Shen Leng hadn't smelled the sea for a long time.

So when the sea breeze came to his face, he was in a trance, and then there was a burst of emotion, it seemed that it had been a long time since the general of the sailor left the sailor, and then he felt a little strange when he saw the blue of the sea, and when he arrived, the corpse on the shore had not been cleaned up, and the ground was full of white feathers, and it seemed that there was a piece of grass next to the sea from a distance.

The old man, who looked a little bent, stood on the shore and waved at him, and at that moment, Shen Leng's heart tightened suddenly, and he felt a little painful.

I met Zhuang Yong in the army at the age of sixteen, and now it has been another fourteen years.

According to his age, Zhuang Yong should not have been so old, but the time he was injured was too serious, and people are in a foreign place all the year round, and sadness will make people get old.

"Why don't you say something?"

Zhuang Yong looked at Shen Leng with a smile, as if looking at his own child.

"I don't want to say it."

"Why?"

"What does my letter say?"

"You said that I should arrange a sailor, and said that I was too old to allow me to personally lead the army to the expedition, just leave it to the people below to do it, and you also said that I was injured, so my physique is not as good as before, don't allow this or that, I can't remember so much, anyway, you said a lot of no."

Zhuang Yong said with a smile: "But I don't accept the old, nor the old, the affairs of the southern Xinjiang sea are under my control, I naturally want to come, and I don't worry about handing it over to others to fight this battle, you see me wearing armor and hanging a long knife, but I can't fight and kill people?" ”

Shen stared at him coldly, of course, he didn't have much power.

Zhuang Yong smiled and smiled, his eyes were slightly red: "The most important thing is that I want to meet you." ”

Shen Leng suddenly couldn't help it, grinning and smirking, tears flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"When I'm old, I have to admit that I'm not a hairy boy of seventeen or eighteen years old."

Shen Leng stretched out his hand to support Zhuang Yong's arm, Zhuang Yong's eyes were also slightly red, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen it for a long time, if I don't come, you can't go to Southern Xinjiang, you missed it like this, maybe it will be really difficult to see each other again, after this battle is over, you will go to Eastern Xinjiang to train sailors, think about it, if you want to break your scalp, there is no reason and opportunity to meet each other." ”

Zhuang Yong said as he walked: "I've been waiting for you in this place for a few months, and if you meet, I'll discipline me and explain some reasoning." ”

Shen Leng pouted: "It's not worrying when you're old, counting on praising you?" ”

Zhuang Yong smiled: "It's still worry-free when you're old, why keep your days?" At this age, you don't have so much peace of mind, and you can still worry about it more. ”

"Phew!"

Shen Leng snorted: "I'll talk to Your Majesty when I go back." ”

"What to talk about? Transfer me back to Chang'an? ”

Zhuang Yong said as he walked: "Do you think military affairs are child's play? ”

Shen Leng didn't answer.

Zhuang Yong said: "You are not allowed to come nonsense." ”

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "Is there a place nearby where I can buy vegetables?" ”

"Hahaha."

Zhuang Yong laughed: "Of course there is, I have already inquired clearly." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "Did you bring the silver?" ”

Zhuang Yong: "Can't you take the initiative to bring back the silver?" ”

Shen Leng: "I brought it." ”

Zhuang Yong: "Then you still ask me." ”

Shen Leng: "I brought it, but I picked it, of course it cost you if you brought it." ”

Zhuang Yong: "......"

Half an hour later, the smell of food came from a restaurant in Linhai that was not very large, this place was far away from the Central Plains, and I thought

It is impossible to eat the dishes of the Central Plains, according to the region, this place should be far west from the Rilang Strait, the skin of the people in this place is different from the Central Plains, it looks dark, and it is also short, this restaurant is not opened by the locals, it is the Rilang people, the locals can't afford to eat, and the reception is all merchants who come and go.

The people of Rilang call the locals the natives, there is no writing, of course, it is not easy to communicate, as early as ten years ago, the army of the country of rest had landed here, but this place is really poor people do not even have the desire to fight, this place forgotten by civilization has a unique geographical advantage, located in the waters of the Rilang Strait is stable and the best place to dock, very business-minded people have opened a lot of supply stations here, and the passing merchant ships will dock to replenish supplies.

And these natives don't know that this place is so important because they are not civilized, and those who are lucky enough to be hired by the Rilang people do not have to pay every month, because they don't even have money to circulate, as long as they let them eat better, they are willing to do anything, they don't know that silver and gold are valuable, but they know that a beautiful dress is rare, so if you give them a dress made of cotton, they will fly happily.

"If the maritime business is more developed in the future, this place will be amazing."

Shen Leng said: "When I attacked the country of Rilang, I knew that this place would be prosperous because of the sea, and it would also become a military place because of the sea, and more importantly, if Daning could garrison the army, then the barbaric land that was about thousands of miles north from here would become the land of Daning, and even the people here could conquer it without war, and the people here had no concept of money, give them some benefits and they will give you gold and silver as gifts." ”

He looked at the fish stewed in the pot: "The Sabbatarians came here a few years ago, but they felt that it was not worth possessing or plundering, so they shook it around and went back, and Galocle's eyes could not see that far. ”

"Galocleo is in prison, and he should not be convinced if he hears your comments."

