Chapter 255 Today is different

"Isn't this Linglong? Why are you standing here?" Han Shan, the captain of the black guard, saw the maid on the side of the road at a glance. As soon as he said hello, the maid turned around and ran back. Han Shan thought he was scared, so he looked at the alley ahead. Gu Xi stood against the door, his body was a little soft, and he had to support him to stand steadily.

These days, I am so crazy about this enemy. When I can't sleep alone at night, I can't help but do some activities with me and consume some energy to sleep. Seeing Chen Xie get off the carriage and come in along the alley, he has no strength at all. Even if he can't move his steps, he is even blurred in his eyes.

After all, she is a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. In this era when the average life expectancy is not high, there are many people who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Which of the beauties on the Qinhuai River debuted at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In the world of the world of fireworks, finding someone to be a good person is probably the best choice for every firework woman? Didn’t the famous Liu Rushi also become a good person three times? Well, once failed, and the time he had with Chen Zilong. To say a vicious word, Chen Zilong played with Liu Rushi for several years.

Chen Xie tried his best tolerate these women. He always hoped that they could do something by themselves. After all, when people were idle, they would think randomly. He wanted to hold Gu Xi's hand and walked away, but she gently pushed it away and took a step back and said, "I can't go hand in hand with the master." Oh, this is the so-called ritual.

Chen Xie firmly held Gu Xi's soft hand and said with encouragement: "It's okay, on the ground in Dengzhou, everyone dares to talk about your gossip." Gu Xi was still hesitating, and Chen Xie had already tried hard, dragged her slowly to the alley and walked into the new community through the back door. Many residents stopped and bowed to greet him along the way. Chen Xie nodded his head, grabbed Gu Xi's hand without relaxing at all, and took her to bear the greetings from these people.

Gu Xi kept lowering her head, did she look up at Chen Xie? At this time, she needed to look up. The women who were as cheap as duckweed on the Qinhuai River enjoyed respect from others at this time. They felt that they were individuals, not sluts that everyone looked down upon. This is probably the difference between Chen Xie and many people in this era. In Chen Xie's eyes, these women are living lives one by one, not toys. In this society with strict ethics, women like Gu Xi have to rely closely on men.

A small separation is better than a newlywed. A desperate struggle has exhausted all the strength. Even the flesh screen with a famous weapon is as unresistible as it is in front of the golden finger of the shuttle. In order to please the man, Gu Xi used all the tricks he could use, and it was almost like Xiao Linglong to help.

**After he recovered a little, when Chen Xie was smoking in bed, Gu Xi had to hold on. He ordered the servants to prepare supper and asked the maid to prepare hot water for bathing. After a while, he came back and sat down next to Chen Xie and said softly: "Master, why not move to live with Sister Ying Niang? There will always be a sequence when entering the door."

Chen Xie was surprised by her words, and after thinking for a moment, he realized that she was worried about being jealous. Ying Niang was a local snake, and she could please her. Although she was not old, she had her own set of survival experience.

"She has her business, what are you going to do? Live here with peace of mind and get familiar with the mall's affairs first. In the future, the shopping malls will be as big as you can do in the future. It's all yours." But just a second thought, Chen Xie made a decision. It would be better to make a decision on many things first. This mall is under the name of United Business, and the capital is all paid by Chen Xie himself. Now it seems that it is quite suitable for Gu Xi. It is better to hold the shares of United Business first.

Huang Long wanted face very much and did not come to discuss with Chen Xie in person. Instead, five days after receiving the money and food, he sent an assistant Shang Kexi. Chen Xie naturally ignored this guy and asked his subordinate Wang Qinian to talk to him. This would be a gift to him.

Wang Qinian was very efficient and the matter was settled in one day. Huang Long didn't have much to take advantage of, because of Mao Wenlong's relationship, Dongjiang Town's trade was not as good as before. The fur and wild ginseng were basically out of stock, and a lot of wood and fish meal could be obtained. Especially for North Korea's wood, Dongjiang Town sent troops to cut it directly. There was naturally no dry wood.

North Korea is now dependent on the Later Jin Dynasty. Facing the Dongjiang soldiers who came to chop wood, it is better to just think that this is not the case. Cutting some "fire" is better than starting a war. It is only in the later period that North Korea sent troops to fight with the Qing army.

For Huang Taiji, it is necessary to destroy Dongjiang Town. North Korea is now the granary of the Later Jin Dynasty. The existence of the Dongjiang Army directly threatens the food supply of the Later Jin Dynasty. The war in the cold weapon era is not something that can be fought at all times. In the Battle of Daling River, Huang Taiji needs a lot of time to rest and deal with internal struggles. The people of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty are soldiers, which does not mean that they don’t have to work in wars all day. In history, after the Battle of Daling River, Huang Taiji was calm for more than a year.

Of course, Chen Xie would not kindly tell Huang Long, you have to be careful, Huang Taiji will beat you next year. Even if he says it, he will believe it. Everyone knows that since Chen Xie digested the Liaodong soldiers in Dengzhou, what Huang Long is most worried about is that Chen Xie swallowed up his own capital. The two of them rarely interact, they never interact.

