Volume VIII Chapter 23 Marriage Story

Zhang Bin took the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Wang Zheng and others back to Beijing in a hurry, but his family was still in Dayuancheng, they finally came back, naturally they had to stay with relatives and friends for a while, especially his wife and concubine, almost all of his parents were in Dayuancheng, and they would leave in a day or two after coming back, which was really a bit unreasonable.

At this time, a large camp of the Fuguang Army has been set up outside the city of Fuzhou, and the recruitment speed of the recruits is simply amazing, a boat comes and a boat comes and a boat, and it has not stopped all day and night, and in less than ten days, the 100,000 army has been recruited.

The young Zhuang in Fuzhou City is called a strange ah, originally they still wanted to respond to the call of Lord Zhang, participate in the Fuguang Army, to encircle and suppress the thieves, but Zhang did not issue a call at all, and Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Fuguang, did not post a notice in Fuzhou City, they didn't know how to sign up, and when someone came to inquire about the situation, the 100,000 Fuguang Army had already been recruited!

That guy, the sound of drills in the camp of the Fuguang army, the sound of shouting and killing is simply earth-shattering, there are definitely no less than 100,000 horses, this time, Zhang Bin has one more myth in Fuguang, and he recruited 100,000 recruits in less than ten days, which is simply amazing.

There are even more miraculous things, the recruits of the Fuguang Army have just been recruited to play, and the war horses and carriages have been sent over one by one, and in less than ten days, more than 30,000 war horses and 5,000 carriages have been prepared, which is simply a god speed.

This war horse is easy to understand, as long as you buy it, it will be done, there are Dongshengtang's branches all over the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and thirteen provinces, and it is not surprising that more than 30,000 war horses were bought in less than ten days, and the question is how did this chariot come about?

This kind of new chariot, the drawings have just come out less than 20 days, 5,000 vehicles, and it will be done in more than 10 days.

If it is an ordinary craftsman, of course, it can't, I'm afraid that all the carpenters in Fuguang are not so fast, but the Kaohsiung shipyard has it, they can even build a battleship more than ten zhang long, and a chariot less than a zhang long is naturally very fast.

In fact, the chariot is mainly the wheel part, the key is the coordination of the wheel axle and the wheel axle frame, there can be no slightest deviation, the wheel axle and the frame should not be strengthened, the wheel axle will not rotate, the carriage can not be pulled, but the Kaohsiung shipyard uses bearings, this problem does not need to be considered at all, just put it on, the wheel axle can definitely rotate flexibly.

Not to mention the wooden planks on it, they now use steam-driven saws, which are fast and good, and sawing planks and wooden squares are like rowing tofu, and making two or three hundred of these small carriages a day is like playing with them.

People, horses, chariots, equipment arrived one after another, Cao Wenzhao began to reorganize and practice, the Fuguang army continued to use the Qi army's mandarin duck array, and it was also based on 10,000 people, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Li Dingguo and others each commanded 10,000 horses, but the specific structure and Qi's army is a little different, the Fuguang army is not divided into foot soldiers and chariots, every 10,000 people are divided into 800 squads, each squad has four chariots, a group of three is responsible for one, and the remaining 400 people are artillery, responsible for controlling a hundred tiger squat artillery vehicles.

At this time, the so-called drill is actually a drill car formation, so that everyone is familiar with the function of the new type of combat vehicle.

At this time, in the garden of the former Dongfan Governor's Mansion, Zhang Xiang was also practicing, but she was not training any recruits, but his four younger brothers, although the youngest of his four younger brothers was only more than a year old, but they were all "veterans" under her hands.

To be honest, this exercise is really a bit nondescript, because she is alone in a pink military uniform, and his four younger brothers are wearing Confucian robes, and their ages are aside, this costume is really too incompatible.

Of course, they're just playing, so there's no need to care about that.

At this time, it was early in the morning, the warm sun had just risen, and it was the most suitable time of the day for outdoor activities, Zhang Bin's wife and concubines and their parents, including Zhang Chengde and Zheng Chenggong and his wife, as long as their relatives and friends in the governor's palace basically gathered in the garden, they talked about their family feelings in the pavilion, the path or the corridor, while Zheng Chenggong and Chen Xiuxiu accompanied Zhang Xiang to "practice" on the grass.

The drill began, Zhang Xiang carried a wooden sword at his waist, stood there straight, and shouted coquettishly: "Assemble, hurry up, line up." ”

His four younger brothers immediately gathered in front of her with wooden sticks, but Zhang Hai and Zhang Wai were still young, and they seemed to be a little unsteady when they walked, and they became rolling gourds after just a few steps, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Xiuxiu hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, half supported and half hugged, escorted them to Zhang Xiang and stood up, and then retreated to the side.

Zhang Xiang frowned and looked at the two "unsuccessful" younger brothers, and then exclaimed: "Pay attention, Lizheng." ”

The four brothers hurriedly put their feet together, raised their heads and stood tall.

