The fourth year of Dewu, February 18, 1866.

A large fleet is slowly sailing into the deep-water port in the hinterland of Xinjin.

The winding but wide and deep channel and the forts dotted on both sides seem to swear that this military port will never fall.

It has been half a year since he left Fengdu, and Zhu Fugui is now finally in vain what it means to return to his heart like an arrow.

Although theoretically speaking, Yandang is his real hometown, Zhu Fugui's memory of there is already very vague.

Since crossing three years ago, he has struggled in this land, starting from a tribal son-in-law, and laying a large territory bit by bit.

Scenes of the past flashed in his mind, making the rich and noble son who had always been heartless also show a sense of amazement on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's cold ......"

Xiaolan brought a tweed coat and gently draped it over him.

Those watery eyes were full of the shadow of this man's tall and handsome.

Then, naturally, Xiao Lan snuggled up to his back.

Zhu Fugui turned his head, gently held her hand, and stuffed it into his arms.

I...... Just made a mistake that all men in the world make......

In the past, Zhu Fugui didn't attack Brother Long with a keyboard, and the result was ......

Don't say anything, big brother is right!

Zhu Fugui stretched out his hand and pinched her cold red nose, and said, "During these days, I am thanks to you to take care of my life...... Lan, when we go back, let's make up for the wedding, Mao Shaobao must have agreed. ”

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide......"

Mao Lilan's voice was like a mosquito, and a pair of plain white hands unconsciously pinched Zhu Fugui's waist because of joy and nervousness.

Zhu Fugui bared his teeth and said, "But you have to remember that you will always be Su Su's sister, insurmountable, you know?" ”

Mao Lilan nodded lightly and said: "It was my sister who encouraged me, and now I can always be with the king's arms, and I can't thank her too late, how can I think about it?" ”

……

The matter with Mao Lilan is a matter of course, and Zhu Fugui, as a manly husband, has nothing to twist.

Originally, she was a jasper-like woman, and she was included in the harem, doing housekeeping, sweeping the house, repairing faucets, and installing light bulbs, which was also excellent.

Yin Susu Naniu guns all day long, or she just walks around with a cougar, she really can't do such a thing.

So much so that Zhu Fugui often felt that something was missing in his wealthy palace.

It is likely that Yin Susu himself also has such an awareness, so he will encourage Mao Lilan to serve the Son of Heaven.

It's not in vain that Zhu Fugui has prepared so many Qiong Yao for her.

It's a pity that Julie has always been reluctant to enter the palace, but to handle foreign trade for Zhu Fugui's internal funds.

Julie once wore a little elk at Christmas, lying on her stomach on the Bible, and said that she hoped that Zhu Fugui would marry her home in the most glorious way.

This capitalist lady is the one who loves to play with little bourgeois.

I don't know when and what month can make Victoria dance, Napoleon II to play the piano, and the tsar and his little daughters to babble and sing a Suzhou song, such a wedding should be glorious enough, right?

Shaking his head, Zhu Fugui threw away such a fantastical idea, but somehow, a little girl with a runny nose, missing two front teeth, and crying for a long time after being snatched of sugar pills appeared in her mind.

Li Banban said that he still has a baby kiss on the shore of West Lake.

If you talk about it, that is the real first lady of Daming.

It's a pity that Zhu Fugui asked people to go to investigate, and Master Zhixin and that little girl are no longer in the Jingci Ancient Temple.

It is said that he went to join the army.

In these years, the city of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang has changed the king's banner so quickly, I really don't know that the fat monk voted for the army.

Whether it is Huang Jinwen or Zuo Zongtang, or whether it is the Hunan army, the Huai army, or even the twist army, it is unknown.

People in troubled times are like this, and it is really difficult to verify that a fat monk and a little nun died.

As for why Zhu Fugui thinks that the little girl later became a nun......

Isn't this nonsense?

The monk's daughter is of course a nun!

Isn't that the case with non-precept monks and Yilin?

Speaking of which, the eldest princess of her old uncle Chongzhen seems to have also become a nun, and it seems that our old Zhu family and nuns have an indissoluble bond!

In the midst of his thoughts, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge military dock appeared in front of Zhu Fugui.

Qi Wenchang didn't know when he was already standing behind him, he bowed down and said, "Great Shuai, the victory reading ceremony after landing has been prepared!" ”

Zhu Fugui nodded: "Implement it as planned!" ”

……

Miyazaki didn't expect to be so lucky.

Because of his young age and the fact that he was a Japanese man who had made meritorious contributions in the war, he actually won the honor of offering flowers to the saint Son of Heaven.

Another flower girl who offered flowers was a representative of Westerners, Ivana, who had just turned ten years old.

Early this morning, Miyazaki Ma and his two new roommates, Sha Jingfang and Shi Dingzhong, were waiting on the dock of Tianjin Port.

And Ivana said disgustedly: "I'm going to kiss Banzai on the cheek in a while, you have to stay away, don't get in the way!" ”

Where has Miyazaki Ma seen a foreign girl, he instinctively wants to admit it.

But after thinking about it, he is already a Ming person, what foreigners are he afraid of?

And I have caught 20 foreign devils with my own hands!

"Little ghost woman, you are so spiritless, do you still want to kiss the long-lived master? You dare to shout out your heart......"

"Hey, hey, you're quiet......"

Ivana hurriedly covered Miyazaki's mouth with Li Fuming's hand, this little Japan is really cunning and cunning!

actually threatened himself by taking advantage of his weakness of being too innocent and not daring to confess to Lord Banzai.

But then again, maturity is too long, and I still have six years to become an adult!

Ivana stomped her foot in chagrin.

That's right, the legal age of majority in Daming is now 16 years old.

And the age of marriage and childbearing advocated by the imperial court is also 16 years old.

To be honest, this age is a little younger.

However, in combination with the times, it is still relatively progressive.

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights has recommended that the age of marriage should not be lower than 15 years, but many places in India, Africa, and the Middle East are far from meeting this standard.

Even, in order to encourage childbearing, Russia did not meet the target.

Russian girls can get married and have children at the age of 14, and of course, there are very few hairy girls who actually do this.

For example, before 2018, girls in Japan could get married and have children at the age of 16, but they were considered adults at the age of 20.

Of course, Daming's current national policy should also encourage childbirth, and at the same time increase investment in medical security for eugenics.

In fact, it is not uncommon for women who have emigrated from the Far East, whether Chinese or Japanese, to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

At that age, not to mention how sure you are, or how much ability you have to entrust your life to the right person, even giving birth is no less than breaking through the ghost gate, which is very dangerous.

However, if it is set at the age of 20 for women and 22 for men to get married, as was the case in later generations, it is too far out of reality and is not conducive to rapid population growth.

This era is the best era for all races and ethnic groups to demarcate their spheres of influence, and the Ming Dynasty must have needed a sufficient population to fill the new continent, which is still very sparse today.

Therefore, 16 years old is a reasonable age to weigh.

And His Majesty Zhu Fugui himself also lost his virginity when he was 16 years old.
