As the old saying goes, there must be demons when things are abnormal.

When Zhu Jian saw a young and beautiful female officer wearing a neat new military uniform coming in with tea, he finally knew where the demon was.

"Xing Yuan has seen the emperor." The beautiful female officer put down the tea, straightened her chest and saluted, her pretty face looked a little nervous, but more excited and excited.

"Flat ......" Zhu Jian waved his hand, looking at Xing Yuan curiously, his silhouette was like the ups and downs of Chuanyue, his facial features were delicate and beautiful, his skin was as crystal clear as jade, and he was dignified and delicate with a bit of swaying softness.

There are many young and beautiful palace maids in the palace, although they dare not say that they are sinking into the fish and falling geese, and they are all beautiful women who are one in ten thousand, like Lu Hongniang and Tian Guifei are the best beauties at the level of the country and the city, Zhu Jian thought that he had seen too many big beauties of this level, and he already had a certain immunity to beauties, and he had no alternative hobbies such as voice control, uniform control, and leg control, but when he saw Xing Yuan at this moment, the idiom "disaster to the country and the people" suddenly collapsed in his mind.

What is a perfect woman, Xing Yuan is the best interpretation, if you have to pick a bone in the egg, it is too young, it is estimated that she is fifteen or sixteen years old, of course, in Daming, a fourteen-year-old girl can already marry and have children, and after the age of twenty, she will be an old girl, this is the problem of the times.

Well, the name Xing Yuan feels a little familiar...... It seems to ...... Where do you seem to have heard of it?

"Father-in-law, Sister Xing Yuan is the best in our boy camp." Yan Tienan said coquettishly, and told Zhu Jian about Xing Yuan's excellence with a smug face.

Bing Xue is smart, dignified and decent, good-tempered, empathetic, talented, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is diligent and inquisitive, everything is learned, and has learned etiquette, nursing, secretarial, kneading and massage, tea ceremony and cooking, etc., everything is so good that the gentleman who taught the profession sighs and admires, or your father-in-law Your die-hard fan, etc., in short, it is all advantages, so that Zhu Jian once gave birth to this girl is helping his little girlfriend Xing Yuan said that the matchmaker is general.

Yan Tienan is not a braggart, what she said is true, and she arranged for her to study these subjects in order to fulfill Xing Yuan's dream, and Xing Yuan did work hard for this dream, and learned all the subjects that should be studied to be excellent, so that the teachers who taught the class admired her.

This Nizi is so desperately promoting Xing Yuan, could it be...... Be......

Zhu Jian's gaze slipped around the faces of Empress Zhou, Empress Yi'an, and Concubine Tian, and the three daughters all had meaningful smiles on their faces, as if it was really the case.

"This girl is dignified, gentle and generous, and empathetic."

"I have also learned nursing, secretarial and other knowledge, which can help His Majesty share a little daily work."

"If Your Majesty is bored, you can listen to music or something, Sister Xing Yuan's piano skills are extremely high, she dances well, her voice is very good, she sings well, and she is very good at serving people."

Empress Yi'an took the lead, Empress Zhou answered, Tian Guifei finished, you said, I said, repeating Xing Yuan's advantages again, the meaning is obvious, such an excellent girl is very suitable for His Majesty to enter the harem.

"This Nizi also has a stage name, hehe." Tian Guifei said with a smile, even if she had a little vinegar in her heart, but Queen Zhou didn't eat it, on the contrary, she also had the intention of instigating, plus Queen Yi'an's support, this matter is already a matter of nailing the board, and it is useless for her to object, it is better to be happy to show favor generously, not only to please the Son of Heaven, but also to the favor of the two queens, but also to Xing Yuan, the future sister.

"Father-in-law, Sister Yuan's stage name is Chen Yuanyuan." Tang Tiantian on the side answered.

Porphyry ......

Zhu Jian already understood what the women meant, but in front of Yan Tienan, Tang Tiantian and Xing Yuan, he was a little embarrassed, so he had to pretend to drink tea.

Can he not be startled, he felt that Xing Yuan's name was a little familiar before, but he couldn't remember it in a hurry, and when he heard the name Chen Yuanyuan again, he instantly understood that this was the best beauty Chen Yuanyuan, who was famous in Ming Wei and let the Jin army enter the customs in a fit of anger, and he was really frightened.

