(I deeply realized my mistakes, accelerated the pace of writing, accelerated the progress of the plot, and offered the best words I could to my brothers.) ）

"Oh? Him! Lian Zining patted his head and remembered.

It's no wonder that Lian Zining can't remember that Gain, the sailor of the Wuyi Army, compared to the strong army infantry cavalry, could not be more accurate to describe it in four words.

Since Lian Zining's secret agreement with Zakhrev, he has begun to build a water division, because he knows that the Russians are different from the Jurchens, and the Jurchens have only regarded themselves as a local government until now, and this definition of themselves means that they only occasionally invade the Ming Dynasty in a small fight, but the Russians' desire for territory has always been extremely strong, and they will do everything they can to invade the south, invade the south, invade the south!

Therefore, in the future, there will certainly not be much chance of peaceful coexistence with the Russians.

And once that time comes, we must grasp the main artery of the Songhua River, this broad artery is like the Yangtze River during the confrontation between the North and the South, and the areas on both sides of it are not only the most fertile and fertile land in the Northeast, but also the most critical and convenient transportation link. In the Northeast, where there are almost no artificially constructed roads, river transportation is a good option.

And it is also convenient, saving a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

Therefore, forming a strong sailor is an inevitable choice.

In the past few days, Xie Deqing of the Recruits Department has been ordered to form a naval army, but there has been little progress.

So just conscripted all the fishermen on this section of the Songhua River into the army, so that he could be regarded as setting up a shelf for a sailor. There were more than 700 fishing boats, and 2,000 soldiers had been turned from fishermen. Not even a single guard is enough.

These two sailors of the Thousand Households have always been under the name of the Recruit Department. The scale is too small, and the role is even more limited, and Zining doesn't even have the desire to connect his hands

These fishermen still do their own errands, fishing, and when there is something to do, they will gather them together.

That Shihuazhang is a hundred households that manage these fishermen, and he was originally a highly respected one among the fishermen, which can be regarded as complementing each other.

After Lian Zining learned about the incident from Wang Hu, he met him on the second day after returning to the Northeast. Let him keep an eye on the big boat swimming up the lower reaches of the Songhua River, and report it immediately if there is a situation.

With Shihua Zhang's courage, he dared to come over to report if he had eyebrows.

"You tell him to wait for a while, and then the officer will see him." Lian Zining commanded.

"Yes, sir!" Chen Tong took the order and took his leave.

Lian Zining got out of bed in her clothes, Amber also woke up, stood up strongly, and instructed the maid who was waiting outside to get washing water. Wash your face, then dress Lian Zining and comb her hair, and dress it neatly.

I washed my face with hot water, and the whole person was a lot more sober. The head is less groggy.

Lian Zining said to Amber: "You were also tired last night, and you have nothing to do left and right, so let's rest." ”

Amber blushed. pinched him lightly, and said angrily: "Why does the master say everything?" ”

Lian Zining laughed. When I went out to the front yard, I saw a person wearing hundreds of clothes waiting outside the study. The complexion is dark, and you can smell a fishy smell on your body from afar.

Lian Zining is nothing, they are all soldiers under his command, and he treats them equally.

Seeing Lian Zining coming, Shi Hua Zhang hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "Little Shi Hua Zhang, knock to see the adult." ”

Lian Zining smiled faintly: "Get up, let's go in and talk." ”

"Yes, sir!" Shi Hua Zhang answered and followed Lian Zining in. It was the first time he had come to this kind of place, and he was very nervous, his body was a little trembling, and he didn't even dare to lift his head when he looked at the water-milled green bricks under his feet.

Lian Zining sat down, and the maid came over with a cup of tea, and took a sip gently: "Since you have passed, it must be that the official ordered you to have some eyebrows?" ”

"Yes." Shi Hua Zhang replied, and said respectfully: "Since that day the lord ordered, the little one sent people to the east every day to patrol one or two hundred miles to the east, and this evening I really ran into them, three big boats, drink, that boat is really big, the small ones who have not seen are so frightened that they can't speak, and there are some small boats, said to be small, but also bigger than our fishing boat!" ”

"Hmm." Lian Zining nodded, thinking that they were good.

"One more thing." Shi Huazhang glanced at Lian Zining and said cautiously.

"What's wrong?" Lian Zining asked.

"The little subordinates reported that there were some scars on those warships, and one of the ships was burned to the black."

Lian Zining's brows furrowed slightly, what's going on? Could it be that you ran into pirates? That's because the armed forces of these ships are already quite strong, and who dares to provoke them?

He pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "You go down!" ”

"Yes, the little one." Shi Huazhang kowtowed, and was about to retreat. Lian Zining suddenly stopped him, and said lightly: "You are also a serious general of my Wu Yi Army, and you will call yourself the last general in the future, understand?" ”

Shihua Zhang was stunned at first, and then felt that his eyes were sour, and a heat flowed through his heart, so he hurriedly responded.

—————————— Dividing Line——————————

On the river, the scenery on both sides of the river is only an endless dense forest, an endless, green dense forest. From time to time there are bursts of birds and apes crying and beasts roaring in the northeast forest, the river has become very stable here, the boat is moving, and there are big fish jumping out of the water from time to time on the side of the boat, which is extremely fat.

The northeast is the deciduous forest and evergreen forest interspersed with tree species, this is late spring, the season of all things, those birch, poplar, willow branches have sent out tender green buds, pine is thick dark green, at a glance, light green tender green dark green alternately, just like a high-quality Western oil painting, obviously out of a well-layered beauty.

The Songhua River is wide enough, and there are no problems with three large ships walking side by side, separated by almost a mile in between. In the middle of three large ships. It's the boats.

It was early in the morning, and the sky was shining.

The biggest horse clipper. Tables and chairs were set up on the deck, and Chen Yu, Tachibana Chiyo, and Rongyue were sitting and chatting.

We're almost to the ground. After more than a month of arduous sailing at sea, the three of them were very relaxed.

Tachibana Chiyo stared at a pair of big eyes and swept around, his face full of surprise that could not be hidden: "Is this the Songhua River?" It's so wide, it's like the sea! ”

Rongyue smiled: "The Songhua River is the largest water system outside the Guan, and it is naturally extremely wide. It's a pity that when we entered the estuary a few days ago, it was night, otherwise, we could see that it was indeed an ocean. ”

Chen Yu rolled his eyelids: "You know so much. ”

Rong Yue said lightly: "I have read more books, so naturally I know more." ”

Chen Yu smiled. Stop talking. Although his name is elegant, he is actually a big old man, he is illiterate, and later Lian Zining opened a literacy class for senior officers, which can be regarded as a rough literary and ink, but it is not realistic to expect him to read many books. After all, not everyone is like Nurhachi, almost hungry for knowledge.

Rongyue said to Chiyo: "You can rest assured, sail here." Except for going upstream, it is no different from the sea, and when you go back this time, you can not only come here when you buy ordnance. Those merchant ships or something. You can also come directly to buy some special products and ship them back, which is a huge profit. ”

Tachibana Chiyo nodded repeatedly.

Chen Yu said impatiently: "How far is it to get there?" These days on the boat shake the feet are weak. ”

"Come on, didn't you listen to the fishermen? That's just over two hours. Rongyue looked westward, and said softly in her heart: "My lord." I have lived up to your expectations by opening this route. It will definitely bring a great turning point to the Northeast and to Wu Yijun. ”

I don't know why, when she thought that she was going to see Lian Zining later, her heart was pounding, and her face couldn't help but flush.

A string of heavy footsteps interrupted her reverie, and two cooks came up with a grill, on which turned out to be a whole yellow sheep, which was already almost roasted, and the skin was browned, and some of them had been roasted crisply cracked, and they were bubbling with grease outside, which made people's appetite move when they looked at it. It was followed by a couple of chefs with trays in their hands, but on the plates were all kinds of stir-fried vegetables.

The leading cook smiled and said, "Those fishermen are really kind-hearted, and when they knew that we had been sailing at sea for some days, they caught a yellow sheep and sent it, and when they learned that there were female dependents on board, they also asked someone to pick wild vegetables and send them." How many nobles would you like to try? ”

Chen Yu couldn't wait for a long time, picked up the scimitar next to him and unloaded a yellow sheep's hind leg, and didn't care about the heat, took a big bite, and cocked his thumb while chewing with oil in his mouth: "Fresh and tender, Lao Liu, there is really you!" Damn, it's really green to eat fish on the boat these days. ”

Tachibana Chiyo looked at the plates of greens, and her eyes lit up.

Seeing those fishing boats leading the way in front of the big boat, a smile appeared at the corner of Rongyue's mouth, the adult really had a heart, knowing that we were coming, he also specially photographed the fishing boat to cruise here and wait, but how did he know that we were coming?

If you look closely, you can see that most of the ships in the fleet are unharmed, except for the pot-bellied cargo ships that carry silver ingots.

