Chapter 1135 Jia Heng: I am happy here and don’t think about the Song Dynasty.
Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng and Zhen Lan were warm to each other for a while, and planned to call Chen Xiao and quickly go to the eldest princess's house.
In the past few days, he hadn't had time to spend time with Yuanchun, Jinyang and the children, so he was really panicking.
Jia Heng left the wing, and after walking not far, a familiar tall figure appeared in front of him, it was Xiaoxiao.
Jia Heng asked: "Why are you so mysterious again? Didn't you go to rest?"
A cold light flashed in Chen Xiaoqing's eyes, and she whispered: "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Jia Heng's face was startled for a moment, and Qing Zhi was talking about Zhen Lan, saying: "Although Zhen Lan has a deep scheming mind, her nature is not bad. She can be trained and trained later."
Zhen Lan still has the innocence and innocence of a girl, as well as her longing and fantasy for love, and has not yet turned dark.
Chen Xiao glanced at the young man and said a lot of other things, "As long as you know what's going on."
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao and said warmly: "Besides, even if something is really wrong, isn't there someone watching?"
Chen Xiao paused slightly, snorted coldly, and said: "When the time comes, I will help you deal with it, don't feel bad."
Jia Heng's heart skipped a beat and he said softly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Xiaoxiao seems to regard herself as his main palace, but after careful calculation, Xiaoxiao is still the one who accompanies him the most among so many girls.
Jia Heng whispered: "Let's go to the eldest princess's house."
In the study, the inner room was completely peaceful, with only the charming smell and the scent of lit sandalwood rising up and filling the room, making people feel trance-like and intoxicated.
Zhen Xi's fine eyebrows frowned slightly, Zhong Lingyu's beautiful eyebrows looked at Zhen Lan curiously, and whispered: "Third sister, how are you?"
Just now she heard that the third sister didn't seem to be particularly uncomfortable.
Zhen Lan rolled her eyes at Zhen Xi and said angrily: "How about what? Don't ask, it will be your turn next time."
Under Zhen Xi's curved willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were covered with a hazy mist, her beautiful cheeks were slightly flushed, and she said softly: "Brother Heng said I'm still young."
Zhen Lan's eyes were dim and she whispered: "Sister, from now on Brother Heng and I will be husband and wife."
Some things are different whether they have happened or not. She felt that from that moment on, her fate and that of Brother Heng would be entangled for the rest of their lives.
Zhen Xi was in her own thoughts, and almost without thinking, she said: "Husband and wife are one? Sister Lan hasn't married Brother Heng yet?"
Zhen Lan: "..."
"Hmph, I won't talk about my status all day long and cause trouble and make people laugh." Zhen Lan said softly, her crystal clear jade face as cold as frost.
Brother Heng is a person who values love and justice. She doesn't need to mention her status to get it.
Zhen Xi looked at Zhen Lan, who looked confident, and said warmly: "Sister Lan, can Brother Heng really be named the county king in the future?"
Zhen Lan said softly: "With Brother Heng's literary, Taoist and military strategies, this is all a matter of time."
Zhen Xi said quietly: "What if it can't be sealed?"
"If...well, there are so many ifs." Zhen Lan was a little impatient and said warmly: "Okay, help me up quickly, I have to take a bath."
It was just that the girl had just stood up with her arms raised, something seemed to have affected her. She frowned and hissed, lowering her eyes to look at the dazzling red. She quickly took Zhen Xi's bare hand and said shyly: "Go get the scissors."
Zhen Xi was stunned for a moment, her eyes flicked across the sheets, her heart beat wildly, and she immediately left with a blush on her face.
…
…
Princess Jinyang's Mansion, in the wing room in the backyard——
The eldest princess Chen Li was sitting on the embroidered pier, with a cradle beside her. She lowered her eyes and looked at the infant in the swaddling clothes. A sweet smile appeared on her bright and beautiful face, and she whispered:
"Baoer."
Although she has the famous name Jia Jie, the eldest princess is still called by her nickname.
The baby stretched out two white and chubby little hands and looked at his mother with a smile.
Suddenly, the eldest princess of Jinyang was so cute that she bowed her head and kissed the baby and said, "Mother's heart melts."
This is the best gift Ziyu has given her in his life.
Yuanchun smiled and said softly: "Your Highness, the list of gifts recently listed by the Weaving Bureau has been drawn up."
In the past few days, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the infant baby whenever she had time, as if she never got tired of it.
The eldest princess of Jinyang chuckled, her voice soft and soft, as if she was worried that the child would be frightened by being too loud, and said: "You and Lianxue can discuss how to deal with it."
At this moment, a female official entered the hall and said softly: "Elder Princess, Duke Wei is here."
As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess of Jinyang was quite surprised, and she said softly: "He is here, Yuanchun, you can welcome him on my behalf."
