Chapter 67 Four Years
Since Zuo Houde was named General of the East of the Conquest, the Ming and Dayan have been recuperating. Although there are still a lot of friction between the two sides, the upper class deliberately controls this range, and there has never been a larger-scale conflict!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is four years. In these four years, Zuo Houde's military farming system has been perfect enough. Although Zuo Houde still has only an army of 200,000 on the surface.
But Zuo Houde can confidently say that in a war, Zuo Houde can definitely pull out an army of 600,000, and the population in the southeast has just exceeded 3 million. So he simply made contributions from the previous nine families. Otherwise, Zuo Houde would not dare to train troops like this and would not be able to support him!
Of course, in recent years, Zuo Houde has also used the business network to deploy the Shadow Guards to the north and south of the country. Zuo Houde can know the world without leaving Dingcheng!
Dingcheng, the General's Mansion in the East!
Zuo Houde looked at the unremarkable man in front of him and said, "Shadow! How about it?"
Ying Yi bowed and said, "Lord, we have been using the business network to arrange personnel for most cities in Qingzhou and Hanzhou over the years. As long as we have the opportunity, we can take advantage of the opportunity!"
Zuo Houde nodded with satisfaction and said, "How is it, is there news in Nanjing recently?"
"Lord, in the direction of Nanjing, the Ming army is mobilizing, and it seems that the war is not far away!"
Zuo Houde picked up the teacup, took a drink and looked at the shadow, and said seriously: "It's been four years. Even if the two sides are under control, the conflicts and frictions below have accumulated to a certain extent. With our provocation, this time it will even be a battle to destroy the country. You must always pay attention to the news!"
"promise!"
After the two of them finished discussing, Zuo Houde arranged for the Ying to retreat and return to the backyard alone.
Backyard, stone pavilion.
A pair of children were learning calligraphy under the guidance of their wife. When they saw Zuo Houde coming, Zuo Yao hurriedly ran over: "Dad! Look at the words I wrote! Look quickly!"
As he said that, Zuo Yao handed the rice paper in his hand to Zuo Houde. Zuo Houde picked it up and saw it. It was really a little hot. It made great progress compared to when he first learned it. Zuo Houde showed a gentle smile, touched Zuo Yao's head, and said softly: "No, it's better! Yu'er, where is yours?"
Zuo Houde walked towards Zuo Yu. At this time, Zuo Yu was holding up his pen and writing. Zuo Houde stepped forward and saw the four words written by Zuo Yu - Feng Hua in the prime of his life!
This word is square and meticulous in every stroke. Although it is a bit craftsmanship, it is quite impressive in terms of Zuo Yu's age. Zuo Houde showed joy and couldn't help but laugh: "What a grand style! Yu'er is more generous than Yao'er's writing!"
At this time, Huang Rong covered her face and smiled, and said, "Why don't you write it yourself, husband?"
Zuo Houde showed a helpless smile. He knew that his wife was teasing him. Zuo Houde has not been practicing calligraphy for many years. Calligraphy can be said to have only made a little progress, which is far inferior to his current wife. In another year or two, Zuo Houde will be the worst in the family!
Seeing his father's helplessness, Zuo Yu said seriously: "The words in his father are full of swords and iron horses!"
Zuo Houde has not practiced calligraphy all year round, and his basic skills have been much worse. A few days ago, when Zuo Houde performed for his children, his wife said that Zuo Houde's basic skills in calligraphy have declined a lot. Zuo Houde gritted his teeth and argued that his calligraphy is gradually becoming more and more transformed, and he has the spirit of a military career!
When the whole family heard Zuo Yu say this, they laughed together. This was already a joke at home.
Zuo Houde enjoys spending time with his family. After all, Zuo Houde is very busy every day now and has a rare time to spare!
With his wife and children, Zuo Houde and his family practiced calligraphy in the stone pavilion. In the afternoon, Zuo Houde was going to inspect the military camp again before leaving the stone pavilion.
Huang Rong looked at her husband's back and sighed a little. She didn't think her husband didn't have time to accompany her, but she felt that her husband was very hard-working!
At this time, Zuo Yu raised his head, looked at his mother, and said, "My mother! I will be like my father in the future!"
Huang Rong looked at her ten-year-old son in front of her and showed relief. Huang Rong's education methods for her daughter and son over the years. Huang Rong has always taught her son to be brave and responsible, and is relatively strict, but she is more pity for her daughter.
Huang Rong also understood that the foundation laid by her husband would still have to bear it in the future!
Huang Rong's way of education for her children was also recognized by Zuo Houde. After all, she only has this son, so Zuo Houde still hopes to be strict and can make a difference in the future!
...
In the military camp, Zuo Houde, accompanied by Lin Dongshi, began patrol.
Lin Dongshi was the number one martial arts player in that year. Later, after becoming a personal guard for Zuo Houde, he was promoted. Of course, Lin Dongshi himself worked hard and is now a general!
"Dongshi, what's going on over the military academy now?" Zuo Houde asked.
"Principal, there are some talents in this group now!" Lin Dongshi replied.
This military academy of martial arts evolved from the personal guard camp in that year, with Zuo Houde as the principal. Therefore, when there was no one, the first batch of personal guards of that year called Principal Zuo Houde to show their closeness.
Nowadays, most non-commissioned officers in the military are from military academy and are considered disciples of Zuo Houde. With these disciples, Zuo Houde's foundation in the military can be said to be deeply rooted.
Hearing Lin Dongshi's words, Zuo Houde nodded and walked to the Baigongfang. Zuo Houde said, "Go in and take a look!"
This Baigongshang was the small base of Han Yuan. In recent years, Baigongshang has not only been limited to the study of firearms, but also from military and national weapons to powerful people's livelihood weapons. Han Yuan also recruited some Mohist scholars to study together.
In recent years, the Baigongfang has produced a lot of things that are beneficial to the people and the country, and of course there are many secrets in it. So Zuo Houde moved the Baigongfang to the military camp and set it up as a military important place, and the army guarded it layer by layer.
Zuo Houde and Lin Dongshi walked to the door. The guards saw the two, especially when they looked at Zuo Houde, with excitement: "I have met the general."
Zuo Houde and his two talents walked into the Baigongshop, but there was a unique world inside, all kinds of machinery, full of science fiction!
Zuo Houde walked to the end before seeing Han Yuan. At this time, Han Yuan and an old man beside him were discussing. Seeing Zuo Houde, the two saluted together: "Have you seen the lord!"
This old man is also a Mo man, named Mo Yuan. He and Han Yuan have been studying new iron plows recently. They have been studying the powerful tools of people's livelihood over the years and have always been quite fruitful.
For example, the keel water truck developed by the two men two years ago has greatly improved the efficiency of irrigating farmland, and their contributions are indispensable in the harvest in the southeast over the years.
