Jinling City Wharf.

Huo Wu brought everyone in Jinling to the dock to see off guests.

Yesterday, Mazhai hosted the "Xiqin Wine" and Ma Juzi's wedding came to an end. Today, guests from all over the country will leave Jinling and return to various places.

If you want to say that the guests attending the wedding in these three places brought congratulations when they came.

Needless to say, Tu San is the one who regards the Ma Village Master as his best friend, and what he prepares are really useful items, twenty carts of cloth.

This can be used as money.

Yuan Er from Taizhou relies on the mountains and the sea to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. He is rich and powerful. The gift he gave is ten boxes of pearls and ten boxes of coral. If it is converted into silver coins, he can get thousands of silver coins.

However, in Shanming, Bozhou, the wedding ceremony was given two "authorous edicts". In addition to the one that was granted the title of Duke and General, there was another one for the bride. The bride Ma Coon was the "Lord of Danyang County" and the groom Huo Hu was the "Captain Hu Ben".

Although it is not affordable, it sounds a bit more glorious.

Since the guests were well-polite, Huo Wuzi was not stingy, so he prepared a return gift.

The family gave a return gift.

There was only Tu San here, because there was news about Tu Tiedan, there was an extra gift, which was considered a gift prepared by his uncle for his nephew in advance.

On the river surface, the boat was on standby. Tu San and Shanming and their group bid farewell to the people of Jinling and boarded the boat to cross the river.

Seeing the huge tower ship gradually moving away and looking at the patrolling warships vaguely visible on the river, Yuan Er, Xie Xian and others were secretly shocked.

The Bozhou army not only had infantry but also navy troops, with such strength, entrenched in important places in Jinling.

They also saw the brand new walls of Jinling City with their own eyes.

Once the gap in the city wall is closed, Jinling becomes a strong city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It would be fine if the Chuzhou army only stood in Jinling, but...

If the Chuzhou army goes south, can the Taizhou army stop it?

With worries, the Taizhou army members did not take the water and left by land, so they said goodbye.

When he couldn't see the people from Jinling, Yuan Wu couldn't wait to take the gift box: "Huh? What is this?"

The gift box is not small, two feet long and one foot wide.

There are not gold, silver and jade inside, but two cloth pockets and two sheets of paper.

Yuan Er and Xie Xian both looked over.

Yuan Wu had already opened a pocket: "It smells so good!"

Yuan Er and Xie Xian looked at each other and his face changed drastically.

They were lingering in Jinling for several days. In addition to congratulating the Taizhou Army, they expressed their close intentions to form alliances on behalf of the Taizhou Army, but more were inquiring about the strength of the Chuzhou Army.

After inquiring about it, they witnessed with their own eyes that Jinling was standing up and down to receive the "authority", and they changed their idea of ​​going north to Bozhou.

The battle flag of Chuzhou Army said "Chu", but it was nominally belonged to Bozhou.

Chuzhou Army has its own system.

Before, they expressed their "alliance", but they did not have much sincerity, but more of them were exploring.

This time I didn't dare to deal with it accidentally.

The "military ration" of the Chuzhou Army is one of the achievements they have discovered in the past few days.

Convenient porridge and instant noodles are also suitable for Taizhou army.

In order to get the sample, they also spent hundreds of taels of silver to go out.

As a result, this is the "return gift" today.

"Is this a warning?"

Yuan Er frowned.

Xie Xian touched his beard and pondered silently.

The Chuzhou Army is even tougher than I thought, so...

If you really want to form an alliance, I don’t know whether it’s good or bad…

Thinking of this, Xie Xian picked up the two pieces of paper and paused.

Two thin sheets of paper are two ways to make military rations.

Xie Xian's expression is complicated.

What does Chuzhou Army mean?

Warning and showing goodwill?

...

On the stairs, bow cabin.

Shanming opened the gift box and looked at the two pockets and two pieces of paper inside, and was speechless for a while.

This is the recipe for military rations.

The soldiers of the Chuzhou Army have eaten rice and noodles?

What they saw and heard in the past few days was the strength and wealth of the Chuzhou Army, but they did not expect to be so rich.

Bozhou first experienced drought and harvest, and then the imperial court suppressed the rebels and swept the people, fled, and a lot of farmland was abandoned. Now the soldiers can only have a full grain of 50% of the coarse grain.

Bozhou used to buy grain from the Chu army, but now...

It can only be said that smart people are thinking too much.

Nowadays, the food is expensive, so where are there so many rice and wheat?

Most of the military rations of Chuzhou Army are made of mixed rice and mixed noodles, pure rice and fine noodles.

Today is a "return gift", and you always have to reveal the beautiful and neat, which has led to Shanming's misunderstanding.

What does Jinling mean?

Is this the intention of selling grain?

As for the free time, Shanming did not send that daydream.

What does a false name have?

The Chuzhou Army sent envoys to Bozhou last time, and was respectful and polite.

But this time I saw him, I had an ordinary attitude.

As for the "Imperial Issue", we also stand by.

This must be annoying.

Thinking of the title in September, Huo Wu occupied two states, which were "Guardian of Chuzhou and Hezhou"; Liu Sheng only had one county left, but he was given the "Master of Huainan".

How can people convince themselves if they are so generous to one and the other?

Fortunately, I didn't make any fools this time, so I made tricks on the title ban. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Jinling people to refuse to accept the orders with their attitude towards Bozhou.

...

In the cabin next door, Tu San also opened the gift box.

After reading the two pockets, he sighed three times.

This is a good thing and a good help for them when they march.

The benefit was that Tu San met in person in Chushan, and Zheng Ji and the others also talked about it several times.

I have also accepted my brother-in-law's favor.

...

As the guests left, Jinling City suddenly became quiet.

The army did not set off again.

The conscription in Taiping Prefecture and Jinling Prefecture has come to an end.

Fifty thousand new recruits entered the Jinling camp.

The conscription in Zhenjiang Prefecture is also slowly unfolding.

Six weaving factories, thousands of skilled weavers work in three shifts to sew cotton coats.

Cheng Ding, a six counties in Jinling Prefecture, who were 45 to 60 years old, all began to take turns to take charge of the Ding service and repair the roads.

The Navy's garrison and the Firearms Battalion began to take shape.

...

Taiwei's Mansion, lobby.

Huo Wu, the leader of the village, Xue Biao, Du Laoba, Feng Monk, Shui Jin, Yu Dutong, and Master Lin and Huo Bao.

Master Lin rushed back on October 26th.