This has to start with the encounter with the pirate ghost king that day.

I have to say that Chen Gui is indeed very unlucky, although this fleet only has three large ships with combat effectiveness, but these three ships only play a role that is larger than the average thirty small warships, as for the powerful firepower, not to mention. He also thought well, at the beginning, he first destroyed the strongest horse clipper with fire, and concentrated his forces to attack the ironclad ship of the Tachibana family, which did not seem to have much ability to engage in broadside combat.

But plans are always interlocking, and the first part of his plan went wrong. The Zhenshan is not a soft persimmon that everyone kneades, and it is extremely strong in long-range and close combat.

The clap rod system is like a big mast, more than ten zhang long, the boulder is placed on the top, and the lower roller is used to protect its reversal, and when the official military ship is near, then the inverted cypress rod is broken. The clapper pole on the Zhenshan is more than 40 meters long, and the thickness of the three people hugging each other is made of extremely fine and dense wood after soaking in tung oil, and a heavy iron plate is fixed on the head, and the front of the iron plate is also filled with triangular iron thorns more than a foot long. This time I shot it, and the power can be imagined.

Shoot the stick down. A fireship was directly shot to pieces.

After a few taps of the rod, the sea was full of floating old wood chips and firewood. And the only one that slipped through the net. It was for the soldiers to push away with a pusher, but it didn't play a role.

Chen Gui underestimated the firepower of this fleet, which led to disastrous results, of course, a catastrophe for the pirate forces.

When his small ships went to the ironclad ships of the Tachibana family that were besieging them, the cannons on the three warships fired in unison, and at that moment, at least more than two hundred cannons let out a deafening roar.

In just one round, Chen Gui's fleet lost a quarter. It scared the hearts of these pirates.

Chen Gui saw that the situation was not good, and knew that he had gnawed hard bones, but he was also decisive, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat. But these pirates were really greedy and dying, and when they retreated, they should have taken advantage of the fact that the big ship was inconvenient to catch up with the small ship, and robbed a cargo ship and fled.

This makes Chiyo very distressed, you know. In that ship, there were more than 100,000 taels of silver!

This naval battle also came to an end.

When the sun was up, they finally saw Zhenyuan Mansion.

That one stands on the south bank of the Great River. The city walls are like iron casting, tall and majestic like a mountain.

Just like all the people who saw Zhenyuan Mansion for the first time, they were all stunned.

Needless to say, such as Tachibana and Chiyo, these Fuso people. At this time, Fusang, the princes are divided. Many of the cities are still made of wood, and where can there be manpower and financial resources to build such a big city?

Even Chen Yu and Rongyue, who had seen the weather in the capital, couldn't help but be shocked.

I drove forward for a while. It was already a place where the distance was only one or two miles, and then I saw a small boat speeding towards this side, and when I got closer, the person on the boat shouted: "Wu Yibo has come to the dock to greet the three of you, please dock quickly." ”

When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked, and when they looked from a distance, they saw many people gathered in a neat queue at the location of the dock, and they could also see the tall red Luo umbrella cover.

Rong Yue's heart jumped up, and Chen Yu arched his hand with a smile on his face: "Please reply to your lord, let's come down!" ”

Zhenyuanfu Wharf is on the riverside in the north of the city, and it is three miles east of the north gate.

This is a natural river bay, recessed into the bay within a radius of a few miles, Lian Zining is digging sand and dredging, and the backlog of silt at the bottom of the river is cleaned up, and a deep-water wharf is built here. The water here is five meters deep, almost as deep as the center of the river, much deeper than elsewhere. In order to prevent the river wall from collapsing, Lian Zining built many protective measures with large bluestones, almost enclosing the river port.

After all these years of construction, the pier is almost complete.

There are dozens of cement piers with a diameter of more than three meters erected in the river, plus the underwater part is six or seven meters high, and the position where the hundreds of meters long trestle leads to the center of the river is hundreds of meters, which is enough to accommodate dozens of large ships to dock at the same time.

As for the entire river port, it is enough to accommodate hundreds of ships.

The closer the big boat turned out, they thought that they would have to put a small boat to go ashore, but they didn't expect to get down as soon as they approached the pier and boarded the boat.

Then I saw three figures disembarking from the board, surrounded by a group of guards, and walking along the trestle towards this side.

Lian Zining, who was sitting under the cover of the red umbrella and drinking tea, took a look, could it be the three of Rongyue?