Because the beauty was in confinement, she couldn't bear the wind and couldn't go to meet Jia Heng.
Jia Heng was sitting in the hall now, drinking tea and talking with Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue. Song Yan was sitting not far away.
Song Yan was in the Ningguo Mansion a few days ago, playing with Zhen Xi and Xiao Xichun, but today she sent her mother over to Princess Jinyang.
Princess Xianning joked a little and said, "I thought your husband would be too happy to miss Shu in Ningguo Mansion."
I haven't come here in the past few days. Do I really have to go through one cycle before I can come back again?
But she and Chan Yue are the real wives.
Jia Heng said: "Something happened at home these days, which tied up my hands and feet."
He turned to look at Li Chanyue and said, "Chanyue, I haven't seen you for a few days."
Li Chanyue's eyes were filled with light and she whispered: "Mr. Xiao Jia."
Princess Xianning said softly: "I heard from Master Xiahou today that my mother is going south from Shenjing. Does Sir know?"
Jia Heng pretended to be surprised and whispered: "Is this happening?"
Princess Xianning's clear eyes flashed under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, and she couldn't help but snorted coldly in her heart.
Just pretend, sir!
As the governor of Jinyi, how could you not know that your mother is taking a boat to go south? Don't you have another idea?
Jia Heng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Your sister Xiaoxiao said before that this seems to be the case."
I am happy here and don’t think about the Song Dynasty.
Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, my aunt is taking care of the children, please come with me."
Jia Heng responded softly, stood up and walked to the backyard.
On the corridor, I felt my eyes light up, and I saw Yuanchun, a plump beauty, like a begonia flower with full petals on a tree.
"Sister." Jia Heng called.
Yuanchun said happily: "Brother Heng, are you here?"
Jia Heng nodded, looked at the plump beauty with warm eyes, and whispered: "Come and take a look."
As they talked, they walked towards the backyard.
At this moment, it is the evening of autumn, and the sunset is as gorgeous as brocade clouds, spreading across the western sky. However, except for some trees such as pines, cypresses, and hollies, most of the trees in the courtyard are decayed and withered, with bare branches and branches.
There was a rustling sound in the cold wind.
In the back room and the wing room, the interior is as warm as spring and the aroma is intoxicating.
The eldest princess of Jinyang sat on a pearwood chair covered with soft mattresses. She raised her eyes to look at the young man. Under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were slightly moist. She called out and said: "Ziyu, you are here."
?”
The child's father has finally arrived.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Come and see you and the child."
At this moment, the female officer had already been screened out, leaving only a few people talking.
While talking, Jia Heng came closer, held the beauty's slender catkin in his hand, and said warmly: "Jinyang, how has the child been these past few days?"
"The child is inside, eating well and sleeping soundly." Princess Jinyang said with a chuckle, holding Jia Heng's hand and entering the inner compartment.
Jia Heng walked around a screen and came to the cradle. He stared at the baby lying in the cradle and the baby. He couldn't help but feel happy. He pinched the baby's face and said, "Jinyang, he rushed
I'm laughing."
Princess Xianning chuckled and said in a low voice: "It seems that the fragrance of makeup and powder these days has diluted the fierce aura of swordsmanship on Mr.'s body."
The eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't help laughing, a smile appeared on her soft and graceful face, and she said softly: "I haven't seen your husband in Xianning for the past few days, but you have the attitude of a resentful woman in the palace."
Princess Xianning's beautiful face turned slightly red and she whispered: "Auntie."
Jia Heng gently held the little guy's chubby little hand, and felt a warm and soft feeling in the little hand. It seemed that a bridge of blood connection was born in the hearts of the two of them. The little guy had a small nose, red lips, and pink sculptures.
Yuzhuo, very cute.
Jia Heng said softly: "Jie'er, let daddy hug you."
As he said that, he reached out to pick up the swaddled baby, and looking at the baby whose features and eyes looked very much like his own, Jia Heng felt a sense of joy in his heart.
This is the fruit of his love with Jinyang.
Seeing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang not far away could not help but show sweetness and joy on her snow-skinned face.
Jia Heng hugged her for a while, kissed her, and said, "Jie'er."
Then he put the swaddled baby back in the cradle, raised his eyes to look at the beauty, and said, "I'm going to Suzhou Mansion in the next two days."
The eldest princess of Jinyang tucked the baby into a quilt, then turned her face and said softly: "Suzhou Prefecture has outstanding people, you can go out more."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Go to Suzhou to have a look. In addition, we should also go to Anhui to have a look."
We had previously sent someone to Anqing Mansion to inform Anhui Governor Li Shouzhong that he would be here soon.
The beauty's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "Then be careful and send more guards. You don't know how many people you have offended now. Those people cannot defeat you on the battlefield, and they may not use evil means to murder you."
