Chapter 613 Black Fang
First, a two-masted blessing boat approached the port slowly and moored in the inland river to the west of Majia Port. A few acquaintances dressed in cotton armor stepped off the boat. flag army.

Not long after the pilot ship docked, fourteen black and red two-masted blessing boats with fish eyes slowly approached the port, followed by five five-hundred-year-old shark ships led by thousand-year-old warships.

The soldiers on the big ship were dressed in red and red jackets, and the leading eunuch was wearing a fox-fur gown embroidered with red silk and stood at the bow of the ship, looking at this small ship port that could be seen at a glance from afar. There are many, everyone wears buckskin bearskin or fur coats that don’t know what they are, and they look like Jurchens more than Han people.

It can be said to be extremely shabby, but the eunuch couldn't help opening his mouth and showing a relieved smile—he passed through many places along the way, and he was used to seeing the igloo of the Heishui Mohe Jurchen and the simple watchtower on Shuihu Peak. This was the first time he saw the expedition The soldiers built the wall, built houses, and even looked like they were going to reclaim the land. They were really still alive, and their lives were getting better and better. Isn't this worth smiling happily?
Do not!
Chen Ju realized that the smirk he opened his mouth would reveal the black teeth that had been spoiled by eating sugar when he was a child, so he immediately closed his mouth reservedly, leaving only a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and nodded slowly.

Among the Eastern Expeditionary Army swarming over, Chen Ju found Ma Gui's tall figure, without any decoration on his body, just like those airtight banner troops. The only difference in uniform is that the banner troops are all brown or mixed. Only Ma Gui's coat is completely white, which is very conspicuous in the crowd.

The trestle bridge that had already been built was not enough for the huge fleet to dock. The eight warships were moored in the sea, and the small boats were put down to meet the soldiers. Chen Ju's boat was moored by the bridge first, and when he disembarked, he began to carry the goods with the flag army.

"The eunuch Chen Ju, the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, set off from Beijing on September [-]th by the emperor's order, passing through Tianjin, Xiyiwei, Kuwu Island, and [-] miles of hundreds of households to North Asia, Merica, to the general and everyone. Send a message to the warriors, and hand over the luggage."

Chen Ju paused when he said this, and gave everyone a chance to accept the emperor's order to bow down, and said in a loud voice as much as possible: "The emperor knows that you have worked hard, and specially bestowed the land outside the Great Wall and the clans of all the monarchs, regardless of Mongolian, Han, Jurchen, and North Korea. ——Bansheng, this is the land of the Ming Dynasty!"

Plate liter land?

Ma Gui, Ma Jin and the others froze immediately when they heard the grateful smile on the emperor's face knowing their hard work. This sounded like a reward to the Jurchen and Korean soldiers, but it seemed like a reward to the Han and Mongols. It is punishment, especially the few remaining officers of their expeditionary force are all from Wanquan and other places who entered the Xuanfu Lecture Hall. They know too well where Bansheng is.

That's beyond the Great Wall, beyond the Great Wall!
"Here, please announce it to the governor, Bansheng?" Chen Ju read out the emperor's order, and even Ma Gui would bow down and obey the order. The emperor's order was overwhelmed, seventeen of the deceased were cut off from the news, and Ma even received a posthumous title once, Your Majesty, Your Majesty will move our clan to Bansheng?"

"Please, everyone, this matter is a long story, so please be patient and don't be impatient. It is the matter of this year, let me tell you in detail, this is really a great reward from His Majesty to thank you for your hard work, loyalty and bravery. "

Chen Ju sternly said that he was shivered by the cold wind. It wasn't until now that he felt cold. His autumn was over when he sailed four thousand miles from Kuwu Island. He was just thinking about how to deal with the situation. Chang Huan made it clear to these expedition soldiers who had been away from home for more than two years.

