People's Guard Commander Xiang Xiaoqiang will get married on February 14. This news quickly spread throughout the Ming Empire. Xiang Xiaoqiang once again became the focus of public opinion.
Xiang Xiaoqiang himself is legendary enough. In addition, the two women he wants to marry were rescued by him from Beiqing twice and fell in love with each other. This story has become a legend in Ming Dynasty.
People all have a bit of a "hero saves a beauty" complex, and think that the resulting love is very romantic and has passed the test of life and death. What is even more eye-catching is that one of the heroines is the legendary "
"Ryukyu Princess" is the illegitimate daughter of the current Ryukyu King. This adds a layer of "prince and princess" complex to the "hero saving beauty" complex.
It was just right for Xiang Xiaoqiang to reveal the news of his marriage to the outside world at this time. Now is the time for him to get rid of the stigma of "Xiang's scandal", and he urgently needs to restore his "popularity". Now he is staging a story where lovers finally get married, allowing the public to see a fairy tale
The beautiful story came true, which greatly satisfied people's desire for beauty. Now Xiang Xiaoqiang can be said to be very popular.
The divorce period was less than a week away, so time was tight. Xiang Xiaoqiang gave Snail full power to arrange the marriage. Snail was extremely satisfied with this job. Snail is Xiang Xiaoqiang's deputy commander, with a high enough status and his confidant.
It's Qiu Qiu's family, there really is no one more suitable than him. Although Snail is not as resourceful as Tummy Pain, he is down-to-earth and steady, good at management and handling specific affairs. This marriage is equivalent to being "co-organized by the Commander of the People's Guard and the Tiandihui"
"Yes, it is easiest for a snail to run on both ends.
Qiu Laohu knew that his daughter was really marrying his uncle this time, and he was so happy from ear to ear. Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that Qiu Laohu was a rough man, and he loved his daughter very much. In order not to lose his daughter, he would do anything, and if he couldn't save everything, he would do anything.
The super wedding was coming. When he took Qiu Qiu to visit and discuss, he had to repeatedly advise his father-in-law not to be extravagant, and this wedding must be simple. Now that he has just gone through the "Xiang family scandal", although it is okay, he must be extremely careful.
careful……
But Xiang Xiaoqiang always thinks about one thing, that is, he has already met Qiu Qiu's father, but has not met Xiu Xiu's. Logically speaking, he must meet before getting married. Of course, he must not meet the King of Ryukyu.
, then both the King of Ryukyu and Xiuxiu would go crazy.
Xiang Xiaoqiang called Xiuxiu over, asked her to sit down in front of him, and looked at her seriously.
Xiuxiu saw that her husband was so solemn, and at the moment when the wedding date was set, she had already guessed what her husband was going to say. Xiuxiu lowered her head and avoided looking at Xiaoqiang, as if she felt guilty.
"Xiuxiu," Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled, touched her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Why are you so afraid of me? You look like a little white rabbit, looking frightened."
Xiuxiu was startled, raised her face, smiled softly, looked at him and shook her head:
"Ah? No..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"We are getting married on the 14th. Take advantage of these few days to go to Wujiang to visit your Majesty and bring her to attend the wedding."
Xiuxiu's heart seemed even weaker, her eyes were evasive, she was a little flustered, and she said:
"Well...actually...it doesn't matter...you don't have to..."
"Hey, what's not necessary?" Xiang Xiaoqiang said with a smile, "We, the young couple, are about to get married. For both love and courtesy, we need to meet each other's parents, right?"
Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and boldly retorted:
"Then...to your parents..."
"Hey, you little girl," Xiang Xiaoqiang was speechless by her for a moment. He was angry and funny. He stretched out his hand to lift her chin, squeezed it hard, shook it, and scolded me with a smile, "You're still questioning me.
?Want to rebel? My parents are both in England, and it will take the second half of the year to come over by boat! Just send a telegram...Okay, your parents are coming, but my parents don't need to come, that's it!"
Xiuxiu was stunned, said "Oh" and lowered her head.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Xiuxiu with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"You said that your hometown is in Wujiang County, Suzhou, right? Well, there is a railway from Nanjing to Suzhou. You can go by train. There is no need for a special train. You can just get a first-class box. It is much more comfortable than taking a car... And Wujiang County is far away
Suzhou City is only about ten kilometers away, so just hire a car when the time comes."
