Section III

The army set off the next day, and the guards of the Wang's Tent Army got on the boat from Boming, went east along the Hutuo River, entered the Zhili realm from Dingxiang and Yuzaokou, and returned to Beijing through Pingshan, Zhengdingfu and Baodingfu.

The scale of the Hui army is huge, along the Hutuo River line of land and water, can be described as a vast "armed parade", including the people, the militia, the total strength of the army is more than 320,000, only the "elite" cavalry force has more than 30,000 people, artillery nearly 300 "doors", in the land of China, such a strong force, even throughout the past 100 years, is only a handful, and where the army goes, the iron hooves are towards, the princes tremble, the world is terrifying. Lin Feng only went to Zhengding, and the envoys of Wu Sangui of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Qilong of Henan, and Zheng Jing of Taiwan carried heavy gifts, like flies following the wind, humble words and thick coins, and tried their best to please them.

After this battle, public opinion in Shilin changed dramatically, and the legitimacy of the Han Dynasty regime north of the Yellow River was finally recognized historically, and the so-called "anti-thief" hat was completely removed, and what is particularly ironic is that the original official title of the Han Dynasty "Pseudo-Qing" was finally recognized by the national academic community, and the Qing court was politically judged to be an "illegal regime" by the princes of the whole country, and now it is still entrenched in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Qing army troops headed by the pseudo-Qing Prince Jian, Rabu, and Kang Prince Jieshu, It was officially declared by His Royal Highness the King of Han as "a handful of ultra-nationalist separatists who undermine a harmonious society, undermine national unity, and stubbornly resist national unity", and is spurned by the people of the world.

Under such a political situation, the great military victory of the Han Empire provided objective conditions for the peaceful settlement of the Shandong issue. In fact, just before returning to the army, Zhou Peigong of the Beijing General Staff sent Lin Feng a few secret letters, proposing several 'maneuver' plans on how to solve the Shandong problem.

Since the Han army broke through the Beijing division and the war criminal Xuan Ye and others were executed according to law, the whole of China fell into a 'chaos' and 'chaos', and compared with the 'chaos' and 'chaos' in other brother provinces, Shandong's political situation seemed much calmer, and one of the most important reasons here was that the governor of Shandong and the general army of Shandong were both Han Chinese, and compared with the Manchu and Han antagonism of local officials in Anhui and other provinces, Shandong did much better in terms of political unity. In fact, this is also a very strange place for Lin Feng, because according to the system of the Qing court, there is no governor in Shandong Province, so the power of the governor is extremely prominent, and basically he can still control the martial arts, so when the capital changed dramatically and the emperor was killed, their reaction was also quite strange.

The current governor of Shandong is Zhao Shenqiao, the word is Shenyan, a native of Wujin in Jiangnan, from Lin Feng's point of view, this name is absolutely very unfamiliar, it can be said that in the history of which time and space he is definitely a first-class kitten and puppy, at least not at the same level as celebrities like Yu Chenglong, so when he got this information, he was a little 'confused' Confused', because as far as the current intelligence is concerned, this person's ability is indeed quite good, after the central court of the Qing court was destroyed, this person immediately grasped the civil and military power of Shandong, and initially formed a separatist situation in a very short period of time, and the other senior officials under him, whether they are civil officials or military generals, seem to have no opinions, and behave quite obediently, although it is impossible to seek further development in terms of his strength, but in this world, the war is 'chaotic', and the people are not living. He was able to maintain a peaceful and stable situation in Shandong Province, which is really commendable.

As a large province directly bordering the Han army, Wang Shirong's ordnance and grain statistics ya'men allocated funds to set up Shandong intelligence stations at a very early stage, and sent 'elite' spies to sneak into various parts of Shandong to infiltrate and lurk, spy on military and political intelligence, and at the same time try to buy local officials and garrisons, the ability and prestige of the leading generals have a very accurate understanding, so if the Han army sends troops to Shandong, although it will not be able to achieve "bloodless soldiers", there should be no major problems if the momentum is like a bamboo.

