After taking a bath, Lu Feiyan arranged for Dong Shuheng to rest on his bed.
She herself went to look at the child and then went to wash up.
By the time he returned to the room, Dong Shuheng had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Lu Feiyan sat by the bed and looked at Dong Shuheng, who was sleeping quietly.
His side face looked more angular when he was sleeping. I couldn't help but want to touch his cheek, but my hand reached into the air and stopped again.
She was worried that Dong Shuheng would be woken up by her. Lu Feiyan didn't ask just now, and she didn't know how long it took Dong Shuheng to get here.
But after staying in the Taihang Mountains for so long, Lu Feiyan knows how difficult it is to travel in the Taihang Mountains in winter.
Thinking of this, my heart felt touched again.
Women in this era are easily satisfied. A straight man in his mid-20s can win the heart of a girl in this era.
Lu Feiyan lay down next to Dong Shuheng, listening to his regular breathing, and fell asleep quietly, sleeping very soundly.
I don't know how long they had slept, but a burst of crying "wow wah wah..." came, waking Dong Shuheng and Lu Feiyan at the same time.
Dong Shuheng frowned slightly, he was woken up midway, and he was still a little angry when he got up.
"Husband, please continue to sleep, the child may be hungry." Lu Feiyan said suicidal.
"It's okay. I slept soundly. I'm not too sleepy now."
Lu Feiyan stood up gently and turned on the dim oil lamp in the room, and the room suddenly lit up.
Dong Shuheng turned on the light and looked at his pocket watch. It was already half past four in the morning, but it was still dark outside in the winter.
Lu Feiyan walked to the door of the baby room. Grandma Liu opened the door and informed her that the baby was breastfeeding.
The two of them returned to the bedroom together.
Lying back on the bed, Dong Shuheng was no longer sleepy.
"Does Hua'er need to breastfeed every night?" Dong Shuheng asked.
"Well, children have to eat once every one or two hours. Fortunately, you found a helper for me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." Lu Feiyan originally thought that giving birth to a baby would be painful,
If you endure it, it'll be fine.
However, after giving birth, I realized that taking care of a baby is really the most tiring part.
Take breastfeeding as an example. A breastfeeding session lasts for ten or twenty minutes. After that, the child can eat and sleep at the same time.
It takes a while for adults to fall asleep, and after you fall asleep, the children have to eat again.
In this way, I have been in a state of sleep deprivation.
So it’s not easy to raise a child!
Now that she had two mothers-in-law and two wet nurses taking care of the children, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, many farm women have given birth to more than a dozen children and really don't know how to live. So we have to give women enough respect." Dong Shuheng said.
"That's natural. If there is no more war in the future, I will go to the Women's Federation, okay?" Lu Feiyan asked in a low voice.
Dong Shuheng's words gave Lu Feiyan a reminder. She also knew that she could not always lead troops outside, especially after the relationship between her and Dong Shuheng became public.
But she didn't want to stay at home every day and had to find something to do for herself.
"No problem, don't worry, there is no reason for the women in our family to be locked up at home every day." Dong Shuheng agreed, but in his heart he was imagining what it would be like if the two masters in the family gathered together.
Will you vote with your fists and feet when deciding important issues?
As they talked, the two fell silent again.
Dong Shuheng smelled the fragrance of Lu Feiyan's long hair mixed with the smell of milk, and unconsciously hugged her from behind.
"Just a hug." Dong Shuheng said softly.
"Well, husband, why don't you help Juan'er collect it!"
"Although that girl Juan'er has a bit of a snarky mouth, her nature is not bad." Lu Feiyan gave her own advice.
In wealthy families, if the wife is physically inconvenient, she will usually have her maidservant serve her husband.
Lu Feiyan also knew this.
"No need, your husband doesn't look like that kind of impatient person? There are so many young men in our Huaihai Navy, Juan'er will find his own rightful husband. I will be satisfied with just a few of you."
"Well, okay then." After saying that, Lu Feiyan turned around on the bed and kissed Dong Shuheng gently on the cheek.
"Feiyan, when you were in Xuzhou, were you just greedy for my body?"
Hearing Dong Shuheng talk about this matter, Lu Feiyan blushed again, pouted and said: "At that time, I was thinking, anyway, I will find a man in the future. You are not good enough, so just survive!"
"Besides, I was anxious to find a way out for Jiangsu Tiandi Club at that time, and I kept choosing, and the one I liked was you."