Xiuxiu's face turned red and she said with a murmur:
"Sir...well, my home is no longer in Wujiang County...my home is in the countryside."
"Huh?" Xiang Xiaoqiang hadn't thought that such a beautiful girl like Xiu Xiu grew up in the countryside, "Country? Where?"
"Tongli Town, you have never heard of it."
When Xiang Xiaoqiang heard this thunderous place name, he was suddenly surprised and happy.
Never heard of it? Don’t overhear it! Tongli is one of the “Six Ancient Towns in the South of the Yangtze River” in later generations, a place as famous as Zhouzhuang!
Zhouzhuang, Tongli, Wuzhen, Xitang, Nanxun, Luzhi, these places, Xiang Xiaoqiang has only been to Zhouzhuang in his later generations. It is still a tourist attraction and is extremely commercialized. The entrance fee is 100 yuan. You can even ask for directions when you go in.
They all want money from you, and Zhouzhuang is full of materialism. But now, in the 1930s, these ancient towns have not undergone any tourism development, and they are still unknown, authentic, and Xiuxiu’s hometown. If you don’t take the opportunity to visit Taipei
Pity.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Xiuxiu and sighed in admiration. No wonder Xiuxiu is so elegant and beautiful. It turned out that she grew up in an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River. The elegance and beauty of the water town has been ingrained into her bones.
"Well, Tongli," Xiang Xiaoqiang mused, "I haven't heard much about my husband. But since it is my Xiuxiu's hometown, I think it will be as beautiful as Xiuxiu. Then I must go,
Ha ha."
Although Xiuxiu knew it was sweet talk, she was still very happy and smiled.
…
There isn't much going on in Nanjing at the moment, so Xiang Xiaoqiang has decided to set off with Xiu Xiu the day after tomorrow, on the 9th, and stay in the same place for a day or two, or two or three days if it's fun, and then take her with her two days before the wedding.
Xiuxiu's mother returned to Nanjing to prepare for the wedding. During this period, Snail was responsible for the affairs of the People's Guards, leaving it to Tonglan. Snail was responsible for arranging the wedding, and also helped Tonglan handle the affairs of the People's Guard to prevent him from being too clever and causing trouble.
What's going on?
In fact, the ideal candidate in Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart was Shi Shi Ge Ge. Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that if she were to temporarily replace him, the arrangements would be very good. But Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that just because Shi Shi Ge Ge was so capable, he had to
Tie her up and don't give her a chance to let her go. Otherwise, you won't be able to control her at all. To be exaggerated, it's not impossible for the People's Guard to be captured by her. You must keep the Fourteenth Gege in your hands, even if this is the case
She can only exert half of her energy. That comes first.
The next morning, after Xiang Xiaoqiang finished teaching Zhu Yourong, he asked for marriage leave from her.
Zhu Yourong lowered her head and said nothing, staring at the pen, concentrating on playing. It wasn't until Xiang Xiaoqiang called her again that she raised her head, looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, and smiled lightly.
"Well, I also heard about your marriage... Hara also expected that you should mention it when you come today... Well, from the 9th to the 14th, no problem. I will add ten more days. You, please take good care of the two ladies."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Xiang Xiaoqiang..." Zhu Yourong suddenly said, "Do you have a cousin?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled: Why did your Majesty suddenly ask this?... He replied:
"No."
"Then let me give you a cousin... you can use it in the future."
Yes, Xiang Xiaoqiang thought, now everyone with status must have a pseudonym. The pseudonym and the name must be related. For example, Shen Rongxuan's pseudonym is "Ji Mo".
Zhu Yourong had actually helped Xiang Xiaoqiang get it a long time ago, but she didn't want Xiang Xiaoqiang to know, so she pretended to chant:
"My name is 'Xiaoqiang'...Xiaoqiang...strong...strong...tenacious...unyielding..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang sweated: She wouldn't let me call me "Xiang Nianqiang" or "Xiang Unyielding", would she?
