Chapter 282
On the country roads in Zhejiang, more than three dozen ride the fast roads along the coastal ridges of the fast horses and run forward quickly. The sun is almost setting, the sun is still on the top of the mountain, and there is no sun bathing under the mountain.
When passing by a hillside, a knight turned his head involuntarily and suddenly, with a loud horror, hurriedly strangled the rein. The head of Jianmaang hissed and stood upright, immediately straddling the horses after seeing dozens of rides.
The man dismounted, walked to the roadside and looked at the land on the hillside. After a while, he turned around and suddenly asked the other person for a knife and squatted on the hillside to dig up.
The seedlings spreading to the ground were set aside, and the man took out dozens of large and small red tuber-shaped fruits from a ridge of soil, held it to the side of the stream with joy, and washed it in the cool river water , And then took a piece of "click" and took a bite, then greeted everyone else with great interest to try it.
An old farmer carrying a turned out of nowhere. When he saw the situation, he immediately raised the and rushed in angrily. He said from afar, "What are you doing? How do you steal crops?"
A big bearded man with a big face said with a loud voice: "Who steals the crops? Our elder ... The eldest son is just trying to taste this stuff, you old man ...".
A young man shouted: "Big mallet, shut up!" Then he walked over and smiled and said: "Old man, I'm sorry, passing here, look at this rare crop, not our original species, so I dug it out Try it. "
He looked around happily and smiled, "This is your old place, right? Well, big mallet, quickly pay half of the money to the elderly."
The old man glanced at the young man's beautiful eyes and handsome character. Not only was the silk robe very expensive, but so many people followed. It seems that it must be a grandson with a long history, and the anger on his face has calmed down.
He put down his and said, "This son, something from the family, is not worth two dollars. The old man just mistakenly thought it was ... Hehehe, so he was afraid of damaging things. This thing is called sweet potatoes, sweet, son If you like it, eat more. It ’s worthless, you do n’t have to pay. "
Yang Ling took the copper coins from the big mallet and stuffed it into the hands of the old man. He smiled and said: "Don't say, the old man is also working hard to grow crops. I don't tell you, I have seen this thing. I heard that Zhejiang now only has military fields It ’s grown locally, why do you have it here? "
The old man smiled and said: "The son does not know. My seedlings were obtained from the military. My son-in-law is a school captain. He has been following an adult named Min to promote these things in the health center. Hearing that the yield is high, he got some seedlings to come back and let the old man plant it to try. "
"I don't want to ruin the land. This hillside was originally full of weeds. I didn't grow a lot of crops, so I planted this, hey, you don't say it. I don't care, it grows well, Except for pouring a few scoops of water at the beginning, the old man didn't care much about it, he didn't need to get fat, and grew crazy.
Look at the two ridges on the side, it's a little shorter, it's only three feet long. In those two ridges, most of the pockets were dug out, enough for the whole family to eat for several days. This stuff is delicious, and the children at home usually eat it as fruit. "
Yang Ling smiled and said with a smile: "You can't just eat this thing, don't you panic after three meals a day?"
The old man smiled happily: "That's of course, it is mixed with other food to eat, this is still now, to catch up with the famine year. Who else is particular? The grass root bark Guanyin soil is used to stuff the stomach. Even the hungry people Eat, can you pick things up? "
He sighed: "The big locust plague that happened six years ago. There was no grass in the place. If there was such a thing at that time, would there be so many people starving to death in the village? Alas! Good things, everyone in the village Knowing that the crops are good for handling, high yield, and do not grab good fields, after the old man told them the method of cutting seedlings, how many have now cultivated barren land for trial planting, which was planted last month, and it can be estimated in two months Grow into ".
Yang Ling nodded happily again and again, he pointed at another piece of tunnel: "That ... was also obtained from Juntunli? Is it called potato?"
The old man turned his head and smiled, "Is that called a potato? The thing is round and bean-like, it's big, plus it grows in the soil, so we call it potatoes here, that Things are not as good as sweet potatoes, cooked with dipping sauce and served as a good dish, the old man is thinking about waiting for the harvest and then cooked, dried and ground into noodles, leaving a wasteland. "
Yang Ling happily talked with the old man standing on the ridge in the field for a while, and learned about the situation of the local bandits and bandits. After sending the old man away, Yang Ling looked around the cropland and said: "It seems that this thing is really in Da Ming. Healed, Hunan, Shaanxi, is more mature than here, but there should be a harvest. If there is a good harvest this year, people will have to take the initiative to plant next year without being forced by the government.
