2.114 Major events sorted out, goodbye Zhao Min

"Brother Guo is gone?" Deng Feng looked at the figure who was already a mile away. An ordinary carriage and a maroon BMW were all that Guo Jing took away. In the carriage was Hua Zheng, himself. He was riding a BMW, which was a descendant of the "little red horse" that had been with him all his life. Then there was the old man who drove the carriage, an old servant who entered the Guo Mansion because he was disabled during the defense of Xiangyang. In addition, There is no one else.

This is the first time Deng Feng has returned to Xiangyang in five years.

"Forgive me, Sword King. Although there is a reason for what happened, Zhu really doesn't know what to say." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Deng Feng with a strange expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang's current strength and status are completely different from those five years ago.

More than four years ago, when Deng Feng was still nursing his internal injuries and had not shown up for a few days, with the financial resources of Yaowang Valley, the connections of the Lu family of Jiangyin, and of course the official activities of the Lu family of Jinling, the commander of the Jingzhou Guard made Zhu Yuanzhang swapped positions with Lu Wende, the commander of the Xiangyang Guards. In order to compensate Zhu Yuanzhang for being transferred to the front line, he was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Xiangyang Guards. After that, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength began to develop by leaps and bounds.

At this time, the semi-firearms troops originally belonging to the Jingzhou Guard and entrusted to him by Deng Feng had expanded to nearly [-]. They were the absolute backbone of the entire Xiangyang city defense. Can the flintlock rifles withstand the Tatars' elite cavalry in a field battle?This question is difficult to answer.But if it is used to defend the city, it will be difficult to defeat ten times the enemy. This has been proved by the Tatars, using more than [-] corpses with lead bullets as evidence!
There are more than 10000 flintlock guns. As long as one-third of them are posted on the north wall facing the Tatars, no amount of infantry can hope to rush up. After all, the width of the city wall is limited, and with the help of cold weapon troops, the neat rows of guns The sound has become a lingering nightmare for all Tatars.No matter how brave the soldier is, he will never try to rush forward. After finally touching the edge, there is a muffled sound and a body falls from the top of the city.

Even because the casualties were too great, it was difficult for the Tatars to organize an attack, because no one dared to charge at the fusiliers on the city wall!

As for morale.
"You tell the translator, what is morale, what is called morale, what is called morale!" came the roar from Kublai Khan (broken sound).

After Zhu Yuanzhang officially transferred to Lu Wende, Guo Jing strangely handed over nearly [-] elite soldiers who originally belonged to the Xiangyang garrison. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, it did not prevent him from seizing the opportunity to receive them.

After that, he arranged most of the spear infantry and half of the firearms soldiers to continue the defense, and used the other half of the firearms soldiers as the backbone of the grassroots to mix with the original city defense army. He also eliminated about 1 old and weak people and transferred them from the second line outside the city. It took less than three months to complete the integration of troops and horses, and distributed the supporting firearms that had been produced and stored in the warehouse. In less than half a year after taking office, nearly [-] elite firearms troops were integrated. All have completed training and equipment.

Seeing that there could be no problems with the city defense, Guo Jing once again made a move that shocked the world. In addition to cutting off the old and weak and repatriating some of the more than 5 elite members of the Beggar Gang under his control, the remaining approximately 3 He handed over the absolute elite of ten thousand people to his son-in-law, Yelu Qi, the current leader of the Beggar Clan. Guo Jing himself left Xiangyang since then and basically never showed up again.

