Lord of the House

Chapter 23: The late winter startling the spring dream

In the early morning of early winter, Jiyang County, Pingjiang Prefecture, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, was shrouded in a layer of mist, and the grass and wooden houses in the four fields were vaguely obscured. Leaving the Yangtze River and entering the Donglai River waterway from Hechazikou, more than ten miles to the south is Jiyang Lake. Jiyang County is located on the south bank of the lake. From a distance, the jagged city head and a few branches and leaves are only hanging. The sparse-leaved mulberry elm is especially thin in the fog.

The north bank of Jiyang Lake is the resident of Ninghai Town Water Camp, which is half camp city and half water village. In the alley of Shuizhai Lake, dozens of warships of different sizes are quietly displayed, covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the surroundings are quiet. Quietly, except for the occasional clear rooster crowing to pierce the loneliness of the morning.

The imperial court did not pay much attention to the construction of naval forces. In the early years, the naval forces in the town army system with border defense significance were only the naval forces in Penglai Town, Dengzhou Prefecture, with only four battalions of 2,000 soldiers at full strength. At first, there were only infantry in Ninghai Town. In the past 100 years, the pirates of the lake have become more and more rampant, and Ninghai Town has established a permanent navy army on the basis of incorporating the forces of Yangtianshun Water Village in Taihu Lake, which is only six battalions. Over the years, the military discipline of the military towns in various places has deteriorated, and the generals of the army have been repeatedly banned. Ninghai Town is no exception. How many soldiers are there in the Sixth Battalion Navy Division? Xiao Taoyuan, the navy generals, knew this clearly.

Xiao Taoyuan, the deputy cavalry commander of Ninghai Town and the commander of the naval division of Ninghai Town, usually does not live in Yingcheng. He has a garden outside Jiyang County, which is also close to Yingcheng. He usually lives in the garden.

It was late in the early winter, Xiao Taoyuan woke up and opened his eyes to see the blue light coming in from the window, the fog was heavy, and the two warm bodies that were tossing at night so his bones were about to fall apart were slippery like nephrite jade. He was sleeping soundly against his chest, and his slightly exposed shoulders were as white and tender as snow. Xiao Taoyuan's hand under the quilt touched the fat and slippery buttocks of the woman on the left. The woman wriggled in her sleep, and the two lumps of flesh on her chest made Xiao Taoyuan scream comfortably under her ribs, and Xiao Taoyuan's slender legs also wrapped around Xiao Taoyuan. Taoyuan's hair tightened on his thighs, and Xiao Taoyuan was interested, and hooked his fingers to squeeze and dig into the woman's plump buttocks. At this time, the sound of galloping horses' hooves broke the silence of the morning.

The four seas are not peaceful. This month, only Yanjiang Town and Caoshi in Pingjiang Prefecture have been robbed by pirates Jiang gangsters four times. install. Hearing the sound of horse hooves like drums in the early morning, Xiao Taoyuan's sexuality was like the first snow that was poured with hot water, and it melted away. what happened.

The two pretty concubines were also awakened, their heads stuck out of the quilt, and looked at Xiao Taoyuan suspiciously: "What happened?"

The people in the guard's room outside were also startled by the sound of horses' hooves, and heard someone shouting from a distance: "Changshan Island urgent report!"

What happened to Changshan Island? Xiao Taoyuan climbed out of the bed, stood barefoot on the bed pedals, and ordered, "Quickly bring your clothes."

Seeing Xiao Taoyuan's serious expression, the two concubines didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly got out of bed to help him get his robes. They were naked and didn't care about the cold, so they waited on Xiao Taoyuan to get dressed first.

Xiao Taoyuan couldn't wait for the front of his clothes to be fastened, so he went outside in an open robe, and the two concubines dressed and dressed calmly. The people outside were all talking in a low voice. After a while, there was a sound of "bang". I don't know who smashed the teacup on the brick floor and smashed it to pieces. The two concubines were startled and their eyebrows were drawn crookedly. , and then heard Xiao Taoyuan so gloomy that people only shivered and scolded: "You don't see people in life, you don't see corpses in death—what kind of military intelligence are you investigating? They all eat shit! Check it out for me. Which group of pirates robbed people, Chongzhou sent people to watch... No, I don't worry about the others, Baiming, you go there in person, and Ruize Camp will bring you there, and they said to strengthen the patrol of Chongzhou along the river... At this time, I will manage What kind of order does he have? If there is a situation, kill it if you need it. Don't hesitate. It's a big deal to go to sea... I know this matter in my heart, and I will ignore anyone's summons at this time! I will live and go back to the military camp. Qianhu, You go to the city and take Nagasawa and Changhui to the military camp, and the others will be ignored for now!" The two concubines looked at each other and thought to themselves, who is the one who annoyed the master, and the days to come will be difficult again! While he was in a daze, the room was suddenly pushed open, Xiao Yuanyuan strode in, went to get the saber on the desk, saw the concubine sitting at the dressing table looking at him in a daze, hesitated for a while, and said, "You guys quickly pack up. For a moment, ignore the useless things... and live with me in the barracks!"

