The war that had been calmed for more than ten years was once again ignited. The smell of gunpowder on the other side was becoming more and more intense.

"Walk in one step, one, two, one! one, two, one! Stand and turn left and right!"

With a loud slogan, two personal soldiers strode to the edge of the port, and then looked left and right, and suddenly compared the flintlock rifle to his shoulders, neatly like a person, with the brand new soap armor on his body trembling violently. Seeing that the guests on the ship were all thrust in their hearts.

"Is this Dongjiang?"

Although he became Mao Jue's father-in-law, this is the first time that the governor of Denglai in Dongjiang. Not only was the shock of the personal soldiers on the dock, but he couldn't take his eyes off. There were also the buildings in Tieshan Port, with busy ships filled with trests deep into the sea, and people could also see people carrying fishing boxes to walk towards the shore.

Looking further, due to insufficient space, many bungalows were demolished and built into two-story buildings, and even three-story buildings. Anyway, there are many mineral deposits in Dongjiang. If a cave is opened, they are all coal mines and iron ore. Once the foundation is broken, a steel bar is a piece of hard blue bricks are built inside, and even a typhoon cannot fall off even if it comes.

The residents who depend on this port have exceeded 60,000. Although the population is still far inferior to those of super metropolis such as Yingtian, Suzhou and Changshu, this prosperity is definitely better than that. Many businessmen who came to do business in the south were shocked at first sight. It seemed that this place has changed a lot this year, and there is no shortage of one.

The rules of the Ming Dynasty were that civil officials were in charge of the army and military generals worked their lives. Even if it was a "distant job", the court did not let Mao Jue go. The commander-in-chief was his father-in-law, and the governor of Denglaidao Yu Dacheng was a difficult task for the court to do something good. Yu Dacheng did not come empty-handed. He also brought more than 6,000 Shandong soldiers, 80,000 taels of silver military pay, 120,000 shi of military rations, and a large number of entourages from this and that official.

Looking at the prosperous Dongjiang River, the leaders who followed him and didn't know how useless it was, but the hospitality fee was a lot, also grew up in surprise, including the eunuchs who made Mao Jue feel particularly headache!

Cao Xi, one of Cao Huachun's adopted sons, was also dizzy when he saw it.

The child who could cry was also fucked without milk. Dongjiang was really like a stepmother. Every year, Mao Jue reported to the court but the salary was short of food. He shouted that he would not pay the salary and immediately mutiny. Although he had no connection with the distribution plan of the Ministry of War every year, it was considered Amitabha Buddha to be able to pay the twelve months of salary and silver for two months, but the name of poverty in Dongjiang was still spread in the capital.

To be honest, Cao Xi was unlucky when he came to Dongjiang by drawing lots. No one wanted to come, but he never thought that it would be like this in front of him. No matter how you look, this firearm and armor have nothing to do with poverty, right?

With a clattering sound, the wooden ladder was lowered from the side of the boat, following Yu Dacheng behind him. While walking, Cao Xi was still thinking about how much money he could make, but just as he got off the boat, he was facing him with a stern face.

Almost expressionless, Mao Jue went up and bowed to Yu Dacheng.

"The last general will pay homage to the governor!"

"Bold! You, a small deputy general, dared not kneel down when he saw the governor of a town. Did he rebel?"

Before Yu Dacheng could speak, this guy started to scream with a grin.

Dongjiang's movement has become a weather vane for party struggles in the Korean country. In the past two months, the big bosses of various camps wrote to Mao Jue. Mao Wenlong's handwritten letter was gone, but Dongjiang did not reply a single letter. If he resisted the order or did perfunctory, the Wen Tiren party who made the decision, and Cao Huachun who was involved in it would not be able to come to Taiwan. Some of the clear streamers had a stinky mouth. I knew what to do if I had done it? Then what to do!

Under Cao Huachun's secret order, he wanted to suppress Mao Jue when he came. Taking this opportunity, this eggless guy came up and wanted to give him a warning.

Unfortunately, he hit the iron plate.

He glanced at him expressionlessly, and Mao Jue suddenly raised his hand. In an instant, two rows of personal soldiers directly lifted the flintlock rifle, followed by a burst of gunfire sound, and even bullets were brushing directly over the crowd's heads. This head was still clamoring, and suddenly shivered in fear. The dead eunuch sat on the ground.

Not only him, Governor Yu Dacheng, Jiang Li, assistant secretary Xu Congwen, several civil servants sat on the ground together. What a guy, the group of people turned out to be all soft-legged shrimps.

He almost laughed a little, but on his face, Mao Jue reached out and pulled Yu Dacheng's hand and pulled him up, or spoke with a stern face.

"This is the highest-level welcome ceremony in Dongjiang. The etiquette of the barbarians makes the adults laugh. The inn has prepared a house in the city. Please follow the me in the future."

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Cao Xi at all, so he led the way in front of him. The eunuch was so angry that he gritted his teeth behind him and even wanted to return to the boat. However, after he hesitating there for a long time, he was still shameless and followed the team's tail and rubbed up.

