On the return journey of the Jingbei Army, Hu Bawan returned to Jinling with Xia Wanchun, and Hou Xuanyan missed this personal bodyguard very much, so he invited Li Haoxian and Hu Bawan to the palace to drink at an early banquet.

The palace has a set of cumbersome rules that inherit the previous dynasty, and Hou Xuanyan thought it was too tiring, so he raised his hand and said: "I drink with the old robe, it takes so many twists and turns, so it's better to just be in this Dongnuan Pavilion." ”

Xiao Lizi looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

"What I say is the rules, go ahead and do it."

Xiao Lizi was helpless, so she had to command the eunuch palace maid and hurriedly clean up.

After a while, Li Haoxian and Hu Bawan were talking and laughing, and put their arms into the hall.

Hou Xuanyan raised his eyes and saw that Hu Bawan was still the same as the iron tower in the past, standing next to Li Haoxian, who was also tall and mighty, he was a head taller.

"Haha, eighty thousand." Hou Xuanyan shook his fingers and said to Li Haoxian: "This is my hardest armor, and it is also my sharpest sword. ”

Hu Bawan glared at the mung bean's eyes, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

Hu Bawan, as a personal soldier, doesn't know how many times he has saved Hou Xuanyan's life, and he is a real henchman.

In the Northern Expedition that year, the situation was strange and strange, there were many enemies and friends in the court, and there was a danger of dying at the hands of his own people at any time.

No one dared to believe that only the brothers he brought from Dengzhou arranged by Li Haoxian dared to be used as personal soldiers. Now that Zhang Yiguan has been transferred to Zhejiang to serve as the chief soldier of the local government, Hu Bawan has also returned victorious, and he is not happy in his heart.

The palace people in the imperial dining room knew the emperor's temper and made a few delicate side dishes, and then it was the appetizer.

Two bottles of tribute wine were placed in the middle, and Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "Sit down, I haven't drunk Lao Li's wine for many days, this is still brought back to me by Yang Zhan from Sichuan and Shu." ”

Li Haoxian was also not polite, went down to the bottom, and said with a smile: "Eighty thousand, even I was stained with your light to eat His Majesty's wine." ”

Hu Bawan grinned and sat at the table, a little restrained, and it took a few glasses of wine to return to his original appearance.

After all, it is the friendship that comes out of the pile of dead people, and with the catalyst of wine, mutual feelings can soon rise.

"Eighty thousand, you killed the Tartars in Liaodong, and then went to North Korea, and just after the fight, you went to the northwest to fight with the Dzungars, and then fought the Rakshasa country. In just a few years, you have fought from east to west, how about it, now you have made your wish, right? Hou Xuanyan asked with a smile, when he was left by his side, Hu Bawan was like a wild horse that couldn't be bolted, he always disappeared by Hou Xuanyan's side when he was fighting, and he was scolded a lot for this.

Hu Bawan talked about the war with the Rakshasas in the northwest, and the combat power of Tsarist Russia was far worse than that of the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the eyes of these generals who retreated from the northwest.

"Don't mention it, I just started fighting with the Manchurian Tartars and those traitors in the Han Eight Banners, although these people are our enemies of life and death, I have to say that their combat power is okay. When I got to North Korea, I just didn't say anything... Hundreds of North Koreans gathered together, and they did not dare to fight with a few soldiers who were left behind, and those who served as soldiers were purely joking. Hey, it's not strange for you to say that these cowards were sent to Dzungaria, and suddenly they turned from pestilence chickens to vicious dogs, ruthless and vicious, and the means reached the point where even we looked at them and were covered in hair.

Later, the Dzungars were also a group of good opponents, their cavalry and archery were no less than those of Jiannu, but they suffered a big loss in firearms, and they were restrained by our formation, and it was difficult to win against these cavalry if they were replaced by other opponents.

As for the Rakshasas, that's it... These Mao Zifan people, bullying the natives of Siberia are quite expert, and they can't fight. ”

Hou Xuanyan did not shy away from saying this, before the Manchurian Eight Banners entered the customs, they were almost invincible in Mongolia. Tsarist Russia, on the other hand, relied only on expeditions and Cossack cavalry to gain prestige in the backward Siberian Khanate.

If the army of Jiannu met the same number of Tsarist Russian soldiers and horses on the battlefield, most of them would crush the existence of Tsarist Russia, but only limited by the Siberian weather and the magical brain circuits of the Manchurian Tatars would give up the vast Siberian Khanate.

Although Hou Xuanyan hated Jiannu, he did not deny the combat power of the Eight Banners at the beginning of the customs, and the fishing and hunting people naturally had their bravery, but the combat power declined really quickly after entering the customs.

