Sirou looked at her mother in a daze, bursting into tears; Concubine Chen also looked at her daughter as if she was out of her body, suddenly like a dream. (Like this book, please collect biquge.info) Qingtan walked out of the door, she pushed Sirou's shoulders and pushed her into the room, the moment the door was closed, the mother and daughter in the room hugged their heads and cried.
Qingtan couldn't help but stroke her bulging belly, Concubine Chen's mother and daughter hadn't seen her for several months, she was worried about her stomach and was sad, she really left her blood and blood back to the mountain gate to ask for sin, wouldn't it be pitiful for the baby without a mother?
Meng Yao went and returned, walked to Qingtan's side and stroked her lower abdomen. Meng Yao is eager to have a child, she heard that it is easy to get pregnant if she has more contact with a pregnant woman.
"Qingtan, it's cold, be careful of catching a cold, you go to my room to stay for a while." Meng Yao took Qingtan's hand, "I also want to ask you a few questions." β
"Sister, please speak."
"How did you get pregnant with your baby? Can you tell me some tricks? Meng Yao sighed with some distress.
Meng Yao was really distressed, and originally wanted to "strike while the iron is hot" with her husband until she became pregnant, but just now, she found out that she was in trouble. Meng Yao has seven days of menstrual leave every time, and she doesn't move in the wind and rain, which means that it is impossible to be intimate with Chen Xu in the following days. Seven days, what a long day. Especially thinking of the sense of crisis that Princess Sirou brought her, Meng Yao felt that the past seven days had been even longer.
The two left hand in hand, and then there was a conversation between Concubine Chen and Princess Sirou in the room.
ββ¦β¦ Sirou," Concubine Chen's words seemed a little difficult to speak, and she seemed unwilling to uncover her daughter's scars, "these days when my mother is not by your side. How are you doing? There was a pause. She whispered again, "You're not a little girl anymore. β
After Princess Sirou cried, all she was left was joy, and she said a little innocently, "Mother, my daughter is not a little girl, but an adult." β
"Mother... That's not what my mother is referring to. β
Princess Sirou came to her senses, her face gradually turned red, and she called "Mother" shyly.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Concubine Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her daughter was not forced, it was not difficult for her to guess the identity of that person.
"Mother, my daughter likes to be with him, and she is willing to marry him and give him children." Sirou leaned into her mother's ear and whispered, "The imperial brother has already agreed to marry his daughter. β
When Concubine Chen heard this, the first thing she thought of was Meng Yao, and things seemed to be a little difficult to handle......
Chen Xu and Yang Yunrui, who were lucky enough to "escape", came to the military department, and only after learning about the current situation in the capital did he realize that he was not too optimistic? It's just too unoptimistic and pessimistic: first of all, there are no more than 100,000 soldiers and they are all old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, and pushing them to the battlefield can basically be summed up as meat buns beating dogs - never looking back; Second, the capital lacked war horses, grain and grass. It is rumored that at the beginning, hundreds of people rushed to fight outside the Saiwai, but at this moment, it is absolutely not possible. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, if there is no grain and grass, do not use it first, and Dayan's army will have to rebel first; Third, the soldiers have no will to fight, which is particularly important, if there is no courage and determination to fight to the death, this battle will definitely be defeated.
Yang Yunrui frowned tightly and turned his head to look at Chen Xu. Chen Xu was staring at the military defense map spread out in front of him in a daze.
"Someone!" Chen Xu suddenly shouted.
The Tumubao army was defeated, the people in the capital were panicked, the common people were afraid of death, and the officials were even more afraid of death, and they sought officials for thousands of miles just for money. There is no hope of accumulating money, and they run faster than the common people. Anyway, I've got enough. Take it when you see it.
When he received the news of the defeat of the imperial court, he was excited in his heart and his blood pressure increased, and he decisively followed the footsteps of the emperor and passed away. Si died, and the right attendant should have been prosperous, but he actually had a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox, and he packed up his bed and left the capital decisively.
The leaders have all run away, not to mention the subordinate officials?
The "structure" of the military department was not complete, Chen Xu called again, but no one answered, and he called again, but still no one answered. Yang Yunrui shook his head helplessly, "What are you calling people for?" Support me for the time being. β
"I want pen, ink, paper, inkstone." Looking at Yang Yunrui's expression, Chen Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, why do I think we two officials are so aggrieved." β
Yang Yunrui: "......"
The two rummaged through the cabinets, and there was no pen and ink available in a huge military department.
"Lord Chen, General Yang, what are you looking for?"
Chen Xu turned his head to look at the middle-aged man standing at the door. There is no necessarily proportional relationship between a man's appearance and age, Chen Xu guessed that there would be at least forty or fifty people, but one thing was certain, this person was much older than him.
His name is Wu Ning, his name is Yongqing, and he is currently in the Ministry of War. When Chen Xu looked at Wu Ning, Wu Ning was also looking at him. In fact, he heard Chen Xu when he called "come here" for the first time. Hearing it but not making a sound, Lord Wu was resentful in his heart.
Wu Ning has been transferred from the head of the Arsenal Department to Fang Langzhong thirteen years ago, and has been in charge of the public opinion map of the provinces, the military attachΓ©'s merits, verification, rewards and punishments, pensions and other matters, and he has been diligent and hardworking. He longed for promotion but stayed put. Shang, left and right waiters, dead and fleeing, Wu Ning thought that even if he was a monkey, there was no tiger in the mountain of the military department, and he could be called the king. Even if you can't do it, you have to do it for a waiter?
