The sky was overcast and there was no rain, and the autumn wind blew the camphor, elm and sycamore trees planted around the barracks, making rustling sounds from time to time.
At this moment, inside the Chinese military barracks -
Henan capital commander Qu Guang, as well as generals Cai Quan and Xie Zaiyi of Guoyong camp gathered in the Chinese army barracks. After listening to the report of the generals and scouts, most of their faces showed solemn expressions.
Again, the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps have not been newly trained for a long time, and the infantry and cavalry have been mobilized and supplemented by the soldiers and horses of the Henan Dusi, so their combat strength is still considerable.
As for the navy's combat power, it would be difficult for them to go head-to-head with the menacing Japanese invaders and the Korean navy.
There are 6,000 naval forces in the Jiangbei camp plus more than 10,000 naval forces in the Zhenzhu army that was destroyed by Zhen Zhu. The latter, in particular, had lost seven to eight thousand in the first battle and has yet to recover.
It was precisely because Dodo saw this that he dared to be so unscrupulous. The Korean Navy in Jeolla Province, North Korea, was indeed a very high-level navy and was not a weakling.
"The Marquis of Annan has arrived." Just as Generals Qu Guang and Xie Cai were discussing the deployment, the captain outside the military tent called loudly.
When the generals in the Chinese army barracks heard this, their expressions paused slightly, and they exchanged glances with each other. They were all secretly on guard. However, in a second thought, they all knew that it was reasonable for Annan Hou to come to inquire about the situation at this time.
At that time, Hong Yi and Wen Yan also came over. Jing Yi smiled calmly on his face and said in a serious voice: "The food outside the house is spoiled, so we can use some together."
Ye Zhen Jingyi nodded and said: "It's not bad to delay it for a while, but the public opinion in the city will be in an uproar."
Xiaoxiao may have discovered it, and then thought that I had no objections, and wanted to arouse my self-reliance.
Moreover, both the hairpin and the hairdresser are there, and the waiters are also bad at unlocking the shepherd... At this moment, in the small camp of the Chinese army
The embroidery needle in Princess Jia Hengqing's hand stopped, the jade face on her eyebrows was lifted up, and she said softly: "I will be busy with military affairs tomorrow, why did I come here today? I will wait a little longer.
It’s still too early to take a rest.”
Jing Yi smiled and said, "It's not like that, but it's all the same. I brought some barbarians from Haojing that time. Sister Yun will take a look at them."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Qu Guang, Jia Hengdao and Zhen Lan, who were making a lot of noise due to suicide in the military tent, changed slightly, and then they turned happy.
At this moment, Daiyu looked at this dreamy face. The starry eyes on her eyebrows were covered with a layer of mist for some reason, and her nose was slightly sour.
It was already evening, and Hongyi Gaoli ordered the chef to prepare meals and entertain Wen Yan and Li Wen who were visiting. Li Qi was not yet the Marquis.
Princess Jia Hengqing's charming eyes showed deep thoughts. After a while, she said in a serious voice: "This palace will tell the emperor that the new salt method needs to be adjusted and corrected during the trial implementation. It is necessary to make an urgent decision."
Urgency is what matters."
No matter what, Haimen Xiaojie actually defeated Nanzhen one after another, but Yong Xiaojia still can't expect to win.
You can get more conclusive information by asking the parties involved for verification.
Just when all the orioles were enjoying themselves, suddenly a grandma from the backyard came running out of breath and said, "Grandma You, Miss Lin, Master Heng is back."
Xiangyun asked in surprise: "Where is brother Heng now?"
Cao said: "I was wasted on the road for a long time. In fact, I was in Haojing for a long time."
"There's no other connection, seven or eight days?" Ye Zhen frowned, with little doubt in his mind.
Cao nodded and said: "With the combat power of Cai Quan in the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River, he may not be a match for Cai Quan in Nanzhen and North Korea. If you want to completely wipe out the invading enemies, you need to make some arrangements."
"Sir." Princess Xianning was embraced by Mrs. Cao, her delicate body trembled slightly, her bright eyes were as full as water above her slightly lowered eyelashes, and the grievance hidden in her heart just now dissipated.
Mrs. Cao did not send any more gifts. The two eldest girls hated those formalities, and they were spoiled when they were having a personal relationship with Yuanchun and Jinyang. Li Chanyue: "???"
Princess Jia Hengqing was curious and asked in surprise: "Ziyu, the naval cannon is really not that powerful?"
Xianning has been following me since before the Henan War, and he did not shy away from my affection in the palace, so his reputation has little or no impact.
For you and me, it's all a matter of doing less and making more merit, alas...
Ye Zhen thought for a while, looked at Zhen Lan and Baochai, and said: "Now that the enemy is approaching, people in Jinling City are panicking. I would like to first mobilize some soldiers and horses from the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River to consolidate the defense in Jinling City and help the Jinling government maintain law and order."
, General Qu, what do you think?"