Now there is a bit of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the biggest impact on the people is the crop harvest. People take food as the top priority. Oh, with these high-yield coarse grain supplements, the court will pay more attention to protection and support in civil affairs. The problem of ordinary people's meals should be solved to a considerable extent. "
Liu Dabangmao blinked a pair of mung bean eyes and swallowed. "It's good to solve it, just solve it. I said handsome, looking at the sun as it went down. Shall we hurry? If it's tonight Without Xianxialing, our accommodation and meals will not be solved. "
Yang Ling glared at him angrily and ridiculously, and said with curse: "To tell you to play the piano to the cow and get on the horse, let's speed up our journey."
Xianxia Pass, a dangerous place in the southeast, and Tongtong in Fujian. The five hundred miles of ancient Xia Xia Road, which was launched by General Huang Chao in the past, is the only way to communicate Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. A group of fast horses disappeared on the horizon with the last sunset.
In the military camp outside Fujian.
There was a pool in front of him. Adeni stood by the pool, holding a plank of wood standing upright, looking at the water with his waist focused. The surface of the water was very muddy, but it was also very calm. At this moment, there was a loud bang, and Adenie lowered his head subconsciously. When I looked at the probe again, I saw waves tumbling violently in the pool, and a water column two feet high had just fallen.
Zheng Lao and Cheng Qiyun also kept their heads hiding behind the isolated wooden board, and Zheng Lao looked at the surging water and said: "It ’s amazing, just build a guy that is several times bigger as long as When the bomb was standing, a hole was made under the ship's side, and the enemy's warship had to be sunk.
This thing is good. Sixty-two silver to build a mine, can destroy a tens of thousands of worth, equipped with artillery and hundreds of dry soldiers and warships, and without hurting his own soldiers, hey, the old man played with firearms for life, how I never thought that I could use firearms underwater, and the wonders of the adults who sent them were like a human being. "
Cheng Qiyun shook the water droplets on her shirt. Laughed: "What kind of heavenly man is you, Mr. Zheng. I have thought about flying in the sky in a horse-drawn carriage. If you really made it, would you like to boast of my whimsy like a heavenly man?" ? Oh, adults said that day the boat can also travel underwater. Do you say it is possible? "
Master Lao said with a smile: "The car and the ship are flying in the sky, the bottom of the water, it is a bit incredible, unimaginable. Unthinkable. But ... This method of mine laying in the water, when the old man listened to the adults, he felt reliable, just because It is a firearm. No one really thought about letting this firearm be used in water before, but adults still dare to think what others do not dare to think about. "
Cheng Qiyun smiled and said: "What dare to think of others do not dare to think, I think the ignorant are fearless!"
Cheng Qiyun dared to make a joke about Yang Ling, but old Master Zheng didn't dare. He smiled and said, "No matter what, now I see this thing being groped a little bit, and I am happy!"
Adeni looked at the water unpredictably, frowned for a long time, and shook his head: "Master Yang's idea is indeed brilliant, and I have never heard of being able to attack enemy ships underwater. In mine mines, the installation of more than a hundred mines is worth more than a hundred warships. But the mines we manufacture now are not very useful. "
She pointed to the surface of the water and said: "Look. First of all, we need to understand the depth of the enemy ship's draught. The depth of the sea water is only when these two are fighting on the unfamiliar sea. It is difficult to have enough time to measure in advance. Also Yes, it is pulled by rope. The effective range of the naval gun is at least about 140 feet. This requires how long the rope. Such a long rope will be triggered by the enemy ship before it arrives. Mine. The most important thing is, how can we ensure that the enemy ship will travel along the mineway? Just a few feet away, it is difficult to blow up the enemy ship. "
Old Lao Zheng couldn't help but frown, and stroked his white beard, saying: "The girl's statement makes perfect sense. It seems that even if this kind of mine is successfully developed, it's useless."
