Take a boat to the north along the coast, bypassing the impenetrable Hue that has been besieged. From a distance on the sea, the city of Hue is already within the firing range of the South Central Army, and the soldiers and officers of the South Central Army are coming and going. Running around, making pre-war preparations: with the efforts of the soldiers, the cannons were dragged into the artillery positions by the oxen and horses, and barrels of gunpowder and shells were placed near the artillery positions.

"It seems that the fall of Hue is one of the few."

Counting the number of cannons that could be vaguely discerned by the clairvoyance, Huashan Kugao secretly rejoiced.If I hadn't taken refuge in the Daming South Central Army immediately, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have the treatment of this guest, but would be a prisoner.Think about the officers and soldiers of the Ruan family who were captured that day, it is said that they were all sent to serve as hard labor.

After bypassing Hue and crossing the Lingjiang River, the boat docked, and a group of people either changed to vehicles or walked on foot.Not far away, it was already evening, people stopped under the yelling of Mo Yu and the accompanying team officer, and a building came into view not far away.

"This is the main city of the Great General!"

Rao Huashan Kugao had also followed the Shimadzu family to invade North Korea back then, so he had seen some of the world, but he was a little surprised by the city opposite.

The city is not the traditional Chinese style, the boxy one, but it is in the shape of a five-pointed star relying on the river. There are gun emplacements and turrets on the protruding part. On the turrets are flying huge sun and moon flags and Nanzhong The banner of the official title of President Li of the rebellious armies.Under the city wall, river water was attracted to act as a moat around the city, and there were bursts of noisy sounds faintly coming from the city, which were clearly the sound of people coming and going in the market.On the top of the city, the soldiers patrolling back and forth, the weapons in their hands shone with light and murderous aura against the backdrop of the setting sun.

As the pace approached, the situation in the city could be vaguely seen from the city gate.

Suddenly, a text he read in the Water Margin of Loyalty and Justice appeared in our mind.

"Thousands of households, full of Zhu and Cuihui. Three cities and six streets, full of clothes and crowns. The Phoenix Pavilion is lined with nine layers of gold and jade, and the Dragon Tower is full of glass. The Luansheng Fengguan Boiling Singing Stage, like the silver zither singing and dancing pavilion. The eyes are everywhere. Soldiers and civilians celebrate each other, a peaceful and prosperous year; Quartet business travel traffic, a place where wealth and glory gather. Flower Street and Liumo, many beautiful and famous concubines. Chu Pavilion and Qin Tower, unlimited romantic singers. Hulu, a wealthy family and rich family, sons and grandsons Maixiao. The scenery is incomparably luxurious, only Langyuan and Penglai are suspected. The money and crops are huge, and the people are prosperous. Thousands of dance pavilions and singing stages, tens of thousands of forest palaces and Buddhist temples. In the east and west courtyards, the sound of Shengxiao, drums and music. In the north and south shops, licensed goods and money are everywhere. The young man rides on a golden saddle steed, and the beautiful woman rides on a beaded curtain covered with emerald green."

"Sure enough, it is the main city of General Shangguo! Even Edo is far inferior."

Kawayama Kudaka admired it sincerely.

"Okay! Let's spend the night here tonight. This is the border between our army and the Ruan army. This is a fortress, and the conditions inside are relatively poor. Let's make do with it and continue on our way tomorrow morning!"

Mo Yu's words were no less than a thunderbolt, and the body of Lord Meinongshou was blown to pieces.

"My lord, isn't this the general's main city?"

"What is the main city? I just said that this is the original fortress. To guard against the sneak attack of the Ruan army, set up a fort here and place a battalion of people!" Mo Yu explained impatiently, mocking inwardly , is really a country head of the Japanese country, who is so excited when he sees a fortress, but what should he do when he sees He Jing?

However, Li Shouhan's explanation that day rang in his mind again.

"These dwarves, go back with you, give him whatever he wants to eat, give him whatever he wants to drink. Qinlou Chuguan, Fengyue place, you can do whatever you want. I have already written to Li Chang who is at home. Shi and Uncle Fu. You can also go to the store at will, but remember one thing, it is a deadly order, and none of our factories, barracks, or schools will allow dwarfs to enter!"