But even that kind of merit was still enough for Emperor Chongping to marry a princess and princess, because it was difficult to block the mouth of Tian Youyou.
Before receiving the flying pigeon message from Jinling, Jing Yi and Zhen Xi led a small group of cavalry from Nanchang Prefecture towards Jinling on slow horses, while the mules and horses escorted the muskets and naval cannons.
The team was still retreating slowly towards Jinling under the official road.
Princess Jing Yishi warned: "He has prepared badly for this battle. He will definitely win a small victory and marry Chanyue and Xianning home earlier. You two are also older, so you can always win."
It’s like that, people want to make fun of Tianjia.”
Yes, why did you lose your hand?
Even Qu Guangjing Yishi breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
Ms. Cao glanced at the beauty helplessly and said, "You still want the people in heaven to chat more, so that the two of you can become a good story."
As time passed, the news that the Cao family returned to Jinling and later went to Xiaoying in Jiangnan gradually spread to the city of Jinling, and the people who were originally worried about An were finally calmed down.
Ye Zhen looked solemn, silent for a moment, and asked, "When will Yong Xiaojia come back?"
Ms. Cao said: "I bought you a few gifts. Are they local specialties from Haojing?"
At first glance, I knew that most of them were girls from the Xue family. After saying that, I told all the details about what I was going to do next to Hao Jing, and I didn't hide anything from Jin Yang.
Tan Chun's bright eyes were crystal clear and he said loudly: "Brother Heng, please go."
As Cao turned her eyes, she turned her gaze to the Feng Hou aside. Compared with the lingering affection in Daiyu's eyes, her moist apricot eyes were somewhat restrained, hiding warm and severe thoughts.
Princess Jia Hengqing frowned slightly and asked, "I heard that 70,000 people came to Nanzhen that time. He has little chance of winning?"
I'm afraid Miss Xue and Miss Lin are also with me.
That is the thought of some senior officials in Jinling City at this moment.
Although the two of them had a well-off family background, they would always be short of those jewels, but it was a gift from the Cao family. Especially since it was the first time that the Cao family gave Li Chanyue something besides the "handkerchief", it was of no great significance.
same.
"Mr. Da Jia." Li Chanyue's beautiful eyebrows were slightly lowered, her pink cheeks turned red with shame, and you just pretended to have seen her.
Compared with the people in Ningguo Mansion, they were less observant and dared to take Chai Dai into their arms in front of everyone. Now that they reunited with Princess Jing Yishi, there were no other people in the attic at the moment, so they didn't have so few scruples.
"Brother Heng."
Xiangyun asked curiously: "Brother Heng, did he encounter anything bad when he went to Haojing?"
"stop."
Princess Xianning didn't think so little. On her beautiful eyebrows with willow leaves, her clear eyes were full of longing. She traced her face that she thought about day and night, and murmured: "Mr."
Mrs. Cao let go of Princess Jing Yishi's waist, looked at Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, her eyes were warm, and said: "Xianning, Chanyue, I haven't been seen for a while."
There was a brief silence in the Chinese military barracks.
Mrs. Cao smiled, then looked at Feng Hou and said: "That time I went to Haojing, I actually didn't stay very long. I was mainly busy with official business. I met Xue Shibo and Jingyi's sister in Fucheng, Guangzhou. Then
We came back together this time, you should have arrived in two or eight days."
Mr. Cao was also a bad boy. He turned his eyes towards Annan, who was sitting first on the table, and immediately fled into the forest like a frightened deer, leaving only the swaying leaves of grass behind.
But there is an uncontrollable surge of sweetness in my heart, hum, it’s not bad to let...you see.
Jing Yi's face paused slightly, with surprise in his eyes, "Feng Hou, why are you here too?"
Maybe, you are the one with the least spare time. "Here comes the young master."
After all, considering the small number of people and the fact that her mood had just cooled down for a period of time, Daiyu did not make too many mistakes.
Now I can take care of everything, or I can say that I can stand clearly behind the stage, otherwise I am in charge of both the army and the wealth.
Ye Zhen went straight to the point and asked: "General Qu, General Xie, now the enemy is provoking in the sea area, and the pirates are approaching to invade. I don't know how the Jiangnan small camp should respond to the enemy's strategy?"
Ms. Cao asked: "Eighth sister, where is the little sister?"
The jade face is as crimson as the clouds, and the heart is pounding. Chanyue and Xianning are still there.
Jing Yishi said: "Well, you and Uncle Xue will arrive in a few days.
If the young lady is not free during those two days, she cannot go back outside the house."
Originally, that beauty was disgusted with the Song sisters. Although Gao Li accepted Xianning who came out halfway, she didn't have any grudge deep down in her heart.
Mr. Cao sat down under the nanmu chair, served the tea, and said with a heavy smile: "Master, please drink tea."
After Zhen Lan came to the hanging map of the Jiangnan coastal areas, she introduced the enemy's situation in a complex way and said: "Commander Jie, the enemy invaders are now inviting battles in Haimen and other places. The guards from Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture also reported that a small group of pirates are harassing the coast.
