When the class returned to Chengdu on this trip, Jiang Wei also brought Zhuge Ke, and he took Zhuge Ke to Chengdu in the name of inviting Zhuge Ke to travel to Shu.

Zhuge Ke knew that Jiang Wei was definitely not traveling to Chengdu when he took him, but he had no choice but to go with him.

And Jiang Wei also selected 300 prisoners to be used as prisoners in Chengdu, including Zhu Yi.

For Zhu Yi, Jiang Wei deliberately arranged key care and often "added meals"!

As long as Zhuge Ke came to visit the prisoner camp once, Zhu Yi would be whipped for no reason. Zhu Yi gradually seemed to have discovered the pattern, and looked forward to Zhuge Ke not coming to visit the prisoner camp again.

The hatred for Zhuge Ke in my heart is a little more.

After arranging everything, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Jiang Wei led the army and went to Jiaozhi by sea.

On Jiaozhi's side, a scout Kuaima had already sent a message that Jiang Wei was about to be a teacher and would pass through Jiaozhi, so Jiaozhi and other officials went to Halong Bay to greet him.

When a powerful sailor consisting of thirty-six huge ships and more than three hundred warships appeared on the surface of Ha Long Bay, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression.

If it weren't for the big "Han" flag written on the sails, I'm afraid everyone would have panicked at this moment.

After the fleet docked at the port, Jiang Wei was the first to disembark, followed by Guan Yinping, Hua Yan, Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Ke and others.

Ma Zhong, Fu Yan, Guan Suo, Shi Kuang, Liang Xu and others, who had been waiting in the harbor for a long time, hurriedly came over to meet Jiang Wei.

Everyone bowed together: "The lower officer greets the general!" Congratulations to the general on his victorious return! ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly invited them up. Warmly greet the generals.

At this time, a little eunuch walked out, pulled the male duck's throat and said, "The holy decree has arrived, Jiang Wei has taken the decree!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wei hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.

The little eunuch continued:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Lonely only to rule the world with literature, chaos with force. And the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country. It is able to be both civil and military, and to make efforts to repay its achievements, but not to praise it, to favor the ....... ”

“…… Today, there is the Han right prison army auxiliary Han general, Pingxiang Marquis Jiang Wei, personally led the army, recovered Jiaozhou, expanded thousands of miles, this merit is in the community, lonely heart is very comforting. Zijiner is the general of Wei, leading the history of Liangzhou Thorn, Qin this! ”

After the little eunuch finished reading it, Jiang Wei hurriedly knocked on the leader's decree to thank him, and gave the little eunuch a reward of ten baht.

The people around hurriedly gathered around to congratulate Jiang Wei, General Wei was already a high-ranking official who surpassed the generals of the Western Expedition in the martial arts of Shu Han, and looking at the entire Shu Han, the ranking was second only to Wei Yan.

Everyone felt that Jiang Wei had made such a great contribution, and General Jinwei really deserved it.

Everyone was still surprised, who was the young man in brocade clothes next to Jiang Wei? Jiang Wei hurriedly introduced to you:

"This is Zhuge Ke, the general of Weibei in Eastern Wu, who is known as a prodigy in Eastern Wu, and is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs! It is my Jiang Wei's most distinguished guest, and I am also my Jiang Wei's best friend, and I just want to introduce you to you. ”

When everyone heard it, it turned out to be a prisoner of Eastern Wu, and they couldn't figure out why Jiang Wei didn't lock him up, and he was so polite to him.

"In Xia Zhuge Ke, I have seen the generals of the Han Dynasty!"

Jiang Wei hurriedly gave Ma Zhong and the others a look, Ma Zhong was the first to understand, and hurriedly said:

"It turned out to be Zhuge Ziyu's eldest son, Zhuge Ke, I have been looking up for a long time, counting up, you are still the nephew of our late Prime Minister Zhuge Kongming!"

The rest of the people hurried over to get closer, unaware that they were talking to a captive.

When Shi Kuang saw Zhuge Ke, his expression was very complicated, as if he was shocked and angry, and deliberately hid far away, and Jiang Wei didn't pay attention to him.

Liang Xu had already arranged a banquet in Jiaozhi City, and everyone followed Liang Xu to the banquet, but Shi Kuang did not attend the banquet.

At the time of the banquet, it was naturally indispensable to the wonderful dance of the Queen of Flowers, when the flying knives and the graceful posture of the Queen of Flowers danced, Zhuge Ke suddenly seemed to have seen a fairy, his mouth was wide open, and he was so surprised that he couldn't do it.

After the dance, the Queen of Flowers didn't feel tired, but Zhuge Ke was already sweating with fright.

