Chapter 375: Happy Events Are Approaching
In the golden autumn of October, the so-called harvest season, the people harvested the crops, as for the alternative harvest above the court, I don't know what it will look like now, not to mention it for the time being, but Zhang Fan has also had a harvest, that is the seed he planted in the middle of this year, ten months of gestation, and it should be time to harvest.
Ru Xue was pregnant for ten months, and now it is time to give birth, saying that two months ago, that is, in August, Ru Xue was still able to barely walk on the ground, but after entering September, she couldn't even get out of bed and stand up alone.
Although Zhang Fan is now a rising star in the DPRK, not to mention that his recent insight into Grohe has made a huge change in the situation in the DPRK, and at the same time made many people's eyes turn to him, but even if Zhang Fan has the ability and is appreciated by the emperor, he is just a man in the end, not an omnipotent person, some things say that he is powerless, he is powerless, just like this woman is pregnant, for a big man, in impatience or worry, it has no effect.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan has always been a relatively calm person, since he can't help much, then simply don't ask too much, the so-called art industry has a specialization, this kind of thing is naturally a professional to worry about, but Zhang Fan, who came from five hundred years later, naturally knows what kind of characters those so-called midwives are, relying not on technology but on experience, and even some people have delivered babies for others for decades, and they only rely on countless times of proficiency, and the real theoretical knowledge is not at all. Although it is said that practice brings true knowledge, but let this person who doesn't know anything at all do it, Zhang Fan ignored the opposition of his mother Zhao, and specially hired a girl to live at home to deal with possible situations, although it is said that the ancient Langzhong would not ask about giving birth to such a thing, but, at least, if something special happens, it is also much more convenient.
During this period of time, the Ming Dynasty was quite stable, so Zhang Fan was not too busy, but Zhang Fan, who had a lot of things to deal with every day, had no way to stay at home all day with Ru Xue, Jiangnan side, experienced Qi Jiguang's more than ten years of anti-Japanese history, the trouble of the Japanese has been much less, and the large-scale Japanese trouble has long been gone, and the big war in July this year can be regarded as a huge momentum, and the news is also spreading, many Japanese pirates heard the news and saw 20,000 people, including 10,000 Japanese pirates, 10,000 regular soldiers from Fusang were actually wiped out in the land south of the Yangtze River, and the Ming side, just because of the lack of preparation and haste at the beginning, as well as the impulsive actions of some generals, killed and wounded about seven or eight thousand people, there were no other casualties, but the most important point is that although the impact of this war was quite deep, it almost did not hurt any people.
But even so, there are still many people above who are not satisfied, after all, seven or eight thousand casualties are not a small number, even if it is like the land of northern Xinjiang, all day long in the situation of worrying about the Tartars going south, there has never been a battle to consume such a number of people, but now in the face of these Ming Dynasty has never been the opponent of the Japanese Kou, there are such heavy casualties, naturally there are people who are dissatisfied, of course, take this opportunity to send some money, dredge and dredge, and there are not a few people who want to put themselves on the throne, In short, many leading generals in the land of Jiangnan, and many officials who have been in charge of the military have undergone great changes, but despite this, there is still a firm opinion in the court, of course, Zhang Fan is also indispensable in this, that is, the army in the land of Jiangnan can never be released anymore The army in the land of Jiangnan is so scattered, and now it seems that how to say it, Longqing is going to pay close attention to the army construction in Jiangnan.
And Zhang Fan, the meritorious person of the Jiangnan War, did not put his mind on this, compared to it, he was still more concerned about the situation in Fusang.
And in the north, things have been developing in a good direction, at the beginning of this year and I signed the terms of the tribute market, the border trade has never stopped, because of the internal struggle of the Tartars, I Da Ming in the secret help of the Ming Dynasty did not take long to suppress the internal rebellion, because the Ming Dynasty's help is not in the military power of this expensive expendable, so this victory I Da also paid a great price, but when I came back to my senses, I figured out the idea of the Ming court at the beginning, and by the time they started gritting their teeth, it was already too late, and it was already a foregone conclusion.
