In November, the whole of Jiangnan is enveloped in winter.

Chen Ming, who had returned to Nanjing, was not accustomed to this cold, clammy and cold feeling, and he asked the guards of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to burn coals in various rooms all day long with pots of charcoal to dispel the damp and cold that made him very uncomfortable.

I think that at the beginning, he didn't spend the winter in Jiangnan in his previous life, but in his previous life, there was air conditioning, and the earth in the 18th century only had coal and dry firewood.

Chen Ming has known the words 'cold and wet and cold' for a long time, which is the description of winter in Jiangnan by many people, saying that winter is the most difficult time of the year in Jiangnan. In the 21st century, he didn't feel much about this, but felt that the winter in Jiangnan was much warmer than in his hometown, and he didn't need to wear an eiderdown jacket.

It was only now that he really felt what it meant to be cold and what it meant to be clammy and cold. The temperature here is indeed much higher than the cold winter in the north, but the winter is not at all better than in the north. Because of the humidity in the south of the Yangtze River, after the weather becomes cold, there are thousands of cold needles hidden in the tide, which are drilled straight into the human bone marrow. Compared with the cold of the northern winter, which is 'dripping into ice and the cold wind is biting', the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is even less pleasing to Chen Ming.

Zhang, who was sent to Nanjing in late October, fell ill as soon as he arrived. The climate in Fujian is a lot wrong with Jiangnan, and the Lin and Yao families in Taiwan who were sent at the end of October have also suffered from the cold. However, the two daughters of the Zheng family and the Shi family sent by the Zheng brothers in Guangdong are in very good health.

In November, Chen Ming, who had successively adopted all five daughters, also preferred the two daughters of the Zheng family and the Shi family, who were healthier. One of these two is a member of the Zheng family, and the other is a descendant of Zheng Lianchang's wife (Shi family), and the two were born at sea. As a woman, although you don't have to board a ship to go to sea to plunder, how can a person with poor body and bones stand life at sea?

Among the five women, Yao's appearance is the best in Taiwan, the skin is white and smooth, the ancients said, 'hands are like soft wattles, skin is like clotted fat', describing a beauty like Yao's, but unfortunately she is a small foot. Yao's background is very good, the family is the surname of Hsinchu, and it is the most standard lady in China in this era. It's just that the current Hsinchu has been taken by the Tiandihui rebels, if it weren't for the people of the Tiandihui who still needed the Yao family, the fate of their family would be very miserable, and the fate of her own would be even more miserable.

Among the six daughters in the backyard of the Metropolitan Governor of Nanjing, Yao's appearance is only comparable to Liu Bangyun, if it weren't for the deformed little feet of Laos, Chen Ming would be very good to her, but Yao's little feet are more powerful than Liu Bangyun's, after seeing the little feet, Chen Ming, who had a certain psychological shadow, couldn't love her - anyway, it's all accepted, don't talk about feelings or not feelings - just put it there lukewarmly. Even Yao's face and his skin that deceives frost and snow are very annoying.

Shi is the darkest of the five women, and her body is the best, in other words, Shi has done the most labor. Shi's appearance is not as good as Yao's, or even better than Zhang's, but she has a good figure. She is only a little over sixteen years old, and the feeling of being held in Chen Ming's arms is only two words - meat, bullet! At the same time, her family situation and background are also the worst of the five daughters, and the highest one in her immediate family is the middle-level leader of the Zheng family's fleet.

From crossing to win the battle in northern Jiangsu, Chen Ming only had two women, but he returned to Nanjing from Yangzhou for half a month, he used five women in a row, and with the arrival of the beauties sent by Fujian Land World (before the Chinese New Year), the number of Chen Ming's consequences will increase again. This made him subconsciously give birth to a feeling of not being able to live with the eldest wife of the main house, and took advantage of his son's second birthday to personally pick up countless treasures in the warehouse, choose four boxes, and let the dark camp return to the general's mansion. Of course, there is also a letter from him in between. As for Liu Bangyun, Chen Ming gave her the status of the second room.

Chen Ming, who has come to his current position, does not need to pay too much attention to the various things in the inner courtyard. If you look at it from the perspective of the rules of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the five girls sent over this time are all slaves. Chen Ming only needs to give them the dignity they deserve, and the family and forces behind them will feel at ease. As for the other battles, how old is Chen Ming now? The Chen family's world is far away, and there will definitely be competition for favor among women in the inner room, but the drama of winning the heir is still far away.

is as 'favored' as the legendary Yonglaosi to Nian's, Chen Ming can't use it.

"A thousand catties of sulfur for a small cannon, three thousand catties of sulfur for a medium-sized one, and five thousand catties of sulfur for a large eight-pound cannon. One hand delivery, one hand delivery, fair trade. The location is in Hangzhou Bay. In addition, we will select a batch of shotguns that can be used and trade them as well. ”

In front of a large map of the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Ming's gaze had already crossed Suzhou to Hangzhou.

"Give the Zhang family an extra twenty cannons, and the Zheng family and Taiwan each have ten cannons. Half of the five-pound cannon and the eight-pound cannon. "The Fu Han army has come out with ten catties of cannons now, but Chen Ming is holding it down.

Chen Minglian gave instructions to let the secret camp send a message to Fujian Hailu, and the transaction in Hangzhou Bay could be prepared carefully. The army of the Fuhan army in Jiangbei has been slowly transferred back from Huai'an to Nanjing and Zhenjiang, and Chen Ming has decided to march south, and in a few days he will send troops to attack Suzhou, and this time he must pull out this nail. Before the Chinese New Year, sweep the northern part of Zhejiang into pieces.