It seems that under the effect of his wings, the trajectory of history has not all changed, and Chen Yuanyuan's fate has changed, but in the end he still entered the palace and stood in front of him.

"Eunuchs are not as careful as women, besides, if you go to Liaodong, you also need someone to take care of you, so stay here." Queen Zhou said, you don't want to ask you to give birth to more dragons, and now this lovely person should be satisfied.

"I still have a ...... to review" Zhu Jian, who was very embarrassed, only made an excuse to slip away, three women in one play, not to mention six, he really couldn't bear it, so it was better to run away as soon as possible.

The women covered their mouths and laughed lowly, without squeaking, it was tantamount to acquiescence, Xing Yuanzhen lowered his head, and his pretty face was full of shy red clouds.

Two days later, under the escort of the Royal Guards, Zhu Jian set off to inspect the Nine Frontier Defense Line in Liaodong, which was only one of them, and visiting relatives was the main purpose.

Lu Hongniang fought in the foreign army for several years, during which she only returned to Beijing twice, Zhu Jian missed it very much, and when she took advantage of the imperial riot army and started the big training, she hurried to Liaodong to visit relatives.

Although the team is vast, everything is simple, the honor guard is completely exempt, the palace maids and eunuchs only brought a few, plus the personal female secretary Xing Yuan, and the others are dragon and tiger close guards, inner court guards, royal guards, some coachmen in charge of the carriage, and no one else has been brought.

After the team arrived at Shanhaiguan, the first snow of winter fell one after another, which also meant that Zhu Jian would stay in Shanhaiguan all winter.

Hearing that the Son of Heaven was coming, Lu Hongniang was very surprised, and asked her soldiers to clean up the barracks and prepare enough food and grass and all kinds of cold materials, in fact, after the imperial riot, the entire Liaodong defense line was a barracks, the military flag fluttered like a sea, there were soldiers everywhere, and the slogan of training shook the sky.

As the commander-in-chief of the Ming Imperial Army, Hong Chengchou still sits in Liaodong, and his headquarters is located in Jinzhou.

It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, Zhu Jian and Lu Hongniang have been separated for too long, there are a lot of intimate words to say, there are a lot of embarrassing romantic things to do, Lu Hongniang gave herself a few days off, and accompanied the Son of Heaven to huddle in the warm and spring-like temporary palace to talk about life ideals.

"Take a few days off ......"

Zhu Jian, like all men, didn't want to admit that he couldn't do it, but he was so tossed that his hands and feet were weak, his waist was sore, and he had to support the wall when he walked, so he had to admit that he couldn't eat and hung up the war-free card.

The cold wind howled and the snow was falling, but all the recruit divisions were in full swing training, and they had about two years to complete all the military training and form combat effectiveness, after which they would be put into the battlefield and start a long campaign.

A cold winter is very long for many people, but for Zhu Jian and Lu Hongniang, it passed almost in the blink of an eye, and the spring blossomed, and Zhu Jian embarked on the journey back to Beijing under the escort of the Royal Guards.

What surprised Zhu Jian was that he "encountered" Guan Ruozhi on the way back to Beijing, well, he knew that Guan Ruozhi was deliberately waiting on the road, anyway, the two of them were familiar with rolling the sheets, and after the "chance encounter", it was naturally a dry firewood, and the fluffy one was burning, and the two were romantic all the way, Guan Ruozhi only parted when she was close to Beijing, and happily returned to Shanxi to preside over her big business and earn more silver for Zhu Jian.

After the spring, the Jin Empire as in previous years, gathered tribal warriors to commit the border, Liaodong Jiubian has now stationed a large number of troops, although most of them are new recruits, have not yet been on the battlefield of the new soldiers, but there are long-standing veterans under the command, there are experienced grass-roots officers and veterans to lead, with the old with the new, the new and the old combined, resist the Jin army's siege, but also get actual combat exercises, progress is extremely fast.

The Jin army was unable to conquer for a long time, suffered heavy casualties, and was exhausted, and Huang Taiji had no choice but to order the retreat, pulling his hair and thinking about the way out in the future.

