Beiyang new warlord

It’s still the same small yard, except that there are more bluestone stools. Yuan Chonghuan is still wearing the worn-out long gown, babbling and shaking his head on it, and the six children below are shaking their heads and carrying books. One piece, the Japanese son Kunmatsumaru who was brought back by Mao Jue was the one who carried the most energy.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year. The little girl Qiandaiji seems to have grown up a lot, and she has a little bit of mature femininity. Now she seems to have adapted to the current life. She didn't follow her. Busy with chores together, hanging a piece of starched clothes in the yard.

I really don't know if Yuan Chonghuan is old and not ashamed. Occasionally, a little girl looks over, her big cute eyes are full of admiration.

It's just that this peace was broken with the arrival of Mao Jue.

"General!"

From far away, Liu Shi eagerly greeted her, obviously full of reluctance, but Qian Daiji also followed suit and gave her a blessing.

"Greetings, Greetings to the Bandit General"

After returning to the world from the principles of the Four Books and Five Classics, Yuan Chonghuan also stood up and taught those children a lesson.

"Come here first for today's study, go back and think about the truth of the university article, go home!"

"Yes, sir!"

No matter what era, school is the happiest thing. A few children happily left the yard with their manuscripts in their arms, and watched them go. Yuan Chonghuan walked out of the yard in a lazy way.

However, seeing Sun Yuanhua, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes burst into fiery brilliance in an instant.

"Master Sun! Why are you here?"

His voice trembled a little. He was looking forward to it, and asked cautiously.

"Could it be that the court, Your Majesty, is willing to reactivate Yuan?"

Such a long time has not extinguished Yuan Chonghuan's fiery political ambitions. To put it nicely, he is serving the country wholeheartedly. To put it bluntly, he is an official fan. Interrupted, Sun Yuanhua's old face was full of emotion and helplessness, and he cupped his fists helplessly.

"The old man is also a Zuoqian now. Thanks to General Xiao Mao, he is just a dead man lingering on his last breath. He is no longer Mr. Sun!"

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Having said that, Yuan Chonghuan staggered as if he had lost his soul, and then cupped his fists wordlessly, but said nothing.

Mao Jue's bad taste, captive breeding plan here is the first step, he doesn't care about Yuan Chonghuan's appearance, he just smiled and clapped his hands, and said in a high voice.

"Since the two are old friends, it's better to live next to each other. I'll have someone clean up the yard next to me in a while. Mr. Sun, I've wronged you!"

"Where? Thank you, General Xiao Mao, for placing it!"

Chapter 224. The Rich Neighbor

Mao Jue's level is high enough, Denglai Dao plus four Juren, seven or eight young ladies from wealthy families came to grow tobacco leaves for him, next to Yuan Chonghuan's small yard, there are too many Sun family members, and Sun Yuanhua was divided into two A yard, more than [-] acres of land, among the four scholars, Sun Hedou, carrying hoes with ugly faces, Mao Jue swaggered away.

In fact, Sun Yuanhua's family is not important. Now Dongjiang's firearms level is much higher than that of Sun Yuanhua's Dengzhou. He is a former governor, and Mao Jue can't count on him to work for him. Saving him is just because of his unjust death in history. Satisfy your collection addiction.

Even the famous Yuan Chonghuan was not important. What really mattered was the Japanese orphans and widows who moved here and lived with Yuan Chonghuan. So after Sun Yuanhua was settled, Mao Jue came back from a stroll.

However, General Mao, who was popular everywhere in Tieyi, turned out to be a dog in Yuan Chonghuan's house.

"Hey, move your feet!"

In the courtyard, Yuan Chonghuan, who was more hopeful and more disappointed, sat down in front of the stone table sourly like a lost soul. He actually drank a little wine, and Qian Daiji, a dead girl, turned around with a big broom. Sweeping under Mao Jue's feet, the appearance is definitely not sweeping the floor, but to sweep him out. Fortunately, after tossing Mao Jue for two steps, the girl backed away angrily from the room, and did not let the dignified Lord Mao Suffering from "the humiliation of a girl", she was kicked out of the house.

"I've seen General Xiao Mao!"

Still holding a large box of tobacco leaves and rolling papers in her hand, as well as several packed cigarette boxes, the attitude of this martial arts master lady seemed much more friendly today, and she bowed respectfully there.

"It's rare for General Xiao Mao to visit the humble house. I have prepared some tea and water. I would like to invite the general to come in and talk about it. Is it possible?"