"He's a great guy for war, but he's mistaken about the purpose of war."

Shen Leng said while chopping vegetables: "In my opinion, there are only two purposes of war, one is for protection, and the other is for development...... The harvest of the Sabbaths was too superficial and too cruel, and they went from place to place to slaughter. ”

The people in the restaurant have been invited out, and there are only two people in the kitchen, he and Zhuang Yong, and the outside of the restaurant are Zhuang Yong's personal soldiers.

"This place looks tired and barbaric and backward, but think about it, General, how cheap it is to hire local natives as trade unions? I've seen that the climate here is suitable for agriculture, silkworms and tea, and if the army is stationed in this place for a long time, it will only take ten years of development to bring much higher income than the current Jiangnan Province to the national treasury. ”

Zhuang Yong nodded: "But after all, it is too far away from Daning, and the assigned troops will not even have support once they are attacked." ”

"We have a fleet."

Shen Leng said: "This is why I have been persuading His Majesty to put the Annan Protectorate in Rilang, from Rilang to the sea, our fleet can get here in about twenty days, this world is far bigger than we imagined, I have talked to the merchants of Rilang Country, they have even been to places many times farther than here, the people there look completely different from us, it is said that the tall hair is yellow sè, the eyes are blue, and the speech is like a bird's language, but the business over there is developed, and the army is also strong. ”

"Here."

Shen Leng stomped his feet: "Whoever controls first is advantageous." ”

Zhuang Yong smiled:

"You take this place so seriously in a place that doesn't even have a name."

"Just a name."

Shen Leng said: "Your Majesty has decided to change the country of Rilang to Daning, you see, ......"

Shen Leng put down the kitchen knife in his hand, walked up to the second floor of the restaurant with Zhuang Yong and stood there and looked into the distance: "This land stretches into the sea, like a wolf's tooth, then call this place the wolf's tooth corner, we have the final say." ”

We have the final say, how confident are these words?

The two of them stood on the terrace on the second floor and looked at the coast in the distance, the passing merchant ships were not affected by the war, and if this place was managed well, maybe in ten years, this place would become a prosperous city.

"The place where the Daning soldiers are stepping on is the land, this is the place where the new Daning land is added, if a new city is built in the future, it will be called Xinjia City."

Zhuang Yong's nose twitched: "The name of Xinjiacheng is good, but it seems that the taste of fish is a little mushy." ”

Shen Leng hurriedly ran downstairs, and then saw Zhuang Yong smiling like a child: "Lie to you." ”

Shen Leng stopped, looked at Zhuang Yong and snorted: "How old are you?" ”

Zhuang Yong: "It's less than sixty." ”

Half an hour later, the table was already full of dishes, Shen Leng's craftsmanship naturally did not say, the sea fish is more steamed and less boiled, less used for stewing, Shen Leng knows the taste that Zhuang Yong loves to eat, this fish has been stewed for an hour and a half, and only stir-fried when the fish is almost ready, so every dish is hot, in addition to the dishes of this hometown, Shen Leng also specially brought two jars of good wine to Zhuang Yong.

Zhuang Yong took a sip of wine, nodded with satisfaction, he looked at Shen Leng and said seriously: "You listen to my advice, don't talk about transferring me back to Chang'an in front of Your Majesty after you go back, Your Majesty has your own arrangements, relying on your own military merits but interfering in Your Majesty's arrangements, even if Your Majesty allows it, you will have an opinion on you, no one likes to rely on their own merits to ask for more subordinates." ”

"I know."

Shen Leng picked up the wine glass: "Touch it?" ”

Zhuang Yong laughed: "Then touch it." ”

The two cups touched crisply in mid-air, and then the wine was drunk by the two of them at the same time, Zhuang Yong couldn't help but let out a long breath: "It's still the wine at home that tastes better." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "It's really hard for you to be on the Qiu Li side. ”

Zhuang Yong: "Not really. ”

"Definitely."

Shen Leng sighed: "You didn't drink half of your pot of wine, and you didn't drink it, and you said that it tasted enough." ”

Zhuang Yong: "......"

He reached out to take Shen Leng's wine jug, Shen Leng hurriedly stopped him, Zhuang Yong snorted: "Can you not stop me, just drink wine once." ”

Shen Leng reluctantly gave his wine pot to Zhuang Yong: "That's okay, this pot is for you, don't rob me again, after drinking it, it's over, you can't drink more." ”

Zhuang Yong laughed: "Don't worry, I won't drink this pot of wine anymore." ”

He poured a glass from the cold wine jug, picked it up and sniffed it, then drank it in one gulp, smashed it and smashed it, and his face became ugly: "Alas...... After all calculations, I still fell for you. ”

Shen Leng laughed, holding Zhuang Yong's pot of wine and not letting go: "Your pot of wine is not mixed with water, my pot of wine is really mixed with half of water." ”

Zhuang Yong's eyes narrowed slightly, and Shen Leng hugged the wine jug tighter: "Don't come to this set, you can't say anything, and you can't change it if you say it's good." ”

Zhuang Yong asked, "Is it appropriate to roll around?" ”

"You're a general!"

"Is it appropriate for the general to roll around?"
