He had no idea of ​​the depression in Li Chao's heart, and when Park A was drinking, Mao Jue was already in Tieyi.

After not seeing each other for half a year, this Tieyi Town seemed to have changed again. The farmland on the side of the road was more neatly planned. Some scattered villages were demolished and rebuilt near the road, making traffic more developed and faster. The biggest change was the Tieshan Chenggang District, which was actually expanded to connect with the Tieshan City Wall.

This is Mao Jue's contribution to last year. Although he was called the East China Sea pirates, many of these guys worked as maritime merchants. While being beaten up by Mao Jue, these guys suddenly realized that a new port was actually built in the north. If there is a port, you can do business and make a fortune.

During this Japanese crusade, Mao Jue was still fighting hard under Edo City. Their sloppy people took the wealth of Kyushu Island and first snatched away the soles of the soles of the people. Some of them simply didn't return to their nests and went straight to spend time here to spend time and enjoy the money. Those who have long-term vision still opened shops and started business here. No wonder the already prosperous port area has become so congested.

The only disadvantage is that public security has become much worse. After all, pirates are anxious and often get rid of their swords when they drink too much. After more than half a month of trouble, they forced the government official Fan Wenju to have no choice but to draw an area in Dongbang, claiming to be a place beyond the law, so that these pirates can break up on their own.

Before leaving, Dongjiang Academy also saw a lot of results. When the army entered the city, many literati-like men in scholar-robed gowns were seen on both sides of the street. It seemed that Dongjiang's cultural heritage was also beginning to rise, but here was somewhat similar to Japan. In Dongjiang, the mainstay of society was the Wu family, and the iron-right warriors who had scars passed by. Even these literati scholars had to applaud.

As usual, just as we arrived at the garrison, Mao Jue's first thing was to become a boy with money. This time, the Tieyi Army fought several tough battles and reduced the number of personnel to more than a thousand. Although the military subordinates who returned home with clean military cards brought a lot of sadness, the Dongjiang style of doing things that would reward merits and be kind to others still increased morale a lot. Seeing his colleagues coming out with money, the other regiments who followed Jiang to fight were all red like rabbits, and they wanted to start the next war tomorrow.

In fact, a society that is too martial is not a good one. In history, Song was destroyed by the weak, but Han was destroyed by the strong. It was just that Mao Jue's territory was sandwiched between the Jurchens and the Li family, the four-war land of Korea, did not have the strong folk customs, and could not defend the prosperity that was finally built, so now we can only make the entire Dongjiang iron-blooded warlike as much as possible.

But let alone, not only are the martial artists and literati here strong, but they are also strong enough.

"What, it's opened?"

After completing the triumphal reward ceremony, Mao Jue returned to the Baima City Yamen and was shocked by Fan Wenjie who came to him.

Tieshan and Yizhou were originally in North Ping'an. In this way, Mao Jue still took more than a year to barely eat up the northern part of North Ping'an. What a good guy, he, Fan Wenju, eroded most of Hamkyung Road in one breath during his five months of his expedition. Now Mao Jue's territory in Dongjiang Town is like an earthworm, completely separating the northeast from the Lee North Korea. The northernmost end has arrived at the Sea of ​​Japan. If it is later generations, it is the place where China, Russia and North Korea meet.

He was so excited that he reached out to Mao Jue and took down the map hanging on the wall. After looking at it for a long time, he then put his finger on an island outside the sea.

"Where is this place? Has our army occupied it?"

"Go back to General, this is Lutun Island. It is north of Li Chao. There are no warships in our town, so the area controlled by Huzhi is only in the area of ​​the mountain and Guangxing!"

"Looking back, I will ask someone to row three second-level sailing battleships and ten third-level sea patrol sailing ships for you. You must occupy this area, find land to build ports, and open ports to build ships. These must be fast!"

Mao Jue's words were full of excitement. What was the biggest problem in Dongjiang? There was insufficient development space and no strategic depth. Even if you eat half of Hamkyung in one go, the agriculture of this era would be able to support 300,000 to 400,000 people. Even if you beat 8, Mao Jue could have 50,000 troops at most, and he had to give the people a tight neck. It was a huge burden to support seven people.

More importantly, even if the 50,000 people were all elite, they would not have much effect in the collision of hundreds of thousands or millions in the seventy years of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. Even if the firearms improved their combat effectiveness, they would still fight people in the war before they had nuclear weapons, jets, rockets, missiles and other killing weapons, and no one could do. Even if the Qing army entered the pass, it was not only 60,000 to 70,000 Eight Banners Army.

Going west, the Later Jin conquered 400,000 Mongols. In the areas where the Han area in Liaodong and Han were occupied, hundreds of thousands of people fell into their hands. Liu Xingzuo was the Han people who fled back from the Later Jin territory. He had several more entry into the pass. It is said that the population from the pass to the outside of the pass was millions. In addition to the ethnic minorities in other parts of the Northeast, Mao Jue looked very strong first, but he was facing the Later Jin, which had a population of two to three million.

But if you raise people, you need land. The Li family is still famously mountainous. This seems to be a dead knot, so Mao Jue's ultimate hope is to place it in this small Lutun Island area.

Where is the north from here? Heilongjiang, the Great Northern Wilderness! One of the three world-famous black soil belts, think about how many people Heilongjiang supported in later generations.

