Huan Wen did not stay in Yangkou for too long.

When the princess's family ordered Liu Miao to carry fifty Jingfuyuan tribes to unload all the goods, he brought a thousand soldiers and five hundred soldiers from the right cavalry guards on board the ship and set sail on the 23rd

Set off and head west.

It seems that because of the flood season, the Yangshui River is slightly turbid and has a little yellowish color.

Don’t underestimate the turbid river water. Without them, the underwater delta would not appear, and there would be no chance that the delta would rise year by year and gradually reveal its surface to form land.

Yunmengze can fade away little by little, forming many lands, and these rivers carrying a large amount of silt and sand make an indelible contribution.

Huan Wen came outside the cabin to get some air.

Seeing him coming out, the boatmen were excited. At this moment, the boat was walking to a bend, and the water flow was still a little fast.

The boatmen were either calm or tried their best to adjust their course. Under their operation, the hull only tilted slightly and continued to move forward steadily.

A gust of south wind blew from the river bank, mixed with a few traces of rice fragrance.

Huan Wen's nose moved slightly, and when he looked around, he saw a big banner appearing in the south with the words "Sima".

Hum? Sima?

The ship continued to move forward, and soon there was another "Sima" banner. Some people with disheveled hair were lying in front of their own straw huts, carefully cooking corn porridge.

Some warriors with a knife and a bow stood on the high ground, wiping their sweat while watching the people below.

The mud on the river bank was trampled to death, and some Qiang people who had eaten were not sure about Huan Wen.

But it looked like Yiyi was holding simple wooden farm tools and thrusting the soil on the river bank. Perhaps it was too hot, and they almost took off their clothes, with only calves as collar cloth under their straddle, and their bodies were full of slimming.

It was mud, and his face was numb.

Swamps, woods, rivers, smoke from cooking stoves, farmers and the fog that swelled up together form this slightly poetic and cruel painting.

On the 25th, the fleet was moored near Huarong County and rested here for two days.

I can't rest and get on, because the 500 Luoyang children who came with the boat were not very comfortable.

The weather is too hot and I am stuffed in the cabin all day long. The surrounding environment is so unfriendly that many people have fallen ill.

Huan Wen is okay. Although he is from the north, he is good at Jiangnan, and his adaptability seems to be much better than these people.

But his troops transporters were also sick. After all, a considerable number of them were his old subordinates recruited in Qinzhou and Hezhou. They were used to the cool and dry climate there, even if they had the experience of adapting to the transitional area of ​​Xiangyang.

, but it's still very difficult.

All sick people were roughly divided into two, and those with milder symptoms seemed to be concentrated on some ships, while those with more serious symptoms were concentrated on others.

Honestly, it's a bit cruel, but this is already the most "gentle" way to deal with it, one by one, a great era of navigation,

The sick crew is highly likely to be thrown into the sea because the captain wants to ensure that others are in a healthy state.

After arriving in Huarong County, the patient was placed on the spot and then went to Jiangling after he recovered.

Huan Wen looked at the city.

The traces of the last war are still clearly visible, and you can even find broken arrows and spears in the wilderness near the city.

The city is in dilapidated, and the damaged parts during the siege have not been repaired.

Huarong City does not even have a serious defender. The new county magistrate can only ask grandpa to sue his grandmother and ask local wealthy families to take turns to help defend. After all, this place was considered an important town during the Eastern Wu period, and its development level was good, and it still had some basic foundation.

of.

The owner of the Hu family’s manor in Huarong City has been changed.

The Hu family is considered the largest wealthy family in the local area, and suffered a heavy blow due to a mistake in choice. In addition to a few children who have moved to Wuchang and Jianye, the family was almost destroyed. Even the manor changed hands for more than 600 hectares of fertile fields that had been planted for many years.

It was distributed to the four families of Wang, Yu, Pei and Yang, and there was enough open space around it, so the four families could fully expand their land reclamation and expansion.

They have sent people to take over, and they have been managing fertile land for many years, ready-made farm tools and farmers, and can generate profits from the first day of taking over. Who doesn’t like it?

Also divided were the fields of Huang clans of Jiangxia and Zhang clans.

The former was slightly larger and was rewarded to Wang Que'er, Jin Zheng and Hou Feihu, while the latter was slightly smaller and was given to Li Chong and Shao Shen. They could also expand into the surrounding swamps without restrictions.

In terms of these rewards, the emperor was still very generous, and those who followed him to conquer the world received continuous benefits.

The emperor was also serious about the cultivation of the Nansan County, using all kinds of means, trying every means to let more people enter the wilderness and slowly change the environment.