During this period, a large amount of military supplies were transported to Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other important towns for accumulation. On the sea, the sails are lined up, and the large ships full of military supplies and soldiers are escorted by warships to Phi Island, which is not only full of military supplies, but also full of soldiers, and the strategic plan for the decisive battle with the Jin Empire in the coming year is being carried out in an orderly manner.

In the late spring and early summer of the second year, Huang Taiji led the army to commit the border again, Hong Chengchou still relied on the strong city to fight a defensive battle, let the troops take turns to fight, and continued to carry out actual combat training, Huang Taiji lost his troops and lost his generals, and his morale was low, so he had no choice but to retreat, and it is said that he sprayed several mouthfuls of blood when he withdrew.

Some small and medium-sized tribes who were originally forced to surrender by the Jin Empire's soldiers secretly sent people to contact the Ming court and express their willingness to submit, and Zhu Jian appeased them.

During this period, the Japanese Empire crossed the sea to invade the Xian Empire, although the Xian army rose up to resist, but the five scum of the battle, was violently beaten by the Japanese army, and the Hanyang Wangcheng was in danger, and the lord of Li had to send someone to the Ming Dynasty for help.

Li Xin and Gao Jie were ordered to lead ten divisions to reinforce the Xian Empire, first extorted a large sum of money from Li Guozhu, and then led the army to beat the landed Japanese troops all over the ground and fled in panic, while the 1st and 2nd fleets of the Fujian Navy Division attacked the Japanese Imperial Navy Division at sea, sinking and damaging more than 50 Japanese warships, and the land and water armies won a complete victory, capturing more than 30,000 enemies, all of whom were escorted back to China to serve as free miners.

For two consecutive years, the wind and rain were smooth, the crops were harvested, the people's hard life was getting better day by day, and a large amount of military supplies had been accumulated in the major towns and Phi Dao in eastern Liaodong, and the momentum of the war had accumulated enough.

In the late spring and early summer of the following year, Huang Taiji once again led the army to commit the border, and Hong Chengchou, who had been scolded for many years for shrinking his head and the old turtle, was unusual, led the army out of the pass, and fought a decisive battle in the field with the strength of 20 divisions and the main force of Huang Taiji.

In the direction of Phi Dao, Lu Hongniang was the commander, Cao Bianjiao, Gao Jie and others were the deputies, with the assistance of the Liaodong Naval Division, crossed the sea and landed, directly attacking the hinterland of the Jin Empire, and the Liaodong Naval Division crossed back and forth on the sea, transporting the strength of 20 divisions and countless military supplies ashore.

In the Horqin grassland, Li Xin led ten infantry divisions, and two cavalry divisions of Man Gui went out to fight, and those small and medium-sized tribes who secretly returned to obedience designed to kill Amin, and cooperated with Li Xin to attack the Jin army from behind, and the Jin army was defeated.

The three-way army advanced at the same time, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, defeated several Jin troops, and met under the Shengjing City, Huang Taiji led the remnants to defend the city, the Ming army bombarded the city with artillery, dug tunnels and buried explosives, blew up the city wall, the army killed into the city, Huang Taiji, Yue Tuo and others died in battle, the rest surrendered, and Jin died.

After destroying the number one mortal enemy, the Jin Empire, Zhu Jian not only did not reduce the army, but on the contrary, he once again violently attacked the Xian Empire with 50 infantry divisions, and in the spring of the following year, under some pretext, Li Xintong led ten infantry divisions and two artillery divisions to destroy the Xian Empire in more than a month, and formed five miscellaneous divisions dominated by the Guanwai clans and Xian people.

In August of the same year, the sea was full of sails, and the transport ships full of soldiers and military supplies sailed densely into the distance under the escort of new warships mainly powered by steam, and several fleets of the Ming Empire shuttled back and forth, successively transporting 100 infantry divisions, 10 artillery divisions and countless military supplies to the designated place.

On the flagship of Wei Yuanqing, commander of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy, Yan Tienan, Tang Tiantian, and Zheng Fusong held binoculars to observe, and they could not hide the excitement in their hearts.
