Chapter 1124 Jinyang: Dragon and Phoenix twins, how did they become obsessed with each other?

 ?

Jilong Mountain

After Yang Lu heard what Shi Tingzhu said, he nodded and said: "If we have the Hongyi cannon, we will definitely be even more powerful when we attack the Han Dynasty's city in the future."

He heard that the old emperor of the Qing Dynasty was killed by the Hongyi cannon.

Shi Tingzhu said: "Master Yang, the Duke of Wei has just defeated the Junggar people in the northwest, and the Han court is also aggressive at sea. If we want to stop the Han court's advance, we must unite."

Yang Lu said: "That's exactly what I meant. Now the Han people want to monopolize the benefits of sea trade. If they don't give us a way to survive, we can't let them live in peace. The north and south are echoing each other, making them tired to deal with."

As he said that, he observed Shi Tingzhu's expression and asked, "I wonder what your country's plan is? Have you sent a navy south to assist?"

Shi Tingzhu said: "In April or May of the year, the Qing Dynasty had just fought a battle with the Han Dynasty in the north. The regent's intention was to wait until this time next year when the country has almost rested and recuperated, and then send troops southward to avenge its previous humiliation.

"

"That's fine." Yang Lu nodded.

At this moment, a person came from outside and said, "Master, Liu Xiang sent someone over, saying that they have important matters to discuss in Anping."

Yang Lu asked: "What's the important matter?"

"They say they are going to convene an alliance meeting in Anping to resist the army." said the leader.

Yang Lu frowned and said, "Did you say when?"

This place is still some distance away from Anping, and it will take some time for Yang Lu to get there.

"Five days later," the leader said.

Yang Lu said in a deep voice: "Then tell them that we will see you in Anping in three days."

After the leader left, Shi Tingzhu said: "It is reasonable to unite to fight against the Han army. Now that the Han Dynasty is powerful, it is good to have more strength."

Yang Lu shook his head and sneered: "I'm afraid someone wants to annex my tribe and others."

Hearing this, Shi Tingzhu's eyes flashed, his face thoughtful.

Yang Lu turned around and smiled and said: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter. Today, I will have a few drinks with General Shi so that General Shi can tell me what is the current situation in the Qing Dynasty."

If you are really desperate, you may be able to seek refuge with the Jurchens.

Tainan, Anping

This is the official government office of the Netherlands that has been stationed on the platform for a long time. Some auburn-haired Dutch people can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Among the official offices

Putmans, the Dutch Governor in Taiwan, was sitting behind a mahogany desk. He had a hooked nose, fair face, and sharp eyes.

Not far away, Liu Xiang is in her late fifties, with gray hair and a weather-beaten face, but her sunken eye sockets are full of depth and sharpness.

"Master Liu, your men have fought against Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty. They should know the capabilities of Duke Wei. Would you like to introduce him to this governor?" Governor Putmans spoke in a slightly weird Chinese language.

The words said.

Not far behind Liu Xiang's head were Shangguan Rui, the leader of the Yuannujiao Gang, and Yan Qing, the leader of the Jinsha Gang. Their faces looked solemn at this moment.

At the beginning, Jia Heng led the Jiangnan Navy to defeat the Korean Navy led by Duduo and a group of pirates. The leaders of the Sihai Gang were captured and killed, while Shangguan Rui, the leader of the Nujiao Gang, and Yan Qing, the leader of the Jinsha Gang, brought several ships.

, hundreds of gangs fled to Nanbo Bay.

Liu Xiangdao: "The leader of the army this time is the Prince of Beijing County of the Han Dynasty. This vassal prince has the glory of his ancestors and can command tens of thousands of naval forces to attack us at a young age. His military tactics are not as good as that of an ordinary man."

If Duke Wei, who is a descendant of martial arts, comes, it will not be easy for us to win."

Putmans frowned and said: "Is this Duke Wei so powerful?"

Liu Xiangdao: "This Duke of Wei defeated the rising Jurchens in the north, and not long ago he defeated the Heshuote and Junggar people in the northwest. He has never suffered a defeat since he led his troops on the expedition. Once he goes south,

The Guangdong Navy will also move into action, attacking from two directions, and we are definitely no match."

