"Bang Bang ......"

The inside and outside of Zhaojiabao are full of the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, because the Spring Festival of the Jiashen year has arrived.

All kinds of dazzling fireworks are constantly stretched out in the air, what dragons fly, elves plant trees and other Calradia-style festival fireworks all appear in the sky above Zhaojiabao, illuminating the earth into colorful daylight.

This qiē Calradia-style fireworks product is all from the hands of Arteman, a knowledgeable engineer, who came to Daming far away from home, and when he heard that this Spring Festival was a day for the reunion of the Ming people's relatives, he couldn't help but think of his family in Calradia.

In order to cherish the memory of those family members who did not know whether they would be able to see each other in this life, he specially took a few days of precious research time from the frenzied work of making muskets and experiments to create a large number of fireworks for Zhaojiabao.

Listening to the children of Zhaojiabao singing and dancing happily when they saw the fireworks blooming, Artiman smiled with satisfaction.

But when he heard the children call the dragon a fat four-legged snake, and the elf planting a tree like a monkey climbing a tree, he blew his beard and went to the tempering gun workshop.

And on this happy evening, everyone sang and danced, and the center of the crowd was Jamila and Ellene.

He wore a treasured Virginian aristocratic dress and danced with Jamila, the daughter of a merchant.

Jamila also wore a homemade noble girl dance dress, and she conquered everyone in Zhaojiabao with her elegant dancing posture, including Ellen.

They danced the Kalradia Love Dance to Niza's beautiful songs, and all the people of Zhaojiabao blessed the pair in their hearts.

Niza plays and sings the classic love song of Calradia on her homemade harp, and the song called the Elf Princess and the Human Emperor is very touching under Niza's affectionate chanting.

Even the people of Zhaojiabao, who couldn't understand the lyrics, were attracted by this beautiful singing.

Wang Dan stood by the window of the bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion with Zhao Daya in his arms, watching the people of Zhaojiabao celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival with satisfaction, he almost regarded himself as a person of this era at this time.

The Spring Festival was a happy day, but the Zhaojiabao guards on duty were still staring at the snowfield wilderness outside the fort with full vigilance.

To prevent those tartars from coming uninvited.

Standing on a high place, the cold wind was unusually cold, but the Zhaojiabao guards did not feel how cold. Because they were all wearing thick coats.

After Wang Dan returned to Zhaojiabao, he learned that Arteman had actually made a musket, and it was the kind of tunnel pistol that was fast to reload and more powerful than the bird's gun, so last time only 3,000 musketeers beat the Tartar army to the ground.

This time, all the musketeers were recruited. Without the physical limitations of the Heavy Soldiers, any brave male resident could join the army.

Originally, there were more than 100,000 residents in Zhaojiabao, and later there were more than 200,000 people who followed Wang Dan to reach Zhaojiabao outside the pass, so Zhaojiabao was much narrower, and the residents wanted to expand the wall five times, so that Zhaojiabao had enough safe land to plant. However, the king blocked the plan because he had learned from the last battle and the history of the original worldtime. Knowing that no matter how tall the fortified city is, it will be destroyed by artillery, and the protagonists of the future battlefield will be muskets and cannons, so he told the residents of Zhaojiabao not to worry about safety issues, and the escort army will be greatly expanded.

Although Wang Dan did not remove the heavy armor soldiers under the strong request of the people of Zhaojiabao, he knew that the era of muskets had arrived, and he only used the heavy armor soldiers as an honor guard to manage the security of Zhaojiabao, and because of the successful manufacture of muskets, now Zhaojiabao soon had an army of 5,000 musketeers, which was the main force of the guard army in Wang Dan's heart.

The musketeers had completely undertaken the work of guarding and patrolling the surrounding area of Zhaojiabao, and the residents of Zhaojiabao were very puzzled by Wang Dan's snubbing of the heavy armor soldiers. Because it was the heavy armor soldiers who saved Zhaojiabao at the most critical time.

The Tartars haven't come to Zhaojiabao again, and these musketeers who look very (thin) can still have some sentry effect, but when the Tartars come again, they still have to rely on heavy armor to resist, and the residents of Zhaojiabao think so.

Wang Dan was also worried that the Tartars would come again. Because although Zhaojiabao set up a corps of 5,000 musketeers, the ammunition was strictly insufficient, especially gunpowder. The Kalradian merchants were short of this material, and several of the raw materials used to make gunpowder on that continent were not commonly used. Therefore, if Wang Dan wants to buy from them, it will take a while.