Adeni shook his head: "Otherwise, if this kind of mine is placed near the port terminal, then the water level and route are fixed, the soldiers are maneuvering in the bunker on the shore, and the enemy ship cannot be seen or found at sea, even if there are no heavy soldiers on the shore. With artillery, it can also prevent enemy ships from approaching. It is definitely not too small, but it is not suitable for fighting at sea. "
Zheng Laoxuan pondered: "If this thunder is to be able to go out to sea, it seems that it is impossible to use an iron anchor to fix the water level, and no manpower to manipulate the explosion ...".
He was pacing around like a chanting mantra, and his mouth kept repeating 'To be able to automatically locate the depth, to be able to automatically explode when it touched the enemy ship', mumbled for a long time, and Mr. Zheng suddenly raised his robe to run wild Get up and run while yelling: "Goozi, Ronaldinho, hurry up and bring me" Yizhuxiang "," Wang Dian ", and" Horseshoe Cannon ".
Adeni stepped forward to follow, Cheng Qiyun smiled and stopped: "Zheng Lao must have some experience, don't disturb him, make him an expert, or let him think about it, wait for something to look like , Let's look at the effect again. "
Adeni stopped when she heard the words, and the two women slowly walked back into the shade, sat on the wicker chair, and took a cup to drink tea. Adene looked at Cheng Qiyun and asked with a little shyness: "Sister Yun, Yang, when will you come back?"
Cheng Qiyun looked at her with a smile, Ye Yan said: "Why? Miss him only a few days later?"
Adeni blushed sullenly, and said softly, "I don't have it, it's just ... just ...".
Cheng Qiyun smiled slightly. Interface said: "I know, I understand your mood, although the people here treat you well, but you also know that it is because of Yang's relationship. If there is no him, even if someone else likes you ... but that People may not care about your talents at all, nor will they respect you like Master Yang. You never know that you will go there tomorrow, and your heart is full of loneliness and fear ... ".
Adeni's eyes lit up and said in amazement: "Yes. That's how it feels. Sister Yun, you can really see through people's hearts, so I've been ... always afraid of your eyes. Why can you understand this? ....... Smart people like you have also encountered me like this? "
Cheng Qiyun smiled sadly and gently took her hand and said softly: "Silly girl, your destiny is a hundred times stronger than mine. If you don't meet Master Yang. I don't know what it will be like now. ".
She raised her head and looked at the corner of the void with blurry eyes, slowly saying: "This world is man's, the woman's cleverness and beauty can only be used to add to the man's icing on the cake. If you are lucky. You can meet a love you Your man, it has been a blessing for many generations. Women simply cannot control their own destiny ... ".
With a sigh, she suddenly said to Adnie curiously: "I heard the lord say, in your country. Men can only marry a woman, even the king, is that true? It's hard to imagine, where are you? The man ... is amazing. "
Adeni twitched her lips and smiled lightly: "Yes, they only married a woman home, but there are many lovers outside, these lovers ... many of them are other women's."
The two women were quiet. Suddenly all laughed suddenly.
Cheng Qiyun smiled over her belly and said, "Man are all cats secretly, as long as you give him a chance. Huh! Man, there is no good thing!"
Adeni smiled and said with a smile: "If Yang is a good thing without stealing, will Yuner sister laugh so happy today?"
"Ah?" Cheng Qiyun's face flushed red, and there was a trace of shame in her eyes: "This dead girl ...!"
She bit her silver teeth and sullenly distracted the subject: "Adnie, you grew up in that place, and now you are in a place like Daming. You want to have a husband with others. Do you really want to? ? "
Adeni stared for a moment and nodded solemnly, "I will!"
"Sister Yun. If you're drifting on the sea for three years, and have spent three years in danger, when you come to a completely strange place, when you can never go back to your hometown, then you are I won't complain about the differences between the customs here and my hometown.
You will only be grateful, thank God for arranging a safe place for you, for someone who loves you, for someone who can give you happiness. God closed a door, and a window will be opened. I am willing to believe and obey God's arrangement, and firmly grasp the happiness he gave me. Therefore, I love Yang, and I am willing to accompany him without complaining .... It's that simple. "
Cheng Qiyun was touched by her words all at once. Although the two people's encounters are different, they have too much in common. They also have the superb talents and beauty that many women do not have. Bo, who is also a fallen man ...
