Chapter twenty-one.
"What's wrong with adults?"
The hundred-husband surnamed Chen also showed a gloomy face, and then clasped his fists and asked, but when he looked at the uneven officers, Mao Jue slapped the table in annoyance.
"Six hundred households patrol the sea, what about four left? Are there anyone else coming? Don't you take this general seriously?"
After yelling, the Baihu and the general flags in the room all showed a look of surprise. After a while, the oldest man leaning against the wall actually laughed out loud. Chen, Li and Zhang's three Baihu also twitched a few times. After a while, the Lihu in front of him was just tense and looked serious, and he clasped his fists and saluted.
"My lord misunderstood. There are only six hundred households in our thirteen thousand households. In addition, the courtyard has about 620 soldiers under its jurisdiction. All of our thousand households have arrived!"
Really, in the first twenty years of life, I encountered short pounds. I used to be full of biscuits, but now I only have a transparent window left in my heart. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jue shrank again. I thought he had more than a thousand people under his command, but he was at the level of a major commander, but suddenly he shrank to the battalion commander and lost his person. Mao Jue sat down with some disappointment, and then waved his face impatiently.
"It's better to follow the past practice!"
As soon as this said, Li Baihu, Chen Baihu and Zhang Baihu with a big slut on his face showed a sense of pride. The Pang Dahai behind him looked a little similar to him, but Pang Baihu, who had become much older, could clearly see a sense of disappointment. As for the old head Zhao and the other Baihu, they looked completely indifferent and lazily hugged their fists.
"Subordinate to obey the order!"
However, before these guys could get back to their lazy temperament, they went back to their own houses to find their mothers. When they knocked on the table, Mao Jue suddenly added another one.
Today, Shen Baihu inspects Tieshan east, right?"
"Oh? Go back to Lord Qianhu, that's exactly what it is!"
It seemed that there was nothing more than a thousand households on his head. His face turned red. Shen Baihu lowered his head and clasped his fists. However, Mao Jue's next words made the muscles on the corners of his mouth twitch.
"That's right. I'm new to the military camp and I'm not very familiar with all things. Now I'll follow Chen Baihu and go to the sea to see it for a long time!"
"That adult, the wind and waves on the sea are high and the waves are high, you still..."
"What? Chen Baihu doesn't want to?"
Mao Jue's voice suddenly rose a few degrees and stuttered. The guy clasped his fists and bowed his head again: "I don't dare. Since that's the case, let's follow the adults!"
…………
The biggest reliance of Dongjiang Town is the sea. The food and food shipped from North Korea and Shandong every year supported this rare naval base in the Ming Dynasty. Dongjiang Town’s defense for the sea is very strict. There are five sea patrol houses like Mao Jue and others, more than 3,000 people and more than 50 warships of all sizes, divided the surrounding areas of Pi Island to Jinzhou Lushun.
Mao Jue's 13,000th House is very special because his defense area is closest to Pi Island. Mao Youde really takes care of him, and he is the easiest person to be considered the most vague person.
The ship Shen Baihu is much stronger than the broken sentry ship of the huge sea. It is about 1,500 materials, three masts, and more than 40 meters. There are also two sentry ships next to it, with a total of 86 Ming soldiers and sailors. It will take several days to go out to patrol the sea. On the dock, there are also a large number of soldiers carrying large buckets of tamsui and military rations to the ship.
During the internship period of more than half a year, there were all landscape ships built in a hundred meters long. This actually didn't shock Mao Jue. It was just that the first time he saw a warship that was really fighting on the sea, he felt that everything was fresh. He couldn't help but touch and look there, and the whole country bumpkin entered the city.
However, Shen Baihu had no intention of laughing at him. Several soldiers were piled up at the other end of the dock, surrounding the large pile of boxes covered with tarpaulins and were at a loss. While Mao Jue was standing at the bow of the boat, a personal soldier was holding his fist beside Shen Baihu with a headache.
"Master, the other end is very urgent to urge goods. We really don't bring this batch?"
"Bring a sesame!"
He looked back at Mao Jue who was still looking at the sea and muttered something. The Shen Baihu was so angry that his teeth were itchy and he lowered his voice in depression.
"This master probably came for me, otherwise he would not go anywhere in Zhang Ben and Li Jing. He would have to take my boat as soon as he got up?"
The voice was lowered, and Chen Baihu's eyes became even more gloomy. He glanced at Mao Jue again, and then hummed angrily.
"Our Qianhu is very famous, otherwise General Mao Shen would not be so flattering and invited him to drink. But I heard that he and General Shen Shikuichen were not in the way."
"Master, we, we have nothing to do with General Shen!"
No wonder the personal soldiers were wronged. If they really had such a little kinship with Shen Shikui, they would not have just gotten into a small family and personal soldiers. The Shen family had a minimum of more than 20, and the lowest was the Qianlong General.
"Okay, what's going on?" He grinned in a tactful way, and Chen Baihu immediately tilted his head at his personal soldiers.
