Zhou Yueying thought about it for a long time, and finally had a vague idea, but when her mother appeared outside the door of the study, she had to put aside these thoughts for the time being. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Daughter, isn't the son-in-law already relieved the siege of Yushan County, even Hong Chengchou can't help him, you don't need to worry too much. Besides, eating less and thinking more is not a long-term solution, even if you don't care about yourself, you have to take care of the child in your womb. ”

"What the mother said was that my daughter was going to dinner."

After a salute, Zhou Yueying turned around and called Mo'er, and waited for the maid to close the door of the study again before returning to the dining room with her mother. Unexpectedly, while eating, the porter hurried over, saying that Zhou Jingting was outside the door and had something important to ask to see his wife.

Chen Wen went on the expedition, Zhou Jingting was his brother but he was also Chen Wen's subordinate, it was not convenient to visit his sister often, especially if he didn't want others to talk about him being a lucky person who climbed the corner of his sister's skirt to be reused, and he didn't want to let those long-tongued villains criticize his baby sister. However, when his mother moved in to take care of his daughter, he naturally had to come to greet him every day, although he could not achieve the real sense of morning and dusk, but he also had to greet one or two at the door of the inner house every day.

It's just that at this hour, with Zhou Jingting's temperament of working overtime every day, it seems a little too early.

"Mother, sister, the news just delivered, my brother-in-law recovered the city of Guangxin Mansion three days ago, and most of the civil and military generals of the Nanchang Shogunate below the rebel Hong Chengchou were captured by Wang Shi, a great victory!"

"Your brother-in-law ......"

"Brother, how is your husband?"

Worried, Zhou Jingting hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay, my brother-in-law is very good, and he is organizing Wang Shi to continue to regain the lost territory in Guangxin Mansion." ”

"That's good."

The men of their own family are fighting outside, even if they win the field battle and take advantage of the situation to attack, they are also inevitably frightened. It's just that this is a hero's fate, and as a hero's wife, it is natural to bear it. After getting Zhou Jingting's answer, Zhou Yueying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to react violently, and hurriedly apologized to her mother.

"Marry and follow the husband, your husband is fighting outside, and the woman should be a good helper at home, and it is natural to care about it, no need to mind."

The relationship between the daughter and son-in-law is very good, and the old lady is also deeply grateful. Especially now that the relationship between the Zhou family and Chen Wen has become inseparable, every step forward of Chen Wen, and every increase in his power has a great impact on the Zhou family, and even her maiden family will be stained by this. Whether it is her husband's family, her father's family, or cherishing her son and daughter, Mrs. Zhou naturally remembers the benefits of Chen Wen.

"Amitabha, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva blesses, the old body will go to repay the vows early tomorrow morning."

In this way, Zhou Jingting was dragged to chat for a while, but he didn't stay for dinner, so he returned to the official room under the pretext that he still had official business to deal with.

Chen Wen was a little dissatisfied with the killing of Guangxin Mansion, but he was not afraid that the Tartars would fight to the death in the future, or sympathize with those beasts. It's just that his sister is now pregnant with Liujia, so she kills fewer people and accumulates blessings for his little nephew, which makes him can't help but complain about Chen Wen in his heart.

This kind of reverie was only a way back, and when he returned to the official room, he immediately threw himself back into his work.

"Inform the editorial office of "Zhejiang Di Daily" that this edition of the special issue will increase the printing volume, especially in Ningshao and Shao, to the point that everyone knows about it."

Before going to report to his mother and sister, Zhou Jingting had already set the general tone at the internal meeting of the Ministry of Missions. Nowadays, in various prefectures, counties, and even wine shops and tea shops in the town, most of them have such a new profession as a doctor, and they are doing the work of reading newspapers to customers. And those who are literate at home also have many people who subscribe to the newspaper, especially those who read.

Ningbo and Shaoxing are newly recovered areas, although Chen Wen left a large number of soldiers in these two places, and the officials of the government and the guard office have long been in place, but Chen Wen hurried back to Jinhua, and then started a decisive battle with Hong Chengchou, and did not sit there for long.

The gentry class energy of these two prefectures is extremely strong, which is not at all comparable to the other six prefectures in eastern Zhejiang, and they are very disgusted by Chen Wen's behavior of reorganizing the tax on acres of land, otherwise there would be no trouble about Huang Zongxi's reconstruction of Dalan Mountain.

