Chapter 147

As for how Shi Xiujin complained to her father and sister after she returned, Liu Miantang didn't care at all.

On the second day, the carriages in the Huaiyang Palace were also neatly arranged. Miantang took Xiao Yier and Cui Fujiner on the road and headed straight for Beihai.

Unlike when he went to the northwest, he was secretly afraid that Cui Jiu would find out, this time Mian Tang followed the army openly and followed the carriage.

Although the road to Beihai is long, it was once a long expedition to Beihai during the reign of the late emperor. What was the complete construction of the post road? It was not difficult to march. Originally, Miantang was worried that his son was too young and could not afford to travel far. However, Xiao Yier ate, slept all day long, and was held by the wet nurse to bask in the sun. She felt so comfortable that her little mouth was so silly.

Because Cui Xingzhou was going to wear armor, when he entered the North Sea, he was so stuffy that he had prickly heat. Although he marched all the way, he would occasionally take the time to ride a fast horse to reunite with his wife and children for a while when camping.

Every time I saw him take off his armor, his body turned red. Miantang felt distressed when he saw it. Fortunately, she carried a lot of medicines with her. She found that itchy and dehumidifying the medicine was found and wiped it on Cui Xingzhou.

Cui Xingzhou is like this, not to mention other soldiers, most of them simply walk barefoot without armor, but in this way, they will rush to the scorching sun, and they will start to have a big skin. If they really encounter an enemy attack at this time, the soldier will be like a shelled snail and will be slaughtered.

However, Cui Xingzhou was very happy to see his son Xiao Yier.

The little baby was wearing a bare butt and wearing only a small bellyband. He was eating fruits on the ventilated and cool carriage with gauze. As the months grew, Xiao Yier began to taste the taste of the world. He tried to eat some egg yolks, and recently he could eat some soft fruits.

So Miantang prepared some fine and soft pulp for him and fed it with a small spoon. He only ate the little doll lying on the straw mat, shaking his calves desperately, as if a dog was shaking his tail happily.

While feeding his son, Miantang also delivered the cut fruit pieces to his husband's mouth.

Cui Xingzhou was eating sweet and crispy fruits and saw various local anecdotes scattered on the cool mat of the carriage. Some of the pages were carefully marked with small characters by Miantang, but he was a little puzzled about what Miantang was doing.

Seeing Cui Xingzhou reading the words she wrote, Mian Tang smiled and said, "There are many alien races in the North Sea, and there are many wars. I can also see more local ambitions and understand the customs and customs. Look..."

She pointed to a line of small words and said, "The local soldiers and armor are mostly made of a kind of vine. They not only can resist swords and guns, but also shade the sun and cool, which is much more practical than iron armor."

Cui Xingzhou actually heard from the guide on the way, and he also wanted to make armor. However, when he was just a little newcomer, he had to spend time just collecting these raw materials for making rattan armor, let alone arranging manual preparations. It was not easy to relieve thirst for a while.

Mian Tang was applying medicine to Cui Xingzhou's back. After hearing this, he said, "Didn't you send someone to find my brothers? Not only Beihai can make vine armor. I heard that you were coming to Beihai, and I was idle at home to read books. When I saw this section, I sent them a message to them, asking them not to come back for the time being, go to the south to collect vine and come back, and hire skilled people in the local area to prepare and armor drawings. During the days of our march, Lu Laoer wrote to me that he had already made most of it, and in a few days, he should be able to deliver some of it..."

This man and woman think about it. Before the march, Cui Xingzhou considered carefully what he was, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Beihai, those things that could not be worn out.

However, Liu Miantang quietly thought of all these seemingly trivial things and did it.

This made Cui Xingzhou realize again that this soft woman who gave birth to a son was indeed Lu Wen, who was in strife with him back then.

I still remember that the rain continued in the mountains. Lu Wen expected that many of his soldiers must have had their feet. He even launched a surprise attack when the soldiers were hurting their feet and could not walk. He won a great victory, which almost made his generals all feel ashamed.

Later, he went to Yangshan in person to find out that the men under Lu Wen had been waiting for this rainy season early in the morning, and everyone's shoes were moisture-proof grass-gray insoles.

Moreover, the bandits of Yangshan pretended to be merchants who donated charity early in the morning and sent a large number of grass-made shoes to his soldiers. These shoes are usually quite durable, and when the rainy season comes, they love to cause foot disease...

At that time, Cui Xingzhou only felt that this method of trying hard to win was so vicious? What kind of dog man could have come up with?

Thinking about it now, he showed his eccentric cunning. He should have guessed that Lu Wen was a woman.

King Huaiyang remembered the pain in the past and looked at the woman holding his son in front of him. He didn't know for a moment that he should kiss her well or spank her to relieve his old hatred.

In short, after arriving in Beihai, the worries of military and military supplies that were discovered were finally resolved smoothly.

