Chapter 434. Smokescreen
To be honest, I usually feel that Mao Jue seems to be very relaxed. He sits at the desk of the office and shakes his legs and poses with airs. He gets over the whole day, but as his secretary, he is busy and has done his work! But now, Adrena has experienced what it feels like to sit in the boss position of Tony Stark in "Iron Man". Although power is wonderful, it is more important than Mount Tai. Every decision may be related to the lives of thousands of people. When he really makes the decision, he will toss and turn.
These days, Adrena made a series of decisions with gritted her teeth, but now she could not bite her teeth on the large desk with a thick stack of military newspapers.
Heilongjiang Town, Tamuhe Fort, Sahalian Fort, Tenburg, and a series of Dongjiang Forts were all attacked. According to reports, there were at least 6,000 Mongolian cavalry, but there was still a vast border between Dongjiang and the Later Jin Dynasty, which was half of Jilin's unmanned territory. It is still unknown how many Later Jin troops would be there.
It doesn't matter. Before sending troops, Mao Jue left a strategy. The Later Jin attacked and attacked him from both sides, exploding his chrysanthemums all the way. However, the Dongjiang side was not peaceful. The prosperous Yalu River city stopped. The Mongolian merchants trained in business with Dongjiang over the years kept coming from warnings. Shengjing, Liaoyang, Kaitiangguangning, and the core areas of the Qing Dynasty all gathered eastward, and the atmosphere of a war seemed to be about to break out.
There must be a battle between the Qing Kingdom of Dongjiang. After all, there is no place for two tigers in one mountain. Mao Jue’s backbone is not here, which is also an excellent opportunity, but where is the main battlefield?
There are dark clouds on each side that are about to destroy the city! There seems to be a breaking point on either side. If the main battlefield cannot be settled, it may even cause a devastating blow to the attacking Dongjiang Army.
After all, Adrena is a woman. If she was asked to analyze the staff, she would be very polite, but it would be a bit difficult for her to grit her teeth and decide on this major event that would determine the fate of Dongjiang. The information from several days has been summarized together, and after reading it for a whole afternoon, Adrena shook her head hesitantly.
"Transfer the order, Heilongjiang Dongjiang Corps gathered in Mudanjiang Town, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Qing army, and focus on defense! Don't make a large-scale attack, the Iron-Royal Corps also gathered in Yizhou to guard against the Yalu River, and wait for the next order!"
"In addition, Asuka sent a letter to Japan and reported to the General!"
After sending out several orders, Adrena lazily lay on the table again, looking at the messy letters on the table with her eyes straight, muttering in her mouth.
"Master, Master! I miss you!"
…………
It is said that there is a clear understanding of each other, and Mao Jue suddenly sneezes.
One of the crimes of King Zhou of Shang was the luxury of the wine pool and meat forest. The wine pool did not have it, and Mao Jue was almost done. More than a dozen barbecue racks were grilled with ice to bring the freshest Dongjiang steak, lamb steak, and high-quality Shaoxing rice wine. In addition, fresh fish and various fruits were all available.
Moreover, in the hot hot spring pool, there were only three-point bikini. The beautiful ladies were holding wine glasses. The soft voices and white jade bodies were seducing the pupils and nerves of men. Some rich people in the country had never seen such a luxurious scene. The big names in the Eastern Kingdom almost glared out.
Now all major events are done. The shogun General Yin was completely taken back. The Tokugawa family and the Toyotomi family also set up a monument outside the city to swear an oath, announcing that all the grievances before had disappeared. After that, the Tokugawa family was always in charge of the East Kingdom and was loyal to Toyotomi Guanbai, who assisted the Emperor, was nominally unified in Japan. In fact, two independent regimes that paid tribute to Dongjiang were played side by side. This pattern was played by Mao Jue. As long as Dongjiang himself did not finish it, the political pattern within hundreds of years would be firmly established.
At this hot spring banquet in the evening, Mao Jue showed the benefits of relying on himself to the Daming of the East and brought them warmth.
"Is it okay to pursue the great practice?"
Lying on the soft recliner, listening to the concerning sounds beside him, Mao Jue rubbed his nose and waved his hand carelessly.
"It's okay! Maybe I'm drunk a little too cold! By the way, I heard that the grilled fish that the Lord Guan Ling ate was cold, but that's it?"
"That's not the case! Only now is the official sings the freshness of fish!"
This sentence made Tokugawa Iemitsu almost shed tears.
I have to admire the grandmad Tokugawa Ieyasu. The old guy not only relied on his life to kill most of the Warring States heroes, but also had great knowledge and far-reaching thoughts. Emperor Chongzhen reduced food and withdrawal of joy, but there were still hundreds of dishes in a meal. But he became a worldly person. What should Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was the general of the shogunate, eat? Soaked rice and pickled radishes.
