Beiyang new warlord

Don't underestimate a drinker. When Li Dingguo rebelled with Zhang Xianzhong, a lot of life-saving news came from small taverns. When and where the officers and soldiers marched, how the food and grass marched, and the counties in the county. Too much together, you can instigate rebellion as an internal response, and so on, these days are similar, you can come to the tavern near the Governor's Mansion to drink, basically they are some serving military officers, and those who drink at the table complain about the daily life, so let him find out a basic situation.

That is the prince is not doing his job properly!

Mao Jue sent him to the New World. The main task was the same as Adelaina's, to take root, seize the Spanish Mexican colony, and then open up the American Isthmus to clear a direct route to Europe for the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Come to Europe and dominate the world.

Mao Jue was looking forward to it in Hangzhou, waiting for the news of the construction of the canal, but instead of being in a hurry, the crown prince detained the first batch of New World colonial infantry who followed Adelaine. Add a piece of more than 6, and 8000 were transferred to the Snake River Plain on the east front to farm on the spot. The 6000 troops and more than [-] civilians who stayed here to build the Gem Sea were only left formed a regiment.

What's more, the war between Ming Dynasty and Spain is in full swing. In the New World, the crown prince is actually doing business with the enemy's Mexican colony. These days, the tequila, rum and beer he drinks are all shipped by ship. South Mexico City.

The emperor and the crown prince openly disagree, which is not a good sign!Moreover, according to the rumors, the crown prince was not liked by the emperor in the first place, and he was so enthusiastic and selfish in developing his one-acre three-point land. In the future, it is hard to say whether the crown prince can return to Daming to inherit the throne!Even thinking about the worst, the prince may want to establish a country in this new continent, but the emperor may not allow it. Maybe a war will break out between the two sides in the future.

Just as Li Dingguo was swaying and thinking, there was a sudden sound of hooves, and he looked towards the street. With yellow braids tied on his forehead, several Spaniards rode big bulls and trotted in Daming. In the port, the car behind is still pulling a lot of goods. I heard that the leader is called Henry, some ridiculous foreign name, and he is one of the prince's favorites. Let him stand aside and watch little Henry act like a clown. After getting off the car and refilling his wine in the tavern, Li Dingguo couldn't help but shook his head again, and then hurriedly walked towards the port.

After all, it is an overseas colony, and it took only a few minutes to return to the port from the center of the city. Li Dingguo governed the army very strictly. He went out to drink, but a corps of 8000 people was still practicing formation in the open space by the port. In the past few days, it has become a scene in Haicheng. Seeing Li Dingguo come back, his lieutenants Ma Jinzhong and Feng Shuangli rushed over with clattering armor, clasping their fists in greeting.

"Three young masters!"

Following Li Dingguo, Feng Shuangli, who is also a veteran of the Western Army, reported excitedly: "Third young master, there is news from the prince, and in three days, the prince and General Liu Zongmin will bring the prisoners back to the gemstone." The sea is over, shall we prepare a gift, and then we will pay a visit?"

"Wait no more! Pass down the general's order and sound the assembly number! The army prepares meals at noon and departs at noon, and goes south along the coastline to Haitian Prefecture to meet Adelena Shuai!"

This order is really unexpected!Full of astonishment, the two deputy governors exclaimed in disbelief: "Third young master, are you not going to see the crown prince?"

"After all, the crown prince is the governor of Luoji, and the third young master Shangguan, it's not good to leave in such a rude manner!" Feng Shuangli couldn't help persuading him from the sidelines, but at this time Li Dingguo had already made up his mind, and he was very upset. Shaking his head firmly: "I have given up my will!"

"The commander of the last commander!"

Helpless, the two lieutenants clasped their fists heavily and took the order.

In history, Li Dingguo was able to persevere in the face of many enemies and we are few, because of a fruit in his character, he is decisive in doing things!They didn't even sit on the boat, and even tens of thousands of old and weak family members and immigrants were abandoned here. At about [-]:[-] p.m., [-] infantry cavalry led the way, and about [-] middle-aged family members followed behind. The cannons were also gone, and the group of people marched towards the south in a mighty way, pushing the army rations and gunpowder supplies on the trolley.

