The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 214 Rush to Delivery

Chapter 214 Rush to Delivery
Zhang Zhiji waited for three days on Juehua Island but did not wait for his future brother-in-law, but Huang Mingli, who was not very happy, and several military officers from Heihu.

They were arranged by the owner to stay behind, and Huang Sheng took the fleet to set off for Japan.

This time, General Banner Han Kuan set off with the ship as an infantry archer, intending to take away the heavy infantry and musketeers, leaving only two general banner cavalry archers and hundreds of coachmen to follow them to Juehua Island for business.

Li Dagang was the most depressed. He was appointed by the adults as a trial thousand households when the cavalry was expanding, and led a cavalry archer with a general flag. He was very happy. He was born at night and was a veritable cavalry. He also likes to be a cavalry. If you wish, you can command sixty riding and shooting masters.

There are 54 people in a general banner. The Huang family has more supplementary soldiers, and the officers are not counted. The general banners of the Huang family are all strengthened general banners, while the general banners of most Ming army generals are discounted general banners. A general flag of the family is equivalent to a hundred generals of the Ming army.

Li Dagang commanded the cavalry archers to experience the thrill of galloping on the battlefield again in Fuzhou, but they haven't returned home yet.

On the way, the adults asked Huang Mingli to take the black tiger general flag and his general flag to the east on a horse boat, and the owner took the rest of the people back to Huangjiawan Island to replenish and prepare to sail across the sea to Japan.

This kid has become used to fighting with adults. Knowing that the Patriarch will lead so many people to fight, and it must be a big battle, he felt empty for a while.

Because it was known that Xungui was going to take a boat when he returned, and the cavalry from Shanhaiguan who escorted them did not go to Juehua Island at all.

The Shanhaiguan cavalry is all out, and the defense is very empty. The nobles are on Juehua Island. As long as the sea is not freezing enough to run horses in the freezing winter, they will be safe and sound. Fangshan Customs.

Juehua Island is now the territory of the Huang family. Tunliang City has been reinforced and built into a castle on the original basis. There are four thousand residents here. They have already farmed 4000 mu of land. The water conservancy facilities are complete. It is estimated that the grain produced will be added to Shanghai products. , There is no problem with self-sufficiency for three to [-] people.

Juehua Island produces less important civilian products. The industry is mainly ceramic kilns, and all the pottery pots needed for cans are produced here.

The horse boats that come and go bring a large amount of coal and clay to the island, and the products are transported to the warehouse of Huangjiawan Island for storage.

There are 600 adults on the island, and they are working during the off-season. They are also brave and strong, and they have half an hour of military training at noon every day.

More than 1000 women on the island are intensively cultivating and tending to the limited land. Vegetables are planted in the places that can be used. Juehua Island has too much fertilizer. Every time the coal ash from the ceramic kiln is mixed with human and animal manure, it is an excellent organic fertilizer.

Women are busy every day. Not only do they have to serve fertile land, they also spin wool and knit sweaters to subsidize their families. Their lives are plain, rich and fulfilling.

Zhang Zhiji and a group of nobles came to the island to have nothing to do, wandering around blindly, seeing that Juehua Island has been managed by the Huang family for only half a year, and they are amazed.

Gu Shanhe was the happiest. He met his elder brother Gu Shanhai who stayed here specially to receive Xungui. The two brothers naturally had many topics to talk about after being separated for half a year.

Gu Shanhai looked at his younger brother, who was already as tall as himself, at the sixth-rank military officer's uniform with Biao pattern embroidered on the patches he specially wore for himself.Said with emotion:

"Hey, brother, I shouldn't have stayed at home to do things in the first place. If I had been working as a slave with my lord, I should have been able to become an official."

"Brother, you are an official now! My lord has said that you are civil officers as important as military officers and soldiers."

"How can it be the same? Although I am in charge of thousands of people now, I don't have an official uniform like yours. People don't recognize me!"

"What does it matter if they don't recognize it? It's fine for the Huang family not to recognize it!"

"That's right, there is no one in the Huang family who doesn't know that I, Gu Shanhai, have been with the adults for the longest time, and they are being polite to me."

When the two saw the fleet coming from the sea, they guessed that it was the arrival of the adults and hurried to the pier.

They soon saw Huang Mingli with a bad face, and they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they quickly reported the reception situation of the nobles on Juehua Island.

The two brought Huang Mingli, Heihu and the others to Tunliang City, where they met Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Dacheng and Gao Zhimou who were waiting impatiently.

Zhang Zhiji was quite familiar with Huang Mingli. He had just met Huang Mingli and several of the Huang family's military officers, all of whom were depressed. He felt a little bit in his heart, thinking that something had happened to his prospective brother-in-law.

Hastily asked anxiously: "General Huang, what's the matter with your lord, why didn't he come here?"

The little father-in-law was in a state of turmoil. Seeing that the Huang family's military officials were not energetic, he thought that they were unlucky in their career and suffered a big loss.

Huang Mingli said: "Reporting to my little father-in-law, my lord is involved in important matters, so I let the humble official bring the harvest to deliver the goods, and the extra parts are all at your disposal."

"Ah? Already achieved? How much more? Come on, brother Huang, sit down and talk slowly." Zhang Zhiji was overwhelmed with joy, pulling Huang Mingli and said.

Zhu Dacheng, Gao Zhimou, and all the nobles gathered together and immediately surrounded Huang Mingli, asking this and that.

Hearing that the harvest brought this time was as small as a thousand, everyone smiled happily, and ran to the pier in a swarm.

Seeing the ferocious heads of Jiannu and the piles of armor and weapons, they laughed and laughed at the pier, and finally Huang Mingli handed Zhang Zhiji the four-faced armored battle flag.

What a surprise, no one thought that this trip to Liaodong on a whim would lead to the first military exploits since the Liao incident. They were all petrified.

Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Dacheng, and Gao Zhimou called all the nobles for an emergency consultation, and finally decided to go to Shanhaiguan to discuss with the supervisor and the guarding eunuch about asking for credit.

Huang Mingli got the care of the head of the family and asked the Xungui children to leave the supplies and horses to the Huang family. For this reason, 800 coachmen from the Huang family came, and they also stayed and did not go to the sea.

Because the long-distance shipping couldn't bring the horses, they were left to train and study with Huang Mingli, just to receive the mounts of those dudes and servants. The Huang family would not want their thousand-mile horses, only ordinary war horses and draft horses would do.

Huang Sheng is too bad. In this era, big animals are too important, and horses are the most important thing. These nobles don't know how many good horses there are. It's cheaper to rob them.

Huang Mingli said with a cheeky face, these nobles only kept the good horses he had selected, and the rest were given to the Huang family under the persuasion of Zhang Zhiji and Zhu Dacheng.

The sons of Xungui are all masters who are not in charge of the family and do not know the cost of rice and rice. They smiled and threw away the horses, carts and other supplies, and took a boat to Shanhaiguan to show their prestige. Anyway, they are not hungry, and they can ask the state government for supplies along the way.

The Huang family got nearly [-] horses and a lot of military supplies, and the black tiger who was still grimacing immediately grinned, and happily went to select good horses to replace horses for his archers.