These two women were originally prostitutes in Pingjiang Prefecture, and they redeemed Xiao Taoyuan to be concubines. They were not accepted by Xiao Taoyuan's wife Xiao Chen, so Xiao Taoyuan bought them outside Jiyang County and near the military camp. Placing them in a garden is already against military discipline, let alone bringing the concubines directly into the military camp?

After hearing Xiao Taoyuan's words, the two concubines were even more panicked: What happened, Xiao Taoyuan actually took both sons and them to the military camp and prepared to run away?

Xiao Taoyuan couldn't care about the feelings of the two women, and he was also panicked. He robbed the meat ticket a month ago, in addition to coveting 30,000 taels of redemption silver, he also wanted to take the opportunity to secretly build his own pirate force on Changshan Island. With this deputy cavalry captain from the fourth rank? Where did you think that the first chess piece was placed in this plan, and it suffered such a heavy setback? The fifteen elites sent to Changshan Island in advance and the thirty-one meat tickets disappeared from Changshan Island without a trace. If things leak out, no matter which one is a catastrophe, Xiao Taoyuan's heart is not panic!

Xiao Taoyuan's first thought when he heard the news was to go to sea immediately. In a hurry, Xiao Taoyuan has no confidence at all that how many soldiers from the water camp will go out to sea with him as bandits, can he pull out half of them? Xiao Taoyuan thinks about it and hangs! Even if you can take away half of the water camp's strength, how can you stand on the sea without any preparation? Most importantly, the She family and the imperial court have already negotiated the conditions for splitting the earth and ennobled feudal lords. Ninghai Zhenshuiying and the East Pirates have deep grievances, and neither the She family nor the East Pirates will allow him to establish a foothold in the East China Sea.

This time must be calm! He, Xiao Taoyuan, is not the only one who has acted recklessly these days. Although he Xiao Taoyuan did a bit too much this time, those generals who killed the good and took advantage of the good, stole and stole, and disturbed the place were not so clean! Xiao Taoyuan thought to himself: the imperial court is afraid that it does not want to change the southeast again. Besides, it is not known to which force the people of Changshan Island were robbed for the time being. After being rescued, maybe things will turn around. Right now, as long as you are fully prepared, it is too unwise to rush the facts without thinking about anything!

****************

Starting from Qingjiangpu in Huaian, Lin Fu and Zhou Pu first hired a horse-drawn carriage to send Su Mei, Xiaoman and Feng Peipei outside Jiangning City. They did not enter Jiangning City, but hired a boat to go down the river and dive to Listen to the wind in Chongzhou. The first step for Qin Chengzu, Fu Qinghe and the others was to go to Xinpu County to pick up the injured Liuma bandit. UUkanshu.com has not yet gone south.

As expected by Lin Fu, the people from Changshan Island left the island, and Xiao Taoyuan did not take the risk and rush to the sea to become a pirate, but sent his cronies, Ninghai Town Shuiying Cavalry Commander Chen Baiming to lead the crowd to Chongzhou to check the situation. , Hu Qiaoguan and other meat ticket teenagers' families are under the strict surveillance of Ninghai Town Water Camp. The water camp in Ninghai Town borrowed river defense and coastal defense, and warships poured into the Yangtze River waterway in front of Chongzhou County.

The young Chen Enze had a home and couldn't go back, standing on the bow of the boat weeping. Zhou Pu secretly sighed, for the teenager who was still in the family's knees ten months ago, the experience of ten months ago was very difficult, and now he can't go back to his family, and he can't recognize his relatives, and he doesn't know how long it will last.

Looking at the turbid river water and the shadow of the sails of the warship at the end of the sky, Lin Fu sighed with emotion: If a dynasty has such a level of internal and external troubles, it can be considered to be depressed! But in any case, this Yuan dynasty has lasted for more than two hundred years, and the system of the empire has not collapsed. The inherent inertia will push the huge empire to move forward. Lin Fu doesn't know when the empire will suddenly collapse. .

Lin Bie thought that he would use his corpse to revive himself and live in this era, and he couldn't see the direction of the future for a while. If he wanted to continue to mix, if he wanted to mix well, it would be too much to make a decision now, and he really had to do it. How to prepare.

"Let's go back to Dongyang first!" Lin Fu said, "I haven't gone back these days, so it's inevitable that I'm a little unfamiliar."

"If you are unfamiliar with Dongyang, what should we do?" Zhou Pu said with a smile, he just thought Lin Fu was joking. He couldn't imagine that Lin Fu, ten months ago, was just a nerd who stayed at home, and he couldn't imagine the resurrection of his soul. My QT room is open!
