Beiyang new warlord

At this time, Mao Jue was no longer in Kyoto.

The biggest advantage of turning over to be the master is that you have the final say. One end is closing the port, but the other end is opening the port. In Yumo County, Sado Country, in half a year, a new port that is not inferior to the port of Iki Island stands there.

And even though this is a single-lane port that only connects to the Dongjiang River, it is still bustling and bustling.Don't forget that the first gift used to impress Mao Jue in the restoration of Kaidian was the map of the Sado Gold Mine.

However, at this time, the mining of gold mines has just begun, and it is the Dongjiang grain ship that mainly supports the prosperity here. Since the gold fingers of the crops in the New World have been given to the Japanese country, Mao Jue will naturally spare no effort to plunder. What is left is what is left, and the population of the Japanese, who mainly eat sweet potatoes, is doubled and at the same time strive to be [-] to [-] centimeters shorter.

Among the following grain transport ships, Mao Jue's ship, the Black Pearl, stood out from the crowd. The entire blacked-out hull caught the sun, reflecting a pearl-like brilliance.

"General Xiao Mao, take care all the way!"

Doing a line of love and a line of love is talking about this old Yuan. The others came early to see off the leader. He is still planning to open up wasteland next year, but Mao Jue had to wait for him for more than ten minutes. Bowing respectfully, even Mao Jue couldn't help but roll his eyes helplessly.

"My lord Yuan, I entrust all the affairs of the Japanese kingdom to you, military orders and government orders, you are as good as you say, but before you leave, I still have a task, you must complete it!"

"Oh? General, please order!"

Glancing at Chiyohime, who was a lady with her arms tied and her head bowed down, there was a bit of evil on her face, and Mao Jue said happily as she leaned into Lao Yuan's ear.

"Before Ben will return next year, take Chiyohime quickly! Before we unify the war in Japan, I must handcuff Lao Tzu to make two babies!"

Yuan Chonghuan almost wanted to vomit blood, good guy, Mao Jue usually comes in February and March every year, and when he left this year, he was gone in October. In his mother's five months, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't become a father so quickly even if he wanted to be a father!

However, Mao Jue's remarks were not entirely out of bad taste. This was also a political consideration. The samurai family in Japan obviously did not value blood as much as the Central Plains, just like Kenshin Uesugi, who was famous in the Warring States Period. Uesugi's adopted son, and actually inherited the Echigo guardian generation as the adopted son of his elder brother Uesugi Harumi.

There is also the well-known female samurai Tachibana Chiyo in the Warring States Period, who also inherited the family business by marrying the son of a retainer and recruiting a son-in-law.

So Mao Jue is also a strategy that does not intend to put all eggs in one basket. On the other side, it doesn’t matter that Kunimatsu Maru will not have a son. On the other side, as long as Yuan Chonghuan marries Chiyohime and inherits the prestige created by Mao Jue, they will The heir of the family, might not be able to become the head of the Toyotomi family! Moreover, Dongjiang would feel more at ease if he changed Father Yuan.

Listening to Adelaine's quick and low-pitched explanations, Lao Yuan, whose old face turned blue and white, just knocked down his front teeth and nodded in agreement. Mao Jue was the boss, and supported him with a smile on his face. The escalator boarded the boat.

But on the ship's side, leaning on the railing, he turned his head and grinned again, showing his big white teeth. Lao Yuan's complexion was bitter, but Chiyohime, who had been pretending to be a lady, responded happily and winked her eyes.

It seems that the two have colluded long ago.

This year, there was no trouble in Lee's North Korea. The dispute between the Western People's Party and the Southern People's Party was still confined to the court, and they were afraid of troubles. Ya spent the first year of being raised by his stepmother.

As for the western front, more and more Mongols came to the Yalu River Mutual Market. According to the information obtained from their mouths, Huang Taiji was also busy marrying the Chahar tribe on the grassland, stepping up control of the Mongolian princes, and even this year's year Huang Taiji did not intend to After returning to Shengjing, we have to live on the grassland. The weird peace with Dongjiang can still continue, at least there will be no war until next year's autumn harvest.

As for the town of Dongjiang, the five corps that have been built are also undergoing intense training. Mao Wenlong, who was forced to copy swords again to train his troops, wrote a few letters urging Mao Jue to go back quickly. After all, the corps trained are all pro-military In name, the pro-army must be loyal to the general, which is a rule.

However, what really urged Mao Jue to rush back from the warm hot springs in the country of Wa was the new development last year, in the wild land of Kudao in the far east, now Bitter Leaf Town in Dongjiang.

The Black Pearl turned north directly at Tsushima Island. The angry new housekeeper of the Mao Mansion, Wen Bo’s eldest son Wen Qi, had no choice but to stomp his feet. The beautiful and magnificent scenery of Page Island covered with white snow once again caught Mao Jue's eyes.

Last year it was still a barren place, but this year it was completely different. Dense villages surrounded a bright red city in the afterglow, and the majestic coastline was located.

And just like Xiangyang and Fancheng, on the other side of Hongshuang City not far from Hongshuang River, a smaller town has popped up vigorously. The bustling traffic has brought a lot of new vitality to this barren land.

Among them, there are many Hu Jianren who have a big tongue and are struggling to learn Northeast dialect.The results of Mao Jue's battle with Zheng Zhilong this year were either caused by being abandoned, or in order to gain Dongjiang's trade advantage over the Minhai Sea, thousands of maritime merchants who ran across the southern sea traveled all the way north. When they took root in Dongjiang, hundreds of households with more adventurous spirits chose to settle down in Hongshuang City.