"I dare not refuse my kindness"

I really want to find out what the identity of this family is. Although Mao Jue was not in Dongjiang this year, Adelena was not idle. Some of the Japanese books were translated under her order, and they were all military Hualu, the things recorded are really incredible, there are military supplies, laws and regulations, punishments, and promotions, but they don't match any of the famous names known today, and the scale of the records is too large.

Mao Jue already faintly felt that the certificate of honor that Li Yuanyi threw to him might be able to pry an extremely important chess piece of the Wa Kingdom.

Mao Jue naturally wished for some words to come up with, so he followed suit.

It was still on the kang, but now it was paved into tatami mats, and a small wooden stove was burning on a small wooden table for making tea. Indeed, a strong tea fragrance came to the face, and this smell was still familiar to Mao Jue.

The taste of the matcha cake of later generations.

Typical Japanese-style matcha, don't look at the old lady's youth, but her movements are very skillful and elegant, elegantly brewing tea, elegantly pouring the pot, and elegantly presenting it to Mao Jue, just looking at the light green tea For the tea soup, Mao Jue suppressed his appetite and didn't take a sip at all. He just stuck it to the corner of his mouth, and immediately put it back on the table.

It is imperative to guard against others! These days, Doctor Qing's family will not eat any foreign food when they are away. Before the emperor eats, the eunuchs have to try it a dozen times.

Afraid of poison!

After all, the origin of this family is unknown, so Mao Jue had to be on guard.

She didn't take it seriously either, the martial arts expert old lady didn't look at the cup of tea at all, instead she looked at Mao Jue's face with hale and hearty eyes.

"I heard that the general thundered and defeated Nagasaki in one fell swoop, and gained a lot. I am here to congratulate the general!"

These words made the corners of Mao Jue's mouth twitch slightly, he was a robber, he went to beat up your country, robbed the money, and made him a slave, instead of being angry, the old lady came to congratulate herself, It feels awkward no matter what.

"It's just Japanese pirates. I have no choice but to harass Li Chao's coast!"

If you become a robber, you have to set up an archway. Mao Jue slapped his hand lightly, trying to put gold on his face. This old lady is also very knowledgeable, nodding her head with a smile on her face.

"What the general said is very true. Some clowns and Japanese pirates' henchmen, the general annihilates them, is to eliminate harm for the people! I also know a hiding place of the Japanese pirates here, and send it to the general!"

As she said that, the old lady handed over a hand-painted map with both hands. When she opened it for the first time, Mao Jue's eyes couldn't help flickering twice.

Although it is Japanese Hiragana characters, it still carries the shadow of Chinese characters, and the words of Sado Gold Mine are clear to his eyes.

Sado Island is approximately in the northern part of Honshu Island. Although it is farther away, it is also within the strike range of the Dongjiang Army Navy, and the map also shows the defensive position, terrain, garrison, and gold storage. According to this scale, it is definitely the shogunate It is a great source of income and full of profits, but if you hit here, it is tantamount to stabbing the hornet's nest of the Japanese country.

The old lady really gave herself a big beehive full of honey, seeing her meaningful appearance, she couldn't help it, so Mao Jue simply made the point clear.

"Your Excellency, Mao admits that his actions are indeed not open and aboveboard, but the current situation is like this, so no wonder Mao!"

"Last time Mao captured Naoshima Naoshima, the clan's patriarch of the Nabeshima family. The Nabeshima family offered [-] gold, and Dongjiang was willing to let him go back. Your gift is more than [-] gold. If you are willing to return to Japan, you can Self-reported family, Mao will be sent back on a special boat, and will not make things difficult!"

He wanted to get out the details of the family, but unfortunately, the old lady didn't take the bait at all, but smiled meaningfully.

"General Xiao Mao thinks this gift is eye-catching?"

"certainly!"

"The old man wants to use this as a dowry, how about asking General Xiao Mao to marry Chiyohime?"

Mao Jue almost didn't spit it out. Is he going to have a good luck or a bad luck this year, and they all want to hang him as a door-to-door son-in-law?There are two more girls in the family, which has made him very uncomfortable. Marry another Chiyohime?Subconsciously turning her head away, the little girl was sweeping the grape trellises, while flirting secretly, all her attention was on Yuan Chonghuan. If this girl married home, she would not talk about the old Yuan next door, or she would have to be like Daiyu It seemed that he would have to bury flowers and mourn autumn every day, or fight every day. Seeing Yu Leer and Yu Leer was enough trouble for him. Subconsciously, Mao Jue quickly shook his head.

"Chiyohime has a noble status and comes from a famous family. I'm just a little side general of the Ming Dynasty. How dare I climb high?"

Obviously showing disappointment at Mao Jue's perfunctory, this old lady who is a master of martial arts is also the master who doesn't see rabbits or hawks, she simply shook her head.