Except for a few moments when the defense was tight, he spent most of the rest of the time in seclusion in a villa outside Xiangyang City. He didn't even see many guests, only old friends who had been with him for many years, such as the Seventh Son of the Quanzhen City. , the old naughty boy Zhou Botong, or visitors from Dali Duan's Yideng master group, etc., ordinary visits will not be accepted.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang took action again and integrated the less than 5 second-line troops remaining in the military camp outside Xiangyang City. He eliminated nearly 4 old, weak, sick and disabled troops, and the remaining nearly [-] troops were carried out for three months. Intensive training was carried out in accordance with the highest standards of the firearms force. Three months later, a full set of equipment was carried out again. Finally, combat effectiveness was formed half a year later, and the original city defense force began to rotate defense.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang already has about 12 of the world's most elite firearms troops in his hands. In addition to the 15 elite members of the Beggar Clan who were also mobilized by him, the entire Xiangyang [-] elite troops are officially in his hands!
Seeing that Xiangyang was losing control, Jinling resorted to an old method - cutting off supplies!Regrettably, at this time, the entire central and southern region, or as it was called in this era, the Huguang region was basically within the sphere of influence of the Yaowang Valley. To say that it is controlled is nonsense. If it is just to concentrate resources, such as food mobilization, etc., Still no problem at all.

"Huguang is well-trained and the world is rich" may be a bit of bragging, but if it only supports 15 elite troops, it is a big deal.

As for funds, or military pay, one Yaowang Valley will definitely not be able to support them. However, the major wealthy families in Central and South China who saw the problem began to secretly place bets. It is definitely not possible to get them to stand in line, but if they just provide some supplies secretly, it is really not called thing.Coupled with Deng Feng's full support, Zhu Yuanzhang completely established a foothold in Huguang.

As of now, as long as Deng Feng's Yaowang Valley forces don't cause trouble, Zhu Yuanzhang is the worthy king of the Huguang area!
"Brother Zhu, the situation in this matter is a bit complicated." Deng Feng explained with a wry smile, but even he didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled kindly, and kindly said nothing.

As the saying goes, "There is nothing new under the sun."

Five years ago, Huang Rong suddenly left Xiangyang and returned to Peach Blossom Island. No one took her seriously at first. After all, she was originally from Peach Blossom Island.But when she didn't return after half a year and Guo Jing made no move, everyone realized that something was wrong with this world-famous martial arts couple.

If it were just like this, it would be nothing more than a couple separated for unknown reasons. Although this kind of thing is rare in the world, it is not uncommon until a new news comes out.

The twins born to Huang Rong have always been in Yaowang Valley!

Now everyone understands why they broke up!

Seeing that Deng Feng could no longer suppress it, he stopped talking and acquiesced. Shortly after he completely recovered from his internal injuries, he took Xiao Zhao to Peach Blossom on a fast ship belonging to the fleet of Dai Qisi Dragon Cult. Island, and then happened to meet Huang Laoxie returning. The old man originally came back to ask his daughter about the situation, but now he met the real owner. Huang Laoxie said haha
After a big battle, Huang Laoxie discovered with a headache that he had no ability to do anything to Deng Feng. Now that he was on the island, he had no questions to ask about what he originally suspected, so he simply boarded the boat angrily and left, until At this time, Huang Rong came out helplessly and grabbed her father.

Huang Laoxie stayed on the island for three days in total. He was not trying to persuade his daughter to get back together. After all, he had never liked Guo Jing, a silly son-in-law. He just wanted to persuade his daughter not to think too hard.Now that Deng Feng is here, nothing extreme will happen.

Peach Blossom Island was originally Huang Laoxie's territory. Except for a few mute servants, Huang Rong herself was the only one left. Over the next more than a month, Huang Rong was so happy that she doubted her life. One month of living made her lose all dignity and dignity. No, once they were in the peach blossom forest for three consecutive days without even clothes. Deng Feng and Xiao Zhao, the master and servant, had no idea what shame was. All kinds of shameful play that ruined three views made Huang Rong almost dead. I have the courage to go down.
Since she couldn't resist, Huang Rong had no choice but to follow Deng Feng back to Yaowang Valley. At this time, almost two years had passed since Huang Rong returned to Peach Blossom Island alone.

Fortunately, Deng Feng still has a lower limit, no matter when he has never entered Xiangyang City again.