"Now it seems that I have a good vision. Now the brothers in the association have found their own way out and can use their own strengths. The great cause of destroying the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner." Lu Feiyan said, with a look of complacency on her face.
look.
Dong Shuheng stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, and said: "That's natural. Your husband and I were a potential stock at the time, but now we have become a blue chip stock."
"What Gu?" Lu Feiyan asked curiously.
"Uh... a very powerful stock, the kind that can help people harvest leeks."
Lu Feiyan was confused.
As the two chatted, they unconsciously talked about what happened after the Qing Dynasty was destroyed.
Knowing the combat power of the Huai Navy, Lu Feiyan had no doubt that he could destroy the Manchus.
Even if Dong Shuheng told her that he would destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty this Spring Festival, she would not have the slightest doubt.
"Husband, after the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, will you proclaim yourself emperor?" Lu Feiyan asked. This is not the first time Dong Shuheng has been asked this question.
Under the dim light, the expression on Lu Feiyan's face became serious, and she seemed to have become the image of the Feiyan heroine again.
"Feiyan, what do you think?" Dong Shuheng asked without answering.
"In the early days, our Tiandihui took 'anti-Qing and restore Ming' as our mission. Later, we all failed, so we saw clearly that the fate of the Ming Dynasty was exhausted. Later, we took the restoration of the Han family as our program and looked for Han family sons and daughters who would have great fortune.
"
"Since my husband started his business, he has developed rapidly and has been going smoothly. Isn't it because he has great luck?"
Dong Shuheng laughed in his heart, it turns out that my golden finger means great luck.
Why didn't I think of that?
That seems to be the case. Looking back on all the experiences he has had since he started the army, the Manchus often make stupid moves, which seems to be cooperating with him.
The war between Britain, France and Tsarist Russia seemed to be tailor-made for the Huai Navy.
At the beginning, meeting Wei Yuzhen, getting in touch with Wei Yuan, and getting the support of the Fuxing Association, was it considered luck?
The dim-witted Qi Shan chose to support himself and use himself as a pawn to benefit himself. In the end, he became Dong Shuheng's pawn. Is this considered luck?
Is meeting Lu Feiyan and bringing in the power of the Tiandihui considered luck?
Successfully detonating the internal conflicts in the Taiping Army and causing the internal strife in Tianjing to occur two years earlier, is this considered luck?
We even found Schönbach in Europe and made smokeless gunpowder available in advance. This must be luck!
From the beginning, I only wanted to gain the power to protect myself in this troubled world, and then I became obsessed with the pleasure of changing history, the pride of fighting for hegemony, and the feeling of having power.
Awake to hold the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman!
This is what countless men yearn for.
Seeing Dong Shuheng lost in thought, Lu Feiyan looked at Dong Shuheng's face quietly and did not rush to interrupt his train of thought.
Dong Shuheng was thinking at this time that if he really had great luck, he should return this luck to the nation during his lifetime.
This is the meaning of coming to this world.
This land has its own destiny, and Dong Shuheng believes that it will eventually develop along the lines of history and return to its own path.
However, the Chinese nation is not bound by this land. Dong Shuheng must use his own destiny to lead them to a greater living space.
Maybe there will be South China, North China, West China, and Donghua in the future. Maybe they are not the same country, and maybe there will be conflicts between them.
But in the future, no one in the world will isolate the Chinese nation based on race.
When China wants to lead people all over the world to change their destiny and get rid of the hegemony and bullying of certain countries, no one will unite to slander China just because their skin color is white.
Because their skin color blinds their eyes, they only believe the words of the liars around them. No one will go to that eastern country to find the truth.
But what if in the future, countries dominated by Chinese people can spread all over the world?
Dong Shuheng seems to have found the goal of his struggle.
He wants to be a pioneer.
There are still so many places in this world that are wild places.
Chinese civilization may not be able to bloom everywhere.
Be culturally confident!
"Feiyan, do you know how many people there are in China now?"
Lu Feiyan's charming peach blossom eyes were widened and she looked curiously at the man close at hand.
"I have specially asked people to investigate. Under the current Manchu territory, there are approximately 350 million people."
"Do you know how many people there are in the world?"
Dong Shuheng continued to ask and answer questions: "There are about 120 million people in the world. This is estimated by the British."
"So, our population accounts for one-third of the world. However, although our land is not small, most of it is mountains, plateaus, and deserts that cannot be cultivated."