Li Shouhan warned Mo Yu with a stern face.

"If a dwarf goes in, he will be killed immediately! If he escapes, you, Mo Yu, won't come to see me!"

Mo Yu didn't understand why these words were said, but the experience of the past few years proved that Li Shouhan's words must be implemented if he understands them, and those he doesn't understand must be implemented as well.It won't hurt you anyway.

"I don't know who the lord of this city is, can you let me go and pay a visit?" Huashan Jiugao was still a little nagging.

Judging from the scale of the city, the owner of this city has at least a stone height of more than [-] stones, and this city, looking at the wall that is more than three feet high, knocks on it, and does not know what kind of stone it is made of.Jiugao thought to himself, relying on his own financial resources alone, he might not be able to build this city wall in several generations.

Mo Yu snorted, feeling a little impatient, "This Yongchang Fort is under the command of my general, there is no city lord, only the garrison and garrison are here."

Oh, it turns out that this is the place directly under the general. Presumably those soldiers who are at the top of the city and on the streets are all directly under the banner of the general, or the mother-in-law. Oh, no, according to the name of the Ming Dynasty, it should be It's a servant.A general with so many servants is indeed a remarkable figure.

Amazing!

Outside Hoi An and Hue, as a senior general, Hua Shan Kugao consciously counted the number and strength of Li Shou Han's team.From those flags, artillery positions, and ships, Jiugao was surprised to find that the strength of General Li in the Hue area should be around 3!No wonder, no wonder he was able to boast so much and promise such a big reward to the Shimadzu family.

If you let him know that within a stick of incense, 1000 people can be used to fight in this Yongchang Fort, and 2000 people can be assembled as a reserve team, how would he feel?

There was nothing to say all night, and after breakfast the next day, the group set off to continue northward.

After passing Yongchang Fort, the atmosphere at the edge of the battlefield became much weaker. Walking on the post road paved with bluestone slabs, people's footsteps became much lighter, and they began to look around at the scenery of the spring.

"My lord, is this road leading to the general's main city?" Kawayama Kudaka originally wanted to ask when he could reach the general's main city today, but he was afraid of embarrassment, so he didn't dare to ask when he would arrive, but turned around and changed. a way.

"Yes, this road is indeed the road leading to Ha Tinh."

"My lord, please excuse me. Before entering the city, can you arrange a place for me to take a bath and change clothes?" Lord Meinongshu remembered the many etiquettes I had seen.

Mo Yu was riding on her pony, feeling a little strange, "We still have to walk for three days to reach Ha Tinh Mansion, are you going to take a bath and change clothes now? Is it too early?!"

Huashan Jiugao couldn't help but gasp in the four-wheeled carriage. In China, such a road can basically only be seen outside the main city of the daimyo and the general.Here, you actually said that you have to go for three days?Even if it is such a stone slab, the material is slightly inferior, but how much money does it cost to build such a long road?I think back then, the Chidao built by the ancestor of my Shimadzu family, Qin Huang Yingzheng, was nothing more than this?

"My lord, I don't know what kind of materials are used to build this road. Why are the stone slabs so long? Such stone slabs are rare." Hua Shan Jiugao sat on the car, looked around, and laughed at himself.

Mo Yu smiled and didn't answer, but just urged the team to move forward.

The wooden wheels of the four-wheeled carriage made regular noises on the post road. In the paddy fields on both sides of the road, farmers could already be seen busy planting seedlings in the paddy fields. The strong seedlings were neatly planted in the hands of the farmers. In the paddy fields, the emerald green lines are really lovely.

Maybe he heard someone passing by on the road, a farmer raised his head, and when he saw the team coming down from the southern front line, "My lord, how is the battle ahead!?" He shouted to Mo Yu who was riding on a Dian horse.

"My lord, go out in person, how can there be any reason to be invincible? We have already surrounded Hue, you just wait until next year, go to Jiulongjiang! There are plenty of good land there!"

