Cheng Dayi had never seen such a strong armed army of the Ming Dynasty.

The Baihu leading the way in front of him was a lame man with a terrifying scar on his face, wearing a phoenix-winged iron helmet with a three-pointed red tassel, small helmet and gun. The armor on his body was different from the breastplate common to the Nanyang Banner Army. The entire breastplate was divided into three large decks, connected by chain mail in the middle, which did not affect movement. It was protected from the neck to the knees. Through the gaps in the mail of the arm, you could see that the armor was wearing beige cotton coat.

Outside the armor, the hundred-family wore a blue round neckline with sleeveless burqa over the waist, and the lower body was also a blue skirt with two petals to the calf. The chest and thighs of the blue coat were embroidered with round bear skin, red satin tied with waist, and a strong body and thick armor made the person bulge. In addition, the lame right leg was supporting the long gun with a good gun, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking through the rotten woodland.

It is worth mentioning that not only was the blue burqa painted with a bear, but he also held a young bear with a blue fur that was so bright that it was so bright that it was so bright that it was so cute that it was a leather helmet crooked on its head, and a small yellow flag was inserted into the helmet and gun, and the words "Huangming" were written on the flag.

"There hasn't been to Majiagang yet, and I can't see the people of my tribute. How did you find this?"

Baihu walked forward and said without looking back. Although his right leg was limp, he held a long gun with one hand and held a knife with the other hand to lead the bear to walk slowly. He only leaned the bird gun beside him when he noticed that Cheng Dawei had not followed, and pointed to the little creature jumping by the towering tree with pine cones and said, "Squirrel, the seasons here are very different from the Central Plains. We don't know that summer is short and winter is long. When this little thing starts to store grain and prepare for winter, it means that summer is over, and we will also prepare to eat."

Cheng Dawei was panting with a crutch. He was over 40 years old. Although he was used to traveling in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, he didn't know that he had to endure such hardship after sailing here. The melting of ice and snow brought difficult mud to this land. Even his second son and nephew were not used to this kind of trek, and his trousers and robes were covered with mud.

His appearance in Majiagang at this time means that the Nanjing Ministry of Works sent to Huizhou Prefecture to notify the envoy of the third winner of the first Wanli Mathematics Award to be vacant.

Cheng Dawei, who struggled to support the fir or pine trees, walked to Baihu's side and untied the kettle beside the small abacus around his waist and drank two mouthfuls.

After moistening his already dry mouth a little, Cheng Dawei bowed and said, "I returned to Zhoubaihu. Last year, I bought a full business bank and bought 500 stones of rice and grain to 4,000 miles and 100 houses on a boat. I was rescued by the official ship when I was rescued by the official ship. I learned that the court had sent an official army in Dadongyang and lacked tools. After returning to Zhili, I bought a few sea boats, bought craftsmen and farm tools, and sold them here."

"A ship of rice, grain, and meat, and meat, vegetables, and oil are allowed to sell copper and iron, but they are not allowed to dock in Japan, and they are not allowed to go ashore at all ports along the way. They are only allowed to supply supplies to hundreds of households, and ships are sent to guard the entire route until they go to Majia Port."

"The official ship is here to convey the holy metaphor. You are lucky and have the courage to travel thousands of miles away."

Bang!

A sudden gun sound came from the forest in the distance. Cheng Dawei was frightened when he heard it. Zhou Baihu's expression remained unchanged, and his words were a little sighing. He spoke with a slight Liaodong accent: "I'm not afraid, that's our flag army. I have practiced military formation skills for my whole life. I thought I was going to kill thieves from the east, but when I came here, I became a hunter."

Zhou Baihu had a name that was not consistent with his strong and strong body. It was Zhou Junan, who was ordered to stay in Majiagang after Magui and Ma Jin and others left. He knew very well that the guns on this land were his subordinates.

After saying that, Zhou Baihu turned around and said, "You are not the time to come. If you came last year, you could buy both ships of rice, grain, and Majiagang. You can escape the coldness and set off for the country. At the beginning of this year, Mashuai divided his troops to the east along the coast and explored the way south. There were only 170 flag troops left in the two hundred households in our department. We don't have enough food this season, but there are many useless mountain goods in the garrison. Five hundred stones of rice and grain are enough, and you can't sell them all."

