The wind is very strong. It is the first time for most people in Tamsui City to experience the strong winds that are common along this coast every summer and autumn. Between heaven and earth, the only sound is the sound of wind, followed by the sound of houses or trees collapsing or breaking.
In the face of the power of nature, even the Li people, who are known for their bravery, had to hide in stone houses that had been built long ago and bow to nature.
There have been casualties in the city due to the storm. In response, the inspection department sent almost all of their people out. There were not enough stone houses, and some temporary wooden houses were built. Under this kind of wind and rain,
It is simply vulnerable. From time to time, you can see some debris blown up from the ground in the sky. People walking on the streets of the city must not only stabilize their bodies to prevent themselves from being blown away by the wind, but also be on guard against accidents.
Not knowing when the wood and stones fell from the sky, and when the people who inspected the yamen were also injured or killed, Qian Wubing ordered that no one go out.
The small port is densely packed with navy ships that have long returned to the barracks in Fujian. The fleet that is still waiting for loading in Tamsui is almost packed in here. Even if the ships in the fleet are no longer
Even if they were twice as old as Qian Wubing, they would not let their ship wander outside in such a storm. Staying in a safe haven was the safest option for them, even though this safe haven was really too small and too crowded.
In the back hall of the Xuanweishi Si Yamen, this is Qian Wubing's residence in Dongfan. Just before the storm came, Olivia, who was supposed to live in Jinyiwei Yamen, had already packed her few luggage.
Moved here from Jinyiwei Yamen.
At this moment, Qian Wubing and Olivia were sitting together. In front of them, there was a pair of Shuanglu. This was Qian Wubing teaching Olivia how to play Shuanglu. In such weather, this was already
This is the best way Qian Wubing came up with to pass the time.
Shuanglu is a popular chess game among the people. It is said that it existed during the Three Kingdoms period. Qian Wubing doesn’t know whether this statement is true. However, during the years when he was a Jinyi captain in Beijing, he and his colleagues
, they play this a lot. Of course, they use this as a gambling tool.
Olivia was very interested when she first saw such novel gambling equipment. However, after she figured out the rules, and after she and Qian Wubing lost several games in a row, she lost her newly aroused interest.
, I don’t know where she went. This was because she was trying hard to suppress her temper in front of Qian Wubing. Sister Olivia’s gambling products are not very good, and her gambling skills are even less good. As long as there is a gambling game in which she participates,
Basically, it will end up in a melee, which Qian Wubing definitely doesn't know.
"No more playing!" After losing another round, Olivia put down the dice in her hand, "How about we go out for a walk!"
Qian Wubing looked at Olivia like he was looking at a little monster, "Are you just unable to stay like this? Everyone will be blown away by the wind when you go out. How dare you go out? You didn't hear the crackling of the roof tiles."
Flying around?"
"What a damn weather!" Listening to the strange howling wind outside, Olivia stamped her feet angrily and cursed.
Looking at this long-legged lady who was feeling weak all over, Qian Wubing smiled slightly. It wasn't until he had a close relationship with Olivia that he realized that Olivia was five years older than him. He occasionally looked at her
It is actually a very pleasing thing for this tough and iron-blooded woman to look like a little daughter in front of this outsider.
"I don't know how long this horrible weather will last. I remember that last year in Haojing, it was also such horrible weather. I stayed in the tavern for half a month!"
"Half a month?" Qian Wubing frowned: "Does it take so long?"
"It's almost the same!" Olivia didn't know that Qian Wubing was thinking about the livelihood of the city residents in the past half month at this moment, so she replied carelessly: "By the way, sir, that Qianhu man named Liu Hua
, I’ve only been back for two days, and the weather has changed. Do you think it’s possible to return to the rebels’ home base in this kind of weather?”
"I don't know about this. Maybe they have their own way!" Qian Wubing shook his head, "Anyway, if our people encounter such weather in the woods, there is a high probability that they will not be able to get better. However, if he
If he really dies on the way, that is God's will. Whatever we said to him, we will treat it as if we haven't said it yet, and we will just act as we should!"
"I hope that guy dies on the way!" Olivia prayed seriously: "If we don't win, my honey will not be able to get promoted!"
Qian Wubing glared at her fiercely. There were still people waiting outside. She dared to say this kind of affectionate name in the boudoir so carelessly.
"Olivia!" Qian Wubing packed up the chessboard. When he saw this escaping woman, he suddenly thought of a question: "From now on, if you follow me to Beijing, there will be no wars there. Even fights are very rare. You
Will you feel bored?"