.”
Princess Xianning saw a hint of sadness on Mr. Cao's face and said solemnly: "Sir, you are just worried. You and Chanyue can't wait for you."
In fact, Yang Guochang's position is not yet stable, and it is not Qi Kun who can take over as the leader of the Qi Party. Now he needs to accumulate political capital for himself.
Mr. Hou Luoluo Xiaofang looked timidly at Mrs. Cao, and said with a heavy smile: "I was chatting at home, so I came over to take a look. I just told sister Tanchun how to use troops in the small camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei now, Brother Heng.
He must have just returned from Jiangnan Xiaoying."
Everyone laughed loudly, the lights swaying in the wind, and the pleasant and warm fragrance in the room seemed to be blown away by the laughter.
She could only wait until later to meet Yuanchun and Jinyang. Princess Jingyishi's delicate body trembled slightly, and she was in a daze for a moment.
Zijuan stared at Daiyu's expression from the side, and pulled Fairy Jiangzhu's sleeve at the right time, signaling her girl to restrain herself so that no one would notice.
The jade feet on Princess Xianning's green skirt paused slightly, and the bright eyes above her beautiful eyebrows showed a hint of anger, bullying you again!
Hou Yezhen said: "Go to Tongzhou Weiport to check if necessary." Ye Zhen nodded, looked at a few people, and asked: "General Qu, have all the letters for help from other provinces been sent out?"
This man who has served with many years of military service has returned. It is indeed advisable for Jing Yi to go to war. Waiting for reinforcements is the next best thing.
The Cao family also assigned tasks to the generals in the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River. Chief Jin Yang led a group of soldiers and horses to Songjiang Prefecture and Taicang Prefecture to mobilize and deal with the Japanese invaders.
Qingwen said: "Sir, Miss Eight, Miss Yun, and Miss Bao are all over there."
Because Mrs. Cao was at home, whether it was Wen Yan or Jing Yi, several people came over to visit her, and most of them were kept as guests in Ningguo Mansion.
Princess Jia Hengqing let go of Mr. Cao, stared at her face as beautiful as snow, smiled and said, "You're back?"
Mrs. Cao nodded, then got up and left Ningguo Mansion.
As he said that, he looked through the window and saw a man in a colorful brocade robe carrying a lantern. He was led by a male officer to the attic. The lantern under the corridor was bright and dim. On this stern brow, his eyes were sharp and
fierce.
Unfortunately, at that time, everyone in the hall was fixated on this young man, and no one could blame anyone.
Princess Jia Hengqing put down the embroidery fabric in her hand, looked at Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue who had already put down the chess pieces and got up, and said loudly: "Here we come."
And that sentence seemed to press the pause button on the vivid and beautiful scene. Many men in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at this nanny.
Listening to several people talking about their future marriage, it is possible to say that they are disappointed.
Mrs. Cao and Qingwen went to the side room where they usually bathed, took a bath, changed into a jade-colored brocade robe, and then left for the front house.
Lian Xue screened the male officer as he entered. There were only a few people left in the attic for a while. But for a while, few dared to make mistakes.
Brother Heng, I feel a little haggard.
Jing Yi was silent for a moment and said: "Jing Yi, according to the instructions given by Commander Jie after he left Beijing, the real Gao Linan has made a comeback. Cai Quan is temporarily going to the sea to meet the enemy, and cooperates with Yanjiang to drive them away on foot and cavalry, waiting for reinforcements and Commander Ji to return.
.”
Even if we are really defeated, it will give us time to escape. Of course, we haven't seen each other for so long that we can't help ourselves.
Zhen Xi's face was frosty, and she said "hmm" lightly, then walked separately at the Moon Gate, and then headed to the courtyard where she lived.
Well, actually it’s not that there is no intimacy.
I later discovered the problem. The man I provoked was too low-status, but his title was too high. I needed some planning.
Mrs. Cao took out another one and said, "Chanyue, give that one to him."
That time I did not intend to annihilate Nongzhen's servant army, Cai Quan of Korea, in one fell swoop. It was a threat that could influence the Han Dynasty to withdraw from Liaodong by sea.
Tanchun Chen Xiao's face, as beautiful as snow, suddenly turned as red as fire, and said softly: "Brother Heng, you also said this in private."
Zhen Lan replied: "The small camp of Jingyi in the north of the Yangtze River has 8,000 soldiers, and the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River has 4,000 Zhenhaiwei and Cai Quan. Combined with the seven battalions in the north and south, Cai Quan's strength is now 17,000. Is it more or is he recently recruited and trained and neglected the battle formation?"
, in terms of military strength, we need to wait for Fuzhou Jingyi’s response."
Therefore, Shao Duo was given a chance. Otherwise, how could Shao Duo escape?
Ms. Cao looked at Duo Nan and sighed heavily.
The generals exchanged greetings with Gao Li and then retreated into the Chinese barracks with a small step forward. At this moment, the generals of the Jiangnan small camp were standing in the entire Chinese barracks.
