After the Battle of Jinling, Jiangnan was quickly pacified. All the local governors were sending people to contact the court of Jingshi, expressing their willingness to submit to the court of Longwu. The battlefield began in Liaodong, and the turmoil that has been in place for almost ten years has been completely over.

The various garrison divisions trained in Liaodong quickly marched into various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the movement to divide the land also began. The peasants, who had been destitute for generations, were given land, and the peasants were extremely grateful to the new court.

Those landlords and the like no longer kill indiscriminately for no reason. The imperial court issued a proclamation to move them to Guanzhong, Gyeonggi, and Liaodong, which was severely underpopulated. It is believed that these people can survive better on the land of the empire.

The Battle of Jinling took only half a year, and Jiangnan calmed down. Merchants went about business as usual, peasants worked in the fields, and the dervishes and students who were rushing to take exams walked on the official roads. With the exception of the ruined Jinling, the other cities seem to have forgotten about the war.

Hong Chengchou lived up to expectations, and only three months after entering Sichuan, he fought four battles with Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong, who lost the basic main force, was not the opponent of Hong Bing under Hong Chengchou at all. After four battles, Zhang Xianzhong was holding his head and running away. The panicked Zhang Xianzhong went all the way south, first running to Guiyang. Before the ass was hot, Hong Chengchou, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, killed him.

In view of Lord Hong's ferocity, Zhang Xianzhong turned around and ran away without saying a word. finally ran to Kunming, but Kunming was stationed at the Mu family. Facing Kunming, which has been operated by the Mu family for more than 200 years, Zhang Xianzhong didn't even have the intention of attacking, bypassing Kunming and heading south.

The attitude of the Mu family is very problematic, neither receiving Zhang Xianzhong, who fled in the wilderness, nor Hong Chengchou, who is chasing after him all the way. Anyway, let your tongue be rotten, Lao Tzu will also strictly guard it, just don't open the city gate. Not to mention the supply logistics, there is not even a single one who comes out to answer. Anyway, you kid won't dare to attack the city!

sent someone to yell for half a night, and Hong Chengchou also died. With the spirit of coming back to settle accounts with your kid, after a night's sleep, he continued to camp to chase Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong ran all the way, and Hong Chengchou chased all the way. Zhang Xianzhong's people chased less and less, and Hong Chengchou's people chased more and more. Anyway, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates came to surrender, and Lord Hong was not guilty of the past, so he changed his clothes and chased after him.

Lord Hong is really interesting, not only in charge of clothes but also in charge of food. Sleeping with Zhang Xianzhong, people who can't eat enough are very yearning for a full meal. When he arrived at the 100,000 mountains on the Sino-Burmese border, there were only a few people left under Zhang Xianzhong.

The stupid thing of burrowing into the 100,000 mountains with his head, Hong Chengchou will not do it. The Mu family refused to provide food, and more than 10,000 people of their own were killed, and they could starve their more than 10,000 people if they were hungry. is worthy of a generation of famous ministers, and it is impossible for 100,000 mountains to stump Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou summoned the guys who surrendered, since your brother took care of your food, you have to work. More than a dozen squads were sent out, and they had only one goal - Zhang Xianzhong.

It doesn't matter if it's a human head or a living person. As long as Mr. Zhang Xianzhong is brought to Daming, it will be a great achievement. Not only can they be fed and clothed, but Lord Hong also promised them to be officials.

The temptation was too great, and more than a dozen teams entered the 100,000 mountains without saying a word, vowing to arrest Zhang Xianzhong.

I don't know where Zhang Xianzhong went, and I don't fucking know where these dozen or so teams went. Anyway, Hong Chengchou waited for two months, and except for the Miao people who occasionally came out of the mountain, he didn't see anyone else coming out.

Hong Chengchou, who was really bored, was about to go back to the Mu family to settle accounts, but the Mu family sent someone over, and the Mu family also dropped!

There is no way to fight, everyone is working for the imperial court, and now they have suddenly changed from enemies to colleagues. Since they are all colleagues, don't fight, sit down and have a meal and drink some wine, and contact and contact will be friends in the future.

With the help of the Mu family, Lord Hong's logistics are no longer tight. But Hong Chengchou still didn't dare to enter the 100,000 mountains to catch Zhang Xianzhong, who was nowhere to be found. In the end, Hong Chengchou told the truth, gave the court a seal, and reported Zhang Xianzhong's disappearance.

