People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this is about to be the New Year, the old achievements really tasted the taste of sorrow, sitting by the port, a sip of wine and a sip of wine.

Cheng also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, this year's Dongjiang clearance sweep, it is foreseeable, can make people make a hard stroke, but also because there are too many goods sent this year, the cabin space of the ship to the return is not enough, the first few days have not paid attention to these, the two of them are still full of Dongjiang, see what is cheap, discuss to bring back to Beijing, the fourth day, from the Dongjiang unique tabloid to see two groups of foreign businessmen actually because of the cabin fight, these two people panicked, ran to the port to ask, the position has been discharged for more than ten days.

What's even more tragic is why it's always him who is unlucky, this yesterday, after lining up for several days, the last position was lined up by Xu Laoxiang, and at this time there is no brotherhood, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes! The two of them drank a group of wine, this old man was forced to hold on to a smile and said good things to let him go first, but this time, there is no position, there is no tomorrow, on the Hong Kong brand, the nearest space has to be more than ten days.

But the fifteen-day deadline for leaving the Dongjiang River, there is only one day left, Lao Cheng doesn't know what the situation will be after the expiration of the deadline, but he knows everything about how barbaric and cruel the soldiers are in this year, and he is really forced to throw the goods to the Dongjiang River and go back by himself.

But in this way, the last capital is here, so I can really only close the shop and go back to my hometown in Shanxi to farm.

The wine was even more sorrowful, and it was a pot of corn soju from Dongjiang that was a specialty of the Dongjiang River, and the stomach was like a fire, and he was in a daze, grabbing the wine bottle, and he threw it into the sea.

"His grandmother's!"

Drunk, staggering like a second-rate child, a few little girls watched him swaying around the street like a bird, and quickly dodged, and scolded the hooligan with disdain.

"Hooligan, what's wrong with Lao Tzu hooligan, Lao Tzu is a hooligan, I'll rogue you, haha!"

With the loud shouting, the people around him hid farther, and a few little girls ran away in small steps like they ran for their lives, and they laughed when they saw it.

The inn where I lived was not far from here, and the drunkenness of seven points was sent to twelve points, and he carried an empty bottle and swayed in, but immediately, Lao Cheng came for a second.

Six strong men wearing black robes and black black sand hats, who looked like imperial eagle dogs, sat there in a row with knives on their shoulders.

The character of the little citizen who bullies the soft and fears the hard is undoubtedly revealed, and the drunkenness of seven points suddenly becomes two points, the empty wine bottle is hidden behind him, and he quickly straightens the collar of his clothes.

But I'm really afraid of what's coming, just walked to the staircase, it was dark in front of me, I subconsciously wanted to turn back, and it was dark behind me, seeing the four big men sandwiching themselves in the middle, Lao Cheng almost didn't cry, and bent over and hugged his fists sadly to make a circle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't the fifteen-day deadline coming tomorrow?"

"You're lucky, our general wants to see you, let's go with us!"

In an instant, his face was as white as paper, and Lao Cheng's legs were weak, but Dongjiang's efficiency was undoubtedly improved, and the two of them took his arm and dragged him out.

…………

The little people have the sorrows of the little people, and the big people also have the difficulties of the big people, and now Mao Jue is sitting at the office desk with his brows locked.

Two reports were placed in front of him, both good news and bad news.

First of all, the Wa Kingdom, it turns out that without Mao Jue, this group of people is really not good, in June launched the Tokugawa Crusade, more than 30 daimyo in the west of the country sang all the way, and directly hit Edo Castle in one breath, although it was not far away, but it was also brilliant.

But then, these guys began to intrigue, they all wanted the head of Tokugawa Iemitsu, but they didn't want to let themselves consume their troops, and no one went out to attack the city, just surrounding Edo.

But what kind of place is Edo Castle, this place and Osaka are extremely acquainted, relying on the seaside, and the mountains and rivers are solid, the rear can be continuously replenished with food, the siege is not able to defeat Edo, when Oda Nobunaga captured Ishiyama Honganji, he also defeated the naval army supported by the Maori family by ironclad ships, which was captured.

Yuan Chonghuan is not a famous general, what he is good at is inspiring and scheduling, but the daimyo can't do anything, it's different here and when he was in Liaodong, he can't lead the samurai of the Toyotomi family to take the lead and advise the daimyo to retreat, these slippery heads have not retreated, they can only stalemate here.

The result was good, the first heavy snow of winter fell for three days, the land supply was cut off, and those who lacked cold materials were also frozen enough, taking the opportunity to launch a counterattack by the Tokugawa family, 160,000 people were directly defeated, but fortunately, there were not many deaths, less than during the Battle of Sekigahara, and 1,56 were killed.

However, the Tokugawa family did not dare to chase it, and this year's battle was over.

In this battle, Mao Jue has been accumulating in the hearts of the Tokugawa family, the invincible military prestige of the western country has been broken, and the momentum of the destruction of the Tokugawa family is gone.

But the benefits are also obvious, Yuan Chonghuan learned something in this battle, put the headquarters at the end, the Tokugawa samurai counterattacked, he was the first to run away, sure enough, these daimyo were unreliable, the Shimazu family in front, the Maori family also retreated directly, and wanted to hide behind the Toyotomi family's army, so that the Toyotomi family could top the tank, this is good, they will eat the bitter fruit, if they resist on the spot, they will not be able to die so many people, this wave, the two families will lose face.

The daimyo was weakened, and the position of the Toyotomi family became more and more consolidated, and it also left a shadow on the hearts of the ministers of these western countries, and the Toyotomi family could not leave him Mao Jue.

This is a matter of the Wa Kingdom, and the second thing is Kuba Island.