This may be one of the things the emperor values ​​most in the second half of his life.

*******

On the 27th, the fleet arrived in Jiangling and entered the Shuicheng in the east of the city.

In fact, there is water but no city.

After Huan Wen went to the shore, he looked around and found that many ships were moored on the lake and poured a ship of yellow mud into the water. Occasionally, stones of different sizes were pulled up and filled into the shallows under the water.

Scaling it a little bit and raising it.

Some of the city walls have indeed been built, mainly located on the land east of the city.

Jiangling East City even opened a water gate, and ships anchored in the water city in the future can enter Jiangling City through this gate.

Correspondingly, the river channel also needs to be dredged and excavated. Overall, it is a major labor service, which requires the use of many people and requires a lot of money and food.

Shao Shen, the governor of the water and land of the six counties, was outside the east gate. After seeing Huan Wen, he nodded slightly.

Huan Wen stepped forward and bowed, saying, "See the Governor."

Shao Shen then reached out and bowed, saying, "Yuanzi, have the soldiers brought them?"

After saying that, he pointed to the young men who were getting off the boat not far away.

"That's right, there are 420 people in total, all of them are here." Huan Wen said, "There are dozens of people who are not good at traveling, so they are temporarily stuck in Huarong."

Shao Shen nodded and said no more.

However, just as he turned around and left, he hesitated and asked, "Have you ever asked you to bring a message to the Xiangyang Le Envoy?

,"

"No."

Shao Shen nodded and went back to the city directly.

"Yuanzi." Deng Yue, who was originally standing behind Shao Shen, walked over and took the gift close to him.

He and Huan Wen met several times in Xiangyang.

When Huan Wen saw it, he said strangely: "I went back to Luoyang. I didn't see you again, but I didn't want to come to Jiangling."

"I got the position of Jiangling Order." Deng Yue said: "Now, the main levy for the Prince of Julu is to collect food and grass, and the population is

Money and silk are needed for the recruitment and training of the navy."

"Oh? Where is the water army?" Huan Wen looked at the water city and asked.

"I've gone to the river to teach martial arts." Deng Yue said, "You can't practice hiding in the water city."

"How is it? The navy suffered heavy losses a few months ago." Huan Wen said.

"Duke Yang transferred all the navy troops in Heyang and Shahai, and recruited some people. Now there are about dozens of warships and 6,000 soldiers." Deng Yue said: "In July, Baling

Two boats ran over there, mostly from the children of the Shen family in Wuxing, and came with dozens of people. Yang Du tried their skills and was very happy and all were granted official positions."

"The Shen family's children are at a good time." Huan Wen sighed.

In this world, generally speaking, promotion is relatively slow, but there are several special situations that can directly transform from a state of being penniless to an official who can shout and shout, and the formation of a navy army is just the foundation.

"Shen's family ran away, and Zhuge Daoming didn't pursue it, but just took it seriously." Deng Yue said: "In this situation in the south, I think Wuchang, Xiakou will be thrown away sooner or later. I felt that I had relied on Xiangyang Jiancheng and Jiangling.

The important towns and the warlike navy can stop the Daliang King's Army. Now it seems one by one."

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "Wuchang is hard to be protected by the serene and martial arts. Now he is a child of the Shen family, and in the future he will be the real Jingzhou navy."

"Can you know what happened to Badong in Boshan?" Huan Wen asked again.

"What? Yuanzi, do you want to go?" Deng Yue smiled and looked at him, and said, "You can't go. Prince Julu doesn't want anything to happen to his sister-in-law."

Huan Wen was helpless.

Some things are really hard to speak to outsiders. He even doubts that he will make a contribution and then be promoted in the future.

Outsiders will also say that he relies on the princess.

He is destined to be unable to get rid of these rumors in his life.

"Actually, I want to go, but I don't have a chance." Deng Yue said again: "The Prince of Julu doesn't want me to take my troops to Badong. Maybe he is worried that the old story of the Shouchun Ancestors and the young masters will be repeated."

Huan Wen understood what he meant.

There were thousands of soldiers who surrendered to the two cities of Xiangfan. As far as he knew, they have now been divided into several parts, in Jingling.

The four places of Nanjun, Xiangyang and Jiangxia were settled.

Because most of the soldiers' families are in Wuchang, it is difficult for these people to gain trust. The court is worried that they will defect like Zu Yue tribe, so they would rather not.

After all, the Prince of Julu may be really worried that once Xiangyang surrendered troops to Badong, he would directly make trouble, tie down Deng Yue, mother Qiu Ao and others, and report to Wuchang, asking the navy to come and pick him up. To be honest, it may be

The sex is still very good.