At this moment, Zhu Yourong's eyes flashed, he looked at him and said softly:
"Tingzhi. Xiangtingzhi... do you like this word?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang's worried heart returned to his stomach. He didn't understand the meaning of "Xiang Tingzhi", but he heard that "Xiang Tingzhi" seemed to mean that, so he thanked:
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for the words."
"No, it's not a gift," Zhu Yourong seemed to be frightened and said quickly, "It's a gift. We are friends. This is... a good friend got married, and I gave it to my good friend... you... you You must use it!”
Xiang Xiaoqiang noticed that Zhu Yourong's mood seemed to be a little fluctuating, and quickly smiled in a soothing tone:
"That's natural. You can't find someone else to come up with such a beautiful nickname. Your Majesty, I will use the word 'Tingzhi' to accompany me for the rest of my life."
As soon as the last sentence was spoken, Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately felt a bit of ambiguity. But when Zhu Yourong heard his words, he seemed to be greatly comforted. A smile slowly appeared on his face and he said softly:
"That's great."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiang Xiaoqiang watched carefully and carefully savored Zhu Yourong's reaction today, especially the inexplicable way she sent him a cousin.
However, why do these two words always seem a bit awkward to read... what does it mean?
…could it be: It’s good to be a man?
Xiang Xiaoqiang sweated and took a peek at Zhu Yourong's face. He found no trace of bad taste on it. On the contrary, it was very holy, dull, and a little lost.
"That's right," Zhu Yourong suddenly recovered and smiled, "What a coincidence, last time you asked for marriage leave from me, I gave you dozens of tanks as wedding gifts, haha..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled:
"Yeah. What about this time? Haha, there won't still be dozens of tanks, right?"
Zhu Yourong smiled and said:
"how do you know?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart jumped: No way... so good?
Zhu Yourong pulled out a pile of information and handed it to Xiang Xiaoqiang with a smile.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at it, and his heart became more and more excited. In the past two months since the war started, Ming Dynasty has completely transformed into a wartime economy, and the output of various war materials is more than ten times that of usual times. Especially this month, the Qing army broke through the defense line. During the Battle of Nanjing, facing the all-out Jiangnan War, various arsenals went crazy with production. The production of tanks alone reached nearly 300 units this month.
"Come on," Zhu Yourong looked at him eagerly and asked, "How much do you want?"
When Xiang Xiaoqiang saw Zhu Yourong like this, even if he asked for everything, she would agree without hesitation.
However, at this time, he must be aware of it. For the same reason, Xiang Xiaoqiang said excitedly:
"I...I still want half of it. Other troops also need it."
Zhu Yourong was startled and a little anxious:
"Come on, please get more... You taught me that tanks can be used more efficiently than the enemy. I know that if I give you a tank, I can use it more efficiently... In the entire Ming Dynasty, there is no one who knows how to use tanks better than you.
It’s the people who use tanks.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that during the battle to defend Nanjing, he used tanks beautifully in every field battle and street battle, which left a deep impression on Zhu Yourong. But when he was in his position, he could not only consider military issues, but also consider military issues.
Political issues. If it is an unpopular submarine, you can take them all yourself. But this is a hot tank, and you must not do this. To monopolize this kind of thing is to only focus on the present and leave no way out for yourself.
Xiang Xiaoqiang insisted that he only wanted half, 150 vehicles. This was a lot, and two more tank battalions could be formed. He seized the opportunity and said that to give full play to the advantages of armored mobile warfare, it is not just tanks that will do, but also supporting supporting equipment.
auxiliary vehicles.
Zhu Yourong seemed to have made up her mind today and would respond to Xiang Xiaoqiang's requests. No matter how outrageous the request was to Xiang Xiaoqiang, she would agree. Xiang Xiaoqiang took this opportunity to get a large number of armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, cars, motorcycles, etc.
, I really made a huge fortune, and I was able to expand three more mechanized infantry regiments.
Zhu Yourong's heart was empty, but Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart was full.
On the way back, Xiang Xiaoqiang lay on the leather seat of the car, feeling a little lost... Zhu Yourong, this girl is quite good. Unfortunately, her status is too high, it's impossible, it's impossible...
As wedding gifts, people give red envelopes, and she always gives tanks. Haha, that's not bad. If she really marries one of the "Twelve Dozens of Hui Ming Dynasty", then she can directly bulldoze the Soviet Union...
