Beiyang new warlord

"The Spring Festival, let's begin!"

As Mao Jue raised his arms high, cheers like the tide shook the sky again.

The status of Yizhou at this time really replaced Liaoyang in the past. Because of Mao Jue's open policy, the goods from the north and the south meet here again. Because of the Spring Festival, the entire Yizhou City Mao Jue announced that it will be open for seven days, and the doors will not be closed at night. If you set up a stall at will, the urban management will not drive it away.For the villagers of Tieyi Town, it has really become a gluttonous feast. From the beginning of the New Year's Eve, people from ten miles and eight villages come to the market with their things and money. There are all kinds of weird snacks in the market It is also endless, rushing to temple fairs, shopping in flower streets, even if you don’t buy anything, it is also a joy to join in the fun.

Moreover, since Mao Jue's lecture, the relationship between the Tieyi people seems to have improved a lot. These survivors who fled from all directions seem to have found a little sense of identity with the township party similar to the great clan in the south of the Yangtze River. The separatist side of Dongjiang Town constitutes the foundation, and everyone who introduces themselves is our Tieyi people!

But the instigator of all this has been hiding comfortably since the first day of the Lunar New Year.

"Oh~comfortable~"

With his upper body exposed, Mao Jue couldn't help shivering, and then let out a long breath. The warmth and warmth almost stretched his cerebral cortex.

The officer's club was built here, the biggest reason is that there are hot springs here, the cement is built into the spring pool, and then it is paved with tiles. Soaking in this sulfur-smelling hot water in winter is simply the ultimate enjoyment in life. Juelian Adelaine's menstruation came, so much so that he forgot his depression about the bankruptcy of his romantic plan in the last few days of Chongzhen's five years after abandoning his virginity.

Following him, there was also a clatter, and when he glanced over, Mao Jue's eyes straightened.

It seems to be the first time that he and Mao Wenlong have "meet each other honestly". What shocked Mao Jue was the scars on the old man's body, the marks of the fire, the bruises left by the blunt instrument, the scars of the knife, and the arrows pulled out. Going to the pits left, there are hardly any good places on his body that are not marked.

It is said that one will be successful! But it also requires you to pay unimaginable pain and tenacity. Under the Dalinghe City, Mao Jue was shot like a hedgehog. He thought he was a tough guy, but he was the same as Mao Wenlong Than, he is really too childish!

"Look at what?"

Even if his son was stared at intently by a big man, Mao Wenlong felt uncomfortable, his beard trembled, and he scolded him angrily.

"Ah? It's nothing! I was so anxious that a big man said that scars are the honor of a man's medal! Dad, you are a man!"

"Hmph, I wish there were fewer of these things!"

Disdainfully cocked his beard and squinted his eyes to take a bath, but it could be seen that Mao Jue's flattery was very useful to the old man.

"By the way, what have you guys been doing in the north recently? Damn it, even that bastard Kong Youde didn't tell me!"

Mentioning this, Mao Wenlong was obviously a little bit aggrieved. Kong Youde was picked up by him, and he had been with Mao Jue for more than a year, and he actually betrayed him. No wonder the old guy was unhappy.

But when it came to this, Mao Jue seemed guilty and wiped his face with a towel.

"Oh, it's nothing, a few bandits raid Tuntianzhuang, they think I can't catch them if they hide on the mountain, old man, let's show them some color!"

He didn't dare to say that he occupied a county in the Li Dynasty, and he planned to annex more. Mao Jue was really afraid that his old man would push him into the water to kill his relatives righteously and eliminate harm for the Ming Dynasty.

This matter is not too much, Mao Wenlong casually mentioned something, and then narrowed his eyes again, but after a while, his next sentence almost made Mao Jue jump up.

"After the festival, you hand over the military affairs to Kong Youde and Wen Meng, clean up!"

"why?"

Has this old man committed menopause?You supported yourself two days ago, but now you want to have another pot?Seeing Mao Jue's shocked appearance, Mao Wenlong opened his dim old eyes angrily, and yelled.

"Look at you, there is no city mansion at all! How will you lead this Dongjiang in the future!"

Without making him guess, Mao Wenlong went on to talk about the second thing that made Mao Jue vomit blood.

"Last month, I signed up for a job offer and I asked you for a three-month leave. Our Mao family still has one in Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture. I was born there. I was adopted by Uncle Liaoyang's family. Now the ancestral grave in Liaoyang is gone. I'm too old, it's time to go back and pay homage to the ancestral tombs and enter the clan register!"

"There I even booked you a marriage!"

"father!"

With such an old face, Mao Jue almost cried.

"Why don't you discuss with me about such a big matter!"

Chapter 164. Engagement

"Arguing with you? Negotiating shit! Parents' order, matchmaker's words! Is your child interfering?"

It’s really a typical patriarch in the feudal era. If his father said this to him before time travel, Mao Jue would be very happy. After being single for more than 20 years, he is already hungry, but now, with Su Yi and Adelaine One middle school, one foreign, two top-quality girls, the blessings of the same people are enough, Mao Jue is really not interested in any lady who has never masked, even fat or thin, what if it is a big buck tooth, pockmarked face?

