"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and even the treasure ship shook, and a wave of heat rushed towards the face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Gui gritted his teeth and looked at the sea, one after another the warships of the Ilkhanate were shrinking into the bay, but there were still seven or eight warships that did not retreat but advanced, desperately rushing towards the Ming fleet. After this chaotic battle, although the losses of the Ming fleet did not reach the point of breaking the muscles and bones, the formation was inevitably disrupted, so these enemy ships rushed and became even more chaotic.

There was even a Ilkhanate warship that was beaten and burst into flames - I don't know which treasure ship was the credit for the fire oil canister shot by the three-bow bed crossbow - crashed into the desperate obstruction of the two Ming army flying clippers and crashed directly into the flagship of the Ming army, which really startled the soldiers on board, but fortunately, this warship was obviously also the end of the crossbow, and this collision did not have much impact on the huge hull of the flagship.

It's just that the mast on the warship gradually broke and collapsed because of the fire, which has the meaning of bringing the flames to the Ming warship, but unfortunately the surface of the Ming warship was originally coated with a layer of fireproof materials, and the ship had already prepared, so this little bit of Mars will not cause a catastrophe.

But after all, the flagship is the soul of a fleet, although Zhang Gui didn't blame anyone, but these admirals still felt that their faces were gloomy, after all, the treasure ships and the merchant ships that followed behind were all watched by the brothers of the Lu Division, if they were really given a "cut general and capture the flag" by the Mongolian Tartars, then where to put this face?

So without waiting for Zhang Gui's order, the two treasure ships have already stepped forward to escort one left and one right, and the rest of the treasure ships and the flying clippers are also hurrying to clean up the battlefield, so the thrilling scene should not come well.

"Let the merchant ships behind keep up, and let Lou Ping and Meng Buqi in front hurry up and clean up the bay!" Zhang Gui loudly ordered that the top priority was not the face of the navy, but to enter the harbor before the storm came again, this is the problem of the inside, Zhang Gui is not an idiot who only cares about face and does not care about the inside.

There was a hint of chill in the cool breeze blowing from behind, and Zhang Gui vaguely noticed something, subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the raindrops fell in his palm, cold and refreshing,

Exhaling lightly, Zhang Gui frowned and continued to look ahead, the warships of the Ilkhanate had retreated into the bay, and obviously they had already understood what fate awaited them, the warships guarding on both sides of the bay had been replaced by the flying clippers of the Ming army, the red dragon flag was fluttering on the mast of the ship, and the treasure ships were slowly sailing into the bay, and the moment these treasure ships entered the bay, it was naturally the moment when the warships of the Ilkhanate were destroyed.

This sudden and time-racing encounter finally came to an end, although there were many flaws in the Ming Nanyang Fleet, but thankfully did not make any mistakes, which also made Zhang Gui's heart feel a little relieved, such a large-scale naval fleet, I am afraid that it is already all the belongings that the Ilkhanate can handle, and it is better to solve the enemy in this sea area that is unfamiliar to both sides, for Zhang Gui or the entire Nanyang Fleet, it is better than a decisive battle with it at the enemy's doorstep.

Zhang Gui subconsciously looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were like ink, and they were pressed on the sky above the fleet again, and the storm that had just escaped was obviously coming again, but compared to the last time, this time the Ming fleet had a wide enough haven, and God's wind and rain also dragged on until after the Ming army defeated the enemy.

I don't know if this is God blessing this fleet that has crossed the ocean to carry out an adventurous plan, or if the blood and sweat of the Ming soldiers have moved the sky.

But Zhang Gui knows that at this moment, the Nanyang Fleet, which has undergone a baptism of war, has been reborn.

"It's cold, it's not good to taste green tea after all, the concubine made a cup of newly paid Pu tea from Dali as her husband," Lu Wanyan walked to Ye Yingwu's table, and the maidservant behind her carefully brought up a cup of tea, "This tea has a strong taste, first bitter and then sweet, somewhat similar to bitter, husband might as well taste it." ”

Ye Yingwu was stunned for a moment, took a sip after putting down the pen, and nodded with a smile: "Wan Niang bothered." ”

This Pu tea is nothing else, it is the famous "Pu'er" in later generations, but now it is only a little famous in Dali, if it is not as a tribute to Dali to be offered into the palace, Ye Yingwu would not be able to taste it in the market.

At this time, Pu'er tea was still called "Pu'er", and the taste was not as mellow as Ye Yingwu's impression seven hundred years later, but after all, gold always shines.

Historically, with the prevalence of literary style in the Song and Ming dynasties, literati and artists began to look for suitable tea leaves to set off their poetic demeanor, and all kinds of fine teas were found, such as Longjing tea, black tea and Pu'er tea from all over the world.