"Summons Jiujiang, a year ago, the second battalion of the Navy Division must be sorted out for me."

"Let the dark camp work the Qing army and militia in Hubei. We should also use force against Shandong. This time, Shandong Lian Yong was used as cannon fodder by the Qing army, and his heart was indignant.

In addition, Liu Yong is dead, so Kong Zhaohuan doesn't need to kill him......"

Chen Ming rubbed a white jade lion in his hand, his eyes narrowed, he pondered for a long time, and said to Liu Dezhao: "You say, will the Manchu Qing Dynasty teach the position of the minister of Shandong regimental training to the Kong family now?" ”

"It's ......, it's unlikely." Liu Dezhao said: "Shandong Lian Yong has two intentions (those who surrendered can testify), Qufu Kong has a deep foundation in Shandong, and the warehouse is full of money and grain. If the position of the minister of Shandong regimental training is taught to the Kong family, there is no one like Liu Yong to check and balance, I am afraid that in a few days, Shandong Lianyong will become the private army of the Kong family. With the ability of Qianlong and the ability of the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, we will not fail to see this. ”

There was only the occasional snapping sound of the brazier burning in the room, and Chen Ming closed his eyes and pondered again.

"What about the picture? Doesn't it have any impact on the Kong family at all? ”

"Of course there is an impact. However, most of the people who initiated the group training were local clans, and the connection between these people and the Kong family could not be cut off with a single map. "It's already November, and the P picture of Confucius has spread all over the three provinces of Zhili, and the scholars in Henan and Hebei are in an uproar, and they don't know how many insults are directed at the Mixed Yuan Sect every day. After the Qing army returned to the south of the Yellow River, Liu Song and others retreated back to the mountains of Luxi. No matter how many people hate them to the core, the Manchu Qing really can't help them for a while.

In the process of spreading this matter, countless gray-haired old men lay in the Confucian temples and Confucius temples in various places and wept bitterly, and those who didn't know thought that they were all dead one by one. The common people also had a lot of discussions, and during this period, many jokes made fun of Old Master Kong were secretly released by the secret camp. In this process, it is not that no one suspects that the Mixed Yuan Sect was instructed by the Fu Han Army, but the spearhead of countless scholars still pointed at the Mixed Yuan Sect, who made them the first to highlight the map.

Chen Ming was a little anxious in his heart. Seriously, the brewing time of this matter is still too short, and the backlash and anger of scholars everywhere can be seen, and the impact and blow to Confucianism still need time to brew, and there will be obvious manifestations there.

"Let the secret camp in Shandong send two famous doctors to Yang Ji." Among the three giants of the Mixed Yuan Sect, Yang Ji's body bones are the worst. "Then find someone to make a film, detain Huayi's distinction, and use the Kong family as a raft, these people kneel five Hu first, then kneel Jurchen, three kneel Meng Yuan, four kneel Manchu, not for the son of man."

……

The atmosphere in the room was once again depressed, Chen Ming was angry, and a compelling momentum naturally erupted from his body. Migrate qi and nourish the body. No matter how ordinary a person is, in the past year or two, he has thousands of troops in his hands, and he has repeatedly won battles, and he will be as imposing as he is now. Chen Ming was very unhappy with the Kong family in his heart, if the Kong family only had the treatment of the Meng family, it would be fine. But the honor given to the Kong family by the successive dynasties is too high, and the bones of the Kong family are too soft.

"Recently, there are a group of scholars in Jiangnan who have joined our army, and there are no scholars among these people, but there are a few people who are talented and talented, and they have all been masters in the yamen in the past. This kind of person is more capable than a mere reader.

You go and meet them. If it is appropriate, send a list to the gendarmerie battalion, let them check it first, and if it is okay, mention it to the chamberlain's room. "Chen Ming didn't want Liu Dezhao to be the 'chief examiner', but Liu Dezhao's position can also be regarded as an interviewer, and he has great power.

This is a sign that Chen Ming wants to reuse Liu Dezhao, and it can be regarded as another test.

Since the victory of the battle in northern Jiangsu, the views of the people in Jiangnan on the Fu Han army have quietly changed, a great change.

In the recruitment offices of Yangzhou, Nanjing, Zhenjiang and other places, there are talented people arriving every day, and these people have various identities, including poor talents, litigants, masters, and teachers or Xixi, and even those who are bookkeepers.

These people have different occupations, but after entering the large collective of the Fu Han Army, they can all find their own positions. The recruitment office of the Fu Han Army was set up early, why didn't these people participate before, but now they are rushing in? Isn't it that the situation of the Fu Han Army was bad before, and it was not favored.

The impact of the Battle of Northern Jiangsu was so great. Not only the Yuanjiao and local pharmacists in Yuzhou, Henan, but also Jiangnan and Taizhou are only separated by a water, and the people of Jiangnan have been shaken more violently.

It has not been a month before and after, and the Fu Han army has gathered hundreds of literate people who have defected. Among them, Chen Ming is most favored by those who have the experience of a master, these people are educated and skillful, if they are released as officials, Chen Ming does not think that they are worse than those Jinshi.

The attendant room will become Chen Ming's future storage warehouse, and among the dozen or so people Liu Dezhao went to interview this time, as long as half of them enter the attendant room, and half of them can be as Chen Ming wants, it will be commendable.

"Tell Jigong again, take advantage of the war, under the pretext of the unstable situation, move the cabin to Zhoushan ......" (to be continued.) )