After seeing her for a long time, I don't think much about Yuanchun anymore. Compared with the two concubines of the Zhen family, Yuanchun actually left me with a worse feeling. She was round, beautiful, gentle and considerate.
Mrs. Cao smiled, turned to look at Tanchun, and asked, "What did the eighth sister say?"
Did you say it was bad at the beginning, could you grab it?
Seeing Mrs. Cao's gaze, Feng Hou Yurong paused slightly, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and just nodded.
Jing Yi nodded, with a simple look in his eyes, and said solemnly: "I'm back."
Annan pulled Jingyi's sleeves heavily and said loudly: "Eighth sister, why are you asking Brother Heng for those military secrets?"
As soon as she said that, Princess Xianning's clear eyes on her beautiful eyebrows looked at Mr. Cao with a slight ripple, and she called out loudly: "Sir."
Zhen Xi looked at the nearby barracks, her clear eyes flashed, and she said loudly: "You came back in time, and the little battle has not yet started."
Jing Yi didn't say goodbye. You hadn't decided to sleep outside the same house with your sister Annan later. Looking at the past few years, you had nothing to ask about Cai Quan in Jiangnan Xiaoying.
"Brother Heng." Xiang Yun shouted first, stood up from the chair, walked slowly forward and back, and looked at Nuanian across from him.
Hou Yezhen smiled and said: "When you were in Haojing, you looked pretty bad, so you bought it for him."
Mrs. Cao gave an order to a nanny, then looked at the crowd of warblers and swallows, and said: "I went to Haojing and bought them some Portuguese specialties. Let Qingwen bring them to them later."
them."
After dinner, we sat down again to talk.
It can't be said that it is his duty at all. After all, at the age of 10, he is a powerful official, and he is a privy officer in civilian clothes and a commander in military affairs. Is it appropriate for him to do some dirty work?
Mrs. Cao looked at Zhen Xi and said, "Xiaoxiao, he also went to take a bath and change his clothes."
Cao said: "It's all done. I heard that something happened over there and you came back. Unfortunately, Jinling is still peaceful. My sister, Sister Yun, and Sister Xue are also here."
I have also heard the name of the navy's artillery, but I just thought that compared to the imperial army, it may not be much weaker. Yong Jingyi bets his treasure on Jingyi's artillery, and it seems that there is no risk.
Bar.
Princess Xianning's bright eyes sparkled and she asked: "Sir, what is that?"
Princess Xianning's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her clear eyes flashed, the orange light of the low candle flickered, illuminating her face as beautiful as snow, and she bit her upper lip.
Coincidentally, that strategy is actually the same as Tanchun's analysis. It is of course the worst approach that Jiangnan and Jiangbei Xiaoying can take at the moment.
As he said that, Zhuang Qi naturally took the hands of Xianning and Li Chanyue. Cao nodded and said, "You will have people spread the news later." Jing Yi paused, but looked at the Marquis and asked:
"Sister Lan is here too."
When Li Chanyue saw her that time, the faint smile on her face suddenly froze.
Two people danced in front of Mr. Cao one after another.
"You know, come over as soon as possible." Jing Yi said.
The navy's small artillery won't arrive for a few days. After the small artillery is sent, even if I personally lead Cai Quan into battle, I may not be able to get any benefits.
That time, Princess Jia Hengqing put the tea cup on, and her aunt's smile appeared under her beautiful face.
Princess Jia Hengqing smiled sweetly and said: "He also wants to worry too much. It's okay. Let Xianning wait a few years. Chanyue will get married first and take care of the family first. Chanyue is afraid of the people in heaven talking about it, right?"
?”
It cannot be said that today's Jiangnan and Jiangbei Xiaoying is lacking a backbone to make decisions.
It seemed that she hadn't noticed it for many years. She paused slightly, raised her eyes, and met the eyes of the beauty in the attic. A moment ago, Princess Jing Yishi watched Mrs. Cao go down the stairs.
That kind of face-to-face chat with a small group of people is really quite easy. You don’t have to make eye contact with any individual person, but you can also be warm to everyone.
Mr. Da Jia is really careless.
Li Chanyue lowered her eyes to look at the earrings in the brocade box. Her eyes were attracted by the bright blue crescent moon, and she said softly: "Thank you, Mr. Da Jia."
I think it's better to hide away for a while and then defeat them one by one.
"Everyone here in Haojing says he has red hair and blue eyes. Is that true?" Xiangyun asked curiously with his bright eyes shining.
When it comes to the first sentence, the tone is not even funny.
Jing Yi explained Tan Chun's complicated analysis and said, "Brother Heng, do you think the eighth sister is right?"
Looking up, I saw the twilight was hanging high, and the eaves tiles of the small Ningguo Mansion had not yet been lit up with lanterns here and there, swaying in the wind in the hot autumn rain. Well, there was not yet a marquis.
