Chapter five hundred and eighty-fifth female college does not stay
You see, there are many injustices in the big family. For example, it is clear that Xie Xuan is Xie Minghui's biological father, but he cannot direct Minghui's marriage.
Xie An was very satisfied with his plan. He tried his best to facilitate the marriage. Of course, it was not entirely for Xie Minghui's sake. He was not that noble.
Xie An has concluded that if the Langya Wang family can be revived, it must be in the hands of Wang Zhiyuan, and this seemingly gentle and elegant young man will never listen to Xie An's mercy.
But, so what?
Xie An had already made arrangements in advance. He betrothed his favorite granddaughter to Wang Mi, just to remind him at all times that the relationship between the Wang and Xie families would become chaotic if they were constantly being sorted out.
In the future, even if the Wang family rises again, Wang Zhiyuan will not forget the benefits of Xie An.
Xie Xuan returned to his house with disappointment. Unwilling to accept it, he turned around and went to find his daughter.
When Xie Xuan came over, Xie Minghui was unrolling and reading. Under the dim candlelight, her daughter, who had always been lively and restless, showed a rare sense of demureness.
My daughter really likes it more and more!
Why do you want to give that kid Wang Zhiyuan a bargain?
No personal grudges!
Xie Xuan's opposition to the marriage was largely due to his personal grudge against Wang Zhiyuan.
It sounds like it is a marriage between a wealthy family, but in fact, it is not so particular. It is about young men and women of the same age getting together. In many cases, there is no need to be too strict about seniority.
Marriage between aristocratic families, on the one hand, pays attention to family background and maintains the so-called nobility of blood; on the other hand, it consolidates power.
Women, and even children, are nothing more than tools and ties that maintain this alliance of forces. In the era when aristocratic families were prosperous, high-ranking officials and marquises all came from aristocratic families.
Families that can maintain long-term marriage relationships usually have high-ranking officials. With marriage as a guarantee, these families will not completely break up in the court.
Of course, except for people like Xie An, since a divorce has been ordered, it means that the skin has been broken.
Thinking about it this way, Xie An, who seems indifferent and indifferent, is actually a fierce man of his generation.
He single-handedly challenges the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family, breaking off marriages with an iron hand. What does he care about what you young men and women think?
As long as you don't deal with me, Xie An, in the court, you can't live any longer!
If it was a blind marriage, where family status was not important, Xie Xuan would not worry about it. As long as Xie An had no objection to the Langya Wang family, he would have no objection.
such a pity!
Who told Wang Zhiyuan that he had to go to the Beifu soldiers to hang out?
Ever since he experienced Wang Zhiyuan's various strange operations, Xie Xuan has always had a thorn in his heart. It can't be said to be disgust, nor is it hatred.
It was the feeling of being jealous of the wise and capable. Xie Xuan clearly knew that Wang Mi was extremely capable and that Beifu would develop greatly in his hands.
However, Xie Xuan just didn't want to admit that his ability couldn't match Wang Mi.
This estrangement already existed before Xie An arranged for Minghui's marriage, so Xie Xuan's mood was always so awkward.
Neither agreeing nor disagreeing is probably the true reflection of his mood at this moment.
"Huihui, it's so late, why don't you rest?"
Xie Xuan decided to test Xie Minghui's thoughts, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
"Dad, my son will fall asleep after reading these pages."
Xie Minghui raised her smile and jumped over lightly. Seeing her daughter's smiling face, Xie Xuan suddenly remembered some past events.
"Dad, if you come here so late, you must have something to do!"
"Say it quickly!"
explain?
What to say?
Xie Xuan hesitated when he saw his daughter. He suddenly remembered that when Xie An encouraged Minghui to write a letter to Wang Mi, Minghui was also very happy.
In addition, the two of them also had some personal friendship when they were in Jingkou. Although Minghui refused to admit it, even Xie Xuan's sister and Xie Daoyun could see that Minghui was not unintentional towards that boy Wang Mi.
In this case, Xie Xuan felt that asking was in vain and might ruin Xie An's carefully planned event.
"Dad, what's going on?" Xie Minghui's big soft eyes blinked again and again, obviously unprepared for what Xie Xuan was about to say.
Xie Xuan hesitated for a moment and finally swallowed his words.
"It's nothing. I just saw that it was late at night and your place was still lit, so I came over to take a look."
"Yurou, go help the lady clean up and let her rest early."
Xie Xuan caressed the head of his daughter's head, full of tenderness.
My daughter has grown up!
Can't keep it!
Fortunately, although Wang Zhiyuan is full of tricks, he is ambitious and should not be as disgusting as Wang Guobao.
