Out of Desheng Gate, the troops marched neatly along the road to Dengzhou. This section of the road is a cement toll road built by Zhu Youcheng and many lords, which is solid and flat, and the horses walk very briskly.

On the road, the toll booths received a notification from the scouts, and learned that the Jinyi Guard army was about to pass Guò, so they quickly moved the fence to make way for the army. This is not because the toll collectors are afraid of Jinyiwei's obscenity, but because at the beginning of the construction of the road, a policy was formulated that the use of the road by the army or during disaster relief was free.

The carriages on the road, whether they were coaches or trucks, saw the army coming, and they drove them aside to make way for the army. Some cargo owners were still afraid that the army would requisition their supplies, so they prepared silver in their pockets, and were ready to bribe the generals who led the team at that time.

Zhu Youcheng saw that Wu Huping had been secretly having fun since he heard the order of Xizhen Fusi to go to Liaodong, and couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked, "Wu Huping, why have you been stealing fun?" You should be going to Kyaw Hwa Island for the first time, do you have any acquaintances on the island? ”

"My lord doesn't know, my father was transferred to Liaodong to Shoujue Huadao a few years ago. Under the mark, you can wear a thousand official uniforms to show off in front of him. In the past, my father always said that if I want to be a thousand households, I have to wait for him to retire, but now I don't have to wait for him to retire. ”

"Your father is Wu Tianmeng, remember that he also has a deputy, what is Feng Yu's, how did they go to Liaodong?"

Seeing that the Thousand Households were peaceful and there was no chance to serve the Ming Dynasty, my father walked through the back door of the left squire of the military department and led the battalion to Liaodong to fight. It's a pity that Liaodong is like a cloud, he couldn't go to the front line, and could only guard the small island in the rear to store supplies. Feng Yu had always had a good relationship with my father, so he went along. ”

There were two kinds of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, one was the Tuntian soldiers. It is the soldiers of the guard, who are soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime, and the other is full-time soldiers, that is, battalion soldiers, recruited before the war. Disbanded after the war. In the late Ming Dynasty, the battalion soldiers gradually replaced the guards and became the main force in battle. Battalion soldiers can be recruited from the civilian population or transferred from the guard. The biggest characteristic of the battalion soldiers is that the recruited soldiers do not change the nature of their household registration, that is, after being disbanded or discharged from the army, what they used to do and what they still do, do not change into military households, so the people are also happy to become battalion soldiers.

Zhu Youcheng sighed. said: "Your father is a soldier who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country." However, what are you talking about, hum, it's just that I'm afraid that your father doesn't understand the rules and breaks the tacit understanding they reached with Jiannu. The reason why the generals of Liaodong guarded Liaodong was purely for Liaodong, and it was more difficult to let them fight than to kill them. ”

Wu Huping also nodded approvingly. said: "If you want to fight Jiannu, you have to rely on our Xizhen Fusi." ”

The army marched on. Along the way, eating and sleeping in the open, it goes without saying that the hard work is self-evident.

The civil officials along the way originally wanted to make things difficult for the generals who passed by, and give the generals a dismount in terms of supplies, showing the fine tradition of the Ming Dynasty to control military force with civilians, but when they saw that it was a brocade guard with golden helmets and golden armor, their legs were first half weak. Looking at the name that came to hand it over, it was written on the "Longtuge University Scholar, Hanlin Academy Bachelor, Daming School of Administration, Daming Military Academy, Daming Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division" and other long list of real titles, his waist was weak, and he nodded and presented the supplies. Because although there are many official titles in the Ming Dynasty, only one or two are real titles, and the others are fictitious titles and honorary titles. Take it out and bluff people, there is nothing to do at all. For example, Dr. Ronglu, Dr. Guanglu, as well as the famous three princes - Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Sangu - young master, young master, Shaobao, the three princes - the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, the prince and the three young princes - the prince and the young master, the prince and the young master, the prince and the young prince, and so on are all false titles. The fierce people who can get a long list of real titles are not something that they can afford to provoke local petty officials, so hurry up and send them to the coil and beat the people who come.

Eighteen days later, the army marched to Denglai, the governor's station, Dengzhou, Shandong (now Penglai, Shandong). Li Hao, the new governor of Denglai, led the civil and military forces out of the city for ten miles to greet him, accompanied by officials such as the prefect of Dengzhou, the prefect of Laizhou, and the general army of Denglai.