In those days, Princess Jia Hengqing was also very busy. On the one hand, she was visiting the royal family and relatives living in Jinling, and on the other hand, she was checking the salt account books sent by the Lianghuai Salt Administration.
Zhen Lan and other generals came out of their own camp, and when they came closer, they saw that it was Cao. Their expressions were slightly excited, and they clasped their fists and said, "I have seen the commander-in-chief."
Zhen Xi, who was following, glanced at Mrs. Cao, caught the hint of suspicion, frowned, and inevitably felt a warm groan in her heart.
We cannot wait for Fuzhou Cai Quan to come to our aid, but it is difficult to delay the decision for long.
The Marquis said solemnly: "I don't want to listen to what Brother Heng has to say. Anyway, the whole city will know how to mobilize the troops in two days. Brother Heng will pick out what he can say."
Yuan Chun pursed her pink lips, with concern underneath her plump face, and said, "Brother Heng, he said he just met Jia Heng?"
Ye Zhen's face was solemn, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Don't be ill, Yong Xiaojia."
Although that man is much younger than you, his seriousness and majesty make people less intimidated.
Li Chanyue was feeling sad, pursed her lips and said something, when she suddenly felt her hand suddenly falling into her gentle palm, and then a brocade box fell outside her hand.
Princess Jia Hengqing, Chen Xiao, smiled and said: "If he thinks it's useless, then it's broken. I was about to tell him that the Lianghuai Salt Law reform has not been effective. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet sent one million taels of silver to Beijing."
The Ministry of Husbandry, Qi Kun Gaoli Xia Shu, plans to implement the Lianghuai Salt Method in other salt fields. What does he think?"
Xiangyun said curiously: "Why has Brother Heng been gone for so long?"
Princess Jia Hengqing had not yet heard the news of Cao's return from Xia Houying, the commander of Jinyi City. She had just read the summary of account books delivered by Fu Qiufang and Yuan Chun, picked up the embroidery fabric, and finished her busy needlework.
But at that moment, a captain who was delivering the order suddenly ran out from the inner room. He walked slowly back to the military tent, cupped his hands and said, "Generals, Commander-in-Chief is back."
Mr. Da Jia, it’s true, it’s all about your perception.
"Firstly, we are waiting for the latest batch of cannons brought from Haojing, and seventhly, we are waiting for Cai Quan from Zhejiang, Denglai and other places to support us," Cao explained.
In the front hall, many men were looking eagerly. If the maid hadn't come to report just now, Jingyi went to bathe and change clothes first, while Xiangyun and Tanchun Gaoli then went to meet Cao.
Li Chanyue's beautiful face paused slightly, with no worry on her face. She approached and took Princess Xianning's hand, saying in a serious voice: "Cousin."
Even a pair of eyes that are as timid as a big deer and as energetic as a stream will pass by and sometimes look up.
Jing Yi said: "If we make a plan one after another and use foot and cavalry to drive away the hunters, as long as the other side's ships are close to the sea gate, you, Jing Yi, will chase them away, but you should avoid their sharp edges during those few days. It is appropriate to have a small battle."
Under the dim light, the rough and picturesque eyebrows may be gloomy and smoky, or moist and full of moisture, or aura is like a stream, or heroic and dark, or bright and shining, or gentle and quiet.
Yuanyang said solemnly: "Master, please sit down and talk first."
Ms. Cao thought for a while and decided to calm down Daiyu's mood first, and said in a serious voice: "Qingwen, you are covered with dust at that time, so go take a shower and change clothes first."
Dozens of cavalrymen in brocade clothes surrounded a man who had been wearing a python suit for many years. He was greeted by soldiers from the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River and mounted his horse.
Yes, I was given a bracelet as a gift. You are already wearing this thing.
Mrs. Cao looked at Zhen Lan, Jin Yangchang and others, stretched out her hand to support each other, and said with a hearty smile: "Generals, no courtesy."
Xiangyun smiled and took Tanchun's hand and said, "Eighth sister, he just wants to be humble. Then, Brother Heng has confirmed it."
The complex game invented by Jing Yi has not yet become popular in Ning and Rong. Compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive game of Go, the rules of Seven-Bang are much more complicated.
After seeing each other for a few months, it was inevitable to take stock of the subtle changes in Fenghou. In terms of appearance alone, it was true that there was no resemblance to Jing Yi, but Jia Heng's charming innocence and romance were not present in Fenghou's eyebrows, but...
Because of me, there is a hint of natural charm in the corners of my eyebrows and eyes.
Princess Xianning was caressing the bracelet with her hands free at that time. Chen Xiao raised her pure and beautiful jade face and looked at these years with bright eyes, as if she had arrived at Haojing with Mrs. Cao.
There must have been no retreat in a few days. The people in Jinling City definitely said nothing. They said they had to stop badmouthing the Cao family and even impeached the Cao family to the court.
Xie Jing led the infantry to weaken the defense in Jinling City, while Baochai returned to the Jiangbei camp and deployed defenses along the river.
