Chapter 435: Marriage

Looking at the gate tower of the West Gate was Zhao Songjie, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Qinwang Army.

The reason why he looked at the gatehouse was because Chu Fan met Qin Wangjun several times, all of which were above this west gate; Now he only dimly saw a shadow in the gatehouse, but he didn't know if it was Chu Fan himself.

Zhao Songjie, who had long been appointed by Zhu Chunchen as the commander of the cavalry battalion, of course participated in that dream-like battle - a battle of 10,000 people.

After the battle, all the participating teams on the side of the Fuliao Army lost a total of nine people - these unlucky people either died by friendly mistake, or accidentally fell off their horses and broke their necks during the pursuit, and none of them died under the swords and guns of the Koreans; However, many of the dozens of wounded were injured by the recalcitrant North Koreans in the course of the pursuit.

This is the first time that Zhao Songjie has gone to the battlefield with real knives and guns, and it is precisely because of this that he will be doubly shocked by Chu Fan's clever calculation - in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, the Korean conquest army is like arranging troops according to the place Chu Fan has demarcated for them, and it has been stupidly blown into a pile of minced meat.

He had heard some rumors and knew that the Fuliao army had dug huge fortifications underground beforehand, and in the eyes of those who didn't know what was going on at all, for example, the people of the series of settlements on the east coast, Chu Fan had simply been deified into an immortal who could summon underground fire dragons!

After the shock returned to calm, Zhao Songjie began to think about his future - as a descendant of the Song people, he would certainly prefer to join the Fuliao army in a dignified manner like his two sons; For this reason, he did not look for Zhu Chunchen and Zhu Dujian who always looked like a hanger, but every time he was fooled by the latter for various reasons.

As a result, he did not succeed, but waited for a number of old brothers who were also herdsmen and slaves, as well as some veterans of the Fuliao army who could speak some Korean - they were enriched into the Qinwang army as middle and lower-level officers.

This made Zhao Songjie dispel the idea of leaving-just as Ma Mingteng, the captain of the propaganda team of Qin Wangjun, said, everyone is a family and a house, and now that they have divided the house and the land, they no longer have to worry about their wives and children starving and cold, and seeing that the days are getting better day by day, they should touch their conscience and ask themselves, who gave all this? Chu Fan Chu Gongzi!

Now that Gongzi is worried that these Koreans will turn around and deal with the Fuliao army, shouldn't everyone help him watch a little? You have to be a conscience!

Besides, the son didn't let everyone help in vain, and the monthly salary was always paid on time and in full, so how could he have lost a penny? Take him Zhao Songjie, the commander of the cavalry battalion, for example, the salary of 15 taels of silver a month is not much less than that of the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Fuliao Army.

Moreover, what kind of equity do these officers above the middle rank have, that is, they can subscribe for the shares of one hundred taels of silver per share of the East India Company; Zhao Songjie didn't understand what kind of shares were not shares, but he had heard people say that with this share, he could divide the silver every year without doing anything.

With so many benefits, Zhao Songjie is ready to work hard in the Qinwang army, but there is something that has bothered him a lot recently, that is, the marriage of his children.

Before the war, Zhao Songjie moved his family to Zhongdali and asked someone to build a two-story building; Now that the battle is over, the island is completely safe, and he can rest assured that he will be able to discuss the marriage of his children.

It turned out that when he was a slave of the Liu family, the two sons were the most troublesome for him - he couldn't even get the minimum dowry, who would marry the girl to his family?

Now it's good, the dowry has not been a problem for a long time, and more importantly, one of the two boys is the deputy cavalry company commander of the Fuliao Army and the other is the platoon commander of the third battalion, and the people who come to propose his relatives are about to step on the threshold of his house - this big battle is fought, and no matter how blind people are, they can see who has the final say on Jeju Island in the future, so those squires who originally rode the wall all turned upside down at once, and spent their days in Yingzhou City drilling to find a way, trying their best to send their girl's Geng Ti to the front of officers at all levels of the Fuliao Army.

Not only these big squires, but also the Hokkien people on the other side of Myeongsu-dong, the original gentry in Jeju City, and the exiled officials who regained their freedom were doing the same thing—marriage was the best means of tying up interests and forming alliances in any era; Therefore, during this period of time, Yingzhou City was really lively, and almost every day there were a huge team of dowry gifts blowing out of the city and going to all parts of Shannan and Shanbei.

Zhao Songjie also set a family affair for the eldest son, the other party is a small landlord in Shangxiaoli in the south, the eldest daughter of the family is 15 years old, Zhao Bonian felt very satisfied after going to see it, so he decided to get married on an auspicious day of the zodiac three months later; The eldest son is over, but the younger son is not so smooth, the left and right choices are not satisfactory, and his mother is so anxious that she jumps to her feet, but there is no way to take him.

There is also his daughter Xiaozhu who also makes him feel uneasy, the little girl is thirteen this year, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage; It is said that her daughter is the top meat of her father's heart, and of course Zhao Songjie would like to find someone who knows her roots, so that Xiaozhu can live a comfortable life in the future; If you want to know the roots, of course, there are only those old brothers who are also descendants of the Song people, Zhao Songjie compared them repeatedly, and he took two of them to heart when they were also in the Fuliao army.

But when she went home and told Xiaozhu, this girl refused without thinking about it, which made Zhao Songjie wonder - the two descendants said that Xiaozhu had seen it, and he had herded sheep together when he was a child, so he didn't understand why Xiaozhu didn't look down on others?

In the end, under the repeated questioning of Zhao Songjie's wife, Xiaozhu confided in her heart, it turned out that the little girl already had someone in her heart, but when her wife said this person's name, Zhao Songjie was scared.

No one could have imagined that the Ruyi Langjun in Xiaozhu's mind was actually the Ling Ming who was bitten by her!

Who is Ling Ming? That's Chu Fan Chu Gongzi's number one secret agent!

If the work of the Secret Service in North Korea was not obvious, but the last pre-war raid made everyone get to know this mysterious and eerie department up close, which was elusive, ruthless, and powerful, and chilling.

Of course, this is said in two ways, it is precisely because of Ling Ming's high position and power, if he can really catch such a golden beetle son-in-law, Zhao Songjie certainly understands what it means to Xiaozhu to his Zhao family - as for Ling Ming is already in his thirties, it has never been a problem, I have not seen the envoy of Jeju City who surrendered to Nacheng, in order to save his life, he sacrificed his 12-year-old daughter-in-law, and rushed to Commander Ge Biaoge, who was a water master, and he was also a concubine! You know, Commander Ge will be fifty next year!

Thinking of this, Zhao Songjie's heart moved: Perhaps, he should test it and see what Ling Ming meant?

But the question is, how do you tempt it?

In the midst of a deep groan, Zhao Songjie couldn't help but cast his eyes on the West Gate Gate Tower again. (To be continued.) )
