Chapter 173: The Problem of Descendants

The weather gradually cooled down, and the time came to August 1630, that is, on the day of August in the third year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan was taken to the execution ground on charges of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the execution was delayed. Many people spend money to buy Yuan Chonghuan's meat to eat raw, how much hatred is this?

At this time, no one must have remembered that in the battle under the city of Beijing, Yuan Chonghuan defeated the Houjin army, let alone that only half a month after Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, there was a battle outside Yongding Gate, Man Gui was killed, and the backbone of the Ming army was broken.

Zhu Youzhen, the cabinet, and the courtiers all need someone to be a scapegoat and give the people a channel to vent. So Yuan Chonghuan was convicted for such absurd reasons. Should Yuan Chonghuan be damned? Should! It's really deserved! For the things he did, he should have been killed a long time ago. The problem is that Zhu Youzhen tolerated and even connived at the bastard things he did before.

No wonder, some people cried out for Yuan Chonghuan, Zhang Tingyu used the word "vain killing" in "History of the Ming Dynasty", and Qianlong also "rehabilitated" Yuan Chonghuan in a fake way. Yan Chongnian, a traitor scholar, also said that it was the remnants of the eunuch party who framed the director zhì and was killed, well, let's focus on Yan Chongnian's statement, and his personal evaluation is: next door to you spicy!

The next month after Yuan's death, Qian Longxi was arrested and imprisoned.

The Ming Dynasty was not calm in a year, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Ningxia provinces were full of rogues. These rogues have achieved the prestige of two people, one is Cao Wenzhao and the other is Hong Chengchou.

The last sail on the sea disappeared from sight, and Chen Xie sighed leisurely, this was the last batch of plate armor delivered to the white pole soldiers. Ma Xianglin was waiting in Tianjin to receive the goods. I don't know what Qin Liangyu thinks. Chen Xie repeatedly sent letters to invite her to Dengzhou, but Qin Liangyu replied and politely declined. At the end of May, he returned to Sichuan with a part of the white pole soldiers, leaving Qin Yiming to lead 10,000 troops to garrison the periphery of the Beijing Division.

"Let's go!" Chen Xie turned around and returned to the carriage, and in the sound of Tatata's horses' hooves, countless thoughts turned in Chen Xie's mind, who closed his eyes and recuperated. This year, the situation in Shandong is still good, but the situation in Shaanxi can only be described as bad.

Chen Xie has thought a lot about how to deal with these rogues. Do you want to fight, or let them sweep across the Central Plains? The answer is actually not hard to find. Thieves of this period. They did not have the ability to attack the big cities, and most of the rich gentry would hide in the cities in advance. The thieves crossed the border, and most of them were grass people.

Now the thieves are still in the three northwestern provinces. Chen Xie, the general of the Dengzhou battalion. There is no reason to take the initiative to fight the thieves yet.

All questions. The final solution is still the word "force". Chen Xie calculated his family background, and the regular army had two infantry battalions. Each battalion has five infantry teams, two artillery teams, one baggage team, one engineer team, one grenadier team, and one sanitary team. The regimental training battalion had ten infantry units, two artillery units, and one baggage, engineer, grenadier, and sanitary brigade.

The total strength adds up to more than 7,000 troops, and this force is definitely the most powerful force in the Dengzhou battalion. Governor Sun Yuanhua unexpectedly did not have any doubts about this, but after the weather cooled, he devoted his main energy to the development of red-coated cannons. The ironworks finally produced relatively qualified iron, and after trial and error, Sun Yuanhua built three more cannons, one lighter than the other. To be honest, Chen Xie admires his skills very much, but it is impossible for a cannon of the same caliber to reach the level of Chen Xie's equipment in this time and space. In this regard, Sun Yuanhua did not realize it at all, and was simply happy with the results in front of him, which made Chen Xie speechless.

Winter wheat began to be planted in the field, such an important matter, Sun Yuanhua actually just popped up at the beginning, and then did not make any moves. On the contrary, Zhang Yao and Song Yi, with officials big and small, were running around all day long, busy promoting Chen Xie's high-yield wheat seeds.

In this regard, Chen Xie is happy to see it, and it is best to plant high-yield wheat under the entire Denglai rule, as well as high-yield grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. The seeds brought by Chen Xie are relatively sufficient, which can basically meet the needs of this area. Zhang Yao was not polite at all, and after allowing Chen Xie to leave the seeds to meet his needs, the other seeds were requisitioned, and he didn't give a single tael of silver.

If someone else did this, Chen Xie would have broken his legs. Zhang Yao, forget it, isn't it just a little seed?

The slow-paced life of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie adapted very well. Especially at night, you never have to worry about boredom.

As the carriage passed through the bazaar, Mr. Chen saw Mr. Lee wandering down the streets, the guy he had been scurrying around in recent months. In terms of business, I didn't see him pay much attention. On the Shaanxi side, a hundred war horses were sent twice, and with the sale of Wu Xiang's war horses for plate armor, Chen Xie had saved more than 2,000 war horses in his hands.