In the past five years, in addition to the core work of practicing hard and improving strength, the main energy of Deng Feng's family was spent on developing the power of Yaowanggu.The first is naturally the human hand.Of the original twelve disciples, two were assigned to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the remaining ten, the worst of them, have now broken through the first-class internal strength. The high-end combat power of the entire Yaowang Valley is simply off the charts, but there are too few people after all.Just three years ago, Deng Feng officially recruited 36 disciples in the name of the second generation disciples, 12 female disciples and 24 male disciples, all aged 6 to 8. They were assigned to the original ten people respectively. Now they have all After completing the basic training, according to the resource supply capacity of Yaowang Valley, it will definitely grow up within ten years, so that Yaowang Valley will not be weak in succession.

Secondly, there are trade routes.In addition to the medicinal materials business, the most important thing now is overseas trade, or Dai Qisi's dragon fleet.Over the past five years, the fleet has owned more than 200 galenic ships with a capacity of 500 to 600, all of which are armed merchant ships equipped with 18 cannons. Even these armed merchant ships have a combat effectiveness that can surpass the vast majority of ships currently on the entire Eastern Sea. There are three streets of warships. They are still in the era of two cannons on the bow.
Then there are 12 third-level battleships with a total of 1300 to 1500 materials. These are all professional warships equipped with 100 to 114 guns. They can have the upper hand against the red-haired pirates of the South Sea, not to mention countless pure transportation purposes. A small part of the lucky boats are for personal use, and most of them are other merchants who pay money to keep safe.

Today, Dai Qisi is recognized by the world as the Queen of Ryukyu. This was officially recognized and issued with a seal by the Manchu Qing court in the capital and Wanyan Gou in Jinling.In this case, the original King of Ryukyu can rest at ease.

Not only that, she also took over the Kyushu Island that originally belonged to Dongyang at Deng Feng's suggestion. The process of capturing it was not complicated. At this time, Dongyang was still in the chaotic Warring States Period. A county-level territory might be able to be divided into ten families. Eight families will fight in a mess.Dai Qisi brought 10000 and a half firearms troops, more than 300 infantry cannons and more than 200 second-rate or above masters, plus the top masters team supported by Yaowang Valley and personally led by Zhang Lingxia, and conquered the entire island all the way. The center of rule was transferred to Kumamoto on the island.

Relying on the original roads and infrastructure, Kyushu Island has now developed a harbor area centered on Nagasaki Port. The huge shipyards, commercial areas and fishing fleets have made the entire Kyushu more prosperous than the Oriental people of this era. scope of understanding.Most of the naval forces are in this harbor. In addition, there are about 30000 semi-firearms troops, which can easily suppress the entire island.

With Kyushu Island as the center, the Ryukyu Islands as the extension, and a huge naval force as the sharp knife, it basically controls the entire East and Southeast Asian waters. It is recognized as the "Dragon King" in the world, and her nickname "Purple Shirt Dragon King" is also officially recognized. Officially called.

Nowadays, the Shenlong fleet has boarded ships across Asia, covering all Asian seaside countries such as Oriental, Koryo, Treasure Island, Java, Sumatra, Annan, Siam, and Myanmar, and boarded ships in Malacca in the real world to trade with the West, " "Every day makes a fortune" is a complete insult to Dai Qisi.Now the annual net income from sea trade has reached about 500 million taels. This is the net balance at the end of the year after deducting various expenses. "As rich as a country" really does not contain any water.

"Sir, are you going to live in seclusion on the grassland, Master Guo? I'm worried that the Tatars will be dishonest." Xiao Zhao, who was beside him, looked at the retreating figure with some sympathy.

"Silly girl, don't forget that there is Princess Huazheng. Besides, Brother Guo hasn't done much in the past five years. He almost gave up on Xiangyang. The Tatars won't go too far." Deng Feng guessed the middle problem.Guo Jing has now entered Xiantian. Such strength cannot be retained by ordinary armies. Instead of offending a terrible enemy for nothing, it is better to pretend not to see him and let him go wherever he wants. At least the enemy will lose a top master.

After exchanging a few words with Zhu Yuanzhang, Deng Feng took Xiao Zhao down the city wall and prepared to visit the Xiangyang branch. It had been too long since he had been here.

