When Shouhan returned to the inner house, Xiao Huamei was basking in the sun with her younger siblings in the newly built sun room with her mother.

Mei Shan, Shi Lin, and Yan Meier added two more men and one woman before and after Shouhan. In order to ensure the healthy growth of the babies, the Shouhan ordered the people to build this sun room for their wives and children with glass in the inner house. He also ordered some of the flowers and trees he had collected to be placed in the house, and turned this sunroom into a greenhouse.

The house, which is inlaid with stained glass in the middle of a thin copper strip as a skeleton, is about the size of five bays, and in the bright sunlight, it glows dreamily.

Wives and children can let those little babies bask in the sun in such an environment that is touching the flowers and plants, and they don't have to worry about being blown by the wind.

was teasing her younger siblings lying in the cradle woven with gold wire, Hua Mei could hear the footsteps, looked up, and immediately screamed in surprise.

"Daddy!" Like a spring swallow, he threw himself into Shouhan's arms.

"Daddy hug!"

Behind Hua Mei, like a clumsy bear, Xiao Huayu opened his arms inarticulate and asked Daddy to hug him. Behind him, the other daughter of Shouhan, who was also dressed like a flower, Mei Shan gave birth to Xiao Huaduo for Shouhan, also opened her delicate arms and asked her father to hug her.

According to the meaning of Shouhan, the names of the boys in the family are all taken with the words with the treasure cover, and the daughter's name, because of Huamei, is chosen from the words next to the wooden characters.

Seeing that Shouhan looked uncertain, Yan Mei'er, who was wrapped in a headscarf around her head, gently called her children back. "You all come here, don't pester Daddy anymore!"

She put down the stack of paper in her hand, rubbed her cheeks, ordered someone to make tea and snacks for Shouhan, and asked her man with a smile, "Didn't you say today that you would go to the chemical workshop to inspect their new process?" How did you come back so early? ”

A few days ago, a chemical workshop submitted a report, saying that they had studied how to extract the iodine from kelp, and the process of refining sugar from corn. Shouhan was very excited, and with iodine and glucose, he could carry out the silver mirror reaction. Further reduce the cost of mirror manufacturing. Mirrors can be further manufactured on a large scale and sold to various places to make money for the South China Army. Today I was going to go to the chemical workshop to see their academic achievements, but I didn't expect to come back halfway.

"What are you holding?" There is no positive answer to the wife's question, on the contrary. Instead, he asked Yan Mei'er. Shouhan was very interested in the stack of papers in his wife's hand.

"Oh! Isn't this to give Huaning, Huaxuan and Hualiu a hundred years old? The person at the bottom drew up a list of guests to be invited by relatives and friends. Let me check. See if there's anything missing. I've seen it here, and I'm going to take it to the Reiji to see if there is anything else to add to the gentlemen of the Reiji. ”

Shouhan took the paper in Yan Mei'er's hand full of names and remarks of kinship. After flipping through a few pages, he stretched out his hand and gestured, "Pen!" ”

Mei Shan, who was taking care of the newborn on the side, handed a red pen to Shouhan with great eyes.

"This group of people from Arakan, don't be among the guests we invited!"

The tip of Shouhan's pen swiped a few times on the paper, and crossed out the names of more than a dozen people in Arakan.

"List them among the subordinates of the Nanzhong Army!"

"This? Is it appropriate? When Erya was 100 years old and caught Zhou, everyone came to give gifts. ”

Although Yan Mei'er doesn't know much about the outside world, she is very clear about the accounts exchanged by relatives and friends.

"I just received an urgent report from the front line, Arakan could not resist the attack of the king of Donghu, and put forward a request to us to be attached, and the king of Arakan said that as long as he can save the life of his family, he is willing to be a general of my Nanzhong army."

"Oh! That's a good thing! Does it mean that our South Central Army has to expand its territory again?! ”

Yan Mei'er was a little happy.