Just when the army of W Prefecture arrived in Cangwu County in Beihai, the four brothers Zhongyi arrived in time with dozens of cars of soldiers.

In addition to the vine armor, they also brought a lot of herbs for cooling off. Miantang wrote clearly in the letter that the King of Huaiyang did not like them, so this time he prepared the military preparations, so he asked the brothers to pat the King of Huaiyang's flattery, so that the prince would not be disliked in the future, and tied up and put them in a carriage and sent out.

The four brothers Zhongyi don’t take anyone seriously except the boss, and they don’t bother to pat Cui Xingzhou’s high butt.

But after the commander gave them, they naturally had to do their best to show that they were hundreds of times stronger than Fan Hu whom Cui Xingzhou assigned to the commander.

This errand was done beautifully. The soldiers of W State changed into cool vine armor and finally did not have to be exposed to the scorching sun and practiced without any cover.

But in addition to military armor, things like building camps and training naval forces also followed one after another. These are not something that the soldiers and horses in W state who are not familiar with the place can handle independently.

After Cui Xingzhou arrived at the county, he summoned local officials. The local county magistrate was an old man with a beard and 50 years old, named Su Xing. Unfortunately, County magistrate Su was very greedy for the things in the cup and was not awake for most of a day.

He was once the censor in the court, but unfortunately he said frankly that Empress Dowager Wu was demoted to Cangwu County and stayed for thirty years. His spirit when he was young was almost wiped out by the miasma in the North Sea, and the rest was the only thing left to be lazy and tired of living by the laziness.

Cui Xingzhou frowned at the drunken governor Su, and asked him about some local affairs. However, the governor Su either did not know about it after asking or said that this matter was not his own.

When asked at the end, the King of Huaiyang was already full of anger and slapped the table and said, "As a local official in Cangwu County, you know that there will be troops from the court coming to reinforce, but you are unprepared and have a shirked attitude. What is it like! Are you receiving the salary of the court for nothing?"

County Magistrate Su rolled his eyelids, and a trace of purity appeared in his eyes. He smiled coldly: "The officials do not want to receive the salary from the court again. Unfortunately, the officials in the court are sensible now. No one has been demoted to Beihai for a long time. The memorial of the officials who retired and returned home was delivered to the local government for more than ten times, but no one has ever received the hot potato... King Huaiyang, you have many capable people under your command, otherwise, you would like to ask for a report to the top and simply dismiss me, an ineffective old man."

After saying this, Old Man Su made an excuse for hemorrhoids and left with a swing of his sleeve.

King Huaiyang hasn't seen such a local official who is ignorant for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that he had only the right to dispatch military power and had no local jurisdiction, he really wanted to immediately order someone to capture the old alcoholic and use a wooden board to treat his hemorrhoids.

However, Li Guangcai comforted King Huaiyang: "Su Xing was a talented man back then, but he worked as a local official in Beihai for half his life. It's a pity... The land of Beihai is because there are many foreign tribes, and most of them are governed by local chieftains. Although they are nominally dependent on the court, they are mostly out of jurisdiction. The county magistrate Su said that he would not be under his jurisdiction, which is not a shirk. Moreover, Cangwu County is a poor county, and almost no one receives the imperial court's entitlement every year, and he has to pay annual tribute. In addition, the Japanese are troubled, and most local people flee. This land is vast and sparsely populated, so the county magistrate Su has no money and no one can do anything."

Cui Xingzhou didn't say anything after hearing this, but in the next few days, he led people to visit several nearby counties and counties in a very short and dark place. Unfortunately, they were tall and burly, completely different from the local short and dark locals. Whenever they walked past those low-risen houses, someone would look at him with strange eyes, especially some of them looked like barbarians, and they all revealed unfriendly cold light, as if they were eating people.

Going further apart, when you reach the local chieftain's jurisdiction, there are even some fierce guards intercepting them and cannot get close at all. Just as the governor of Su County said, it is impossible to gather the local people to build a barracks quickly.

After walking all the way, the sky was so upset. When Cui Xingzhou took Li Guang back to the station, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a short-sleeved shirt calling out the soldiers who were building a thatched hut to get herbal tea under a built pergola.

Seeing Cui Xingzhou and the others coming sweating profusely, the leading woman smiled and shouted happily: "The prince and Lord Li are back! I am new to the summer herbal tea today. I have just been in the cold town of the well for a long time. Come and drink a bowl to relieve the heat."

She smiled brightly, and when she saw it, she unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth, and most of her worries disappeared in a short time.

The medical skills that Liu Miantang learned back then came to Beihai and became a place to use. She decided today's herbal tea recipe after trying several times. Because the medicinal materials are sufficient, it is much more useful than the herbal tea that locals can cool down. In addition, a lot of sweet grass and honey are added to the herbal tea, which is removed from the original smell of medicine. It is very sweet and delicious. For a moment, many local dolls were also attracted to watch with their eyes on the railing.