And in the time and space where Ye Yingwu is located, the Yuan Dynasty can no longer exist, although the transition between the Song and Ming dynasties was bumpy, but it was finally completed, so this style of drinking tea became more and more prosperous, and local officials also heard that His Majesty likes to drink tea, so they will naturally pay attention to collecting tea for tribute.

Ye Yingwu just laughed at this, not only because the successive appearance of these famous teas in later generations allowed Ye Yingwu to feast, but also because these practices of local officials are understandable, and the popularity of folk tea drinking can not only drive the reclamation of barren mountains, but also prove to a certain extent that the current social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty has transitioned from the pursuit of food and clothing to the pursuit of spirituality, which is also what Ye Yingwu wants to see. After all, his efforts over the years are not just for one or two people to enjoy this kind of life, but for all the people of the entire Ming Dynasty to enjoy this kind of life.

"How does the husband feel?" Wan Niang asked softly as she walked over to help Ye Yingwu gently knead her shoulders.

Ye Yingwu nodded and held her hand: "Of course Wan Niang chose the best." And Ah Wanniang, you are pregnant now, don't do this kind of thing personally, you massage is distressing. ”

"You," Lu Wanyan sneered, "The concubine is afraid that if she continues like this, she will be spoiled by her husband." ”

"What if you get used to it," Ye Yingwu smiled disappreciatively, "Who dares to have an opinion?" What's more, if a certain Wanniang is spoiled like this, then it is not Wanniang. ”

Lu Wanyan leaned over and said mysteriously: "Then please tell the concubine, is it that so many sisters in the harem are all dizzy by your rhetoric and clever words, so they have been deceived for no reason?" ”

Ye Yingwu suddenly spread his hands aggrievedly: "They obviously saw a certain jade tree in the wind and showed talents, so they fell in love with them, as the master of the harem, you can't slander a certain person like this." ”

With a coquettish laugh, Lu Wanyan was about to stand up straight, but unexpectedly, Ye Yingwu grabbed her with one hand, Wanniang let out a low cry and sat in Ye Yingwu's arms. Ye Yingwu chuckled and said: "Actually, you are all snatched by someone, if you don't agree, you will serve the family law." ”

"Scoundrel!" Lu Wanyan said angrily, "You are lighter, and there are children." ”

Ye Yingwu hurriedly supported Lu Wanyan, stretched out his hand and paused on her lower abdomen: "Last time I gave birth to a baby son, can I make a cute little princess for someone this time?" ”

"Who knows!" Although the maidservants have retreated with interest, after all, this is the imperial study, so two blush will inevitably rise on Wan Niangqiao's face.

Knowing that even if this girl had given birth, her face was still thin, Ye Yingwu didn't tease her any more, helped Wanniang to sit down, and said with some doubts: "I haven't asked yet, what is the big deal of the labor queen?" ”

Lu Wanyan said with a smile: "I heard that you and Wen Songrui are discussing the compilation of a compilation of ancient and modern books, and the concubine thinks why not let the concubines and sisters in the harem all contribute, and even the family members of the officials in the court, otherwise everyone will have nothing to do in the back house, but it is better to do their best." They are all people who are coarse in writing, and even if there is no way to fix some gaps, they still have the ability to classify and organize books."

Ye Yingwu glanced at Lu Wanyan with some surprise, and his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table, I have to say that this is indeed a choice worth considering, first, so that these concubines in the harem will not be jealous every day, and second, they can also take advantage of this opportunity

Let the harem concubines and the wives and concubines of the princes and generals in the court be more familiar and contact the feelings. Sometimes the role of "pillow wind" is still very good, especially now that Ye Yingwu really urgently needs the full support of the ministers in the court.

What's more, as Lu Wanyan said, whether it is the concubines in the harem or the family members of those generals, after all, they all came from the prosperous era of the former Song Dynasty, the tutors are very good, and they can be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

After all, there are really not many available manpower around Ye Yingwu now, the war between the north and the south has taken away Ye Yingwu's last reserve personnel in the capital, and even many bachelors from the Academy and the Hanlin Academy have been transferred to the south, temporarily as government officials to help receive new land or coordinate the dispatch of grain and many other affairs.

So now that Lu Wanyan has come up with such a strategy, it can definitely be said that it is a relief for Ye Yingwu, after all, since Ye Yingwu has already promised Wen Tianxiang, or promised the world's scholars, then this matter of compiling books cannot continue to drag on - Ye Yingwu's procrastination in the imperial examination has already caused great dissatisfaction, and if he does it again, I am afraid it will backfire.

"Wan Niang, thank you." Ye Yingwu nodded solemnly.

