"Lord Shiota, please be seated. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Lie gave up.

Shiota sat on the bench in front of the desk, but he felt a twist, the position in front of the desk had been the same as the position that his subordinates had done when they reported to him, and he only sat in this position when he reported to the family governor Matsumae Gonghiro, and sitting here made him feel that he was not on an equal footing with the other party, and that he was inferior.

"Your Excellency is a Ming general?" Shiota asked, bowing.

"The general's surname is Zhao, and we are from the Luzon Ming Dynasty, who rebelled against the tyranny of the Franz people and became self-reliant, and came here to explore this island." Zhao Lie looked at Yantian and said.

A scribe on the side interpreted.

"This is the discovery and development of my Matsumae family a hundred years ago, and my lord is forcibly occupying it this time." Shiota Qingxi said hurriedly, seeing that the Matsumae family was devouring Ezo land step by step, Fang had some eyebrows, and the Ming people came to snatch it, of course they were angry.

"Isn't it ridiculous that the Ainu came first to pioneer this place, but it became a territory of the Matsumae domain." Zhao Lie knew very well about the shamelessness of the Japanese, and he was not surprised at all. "The Japanese Warring States Dynasty is prevalent, and Lord Shiota should not say some coaxing words, otherwise, Tokugawa will not get rid of the Toyota clan and seize power, and everything is still the king of strength."

Zhao Lie smiled and looked at Yantian Qingxi.

Shiota had a blue and red face, it was really a slap in the face, of course he couldn't refute that Tokugawa was a lower gram, and even the main Matsumae family was also a lower gram.

In fact, it became a trend in Japan in the Warring States Period, how many daimyo were replaced by the old family, and even the Matsumae clan was also established in the Matsumae Domain, or that sentence is still the strength of the king, and if the two battles of Osaka are won by the Toyota clan, the shogunate will be the Toyota shogunate at this time.

That's what Zhao Lie wants. Don't speak in the name of righteousness. Ancient and modern conquests are all battles of strength.

"Lord Zhao. Since the strength is dominant, you are not afraid of the thunderous wrath of the shogunate, which is the direct command of General Tokugawa Iemitsu. "Since Zhao Lie claims to be powerful, Shiota Keiki threatens the shogunate, and this Ming man will not be unaware of the power of the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Lord Shiota, since we came here, we know the power of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, but I am really not afraid to wait." Zhao Lie said with a smile. "After Lord Shiota returns, he can meet with the Governor of the Chen family and report it to the shogunate. Well, that's all for today. Come, send off. ”

Zhao Lie thinks that what needs to be said is finished, and there is no need to waste his tongue.

Yu Dabao stared at a few people with bull's eyes, and his strong figure of one meter nine made several people tremble.

Yantian got up and left the cabin with a black face, Nima, all of them had given an order to evict the passengers, so they had to leave. Today's shame will be rewarded tomorrow.

Shiota rejoiced in the disgraced return of his own ship, and the other party's three huge ships returned. The strange ship crashed behind the fleet, staring at the return of the four ships of the Matsumae Domain.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the ship stopped following, and the fleet came happy and returned in disappointment.

The landscape around Fangmao Port is constantly changing, the green wilderness is covered with gray and yellow earth, and several wide and narrow roads connect the forts, docks, military camps, and refugee camps. The road went deeper and deeper into the interior, and the trees on both sides of the road were cleared.

Fang Shun's family and Lao Yutou's family were drinking delicious fish soup and eating sorghum rice.

"Dad, this fish soup is really fresh, and the fish is so tender." Fang Yuanshan chewed on the rice and whimpered.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Fang Shun scolded his eldest son dissatisfied, the eldest son is eighteen years old this year, and he is still frizzy, but Fang Shun is also extremely guilty about him.

His family is poor, Fang Yuanshan is eighteen years old, and he didn't say anything about his daughter-in-law, so he could only hope to divide the land and buy a house here, and his family situation has improved.

"Dad, Lao Yutou said that there is still meat to eat at night." Sixteen-year-old second son Fang Gaoshan said with a full burp.

This is also a foodie, Fang Shun looked at his second son and sighed helplessly, the only thing that satisfied him was that the two sons were quite strong, in this year, having a good body was stronger than anything else, so Fang Shun was quickly relieved.

Of course, the marriage of his two sons still gave him a great headache.

"It's delicious, I'm full, and I'll have to transport the logs and branches to the dock in the afternoon," Fang Shun put down the finished rice bowl and looked at the gentle slope of the trees that had been cut down, "Tomorrow, I'll have to transfer the field." Farther from here to the port, it must be more tiring than here. ”

The trees on the gentle slopes near the pier have been cut down, and the vegetation that exposes the ground contrasts strongly with the dense trees in the distance.

"Dad, I've been relieved in the past few days, and I'm not as tired as in the first few days. In the first few days, that was ... ”

At the mention of the first few days of logging, Fang Gaoshan grinned.

He didn't do the work of logging, cut down, remove the branches, roll the logs down the mountain, load them on the carriage, unload them after they got to the ground, and return to start over, there was no place on his body that didn't hurt at the end of the day, Fang Gaoshan even woke up in the middle of the night a few times.