"Our arable land only accounts for one-tenth of the world's land." This number was learned by Dong Shuheng in a geography class in his previous life.
Later, although the Manchu and Qing Dynasties ceded some territories, the essence was still there, and the area of cultivated land did not change much.
"Shu Heng, this is very unfair. It turns out that we have used so little land to feed such a large population. No wonder the people in China always don't have enough to eat!" Lu Feiyan continued.
Yes, even she understands this truth.
The Manchu and Qing court did not understand this truth, so we have to overthrow him and replace him.
"So Feiyan, I am telling you this to tell you that our overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is just the beginning. Our real enemies are the Western powers."
"They are wildly enclosing land all over the world. For what reason? Some people may be doing it for immediate benefits, but most of them are leaving more living space for their descendants."
"In this case, what will happen to so many of us in China? We will continue to crowd in this land left by our ancestors, fighting for a little bit of land to survive, and our own people will fall into internal strife?"
"Now I want to answer your question. After conquering the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I will not proclaim myself emperor. When the day comes when the descendants of China have a foothold all over the world, and when everyone thinks that my contribution is enough to deserve an emperor, I will
Only then will I accept this honorary title.”
"Shuheng, if you say this, I can understand a little bit, but it is inevitable that there will be people who don't understand." Lu Feiyan knew that Dong Shuheng's ideas were always different from ordinary people.
People in this era have their own inherent ideas.
"It doesn't matter. Calling us emperor or president will not affect the operation of our government, nor will it affect the loyalty of our military. They just need time to adapt to this change in title."
"What everyone really needs is a core, a backbone, and I will do this role well."
Lu Feiyan buried her head on Dong Shuheng's chest, feeling that he was extremely trustworthy at this time.
As the two of them chatted, the sky gradually grew brighter.
The two of them got up and washed up. The staff had already set breakfast in the restaurant.
Breakfast consisted of yellow millet porridge, egg burritos with bean paste, yellow rice cakes, and several kinds of pasta that Dong Shuheng had never eaten before.
It's not rich, but it has a good nutritional mix.
Dong Shuheng is not the kind of person who likes big fish and meat. He is very cunning, but he is just cunning because he likes to try new things.
Had breakfast with Lu Feiyan.
Accompanying her, she teased little Huazai for a while.
"Wait a minute, I'll go out for a walk." Dong Shuheng said to Lu Feiyan. It was rare for him to come to Taihang, although he mainly came to spend an early year with his wife and children.
But there is no need to stay at home 24 hours a day.
The weather today is very good, the sun is shining brightly, and the little bits of snow in the crevices of the mountains in the distance reflect the dazzling sunlight.
However, the temperature is still very low, so the snow on the road is still there.
This is a good time to travel. If the snow melts, the roads will be muddy and it will be difficult to travel.
Dong Shuheng changed into the military uniform of the Taihang Column and put on his military coat.
Under Lu Feiyan's watch, he left the room.
"Come back early." Lu Feiyan said, holding the door, like a little daughter-in-law sending her husband off to work.
"Well, wait for me to have dinner tonight." Dong Shuheng was very cooperative and smiled knowingly.
Lu Feiyan, who was holding the door, also cast a gentle smile.
After her face grew fleshy, a pair of small dimples appeared faintly when she smiled.
Dong Shuheng called Wei Yuxiang. They and his entourage were all arranged to live in row rooms in the courtyard yesterday. There were two people per room, and the rooms were heated, so they lived comfortably.
It's just that Wei Yuxiang couldn't straighten his waist when walking at this time. This was a sequelae of excessive riding yesterday.
"Yuxiang, how about you take a day off today and I can take Qiliang and Xu Yue out with me." Dong Shuheng said with a smile.
"Let's not go out far today, right?"
"Well, let's walk around here today and learn about the work here in Taihang."
"Then I'd better go with you, as long as you don't ride a horse."
They found Pan Qiliang and Xu Yue again. Dong Shuheng walked towards the town. The headquarters of the Taihang Column was here. Dong Shuheng arrived too late yesterday and did not summon them.
ps: Recently, each chapter has been upwards of four thousand, long and hard. The curtain is slowly opening, and I will use the time before the Spring Festival to lay the groundwork. I think about many things while writing, and the author’s thinking is also the protagonist’s.
Mental journey. Although online literature is sometimes a bit nonsense, most of it still spreads positive energy. Everyone should pay more attention to these points. As for the protagonist’s concubine, it is a family matter.