Looking back at the sea of ​​gemstones that began to haze in the sea fog, Li Shuai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he rode forward. Adelaina belonged to the emperor Mao Jue's side. He would rather offend the prince than he would stand on the emperor's side , to show loyalty.

However, this is a long-term consideration. On the premise of offending the prince, how to run his poor Haitian Prefecture and dig out the gold mines is still an urgent problem. While swaying with the horse, Li Dingguo frowned again deliberate.

Li Dingguo, who was thinking about power struggles, didn't even notice that there were two more aliens in his team.

When I came here, I was Miss Yuer, a handsome scholar, but now she is an Indian chief, Yuer, a barbarian, with Indian feather crowns on her head, and she also bought a set of Indian linen robes and cloaks to wear on the outside, with a small face Next, I painted two more paintings, riding the cow bought by Baoshihai, and Mao Jue's sweetheart, the little princess, looked left and right with great novelty, looking forward to the boundless sea, and the undeveloped, ancient and prehistoric mountains.

It's just that she was happy, but the little maid who came with her, Duo'er, even wanted to die, riding on the cow's buttocks, the little girl clasped her fists in an extremely sad way: "Miss, let's go back and find the prince!" Lord! Please, don't leave again! The servant girl is scared!"

"not going back!"

Her little head was dangling like a rattle drum, and Yu'er pouted angrily: "Why can Fifth Auntie and Seventh Auntie go to work in the newspaper office, busy with this and that, and my mother forces me to learn something?" Female red and female virtue, I still look at the disgusting faces of Pang Youde and Shen Furong's gang of heroes and rich three generations every day! Why?"

Full of fighting power, this girl shook her fist with stares in her eyes: "Who says women are inferior to men! This young lady also wants to make a career, show my father and mother!"

Yu'er was grinding her fists and rubbing her palms with full fighting power, but the little maid was on the verge of crying, and she cried out in a long tone with great sadness.

"Miss!!!"

.........

Li Dingguo walked in time. He just crossed the Columbia River, and Mao Xingjian led his troops to pass by him along the Mount Rainier.

He also had a regiment of about 8000 people under his command, but escorted more than 5000 captives. During the ranks, the hands and necks of the indigenous Indians in sackcloth were tied to ropes, and the two sergeants strung grasshoppers one after the other. Escorting more than a dozen people, the cavalry regiment in front opened the way left and right. With the swaying of the horses, Mao Xingjian calmly supervised the army in the middle.

Compared with the prince who just came to the New World, Mao Xingjian's face now has a lot of traces of wind and frost, but it is also more mature than before. I also have to feel that my son is completely different from before.

A series of events has indeed made Mao Xingjian grow up, let him realize that the world is far from being as beautiful as in Confucian books, and he has jumped out of the rules and regulations of the sages, this spring is a clear proof, the prince who originally advocated education is coming to an end After only a month's rest after the Battle of Wounded Knee, he looked through the Rocky Mountains again, and passed the heads of the Heavenly Witch and other tribal chiefs to the Mississippi River in order to deliberately anger the local Mandans. Assini himself went to challenge, but the Indian tribes who gathered in a group to fight were killed and defeated. Thousands of people were killed on the spot, and more than [-] men and women were captured. More than a dozen large tribes surrendered to Ming Dynasty. become its vassal.

The prince's political style has completely changed.

Just like when the kings of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties conquered the Rongdi tribe and returned victoriously, looking at the crown prince's banner, the entire sea of ​​gems suddenly boiled, men, women and children watched the army enter the city with great interest, facing those messy hair, full of The distressed Indian tribe pointed and pointed, and many big businessmen from Ming Dynasty squeezed their chins full of excitement, thinking about whether they should buy some cheap labor and put them in the store once the government sold off the official slaves.

But this Mao Xingjian had just returned to the Governor's Mansion, and before he had time to take a sip of water, Liu Fenggu, the staff officer of the Ninth Corps who was in charge of staying at the headquarters, had already come to him in a fit of anger.

"Prince, during your absence, the sixth supply fleet of the New World has arrived at the Gem Sea."

"Isn't this a good thing? Why such an expression?"