Now the rebellion within the Tartars has been quelled, but Altan has also paid a great price for this, and the number of warriors in the tribe has plummeted a lot, although the Tartars are a people who have lived on horseback since childhood, and know how to dance and wield swords, but it is obviously unwise to let all the next generation ride on war horses to fight on the battlefield, and I am also worthy of accepting this result with patience.
In short, as mentioned earlier, the Tartars now have no strength to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty, and Qi Jiguang and Wang Chonggu's defense of the border pass, too, those small groups of Tartar forces can not come over to loot at all, for a while, the border pass is flat, and the Mongols have to reluctantly accept this fact, honestly do business with the Ming Dynasty, and use their cattle and sheep and local precious medicinal materials and other things to exchange for food and cloth that they have long been unable to leave.
In comparison, Zhang Fan is most concerned about the affairs of the southwest, the remnants of the rebellion of the follower Wei Yinbao, Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin, although there is no news on the surface now, but people who know a little bit of the situation understand that the two of them must be actively preparing for breakfast, but Zhang Fan is a little puzzled, such as rebellion, even if it is too careful and secret, there will inevitably be a lot of news coming out, and now, whether it is true evidence, or chasing the wind, There was no news coming out, which couldn't help but make Zhang Fan feel very strange.
For this matter, Zhang Fan also went to discuss with Feng Bao, hoping that in the investigation of this matter, Feng Bao can help him, Feng Bao is naturally responsive to today's Zhang Fan, and he readily agreed, so in the Ming Dynasty, the two most powerful spy organizations, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the investigation of the southwest was in full swing, and for a while, the number of darts in the southwest increased a lot in vain, plus the two also used some small means, Let the local government also actively cooperate, and under this scale of investigation, it seems foolproof.
However, in this foolproof situation, the southwest side is like an impregnable wall, two months down, hearsay untrustworthy news has come a lot, but a little bit, even the slightest, with real evidence of the news has not been found, this can't help but make Zhang Fan a little puzzled, is it true that those people in the southwest are so united, so secretive, but Zhang Fan will not feel so, if this is the case, How could Wei Yinbao's uprising be suppressed by the imperial court so easily, you must know that Wei Yinbao's uprising back then was huge, and it was already very successful at that time.
But even so, Zhang Fan still did not give up the investigation of the southwest direction, in fact, his main thing was to find out Fang Zhenqian's news, although the news of the fake at the beginning had already allowed him to carry out a lot of actions against Fang Yueling, but in his opinion, now the matter has involved many aspects, especially his beloved woman, which is the reason why Zhang Fan will increase the investigation of this matter.
Because of these things, coupled with many other trivial matters on weekdays, although Zhang Fan is not very busy every day, he is definitely unable to be idle as before, and he can be idle if he wants to, plus now, he has to take on the matter of teaching Zhu Yijun, which is also the only thing he is not very busy with now.
In short, Zhang Fan is also very busy every day, and there is no time to go home on the way, but every day, as long as he finishes his work, he will return home immediately, in order to accompany his beloved wife Ru Xue, who is now about to give birth, which also makes Ru Xue's already good impression of Zhang Fan have a huge sublimation again.
Ru Xue no matter what she said, she was just a woman who grew up in feudal ancient China, and naturally she didn't have Zhang Fan's enlightened thoughts after five hundred years, she naturally knew that Zhang Fan liked herself very much, but as a woman, how could she not have the idea that what a man wants is just to pass on the lineage.
However, now Zhang Fan's approach is obviously to hope that the mother and son can be safe, or in case, if there is any accident, what he hopes is that Ru Xue can be safe, after all, the child can be asked for again in the future, and the lover is only the only one in front of him.
Although Zhang Fan has never said this kind of thought clearly, Ru Xue, who is smart in ice and snow, can naturally hear it from Zhang Fan's words and deeds on weekdays, and how could Ru Xue not be moved when she learned Zhang Fan's idea.
As the days passed, everyone in Zhang's mansion was preparing for this big event, and one day, things just came.
Everything is as beautiful as people imagined, except, except for the moment when Ru Xue was about to give birth, Zhang Fan's people were not at home,