According to the information now available, the total strength of Shandong Province is about 50,000, and almost all of its main forces are stationed in Dezhou, Linqing, and Leling, among which Dezhou has the strongest military strength, with nearly 25,000 garrison troops and more than 10 equipment. The cannon, by the Shandong political secretary Yao Wenran sat down, the chief soldier Wang Chengye personally led the army to defend, Zhao Shenqiao in just two years, mobilized a large number of materials, the commercial city quickly fortified, and relying on the city on both sides of the river to build a large number of dock forts joint defense, hold the canal to rush, completely master the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal waterway, and now the Han army territory of the commercial group if you want to trade with the south from the land, you must break through this solid military blockade.

At first, when the Han military regime was just established, the attitude of Zhao Shenqiao, the governor of Shandong, was quite cautious, compared to Tuhai and Tong Outline, his feelings for the Manchu royal family were undoubtedly inferior to a grade, so in this north-south 'melee' war, when the building was about to fall, he adopted a very conservative strategy, and even when Lin Feng led the army to fight with Tuhai to the death, in the face of the urgent request for reinforcements from the Governor of Zhili, Tong Outline, he avoided it as passively as possible, and tried to intervene in the war in the capital. In addition to the small-scale suppression of the peasant 'commotion' instigated by the Yang Qilong uprising in Henan, the Shandong army has been standing still, as far as it is now, this approach is indeed too conservative, and even very stupid, if he had fought hard to mobilize all the forces of Shandong to support the Tuhai army, then history will also be rewritten, the Qing and Han wars of the year, the outcome is unpredictable, and Lin Feng will of course never have such a beautiful scenery as now.

Zhao Shenqiao's strategy is actually the Qing Dynasty version of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, this set of "high walls, extensive grain accumulation, slow king" strategy is obviously a bit out of place, when the Lin Han military group with a thunderous momentum, bloody Liaodong, defeated Geerdan, Shandong has no other choice but to desperately resist and surrender to the Han army.

Therefore, this time, when the victorious division of Commander Lin Feng returned to the army, the envoy of Zhao Shenqiao, the relict of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the governor of Shandong, was ashamed to answer the 'mixed' among the envoys of Yang Qilong in Henan, Zheng Jing in Taiwan and other princes, carrying Zhao Shenqiao's handwritten letter to congratulate the Han Dynasty on the "great victory of Xinzhou".

Lin Feng didn't care about this matter at this time, because of some unspeakable reasons, he was a little afraid to go home, and for a few days, he lived in the General Staff Office under the pretext of being busy with military affairs. At this time, the gentle, skillful, beautiful and kind Han princess Wu Ake Niangniang has been pregnant for nearly seven months, and it is said that her belly is so big that she can't bend over, of course, in this case, the reason why Lin Feng doesn't dare to go home is of course not afraid of being beaten, according to his wife's current physical condition, it is obviously a powerless thing to do with King Han, and the reason why he doesn't dare to go home is that he knows that the pregnant woman must not be stabbed at this time According to Lin Feng's observation, the gossip hobby of the hard-working and kind Beijing people is definitely beyond the level of the times, just the day after returning to Beijing, Lin Feng was desperate to find that Bao Ri Longmei has already become the new darling of Beijing teahouses, it can be said that in Beijing City, as long as you know Chinese, then you must be on the Bao Ri Longmei princess figure and appearance' Sexuality, appearance, life and temperament have a fairly in-depth understanding, and according to reliable sources, many consortia have begun to prepare for the marriage of His Royal Highness King Han.