Because the Spring Festival of the Jiashen Year was the first Spring Festival for Wang Dan in this world, in order to dilute the nostalgia in his heart for the original world, he specially allowed Yatiman to use the small reserves of gunpowder to make all kinds of fireworks to celebrate the New Year's Festival.

At the moment, he only hoped that the Manchu Eight Banners would not come to hunt at this time. Five thousand musketeers only had basic ammunition, which was simply not enough for the jackals to come and have shotguns.

Watching the dazzling flames of all kinds of fireworks in the sky, and hearing the joyful laughter of the residents in the entire Zhaojiabao, Wang Dan felt that this qiē was worth it.

It's just that things in the world don't start from someone's will, and when the New Year's celebration in Zhaojiabao reached its climax, the sentinels came to report to Wang Dan. In the distance, a team of less than 100 people was approaching on horseback.

In order not to affect the celebratory atmosphere of the residents of Zhaojiabao, Wang Dan personally went to the wall to see who came.

I saw that the team of 100 people was riding a horse and approaching Zhaojiabao quickly, and Wang Dan saw clearly with his incomparable sharp eyes that the person who came was Jin Nongwei, and his old acquaintance Zhang Qianzhong was also among them.

A sneer curled at the corner of Wang Dan's mouth, Zhang Qianzhong's ill-intentioned behavior before he left the customs had deeply provoked him, and if he didn't kill Zhang Qianzhong at this time, he just didn't want to be an enemy of Daming.

When the team was still 100 meters away from Zhaojiabao, the guards of Zhaojiabao who were on guard raised their guns and aimed at the unknown team, and a guard soldier also shouted and asked, "You are from there, what are you doing in Zhaojiabao?"

Outside the city, Jin Nongwei saw that the soldiers of Zhaojiabao had already aimed their guns at his party, and hurriedly stopped their horses, and replied loudly at the same time, "We are the special envoy of Jinyiwei from Beijing, and I have summoned Wang Dan, the general soldier of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, to enter Beijing to guard the Beijing division!"

The officers of the guards guarding the city looked at Wang Dan, he couldn't do such a big thing.

Wang Dan sneered and poked his head out of the city wall and shouted below, "It's Lord Zhang Quanzhong who is here, please forgive Zhaojiabao for being located in the Tartar activity area, and celebrating the Spring Festival, it is really inconvenient for adults to enter the fort, please tell me directly if you have anything!"

Zhang Qianzhong secretly hated, who in this Ming Dynasty dared not to give Jinyiwei face, but it was so difficult to do it outside the gate. It's really helpless.

Dissatisfied with the pressure, Zhang Qianzhong raised his head and smiled at Wang Dan, "The chief soldier has a happy life, the emperor wants you to be tight, Your Majesty often says that the adult is my Ming Dynasty's Changshan Zhao Zilong, as long as the adult is willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty, the world will soon be calmed down." ”

Wang boldly interrupted Zhang Qianzhong's kind words and said, "Master Zhang, don't grind, I'll tell you clearly, this Ming has nothing to do with me, don't let me know anything about it, let alone think about coming to me." Alright, that's all, goodbye!"

After Wang Dan finished speaking, he turned and walked down the city wall.

Zhang Qianzhong hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Wang, please don't abandon Da Ming, Zhang Mou did have a little bit of inappropriateness to the adults in the Guannai, but now Da Ming is in danger, and the emperor is waiting for you to come to the rescue!"

Wang Dan was hiding under the city wall at this time and listened to Zhang Qianzhong loudly tell the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it turned out that Chongzhen's last bit of troops were also wiped out by Li Zicheng in Tongguan, and Li Zicheng would attack the capital at any time.

"Chongzhen is about to go to Coal Mountain, hey. Poor little Nizi is about to break her arm, don't blame me for not saving you, the current musketeers of the escort army only have ammunition to defend the city, and they don't have the strength to care about those things!"

Wang Dan said in a low voice to himself. But he didn't have any intention of entertaining Zhang Quanzhong into the fort, he just didn't want to set himself on fire.

Zhang Qianzhong shouted for a long time, and seeing that Wang Dan had no intention of coming forward again, he had to announce the decree loudly outside the fort: "Fengtiancheng............ Awarded the Liaodong General Soldier Wang Dan as the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. He leads the world's soldiers and horses and supervises the power of hundreds of officials...... Chin!"

