It's a conspiracy, a well-structured, well-prepared, interlocking conspiracy.

Reflecting on everything that happened that day, I came to this conclusion.

The conspiracy began when I received the call letter.

The fat elephant who was in charge of my return to active duty was the hub of this conspiracy. He released the news that I was coming to Chang'an to do business, calculated the approximate time for me to arrive in Chang'an, and notified Jiang Xiaobai to come to Chang'an to stay. As I waited in the small hall, I wondered why the elephant's secretary was smiling so strangely at me. Niang Xipi, it must be the secretary who went out to inform Jiang Xiaobai to arrest someone!

Then, naturally, I was taken away from the ancient elephant's office by Jiang Xiaobai seamlessly, and was quickly sent all the way to the train station and north to Zhangping.

Then, Jiang Yu and his son sent me to the kitchen, dismissed all the idlers, and forced me to face his daughter.

"Really... It's so ruthless..."

But I'm actually self-defeating.

Even if the heroes of the world clearly know Li Shimin's plans, they will still obediently join the world.

Just as even if I subconsciously knew Jiang Xiaobai's plans and subconsciously knew what would happen next, I was still willing to step on his trap.

I really like Jiang Xiaoan, really, really like.

After the showdown in the kitchen, Jiang Xiaoan and I pushed the dining cart to the restaurant.

As expected, Jiang Yu and Jiang Xiaobai were both sitting in precarious positions, changing into a rigorous Hanfu, with their faces strained and their brows slightly furrowed, looking full of worries about the country and the people.

I watched Jiang Yu secretly turn his eyes, and after confirming that Jiang Xiaoan had a gentle smile on his face, he subconsciously let out a breath, and then realized that this was not good, and immediately returned to the disguise of caring for the world, and his whole body faintly exuded a sacred and inviolable aura.

Jiang Xiaoan gently pulled me, I took a deep breath, and called, "Uncle." ”

"Hey..." Jiang Yu immediately couldn't hold back, a smile came out from the inside out, the corners of his mouth almost reached the root of his ears, he got up and walked towards me, patted my arm hard, and laughed: "As before, when are you going to get married?" ”

Me: "......"

Well, I'll admit that I was deeply shocked at the time, why did you want to get married just after I was in a relationship with your daughter? This plot is not right, shouldn't you, as the woman's father, be reluctant to complain, all kinds of grievances, all kinds of hope, your daughter can get married later, shouldn't it be me, the man, who wants to hold your daughter as soon as possible?

Later, when I chatted with Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai said to me with a look of hatred: "What the hell are you thinking, my sister was 25 years old at that time, you are not in a hurry to get married, my sister has to be in a hurry, you don't know that when we go back to our hometown during the Chinese New Year, those relatives are asking why my sister is still single at such an old age, and they all want to introduce her to someone." ”

I suddenly realized that the Australian Song Dynasty in this world was at the level of Britain in the early to mid-19th century, (the age of marriage for women is far younger than that of China in the 21st century, although it is not as exaggerated as the current Ming Dynasty, but the aristocratic woman who has not married at the age of 25 is indeed a little strange) Eh, but speaking of which, high-achieving students like me and Jiang Xiaobai graduated from famous military academies, and they are all from aristocratic backgrounds, and they are still singles at the age of 24 and 26, which is really rare.

Having said that, after Jiang Yu asked a question that touched the depths of his soul, Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Xiaoan let out a polite and embarrassing laugh at the same time to round the game, Jiang Yu also realized that he seemed to be in a hurry to ask, and sat down with a smile and beckoned everyone to eat.

In the next few days, there was actually nothing to record, because the biggest problem that the Jiang family brought me here was solved on the first day, and after that, they just took me around.

As for me and Jiang Xiaoan, what else can I do if I stay at the woman's house? At most, they just walked around the park hand in hand, rowed on the moonlit lake, and then exchanged their first kisses.

What we talked about at that time, I can't remember now. The only thing that I kept in mind was that she said, "I will go to Mingguo to find you."

On February 16, 1629, Jiang Xiaobai and I boarded the train heading north and left Zhangping.

Looking at Jiang Yu and Jiang Xiao'an, who were gradually disappearing on the platform, Jiang Xiaobai touched me and jokingly asked me if I was reluctant to give up his sister.

I said that Lao Tzu, a manly husband, traveled thousands of miles to and from the northern and southern hemispheres, how could he be reluctant to let your sister go, but then again, Xiao'an said that she knew my feelings that night, so did you beat me up in the dormitory to give your sister anger and clean up a scumbag, or because when I was playing truth or dare, I was dissatisfied with the shit of you getting drunk in the toilet while taking a shower and singing, and finally sang hi and ran out to dance with your bare butt, and found a reason to make trouble?

Jiang Xiaobai immediately looked at him left and right, lowered his head and said something like "the things of the reader...", "there are four ways to write the 'fennel' of 'fennel bean'", and other things that I didn't understand, so I didn't have the courage to continue to tease me.

I ignored him, leaning on the pillow of my sleeper and thinking about the current situation in the world.

Due to the fact that the Australian Song Dynasty only started the magnificent era of great voyage and colonization after the Senate crossed over, the situation of all countries in the world has not been greatly affected now, and it is basically developing in accordance with the historical trend.

The history of Europe at that time, which I did not know much about in my previous life, was only known through the relevant newspapers and private travelogues published at that time, that it was nothing more than that Charles I, the unfortunate king of England, was in a foul fight with Parliament, was strangled, had no money to fight, and could only take measures such as forcibly borrowing money and instructing soldiers to break into people's houses, and then continue to escalate the conflict with Parliament, so as to lay a good foundation for himself to be the first monarch in Europe to be publicly executed in the future.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the current Western calendar of the Australian Song Dynasty is February, so the Chinese lunar calendar is about January, and Emperor Chongzhen is still busy arranging various charges for Wei Gonggong and his henchmen, and then fell into the arms of the Donglin party without any power to fight back.

Alas, Zhu Youzhen is still too young and does not know how to balance, and he will no longer be able to cultivate a force that can confront the Donglin Party in the years to come.

As for the focus of the military strategy of the Chinese Governor-General, the situation in Liaodong is in a strange balance.

On the one hand, the Jinzhou Fortress, which was personally controlled by Ao Song, firmly guarded the security of the Lushun Peninsula and provided a stable mainland base for Dongjiang Town. At the same time, we also provided boats to emigrate many family members of Donggang Town to Jeju Island, which we occupied, to relieve Donggang's worries, so the morale of the Donggang army at this time was far better than in history.

On the other hand, although Yuan Dudu was still determined to block the food supply of Dongjiang Town, the high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and pumpkins provided by the early Song Dynasty greatly alleviated the food crisis at this time. Moreover... Ao Song transported grain to Port Arthur, saying that it was for his own people, did the Daming sailor dare to say a word of gossip?

Because of the need to maintain the armed confrontation on the Isthmus of Jinzhou, the military operation to conquer Chahar has shrunk a little compared with history, and the expedition that should have ended in October of the lunar calendar last year has been delayed to the beginning of 29 years, and it is still digesting the spoils of war, and I don't know if it will have a butterfly effect on the entrance battle at the end of this year.

I looked sideways and saw that Jiang Xiaobai was already asleep on the sleeper, and I couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"This guy doesn't know the development of history, but now the ignorant don't have to worry about it." I stretched and grabbed the pillow to cover my face, "No matter, thinking about it, it's upset, the sky is falling and there is a senate on top, what do I want to do so much as a wild traverser who has not been prepared." ”

"Anyway, no matter how much Houjin hangs up, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they can still defy the sky in this world."
