"Yun Ye, I have never asked you, are you sending troops this time out of pity for the soldiers who died in battle, or to show off your own military merit?" Liu Fang suddenly asked about the original intention of this matter while walking.
.
"Old man, if possible, I would like to stay in Yushan for the rest of my life, but it turns out I can't. The generals in the court are now in bad luck. They have discovered that retrieving the bones of the fallen soldiers may be a good excuse to restart the war.
Those big bosses counted the resources in their hands and found that I, Yun Ye, was the best boss. I had an elite battleship group under my command, had strong connections, and could attract His Majesty's attention. The most important thing is
Yes, the Tang Dynasty has more people than me, and less me makes it look quieter. Isn’t the Navy just for doing this kind of work? So I came. No one asked me for my opinion, and no one cared about me.
Life or death, they just give orders and I just execute them."
"Yun Ye! As a soldier, it is your duty to die in battle. If you enjoy the treatment of a Marquis of Wu, you will have to pay the price of a Marquis of Wu. No one can be worthy of you or sorry for you. If you are a commoner, no one will
The lives of more than 10,000 people are put in your hands. You can jump around and curse when you go back, or you can go to the home of the person who asked you to come to Liaodong. It doesn't matter. Now, the only thing you can think about is to complete the mission and save the soldiers.
Take it back intact and don’t think about anything else.”
Hearing the old man's stern scolding, Yun Ye bent down to salute and was taught. Just now, because of Li Er's letter, he had lost some of his sanity and had given up on himself.
"You are extremely well prepared, have very powerful weapons, and have more than 10,000 soldiers who can go through fire and water at your command. There is nothing to be afraid of. In my opinion, this mission is indeed not that difficult.
, but you don’t want to think about the fact that if you set a fire in Liaodong, everyone will be devastated. Who will bear the blame? "
They are all people who have been well-oiled in the war. How could they not clearly see the situation in front of them? The enemy on the opposite side is not very powerful. They only have trouble after returning home. This kind of massacre without distinction between soldiers and civilians will definitely attract overwhelming reviling.
"It doesn't matter. When I came here, I made General Li Jing promise that they would take the blame for me. If their heads are not big enough, there is also His Majesty the Emperor. He said that no matter what I did in Liaodong, it will be on him."
Just go up."
"Hahaha," Liu Fang laughed, pointed at Yun Ye and said, "Then what are you worried about? Whose general already had someone who took the blame before the war started? If the Sui Emperor had someone like him today,
He was so broad-minded that he couldn't even take down a Goryeo. All the defeated generals were punished, but the emperor was the only one who was right."
"Old man, why are you so excited? Today's emperor often blames himself. It's not a big deal. It's late at night. You have a good rest. I can say a few words about the general direction. When it comes to the actual march and formation,
It's up to you when the time comes. Not only do we need to dig out the corpses, but we also need to get some money to bring them back. This makes sense."
"That's your business. I won't do such dirty things." After saying that, he went back to his tent. Yun Ye stretched out his hand to get the wine bottle back. Seeing that the old man pretended not to know anything, he gave up. Today
He still had to reply to the emperor's letter, and there were a lot of bad things waiting to be done, so he had to go back to his own tent and burn the midnight oil to fight.
When I came to the beach again after dawn, I was pleasantly surprised to find that ice cubes of all sizes in the sea had disappeared. Several small fishing boats were already casting and collecting nets in the offshore waters, and there were also some dark-skinned fishermen.
I was also busy lifting the boat into the sea, stepping on the wet beach with my bare feet, as if I couldn't feel the cold. A stern with a sail appeared on the sea level, and I kept throwing the rope into the sea and lifting it up again.
, this is the pioneer ship that detects the waterway, and it performs routine duties every time it sets sail. This is the official ship of Dengzhou Port.
When the fleet comes back, Yun Ye still has to conduct necessary on-board drills for those soldiers on land. Time is very tight. If there is a sleet at this time, the entire Liaodong will become a quagmire, bringing unexpected disasters to the army.
The letter to Li Er last night was difficult to write. He didn’t know where Li Er heard the nonsense that the turtle carried around the island, and he actually wanted to find this wandering turtle after completing the task.
If possible, capture the turtle alive and bring it back alive for him to see.
He was always full of confidence in his army. He believed that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were unparalleled in the world. As long as he gave the order, the soldiers could conjure a turtle even if there was no turtle.
"Wei Chen has heard that there are huge iron ships in the sea and flying iron blocks in the sky, but I have never heard of such a big turtle in the sea. If there are such auspicious beasts, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch them with my own strength.
Weichen once heard that General Li Jing has the power to reach heaven and earth. If..."
Li Er knew that the Qiu bearded guest was a strange person from overseas. Now that he has disappeared, he might have gone to look for overseas fairy mountains again. Since Li Jing can blame me for going to Liaodong to dig up bones, why can't he blame the matter of looking for overseas fairy mountains?
When it comes to him, with a professional like Qiu Bearker, you will surely find the fountain of youth quickly.