"Not bad! Moreover, because of Arakan's proximity to the sea, there were many good sailors among the natives, and sailors could be recruited from there to serve in the sailors and fleets in the future. ”

Under the aggressive offensive of the Mangying family of the Taungoo regime in Burma, the king of Arakan could not resist it, and at this time, the minister of the country offered him a plan, and the Mangying family wanted not only my land and people in Arakan, but also our lives and property, so we simply dedicated the land and people to the Nanzhong Army, found a big tree to hug, and asked the Nanzhong Army to protect our property and lives, in exchange for an official and a half-job, and continue to enjoy wealth and prosperity.

As a result, the southwestern coastal areas of Burma, starting from the Chin Ling in the north and reaching the west side of the Irrawaddy River Delta in the south, announced their annexation to the Nanzhong Army at the unanimous request of the Arakan Dynasty, from the king to the ministers. When the Burmese king Anabilon heard the news, he saw that the banners of the Nanzhong Army were hanging at the heads of the various towns and cities in front of him, and he did not dare to make a mistake, so he hurriedly ordered the generals of the former enemy to lead the army to retreat.

"The seal they demanded had been sent to Hue by Portuguese clipper. The seal said that as long as we save their lives, they are willing to live in any place designated by the South Central Army. It would be even better if I could give them a half-official position and receive a salary! ”

Yan Mei'er was a little puzzled, "They asked for it to be attached, why was the seal sent by the Portuguese?" ”

"You don't know about this."

After taking a sip of tea, Shouhan's mind also calmed down a little.

"This Arakan has always been a good sailor, and he has some connection with the Portuguese pirates and the so-called soldiers, and many Portuguese sailors on board are Arakans! Inevitably, there are some inexplicable relationships between them. Moreover, the two families once fought together against the king of Taungoo in Burma. At present, Gonzalez's Portuguese Restoration Army is recruiting soldiers and sailors in the Arakan region, and there is a lot of incense in the two. In this way, the Portuguese sent this stamp to Hue by clipper! ”

"Xianggong, did you promise them?"

"Promise! Of course I agreed! Not only did I agree, but I also asked them if they would like to ask for the right to trade in a certain area, or would they like to have the right to trade in a certain area? ”

"Then, will the Donghu Wang Mangying family give up? This Arakane is a mouthful of fat meat in their eyes! Now the boiled duck flies. Will they admit it? Li Muhua, who was holding Xiao Huayu, walked out from the depths of the flowers.

"That's the trend! Not long ago, Xu Huanshan led the troops to Qinghua, and originally wanted to have a big fight with the Mo family, but the result was that the punch was empty, and Mo Deling gave all the old and young Mo Jingkuan's family to surrender. This guy was unwilling, so he led his troops westward to rest. It's right now on the back of the Mangying family! If he dares to speak a little disrespectfully, he will face the enemy on both sides! ”

It turned out that the Western Front had won the battle, and when he heard that the Mo family, who had been an enemy of his family for many years, was tied up by his subordinates and surrendered out of the city, Li Muhua didn't know what it was like. Anyway. I saw this scene from behind the victor. Consider yourself a winner!

"Then, why is the husband still a little unhappy?" Coaxing Xiao Huaning to sleep, Mei Shan hurriedly came to Shouhan's side, and the milky fragrance on her body was mixed with her own body fragrance. It is even more charming in the midday sun.

Shouhan looked at Mei Shan's plump figure after giving birth with some obsession. Long sigh!

In the morning, I received several urgent documents in a row.

In addition to the seal attached to this Arakan requirement. It is a bonus, and the rest of the documents are new in several strategic directions!

Zhang Xiaohu on the Eastern Front. He led a huge fleet of 6,000 recruits to Luzon to recover the land that had been occupied by the Spaniards for many years and had caused the Chinese to shed blood and tears. In accordance with the traditional habits and the regulations of the naval division of the Nanzhong Army, the naval division divided the personnel into financial deputies according to their respective responsibilities, and was in charge of goods and money. Defend the general and coordinate the events on board. The fire is long, and the control is more leaky and the needle path. The aban, the helmsman, the big and the two, manage the rope. The head and the second park, the division. First, second, and third, the mast rope. Escort and manage the cargo on board. Select the warehouse and clean the cabin. Total sales, management of food. Xianggong, in charge of the sacrifice.

Dozens of ships rushed all the way to Luzon!

