Chapter 489 Group Wedding

At this time, Fu Shanxiang had been appointed as the "Female Waitress" and was responsible for the drafting of the Eastern King's edicts and the compilation of documents.

She is somewhat complacent about such achievements as a woman. Who says women are inferior to men? She, Fu Shanxiang, wants to do great things that even men can't do.

His Highness the King of the East is wise, proficient, knowledgeable and memorized. I heard that he was just a charcoal burner, but now when I talk to him, he seems to be a master of classics and history.

Fu Shanxiang is good at classics and history, so she can be sure that His Highness Dongwang's knowledge is genuine.

"Huh..." Fu Shanxiang finished writing the last word, picked up the rice paper, lightly opened his red lips, and blew lightly on the paper.

She put together the drafted edict of Dongwang Mansion and walked slowly towards Dongwang's study.

The prince's study was brightly lit, and officials came and went from time to time.

Fu Shanxiang felt that King Dong was a diligent prince.

People in the Kingdom of Heaven know that the Heavenly King does not deal with political affairs. Government orders all come from the Dongwang Palace, and the Dongwang has a heavy burden.

"Zeng Lichang must defend the city of Yangzhou, especially the road between the east of Yangzhou and Tongzhou must not be cut off." Yang Xiuqing told an aide.

After saying that, he saw Fu Shanxiang who had just walked to the door.

When the scribes saw Fu Shanxiang coming, they all lowered their heads. Everyone knew that this was the woman that King Dong wanted, and no one dared to look at her.

Only Fu Shanxiang himself was kept in his bones, thinking that His Highness Dong Wang was a man of merit and that he must use his full talents to serve the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Luan Shi, you're here, come in quickly." Yang Xiuqing suddenly changed to a slightly friendly tone and addressed Fu Shanxiang directly, which seemed very close.

"Thank you, King Dong. We have already drafted the edict."

Fu Shanxiang stepped forward generously and handed the edict in his hand to Yang Xiuqing.

Yang Xiuqing took it and immediately read it carefully, pointing out one or two discrepancies from time to time, and then patiently explained it to Fu Shanxiang.

This moved Fu Shanxiang very much. He felt that although Dong Wang had a noble status, he was modest and prudent in his actions.

"Yes, Wei Chen will go and modify it now." Fu Shanxiang nodded repeatedly. She did not apply makeup on her face, but her skin was naturally white and tender.

"Luan Shi, please revise it at night and send it over directly. These edicts will be released tomorrow morning."

"This... Your Majesty, will it affect your rest?" Fu Shanxiang asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter, the great things of the Kingdom of Heaven are important. The year when this King was just established is the time when he is in the prime of life. Now that the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven has not been completed, it is the time for us to work hard..."

Although Yang Xiuqing is young, one of her eyes is broken and her appearance is indeed not very good.

But Fu Shanxiang is not a woman who judges people by their appearance.

"Luan Shi, the leader of the Red Flag Army that controls Chongming and Jiangbei is also a woman. Are you interested in meeting him?" Yang Xiuqing suddenly asked.

He was going to Yangzhou to meet with the female commander to discuss how to deal with the Qing army.

He did not expect that what Chen Deli seemed to have said casually would come true.

How strong are these Chinese people?

This pirate group under the banner of the Red Flag Army is 100% related to the Chinese.

In just a few days, they occupied Chongming, blocked the Yangtze River estuary, and occupied Haimen and Tongzhou, opening up the connection with Yangzhou.

However, the opponent is also very strange. Although the navy is very powerful, it does not advance upstream.

This time Yang Xiuqing wanted to meet Zhuo Yiqing in order to persuade him to assist the Taiping Army in wiping out the Qing Navy.

The Taiping Army never captured Su Chang in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River because they did not have specialized naval forces.

The armed fishing boats originally brought from Wuhan were not strong enough and repeatedly failed in water battles.

The little navy in Luo Gang's hands was only enough to maintain control of the stretch of river from Zhenjiang to Yangzhou.

This also requires the help of forts on both sides of the river and on the sandbanks in the river.

"Really? Your Highness Dongwang, I am willing. I have long wanted to meet this heroine." Fu Shanxiang smiled with excitement, and his whole body was like a blooming peony.