Although this is a barren land, it is also full of treasures, not to mention that no one has ever excavated it. The rich ore veins in various places, only the high-quality wood from the primeval forest, and the rich native products such as forest frogs and fungus, are poured into the pass. Enough for these merchants to make a fortune and dock with the Black Pearl, there are actually two more lucky boats this time.

And what's even more surprising is that Mao Jue hadn't raised Luo Zhige in Yangfu in the capital after not seeing him for more than half a year. He knelt down to greet him at the port. In the ermine cloak, he looks so fluffy that he almost looks like a groundhog. Behind him, the town general who follows him is not Qing Yishui's Dongjiang general when Mao Jue just set off, but there are many more with braids , the local ethnic generals with high cheekbones and sunken eye sockets, and there is even a Caucasian general who is particularly tall here.

It's not just land reclamation, it seems that in the past six months, Luo Zhige's annexation of local ethnic minorities has also achieved fruitful results.

"Meet the general!"

"Picking up paddles for nothing!"

Following Luo Zhige, all kinds of messy accents knelt down on the ground.

It's just that now Mao Jue is so full of one thing that he doesn't even care about etiquette, he hurriedly got off the boat, and directly slapped the prairie dog up, full of joy and haste asked.

"Is that thing really built?"

Also very proud of his achievements, Luo Zhige's horizontally developed old face was also full of smiles, and he bowed respectfully.

"Thanks to General Master Shenwei, I am fortunate to fulfill my mission!"

"General Xiao Mao, what is it? So important?"

Mao Jue has another follower, I don't know if he has taken a fancy to him, he came from the Wa country, Luo Ning also left the business behind, and came back from the Wa country, even if this Jiangnan beauty is wrapped in a fox fur with a high collar, In the bitter north wind, her little face was still flushed, and Adelaena asked curiously when she turned her little face away sourly and looked away.

Originally, Mao Jue planned to stay until November to force Toyotomi Kunimatsumaru's big wedding, but after a letter, he hurried north, Luo Ning was really curious.

It's a pity, just like molesting Adelaine back then, Mao Jue flicked his sleeves mysteriously.

"Buddha said, don't say it!"

"Hmph, stingy!"

This sentence is the three women playing a small temper together.

With more than 2000 troops equipped with flintlock guns and semi-well-trained soldiers, Dongjiang’s military strength is considered to be at its peak on this large northern island. Luo Zhige is also an old Dongjiang. They were all taken back by him, and this guy is still a Buddhist jungler, basically he has never used martial arts.

Now more than 7 refugees who have escaped from the customs have all taken root in this Sakhalin Island. The Red Twin City on this side, plus Mao Lianwei on the other side, is a new city named Fuyin because it is located in the north of the mountain and in the south of Hainan. Dongjiang There are also two cities on this island.

However, Luo Zhige did not attack the Nigro tribe who once killed Dongjiang soldiers and horses and had a blood feud. There is no way, there is too much construction to be done, and since spring, these guys have been wisely migrating to the north of Sakhalin Island , Temporarily out of Dongjiang's attack radius, fighting these natives in the vast primeval forest?Luo Zhige's head has not been caught by the door yet!

But this time, the arrival of Mao Jue is the time to deal with them in one fell swoop!

On the second day of his arrival, in the early morning, Mao Jue led the first regiment, regardless of rest, directly along the Hongshuang River, towards the northern mountain named Bitter Leaf Mountain on the map.

Not only the first group followed, nearly half of the population of Red Shuangcheng was wearing coats, leaving behind the corn sticks at home and the forest frogs drying in the sun, and they also joined the team, men, women and children , more than 2 mighty people, that scene is like a national marathon.

And along the way, local Tu people from Sakhalin Island continued to join in twos and threes. Long before Mao Jue returned to Sakhalin Island, Luozhige sent invitations to all the tribes found on the entire island. These people were either tribal chiefs or tribal aristocracy.

This climb lasted for a full half a day, until [-] noon, when a relatively flat hillside and valley bottom of Bitter Leaf Mountain, the mighty crowd stopped.

This place has obviously been artificially modified. The nearby woods have been cut down, the ground has been trampled to explain, and the snow has been swept away. In the small valley, there is a layer of frost on the concrete dam.

And those who are interested have already discovered that there are roads made of cement all the way here. The citizens of Hongshuang City who participated in the construction were muttering underground, showing off spoilers in a low voice, and they were treated politely and were ranked at the front of the crowd. Those local minority tribes of the Tu nationality opened their small eyes wide with curiosity.

"General, what are you playing with?"

It turns out that not only women are terribly curious, but men are also similar. He was going home for the winter, but he was dragged here by a military order from Mao Jue. The big-headed son Song Xiance, who was wrapped up more like a groundhog, couldn't bear his curiosity and jumped off his horse. Getting down, he squeezed behind Mao Jue, looked at the big circle made of cement on the ground, and asked in surprise.

With an inexplicable smile on his face, Mao Jue finally revealed some information.

"Daoist Song, do you still remember when you were in Hamgyong Dao, you subdued Su Mubu's flat ground Guanyin?"

"General, those are all blindfolds"

"Today, I will play a big game for you!"
