Chapter 987: Xie Hengnu is happy
After sleeping for a long time, Shen Xi regained his energy, sorted out and summarized the battle report overnight, one to the Yamen of the political envoy of Guangdong Province, and one to the imperial court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Xi's main responsibility is to suppress bandits, and after a big battle, he naturally needs to report the situation.
There is no need for flashy embellishments to write war reports, only the exploits of the officers and men of the three armies in this war can be listed, and the most important thing for the imperial court is the number of enemies killed and prisoners, and there are no rigid requirements for goods.
The spoils of war obtained from the war can basically be distributed except for people and animals.
The imperial court will reward according to the number of officers and soldiers beheaded and captured thieves, and each head and prisoner needs to be verified by the local government, and some captives need to be escorted to the capital.
The emperors of all dynasties often rewarded prisoners of war to meritorious ministers as slaves, and the Hongzhi Dynasty was no exception.
As for the disputes and wars with the local border people over the years, there will also be many prisoners, and the fate of these prisoners is basically the same, being captured by the officials and soldiers means losing the status of good citizens, completely reduced to lowly status, some will be sold, and the rest will be used as cattle and horses, and no one cares about the birth, raising, death and burial.
Shen Xi captured a large number of thieves on the two islands of Tai O and Nan Ao, but he still remembered his previous promise to the old bandits, helping the captured thieves and islanders of Tai O to obtain the status of good citizens, but some of the leaders needed to migrate.
Shen Xi kept his promise and believed in the bandits, which seemed a bit ridiculous at first glance, but in order to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight in the future battle against the bandits, so that the bandits surrendered without a fight. If they blindly slaughter, it is quite unwise for the robbers to hold on to their beliefs and fight to the death.
"My lord, here are two letters, both for you."
Zhu Hong, carrying a long knife at his waist, broke into the big tent of the Chinese army without being announced, and hurried to Shen Xi's table. Shen Xi was very dissatisfied with Zhu Hong's recklessness, Zhu Hong had a lot of irregularities after joining the army, and he looked full of arrogance. On the other hand, Ma Jiu and the Che Ma Gang are in the army, and they have a military temperament.
"What letter? Why not Kumon? ”
Shen Xi stood up, he had to take a certain defensive stance against Zhu Hong's trespassing on the big tent. This can be regarded as a conditioned reflex, a person suddenly broke into the big tent of the Chinese army with a knife, if Shen Xi can still sit peacefully, then his nerves are too big.
Zhu Hong didn't quite understand Shen Xi's words, so he buried his head and looked at it carefully, shook his head, and handed the letter to Shen Xi.
After reading it, Shen Xi knew that the letter was not an official document, but a private letter, one from the capital, which was written by Xie Qian to inquire about the situation in Guangdong, asking Lu Heng if he could help him and if he needed to help him in the capital.
Shen Xi has always felt that Xie Qian uses most of his ingredients, but now that he thinks about it, he is not satisfied, in fact, Xie Lao'er has always been very good to him and gave him many opportunities to perform, of course, he also seized these opportunities, and he supervised the party at a young age.
Moreover, after Shen Xi left Beijing, Xie Qian did not irresponsibly ignore it, and took care of him in all aspects, it seems that Xie Qian completely regarded him as his own family.
In the letter, Xie Qian mentioned some situations in the capital, such as the emperor's dragon health is sick, the crown prince is stubborn, etc., Xie Qian unceremoniously criticized Shen Xi for "being outside but not resting inside", the words were vague, but the meaning of reprimand was obvious.
"Outside", it should be said that the people of Shenxi are in the southeast.
"Inside", it should be said that the capital.
Shen Xi thought about it, he was outside, and the only thing he did to "be uneasy inside" was to keep in touch with the prince, write martial arts novels, and send some gadgets with strange lewd skills to the bear child to play.
It seems that what he did was revealed, but it is not clear how exactly it was leaked.
If this matter was known to the whole court, Xie Qian would not have to write so obscurely, he could directly scold him and wake up the matter, but since Xie Qian did not say it explicitly, it means that the matter is only spreading in a small area, and others do not know that he Shen Xi did it.
Others don't know but Xie Qian knows, either Xie Qian guessed that only Shen Xi could do it based on the complexity of those novels and gadgets, or Jin Gui "betrayed" him.