"That's good! After I finish harvesting the late rice, I'll go to the General's Mansion to apply for my sons, let them go to Jiulongjiang, and earn a fortune for my grandchildren!"

"Uncle, how's the harvest this year?" Mo Yu was also a little bored, and immediately chatted with the old man, asking questions and answering questions.

"Hi! This is Xintian! It was just opened last year. This year, the master has a new technology. Let us plant rapeseed immediately after harvesting the late rice. The little old man thought, anyway, the land is idle, listen to the master. The words are always true. So I asked my sons to plant rapeseed in the field, and planted more than 20 catties of rapeseed from the General’s Mansion according to the requirements of half a catty per mu of land. Nearly 300 catties of rapeseed have been sown per mu of land! Send it to the oil mill and ask, and you can squeeze out almost [-] to [-] catties of oil! Moreover, the master said, rapeseed straw can also be used to fertilize the field, and the oil that has been squeezed The seed cakes can also be fed to livestock. The little old man and the woman at home have set up a longevity tablet for the general on the ancestral tablet at home!"

The old man chirped and quacked very quickly, and Mo Yu and the old man's questions and answers were also beaming.

"My lord, do you want to have lunch at the little old man's house!? The little old man is asking about some things in the south of the Yangtze River! We have ducks, four or five catties of big fish, and marinated bacon. rice wine."

"Uncle, I won't bother you today. I have a general's business here. When the late rice is harvested, I will definitely come home, ask for a bowl of wine, and tell you about Jiulongjiang!"

The conversation between the two was whispered to Huashan Jiugao by someone who understood in the car, and Master Jiugao was a little terrified when he heard it. bow down!

It turned out to be a first-class figure, a guy with dozens of acres of paddy fields!

However, what Jiugao saw, the almost endless rice fields, made him feel more and more that the general's Shigao might be a terrifying number.After pondering for a while in the car, Mr. Huashan Jiugao was finally defeated by his own curiosity!

"My lord, I don't know how many stone heights can there be in a year like this paddy field?"

"Shi Gao?" Mo Yu was a little confused when he first heard it.

"Oh, this is the language of Xiaguo, which means how much food can be produced by the rice fields in the territory of His Royal Highness the Great General?"

"It depends on what kind of field it is, paddy field or dry field, new field or old field. However, for such a field," Mo Yu shook a beautiful whip flower, "Crack!" With a crisp sound, "Ten stones are worth it! "

Huashan Jiugao felt dizzy for a while, he leaned his head weakly against the wall of the carriage, and signaled Xiao Xing beside him to roll up the bamboo curtains of the carriage to let the outside wind in.

Blowing some warm wind, looking at the dots of green outside, drinking two sips of tea made by Xiao Xing, I feel that my headache is not so painful, Master Huashan Jiugao began to calculate Li Shouhan's strength.

If the three days from Fort Yongchang to Ha Tinh were all paddy fields like this, then Li Shouhan had at least 200 million mu of paddy fields in his hands!According to what his attendant General Mo Yusang said just now, the standard of ten stones is a stone height of 2000 million stones!Even if it is charged according to the benevolent government standard of the public, the four, the people and the six, then the rice that His Royal Highness can use to raise soldiers is as much as 800 million shi!No wonder, no wonder, he was able to promise me a reward of nearly five thousand stones all at once!

It seems that it would be very unwise for us to have a big dispute with him over Ryukyu!The Shimadzu family has almost no hope of winning, so why not negotiate with him and sell that wild land for a good price!

In silence, Mino Mamoru-sama became a little paralyzed.That pretty little surname thought he was blown by the wind, so he hastily lowered the curtains of the car windows and covered the curtains of the carriage, then snuggled into Master Meinongshou's arms, pretending to be coquettish and moaning.If it was changed to the previous day, it would be unavoidable that Master Mino Mamoru would like to hear him sing a song called Backyard Flowers, but today, Master Mino has no interest or mood.

Finally, Mo Yu casually informed Meinongshou, "Old man, Ha Tin Mansion is coming soon!"