After a moment, there were two dog barking in the forest. A Jurchen soldier who was not wearing armor and had a strange hairstyle, holding a short axe in his hand and chopping axe marks on the trunks passing by, leaving marks. He walked out of the forest and saluted Zhou Baihu in skillful Liaodong Mandarin. The bird gun carried on his shoulders, and the yellow dog running in front of him was holding a rabbit with a big hind legs.

"You can buy some copper and iron, but if you want to carry the goods back, you may have to wait next year." Zhou Junan looked at Cheng Dawei and said, "Go east, south, follow Ma Shuai, wherever you go, you sell the goods there, and finally Da Shuai ordered Majiagang to transfer how many commercial goods you have."

Cheng Dawei leaned against the tree trunk for a while and roughly recovered his strength. He nodded as Zhou Baihu said, "It's okay, I have this intention. Not only did Cheng come with his clan's children, but his fellow villagers also came by boat soon. We merchants are not afraid of hardship, cold and heat. Zhou Baihu please lead the way. I have almost rested."

Zhou Junan shook his head and smiled and continued to move forward, saying casually: "I heard that there is a song you said that you didn't live in Huizhou in your previous life. You threw it out at the age of twelve or thirteen. It's true."

This is the end of the serious world. Before the imperial army came here, even the agent of Jinghai Bo Chen Dashen, Minguang merchants were still seeking a living in North Korea, Japan, Nanyang, Malacca and other places. The Huizhou merchants had already found this place, and after hearing his words, they had successfully made a deal from 4,000 miles and 100 households.

After walking for a mile, my ears became more noisy. When I walked out of the woods, I suddenly realized that I saw a wide village wall. Every few steps on the wall, a banner with the emperor's brightness was erected. Inside the barracks, there were both corrals and livestock circles. Most of the walking flag soldiers did not wear armor, including Han people, Jurchens, Mongolians, and several natives who wore thick fur coats but had different clothes and accessories to learn Chinese under the guidance of the small flag officials.

Cheng Dawei and his nephew looked around curiously. The camp was piled with wood, including logs that were cut into several meters long and smaller wooden boards. Two flag soldiers were holding adzis and axes to cut a log. On the open fire, three flag soldiers had already made the inner core of the boat with wooden sticks and set the fire.

Zhou Junan introduced to Cheng Dawei as he walked: "That's a canoe. We use this to catch fish by the sea and in the river. The flag army there is smoked fish. The fish here are very plump. The best fish caught in summer must be hung up and smoked for food until winter. Majiagang has to go east for another fourteen miles, but it is not suitable for logging. My hundred-household is close to the river, mainly fishing in spring and summer, logging. When the first snow falls in autumn, we have made many hunting rooms in the forest. Hunter will survive the whole winter and catch prey."

"We don't hunt martens on weekdays. In winter, martens hair grows well. A hunter can bring back ten martens when he comes back in spring. I heard that there are yellow dogs in your cargo. How many of you do you have? How many of them do I want? A good dog can help a lot when hunting martens."

"To go to Madong Hundred Houses, you have to go to Majiagang and then head to the northeast for seven miles, close to the fields, the banner army commander cultivates military fields, and in winter, they will return to Majiagang to escape winter. There are brick kilns, bricks and tiles, and the houses are warm."

The nephew behind Cheng Dawei showed a look of gratitude when he heard this. It sounded that although the winter here was long, the flag army was not difficult here.

When Zhou Junan saw this expression, his face was filled with ridicule of ignorance, and the scar made his smile very scary.

"If you want to spend the winter here, you have to be careful of this."

Zhou Junan said, and gently lifted the rope holding the bear's bear in his hand and said, "At the beginning of the year, the snow shell had not melted. The big bear in the forest broke into the camp that had not been built by my flag army. Most of the hunters were outside. My three good dogs bit a mouthful of bear hair. This good dog didn't live long. Zhou's legs were also lame at that time, with thick skin and thick flesh. It was difficult to cut the knife to hurt the gun and only injured the flesh. It was extremely powerful, and it was pressed on the body and opened its mouth and bit it."

"During the fight, Zhou was stabbed with a dagger, and fled into the forest with a dog's corpse. Twenty gunmen entered the forest along the bloodstains and searched for two days to reach the nest, and this was the case."