Lian Zining stood up and looked at the three people who were getting closer and closer with a smile.

When they got closer, Chen Yu and Rongyue bowed down together: "My subordinates have seen adults!" ”

Chiyo looked behind Lian Zining and exclaimed in surprise: "Nona! ”

Ye Nai pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't answer, Lian Zining glanced at her and said with a smile: "Go ahead, catch up with them." ”

"Master Xie." Nona happily responded, came out of the crowd, and quickly ran towards Chiyo.

"Get up! Hahahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time, let me see if you're gone. Lian Zining smiled happily, and stepped forward to personally help Rong Yue and Chen Yu, he was only thinking about helping Rong Yue, but he didn't expect her to stand up by herself as soon as she pressed Lian Zining's arm.

It's really a help.

Lian Zining was stunned for a moment, and then his face returned to normal, looked the two of them up and down, and said with a smile: "You two have made a great contribution this time!" This official has to reward you well! ”

Chen Yu was praised by Lian Zining. Just a giggle.

Rong Yue glanced at Lian Zining, his body shape had not changed. It seems to be a little darker, but the dignity of the superior on his body. But it's even more intense, so that people don't dare to look at it when they stand in front of them!

Rong Yue smiled lightly: "If the adults can say this, we will be happy in our hearts." ”

She then turned straight and said solemnly: "It is our share to die for the adults, so what reward can we talk about?" ”

Lian Zining was stunned at first, then laughed again and again, and nodded at her: "You!" ”

But I was a little happy in my heart. There are very few people who can joke with him like this now.

He smiled, turned around and beckoned, "Chen Tong, arrange for them to stay." ”

"Alas, sir." Chen Yu said with a smile: "Our brothers in the army have been wandering around on the boat for a long time, and their feet are weak, or let them ...... too."

"What a big deal!" Lian Zining patted him on the shoulder: "Pass the order, the brothers who came here this time will be given fifty taels of silver each." You arrange the manpower on duty. The rest of the people, Chen Tong, took them to Maqiao Town to have a good time, the brothers have been floating on the sea for a long time, and it is not easy. ”

Chen Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

The corner of Lian Zining's eyes skimmed to the end of the corner of his eye, and Chiyo took Ye Na and came over here. He said, "You go down to rest first, and the official will take over the guests first." ”

I haven't seen him for about two years, and Chiyo has become even more beautiful. If she was still a little childish before, then she is already a big girl now. She was tall, half a head taller than the samurai retainers standing beside her.

Lian Zining arched his hand and said, "The lord of Pear Blossom is polite. ”

He is the Earl of Wuyi, who is a superlative. The grade is equivalent to that of the county lord of the country.

Chiyo gave in and returned the courtesy: "Wu Yibo is polite." ”

She glanced at Ye Na, who had already stood back beside Lian Zining, sighed, and said with a smile: "Lord Lian, thank you, you can see that Ye Na has been doing well during this time. ”

Lian Zining raised his eyebrows: "Why did the Lord of Pear Blossom say this, Ye Nai is the concubine of the official, and the official should naturally take good care of it." ”

Ye Na listened to Lian Zining's words, and smiled sweetly beside her, her face overflowing with sweetness.

When Chiyo saw it, his heart was unprovoked, and he sighed: "When Ye Na left with him, I thought he would abuse and hold a grudge against Ye Na, but I didn't expect it to be so good to Ye Na. Ye Nai is blessed, I found such a good Lang Jun, what about me? If you go back this time, it's time to marry Xiong Zongmao, right? Alas, I get annoyed by looking at his face. ”

Lian Zining naturally didn't know the thoughts of these children, so he stretched out his hand: "Lord Lihua, please inside, Fusang is thousands of miles away from my Songjiang, it is rare to come once, and Lian can be treated with a good life." ”

Chiyo nodded sullenly and followed him towards the city.

In the grand banquet hall of the General's Mansion, a banquet has already been set up.

The dishes of the banquet are precious and very northeastern, such as fatty and tender yellow mutton, delicious sand and half chicken, fragrant black bear's paws, crispy and fragrant rhino nose, flying dragon hanging soup, scallion oil deer tendon, iron sparrow cooked in Hash leech oil, and fresh vetch, all of which are naturally grown game.

These things are out of the customs, and it is not so easy to eat so completely in other realms. Some wealthy families have such financial resources, but they can't make the bear's paws and rhinoes so fresh. Not to mention the fact that these princes of Fuso not only exploited the peasants to the death in order to fight, but also did not eat very well themselves, and Tachibana Chiyo really did not miss such delicacies.

