"Governor Sun, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be this witness for Xiuyun and Sun Ming, it's not too early, Lin County still needs you to preside over the overall situation, let's start."

Zhu Yujian said.

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, I will return to Linxian County after I am done, I can't drink the wine, and I will have the opportunity to make up for it later."

Sun Chuanting's eyes were bloody, his face was full of exhaustion, he really hadn't rested well these days, the war in Linxian was tight, and the rebel army led by Li Zicheng was about to break the city, if it wasn't for King Tang opening his mouth to him, he would never have left Linxian.

"Two newcomers, they're all ready."

Sun Chuanting asked.

As the prefect of Nanyang Prefecture, he is not a weak talent, but a civil and military all-rounder who can write to calm the world and martial arts.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the court's civil servants withered, and the generals were even more scarce.

Since Yuan Chonghuan was Ling Chi, Shanhaiguan is Wu Sangui's Yiyantang, this person has wolf ambitions, different appearances and inconsistencies, and the court is even more detached, sitting back and watching Jiannu develop and grow.

Because he knows very well that Jiannu is here, he is here, and if the Manchu Qing is really eliminated, then there is no need for him to exist.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's virtue of being rigid and self-serving, with a small belly and chicken intestines, he pacified Jiannu with his front foot, and his back foot had to be destroyed by Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, although Wu Sangui fought bravely, the Ning Yuan army under his command was an iron-blooded army, and only this cavalry in the entire Ming Dynasty could face Jiannu Gang.

But he is not loyal, compared with Sun Chuanting, he is more heaven and earth.

The latter was wholeheartedly for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and when the imperial court in the capital was tight and there were no soldiers and no money, he still led his subordinates to achieve several great victories and barely stabilized his position.

However, such loyal ministers and capable ministers have not met a reliable boss.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting died in Tongguan, so far, Chongzhen has completely lost a useful right-hand man, and the Ming Dynasty has also lost the last pillar stone.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, in 1644 AD, Li Zicheng broke through the capital, and the Ming Dynasty was no longer in its glory, and it officially went to extinction.

Sun Ming still admires Sun Chuanting very much, and the character and ability of this old general are the top in the world.

Looking at it today, the relationship with Zhu Yujian is also very good.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Sun Chuanting said loudly.

Sun Ming and Zhu Xiuyun knelt down to worship heaven and earth.

"Second worship high hall!"

Sun Chuanting continued.

Sun Ming and Zhu Xiuyun turned around and knelt down to worship Zhu Yujian and Zeng, both of whom were holding teacups in their hands.

"Father, mother, please have tea."

Sun Ming said respectfully.

The two reached out and took the teacup and took a sip.

Zhu Yujian's expression was very normal, and even with a smile on his face, Zeng's was not so happy, staring at Sun Ming with a pair of apricot blossom eyes, obviously not very satisfied with this husband.

There is no way, after all, Sun Ming's reputation is there, and everyone in the entire Nanyang Mansion knows about it, and it has already broken out.

It's no wonder that the mother-in-law can like it!

married to such a person, the daughter was not blessed, but was forced into the fire pit by the old father.

For this reason, Zeng also had a big quarrel with Zhu Yujian, but in the end it failed to change the result.

After all, in ancient times, it was the monarch and the minister, the father and the son, the husband was the wife, and the father was the son, and the rules must not be messed up.

"Sun Ming, I advise you to do it yourself!"

Zeng said coldly.

"Okay, what's the matter to go back to the room and say, on today's good day, don't make a mess, Governor Sun continues!"

Zhu Yujian said.

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

Sun Chuanting continued the husband and wife ceremony, and Sun Ming and Zhu Xiuyun got up one after another, bent down and bowed face to face.

"Send to the cave!"

As Sun Chuanting's last word fell, Sun Ming was led to the back house by two little maids.

As for Zhu Xiuyun, he had to stay to entertain the VIPs, while Sun Ming had to wait in the room, just like marrying a daughter-in-law, except that he was the one who was married.

Sun Ming sat on the bed, bored.

"Alas, there is nothing wrong with my father-in-law, even if he doesn't look down on us, he will never harm us, but this mother-in-law is not easy to get along with, and Xiuyun, how do you feel that her eyes have changed, not as gentle as when she met before, it won't be regret."

Sun Ming said to himself.

He knew very well in his heart that he couldn't blame other mothers and daughters.

After all, the original owner has done too many things that lack morality, and he has to carry this pot, so he can only slowly find a way to make up for it.

Sun Ming has not been idle these days, and has laid out a lot of things, and now that the war has burned to Henan, if Lin County is conquered, Nanyang Mansion will not be able to be saved.

The land of the Central Plains is mainly plains, the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, as long as the Tongguan is opened, there is a horse and a flat river in front.

Now, Tongguan has been lost, and Li Zicheng's 200,000 troops have entered, and they must be driven out of Tongguan and trapped in their hometown in Shaanxi.

It's easier said than done.

The only advantage on the side of the imperial army was the weapons, which were guns and artillery.

However, the officialdom is corrupt, and the weapons made by the craftsmen and supervisors are only spectacle, and they do not have much combat effectiveness at all.

Because of this, even if the peasant army did not have armor, even if it had a hoe and a sickle in its hand, it could win consecutive battles.

Two shots with a three-eyed gun will explode, who would dare to take this thing?

However, compared to the defective artillery, the three-eyed gun is not bad, at least the explosion will not hurt your own people.

The artillery is not so simple, once the bore is blown up, the soldiers who operate it will either be killed or wounded.

"How do you convince your father-in-law to build an armament?"

Sun Ming is very difficult, the central court will never allow the local vassal kings to raise private soldiers and build weapons, if they are reported, kill your whole family without discussion.

Although Zhu Yujian has courage, as far as the current situation is concerned, before the country overturns, does he dare to brave the world's condemnation to build weapons and equipment to help Sun Chuanting defend Henan?

"Squeak!"

Just when Sun Ming was thinking about countermeasures, the door opened lightly, and a graceful girl dressed in red stepped into the room.

"Wife, I'm done, come and sit on the bed."

Sun Ming habitually said.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiuyun frowned slightly.

Wife, what does this mean? Shouldn't you call a lady or a wife?

"Although you are my nominal husband, don't think that the lord of this county will have a house with you."

After Zhu Xiuyun hesitated for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to say this.

In her opinion, promising to each other is already repaying Sun Ming's life-saving grace, if she is allowed to sleep in the same bed with such a gentleman, she is not willing to be killed.

"Oh, it's okay, His Royal Highness the county lord is what he says."

Sun Ming didn't argue, after all, the little girl was just sixteen years old, and she could indeed have a round house in ancient times, and she was not young.

But in later life, sixteen years old is just an adult, how can you get eighteen years old to start.

Sun Ming is not cowardly, but the melon is too tender, and he still likes to eat it a little more ripe.