Moreover, it was also incorrectly opened here with the ruling center of the Later Jin Dynasty. The core area of ​​the Later Jin Dynasty was mainly in the southern part of Jilin and Liaoning in later generations. This place was developed by the Han people more completely. During the process of going south, a large number of Jurchen tribes abandoned their hometowns and followed them south. This place was much simpler than directly competing with Huang Taiji for Liaodong.

You take over my fat field, and I will pick up the thin field you don’t want? But of course, if I grow the thin field into a fat field, I will sooner or later take back what you robbed.

Looking at the map, Mao Jue seemed to see himself erecting all the Harbin, Qiqihar and others in later generations. There were thousands of troops standing on the fertile land. Then he carried a big flag with a hair-like character and laughed in front.

But just as his family's drooling was almost flowing out, Fan Wenju poured a basin of cold water.

"Mr. Jiang, no one!"

"First, we control Hamkyung Road, we only set up checkpoints at dangerous places. Moreover, with our invasion, local officials of the Lee North Korean family retreated in large numbers with the people. More importantly, there are not only Lee Dynasties, but also many Jurchens!"

"Jiang Ye, before solving these Jurchen tribes, even if there are people, we will not be able to launch large-scale settlement..."

To be honest, Fan Wenju was quite helpless. Before taking over, he really didn't expect that there were so many Jurchen tribes in the territory of the Li family's North Korea, and the number was probably less than 30,000 to 40,000.

In fact, it is no wonder that the Hamkyung Dok of Lee's North Korea had said before that Lee Sung-kyu, the Taizu of Lee Sung-kyu, launched a war of conquest against the Jianzhou Wei Jurchen under the Ming Dynasty, and successively swept the Yalu River. After the Jurchen strongholds along the Tumen River were established. During the Yongle period, there were also Jurchens who were unwilling to surrender to write letters, calling this place the former land of the Liao and Jin dynasties and begging the court to take it back. Ming Cheng-zu also sent people to North Korea to ask for the ten people in this place, mainly the Jurchens.

Over the past two hundred years, the development efforts of the Li family in North Korea were very limited. There were not as many Koreans here as the Jurchens, so naturally they could not do anything to them. These Jurchens scattered among the mountains and wild villages have now become hot potatoes in Mao Jue's hands.

No wonder Wang Huaan was not satisfied with Fan Wenju. As soon as Mao Jue imagined the future, Mr. Fan hit his head with a lot of problems, shortage of people, shortage of food, shortage of money, and unsubmitted Jurchen robbers. Seeing more than ten minutes, he had to take a red pen and painted about thirty red dots on the map, Mao Jue immediately scored three points in his head.

The rice really needs to be eaten in one bite!

The plan to build a ship and settle the north was only to stand aside, and summoned Su Changmei, Kong Youde, Wen Meng and others. Mao Jue first studied with them down-to-earth how to deal with the Hamkyung Jurchens. One afternoon when he had just returned to Tieyi, he hurriedly flew over in government affairs. It was not until after five o'clock in the evening. After a preliminary plan, Mao Jue announced the end of the meeting.

But just as he was dragging his tired body out of the courtyard and trying to stretch his body, Adrena came over with a burst of rapid footsteps, with a strange look on her face.

"Master General, it's getting late. The lady has prepared a welcoming banquet in the mansion. Please go back to the mansion for dinner."

"What happened?"

I know this girl so well. Judging from her expression, it would be strange if there is nothing wrong. Mao Jue couldn't help asking in surprise.

Who knew that Adrena's little head was drooping and she didn't say anything. Even if she stayed there, she knew this girl too well. She probably didn't want to ask anything about her appearance. Her head was confused, so Mao Jue simply reached out his hand.

"Hairy spear, prepare a horse, go home!"

Not to mention, after not coming back for four or five months, Mao Jue almost couldn't recognize his home gate. He was used to the modern life. Deputy General Tieyi's mansion was also a two-story building built with bricks and cement. There was a small garden yard in front and a garage in the back. This little life in the family was already very satisfying. But after returning, the small building was thrown at the end. The official office in front of the government office was blocked and a street was blocked. His deputy general's mansion was built into a typical yard for the literati and officials of the Ming Dynasty. The Mao Mansion with a black background and a golden sign exuded great majesty.

The only problem is that it is not to Mao Jue's appetite.

"The old man changed it?"

Looking at his front door, Mao Jue was stunned for a long time, but once again, Adrena couldn't help but shake her head.

As he spoke, more than a dozen servants came out and bowed respectfully at the door of the mansion.

"Welcome to the master to come home!"

Mao Jue didn't know any of these people.

"Meet the master!"

After a confused manner, he followed into the second hall. As Adrena said, he had already prepared a banquet. With the bright lights, Yu Le'er, who returned home first, welcomed him with her skirt with great enthusiasm. However, in front of her, she showed off her red dress and dignifiedly saluted her skirt.

"I cook myself and prepare the wine and fruits, and congratulate the master on his victory!"

Not to mention, the banquet at this table is really magnificent. The dining instruments are either gold or silver. Moreover, the exquisiteness of Jiangnan side dishes and the heroic spirit of the Jiangnan family are also vividly set off by the dishes on this table. With a warm smile, Chen Jiao looked at Mao Jue with the corner of her skirt as if she was showing a treasure.

However, Mao Jue's attention was not at all at the banquet. He looked around in surprise twice, and he suddenly asked in surprise.
Chapter completed!