After a while, the wandering minds of the two men recovered. Cheng Qiyun whispered: "After the South China Sea crisis is resolved, I will leave for Guizhou and Sichuan to tour, and will not return to Jinling for the time being. The princess girl is on the verge of being ready. Go and visit. The adult left without permission, so I dare not stay for a long time, I think it should be back in a few days. "
At this moment, a bodyguard came hurriedly, clenched his fist and said: "Senior Master. He Zongbing invites you to go with Girl Adni."
Cheng Qiyun and Adeni got up quickly after hearing the words, and followed him to the commander-in-chief. Although Mr. He ’s handsome account is called an account, because this barracks is a permanent barracks, the general barracks are built as tile houses, divided into three front, middle and back rooms. local. In the middle is where the staff members analyze the military situation and plan strategies. At the end is the coach's study.
Cheng Qiyun and Adene hurried into the big account, and the front account was empty. Only four guards guarded the door. When I arrived at the second floor room, I saw a sand table on the left and a huge concave sink on the right. There were many small ship models floating on the clear water. The generals such as Han Wu and Peng Shark were standing around the sink.
He Bingwen was also standing there, observing the ship model being manipulated by both parties. When she saw her coming in, He Bingwen nodded slightly, but did not speak. The two of them walked past with ease.
Only Peng Shao said: "Our Daming Mariner's new warship equipped with Folang guns is naturally enough to fight against Western artillery ships, but if there is a better way, there is really no need to pay such a big price. Let's talk about our Small boats and old artillery cannot be abandoned. "
Han Wu nodded and said: "People Peng said that, now that military spending is tight. To continue casting new guns and new ships, at least for now, it is already somewhat stretched. Once the battlefield begins, we should still make full use of the original armament and let They all work. "
Shawn Peng said: "The old war on Dulong Island has been heard by the old man. At that time, the Western ship had used the weakness of our No. 2 blessing ship's hull to turn too much. If it was not because our warship was too At that time, it was inevitable to suffer a loss.
Now that we have equipped twelve new ships, the remaining military expenses can be built three more times, according to the spies' return. The full thorns and pirates used to use four warships when they captured the island, but since then, six warships have arrived successively, and Pedro has eaten our land and lost our strength. We were unable to understand our strength for a while. The fleet turned to the past.
In addition, Miyamoto also surrendered them. Their total number of ships is seventeen, slightly more than ours. Coupled with artillery manipulation skills and naval combat experience, they are superior to our ground naval divisions. If we fight hard with new warships. The chance of victory is still very small. Our advantage is that there are many ships and types of warships, so we should make full use of them. "
A relatively unfamiliar naval general said: "After we repeated the battle of Dulong Island repeatedly. Analyzing the opponent's tactics and warship characteristics, as well as the artillery lethality, we feel that there are still ways to win with more ships than widows. Tao ".
"Masters, please see, if the two sides start a sea battle, we will use the No. 4 and No. 5 bunkers to quickly rush into the enemy lineup and separate the Western warships. The small Blessed ship is fast and turns dexterously. The ship's side guns, and simultaneous attack in multiple directions, like this ... ".
He leaned over the water and moved the imitation Western three-masted ship model. The Fukuoka, which is a few smaller than it, outwrapped it from different angles with a multiple of the number. It looked like a plum blossom. The Daming warship was The petals, and the western ship that is divided into rushes are the stamens in the middle.
Regardless of the turning of the Western ship, the Daming warship with a large number of advantages has seized multiple favorable positions, and the artillery can always be under attack. Adeni is a master of this way. She only imagines in her mind that the battleships of both sides are true. The formation of this offensive and defensive situation changed his face.
She has absolutely no sympathy and pity for those Western pirates, but the warship equipment of these pirates is actually almost the same as that of the regular Portuguese navy. As a soldier's pride, she is unwilling to admit that her own army will be so vulnerable.
She couldn't help saying: "Masters, this is just a soldier on paper. To achieve this attack, you need to cooperate closely between the ships, you need the superb skills of the sailors, and you need to be able to communicate with each other at any time. It is just like an arm ... The degree of understanding between the arm and the arm.