Zhu Youcheng stationed a large army outside Dengzhou City, and entered the Yamen of Denglai Governor with six thousand households and a large group of their retinue.

After meeting and being polite, Zhu Youcheng unfolded the secret decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Li Song said: "There are more than 7,000 soldiers on Juehua Island, more than 7,000 merchants, a total of more than 14,000 people, and 80,000 stone of grain, how easy is it to evacuate?" ”

"Jiannu is about to use troops in Liaodong, and this winter is particularly cold, the sea near Juehua Island is frozen, and the island and the big 6 companies are one, there is no danger to defend at all, isn't this sending people and food to Jiannu?"

"Ningyuan is very close to Juehua Island, and Ningyuan City is big, it is more than enough to let go of these 14,000 people, why not retreat to Ningyuan, but retreat to Denglai?"

"You go and tell Yuan Chonghuan, as long as he agrees, I will put all the people and food from Juehua Island into Ningyuan."

Li Song's head shook like a wave drum, and said, "I won't say it, if I want to release him, I will release it a long time ago, and I will wait for me to say." Yuan Chonghuan's temper is stinky and hard, like a stone in a pit, so I don't have to touch the wall. However, didn't Yuan Chonghuan claim to be a soldier? You can't fail to see that. Could it be ......"

Li Song's expression changed, and cold sweat trickled out from his back.

Zhu Youcheng smiled and said, "I didn't say anything." By the way, my people are going to cross the sea to Juehua Island, you can arrange it as much as possible. I remember that when Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai, he built a lot of sea ships, so it shouldn't be a problem to put 5,000 cavalry on Juehua Island at one time. ”

Li Song said with a smile: "My lord should rest for a while on a long march." Come on, let's try Dengzhou's specialties first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow. ”

Zhu Youcheng had been riding a horse for more than half a month, and he was already too tired to be tired, so he nodded when he heard the words, and said: "It's okay, anyway, it will take more than a month for Jiannu to call, and there is still plenty of time, so let's take a day off for the time being." ”

Li Song stood up, and the civil and military forces welcomed them into the living room. In the living room, there was a huge table of eight immortals, on which cups, plates and bowls were ready, and the dishes were steaming. Li Song really had a heart, and he actually calculated the meal time, so that Master Zhu could eat a hot meal as soon as he entered the living room.

The retinue was not left out in the cold, and arranged for a feast in the courtyard.

Dengzhou is a seaside town, so this table of wine and food is mainly seafood, such as shark fin, large yellow croaker, hairtail, grouper, abalone, oysters, lobster, geoduck, and crab. Everything you need, a whole aquarium party.

Li Song raised his glass and said: "There are not many other things in Dengzhou, that is, there are many fish and shrimp, and this thing is expensive to transport to the capital, but the price is much cheaper here, adults try it." This glass of wine. I'll do it first as a respect, please feel free, adults. ”

Zhu Youcheng picked up the wine glass, smelled it, and the fragrance was fragrant, it was indeed a good wine. He put down the cup and said, "Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Si never drinks alcohol, if you have honey water, you can come and serve some." ”

One of the subordinates opened his mouth to say something. Li Song glared at him and said, "The scholar wants to drink honey, you can just look for it, and if you can't find it, you can buy it, I don't believe that Dengzhou Mansion can't even find a little honey." If you can't find it, go to Laizhou Mansion, and if you can't find it, go to Jinan Mansion. Anyway, in a quarter of an hour, I want to see that there must be honey water in front of Master Zhu, and it is thick. ”

Chen Guoqi said with a smile: "Lord Li is so powerful. If you really want to go to Jinan Mansion to buy honey, you can let him fly. I can't fly that fast. ”

Li Song said with a smile: "Where, where." These subordinates are just lazy and unwilling to look for them. Don't scold for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles. How could there be no honey in such a big city as Dengzhou Mansion. If you don't say anything strict, they won't look for it seriously. You don't know. How hard it is to find a faithful servant these days. ”

Sure enough, Li Song's threat had an effect, and another subordinate brought a large pot of honey water. Li Song took the kettle with his own hands and poured a full cup for Zhu Youcheng, Ke Qingqing, Wu Huping, Chen Guoqi, Jiang Ting, Feng Dingbang, and Xu Ning.