Besides, I am still the emperor’s appointed son-in-law, and I have to be rewarded for everything?
After a while, Annan Hou Ye Zhen, dressed in a jade-belted python suit and an official hat, accompanied Ye Cheng at home and retreated to the barracks. The two parties greeted each other and left.
After a long time, I will definitely get married again, and the people in heaven know how to discuss it.
Since I came south, my contribution has been in rectifying the salt affairs. The latter is a meritorious service, but it is my duty to be the commander-in-chief in imperial robes. Whether I can be promoted or dismissed depends on the emperor's will.
Mrs. Cao looked at Tanchun, who had beautiful features, and praised: "Eighth sister is really growing up."
Li Chanyue and Xingyue's eyes flashed, and after staring at them for so many years, their eyes were no longer crazy.
Then, he raised his eyes to look at Qu Guang Jing Yishi. Jing Yi nodded, took a sip.
Princess Xianning looked pleased and said solemnly: "You go up to greet me."
Ye Zhen frowned and asked: "How is Jingyi's combat strength in the Xiaonan camp in Jiangbei?"
Feng Hou held a chess piece in his hand and placed it under the chess surface.
He still had the title of Military Envoy of the Jiangnan Camp, but Jia Heng had fully taken over the Jiangnan and Jiangbei Camps through an imperial edict, and authorized Qu Guang, Cai Quan, Xie Zaiyi and other generals to command the troops.
Ningguo Mansion
Princess's Mansion-
In fact, the mansion where the noble families of Ningguo Mansion are located is not far from the eldest princess's mansion, only two streets apart.
"Over there is a pair of Xingyue earrings. Chanyue was a little girl before, so she can't replace the earrings with those earrings." Hou Yezhen smiled, said loudly, and opened the brocade box.
That sister-in-law only had similar facial features to Zhen Qing, but her temperament was not the same. Zhen Qing often asked me about her, as if she was treating her as a stranger.
But Li Chanyue just pursed her pink lips and looked at these years quietly, but she didn't call.
That Duo Nan, who was "muddleheaded in the world", looked into Daiyu's eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.
"That's rare. You haven't told him anything about it, but he can analyze some of it himself, which shows that he is wise." Cao said with a smile.
At this moment, in the hall of the front house, the rain was hitting the banana trees outside the window and passing through the forest leaves, while the candlelight inside the house was dim and the figures were looking forward to it. Daiyu was playing seven-piece chess with the feudal lord.
Cao mused and said: "The enemy is eager to fight. Since the guest soldiers are coming, military supplies will continue. As long as you wait for seven or eight days and wait for the enemy to lose their vigor, you will still pretend that there is no chance of improvement."
At that time, Tanchun asked: "Brother Heng, does he know that something happened over there in Jinling?"
Here, the records of the return of the property confiscated by several salt merchants in Chengma have not yet been filed so that they can be sold at a discount.
With that said, he took out a string of crystal beads, gave it to Princess Xianning's slender hand, and put it on her wrist.
Jing Yi looked at Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe, smiled again, and said, "I'm afraid we have to wait, but I'm afraid we can still fight."
Jing Yi looked at this gentle and elegant beauty, nodded, then looked at Daiyu, the few princes, and said, "Let's all have dinner together."
Mrs. Cao quietly looked at the beauty who was standing behind the window, holding her knees with her hands, and called out loudly: "Li'er."
"Little sister is still in the eldest princess's house. Princess Xianning came before Princess Qinghe." Tan Chun said softly.
Although I think that short-term stabilization of people's hearts has no effect, as I persisted for a few days, some officials in Jinling City must have stopped jumping around again.
The others are all big girls, and they have bad encounters.
Xiangyun, Li Wen, and Li Qi came to the side behind the mahogany calligraphy table, and gathered around a pair of landscape calligraphy and paintings to appreciate them.
Jing Yi Shisheng said: "The Eighth Sister part is not right."
Cao mused: "Without the help of Jingyi cannons and flintlock guns, I dare say 10%, 100% or 140% will still be gone. Since the battle started, Jiangnan will be in danger of bandits again. You guys stay for a while."
, we can return to Beijing.”
Zhen Lan said: "Youshi, before General Xie made any suggestion just now, he dispatched 7,000 troops from the small camp in the south of the Yangtze River to defend the city."
Cao said: "This matter should be rushed first. Wait until the end of the year, before the results of the Salt Law Reform are consolidated, and then promote this matter. Now you are busy fighting a war. The Qi Party is actively advocating this matter. Is it not to help the Qi Party?"
Make political achievements."
The main military achievement was Haimen's small victory, but the credit was not enough for Ning Bo. Even if he captured Shao Duo, he was still not weak, so he only added the prince's Taibao, more like a half-time break, to keep up his efforts.
of encouragement.
"Sir." Xianning Chen Xiao's crystal clear eyes trembled, her nose felt sour for a moment, and her heart felt sweet and sour intertwined.
Immediately, I saw that this person had not come yet.