Jia Heng said: "I have always been vigilant, and you and the children should also be careful."
In fact, during Jinyang's confinement period, he also wanted to spend more time with his mother and son, but every time they got together less and separated more.
"Xia Houying and the people in Jinyi Mansion are secretly protecting her, so nothing will happen." Princess Jinyang said softly.
While the couple was talking, Princess Jinyang and Jia Heng came out of the baby room, walked slowly into the hall, stared at the young man, and said with a smile: "You should stay with Xianning and Chanyue more, they can't see each other."
When it comes to you, why not go to Suzhou Mansion together so that we can have someone to take care of you on the way, and it can’t be all about official business."
Hearing this, Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, this is not a war. Chan Yue and I will go with you to Suzhou Mansion. Well, by the way, cousin Yan'er will also go with us."
As he said that, he looked at Song Yan who was following him, his eyes flashed, Yan'er's matter could not be delayed any longer.
Otherwise, if the mother goes south, something might happen again.
Song Yan was stunned in place, looking at the young man in shock, feeling inexplicably surprised.
Apparently, the eldest princess’s child belongs to Brother Heng?
But this... isn't this too ridiculous?
If she knows such a secret, she won't be killed and silenced by Brother Heng, right?
The girl was thinking wildly in her heart, and she gradually tightened her hand on the handkerchief. Her oval face, which looked like the facial features of Empress Song, was covered with a thoughtful look, and she was frowning in deep thought.
Li Chanyue took Song Yan's little hand, looked at the girl with a gloomy face with her bright eyes, and said with concern: "Sister Yan'er, are you okay?"
Just now, my cousin didn't push away sister Yan'er. Could it be that she doesn't want to avoid cousin Yan'er.
Song Yan quickly shook her head and lowered her head. A trace of panic appeared on her petite and bright face.
Jia Heng looked at Song Yan and said warmly: "Then let's go together. Suzhou has beautiful scenery. Let's go take a look around."
Princess Jinyang said softly: "Speaking of which, it's time for dinner. Lianxue, go and tell the kitchen to prepare some food."
Lianxue responded with a smile.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "For the New Year at the end of the year, I want to go back to Beijing."
Jia Heng said: "Just go back when you go back."
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned slightly and said softly: "I don't know what the queen mother will say about such a big change in my palace."
"Well, let's just say that the soil and water in the south support people. I have been away for a year and have gained a lot of weight due to the delicious food and drinks." Jia Heng said softly.
The eldest princess of Jinyang's beautiful eyes flashed, she rolled her eyes at the young man, and whispered: "That's nonsense, how can the queen mother hide it with her fiery eyes?"
I really don’t know how I will tell my mother that she has given her a grandson after I return to Beijing.
Jia Heng asked worriedly: "What should we do?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang pursed her pink lips and said, "We'll see when the time comes. It's impossible to hide it forever."
The queen mother has always loved her, so she shouldn't be too angry, right?
…
…
Taiwan Island, Anping
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one flat road that has been built to reach Tainan. The steep city is built on the mountain, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. At this moment, there are cannons and blunderbuss placed on the city, and the dark entrance seems to threaten the distance.
In the magnificent castle built, a hall in the middle was crowded and noisy.
Putmans, the Dutch Governor in Taiwan, raised his eyes to look at the group of pirates galloping on the sea below, waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please be quiet."
This Dutchman, who has dealt with the Chinese for a long time, not only speaks fluent Chinese, but is also a China expert.
"Now Duke Wei of the Han Dynasty has come from Shenjing and wants to attack us. If you have any countermeasures, you might as well speak freely and brainstorm." Putmans said.
At this time, Zhong Bin stood up. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties with a rough face. A large black mole on his cheekbone was particularly eye-catching. He said: "Your Majesty, instead of being beaten passively, why don't we
Take the initiative, and now that the Han Dynasty wants to attack the island, we will land to harass the Han people and let them know how powerful we are."
As soon as this statement came out, some of the pirate leaders present immediately echoed, seeming to agree with Zhong Bin's words.
Yang Lu smiled and said: "What Mr. Zhong said is too reckless. The Han people are even more superior on land. Even though we come and go like the wind on the sea, this kind of venting anger will only anger the Han people more, and
Many of the brothers on the island are still related to Fuzhou, Zhangquan and Fuzhou. If they commit banditry along the coast, they will be stabbed in the back."
"Then what should we do? Wait for the Han people to mobilize heavy troops to attack the island?" Zhong Bin raised his eyebrows, shouted coldly, and said unconvinced.
Not only was Yang Lu wary of Liu Xiang's expanding power, but Zhong Bin, who only followed Liu Xiang's lead, was also at odds with the three Yang brothers.