Now Chen Wen led the army to Jiangxi to fight a decisive battle with Hong Chengchou, and in the absence of armed forces, they still chose not to cooperate in the matter of measuring the acres of land, and even developed to the point that even the gentry with prestige in Yuyao Huangjia, Yinxian Wanjia and Lu Jia who chose to cooperate with the Zhejiang Ming Army Group could not be convinced, and were insulted by many gentry as traitors among the scholars.

"This time, I have to let those guys who don't know how to lift up see the current situation clearly!"

Every victory of the Ming army in Zhejiang, not only those high-ranking officials and soldiers, but everyone in this anti-Qing group benefited from it, and so did Zhou Jingting's staff.

The scholars and doctors of the two prefectures of Ningshao are not only very energetic in the local area, but also many of the Ming army in Zhejiang who joined them when they were in Dalanshan, and many things from the highest-ranking official Sun Yu and below who stayed behind feel very tricky, especially in the case of Chen Wen going out on an expedition, it is not light, it is not heavy, and it is very awkward. It can even be said that if it weren't for the Ming army's defeat of the Qing army in the Siming Mountains not long ago, and the prestige was still there, I am afraid that the local situation would have become more difficult to control.

And now, with this victory, although it was the Green Battalion that was defeated, it was the Green Battalion Heavy Soldier Group led by famous ministers like Hong Chengchou. The external victory was also enough to deter potential internal opponents, especially Chen Wen's post-war execution, and it was also a threat to the gentry who resisted the decree. The task of their mission department is to publicize the powerful military strength of the Ming army while putting this kind of intimidation out more intensively.

"Not only "Zhejiang Di Daily", but also the art troupe must pay close attention to the writing of the script, the previous speed of holding a script for several months was too slow. Forget it, this official should tell Chief Chen in person. ”

………………

Preparations had already begun for the celebration of Jinhua Mansion, but other work, especially the delivery of civilian and guard officers, soldiers and other military supplies, had already begun, and even Sun Yu himself was packing up and preparing to rush to Guangxin Mansion to meet Chen Wen.

Compared with the hinterland of the Ming army's occupied area, Quzhou's feelings about the war are even more profound, because once Yushan County is lost, Quzhou will face the Qing army next.

During this time, the gentry and merchants of Jinhua Mansion all felt the tense atmosphere, and one battalion after another of the Ming army followed the Qujiang River to the west, and batches of military supplies passed through here. Moreover, although there is relatively little news from the upper echelons, the businessmen have their own news channels, and the news of the people here is a few points faster than that of Jinhua Mansion.

First, the Qing army captured Yongfeng County, the Yang Wen brothers died, and Liu Guangbi slaughtered the city; The next thing was that the Qing army broke through Yulang River, and the Ming army failed to intercept the operation, and was forced to retreat to the county seat; Immediately, in the face of the Qing army, which was several times his size, Chen Wen led more than 10,000 soldiers to the battle.

By this time, almost everyone was terrified of the situation of the Ming army. But then, the news of the victory of Yushan and Guangxin Mansion came, although Chen Wen's killing ring still scared many people, but the victory of the Ming army is better than slaughtering the city at every turn, and the Qing army has to be rampant on weekdays, and it is better to kill the Qing army who shaved their hair and is easy to obey.

In the city of Quzhou, the atmosphere among the people is no longer as tense as it was a few days ago, and the flow of people in the streets and alleys has returned to denseness. The Changshan Wharf outside Xiaoximen is the most densely moored place for cargo ships from Changshan County. However, compared with those cargo ships from Changshan County, Wang Fu was ready to catch a boat back to Changshan County here, and set off for Jiangxi.

"Virtuous nephew, Jiangxi is still in chaos, and it will be safer to wait for the Duke of Guogong to clear the Tartars and then go over."

Similar advice, Wang Fu has heard too much in the past two days, from the first day he got the news of the victory in Yushan, he went to Jiangxi with a long thought.

He is a native of Huizhou, and he has the blood of a businessman in his bones. When he came to Quzhou because he valued Cigna, he was sought after by his peers for a long time, but he also knew that fame, especially the reputation of a businessman, was like snow in winter, and if he couldn't do more to roll the snowball while his reputation was still there, it wouldn't take long for it to melt gradually.

During this period of time, the attitude of the merchants in Quzhou towards him can also explain this matter, although the tea is not yet cold, but the freshness is getting smaller and smaller with the passage of time, and he is still doing nothing here, which is really unbearable for Wang Fu, a young businessman who has dreamed of becoming a big businessman in Huizhou since he was a child.

