With the arrival of spring, the snow and ice begin to melt.

In this season of recovery, you can finally see a little bit of greenery.

On the birch branches on both sides of the road, green shoots began to emerge, but Zhao Hongyu was not interested in this at all.

"It's better to be in modern society, why are you saying that the road of this era is so difficult?"

At this time, Zhao Hongyu was constantly complaining to the people around him.

Yes, the roads of this era are not as smooth as the concrete highways of the modern era of another time and space. Because of the arrival of spring, the very solid road, which was originally frozen by the cold, has become very muddy.

Zhao Hongyu took Jay Chou's army of 25,000, and on the way to Liaodong, he thoroughly appreciated the road characteristics of this era.

It is very difficult for even war horses to walk on such muddy roads, let alone people.

The artillery in the army is even more difficult to march.

Even if Zhao Hongyu had made complete preparations and bought a large number of mules and horses, it would be to no avail.

Isn't it, of the hundreds of artillery pieces in the center of the army, dozens of them have already fallen into the mud.

This greatly delayed the speed of the march of the army.

But in this regard, Zhao Hongyu really has no other way to solve it except complaining.

Jay Chou followed Zhao Hongyu's side, with a look of deep approval on his face.

"Your Highness, this is the seventeenth century after all, and there is nothing we can do not do. Spring pulping situations like those in the north actually happen in another time and space, even during the Republic of China. So, let's just bear with it. ”

After listening to Jay Chou's words, Zhao Hongyu let out a long sigh.

Because what Jay Chou said is also right.

Zhao Hongyu turned his head sideways to look at Jay Chou, with a smile on his face, which made Jay Chou roll his eyes.

Because Jay Chou knows that his own highness. I'm sure I'm going to have to use my name again.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Hongyu opened his mouth, it confirmed Jay Chou's judgment.

"What, Jay, anyway, the army is getting those artillery pieces right now, and it's not very fast. Take advantage of this effort, you sing a song for all of us to ride Li Xiang...... Oh no, it's Qilixiangbei. ”

Jay Chou pretended not to hear Zhao Hongyu's words, but the surrounding soldiers and guards couldn't help laughing one by one.

Yes, after the siege of the Kyoshi is lifted. Jay Chou met Zhao Hongyu.

When Zhao Hongyu listened to Jay Chou's introduction, he was immediately shocked by his name.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu has nothing to do, and he will always make fun of Jay Chou.

Fortunately, Jay Chou is also a genetic person with a modern mindset, and he doesn't care about such jokes at all.

If you are a person of this era, if you don't do this well, it will make people rebel.

"Your Highness, although my name is Jay Chou, I can tell you for sure. I'm not a star on another plane. ”

Jay Chou, who pretended not to hear Zhao Hongyu's ridicule, looked at it with the corner of his eye and found that Zhao Hongyu did not let go of himself, so he had no choice but to take over the words.

But. He didn't sing any Qili incense, but explained to Zhao Hongyu again with a smile.

"Ha ha, just kidding, I just thought of your name. I always think of that guy from another plane. ”

Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou joked not once or twice, and Jay Chou really couldn't cry or laugh at this.

Seriously, he has such a name that sometimes really bothers him.

But the name. It's not what he wants to have, the names that Zhao Hongyu automatically generated when he cultivated them, there is no way to do it.

You know, on the side of Kyushu, there is another guy named Huang Xiaoming.

"A few of you, transfer another team to help the artillerymen. We are now very close to Datong, and we can reach Datong with more effort, if we always delay time like this, how long will it take us to reach Shanhaiguan. ”

Jay changed the subject.

The reason why Jay Chou said that he arrived at Shanhaiguan was because the city and land that Zhu Shangwu took out as a mortgage were located in a place called Jincheng outside Shanhaiguan.

This place is very close to Shengjing in Houjin and can be said to be a special place.

Originally, this place had been abandoned by Daming.

However, it is now being used as collateral.

In this regard, Zhao Hongyu will not care at that time.

Because of the special geographical location of Jincheng, it is located on the border of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo and the Later Jin Kingdoms, and was abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, so it has become a place for a period of time.

The Later Jin had no intention of taking over the area at the moment, and their energies were focused on annexing Eastern Mongolia.

Therefore, the people of Jincheng will have a relatively stable life during this period.

It's just that because it's very close to Shengjing, it's inevitable that he will always be harassed by Houjin Baqi.

Therefore, most of the people of Jincheng have left this place and gone to other cities to earn a living.

And those who stay, because they consider that their land is here, they are reluctant to leave it.

And to arrive in Jincheng, then you must first arrive at Shanhaiguan.