Yang Xiuqing's heart palpitated when she saw this. He was thirty years old this year, an age when he was full of energy.

There are already sixty-six wives and concubines in the house, and it would take two months to turn around one concubine a day.

But there is no female champion.

They are also women, but they are different when blessed by status. A cultured woman has an extra layer of inner beauty.

Yang Xiuqing was uneducated when he was young, so he longed for an educated woman even more.

It's just that he doesn't want to use force, that would be too boring. He gives an order to pull a group of women from the women's hall, but what's the point of that?

He wants to use his charm to conquer this woman, so that he can have a challenge.

"Of course it's true, but the Qingyao on the north bank has been coveting Yangzhou. It's not safe to go to Yangzhou this time. If you are afraid, you don't have to go." The clerk not far away got goosebumps when he heard this. Dong Wang followed

They never spoke so intimately.

"Dong Wang, Shanxiang is not afraid of going up to the sword mountain or the sea of ​​fire for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Wherever you are, the demons will stay away." Fu Shanxiang was happy in his heart. He rarely flattered Yang Xiuqing, which made Yang Xiuqing very useful.

After the explanation was made, Yang Xiuqing asked Fu Shanxiang to go back and revise the edict first.

In just a short while, a large number of scribes were already waiting at the door.

Everyone has something to ask the Eastern King. Now the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition, the Western Expedition, and the implementation of the "Celestial Land Acre System" are all facing a lot of problems.

Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang's Northern Expedition did not go smoothly. It took them more than a month to reach the Yellow River. However, it was the flood season of the Yellow River at this time, and the river surface was wide and the water flow was fast.

It was impossible to cross the river without boats, but the Qing army captured all the boats on the Yellow River.

The Northern Expeditionary Army could only search for ships along the river. They found no ships all the way from Henan to Shanxi, and then had to turn back.

Fortunately, the Qing troops encountered along the way were all idiots, and they basically hid in the city and did not come out to fight.

This allowed the Northern Expedition to recruit food, grass and soldiers in the countryside.

At this time, the Northern Expeditionary Army had expanded to 50,000 people, including poor people recruited along the way, criminal bandits who had turned into bandits, and rebels who had heard the news.

Yang Xiuqing picked up a report from the Northern Expeditionary Army. Lin Fengxiang pointed out the current difficulties of the Northern Expeditionary Army and asked the Kingdom of Heaven to send more elite troops to Shandong to assist, otherwise the retreat would be cut off by the Qing army.

He threw the document into the brazier.

This document, which carried the ardent expectations of the frontline soldiers, was reduced to a pile of ashes.

The scribes slowly withdrew, and almost all the documents for help sent back from the Northern Expedition were shelved by the King of the East.

If everyone can no longer see the clues, they are no longer worthy of hanging around in this palace.

He took out another document from Jiangxi for the Western Expedition.

It says that they attacked Raozhou and seized millions of pieces of porcelain.

"Send an order to commend the soldiers of the West Route Army, and also allocate a batch of food." The eyebrows on Yang Xiuqing's bad eye raised, and the bad eye looked even weirder.

He knew that this batch of porcelain shipped from Yangzhou to Tongzhou could be exchanged for a large amount of food from the Red Banner Army.

There are now hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Tianjing City, and his Dongwang Mansion alone has tens of thousands of people.

These people consume huge amounts of food every day.

However, to the north of Tianjing is the Jiangbei Camp, and to the south is Xiaolingwei, the Jiangnan Camp.

This Jiangnan camp is almost close to the south gate of Tianjing City.

Tianjing City's food supplies are basically supplied by the areas along the river in Anhui Province upstream.

However, transportation lines are often attacked by clear monsters.

This makes Tianjing's food supply always tight.

The King of Heaven doesn't care about such things, and Yang Xiuqing is worried about all these things.

Porcelain is also a bulk commodity that foreigners want to buy. Now most of the high-quality porcelain in the Qing Dynasty comes from Jingdezhen.

Although the Chinese also developed their own bone china, the product was too single.

Foreigners still prefer Jingdezhen porcelain which is exquisitely made and looks like works of art.

It just so happens that I am going to Yangzhou and can digest this batch of porcelain. If the Taiping Army can control Jingdezhen...

Yang Xiuqing rubbed her eyebrows.
