Chapter 534: Labor Expedition

There was a strange sound in the back room in the blue sky, like a cat whimpering. The two maids guarding the door of the hospital listened carefully, each showed a strange expression on their faces, made the same action, and put their legs together. The housewife here is good at everything, but this yard lacks yang energy, how long has it been since she moved here, and I haven't seen the male owner here. I finally saw it, and the accident came from a big one. "No wonder the officials in the town have to bow their heads when they see their wives, and the emotional master is a capable person."

"Isn't it? I've never seen such a magnificent carriage, and there are very few carriages in this realm, and even fewer can ride in a carriage. ”

The big man's side is really not suitable for raising horses, but there are a lot of cattle in raising. Most of them are ox carts or wheelbarrows pushed by people. The four-wheeled carriage in this place belongs to the luxury of having status and status to sit on.

"Come in." Nearly an hour later, a lazy voice came from inside, with an indescribable satisfaction in his tone. Pushing open the courtyard door and coming in, opening the screen door at the door, the housewife was still bare-shouldered, and she was putting a bag on her body, a huge ball of meat, jumping up and down. There was a man lying on the bamboo bed, and the maid could only see the back. They all entered this courtyard later, and they didn't know Chen Xie. In the past, those maids and red ladies were all lost in Tamsui Town.

The hot water was ready-made, and it was carried in with a bucket and poured into the large bathtub behind, and a set of utensils were prepared, and the two of them withdrew, and when they brought the door, they looked at the clothes that had fallen on the ground, and their faces were so red that they couldn't see anyone, and they ran out quickly.

Soaking in hot water, she was relaxed and wanted to doze off, and the red lady sitting on the side wiped her back with a gourd pulp, and whispered in her mouth: "How long can you stay this time?" It's not the right time for you to come. The menstrual affair has just passed, and I'm afraid I won't be able to conceive it again. ”

Chen Xie squinted his eyes, enjoyed the scrubbing from behind, and replied without a word: "It's hard to say, the expedition of thousands of miles is still by sea." There are no small variables in a qiē. Fortunately, there are not many typhoons in this season, otherwise it is really hard to say. Anything can happen above the sea. ”

"What's so good about that place? Do you have to fight down? "The red lady complained very unhappily, in her opinion, the big man is already poor enough in the countryside, and he can't compare with any small city in the mainland." In the woman's opinion, the population base of the Ming Dynasty is there. As long as there is a bite to eat, the medical and health propaganda can keep up, at most 50 years. The population can be doubled. How can that little land in the country feed so many people? Besides, although the South Seas are remote, the land is fertile and rich in minerals such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and sulfur. The future of the Ming Dynasty is not on the mainland, but on the sea. The geographical location of the Ming Dynasty determines that these places must be captured. Tong guò immigrants became part of the territory. Otherwise, wait until 200 years from now. It's hard for us to go to sea. ”

"I'm a woman, how can I think so far? Not to mention 200 years, even 20 years from now, I won't think about it. "Even if the red lady doesn't understand this, she is very willing to listen to Chen Xie say this. I think this man is so powerful, he can think of things in two hundred years. Could it be that he is the kind of person who is the legendary Liu Bowen, who knows 500 years before and 500 years later?

It was a relaxing afternoon, sitting in the shade of a tree and drinking tea leisurely, watching the sun set on the sea, and the glow reflected in the sparkling waves. The bones of the whole person are flabby. I don't feel like I have the strength to do it at all. It's really cool!

The red lady was busy in the kitchen, preparing wine and food, looking at the back under the tree at the door of the man's yard, and felt unusually full in her heart. It's good to be like this every day. Unfortunately, this is an extravagant hope. The lord does big things, the women in the family are indispensable, and there is a princess as the eldest woman. Isn't it just to be comfortable hiding so far? But the price is not small, even if he breaks his finger when he is lonely, it can't compare to the moment he pokes in.

Thinking of this, the red lady's body was soft again, and her crotch was hot. Command the maid to bring out the wine and food, wash her face, wipe her sweat, and come out to sit under the tree in the courtyard outside, blowing a cool breeze to eat dinner. When others see what they do, they will care about him.

The half-man-high fence is covered with morning glories, and the green leaves sway and dance in the evening breeze. It's not so remarkable, but it's full of life. The red lady likes this kind of inconspicuous flowers and plants, which grow fast and have a hard life, and can live with a piece of land under her feet.

The sake is rice wine, and it is drunk in a bowl. The degree is not high, but this thing can't drink too much, and it has a lot of stamina. In this place, rice wine is really worthless. Growing rice is very hard, and the people of the Central Plains can't see that the land is barren, so they grit their teeth and hold on. When it comes to the harvest season, the land tax of one percent is also called tax? When every household eats white rice, the aged rice is not fresh every other year. Basically, all immigrants, that is, the first year of hardship, burn the wasteland and reclaim it, and survive it. At the beginning, there were still people who were afraid of miasma or something, in fact, this thing is a legend, and the real power is the pendulum.