Xie Qian's level of speculation is not ordinary, if Jin Gui is exposed after the matter is revealed, it is very likely that he will turn to Xie Qian for help in order to protect himself......
Shen Xi didn't know where the problem was for the time being, but he knew in his heart that Zhu Houzhao's life would definitely be difficult at this time.
The emperor is "sick with the dragon", of course, his expectations for the prince are getting stronger and stronger, and he can't wait for his son to become the holy lord of the Ming monarch immediately, but at this time, Zhu Houzhao is addicted to novels and gadgets every day, the emperor must be furious, not to mention that things are confiscated, and Zhu Houzhao will definitely be grounded.
Based on Shen Xi's understanding of Zhu Houzhao's character of being in a rebellious period, this bear child will most likely use some unbelievable methods and means to retaliate against the emperor's sanctions against him, and then ...... The contradiction comes out.
Shen Xi put down the first letter and thought to himself: "Whatever you want, just don't burn this fire on me." ”
Taking out the second letter, Shen Xi looked up, and a knowing smile appeared on his face...... This is his family letter, and Xie Yun'er, as the mother of the family, greets and entrusts him for the whole family.
Xie Yun'er is a careful person, taking into account everyone's concern for Shen Xi in the family. In the letter, she asked everyone to say two sentences to Shen Xi, and she wrote it, although what she said was nothing more than trivial words such as concern and looking forward to returning as soon as possible, but between the lines there was a strong sense of affection, one of which made Shen Xi quite happy: "Jun Mei is pregnant with Liujia, and she is pregnant for two months......"
Xie Hengnu is pregnant!
Shen Xi has been away from home for just over a month, and Xie Hengnu has been pregnant for two months, which is obviously Xiao Nizi's obsession with him during the period before he parted, which made her "take the lead", and became pregnant before Lin Dai, who started early, and became the third pregnant woman by Shen Xi's side.
Shen Xi thought of Xie Hengnu's cheerfulness and cuteness, she was still a girl's family, but she didn't expect to be pregnant first, or she would be a mother soon.
Unconsciously, Shen Xi's face rose with the proud smile of being a husband and a father.
Xie Qian's letter is quite a coincidence, if you tell this news, it should be comforting, right?
Although Xie Pi gave birth to a big fat grandson to Xie Qian, Xie Heng Nu gave birth to Xie Qian's great-grandson, and Xie Qian was officially promoted from the third generation to the fourth generation, which naturally has a very different meaning.
Shen Xi felt the need to write to Xie Qian, not to let Xie Qian use his connections to help him dredge, but simply to tell him the good news and let Xie Lao'er know that his grandson-in-law still had some ability...... Look, your granddaughter married and quickly completed the transformation from a wife to a mother.
After Xie Hengnu became pregnant, his relationship with Xie Qian unconsciously deepened.
Shen Xi couldn't help but think of Hui Niang, who was in Guangzhou Mansion and was also pregnant.
Hui Niang's due date is May, seeing that it is approaching, it is impossible for Shen Xi to tell the family the news that Hui Niang is still alive, and Hui Niang does not dare to write to Shen Xi casually, Shen Xi cares about Hui Niang, but at this time, they are hundreds of miles away from each other, so that they have a heart and cannot accompany them, which makes Shen Xi's original relief and joy suddenly become a little sad and lonely.
"Are you alright, sir?" Zhu Hongli was in the big tent, and he didn't understand what news Shen Xi had learned from the letter, so he looked a little strange.
"You go down, tomorrow we will leave the island, you follow me by land."
Shen Xi kept Zhu Hong by his side, mainly because he was afraid that Zhu Hong would stay in the fleet and point fingers at Ma Jiu, and now someone had to suppress Zhu Hong so that he would not behave recklessly.
This can be regarded as Shen Xi's responsible attitude towards the old Zhu family, and even Zhu Qi said that he hoped that his son could always be by Shen Xi's side and be reminded more.
After letting Zhu Hong retreat, Shen Xi began to write a letter, focusing on telling Xie Qian that his granddaughter Xie Hengnu was happy.
Shen Xi suddenly returned to his heart like an arrow and didn't want to continue his military life...... When he came to this world, although he had a majestic strategy and wanted to take his fate firmly in his own hands, he also longed for the simplicity and peace of being accompanied by his wife and concubine and accompanying him in the peach garden.