Putmans said disdainfully: "Our men are all equipped with the latest muskets and artillery. The Han people are definitely no match."

Liu Xiangdao: "Your Excellency the Governor, we still have too few guns and artillery. I hope your Excellency the Governor can release the supply."

In fact, the reason for all this is to ask Putmans to release the supply of muskets and red cannons.

"We don't have many muskets in hand." Putmans waved his hand and said.

Liu Xiang heard this and cursed the red-haired ghost for being stingy.

Zhong Bin frowned and said: "Your Majesty the Governor, the former Jurchens, you not only supported the fire guns and Hongyi cannons, but also allowed them to send craftsmen to learn the craftsmanship. What do you mean by this?"

"We have trade with North Korea and the Qing Dynasty. They need to use firecrackers and red barbarian cannons to stop the harassment of the Han Dynasty navy." Putmans said.

In fact, there is another one. The Shitingzhu represents Dorgon's promise that if the Qing Dynasty defeats the Han people and takes control of the Central Plains, it will cede ports in Fujian and other places to the Dutch, and at the same time, the Dutch will be allowed to freely engage in trade activities in the Han territory.

Although this matter is still in the future, making an investment in advance is beneficial and cost-effective.

The key point is that the pirates were more of servants of the Dutch, tools used to control and fight against the Han Dynasty. I was afraid that so many people would get muskets and cannonballs, which would in turn threaten the Dutch rule in the area.

Liu Xiangdao: "What if the Han court sends a large number of troops? At that time, just relying on the thousands of people under the governor's command, they should not be the opponent of the Han court army, right?"

Putmans's face changed slightly, becoming sinister, and his sharp eyes became a little dangerous.

This is a threat!

Liu Xiangdao: "If you want to occupy the land here, you still have to unite to defeat the Han people. When Duke Wei comes, the navy from Guangdong, Fuzhou, Hangzhou and other places will encircle and suppress us. This is a time of life and death."

Putmans' face was gloomy and uncertain, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Yan Qing and Shangguan Rui looked at each other, sometimes looking at Putmans, sometimes looking at Liu Xiang, watching the changes.

Fujian, Zhangzhou Port

Warships with high masts and heavy sails sailed into the port one after another to rest. Wang Shuirong of Beijing, accompanied by several generals, headed to the port, cheering in front of them and in high spirits.

During this period, a group of strong soldiers and generals were obeying orders, which greatly satisfied King Beijing's ambition for success.

"Your Majesty, our brothers have suffered a lot of casualties, and the Hongyi cannons are also short of shells. This battle is indeed difficult to fight." Huo Hui, the commander of the Hangzhou Guards, said worriedly.

This round of naval battle was basically a showdown of red barbarian cannons. The Han army had red barbarian cannons, and the pirates also had red barbarian cannons. In comparison, the officers and soldiers had the upper hand because of their warships, logistics, and unified command.

Wang Shuirong of Beijing said: "Now that the weather has entered winter, many naval officers are homesick, so let's stop the war for a while and then wait for the court's decree."

Wei Che said: "Your Majesty, all the military advisors and veterans are tired and need to rest again before they can send troops to the Jiangnan camp."

Chu Daoquan, the commander of the Ningbo Guard, said: "What General Wei said is true. The pirates and the red barbarians united together and built fortresses on the islands. Unless we gather the Yuehai Navy, we alone can destroy the bandit caves.

It’s beyond our capabilities.”

Shui Rong nodded.

Everyone entered the port, and Shui Rong came to the residence. A middle-aged man with a thin figure and clothed in cloth said: "Your Majesty, the concubine went to Jinling and sent someone to urge the prince to go back."

It turned out that Princess Beijing was overjoyed when she learned that Zhen Xue had given birth to a boy. She traveled thousands of miles from Beijing and went all the way to Jinling to see her grandson.

Shui Rong nodded and said thoughtfully: "After the naval affairs here are over, I will go to Jinling."

