Seeing Wen Yue accept these girls as "gifts", the wealthy family breathed a sigh of relief, in their opinion, this can be regarded as a kind of investment, if they are lucky, one or two concubines should be enough to protect the third generation of the family.

Wen Yue didn't explain the idea of the imperial court system to these people, and she didn't return the ignorant girls - she was working for women anyway, and it wasn't difficult for them to find some work.

The empire has always been hungry for talents, even if it is old-fashioned talents, as long as they sincerely accept the empire, the empire will give them a chance.

In order to speed up, the fleet of Wen Yue and Xu Daizhuo and his party went directly to the sea, met with the Imperial Navy that had been waiting for a long time in the open sea, and then returned north by warship.

Wen Zhong, Xu Shisong, Bao Zheng and others did not have a plan to intercept along the way, whether Emperor Longdao and Tong Guan did not know, but without the consent of the previous three, they couldn't stop it if they wanted to.

……

"Why are you in such a hurry?" On the transport ship of the navy, a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth asked suspiciously: "We pass by Jinling, can't we go home to see?" ”

"What are you going to see when you go home?" Another girl seemed to be a little dissatisfied and said, "What are you doing when we go to Jiangbei?" We are no different from the maid now, and you still want to go home at any time with the master's house? Do you think you're still Miss Everybody? ”

"Xiangyun don't say it so meanly." The third girl said: "I don't think it's bad if I don't go home, the whole family is like a black-eyed chicken, I can't wait for you to eat me, I eat you, what's the point of going back and seeing?" ”

"Now it's going to be a war, no matter what, there's nothing wrong with us leaving the land of right and wrong."

Hearing this, a girl asked: "Tanchun, you usually care about these things the most, who do you think is better than the Great Zhou and the Northern Dynasties?" ”

"If there is a fight, Da Zhou will definitely not work." The girl called Tanchun shook her head and said firmly: "I just don't know how long Master Wen, Lord Xu, and Master Bao can withstand it." ”

"I really hope that the adults will succeed immediately."

"Hehe, hope they succeed? You are now on the ship of the North, but you want victory in the South? ”

"But, after all, our family is in the south......."

Tanchun sneered: "We are equivalent to making a promise now, how can a girl who has made a promise still talk about her mother's truth?" What's more, in fact, the better they fight, the worse they will be for the world. Now the Northern Dynasty still remembers the friendship of the same clan, but if the casualties are too great, you see if they will retaliate. If it is revenge, we are the fattest pigs in our family. ”

"Actually, it's not that fat." The girl who was called Xiangyun by Tanchun just now sighed: "The house seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it has long been hollowed out. ”

"It's a pity that outsiders don't know, and northerners don't know."

Tanchun is from the Jia family in Jinling, Xiangyun is from the Shi family, and the Xue and Wang families and some other young ladies from the slightly smaller wealthy families are also there.

What Shi Xiangyun said is almost the common situation of several of them, but some girls know it, and some girls don't know.

"We are like this, it seems that we are thousands of miles away from home, lonely, but in fact, it is quite good."

Jia Tanchun sighed and said:

"Anyway, we are in the north, far away from the whirlpool in the south of the Yangtze River, look at Miss Lin, what good results can he have if he lives in my house?"

The farther away from Jiangnan, the more Jia Tanchun dared to speak, after all, no matter what she said now, the Jia family couldn't punish her:

"The four wealthy families are majestic, but they have long been defeated, and my family took her into the house, in fact, it was to take a fancy to her family's money."

"That girl is still thinking about marrying my family Baoyu and then taking charge of the family, heh, in fact, her dowry, who to marry is not married."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about her, think about ourselves." Baochai, the young lady of the Xue family, said softly: "Jiangnan is a whirlpool, and for us, the north actually doesn't accept much - it's royal, and if you take a wrong step, you will be doomed." ”

Jia Tanchun knew that Xue Baochai also liked his half-brother, so he couldn't listen to the matter between Miss Lin and Jia Baoyu.

"It's just a possibility that we won't recover, the future of Miss Lin's family, hehe......."

Jia Tanchun couldn't help but say sarcastic words in the end.

……

The situation in the world is developing step by step.

After Wenyue successfully returned to the north, the empire immediately sent envoys to Jiangnan to present his credentials to Emperor Longdao.

The Chinese Empire announced that there were people in the empire who complained that the Emperor Taishang of the Great Zhou Dynasty had originally declared himself a vassal to the Jurchens and included the behavior of the people.

The empire made the decision for its own people, and demanded that the Great Zhou hand over the Jianxing Emperor, who had been in seclusion for nearly ten years, to face trial in the north, and at the same time the empire proposed that the Great Zhou royal family should pay about 200 million yuan in economic compensation to the people who were ruined due to the roots at that time.

This letter from the empire made Emperor Jianxing angry, and he felt that the north was really too shameless!

Everyone knew that the north was going south, and there was nothing wrong with that, no matter what, the emperor would just fight.

But the reason for the war is to turn over the old accounts of more than ten years ago!

This is too much.

And he also asked Emperor Longdao to hand over his father to the north for trial!

Whether it was the dignity of being the Son of Heaven or the filial piety of being the Son of Man, Emperor Longdao could not accept this request.

It's just that as the emperor, the Son of Longdao felt that he should have more heavenly morality than those barbarians in the north.

So, in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven ordered Wen Zhong to refute the unreasonable demands of the north with a brilliant article, and at the same time reprimanded the treacherous behavior of the north, believing that the north has been rebellious since the emperor was proclaimed, and now he is trying to attack the real Son of Heaven for such a ridiculous reason, which is a sinner that everyone in the world can condemn, and the crime will inevitably be recorded in history forever in the future and be reviled by the world.

The envoys from the north listened carefully to Emperor Longdao's declaration, and it was not until he confirmed that the Great Zhou would not accept the demands of the north, and he submitted a declaration of war to the Great Zhou Emperor on the spot.

This is the first time in the history of warfare in this world that someone has officially declared war on the enemy before going to war.

After that, the envoy from the north turned to leave, and before leaving, he said in his personal capacity as the Son of Longdao and the Great Zhou Manchu Dynasty:

"Essay collection, the empire is probably not comparable to the Great Zhou."

"But no matter how good the writing is, it can't write dead tartars, and it can't make the people of the world fed, clothed, and live and work in peace and contentment."

"When the Great Zhou Dynasty abandoned Jiangbei and moved south, he threw away his righteous name. The empire turned the tide of the tide, eliminated all kinds of Tartars, and revived the glory of China, which is the greatest righteousness. So we don't care what the reason for going to war is, because if we go to war, we will win - we are the kings! ”

"Princess, think about it."

……

In May 1795, the Chinese Empire declared war on the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The war for the unification of the empire has finally begun.