"Thank you to my uncle for taking care of me these days, and my little nephew is very grateful. It's just that the little nephew is a businessman, although Jiangxi is chaotic now, but the business opportunities also exist, the first to always get a piece of the pie, the little nephew has been in Quzhou for too long, and he needs to move, otherwise the body is lazy, which is not a good thing. ”

His uncle, who is still shrewd, is too bold, so the pattern is never big. Wang Fu's father said this to him at the beginning, and after getting along during this time, it was indeed confirmed in his heart. In contrast, in order to keep his word, he could venture through the blockade area of the Qing army, so why couldn't he go to the chaotic Jiangxi to look for business opportunities this time.

"Xiu Guogong killed Hong Rebellion, and it is only a matter of time before Jiangxi is completely recovered. The newly reclaimed land will inevitably be in chaos, but the original fixed commercial order will also be broken because of this. Just like the old Mr. Zhu in the city of Quzhou, as soon as the Ming army occupied Quzhou, he dared to come to raise iron ore, sulfur and other goods for the Ming army, so that with the support of the government, he was able to jump from an ordinary big businessman and become the most powerful bull in the Longyou merchant gang. ”

"If a person can be, so can I. It's best if you can see Guogong, even if you can't, I have a relationship with Li Shuai in Jiangxi. At that time, as long as there is the endorsement of the big men of the Ming army, help the Ming army to purchase military supplies, and transfer the goods of Jiangxi, Huizhou and Quzhou by the way, Jiangxi's business will only be a profit! ”

Boarding the cargo ship to Changshan County, carrying in his arms the letter from the last time he asked someone to go to Huizhou, and the hundreds of taels of silver that his father had brought when he replied to the letter, Wang Fu, a Huizhou businessman full of longing and hope, embarked on a journey to that unknown area. At the same time, on the north wall of Guangxin Mansion City, Chen Wen was holding a telescope and looking at the stubborn fortress in the north from afar.

"Mr. James, are you really sure that there is no other way but to besiege me?"

Hong Chengchou and most of the civil and military officials of the Nanchang shogunate were captured by Chen Wen, as a Jesuit priest, a blond and blue-eyed crooked nut, James didn't even have a chance to abscond with makeup, and was directly captured by the Ming army.

Although the formation of the Spanish phalanx and the construction of the fortress were all decisions made by Hong Chengchou, if it were not for this person, he would not have been able to realize these plans. Originally, Chen Wen was going to slaughter them together, but this white-haired baboon is now in a posture of "you can't help the fortress I built if you kill me", whether it is a radical method or not, Chen Wenzhi also has more interest, and he will continue to have a good time.

"Mr. Guogong, with all due respect, Your Excellency also built a fortress in Zhejiang, but it was too simple, and it was all in the outdated style of our Taixi. But even so, Hangzhou's army had no way to break through. Now your Excellency is facing the fortress that I personally commanded and built, although there is still a big gap between it and our Tessie's most easily defended and difficult fortress, but with your Excellency's army alone, it can only be the same result as our Tessie's army. ”

The white-haired baboon's mouth is our Tessie, which really makes Chen Wen look unpleasant. As far as he knew, this Europeans came to China after the Qing army entered the customs, and he had never seen what China was like in the Ming Dynasty, and perhaps if it weren't for them, the Ming army was still struggling to resist the invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this guy would have thought that Chinese had been braided since ancient times, and the Eguan Bo Belt was simply a slave's delusion of ancient times, probably a little better than what Magalny saw.

Listening to the Jesuit monk's answer, Chen Wen put away his binoculars, then picked up a charcoal pen and a ruler, and wrote and drew on the female wall of the city wall, and looked at the fortress in the distance from time to time.

After a long time, a plan of the structure of the fortress appeared in front of Chen Wen and James, and after reading this drawing, the corners of James's mouth subconsciously twitched twice. Immediately after, after regaining his composure, he replied with a sentence of "Mr. Guogong's memory is really good", full of yin and yang.

James's design of the fortress, Chen Wen did see it in Hong Chengchou's line, but after reading it, he threw it aside.

There is no other reason, now in 1654 AD, the history of the real design of the fortress to the point that there is no shooting blind spot of the great power has just joined the army, from he really determined his own positioning, began to play on the fortress shocked the world's military history of the left and right fighting skills, but it will take many years.

The design of James's fortress is decent, but it is also inseparable from the flaws of the fortress in this era in Europe, which is far less than the art that he saw in some military books and on the Internet in later generations. Those meat grinders that have no shooting dead angles at all have not been able to continue to deduce the myth of invincibility under the left and right fighting techniques, and this is it, and it is also worthy?

"Mr. James, in the next month, I will show you some new tactics, and let you understand this ghost." (To be continued.) )