I don’t know why, but Xueer became pregnant and had a child since she got drunk that day. This matter is quite suspicious.

According to the imperial doctor, he should not be able to have a child. So, whose child is this?

Shui Rong frowned, thinking in his eyes, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.





Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion

Drawing my attention back to Ningguo Mansion, in the evening, from the front hall to the backyard, the lights are brightly lit, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

In the side room, Jia Heng and Third Sister You finished drinking and exchanged glasses of wine. They stared at Third Sister You, who was suddenly filled with pear blossoms and rain, and said softly: "Good luck, why are you crying?"

Third Sister You frowned, looked at the young man with tears in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Master, do you know how long I have been waiting?"

Jia Heng subconsciously replied: "How long?"

"Three years, master, do you know how I have spent these three years?" Third Sister You said in a trembling voice.

Jia Heng: "..."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to caress Third Sister You's plump and charming face, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said softly: "I've really wronged you."

Third Sister You said with a choked voice: "Many people in the mansion say that my sister and I are vixens, just waiting to seduce the uncle by staying in the Ningguo mansion."

Jia Heng looked at the girl and said seriously: "If you don't talk about anything else, just in terms of appearance, the third sister does have the charming appearance of a vixen."

"Master, who is the vixen?" Sanjie You said shyly, her heart filled with sweetness and shyness.

A vixen should be a vixen, as long as she looks good and attracts him, that's all.

Jia Heng gently held the beauty's slender hand and said with a chuckle: "I told you, just call me uncle. I'm already being called old."

Third Sister You's soft eyes showed attachment, and she said: "Uncle."

Jia Heng took a handkerchief and wiped the tears on Sanjie You's face, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest early. This person who is crying for joy has been seen by others, and it's still a joke."

Third Sister You said softly: "Then I will serve you."

With that said, he came closer and helped Jia Heng undress.

Third Sister You suddenly asked: "Are the uncle and the second sister almost ready?"

Jia Heng said: "As soon as you said that, I suddenly felt that you and the second sister were pitiful. She has been in the house for two or three years."

The You sisters prayed eagerly for more than two years from the 14th year of Chongping to the 16th year of Chongping.

"The uncle clearly knows what the second sister wants, but he still makes the second sister wait." Third Sister You said angrily.

Jia Heng said: "I have been too busy in the past two years, either fighting or busy with officialdom. I really don't have time."

It took two or three years to travel a distance that others would have to travel in 20 to 30 years. Development problems can only be solved through development.

It's almost time now.

"I see that the uncle's thoughts were focused on the two girls Xue Lin at that time. I feel that the two of us have long been the uncle's people, so there is no need to worry about it." Sanjie You said coquettishly, her beautiful hair falling down like a waterfall.

, the slender fingers smeared with red impatiens flower juice are held together, the sandalwood mouth is slightly opened, desperate for survival.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the hibiscus embroidery on the curtain. His eyes were sometimes focused and sometimes scattered, and he whispered: "It's nothing."

I don’t know how long it took, but Jia Heng took Sister You’s bare hand and said, “Okay, it’s getting cold, let’s take a rest early.”

It's late autumn and early winter in Guanzhong. The courtyard is too dry and cold, but the house is warm and humid.

Sanjie You responded shyly, her beautiful and beautiful face had already been dyed with red, like peach blossoms in February, her eyes were full of water, as if there was an insoluble mist, and her two slender snow-white faces were already like vines

Wrapped around in the same way.

Outside the window, the cool autumn wind blew through the green tiles on the house, making a whining sound like resentment and admiration, while the candlestick on the high table and the wax of the red candle trickled down, and another autumn night passed.





The years pass by, and the seasons flow by.

Time flies, and before I know it, more than ten days have passed.

In the past ten days or so, Jia Heng had not only been with Qin Keqing and her daughter in the mansion, but also with Third Sister You. In addition, he had gone to the capital camp to recruit and train a new batch of soldiers from the capital camp.