In general, this group of people can only fight if they are poor, and they can build the country for a hundred years, and they must be grateful to those diligent traitors.

With a long sigh, Hou Xuanyan raised his wine glass, shook it, and said: "Tsarist Russia has suffered a big loss this time, but since then it has also suffered a lot of vitality. Our Dahua has been delayed for a few years, and although I have tried my best to remedy it over the years, I don't know what to do. ”

Although Li Haoxian does not ask about state affairs, he is a veteran after all, and Hou Xuanyan often recruits him to the Military Affairs Cabinet to participate in the formulation of military affairs. After listening to Hou Xuanyan's words, he said: "Your Majesty, if you want to test it, it's not easy. After a battle, we will know that our sailors are useless now, and the imperial court has spent a lot of money to support them, so we can't let them escort merchant ships all the time. ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled dumbly, the role of the sailor is so great that these veteran cadres of the army can imagine. At present, more than half of the inflow of capital in the Hua Dynasty is obtained by the deterrence of the sailors. The input of the sailor division is a bit large, which makes the four battalions have some opinions.

When the poor jingle sounded, Hou Xuanyan took out a lot of silver every year and invested it in the Songjiang sailor, who was still a fledgling at the time.

However, at that time, there was an incomparably powerful Zheng family sailor, which made the Songjiang sailor shrink in the Wusong River Institute, and there was no room for it to be displayed at all.

For this reason, the soldiers of the four battalions all have some opinions, after all, they were not as generous as they are now, and the soldiers lived a very hard life. This also makes them look at the water master unpleasantly all along.

One is His Majesty's own son, and the other is the feeling of picking it up....

"The sailor naturally has the use of the sailor, you are expanding the territory in the north, and the sailor is not far behind in the South Seas. After Java arrived, not to mention selling it to the Japanese natives to solve our urgent needs, the rubber and spice forests alone were enough to earn back the money I had invested. But you're talking about a fight... You might want to think about it. ”

As soon as Li Haoxian heard that there was going to be a war, his heart was a little itchy, but this time it was the sailor who went on the expedition, so he had no chance to participate. I had to ask with envy: "I don't know where to hit this time?" ”

"Fighting at close range is pure bullying, and now the sailor has gone to the slope because the few battles he has fought are near the sea. I heard that Yao Yiyao specializes in that kind of Dafu ship in Denglai, which looks like a mountain, and fighting in the offshore sea is of course a unique weapon, and it is purely a dream to go on an expedition.

This trend cannot be changed by my decree, and only through a few expeditions can the direction of the sailor's deviation be reversed.

I think the Ottoman Empire is a good opponent. ”

The Ottoman Empire was in old age, their rule was not very stable, and they controlled large swathes of the looted territory themselves. There is another important reason why Hou Xuanyan chose to practice with him, that is, the cohesion of the people in this country is not strong.

This is already a military secret, and Hou Xuanyan doesn't want to reveal too much, after all, it hasn't been completely decided.

The two of them also felt that they had heard enough today, and the three of them continued to drink and talk, and began to recall more about the time of the war.

After the wine was hot, the three of them were already drunk, and Xiao Lizi saw that His Majesty's face was red and shining, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, you have drunk too much." ”

Hou Xuanyan scolded with a smile: "I ate wine with a few brothers in life and death, and used you to ramble, and I didn't have the eyesight to get out of the way." ”

Xiao Lizi didn't dare to persuade again, and after a while, Hu Bawan and Li Haoxian somehow compared their fists and feet in the palace.

Hu Bawan's burly body like the Iron Tower was placed there, and he was born with divine power, like a small killing machine on the battlefield, but he was still defeated when he met Li Haoxian.

This kind of big open and big fighting, fist and fist, dragon spirit and tiger fierce, very ornamental.

Not only did Hou Xuanyan look straight, but the palace maids and eunuchs next to him also leaned on the pillar, secretly watching, and were shocked.

Hu Bawan fought for a while and said, "It's still Qi Guogong who is powerful, and Bawan won't want to beat you in this life." ”

Li Haoxian laughed, very proud, as the first hero of Dahua, which was the enemy of Yihe before the battle...

Only the traitor Li Shutai, who was rated as the first warrior by Nurhachi, can walk with him for a few rounds and get out of the way.

In that year, Li Shutai led his troops south, which frightened the gentry on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and also gave Zhu Dadian two defeats.

In order to save the situation, Hou Xuanyan set up a circle in Yangzhou, forced him into a desperate situation in the valleys of the big and small copper mountains, and then cut his head before the battle and spread it all over the south of the Yangtze River, which stabilized people's hearts.