But in fact, we have to equip new artillery, as long as we can make it, we can equip the army at any time, and to train such an army, it may take three years or even longer. Therefore, once this tactic fails, the enemy ship jumps out of the enclosure, and under the strong and dense firepower, these small ships with weak firepower will be destroyed one by one! "
Adeni pointed out mercilessly the biggest flaw in this ideal plan: the quality of the soldiers could not meet the tactical requirements of the commander, and the generals suddenly fell silent.
"The girl is right, so this alone is not enough. Fighting indiscriminately! We must fight indiscriminately! The old man is good at fighting indiscriminately in his life!" Peng Shark said straightforwardly, grabbed a few boats and put it on the boat. Next to the ship.
Adeni stared her beautiful eyes wide and asked in surprise: "General Peng, what does this mean ..."
Shark Peng shyly replied, "This is a fireboat and a chain trip boat. If you can burn, you can burn, or you can wrap it, and there are obstacles there. It is enough to offset the slowness of our cooperation."
Adeni thought about it, but this plan was feasible. In fact, although their boats there also have collision angles, but since the pirates and navy are all living in the maritime adventure, it is impossible to bring small boats that can be discarded and burned at any time, so I never thought In this way, the ship is directly used as a weapon.
She smiled bitterly and shrugged: "If so, I think ... it works."
He Bingwen kept silent. It was only at this time that he smiled and said, "Okay, then you have to think about it a lot, and now a large number of ships have been recovered from Shuangyu and Guidao, and they are all blocked in the harbour. You can choose some of them for spare"
He said to wink at Cheng Qiyun and Adene. Turned first into the inner study. Cheng Qiyun and Adene then entered the room, and saw a military officer wearing a turquoise mandarin suit sitting on a chair, embroidered with sea horses.
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty indicated the rank of their ranks with ‘clothes and beasts’, and embroidered poultry on civilian clothes. Embroidered beast on military officer's clothes, embroidered sea mana is the school captain of Jiu Pin, the lowest level among military officers. Cheng Qiyun wondered how this little official could sit in He Zongbing's handsome account, his expression was slightly surprised.
Upon seeing He Bingwen and them walk in, the school lieutenant immediately got up and saluted, respectfully and honestly said: "Master General."
He Bingwen sat behind the handsome chair and waved his hand: "No need to be discreet, sit down and say. Repeat the matter with the two girls in detail."
Cheng Qiyun and Adeni glanced at each other, and each sat on the chair. The nine-ranking military officer promised respectfully, and then sat back on the chair again, saying: "The humble job is the master of Zhu Jing, the master of Yuejing Dao Zhu Lu, was instructed to report the news of the Francois to He Hebingbing. "
Cheng Qiyun and Adni suddenly rejuvenated and leaned forward slightly, listening to him.
Oyster Mirror (Macau). Also known as Oyster Mirror O. This is an important port, because there are two mountains facing north and south in Australia. Therefore, also known as Macau, the imperial court set up sea lanes here to govern the past mooring vessels and island residents.
About five or six years ago, a group of foreigners with high noses and red hair resembling evil spirits berthed in Macau. They pretended to be foreign embassies. As the seawater wetted the salute items, they hoped that local officials would allow them to go ashore to dry. At that time, the ambassador to Haoyijing Haidao was an official with the surname Qiu, and after accepting their jewelry gift, he promised to let them park.
After these people went ashore, they first set up a canvas tent, and then gradually gained a lot of space, moved bricks and tiles, gathered houses, and slowly expanded their scale. The so-called messengers who temporarily hung the tribute land gradually became permanent residents.
These Francois robots did not collaborate and could not do business with the name of the court. Naturally, they had to do some smuggling. Fortunately, rabbits from other countries also understood the principle of not eating grass and nests. They were very kind to the local residents and often offered small favors. Moreover, he did not dare to commit evil in the local area of ​​Oyster Mirror. Since the Hokkaido made the following officials bribe, they opened their eyes and closed their eyes.
After seizing the Fang robots full of thorns and posing as tributaries in Guangdong, the ambassador yamen drew pictures and graphics, and spoke to all parts of the country. Ambassador Qiu was afraid of the official document when he saw the official document, so he hurriedly met the group of Fran robot leaders After accepting a large number of bribes again, they told them that Manchu plus pirates had harassed Daming, and asked them not to claim to be a Franco man in the future.