Even if she is beautiful and born in a civil servant's scholarly family, she has many rules and good intentions! The Shen family is an example of those who marry and don't care about this or that! What Mao Jue wants is to live as he pleases, and he doesn't want to come here. The legend of Zhen Huan in the harem who cried, made trouble and hanged herself three times.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's head resting on the cork back with disdain, Mao Jue spread his hands in an extremely sad way.

"Father! The child is still young. Didn't Huo Qubing say that why the Xiongnu are not at home? Besides, isn't Suyi very good?"

"Don't talk about it! There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the biggest! Back then, your father and I suffered this! You are such a bastard! Then you died in the heavy snow in the Battle of Jinzhou!"

"It's a good thing you've managed to gain some momentum in the past two years. Otherwise, if you thought Shen Shikui and Chen Jisheng were so honest, you would have had other thoughts! Your single seedling is too dangerous. You must give me an early warning. Give birth to a grandson!"

The spray was too fast, and the old man slapped the water splash. After a sigh of relief, Mao Wenlong continued to gesture leisurely.

"Su Yi is a good girl, but her background is too low. Our Mao family is a family of officials. She can't be a concubine, but the main room has to be looked down upon. Besides, why do officials have to open their mouths twice? Mutual, this lady is your uncle Shen Guangzuo, Mr. Shen, who found it for you with great difficulty. Her grandfather is Mr. Chen Zanhua, who was assigned to the criminal department. Come out, marry her, and your future official career will be much easier!"

Mao Jue really didn't realize that Mao Wenlong, who is not angry and arrogant, actually has the talent of being both a father and a mother. He scratched his fingers, and the old man gave him a detailed analysis of everything. Before he could continue to speak, Mao Wenlong simply crossed his arms, leaned his head up again, closed his eyes, and slapped the board domineeringly.

"It's settled like this! You should pack up quickly these few days, and after the [-]th day, you will go south for me!"

If I say one more word, I'm afraid I will be whipped, so I put the towel on my shoulders, so Mao Jue had to keep his mouth shut.

Anyway, he is not poor now, at most one more mouth will not be enough to feed him. If that young lady of the Chen family has a face with big buck teeth, she will buy a house in the south of the Yangtze River and put people there. Don't bother me.

It is very pleasant to take a warm bath in the winter. Since the officer's club was built and it has not yet opened, generals from Dongjiang, large and small, have come here especially. There are a total of sixty rooms on three floors, and most of them live in There are many people, the hot spring pool at the back is full every day, and a row of entertainment rooms are full of people. Phi Island is a bitter place. It has been many years, and this kind of enjoyment is really unprecedented.

"One hundred thousand habits, confused, haha!"

From far away, one could hear Wen Meng's excited yelling, this guy is an old gambler, Mao Jue has kept him in the barracks all day for the past two years, and he can only sneak around while resting, and a few This year, he has become like a fish in water. Looking at the way he smashed the money and the ugly faces of the guards at the same table Li Yingyuan, Zhang Tao, and Zhao Yong, you can tell that this guy has won a lot.

Dan Wenmeng still has a place, no matter what the situation is, as long as Mao Jue calls, he will definitely leave everything behind and come over regardless, when he suddenly sees Mao Jue slightly waving his hand at the door, Wen Meng immediately throws it down and catches him Half of the horse tags, turned around and was about to pass.

"Hey! Old Wen, go there!"

"That's right, winning money is like leaving!"

"I have something to do, hey, these, please brothers drink!"

More than half of the silver was shaken off casually twice, and Zhao Yong who was next to him also noticed it, and also helped him.

"It's okay, it's better if he left! You idiot! Brother, come on, let's continue playing!"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Du Si Zhao Cheng sat down at the poker table, and a group of people continued to play. Things passed like waves, and no one asked any more questions.

Mao Jue's going to the south of the Yangtze River is a big event for Tieyi Town. Without a commander in the army, it is very likely that there will be chaos. The fewer people who know about it, the better.

It's been a few days since Chinese New Year, and Mao Jue seems to have regained the life of an otaku in his previous life. This is the first time he has walked out of this hot spring valley. The weather is still cold, and the hot air from his mouth immediately turned into a puff of white smoke. , but at the parking lot, there was already a group of Tieyi soldiers standing with their guns in their hands. Seeing Mao Jue coming, the leader of the soldiers who had been dispatched from Mao Wenlong's side immediately opened the door of the four-wheeled carriage and welcomed Mao Jue up. Immediately, a group of cavalry surrounded Mao Jue and took the official road in the direction of Tieshan, with Wen Meng leading the way on horseback.

Similar to Yizhou, Tieshan is also immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. Only the guards on duty at the checkpoint stand helplessly but firmly in the observation positions of various fortresses. After all, it is still an era of war. When Mao Jue's carriage passed by , they saluted one after another.
