One day in the early winter of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the weather in Shidao was good, the blue sky and white clouds were breezy, and the waves on the seaside were not big. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Lie and Li Lin walked on the seashore of the military port, they came to see the scenery of the seaside, in fact, the main reason was to hide and relax.

Five days ago, they just became relatives, this wedding was not publicized, that is, very few circles knew, under the auspices of both parents, and with the participation of some of Zhao Lie's descendants, the two got married.

Li Lin has since become Zhao Lie's side room, and she is not dissatisfied with this, of course, Li Mingyu and his wife are still somewhat emotional, even Li Lin's two brothers also have a lot of complaints, but this is Li Lin's idea.

Three days after their marriage, Zhao Meng's wife gave birth to a boy of more than seven pounds, which made the Zhao family happy.

Zhao Lie's marriage is small-scale, and the birth of Zhao Meng's son-in-law is a well-known thing in Shidao, so officials at all levels in the barracks, official offices, shipyards, iron factories, and refugee camps all went to Daoxi one after another, which made the Zhao family extremely busy.

Zhao Lie couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he went to the beach with Li Lin, as a newlywed Yan'er, it was nothing.

The problem is that if the topic of the two is heard by others, their jaws will drop.

"Master, most of the acres of land in Denglai Dusi have been harvested this year, and this year is also considered to be smooth, except for more than 1,000 acres of fields in Chengshanwei, where seawater has been poured into the harvest, and the other fields are all harvested."

Li Lin came gently, she walked half a step behind Zhao Lie's side, while looking at Zhao Lie's side face, sometimes indulged in it, newly married for a few days, Zhao Lie's gentleness and thoughtfulness touched her the most, so she was always glad that she insisted on it for several years, otherwise she would have missed the Ruyi husband.

"Today, the vast majority of military households have money and food. The most important thing is that they are all grateful to their husbands. There is no husband. There is no way that they will have food and clothing without worry. ”

When Li Lin said this, he looked at Zhao Lie with adoring eyes, it was this outsider's so-called vulgar martial artist who made tens of thousands of military households and more than 100,000 families live a good life without food and clothing, and could make the so-called scholars and ministers ashamed.

"It's a pity that there are too few people rescued," Zhao Lie said with emotion, compared to the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, these Dingkou's food and clothing are too small.

"That's a lot, and there's also the direction of North China. More than 100,000 refugees have entered Beihua for more than a year, and now there are only more than 100,000 refugees stranded in Shidao. ”

Li Lin lost her mind for a while, she couldn't help but think of the chaotic Denglai when Kong Youde rebelled, at that time she didn't know the strength of the Broken Army, and she was often afraid that tens of thousands of rebels rushed to Shidao, after all, she was clear about the grievances between Kong Youde and Zhao Lie, and even dreamed once. She also dreamed of Zhao Lie's defeat, and she cried for a long time after waking up.

But she never expected that Zhao Lie would lead thousands of soldiers to destroy Kong Youde's 100,000 rebels in several battles. The recovery of Jiancheng Dengzhou, what a hero, this also gave millions of refugees a way to live, those who had acres of land could return to their hometowns, and many of those who did not have acres of land were dragged to Shidao and finally went to Beihua.

The husband can be described as a great hero with countless living people, thinking of this, Li Lin couldn't help but shake his head slightly, it was very unbearable.

Zhao Lie looked back and saw that it was the scene of the beauty who was in a trance, and couldn't help but smile and admire.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind them, breaking the peace of the two.

Li Lin woke up suddenly, saw Zhao Lie's smiling eyes, couldn't help but blush his cheeks, and hurriedly turned around shyly.

"Lord Bing, Lord Li Hu of Jeju has just arrived at the military port, and he has an urgent matter to ask for an adult," Zhao Dayu reported.

Well, didn't this Li Hu lead the main force of the Jeju Naval Division to attack the main force of the Shogunate Naval Division, how did he come here in person, did he lose this battle.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lie's heart sank, the sailor division is more important to the Broken Army than the infantry team in a sense, it is a bridge connecting the three places of Shidao in Jeju in North China, once it is lost, the flow of the Broken Army will be completely gone, and the three will fight separately.

Zhao Lie waved his hand, "Let him come immediately." ”

Li Lin, who is already very familiar with Zhao Lie now, knew that the situation was different when she saw Zhao Lie's expression, she just walked over and quietly supported Zhao Lie's arm.

Zhao Lie patted her jade arm gently, indicating that it was okay, but in fact, she was still a little anxious in her heart.

At meal time, Li Hu walked from a distance with his whole body draped, more than ten steps away, Li Hu fell to his knees with an ordinary sound, and claimed to be guilty.

"Li Hu, Ben will ask you, did the Jeju Sailor lose?" Zhao Lie said sharply.

At this time, Zhao Lie was extremely anxious, Li Hu's posture and professed guilt, did Zhao Lie's mood sink to the bottom, after all, if eight years of hard work were lost, Zhao Lie didn't know when he would be able to rebuild such a powerful fleet, which was piled up with countless silver coins.

"No, no," Li Hu saw Zhao Lie's expression, and immediately understood, Lord Zhao may have thought badly, and hurriedly explained, "The Jeju Navy Division defeated the Shogunate Navy Division in the waters south of the Choshu Domain a month ago, destroyed more than 200 enemy ships, captured 15 ships, and killed more than 10,000 Shogunate Sailors, a great victory." ”

Damn, Zhao Lie pointed at Li Hu angrily, you, you, you, you said that you are also a veteran in your thirties, look at what you have done, "Since it is a great victory, why do you claim to be guilty." ”

Zhao Lie was really a little dissatisfied at this time.