We were sleepy early in the morning. Shan Ying and the others had no idea where they had gone, and there was no news about Lai Chuanfeng and Ren Xiong. The fleet had agreed to arrive in the next two days, but there was no trace. Since there was nothing to do, it was better to go back to sleep.
But the naked fisherman got off the boat carrying a fish basket. Looking at the smile on his face, he knew he had something good. The guards immediately called the naked fisherman over.
A naked man looked particularly insignificant when facing a heavily armed sergeant. He didn't know whether to hide in front or behind. He walked up to Yun Ye with a grimace.
Yun Ye snatched the fish basket and said while looking through it: "They are all men, what is there to be ashamed of? Going to the sea to fish for ginseng, why should you be wearing clothes if you are not naked? Hey, you have a good harvest today, the basket is full of fine purple.
Sea cucumbers are so good, but there are also two sea clams? I wonder if there are any beads in them."
After driving away the personal guards, Yun Ye and the fishermen squatted on the ground and used knives to cut open the sea clams. The fishermen had become familiar with the existence of this general in the past few days and had never seen him bully others. When the fishermen caught good things, he also followed them.
I bought it at a good price. When I heard him say that you have to be naked when fishing for sea cucumbers, your heart warmed up. He was right. Anyone who fished for sea cucumbers and wore clothes would risk their life.
"Good luck. A purple pearl has grown so big. It can be sold for a good price in the capital. This thing can only be used by wealthy people. It is against the law for ordinary people to use it. If you keep it, it will be less than ten
If you don’t have enough money, don’t sell it.”
Yun Ye dug out a pearl the size of a pigeon egg from a sea clam, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, put it in the hands of the fisherman, and warned him not to sell it cheaply.
"I want these sea cucumbers, Lord Marquis, for ten cents each. I don't count your thirty. I want three hundred cents from that man. Get dressed quickly. Lord Marquis, I'm as cold as a tortoise in my cloak."
"
After saying that, he was about to hang the fish basket on the saddle. The fisherman giggled and spread his hands. The purple pearls were shining brightly in the morning sun. They were very beautiful. He bared his white teeth and said to Yun Ye: "Ten
Through."
Facts have once again proved that there are no fools in the world. When this pearl is in the hands of a merchant, it is considered lucky to be able to give him two guans of money. The marquis just said ten guans of money, so sell it to him decisively, ten guans of money.
, no bargaining.
Yun Ye laughed loudly, took the beads, asked Liu Jinbao for a large silver pancake worth ten taels, put it in his hand and said to him: "Master Hou, I don't have the habit of carrying a lot of copper coins. You can take this silver pancake."
If you can't spend it at the bank, take it to a bank in the city and ask them to exchange it for you. Remember, silver is expensive and copper is cheap now. Ten taels of silver can be exchanged for eleven coins. Don't be deceived. Finally,
I need to find a few more people."
The fisherman held the silver cake and kowtowed to Yun Ye, then ran up to the village. As for wearing clothes, who would wear clothes if he had more than a dozen coins?
Smiling, he ordered Liu Jinbao to give others money for sea cucumbers. They were all poor people, and Yun Ye had no intention of taking advantage of them.
If you have good ingredients, you will naturally make a delicious meal. Stir-fried sea cucumbers with green onions are absolutely delicious. We hosted a banquet for Yuan Dake and Liu Fang. There were no other dishes, just a large pot of sea cucumbers fried with green onions, a jar of wine, and the copper in the army.
The basin is enough for three people to have a big meal.
Yuan Dake ate a lot with his head down, then raised his head, took a sip of wine, and stretched out his thumb towards Yun Ye: "I have long heard that Mr. Hou has the skill of changing teeth. This black and inconspicuous thing passed by Mr. Hou.
Hands are really the most delicious food in the world. Xiaguan has been an official in Dengzhou for three years and has always thought that this place is a remote and remote place. I didn't expect that such a delicious food can be found in the area under Xiaguan's jurisdiction. I am really short-sighted."
"I am still not convinced that he is a brilliant scholar, proficient in hundreds of schools of thought, and has exquisite orifices. But with this pot of sea cucumbers, I have to be convinced. I can be considered a person who has seen the world. The food in the palace
Compared with this dish of yours, it is far from it. My appetite is satisfied today, but I don’t know when I will be able to satisfy my hatred."
Yuan Dake was smart enough not to ask about Liu Fang's background. He cleverly changed the subject and asked how he could send this delicacy to Chang'an and sell it at a good price.
"Old Yuan, sea cucumbers are a precious thing. You can't transport them alive to the capital, unless you transport hundreds of them on one ship regardless of the cost. I saw a few from the East Palace last time, and that's probably how they were transported.
Yes, if you want to make sea cucumbers an industry in Dengzhou, then you can only make dried sea cucumbers. Remember, remove the internal organs, boil the sea cucumbers in sea water, and then wrap them in salt and plant ash.
, just dry it in a cool place. When you return to the capital, just soak it in water.
But if you want to eat fresh food, you have to come to Dengzhou." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