Fang Yuanshan was not much stronger than him, in fact, Fang Shun was even worse than them, but Fang Shun gritted his teeth and held on, if even he complained, he was afraid that his son would not be able to persevere.

"Okay, you think the monthly salary is so easy to earn." Fang Shun said that when the dun army said that he would pay one or two a month, but it was only paid for six or seven months a year, how could it be enough for the family to chew grain, and his mother-in-law and two older sons had to work part-time jobs to be able to barely maintain the family.

However, here, last month's salary has been distributed, and the three of them have given three taels of silver, and the two sons have put the silver here to him, all of which are net leftovers, and every day the food and clothes are covered by Lord Zhao.

Fang Shun just hopes to save more silver taels, build a few more rooms after dividing the field, and let the children start a family, his life is enough to wish, this wish is extremely difficult to realize, there are three young men in the family, of course, now this is not hopeful.

The carriage had already arrived, and Fang Shun, as the foreman, called everyone up, and he had to work all afternoon to pick up the end of the place.

Fang Yuanshan, Fang Gaoshan, and two other people used a crowbar to lower a log surrounded by two people down the hillside, and this work had to be skillfully used to follow the mountain's situation.

The most obstructive thing here is to turn over the remaining wooden stakes, most of which have been turned up for winter heating, but also to clean up the wasteland, but it is the remaining stumbling stakes that become the biggest obstacle.

At the bottom of the mountain, several people used crowbars to roll the logs, and when they arrived at the carriage, several people were already out of breath, and after a while, they were panting and several people worked together to load the logs into the carriage.

The carriage was pulled by six Jeju horses, which were small in size and strength, and in the case of Mongolian horses, only four horses were sufficient, but the fact that Jeju horses were shipped in this place has saved a lot of manpower.

Every horse is precious, and people understand that if something goes wrong with the horse, it has to be taken care of by manpower, so the horses are taken care of very well, and there are also reports from the top that the horses are well cared for, and there are rewards, and if the horse is injured, it will be deducted silver, which makes both the groom and the craftsman regard it as a treasure.

After loading the wood into the car, several people returned to the hillside to start the next journey. The shouting on and off the mountain continued, either the mountain was released for everyone to pay attention to, or it was the horn of rolling wood down the mountain, a busy scene.

Zhao Lie looked at several forts with good foundations with satisfaction, as the foundation of Beihua Island, the importance of Fangmao Port is self-evident, and as a support for Beidi, the opponent is even more likely to attack with heavy troops, so the forts here should have the role of shelling on all sides, storing rice and grain, and garrisoning.

Several forts here are built in the style of large fortresses, so it is extremely rapid to build the foundation of the fort today, which is borrowed from the drawings of the Macao fort, otherwise it will take half a year to get to this point today.

For two months, the foundations were finally finished before the onset of winter, and a floor could be built before the onset of winter, and next summer the forts would be completed, at which point they would bleed the attacking enemy. Now, of course, they're still in vain.

"My lord, the fleet has returned." Yu Dabao came to report in a hurry.

Zhao Lie exhaled, he was most afraid of the delay of the fleet, he would not be able to enter Fangmao Port before the arrival of winter, delaying the next step of development, at this time the fleet would arrive, of course, the new Liao people could be familiar with the local environment before the arrival of winter, open up a new camp, and better survive the long winter in the north.

Zhao Lie returned to the trestle, only to see his own ships appear in the bay, two Galen sailing ships Chaohu and Gaoyou Lake were the first to lean on the trestle, and the re-expanded trestle could allow three large Galen merchant ships to be unloaded at the same time, which greatly accelerated the speed of unloading.

It still takes two or three days to unload the fully loaded fleet, mainly the unloading of grain, baggage and horses is the most delayed, and the disembarkation of refugees and soldiers is the fastest, and they are also the first to disembark, so that the follow-up ships can only dock and unload as soon as possible, after all, after twenty days of long-distance shipping, many horses will have big and small problems.

"Your Excellency, my subordinates led the fleet to load logs back to Jeju, and returned with 6,000 refugees, a thousand-man team, 1,000 horses, 30,000 stone of grain and baggage, and I hereby give orders to your lordship." Li Hu landed on the dock and reported to Zhao Lie.

"Commander Li, I'm glad to be miserable." Zhao Lie returned a military salute. "You and the other fleets communicate with the various territories, and you are the greatest contributor to the development of this general."

"Your Excellency is serious, without your adult's strategy, our army would not have the power it has today." Li Hu hurriedly excused himself, he knew in his heart that the army could have today, it was all planned by Zhao Lie, and others were just executed.

"Don't be too modest, without your help, I would have achieved nothing." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"My lord, well, there is news from Shidao that His Majesty has collapsed." Li Hu looked at Zhao Lie and said.

Zhao Lie groaned slightly, "Give the order to mourn." ”

In fact, Zhao Lie knew the news, he just didn't know the specific month.

Li Hu left as ordered.

Zhao Lie looked at the still busy and noisy wharf, but in his mind he thought that the most tragic era of the Ming Dynasty had come, and the drought in Shaanxi had already begun.

Shaanxi is not a major drought, but a civil unrest, which Zhao Lie does not know. (To be continued.) )