Treating the natives of Kuye Island, Mao Jue's policy is similar to that of the Indians of later generations, aren't they slavery? Mao Jue did not destroy, and divided a separate community for them, except for those who participated in the Dongjiang army and those who had slave status, Dongjiang ransomed them all, and the rest still recognized their old tribal personal dependence.

However, just like the Indian reservations in later generations, the American government has so much money, and in order to get more appropriations, the Indian chiefs even took the initiative not to put their own people on the household registration and excluded them from becoming American citizens, and it is not without reason that there are fewer and fewer Indians.

On the other hand, seeing that the people around them were free to earn money and support themselves, they needed to pay tribute to the chieftaincy and nobles, and the natives of Sakhalin were not fools, and in the long run, they were also dissatisfied in their hearts, and the majesty of the chieftain was more and more diminished, and the old system naturally collapsed.

It's just that now before the collapse, these indigenous people are living too well under the governance of the Dongjiang River, the chief can get a lot of silver every month, and the people below are also well fed and clothed, so they don't have to worry about freezing to death in winter, and even the medical level of the Dongjiang River is much stronger than the old tribes.

This month, Luo Zhige wrote an official letter to himself again, and several Heilongjiang tribes wanted to come over, but this time it was not a small fight, they were all big clans, and the population of one piece was even close to 156,000.

The five regiments of Kuye Town have proved that these nomadic peoples between the white mountains and black waters are really born warriors, and the more tribes join, Mao Jue's strength will be greatly increased, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

The rebellion of Tang Zhong'anshi, on the one hand, was indeed Tang Xuanzong's neglect of government, giving local feudal towns a chance to sit big, but on the other hand, Hebei Huhua is not unrelated, with the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of northeast ethnic minorities and grassland tribes were migrated to Hebei, greatly diluting the number of Han people.

There are only more than 70,000 Han people on Kuye Island, and the Jurchens are about to reach 40,000, so Mao Jue can't help but worry about whether he will be dominated by anti-guests.

Moreover, a large number of tribal populations under his control fled to his own territory, Huang Taiji would definitely be unhappy, how Houjin reacted, Mao Jue was also worried in his heart.

It's just that no matter how many drawbacks there are, it can't delay the pace of Dongjiang's self-improvement, pinching his chin and frowning for more than ten minutes, Mao Jue still reviewed the next four words on Luo Zhige's official document and accepted them all! Then wrote an investigation and reprimand on Yuan Chonghuan's official letter.

Two official documents were thrown in front of him, his head was pillowed on his arm, and he was holding his head and leaning on the back of the chair, Mao Jue was just about to relax, but his door was knocked again, and as the bell shook, Mao Jue came in and bowed.

"General! The person Mr. Song asked for was brought!"

"Bring it on!"

Rubbing the sun, *** Jue nodded tiredly.

Then, Lao Chengcheng was grabbed by the arms of the two guards of the master's mansion and carried him up.

With a flutter, Lao Cheng knelt directly on the ground, and then his head was also prostrate on the ground, not that he knew much about etiquette, but that his legs were really weak, and he was used to others standing in front of his desk, so he saw a pouting ass, and Mao Jue had to stand up by himself.

"Get up! We don't have so much etiquette in Dongjiang. ”

"Return, go back to the general's grandfather, villain, villain has soft legs, real, real, I really can't stand up!"

Well, this is the master, I still have to stand with him, take out a picture scroll from the desk and throw it down, Mao Jue asked directly to the point.

"This blue cloth workshop is your family's property, but there is a Wen butler who always comes to your shop to buy it."

A painting is similar to the Qingming Riverside picture, the street of Jingshi is drawn, and his own shop is in it, stunned, and Lao Cheng nodded sadly.

"Grandpa Hui, yes, it's a small family business, and there is indeed a Wen housekeeper who often comes to the small shop to buy!"

What a coincidence!

showed a smile, Mao Jue didn't say anything more, and waved the back of his hand directly at Mao Jue, and then, the two guards went out again with Lao Cheng's arm.

After changing offices, Lao Cheng still threw himself on his knees, but this time, the person at the desk did not stand up, and a muffled voice sounded behind the desk.

"Shopkeeper Cheng, I heard that the port has been very difficult recently, you bought 900 pieces of cloth in our Dongjiang River, but there is really no space to transport it, but is there such a thing?"

"Back to my lord, there is indeed such a thing, but the small one will definitely hurry up and transport the things out, absolutely, definitely not breaking the rules of the Dongjiang River!"

"Rules? Oh, you said that those fifteen days, it's nothing if it's over, it's just that the general doesn't want to do business in name, but in fact he is begging in the Dongjiang River, and he refuses to know that he knows the rules of the Dongjiang River.

Really?

Lao Cheng raised his head in disbelief, but then his old face couldn't help twitching, it turned out that this person didn't stand up, but he was too short, standing in front of the table, he could see a big head.

"Small, small......"

Pie in the sky? Looking at the big head, Lao Cheng didn't know what to say for a while, and felt that it was too awkward to stand like this, Song Datou simply walked out from behind the desk and stood in front of Lao Cheng with a smile.

"However, the official has something he wants to ask to become a shopkeeper, and the official has a nephew who can't become a weapon, that's called a man who can't be a martial artist, and he is lazy to do it all day long, which makes the official lose face in front of the general, and the official wants him and the shopkeeper to go to Beijing to be trained, just be a job, what do you think?"

Stunned again, this first saw the Dongjiang general, and then saw a certain official in the Dongjiang, just to find an apprentice job under him for a family member?

It's just that looking at Song Xiance's shining eyes, where did he dare to say a word, Lao Cheng was busy and turned his head into a dustpan.

"This grandfather, you have the final say! It's up to you!"
