Chapter 870: Heroines, Female Generals!
The marriage between Xu Changqing and Zheng Chagu seems to be very hyped and extremely luxurious, but many people suddenly find it after arriving in Haicheng......
Marriage is indeed the main theme of Haicheng, but more of it is the prosperity and comfort of Haicheng life.
Not to mention the gold cave like the Splendid Pavilion, it is not a problem to spend a thousand gold overnight, but even if you don't want to spend money, you just want to appreciate the city and appreciate the life of the city, there are still countless ways.
For gluttonous customers who like to eat and appetite, Haicheng not only has fatty river fresh, but also has all kinds of seafood on the day, such as Lu cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Qinchuan cuisine, and a hundred flowers are blooming, all-inclusive.
For people who like to go shopping, there are countless commercial streets and pedestrian streets in Haicheng, there are four or five in the city in the big business district alone, where you can buy almost any clothes, jewelry, fat powder, and all kinds of imported goods you want to buy, and the price is not expensive.
For talented and beautiful people who like literary exchanges, there are many poetry clubs and poetry clubs in Haicheng, and it is not too easy to find an organization.
In short, as long as you have needs, Haicheng can meet them in almost all aspects, even if you don't have enough money, you don't have to work too hard to find a job to support your family.
In particular, the Splendid Pavilion and the troupe have been making continuous efforts recently, with several big plays every night, and many top Oirans are personally on the battlefield to lead the way.
People suddenly discovered that the marriage between Xu Changqing and Zheng Chagu was left behind.
This is exactly the effect that Xu Changqing is pursuing.
Although there are already twenty or thirty people in Xu Changqing's back house at this time, among them, for various reasons, there are also many noble and low, but to put it bluntly, they are all his Xu Changqing's women, and they are all accepted into the house, which is already a legal fact.
Then, as a man, as the head of this family, Xu Changqing has the responsibility and obligation to give them a wonderful wedding.
But this thing is not realistic......
It's not that Xu Changqing has no spare strength, and it's not that Xu Changqing lacks this bit of silver, but ...... The etiquette system and interests are all here, and it is difficult for Xu Changqing to trespass.
Taking a step back, Zheng Chagu's identity is indeed very noble, and the Zheng family also has a considerable foundation as the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, but can their Zheng family be more noble than Zhu Yujiao?
When Zhu Yujiao entered the Xu family, there was no such a big special office, your Zheng family, just mud legs, do you still want to go beyond the bounds?
Therefore, things are very beautiful on the surface, but it is only a political need, and in the Xu Mansion, the rules that should be there cannot be broken.
In this regard, Zheng Zhilong was a little aggrieved, but his open-minded experience understood that Xu Changqing's approach was the safest and a long-term solution.
Zheng Chagu was very open-minded and had no complaints about it.
Because of the education she received, to a large extent, she may be at a higher level than Zhu Yujiao, Dong Gu, and Kong Sizhen, so she naturally understands when to be reluctant and when to be low-key.
Of course, in order to make up for Aunt Zheng Cha, Xu Changqing also compensated her enough.
This makes the whole situation hot on the outside and cold on the inside, but there is plenty of tranquility in the hustle and bustle, and everything is under control.
……
The wedding date was set on March 29 of the third year of Hongguang.
Today is the twenty-fifth, and there are still four days left before the wedding, but Xu Changqing is a little busier at this time than when he got married......
Because the entire elite class of the Ming Dynasty, countless wealthy businessmen, even the Tusi in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, all sent their sons-in-law or the number two in the clan to congratulate Xu Changqing.
At this time, the general trend of the world is still slightly fluctuating, and many people Xu Changqing must come forward to receive them in person.
These people are much more transparent than the common people.
They understood the true ceremony of Xu Changqing's marriage to a flat wife, and it was impossible to make Xu Changqing ugly, hand over the gifts, express their intentions, and then no longer be involved, and turn their heads to enjoy the prosperity of Haicheng, just wait for the newlywed to come out of the war song field and drink a wedding wine.