In the past Northwest War, including the troops and horses lost in Yan Ye's defeat, the Beijing camp lost fifty to sixty thousand people, and there was an urgent need to replenish the number of troops to defend the three auxiliary areas.

In addition to selecting forwards from Henan and other guards, there is also the need to recruit new recruits to gradually replenish the actual quota.

The capital's plans for the Northwest War were gradually being sorted out.

Later, in late October, Jia Heng once again received the mission of Emperor Chongping to "supervise the new policy", and rode southward on a fast horse with the retinue of the royal guards.

Jiangnan, Jinling

Jinyang Princess Mansion

It was in the afternoon, and there was already a lot of coolness in late autumn. The branches and leaves of the trees in the courtyard were withered and yellow, and the leaves had long since withered, creating a desolate and dilapidated scene.

The eldest princess of Jinyang, Chen Li, was sitting on a soft couch not far away, holding a child in her arms, with a bright and moving smile on her plump and graceful face.

At this moment, Princess Xianning entered the hall and said softly: "Auntie, the newspaper said that Mr. Xianning has gone south and has arrived in the past few days."

The eldest princess of Jinyang was pinching her son's cheek and said softly: "Don't worry about him. If he doesn't come, we can get along."

These days, her children are everything to her. Well, it doesn't matter if she has a man or not.

Princess Xianning smiled lightly and came forward and said softly: "Auntie, the baby hasn't been given a name yet. I need to ask for a name when my husband comes back."

The Duke of Jinyang said softly: "I'm not in a hurry to name you. I'll bring the newspaper to my palace for a look."

After saying that, he handed his son to the nanny beside him.

Suddenly, the swaddled baby went from laughing to crying.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said with a mixture of joy and annoyance: "This child always pesters me."

"This is just like having a closer relationship with mother." The nanny said with a smile.

Princess Xianning handed over the residence report, found a embroidered pier nearby and sat down, saying softly: "I didn't expect that sir, I would be granted the title of first-class Duke."

The eldest princess of Jinyang took the residence newspaper, looked down at it with beautiful eyes, read it quickly, and said: "This residence newspaper has been around for a while, so it will be here soon."

Princess Xianning said: "The imperial court said that the New Deal and new laws are popular in Henan and other places. This time, the speed of implementation of the New Deal will be accelerated. Anhui will also join the New Deal. Taking advantage of this time, we can clear the land and collect taxes next year."

Under the willow eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her crystal clear eyes were as full as water, and she said softly: "The results over there in Henan are indeed quite remarkable."

At this time, the female officer Lianxue entered the hall and said: "Your Highness, the King of Chu has handed over the invitation and said that he would come to visit His Highness."

"No." The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, with a hint of impatience in her tone.

This evil-minded nephew, who didn't go home to stay with Zi Yu, was probably here to see her because of the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

She originally thought she was lucky enough to have a son, but she didn't know that Zhen Qing actually gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. It was really...

How did the twins of dragon and phoenix come about?

Well, the beauty is still a little envious in her heart.

But then I thought about it, it would be more risky to have a baby if it were a twin and a twin, but I no longer felt so envious.

Lianxue said: "Then I will send someone to tell him."

After Lianxue left, Princess Xianning looked at the eldest princess of Jinyang who had already taken the baby from the nanny, and said: "Auntie, the Jiangnan Navy has returned to Hong Kong to rest in the past few days. Brother King Chu wants to provide for the care of the imperial court."

?”

The eldest princess of Jinyang whispered: "He has obtained the imperial decree from the imperial court. Your father has recently made great use of the vassal kings."

As the King of Wei marched into the military base, the King of Chu was also temporarily entrusted with the important task of providing pensions and condolences on behalf of the imperial court to the Jiangnan Navy who had been away for more than two months.

The King of Chu naturally liked this job, so he could take advantage of the situation to get in touch with the Jiangnan navy. Shui Rong was originally the brother-in-law of the King of Chu, but now he was the first to get the most advantage.

At this time, Li Chanyue entered the house. The girl was petite, wearing a pink dress, not wearing a woman's hair bun, and the airy bangs in front of her forehead showed a bit of innocence and naiveness. She asked delicately: "Mother, little girl

Is Mr. Jia arriving soon?"