Zhang Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to shout: "Listen to my orders and turn left." ”

The four brothers hurriedly turned to the left, and the direction was right, but the movements were a little inconsistent.

Zhang Xiang immediately reprimanded: "Xiaohai, what are you thinking, if you didn't turn around yesterday, you will be slow today." ”

Zhang Hai said aggrievedly: "Report, sister, I didn't think about anything, I just woke up, and I was still a little confused." ”

Well, this reason is very legitimate, Zhang Xiang reluctantly accepted it, but she couldn't accept this title a little, she immediately corrected: "How many times have I told you, when you practice, you should call the general, not sister." ”

Zhang Hai hurriedly raised his head and said, "Yes, general." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted, "Attention, turn right." ”

With a brush, the four brothers all turned around, and this time the action was really a little neat.

Zhang Xiang couldn't help but smile smugly, and continued to shout: "Turn back." ”

With a brush, the four brothers turned around, but Zhang Wai accidentally turned to the ground.

Chen Xiuxiu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and helped him straighten his messed clothes, and then stepped aside.

Zhang Xiang frowned and said, "Xiaowai, what's the matter with you, how many times have I told you, you have to keep your center of gravity when you turn around, why did you fall again?" ”

Zhang Wai said in a milky voice: "Report, general, I also just woke up, and I am still a little confused." ”

Well, this reason is very strong, and Zhang Xiang can only accept it reluctantly.

She ordered her younger brothers to turn around a few more times, until they could all follow the password neatly, then nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted: "Attention, raise your gun, prepare to assassinate." ”

The four brothers hurriedly raised the wooden stick and pointed it forward, stood with their feet open, and stood in lunges.

The wooden sticks in their hands were shrunken according to the standard of spears, but there were no wooden spear heads, and Zhang Bin was worried that they would accidentally stab themselves, so he didn't order someone to make wooden spear heads for them.

Zhang Xiang checked it carefully, straightened the posture of Zhang Hai and Zhang Wai with his own hands, and then continued to scold: "Kill." ”

"Kill." , the four brothers followed with a loud roar, exerted their strength to eat, and stabbed out with one shot.

"Let's chirp", Zhang Wai used too much force, and even people fell to the ground with guns, Chen Xiuxiu hurriedly ran forward to help him up.

Zhang Xiang shook her head helplessly and said, "How many times have I told you, the front foot grasps the ground steadily, and the back foot exerts force, why are you using all your strength?" ”

Zhang Wai listened carefully to his sister's teachings, and looked at his front feet suspiciously, as if he was thinking about how to grasp the ground.

At this time, Zhang Chengde and the Huang couple in the pavilion were already leaning back with laughter, although they watched this show every morning, they never got tired of watching it, because these grandchildren are really cute and tight.

Just as they were looking at it, Zheng Chenggong's wife, Tagawa, suddenly pulled Kochizaemon over and said softly: "Auntie, are you free, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Hearing this, Huang turned around and gently pinched Koshichizaemon on the face, and said dotingly: "What's the matter, does Kochizaemon want to play too?" ”

Xiao Nanazaemon looked at the Zhang Xiang sisters and brothers on the grass with eager faces, but Tagawa shook his head and said: "This, no, I want to discuss Sen'er's marriage with you, Sen'er has grown up, it's time to get married." He has been studying with Master Zhang all the year round, and finally came back, and we want to take this opportunity to help him do his family affairs. ”

When Huang heard this, he clapped his hands, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, Sen'er is fifteen, it's time to get married, how about it, have you fallen in love with any girl?" ”

Isn't this just to discuss with you, Tian Chuan said embarrassedly: "This, auntie, what do you think of Sen'er?" ”

When asked this, Huang said a little inexplicably: "Sen'er is very good, she has outstanding literary talents and strong martial arts, and she will definitely be better than the five girls in our family in the future." ”

When Tian Chuan heard this, he looked at Zheng Chenggong in the distance with pride on his face, and then said embarrassedly: "I mean, what do you think of Sen'er and Xiuxiu getting married?" ”

When Huang heard this, he slapped his forehead, and finally understood that because Chen Yingying and Chen Xiuxiu's parents died early, he and Zhang Chengde both raised Chen Xiuxiu as their own daughters, so shouldn't Chen Xiuxiu's relatives have to come to them.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zheng Chenggong and Chen Xiuxiu, who were standing there taking care of their grandchildren, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was extremely delicate, really like a pair of golden boys and girls, this idea is good.

She hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, just take advantage of this time to handle their family affairs, old man, do you have no opinion?" ”

Zhang Chengde didn't pay attention to what they were saying, and when Huang suddenly asked, he couldn't help but say inexplicably: "What, what do you have an opinion or not?" ”

Huang rolled his eyes and said, "I said Sen'er and Xiuxiu's family affairs." ”

Zhang Chengde didn't seem to have come back to his senses, he subconsciously blurted out: "Didn't Xiuxiu say that she wanted to marry the fifth child?" ”

When Huang heard this, he stretched out his hand and slapped him on the head, and said angrily: "That's Xiuxiu's ignorant nonsense when she was a child, how can you take it seriously, the fifth child is nearly twenty years older than Xiuxiu, how can it work, don't you think Sen'er and Xiuxiu are a good match?" ”

Zhang Chengde came back to his senses after eating this slap, he touched his head, and suddenly said: "Yes, yes, Sen'er and Xiuxiu are indeed a good match, I have no opinion, but you have to ask Xiuxiu if she is willing, what if she wants to marry the fifth child?" ”

This is a problem, Huang couldn't help but say to Tian Chuan in embarrassment: "We don't have any opinions, we just don't know if Xiuxiu agrees, or I'll ask her at night." ”

Tian Chuan's is a little anxious at this time, it's not that she is in a hurry, she is mainly afraid of extraneous branches, after all, it is not easy to find a daughter-in-law who is the right person, it is even more difficult to find such a beautiful daughter-in-law, it is even more difficult to find a daughter-in-law who likes her son, her son likes Chen Xiuxiu, which she can naturally see as a mother.

She thought about it, and simply gritted her teeth and said, "Why don't you let Sen'er ask Xiuxiu now." ”

Will this work?

Huang thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, after all, this is their own business, let them decide for themselves." ”

When the Tagawa clan heard this, he hurriedly let go and said, "Go, call your brother over." ”

Xiao Qizaemon immediately ran over and said to Zheng Chenggong: "Brother, mother let you go." ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he looked at the gazebo, and then at Chen Xiuxiu, and then walked towards the pavilion a little reluctantly.

To be honest, he didn't want to play with Zhang Xiang and Zhang Yang at all, the reason why he always stuck to him was mainly because he wanted to talk to Chen Xiuxiu.

What is the matter with his mother looking for him?

When Tian Chuan saw his son coming over, he couldn't help but gently caress his face, and said proudly: "Sen'er, you have grown up, it's time to get married." “

Get married?

Zheng Chenggong really didn't think about this problem, he was only fourteen years old after all, and he had been studying under Zhang Bin, so he didn't consider the problem of starting a family at all.

He was stunned when he heard this, and then said embarrassedly: "This, this, the child is still young." ”

Tian Chuan's face was full of love and said: "Silly child, you have grown up, because my mother saw that you were always pestering Xiuxiu, and I specially proposed to you, do you want to marry Xiuxiu?" ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he couldn't help but blush, this little secret was discovered by his mother, which was embarrassing.

However, he really thought about this a little bit when he married Xiuxiu, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it, but he was embarrassed to say this kind of thing, so he could only blush and nod secretly.

Seeing this, Tian Chuan's spoiled and said: "Wei Niang knows that you like Xiuxiu, you hurry up and ask Xiuxiu to see if she agrees, if she agrees, Wei Niang will immediately handle the marriage for you." ”

"Ahh , I have to ask for this!

Isn't it all the order of the parents to get married, the words of the matchmaker?

He couldn't help but look at Chen Xiuxiu's "parents" Zhang Chengde and his wife, the Huang family really liked this cousin's grandson, she saw Zheng Chenggong looking like a six gods and no owner, and couldn't help but encourage: "Sen'er, don't be afraid, go ask Xiuxiu, as long as she agrees, we will handle the marriage for you immediately." ”

This, Zheng Chenggong was really a little scared, or nervous, but he really liked Chen Xiuxiu very much, he hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to walk towards Chen Xiuxiu.

At this time, Zhang Chengde and his wife, Tian Chuan and Zheng Chenggong were all quite nervous, but Chen Xiuxiu stood there like a nobody, staring at his little nephew seriously, ready to help them up at any time.

Zheng Chenggong looked at her beautiful face and said in a trembling voice: "Xiuxiu." ”

Chen Xiuxiu said playfully as always: "It's called Auntie." ”

Well, in terms of seniority, Chen Xiuxiu is indeed his aunt, in the past, in order to please Chen Xiuxiu, he would call his aunt and make her happy, but this time, he insisted: "Xiuxiu, shall we get married?" ”

"Ahh When Chen Xiuxiu heard this, he couldn't help but blush, he actually asked in front of so many people!

Her exclamation alarmed Zhang Xiang's sister and brother, and all five pairs of small eyes focused on her face.

Now she was even more ashamed and speechless, but Zheng Chenggong continued to insist: "Okay? ”

How do people say this, she naturally likes Zheng Chenggong too, otherwise she wouldn't stay with him all the time, people are like this, if you don't like a person, you will definitely try to dodge, if you don't dodge, stick together every day, it must be interesting.

However, she really couldn't say such embarrassing words, especially when she was stared at by a few little mischiefs, she could only nod slightly, and then, covering her face, ran away.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Chenggong, what's wrong with Auntie, what's good?" ”

Zheng Chenggong only felt full of joy at this moment, and he subconsciously replied: "Auntie, she is very good." ”
