It was already afternoon after Dong You boarded the ship, and the Endeavour quickly raised its sails and left the dock first, this time she didn't have to think about which lucky ships to sail with full sails. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zheng Sen knew that Dong You was in the cabin opposite, but at the moment, he couldn't go to see her, so he stayed in his cabin and played Go with Kong Zhang. The two of them set up their seats, and you and I got up with one hand and the other. Both of them played very quickly at first, but after a while, the chessboard of the quircilla was full of chess pieces, and at this time, the speed of the two of them gradually slowed down. But it turned out that it was because Zheng Sen took off his hands in a row to grab the big official first, but now a big dragon can't put two eyes, although he may not die, but in the process of survival, he is afraid that Kong Zhang will take advantage of a lot. If you really want to do this, then it is better not to rob those two big officials.

"Brother Bangui, there is one thing I want to ask you." Zheng Sen thought for a while, then said this while landing a white piece on the chessboard.

"What's the matter?" Kong Zhang didn't look up, just stared at the chessboard, while thinking about the move.

"I want you to go to Ma Yaocao and make him a general." Zheng Sen said.

Kong Zhang was putting his right hand in the chess jar and grasping the black chess pieces and making a noise, when he heard this, he stopped and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Three things, one is to help Ma Yaocao keep half of the south of the Yangtze River." Zheng Sen said, "Zuo Liangyu's side has lost the battle again. After Zhang Xianzhong wins, if he can't keep it, he will flow towards the south of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan is our source of wealth, but we can't let him come in and mess around. Now that the imperial court is ready to reactivate the Zhou Yu rope, the Zhou Yu rope can be activated, and my family has made a lot of efforts. Recently, my family promoted Ma Yaocao to Zhou Yusheng as the governor of Lufeng, and this appointment should not be a big problem. It won't be long before the appointment of the imperial court will come down. However, there are not many soldiers under his command who can fight. As for Zhang Xianzhong -- especially the recent defeat of Zuo Liangyu, a guy who threw a lot of ordnance bought from us to Zhang Xianzhong -- I don't think it's good, because Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion is better equipped than most of the officers and soldiers in the DPRK and China. I'll give you some model troops, you take them to Ma Yaocao's account, and he also needs a force to deter his arrogant soldiers.

The second thing is to continue to ensure that the displaced people continue to flow into our hands. Enough personnel are our colony ...... Ah, the basis of the government of three generations. Today, the Luzon region can accommodate at least a million more immigrants, and in the long run, many more. The war in the Central Plains has led to the displacement of a large number of people. Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other thieves are accustomed to coercing the homeless, and when the officials and soldiers of our dynasty fight with the thieves, if they are defeated, it will be fine. If you win......" Zheng Sen smiled bitterly again, "If you win, the rogues will leave these homeless people and run away, and the officers and soldiers of our dynasty are not willing to take the trouble and risk chasing the thieves, but to catch these homeless people and cut off their heads in exchange for merit and bounty." As a result, we failed to deal a decisive blow to them, and cut down all the displaced people who could have been sent overseas by us. In addition, the imperial court is now unable to pay military salaries, and some officers and soldiers are actually not much different from the rogues. They also count on letting the rogues run around, and then they follow and rob them. When you get there, try to save the homeless people who have been coerced by the gangsters as much as possible, and then we will send them to Taiwan or Luzon, which can be regarded as preserving some more vitality for China. ”

"How could Zuo Liangyu lose to Zhang Xianzhong? His soldiers should be better than Zhang Xianzhong's, right? Kong Zhang asked with a frown.

"Zuo Liangyu's soldiers should still be stronger, but I'm worried that Zuo Liangyu is afraid that he is playing the trick of raising thieves and self-respect." Zheng Sen said, "I don't want to fight seriously with others at all, I just plan to wait for others to rob them, and then he will rob them." Outcome...... I heard that Zhang Xianzhong was deceived and lost, and the stolen gold, silver and jewelry were thrown all over the ground. Zuo Liangyu's army immediately lost control, everyone ran to grab things, and even infighting broke out over grabbing things. As a result, Zhang Xianzhong came back with his men and horses, and Zuo Liangyu was immediately defeated. Then, Zhang Xianzhong snatched a lot of weapons and armor from Zuo Liangyu......"

"I see." Kong Zhang nodded, and then said, "You have to assign me a command team." The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and I don't know how to fight, at most I can only run some official things. I can't really handle a war. ”

Zheng Sen listened and said with a smile: "Didn't I often hear Brother Bangui talk about history and soldiers, and always compare himself with Zhuge Kongming? ”

"A gentleman does not remember the old evils." Kong Zhang's eyes widened and said, "When did I say such stupid things?" Da Mu still uses this to talk about things, but he is too disloyal! Later, after a period of auditing in the officer school of the Model Army, and after watching several battles with the Spaniards, did I still say such things? It's really unkind, not a gentleman's style. ”

Kong Zhang muttered as he put the sunspot in his hand on the chessboard. Zheng Sen stared at Kong Zhang's fallen son, then laughed, picked up a white piece from the chess jar, and quickly landed on the chessboard and said, "Haha, live, live!" ”

"What?" Kong Zhang's eyes widened, staring at the chessboard, and after a while, he said: "You are too cunning, you will interrupt at a critical time, otherwise how could I not see such a small trick?" Even if I let you ...... this game" turned out to be a means of taking off the boots on the chessboard, but it was just a breath away, but it was not established. However, Kong Zhang didn't see it, so he was busy breaking Zheng Sen's eyes, and he was fooled. I tightened my breath, but Zheng Sen was eaten four times at once, and the two eyes of the big dragon suddenly came out. In this way, Kong Zhang was robbed of two big officials by Zheng Sen first, and he had already lost more than ten or twenty sons, and then not only let his big dragon live, but even lost four sons. This game of chess was suddenly unwatchable.

