Wu Nian stood with his hands behind his hands and turned to look at Chen.

Mrs. Chen nodded lightly, glanced at Chen Jiagui, hugged her son, and walked away surrounded by her maids and wet nurses.

"General. I received the news. Chunyuan issued an order. 1. Disband the soldiers of thousands of households of the Han people, collect armor, and equip Mongolian soldiers. 2. Order people to make heavy axes, divine arm bows, and select soldiers to establish a heavy army.

Armored heavy ax soldiers, divine arm archers. 3. Order all households to strengthen military discipline and refine their soldiers."

Chen Jiagui didn't bother to salute. After standing still, he said immediately with an extremely ugly face.

Wu Nian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and after a moment, he slowly calmed down. He glanced at Chen Jiagui and said, "Calm down. I use heavy armor, heavy ax soldiers, divine arms and bows to compete with thousands of households in the Meng Yuan Dynasty.

He has won many battles. Chunyuan is not stupid, and it is normal to find ways to deal with me. And the easiest way is to imitate the tiger."

"With the quality of the Mongolian soldiers, they have trained heavy armor, heavy axe soldiers, and divine arm archers. It is indeed no small feat."

"But our military morale is also very important."

"If we really fight, I trust my soldiers."

"As for the thousands of Han households, there are frequent problems now, so of course he has to ban them."

Wu Nian held his head high and his chest filled with confidence.

"Yes." Chen Jiagui couldn't help but admire him, loudly agreed, then turned around and left.

Wu Nian exhaled, with a slightly worried look on his face. In front of others, he could not be discouraged or decadent. He would always be a high-spirited general supporting the Han Dynasty.

Otherwise, how to unite people's hearts?

But there is no need to be like this in private. Although he just said it was very relaxed, it is not that relaxed in fact.

He is a heavy-armored and heavy-axe soldier, and his weapon is the Divine Arm Bow, which has now been copied by Chun Yuan. In future fights, even if he can win, his losses will be huge.

It is even more of a pity that there are ten thousand Han households. It is like a sieve that leaks air, and you can find holes and use tricks. But now it has been disbanded by Chunyuan.

"Expelling the Tartars and recovering Liaodong is not easy." Wu Qingnian sighed softly and shook his head. But he didn't think much about it.

The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth.

Now he has no other choice but to guard the Yingqing Mansion and let the Nine Colonels train elite soldiers. Only after he becomes stronger can he make progress.

Without strength, everything is empty talk. Even if there is an opportunity, you cannot seize it.

Chunyuan's actions caused some waves in Yingqing Mansion.

But not big.

The beliefs of the officials, the army, and the people are condensed. Wu Nian's prestige is enough to carry the hearts of the officials, the people, and the military. Everyone believes in it.

Wu Nian will definitely be able to lead them to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong.

What are you afraid of?

The banner of the Year of Wu did not fall, and the entire Yingqing Mansion was as calm as the Dead Sea. Officials and people were busy celebrating a good New Year.

Including the Wu family.

Amid much anticipation, New Year's Eve finally arrived. Wu Nian and the baby's family members, including Wu Yu, Wu Wuyang, and Wu Huazhuang, had a lively New Year's Eve dinner together and stayed overnight at the

Liu Xiang's bedroom.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Nian took a nap, and when he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. When he reached out and touched the person beside his pillow, he found that he was long gone.

He called the maid to bring hot water in. After washing up, he had a sumptuous breakfast in the room. After asking the maid, he came to the small living room.

Liu Xiang and Wu were sitting on the main seat, talking across the coffee table. A group of maids were waiting beside them.

"Sister, Xiang'er, what are you talking about?" Wu Nian asked, a little curious.

"We are talking about how to repay the gift. The school captain, chief historian, Sima, meritorious officials, etc. have all sent New Year gifts. We must return the gift as appropriate, and we cannot let others laugh at us."

