Watching Dong Min's team walk away, He Li said: "General, that Supervisor Zhang, let's kill him." Although he has been guarded, it is impossible to prevent Dong Min from meeting him at a time like this.
Yang Zhao nodded, and said, "He's been sick for three months, and it's about time he should die." Supervisor Zhang has been in Heishuiguan for so many years, and he has set up some eyes and ears. Last time he blocked him Let him go south, let him arrive in Xiangyang several days late, now it is equivalent to breaking with the Dong family, then all these eyes and ears will be pulled out, and it will take a few months for the new supervising army to come. Before that, Heishuiguan must have an iron bucket.
"Then who are the two county magistrates brought by Dong Min?" Yang Zhao asked as he turned and walked towards the big tent.
"They are two Jinshi who were recruited last year. They have been investigated and have no background. We have just captured those two small cities for less than a year, and they are always in danger of being snatched back by the Liao Kingdom. People with some background and connections, I'm afraid Wouldn't you be willing to come?" He Li said with a smile.
"Those two small towns are our corners outside the customs. They should not be underestimated. The guards must choose reliable people." Yang Zhao walked into the big tent, looked at the sand table, and said. Those two small cities have been snatched back for almost a year, and now they have stabilized. The imperial court sent two county magistrates over and asked the garrison to change their defenses. However, those two small cities are really small, not even the size of a normal county. Two county magistrates were dispatched, and the one who sent them over was Dong Min, who was in the fourth rank, which made Yang Zhao feel a little uneasy.
"General, Gui Yun is willing to garrison." Mu Guiyun stepped forward and said.
Yang Zhao glanced at Mu Guiyun and said, "Guiyun, although this place is small, it is a place where we can advance or retreat to Shuozhou. Now there are those two county magistrates who don't understand, I'm afraid it's not so Be careful."
"Guiyun will definitely defend the small town." Mu Guiyun clasped his fists and said.
"Okay, how about I give you three thousand soldiers?" Yang Zhao asked, looking back at the sand table.
"Enough." Mu Guiyun nodded. The area of the small town was not very large, and it was already full when three thousand soldiers entered, and no amount of more could fit in.
"General." Fang Nianyuan and Gao Liu walked into the big tent, and said with a smile, "The money has been put away, and the people have set off. When shall we leave?"
"Leaving again?" Yin Ting'an called out unconsciously. No way? How long have you been back? Although pretending to be a general is majestic, it is very stressful, and it is really uncomfortable for him to wear a mask like a general every day.
"Wait a few days until the county magistrate of the small town takes office and Dong Min leaves." Yang Zhao looked up at the corner of Gao Liu's upturned mouth, and said, "What? Did the pie fall from the sky?"
"It's confusing to look at the silver." Gao Liu smiled, the scene of ten million taels of white silver shining in the dark cave is not exciting.
"A letter from Han Bian, Wudang Gong has sold the Yangming Mountain to the Ling family, and Guan Xiao will send people there in a few days. If you like it, you can go and see it." Yang Zhao stuck a small flag in the On the sand table, said.
"Where is the silver?" Li Yan asked with a smile.
"No," Yang Zhao shook his head, remembering the letter Ling Qingyu had written to Han Bian and Guan Xiao, and said with a smile, "There will be ten dollars over there."
Is this going to privately mint copper coins? !
Yin Ting'an looked around and saw that the expressions on the faces of several people were as expected, and asked: "Ten money? To pay the military salary? Didn't the head of the family say that it is not a good thing?"
"Fool!" Gu Cheng patted his head with a slap, and said, "Apart from military pay, don't we need money to buy grain and grass? Don't we need money to buy mutton?"
Oh! Yin Tingan thinks he can figure it out. According to what the master said, the cost of pawning ten coins is only three copper coins, but it can be exchanged for ten copper coins. If we make ten coins to exchange things, it is equivalent to taking three copper coins Bought goods for ten copper coins.
Seeing his suddenly enlightened look, Yang Zhao smiled and shook his head. It is really not easy to keep up with Ling Qingyu's train of thought. I'm afraid only Han Bian can keep up. The two of them have a tacit understanding in this regard.
"Meng Su said that the thunderbolt that he brought to Meng Su last time was very useful. I want to ask for more. I wonder if Guan Xiao can make it?" He Li asked.
"I'm afraid it won't work at Guan Xiao's place. These still have to be made in Lingjia Village." Fang Nianyuan said, "But we can bring some more next time. According to the instructions of the master, there is a boat that goes to Japan to bring sulfur back from Japan." Lingjia Village, if Guan Xiao can learn how to forge the cannon body this time, I think the master will send the formula over."
"I heard that thing is very powerful!" Li Yan asked with bright eyes.
"Of course it's powerful. Meng Su still used the most basic ammunition this time. If it's that kind of cannon in red, let me tell you, if you fire a hundred cannons in a row, half of this barracks will be blown away!" Fang Nianyuan laughed. His ship had been equipped with the cannon, which had been tested when it was at sea. Ten cannons blasted past, and even a corner of the cliff was blasted off. It's a pity that it takes too much effort to make, and the number of shells is limited.
"If it can be transported, we can beat those Liao people and Dangxiang people hard." Gu Cheng said.