Sun Chengzong didn't know what was going on with the 100,000 Great Mountain, and there were still stories of the Jiuli clan and the evil god Chiyou in his head. He doesn't know, it doesn't mean that Li Xiao doesn't know.

The 100,000 Mountains not only have smoke miasma, but also countless poisonous monsters, and those who don't have a guide Hong Chengchou are likely to even go the wrong way. The story of the defeat of the 100,000 army in the Savage Mountain is too profound for Li Xiao.

Zhang Xianzhong entered the 100,000 Mountains during the rainy season, which was the craziest season for leeches and ants in the 100,000 Mountains. Plus countless centipedes, poisonous snakes and even bats wreak havoc!

Not to mention, although there is no wildlife protection law in these days, there are many wild animals in the jungle. Countless leopards, tigers, crocodiles, as well as pythons, elephants. Savages in the jungle are also a major safety hazard.

Anyway, the reason why Zhang Xianzhong hasn't been found yet is probably that he has hung up.

After explaining to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong also expressed his understanding. An edict ordered Hong Chengchou's army to be stationed on the spot, and Hong Chengchou returned to Beijing to report on his work.

The world is peaceful, and the East China Sea is also calm. The five-masted ship sailed in the East China Sea, and Li Xiu wanted to go back to Changxing Island for the New Year, and by the way, he saw his nephew who he had never met. has been patronizing and fighting all year round, and has not had time to see the eldest son and grandson of this generation of the Li family. More importantly, this year, the world is peaceful, and Li Xiao will take his younger brothers and sisters to the graves of his parents and sisters to worship.

"Second master! It's Putuo Mountain over there, don't you want to see it? I heard that the Bodhisattva above is very effective! Chen Laohu handed Li Xiu a pot of wine very doggedly. For ships at sea, wind and waves are the biggest enemy. It is also normal to drink alcohol to drive away the cold. So much so that a cup of Wuliangye every day is already a serving.

Li Xiu took a piece of Jinhua ham, took a sip of wine, and used a knife to cut off a piece of ham and threw it into his mouth.

"We're floating on the sea, so it's more practical to say goodbye to Mazu. Bodhisattva, let's not worship! Hurry back to Changxing Island, and the old fisherman wrote that there was a new weapon to be installed on the ship for testing. Besides, I have to worship my ancestors during the Chinese New Year this year.

Daddy, mother and sister died miserably! Back then, I remember that the eldest brother cut the wood and engraved the name. All these years he has been fighting outside and not going to worship. ”

"The marshal, the second, third, and fourth masters went to worship, and the local officials must have done it properly. Second master, wait, the little rudder will go to Putuo Mountain, and the old monk on the mountain will load a few for the second master. It's useful for worship! ”

"The monk of Putuo Mountain has offended you? Why do you keep beating their minds, now that the sea is too peaceful, go back early and rest for two days. Don't let you beat the old monk's idea! ”

"No! Second master, this time Jinling is finished. There is no need to expand the army, and the imperial court should squeeze out the silver for our navy. Look at us, it's still the ships that were captured. It is impossible to control the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea, and the Yellow Sea now, let alone control the South China Sea in the future.

I heard that in the past two years, the Zheng family's fleet has become bigger and bigger. The ships running in the South China Sea must have the Zheng family's flag to be safe. Every year, the Zheng family's income is like a sea of gold and silver. ”

"Red-eyed? Don't worry about the affairs of the Zheng family, my eldest brother had an agreement with Zheng Zhilong at the beginning, and every year the Zheng family's money will be distributed to my eldest brother. Do you think that after all these years of fighting, what will my eldest brother support? The Zheng family's silver is very useful!

The eldest brother is a nostalgic person, and it is estimated that the Zheng family can earn a few years with this cheap silver. But this time when I go back, I have to talk to my eldest brother. Anyway, the battle on the ground is almost over, and our navy has to build a few big ships. The fisherman said that boats with boilers were already being designed. This type of boat does not need sails and can sail both upwind and downwind. Moreover, the speed of the ship is faster than our five-masted ship.

This time when I return to Jingshi, I must persuade my eldest brother to build a few of these things. ”

"No sails? So powerful? ”
