Xu Yuan has been worried about one thing these days.
Beauty.
A total of twenty beauties from North Korea were sent to Harbor City by a cargo ship a few days ago as trophies.
Although in terms of appearance, all of them are handsome and handsome, with attractive figures, one has to praise: the aesthetics of the Marine Corps boys is very good.
"Nonsense, this is nonsense!"
Xu Yuan still got very angry, severely criticized him, and ordered someone to issue instructions. He gave battalion commander Zhang Fugui a demerit and asked him not to make similar mistakes again.
Because these Korean beauties are women in the Joseon palace. Three are the concubines of King Li Zhu, sixteen are ordinary palace maids, and one is a princess.
In fact, the essence of war is huge profits and plunder. It is only natural to snatch some beauties from the defeated. Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youtang, whose biological mother Ji was the daughter of a barbarian native official, was sent to the palace after his defeat.
Even if some officials committed an unforgivable crime, their wives and daughters would end up working in the Jiaofangsi and become prostitutes, which is very tragic.
This has been the case in all Chinese dynasties. The status of women has always been very low. During the war, it was even more miserable. They were basically property, vassals, and even reduced to food.
Therefore, from the perspective of these traditions, there is nothing wrong with what Zhang Fugui and others did. After all, women are also a type of resource, and it is natural to snatch resources.
The problem is that these North Korean beauties are not ordinary women, they are palace maids and concubines. Once you possess these women, what does it mean?
Transgression!
It is a symbol of the intention to encroach on imperial power.
But Xu Yuan had no idea of becoming an emperor.
Sending him these twenty North Korean beauties is like putting him on the fire. It will cause countless unnecessary speculations and suspicions, increase countless suspicions and precautions, and it is obviously a loss that outweighs the gains.
don't want.
He will not want any of these North Korean beauties, even if they are as beautiful as gods, he cannot accept them, otherwise it will bring great side effects.
Therefore, the way to deal with it was to give each of them 500 silver dollars and let them go freely. They could go wherever they wanted and find whomever they wanted. In short, these women were all 'liberated'.
As for Xu Yuan's solution, after being reported by the "Oriental Times", and after receiving the money, these North Korean beauties all made the decision to stay in Harbor City for development, and also planned to start a joint venture and open a kimchi restaurant... Suddenly
It became an example of positive propaganda and was hotly discussed in the Ming Dynasty’s public opinion arena.
But unexpectedly, most male readers disapproved of Xu Yuan's approach, thinking that he was "fakely aloof" and that he was incompetent in some aspects.
However, it has received extremely high praise among the vast number of female readers:
"This Master Xu, he understands us women, he knows what we want most."
"Why? Why can't I meet such a good man?" A famous prostitute in a brothel held a newspaper in pain.
"Freedom is something that men can easily get, but it is something that we women can't get after pursuing it all our lives."
"I wish I could be one of those twenty North Korean beauties."
"Giving people the right to make free choices is true humanism."
…
In the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty.
Empress Zhou and her sister-in-law Zhang Yan also discussed the report "Twenty Beauties". Empress Zhou couldn't help but said: "This Master Xu knows the hearts of women in the world."
The emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan, this beautiful woman who according to records was "slim and plump, with a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like red cherry blossoms, a nose like hanging gallbladder, and white teeth," was one of the 5,000 beauties from all over the country.
Among girls, after passing the "eight tests", she was undoubtedly selected as the most beautiful girl. She is still only 28 years old this year, but with proper maintenance, she is more mature and plump, and her charm is a bit more than when she was a girl. She is still gorgeous.
The beauty of Crown Palace.
However, Zhang Yan has a very traditional and conservative personality, and has a very bad impression of the owner of Xu Village, thinking that he is a treacherous businessman and a traitor! He should be strong and enlightened, and then kill such thieves.
But this time, Zhang Yan's impression of Zhuangzhu Xu had to change to a certain extent, but she still snorted and said: "This Xu Yuan is just putting on a show. It only proves that he is not so
They are just lustful, or those North Korean beauties are just mediocre in appearance and cannot catch his eye. If there are stunningly beautiful women among them, I am afraid he will still accept them, otherwise he will not have multiple concubines."
"That's right. If a beautiful woman like the emperor's sister-in-law were placed in front of him, I'm afraid she wouldn't hesitate at all. Instead, she would turn into a beast, pounce on her, and swallow her in one gulp." Empress Zhou couldn't help but follow.
She made a joke.
"Shut up! How can you make such a joke?" Zhang Yan scolded with a stern face, but her pretty face quickly turned red.
"I was wrong, Mrs. Huang. I will never dare to do it again next time." Empress Zhou apologized repeatedly.
"Hmph, you can't be so insignificant and have no queenly manners from now on." Zhang Yan criticized again.
"Yes, yes."
Queen Zhou nodded like a primary school student, but thought of one thing, Queen Zhou couldn't help but said: "I heard that Xu Yuan still has no real wife. He is thirty-two years old, but he is very discerning. If he doesn't want the daughter of a great scholar from Jiangnan, Xun
He doesn't like the daughter of a noble official, and he doesn't even like the princess of the vassal king's clan. He would rather that the position remains vacant, and would rather bear the suspicion of all parties. Sister-in-law, please tell me, what kind of woman is worthy of her?
Are you deceived by his real wife Xu Yuan?"
"How do I know? Why are you asking me?"
Zhang Yan shook her head, her eyes a little evasive. So what does it have to do with Xu Yuan as a widow whether he marries a real wife or not? It's simply a matter of not opening the pot.
…
the other side.
Xu Yuan ordered the release of twenty Korean beauties and granted them freedom.