At the end of August, the thieves entered the hinterland of Shanxi in large numbers. In September, Liu Xiang harassed Fujian. In November, Liu Xiang harassed Zhejiang.

There were white sails on the blue sea, and dozens of warships were trained on the sea. As the navy guard, Xilaojing is currently the supreme commander. In theory, there was a guerrilla warrior to the navy camp, but Chen Xie was reluctant to mention it, which made Xilaojing very concerned, and naturally worked hard to work.

The Chinese lucky ships are obviously not suitable for large-scale naval battles. Neither speed nor firepower can be compared with European ships. There is no doubt about this. Fortunately, the great general Chen Xie has realized this problem and is starting to build a ship.

Xilaojing's flagship Dengzhou No. 1 is a five-hundred-material warship recently launched, and is the largest lucky ship in Dengzhou army. This kind of ship can only install four 12-pound rifled cannons on the fore deck, and two six-pound cannons can be installed at the stern of the ship. The other firepower makes Xilaojing dare not install, and the deck cannot withstand it.

The only thing worthy of praise is the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. The 12-pound cannon has an exquisite cannon car with two rows of small wheels under it. When firing, the recoil is offset by the process of the wheels scratching back. There is also a shaking handle in front of the cannon car, which can flexibly adjust the elevation angle.

Xi Laojing fantasized that he could own a large ship from Europe, not many, only ten ships. Each ship was equipped with thirty such rifled guns, and he could defeat all opponents on the Chinese sea.

The binoculars are definitely a reflection of the high-tech level of the Ming craftsmen. Watching the warships galloping back and forth at the sea, the target ship was smashed into pieces by a 12-pound rifled cannon at a distance of 2,500 meters to 3,000 meters. Although the hit rate is less than 5%, it took a lot of gunpowder and projectiles. However, Xilai Jing still affirmed the efforts of the soldiers.

On the way back, the warship in front suddenly sent a signal and found two ships of unknown origin, which looked like a lucky ship.

The Western Labor is at ease, and as long as it is a lucky boat, you don’t have to worry too much. You ordered the signal soldiers to send flags and surround them.

These two ships only have 500 materials. After seeing them clearly, Xi Laojing felt more at ease and said to his deputy beside him: "Send a signal and tell them that we are the Dengzhou navy, stop the ship for inspection, otherwise we will sink them."

The flying eagle flag was flying in the wind, and the dense sound of horse hooves seemed to shatter the earth. However, a mere three thousand cavalry charge together created such a huge momentum. In this era, cavalry was ultimately a decisive factor on the battlefield. Unfortunately, Mongolian horses had super endurance, but they were not suitable for heavy sprints. Chen Xie, who had always wanted to build a heavy cavalry, gave up his unrealistic ideas.

Three thousand cavalrymen were wearing black cloaks, motorcycle helmets, chain mail, coated with crotch-protective anti-spike suits, a short gun on their legs, a powerful crossbow behind them, and a saber on their waists. Unfortunately, there was no fire hat, otherwise the revolver would be built, and this cavalry could sweep across East Asia.

The cavalry team that ended the drill was neatly lined up to accept Chen Xie's inspection. Chen Xie, who was slowly riding his horse, felt countless hot eyes. The cavalry was very expensive, and Chen Xie's cavalry was even more expensive. The treatment was the best, the equipment was the best, and the source of soldiers was the best. Looking at these young faces, Chen Xie seemed to see that on the battlefield in the future, the defeated soldiers of the Later Jin wailed under the iron hooves of these cavalry.

The commander rushed over from afar, and after he was dismounted, he reported loudly: "General, the Western Laijing garrison sent people to report the message, and the Fujian guerrilla general Zheng Zhilong sent a messenger to urgently meet the general."

When Chen Xie heard this, he remembered something in his mind. Zheng Zhihu hasn't died yet. Oh, at the end of the year, he was beaten by Liu Xiang. It seems that Liu Xiang has been very active recently. Sometimes in Fujian and sometimes in Zhejiang. It's so noisy. Zheng Zhihu is here to ask for help. Is it because of the face of the Fuzhou Dafa Money Bank's semi-colon?

After saying goodbye to Yangjiadian, Chen Xie led his personal guards to sprint on the road. At the gate of Zhangjiazhuang, he saw Xi Laojing and Zheng Zhihu beside him from afar. Chen Xie, who was used to hypocrisy, naturally had to get off the horse and walk over. He shouted intimately from afar: "Is it Brother Mang here?" Zheng Zhihu looked at Chen Xie with complicated eyes at this time. This guy just went to the capital to fight a battle and destroyed Kong Youde, so he became a general. The eldest brother was exhausted in Fujian, and he was still a guerrilla.

Thinking that this time he had something to ask for, Zheng Zhihu didn't dare to act like a hero. Liu Xiang was not easy to fight, and whether he could win a big victory was very important. Chen Xie's attitude here was very important. He smiled, Zheng Zhihu stepped forward and saluted from afar: "Zheng Zhihu has seen the general." Chen Xie stood outside three steps with a smile and looked at him. Zheng Zhihu gritted his teeth... (To be continued...)
