Wang Dehua, the newly appointed governor of Dongchang, and Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, had just left, and Wang Chengen came in to ask the emperor.

That was Chu Chu came to the Forbidden City this afternoon, met Princess Kunxin, and happily told her that Dongping Hou kept his promise and was going to take her to Houfu to live for a few days, and then Dongping Hou would take her to the pedestrian street to play in the playground again.

Xiao Kunxing, who was excited to get the news, immediately went to ask his mother for permission.

The queen agreed in principle that Chu Chu would come to pick up Princess Kunxin tomorrow, and specially sent someone to ask the emperor.

At that time, the head of Dongchang and Jinyiwei was discussing in the imperial study, and Wang Chengen wrote down the words, and went back and forth at this time.

Seeing that the Huang family was going to take their daughter out of the palace to play, the emperor, who thought it was inappropriate, felt that refusing at this time might hurt the goodwill of the Marquis of Dongping, so he had to agree.

Princess Kunxin left the Forbidden City and lived in the Houfu surrounded by a group of people, and Huang Han took time to bring a large family to play with her for two whole afternoons.

Zheng Xiu'e and Chu Chu have gone shopping with their husbands many times, although they are not necessarily very excited when they are happy, and Xu Miaoru, the youngest concubine who has not yet had a round house, is full of joy and has been playing hide and seek with Kun Xing all the way.

Later, Kun Xingle Zizi accompanied by Chu Chu to learn Chinese pinyin in the Peony Pavilion University Hall.

The child is the age of learning, Princess Kunxing is extremely smart, and there are two sisters Xu Miaoyan and Xu Miaoru sitting next to her on the left and right to burn a small stove, and Kunxing learned phonics in less than a month.

She liked Huang Han's teaching method, liked to listen to stories and read new learning, and refused to return to the Forbidden City immediately, until the fifteenth queen of the lunar month sent Wang Chengen to pick up the princess back to the palace, and Xiao Kunxing was reluctant to leave.

During this time, he got along with the Xu Miaoyan sisters day and night, and the two sisters took care of the diet and daily life, Kun Xing and the sisters had a relationship, and their eyes were hazy when they parted, so they must often go to the palace to see.

Huang Han gave Kunxing a set of new textbooks and many good things that had just been added to Hanyu Pinyin, and Huang Han even wanted to drive a gold finger to make a small bicycle for her to play.

Time flies and it is a new year in the blink of an eye, with many "Red Banner Army" generals receiving practical awards, Hanzi finally completed the elimination of dissidents in Shanhaiguan.

At present, the odd barracks, the reinforcement battalion, the guerrilla battalion, the two garrison battalions, and the Longwu Water Division are completely "Red Banner Army" men, with a total of 25,000 troops.

The Ningyuan soldiers and horses of Huangyi Prefecture plus the Xuzhen reinforcement battalion and the guerrilla battalion of the auxiliary defense had a full 30,000 troops, and the number of troops in the Jinzhou people and horses in charge of Song Pengfei, Wang Zhanpeng, and others was only 15,000, but with the strength of the naval division, the actual number had exceeded 60,000.

The battleships of the "Red Banner Army" are getting bigger and bigger, and the current flagship is already the "Jiulitai" with 100 guns and a displacement of 2,000 tons.

There were seven battleships with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons to 2,000 tons, and the crew of such a large battleship was as high as more than 700 sailors, gunners, marines, etc., which meant that there were 6,000 people on eight battleships.

There are now more than 60 medium-sized battleships with crews of 3,400, 2,300, and a displacement of 500 to 1,000 tons, and as many as 500 or more small warships with a displacement of less than 500 people and a displacement of no more than 150 tons.

Half of the small-tonnage warships carried out patrols and escort missions on the Yangtze River, and they also entered Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake many times to fight water thieves.

The actual number of troops under the control of the "Red Banner Army" in Xuzhen was only 25,000, and the total water supply division was still more than 10,000.