Zhu Youcheng noticed that the subordinate who came with honey water was changed, and said with a smile: "It is also common for subordinates to be lazy. However, it is a festive day for Denglai Wenwu to gather together today. The official pleaded for the subordinate, don't punish him. ”

Li Song laughed and said, "The lower officials are the first in benevolence and righteousness, how can they punish the subordinates at will." Since the scholar is not at ease, so let's call the subordinate named Wu Xiaojie to serve the adult. ”

The subordinate who came over with the pot retreated, and after a while, Wu Xiaojie came back in.

He bowed to Zhu Youcheng and said, "Master Xie pleads, the little one will work hard and won't be lazy anymore." ”

Zhu Youcheng saw that there were faint finger marks on his face, his eyes were slightly red, and he sighed secretly in his heart, why do people always have to wait for punishment before repenting. He nodded, ignoring him.

Six thousand households live in 6, where have they eaten seafood, and they don't know how to eat it for a while. For fear of making a joke, they didn't dare to touch the seafood in the shell, so they had to eat the sea fish. After all, although the sea fish has a strange appearance, the structure is similar to that of river fish, and the way to eat it should be the same.

Of course, Zhu Youcheng has never eaten seafood in his life, but he has eaten it in his previous life. Seeing that Ke Qingqing didn't dare to touch those with shells, he only ate some sea fish, and said with a smile: "The autumn is high and refreshing, and the crabs are fat, although the weather is cold this year, the crabs still taste good." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youcheng carefully peeled the crab for Ke Qingqing, dug out the crab roe and put it in her bowl. The other five thousand households knew that they did not have such treatment as Keqingqing, so they could only follow Zhu Youcheng's example and dig out the crab roe and eat it.

Li Songxin said: "Zhu Youcheng really has the demeanor of a celebrity, and he still brings a beauty to the war. However, Jiannu is fierce and brutal, and he has the demeanor of a famous man to die faster. I also heard that their military camp sang songs every night, and it seemed that they brought camp prostitutes, such a merry army, didn't they go to Liaodong to deliver food to people. ”

Li Song was disdainful in his heart, but said with a smile on his lips: "The relationship between the superiors and subordinates of the university scholar is really harmonious, no wonder it only took a little time to get to Dengzhou." As soon as the lower official received the order from the imperial court, you came. ”

Where did Zhu Youcheng know what he was thinking, only when he really admired it, and his mouth was humble again and again.

The other Denglai officials are also old fritters in the officialdom, and they know that the people of Jinyiwei are not easy to mess with, although they despise their loose military discipline, they dare not reprimand. They saw Zhu Youcheng demonstrating how to eat crabs, and they knew that these mainland bigwigs had never eaten seafood, so they demonstrated one after another.

The thousands of households are relieved now, just follow those Denglai officials to eat.

Zhu Youcheng looked funny, and couldn't help but say: "Seeing everyone eating seafood, I can't help but think of a joke." Legend has it that there was an official surnamed Li -- Lord Li didn't mean you. He went to Fanbang and once invited people to eat noodles. Fanren He had seen noodles before, and he didn't know how to eat them, so he agreed that the officials surnamed Li would eat them. The official, surnamed Li, laughed so hard that he sneezed and the noodles squirted out of his nose. Fanren shouted in fright, Master Li eats like this, we can't learn it. ”

The Denglai officials laughed, and the subordinates who served on the side laughed together, and even Wu Xiaojie, who had red eyes, laughed.

Zhu Youcheng used jokes to relieve the ridicule of six thousand households, which doubled everyone's good impression of him.

Suddenly, the general soldier of Denglai sneezed and sneezed. Of course, in the face of a table full of high-ranking officials, he did not dare to be presumptuous, lowered his head, and covered his nose with his hands. When he raised his head and let go of his hand, everyone laughed even louder. It turned out that although there were no noodles on the table, there was shark fin. The shark fin is strip-shaped and cooked soft, like noodles, and as a result, when the general soldier sneezes, somehow, the shark fin comes out of his nostrils.

The general soldier was still unconscious, and he didn't understand why everyone was pointing at his nose and laughing.

Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "The new way of eating is not learnable by the officer." (To be continued!)