He cleared his throat, and said: "In recent years, the generals in northern Xinjiang have been out of commission. Saibei saw that my generals were young, and thought they were weak and could be bullied. At the beginning of this year, I asked the emperor for a reward, and threatened that if I didn't give the reward, I would go to war. See, all the ministries outside the Great Wall are turmoiled for a while, and there is a great intention to bring about another war."

Ma Gui stared wide-eyed and scolded: "It's too much bullying, Ma can go out to fight! Take the boat back and fight!"

"General, there is no need to be impatient. Your Majesty has no choice but to invite Ma Shuai, a lecturer in the Xuanfu Lecture Hall, to enjoy his old age as General Zhenshuo. Ma Shuai took office to rectify the army for two months. In the suburbs, many hunting trips."

When it came to the word safari, Chen Ju said with an intriguing smile on his face, "All the ministries outside the Great Wall said that 'Master Ma Taishi is returning', and the flags and drums of all the ministries died down. I will send riders to the capital to apologize and regret the past. However, a military disaster disappeared, and the Dongyang Marshal Chen, who loves crooked ideas, sent a letter to the court, saying that the emperor knew that I was bewitched by an adulterer, and that he would not be punished this time, but he was required to hand over the adulterer who bewitched him and take him away. His troops sent all his troops to serve in the army, and cut off three hundred miles of bansheng as a punishment."

"We men don't know what's going on, I replied that not only agreed, but also happily handed over the two tribal leaders who were named commanders to Kou City. When we went to sea, I answered that I was discussing with Ma Shuai how many people should be handed over to the army service."

Chen Ju looked at Shang Ma Jin and the others with disbelief in their eyes, and said: "The imperial court set up Bansheng Guards outside the Great Wall. In addition to the military fields, they allocated [-] mu of land to the families of the soldiers in the Eastern Expedition, as a comfort for the suffering of the kings— ——The place is too cold, and the rebellious people in the south will suffer from frostbite and freeze to death before passing Kuwu Island, so they have been dispatched to Xinming and have not sent additional troops to General Ma.”

"This time we escorted the northern regions to recruit 290 banner troops, [-] craftsmen of various trades, [-] strange tools such as saws, hammers, axes, shovels, and hoes, and more than [-] catties of iron, copper, tin, lead, etc. All kinds of medicines are useless, [-] pieces of cotton cloth are used for trade, and there are things that General Ma needs most.”

A smile appeared on Chen Ju's face, and he accidentally exposed his black teeth again. He quickly pursed his lips, and continued to say reservedly: "Dongyang Chen Shuai opened a quilt factory in Beiyang, Tianjin, and purchased two sets of thick cotton quilts for the Eastern Expedition Army. One thousand four hundred beds, two thousand four hundred sets of new military uniforms, this is a letter from Chen Shuai, who is preparing for the luggage, and then..."

The Eastern Expeditionary Army listened to the ins and outs of the matter, but still didn't feel how kind it was to give them [-] mu of land. It would be good if it was anywhere south of the Great Wall, but it happened to be north of the Great Wall. It made them seem a little worried, but it was reassuring to hear that Ma Fang was now the chief soldier of Xuanfu.

Ma Gui and the others are all Ma Fang's former troops. They knew that he was the only old general who could lead the Ming cavalry to the Mongolian camp. Most of the supplies needed were supplemented with Chen Ju's arrival, which was already the best result for them.

Wait until the fields are cleared and the crops planted—they will likely find a way to take their families over.

Wherever the people are, where the land is, there is the home.

The young eunuch blinked at Ma Gui and the other officers and men, seeing that they were not saying anything but waiting for him to speak, he had no choice but to ask, "Can you give us a bowl of hot water so that we can go inside to keep warm? By the way, the emperor I want to meet the Yanian people, the next time we come here should be in June, I hope General Ma can invite the chiefs of various tribes to go to Beijing by boat to pay tribute, His Majesty ordered the 24 Yamen to make a flag to reward them."