However, the same fate appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohu!

When his flagship had just appeared in Manila Bay, the soldiers on the batteries on the hills on both sides spotted the swaggering three-headed tiger emblem. The panicked people sounded the alarm and passed on the bad news that the rats that had looted the islands of Luzon had arrived with a huge fleet of them.

After sounding the alarm, the soldiers on the fort consciously sat on the ground of the fort, placed the gunpowder and shells separately, and waited for the Nanzhong army to come and receive them.

"Why not resist? Why don't you open fire?! ”

When Zhang Xiaohu learned the shocking news from the sailors, he jumped up on the deck of the bridge and scolded the street.

"These eggless goods!"

"My lord! According to the confessions of this group of Spaniards and Luzon natives, the business of Luzon Island is basically controlled by Fujian villagers, and only a few people can make a fortune, and the rest of the hundreds of Spaniards have been poor for a long time. I wish I could do something here in my Nanzhong Army, so that I could receive a military salary. ”

"Pu your mother! You dogs! ”

Outside Manila, Zhang Xiaohu was angry when he saw Viscount Don Perez, the Spanish governor in Manila, who was smiling with a white flag and leading a group of civil and military officials to welcome him on the dock.

Zhang Xiaohu stopped the hall. Viscount Perez's dress, if someone hadn't pulled him next to him, our Commander Zhang's big slap would have been Viscount Perez's fat face.

"General Zhang, I'm here to surrender, do you think I'm too late to surrender?"

Mr. Perez looked at Commander Zhang with an innocent expression.

(Am I easy?) Over the years, you have controlled the economy of Luzon, and all the Chinese have stopped paying taxes, not to mention the poll tax and other payments that go to the small treasury of the Governor's Palace! How much tax and wealth can you expect from those lazy natives to collect? But in addition to doing business every day, the Chinese are dancing with knives and guns, how can these hundreds of Spanish soldiers in my hands deal with tens of thousands of Chinese with knives and guns? OK! That Governor Li left me some business to do, or I would have to spend time on this hot island like those unlucky soldiers and monks! ）

"Oops! I'll lose you mother! Seeing that the opponent was like this, Zhang Xiaohu, who originally thought that he could do a big job in Manila, stayed in the hall. The collar of Viscount Perez, who brought him to the battery of Manila City. Pointing to the sea in the distance.

"For you! And this group of Spaniards in Luzon, Lao Tzu came with forty boats! Sailors and sailors alone are thousands! I was going to practice my hands and feet here with you, but you dog thing raised a white flag and surrendered! ”

"Your Excellency. In fact, I also have a certificate of nomination for the South China Army. ”

Viscount Tang Perez gave full play to his characteristics of being a nobleman among hooligans and a hooligan among nobles, lowered his head and leaned into Zhang Xiaohu's ear, and whispered to him.

"What kind of vote?! Is there anything Zhang said about the petition?! ”

Zhang Xiaohu scolded this uneducated Western-Haired Man, and a sense of cultural superiority arose spontaneously in his heart.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's contemptible people who don't learn well. ”

Hall. Perez, as the Spanish governor in Manila, naturally knew some secrets of the Spanish Empire, and not so long ago, he received letters. Correspondence from the Viceroyalty of Peru. A Spanish fleet shipped large quantities of gold and silver from Peru. To trade in the East, the goods and profits obtained would be transported by the fleet to Spain, supporting the empire in the holy war in Europe.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiaohu is worthy of being a pirate, and he heard that there was a fleet of ships transporting gold and silver. Immediately let go of his hands like iron tongs. Wrapped his arms around Perez's neck. The two of them are as good as a pair of brothers who have been reunited after countless hardships and hardships for a long time.

"How much gold and silver are there in the fleet that you are talking about?"

He spoke to Perez in the tone of his own brother, and the tone of his voice was so affectionate that the people around him felt sweaty. Goosebumps all over my body!

"When I set out, there were about a million taels of gold, and about five million taels of silver, and besides, there seemed to be some gems like emeralds. There were seven or eight chests of these gems. ”

"Good! Good! Zhang Xiaohu laughed wildly and patted the hall. Perez's shoulder, "I've taken over this treasure for the South China Army!" When this money is in hand, you will not be rewarded according to the regulations! ”

"All the lords are promoted!"

