Chapter 3230

When the Haihan Army first arrived in Fushan County twenty-three years ago, it was a small, dilapidated coastal county, filled with a large number of refugees from the east after the Denglai Rebellion, as well as rogue bandits from all walks of life in the mountainous areas near the county.

At that time, the government was too overwhelmed to take care of itself and was unable to rescue the refugees or eliminate the bandits, let alone expel the Haihan army that broke into Fushan County without authorization.

Haihan quickly established a stronghold on Zhifu Island near the coast. While gathering refugees in the name of disaster relief and transporting them by sea to settle in the south, he also sent troops to annihilate banditry around the county and restore social order.

A series of measures taken after Haihan arrived in Fushan County basically emptied the local government and replaced all its functions.

In just about half a year, Haihan took control of the eastern part of Fushan County and began to organize people to mine copper mines outside the county. This became one of the most sought-after local industries in the next twenty years.

During this period, although the Dengzhou Ming Army took some actions to try to drive Haihan out of Fushan County, the effect was not ideal. Instead, they continued to lose troops and generals. At one time, even the city of Dengzhou was in danger. From then on, they pretended to be deaf to the situation in Fushan County.

Dumb, I dare not take the initiative to provoke Haihan again.

Then Haihan used Zhifu Port in Fushan County as its base, marched into Liaodong, and seized Jinzhou from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. From then on, Haihan's pincer-like power on the north and south sides of the Bohai Bay began to take shape, regardless of whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

They were unable to drive Haihan out of that area.

After more than 20 years of development in the Ming Dynasty, Fushan County has already become the center of the Denglai region, and its permanent population has exceeded that of Dengzhou City and Laizhou City, the former state capitals, reaching hundreds of thousands in the Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, Fushan County was no longer an old city with much popularity, while the large sea-facing plains on both sides of the river had evolved into a prosperous new city.

The urban planning there was not designed according to Haihan standards, and Haihan-style buildings with simple and square shapes can be seen everywhere. People who come there for the first time from the Ming Dynasty ruling area often feel that there is an indescribable ""

Exotic".

The wars and famines in the past seemed to have left no trace in the east. Fushan has become the area with the best security and the most developed economy in the entire Shandong.

The locals in Bu Nao all know that the basic conditions of Fushan County are actually not very good. However, a large part of the reason for the good situation is due to Chen Yixin's intentional support over the years.

After all, the governor of the Northern Region is very much the son-in-law of Majiazhuang, Fushan County, and he can be considered a half-local.

After Chen Yixin arrived in Fushan County that time, he did not return to Majiazhuang immediately, but immediately convened a meeting of military officers at the Zhifu Island Naval Base. In addition, a large number of troops have recently come to Fushan County from other places to gather, and various

War supplies are arriving at Zhifu Port one after another, and anyone with a discerning eye can smell the unusual smell.

Although Haihan did not declare war on the Ming Dynasty at this time, everyone knows that Haihan has two decent rivals in the north, one is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other is the Ming Dynasty. The one closer to Fushan County naturally has the Ming Dynasty.

Already.

However, the local people misunderstood the signs of war but did not show up, because everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty was unable to launch an offensive, and the main attacker in the war would be Haihan. Therefore, the battlefield would not be outside Fushan County, or even

Not in the Denglai area controlled by Haihan in Rumin.

Of course, if the two countries go to war again, Fushan County will definitely be affected. As the first area occupied by Haihan in Shandong, Fushan County has been a source of troops for twenty years, such as the Fushan children who served in the army.

But there are quite a few.

People from Buluo Fushan who enlisted in the army were usually not assigned to serve locally. Most of them were stationed in Liaodong. Therefore, even if the locals were aware that the war was coming, it was difficult to contact their family members in the military to inquire about specific information.

Ruming's only reliable source of information besides the military is probably in Majiazhuang, East. Many people are waiting for Chen Yixin to return to Majiazhuang to visit relatives. After that, more precise news will come out.

When Chen Yixin left the Zhifu Island base after the meeting, it was already midnight that day.

The lights in Bu Nao's Majiazhuang were still bright at this time. The young and old of the Ma family who had received Kuai Ma's message were waiting outside in advance to welcome Chen Yixin's return.

Chen Yixin's private residence is built just outside Majiazhuang, but as the governor of the Northern Region, he spends about half of his time touring various places every year, supervising various military and political affairs. When he actually lived in Majiazhuang, he did not

Often, I only come back once every few months.

Chen Yixin came from the east by carriage and was surprised to see such a scene. After greeting several elders of the Ma family one by one, he asked everyone to go back and rest.

Ma Yuling came forward, stretched out her legs to lightly dust Chen Yixin's coat, and said softly: "You must be hungry at this late hour, right? I don't like the food made at home."

Chen Yixin held Ma Yuling's leg and said softly: "Juan, go home!"

Compared with some other time-travelers who have many wives and concubines, Chen Yixin is relatively single-minded in his relationship. After marrying Ma Yuling, he did not wander around.

Given his status, there were countless high-ranking officials who actively sought marriage, but Chen Yixin had always declined such good intentions and was not even willing to marry a concubine.

The two have been married for more than 20 years and have a son and a daughter. They have a harmonious family and a stable relationship. They can be regarded as a model couple of that era.

Of course, Ma Yuling did not need to do it herself when she returned home to serve tea and water to Chunwan. The host quickly delivered hot meals.

A dish of fried fish fillets, a dish of stir-fried diced chicken, and a dish of shredded yam, all of which were cooked by Ma Yuling herself.

Chen Yixin picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites, nodded and said, "I'm sure the one I made tastes delicious!"

Ma Yuling smiled and said: "Did you not eat Huaiyang delicacies when you went to Hangzhou?"

Chen Yixin said: "If there is delicious food, there will be no time to enjoy it. I think about it, almost every meal is attended by dozens or hundreds of people, and the toasting team can line up several times around the table, but it would be nice to take the time to eat just a few bites of the food.

!”

Ma Yuling asked again: "Then the official business went well, right?"

Chen Yixin nodded and said: "I think it went well. I will have to go to Hangzhou several times every year from now on, so I will have less time at home."

The news that Chen Yixin was elected to the executive committee had been informed to his family before he left.

However, for objective reasons, he cannot give up his status as the governor of the Northern Region for the time being and go to the capital to serve as a full-time bureaucrat, so for a period of time after the Ming Dynasty, he can probably run back and forth between the two ends.

Ma Yuling said: "Then I will stay at home for a longer period of time when I have free time."

Chen Yixin shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a few days when I come back that time. Ma Zaiqiu is starting a war. He has to lead the troops to fight in person."

Ma Yuling's face changed slightly when she heard this and said: "Then over in Liaodong..."

"Liaodong is also asking for troops!" Chen Yixin knew what his wife wanted to ask and gave the answer before she could finish her words.