Thinking of the war horse, Chen Xie's heart moved slightly, and he asked the carriage to turn in a different direction, in the direction of Longshan, there is a small town called Yangjiadian not far from Longshan, and the nearby land was bought by Chen Xie. Chen Xie's cavalry unit was stationed in the barracks near this town. When Chen Xie arrived, he was just in time for the cavalry to train. In fact, there is no shortage of livestock in Shandong, and there is no shortage of horses and mules, but this place cannot produce qualified war horses. This thing is not something that the people can raise.

As soon as Chen Xie's iconic carriage appeared, the cavalry garrison He Xian discovered it, and immediately ordered to stop training and came with a group of officers to greet him. At the beginning, this set of Chen Xie was also very disgusted, and as time passed, Chen Xie was assimilated by this era. began to enjoy this kind of treatment, and it is naturally related to the news of XX leaders inspecting the news in the TV news of modern society.

There is a reason for putting the cavalry in Yang's shop. This place is less than ten miles away from Zhangjiazhuang, and it takes half a day to go west to Huangxian, and half a day to Dengzhou to the north. Put a cavalry here and you can kill in either direction at any time.

Chen Xie's cavalry equipment can be described as luxurious, with a stab-proof suit with a crotch guard as the basic equipment, chain mail worn inside, an aluminum alloy police explosion-proof shield, a saber, a double-barreled short gun, and a back sagare. These equipment determined the mode of combat, tactics such as frontal cavalry assault, Chen Xie had never considered it. The cavalry was in the hands of Chen Xie, and its role was to pursue. Therefore, one person and two horses are a must, and the treatment of all war horses is much better than that of the people of Daming, and one egg mixed with soybeans a day is a necessary ration.

He Xian was also very attentive, so the cavalry and war horses that Chen Xie saw were very energetic. The cavalry who lined up to greet them formed two columns, sandwiching the road to welcome Master Chen's inspection. By the way, I have to say that this cavalry of 1,000 people is composed of Chen Xie's family, not any soldiers. Looking at these young faces, Chen Xie got out of the car and changed horses, and slowly walked through the queue, each soldier straightened his waist, and when Chen Xie walked over, he put the saber in his hand on his chest.

After the cavalry unit went around and watched the cavalry chopping training, he left satisfied, and it was already dark when he returned to Zhangjiazhuang.

Yuzhu, the big maid, welcomed Chen Xie in with a lantern, and when Chen Xie returned to the master bedroom after bathing, Yuzhu said in a low voice: "Master, the old lady is here today." "The so-called old lady naturally refers to the Zhou family. The old man of the Zhang family, the concubine, followed him back to Ninghai Prefecture to retire.

"Huh? What's the matter with my aunt? Chen Xie asked casually, lay down on the bed, watched Yuzhu close the door, and turned his back to his slender back after taking off his coat. Getting into the quilt, Yuzhu smiled very embarrassedly, and said in a low voice: "Madame asked me and Yuxing, why is there no movement in my stomach at all?" ”

Uh, Chen Xie was defeated by this question, he didn't really have anything, how could he have children?

"Madame also said that we have to hurry up and give birth to a descendant for the Chen family." While speaking, Yuzhu showed an aggrieved expression and whispered in his ear: "The slave family is 17." "The soft body is pressed tightly, like a fire. There was a thing in the Ming Dynasty that was a very jerk, whether there were children or not, and the responsibility was all women's. The reason is very strong, the seeds have all fallen to the ground, and the result is not a woman's problem?

This kind of "simple" logic is undoubtedly very deceitful. Chen Xie, who is studying medicine, knows very well that it is normal for Yuzhu not to be pregnant, but it is not normal to be pregnant. When he was having a headache for this question, his little hand held Xiao Chen warmly, and a soft voice whispered in his ear: "Master, just give the slave family a thought, right?" ”

The sun was all drying his buttocks, so Yuzhu got up from the bed and swaggered in the yard to dry the sheets. The red mark was unusually eye-catching, and it was snorted coldly that caused the rain to be dissatisfied. It is rare for Master Chen to rest at home for a day, and when Yujing came to find him, Chen Xie was already mentally prepared, and said lightly: "I have already arranged it, just because I can't stand the two of you, I don't even have a ceremony." ”

Hearing this, Yuxing's face was full of light, and she came over and whispered, "Master, don't be wronged." Which family takes a concubine, not a small sedan chair carried in from the back door. If you can give food and wine to your family, it is a great kindness. ”

At this time, Yuzhu also came, and I heard it clearly at the door just now, and the tears were falling down. came over and choked up: "Master, the slave family is not wronged. "This can be regarded as a boil out, after all, it was a maid identity before, Chen Xie gave the name, you don't need to comb the maid's hair, and you can put your hair in a bun tonight.

"Let's all go back to their rooms, dress up beautifully. The lord had already arranged it, waiting for the evening to drink the wedding wine. Chen Xie said something, and the two of them went back with happy faces. The problem of future generations, Chen Xie has to face after all. In the Ming Dynasty, this question was really important. When there was no woman he liked as a big house, Chen Xie had to put aside the marriage problem first and solve the problem of the offspring first.

Zhangjiazhuang suddenly became lively, and the descendants of the Chen family were all elated. The old man took a concubine, a double shot, and each subordinate was rewarded with one or two silver, and there was a wedding wine to eat, and it was two meals a day. The butcher in the bazaar brought the slaughtered pigs and sheep, and the house was busy. Chen Xie spoke, and not a single outsider was gone, so the family was happy. (To be continued......)
