The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 98 Current Situation of Liaodong Peninsula
"Yongning City is ahead. We are finally home!"

On the wide deck, Qiu Ju lay on the side of the ship and saw from afar the towering city standing where the sea and sky meet. She danced with joy and her bell-like laughter calmed the impatience in the hearts of many people.

On the calm Bohai Sea, hundreds of large Fujian ships did not head to Jinzhou Port, but sailed directly to Yongning City, at a speed of lightning, just like Shen Yuanliang's mood at the moment.

It was the first time for Shen Yuanliang to be away from home for more than a month, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He missed Xixi, Wan'er, and his mother, and he wished he could grow wings and fly straight to Huya Mountain.

"Rongrong, uncle, grandpa, grandma, this is Yongning City."

After an incense stick of time, Shen Yuanliang and his party set foot on the Liaodong Peninsula. A feeling of being down to earth came over them, and the road paved with thick bluestone slabs gave people a strong sense of security.

"What a tall city! The capital is probably no more than this!"

Under the dazzling sunlight, Chen Qingwen couldn't help but sigh with his right hand on his forehead, looking at the Yongning City crawling on the ground in front of him like a giant beast from the mountains and seas.

After the Battle of Jingbian Fort, under the order of Shen Yuanliang, the already tall and majestic Yongning City was expanded again. Its circumference was over a hundred miles, and the city was thirty feet high and nine feet wide.

All the bricks are made of large bluestone mined from the mountains. They are thick and strong, and with the help of high-quality adhesives, Yongning City is now the most solid city in the Liaodong Peninsula and even in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and a team stretching for more than ten miles was walking on the avenue paved with bluestone slabs, with endless rice fields on both sides.

We set out in early August and now it is September. The rice in the rice fields is golden yellow, and each grain looks like golden pearls. The breeze blows, and the wheat waves roll. It is a scene of a good harvest.

"Cousin, what is that?"

Pulling aside the curtain, Chen Rongrong, with her hair tied in a bun, looked at the three-meter-high "big tree" outside the window, especially those golden fruits that looked like grapes.

Waves of rich and refreshing fragrance came to her face and lingered at the tip of her nose. A strong desire filled her mind. Chen Rongrong wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.

"Miss, this is the snow lotus rice that the young master has carefully cultivated. It has been planted on 50,000 acres, from here to there."

"It's golden on the outside, but when you peel off the skin, it's snow-white, just like a lychee. It tastes delicious. If you eat one, you don't need to eat for the whole day."

Hearing this, Qiuju's mouth corners slightly raised, and she pointed her white fingers at the snow lotus rice in the fertile fields and said with a smile, her tone revealing an unprecedented sense of pride.

Manipulating plants and transforming plants are the powers of the Creator. In Qiu Ju's eyes, Shen Yuanliang is no different from the gods in heaven.

"Rongrong, when we get home, eat as much as you want. Eat this for three meals a day."

Rubbing Chen Rongrong's furry head, Shen Yuanliang said happily.

Snow Lotus Rice is a tall woody grain crop that Shen Yuanliang obtained through tens of millions of experiments after using his authority as the Green Emperor to give various "entries" to rice seeds.

According to the classification of the abyss world, snow lotus rice is a first-level plant. It has a strong effect on martial artists below the sixth level of martial arts and is comparable to natural treasures.

Huya Mountain, Shen family manor.

"Dad, Mom, this is the snow lotus rice cultivated by Liang Ge'er, you guys try it!"

In the green hall, Shen Chen, who was wearing an emerald green double-breasted silk dress and a gold hairpin in her hair, greeted everyone warmly, her eyes red and filled with tears.

Today, not only did her precious son come back, but she also met her parents whom she hadn't seen for many years. Shen Chen cried with joy, and a huge stone in her heart fell quietly.

"My daughter, you have suffered so much!"

Old Madam Chen looked at the slightly thin Shen Chen in front of her, wiping her tears and said. After recognizing Shen Yuanliang, the affairs of the Shen family could not be hidden from Master Chen and Old Madam Chen. They were very sad about what happened to their daughter, but fortunately now they have finally gotten their reward.

The night was dim and the manor, which had been noisy all day, gradually became quiet. It was so deep and peaceful.

In the brightly lit study, a familiar scent of incense filled the air, and the mist was like a fairyland, with several figures reflected diagonally on the windows.

In front of the bookshelf, Shen Yuanliang took a sip of the hot tea, tapped his fingers on the mahogany table, and asked, "Nothing happened at home while I was away, right?"

"Brother Yuanliang, everything is fine at home."

"It's just that Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, was impeached and resigned a few days ago. He was replaced by another person, Yuan Yingtai."

Li Wan'er, who was wearing a pearl hairpin and a pink silk dress, said solemnly, stroking her hair in front of her chest.

Xiong Tingbi, Li Wan'er and others were more familiar with the former Liaodong governor. Now that the court has a new person, they don't know Yuan Yingtai's character and conduct, so it is difficult for them to judge his next move.

It is the autumn harvest season now, and the rice in the fields should be harvested in ten days or half a month. If a war really breaks out, the situation will be very unfavorable to the Shen family.

"Don't worry, Yuan Yingtai doesn't have time to deal with us."

Looking in the direction of the Forbidden City, Shen Yuanliang said in a deep voice.

If history had not changed, Emperor Wanli should have passed away in mid-August, which would have been the time when the new emperor ascended the throne and power was transferred.

In the court, the Zhejiang Party, Donglin Party, Eunuch Party and others were all fighting for power. Who would care about Shen Yuanliang outside the Great Wall, unless Shen Yuanliang broke through Shanhaiguan!

"Shitou, how is the training of the 100,000-man army going?"

Then Shen Yuanliang looked at the honest Shi Tou and asked solemnly.

A good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. As long as the 100,000 troops are well-trained and have the Iron Guard, Shen Yuanliang will not be afraid of any storms.

"Brother Liang, after five or six months of training, with sufficient meat and medicinal baths, all the 100,000 soldiers are now fully trained."

"As for weapons, after the blacksmiths worked day and night to forge weapons, 40,000 troops have been equipped, and there are still 60,000 troops without armor."

Scratching his head, the burly Stone, dressed in bright silver armor, said with a bitter face.

The furnace fires on Tiger Tooth Mountain burned all night long, and the hammers in the hands of four or five hundred blacksmiths were almost producing sparks. Even so, there was still a big gap in the weapons.

"Shi Tou, we brought back nine hundred craftsmen from Fuzhou this time, including five hundred blacksmiths. With their participation, we can have all our staff equipped with armor in three or four months at most."

"The grain harvest is great, and there are many people who covet it. We must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. Starting tomorrow, we will clean up the entire Liaodong Peninsula and kill all the rats."

Having said that, Shen Yuanliang narrowed his eyes, and a murderous intent spread out. Everyone who was sleeping suddenly felt a chill sweeping over them. Fortunately, this murderous intent went away quickly as it came.

"Don't worry, Liang Ge'er, none of those rats in the dark can escape."

Shi Tou pinched his palms that were making snapping sounds, twisted his neck, and said with a solemn oath.