Speaking of Wang Guobao, it really makes the children of several famous families pinch their noses and disdain to talk about it.
In terms of appearance, Wang Guobao and Wang Mi are comparable, but Wang Guobao is an outright black-hearted person.
Even the wily Xie An was initially deceived by Wang Guobao's good looks, and thought he was some kind of talent!
Thinking about it this way, after a few years, Xie An's vision of people has indeed improved. At least, Wang Zhiyuan is still an upright and healthy man.
In the future, if something happens in the court and the relationship between the Wang and Xie families becomes tense again, Xie Xuan is also confident that Wang Zhiyuan will not do anything to hurt Minghui.
forget it!
Just accept it and thank the old man!
Xie Xuan just came and left in a hurry, leaving Xie Minghui confused.
"Daddy, what's going on?"
"It looks like you still have something to say, why didn't you say it again?"
Xie Minghui sat in front of the dressing table. Her soft and beautiful face was reflected in the bright bronze mirror. Xie Xuan's behavior was indeed strange.
Behind her, the little maid Yurou had already begun to help her take off the hairpin with quick hands and feet. Her black hair was flowing down. Yurou smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry about this. It should be a good thing after all."
"How do you know it's a good thing?"
"Have you received any news?"
Xie Minghui suddenly became alert. In the past few days, Yurou was always coming in and out and was extremely busy. She was not like this before.
Moreover, sometimes she looks worried. Could it be that she got some news but deliberately hid it from her?
Yurou quickly shook her head: "No!"
"Where are you thinking, madam? If your husbands have any important matters, they won't tell me a maid. What can Yurou know?"
"That's true." Minghui pursed her lips and could only accept this fact helplessly.
But she still felt awkward in her heart. She always felt that the things they deliberately concealed were probably related to her.
Xie Minghui went to bed to rest, the gauze curtain fell gently, and Yurou stayed in front of the bed, with a smile on her lips and a happy heart.
hey-hey!
If the lady and Wang Xiaolang become a couple, her Yurou's contribution will be indispensable!
…………
The next morning, Wang Mi, who finally figured out the distribution of the imperial power, took Shen Suanzi with him and climbed onto the pony again.
Pu Chao received news that all parts of the hand gun have been made, and they are waiting for Wang Mi to come over to the workshop for final assembly.
Wang Mi was very excited. Judging from the current situation of the confrontation between the north and the south, once the magic weapon of the hand gun was released, the iron cavalry that Fu Jian relied on would no longer be afraid!
Although the output of handguns is low, the range is not far enough, the accuracy is not good, and the reloading speed is extremely slow, which has many shortcomings.
But think about what era we are in now?
In the authentic cold weapon era, in addition to swords and swords, bows and crossbows were used to counterattack. In this era, hot weapons such as handguns can definitely achieve force suppression!
Moreover, the cavalry combat tactics of the so-called elite soldiers under Fu Jian were far inferior to those of the Jin Liao and Mongolians who roamed the Central Plains in later generations.
A blunderbuss is enough to deal with them!
Moreover, if you look at the current confrontation between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty, is it similar to the confrontation between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty?
It’s still very flavorful!
It may not be appropriate to compare the current Former Qin Dynasty with the future Jin Dynasty, but if you think about it carefully, the situation is similar.
From the perspective of the territory it ruled, the former Qin Dynasty clearly had the upper hand. When the Jin Dynasty rose, there were many forces around it that could compete with it. However, the former Qin Dynasty has already completed the task of annexing surrounding countries.
South of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River, there were only two political powers left, Qin and Jin.
It seems that the former Qin Dynasty was stronger, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which had many internal affairs, was no match at all. How could the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which could not lead its own generals, compare with Fu Jian, who immediately conquered the world, was brave and good at fighting, and commanded all directions?
They are not opponents on the same level at all.
But in fact, Fu Jian's subordinates were also full of hidden worries, but he felt so good about himself that he was completely unaware of them.
Even without the blunderbuss modified by Wang Mi, the former Qin Dynasty in history would not have been able to go far at all, and would still be defeated at the hands of Beifu soldiers.
If this is the case, why go to all the trouble and trouble to improve the equipment?
Of course it was not just to defeat the former Qin Dynasty, but to unify the Central Plains!
In history, the troops of the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were considered to be the most powerful and capable troops after the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south.
However, throughout history, they are still not strong enough, which has a lot to do with the fact that they always prefer to stay in the left corner of the river.
Historically, attacking from lower-lying areas to higher-lying areas has resulted in fewer victories and more defeats. This is determined by geographical factors and cannot be reversed easily by manpower.