Hou Xuanyan looked at it, a little itchy, his fist and foot kung fu was learned in the army, similar to the Taizu long fist of the nature of military boxing, the legend was handed down by Zhao Kuangyin.

Hou Xuanyan jumped on the stool and shouted, "Take my sword, and I will also play a trick." ”

----

In May of the third year of Tianjiao, the emperor and the Duke of Qi gathered for a drink, and the banquet rose, dancing the sword, and injuring his right ......

On the dragon chair, Hou Xuanyan was lying on it, with his butt facing up.

Yang Fujin was dressed in a thin veil, nervously wiping the scabbed blood clot on Hou Xuanyan's buttocks and applying gold sore medicine.

Her expression was focused, a white-haired man appeared on the tip of her nose, Hou Xuanyan looked back, and couldn't help laughing: "With such a small injury, Concubine Ai doesn't have to be nervous, I want to be in the midst of thousands of troops back then..."

"Your Majesty has never cut his ass in the midst of thousands of troops." Huang Ying'er on the side said angrily, not saving face for her husband at all.

Hou Xuanyan was a little embarrassed, and lay down angrily, no longer speaking.

Huang Ying'er looked at it, for fear that he would be really annoyed, so she came up again with good words to please her.

Because she is in the dormitory, Huang Ying'er is almost transparent and soft, faintly revealing the delicate skin color, her neckline is not fastened, and between the delicate collarbone and the smooth chest skin, her skin is white and crystalline.

Looking down along the placket, a pair of warm and pink little breasts, supporting the crescent-white little clothes up and down, although not very rich, but vaguely squeezing out a touch of delicate snow-white cleavage, Hou Xuanyan was thrilled.

Hou Xuanyan stretched out his hand, pulled her to him, slid her hand along the neckline, and played with one with one hand, causing Huang Ying'er to giggle, kicking her feet on the spacious dragon chair and laughing and screaming.

Seeing that the two of them were fighting again, the angry Yang Fujin raised his eyebrows, but the identities of these two people were unprovoked by himself, and the aggrieved Yang Fujin was about to cry before he got angry.

Seeing this, Hou Xuanyan tied the bandage himself, hugged the two beauties in his arms, and said with a smile: "It's not a little hurt, if you don't believe it, I will spoil the two of you in a while and prove yourself." ”

The two of them laughed together, and Yang Fujin blushed and said: "Your Majesty sometimes has to pay attention to your words and deeds, not to mention anything else, this time the injury is also a little ridiculous." ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled and hugged the two people to the embroidery bed carved from yellow rosewood, the lotus tulle shook gently, and the night was romantic....

Early the next morning, Hou Xuanyan got up early, dressed neatly under the service of the palace maid, and prepared to go to the early court.

At this time, a eunuch came in, handed him a secret scroll, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a post guard who sent it to the noon gate in the morning, saying that he wants His Majesty to open it himself." ”

Hou Xuanyan knew that this was the secret volume of the Hidden Elephant Camp, so he ripped open the stitches, took out the secret book from the mezzanine, unfolded it and read it for a while, and suddenly stood up.

The letter was sent from Java, three months ago when the Luzon sailors were inspecting the seas and accidentally spotted three ships that had lost their way at sea.

As soon as the sailor wanted to step forward to interrogate, the three boats turned around and ran, and the Dahua sailor had a big temper, and when he saw this, he opened fire directly.

Who knew that they were still running, and the Dahua sailors chased after them and caught up with three boats on the edge of an island a few days later.

It turned out that these were three Spanish silver ships, no wonder they fled when they saw the banner of the Chinese army's sailors, everyone knew that Hou Xuanyan had declared war on Spain. Not only did they rob them of all their colonies in the Far East, but they also made cruel promises to go on an expedition to the West and set up a governor's palace in Madrid.

The sailors captured three silver ships and planned to return to Luzon to report their merits, but when they looked back, they found that they had arrived at an island they had never seen before.

This island is so big and boundless that after the sailor's small thousand households returned, he immediately reported it.

The Luzon sailors were overjoyed and sent a fleet to explore, sailing around the island for half a month without finding the end.

The sailor expected that this was a huge piece of inland, not even less than half the size of the Hua Dynasty.

After landing on the island, there are no obvious cities and countries on it, and all kinds of strange animals are running around.

The Admiral of the Luzon Navy revealed the great joy of Chongxi, and immediately declared that this was a terra nullius land, which belonged to the Hua Dynasty, and reported it to the Son of Heaven.

Hou Xuanyan touched his head, according to the description on the table, he probably knew, isn't this Australia?

....

Two countries fight for a little land, and sometimes a large piece of land is obtained, and it is so effortless to create this thing, it is really magical!