"Hide things, tell the brothers below to keep their mouths tighter, and don't make this Lord lively! Let's talk about what you see first!"
"Don't worry, brothers know everything!"
While answering, the personal soldiers looked at each other eagerly, and close to the dock, Li Baihu's ship was still loading the goods, and the closed and tight boxes were carried onto the ship. The No. 2 lucky ship that was pressed seemed to have sunk a little to the water.
"sail!!!"
With a rather weird shouting, amid this jealous voice, three Chinese hard sails supported by struts were hung high among the shouting of several strong men. With the sea breeze blowing in the morning, three patrol ships roared towards the sea.
In fact, this section of the sea is not too far. Pi Island is located outside the estuary of the Yalu River. In almost an hour, the patrol ship arrived near Tieshan City, another important stronghold on the Korean Peninsula. The ship first docked the offshore, and a small boat was sent down. Shen Baihu also came to ask Mao Jue for instructions.
"Master Qian, we are stopping the boat and reporting to the Tieshan Guard General Meng Shou, and we will leave in about half an hour!"
"What do those people do?"
With glass, it became much easier to get a telescope. With the homemade telescope in the glass workshop, Mao Jue looked at the shore. The boat that had just landed, and just as a few soldiers got ashore, they were surrounded by twenty or thirty people wearing big fur coats, pulling big trucks and carrying boxes. However, it seemed that the talk was not right. A group of people almost didn't start, but in the end, a few soldiers rushed over with their knives.
"people?"
He was obviously guilty and looked around for a few seconds. Only then did the Shen Baihu barely smile and shook his head with a dry smile.
"It's just a group of unruly people. When I saw my Ming warship, I came up to beg for entanglement. Master Qian ignored it!"
Begging and entanglement? Mao Jue is not stupid. How could he come to beg and entanglement with something? But there is a saying that he is rare to be confused. Now he has just come into contact with the Thirteen Thousand Households and is very unfamiliar with it. He is a lonely man who has been airborne. Since Chen Shou intends to cover it up, he stopped asking questions and nodded vaguely.
"Oh, I know."
The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Seeing Mao Jue staggering back to his recliner on the stern armor, Chen Baihu always seemed to feel that there was something in his words.
After staying in Tieshan for a while, the patrolling fleet advanced eastward again and passed Yuncong Island, the largest island next to Pidao Jun Town.
It is not small here, about fifty square kilometers, about twice the size of Pi Island. Because it is located at the back of Pi Island, it is relatively safe. Many fugitives in Liaodong and military families from Dongjiang Town are placed on it, and there are also tens of thousands of people. However, compared with the military port of Pi Island, it is mainly composed of six or seven Tuweizi village strongholds. On the island, telescopes look over, and the neatly planned farmland is covered with plants like grass-like plants with big dog tails.
He was not diligent in his four bodies and did not distinguish between grains. Mao Jue lost someone again. After asking someone for help, he found out that this thing was millet, which is millet.
Later, Northeast rice was famous nationwide. In the past, the farming area was really small, and even to the point of being cut off, the main food was millet, sticky yellow rice, wheat, etc. The yield per mu was only 200 to 300 kilograms. Two-fifths of the arable land in the island, and the grain produced was only enough for the three-month food in Dongjiang Town. This did not include transportation consumption and rot. The remaining part needed to be collected from North Korea and transported from Shandong.
The patrol boat did not stop at Yuncong Island, but only bypassed by, but while passing by this area, Mao Jue kept staring at this place for endlessly.
It is said that they are not in their position and do not do their own politics. If they were in the past, no matter how rare the food was, they would probably forget it if they were satisfied with the freshness. But now, Mao Jue is really worried that he cannot be self-sufficient in food. Once a war breaks out of the supply of rice in the Later Jin Dynasty, if there is no need to fight, there will be famine in Dongjiang Town.
"Now I can only hope that Qian Zeng, the young master of kidney deficiency, can really get the corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes back!"
As the sunset sets, the clouds gradually disappeared from sight, but Mao Jue couldn't help but remember them in his heart again.
The day after the outing was calm, but it was only then that night that Mao Jue realized the capriciousness of the sea. At about seven o'clock in the evening, the waves suddenly rose higher. With the wind, the waves waves came one after another, as if three boats had fallen into the toys in the bathtub and were thrown up and down.
Fortunately, this is also a Chinese hard sail. If the rope is untied, the sail will fall. If it is like the soft sails of those Western sailboats, it is rolled and collected, and it will take a certain amount of time to toss around, but if it is like this, Mao Jue is also tossed and wore it in the room on the upper deck, and it will stagger like the drunken house he experienced at the beer museum, so that he almost vomited out his bitter gall.
This is not just a storm, it is just a big storm.
The storm continued until the second half of the night, and Mao Jue could barely fall asleep. He was in a daze for half a night. It was not until ninety o'clock the next morning that he got up with difficulty. However, just as he yawned on the deck, Mao Jue's eyes suddenly became straight again.
