Lu Da and Lu Si stayed at home for five days. Seeing that the holiday time was up, the two brothers packed their luggage and returned to the team.

Unlike when they came, they each had a bag each when they left, and they were also a standard package in the army, which was used to hold miscellaneous items and robes. When they came, they were many large bags, and when they left, they were one bag each, which was quite casual.

The parents are not reluctant to leave, and the poor and small families don’t have so much emotion to say.

Lu Da became a bride on the third day of his return home. He slept with his new wife for two days and felt very reluctant to leave. When he left, the woman in northern Shaanxi, who was in her twenties, also had red eyes. She fled the famine and brought a girl three or four years old. Life was very difficult. The Lu family's yard was renovated and looked pretty, and there was a servant helping with housework. Of course, her new wife had to serve her parents-in-law and handle housework. However, compared to when she fled to famine☆wán☆☆ロba,↘.√◇. The situation was like in the sky and underground. The Lu family saved hundreds of kilograms of meat alone, and there were still thousands of kilograms of food in the wing room. The Lu brothers were soldiers, and the military and political officials who were left in Lingqiu would visit him from time to time. Lingqiu is now controlled by He Yusheng, and living in the city is also very at ease. He lived such a life, of course he couldn't bear to leave.

Lu Da looked back and finally left with great strides.

After getting on the carriage, Lu Si said: "If the eldest brother is reluctant, he can give up the outslaves, and the military department should agree."

Lu Da shook his head and said, "These two years are a good time for us to pursue our future. Speaking of Yusheng's transformation into a company, everyone said that it will definitely expand in the past few years! The grasslands in the north and Taiwan in the south are not small. They are not the wild islands we think of. There are three large Datong Prefectures and islands, with good climate, good scenery and rich production. If they are well managed there, they are also the basis for princes and princes. Everyone said that the north is the boundary of the Tartars, and Taiwan is not the boundary of the Ming Dynasty.

We will all fight. Even if Lord Zhang becomes king and emperor in the future, it will not be considered a rebellion, and the Ming Dynasty will not be in charge. We can be regarded as a dragon's merit and life will be better. Master Hongwu conquered the world, and his soldiers can be enfeoffed with hereditary families, commanded and enjoyed the blessings for generations. Now most of the hereditary military officers of the various guards in our Datong were passed down by Master Hongwu in the early years. Good life can last for hundreds of years. We will suffer some hardships now, and we will enjoy happiness when we grow old in the future, and our descendants will also enjoy happiness!"

Lu Si didn't expect that his elder brother would think about the matter so clearly, so he nodded silently and stopped persuading him.

Lu Da said again: "Your second brother is going there this time. The regiment commander Li Shouxin is your second brother's old boss, and Zhang Chunniu is going there too. This time he has a lot of familiar faces."

Lu Si said: "It's a pity that I want to stay in Lizhuang for training, so I can't go with you anymore."

The two brothers talked and said that the vehicle was speeding on the official road with snow, resting after dark, and finally arrived at Lizhuang the next morning.

Everyone had all their hands, Lu Da put down his luggage, and the two brothers went to the canteen to have dinner and parted. Lu Si went to the new recruit company of the soldiers to report, and Lu Da Ze carried his bags and rushed to the schoolyard to line up.

When Lu Si passed by, he found that more than 280 people were standing on the school ground, with more than 20 officers and sergeants. They were all standing attentive. Even if Lu Da, Zhang Chunniu and other acquaintances saw Lu Si, they could only show their eyes.

When Lu Si reported, there were already cheers on the school ground, but Zhang Han personally rushed over to see the soldiers who were going overseas. Everyone cheered and shouted. When Lu Si looked back, he saw Lu Da, who was black-faced, cheering and shouting with his chest outstretched, with a smile on his face. There were also Li Shouxin, Zhang Chunniu, and his second brother. Everyone threw the military hat in the air. I don’t know what Zhang Han said, making these people so excited. Lu Si was a little curious, but more excited. He wished he could pass the test of the recruit company immediately and join such a team.

...

"Drill ice, don't stop!"

A short officer with a red face whipped heavily in the air with a whip. The crowd that could not see the end seemed to be shocked. The chisels and other objects in his hand became more and more anxious. Ice debris were sprayed everywhere, and soon the sound of horns came. The ice cubes were chiseled very close to the island. Then people used long poles to work together, hundreds or thousands of people exerted their efforts to push the large cubes away.

Cheng Fang had seen this situation many times, but it was not strange. However, this was the first time that Li Shouxin and Lu Dafu and other officers saw it, and they looked at it with novelty.

Li Shouxin said: "Brother Cheng, what are you doing?"

Although Cheng Fang is a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he is nominally the director of a newly established company in Liaodong and has no military position.

Cheng Fang is of the same identity as Liu Ji and has a good position in the entire Heyusheng system. Li Shouxin is very polite to him. One is to respect Cheng Fang's courage and courage to save refugees alone in Shisan Mountains, and the other is to respect Cheng Fang's status.

Cheng Fang replied: "Every time it is deep winter, the sea will freeze. Pi Island is the estuary of the river. It is too close to the shore, so you can only drill ice to prevent it."

Li Shouxin nodded and said, "So that's it."

Lu Dafu said in confusion: "Building a fort along the border, setting up cannons and guns is not stronger than digging ice like this?"