Ambassador Qiu helped them up with a new country name "Big Dog Chicken". These Franco robots came to the East early for adventures, and the Western pirates full of thorns did not know each other. They are now prosperous in smuggling business, of course, they do not want to be involved, so they promised.
However, after all, Ambassador Qiu was in charge of the relationship, so during this time he paid considerable attention to the movement of the imperial court. The movement of the imperial army, ships, and grain was gradually pointing to the south, and even the elite of the Zhejiang naval masters were transferred to Fujian. Even the blind man saw it. The imperial court was ready to help Manchuria and Canada return.
Ambassador Qiu was worried about fighting together, in case someone revealed that he had accommodated a large number of Folang robots. Yang beheaded will come to the door, and he will inevitably end up like Ruan Dawen and Wang Feiling, so the Haitian envoy summoned the Fro machine again and asked them to withdraw from Oi Jingao immediately.
These Franco robots asked for money, and asked women to give women. The picture was just to occupy a place to make money and make a profit. Nowadays, they have come down three or five times, and even the hard-working smuggling base has been lost. Will they willingly take it?
Pleading for bribery will not result. These Franco robots were also on fire. The two sides fought, and Ambassador Qiu was bombarded with muskets. The Franco robbers who fled the catastrophe also fled from Oujingao.
They fled in a panic and drove a boat to the sea. Because the Ming Navy sailors headed for Manchuria and Canada, they were also waiting in line. They did not have much artillery on the ship and dared not break in. The ground soldiers of the Hokkaido Division were chasing tightly, so they fled all the way north, and now they docked at Huzhouyu, opposite Fujian.
The Department of Haidao did not dare to go all out after chasing halfway, and only made two Clippers to track, and these major events did not dare to hide. Then he reported to the governor Yamen. After hearing this, the ambassador did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent the reporter to the governor ’s office again, asking Yang Lingding to take the matter.
Cheng Qiyun asked in detail about the situation of the Buddha robots, the number of people and the number of ships. Then she raised her eyebrows silently. General Manager He waved his hand to let the captain retreat, and then he coughed aloud: "Senior Cheng, Girl Adeni, this ... Master Yang is not in the camp because of some private affairs, so it is inconvenient to go out, but this Waiting for the military aircraft to be delayed again, please two of you, just want to discuss, what do we do?
Although these Franco robots have no direct relationship with Manchurian pirates. But after all, the same ancestors and the same ancestors, their corrupt officials with the same surname Qi angered and killed only one person. Nowadays, most of these Buddha robots bring wives and belts, but most of the 800 people are women and children who have fled in a panic. Will they be granted the truth if they try to kill all the people? Stimulate revenge with thorns and pirates?
When the adults were leaving, they repeatedly confessed not to fight the battle of uncertainty and the battle of unpreparation. Many of our preparations for war are still in preparation. Now provoke war. Is it the most appropriate time? "
Although he asked the ground for two people, his eyes kept looking at Cheng Qiyun. Adeni also turned her head and looked at Cheng Qiyun, her eyes staring at her.
Cheng Qiyun rolled her eyes annoyedly: "Why are you looking at me? I am not a roundworm in his stomach. The two of you are the Chief Soldier of Fujian Province, and the other is the Counselor of the Governor's Mansion. Do you want me to be the head of the house or let the old lady take the black pot once she is out? "
Although Cheng Qiyun has a lot of wits, she came up with an idea for those in the upper ranks to adopt. It was also a little panic in her heart to ask her to take the responsibility for such a major responsibility.
Moreover, Yang Ling is no longer Wuxia Ameng. In politics and military affairs, he is increasingly showing his unique views and self-assertion. Sometimes he looks farther than her. Cheng Qiyun is not so confident in herself.
She pondered Yang Ling's words and deeds, thinking about what kind of psychology it would be if he were here, how she would decide, what purpose she wanted to achieve, and she gradually outlined a clearer corridor.
He Zongbing and Adene saw her mouth slowly lifted up, revealing a cunning, even a treacherous smile, she knew that she had a plan, He Bingwen was relieved and sat back on the handsome chair and laughed Tao: "Could Master Cheng have a abdominal case?"
Cheng Qiyun's eyes turned and she smiled and said: "Adult is not at home, everyone has something to discuss. If you want me to say, let's make a decision!"