Zhang Xiaohu laughed proudly in his heart, one million taels of gold, five million taels of silver, and a few boxes of gems, these belongings, even if they fall into the hands of the Nanzhong Army, this year's military expenditure, together with next year's military expenditure, I'm afraid they will all be gone? This trip to Luzon, although it did not receive the effect of military training, but the loss of the east corner of the mulberry harvest can be regarded as more than the loss!

The former Governor of the Spanish Empire in Manila, Viscount Perez, bowed to Zhang Xiaohu very decently, and then respectfully invited Zhang Xiaohu and the soldiers of the Southern Chinese Army to enter the city.

After a short rest and replenishment in the city of Manila, the soldiers and horses stationed here were left behind and handed over to the new Luzon prefect Zhang Cheng to command, Zhang Xiaohu led the fleet to the eastern seas, ready to welcome the guests who traveled thousands of miles to transport goods to Manila.

"Then, did Zhang Xiaoliuzi succeed?"

Xiao Huamei, who blinked curiously and listened to Daddy's story of the sailor, was very anxious to hear the result.

"Erya! Don't be without rules! ”

Yan Mei'er reprimanded her daughter with a tiger face.

"Either call someone else's official position, Commander Zhang, or call him Uncle Zhang, how can anyone call someone like that?"

After listening to A-Niang's reprimand, Xiao Huamei just stuck out her tongue quirkily and parroted it.

"May I ask my father, Zhang Xiaohu, the commander of the left wing of my Nanzhong Army's naval division, led the naval division's gunboats to Luzon Island, and led the army out to fight against the Spanish naval division, I don't know what the outcome is?"

Looking at this little girl's look of an adult, everyone smiled.

Shouhan laughed for a while, took out two things from his clothes pocket, and held them in the palm of his hand, "Guess what?" ”

"Is it the royal seal of the King of Luzon?!"

Xiao Huamei said confidently to Daddy.

"It's not! Where is the king of Luzon? Guess again! ”

"What is it?"

"Could it be Zhang Xiaoliuzi, the spoils of Zhang Da's command?"

Xiao Huamei was a little unsure.

"Heavenly spirits, earth spirits. Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law! ”

After Shouhan made a fuss, his hands were spread outward, and in his palms, two emerald gems radiated a lovely light under the sunlight.

"Yikes!" Everyone exclaimed. In recent years, with the control of the east-west route by the South China military, it has almost monopolized the trade with the Europeans, and extracted taxes on the route. Everyone in the mansion said that they were a few ladies, Fu Bo and Shouhan himself, and even the maids and ladies around those wives were also accustomed to seeing rare treasures. However, I have never seen such a large and moist emerald!

"This is the trophy sent back by Zhang Xiaoliuzi, along with these emeralds back to Hue, as well as the intact Spanish treasure fleet. Our sailor is also half back. Xiao Liuzi took twenty boats composed mainly of those recruits, and went to Dayuan, preparing to pull out the Spanish stronghold there and hand it over to Zheng Zhilong. Then go back to Hue to celebrate! ”

Several women glanced at each other, and there were frequent good news in all directions, why was their man so sullen?

No matter how openly and secretly they fight with each other on weekdays, everyone knows that this family, no one can do it, once Shouhan falls, it will really fall the Optimus White Jade Pillar and the Sea Purple Gold Beam, and the sky of the whole family will collapse!

Chen Tianhua of the Northern Front and Li Peiting of Guangzhou jointly sent a petition for guilt, and the Northern Route Army suffered a loss. In Xin'an County, they were intercepted by the landlords' armed forces organized by the local tyrants, and more than 1,000 displaced people who threw themselves into our southern Chinese army were killed, more than 4,000 were wounded, more than 170 soldiers were killed in battle, and nearly 500 were wounded. This is a huge loss that this Nanzhong Army has never had since its founding! ”

"Tianhua raised troops to take revenge on the third day after the incident, but in Jiqingwei and other strongholds, he returned again. More than 100 people were killed and wounded! (To be continued......)