Cheng Fang smiled and said, "This place is different from where we and Yusheng are. There are too many people, too chaotic institutions, too few elite soldiers, insufficient food and salary, and low morale. It is good to maintain it. There is no hope of going ashore to counterattack. At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of Han people in Yizhou and Tieshan. General Mao sent the Dushi to lead elite troops to guard the two places, and sent troops to garrison in Kuandian. This is also considered to be a recovery of many lost land. In fact, Pidao is no longer too dangerous, and it is just a practice to chisel ice."

Li Shouxin said: "General Mao started with the Zhenjiang victory, and now Zhenjiang is in the enemy again?"

Cheng Fang said: "When the Eastern Barbarians fought back, Zhenjiang was slaughtered, and General Mao was almost spared. Later, the enemy cavalry took revenge, and the four guards in southern Liaoning were slaughtered more than 300,000 people, with corpses everywhere, which was terrible."

"Oh." Li Shouxin said: "At the same time, because the Northern Barbarians are no longer in trouble, we really never thought that Liaodong is so miserable. No wonder Zhou Yao traveled all the way to our Datong. It is hard for us to imagine the suffering of the border troops and the people."

Cheng Fang said in a deep voice: "It has been nearly four years since the founding of the country, and the attack on Fushun Pass. Nearly one million people in Liaodong and border troops died in war. Just below the general, hundreds of military officers above the Dushi have died. Among the civil servants, Yuan Yingtai, the inspector Zhang Quan and others have also died in death for more than a hundred people. The rest of the Juren and other students have reached ordinary people. The dead are unknown, from the elderly to the octogenarians to the young children. I really can't bear to say in detail the miserable situation."

Li Shouxin and others looked calm and determined. They set off from Lizhuang a few years ago and arrived in Tianjin for more than ten days. From Tianjin Port, they took their own ship to Liaodong. In order to make them feel the situation in Liaodong intuitively, the ship did not go directly to Pi Island, but went south from the north. Throughout the journey, the dilapidated scenes along the coast made them thrilling... Although Datong is a border town, the Beilu have been weak for a long time. The damage and cruel scenes brought by this war were almost forgotten by the border troops and military descendants of Datong Town.

The war with the Beilu always led the Beilu's nose, and the soldiers' sacrifices were limited. Zhang Han and the Military Office believed that the soldiers had not received real training and beating. They may have made progress in technical and tactical progress, but in terms of will and the understanding of the cruelty of the war, it is still necessary to make up for a lesson.

After everyone got off the boat, a general wearing a fourth-rank military officer's robe came to greet him. Cheng Fang introduced: "This is Mao Youjun, the general's grandson."

Li Shouxin and others came from the Junjun Town, and they were also very clear about the grandchildren system brought by the Ming army generals. However, they did not expect that Mao Wenlong had a grandchild on the island. Mao Youjun looked in his thirties and was a grandchild for Mao Wenlong. He was calm when Cheng Fang introduced him. It seemed that such things were not uncommon on the island.

Mao Youjun was very proud and said, "Come on, are you here to collect wood? If so, you don't have to see Mao Shuai. Please give me a note and go directly to Kuandian and Tieshan areas to see."

Since Chang Wei arrived in Taiwan, the matter of cutting down large trees agreed by Zhang Han and Mao Wenlong officially began. Fortunately, Mao Wenlong had already established a firm foothold on Pi Island at this time. In addition to the original dozens of islands, Yizhou and Tieshan were also under the control of Dongjiang Town. This area was originally rarely inhabited by Kuandian. The Han people lived in the South Four Guards to Liaozhong and Liaodong. The Kuandian area was originally developed into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but was later abandoned by Li Chengliang. The Kuandian Liubao controlled hundreds of miles of land with primeval forests. Later, it was occupied by the Jurchen Dong E tribe. Then the Dong E tribe and the Jianzhou tribe merged, and the Kuandian area became the territory of the Jianzhou tribe. Sarhu

At that time, the famous general Liu Ying sent out from Kuandian and traveled all the way through mountains and dense forests. Some places were dangerous and difficult to move, which seriously affected the army's operations and arrival on the battlefield. Because the Jurchen side knew that Kuandian was difficult to move, the journey was the last fight. The Jurchens chose a mountain and defeated more than 20,000 Ming and Korean coalition forces in one battle. The Ming army was destroyed, and even the general was killed in battle. The Koreans chose to surrender. A few years later, the Dongjiang Army reappeared in Kuandian. By the second year of the Tianqi, the figures of Heyusheng soldiers from Datong also appeared in Kuandian and began to cut down the first batch of big trees.

Mao Youjun said again: "Didn't you cut down thousands of big trees last time? That's not enough?"

Cheng Fang smiled and shook his head first, then stuffed a small bag into Mao Youjun's arms, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mao Dusi had just taken a concubine in a room. There are some heads and faces here, so it's best to use it to coax the concubine."

Mao Youjun took a look and saw that it was a full set of gold jewelry heads, weighing more than twenty taels. Although it was not very expensive, this kind of thing was still rare on this very deserted island.

Generally, generals have to send people to Dengzhou to buy this thing. Dengzhou is just a small town. Not to mention the prosperous place, it is not as good as the capital, even the cities in Shandong such as Dezhou, Jinan, Linqing, etc. Chengfang is very exquisite at first glance, and it is a fun brought from the capital store.