The eldest princess of Jinyang had a bright smile on her plump face and said softly: "It should be in the next few days."

Then he asked: "Has the batch of brocades prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the New Year been delivered to Beijing?"

Li Chanyue nodded and said: "We have already loaded the boat, so we won't delay the palace's New Year celebrations."

Every New Year, the imperial palace consumes a large amount of brocade cloth, as well as various New Year's products as tribute, which are transferred to the capital.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Chanyue, you should also take a good rest these days, be careful not to get exhausted."

Li Chanyue blinked her eyes and said softly: "I'm not tired."

My mother still misses her.

Princess Xianning held Li Chanyue's hand, her beautiful face full of smiles, and said: "Then when sir comes, let him treat Chanyue well."

When Li Chanyue heard this, her petite cheeks were as red as smoke and she said shyly: "Cousin is talking nonsense again."

While the two were talking, Princess Xianning's personal female officer Zhixia ran over from outside and said in surprise: "Your Highness, Duke Wei is here."

Nominally, Jia Heng is the consort of Princess Xianning, the official wife of the Ming matchmaker, and also the minor princess.

When Jia Heng came to Jinling City, he immediately came to the Princess of Jinyang's mansion to meet Princess Xianning.

At this moment, on the street outside the Jinyang Princess's mansion, Jia Heng was riding on his horse, holding the saddle, looking up at the plaque hanging on the gate, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

We will meet Jinyang mother and son again soon. I wonder how Jinyang and the child are doing?

Chen Xiao urged: "Stop standing and go in."

Jia Heng glanced at Chen Xiao, then got off his horse, threw the horse's reins to the boy, and quickly climbed up the stone steps and entered the mansion.

Chen Xiao pressed the embroidered spring knife tightly on her waist and quickly followed.

Entering the backyard hall, he happened to see Lianxue face to face. He nodded and asked: "Where is Your Highness?"

Lianxue said softly: "Your Highness is in the back compartment."

Jia Heng didn't say much, and quickly came to the hall. As soon as he came in, he saw Princess Xianning coming towards her with a surprise on her face: "Sir, you are here."

In Li Chanyue's dazzling starry eyes, waves of longing rippled, and she asked: "Mr. Xiao Jia, you are here."

Jia Heng said: "Xianning, Chanyue, long time no see."

They were separated for more than two months. They were newlyweds and they were inseparable, but something happened in the northwest.

As he said that, he walked closer and held the hands of two girls, one tall and one petite. Well, they were both married to the fair matchmaker, so there was no need to worry about the jokes from the nuns and female officials outside.

Princess Xianning looked at the girl with a dusty face, held Jia Heng's hand tightly with her backhand, and said, "Sir, you have worked hard on this journey."

Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue entered the wing room. They saw the eldest princess of Jinyang, dressed in a gorgeous dress, sitting on a soft couch covered with blankets. The beauty had a towering bun, like a peony flower with national beauty and fragrance.

She has jade skin, and under her slender willow eyebrows, her phoenix eyes are bright and clear, and she is holding a swaddled baby in her arms.

At this moment, the female officials and nuns in the side room had withdrawn, and only Princess Jinyang, Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue were watching.

Jia Heng called softly: "Li'er, are you okay?"

As he said this, he sat close to her and met the beauty's eyes. Their eyes, filled with deep longing, were entangled with each other, almost drawing attention to themselves.

The eldest princess of Jinyang, Yong Li, has a plump and beautiful face as bright as mist, her beautiful eyes are full of smiles, and her heart is full of sweetness and joy. She said softly: "I am doing well, now I have added this little guy to my family."

Hearing this, Jia Heng smiled, looked at the swaddled baby, and felt a sense of blood connection coming to his heart, and said warmly: "The baby is almost one month old."

"The full moon is still a few days away. You came just in time to not delay the child's full moon wine." The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly with a smile.

Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "Li'er, let me hug him."

With that said, he took the infant baby from the hands of Princess Jinyang.
