The next morning, Li Xuan walked out of Dong Yunyun's room with black eyes and weak legs!
Last night, he was unable to do anything at all. Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er took turns to fight. The three of them struggled for two hours. The tossing was finally over. After Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er fell asleep, he got up secretly and went to the next door.
In Ye's room, after another tossing, after Ye fell asleep with a satisfied smile, he returned to Dong Yunyun's room.
As a result, Dong Yunyun discovered that he had sneaked out. As a result, Dong Yunyun woke up Pearl, and the two women launched a new round of revenge against him.
This tossing was not completed until almost dawn.
He hadn't slept for two hours, so he had to get up.
Even though he was very tired last night, he couldn't sleep in late today because today was the day when the army was setting out for Xikou Village ahead.
According to the plan they made yesterday, all the army set off today, taking civil and military officials and many craftsmen, and all the young and strong people to Xikou Village.
Yesterday, Wang Shanxu had already led a part of the forward troops to Xikou Village to make preparations. Early this morning, he received the news that Wang Shanxu and the others had successfully arrived at Xikou Village and had controlled and blocked all the hundreds of villagers in the village.
Get up, make sure no one escapes and inform the Ming Dynasty military government.
Starting yesterday, Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan also started making preparations. When Li Xuan arrived at the Chinese army tent with weak legs, everything was ready and ready to go at any time.
Li Xuan asked if the preparations were going well, and without any unnecessary nonsense, he just ordered the departure!
With the issuance of Li Xuan's order, the transfer operation of the Tang Dynasty officially began. The army set off in neat formations. In the middle of the army, there was a large amount of baggage with the baggage camp as the core. These baggage not only contained a large amount of food, but also
There are also some other messy things, including many weapons and so on.
As for the gold and silver, according to the usual practice, Li Xuan's bodyguards will personally carry it!
The Empress Dowager Bai also took the radiant Dong Yunyun, Zhuer, and Ye's three daughters on the carriage and went together. The Empress Dowager Bai looked at these three radiant women, and then at her son who had obviously black eyes,
His expression was not very good, and he said to the three women on the spot: "Even if you are young, you must know how to exercise restraint!"
These unkind words made Dong Yunyun and the three girls put away the smiles on their faces in an instant, and then bowed their heads obediently.
They still don't know that Queen Mother Bai is indeed unhappy, but the main reason for her unhappiness is not because they tormented Li Xuan all night, but because it has been so long since last year, when Li Xuan was still in Huangzhushan
, I slept with them basically every night, but I never laid any eggs.
Now things are going on that make Queen Mother Bai wonder if there is something wrong with her son's health. One woman's lack of pregnancy can be said to be a woman's problem, but three women are not pregnant. This is obviously not likely to be a woman's problem.
At this time, she had secretly made a decision in her heart. Now that she was out of the mountain, she had to find a doctor to give Li Xuan a good look.
The Tang Dynasty may have no heir to the throne, but the Li family cannot be cut off!
It is naturally impossible for Li Xuan to know what Queen Mother Bai is thinking. He is still busy today.
It's not easy for this army to leave. It doesn't just happen. There will always be a lot of messy things happening in the process.
In this transfer of the Tang Dynasty, the total number of people exceeded 1,500. A team of 1,500 people was not so easy to lead, because these 1,500 people were not all soldiers.
If they were all armies, it would be simple. They could all march according to orders. However, among the 1,500 people, only nearly a thousand were armies, and the remaining 500 or so were officials, craftsmen, and young men.
Ordinary people are accustomed to obeying orders like soldiers, and they always do some messy things.
Fortunately, Xikou Village is not too far from Liusha Village, only more than twenty miles away. One day is enough, and Wang Shanxu has already made preparations in advance to welcome the army at Xikou Village.
After running around for a long time, they finally arrived at Xikou Village in the afternoon.
After arriving at Xikou Village, Fang Dongquan and Liu Bagou were busy arranging their troops, while Li Xuan himself took Zeng Ziwen and several officers to a hilltop in Xikou Village to observe the situation of the entire Xikou Village from a high position.
As he saw on the map yesterday, the entire Xikou Village is located on the edge of a small river. The river turned a corner when passing through Xikou Village, so that it was surrounded by rivers to the north and east.
The north and east of Xikou Village are obviously small plains formed by the alluvial erosion of rivers for thousands of years. They are covered with fields filled with green crops.
However, the area of this small plain is not large, and it is not even as big as the plain at the foot of Huangzhu Mountain. Based on the area of this small plain and the grain output of this era, it is probably enough to feed about a thousand people at most.
However, on the opposite side of the river are rolling hills, and near the river, there are many long and narrow flat wildernesses. If the wilderness can be opened up, it may not be a problem to feed tens of thousands of people.
However, it is not easy to open up wasteland. To open up wasteland, we need not only to get rid of weeds, but more importantly, to build water conservancy facilities such as flood control systems. Otherwise, during the rainy season, these flat wildernesses will instantly turn into a puddle of water.
Ze.
The amount of work required to build flood control structures is quite large. It is probably because of this that the narrow, flat wilderness on the other side of the river has never been reclaimed.
To the west and south of Xikou Village are undulating hills. The villagers’ houses are built among the hills. Like many villages, the villagers’ houses are scattered among them, and there are many hills between the houses.
There is a small amount of dry land that has been reclaimed, and some crops have been planted on these dry lands.
Further to the west of Xikou Village, the terrain is still small hills, but to the south, the hills are getting higher and higher, and finally connect with the mountains.
Strictly speaking, the location of Xikou Village can barely be regarded as the edge of a mountain.
After observing the terrain, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction. This place is quite suitable for training and raising troops, more suitable than Huangzhu Mountain.
You can advance to attack, retreat to defend, and when things go wrong, you can even run back to the mountains!
Although there is not much cultivated land, there is a lot of wasteland that can be developed. As long as you spend some effort, it will not be a problem to develop the wasteland on the other side of the river.
Building water conservancy facilities may have been a difficult task for the hundreds of original villagers in Xikou Village, but it was not a big deal for the Tang Dynasty.
The total population of Xikou Village is only a few hundred people, and there are no more than a hundred young people. It is impossible to allocate enough manpower to build the flood control system on the other side of the river. However, the Tang Dynasty is different. Among the fifteen hundred people, almost all of them are
Young and strong, all of them have a reserved labor force. If they really want to be mobilized to build flood control structures, it will only take a few months.
It's just that Li Xuan wanted to use Xikou Village as a base to operate, but the Ming army didn't give him this time.
Less than three days after the new army of the Tang Dynasty moved to Xikou Village, the spies sent to Fucheng to monitor the movements of the Ming army half a month ago suddenly returned to Xikou Village, and brought back news that shocked Li Xuan and others: many Ming soldiers
The troops are gathering in the direction of Fucheng, and will soon go to Zhengtai to suppress the bandits!
