Since the birth of his eldest son, Su Yan has happily stayed in the palace of the king of Chu for several days, teasing the baby who is still in swaddling clothes.

According to the customs of southern Fujian, Dong Yougu sent a pair of eggs to celebrate after Zheng Chagu gave birth to a child, the meaning of eggs is profound, firstly, there is a legend that people are bred from bird eggs, and secondly, hens lay a lot of eggs, and eggs are used to imply breeding, because there is the concept of "more children and more blessings".

There is also a special saying about the number of people to give, the number of eggs to be sent to people should be double, and the even number is more auspicious, but six eggs can not be sent, because the Hokkien language "six" is homophonic with "搚", and "搚" has the meaning of pregnant women having dystocia, pulling the baby down with their hands, then there is a suspicion of cursing people with dystocia.

This is very easy to understand, even in ancient times, even in modern medicine, not developed, pregnant women died of dystocia, so there is a saying to describe: "Don't give birth is worthless, give birth to life on the edge of the foot bucket."

After the baby is born, she also pays attention to it, and after birth, she should be fed the medicinal soup boiled by Coptis chinensis, which means that life is bitter and then sweet, and the stable woman is also a person from Quanzhou, so she also cooked the Coptis medicinal soup according to the customs of the main family and fed it to the child, and Zheng Chagu did not stop it.

Three days after birth, according to the custom to bathe the baby, called "wash three", this is also the worship of water by the ancients, that through water to wash away filth, can make people grow up healthily, the same day in Quanzhou under the advice of Wen Po, Su Yan also prepared a number of dishes to worship the "bed mother".

Su Yan had never heard of these customs when he traveled through his previous life, and after he had a child, he finally knew that there were so many exquisiteness, but he didn't stop doing it because of the cumbersomeness, firstly, these customs are not harmless, and they can also ask for peace of mind if they are done, and secondly, the moral behind it is also what Su Yan hopes to achieve in his child.

Fourteen days after his birth, according to the custom Su Yan ordered the dining room to buy a large number of peanut kernels and sugar to make sugar cakes, and distributed them to a group of relatives and friends, in order to pray for more milk for the mother, to feed the baby, although Su Yan's relatives in Nanjing City only have the Zheng family, but in order to make more people happy, he directly distributed sugar cakes to civil and military officials at the court meeting, in exchange for bursts of praise.

Fourteen days later, the palace began to prepare for the full moon banquet, Su Yan attached great importance to this eldest son, he directly took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from his private treasury to prepare, and at the same time began to think about how to name the eldest son,

It is worth mentioning that the old rule is that the name must not be the same as the predecessor of the clan, and the first word of the name is usually made according to the character line arranged by the family, but because the genealogy of Su Yan's family was burned in the war in the burning and looting of the Qing army long before he crossed, and the characters are nowhere to be found, he can name the children without following the characters.

In order to choose a good name for his eldest son, Su Yan directly used it for public and private purposes, and entrusted the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to find a name with a beautiful meaning for him. _o_m

The scholars all thought that this was an opportunity to climb up, so after receiving the commission, they all worked overtime under the stars and read through the vast ancient books.

A few days later, the Hanlin Academy handed over several names to Su Yan, and Fu Dingquan, who was also a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, said to Su Yan: "Your Highness, since ancient times, there has been a saying that men take Chu Ci and women take poetry scriptures, so the Hanlin Academy has turned over Chu Ci up and down, and selected these names from Chu Ci for you to choose." ”

Su Yan nodded, he carefully examined the names, and listened to Fu Dingquan explain to him the verses from which the names were selected and the meaning behind them.

In the end, Su Yan chose the name Wei Ze.

Wei Ze is taken from "Chu Ci Lisao" in "Fang and Ze are mixed, only Zhao is not lost", its meaning is warm and moist, and I wish to be able to make great progress.

Su Yan naturally hopes that his eldest son can make great achievements, as his future heir and the second emperor of the new dynasty, his ability directly affects the longevity of the dynasty and the stability of the world.

This name indicates that Su Yan hopes that his eldest son will make great achievements in that position after inheriting his authority.

……

The news of the birth of his eldest son also reached the front line, and in the ears of Su Dingyuan, who was still blocked by Sun Kewang in front of Guiyang, his heart was naturally happy, and he ordered someone to send some uncommon gadgets he collected from Guizhou to Nanjing as a congratulatory gift.

Subsequently, he returned to the front lines.

In the past half a month, the situation of the Qin army has become increasingly severe.

Jun, the southern line of the capital Nijiang Qin army was gradually divided by the Chu army, and lost contact with Guiyang City.

Under the pressure of the Chu army step by step, Wang Lin had to withdraw the remaining soldiers and horses to the south and shrink the defensive line, and the Qin army's current range of activities is only in the area of Papaya, Lushansi and Dingfanzhou, the south of Papaya Division is occupied by the Chu army in Guangxi, and the north of Dingfanzhou is the station of Lai Xun.

What's even more fatal is that Tusi, who was fighting with the Qin army on the southern front, saw that the Qin army was in decline, and was unwilling to go all the way with them, so they turned their backs on the Qin army and joined the camp of the Chu army.

Wang Lin, who was trapped in Lushansi, felt the feeling of rebellion and separation for the first time, and in just a few days, the defense line was in danger in many places, and Tusi in various places rebelled to assist the Chu army in besieging the Qin army on the southern front.

At the beginning of May, the Guangxi Chu army conquered the Papaya Division and besieged the Lushan Division, Wang Lin saw the battle flags of the Chu army all over the mountains outside the city, as well as the artillery lined up in front of the army, and knew that there was only a dead end to continue to be trapped.

He bowed three times in the direction of Guiyang on the city wall, and then ordered Kaicheng to surrender.

After Wang Lin surrendered, the fighting spirit of the Qin army on the southern front suddenly disappeared, and with the attack of the Chu army, they surrendered one after another, and the defense line of the Dunijiang River collapsed.

After hearing the news of the collapse of the southern front, Sun Kewang, who was sitting in the Central Cao Division, immediately knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the whole army to raise the alert level and prepare for the attack of the Chu army.

Su Dingyuan's movements were even faster than he imagined, and when he learned of the good news on the southern front, Su Dingyuan immediately ordered an attack on the Qin army.

Listening only to the sound of horns and war drums, on May 15, the Chu army began to attack the camps of the Qin army, and the dense roar of artillery was like firecrackers in the New Year. _o_m

Many Qin army camps were directly covered by dense artillery fire, and the entire camp was blown into ruins, and after the Chu army infantry attacked, the surviving Qin army was already frightened and chose to surrender directly.

The strength of the Chu army's attack made the Qin army feel frightened, and in just one day, the Chu army pulled out three camps one after another, and even Sun Kewang himself couldn't help but feel afraid of the dense firepower.

But he didn't dare to show it directly, he knew that if even he showed a look of fear, it would be a bigger blow to the already low morale of the army.

In fact, even if Sun Kewang didn't show it, there were still a large number of deserters in the various camps on the front line, and many Qin soldiers were afraid of the artillery fire of the Chu army, and they didn't want to become unjust souls under the artillery fire, so they ran over the wall and ran to the rear overnight, becoming one of the deserters.