After waiting for a long time, I saw that Wang Dan did not appear again. Zhang Qianzhong shouted, "Lord Wang, now you are the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, please save the Ming Dynasty from fire and water!" After speaking, he took a deep look at the otherworldly fireworks on Zhao Jiabao's head, and then led his men to ride a horse to Shanhaiguan and galloped away.

Wang Dan mourned for Chongzhen and Daming for a minute in his heart, and then decided to eat all the delicacies that he had not eaten at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner as a protest against the bloodier chaos that followed.

This person who just wants to be the owner of a happy manor in Zhaojiabao put aside his worries for the time being, and joined the joyful crowd of Zhaojiabao watching the fireworks show.

He didn't know that a delicate figure walked out of the corner of the city wall, it was his little wife Zhao Daya, the hostess of Zhaojiabao sadly watched Wang Dan mix in the crowd to watch the fireworks. After a long time, she walked towards a place in Zhaojiabao as if she had decided something.

A few days after the Spring Festival, the entire Zhaojiabao spread the news of the Ming Dynasty said by Wang Xin, who went out to buy daily necessities and came back to sell, Li Zicheng marched to Beijing, and with the soldiers of Daxi who had been subdued, he led the entire 500,000 Dashun army to Beijing overwhelmingly. Along the way, the people all welcomed the douchi, and the cities they passed through were automatically surrendered, and countless Ming troops did not resist all surrendered to the king, and they were about to arrive in Beijing in a few days.

The residents of Zhaojiapu are saying that King Chuang is the founding emperor of the new dynasty appointed by heaven, and Zhaojiabao will not cause a catastrophe if he is from the dragon as soon as possible.

Those new subjects who came out of the customs quietly sang the song composed by King Chuang, because Wang Dan still has to collect one-tenth of the tax, and King Chuang does not collect taxes, so that Li Zicheng's popularity among the residents of Zhaojiabao faintly competes with Wang Dan.

Regarding the various remarks among the residents of Zhaojiapu, Wang Dan doesn't care, as long as he lives a good life, then Li Zicheng can only be popular for a few more days after occupying Beijing, and he doesn't have to care about that mallet at all.

At this time, Wang Dan was most worried about Zhao Daya's pregnancy, and he was now thinking about how to improve Zhaojiabao's medical level all day long, what boiling water, washing and disinfection procedures, and keeping the production environment clean, etc. In order to recall all the medical knowledge in all the medical TV series he watched in the original world, Wang Dan hit the wall a lot.

Seeing that he personally asked someone to clean up the production room, all kinds of utensils and furnishings have quite the appearance of the original world. Wang Dan was also a little satisfied, and he also decided to expand this infirmary after the child was born and become the originator of modern professional hospitals. Let the family and the residents of Zhaojiapu enjoy perfect medical protection.

Suddenly, a maid rushed into the infirmary, crying and kneeling down to the king, and then said in fear, "Castle master, go and save your lady!"

Wang Dan's heart jumped up uneasily, and he shouted, "What's the matter, madam, tell me quickly!"

The maid said in fear, "A few people from outside suddenly grabbed Madame with knives, and they wanted to kidnap Madame out of the fort, but the guards guarding the gate did not allow it, and they were in a stalemate at the city gate!"

"Dada"

Wang dared to rush out of the infirmary like a gust of wind.

"Let go of the castle lord!"

"Don't hurt Madame, we can let you go!"

............

Countless Zhaojiabao people yelled at the strangers who kidnapped Zhao Daya.

Many people also shed tears of worry about the danger that Zhao Daya encountered.

Wang Dan did his best for the people of Zhaojiabao to live the kind of life he promised. The various bill orders were made after the majority of the people were consulted. For the various decrees implemented by Wang Dan that people in this era had never heard of, the people of Zhaojiabao were almost 100% appreciative, and they said that Wang Dan moved the Heavenly Palace to Zhaojiabao.

Wang Dan is the heaven of the people of Zhaojiabao, these people who live in the fire of Daming Peak live a peaceful life in their dreams because of Wang Dan, but now someone wants to hurt the wife of the great benefactor, so the residents of Zhaojiabao are angry.