There are not many people who accompany the wine, only about twenty, but they are all the old brothers of the original Chenzi Institute, and they are very familiar with Rongyue Chen Yu.

They hadn't seen Chen Yu and Rongyue for nearly two years, so they were naturally extremely happy, eating and drinking during the banquet, and they were all embarrassed when they talked about the events of the year. Speaking of which, Rongyue has a good relationship with them, because although Rongyue is a woman, she is in charge of things, and she doesn't see herself as a woman, but she has a brotherly friendship.

When Chen Yu was ordered to be stationed in Fusang, he was the rank of deputy Qianhu, and everyone had similar military ranks, but now seeing that people are becoming commanders and generals one by one, they are naturally red-eyed. However, he is also an open-minded person, and he also knows that adults must think of this layer and will not treat themselves badly, so he just thinks about it and no longer minds.

A few people staggered and feasted.

Today's guest is Tachibana Chiyo, her status is quite noble, and it is naturally Lian Zining as the main escort.

It's just that this princess Chiyo doesn't seem to be in high spirits, and most of the banquets are eating and drinking, or she is looking at a place in a daze.

Lian Zining is also inexplicable, but this is fine, so as not to waste his tongue.

Halfway through the meal, Chiyo excused himself to leave under the pretext of being unwell, and Lian Zining simply mixed with everyone and talked about what happened when he was the first Chenzi, reminiscing about the year, and it was also a pleasure.

After they were full of wine and food, the rest left, but Chen Yu and Rongyue were called to the study by Lian Zining.

Rongyue reported to Lian Zining about the big and small things that happened in Fusang during this time, no matter how big or small, and finally talked about the pirates she met when she came and the purpose of this trip to the Tachibana family.

"That ghost king pirate, we can't control them now, and we will clean him up when the sailor is established in the future, and dare to rob our Wu Yijun's silver, so he can't be tired of it." Lian Zining snorted coldly.

Rongyue smiled: "The silver is still on the boat of the Tachibana family, and the adults regard it as their own?" ”

Lian Zining laughed: "They came to beg us to buy something, so naturally they already have something in their pockets." Take that list and I'll take a look. ”

Rongyue handed Lian Zining the list of materials to be purchased listed by Tachibana Thunder God, and Lian Zining shook it open and looked back and forth twice, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"A thousand warlike horses, a thousand pairs of cotton armor, a thousand pairs of horse armor, a thousand stirrups, a thousand riding spears, a thousand swords! 10,000 good bows, 300,000 arrows! I also want 10,000 flintlock guns, 1,000 sample Franc cannons, 500 medium Franc cannons, 1,000 flintlock muskets of lead bullets, 50,000 shells of the Sample Franc cannon, and 30,000 shells of the Medium Franc cannon! Also, 100,000 catties of copper, 100,000 catties of fine iron, and 50,000 catties of lead? ”

Lian Zining gasped: "Drink, what is Tachibana Thor going to do?" Is it against the emperor? ”

He looked at Rongyue and asked, "You have been in Fusang for a long time, and you know better than me, what do you think about this?" ”

"He's going to war." Rong Yue's face was contemplative: "Big battle! ”

He took out a map of the entire territory of Fuso and spread it on the table, pointed with his finger on it, and said: "In the fifty-first year of Zhengde, the Tachibana Michiyuki Xingbing army captured the Izumo country, the Oki country, and the Hakuki country, and completely destroyed the temple family. In the 52nd year of Zhengde, he raised an army to the east and captured the Urakami Province of the Ukita clan, the Umango Province of the Hatano clan, and the Uragami Province of the Hatano clan. In the first month of the fifty-third year of Zhengde, he took down the Red Song Kingdom of the three long friends. Now he has occupied China (the southwest corner of Fuso's main island of Honshu), with 60,000 mercenaries and more than 15,000 elites, and he is already a famous name in the whole of Fuso. And before he came, he personally confessed to his subordinates that this time he bought these armors in order to use troops in Kansai to attack Hashiba Hideyoshi. ”

"Attack Hideyoshi Hashiba? Hideyoshi Hashiba? Lian Zining whispered the name, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

In Lian Zining's time and space, for almost all the people in the East Asian geopolitical circle in later generations, this name is like thunder, and few people may know him Yushiba Hideyoshi, but there are even fewer people who don't know his other name - Toyotomi Hideyoshi. (To be continued.) )