Even if the imperial court verifies the existing number of soldiers, it is impossible to admit it, and it will also expose the strength hidden in Jinzhou, Qingniwa, and Lushunkou, so nearly 50,000 regular soldiers rely on the system to provide military salaries, which has nothing to do with the imperial court.

Huang Han now has to pay the 50,000 soldiers, and also subsidize at least 50% of the food and salary of the 70,000 men under the command of the three general military officers of Shanhaiguan, Xuzhen, and Ningyuan, as well as up to 60,000 equipment and subsidies for the guards.

The annual cost of military pay is not less than 3.8 million taels of snowflake silver, and the need for grain is about 900,000 stones.

Fortunately, the income of Haimao plus the fight against the Liukou and the Jin Army after the fight has been good in the past two years, and the revenue of all walks of life in the system is also better than expected, and the tax revenue is almost doubled every year, which can be fully supported.

The benefits of the virtuous cycle were immediate, with a population of more than 2 million in the system, with more than 300,000 households owning five acres of land per capita.

On average, one out of three families has brothers, children and nephews who are regular soldiers of the "Red Banner Army".

This family not only earns enough income to support the family from farming or working, but also earns an extra thirty or fifty taels of silver every year in military salaries and military merit awards, which shows the economic conditions.

The purchasing power in the system is strong, so the business is prosperous, which in turn creates a large number of jobs, and the tertiary industry has developed well.

Huang Han gained a great reputation in the compilation of the "Chongzhen Great Dictionary" led by the Beijing Division, and many of the originally-for-tat imperial histories and affairs died down, because these people were worried about being scolded by the readers.

Without him, the Marquis of Dongping spent a huge amount of money to compile books with the intention of benefiting the scholars of the whole world, and pouring dirty water on the Marquis of Dongping at this time would not be a blatant challenge to the entire Shilin.

Besides, since he came to Beijing, Huang Han gave up his military power to be a carefree marquis with peace of mind, teaching and educating people all day long, and at this time, he was still working against Dongping Hou, who had made great contributions to the country, was it crazy to lose his mind?

It seems that the compilation of the "Chongzhen Great Dictionary" greatly improved the relationship between Huang Han and the civil and official clique.

For example, Wen Zhenmeng, Wen Tiren, Qian Shisheng, Zhang Fengyi, Hou Xun, Xue Guoguan, Liu Yuliang, Kong Zhenyun and other adults often come to Yichun Courtyard to see the progress and express their condolences to the busy doctors and scholars.

These civil officials in important positions will all stay for dinner when they come to Yichun Courtyard without exception, and they will chat with Dongping Hou Tiannan Haibei, the purpose of which is naturally to enhance understanding.

At the end of the year, Chongzhen specially sent Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun to visit the Marquis of Dongping, and gave a lot of rewards, and the emperor's attitude and ministers all understood, knowing that as long as the Marquis of Dongping no longer led the troops, glory, wealth and grace were indispensable.

Cao Huachun was worried during this time, and the Jinyi Wei lurking in Jinzhou sent back information, and his words were burning Zu Dashou and preparing to offer Jinzhou to surrender to Jiannu, and the prison army Gao Qiqian had already recognized the slave chief as the new master.

How dare Cao Huachun be good at such a big thing, and immediately return to the emperor, but Chongzhen first frowned, and then sighed for a long time, without giving instructions, it seems that the emperor is helpless.

It's no wonder that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip! The ancestor has returned to Beijing three times, but people have turned a deaf ear.

Send troops to encircle and suppress? Who to send? Who would dare to go? The imperial court could not spare its hands to send tens of thousands of horses to besiege Jinzhou.

Besides, since Zu Dashou is a traitor to the enemy, how can Jiannu sit back and watch the Ming people come to Jinzhou to quell the rebellion?

In the end, after the ancestral army of Jinzhou was united, the Jin army fought the Ming army that came to Jinzhou to quell the rebellion, and I am afraid that more than 100,000 horses may not be able to withstand being flanked by the ancestral army and Jiannu.