At this moment, Yan Qing, the leader of the Sihai Gang, and Shangguan Rui, the leader of the Nujiao Gang, stared at the arguing people, their faces solemn, and they didn't know what they were planning.
Yang Ce turned his gaze to Liu Xiang, who was standing beside him, and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Liu's position is?"
Liu Xiang said: "My Lord Governor, to fight against the Han army, we should focus on both offense and defense. We will integrate all the fishing boats and fire guns and fight the Han army on the ocean. As long as we defeat the Han army, we will be on the island.
Stand firm."
Putelais did not refute Liu Xiang's words this time. He looked around and said, "Everyone, we are facing a formidable enemy. The time has come for us to overcome the difficulties together."
Liu Xiang got up and said loudly: "I propose that in the name of the former Ming Dynasty, we form a Fengming rebel army to fight for heaven, integrate all naval personnel and boatmen, and fight the Han people to the death! In addition, the Governor has promised that he will
We will provide you with fire blunderbuss and equipment. As you all saw in the previous water battle with the Han people, the Han people have no way to do anything to us at sea."
"Qianming?" Yang Lu frowned, with hesitation in his eyes.
Yang Kuo sneered and said sarcastically: "Master Liu Da, this is a bit of a joke, isn't it? Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty has been dead for more than a hundred years, what are we doing under his banner? To summon the souls of the dead?"
"There are still many people in Fujian, Zhejiang and other places who miss the benevolence of the former Ming Dynasty. If we can raise the banner of the former Ming Dynasty, we can gather people's hearts. Moreover, our island of Taiwan is an independent entity. In the future, we can create a kingdom and counterattack the mainland." Liu Xiang
explained.
The so-called long time will form a filter. Although the Qian Ming Dynasty was innocent, as time goes by, the people of Fujian and Zhejiang who live a hard life will still occasionally miss the prosperous days of the Qian Ming Dynasty.
Liu Xiang glanced at everyone present and said loudly: "Everyone, now is a good time for us to set up a flag of righteousness and resist the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty won the northwest battle this year, it lost 100,000 elite troops in the first battle. In addition,
The war with the Jurchens years ago cost a lot of money and food. It was at a time when the country's power was declining. If we start an uprising in the southeast, the Han people will definitely be tired of dealing with it."
His lifelong wish was to build a maritime empire based on the big island and control maritime trade, but the first step was to get rid of the influence of the Dutch.
Yang Lu's eyes flashed under his thick eyebrows, and he asked: "It makes sense for Master Liu to say so. It's just about how to issue orders and coordinate the rebel army."
"Liu is not talented. He took it upon himself to fight against the rebel army. He also asked Yang Da and the two leaders to serve as deputy marshals." Liu Xiang said loudly: "Everyone here is a general. As long as we repel the encirclement and suppression of the army,
, we can attract people from Fujian, Zhejiang and other places to come and join us enthusiastically.”
Everyone present heard the words, whispered to each other, and kept talking.
At this time, Shi Tingzhu, who came with the Yang Lu brothers, stood up and said loudly: "What Liu Da said in a loud voice is that although the Han Dynasty has won the northwest war, it has resorted to military warfare and imposed countless labor services, and the people have already suffered terribly.
In other words, many officials also had a grudge against the emperor of the Han Dynasty because of the New Deal. It was the time when our generation was raising troops to punish the people. Not long ago, my regent sent a flying pigeon to convey a letter, saying that if all the generals can fight against the Han Dynasty together,
We, the Qing Dynasty, will also dispatch naval forces from North Korea to provide support along the northern coast."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was slightly shaken and looked at Shi Tingzhu in surprise.
During this period, after Jia Heng's victory, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also experiencing turmoil and internal strife.
After the internal fighting between Dorgon and Hauge, the two sides basically reached a compromise, that is, Hauge would lead the Korean Navy southward and harass the coasts of Shandong and Jiangsu. If he made great achievements, he could be appointed as the regent.
If there is no progress, the matter of assisting the government will not be mentioned again.
Dorgon's strategy was not only to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, but also for the sake of the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
Shi Tingzhu said loudly: "You guys, we can no longer let the Han people defeat them one by one. Especially this Duke of Wei, who defeated Heshuote in the first battle in the northwest and Zunggar in the second battle. He is so good at fighting. If we don't stop it, we will wait until the Han people recuperate."
Come here, the national strength is restored, and we are conquering from all directions, we can only surrender to the Han court, and now we are contacting all parties to make the Han court tired of dealing with it."
This statement immediately aroused everyone's agreement.
For a time, the pirate leaders on the entire island seemed to be infected by this emotion and their moods were boiling.
At this point, the pirate forces entrenched in the big island gathered more than a dozen forces, large and small, to form the Fengming Rebel Army, with Liu Xiang as the general marshal and Yang Lu as the deputy marshal, and began to build fortifications on Kinmen and other islands.