Lu Wanyan shook her head: "If you want to thank you, you should go and thank the two girls, Hui Niang and Shu'er, the concubine just came to pass on a word, in fact, this idea was thought up by the two of them goblins." ”

Stunned for a moment, the corners of Ye Yingwu's mouth twitched, of course she understood the thoughts of these two girls, if such a thing bypassed the queen and told Ye Yingwu directly, it would be more or less likely to cause a lot of discussions, and more importantly, it was likely to lead to Lu Wanyan's dissatisfaction, and it would not be easy for the two of them to deal with themselves in the harem at that time, so they simply gave this credit to Lu Wanyan, but neither of them thought that Lu Wanyan did not want to swallow this credit in one bite.

Having said that, in fact, Ye Yingwu can more or less guess who is behind this to give Lu Wanyan advice, after all, today's news is actually known by Wen Tianxiang and several concubines who followed Ye Yingwu, and Ye Yingwu believes that even if Gesang knows, he just laughed at it, this little girl has never liked to "cause trouble", at most she is only interested in things related to the one acre and three points of land in Tubo. So it must have been Zhao Yunshu and Wang Qinghui discussing the "instigation" behind their backs.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Lu Wanyan watched Ye Yingwu fall silent, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "This idea has also been carefully pondered by the concubine body just now, and I think it is quite feasible." ”

"Wan Niang, thank you too," Ye Yingwu immediately smiled, "Actually, you don't need to tell someone who came up with this." ”

Lu Wanyan couldn't help but pout: "Even if the concubine tells her husband, what can she do, the concubine believes that the husband will not snub the concubine because of this, but will praise the concubine's broad-mindedness." What's more, the reason why Shu'er and Hui Niang's two sisters behaved like this was also because they were afraid that the concubine would be jealous, not because they were afraid of how the husband would punish them if they made a mistake. ”

"Your mind is indeed getting wider and wider," Ye Yingwu's focus was obviously not here, but he just tilted down with a smile.

Lu Wanyan snorted lightly and stuck it directly: "Don't mess around!" ”

Ye Yingwu suddenly smiled, raised his hand and surrendered, there is no way, my wife has a child in her belly, so she is the biggest.

"Husband, you!" Lu Wanyan looked at Ye Yingwu with a flattering smile on his face a little helplessly, this guy really didn't have the majesty that the Ming Emperor should have, "Forget it, the concubine doesn't care about her husband." ”

Thinking of something, Lu Wanyan tidied up her clothes and sat next to Ye Yingwu: "There is one more thing, isn't the husband planning to find a young master and a companion for Han'er, I don't know if there is a suitable candidate in my husband's heart now?" ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "My son, of course, can't deal with things hastily, and more importantly, I don't want to hand over the country to an incompetent person, so a good Ming may have to 'die'." ”

Lu Wanyan originally wanted to scold him, but when he saw Ye Yingwu's solemn expression, he immediately understood that Ye Yingwu was definitely not alarmist here, he had his own worries.

The current Daming does seem to be in full swing, but both Ye Yingwu and Lu Wanyan understand that the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor in the world is not so easy to sit firmly, especially for the current Daming, there are enemies in the north and south, and there are also people with bad intentions in the government and the opposition, and the burden on Ye Yingwu's shoulders is actually not easy at all.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and sometimes the family has its difficulties. Ye Yingwu's rise over the years has been too fast and the starting point is too high, which naturally has its drawbacks, and now Ye Yingwu is also anxious because of these gradually revealed drawbacks, but at least everything is under his control.

Ye Yingwu looked at Lu Wanyan, who had a panicked and worried look on his face, and couldn't help but smile and said: "But Wanniang, you don't have to be so nervous, the tiger father has no dog, my son can't help but learn and don't know, at least I will teach him the ability to sit in the world." As for the candidates for the young master and the companion, it seems that it is best to choose from the younger people, this young master may wish to set up two, one is responsible for the text, and the other is in charge of the martial arts, and there are many good candidates in front of him. ”

Lu Wanyan pondered what Ye Yingwu said, and nodded: "Although it is to be selected from among the young people, the young master who teaches literature still has to be selected from the older generation." In this way, there are indeed many choices for the husband, whether it is the three old ministers of the Jiang family, or the two old ministers of the Zhang family or the Wang family, as well as the old ministers of Chen before the ministry, all of them are highly respected and rich people, and they are all good candidates・・・・・・

"No, these old ministers have already returned to their hometowns, if they work for them, it will be a little inappropriate, in fact, there is a good person," Ye Yingwu said with a smile, "Allow a certain person to buy a pass here, you can guess it yourself." ”

Lu Wanyan stopped talking, and Ye Yingwu made a gesture that reassured him: "Wanniang, you can rest assured, it is impossible to murder our children, Ye Yingwu's son, the successor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, should naturally be both civil and military, and cannot be empty in the hands of a deep woman, and her daughter can lower her requirements, but these boys must have enough experience, otherwise in this world, can they sit firmly?" ”