"Now that the internal problem has been resolved, isn't the Sword King preparing to launch a counterattack?" The two of them had not taken a few steps when they heard an proud voice coming from not far away. Even though they knew they were at an absolute disadvantage, they still did not make any concessions.

"Long time no see, princess." Deng Feng's words were not pretentious, but it was really a long time since they had seen each other, because the two had not seen each other since Zhao Min left five years ago.

After Zhao Min left last time, the Tatar troops in Chang'an changed direction in less than three months. Intelligence from Deng Feng showed that Zhao Min went back to Xinjiang in person and stayed there for about half a month before returning. Half a year later , preparations were finally completed, and the elite cavalry, which numbered more than 20 and were luxuriously equipped according to nomadic standards, was dispatched. The coalition spent nearly three years sweeping the entire Galdan force.

After that, the entire Ruyang Palace of Chang'an went to northern Xinjiang, with Dihua as the center to control the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Hui tribe swept across the southern Xinjiang, with Korla as the center to control the south of the Tianshan Mountains. Huo Qingtong, the "Green Feather Yellow Shirt", officially married Kukutmul, the eldest son of the Ruyang Palace. The returned tribe was nominally dominated by the Ruyang Palace. The strength of the Ruyang Palace, which was originally centered on Chang'an, was handed over under Zhao Min's suggestion. It was given to Kublai Khan, which almost caused the split between Meng Ge and Kublai Khan.

And these are said very quickly, but it was already more than a year ago.

As for her "happening" to come over when Guo Jing chose to leave, Deng Feng was not surprised at all.The news that Guo Jing was preparing to live in seclusion was not kept secret. As early as three months ago, he began to write letters to all close forces to arrange arrangements, including even Deng Feng. This was also the first communication between the two in five years, but unfortunately it was one-sided. .

There were less than 500 words in the text message, at least [-] of which were about hoping that he would continue to work hard to resist the Tatars. The only paragraph at the end was that he hoped that he would take good care of Huang Rong and his two children.Other contacts include Quanzhen, Beggar Clan and Dali. Basically, they only talk about business matters and have no personal requests.

Then, there was the scene not long ago. He came out of the villa outside the city and just passed by Xiangyang City. He walked north without saying a word. Guo Fu was standing on the city wall. Although she kept sobbing, she didn't say anything. It seemed that Guo Jing It had been arranged long ago; but when she saw Deng Feng, her eyes of hatred almost solidified. The two silly apprentices of Guo Jing also had the same eyes, so Deng Feng could only smile bitterly.Fortunately, Yeluqi nodded apologetically and pulled her away.

Watching Zhao Min step out of the carriage, Deng Feng was frightened by her current state.

"Minmin, you..." Er, who wanted to step forward for a hug, had his open hands stuck in the air. Not only him, but even Xiao Zhao, who was always quarreling with Zhao Min, showed distressed expressions.

The Zhao Min in front of her looked like she was yesterday, but her complexion was surprisingly poor. Her skin was no longer as white as snow as before, but rather gray and even slightly yellow. Her eyes were still stunning, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were. It is visible to the naked eye.Her hair is not the black hair that hung down like a waterfall back then, but is dull and a little yellow, and even the temples are faintly covered with snow and frost.

If it weren't for the still familiar voice, Deng Feng couldn't believe it. This was Princess Shao Min who almost defeated the six major sects in the Central Plains.

"Why, you don't dare to admit it, or you don't want it anymore?" He was still teasing with a smile, but the smile was filled with reluctance that could not be concealed, which made Deng Feng feel as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

"Do you mind explaining it?" Holding back his heartache, Deng Feng hugged Zhao Min and asked with a wry smile, "My information did not say that you are so miserable."

"It's nothing. Galdan is not so easy to wipe out. I just didn't expect that Jinlun Dharma King would take action himself. Fortunately, Ada and Shenjian Hachio blocked it. I was only slightly injured and will recover in a few days... cough cough , it will be fine after a few days.”

Deng Feng clenched the long knife in his hand suddenly, and his finger joints turned white.
