"I've seen the general!" Seeing Liu Ruyi coming, Xiao Zixin and Zhu Qingxu hurriedly got up, Wei Wei was very happy!
In the past, when Liu Ruyi had a humble official position, the etiquette for the female family members in the palace was not so strict, but now Liu Ruyi has been honored as the General of Zhendong and the Commander-in-Chief of Shandong, and Xiao Zixin and Zhu Qingxu are about to have their official orders, so,
In terms of etiquette, it has gradually become stricter!
After all, part of this kind of thing is to be done by oneself, but the more important thing is to show it to outsiders!
"Haha! We are an old couple now! No need to be so formal!" Liu Ruyi smiled and sat between the two women, casually picked up Xiao Zixin's tea cup and took a sip.
Xiao Zixin's pretty face couldn't help but blush slightly, but she also knew Liu Ruyi's temperament very well. She knew that although the man in front of him had a high and powerful position, deep down, he was still as free and uninhibited as before!
"Ruyi, are Xin'er and Yi'er asleep?" Xiao Zixin rolled her eyes at Liu Ruyi and asked with a smile.
"Well! I just went to bed! Haha, I didn't expect that taking care of children would be so tiring! These two little things really tortured me!" Liu Ruyi moved her numb arms, but her face showed
A warm smile!
As the saying goes, 'Whatever your wife thinks is good for others, but how your children think is good for you!'
Thinking of the two little guys who just fell asleep, Liu Ruyi felt a lot more relaxed!
Xiao Zixin smiled slightly but said nothing, but Zhu Qingxu's expression was dark. Obviously, she felt a little sad in her heart!
"Qingxu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Ruyi held Zhu Qingxu's smooth little hand and said with a smile.
Zhu Qingxu was startled, but tears welled up in his eyes, "Ruyi, I hate you..."
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but was startled, and quickly glanced at Xiao Zixin, only to find that Xiao Zixin was also looking at him meaningfully, as if to say: 'You are called Huaxin, are you going to suffer now?'
Zhu Qingxu obviously didn't notice the eye contact between Liu Ruyi and Xiao Zixin, and lay on Liu Ruyi's shoulder, sobbing softly!
Liu Ruyi's face couldn't help but darken, but after a moment, it dissipated. He glanced at Xiao Zixin, then gently patted Zhu Qingxu's shoulder, and then said: "Zixin, Qingxu, you are all in this world.
The best women in the world! Being able to have you is really a blessing given to me by God! Unfortunately, I, Liu Ruyi, was born to be a rough person. If I have any regrets, please forgive me! However, I can promise that no matter what
I will treat any one of you equally!"
Xiao Zixin couldn't help but laugh, "Ruyi, I haven't seen you for a few days, but my words have become smoother! No wonder Qingxu is so unhappy, even I feel a little jealous!"
Xiao Zixin said, but her eyes drifted to Chunyunu and Qing'er's room!
Zhu Qingxu also cried loudly at this time, "Ruyi, I really, really want a child of my own!"
Liu Ruyi suddenly burst into laughter, "Just because of such a small thing, do you think you are like an enemy? This thing is too simple! Why don't we start working hard now!"
Zhu Qingxu was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Liu Ruyi meant, but he was hugged by Liu Ruyi.
Zhu Qingxu couldn't help being shocked, her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, "Ruyi, you, what are you going to do?"
Liu Ruyi ignored Zhu Qingxu's reaction. In a few moments, he peeled her into a little white sheep and pressed her on the soft couch beside her!
"Ruyi, are you crazy?" Zhu Qingxu still wanted to resist, but a familiar hardness filled her body and mind instantly. She couldn't help but whisper, "Yeah!"
"Well! You continue! I'll get out of the way first!" Xiao Zixin understood what Liu Ruyi meant, turned around, and was about to leave!
But Liu Ruyi strode forward and hugged Xiao Zixin in his arms. The room was filled with spring colors instantly!
In later generations, some philosophers once said, 'The best way to conquer a woman's heart is to conquer her body first!'
After a windy and rainy night, Liu Ruyi woke up early the next morning and discovered that she was lying on the Persian carpet in the wing room, while Xiao Zixin and Zhu Qingxu were not even naked, one on the left and the other on the right, sleeping soundly!
After gently covering the two women with blankets, Liu Ruyi slowly walked out of the door!
Although last night was absurd, it was precisely because of its absurdity that it solved the knot between the two women! Extraordinary things must be done by extraordinary means!
The current situation is chaotic, and Liu Ruyi really doesn’t have that much time to spend with their children, so stability must take precedence over everything else!
Fortunately, Xiao Zixin and Zhu Qingxu are not unreasonable people, and after a whole night of 'frank meeting' last night, Liu Ruyi believes that the relationship between them should be much gentler!
"General, Uncle Liu has been waiting in the study for a long time!" As soon as he walked out of the inner courtyard, some soldiers came forward to report.