Obviously, taking the Huaihe and Yangtze River areas as the dividing line, modern people who are familiar with geography can easily see that the terrain of Jiangzuo is much lower than that of the Central Plains.
This made it always difficult for Jiangzuo's military power to expand northward, and the terrain became the biggest obstacle to the southern court's advancement into the Central Plains.
Therefore, even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty successfully repelled Fu Jian's army, it was still extremely difficult to seize more cities or even advance into the Central Plains in the chaotic situation.
Because not only was the strength of the army on our side still not strong enough, but the victory in the Feishui Battle relied largely on luck.
Although the former Qin Dynasty was buried in the long river of history, under Fu Jian's hands, except for the original Di people group, the remaining tribes were still strong.
When they were doing their own thing and drawing the land for the country, it was not easy for the Beifu soldiers to bite them off one by one.
In other words, it was simply impossible to take into account both. In addition, in the years after the Battle of Feishui, the internal order of the Jin Dynasty also tended to collapse.
Not only the ministers headed by Huan Xuan and Wang Gong were dissatisfied with the various actions of the Sima family, but Sun Tai's Tao of Heavenly Masters was also causing trouble in the territory.
The Beifu soldiers are exhausted from the civil strife. How can they still have the strength to resist foreign enemies?
Of course it can’t go any further!
Based on this situation, Wang Mi started to manufacture more advanced weapons.
time!
Time is important!
Extremely urgent!
During this period of time when Fu Jian had not yet recovered, and at this critical moment when the army of the former Qin Dynasty had not yet approached Jiangzuo, every minute and every second was very important.
We must prepare more muskets to deal a heavy blow to the Di Qin cavalry when Fu Jian's army presses forward!
No!
Not just to defeat the former Qin Dynasty!
Or to pacify the Murong clan and defeat Yao Qiang!
To completely control the Central Plains in Jiang Zuo's hands, only spears, stirrups and other cold weapons were not enough.
The gun is the magic weapon that Wang Mi can hold in his hand.
"move!"
"The general craftsmanship is still waiting for us!"
Pu Chao was indeed in a hurry. Yesterday, as soon as all the preparations were completed, she immediately sent a special person to deliver the letter, and asked Wang Mi to hurry up and join the workshop.
After all, all preparations for the hardware have been completed, but the software has not yet seen any signs.
The so-called hardware is steel pipes, wooden handles, lead, etc., while the software is the gunpowder.
Although Pu Chao did not understand the difference between hardware and software, he also understood that without this gunpowder, the so-called pistol would not be completed at all.
Then Wang Mi was urged to go to the workshop and complete the last process. In the dark, Pu Chao also smelled the smell of war.
Xiangyang City was recaptured happily by the Jin army, but the Beifu soldiers did not have much time to celebrate their victory.
Who is Fu Jian?
On the battlefield, he will retaliate and will not suffer any losses. How could he sit back and wait for death after being bitten off such a big piece of fat by the Jin army?
When he frees up his hands, he will definitely launch a crazy counterattack. It is really difficult to predict whether the Beifu soldiers can block Fu Jian's front by then.
This is an important reason why Pu Chao still accepts Wang Mi's unconstrained behavior well. Pu Chao also sees that the situation that Jin is facing now is actually very critical. There is no surprise and ruthless move to win, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield is still unclear.
Not necessarily!
However, Wang Mi wants to be fast, but can he get up fast?
He and Shen Suanzi had just climbed on the horse's back and waved their whips when they saw a magnificent carriage in the distance, slowly walking towards Prince Langya's Mansion.
"carriage!"
"It's strange!"
Shen Suanzi exclaimed and stared at the gorgeous carriage for a moment.
It was really strange, and Wang Mi didn't dare to move anymore.
In the Jin Dynasty, it is an unwritten custom that dignitaries like to travel by ox-cart. Although there are mules and horses in Jiangzuo, there are not many nobles who like to ride in carriages.
The main thing is, everyone is short of horses, so it is better to practice egalitarianism and no one should ride in a horse or carriage, so that everyone can have a balanced mind.
In Jiankang City, there are not many people who can ride horses on a daily basis. Generally speaking, they are some military generals. However, the customs of the Jin Dynasty are also shameful to practice martial arts and join the army. This has resulted in the fact that obviously not all families are not able to ride horses.
Although there are horses, few ministers can travel on horseback.
However, as long as someone rides a horse or travels in a carriage, he is definitely a big shot!
Wang Mi quickly got off his horse and sent Zeng Jing to deliver a message to Pu Chao. Such a distinguished guest must have come for him.
Without any warning, Wang Mi regarded himself as the protagonist of today's drama and waited openly for the drama to begin.
