"Okay, that's it. The matter is done. I'll go back to the military camp first." Ma Min waved his hand, nodded to Sister Li Xiu with a smile, turned around and left.
Sister Li Xiu watched the three people walking away, and she could still hear their voices. It was Ma Min reminding Wu Beichang that he would be given ten acres of good land, so don't fool him.
Wu Beichang agreed wholeheartedly, "Mr. Guo has been fighting against the rebels through life and death, how can we treat his family badly? Don't worry, we have ten acres of good land, the best."
"The houses are not good either. There are already hundreds of households, so I lose my identity." Ma Min took the chicken feathers as arrows, and with Zhang Pan's instructions, he simply tried to get more for Guo Dajing.
"It will be big in the spring." Wu Beichang hurriedly agreed and said: "If you have a few days free, call more people, and it will be built in a few days."
Ma Min nodded, very satisfied, and said: "Don't worry, Guo Baihu is a generous man and will not let you work in vain."
This is true. Guo Dajing asked Ma Min to do something, but he also bought him a lot of things, and even treated him to drinks and dinner. Although he didn't have to be so philistine, he could still handle this small matter with his relationship with Ma Min.
The person was far away and the voice could no longer be heard, so Sister Li Xiu withdrew her gaze.
"Brother Jing has become an official." Xiaoni couldn't help shouting happily when she saw no one else around, "We want to live in a big house."
Li Xiucheng also grinned and asked his sister in confusion: "Sister, that village chief Wu said that I am Brother Dajing's brother-in-law. What is the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law?"
Sister Li Xiu's face felt hot. She didn't know how to answer, so she pretended not to hear and turned around and entered the house.
Cloth, cotton, tea, candied fruits, sugar, wine, ham, bronze mirror, needles and thread... and a box of rouge gouache.
There are many styles of things. It doesn't feel like targeted shopping, but more like scanning the shelves and buying whatever you see.
The two children quickly set their sights on candied fruits, something from the South that they had never seen before, let alone eaten.
"It's delicious, so sweet." Xiao Ni picked up a piece and handed it to Sister Li Xiu's mouth.
Sister Li Xiu smiled and took it into her mouth, nodding her head. It tasted really good.
"Brother Guo earned this all by working hard outside." Sister Li Xiu put away the candied fruits and said, "You can only eat one piece a day. You have to know how valuable things are."
Xiao Ni nodded obediently and said, "I know, I know, these are all replaced by human heads."
This child——Sister Li Xiu smiled helplessly and reached out to touch Xiao Ni's head.
The two children happily went out to carry water again. Sister Li Xiu carefully put away everything, holding the bronze mirror that was not too big, staring at the blurry face inside, sometimes pursed her lips and smiled, sometimes frowned
Sad, I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
………………
On the fifth day of February (some say early March), news of Jianlu's invasion of North Korea reached Beijing. The North Korean envoy Kim Sang-hyun in Beijing reported to the Ministry of War of Civilization, requesting the Ming Dynasty to attack Liaodong to relieve the siege of North Korea.
In fact, Dongjiang Town's information about Jianlu's invasion of the country was sent to Denglai and the capital on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it reached the Ministry of War in early February.
However, the Ministry of War is not convinced about this. In the past, intelligence was also sent from Dongjiang Town or Liaoxi, and only after screening, it would take action.
But this time, the kings and ministers of North Korea only sent people to report the news after they learned that Jianlu had entered the court on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. Although the news was confirmed, it was already several days late.
Feng Jiahui, Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, immediately reported and sent 3,000 sailors from Juehua Island, 3,000 soldiers from Denglai, plus some troops from Tianjin to cooperate with Mao Wenlong to rescue North Korea.
Feng Jiahui also suggested that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong in Ningyuan, be ordered to send troops to criticize the overlords and suppress the weak, which was approved by Emperor Tianqi.
