Zhu Youxiao said: "It's not two, it can only be one, and there is one underage, who do you say you want to marry?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Man Gui, and Zhu Youxiao said happily: "Qianyi, you are willing to marry a Mongolian woman, let me tell you, this is called Hai He Zhu, which looks very good." It is a kind of healthy beauty, they don't know how to appreciate it, and they don't want to see it when they hear that it is a Mongolian woman. ”

Man Gui didn't say anything, but his face was so red that it seemed like he was about to drip blood. Zhu Youxiao suddenly realized: "Factory minister, you go to the queen, bring the big one over, and let General Man take a look at it himself." ”

After Wei Zhongxian left, everyone saw Man Gui's appearance and stopped talking about it, and Zhu Youxiao and Sun Lu began to discuss how to recruit new cadets to the military academy. After a while, Wei Zhongxian reported: "Princess Hai Lanzhu of Horqin asks to see the emperor. ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and naturally a eunuch said, "Xuan." ”

Hai Lanzhu walked in and said unnaturally: "Hai Lanzhu has seen His Majesty the Ming Emperor. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Flat, give a seat." Then he began to ask her if she was used to it here, and if the grassland was fun, and asked her not to be restrained, and to have fun in the capital, and then let her retreat. Hai Lanzhu was full of doubts, wondering why there were a few men who were obviously not eunuchs when the emperor saw him, so he retreated jerkily.

As soon as Hai Lanzhu retreated, Zhu Youxiao looked at Man Gui. Man Gui's face turned even redder, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "I think it's much stronger than what Qianyi said on weekdays, I can tell you, after this village, there will be no such shop." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "General Man, what do you think?" ”

Man Gui ate for a while and said, "The minister is the emperor's master." ”

Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and said: "Bingo! The factory minister asked Wu Mengming to go back, and when General Man was happy, he asked him to send a big gift. Let Qin Tianjian see a good day, I want to give marriage. ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly asked people to go out and pass the word to Wu Mengming, thinking to himself what the Holy Lord was happy about, when would the minister get married and see the days to be used in Qin Tianjian, why didn't such a watery person accept it himself. Although the waist is a little thicker and the butt is a little bigger, isn't it better to give birth? Now the emperor's heirs are a little small after all.

The next day, the emperor issued an edict to crown Mao Wenlong as the uncle of Dongjiang. This is different from others who are knighted according to their place of birth, which makes Mao Wenlong very happy. He said to the messenger who delivered the message: "My emperor loves his ministers deeply, and the ministers will repay him." ”

The eunuch who delivered the decree said: "Uncle Mao, the Sprinkle family will tell the saint this." Don't forget about it, don't forget the money. ”

Mao Wenlong exclaimed: "Is there only one holy decree?" Is there no divine decree for mobilization? ”

The eunuch smiled: "There is only one, Uncle Mao, the Sprinkle family is leaving." With that, he rubbed his right finger together. In fact, he didn't understand what this action meant, but the emperor said that this was what it meant to ask for money.

Mao Wenlong was overjoyed, so he asked someone to bring a plate of silver coins. The eunuch took one regretfully and said, "Only take one, but if you have more, you will lose your head." Then he tossed the silver coin and went aboard.

Mao Wenlong looked back at Chen Qiyu and the Dongjiang generals, and asked uncertainly, "Brother Chen, what does this mean?" Do I want to ask for another tune? ”

Chen Qiyu was also a little strange, and he couldn't understand it for a while, so he said: "This is not necessary, Count Mao's loyalty is known to the emperor and the cabinet." In this place of the Dongjiang River, the role of the earl is irreplaceable, so let's do it first, and the emperor's reward will be distributed first, so that everyone will be happy. ”

Dongjiang Town held a banquet to celebrate Mao Wenlong's knighthood, the generals were promoted, and the soldiers were rewarded. After three days of excitement, everyone went back to various places and began to build farms and mountain farms.

Soon after, the order of the military department came down, requiring all the chief officers above the director of Dongjiang Town to enter the military academy to study. And according to their interests and specialties, they entered the Daming Royal Army Lecture Hall and the Daming Royal Navy Military Academy.

Now that the war in Liaodong is basically over, there will only be two directions for the war in the future, one is Mongolia to the north, and the other is the maritime states to the south.

The generals of Dongjiang Town were very excited, some chose the Army Lecture Hall, while more chose the Navy Military Academy. After all, everyone is based on Phi Island, and although they don't know much about naval warfare, at least they don't get seasick when they sit on the boat.

When the new phase of the Wutang school started, it was just in time for the happy event of the Mongolian princess Horqin marrying the uncle of the mansion, yes, although Man Gui is an earl, this is still considered to be married. Although Mangui's ancestral home is Yi County, Shandong Province, his family has already moved to Xuanfu, but his parents have died and there are no brothers and sisters, so all wedding matters are presided over by the royal family.

Zhu Youxiao gave him a mansion, and the eldest princess recognized him as her righteous son, and Yang Guangkui and Yang Guanggao were responsible for arranging a new house for him. Zhu Youxiao named Hailanzhu as the eldest princess of the pearl, which also satisfied the Horqin tribe.

The wedding was extremely lively, and the emperor gave a pair of middle halls: a match made in heaven, of course, it was written by Dong Qichang. All the ministers gave gifts, Sun Chuanting personally presided over the wedding, the Hakka family performed the duties of the woman's mother, and Chen Conghuan performed the duties of the woman's brother. The cadets of the Fifth Division of the Guards Army formed a welcoming procession together, with Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guanggao as the prime ministers. Many Wenchen secretly shook their heads, lamenting that the era of martial artists had come, but there was nothing they could do.

Because Man Gui was newly married, Yang Guanggao served as the commander of the Fifth Division, and Man Gui was transferred to the commander of the Independent Brigade, so that he could accompany the bride in Beijing for a while. Man Gui was embarrassed and wanted to go out of Beijing to lead the troops, but Zhu Youxiao choked back with a word: "You keep a seed first, you don't have a man and a woman at such an age, are you worthy of your parents?" ”

Therefore, when Man Gui was working hard to create people, in addition to showing up in the Independent Brigade every day, he went to lecture in the martial arts hall as a part-time professor. He has fought in Jeju, Japan, and Liaodong, and has a deep understanding of geography, terrain, customs, and combat power, so he is very popular with students.

And Man Gui officially accepted Chen Conghuan as his brother-in-law, bought him a house near his house, and proposed a family business to him, Chen Conghuan is now the deputy battalion commander, and he happens to be studying in the martial arts hall, and he can be promoted to battalion commander after graduation. He originally wanted to go to the Naval Academy, but Man Gui wouldn't let him go. And said to him: "Don't think about going to the battlefield again before you leave the Chen family behind. I'm seasick, it's unlikely that the emperor will send me to the south, you have to stay under my nose, so let's stay quietly in the martial arts hall. ”

The Daming Royal Naval Academy was headed by Huang Kezhang as the vice principal, and Zhang Qianfang was in charge of all the affairs of the school, with more than 200 students. Huang Kezhang demanded that the first batch of trainees graduate in March next year, because he will start attacking the first target after the weather turns bad next year.
