Lu Ming

The task is heavy.If you want to knead five hundred scattered people together to meet the minimum army requirements, there is no other way than strengthening training.

So from this day on, soldiers divided into five groups began intensive training.

The subject is very simple: without standing in the military posture and going forward, it is enough for everyone to get on the horse and go marching and training.

During the long, deliberate march of detours, the brand-new unit began to hone in on the selection as it worked out the problems that came to light.

The teams that have been sent out not only need to practice various marching and combat formations, and be familiar with various signal transmission methods, but also divide from large forces into small groups at any time, practice concealment and camp in the wild... In short, the recruits are very busy and full.

Although this kind of training is effective quickly, it can only be done with the support of huge funds.

You must know that the cost of marching troops far exceeds that of stationing. 500 people, one person and two horses for long-distance training, consume a huge number of resources every day.It was absolutely impossible for the generals of the Ming Dynasty to do it. The people who traveled through the game are now like krypton gold players in the game. For the experience points, to save time, and for a knife of 999, they will not hesitate to swipe their cards... Maybe it is Alipay.

And at the same time as the intense running-in here, the Beishang Fleet also began to return.

This time the fleet returned, except for the smallest frigate that stayed in Tianjin, the rest of the ships were all loaded with cargo, and they went south together, taking advantage of the wind to go to Shanghai Port for transit.

As for the cargo for the fleet’s return journey—except for a lot of Mongolian cowhide loaded in the bottom cabin, the rest of the cabins were all loaded with the help of local trading houses, carrying a large number of northern refugees, and no other cargo was loaded.

Chapter 426

Hangzhou Yushi Lane, Huang Mansion, a group of servant girls are busy packing their luggage.

Time went back to the day when the gunboat bombarded Xu's house.

After the Xu family's house in Shanghai was smashed to pieces by naval guns, the land deed alliance that had been so arrogant at the time was also declared to be disbanded.

These big landlords now sadly find that unless they expose the reactionary nature of Bandits Cao in the temple and push the court to suppress the bandits, otherwise, the efforts of local honest men and gentlemen alone will not be able to stop this worm who has infiltrated the system.

But how difficult is it to smear your opponent from the beginning?As far as Daming is now, with such a ghostly appearance that leaks from all directions, the imperial court will not touch this kind of warlord who holds military power and will rebel if he is in a hurry.

So the Land Deed Alliance disbanded desolately - the gentry class is a very rubbish class. To deal with their own people, the Donglin Party and the like are really full of tricks and use everything.

However, once they jumped out of that rotten circle and encountered foreign enemies, this group of people would immediately be out of action.Why?Because foreign enemies don't discuss the way of a gentleman with you, foreign enemies only comment on sword skills with you.

By this time, it is only a matter of time before the superstructure that relies on philosophers to rule the country collapses.

Cao thief took this route this time: without saying a word, he is going to fight you hard.This kind of countermeasure of wandering on the edge of the system made the gentry who were accustomed to oppressing others extremely uncomfortable, and they were at a loss everywhere.

……

After the alliance was disbanded, according to the final negotiation results, each family made up another box of land deeds, and sent someone to sell it to Mr. Xiong Daoxiong at a low price.

So far, the bloody case caused by a box of land deeds has finally come to an end.

The masters who have paid a terrible price are not interested in it now, and they will not be able to arouse the interest in continuing to fight Cao thief in a short time.

In this way, the radical master Huang Shaozhou, who has been advocating the swearing against Cao thief and fighting to the death, will sit down.Now that the army has been defeated like a mountain, no one is willing to fight against oppression with him.

So after visiting the alliance princes for the last time, getting some good news, and leaving behind a bunch of cruel words about "coming back in the future", Mr. Huang, who has become an opinion leader in this incident, had to leave Shanghai County sadly and panicked. , and returned to his home in Hangzhou.

Within two days after arriving home, Mr. Huang decided to go to Fujian to visit relatives and friends because he was "in a bad mood" and to relax by the way.

Huang Fu became flustered again.Because this time, Master Huang is going to take the eldest lady with him when he travels.

"It's a long way to go, Uncle, you must be careful about foot diseases, and you can't see the wind and cold."

In the Huang Mansion's warm pavilion with a charcoal stove, a young man with a white face and a brocade robe and a handsome figure was telling something to Master Huang who was half leaning on the imperial concubine's couch.

"Well, you have to be careful." Stretching his legs and feet, the rather rich Mr. Huang nodded yes.