At this time, the Ming court remembered that it seemed to owe Dongjiang Town food and wages, and was afraid that the hungry Dongjiang Army would not be able to support it, let alone support the DPRK with all its strength.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, which was now very busy, began to allocate money and food again. The Ministry of Household Affairs should pay more than 100,000 taels of silver, and Tianjin sent eight ships of military supplies, worth 50,000 shi.
On the seventh day of February, the Ming court received an urgent report from Li Song, the governor of Denglai. Regardless of its own difficulties, the Dongjiang Army attacked bravely and won consecutive victories.
"... Mao Wenlong was able to withstand the enemy's fierce attack and quickly sweep away the power at the raging front. Now he has escorted twenty-three living barbarians and one thousand, two hundred and sixty-three golden heads. They have been inspected and examined one by one.
Really, Mao Shuai’s achievements are almost unmatched.”
Lord Li Song did not hesitate to praise Mao Wenlong and the great victory achieved by the Dongjiang Army.
Then, Mr. Li mentioned in his report that after hearing that Jianlu was attacking the dynasty, he immediately transported 30 ships of meters from Denglai to Pi Island, "relieving the danger of hanging upside down", and the Dongjiang Army was deeply encouraged...
Look, what I said is clear, right? The Dongjiang Army was able to achieve a great victory because Master Li provided timely support for the whole battle. How could they win the battle without having enough food? Master Li deserves a full share of the credit for this.
It's just that the time of transporting grain was advanced a little, and Mr. Li took the credit firmly. It can be said that he can't do anything and strive for the first place in the credit.
Knowing that Dongjiang Town is short of food and wages, why did you go there?
Mao Wenlong's victory report was also unambiguous. He divided the battle into seven times. Seven battles and seven victories sounded really enjoyable, and it meant that he would win every battle.
The sky was dark and the earth was dark, and there was no light from the sun or the moon. All the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army fought bravely and fought bloody battles. Under the wise command of Mao Shuai, they defeated the enemies of Foyuncong, Tieshan, Lianke Longchuan, Yizhou...
Well, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone was bragging, each one more outrageous than the other, and the war reports could make a lot of money.
For example, Mao Wenlong said that 100,000 captives were needed to attack the country. When Governor Yuan heard this, he had to find a reason not to send troops to rescue. So, he reported that 100,000 captives were sent to defend the country.
Now it’s okay, you have 100,000, I have 100,000, we are all big people in Yali Mountain. Then don’t save anyone, just go about your own business!
But no matter what, the Dongjiang Army did take the initiative to fight. Moreover, the results achieved this time were real, as evidenced by more than a thousand heads, and more than 20 living barbarians were captured.
Although it was the result of many battles, it was the first time since the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu that so many heads were delivered at one time.
The carpenter emperor Long Yan was very pleased and issued an edict to commend "Shuai Mao, who was isolated on an island. He tried his best to contain the madness, set up surprise ambushes, and achieved many victories. All thanks to the factory ministers, who secretly plotted and designed the industry. This capture of the great leader has been reported."
After a long time. Now that I have examined and understood it, I will proceed to rectify the Dharma with the tight solution."
The Dongjiang Army won the battle, so what did it have to do with Old Eunuch Wei? It can only be said that Emperor Tianqi was too kind to Old Wei, and he got all the credit for everything.
The great victory in Ningyuan was due to Old Wei, the construction of the Three Palaces was due to Old Wei, the Xifeng Pass was built, Shanhaiguan City was built, the case of the King of Thieves' Jin Prison, the completion of Xiaoling Tomb in Nanjing, the victory in Ganzhen, and the capture of the thieves were all planned and planned by Old Wei.
Not all of them were rewarded by the emperor. In order to flatter themselves, the ministers below rushed to put credit on Old Wei's head. I guess Old Wei was confused as to how powerful the Za family was.
But there is a saying that although Wei Zhongxian is not a good person, he is not a fool when it comes to some important matters. He was the one who transferred over 100,000 yuan in unpaid wages to Dongjiang Town.
