This storm has not yet arrived, but a heavy snowfall has come unexpectedly.

It snowed heavily for three days.

In an instant, the entire northern region was covered in snow and ice.

When a person walks on snow, the snow can cover half of his knees.

Thanks to the fact that the house has been built a long time ago, it can barely withstand this blizzard.

In addition, Yang Chengying also asked the soldiers to contribute the old clothes they did not wear.

In addition, the people donated a set of cotton clothes for each of the hundreds of thousands of people who stayed near Guifu Fort for the winter.

It is said that "Ruixue is a good year", how does Yang Chengying think it is not a good sign.

It happened that Ning Wan and I were also in the Fort of Surrender, and Yang Chengying brought him over to discuss the matter together.

Ning Wan said: "Dashuai's guess is that this year is probably a year of catastrophe. If it weren't for the fact that Dashuai had asked the people of Dachangshan Island to burn charcoal in advance, and sent it here in large quantities, it is estimated that people would have frozen to death. ”

With that, he put his hand on the fire and roasted it.

As I was talking just now, I only raised my hand and rubbed it, and I lost consciousness.

Yang Chengying kept his hands on the charcoal fire and roasted, but he was not as optimistic as Ning Wan.

"Heavy snow covers the mountains, and I don't know what the situation is in other places!"

Yang Chengying couldn't help but worry: "The expenses of hundreds of thousands of people in Jinzhou Town are not a small amount. In particular, Jishan Hall and Nursery School. ”

Ning Wan comforted me: "I have been like this in the past few years, I think that Luo Sanjie, Zu Tianshou and Fan Wencheng are not ordinary characters, so they should not be unprepared." ”

"I hope so." Yang Chengying roasted the back of his hand and looked up at the outside of the house.

Outside the house was covered in snow, and there were hardly pedestrians in sight.

The whole fortress was huddled in the house, guarding the coals.

The soldiers also hid at the lookout posts, or did not come out of the tents, and they all guarded the charcoal.

Yang Chengying asked for a large amount of charcoal to be burned as early as after the end of the autumn harvest, so the charcoal was abundant.

But I'm worried about waste, so starting from him, the charcoal fire is not allowed to be too big.

In addition, the door must not be closed tightly, and there must be a ventilated area.

Although it will be a little cold, it will not be carbon monoxide poisoning.

At first, the people did not believe him, until several houses were destroyed in succession, and then they did.

Everyone left the door open and not as tightly closed as before.

Putting away the flying thoughts, Yang Chengying had an idea in his heart: "I plan to celebrate the New Year in Jinzhou City this year, and gather all the major generals together to plan the strategy for the coming year." ”

"That's good." I agree, "Jinzhou Town is no longer a town with only tens of thousands of people, but a large town with a population of hundreds of thousands, and we must make long-term plans." ”

"It's not just because of this, I think the coming year will probably be a year of great disaster."

Yang Chengying deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I have to make arrangements in advance, I can't let the people starve to death!" ”

With the vigorous people, there is a stable Jinzhou Town.

Ning Wan nodded: "I guess Dashuai's mind at this time is not in the north, but in the east." ”

Yang Chengying laughed: "That's right. Tsushima Island should go for another walk, and then there is the Hirado Matsuura Domain, which controls the trade with the Netherlands and is quite rich. ”

"That's where the Sailor comes in." "I have already recruited some boatmen, mainly from the bottom of the Li Dynasty, who have already built a warship like that. ”

"Okay, after the Chinese New Year, I'll go and see the big ship you supervised in person."

Yang Chengying patted me on the shoulder, "By the way, take a look at the gambling house you opened on the island, is it really a daily profit?" ”

"Absolute daily progress."

Ning Wan took the opportunity to suggest: "Dashuai, in order to keep these people, is Dashuai allowed......"

"No way!" Without waiting for me to finish speaking, Yang Chengying objected: "We are now short of manpower, both men and women are good at construction, if we engage in those miasma things now, it will not be good for the future." ”

Although I didn't agree, I nodded.

Yang Chengying said: "I will turn a blind eye to the things you have done. However, neither the government nor the private sector should indulge in this. You must know that money can be earned again, and you only have one life. ”

"What the marshal said is true, but the real money is still in those nobles, and the grain collected by the poor people is either hoarded or returned to them in disguise."

"Haha...... The real lucrative buying and selling is not in the casino or in pleasure, but between countries. ”

As soon as Yang Chengying said this, Ning Wan's mind was immediately drawn to this.

I heard that Yang Chengying met Wang Shaoxun alone, but no one knew what they were talking about.

Ning After I came to Guifu Fort a few times to ask, I felt that if the big man was willing to tell you, he would tell him without asking, so I suppressed my curiosity.

Yang Chengying brought up this matter again, which aroused Ning Wan's curiosity again.

"Marshal, why did General Kashima come here? Thousands of cloths? ”

As he spoke, Ning Wan had a playful smile on his face, obviously disagreeing with the rumor that thousands of cloths had bought Wang Shaoxun.

Yang Chengying waved his hand and said with a smile: "Marshal Li Shi was dissatisfied with the Li Dynasty and listed his merits only second, so he had the idea of rebellion and found Wang Shaoxun. ”

Having said this, Yang Chengying did not continue.

After Ning finishes my ingenuity and grasp of human nature, it is not difficult to guess what follows.

Sure enough, Ning Wan thought about it for a while, and then understood: "The marshal asked Wang Shaoxun to support Li Shi on his face, and even sent troops to Li Chao to muddy the waters." secretly obeyed the orders of the commander, and when the commander sent troops, he would immediately go anyway. ”

"Haha, that's not all." Yang Chengying nodded and said, "Don't forget, the envoys of the Li Dynasty were also placed in Port Arthur by me. ”

"If they don't give more money, don't want the envoys to go to the capital."

Ning Wan stroked my palm and laughed: "Plus the money for sending troops to quell the rebellion, let alone give the commander a hundred thousand taels." ”

"You're smiling so treacherously." Yang Chengying frowned, "I'm 'Tong Suo is not bullied', and I sent troops to fight hard." helped them ask the court for canonization, and they also made great efforts. ”

"Yes, yes, Dashuai is the most honest businessman in the world, and he takes money to do things."

On the weirdness of yin and yang, I have to finish me.

The two couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, the wind and snow outside tightened even tighter.

Hula, snowflakes flying.

Yang Chengying subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly.

Wu Sangui and Shen Zhixiang, one holding a stove, and the stove was red charcoal; A man walked in with a vessel for warming wine and a pot of burning knives.

Set up a stove next to Yang Chengying and cook wine.

A moment later, the heat filled the room.

"Dashuai, the best wine was bought from Jiangnan by my father."

Wu Sangui handed the first bowl of hot wine to Yang Chengying.

Yang Chengying held it with both hands, "On such a cold day, it's worth drinking a bowl." So call all the brethren in and drink together. ”

"This, this is your father's toast." Wu Sangui was reluctant.

"I received Ling Zun's wishes, and as for this wine, of course, it's fun for everyone to drink it together."

Yang Chengying beckoned the soldiers guarding in front of the door and came in to drink together.

The room suddenly became lively.