"What do you mean to let me? My name is Magic Hands, you know? Zheng Sen also shouted with a grin.

"Alright, it's your skill." Kong Zhang didn't argue anymore, just stretched out his hand and slowly put away the chess pieces on the chessboard: "Da Mu, what is the third thing?" ”

"In order to effectively command the army, Ma Yaocao may plan to borrow a human head to establish his authority. Naturally, this matter should also be taken over by Brother Bangui. Zheng Sen said slowly while putting the chess pieces into the chess jar.

"Isn't it Ma Yaocao planning to move Liu Zeqing?" Kong Zhang said, "If you want to say that this guy really deserves to be killed." ”

"This is the man." Zheng Sen nodded and said.

……

Early the next morning, the ship approached the pier in Anping.

"Miss, miss, what do you see over there?" Lotus Flower lay on the small window by the sea and said excitedly. She was still a half-grown child, and leaving home wasn't enough to make her sad for too long.

Dong You walked over and took a look, but saw that there seemed to be a wall on the coast in the distance.

"Maybe this is Anping Fort." Dong You said that his younger brother also told her about Anping's situation.

"That's where the cannon is going to be fired, right?" Lotus asked. Late yesterday, someone came to tell them that when the ship arrived in Anping, Anping Fort would fire a cannon to greet them, and asked them not to panic.

"Actually, it's just a few large firecrackers." This is what the servant woman who came to deliver the message said at that time.

"I haven't seen a cannon yet." Lotus Flower said, "It should be louder than firecrackers, right?" I don't know which is louder than thunder? ”

Dong You smiled, and was about to answer, when he saw a few puffs of white smoke rising from Anping Fort opposite, and after a while, he heard a thunderous roar.

"Miss, is this the sound of the cannon firing? It's really like thunder. "Ah, by the way, Miss, you're going to go ashore soon, and you're going to put your hijab on." ”

"It's still early." Dong You shook his head. In the wedding, the women go to the man's house, preferably at dusk, so although the boat arrives at the dock early in the morning, they do not disembark until after noon.

……

The boat was parked on the dock, but no one got off the boat. It wasn't until after noon that Zheng Sen got off the boat first. The guards led him to the horse, and Zheng Sen got on the horse, and then led a group of people to run towards the general soldier's mansion first. According to the rules, he should wait at the door of the house first, and then take Dong You into the door with him after Dong You arrives.

The General Military Mansion was not far from the dock, and Zheng Sen arrived at the door in a blink of an eye. At this time, there were already many people waiting at the door. At a glance, Zheng Sen recognized Gu Jiang, Ma Shiying, and Xia Wanchun standing next to them.

Zheng Sen dismounted from his horse, handed the horses to his retinue, and hurried up to greet them.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient, and these people can travel thousands of miles to attend Zheng Sen's wedding, and Zheng Sen certainly wants to express his gratitude to them. However, this is not the time to speak carefully, so I just exchanged a few words of greeting.

Then the bride's carriage arrived, still four scarmal horses, and such a tall horse startled those who came to congratulate him.

"I can't imagine that there is such a tall horse in this world!" Ma Shiying couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid it's going to be almost two thousand catties, right?" Compared to this one, the horses I've seen before are like donkeys! ”

"This horse is so big, I don't know how fast it should run." Xia Wanchun also sighed.

"Ma Lao, Xia Xiaoyou." Gu Jiang said, "This is also the first time I have seen this horse. However, in the past Oki wrote to me, he also mentioned this kind of horse, saying that this horse is called Shire Horse, which is a breed of Tessie's horse, although it is strong and powerful, but it is actually not very fast. Basically, in Tessie, it is a horse that is specially used to pull carts. But the white horse that Damu rode over just now is really a good running horse. ”

At this time, the carriage door opened, and Lotus helped Dong You get out of the car, and entered the door with Zheng Sen. In the so-called tradition of later generations, the bride stepped over a brazier when entering the door, and it was said that in order to prosper. However, at this time, there was no such custom.

The two entered the door, Lotus Flower helped Dong You to stand facing the north, and Zheng Sen stood facing the south and saluted each other. Then they went into the house together and went to worship.

At this time, the worship hall is not the same as the so-called "one worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other" or something that we are used to later. On this day, the bride will not see her parents-in-law, as Zhu Qingyu wrote in "Recently Tested Zhang Shuibu": "Last night, the red candle was stopped in the cave room, and I waited to visit my aunt (father-in-law and mother-in-law) in front of Xiaotang." "The salute to the father-in-law and mother-in-law will not be done until the second day.

As for saluting the ancestors or something, it is even more backward. Therefore, at this time, the worship hall is actually only the same as the husband and wife. It's just a matter of prostration.

After worshipping the church, Zheng Sen picked up Dong You's hijab. This is also different from the later generations, the hijab of the later generations was not uncovered until the cave room, but in the Ming Dynasty, the hijab was unveiled after worshipping the hall.

Then it is to sit in the hall (Zheng Sen helped Dong You to sit on the right chair in the middle of the hall, and then sat down on the left side by himself. And then there's the prison ceremony. Then it's time to enter the cave.