"Why do you want to go to Beijing!?" Olivia said strangely, "I know that Beijing is the capital of the empire, but you promised me that I can do what I like, I can go to Fusang and Goryeo.
, go to Nanyang, with your fleet!"
She muttered: "I know you have many wives, and they are all nobles. I don't want them to laugh at me for being a rude woman!"
"Then I will go back to Beijing in the future?" Qian Wubing knew that this was her answer, but he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. Whether it was loss or a little joy, he really couldn't tell.
"You can come and see me!" Olivia glanced at him charmingly: "When you are not with me, I will not be good to other men!"
"Humph!" Qian Wubing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You do know your duty. I think everyone knows that you are my woman, and no one has the courage to tease you!"
Signaling her to sit down again, Qian Wubing held her hand: "I have an idea, but I have never been able to find a suitable candidate, but now that you are mine, and you have joined our Jinyi Guard again,
, are unwilling to follow me back to Beijing, I think you are the most suitable candidate!"
"Sir, do you have a new task for me?" Olivia said in surprise, the title changed extremely fluently.
Qian Wubing did not correct her title, but said to himself: "You know, I can't stay here forever, our Ming Dynasty doesn't just have this little place, our Jinyiwei has more than this place to take care of.
A little bit older, one day, I will leave, and Yan Qi Yan Jiu, they are my confidants, will also leave with me. Tamsui City has just begun to grow in size. Do you understand these Li people?
They are my subjects, and since they are my subjects, I cannot just leave them alone, let alone let other people or other forces get in!"
Olivia nodded and looked at Qian Wubing seriously with her green eyes. No lord wanted to see others reaching into their territory. Everyone knew what Qian Wubing meant.
Do you want to take care of his territory when he leaves?
"At the moment, the Jinyiwei Yamen in Tamsui City, although it is called Jinyiwei Yamen, has a somewhat unfair name. In the Zhenfusi Yamen in Beijing, I don't even know there is such a place, so I plan to set up a place here.
The Jinyiwei Yamen, which is also known and controlled by Beijing, follows our Ming Dynasty rule of setting up a thousand-household office in a province. Here, a Jinyiwei thousand-household office is set up. Of course, what I said may not be true. It also requires my boss and the emperor.
Your Majesty nodded, but I am confident that this will become a reality!"
"But, I heard that the Ming Dynasty is a very big province, and Tamsui City is just a city. It can't be compared with those provinces!"
Looking at the confused green eyes, Qian Wubing couldn't help but pinch her high nose, "I didn't say that I was in Tamsui's Thousand Households Office, I was only concerned with things here in Tamsui! In the future, Fusang
, Goryeo, Annan, Nanyang, as long as there are places within the Ming Dynasty that the Jinyi Guards cannot control, this Qianhu Office can take care of them! If you encounter anyone who is disobedient, you, Qianhu, drive a warship and lead our soldiers in a mighty manner
How about killing the sluts and kicking whoever disobeys?"
Olivia listened leisurely and fascinated. This is not the Qianhu of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei. This is clearly the governor of all the overseas colonies of the Ming Dynasty. This is so majestic.
"Hey, wait, what did you just say? I, Qianhu, do you mean, Qianhu Institute asked me to be Qianhu?" Olivia suddenly reacted and exclaimed in surprise again.
"Da Ming Overseas Qianhu Office, Olivia Qianhu, are you willing to give in?"
"Yes! I do!" Olivia simply jumped up, her thighs sat unceremoniously on Qian Wubing's lap, and she even held up Qian Wubing with both hands, trying to keep a serious face.
Kissed her hard: "Mitang'er, I love you so much, you are so good to me!"
"Sit down, sit down, let's talk about serious business!" Qian Wubing wiped Olivia's saliva from his face in a funny way.
"The mercenaries under you, as well as Luka's group, will all be considered your subordinates from now on. Also, the imperial guards I brought over among the Li people will not follow me back to the capital, so I will give them to you first.
Put up the frame of this Qianhu Office, and when I return to Beijing, you can keep an eye on my home here, and if there is anyone who doesn't like it, you know what to do!"
"I know, beat them hard!"
"If the affairs of our court are directly handed over to the Inspection Department Yamen, they represent the court, we represent the Imperial Guards, and His Majesty the Emperor. You can go ahead and do it. If something goes wrong, I will clean it up for you. Of course, before I leave,
In the past, I will try my best to handle the rebel affairs and not leave you with a mess! When you have trouble making up your mind, and I’m not around, I’ll discuss it with Jing’er more.”
"Your wife in Nagasaki?" Olivia chuckled, as if she understood something.