This matter was not over. Instead, he was entangled by a North Korean beauty. She asked to see her many times and begged to take her in, hoping that Xu Yuan would take her in.
Her name is Li Shujing. She is 16 years old this year. She is the daughter of the deposed Gwanghae Lord Li Hui. She was once a North Korean princess. However, after Li Zhu usurped the throne, he demoted her to the deposed princess and enriched her into the harem, and she has a beautiful appearance.
Delicate, with delicate facial features, she is a stunning beauty. If she hadn't often deliberately acted ugly, she would have been eaten by the beast Li Zhu.
When Zhang Fugui captured Gyeongbokgung Palace, the other 29 beauties were captured by force. Only Li Shujing took the initiative to seek relief. Zhang Fugui agreed because she was pretty.
She joined.
Because it was voluntary, Li Shujing was not very happy when she learned that she was free. Instead, she took the initiative to ask for a meeting, hoping to get better arrangements.
"What else do you want me to arrange? Isn't 500 silver dollars enough?" Looking at the little beauty standing in front of him, Xu Yuan was very happy with her.
"I don't want money!"
Li Shujing, who received royal education since childhood, can speak fluently and plainly, saying: "I want to be your woman, you are a good person, I like you, can you marry me?"
Xu Yuan was surprised. Isn't this little beauty too direct?
"Little girl, I'm very happy that you said you like me, but are you serious? I am thirty-two years old and you are only a teenager. There is a big age difference. Stop joking. This is not child's play." Xu Yuanyao
He nodded.
"I'm not kidding!"
Li Shujing looked serious, walked over, straightened out her small breasts and said: "Do you think I'm beautiful? Brother, do you like me? Would you like to marry me~" The little beauty even started talking and said
The cuteness reminded Xu Yuan of a certain female star named Zhang in the drama "Bangzi". The role she played as a unruly princess was very similar to the Li Shujing in front of her.
"Okay, stop making trouble."
Xu Yuan shook his hand and said with a straight face: "Tell me your purpose. If you are eager to sacrifice yourself, you must have a purpose that you are willing to sacrifice for. Just tell me and I will help you if I can. There is no need to be so obsessive.
"
"I want to ask you to help rescue my father." Li Shujing finally regained her serious expression and said.
"You mean Gwanghae-kun?"
"Well, he is now exiled to Ganghwa Island and is being closely guarded. It is impossible for me to rescue my father by myself." Li Shujing lowered her head and said.
"This is easy. I'll just ask Xu Huoqing to send two ships over. You can see your father in ten days at most." Xu Yuan said.
"Also, I want you to help my father restore the kingdom, kill the traitor Li Zhu, and regain his throne." Li Shujing said with a look of hatred.
"Why should I help you like this?"
Xu Yuan folded his hands and said calmly, looking at this little beauty as if he was looking at a little retard. Where does this woman get her confidence, or why does she feel so good about herself? In just a few words, she asked him to help with this.
Do that like a nanny.
"So I can only pledge myself to you and repay you with this."
Li Shujing lowered her head and said, but then she raised her head, walked to Xu Yuan, looked at him and said: "Sir, please help me and accept me. As long as you agree to help, I will do anything for you."
, even if it means letting me die."
After saying that, she gritted her teeth and made a show of taking off her clothes.
"That's enough, it doesn't have to be this way."
Xu Yuan waved his hand, stopped her, and said: "I will let your father be rescued first and let you and your daughter be reunited. As for other things, we will talk about it later. How about this? Also, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will always be there."
Don't do this to yourself, only those who respect themselves will others respect and help you, you know?"
"Yeah, I got it."
Li Shujing shed tears and nodded repeatedly, feeling warm in her heart.
…
soon.
On August 19, the Xujiazhuang Naval Squadron responsible for blockading Incheon Port launched a landing operation. The Marine Corps landed on Ganghwa Island not far from Incheon Port and rescued Gwanghaejun Li Hui. That day
Settled on Jeju Island.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Thank you, thank you!"
After receiving the good news, Li Shujing was so excited that she hugged Xu Yuan and even kissed him, which shocked him.
On August 20, when they learned that Lord Guanghae had been rescued and fell into the hands of Xu Jiajun, the Korean monarchs and ministers were horrified. King Li Zhu seemed to have been hit at a critical point. He had never been willing to compromise before and let go.
Suddenly, peace envoys were sent to express their agreement to all the conditions proposed by Xujiazhuang, whether they were compensation, apology, or land cession, they all agreed!
I just want the blockade to be lifted immediately and Gwanghae-kun not to be released.
I'm scared.
The North Korean monarchs and ministers gave in just because Xu Jiajun rescued one person, and the effect was actually better than dispatching a hundred thousand troops.
And since that day, there was one more regular visitor in Xu Yuan's White Castle. Li Shujing came here to play every day. At first, she just chatted and played around, but later, for some reason, she hugged Xu Yuan.
They got together, and slowly began to talk to each other... Later, Li Shujing simply moved into Baibao, and had a large apartment of her own. And because she was very clingy, she followed Xu Yuan almost every day, causing Fang Qingyan to
, Xia He and the two girls both stared at the man with disgusted expressions.
Even the Ono sisters, who have a gentle personality, couldn't help but feel jealous this time. They said a few strange words in private, saying that little girls are shameless.
For Xu Yuan, there is another beautiful woman around him. On the one hand, this is deliberate and has some unspeakable purpose; secondly, as a man, facing a young and beautiful beauty hanging in front of him every day, he also puts on a show
It's normal for him to be willing to be eaten by you at any time. He can't control himself. Xu Yuan is just an ordinary person, not a saint.
