Chapter 728 Defection
The news that the Northern Expeditionary Army captured Xinzhou had not yet reached Jiaozhou, and Yang Xi and his wife brought the official media to the Wei family to propose marriage.

Many spectators gathered outside the gate of Wei's house. After seeing the princess's carriage, the outside of the house became even more lively. Afterwards, more and more people wanted to see if the marriage would be possible.

Father Wei greeted her at the door, but Yang Xi didn't put on airs like a princess, they came to propose marriage sincerely.

Wei's father was very cautious, and his tone was tense, "I have seen the princess, and I have seen the Marquis."

The Wei family greeted each other, and Yang Xi signaled that there was no need to be too polite, and then a group of people entered the Wei family. The Wei family is not big, and the house composed of several small courtyards can be seen at a glance.

Yang Xi remembered that Wei's father had bad legs and feet, and she didn't walk fast. By the way, she looked at Miss Wei Ru.

The Wei family was too nervous, so they received them carefully all the way, and waited for everyone to be seated. Yang Xi and his wife did not sit in the main seat. Today they came to propose a marriage, not to overwhelm the host.

Father Wei felt relieved, the attitude of the princess and Lord Hou meant respecting his daughter, and did not look down on the Wei family, "Princess, Lord Hou, please have some tea."

Zhou Yu said, "Just call us Mr."

Compared with Princess and Lord Hou, the husband and wife prefer the title of Mr.

Father Wei thought for a while, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Yang, please drink tea."

Zhou Yu smiled, "Okay."

In order to receive Yang Xi and his wife, the Wei family not only changed their home, but also found someone to buy a lot of good tea. The Wei family saw that the two gentlemen liked it, and Wei's father felt that no matter how much money they spent, it was worth it.

Yang Xi put down his teacup to signal the official media to speak, and the official media introduced Mr. Zhou with a smile. For the official media, this trip is much more lucrative and easy.

The marriage proposal was agreed a long time ago, and Yang Xi and his wife came to propose marriage in person, and the Wei family happily agreed to the marriage.

Wei Ru's age is indeed not young, Wei Ru is willing to get married, but it's too late to be happy as a parent, and with the status of the Zhou family, the Wei family will not be embarrassing.

After the two families exchanged Geng Tie, Yang Xi chatted with Wei Ru's mother for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he got up and left Wei's house.

Zhou Lin's marriage proposal went well, and the news that Yang Xi and his wife were satisfied with Wei Ru spread with the official media.

When Yang Xi and his wife returned home, Yang Xi asked his younger brother, "Wei Ru's younger siblings are all honest people, you should also value this."

Zhou Lin nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Yu patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "I can rest assured, you and Wei Ru will live a good life in the future."

Zhou Lin was really looking forward to getting married, and suddenly said: "I haven't written a letter to tell my little sister, brother, have you told my little sister yet?"

Yang Xi, "??"

Then the couple looked at each other in dismay, very well, they didn't tell Zhou Ran the news.

Zhou Yu patted his younger brother on the back, "Don't hurry up and write a letter."

Zhou Lin touched his nose, "I think I will be scolded."

Yang Xi said in a low tone, "My little sister must want to spill the water from her married daughter. She was the last to know about such a big thing."

Zhou Lin's scalp was numb, "I thought the elder brother would tell the younger sister."

Zhou Yu never takes the blame, only blames it, "I thought you told me, this is your lifelong event!"

Zhou Lin hurriedly got up to write a letter, and when the thick letter was sent away, everyone in Ezhou knew that the Wei family was about to prosper.

Father Wei received a post from Chenglan, and he had a deep insight into the energy of the Zhou family and the princess. Father Wei became more careful, and did not dare to respond to a single post.

In the past, Wei's father didn't dare to refuse, his legs were destined not to be able to go up, but now there is a lack of talent to let him go up, and in the future he will stop at Juren.

Now that Father Wei dared, he knew that only by knowing how to refuse would the princess and Lord Hou be more satisfied.

The horoscopes of Zhou Lin and Wei Ru also came out together. It is hard to find a good relationship between the two, a rare good marriage.

At this time, Jiaozhou received the battle situation in the north. The southern soldiers from Jeju and Nanzhou joined together, with more than 5 troops, and joined with more than 4 elite soldiers from Binzhou. Nearly [-] troops quickly took Binzhou.

After the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Xinzhou, they continued to advance. Binzhou soldiers and horses converged towards the Northern Expeditionary Army, and internal and external cooperation wanted to quickly take Jiazhou.

The southern soldiers from Jeju and Nanzhou defected and stabbed Zhang Min severely. The fleeing soldiers and horses from Nanzhou destroyed many barracks along the way, and Zhang Min wanted to kill with hatred.

When Zhang Min received the news, it was too late. Most of his troops were in the border states, and there were not many troops in the hinterland.

Zhang Min was frightened by the cannons of the Northern Expedition Army. The speed at which the Northern Expedition Army captured Xinzhou made Zhang Min realize that there was a huge gap in firearms. No one thought that Yang Xixuan's cannons were more powerful than foreigners' cannons.

As Binzhou was occupied, Zhang Min's body shook a little. He quickly stabilized his mind, and at this time he had to calm down, and quickly mobilized troops from Nanzhou. Nanzhou and Jeju must be defended.

Zhang Min thought that Binzhou soldiers and horses would attack Jeju, but when Jiazhou was besieged, he realized that Binzhou soldiers and horses did not attack Jeju, but only sent some soldiers and horses to make an illusion of attacking.

The Northern Expedition army quickly annexed Zhang Min's land, and when the two armies joined together, the Northern Expedition team grew stronger again.

The Northern Expedition was not the worst thing, but the people's defection. Yang Xixuan's soldiers did not disturb the people, and they also vigorously publicized the days after the reunification. As the autumn harvest approached, the people could harvest food with confidence. Yang Xixuan issued an order that this year All the harvests of the people in the north belong to the people.

In addition, when the Northern Expeditionary Army crossed the border, they would clean up the bandits. All the money from the bandits was taken away, and the food was left for the people to save their lives. The hearts of the people completely turned to Yang Xixuan.

When the people turned against each other, the power they displayed was terrifying. Water can carry a boat or overturn it. Jiazhou is a typical example. The people of Jiazhou helped to cover and spread the news.

When Jiazhou was attacked, some people opened the city gate to welcome them.

At the same time, the navy also made efforts. It is true that Binzhou troops did not attack Jeju, but the navy had a clear goal. The navy first cleaned up the enemy soldiers at sea. After confirming that there was no Zhang Min navy at sea, the navy attacked the ports of Jeju.

The ports of Jeju catch a large amount of sea fish every day. These sea fish are important food for Zhang Min. Once he cannot go fishing, it will bring food pressure to Zhang Min again.

Part of Yang Xixuan's navy marched northward, targeting Haizhou and other coastal cities. They did not destroy the built ports, but only threatened fishing boats not to go fishing.

The Northern Expedition went smoothly, and news of success was frequently sent back to Jiaozhou Fucheng, but Yang Xixuan was dissatisfied because he knew that he would not be able to take down the entire north before winter came, which meant that people's food would still be forcibly confiscated.

Yang Xixuan's eyes fell on Nanzhou, and finally heaved a sigh. He could no longer spare more troops to cross the Nanjiang River.

Yang Xixuan looked at the map of the entire south again. The south has just been unified, and a large number of soldiers and horses are needed to be stationed in the southernmost part. .