In the morning, he entertained several big toasts from the Yunnan-Guizhou region, Xu Changqing was just about to take a breath, and suddenly a personal soldier came to report: "Dashuai, Taibao and Prince Taibao, Qin Yiming, the nephew of the loyal marquis, is here......"
"Huh?"
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Go, go and please!" ”
But after saying that, Xu Changqing slapped himself the mouth, and strode out, "I'll invite it personally!" ”
"Uh, this ......"
The soldiers were a little stunned, and they really couldn't imagine that this loyal marquis who had never heard of it was sacred?
He is a mere nephew, and he can let Xu Changqing personally greet him.
In the front yard of the official hall, a sturdy man dressed in a bright red Ming official robe, with a navy blue headbag with national characteristics, about his early forties, and a weathered face, was carefully looking at the surrounding scenery with a little apprehension.
To be honest, Haicheng gave him the feeling that it was only worse than Nanjing, this is a city that is almost prosperous to the bone, which makes him very uncomfortable, as if he is just a humble ant, out of place with this world.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the front hall, and as soon as the man looked up, he saw a young man in a black robe, extremely young, but also extremely heroic, striding out, and immediately greeted him with his fists, and laughed: "But the loyal marquis Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming and General Qin?" ”
In this state, even if you think about Qin Yiming with your ass, you can understand that the heroic young man in front of him is the legendary Haicheng Hou Ye Xu Changqing.
Hurriedly knelt on one knee, saluted respectfully, and said in his official dialect with a strong Sichuan flavor: "Qin Yiming, the commander of the Shizhufu Commander-in-Chief of Shizhu, has seen the Marquis of Haicheng......"
As he spoke, he knocked his head a few times.
Xu Changqing laughed and helped Qin Yiming up with his own hands: "Qin Junmen is polite, please." ”
Qin Yiming originally thought that a person like Xu Changqing, who was young and ambitious, must be rebellious, and his heart was difficult for ordinary people to hold, who would have thought that he was so good at talking, and his heart and liver that had been raised in his throat were also slightly relaxed.
As long as Xu Changqing has no ill will towards him, things will be easy, even if he looks down on him, it is a trivial matter.
But when the two came to the guest hall, the delicate maid served fragrant tea, and Qin Yiming suddenly found that this young man was noble, and instead of looking down on them as natives, he was in a dilemma and respected them very much.
This made Qin Yiming a little surprised.
What's going on?
The magnates of the imperial court, when did they speak so well......
Seeing that Qin Yiming was slightly relaxed, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "How is the old general's health recently?" Changqing has admired the old general's name for a long time, and has always wanted to visit, but the war in the north continues to be tense, and there has been no opportunity, which is the shock of Changqing's life. Back then, outside the city of Shenyang, on the bank of the Hunhe River, although the old general did not come in person, the heroic martial arts of Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan have been the idols of Changqing since childhood......"
Saying that, seeing Qin Yiming's somewhat dumbfounded and silly appearance, Xu Changqing smiled and continued to praise Qin Liangyu and their Qin family, as well as the husband's Ma family, for their contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and even said that it was a great achievement.
In the history of China, there are not many real female generals.
Counting forward, it must belong to the Mulan who 'served in the army for his father'.
In the future, it is the Yang family general of the old lady.
But whether it is Hua Mulan or Yang Jiajiang, they all have a bit of a wild history, and it is more about the people's yearning for beauty.
But Qin Yiming in front of him is a descendant of the Qin family, and his father Qin Bangping is the chief general of the white pole soldiers in the Battle of the Hunhe River, and he is bloody on the banks of the Hunhe River until his soul is broken.
Here, we must talk about the background of the Battle of the Hunhe River.
How to say it, to use an inappropriate analogy, it's like joining the country in XX year. Army......
Before the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers rushed to Shenyang, the situation in Liaodi had been eroded, and the Ming official army collapsed on all fronts and retreated to Guangning.
However, the two madmen of the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers did it so straight.
Needless to say, this is the bloodline left by Qi Jiguang's grandfather back then, with abundant training, even if the equipment is far from enough, the grain and grass have been eaten without the next meal, and that kind of combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to the ordinary Ming army.