At the banquet, Jiang Wei raised his glass and said to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this great victory in Jiaozhou, thanks to Your Majesty's great blessings, all the soldiers are loyal and brave to kill the enemy, after this general returns to Chengdu this time, he will definitely ask for credit for you, please continue to defend the southern frontier for the Han Dynasty. Let's drink this cup and wish me the prosperity of the Han Dynasty! ”

After saying that, Jiang Wei raised his wine glass, and everyone raised their glasses and echoed loudly: "I wish me a prosperous Han country!" ”

Zhuge Ke didn't raise a glass, and he didn't raise a glass, so he had to raise his glass slightly, which meant it.

A small-scale celebration banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, Jiang Wei hurried back to Chengdu, and did not stay too much in Jiaozhi, he left Guan Suo to garrison Jiaozhi, in addition to Guan Suo's original soldiers and horses, he also gave him 10,000 Southern Barbarian soldiers.

Now the Shu army is rich in armaments in Jiaozhou, and the weapons and armor that came with the ship are enough for this group of southern barbarians to change their clothes, and the extra 10,000 armors, Jiang Wei asked Guan Suo to recruit 10,000 troops in Jiaozhou by himself.

In addition, the Jiaozhou Naval Division was also temporarily handed over to Guan Suo's command, and Jiang Wei asked Guan Suo to familiarize himself with the essentials of naval warfare as soon as possible and train an elite naval division for the Han Dynasty.

Ma Zhong and Fu Yi's subordinates basically didn't need to stay in Jiaozhou, so Jiang Wei was ready to let them each return to their stations.

As for Hua Hu, Jiang Wei originally wanted Hua Hu to return to Jianning, where Hua Mane was stationed, but Hua Hu had never been to Chengdu and insisted on going to Chengdu.

Jiang Wei also had the heart to help Hua Fei ask for the title, so it was also very good for Hua Fei to see the emperor and accept the reward in person, so he promised Hua Fei to go to Chengdu together, and allowed her to lead two thousand Nanban elites into Chengdu together.

Before leaving, Shi Kuang found Jiang Wei and asked Jiang Wei to fulfill his original promise to promote him to be Jiaozhi Taishou, and was very dissatisfied with Jiang Wei's practice of treating Zhuge Ke as a guest.

Jiang Wei said that he would naturally protect the emperor about the appointment of the Taishou, but the decision on this matter rested with the emperor.

However, if the collection of the finest pearls goes well, the more pearls there are, the easier it will be to reward them.

In fact, Jiang Wei was very unhappy that Shi Kuang had fooled him once, so now that he finally seized the opportunity, he must take the opportunity to knock and knock Shi Kuang, the old fox.

Seeing Jiang Wei's ambiguous attitude, Shi Kuang only said with aminity that he would definitely speed up the development of several sea farms in the South China Sea.

Jiang Wei said that the development of the sea field alone is not enough, and now the Jiaozhou Navy Division is very strong and has to carry out overseas trade extensively.

If he could invite a few small overseas countries to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty like Lu Dai, then Shi Kuang's official position would be far more than just a mere one who could be covered.

Jiang Wei drew a big cake for Shi Kuang, so that Shi Kuang, the old man, suddenly had an urge to fight chicken blood, and his eyes rekindled, saying that he would definitely sail for the Han Dynasty and promote the prestige of the country.

After leaving Jiaozhi, Jiang Wei led the army to continue all the way north, and soon entered the lofty mountains and mountains in the south.

After arriving in Jianning, Ma Zhong separated from Jiang Wei. Then Jiang Wei made a special detour to Panzhihua.

At this time, Liang Qian was so excited that he burst into tears when he saw Jiang Wei's victorious class return, and he hurriedly reported to Jiang Wei the progress of the Panzhihua Iron Mine.

"General, around the Panzhihua Iron Mine, there are indeed coal mines, and three coal mines have begun to be excavated, with a daily output of 50,000 catties of coal mines."

Jiang Wei was very satisfied with this, patted Liang Qian on the shoulder and said:

"Well done, Liang Qian, although you didn't succeed in the southern expedition with me, but you did a good job in the Panzhihua Iron Mine, and its merit is no less than that of the southern expedition to kill the enemy! Now that the fuel problem is solved, what about the other problems? ”

Liang Qian excitedly continued:

"Because the fuel problem was solved, I tripled the size of the iron ore mine, and now there are nearly 30,000 miners here, and as the scale increases, more and more people come to do business around the iron mine."

"The miners had wages in their hands and could afford to spend money to buy grain, and the merchants found that there was money to be made here, so they came to do business one after another, and the problem of grain transshipment was inexplicably solved by this group of merchants."

"Oh, is it? Sure enough, if you have the necessities of life, you don't have to worry about the lack of a market! Jiang Wei nodded and continued to ask, "What is the output of iron ore now?" ”

Liang Qian said proudly: "But six hundred catties of iron can be produced every day." ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, he quickly calculated in his heart, "The daily production of iron is 600 catties, which is 18,000 catties a month, and more than 100,000 catties a year." Isn't this just a Panzhihua iron mine enough to be rich enough to rival the country! ”