A group of bigwigs represented by Li Guangdi, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Zhou Peigong, chief of the general staff of the Han Army, are very difficult to understand Lin Feng's psychological feelings, because in today's era, as the king of a country, marrying the princess is absolutely right. Aside from the political factors such as the promotion of fraternal unity and national unity in the ancient Mongolian and ancient ministries, just from the perspective of Gang Lilun Chang, this little wife must be married, and one is probably not enough, as far as the development momentum of the Han army is concerned, the lord ascended the throne as the emperor is probably only a matter of the past few years, in fact, now not only the subjects of the Han Dynasty, but also other princes understand that Lin Feng is an inevitable thing to be the emperor, so according to tradition, since Prince Lin wants to be the emperor, of course, there can be only two or three wives, Although the folklore of the three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines or three thousand fandels and the like is pure nonsense, but the eighty of Bai'er is absolutely true, if His Royal Highness Lin Feng really only marries one wife in his life, wouldn't it be insulting to the country? ! The hard-working and kind Chinese can tolerate anything, but if His Majesty the Emperor really commits such a despicable act because of his own 'selfishness', it is absolutely impossible for the people to forgive, this is a more terrible crime than framing Zhongliang for surrendering and betraying the country, so from a realistic point of view, Lin Feng must also vigorously strengthen the construction of the harem, the main palace and the side palace, both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard, because this is not his own business, this is related to the happiness of the people of the whole country, related to the stability of the country, and related to the future of the nation.

Since the Han Dynasty Dingguo, with the establishment and improvement of various state institutions, because of the division of interests and power, the ministers within the Han Army are not very harmonious, but this time in the treatment of the lord's marriage has shown unprecedented unity, the members of the court have consciously divided labor according to their respective status, and bombed the Han princess in turn, from the ancient era of Emperor E' Nu Ying to Chongzhen's Zhou Houtian Concubine, basically no one is down, and Zhou Pei Gong Chief of Staff has a good review of the "Filial Piety 'Girl' Sutra" and " The Legend of the Martyr' and other important classics explain to the princess every day, trying to start from the traditional moral aspect, so as to break through the psychological defense line of the Han princess.

Regrettably, despite the great efforts of the adults, the effect was obviously not satisfactory, and when the persuasion of several adults was only carried out on the third day, Ah Ke could no longer bear enough, and ordered the eunuchs of the palace to prepare a large sedan chair, and under the protection of the guards, the mighty "dang" and "dang" to the general staff.

Lin Feng was obviously a little overwhelmed by his wife's arrival, so when Ah Ke sat down angrily, he remained in a certain sluggish state.

"Ah Feng, I heard that our Great Han Kingdom has been busy with military affairs recently, and even you, the King of Han, can't move?!" Ke snorted, wrinkled his nose and said.

Lin Feng looked at her big belly worriedly, and hurriedly smiled, "It's okay, it's okay!" ……”

"Oh?! OK?! Ah Ke gave him a blank look, "I'm so busy that I can't go back home, so can I still call it 'okay'?!" ”

"Oh, madam, don't you know," Lin Feng hurriedly walked to the front of the case, and piled up the military reports, "Although we have defeated Geldan now, but General Wang Dahai over there in Anhui is not fighting with Rabu, and I can't help myself!" ”

"Oh...... So that's the case," Ah Ke was noncommittal, nodded and said, "Since the fight is so tight, why didn't the prince send General Baori Longmei to the battle?!" ”

Lin Fengdeng's head was sweating, and he said embarrassedly, "Ahem...... Cough...... This one...... This, madam, that Bao Ri Longmei is our ...... It's an ally of our Han, it's the princess of the 'Mongolian' ancient Tushetu tribe, not a general! ”

"Isn't that right?! I heard that the prince has been soaking with Baori Longmei for the past few days, isn't it to discuss military affairs?! ”

"The sky is above!!" Lin Feng was so frightened that he was so frightened that he immediately swore, "Madam, Pei Gong and Jin Qing can all testify, I have been busy with business for the past few days, but I haven't been with Princess Baori Longmei...... That one...... That 'bubble' ......"

