The tall and powerful new warships set off from the East China Sea Fleet base on the north bank of the Yangtze River and followed the current of the Yangtze River toward Jingzhou City on the other side.
On the turbulent Yangtze River, dozens of white sails were raised. Soldiers in armor stood neatly on both sides of the bow. There were fishermen fishing on boats and passing merchant ships on the river. They all moved away from the scene.
At this time, the ecological environment of China was very beautiful. Groups of finless porpoises looked at these warships, which were much larger than them, and circled around them curiously.
what is this?
Why is it so much bigger than us?
I sent it an ultrasound and got no response?
Is it delicious?
Can you eat it?
Just know how to eat?
I really want to try it~!
Be careful of this big guy eating you, let’s go catch fish together~!
Great~!
After the discussion was over, the finless porpoises located a group of saury fish and chased them.
The swordfish group looked at the large circle of fools and chased them, and began to speed away.
After chasing and running, he quickly disappeared from the sight of the warship.
Qingfeng lived here for a while and Li Mingda gave them basic information about the finless porpoise. Gan Ning, Zhang Fei, and Pang Tong all lived here, and no one asked.
Only some of the Qianniu Guards, Jinyi Guards, and soldiers brought from the north for the first time were so curious that they asked the soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet around them.
"Dude, what is this?"
"finless porpoise"
"Can you eat it?"
"Yes, but His Majesty once said not to eat it."
"Oh, why?"
"Not sure"
"..."
Well, the foodies are disappointed. Your Majesty won't let you eat them. Could it be that these are spiritual beasts or their descendants?
Maybe, our Majesty is the reincarnation of a god, and if you are not allowed to eat it, there is a reason why you are not allowed to eat it.
However, Li Mingda is not a superstitious guy like Li Shimin. After taking office, he directly abolished the decree that people are not allowed to eat carp.
Wei Zheng and several others once asked Li Mingda why. Li Mingda told them that the legend of carps transforming into dragons can be believed, but being eaten means that they have not become dragons and soar beyond the nine heavens in their lives. This is normal. disuse.
In addition, Li Mingda also gave the scrupulous people a buffer space: if you feel there is a taboo, you can call carp a scale fish, but the Tang Dynasty officials must still use carp to call it, and it must be recorded.
He also issued a decree to release a group of people who had been imprisoned for fishing and eating carp over the years. Of course, not all of them were released. If the other party had a criminal record or was a gangster, other arrangements would be made.
Li Mingda's favorite place for them to go is the mines in various places. More mining will contribute to Datang's industrial revolution, which is also a kind of compensation for the food grain people they have harmed over the years.
The 100,000 monks and nuns arrested in the past few years have worked very well in various places. Li Mingda is not crazy enough to squeeze them to the extreme. Those who deserve wages will be given the resettlement they deserve. Although it has increased a lot of costs, for their The value created is what it should be, and I am not one of those black-hearted capitalists who try every means to squeeze out the value of workers while also trying to deduct their wages.
The army followed the flow of the Yangtze River and soon arrived at the foot of Jingzhou City.
Jingzhou is also known as Jiangling. The Jiangling in the ancient famous saying "A thousand miles of Jiangling returns in a day" is one of them. It was just an important town at first. Later, it was changed in individual dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, it became Jingzhou.
"When Yu conquered the nine states, Jingzhou emerged." Jingzhou has a history of more than 3,000 years. Since the Chu State established its capital in Ji Nancheng in 689 BC, 6 dynasties and 34 emperors subsequently established their capitals in Jingzhou.
It has been an important town in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and it has been a battleground for military strategists of all ages. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not have come up with the idea to let Liu Bei borrow Jingzhou and shamelessly refused to return it, and asked Guan Erye to guard it again. The result was that he had no calculation. Unexpectedly, the second master's character turned into a big pit in the end.
Not only did he directly quarrel with the state of Wu, but he also dared to take most of the soldiers to attack Xiangfan. In addition, Lu Meng pretended to be ill and asked Lu Xun to take over the military affairs. Guan Erye looked down on him and thought Lu Xun was young and forgot about the generals who had fought for many years. You are worried that I have deceived you.
In fact, the main reason is that the generals are not in harmony, and the second master is too arrogant, and he has a problem with Mi Fang, the guard of Jiangling, an important town in Jingzhou, and Shiren, the police guard.
If the second master of Jingzhou had not taken most of the soldiers out and just stayed at home to guard the high ground, everyone would have died.
Jingzhou City has been operated by successive dynasties for many years. It has as many military facilities, schools, barracks, water fortresses, shipyards and supporting arsenals as Chang'an City in Luoyang. It is also a major economic development city in the Jiangnan region.
During the period of Emperor Sui Yang and the Tang Dynasty's emphasis on Jingzhou City over the years, it developed even better.
Pang Tong, Qingfeng, Gan Ning, and Zhang Fei arrived in a warship at the water village outside Jingzhou City. After being identified, they sailed into the water village.
The army then disembarked, took over the people in the water village, pulled out a list, arrested the people involved in the water village on the spot, and began to march towards the city.
The arrival of the four men with troops naturally attracted the attention of the moths who were already worried. They immediately dispatched personnel to investigate the news.
In their hearts, they prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless them through this crisis, but they forgot one thing. Now the people of Tang Dynasty all know that the greatest god handles government affairs in the palace of Chang'an City.
What are you praying for, who the hell dares to bless you~!
Zhang Fei was left behind to garrison the water village and continued to receive the troops from Shuijun, Pang Tong, Qingfeng, and Gan Ning who entered Jingzhou City. Without having time to appreciate the prosperity of this thousand-year-old city, the three of them said goodbye to each other.
Pang Tong: "Miss Qingfeng is about to succeed, Lao Gantou must not let those maggots escape~!"
Qingfeng: "Thank you, military advisor."
Gan Ning twisted his lips: "Old Pang, you are not kind. You call me a girl. What do you call me? I'm only 18, okay?"
Pang Tong ignored Gan Ning's complaints and teased him: "Eighteen years ago, I would have been eighteen years ago. Let's go and catch them. I will ask the lord for Baijiang and Zuimeng."
As soon as Gan Ning heard that there was wine, he immediately became energetic and patted his chest to confirm: "I'm old Gan. I promise to kill all these maggots. Let's go first."
Gan Ning happily led his troops to catch his target.
Qingfeng raised his hands to Pang Tong and praised him: "The military advisor is good at what he does. A few jars of fine wine can make a general work so hard. I admire him."
Pang Tong blushed: "There, there, the main reason is that girls don't drink. I don't know how tempting this drunken dream is in the hearts of us drunkards."
Qingfeng: "That's right. I don't want to waste time here. I'll take the first step."
Pang Tong: "Waiting for the good news from the girl"
Qingfeng and Pang Tong separated, and Pang Tong led his troops directly to the residence of the largest official in Jingzhou City, where the governor's office took over important military and political affairs.
Qingfeng led a large team of troops directly to the Jinyiwei Qianhu Station in Jingzhou City. In order to catch them all, Qingfeng deliberately issued a meeting notice in advance before arriving, so that all Jinyiwei officials in the entire Jingzhou City, big and small, would be present.
When Qingfeng led a large group of troops directly into the Qianhu Institute and took over the power inside and outside the Qianhu Institute, those guys with ulterior motives finally came to their senses.