Four-wheeled carriages were already prepared outside the port, and even Yu Le'er, the girl, was excited to wait outside. When she saw Yu Dacheng, she didn't care how the father sold her to Dongjiang. She excitedly supported him and pulled him up. Although she was so frustrated when she came, the civil servants knew that Mao Jue was not showing off her power to them, and no one was watching her eyes pushing up. Anyway, there were many carriages here, and there were more than a dozen, so she didn't have to worry about walking.

At the end of the crowd, Cao Xi naturally squeezed the carriage at the end, and followed the Jinyiwei, Lishi, and the eunuch sent to him by the court. The public carriage with four rows of chairs and two tables was not crowded, but the eunuch was the most narrow-minded. After getting on the car, Cao Xi was still gritting his teeth.

"This vulgar warrior, a lowly lackey, dares to humiliate the man. Let's see how the man will deal with him later!"

"Master..., father-in-law..."

He was furious there, but his little eunuch couldn't help but slam his tongue, and he trembled and pointed his hand out. He was already angry, and Cao Xi shouted in anger.

"What's the matter!"

"No, father-in-law, you, look!"

"What a fuss? Suhang and Hang have never done anything wrong. This broken place, poor border town, can there be..., can there be..."

Looking out the window, his eyes also straightened.

Imitating later generations, Mao Jue built a prototype landscape flower bed in the center of the street in the port area. However, the flower beds were not planted, all of them were white and covered with white heads, layered, and I don’t know how high it fell. Judging from the number, there were not tens of thousands, and there were thousands.

Dongjiang's reward is very high, with thirty taels of silver per head, but these heads are in Mao Jue's hands, but they cannot continue to report their merits to the court. On the one hand, the wood is so beautiful that the forest wind will definitely destroy it. If you are strong, you can think of you in any dirty and tiring work. On the other hand, it is useless to repay merits. Mao Jue's salary has not been fully received for several years. Giving a general is just a big seal, is useless to give him a general.

Even if you spend money, even if you have a head, according to Mao Jue Grandet's character, you have to pick out two kilograms of oil for him. So Mao Jue ordered people to cook these heads, rot away the flesh, and leave skeletons, piled up here to build the ancient Jingguan, symbolizing the Wuwei of the Dongjiang River.

Although there are just a bunch of heads, this is also the pride of the people of Dongjiang. It is the evidence that they have overcome all obstacles in the troubled times and established this rare paradise. Whenever outsiders look at these heads, there are always locals proudly giving their thumbs back.

"Isn't it just a little bit? We Dongjiang people have cut down too many things. What's the point of making a fuss?"

Of course, no one in the carriage explained Cao Xi, so he could only look at the skeleton Shan Jingguan in a daze. After a long time, his mouth was trembling and muttering.

"Okay, okay, what a cruel and vulgar martial artist, really, really, it's like killing people. How many people do you have to kill?"

The majesty of the general really comes from his military achievements. No matter who these heads are, when he arrived at the Tieshan Inn in the city, from Yu Dacheng to the eunuch Cao Xi, he was a little polite to Mao Jue when he got off the bus. Eunuch Cao didn't mention anything about kneeling down or not.

This is also a routine of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the urgent military affairs, such as Kaifeng surrounded and Songjin battle, the officials who came down had to eat and have fun first and sleep comfortably before they could start working formally. After all, they were their father-in-law. Mao Jue prepared a lot of preparations for this welcome banquet, including ginseng stewed pheasant, roasted venison, sea fish with Dongjiang specialties, and a large table of dishes. The guests and guests in the pass were all happy, but the two leaders did not have much appetite.

It was really abnormal. After dinner, he even had a few days trip to Baima Mountain Hot Spring arranged by Mao Jue to experience the Japanese girl style. He didn't go there, but directly blocked Mao Jue in his study.

Yu Dacheng obviously had a lot of things to ask. The old guy was afraid of fighting, and Mao Jue had a full sense of experience. Shandong was so ugly that it was a fight against the White Lotus Sect. However, as an old official, he was not brainless. Looking at the eunuch Cao Xi who forced him over, Yu Dacheng forced his words back first.

Whether the land can be scraped in Dongjiang this time is actually secondary. The first thing to do is to urge Mao Jue to send troops. No matter how many people die, he will earn the face of the court, so that the emperor, the chief minister and the grandson of Cao can earn merits with decent amounts. The most important thing is to suppress the flies-like clear streams in the court. If he cannot complete the task, he will not think about returning to the capital. With the imperial eunuch, the dead eunuch asked impatiently.

"The Ministry of War has an order to order Dongjiang to send troops to Japan on the fifth day of the October 10th to escort the young master of the Toyotomi family back to the country. Deputy General Mao, my army supervisor ordered you to prepare the military and horses and boat troops immediately. Zajiaming will be inspected!"

"Can!"