While taking off the general's coat and hanging it on the clothes rack in the room, Mao Xingjian said with a very easy-going smile. Hearing that, Fatty Liu hurriedly shook his head heavily: "This time, His Majesty also granted the title of Marquis of Zhengdong. The admiral of Haitian Prefecture called Li Dingguo to come, and brought a regiment of troops, but this Li Dingguo was arrogant and rebellious. He didn't even say hello to the Governor's Mansion, so he led the army south. They killed more than 100 cows in our Snake City, and they simply don't pay attention to the Crown Prince and the Governor's Mansion!"

He had waited well, but suddenly came and left without saying goodbye. The awkwardness in Liu Fenggu's heart can be seen. Mao Xingjian himself couldn't help being taken aback when he reported the report with extra fuel, but after a while, he shook his head with a relaxed smile: "It seems that the old man is a little anxious, but it doesn't matter, the third aunt will explain it to us!"

"Is that so?"

"Of course you can't forget it like this, Lao Liu. You can bring another two hundred cows later, bring some food to follow, and send someone to tell Li Dingguo what Jianhai Tianzhou lacks. Just get it from the Governor's Mansion!"

At this moment, Liu Fenggu was dumbfounded, not to bother with this guy, but to repay the money, what is this?

However, Mao Xingjian really didn't take it seriously. On the one hand, only in a foreign land can he experience the preciousness of the same country and the same race. Deep impression, but also reshape his character.

On the other hand, Mao Jue sent him here just to practice, how to deal with the conflicts under his command, how to twist the big guys into a rope, this is the basic skill of being a leader. He can also laugh it off, because this is a great opportunity to exercise his dominance of the team. While humming softly, he also sat leisurely at the desk and poured tea for himself, and gave orders slowly.

"Has little Henry come back? Let him come to see me later."

Mao Xingjian had already made a plan, no matter how depressed Liu Fenggu was, he didn't dare to say anything more, he could only cup his fist helplessly, turned around and went out the door.

However, within half a minute, little Henry didn't arrive, but the fat guy came back in a hurry, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and handed over a black leather official document with both hands.

"Prince, Maple Leaf Hou Ma Bao urgently reports!"

"This guy has a sharper nose than a dog. He knows that there are some people under Lone Hand, so he came here just by smelling it!"

Following Mao Jue's appearance, he took the official document with a teacup in one hand, smiled and cursed, flipped through it while drinking, but as soon as he saw the first line, the prince spit out all the hot tea with a sip. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, but at this moment Mao Xingjian jumped up as if his butt was burned, his face pulled out like a sharpened skin, and he shouted angrily.

"Quickly pass Song Qiwei! It's terrible!"

Chapter 889. Princess Escape

In Daming, the image of the princess is high above, and she lives in seclusion, just like Chang'e in the bright moon, and like the jewel in the lock.

But just such a character, not to mention traveling thousands of miles to this wild place in the New World, and pretending to be a businessman to follow the development of San Francisco City in Haitian Prefecture, Song Yongzhong was stunned when he heard it, just like listening to the Arabian Nights.

Even if the crown prince told him personally, the heroic cavalier still couldn't help asking in disbelief.

"seriously?"

Resting his cheeks with one hand, he also imitated Mao Jue's decadent style. Mao Xingjian shook his head listlessly: "Gu also hopes it's fake! But the Internal Affairs Department of the Royal Committee specially sent someone to chase after him, and the warrant was written by the old man himself. See It looks like this little sister really escaped here!"

Thinking of Mao Jue's suffocated face like constipation, the crown prince couldn't help shivering, but immediately stood up quickly, walked to Song Yongzhong's side, and slapped Song Yongzhong heavily on the shoulder, dignified The prince actually had a flattering smile, and said with a cheap smile.

"Besides, this is a very good thing! Among the orphaned brothers, this Yu'er is the one who is the most favored by the old man. It can be said that Han Zai is afraid of being melted in the palm of his hand! If Brother Song can show bravery in front of my sister Majestic, to capture my sister's heart, not to mention ten years less struggle, but hundreds of years less struggle! If it weren't for Brother Song, he is the brother who lives and dies alone! Such a good thing will not be entrusted to him!"

To be honest, I am used to seeing Mao Xingjian's serious and solemn appearance, and suddenly the crown prince also showed a cheap side, and Song Yongzhong really couldn't bear it when the character collapsed, and he felt goose bumps all over his body. He quickly bowed his head heavily fist.

"Don't worry, the crown prince, I will guarantee the end with my life, and I will definitely send Her Royal Highness back home safely!"