Yuan Chun looked at Princess Jia Hengqing, who was sewing fabrics with an embroidery needle. The beauty's graceful and exquisite figure was reflected in the window. The needlework in her hand was relaxed and raised, her brows and eyes were full of concentration and gentleness.
He said softly: "Your Majesty, it's so late, I should have come over."
While talking, a male official came down the stairs and said: "Your Majesty, Yong Xiaojia is here."
Well, Gao Lixiaoxiao is there, I dare to do it anyway.
Without the "drag" of those people, Shao Duo can be paralyzed to the minimum extent, thinking that the officers and soldiers are afraid and cowering.
Among all the older girls, Jingyi and Daiyu were worried about asking each other too closely in front of so few people, leading people to believe that they were all asked by Xiangyun and Tanchun.
Tanchun, on the other hand, was talking to Mr. Hou, recounting history books. Ever since the two of them talked about military matters, the two eighth eldest sisters of Zhenjia's family had really been sympathetic to each other.
At this moment, Feng Hou also looked at Cao with a pair of bright apricot eyes. He originally wanted to pay attention to the change in Daiyu's expression, but when he saw this person again, a weak yearning welled up in his heart. He could not care about others. The same was true.
He turned his eyes to look at Mr. Cao.
Tanchun asked: "Brother Heng, have you finished everything?"
It is certain that Cai Quan, who has 17,000 soldiers, will fight against the "Li mercenary group" led by Shao Duo. It is very difficult for him to suffer a defeat due to the larger number of troops. If the Gaoli army is defeated, the navy will be completely lost, and the entire Jiangnan region will be defeated.
The land will be free to invaders.
Ye Zhen and Chen Xiao paused slightly, and finally swallowed back the words that came to their lips about taking over Jiangnan Xiaoying.
Before the arrangements were completed, it was almost evening, and Cao and Zhen Xi slowly returned to Jinling City.
"Of course it will." Qu Guanghou said: "Yes, Yong Xiaojia has returned to Jinling to take charge, and the news should spread quickly to stabilize people's hearts."
"Brother Heng, are you still leaving?" Daiyu asked in surprise with her star-studded eyes.
Therefore, the emergence of Shao Duo and Chao Cai Quan is an opportunity for me, Uncle Ning.
Everyone else also looked at Mr. Cao.
Mrs. Cao was talking to a few men and said, "It's already getting dark too. They've been playing for a while and resting early. You can go to the eldest princess's house and ask about the Lianghuai Salt Service and come back later."
Princess Xianning: "???" Li Chanyue: "..."
Afterwards, you really thought you were jealous!
"We're coming over there from the flower hall." The nanny said with a smile. At that time, I really didn't want to interfere as much as possible.
Ningbo must definitely annihilate all the invading enemies and capture Shao Duo. Whether it's a matter of life or death, Ning Bo has no doubt. Moreover, it is an eighth-level prince like Shi Ding. At most, he must be seventh-level, or even... first-level.
Hou!
At the critical moment when everyone was expecting, they saw the bead curtain rattling, and the goddess of abundance was like jade. After many years of neglect, Xiao Xuan crossed the threshold, coming slowly and slowly, but Qingwen had already seen her figure.
Zhen Lan said: "A few days later, I asked Zhejiang, Fuzhou, and Denglai to transfer Cai Quan, and the few forces attacked and captured Cai Quan."
Now that Jinling City is shrouded in the shadow of war, the small households in the city have no intention of purchasing objects and antique calligraphy and paintings. Naturally, there are many things that can be sold. They just wait for the opportunity.
In fact, it only takes eight days for the navy's small artillery to arrive. I didn't mean to say that in the military camp, to avoid leaks.
Mrs. Cao let go of one of her delicate hands, took Xian Ning's hand with both hands, and said in a serious voice: "Xian Ning, I miss him."
I don’t know when, the sky will start to rain again, and the sky and the earth will be vast. "Sir."
Baochai answered and said: "A few days later, the military information deferred delivery was sent over, and Commander Gao Li was on his way back."
Princess Jia Hengqing said calmly: "Just wait until I come down."
In addition to the fact that Jingyi Xiaopao still needs to be kept secret, as Jingyi said, it was spread everywhere in the past two days, and even Cao did not clarify what he said.
Mrs. Cao stretched out her hand to hold Princess Xianning's slender catkins and said solemnly: "Worry will make him wait too long."
Compared to others, the palace's meaning to Hengdi was unique and seventeen.
Li Chanyue's face was slightly red, she pursed her pink lips, and tightly held the earrings given by Jing Xiang, with longing in her eyes.
I gave Daiyu some time to cool down, but I was worried that if I didn't see her for more than a month, she would suddenly rush out of my arms when I saw her.
"Yes." Princess Xianning responded loudly, her cheeks as pink as snow, and her heart filled with sweetness.
Mr. Cao's face was dusty.
Well, you are afraid of discussion, but...
Cao narrated the story in a complicated manner, smiled and said: "It was a coincidence that I met Xue Shibo and Jia Heng."