The white-pole soldiers are even more fierce on this side.
Because of the policy on treating ethnic minority Tusi formulated by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang back then, the Tusi power in these areas was too large, and the living conditions of the local mountain people were extremely bad, so the temperament became quite strong.
Their weapons were completely different from the ordinary Ming army, and after the start of the war, the Qing army was extremely awkward, and in the face of the combination of the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers, those cavalry archery that the real Manchuria was most proud of were not easy to use, and suffered heavy losses.
It was Mang Gurtai, one of the four great Baylors who were invincible back then, who confessed for a while, and did not dare to fight with the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers anymore.
Later, there was really no way, it was Fushun horse Li Yongfang who bought the red-clothed gunners of the Shenyang car with a lot of money and bombarded them with heavy artillery, which was to smash the defense line of the two remnants of the army and take them down.
But at that time, they had only held out on the banks of the Hunhe River for more than three days with a scale of less than 10,000 people......
That is, the Ming army at that time was already useless, and the civilian officials at the decision-making level were all wine bags and rice bags, but if they pushed forward a few years and met someone with real skills, history would have to be rewritten.
The Battle of the Hunhe River must definitely be regarded as the real first victory of the Ming Dynasty against the Manchus, which played the sharpness of the Han people and the bones of this dynasty.
It's a pity that for various reasons, they are destined to be too small and have not really leveraged the rolling wheels of history......
At this time, the son-in-law of the main general of Hunhe was in front of him, even if he was a little mediocre, he had been polished off by life, but Qin Liangyu was still alive, how could Xu Changqing not be excited and excited?
If you study it more carefully, the battle of Hunhe is also a weather vane for the Qin Liangyu family and the husband's Ma family to show weakness.
Even though they didn't have a lot of men at that time, it was only three or five thousand.
But ~, this base is nothing to the huge Han people, but for them...... Not to mention that the whole family is out of the nest, it's almost the same......
This also directly led to the fact that when Zhang Xianzhong rebelled in Sichuan in the future, the Qin family and the Ma family no longer had much power to resist, so they could only defend the stone pillar.
And the battle of the Hunhe River is just a shining point in Qin Liangyu's life.
Whether it was the Lu'an Rebellion of the year, or the fight against the exiled people's army or the Qing army, as long as they could exert their strength, they basically had their figure.
His son Ma Xianglin adhered to Xiangyang, and before he died, he wrote a letter to Qin Liangyu: "My son swears to live and die together in Xiangyang, and I hope that adults will not think about the safety of my son." ”
Qin Liangyu's reply was only one sentence: "Good, good, really Wu'er!" ”
If you count her brother, brother, and daughter-in-law who sacrificed their lives for the country back then...... The core of the Qin family and the Ma family is almost all about to be cleaned......
This kind of brilliance also makes Qin Liangyu the first and only hero in the 5,000-year history of China who has been recorded in the official history as a general.
Before Xu Changqing, he always thought that he had missed Qin Liangyu's era, and missed this heroine, but he chatted with Zhu Cihong after arriving in Nanjing, and only then did he find that Qin Liangyu was still alive at this time, but time was probably running out......
Zhu Cihong originally wanted to wait for Qin Liangyu to fall before he wantonly sealed her, but Xu Changqing directly insisted on sealing her in advance.
To a large extent, Qin Liangyu's ability to get the lord of this 'loyal marquis' at this time was also facilitated by Xu Changqing's efforts.
It's just that the news has only been sent out for a long time, and it has not spread to the world, and it has not spread too widely.
By the time Xu Changqing finished speaking, Qin Yiming was already stupid.
Who would have thought that Xu Changqing, who is famous, invincible, and already the first person in the Ming military, is actually ...... Her aunt's little fan brother......
Even his aunt's identity at this time is eight times out of ten. Nine is also Xu Changqing's vigorous promotion of ......
Qin Yiming just wanted to speak and express his gratitude for his aunt, but outside, suddenly there was a report from his own soldiers, and the envoy of the Great Western Army arrived.
