Chapter 147: A Late Guest
The villagers did not salvage Yang Xian's body in the Qinhuai River, nor did they hear that Yang Xian's family had a funeral, so the fact that Yang Xian was still alive did not surprise Ma Du.
Fortunately, Lao Zhu sent him to Yingtian, and he really hoped that Zhu Wenzhong could cut Yang Xian for him. Even if Zhu Wenzhong didn't kill him, there were lead particles left in his body, and Yang Xian shouldn't be able to live for a few years.
In October of the twenty-fifth year of Zheng, Xu Da was appointed as the chief military officer, and attacked Huaidong with Chang Yuchun, and successfully captured Taizhou, Gaoyou, Huai'an and other places in less than five months, and captured 10,000 people in a big battle with the Yuan army in Xuzhou.
Zhang Shicheng's territory is only left in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Pingjiang, Songjiang, and Hangzhou, Jia, and Lake in Zhejiang, and his strength is still very strong, because it is densely populated and rich in money and food.
Lao Zhu waited until October to go on the expedition, just for the sake of 250 cannons, and finally all of them were installed in the Shenji Battalion, and he did not let the generals directly command.
Since he saw the power of artillery, Lao Zhu attached great importance to it, as if he wanted to hold it firmly in his hand. If other people need to use firearms in battle, they will directly call the past of the Shenji Battalion to cooperate.
In order for the Shenji Battalion to be able to successfully become an army, Lao Zhu can be said to have tightened his belt, and the Shenji Battalion, which was built with a lot of money, did not disappoint him. The Shenji Battalion, which set out for the first time, finally showed its terrible fangs.
The scene of 10,000 cannons firing was enough to shatter the enemy's courage, and the casualties paid for the siege were less than half of the usual. In the field battle near Xuzhou and the Yuan army, it was even more brilliant, Zhu Wenying's unit defeated tens of thousands of enemy troops with 2,000 people, and its own casualties were almost negligible.
After coming back, although Zhu Wenying was still serving as the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, Lao Zhu gave him the title of Governor.
Although Guo Ying is still the commander of the Shenji Battalion, he doesn't know much about firearms, so his performance on the battlefield is not as good as Zhu Wenying's.
Zhu Wenying also came to Madu to show off, and came empty-handed, taking his wife and children to eat and take, and did not learn from Zhu Wenzhong.
The hateful thing is that before he left, he asked Ma Du to help him tinker with a small cannon that was more convenient to carry, saying that it could facilitate field battles. Of course there are small cannons, Grandpa Qi's tiger squat cannon ......,
No, it was Qi Jiguang's tiger squat cannon back then, but he was full of widows looking for teeth!
can't be called Grandpa Qi, otherwise when I see Qi Xiang in the future, I will feel that I have to be several heads shorter.
Zhang Wuliu got married, he must have been very happy and happy that day, Ma Du saw his signature giggle all day long.
However, Zhang Wuliu said that he still had a little regret, that is, on the day of marriage, he could not wear the green robe with the word "money and blessing" given to him by Ma Du.
That night, Ma Du took Zhu Biao and Xiao Turtle to listen to the root of the wall, and he was looking forward to Zhang Wuliu being able to make a little different joke on the wedding night, because Ma Du knew that this guy had almost no physiological knowledge.
What is embarrassing is that Ma Du actually met the old Liu couple who also came to listen to the root of the wall, and it is estimated that they are also worried that their new aunt will not be able to find a quiet path. The two groups of people met together, embarrassed to death, and the wall root did not listen.
Lao Zhu didn't know where he heard that Ma Du took Zhu Biao to listen to the root of the wall, and scolded Ma Du again.
Erotic appetite, people's great desires, and innate instincts don't seem to need to be taught. Zhang Wuliu didn't let people see the joke this time, and in less than two months, he made Chunhua's belly bigger.
The happiest person is Lao Liu, he has already discussed with Grandma Zhang, Chunhua has a few more sons, and he can inherit one to his family to continue the incense of Lao Liu's family. This is also another reason why Lao Liu asked Zhang Wuliu to be his son-in-law, this kind of thing is not agreed to by ordinary people, and Zhang Wuliu has this possibility.
Ma Du asked Lao Liu, "Don't you worry about the spring flowers coming out of 'Xiao Zhang five or six'"
Of course, Lao Liu understood what Ma Du meant, and seeing that his old face that was originally smiling like a chrysanthemum immediately wrinkled into a nest, Ma Du finally avenged the revenge that he had calculated at the beginning.
After completing the test firing of the first Tiger Squat Cannon, Ma Du immediately threw the production task to Jiao Yu and gave himself a vacation again. When the flowers bloom in another year, Ma Du, who came back from class, lay on the bamboo chair holding a fragrant tea and watched the peach blossom petals fall in the wind, which was really pleasant.
The swing on the side kept shaking, but it was not Zhu Biao sitting on it. During the Chinese New Year, Ma Du handed over a sturdy son to Lao Zhu.
Zhu Biao is no longer the cute fat face he used to be, his face is clearly contoured, he used to think that he had long eyebrows and big feet, but now he can see a little bit of Lao Zhu's appearance, which can make Lao Zhu very happy.
Everyone said that Liu Ji was quite accomplished in arithmetic, but when he discussed arithmetic with his son, he had a constipated expression. Lao Zhu knew that his son was already quite accomplished in arithmetic, although he didn't know what arithmetic was for, but it was always good to learn more, as if those four books and five classics were useless, didn't he also learn them.
Of course, Lao Zhu is also dissatisfied, for Zhu Biao occasionally popping out of his mouth "I wipe", Lao Zhu felt very bad, and seemed to faintly see Ma Du's lazy face.
After the New Year, Ma Du did not let Zhu Biao come over, and he had graduated from primary school in half a year. This is enough for Zhu Biao to deal with the vast majority of people in this era, and it is enough not to be fooled in the future.
Before the Qingming Dynasty, Lao Zhu asked Zhu Biao to go back to his hometown in Haozhou to worship his ancestors, and he has not come back, this is a very strong political signal, as long as people who are not blind can see that in the future, Lao Zhu will be called the emperor, and Zhu Biao is the prince who is ironclad.
Watching the water chestnut and the little fish swing higher and higher, Ma Du pressed his hand, "Slow down, if you break yourself and can't find a good family, I will give you a man like Zhang Wuliu in the future." ”
Water chestnut stuck out her tongue, "My brother will scare people, so I don't want a second fool like Zhang Wuliu." ”
Xiao Yu'er said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er doesn't marry, she has to accompany her brother for the rest of her life." ”
Tut-tut! Look at what she said, I really can't blame Ma Du for hurting Xiaoyuer the most, this girl is heartwarming when she speaks.
The courtyard door was gently pushed open, and Lao Liu walked in and muttered in Ma Du's ear. Ma Du smiled, "This guy's political consciousness is really not very high, and the battle has been fought to this extent, so he knows to find another backer." You two go home to play, and my brother wants to meet you! ”
The two little girls got off the swing and walked out of the courtyard with a smile, while Lao Liu led a man in a coarse cloth shirt in.
Ma Du got up and said, "Shen Yuanwai, let's meet again!" ”
The person who came was Shen Wansan, he was wearing a coarse cloth dress worn by an ordinary guy, he hadn't seen him for nearly two years, and there was almost no change on his face, and when he saw Ma Du, he respectfully saluted, "Shen Wansan has seen Ma Jianzheng!" ”
Ma Du couldn't help but feel cold when he heard this: "Shen Yuanwai is really a good skill, even my current official position can be inquired about!" ”