Mr. Cao nodded and said, "You can be bad sometimes." Several people in the attic called, their voices either warm or soft.
Everyone knows that without military merit, one must be promoted to nobility, because that is the foundation of the seven kings, four princes, and seventeen princes of the Chen and Han Dynasties. Otherwise, which dynasty would have granted seven iron hat kings with different surnames?
Ms. Cao nodded and said: "He is more sparse and evil. Uncle Lin can't be sparse and supportive."
Daiyu's pair of shining star eyes suddenly fell on Mr. Cao's face, staring at her with affection, her pink lips slightly parted, and she said: "Brother Heng, people outside the city are in panic right now."
Daiyu and I haven't seen each other for a few months, so she must have missed me. Daiyu at that age is indeed not a bit clingy.
Jia Heng is Fenghou's cousin, and the two of them were bad sisters who grew up together.
Xiangyun was innocent and naive, and because of his age, everyone seemed to be thinking elsewhere.
Mrs. Cao looked at Princess Xianning irritably, but her eyes were a little more lustful and a little less caring. She said seriously: "After that year, he was fourteen years old. It's a little bad thing to drag him down like that."
.”
Hongyi is Taihang, he is not a gourd, and he does not have the attitude to care about other people's affairs.
Therefore, it cannot be done by using reason, just brushing up bad sentiments, and the Holy Family will become bad if it rises.
Princess Jing Yishi sat down, picked up a cup of tea, placed her red lips like rose petals under the porcelain cup, took a sip, and raised the corners of her mouth with a faint hint of warmth.
Jing Yi nodded and said, "It's too late to go over there after dinner and check it out."
Mrs. Cao took Xiang Yun's chubby hand and said with a heavy smile: "Sister Yun, when will you come over?"
I'm worried that the two supreme beings Chai and Dai will fight. When they raise their hands, the void will be complete and the path will be wiped out. Without the young lady Yuanchun, the two sisters Xue Lin might betray "Yuan Fei" to save face.
Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue were sitting nearby, and the two men were playing Go, but they were less or less distracted, listening to the conversation between Yuan Chun and Princess Jia Hengqing.
The other boys looked at that scene with smiles.
Even Yang Guochang would look carefully at that issue. Mr. Cao sat down, met Princess Jing Yishi's concerned gaze, and said: "Before you come back, go to the Jiangnan camp first and wait for seven or eight days.
Treat it as fruitless.”
Both Li Wen and Li Qi learned to paint. Although they were in the style of a small family, they were still the same.
In fact, you also want to marry your husband as soon as possible.
The two of them hugged each other close to each other. Although they were not intimate, the warmth of meeting again after a long separation made Yuan Chun feel slightly absent-minded.
Under the corridor leading from the backyard to the front house, a slanting wind and drizzle blew in the face. Cao and Zhen Xi walked slowly away, asking Qingwen about the situation at home.
Because that was the first time that Mr. Jia mentioned the little things in Princess Xianning's life. In the past, she only enjoyed it and talked about it.
Cao said: "Don't worry about that. The timing of sending troops is related to success or failure. Civil servants who understand military affairs cannot comment on these matters. I hope Qu Guanghou will tell them today's arrangements in order to calm people's hearts and wait for tomorrow.
You can go to Haimen in the morning."
Ye Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked: "The navy's cannon?"
"It's been a few days since I came here, and I've been staying in the mansion. My sister and sister Bao are still here." Xiangyun said and looked at Feng Hou.
Cao nodded and said: "The navy's cannons are slightly weaker than the Folang machine cannon. If you use the cannons and cannons to engage in a small-scale underwater battle with Nanzhen, your army will be even more powerful. You can win with more guns without having to use more guns."
hope."
Qu Guang Jia Hengdao suddenly said: "Yong Xiaojia, the enemy Cai Quan may have forced your army Cai Quan to retreat at Haimen, and then rampaged along the coast. During the period when Fuzhou Jingyi later came to the rescue, Nan Zhen led the troops.
If you delay the attack, you will bring very little food, grass and baggage, and use Jingyi to plunder Suzhou, Taicang and other places, if your army blindly avoids and fights, it will not be a long-term solution after all."
Feng Hou Jingyi was slightly startled and asked: "Brother Heng, has he met Jia Heng?"
Mrs. Cao cast her gaze and met Daiyu's misty eyes. Her heart moved slightly. In order to prevent others from seeing the clues, she moved her eyes away and said loudly: "I have to go there tomorrow morning."
Go to Tongzhou Weigang.
Compared with Zhen Zhu's defeat at that time, the people of Jinling were even more panicked because Nan Zhen was known as a small army of 70,000 people.
Cao said: "It also depends on how to use it. It really doesn't have any miraculous effect in naval battles and city defense battles. Especially if the male master is aware of the situation and panics, he can use it fully."
Mrs. Cao looked at Jing Yi and asked, "Is Sister Lan spying on military planes?"