There are many officials living on this street, and patrolling chengguan often appear, but they will hide when they see this courtyard. The red lady sat in the shade of the tree with Chen Xie, picked up a bowl and poured it in, and said with a smile: "Happy, the master is not allowed to laugh at me." ”

Chen Xie smiled slightly, picked up the jar and filled it for her, and said lightly: "This is not the deep mansion compound of Nanjing and Jinan, where are there so many rules." Come with me this time. Just leave someone to watch the business here. No matter where I go in the future, I want to take you with me. This is true, and only in front of the red lady, a woman with an independent and free personality, can Chen Xie find a little bit of the feeling of modern life.

"The master has the final say, how can the slave family have their own reason." With just this sentence, it feels almost meaningless. Chen Xie crooked his mouth and didn't say anything more. Squinting his eyes and seeing a horse galloping over, he said lightly: "Bad luck, it's rare to be idle, and there are mundane things to worry about." It's really unpleasantly tight. ”

The sound of horses' hooves was so urgent that they were stopped from fifty meters away, and the messenger who turned over and dismounted put down the letter and left. After a while, Han Shan came in with the letter and said, "Master, the patrol fleet has discovered a new situation, ten days ago, the Dutch fleet left the port. ”

Chen Xie held the chopsticks in his hand and didn't speak, and said blankly: "Got it, transfer it to Tamsui." Go ahead and go according to the original plan. After Chen Xie finished speaking, he continued to eat and drink, the red lady bowed her head and was silent, not knowing what she was thinking, Chen Xie said lightly: "If you want to follow, go with it, don't be embarrassed to say it." ”

The red lady said happily: "I don't get seasick now, I went to sea with the boat a few days ago, watching them go to sea with the nets and fishing." Chen Xie smiled when he heard this, this woman really can't hide much in her heart.

In the early hours of the morning, a sharp horn sounded, and the military port was instantly brightly lit, and the soldiers who were carrying bicycles on the docks were shining with torches. The battleships were also lit up with lights, flashing constantly.

When Chen Xie got up, the red lady had already finished dressing, wearing a red dress, tied with a brown belt, lining out the thin waist and breasts, and wrapped a red headscarf on her head.

Hurriedly freshened up, Chen Xie also cleaned up, and when he went out, Su Haochen and other generals were already waiting at the door, the torches were lit, and Chen Xie came forward to salute collectively. "Cabinet Department, according to the calculation of time, you can encounter the enemy fleet at sea in half a month at most. The key is whether our clippers can send back information in time. ”

"Well, trust the brothers of the patrol detachment, they can do their job well. It is also the first time for us to land in an unfamiliar environment, so you have to be cautious. Steady word first. Chen Xie explained, and Su Haochen saluted and said, "Please rest assured that the cabinet will definitely complete the task." Escorted by fifteen third-class warships and twenty fourth-class warships, this trip was foolproof. ”

"After landing, blockade the Strait of Malacca, and until the end of the war, the logistics and supplies will depend on your own ideas." Chen Xie reminded him, and Su Haochen said with a smile: "It's nothing more than collecting food on the spot, and this is not in the territory of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Okay, there you go." Chen Xie smiled, this guy is not rigid. After Su Haochen saluted, he left with a group of people. There is a group of people left, still waiting for Chen Xie. This time, the plan is divided into three parts. The first part was the First Squadron under the command of Silau, with thirty fourth-class warships, whose mission was to circumnavigate behind enemy lines and block the retreat of the Dutch fleet. The second fleet, commanded by Su Haochen, made an expedition to Malacca Seafood and landed in Temasek, where it established a base and completely blockaded the strait. The main fleet was personally commanded by Chen Xie, and after the first detachment, they searched for the main force of the Dutch fleet at sea for a decisive battle. As soon as an enemy fleet is spotted, Silaujing must immediately direct his fleet to speed up and flank behind enemy lines. The main fleet commanded by Chen Xie had 25 third-class warships and 30 fourth-class warships. Positive strength, absolute crushing.

Chen Xie, who poured out of the nest, wants to be annihilated, there is no doubt about this. As for his personal command ability, he doesn't have to worry about it. The commander in charge of the flagship is Anthony, the chief of staff of the Navy, and Chen Xie is a mascot.

On the surface of the freshwater sea, the two fleets turned. Seeing Chen Zishuaiqi, cheers resounded one after another on the sea. The fleet, lined up in columns, sailed full on the sea, headed south at full speed. At the end of the line was the fleet of the Three Kingdoms that came to help, with only six ships in total, which was really pitiful.

Six days later, the fleet arrived in Manila, and when it was at anchor on the sea, a small boat rocked and came to Chen Xie's flagship. The fleet did not enter the port, which was proposed by Chen Xie, and the Spaniards were deeply pleased with this, and the Governor decided to personally visit His Excellency the cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty.
