101. See the gentleman

With the support of Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Huang Kezhang and other veterans, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam has become an established national policy of the Ming Dynasty. In order to eat South Vietnam in one go, Zhu ordered Yu Xuan, the governor of Yunnan, to fight and retreat in Anzhou, while Yuan Chonghuan's wolf soldiers inserted into Lang Son and forced LĂŞ's main force to return to Hanoi.

This style of play is strategically called encircling Wei to save Zhao, and in specific tactics, it is called encircling points to send reinforcements, and its purpose is to eliminate as many of the Li's living forces as possible and ensure that the later rule can be stable. After all, since the beginning of Chengzu Zhu Di, the nationalism of South Vietnam has awakened, and after more than 200 years of evolution, it is difficult to change this thinking for a while. However, with the precedent of Operation Sunset, the Ming Dynasty did not intend to complete its efforts in one battle, but continued to support the local pro-Chinese forces, and then assimilated them through means such as population migration, Sinicization education, and ethnic marriage.

The overall situation has been decided, and Zhu Youxiao, who was relieved, stretched his waist and made an exception to go back to the Qianqing Palace to rest in advance. At this time, it was already winter, and there had just been a heavy snowfall, and Tamina, who had been in Nanjing for a long time, was a little excited to see such a thick snow for the first time, and ran to the imperial garden with a few personal maids to build a snowman to play. Queen Zhang Yan couldn't withstand the stalking of Xiong Kouyue and Huang Mengxuan, and was dragged to have a snowball fight. Oda Ichihime doesn't understand the language, and he feels that his identity is humble, so he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and only watches the battle from the sidelines.

Seeing that his family was happy, Zhu Youxiao was happy in his heart, and specially instructed Wang An and others to sit quietly next to Shiji without waiting for the spread of the word, and saw that her white and tender cheeks were red from the cold, so he rubbed his hands and stuck them on it. The Dongying woman was already shy and humble, but seeing that the emperor cherished herself so much, Shiji's heart was like a layer of sweetness, but her face turned even redder.

Since she was forcibly given to the Ming Emperor by Oda Shinheng, she and the Oda family have been cut off, but unfortunately the world is big, how can it be home. Fortunately, after she entered the palace, Zhu Youxiao has been taking special care of her, and she has also invited several knowledgeable female officials to teach culture.

Zhu Youxiao saw that she was holding a copy of "Book of Songs" today, and the bookmark was inserted in the "Wind and Rain" chapter, thinking that Lang Qing and Concubine were nothing more than that, so he recited it slowly.

The wind and rain are miserable, the roosters are chirping, and the gentleman is seen. Yun Hu Buyi?

The wind and rain are dashing, and the chickens are chirping. Seeing a gentleman, is he not embarrassed?

The wind and rain are like obscurity, and the roosters are crowing. Seeing a gentleman, don't you like it?

After memorizing, Zhu Youxiao saw that Shi Ji looked ignorant, and thought that it was a bit difficult for foreigners to read classical Chinese, so he patiently explained:

"My dear, this "Wind and Rain" is from Zheng Feng, describing a stormy morning, the rooster keeps crowing and it is obvious that there is someone outside the door, this woman goes out to see the man she has loved for a long time, and the feeling of joy arises spontaneously."

Although Shi Ji could understand Zhu Youxiao's meaning, she couldn't express her inner emotions, first looked at her husband with affection, and then knocked down Zhu Youxiao's arms like a deer, and drew a heart pattern in his thick palm with her little hand.

The two newlywed Yan'er, like glue, is not an exaggeration, Zhu Youxiao held her on his lap and patted her gently with his hand, while watching Zhang Yan and others chasing and frolicking. I saw that she was dressed lightly, with only a hairpin on her head, wearing a white dress, green silk dancing in the wind, and her body was slender, like a fairy who was out of the ordinary.

Xiong Kouyue's black hair was coiled up with a hairpin and a butterfly tassel on it. Emei swept lightly, drenched in sweat, but still couldn't hide her stunning appearance.