At this moment, another young man who looked like a son also interjected in time and said, "Fujian is more damp and cold than Zhejiang. I don't think that Huang Shou and Huang Xi are capable of doing things. How about my nephew accompanying my uncle?" Let’s take a walk, it’s convenient to take care of it on the way.”

"Okay, okay, I accept the wishes of your juniors. I'm just going here to relax my mind, and I don't want to make public. It's enough to have Huang Shou and Huang Xi." Master Huang spoke in time, stopping the filial piety performance of the two nephews : "Well, it's getting late, you all go back."

After saying a few words gently, after sending these relatives and children away, Master Huang shook his head with a helpless expression: "Help me back to my room."

Behind him, Huang Shou and Huang Xi, two close family members, hurried over to help the master and helped him back to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the eldest wife of the Huang family, Huang Xie, was instructing the maid to pack all kinds of things into boxes.Seeing this scene, Master Huang who entered the door shook his head helplessly again: "Don't bring anything, are there any good things over there?"

……

The story of the Huangfu is a long one.

The Huang Xie family is the wife of the main house married from the Xie family, a rich family in Huzhou, and they are the same as the Huang family.The eldest lady is 37 years old this year, and she looks young, but according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, a woman of this age can already call herself an "old woman".

Since Huang Xie married into Huang's house 20 years ago, she has abided by women's ethics, managed the inner house, and has a close relationship with Mr. Huang, which can be regarded as a harmonious relationship.

It's just that things like feelings, in the big families of the seventeenth century, must give way to etiquette-what's the use of good feelings for a woman who can't bear children?

In this era, if the husband and wife are infertile, the blame will definitely be pinned on the woman first.

Huang Xie was born in a rich family, and he is very clear about etiquette.So after discovering that she was "unable to raise children", she had no choice but to follow the rules, gritted her teeth, and took the initiative to marry the master with two bedrooms, three bedrooms, four bedrooms and five bedrooms...

As a result, after many years, when people found out that the five wives and concubines were still unable to give birth to a son and a half for Mr. Huang, a consensus was silently reached: it was the master's problem.

However, at this time, Mr. Huang is already in his 40s, so what's the use of a real hammer?The Huang family still has no descendants.

This is also the reason why the Huang family's relatives and nephews have become increasingly arrogant in recent years: after all, the master is going to adopt one of them to inherit the family business, it's just a matter of who he chooses.

And the various house fights caused by the Huang family are not enough for outsiders to understand.In a word, from the housewife to the housekeeper, to the housekeeper, they are more or less involved in the "seizure" dispute, making the inner house very restless.

Just when Huang Shaozhou and his wife were undecided, looking at these helpless children and wondering which one to adopt, suddenly one day, Fang Tangjing, who had gone to the south for business, came back!

After Fang Tangjing returned to the mansion, he not only brought a large number of fashionable toys, but also brought back a lot of foreign knowledge.

While the whole house was circling around those new goods, Fang Tangjing pulled the master into the small study with a look of excitement, muttering all day long, not knowing what they were talking about.

After that, Mr. Huang seemed to be a different person, and launched a series of show operations.

Not only did he vigorously adjust his family's business layout and shrink his money, but after that, he also went to Shanghai County to fight with others for a Zhuangzi that no one knew when he bought it, and it is said that he even filed a lawsuit. And return, Zhuangzi did not keep.

It is said that if you suffered a loss outside, you should at least rest for a while after you come back, right?However, Mr. Huang is not.Just two days after he returned to Hangzhou, he was arguing that he was in a bad mood and was going to visit friends in Fujian to relax...

So the Huang Mansion became flustered again.

……

After Mr. Huang entered the bedroom, he saw his wife packing her luggage, and said helplessly, "Take less, is there anything good over there?"

When Huang Xie saw the old man entering the house, she hurried over to help her husband to sit down: "Poor family Fulu, who knows if there is a suitable family in that place, so don't worry if you bring more."

Hearing the words, Master Huang said contemptuously: "Hmph, didn't you snatch all the things that Fang son-in-law brought back?"

The eldest lady smiled when she heard the words: "Then listen to the master and bring less luggage."

Master Huang nodded, and his tone became tough: "Take it lightly and simply, and keep quiet along the way... There are many joints in the middle, no matter how difficult it is to show off, you know it."

