The emperor has already shown the dagger and revealed all the conditions. It's just that these conditions are so harsh, Yu Qian didn't dare to accept it for a while, so he planned to deal with it first, and then go home to discuss it with his staff, so he replied to Xiao Lingxi: "What the girl meant, Weichen understands, can you allow Weichen to go back and think about it, and then reply?" ”

Xiao Lingxi smiled: "The first two conditions can give you three days to consider. But about the matter of marriage, you must give an answer today.

There is no need to look at each other, now in this house, there is only me and my girl, who can be used for marriage. To give me a good word or not.

Please forgive me Yu Shangshu, the little woman wants to threaten you, the emperor is completely annoyed now, if you don't agree, the emperor has already considered the candidates for the left and right servants of the military department, and the appointment edict will be issued today. In another four or five days, the Marquis of Xing'an, with the elite of the border army, arrived in Beijing from Shaanxi, and he would immediately be ordered to take over the five military camps.

In that case, there would be no room for either of us to turn around. ”

Yu Qian shook his head when he heard this: "Lingxi girl, didn't you say that the princess and Weichen would talk, why does Weichen feel that you have already said everything the princess has to say?" ”

Xiao Lingxi replied: "The princess is a very kind person, I don't want her to play the role of a villain. You call her again, and she's talking the same way.

Unless you don't want to deal with the princess at all in the future, why bother, everyone can't get off the stage in the end.

I've always been straightforward and fast-talking, so I'm suitable for doing things that offend people, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have been able to send me out desperately. ”

Yu Qian had no choice but to reply: "The girl laughed, how dare Weichen disobey the princess." Everything, whatever the princess says, how the minister will receive the order. ”

"It's good if you said no, then you can sit down for a while, and the concubine will go and invite the princess over."

After that, Xiao Lingxi put on his shoes and went out of the east room. As soon as I arrived outside the house, I saw Zhu Qiyu hugging the little princess from behind, and the two were close to each other, whispering private words while rubbing and rubbing.

Seeing this, Xiao Lingxi twisted Lin Xiangyu's waist angrily, and said softly: "My sister also spoils her brother-in-law too much, in broad daylight, just let him be so unclean, what if he is bumped into by someone." ”

Lin Xiangyu retorted with a red face: "There are no men coming behind, they are all our own sisters, what are you afraid of." You've been talking about it for a long time, my sister and I will go with me to arrange for Yu Shangshu to eat.

The slave family still has a lot of things to do in the afternoon, and they will go to the palace again tomorrow morning, so they have no time to serve their husbands. The husband went to the incense room and asked her to serve the husband for dinner. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he asked curiously: "Okay, why did the princess enter the palace?" ”

Lin Xiangyu teased when she heard this: "The husband is also embarrassed to ask, the slave family entered the palace not to implement the secret plan you came up with, which lacked eight lifetimes of great virtue." ”

"Oh oh, I know, it's really hard princess, I'm grateful for my husband, I'll knock you one when I go back."

After that, Zhu Qiyu slipped back to the backyard and went to the incense room.

Lin Xiangyu accompanied Yu Qian to dinner and finalized the marriage between the two parties.

There was nothing to say later, and the next morning, Zhu Qiyu got up and prepared to go to the West Flower Hall to discuss matters. As soon as I came to the main courtyard, I saw Lin Xiangyu and Liu Chang standing in the courtyard, talking happily. Liu Chang held a handful of iron flakes in his hand, and as he spoke, he happily gestured.

Zhu Qiyu walked closer and asked curiously: "What are you talking about, chatting so happily, isn't the princess going to the palace?" ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she smiled and handed over the iron piece in her hand: "Husband, guess what this is?" If you guessed correctly, this princess has a lot of rewards. ”

Zhu Qiyu took it curiously and took a closer look: "The upper part of this iron piece is oval, with Liu Chang's name engraved on it, and a column of numbers: 'One Five Nine'. The lower part of the iron piece is narrow and flat, with blades at both ends, sharp and sharp, as if used as a sharp weapon for stabbing.

It's like a weapon, but it's not exactly like it; Like a nameplate that marks identity, it's not exactly like it. I've never seen anything like it. ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu took another iron card in Liu Chang's hand and took a closer look: "You also made a lot of the same, it seems that this thing will be used many times." What is this for, and who invented it? ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she unconsciously sprouted a little daughter's attitude, and replied arrogantly: "This is what the slave family came up with, and it finally stumped the husband." ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Don't say it yet, let me ponder." ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu took the iron plate and walked back and forth in the courtyard several times before he suddenly realized: "Oh, could it be that this is used to mark the loot?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu shook his head again: "It's not right, this is used to calculate heads and mark military merits." Could it be that you want to stick this thing in the head of the slain Warats on the battlefield as a mark of military merit? ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, her eyes showed a look of adoration: "The husband is really a god, the slave family came up with it after thinking about it, how could the husband guess it as soon as he guessed it?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Because I have always been worried about this matter: I want to attack the camp of Yexian at night and kill the Tartars of several thousand watts."

It's just that the fight on the big night is up, and the black rumbling is booming, how to calculate the merits of the soldiers. If you cut off the heads of the enemies one by one, you will be distracted and you will not be able to focus on killing them. And even if you cut off the enemy's head, if you pin five or six heads around your waist, it will affect the flexibility of the soldiers' movements. ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "That's right, the slave family is responsible for giving rewards to the soldiers, if you don't cut off the enemy's head, how many people the soldiers have killed, and it will become a confused account, which not only disappoints the courage of the soldiers, but also hurts the husband's compassion for the soldiers."

Therefore, the slave family wanted to organize a special head harvesting team. Soldiers who have killed an enemy only need to insert an iron card marked with their identity into the head of the dead enemy, and then continue to kill the enemy. The rest of the beheading is followed by the harvesting team and is in charge of it.

This method may not be effective if it is used during the day, but if the night attack is successful and the enemy blows up the battalion, the entire army will be like an avalanche, and the army will be defeated like a mountain, and there will be no way to organize an effective counterattack. Then the harvesting team will be able to calmly cut off the heads.

After returning to the camp after the battle, the harvesting team gathered the heads together, and according to the iron cards inserted on their heads, they determined who killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions. This is so clear, and it is also convenient for the slave family to reward silver according to human hair. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again, and praised sincerely: "Concubine Ai is really a widow's virtuous helper, originally I attached great importance to the night attack of the first one, and now with such a clear reward system, wouldn't it be even more life-threatening." ”

Liu Chang also praised on the side: "The princess Niangniang Shengming has established a perfect reward system. cut off the head of a Tartar, and give twenty taels of silver. Now the brothers have long been gearing up, looking forward to the first master to come and confer the head. ”