It is said that there is another allusion. Once again, I heard the maids of the general's shogunate complaining that the restaurant was only rice and pickled radish, which was too monotonous. After Tokugawa Ieyasu heard it, he just snorted coldly. As a result, the maids of the shogunate could not even eat pickled radish.
In order to prevent the general from experiencing delicious food and delaying political affairs, the general's rice must be boiled several times in water. It will be steamed into rice after the taste is gone. The general's grilled fish must also be tasted by the poison first. If the poison is not allowed to cool, then it can be presented. The barbecue is so hot that the oil is cold. What else can it taste?
Seeing that the newly-received little brother was in tears, Mao Jue quickly patted his shoulder carelessly.
"If you have nothing to do, just go to Kyoto. Although there is not as lively as Edo, there is always a bit of local customs and peoples. Does the general think it is easy to see?"
On that side, a noble lady decorated her black bikini with temperament and drew her charming eyes with a charming look. When she saw Tokugawa Iemitsu almost drooled, her will was as firm as he was, and she couldn't help but lit her head repeatedly.
"What the great practice says is extremely true! In the future, officials will come to the court every year and pay tribute every year!"
“So great!”
A large group of famous names in the Eastern Kingdom were in vain, and some even rushed to take the noble socialites specially trained by these hot spring clubs to the quiet courtyard elsewhere to do something miserable. Mao Jue couldn't help but smile.
He himself is not a frugal person, and he never gets tired of eating and cooking. In the Dongjiang Governor's Mansion, his mink coat was filled with several boxes. Over the years, he has brought luxury from the Ming Dynasty to Japan.
But there is nothing wrong with extravagance itself! It is a sin to put it on the emperor, and there is no other reason. The difference between giving money and not giving money! Mao Jue bought clothes, ate delicious food, and soaked a girl. He spent the money he earned from opening a store himself. Not only did he increase the living burden of the people under Dongjiang, but he also created employment opportunities. However, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to build a palace, so the Internal Affairs Office returned to force labor from the people, using tax money to purchase Taihu stones from thousands of miles away, and transporting huge trees. It was all light to waste people and damage money.
Another typical example is Yangzhou salt merchants. The luxury of salt merchants is well known to the world. However, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, they were boycotted by the residents of the entire Yangzhou city. It was nothing else. The salt merchants created employment opportunities in the entire city!
However, it is estimated that the famous names in the East and West countries who are accustomed to exploiting and seizing the people will not be able to learn this economic model. The more extravagant Mao Jue attracts them, the heavier the burden on the Japanese people, the less funds they spend on military supplies, and the lower the combat power that can challenge Dongjiang's hegemony. Moreover, the more unpopular these guys are, the more they need foreign forces to support them in suppressing their own people. The more they rely on Dongjiang, the next step is to count ten steps. Now Mao Jue has prepared all these for the future.
But just when Mao Jue was slightly proud, a soldier ran in at the door hurriedly and rudely knocked away a few socialites and wine servants. Without even having to salute, he lay in Mao Jue's ear and whispered anxiously.
His expression suddenly became solemn, but then he became relaxed again. Mao Jue held the wine glass and greeted Tokugawa Iemitsu.
"Sir Guan Ling, I'll lose my companion for a moment!"
"But what happened?"
"Nothing else, it's just a trouble for some kids!"
Just as Mao Jue said, he didn't even leave the yard and went to the other end of the hot spring pool.
There was also a beautiful beauty there. She seemed to have just finished her soaking, wearing a tulle and weak lying on the recliner on her side. In terms of her appearance and temperament, this beauty is undoubtedly much better than those sociable people. But if she, a little luoli, was hiding aside and eating milk candy, no one dared to come up to chat with her, let alone be rude.
The little princess of the Toyotomi family adheres to the pearl of the student Yuan. There have been rumors that she would marry Dongjiang Mao to complete the political bridge. The weakest identity here is also the sister of Toyotomi Kuromatsumaru, who dares to come and seek death?
Bored, yawning, watching Mao Jue swaying slowly, she spread her white little hands forward.
"what?"
"Sugar! The candy is gone! Don't forget that you promised to give me two cans of milk candies before I came to this boring banquet!"
Pouting, Chiyohime hummed for granted. If it weren't for the fact that she had just seen this girl screaming and sweeping away all the roasted chicken wings and secretly hiding a few bottles of Western wine, Mao Jue would have almost believed it.
Full of helplessness, Mao Jue shook his thin white yukata and turned out his two pockets.
"Do you think I look like I have sugar now?"
Is this girl too realistic? I immediately looked listless and had a cold expression that was blocking people thousands of miles away. She pouted her little mouth and hummed.
"Then what are you doing?"
However, at this time, Mao Jue lost the mood to play with her, and his face suddenly became serious. He bent down and almost touched Chiyohime's little face, and his voice was also extremely low.
"I need you to go back to Osaka right away!"
"Go back now?"
Obviously not enough fun! Chiyohime asked in a little shock, but Mao Jue's next question made him stunned again.