After returning from Sichuan, Liu Hanyi has been responsible for the arms contact between the Caishi Army and He Renlong, Gao Jie, Hu Dawei, and Wang Pu. There has been no news for a long time. At this time, when he suddenly heard the news about Liu Hanyi, Liu Ruyi's heart
He also moved, "Quick, go to the study!"
~~~~~~~~
In the study, Liu Hanyi was sitting on the soft couch, staring blankly at the fragrant tea in the cup!
After several months of this journey, he traveled from Shaanxi to Shanxi, then from Shanxi to Liaodong, and finally from Liaodong to Mongolia. Although he was exhausted, he was even more touched in his heart!
Because what he saw along the way made it clear to him that the North Land of the Ming Dynasty was actually in turmoil!
"Brother, long time no see! How are you? Has it been a smooth journey?" Liu Ruyi walked into the study room, laughed and gave Liu Hanyi a hug!
"Haha! It's much richer than expected!"
Liu Hanyi also hugged Liu Ruyi forcefully, but took out a piece of delicate red cloth from his arms, opened it, and saw two exquisite pieces of Hetian white jade, "Ruyi, I heard that two little nieces were born.
There is nothing good here! It just so happens that the two pieces of jade that the old man left behind are still in my brother's hands, so I borrowed flowers to offer them to Buddha! I wish my two little nieces a safe life and grow up quickly!"
Liu Ruyi took the white jade, played with it gently, and said with a smile: "Brother, why do we have to do these clichés among brothers! Otherwise, if my sister-in-law gives birth, I don't even know what to give!"
The two exchanged pleasantries and gradually got down to the topic!
Liu Hanyi's face became a little grim, "Ruyi, the situation is not optimistic! Whether it is He Renlong, Gao Jie, Shanxi's Hu Dawei, Wang Pu, or Liaodong's elite Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen, their stations,
I have gone through it all! What a pity! The result is unsatisfactory!"
"What? Brother? But the generals don't give you face?" Although Liu Ruyi understood what Liu Hanyi meant, she still asked one more question!
Liu Hanyi laughed and shook his head, "How could this happen? Several generals treat me like a guest, but it's a pity that the soldiers under their command..."
Liu Hanyi glanced at Liu Ruyi and continued to shake his head speechlessly.
"Brother, if we have anything to say between us brothers, just say it directly!" Liu Ruyi slowly took a sip of strong tea!
"Hey! Ruyi, this is not because of my brother's fault! In fact, there are so many things that shocked my brother along the way!"
Liu Hanyi sighed and explained: "The Shaanxi Army has been fighting all year round in recent years, and its military equipment is slightly better! However, the ones who can use it are the elites under He Renlong and Gao Jie! But in Shanxi,
Xuanda and Datong are much weaker! Even those under Commander Hu and Wang Pu are probably wearing embroidered pillows!"
Liu Ruyi nodded. The reason for the relaxation of armaments in the late Ming Dynasty came from many aspects. With the current situation, it is almost impossible to change it!
After all, during the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were too many moths attached to the profit chain of military pay!
Unless they are all killed, everything will still be like this!
"How are Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao doing? By the way, brother, did you get involved with the Liaodong ancestral family and the Wu family this time?"
Liu Hanyi glanced at Liu Ruyi, "General Cao and General Wang are stronger than other places! However, they have less land, fewer people, and more constraints. It is difficult now! The Zu family and the Wu family, this time
This time, my brother failed to talk to them! However, as expected, my brother found out some important news about the Manchus!"
"Oh? Please let me know, brother!" After hearing Manqing, Liu Ruyi also cheered up!
Liu Hanyi took a sip of tea and lowered his voice: "I heard that Huang Taiji spent a lot of money to have the obedient King Kong Youde train a brand-new artillery battalion, all using the advanced artillery of the Folangji people. In my opinion, their
The purpose, I’m afraid, is just for us!”
"Is Kong moral?" Liu Ruyi said the name lightly!
In other words, although Kong Youde also traveled wildly in Shandong for several years, he and Liu Ruyi were separated in time and space and had no chance to meet! In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde retreated to Liaodong, and in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Liu Ruyi came to
this world!
Speaking of which, it’s a bit of a pity!
However, when talking about Kong Youde, one person's name must be mentioned, and that is Mao Wenlong from Pidao!
In fact, in the early Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui and San Francisco were still like Geng Jingzhong!
In addition to Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong’s ancestor Geng Zhongming were all former subordinates of Mao Wenlong!
Of course, the obedient king Kong Youde was actually the most powerful competitor for the vassal king in the early Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, perhaps because he did too many evil things, Kong Youde had no sons but only one daughter - Kong Sizhen, which made him reject the throne for generations.
He was appointed to guard Guangxi, but in the end, he died in battle in Guangxi!
In this way, the four feudal lords became the later three feudal lords!
However, Kong Youde was able to wreak havoc in Shandong for several years without being wiped out. He really had some real abilities!
The naval force under his command was sharp and good with firearms. He was considered the leader among the Ming army at that time!
If Huang Taiji lets him train the artillery battalion, then this matter will be a bit interesting!