There were constantly Zhaojiabao people who wanted to rush over to save Zhao Daya, but they were all blocked by the guards, and those outsiders were also very nervous and waved the sharp weapons in their hands to scare the Zhaojiabao people not to approach.

Zhao Daya was quietly held to her neck with a dagger, but there was no frightened expression in her eyes that a victim should have.

More and more people in Zhaojiabao wanted to save people, and the guards were busy trying their best to stop them. The situation is becoming more tense.

Resarit and the fifteen warriors came over, the residents of Zhaojiabao automatically got out of the way, and the sixteen warriors who appeared with Wang Dan were also rumored by the residents to be immortal generals.

After receiving the hint from his fellow warriors, Resarit said in a deep voice to the few people who were holding Zhao Daya hostage, "You'd better let go of the lord's wife, otherwise the entire Zhao Jiabao won't let you go!"

"Hmph, don't bother, our master just invited the wife of the lord of Zhao Bao to go to the Ming Imperial City to stay for a few days, and when the lord of the castle went out for the Ming Dynasty again, his wife would naturally be officially canonized as the duchess of the country by the emperor. ”

The person who held Zhao Daya with a knife shouted out his purpose, and the surrounding Zhaojiabao people exclaimed in surprise. The imperial power who was extremely noble in their hearts in the past would actually use this obscene means to save themselves when they were at the end of the road.

Chongzhen's current days Zhaojiabao people naturally know that after a big fight with Tartar last time, Tartar suddenly became very settled. The people of Zhaojiabao were also able to have some business contacts with the Guannei, not only bought back the daily necessities needed by the people of Zhaojiabao, but also brought the astonishing news that Chongzhen's Ming army was completely wiped out in Tongguan.

Thinking that it was the emperor who was respected as a god in the past, the people of Zhaojiabao were silent.

Those people saw that the people of Zhaojiabao didn't seem to have the intention of attacking. All breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry about the safety of the Duchess of the Kingdom, our emperor will definitely salute - drink! drink!"

The person who was holding Zhao Daya with a knife was speaking to appease the people of Zhao Jiabao when he was suddenly deeply inserted into his throat by the dagger shot by Kress with a flying technique. Blood spurted out of the man's neck like a determinant flood.

Before those few people could fully react, the sixteen warriors had already quickly pounced and used Calradia's fighting skills to take down a few people.

Handed over the few people taken to the guards to watch, and the warriors such as Resarit went to care about the lord's wife.

After James confirmed that Zhao Daya was safe, the Sixteen Warriors found that the few people who dared to hold the castle lord's wife hostage had been bitten to death by the angry Zhao Jiabao people.

Although the Sixteen Warriors did not approve of the Zhaojiabao people's treatment of human beings in this way, they also knew that this was a sign that the Zhaojiabao people sincerely supported Wang Guts, so they were still very happy in their hearts.

At this moment, the king rushed to the scene with a roar, and saw that the enemy had been solved, so he went to comfort his frightened wife, and he couldn't listen to what Resarit said, leaving only a sentence for Resarit to deal with it by himself and took Zhao Daya back to the city lord's mansion.

Back in the bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Dan carefully helped Zhao Daya to lie on the bed.

"Husband, please take a break and listen to me tell you something. ”

Zhao Daya called Wang Dan, who was busy taking care of herself.

The king hurriedly replied, "It's so good, you can say it." ”

Looking at her husband who doted on her, Zhao Daya secretly sighed in her heart, but she still said to Wang Dan with a smile, "Husband, you are not an ordinary person, you shouldn't spend your time only on me, you don't want to make meritorious contributions and do some glorious ancestral achievements." ”

Wang Danqi said, "Oh, what does my wife think I can do to make the life of the people of Zhaojiabao better? ”

Now Wang Dan only thinks about how to lead the people of Zhaojiabao to live a better life. He made it his biggest goal in life, and he didn't think about anything else.

Looking at Wang Dan's happy appearance, Zhao Daya, who knew him, shook her head hesitantly, and said softly, "My husband has done a good job, the people of Zhaojiabao are like living in a fairyland now, and if they want to live a better life, they will be broken." ”

Wang Dan laughed and said proudly to his wife, "Wife, you can see it, I have Arteman, a scientific madman, and I will soon create a more harmful spear, and then there will be no enemy who can hurt Zhaojiabao." All the people of Zhaojiabao will have a better life than now. ”

Zhao Daya quietly looked at Wang Dan, who was interested in talking about Zhao Jiabao's future, and her eyes showed pride and relief for her husband.