It's a pity that Lord Wu was disappointed again.
The emperor let a stinky yellow-mouthed boy take charge of the military department, especially this guy relied on "nepotism", which was simply a child's play with the future of the country. The court spoke against it, and the opposition was invalid, and Lord Wu couldn't help but be passive and slack off: Dayan has no hope, so he can leave quickly, and it is better to return to his hometown than to be a slave to the country.
After the early dynasty, Lord Wu had instructed his family to clean up the softness, and he had typed the "resignation letter", and he was upset, and he unconsciously came to the office of the military department.
The emperor appointed Chen Xu as the commander of the military department, as for the left and right attendants, the emperor did not officially appoint, thinking that Chen Xu would recommend him, and Lord Wu wanted to know who the flowers were.
"Is there no one in the military department?"
Wu Ning wrote the disdain in his heart on his face, and Chen Xu raised his eyebrows and asked sarcastically.
"Lord Shang's words are wrong." Wu Ning was even more disdainful. He said pointedly, "I think that when Kuang Laoshang was in charge of the military department, he gave an order, promised a hundred times, and was full of talents." β
"You don't think I deserve to sit in this position?" Chen Xu's smile was still the same, and he asked straight to the point.
"The lower officials don't dare!" Wu Ning said that he didn't dare, and he just arched his hand slightly.
Yang Yunrui stood with his arms crossed, he looked at Wu Ning with some amusement, this Lord Wu has good ability, but when it comes to playing conspiracy. He can't catch up with the third child.
"Third child, I'll borrow the forest trees from them now."
At this moment, Feng Che and Lin Mu walked in one after another.
"Don't worry, I have something to do with Lin Mu." After speaking. Chen Xu made a few gestures at Lin Mu, who nodded and took the order.
"Third child, you let Lin Mu investigate ......"
Feng Che looked at Chen Xu and then at Wu Ning, and he asked with some curiosity. Chen Xu suddenly intercepted his words, "Don't talk nonsense, help me find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone first." After a pause, he looked at Wu Ning again, "Lord Wu, are you interested in delaying a little longer?" There may be unexpected gains later. β
Master Chen said so. Wu will wait and see. β
Finding the four treasures of the study, Chen Xu spread out the rice paper on the case, holding a brush full of thick ink and falling on the paper. Yang Yunrui and the three of them looked intently, Lord Wu thought that Chen Xu was going to write the word "one" at first, but he didn't expect Chen Xu's pen to be very long.
"It's just uncomfortable to draw a table with a brush."
After lifting the pen, Chen Xu looked at the uneven horizontal lines of the rice paper and sighed.
"Third child, what form?"
"You'll find out later."
Chen Xu draws as he speaks, and a two-dimensional table is formed on rice paper. Chen Xu divided the form into several different modules, including manpower preparation, financial situation, weapons procurement, grain storage and transportation, and public opinion propaganda.
"The third. What are you doing here? β
"List all the preparations I have to do, so that there will be no omissions," Chen Xu glanced up, and he added, "There are many factors that affect the success or failure of the war. Any omission of detail may lead to failure. How can I not be cautious when I am in charge of the army for the first time? β
"It's a no-brainer." Feng Che exclaimed, "I think you always have some strange ideas. β
Wu Ning looked at what Chen Xu had written, and the disdain on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of disbelief. Although Chen Xu's characters are ugly, these pieces of paper are very golden, and it seems that this little guy is not useless.
ββ¦ The reserve army of Liangjing and Henan, the reserve army of the coastal areas, the officers and troops of Jiangbei and Beiping provinces transporting grain, and the garrisons of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were urgently transferred to Beijing, and officials were ordered to be sent to Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and other places to recruit soldiers and conduct emergency training to prepare for supplementary ......."
Wu Ning's gaze moved with Chen Xu's handwriting, his expression became more and more solemn, Chen Xu, he was really only seventeen years old? The comprehensiveness of the thinking question is breathtaking, and even he is afraid that he will have to bow down. Wu Ning suddenly understood the emperor's intentions.
"Boss, how many people can there be in the garrisons and the army in the capital?"
Feng Che asked Yang Yunrui, and Yang Yunrui pondered for a moment and said, "It won't be less than 200,000." β
"Third brother, we already have 200,000 people, and we only have tens of thousands of people, and we have enough advantages in troops, why do you still recruit soldiers?"
"There are nine gates in the capital, and 200,000 people guard the nine gates, how many people can there be at each gate? On average, what odds do you think we'll have? β
Feng Che thought for a while, "It's better to defend than to attack, why don't we lead a large army to go on the expedition, annihilate the main force in one fell swoop, and solve the danger of the capital by itself." β
Yang Yunrui replied: "Do you know where the main force of Yexian is? You can't underestimate the mobility of the Warat cavalry, and we'll probably be led by the nose first. Besides, the elite of our army has been lost, and the shape is not unserious. β
Feng Che: "Then what are our chances of winning?" β
Whether it was Chen Xu or Yang Yunrui, no one answered him this question.
An hour later, Lin Mu went and returned, he handed a stack of white paper full of handwriting to Chen Xu, Chen Xu glanced twice, and he handed it to Wu Ning again, "Lord Wu, I think you will be interested." β
Wu Ning took it with some curiosity, and when he saw the first few words, his face changed greatly, and when he turned the first page, his face had turned purple...... To be continued......