However, Datong was in the northwest of Jingshi, while Jincheng was in the northeast of Jingshi.

However, because he had to go to Datong to receive a team of soldiers and horses to be convicted, he could only receive the mortgage on this premise. Therefore, Zhao Hongyu could only take a long detour and go to Datong first.

In this regard, Jay Chou, as a high-level executive, is very clear.

"Your Highness, then you said that the Ming Imperial Court got such a soldier and horse by our side, in addition to using it to spy on us, would you have any other ideas?"

For example, Sun Chuanting and the Five Hundred Ming Army, as well as the so-called soldiers and horses who were about to receive in Datong, obviously stayed in Jincheng with them and used them to monitor them.

Even idiots can see this.

However, Zhao Hongyu did not refuse.

Because with such a Ming army by his side, it is beneficial for the people of the Ming Dynasty to quickly receive Jincheng and let them return to their hearts in a short time.

Otherwise, you're an outsider. It is very difficult for the people of the Ming Dynasty to accept you.

To know the Tao, the Ming people are also quite repulsive to the outside world.

"Whatever they think, it won't affect us. Did Zhu Shangwu think he could repay the silver within the scheduled time? Joke! Zhao Hongyu smiled evilly. He will only owe more and more silver, so Jincheng is destined to become our base. ”

Jay Chou has no doubt about this.

Just rushing to Daming's current tax income, and wanting to repay the more than 10 million taels of silver he owes now, it is simply a very fatal thing.

And His Royal Highness will definitely continue to dig pits to make the Ming court and the wonderful emperor jump.

So, ah. Jay Chou is convinced of Zhao Hongyu's words.

Zhao Hongyu continued at this time: "And Zhu Shangwu made it clear that Sun Chuanting and the Ming army on Datong's side are mainly to follow us to fight, and we can call at will." With Zhu Shangwu's will, what other big waves do you think they can make? “

Jay Chou's eyes rolled, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, it seems that you have already had a countermeasure in your heart."

Zhao Hongyu nodded.

"With Sun Chuanting and them, it is actually a good thing for us. At that time, the security of Jincheng will be handed over to them. As for the defense of the territory or something, I'll leave it to you, and you don't have to worry about being distracted, right? ”

Yes, Jincheng is too close to Shengjing after all.

From time to time, it will be looted by the Houjin Eight Banner soldiers.

So. After receiving such a mortgage, if you don't want to lose too much, then you must do a good job in defense.

"They have a good plan, and it seems that they want to use us in front. Go and fight with the Houjin Eight Banners. ”

Jay Chou also saw through some of the ways in this.

Listening to Jay Chou's complaints, Zhao Hongyu waved his hand indifferently.

"It's okay, with your 25,000 reinforcements. I don't think there will be any danger in the short term. As long as we arrive in Jincheng, and I am mobilizing a group of reinforcements from Kyushu at that time, then we don't have to worry about Houjin's Eight Banners. ”

In Zhao Hongyu's plan, he planned to transfer troops to Kyushu to increase his strength.

Of course, he couldn't mobilize Imperial soldiers, but he wanted to mobilize a group of Japanese soldiers.

Hey!

Let the Japanese soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers fight to the death, it must be very interesting to think about it.

By this time, the artillery, which had fallen into the mud in the rear, had already been lifted out. The army began to move slowly again, and after Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou got the news, they urged the war horses under their crotches to move with the army.

"Your Highness, the number of imperial soldiers in Kyushu is not very large, if you mobilize too many troops, it will cause Kyushu's defense to be empty, if it is ......"

Although Jay Chou's words were not finished, Zhao Hongyu also understood which aspect of Jay Chou was worried about.

Isn't it just that if Kyushu doesn't have enough troops, it will give the Japanese people a chance to rebel?

After all, for the Japanese people, Zhao Hongyu is considered an aggressor.

Actually, Jay Chou has such worries, and that's because he hasn't been to Kyushu to see the situation there.

If he had gone to Kyushu, he would have been so worried about this.

However, you can't say that Jay Chou's worries are unreasonable.

It's just that Jay Chou doesn't know Zhao Hongyu's true plans.

Therefore, seeing Jay Chou's concern in this regard, Zhao Hongyu felt that it was still necessary for him to explain.

Therefore, as soon as Jay Chou's voice fell, Zhao Hongyu explained: "Jay, I understand what you are worried about. But what I want to mobilize is not the Imperial soldiers, but the conscripted Japanese soldiers. ”

Speaking of his plan, Zhao Hongyu really danced with his eyebrows.

"Think about it, if the Japanese soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers were to die, how much fun it would be......" (To be continued......)
