood of the Ming people. This made Zhao Lie very much agree.

Zhao Lie replied that he would form a Korean infantry army of 3,000 people, and all the thousands of troops would be drawn from the Broken Army, and tell the Korean soldiers that if they killed five Anuyis, they could retire, and they could be allocated 50 acres of land on Beihua Island, which would be tax-free for five years.

Zhao Lie's idea was good, but what he didn't expect was that the North Korean soldiers would uncover the bloody storm in Beihua. This was something he had not expected.

For Beihua Island, Zhao Lie meant to fight steadily and steadily, and strive to open up the North China Plain within two years, so that the Liao people could live and work here in peace and contentment, and the army could also put down this huge burden. As for the island-wide development, that was two years later. It can only be done step by step.

In the end, Zhao Lie ordered the formation of three thousand total infantry teams, which were immediately executed, and it is said that the water infantry army of the broken army has reached the point of one out of ten, fortunately, the Liao people are very young and strong, and they are also barely able to support it.

At the same time, Zhao Lie warned Huang Han to end all the training before the end of September and wait for Shidao to summon him. The Great War is coming.

When the middle of April came, Zhao Haiming, Zhao Qin, Zhao Feng, Zhao Hong, and Zhao E arrived in Shidao to prepare for Zhao Lie's wedding on June 18.

Although Zhao Qin's family has a lot of complaints about Alexandra is a Xiyi person, but she also knows the importance of Francois to Zhao Lie, and she has reluctantly agreed to it, in the past two years, she has not been to Shidao in order to take care of Zhao Haiming's living and the operation of her own grange, and Zhao Lie and Zhao Meng have not seen each other for two years.

Zhao Feng is also seventeen years old this year, and he is also tall and stout. I got into trouble last time, but I was a lot more cautious afterwards.

Zhao E is now fifteen years old, and she is also a big girl. Although he is not white, he is very delicate, and he is still very clingy and affectionate when he sees his eldest brother and second brother. He is still curious about Alexandra, and is always envious of Alexandra's blonde hair and blue eyes.

Zhao Hong is the same age as Zhao Lie this year and is very tall. However, he is a little emaciated, and he has been helping Zhao Qin's family manage the country grange.

This meeting was the first time the mother and son had met in two years, and Zhao Qin saw that his sons had grown up and completely took off their youthful faces.

Through Zhao Haiming, she also knew that her two sons had created a big scene in Shidao, Jeju Island, and Beihua Island, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they laid the foundation and founded the country. At this time, she found that her two sons were majestic and majestic, surrounded by attendants and staff.

She and her two sons have been together for an hour, and three groups of people have come to ask for instructions, and she is both relieved and slightly sad, and the second son is about to start a family, leaving her, and another woman is in charge.

It's just that she is also anxious about Zhao Meng's marriage, Zhao Meng emphasized that Shidao is now the foundation of the Zhao family, and the past two years are particularly critical, and it is not too late for two years to get married, this reason is strong enough, and Zhao Qin's family has to put it down first.

For Alexandra, Zhao Qin still likes it very much, he doesn't have too much scheming, he always has a smiling face, he is extremely kind to the people around him, and he is deeply respected by the servants around him.

Of course, except for her identity as Xiyi, this time Zhao Qin's family prepared a full set of dowry for Alexandra, after all, Alexandra's parents are no longer there, and Zhao Qin's family is in charge of buying everything for him in Dengzhou, jewelry, clothes, makeup, beds, etc.

They are all women, and they can't finish talking about this for three days, Zhao Qin's, Zhao E, Alexandra, and Marta are muttering endlessly in the back house, making all kinds of arrangements for this wedding.

After Zhao Haiming traveled around Shidao, Li Mingyu came to Shidao on this day to visit his old proprietor, which was lively.

"Lord Zhao, Gongzi has created a big scene in Shidao and other places for several years, it is not easy, but after a fierce battle, Lord Zhao has a successor." Li Mingyu complimented.

"Alas, don't hide it from Mr. Li, when I learned that Zhao Lie defeated Jiannu in Tieshan, I was also shocked into a cold sweat," Zhao Haiming shook his head in fear, "The general's brother is not in Liaodong, and he knows the ferocity of Jiannu, this kid also knows this and didn't tell me at all, and God is fortunate to return victorious." ”

"My lord, most of what Gongzi said back then appeared, my Daming turtle retreated in several cities in western Liaoning, Shanxi and Shaanxi civil unrest continued, and even spread to Henan and Hubei, and pirates were rampant in the southeast and west, and my Daming can be described as stormy." Li Mingyu sighed.

"Yes, in the past two years, the ships of the Denglai Navy have been damaged and not filled, and the Navy Master's salary is only distributed by half every year, and the days are also difficult, which shows the difficulties of the imperial court." Zhao Haiming sighed, as the commander of a town, he was also secretly worried, obviously Denglai was tightening the situation because of the ferocity of Jiannu opposite, but he did not repair the armoured boats, indicating that the imperial court's wealth was exhausted and there was nothing to be done.

At this time, it can be seen that Zhao Lie's vision at that time, at this moment, the Zhao family can be regarded as invincible, it can be said that they can sit and watch the changes in the situation, and the confidence is that Zhao Lie opened up the territory of Jeju and Beihua, and there is no need to worry about the future.