Seeing Fa's wife nodding, Master Huang thought for a while, and then asked in a discussing tone: "Otherwise, let's choose one of them and go on the road together, just in case... It's better than being caught off guard."

"No!"

The originally gentle and virtuous Mrs. Huang Xie, at this moment, her willow eyebrows were erected, her almond eyes were wide open, and she looked at her master uncompromisingly: "I am not yet forty this year, and my body has always been strong, so I must be able to bear children! "

Speaking of this, Huang Xie's eyes already had tears: "Master, my concubine married into Huang's family, did she ever have a little bit of immorality? But I don't know how many vicious words have been said behind my back these years. These concubines I have endured it. But now that I have hope, why is the eldest son not born of a concubine?"

At this moment, Mr. Huang had a splitting headache: the couple had already discussed this issue in private, but Huang Xie, who was usually generous and rational, refused to budge on this matter, leaving Mr. Huang helpless.

Seeing that his wife was about to resort to the ultimate move of crying and making troubles, after all, Mr. Huang, who was ashamed in his heart, finally made a final concession and stopped entangled in this matter: "That's all, it's you and me who will leave first .”

When Huang Xie heard this, he immediately changed his color: "I just can't swallow this breath. Please rest assured, master, if the genius doctor over there really rejects my concubine, it won't be too late to send a message back then."

"Oh, that's all I have to do."

After the preparatory work was completed, Master Huang, his wife, Fang Tangjing, his staff, and four male and female servants at home, a group of seven people boarded an awning boat parked at Hebutou outside the door.

After leaving the water gate of Hangzhou, the awning boat made many twists and turns, and finally stopped at the port of Shanghai, where Mr. Huang returned home not long ago, in the middle of the night.

After arriving at Shanghai Port, the group was quietly sent to a new lock ship parked at the port.

And parked next to this ship is that huge battleship: the Zhenman.

After Mr. Huang and his party stayed silently in the upper cabin of the cargo ship for a day, a large number of ships gathered in Shanghai Port finally set sail.

These ships were divided into two groups.The Northward Fleet took away most of the transport ships and a few fast warships.The Zhenman, together with two frigates, headed south back to the Taijiang military port.

And following the Zhenman, there were two new lock ships carrying immigrants, and Mr. Huang and his party were on one of the ships.

After the fleet sailed south from Shanghai Port, it didn't take long for the two new lock ships to be thrown away by the Zhenman.

The transport ship is definitely not as fast as the battleship. After the Zhenman formation started the gas power, black smoke rose, and the speed gradually increased, gradually drifting away, and swaggeringly disappeared on the sea.

The two new lock ships followed the route they had traveled many times honestly and embarked on a journey to Tainan.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and Mr. Huang and his party are riding with a favorable wind, so when they came to Taijiang, they only spent five days on the road. At this time, the northbound fleet led by Comrade Zhang Dongdong had not yet arrived in Tianjin. .

Chapter 427

In later generations, due to the huge cargo throughput of many ports and the extreme busyness, ships often had to wait for permission in the open sea before entering the port for unloading.This time is uncertain, sometimes it is very common to wait for ten days and a half months.

Although it is not so exaggerated in today's Taijiang Offshore Sea, it already has the same smell: the cargo ship that the Huangs and his wife were on was also delayed outside the port for a while, until it was formed together with three other passenger ships from Fujian. Only entered the Taijiang waterway.

After years of excavation and expansion, the width of the Taijiang channel has reached 200 meters, which is enough for ships of this era to enter and exit.

Like the road, the route separated by the navigation mark is now a two-way four-lane, with small boats on both sides and large ships in the middle.

Huang's new lock boat with the hull number TY83 is currently following a ship of the same type with the hull number TY22, slowly passing by the channel.

Mr. Huang and his party are all standing on the deck admiring the scenery outside the region.Fang Tangjing, who just came here not long ago, waved a folding fan and turned into a tour guide, shaking his head and giving directions.

"Is this General's Mansion so majestic, I wonder if I can take a look inside?"

Anyone who enters the Taijiang waterway for the first time will be shocked by the imperial city decorated with blue glass curtain walls, and then express great interest.

It's a pity that this is called the General's Mansion, but it is actually an imperial city. There are too many tricks in it, so it is really hard to let it go and sell tickets to visit.

"It's probably not easy to go to an important place for military aircraft." Fang Tangjing explained with a smile after hearing his family's statement.