"My lord, although this battle is a great victory, the Jeju Navy Division lost thirteen patrol ships, four Han-class warships, killed more than 300 people, and injured more than 600 people. Li Hu slammed his head three times and fell to the ground.

Zhao Lie heard this, if he wanted to completely annihilate the shogunate sailors, or the shogunate sailors with sixty or seventy Galen warships, it was impossible not to pay the price, and he could accept these.

Li Hu couldn't accept it, so he came to ask for guilt.

Zhao Lie stepped forward and helped Li Hu up, only to see that Li Hu's forehead was covered with grit and had some scratches, but fortunately it was a beach here, so it was fine.

"This time, you Li Hu is facing dozens of Galen battleships of the shogunate sailors, not the last time they are all vulnerable warships of the house ship and the Guan ship, you can annihilate the enemy as soon as possible, count it as your first merit, although the battleship has suffered a lot of losses, fortunately, there are not many casualties, it will be regarded as a big victory, you Li Hu as the main general of this battle, should be the first meritorious." Zhao Liewen comforted.

Li Hu had tears in his eyes, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, ,,," choked up for a while, and he was also extremely distressed these days.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about how much money you squeezed out of the Japanese people." Zhao Lie changed the subject.

"My lord, my subordinates discussed for a long time with Sakai Tadashi, the elder of the Tokugawa shogunate of the Wakuni country, and finally settled on 700,000 taels of silver, as your lord said, to be paid in three years, the first year of 350,000 has been paid, and the next two years are 200,000 and 150,000 taels of silver respectively." Speaking of this, Li Hu smiled slightly, after all, this is a matter of the morale of the big tent army.

"Yes, haha, it's really good, at least the tax for the Coast Patrol is there for a year. It's just Li Hu, do you think the Japanese will be able to repay it next year and the year after next? Zhao Lie looked at Li Hu with a smile.

At this time, our fleet bombarded Edo Castle in Edo Bay, which was the town of the shogun, and if this continued, the Tokugawa family was afraid of losing face, so they succumbed, but after our fleet left, if it built a fort or blocked Edo Bay, I was afraid that it would 。。。。。." Li Hu said this, hesitating, after all, Zhao Lie's correctness was still deeply rooted in his heart.

"Li Hu, you're right, the Japanese are so ambitious that they are likely to be treacherous, not to mention that this is a secret agreement, and the Tokugawa shogunate will never publicize it, and even deny paying the money." Zhao Lie sneered, there will be many treacherous things about the Japanese nation in later generations.

"So, isn't it... Li Hu was puzzled, he actually had some doubts about installment payments, because of the temperament of the Japanese people.

"Hmph, this general just hopes that it will be treacherous, otherwise how can our army have an excuse to attack the Japanese State again, as long as the Japanese State closes itself to the country for a day, our army will not give up the crusade against the Japanese State, of course, the reason for sending troops must be carefully discussed."

Zhao Lie dotted the East,

"Moreover, a unified Wa State is not in the interests of our army, there should be other forces in this state, and it is better for Kyushu and Shikoku to be separated, this is the best Wa State, and we can sleep in peace."

Li Hu listened to Zhao Lie's words dumbfounded, his heart was churning, my lord is how much resentment he has against the Wa State, and he doesn't know how the Wa State provoked the adult, my lord This is the trend of being a heavy hand on the Wa State, but Li Hu is secretly happy in his heart, the Jeju Sailor will be promising.

Otherwise, after the complete annihilation of the shogunate's sailors, Li Hu looked around, quite invincible.

"Li Hu, you rest for a few days, return to Jeju after consulting with Li Meng, Tang Xianwen and others, register the soldiers who died in the battle, move into the Martyrs' Shrine, and leave nothing missing, comfort the wounded and sick, and give them no shortage of pensions, and tell the generals and appeasements at all levels that if there are mistakes or omissions, the military law is ruthless."

Thinking of so many casualties, Zhao Lie was also distressed, this was the biggest loss since the formation of the Naval Division of the Broken Army.

Li Hu was gloomy, the reason why he insisted on coming to ask for the guilt in person was because this time it was indeed a bit miserable, which made him feel a little shameless to see Jiangdong's father.

"Okay, Ben General didn't blame you and the other generals, he was able to completely annihilate the Shogunate's sailors, smash the Yellow Dragon, and remove the biggest enemy around Jeju, and the sailors could be regarded as a complete victory, and these casualties were inevitable."

Zhao Lie comforted him a few words,

"As for these casualties caused by the Japanese people, I can't wait, don't worry, the Japanese people won't let me wait too long."

Li Hu took a deep look, "Don't worry, my sailor will not forget these fallen brothers, and he will definitely double his service to the Japanese people next time." ”

"Du Li, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Lie suddenly turned to the rear, Du Li came quietly, and saw that Zhao Lie and Li Hu were talking, and he wanted to come to Jeju Naval Master Town Li Hu must have something important to do in person, although he also had something important, he had to wait for a while, just waiting.

"My lord, a letter from the Liaonan Heron." Du Li approached and whispered.

Zhao Lie's heart moved, it seemed that there was something urgent. (To be continued.) )