"Come on!" Ah Ke glanced at him and said sneeringly, "Your two ministers have been telling me about three obedience and four virtues, what jealousy, and what seven out of the past few days, it seems that your wife and I are a fierce 'woman', I see that you are all puffed out of one nostril, so what other proof can you have?!" ”

"Of course Madame is not a 'woman'! ......" Lin Feng said with a smile, "If anyone speaks 'messily', this king will cut off his head!" ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, where is that Baori Longmei?!" Ah Ke looked left and right, and walked around the backyard of the ya'men', "I heard that this little fox 'spirit' is very charming, I want to see it with my own eyes!" ”

Lin Feng was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead, and carefully supported her body, "Princess Baori Longmei lives in your hotel, not here!" ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Kanaya Zangjiao!!" Ah Ke sneered, "Lord Wang, you have really grown up this time!" ”

"Madame...... Madame said and laughed, said and laughed! ......" Lin Feng stammered with a smirk on his face.

Ah Ke walked around, sat down on the top again, and said slowly, "I said Ah Feng, I'll be honest with you, I've been heavy in the past two months, I don't know about what you're doing outside, and I don't want to know, how can I say it, you are also a prince, and three wives and four concubines are very common......"

"Don't dare, don't dare...... I'm very honest outside, absolutely nothing, don't worry," Lin Feng wiped a cold sweat and said with a smile, "Madame's words are serious!" ”

Ah Ke ignored him, "In the past few days, Li Xiangye and General Zhou have been coaxing me, although the words are a little ugly, it is not unreasonable, our family is not a small 'door' family, you are the king of a country, and it is indeed appropriate to marry a few concubines!" ”

Lin Fenghu glanced at her suspiciously, and said cautiously, "Madam...... Are you serious?! ”

"Humph!!" Ah Ke's eyes widened, stretched out his finger and poked him, and said viciously, "How is it?" As soon as my mouth is so loose, your fox tail will be 'exposed', right?! ”

"Oh, I ...... I'm kidding!! Lin Feng was shocked and hurriedly remedied, "I'll talk about it in passing...... No...... I don't really mean that!! ”

"Alas! …… Count the pull! Ah Ke was ruthless for a while, but she also understood in her heart that this matter was a foregone conclusion, no matter how she tossed it, it was in vain, she sighed faintly, "Actually, you men, it is this virtue, sweet words at the beginning, and 100 obedience, but this heart will change in a blink ......of an eye, my father was like this back then, and now you are like this."

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, raised a palm, and swore to the sky, "Madam, don't worry, I swear to you here today that this king will definitely have a beginning and an end to you, and he will definitely live up to your affection in this life!" ”

"Let's see!" Ah Ke pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "Your posture is far from good, when my father swore to my mother, he took a big knife to his neck, and later, when those 'eight-faced Guanyin' and 'four-faced Guanyin' came, he should not do anything, who can do anything to him?!" ”

Lin Feng was embarrassed, it was not good to compare with anyone, but he compared that big man with the old turtle, it was really unlucky, and he smiled bitterly at the moment, "I am different from your father......"

"It's different, let's see!!" Ah Ke stood up with great difficulty, "Go home tonight, and then push three and four, be careful of family law!" - I'm tired, go back and rest first! ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, madam, you will go home on time tonight!!" Lin Feng nodded, his waist bent like a shrimp, and he bowed and sent her out of the big 'door', before he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Turning around and returning to the lobby, just as he sat down, Li Ergou, who was on duty at the 'door', suddenly walked in, bowed to Lin Feng and said, "Lord Qiqi, Lord Dai Zidai, the head of the Cao Ordnance Supervision of the Ministry of Industry, asks to see you!" ”

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and casually flipped through the recent records, except for the daily report of the Cao Arsenal of the Ministry of Industry, there is nothing else, you must know that Dai Zi stays in the mine and smelter all the year round, either in Zunhua or Anshan, and often goes back to Beijing, and today suddenly asks to see, it is really a little strange.

Seeing that Lin Feng was stunned, Li Ergou lowered his head and said, "Lord Qiqi, Master Dai seems to have brought a few foreigners, and he told me that these foreigners also want to meet the lord with him!" ”

"Foreigners?!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, "Tell them to come in!" ”