Liu Xiang's little face was as wrinkled as a bun. She stretched out her little hand and rubbed her temples, complaining of a headache.

Wu Nian thought something had happened and said with a smile: "Then what's the trouble? They are either my subordinates or my brothers. Just be casual."

Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wu Nian, how could this be done?

"Brother, this is a red envelope for you." Wu smiled, took out a red envelope from her purse, and handed it to Wu Nian.

"Thank you, sister." Wu Nian immediately became serious, lowered his head and accepted it respectfully. The red envelope was very light, it should be a copper coin.

This year's New Year is really peaceful. Wu Nian, Wu, and Liu Xiang sat for a while, watching them rack their brains in order to return gifts.

Then he slipped away and went to see Wang Ruyan, Xiaohong, Chen, and his children. He also prepared a lot of red envelopes and gave them to people he saw.

Zhang Zhen, Li Ya, Lu Yanxun and the young people all participated.

After wandering around for a day, Wu Nian returned to Liu Xiang's room at night, hugged his wife's soft body, and fell asleep happily.

This is the life a time traveler should live.

Who said that I, Wu Nian, am ferocious, cruel, and murderous without blinking an eye?

If it had not been for the invasion of the Mongols, I would have been a minor official in Liaodong, with a wife and concubines. I would not have to worry about food or clothing, and I would have more than enough for those above me.

Don't live a happy life.

What a pity.

It's all the fault of the Meng Yuan people. If you don't kill them, who will you kill?

As a hands-off shopkeeper, Wu Nian, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty, lived a very relaxed life when he was not fighting.

After the New Year.

The nine major captains of Yingqing Prefecture each moved to the designated defense areas.

Liu Zhixing and Li Yong recruited new soldiers and mobilized supplies to provide the captains. The entire Yingqing Mansion army was a training ground.

As time goes by, the weather gradually warms up. The hard-working Han farmers begin to prepare for spring farming.

The faces of many people were filled with longing.

Although they now have to support 65,000 troops, their life is very hard.

But under Wu Nian's rule, no Mongolians were superior to others, no Liaodong generals exploited the countryside, and no thieves were rampant.

Stable and safe.

They believe that as long as they follow Wu Nian, their lives will get better and better.

As for the Wu family, as the weather warmed up, the children gradually grew older. Going home to worship their ancestors was also put on the agenda.

March eighteenth.

The weather in Liaodong was still cold, but it was no longer freezing. Wu Nian took his whole family, escorted by soldiers from a thousand households, out of the south gate of Jiang County, and headed along the road to Beishan Fort.

It was rare that Wu Nian did not ride a horse, but sat in a large carriage with Liu Xiang and Wu Yu. They rocked as the carriage swayed, as if they were riding a boat.

"It's better to ride a horse." Wu Nian sighed and said.

"Brother, you are talking nonsense. Riding in a car is much more comfortable than riding a horse." Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wu Nian, then covered her mouth with her small hand and started retching.

Wu Nian quickly took out pickled plums from his purse and gave them to her.

That's right. Liu Xiang is pregnant again.

Not only Liu Xiang, Wang Ruyan and Xiao Hong are also pregnant.

There was no way. Wu Nian was young and strong, and there were no protective measures in this era. It was difficult for them not to get pregnant.

Because of Chen's health, she was afraid that it would be difficult to conceive another child.

"I didn't expect that the second time I got pregnant, the reaction would be greater than the first time." Liu Xiang patted her chest first, and after feeling comfortable, she pinched a sour plum and put it into her mouth.

"It's really hard on you." Wu Nian said apologetically.

"I do." Liu Xiang rolled her eyes at Wu Nian and said happily.

To be able to spread the branches and leaves of the Wu family, seven or eight of her children are too few.

I will use my own efforts to make the Wu family prosperous.

snort.

The journey from Jiang County to Beishan Fort was not long. The team walked very slowly, but they arrived at Beishan Fort two days later.
Chapter completed!