Coincidentally.While the Huang family was looking at the mountains and rivers, on deck TY22 in front, there was also a family of people surnamed Huang doing the same thing and saying the same words: "Husband, that hall is so beautiful, can you go for a visit? "

The person who asked the question was a big beauty in a blue pleated skirt.Beside the beauty was waving a folding fan, and the straight-dressed Huang Juren laughed when he heard this: "It's probably not too difficult. I'll take you to eat skewers in a few days."

The couple are Huang Zhicheng and Zhong Xiuxiu.

……

Huang Zhicheng, Huang Juren, who has been active in the enemy's rear for a long time, found out that his wife Zhong Xiuxiu was pregnant not long ago.

This is a big deal.

Huang Juren has been a human being for two lifetimes, and this is the first time he has become a father, so he attaches great importance to this matter.It could be said that after taking a long vacation at Lao Xiong's place, he took Zhong Xiuxiu and went straight to the senior staff, planning to have an examination first and then raise the baby.

In the past two years, the news that there is a miracle doctor in Taiwan has already spread in Fujian, where there are the most exchanges.Many officials and gentry had gone to the other side of the sea to see a doctor, and some took their children to get vaccinated, so Huang Zhicheng didn't bother this time, so he generously took his wife to raise the baby.

No wonder Huang Zhicheng was nervous.You must know that obstetrics in the [-]th century was still dominated by women. This kind of technique of pouring coal ash on the bed and starting delivery is really unacceptable to people from later generations.

Fortunately, the transportation is convenient now. Huang Zhicheng, who is in Fuzhou, is within walking distance. After packing up some luggage, he walked across the strait. The two old masters met at Taijiang Estuary by chance.

After passing through the Dayuan Channel, the fleet docked at the wharf on the opposite bank of the Taijiang River.

After Master Huang Shaozhou's ship stopped, it didn't take long for Nanwang Nanxiucai, who hadn't seen him for many years, to find him on board.

After everyone met, naturally there was a lot of sigh and emotion.After paying homage to the old man and his wife, Nan Wang led everyone to disembark and took the group to the corresponding hotel of the Intelligence Bureau that had already been booked.

At the same time, another Mr. Huang on the next boat was also greeting colleagues from the Intelligence Bureau who came to pick him up.

Huang Zhicheng can be regarded as one of the earliest veterans of the intelligence bureau, but after the Hangzhou imperial examination, he has been lurking behind the enemy lines and rarely comes here.

Since there were family members present, the person from the Intelligence Bureau who came to pick him up didn't have much to say. He just used his identity as the receptionist of the General's Mansion to say a few polite words, and then came to the hotel to rest like Mr. Huang next door.

In fact, Huang Zhicheng also has a villa in the crossing communities, but due to his identity, it is inconvenient to disclose it.

So, the two Mr. Huang who came to Taiwan to see the doctor at the same time, happened to live in the same hotel.

That night, the two parties also booked a private room in the restaurant downstairs, where they chatted with each other over wine.

Early the next morning, Master Huang Shaozhou from Hangzhou, accompanied by Nan Wang and Fang Tangjing, got into a carriage all the way to the intelligence bureau headquarters at No. 76 Yunfei Road.

At the headquarters, Master Huang met the deputy director of the intelligence bureau whose real name was Tang Mude and whose pseudonym was Tang Qi.

In fact, as early as when Fang Tangjing came back from Taiwan and Mr. Huang decided to establish contact with the crossing people, he knew that he was dealing with a yamen similar to Jinyiwei under the general.

After that, Mr. Huang got in touch with Hangzhou Station, and according to the instructions, took a manor title deed given to him by Hangzhou Station to join the Land Deed Alliance and acted as the second and fifth boy.

After the dust of the struggle between Xiong Dao and the Land Deed Alliance settled, he played a big role in it, notifying Master Huang of the Hangzhou Station of every move of the alliance, and got permission to go to Taiwan.

So when he actually came to Taiwan, the first thing he had to do was not to go to the hospital, but to come to the intelligence bureau to "report"-Master Huang Shaozhou is now an official peripheral intelligence officer under the jurisdiction of the intelligence bureau.

After entering the Intelligence Bureau, Master Huang and Fang Tangjing first recorded the palm prints and took pictures.Although Nan Wang had been vaccinated before, Master Huang still showed enough curiosity to scan his palm against a luminous glass panel.

After that comes the interview session.

Leaning on crutches, Mr. Huang was led to the deputy director's office, and found that the head of the fan surnamed Tang had the same hair bun as his own.