Wang Dan talked for a while, and found that Zhao Daya seemed to be a little tired, so he hurriedly stopped looking forward to the beautiful life in the future, covered his wife with a quilt, and then let Zhao Daya have a good rest and went out.

Wang Dan walked to his martial arts training ground, picked up the sword of the king and worked hard to practice the strange sword moves in his mind, now that Zhaojiabao's various management has been on the right track, he doesn't need to worry too much. Unless he makes a decision, Wang Dan will stop for a while in addition to taking care of his wife, and he usually uses it to practice swordsmanship.

With the advent of the musket era, individual force was no longer a decisive factor on the battlefield. But Wang Dan thought that there were too many martial arts masters in this world, and they would still pose a great threat to himself and his family, so he practiced swordsmanship hard, just for self-defense. Instead of going into battle to fight the enemy.

"Drink, ha, slash, ......"

According to the memory in his mind, Wang Dan continued to match this sword technique with the corresponding breathing law, and gradually, he found that the sword moves he used became more and more fluent. The speed is comparable to that of electric light.

On a whim, he unleashed his sword moves with all his might, and suddenly a whirlwind of sword shadows centered on Wang Dan appeared in the martial arts training ground, and this whirlwind became faster and faster, and it also began to move.

This violent whirlwind continued to rage and swim in the martial arts training ground, and others could not get close to within ten meters at all. It's just that Wang Dan likes to be quiet, so he usually doesn't let people watch from the side, so Wang Dan's new trick is that no one can see it.

The whirlwind turned to the center of the martial arts training ground and suddenly stopped, and Wang Dan was still a barbarian king with a sword in both hands. The sword of the king was still making a rapid trembling hiss, and Wang Dan exhaled deeply, and slowly sat down on the ground to rest.

"Ouye!"

Suddenly, Wang Dan celebrated happily, because he had joined the Dharma-Movement in the practice just now, and he had actually practiced a self-created two-handed sword combat technique that was both offensive and defensive. At the moment, he even has the confidence to compete with those masters in the world, of course, only in heads-up situations.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Zhao Xiaoya's figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the martial arts training ground, Wang Dan saw this little pistachio, his mood was also happy, he got up and walked over and asked Zhao Xiaoya, "Little girl, what are you doing here?"

"Don't come here!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaoya screamed first, hurriedly covered her eyes tightly with her hands and immediately turned her back.

Wang Dan smiled, "Little girl, what the hell are you doing?" ”

I only heard Zhao Xiaoya say shyly, "Brother-in-law is shameless, he goes out to wander around without clothes." ”

Wang Dan was stunned for a moment when he heard the little girl's words, and suddenly felt cold and sassy under him, and he looked down and turned his back.

He found that he had turned into a beggar's buttocks outfit, he must have been too involved in sword practice just now, and the cotton clothes on his body were torn by the sword wind.

Wang Dan is ready to be a castle master with peace of mind, so he usually doesn't wear armor.

Wang Dan said embarrassedly to Zhao Xiaoya, "You have something to wait for, I'll go change my clothes first." Then he ran to the bedroom with his ass in his hands, startling the maid guards along the way.

Finally rushed back to the bedroom, and found that Zhao Daya was not there, and he didn't care so much, he dared to find another set of clothes to change into.

When Wang Dan was changing clothes, Zhao Xiaoya's voice sounded outside the door, "Brother-in-law, have you changed your clothes, my sister is gone." ”

"Squeak!"

Wang Dan quickly opened the door and shouted to Zhao Xiaoya, "What are you talking about!"

Zhao Xiaoya took out a box aggrievedly and said to Wang Dan, "Brother-in-law, why are you scolding people, my sister is really gone, she only left this box and left a message for you to open it yourself." ”

Wang Dan grabbed the box, and when he opened it, he saw that there was a holy decree on it, because Wang Dan had seen it several times, so he recognized it. However, Wang Dan saw that there was still a letter from Zhao Daya under the holy decree, and picked up Chongzhen's holy decree like throwing garbage to the ground. Then he picked up the envelope, and when he saw it, there were a few simplified characters written on it, which was also taught to Zhao Daya when Wang Dan was bored, and others couldn't imitate it.

The envelope said that my husband had opened it personally. (To be continued......)
