April.

Yue Guo Gong Mansion.

Yan Ling paced anxiously outside a house, back and forth, stopping from time to time to listen carefully to the sounds inside.

You can hear the "hard" shouts of the midwife in the house from time to time, as well as Feng Shuzhen's painful moans, and the sound of some pots colliding, making a mess.

From time to time, midwives came in and out, brought in a basin of hot water, took a few clean towels, and soon came out with a basin of blood water.

This made him even more anxious.

Whenever the thick curtain was lifted, Yan Ling always leaned over, hoping to get a glimpse of the movement inside through the cracks, but was soon pushed open by the midwife and said:

"Eh, Grandpa Guo, men can't look at this."

At this time, although he is a prince of the country, he can only helplessly obey the arrangements of these old mothers.

His wife, after ten months of pregnancy, finally has signs of giving birth today.

As early as the beginning of Feng Shuzhen's pregnancy, the best midwife in the entire Yingtian City had been invited to live in the Guogong Mansion, for today.

Like all men who are new fathers, his mood at this time is anxious and uneasy.

Although the best midwife in the city was invited, and Feng Shuzhen was old enough when she was pregnant, after all, she did not have the high level of medicine in later generations, Yan Ling was still worried in her heart, for fear that her beloved wife would have three games and two shortages.

He has been a human for two lives, but this is the first time, and the belated happiness makes him cherish it even more.

On the side, even the nurse is ready, just waiting for the birth of the child.

Finally, the midwife's shouting in the house stopped, and even Feng Shuzhen's screaming became weaker.

Yan Ling seemed to have a premonition of something, he leaned over and put his ear on the curtain.

At this time, the curtain of the delivery room was lifted, and a midwife walked out with a swaddling cloth wrapped in a heavy bedding in her arms.

When she saw Yan Ling, she immediately smiled and said:

"Congratulations to Grandpa Guo, I have the joy of making Zhang today!"

Yan Ling was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed ecstasy.

The joy of making Zhang, which means that a boy was born.

It's not that he is patriarchal or anything, but in this way, the title of the duke and the huge family have an heir, which is a great thing.

And, of course, more importantly, he's a father!

He couldn't wait to rush over and take the child from the midwife's hands, but then as if he realized something, even if there was no dust, he wiped his hands on his luxurious clothes, and then carefully took over the little life.

The soft and small body was lying in his arms, and his hands and feet were very light, for fear that he would accidentally hurt him.

The child is still wrinkled and not good-looking, but in Yan Ling's eyes, it is extremely kind, and a feeling of blood connection is spreading.

As if sensing his father's breath, the child's little mouth snorted twice and opened a gap:

"Wow!"

The baby let out his first cry to the world.

April 8.

This day is a day of great joy for Yan Ling, and even for the entire Yan family in Mingzhou.

The eldest son of the head of the family, Yan Ling, the Duke of Yueguo, was born.

Named Yan Ya.

When the nurse fed enough milk, Yan Ling couldn't wait to snatch the child back.

He hugged his son and squeezed to his wife's side. At this time, Feng Shuzhen had already cleaned up her body by the midwife, changed into clean clothes, and was lying in the house resting.

"Shuzhen, look at it, our children. It's been a hard time for you these past few months. ”

Feng Shuzhen's eyes flashed brightly, she took the child who had fallen asleep, and carefully looked at the immature face.

"It's so pretty...... It's like you. ”

She muttered.

Yan Ling scratched her head, such a young child, how could she see that she looked like herself?

No matter what, his younger brother won the champion before, and today his son was born again.

Double happiness is coming!

-----------------

Not only was the Yueguo Mansion immersed in joy, but the entire Ming Dynasty of the year was also shrouded in vigorous vitality.

With the end of the four-year imperial examination in Hongwu, a large number of officials poured into the court, they were young and idealistic, and brought new vitality to this dynasty.

The entire Ming Dynasty showed a thriving atmosphere.

This not only depends on the hard work of the court officials and the emperor, but also is inseparable from the soldiers who fought in the south and the north.

For example, in the first year to the third year of Hongwu, Huaixi and Zhedong faction fought to the death, but the main forces of the war between the two sides were civilian officials, and it was rare to see military generals such as Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, etc., who originally held military power should be an important pole of the party struggle, but strangely, they seemed to be hidden in this struggle.

Why?

Fight the world.

The Ming Dynasty at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China was actually just a large Eastern Wu with Shandong and Yanyun. There is still a considerable amount of territory occupied by the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty and the separatist rebels, and the turmoil is still not over.

And after that, the huge thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty were basically laid during this time.

In the second year of Hongwu, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led the army to the expedition, first descending to Li Siqi, and then beheading Zhang Sidao, and the land of Qinlong was returned.

In the third year of Hongwu, the Ming army marched north again, Li Wenzhong led the army out of Juyong, chased the Yuan Emperor outside the Saiwai, and captured hundreds of emperors and princes and generals; Xu Da broke the expansion of Timur in Shen Eryu, and the expansion of Timur (Wang Baobao) only led a few soldiers to escape.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Liu Yi of Pingzhang of the Yuan Dynasty led Liaodong to surrender.

In the first month of the same year, with Tang He as the general of the expedition to the west, Qin Long attacked Shu, and in April, Tang He and Fu Youde broke Chongqing, Mingsheng surrendered, and the Great Xia Kingdom was destroyed.

In the first month of the fifth year, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, was the general of the expedition to the west and conquered Gansu. In March, in the battle of the Tula River, Timur was defeated by the hands of Lan Yu, who was still only the governor of the capital, and in June, Gansu was recovered.

With Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo, as the general of the expedition to the south, and Zhou Dexing and Wu Liang conquered Hunan and Guangxi, the two provinces were also peaceful.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu after that, Lan Yu, Mu Yingke Dali, Yunnan Ping.

In addition, in the tenth year of Hongwu, Deng Yue begged for Tibet, broke it, chased it to Kunlun Mountain, captured and beheaded 10,000 people, obtained more than 100,000 horses, cattle and sheep, set up Wusi Tibetan Division, Duogandu commanded the envoys, and then formally levied taxes in the two provinces in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, announcing "to horses instead of endowments", so far, Qinghai-Tibet into the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning of the Northern Expedition in the first year of Wu to the end of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the traditional eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty were all recovered. To the north, the Ming Dynasty occupied Liaodong, to the south, with the Burmese military and civilian propaganda to make the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula, to the east of the East China Sea, to the west of the plateau, a huge Han dynasty once again stood in the east of the world.

At this time, 475 years have passed since the fall of the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Tianqi and the end of China's unification.

The world is decided.