Huang Mengxuan was born in Fujian and has a unique affection for snowflakes, but she has always restrained herself due to etiquette. Now under the instigation of the queen and the imperial concubine, he has long been completely ignored, his shoes and socks are wet, the scarf is thrown aside, revealing a pink neck, and a pair of diamond necklaces are more and more clear collarbones.

Tamina has the arrogance of a Persian woman, in order to facilitate snowball fights, she has already rolled up her sleeves, the white jade bracelet on her wrist is lined with snowy skin, and she is wearing a pair of gilded deerskin boots under her feet, and a string of silver bells is hung on each side, and she looks particularly cheerful when she runs. The beautiful eyes under the deep eyes flowed, and the corners of the mouth hooked up a mischievous smile.

A few people were playing, and they wanted to pull Shiji together, but they found that she was sitting in the emperor's arms, looking shy and lovable. Seeing Zhu Youxiao smiling again, he smiled at them affectionately, so he walked up to them and bowed slightly.

Huang Mengxuan was still holding two snowballs in her hands, looking at Zhu Youxiao with vicious eyes, but she said delicately:

"Long live Lord, you and Ichihime came down to play snowball fights together!"

Zhu Youxiao looked around, and saw that Zhang Yan and Kou Yue were covered in snow, and they were rolling a huge snowball with Tamina, knowing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly said flatteringly:

"Shall we be together?"

"No, we'll beat you together!"

Several women said in unison, then picked up the big snowball and rushed over. Zhu Youxiao complained in his heart, and after dodging Meng Xuan's attack, he held her in his arms and used her as a meat shield.

"Master, you can't play tricks, how can there be such a snowball fight?"

Zhu Youxiao saw a few tears rolling in her eyes, looking pitiful, standing in place and not knowing what to do. Unexpectedly, Huang Mengxuan took the opportunity to scratch his waist, broke free of his arms and flashed to the side, only to see the basin-sized snowball flying towards him.

For this kind of warm harem scene, it is difficult for people who have watched the big pigtail drama to understand, and even habitually think that the harem is a deception, but in fact, it is not. First of all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, what are rivers and lakes? Right and wrong, grievances, and children's affection. Second, although Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty established an iron law that the harem and ministers are not allowed to interfere in politics, he loved Queen Ma all his life, and he would respect Queen Ma's opinions in many things, and even after her death, he never established a queen again. Under the influence of this model couple, many emperors of the Ming Dynasty are still emotionally commendable, such as the monogamous Zhu Youji, and for example, Zhu Yijun, who reigned for 48 years, only canonized Wang Xijie, that is, his wife.

Although Zhu Youxiao adapted to the general ethics of feudal society, he still retained that respect for women in his heart, which coincided with the fine traditions of the Ming Dynasty royal family. According to his original intention, he only wanted to marry Zhang Yan alone, but if he wanted to realize his ambitions, he had to rely on the help of other families, and marriage was the best lubricant.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi and Huang Kezhang worked hard for him in the previous dynasty, and the new policy was implemented smoothly, and the country had begun to formulate the third five-year plan to start the steam revolution with all its might. Oda Nobuyhiro formed a horn with Hou Tozen and Kuma Fumican in Shikoku, and constantly squeezed the territory of Tokugawa Iemitsu in Honshu, which ensured the normal excavation of Iwami Ginzan. In order to make up for the debt to Tamina, Abbas the Great not only gave many favors and privileges to the Han Chinese, but also sent the imperial grandson Safi to Beijing to make an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, drive out the Ottoman Empire and European forces in the inland areas, and provide supply ports for the Ming Dynasty sailors along the coast.

Although these women are very tough in the background, they have experienced setbacks to some extent, and after meeting Zhu Youxiao, it seems that their souls have found sustenance, and they have long regarded the Forbidden City as their only home. In short, Zhu Youxiao has no reason not to pamper and indulge in the harem and hold them in the palm of his hand.