Fang Nianyuan shook his head and said: "It's very troublesome to make. Mr. Zhou and the others have been working on it for more than two years, and only ten cannons have been produced, and there are many restrictions. It's okay to use it as a deterrent, but it's not enough to cause decisive damage." The most important thing is that the cannon is very heavy, the range is fixed, and the firing interval is long. If there is a cavalry charge, the first cannon will go out, and the second cannon will be rushed to the front while the barrel is recovering. , That's why Ling Qingyu let them equip them on sea ships first.
"The strong crossbow on Guan Xiao's side is ready, Li Yan, after you transport it back, install it on the Guan wall." Yang Zhao straightened up, glanced at the few people, and said: "The Liao Kingdom and the Dang Xiang There should be no fights in winter, but we still have to take precautions and don’t underestimate the enemy.”
"Yes!" Several people immediately straightened their bodies and responded loudly.
Dong Min came this time, the official statement was that he came to discuss matters with the Liao Kingdom, but the Liao Kingdom was at war with the party in Shuozhou, and the two sides were yelling and cursing, so they only sent a small official to discuss with Dong Min. Min's subordinates practiced Tai Chi for two days, and without any decision, they said goodbye to the war and went back. Dong Min had no excuse to stay, so he had to lead his subordinates back.
Two days after Dong Min left, Yang Zhao sent Ling Qingyu to Quanzhou.
When we arrived in Xiangyang, it was already September, and the Wolong Peak was already full of autumn colors. The red and golden yellows completely dyed the mountains and forests, and the layers were layered like heavy ink and color paintings.
However, the scenery in Spirit Snake Valley is still the same as last time, as if time has stopped here.
Looking at Yan San who was lying quietly on the ice jade platform, the hair on his forehead was exactly the same as when he left last time, Ling Qingyu stood by the platform, his eye circles slowly turning red.
Yang Zhao pulled Yan Qi's sleeve, and the two walked out of the Hall of Longevity. Yang Zhao quietly leaned against the stone pillar surrounded by snakes, while Yan Qi walked down the steps and walked slowly into the farmland.
The rice in the farmland was full of tassels, which rippled layer by layer with the breeze. Yan Qi brushed the rice ears with his hand and grabbed a handful, but it was empty. Is it an illusion? Yan Qi stretched out his hand again, but it was still in vain. After standing in the illusion for a while, he walked back to the front of the Hall of Longevity, and leaned against another pillar just like Yang Zhao.
"It's really nice here." Yan Qi glanced at the hall and said. When he saw Yan San for the first time, he was really shocked. The countless wounds on his body and the bloody hole made by Kong Wu's palm at the end had all disappeared. That peaceful and peaceful appearance made him even think that Yan San was not alive. Death is just a deep sleep.
"Yes." Yang Zhao replied flatly. That's fine, come and see him every once in a while, just like seeing him still sleeping, so that Ling Qingyu's heart can slowly calm down, it's better than nothing, never seeing this person again, it hurts so much Heartfelt.
Ling Qingyu lay down on the Bingyu Terrace, took Yan San's arm as a pillow under her head, snuggled into his arms, and talked to him in detail, talking about the fall of the Demon Cult, about the Qin family and those who How did the martial arts sects be overthrown by Ling Yunfei one by one? He said that Han Bian had led people to take over the silver mine in Yangmingshan, and at the same time he had found the copper mine she was talking about. He was talking about Xiao Se, that little brat who went back by himself Yue Yang, go to challenge the elders of the Xiao family, talk about how many medicines Alan and the others have made, talk about the rare good weather this year, the fields of the Ling family have a bumper harvest, and talk about the reopening of the silver building in the south of the Yangtze River. It's homely, detailed, unstructured, and says whatever comes to mind.
The cheek that was pressed against it was still as cold as ice, but the upturned corner of the mouth made her seem to hear him gently smiling and answering, um, as before.
"Yan San, I went to Lingjia Village this time. When I come back, I will go to Heishuiguan from Hangzhou. I may not be able to make it for a few days. You should pay attention to your health. Don't worry, I will live a good life and stop spoiling myself. , and won’t spoil other people’s thoughts.” Ling Qingyu sat up, leaned over and pressed a kiss on his icy lips, as if he was going to stay in Fengshen Island to train Shiliuye, she and him Same as farewell.
After getting off the Bingyu Terrace, Ling Qingyu traced his eyebrows with his fingers reluctantly, then turned and left.
From Xiangyang to Quanzhou, the convoy has been traveling day and night, except for tipping and entering towns to buy some food, along the way, without any stops. Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and they arrived in Quanzhou in September.
Waiting for Ling Qingyu in Quanzhou is not only the Fengshen, but also the sea ships that came to pick up people and the new shipyard. This time, not only the 7,000 soldiers of Fang Nianyuan, but also the 8,000 newly recruited by Han Bian, Shen Zhan and others will be taken away. people. After the catastrophe last year, the immoral order issued by the Zhengshitang to confiscate the land if they did not come back for three months made a large number of low-end third-class households directly unemployed. The Ling family's willingness to summon sailors naturally agreed with it, and issued the passage documents very quickly.
September is when the monsoon begins, and this time there are as many as 15 seagoing ships departing from Quanzhou one after another. The departure of three ships caused a sensation in the entire city of Quanzhou for several days.
Watching Dong Min's team walk away, He Li said: "General, that Supervisor Zhang, let's kill him." Although he has been guarded, it is impossible to prevent Dong Min from meeting him at a time like this.
Yang Zhao nodded, and said, "He's been sick for three months, and it's about time he should die." Supervisor Zhang has been in Heishuiguan for so many years, and he has set up some eyes and ears.
